After death, I became the cannon fodder of the three protagonists

Chapter 32 Is this true?

Although the village head is a little old and his legs and feet are a little inconvenient, he is very agile in doing things.

One of the two nailed wooden stakes to the side, and the other tied the rope.

The rope is an ordinary hemp rope, except that there is a knot every one foot. After wrapping it up, just count the number of knots on each side. If it is less than one foot, use a ruler to measure it.

A ruler is a bamboo board with a scale on it. Su Mo looked it over while helping to hold it. Compared with the scale in her world, the scale was not very accurate.

This ruler is exactly one foot long, and in the Yong Dynasty: one foot is equal to thirty centimeters, but in reality, this ruler is forty centimeters long.

Su Mo didn't care too much, after all, it was a world derived from a novel, and she couldn't think about everything in that world, otherwise it would only add trouble to herself.

The wasteland was quickly measured, and the village head took out a piece of paper and a stick of charcoal from his pocket. The charcoal was shaved and slender, stuck in the bamboo tube, with a small half exposed.

Su Mo was a little surprised, and recalled that this thing is called a charcoal pencil. I don't know who figured it out. It was all the rage because of its cheap price and convenience.

But not long after, all the major aristocratic families stood up and condemned the students who used this thing, generally saying that charcoal pencils are not on the table...

All major families jointly boycotted charcoal pens, and the status of charcoal pens plummeted. Some scholars were even seen using charcoal pens in the academy and were excluded by their classmates.

Since then, charcoal pencils have only been circulated among the common people.

"It is 33 feet six centimeters long and 22 feet wide, which is almost a piece of land."

As the head of a village, he must be able to read and count.

The village head put the charcoal pencil and paper back in his arms, and when he went to the yamen, he had to leave the paper for the yamen.

The morning light shines through the shade of the trees, and the stars fall on the ground, mottled.

Su Mo helped put the rope away, stood up, and saw a trace of pain on the village head's face, holding the crutch tightly, slowly moving his painful ankle.

After realizing that Su Mo got up, he immediately sorted out the emotions on his face, as if it was just Su Mo's illusion.

"Let's go!"

The village chief said calmly, turned around with his cane on, he walked very slowly, his body rose and fell.

Su Mo followed behind with complicated eyes.

This piece of land is at the foot of the mountain, so if you walk to the north, you will find the road to the neighboring village. Su Mo chose this place because it was estimated that five meters to the south, there is a small stream gushing down from the mountain spring. stream.

The two of them walked on the path, and they reached the main road after a while. To everyone's surprise, Chen Yuanhai stopped at the side of the road with the ox cart.

"No one went to the county today, so I told them and drove the ox cart to Gu's house.

As a result, I heard from Ping An that you have not returned, but you have come here..."

Chen Yuanhai greeted him with a naive smile, and skillfully held the village head's wrist.

"Second uncle, I'll help you."

The village chief can't stand on his legs for a long time, and he can't walk too much. If he didn't know the exact location of this wasteland, he would have searched for it directly.

The village chief was helped into the bullock cart, and the pain in his ankle was a little weaker, and he was relieved immediately.

Chen Yuanhai yelled at Su Mo to get on the bullock cart again.

"The sun is shining, sister-in-law of the Gu family, come up quickly."

The main road is a bit spacious and can accommodate three ox carts in parallel, so there is no shade in the center.

The summer sun does not distinguish between morning, noon and night. The sun is shining obliquely, and there is no wind blowing. After a while, fine sweat breaks out on the forehead.

Su Mo was not pretentious, and got on the bullock cart swiftly.

The ox cart was moving slowly, and the breeze blew by, blowing away a little heat.

The village head seemed a little uncomfortable, rubbing his ankle with his hands, Su Mo pursed his lips, and looked at Chen Yuanhai's back.

"The third brother of the Chen family, if you want to go to Gaozhou, how should you go?"

"There is a horse-drawn carriage to Yaozhou in the county."

Chen Yuanhai held the reins tightly, and when he heard Su Mo call him, he answered subconsciously, and then reacted, frowning.

"The sister-in-law of the Gu family is going to the state capital?"

The village chief also frowned and glanced at Su Mo, but said nothing.

"When I was in my mother's house, I read a miscellaneous journal, which contained the reasons why the fields by the sea could not be planted and the solutions, but it has been too long, and I can't remember the solutions clearly.

When I went back to the bookstore in the county, I couldn't find it, so I gave up.

Who would have thought that there are fifteen acres of land now, so I thought about it and went to Yaozhou to have a look. "

Su Mo noticed that the village chief's eyes were getting hotter, she lowered her head in embarrassment, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice lowered a little.

"If I can find it, my family's future livelihood will not have to worry..."

Both Chen Yuanhai and the village head were shocked.

The bullock cart stopped suddenly, Chen Yuanhai turned his head, his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

"Sister-in-law of the Gu family is serious?"

He stared at Su Mo blankly, his heart was already turbulent.

Their family is one of the few families in the village who do not go to sea.

When Chen Yuanhai's grandfather and two uncles went out to sea with their father, they never imagined that the heavy rain and strong sea wind would capsize the boat, and when the four of them were swept to the shore by the waves, they were all breathless.

The village head who was guarding the sea quickly rescued him, but in the end, only Chen Yuanhai's father was rescued. From then on, Chen Yuanhai's father had a shadow in his heart towards Haihai.

Changed the name of the eldest son to Chen Cihai, and later gave birth to another son, who was also named Chen Lihai and Chen Yuanhai.

And it was strictly forbidden for the three brothers to approach the sea, and they were not allowed to go fishing with them.

How can there be money if you don't go to sea?
Because of that incident, Chen Yuanhai's father suffered serious physical losses and could not do heavy work.

Fortunately, the village head helped the younger generation, and handed over the work of selling fish to Chen Yuanhai's family, and also handed over the work of driving ox carts to his family, so that the whole family could have enough food and clothing.

But after a long time, it is inevitable that some people will have opinions, especially Mrs. Wang's family often refuses to pay for the car in the name of relatives.

But if what Su Mo said is true, it means that their good days are coming...

The village chief is also as excited as Chen Yuanhai at this moment, not because he is not calm enough, but because the temptation to grow crops in the fields is too great.

When the villagers go out to sea, they are gambling with their lives against God. It’s fine if the weather is calm, but if the weather suddenly changes, or if they encounter a sea monster, their lives will be lost.

But if you don't go, where will the money for the family to eat and drink Lazard come from?
Go to work in the county?

At the beginning, someone once asked, how can it be enough for five hours of hard work and only ten pennies?

Moreover, the village is near the sea, and every few years in August and September, there will be dragons crossing the sea, which is a lot of money to repair the house.

But if the field can grow crops, it will be different...

"Naturally it's true..." It's strange.

Su Mo smiled slightly.

If the setting of fishing at sea is compared to a circle, the people of Luoshan Village are enclosed in it.

Occasionally someone rebels a bit.

I tried to farm, but found that the fields could not grow crops, so I had to give up.

Later, I tried to find a short-term or long-term job in the county town, and after inquiring, the money was pitifully low, so I stopped thinking.

Later, some people wanted to raise poultry, but they couldn't keep them alive, so they had no choice but to give up.

Then some people wanted to open up wasteland, but found that it was too hard to grow, so they gave up completely.

As time goes by, they are tightly bound by this circle, and they will no longer make any changes, but deep in their hearts, they have a faint extravagant hope.

This is why everyone was so shocked when Su Mo said that she caught a wild boar by digging a trap...
