Faced with reality, Zhao Ran chose to temporarily bow down to his fourth uncle and planned to sell his land to him. Since he had made up his mind, he slept soundly until three o'clock in the morning before waking up.
After breakfast, Zhao Ran prepared to go to his fourth uncle's house. Leaving the door, I opened the simple bamboo fence that was over half a person tall outside the small courtyard, and looked up to see Uncle Zhao rushing towards me with a bundle.
Why is Uncle here? "Zhao Ran asked.
Sanlang, hurry up! "Uncle Zhao looked anxious and stuffed the bundle on his shoulder directly into Zhao Ran's arms, pulling him to run out.
Zhao Ran was very puzzled and didn't know what Uncle Zhao meant. Zhao Ran is already eighteen years old, and he doesn't want to leave. Uncle Zhao really can't pull him. As a last resort, Uncle Zhao had to stop and hastily explain the reasons behind the incident in a few words.
Earlier this spring, a mining accident occurred at the Chuanling Copper Mine in the Songfanwei area west of Long'an Prefecture, resulting in the death of over a hundred miners. The Chuanling copper mine is an imperial property, and this matter falls under the jurisdiction of the eunuch in charge of the Chuanxi Pacification Bureau. So the eunuch Zhao De ordered the Long'an Prefecture to. Levying corv é e labor to make up for the shortage of miners. Shiquan County offered twelve spots, but unfortunately Zhao Zhuang was selected for one spot.
In the past, when encountering similar abnormal corv é e labor, the old clan leader would take out money from the clan property and hand over the official corv é e silver to exempt from service. But in today's early morning temple discussion, the newly appointed fourth uncle of the clan leader did not follow the usual practice and instead assigned manpower to serve normally. Originally, the rotation sequence could not reach Zhao Ran's household, but the two households of villagers before him have visited relatives in the "recent days" and are not in the village. The deadline given by the county was tight, so Zhao Ran became a tragedy.
Sanlang, this is Lao Si's trick. If we go to Chuanling, we may not have a day to come back! "Uncle Zhao stamped his feet in a hurry and urged Zhao Ran to escape quickly. Even someone as straightforward as Uncle Zhao can tell. Please indicate the source when reprinting. How could Zhao Ran not know that this was an opportunity for Fourth Uncle to seek personal gain? It seems that Uncle Si is eager to take over his land, and as long as he makes good use of this opportunity, he may even get three acres of fertile land for nothing!
Is it a joke to serve at Chuanling Copper Mine for a year? If I really have to go, I probably won't be able to come back. Zhao Ran even speculated that he might never make it to the Chuanling Copper Mine. As long as Uncle Si spent a little money, it was common for him to "die of illness" in the middle way.
Why didn't the clan council call me? "Zhao Ran asked.
Who knows? If you were working in the fields well, you would have been called to the ancestral hall. If you had known earlier, you would have come to inform you. Didn't you see? They are determined to mess with you
Where should we go? "Zhao Ran looked dejected. It is impossible for Zhao Ran to leave the county without the road signs issued by the county.
"Go to hide in the mountain for a few days. Babaofan (Rice pudding with eight-delicious ingredients) will come back after ten and a half days. Then you will say that you have gone to pick herbs in the mountain. Everything will survive these days!"
After careful consideration, Zhao Ran realized that Uncle Zhao's method was simple yet effective. Since the two families that were supposed to go on corv é e duty before him could "visit relatives", why couldn't he "go into the mountains to collect herbs"?
After thinking about it, Zhao Ran didn't waste any time. He took the package and bamboo tube handed by Uncle Zhao, pulled out his feet, and walked straight down the path towards the back mountain. Before diving into the mountains and forests, Zhao Ran turned around again and saw Uncle Zhao still standing in front of his dilapidated yard. He looked up and saw himself looking back, and in a hurry, he waved his hand repeatedly to signal himself to leave faster.
Zhao Ran took a deep breath and suddenly plunged into the mountains and forests.
Inside the package, there is a stack of hard bran cakes, a few dried sweet potatoes, and a few old pickles. If you save them, they can last for three to five days without any problem. Zhao Ran carried a package and bamboo tube on his shoulder, picked up a folded branch in his hand, and walked straight ahead while exploring the grass and bushes under his feet. There are many snakes and insects in the forest, and striking grass to startle snakes is the most basic way of walking.
The primary forests in this world are much more lush than the secondary forests of the era before time travel, with long grass and dense trees, making it difficult to walk. Until the sky gradually darkened, Zhao Ran finally arrived at the destination of this trip - at the top of a slope, two huge rocks were stacked together, and the angle at the fold was just right to block the rain and shelter from the wind.
How should we practice in a world controlled by Taoism?
Talismans, elixirs, Taoist priests, spirits, rituals...
If you want to practice Taoism, that's great. Please start by cleaning the toilet!
When the talisman arrives, where do you need to stand?
