The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 2 Going to the County to Meet Brother Xun

Throw away the trash and return home.

Father said, "Come with me to the city tomorrow."

"county seat?"

Father: "Master Zhou's family will hold a large-scale sacrificial ceremony, which takes 30 years to reincarnate. You go and take care of those sacrificial vessels."

The sacrifice of the Zhou family was very solemn this time.

There are a lot of offerings, and the sacrificial utensils are very particular. There are also many worshippers, and the sacrificial utensils must be guarded against being stolen.

Father worked as a part-time worker at Master Zhou's house.

It is more important to look at the sacrificial utensils. After all, they are all bronze utensils, and there are even a small amount of gold utensils, which are very valuable. It is precisely because of this that special personnel are hired to look after them.Only those whom the Zhou family knew as reliable people, like their family's part-time workers, would get such a job.

The next day, my father was packing things at home.

Zhang Runtu washed and tidied up his face.

Looking at the reflection in the clear water in the basin, with a round face and a shining silver collar around his neck, he looks more energetic.Although the Zhang family is a part-time worker of the Zhou family, the living conditions are actually not bad, relatively good in this age, not too bad.

It took almost two hours to reach the county seat.

If it was in his previous life, he probably couldn't bear to walk so far on two legs, but after inheriting the body in this world, he feels that his ability to endure hardship has also been greatly enhanced.

The county seat is obviously different from the village where his family lives. There are a lot more people here, a lot more lively, and there are many novel things that are not found in the village.

After a while, he walked to Zhou's house.

Zhou's house is much bigger than his own.

"Master. Runtu is called Master."

Zhang Runtu followed his father and yelled awkwardly, "Master."

Master Zhou: "Lao Zhang, your son has grown up so much."

"Yes, master, this year is fifteen."

Master Zhou: "It's called Runtu? The body is fairly strong. In the future, Runtu can also come to my house to work part-time."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir."

Master Zhou is a very kind person, and Runtu's father thinks that if Runtu can work part-time in the Zhou family like himself, it will be another way to make a living.

It is not easy for people nowadays to have a way to make a living.

But Zhang Runtu doesn't think so, he has cheats, the world is so big, he can go anywhere.

And in this era, in this precarious era, I always have to do something, so I won't come here in vain.It’s not here to give people today.The concept of equality for all people in later generations has already taken root, making him, a time traveler, inferior to others, which is very awkward.

Zhang's father called Runtu: "Thank you, master."

In Zhang Runtu's memory, his father loved him very much, otherwise he would not have made a more expensive silver collar to wear around his neck.The average age of people nowadays is not long, especially for poor families. They are afraid of some accidents and his death, so my father prepared this silver collar, so he made a wish in front of the gods and Buddhas, and trapped him with a circle. .

Zhang Runtu still tried his best not to disobey his father, and at this time, he paid great attention to the word filial piety. He just said what his father said, "Thank you, master."

Master Zhou: "Old Zhang, take Runtu to the room where the sacrificial vessels are placed, and find your way."

The Zhou family is relatively large.

On the way, Zhang's father kept telling him: "Runtu, just stay here and watch, don't run around if you have nothing to do."

Zhang Runtu nodded: "I know, Dad."

It's a bit boring to stay here for a while.

Looking at sacrificial vessels is quite boring, but fortunately, it is relatively leisurely, and I am tired when I am busy, so I need help to move the sacrificial vessels.

Suddenly at this time someone was calling him.

"Brother Runtu, you are here."

Runtu looked at the person coming, who looked a year or two younger than himself, and he knew that this person was Brother Xun when he was a child, the greatest writer in modern times.

He and Zhang Runtu met once before and became friends.

"Brother Xun." Runtu also greeted him.

"Brother Xun" is a relatively close name. When there are others around, it is better to call him Young Master.

Brother Xun's scientific name is now Zhou Zhangshou.

He admires Runtu very much, because Runtu's life is completely different from his own.He knows how to catch birds, stab fish, catch fish and shrimp, all of which he doesn't know.

"Brother Runtu, let's hunt birds."

He likes to play with Runtu and has a sense of novelty.

Runtu said: "This can't be done. It must be snowed heavily. We were on the sandy ground, and when it snowed, I swept out a clearing, propped up a big bamboo plaque with a short stick, and sprinkled corn grains to watch when the birds came to eat." , I pulled the rope tied to the stick from a distance, and the bird was covered under the bamboo plaque. There are everything: rice chicken, horned chicken, partridge, blue back..."

It was still summer at this time, so it was not so convenient to catch birds.

He continued: "It's summer now, we can go to the seaside to collect shells, there are red and green ones, there are ghosts and ghosts, and there are Guanyin hands. Dad and I will take care of the watermelons at night, and you can come too."

Brother Xun: "Watermelon? Do you care about thieves?"

"No. People passing by are thirsty and pick a melon to eat. We don't count it as stealing. We are dealing with badgers, hedgehogs, and chrysalis. The chrysalis is biting melons. You pinch the fork and walk gently. Go, give it a sharp stab, be fast and ruthless."

Hearing this, Brother Xun admired him even more.She looked astonished as if the people in the city had never seen the world.

Brother Xun looked at him with admiration. For a person of this age, being able to touch fish, catch shrimp, and catch birds is a remarkable skill, which makes children envious.

Brother Xun was still a little disappointed at this time, "Is it impossible to catch birds before it snows? I brought all the tools."

When he heard the news that Runtu was coming, he was very happy, and he had prepared a lot of things to use the day before.

Outside the house, there are bamboo baskets and ropes, as well as a handful of corn.Brother Xun is fully prepared.But I heard the reply that you can't catch birds if it doesn't snow.

Runtu said: "It's not that it's impossible, it's just that the difficulty is much higher, and I probably will return empty-handed."

In winter, the birds will be relatively short of food, so it is easy to eat the bait set.And when it snows, the land is white, and the yellow valleys will be very conspicuous in the snow. If you continue to hunt birds in such an environment, the success rate will increase greatly.

The two of them were still going to try bird hunting.

Runtu looked at the sacrificial vessels for a long time, and felt bored and needed to pass the time.

And the one in front of him is a real big boss, a big boss with a long history.I want to say hello and make friends with him, and take advantage of this east wind to send me to Qingyun.But now that he has cheats, it doesn't matter if he thinks about it or not.

Preparations for bird hunting began outside the house.
