The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 4 Sacrifice
Facing brother Xun's culture, Runtu shook his head and replied, "I didn't study."

Brother Xun was a little curious: "Why don't you read?"

This question is a good one. If you can’t even afford to eat, ask people to eat meat.

He really wanted to say, you are the son of a landlord's family, of course you can go to private school.

Runtu said lightly, "I will do it later."

Brother Xun: "Brother Runtu, you can go to school with me. It's in Sanwei Bookstore, just across the river from my house, very close. If you want to enroll, Mr. Jingwu will have a simple assessment."

Runtu thought about the feasibility of this matter.If you want to go to a private school, you need to prepare for Shuxiu, which requires a sum of money.I can't afford it at home, and I am already 15 years old, so I can count as a laborer at home and can do some work.If he goes to school, all the work at home will be handed over to his father, and he will definitely be too busy.Unless he can get a sum of money first in a short time, then the family can support him to study.

Runtu thought about the name Sanwei Bookstore. There was another article in elementary school, from Baicaoyuan to Sanwei Bookstore.Thinking of this, Runtu asked, "Brother Xun, where is your herb garden?"

Brother Xun said excitedly: "You know my Baicao Garden, it's my paradise, where I often play, I'll take you there."

Very close, also in the yard, just opened up a small garden alone.

The two came to Baicao Garden. The environment here is good, and the sound of cicadas and crickets can be heard.

Brother Xun was very happy to introduce his family's garden to Runtu: "Look, there are green vegetable beds, smooth stone well fences, tall acacia trees, and purple mulberries. When you open the broken bricks, you will sometimes meet centipedes and Mylabris. Polygonum multiflorum is planted here. Some people say that the root of Polygonum multiflorum has a human shape, and you can become a fairy if you eat it. It is said that there is a big red snake in this garden. Brother Runtu, do you know the red snake? ?”

Runtu: "I know a story. There is a legend about the red snake beheading the white snake. It is said that Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was the red snake."

Brother Xun was a little surprised by Runtu's insight.

Runtu looked at this garden with great interest indeed.

The soil quality is much, much better than that of the thin sandy land near the sea that I take care of.

Seeing the places where Polygonum multiflorum was planted in the garden, he wondered in his heart whether Polygonum multiflorum could be planted in the space.

It can also be placed directly in the space, but Runtu is a little embarrassed to think that taking it without warning is the act of stealing, or because of his previous experience of supporting education, his ideology and morals do not allow him to do that.

Runtu heard him say that Polygonum multiflorum can grow into a human form, but in reality there is no one that can grow into a human form. He wondered if it was possible with his spatial ability, and asked, "Brother Xun, can this Polygonum multiflorum give me One plant?"

Brother Xun immediately agreed: "Of course. When I knew that the roots of Polygonum multiflorum have a human shape, I pulled them out. I kept pulling them up, but I have never seen a root that looks like a human."

Brother Xun walked over, looked at one that was longer and thicker, and pulled out the one with dirt, "Look, it's deceiving to look like a human. I've pulled so many and I've never seen a human-shaped one. Run Brother Tu, this is for you."

Brother Xun's childhood was relatively happy, and his family didn't care much about him.Kind of like a stocking-like state.Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Brother Xun has a lot of time to think and has great ideas.He likes to read miscellaneous books, read novels, draw pictures, and write picture books, tree books, and wild recipes. Perhaps because of these, the articles he wrote in the future are humorous and thought-provoking.

Runtu took Polygonum multiflorum over.Carefully put the bag into his arms, in fact, he put it directly into the space the next moment.

He wanted to try whether his space land could be planted, and what was the difference between planting in reality.

"Brother Runtu, I still don't understand why you can catch birds. But I obviously saw them go in, pulled the rope, and ran to have a look, but there was nothing."

Runtu thought to himself that if he had no space, he would be the same as you.Pretend to be cowardly and said indifferently: "You are too impatient, and there is no time to wait for it to come to the middle."

It's summer now, just when the mulberries are ripe, Runtu looks at the red, purple and black mulberries on the tree and he feels a bit greedy.These mulberries are not very valuable, so if you put some in the space, there will be no problem.Just do what you say, and with a direct thought, two or three catties of mulberries entered your own space.

After staying in Baicao Garden for a while, in the afternoon, I had dinner at Zhou's house.The food here is quite rich, and the food is the same as what the owner's family eats. The Zhou family is quite generous, no wonder they can cultivate a generous brother Xun.It's just that Runtu just came here as a part-time worker, he was not qualified to serve, so he stood outside with a bowl to eat.

There are class concepts everywhere, which makes Runtu feel a little uncomfortable.

At night, Runtu stayed in the ancestral hall and looked at the sacrificial vessels.

Not tired, just a little bored.It was summer at this time, and at night in the ancestral hall, it would not feel cold or hot, it was a bit cool, and the environment was okay.It's just that the wages are a little low, and there are only more than ten copper coins in three or four days.

On the second day, the Zhou family's sacrifice officially began.

A lot of people came here, many of the Zhou family had some relatives, and even some big friends of the Zhou family in the county came. After all, the Zhou family held this sacrifice once every 30 years, and it was very lively and dignified.

There are also many people watching outside. No matter what age, people have the mentality of watching the excitement in the bushes.There is also no entertainment, and finally there is a lively look, and many people have come.

Runtu looked at the sacrificial vessels in the ancestral hall.

All the Zhou family members came to the ancestral hall.The Zhou family has a lot of people. In Kuaiji County alone, the Zhou family has three houses, and these three families are big families in the county.

The old man of the Zhou family led the children of the Zhou family and began to burn the congratulatory texts, muttering a poem: "Only Zhao Xing Jiarong, I steam the people, praise the virtue of thinking and writing, and match the sky, read the merits of leadership and education, five winds and ten rains, Jiaxiang keeps Mu, Ning Xin gives Jiahui often, and never forgets to protect the people's appearance"

Everyone bowed respectfully.

Runtu watched from the side, the movement was quite big, it must be a kind of culture.

Two days later, the Zhou family's sacrifice ended.Runtu's temporary work is also over.

Brother Xun was a little anxious and said to Runtu: "Brother Runtu, are you leaving now? Stay for two more days."

He regards Runtu as his best friend and has great respect for him.Now that Runtu was about to leave, he seemed very reluctant.

Runtu: "Come and play with you in the future, and I will bring you more fun things then."
