C4 Current Situation
Shen Qing finally understood that they were orphans who had no one to take care of them, and the only house their parents had was taken away by the evil grandma.
She didn't understand why her son and daughter-in-law had passed away. As a grandmother, she wasn't sad at all. Instead, she was scheming against her grandson and granddaughter. Was she really her biological child?
"Does my grandma not like my parents?"
This was the only reason Shen Qing could think of.
"I don't like him. I heard that it's because he doesn't look like either a grandfather or a grandmother. I think Uncle picked him up by the Green Tide River."
He really wasn't biological.
Shitou told Shen Qing everything he knew.
Shitou thought that his sister had been severely ill. Something had gone wrong with her head, and many things could no longer be remembered.
It didn't matter as long as his sister was alive. As long as his sister was alive, his home would still be there and he would not be alone.
His sister was sick, and he was a man who could take care of her.
After Shen Qing heard this, she also walked out of the house.
A cold wind blew, and a few remaining clouds appeared in the azure blue sky. The afterglow of the sun had already completely submerged into the horizon, and night was about to descend.
In the dim light, Shen Qing could see that the thatched cottage was not very solid. It seemed to have been built in a hurry, or perhaps there was a shortage of materials.
There was a small pile of firewood in front of the thatched cottage. Next to the firewood was a simple earthen stove. On the earthen stove was a small black pot with no lid.
The ground beneath his feet was mud. It had probably rained a few days ago, and the ground was still somewhat wet. He stepped on the mud. Surrounding the grass hut was a loose fence.
Shen Qing looked at the thatched cottage, then at the fence, and thought to herself:
With such a poor home and a fence to guard against, a thief's house should be richer than his own.
Walking out of the fence door was a downhill, and at the bottom of the hill was a river. This river should be the Blue River that his body had fallen into.
The river water was gurgling, and the river surface was about fifteen meters wide. Looking down, the river water was clear, but it seemed to be quite deep. It was difficult to see the depth of the river in the light.
The river shimmered silver in the darkening night, bright in the serenity.
Shen Qing looked around again. Other than her own house, there were no other residents. Behind her thatched cottage was a towering mountain. Under the black curtain, it looked like a huge monster was squatting behind her house.
"Are there very few residents here? Why can only see us? "
Shen Qing looked around casually as she asked Stone.
"Actually, our village has quite a bit of population. As we are near the town and also near the Qing Xi River, our village has more population than any other village. However, this place is quite remote. The houses and lands in the village are all bought with silver. We have no money, so we just gave this place that no one cared about. This place is furthest from the town and is also a mountain. I heard that there are many wild beasts in the mountains, so no one dares to come here. "
When it came to this room, Stone felt helpless.
"Wait, I'm a bit confused."
As soon as Shen Qing finished her sentence, Shitou stared at Shen Qing nervously, thinking that she was sick again.
"Shitou, was the silver you were talking about just now money?" Also, Li Zheng, is he the village head? is he the biggest official in the village? "
Shitou was shocked by the question. His sister didn't even know about this simple question. It seemed like her illness was not light.
"Silver coins can be used to buy things. Li Zheng is the biggest official in the village, and all the villagers have to listen carefully. If there are any problems, we can find Li Zheng to solve them."
Stone patiently explained to Shen Qing.
Shen Qing was slightly stupefied. Not only was she living in someone else's body, she was also living in an unfamiliar environment.
Looking at the ancient costume TV series, people seemed to call money money.
"Shitou, what year is it now? "Which dynasty?"
Shen Qing wanted to make clear that she was in a real situation right now.
"The dynasty? What do you mean? I heard from father that in the past, it should now be the year 221 in Yongchang. " Rock answered his sister as he thought.
With that, he turned around and looked at Shen Qing, his eyes filled with heartache.
Elder sister's illness is truly not light.
He had to grow up quickly and then earn money to treat his sister's illness.
"What year is this?" Shen Qing mumbled softly.
"Elder sister, what did you say?" Rock did not hear what Shen Qing asked.
"No problem, let me think." Shen Qing really couldn't remember what dynasty this was.
He had gone abroad as soon as he had started high school, so he had long since forgotten all about his junior high school history.
Forget it, I won't think about it if I can't remember. Let's finish this dinner first.
There really wasn't much to eat here. It was the beginning of winter and even the grass along the roadside had dried up, not to mention wild herbs and mushrooms.
If one wanted to survive in the wild, as long as they relied on the mountain or the water, they would not run out of food.
He turned around to look at the mountain. It was almost completely dark now, and although there was a faint moonlight, entering the mountain was still too dangerous. Furthermore, the stone had just said that there were wild beasts within the mountain.
He had just come back to life, so he couldn't risk his life and become the other animals' dinner just for a meal.
Looking back, isn't there still a river here? It's still fresh water, and it hasn't frozen yet. This is precisely the time when fish are beautiful.
On closer inspection, there were faint shadows swimming across the silvery river. The heavens are truly helping me!
Guarding such abundant natural resources.
Shen Qing thought to herself as she walked towards the back of her house.
Stone quickly followed, "Sister, where are you going? "Wait for me."
"Shitou, do we have a knife? Go get it. "Then wait for me here."
Shen Qing walked quickly, giving the orders as she walked forward.
"Blade?" "Yes, but it's not very useful."
Stone turned around and ran to the pile of firewood in front of the thatched cottage. He pulled out a cracked, blunt machete with a rusty blade on the back of it.
Shen Qing came out of the shadows at the back of the house, holding a long, straight branch as thick as her arm.
"Give me the knife." Shen Qing reached out her hand for the knife.
Stone handed over the machete.
Shen Qing was stunned. This sabre … it is way too different from what she imagined.
Alright, since this is also a sword, let's make do with it for now.
Shen Qing held the knife in one hand and the long stick in the other. She wanted to walk quickly to the river, but she realized that she had just recovered from a severe illness.
Shaking his body, he walked towards the river. Stone followed closely behind.
Looking along the river, Shen Qing found a large flat rock, very close to the river's surface.
Squatting down, he placed the branch aside, dipped the knife into the river, and began to grind on the flat rock.
The knife was too blunt, it could only be cut into tofu and then used as a decoration.
After sharpening the blade, he sharpened the tip of the branch with the tip of the blade.
From beginning to end, Rock had been squatting at the side and watching. He didn't understand how his sister could do all these things after waking up from an illness.
