Chapter 5 Life is a problem!
The old man ran to Gu Chan, grabbed her hand and ran into the water.
Gu Chan just crawled out of the water, and soon half of her body was in the water again.
She stopped, dragged the old man and shouted, "Don't run into the water, we can't swim to the other side."
"You have to swim even if you can't! It's better to drown than to be eaten by this beast, right?" The old man looked frightened.
"..." Gu Chan.
At this time, the two loaches in Gu Chan's pocket spoke.
Baidu was the first to say, [Master, don’t be afraid, it’s just a mysterious beast and is no match for our spiritual beasts. 】
[Yes, Master, throw us into its mouth and see how we deal with it. 】
Sogou is also coming into its own.
Gu Chan was completely confused. She had no idea what a mysterious beast or a spiritual beast was.
All she knew now was that the big white tiger had waded into the water and was not far away from them. If he didn't think of a way to save himself, he would be drowned or bitten to death.
At that moment, she acted like a live doctor, grabbed two loaches, pointed them at the big white tiger's open mouth, and quickly threw them out.
The two loaches squeaked and instantly slipped into the big white tiger's mouth.
The big white tiger was startled at first, and then a shocking scene happened.
I saw a sudden burst of white gas all over the big white tiger's body, and then it lay down and rolled in the water as if it had eaten poison.
Its entire tiger body also began to slowly wither, and two loaches actually sucked all the flesh and blood from its body.
The old man was so dumbfounded that he opened his mouth wide enough to stuff a big goose egg inside.
After the big white tiger was sucked into a mummy and lay motionless in the water, two loaches flew out of its mouth and scurried back into Chan's pocket.
The old man came to his senses, quickly ran to the shore to distance himself from Gu Chan, stared at her and exclaimed, "Who are you?"
"Grandpa, don't be afraid, I'm just an orphan." Gu Chan avoided the important and took the easy.
"How could an orphan have such a powerful loach? You lied."
Gu Chan did not rush to explain, but walked out of the water step by step, came to the shore and approached the old man.
The old man was still vigilant and kept a distance of ten steps away from her.
Gu Chan's eyes rolled, and suddenly her legs went limp and she slumped to the ground, sobbing, "Grandpa, my family were all killed by the enemies, and I was thrown from the cliff into the river by them last night. Thanks to the protection of these two loaches inherited from my family, I survived! "
"Woooooooo..."
As she said that, Gu Chan deliberately cried even more sadly.
The old man was still vigilant just now, but when he saw how pitiful Gu Chan was, he instantly softened his guard and quickly stepped forward to help her up from the ground to comfort her, "So that's it! Don't cry, dear kid. It seems that you are also a Poor man, if you have no place to go from now on, just follow me!"
"Okay grandpa, I wish you all."
"Then let's go! Follow me back to the village. From now on, grandpa will raise you as a grandson to repay your life-saving grace. It just so happens that in the future you can also carry on the family lineage of my old Zhang family, which is better than raising a daughter."
"..." Gu Chan was about to cry but had no tears.
She really wanted to say that she was a daughter, not a boy!
Seeing the kind-hearted look on the old man's face, she thought about it and let it go. After all, in ancient times, it was normal to favor boys over girls. If the old man knew that she was a girl, she might not be as good as a boy. Treated.
Dross!
Preferring boys over girls is a bad thing. When she has the ability in the future, she must change these bad things.
The old man said no more and happily led Gu Chan towards the woods.
On the way back to the village, through the two chatting, Gu Chan realized that there are many countries in this world, large and small. It can be said that there are many countries, hundreds of schools of thought contend, everyone is constantly at war, and the people are in dire straits. The country she is in now is called Tiancang Country, and it is just a small country in this world.
The old man's name is Zhang Wanshan, a villager from Jiuyang Village, a small village in front of him. He went into the mountain to cut firewood today and encountered the big white tiger.
In Jiuyang Village, every household makes a living by blacksmithing. Zhang Wanshan is also an old blacksmith. The year before last, the Tiancang Kingdom recruited his three sons to be drafted. They all died in the battle, leaving only him, an old man, living alone.
It's no wonder why he wanted to accept Gu Chan as his grandson just now.
At noon.
Gu Chan followed Zhang Wanshan into Jiuyang Village.
The whole village is not big. There are about thirty families from the beginning to the end of the village. Each family lives in a mud house made of mud. The better ones can even cover it with tiles, while the rest are built with thatch. Son.
Everyone in the village relies on blacksmithing to make a living. When you enter the village, you can hear the clanging sound of blacksmithing. The children are either wearing rags or running around with their bare buttocks playing in the mud. The boys are all naked, showing no signs of doing anything. taboo.
Gu Chan looked at such a realistic picture and felt a little embarrassed at the same time. After all, she was also a girl, how could she be as shy as these little kids!
The villagers heard that Zhang Wanshan picked up an orphan by the river and raised him as a grandson.
None of them looked down upon Gu Chan, and they all spoke in a weird and arrogant way.
Gu Chan was very confused. She didn't understand the reason and didn't ask in detail.
After returning home, Gu Chan discovered that Zhang Wanshan's family was indeed poor, with only two mud houses and a blacksmith shop, and nothing else, not even a single livestock.
After entering the yard and sitting down, Zhang Wanshan happily went into the house and took out two white-flour buns and handed them to Gu Chan, "Eat quickly, you are full. Grandpa will teach you blacksmithing. If you have skills in the future, you won't be afraid of not having enough to eat." "
"Grandpa, why don't our family raise any livestock?"
"I can't afford to raise it! Even if it's a chicken, it's still a mysterious beast that can kill enemies on the battlefield. How can we ordinary people afford to raise it?"
"Ah? Are all chickens mysterious beasts?" Gu Chan opened her mouth wide, surprised and dumbfounded.
She thought she could raise domestic animals as she pleased! I never thought she wanted to be simple.
Zhang Wanshan sighed repeatedly, "Our Tiancang Kingdom fights every year, and countless soldiers die every year. When the combat power is insufficient, even the lowest mysterious beasts such as chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and pigs have to fight on the battlefield. Anyway, I haven’t eaten eggs for more than ten years, and I have almost forgotten what they taste like.”
"So don't we usually eat meat?" Gu Chan was curious.
"We are ordinary people, not rich officials, merchants, or rich people. What kind of meat can we eat? Some corn buns are good."
Gu Chan was stunned!
Dry!
She finally traveled through time and forget her bad luck. In the future, she will not be able to eat meat and can only eat vegetarian food?
This uncle can't stand it, but my sister-in-law can't stand it!
"No, if I just eat vegetarian food, my weak body will only get worse and worse. I have to find a way to eat meat." Gu Chan reached out and touched his chin, thinking secretly in his mind.
She never thought that the first thing she wanted to do when she traveled through time was to find a way to eat meat.
This... what the hell is going on!
Zhang Wanshan didn't want to say any more, he just urged, "Eat quickly, fill your stomach, and learn blacksmithing from me. I have to teach you as soon as possible, otherwise we, my grandfather and my grandson, may starve to death."
"Grandpa...it's not...it's not that serious, right?"
"These are the only two steamed buns left at home. We have to wait until these knives are finished and sold in the market before we can have money to exchange for food." Zhang Wanshan explained a little embarrassedly.
"..." Gu Chan.
Gu Chan covered her face with her hands!
It’s over, life has become a problem!
