Quick Travel: Is it OK to recycle yourself?

Chapter 143 Ancient Version of Poor Little One 28

This is like the Peach Blossom Village in the Peach Blossom Spring. When Yue Yun can stand on his own, he plans to retire here. It is beautiful to think about living a peaceful life, working from sunrise to sunset.

Qu Nannan didn't care what the two old men said and hurried back to clean up her house. She still lived at the end of the village, where it was quiet and there were no people passing by.

Qu Nannan opened the door of her house and saw a clean and tidy house. It was obvious that the villagers had helped to clean it. Usually, if she didn't come back for a few days, the little girls in the village who were about her age would come to help clean it. Otherwise, the house would be unsleeping after a few days.

Their village really did not lock the doors at night, and there were no thieves in the village. In the past, when the villagers married, they would choose someone who had no relatives.

First, there are few people in the village, and married men and women living in the village is conducive to increasing the population.

Second, the people living in the village do not want to intermarry with people from other villages. If they encounter such unreasonable people, it will be detrimental to the unity of the village. As for how these requirements came about, Qu Nannan did not understand. She only heard that it was the rules set by the ancestors who came here at the beginning.

Anyway, she had no plan to get married and have children here, so she didn't ask around. When she was old enough, she planned to go out for fun and treat people's illnesses along the way, which was just the right time to avoid the villagers' urging to get married.

Qu Nannan cleaned up the room that had been unoccupied for a long time, and took out a set of bedding from the space and spread it out. These were the extras she bought this time, and she didn't expect to use them so soon.

Doctor Yue's eyes were sharp at first glance, so she really didn't dare to take out things that were not from this era.

After cleaning the house, she went to the village chief's house and helped to prepare the meal. She didn't want to do it, but it didn't mean she didn't know how to do it. Besides, it's not good to go to someone else's house to eat and just wait for the food to be ready. Besides, her cooking skills were pretty good after learning them in her previous life.

After Doctor Yue arrived, he was not in a hurry to leave, but wandered around the valley with his hands behind his back all day.

When Qu Nannan discovered this place, she cleaned it up. There are no deadly wild beasts here. Qu Nannan also buried devices that can drive away snakes and insects on the edge of the valley to ensure the safety of the villagers.

So Doctor Yue could walk around and no one stopped him. When the old man got tired of walking, he would sit by the river and fish with his homemade fishing rod. He was so comfortable living like this that he wanted to live there.

If he hadn't been thinking about his apprentice in the pharmacy, he really would have wanted to just stay there and not leave.

What about Qu Nannan? In order to feed her master well, she went out almost every day to hunt for prey. In her spare time, she taught a few people selected from the village how to make salt, and she would not stop until all the ore she brought back this time was used up.

The village chief was very happy when he saw the large amount of salt stored in the cave. Salt was a big expense in their village. Now they could save a lot of money to buy livestock and poultry.

When she had nothing to do, she started practicing the internal force taught by her master. This thing was quite magical. There really was a stream of energy flowing through her body, and she also knew the specific location of the so-called Dantian.

During dinner, Doctor Yue suggested that the empty land could be cleaned up and some herbs could be planted. Qu Nannan was very happy to hear this. She was still thinking about how to bring this up with her master, but she didn't expect that her master would bring it up first.

"Master, which lands have you seen that are really suitable for growing herbs?"

"I can still use this to trick you. When you bring back some seeds next time, I will write down the planting instructions for you. You just need to follow them."

Qu Nannan was a little worried. She couldn't stay in this village forever, but almost no one in the village could read. What she had taught was not enough to understand anything too complicated.

It would be great if we could find a gentleman who is willing to live here. It would be better if the children in the village could learn more words so that they can have a bright future. We can't have our ancestors living here for generations without leaving.

It's not a chaotic time now, so there's really no need to make young people live a life that they can foresee the end of their older lives.

"What's wrong? Tell me what's worrying you, and I'll think of a solution for you."

After thinking about it, the master who has been living in the city might have a solution: "I am thinking of finding a teacher who is willing to live in seclusion here, and teach the children in the village to read. I don't think they will learn a lot and have a promising future, but at least they won't be cheated when they go out."

"Is that it? You know what, I actually have a suitable candidate here. When I go back this time, I will take you to meet him." The old man thought it was a very difficult matter.

Qu Nannan's eyes lit up: "Really? Master, can you please tell me what kind of person he is?"

Doctor Yue knocked Qu Nannan's head with chopsticks: "Girl, it's as if your master has deceived you."

Master Yue was talking about a scholar in his thirties who now lived in one of the most chaotic slums in the city and lived a hard life.

It stands to reason that even if a juren worked as a copyist, an accountant, or opened a private school, it would not be possible for him to end up so miserable.

But this person was so unlucky that he encountered bandits on his way back from the imperial examination and broke his leg while escaping. The imperial court had a decree that disabled people could not serve as officials, which immediately ruined his path to success.

When the man was sent back, his mother couldn't stand the shock and fell ill. She threw all the money in the house into the hospital, but she couldn't be saved. Seeing the family in such a state, his wife turned around and remarried.

It is understandable that husband and wife are birds of a feather, and they fly away separately when disaster strikes. The bad thing is that the second husband's family of this woman has a little money. This woman is afraid that this scholar will rise up and take revenge on her, so she has been using the little power of her husband's family to suppress the scholar.

This made the scholar only able to take small jobs, which were only enough to support himself and his two children at home, and he could not earn any more. But for the sake of his children, he had to endure it. He couldn't let him and that woman perish together, leaving his two children helpless in the future.

Things always get worse. The child of the scholar fell ill, and he had no one to turn to for help. He had to sell the only valuable property in the family. The child's illness got worse day by day. When the scholar was most desperate, he heard someone mention Doctor Yue.

With the hope of giving it a try, he took the child to find Doctor Yue. Doctor Yue treated the child without hesitation and agreed to pay for the medicine first.

Doctor Yue had no intention of asking for the money at that time, but Juren was a man of integrity and did not want to let others suffer in such a muddle, so he insisted on paying the money back and even wrote a solemn IOU.

Doctor Yue had no choice but to agree, but in fact he had never thought about asking for the money at all.
