2 Wild Man
◎Introducing you to a good job with a 9 to 5 day off◎
It seemed that all the villagers in Tianjia Village had gone to the fields. Tian Nongxi, carrying a bucket of clothes, walked aimlessly for half an hour without meeting anyone.
The river water in front of her was crystal clear and not very deep. She was not very dizzy now, but she did not want to risk getting close to the river. She just threw the bucket on a small slope about 20 meters away from the river and walked away.
She, Tian Nongxi, will never get along with green tea in this life.
Laundry? Screw it.
The Tian family didn't seem to have much land, so if they wanted to make money from farming, they had to reclaim the wasteland themselves. Since no one was around, Tian Nongxi decided to explore Tianjia Village.
After walking north for a while, we came across a large field of rapeseed flowers. The rapeseed flowers were in full bloom, surrounded by a group of bees collecting nectar.
Walking further, I came upon a forest of dense foliage, each tree so dense that it blocked out the sun, its form as large as an umbrella. This forest seemed unattended, with only a narrow path running through it, overgrown with weeds.
Tian Nongxi walked closer and took a closer look.
The leaves are dark green, oval, and slightly curved. If you smell them closely, you can smell a faint fragrance. The flowers are light yellow, growing in clusters, and are not very conspicuous.
Tian Nongxi understood what was going on and felt a lot more relaxed - camphor and camphor oil can be extracted from camphor trees, and the leaves, bark and roots can all be used as medicine. The wood of the tree itself is tough and can be used to make furniture.
Not far from home, there is a whole unowned forest, which can also be regarded as a "golden finger".
Although he didn't know how far the technology of this fictional dynasty had developed, Tian Nongxi's mind kept flashing through the knowledge he had acquired in the original world, and he gradually became clear about his situation.
If nothing unexpected happens, she should be in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River in early spring, where green onions are lush and peach and plum blossoms are in full bloom. A "little bean sprout" like Tian Yaozu can also successfully make a fortune, which must be due to the help of the geographical location.
Looking at the ownerless wild camphor tree in front of him, Tian Nongxi was in a good mood. He casually picked up some dogtail grass from the roadside, held it in his mouth and prepared to go into the path to explore.
The path was overgrown with weeds, some of which were half a person's height. Tian Nongxi pushed aside the prickly grass and was about to step in when he suddenly seemed to remember something and looked up at the sky.
The sun is hanging in the southwest and it is still a long time before sunset.
She silently noted the position of the sun and planned to take a casual walk to get a general idea before coming back.
Well, most of the trees in the forest are vigorous and lush, and growing well.
Well, there are not many mosquitoes around and the environment is nice.
Tian Nongxi squatted down and picked up a handful of soil with his hands.
Well, the soil is moist and fertile, and the soil quality is good.
Well, the handsome man took a rest, the scenery was nice.
etc……
A breeze blew, and the foxtail grass fell to the ground. Tian Nongxi was so shocked that he seemed to be petrified on the spot.
Not far away, under a camphor tree, a man in a black robe was leaning against the tree roots, taking a nap with his eyes closed.
In such a remote woods, there are people who feel as comfortable as if they were in their own living room.
Quite her style.
After thinking about it, Tian Nongxi could only think of one possibility - No way, after all this time, this forest actually has an owner?
Cai Cai, can you help me make this forest mine?
…
Well, it seems that the system will ignore people when there is nothing to do.
Tian Nongxi sighed. Perhaps the fact that she had nothing to lose gave her some courage. She took a few steps forward, hesitantly preparing to wake the man up and ask him.
It was not until she really walked in front of the man and saw his face and dress clearly that Tian Nongxi hesitated again.
The man's hair was tied up high with a wooden hairpin, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, his eyes were closed, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, his nose was high, sweat was oozing from his forehead, and his lips were thin and bloodless.
He didn't sleep very well. Tian Nongxi looked at the man's frown and came to a conclusion.
That's right, you have a bed but you don't sleep here, are you afraid that someone will steal your forest? How can such a handsome guy be so stingy?
Tian Nongxi thought so in her heart, resisted the urge to wipe the sweat off the stranger's face, and stood up to leave.
A strong wind suddenly blew, and there was curling smoke from the distant hillside. But what reached Tiannongxi's nose was not the aroma of food, but another familiar smell.
She paused and took a closer look at the man leaning against the tree.
In a moment, Tian Nongxi squatted down and lifted the stranger's robe without any shyness. She looked at it for a while in the sunlight, then frowned and gently touched the man's navy blue undershirt.
It was wet, and sure enough - it was blood. Although not much, it was flowing out slowly and continuously, with no sign of stopping.
As an educated modern person, Tian Nongxi could not just stand by and watch someone die.
Without hesitation, she pulled down her sleeve a few feet, placed it on the man's bleeding area, and wrapped the wound tightly.
After bandaging the wound, Tian Nongxi wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked forward another hundred meters, found a pile of dry wood, and prepared to drill them together to make fire.
After sunset, when the night was dark and the dew was heavy, it was too dangerous to leave a seriously injured person sleeping alone. But being alone with a strange man in a forest in a strange world, let alone what to do if he woke up, even if he didn't wake up, Grandpa Tian and Grandma Tian would find a reason to tie her directly to the coffin of Village Chief Li's son the next day.
Tian Nongxi thought about it and decided to settle the man before sunset, and then go back to the Tian family to sit down and discuss with Grandpa Tian and Grandma Tian.
She couldn't marry a dead man, nor did she have to marry a dead man.
Fortunately, what they wanted was not her to get married, but the benefits that Baobei Yaozu would get after she got married, which was simply money. Although she could not give it for the time being, she had learned how to shamelessly make promises to her tutor after years of hard study.
Tian Nongxi's hands were busy, and his mind was also busy.
She looked at the sleeping man in front of her, her thoughtful expression gradually becoming ferocious, and suddenly she couldn't stop grinning.
The man in front of me was injured and lying alone in the deep jungle. He was most likely hunted here and now he has no place to live and is on the run. At this time, a kind girl who fell from the sky like an angel is willing to give him a place to stay. Just thinking about it is enough to make people cry.
The most important thing is, although it is not visible on his face, but when she fetched water to wipe the man's wound, she found that he had an excellent figure, the kind that modern people say - "thin when dressed, and muscular when undressed". There is not a single piece of fat on his body, and he looks like someone who does physical work every day.
Tian Nongxi is determined to be one of the top ten good people who moved Tianjia Village this year.
Tian Nongxi changed her mind and decided to stay with him. When he woke up, she tearfully described his situation and her kindness.
/
A quarter of an hour later, Tian Nongxi successfully lit the fire. She rubbed her sore wrists and stood up to take off the man's outer robe to dry it.
As soon as Tian Nongxi untied the man's belt, his hands were grabbed forcefully.
She looked at the man in surprise, who had woken up at some point. Her mind was in a mess and she had completely forgotten the lines she had prepared.
The man's big, bony hands pressed down hard on Tian Nongxi's wrist, causing veins to bulge.
He lowered his brows and said in a low voice, "Who sent you?"
……system?
Tian Nongxi tried hard to break free, but couldn't move. She said in a bad tone, "Brother, is this how you treat your savior?"
"...I'm sorry, but thank you very much." The man stared at her for a long while, finally shifting his scrutinizing gaze. His tone softened, "Thank you for saving me, young lady. I can grant you a wish."
…
Aladdin also asked for three wishes, and he only granted one to his savior.
After thinking about his purpose, Tian Nongxi reluctantly took the initiative to break the ice, "My name is Tian Nongxi, what's yours?"
The man cherishes words like gold, "Lin Luan."
"Very good." Tian Nongxi looked at Lin Luan's gaze not far away, gently pressed the wound he had just bandaged for him, and accidentally said what he was thinking, "The wound hasn't healed yet and you're putting it back together."
Lin Luan just frowned slightly, and soon his expression returned to normal. "Okay, I promise you."
"?" Did you hurt your brain?
Tian Nongxi glanced at Lin Luan very quickly, as if he was looking at an idiot. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like an idiot. He made up his mind and asked directly, "How about... you come home with me?"
It was Lin Luan's turn to look at the fool.
The air fell into endless silence.
"Think about it, you are seriously injured now and must recuperate. As your savior, I must be a good person and cannot ignore you. Let's put it this way, my home is not far ahead, you just come with me and take a few days' rest. When you recover, I will also be a good person and introduce you to a good job with a nine-to-five job and two days off." Tian Nongxi spoke eloquently and incessantly. After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Luan eagerly.
She thought to herself, I don’t mind that you came from an unknown background, so why do you mind?
Lin Luan remained silent, and no one knew what he was thinking. When Tian Nongxi thought there was no hope and was about to get up and leave, he hummed lightly.
/
It was already dark when the two of them groped their way out of the forest. Fortunately, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Tian Nongxi used the vegetation to determine the direction and slowly walked home with Lin Luan.
Lin Luan looked at the woman who took a step not far away and looked back, and frowned slightly.
His disappearance must have caused chaos in the palace. He had to contact Wuxu and bring the news back to the palace.
If the woman in front of him was from a nearby village, he could rest and wait here for a while. If she came from an unknown place and had bad intentions, he could keep her by his side to prevent any mistakes. Lin Luan looked at Tian Nongxi who was walking back until she was shoulder to shoulder with him. He pretended not to hear her words and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Miss Tian, I won't get lost."
/
Lin Luan was injured. In order to show his kindness, Tian Nongxi took a rest after walking a few steps. It was not until midnight that the two of them finally reached the village entrance.
The fog was thick. Tian Nongxi was thinking about how to get home and explain to the Tian family, while keeping an eye on the silent Lin Luan beside him, fearing that he would run away.
As she walked, she gradually discovered that something was wrong.
It was the middle of the night, but the village was bustling with activity. Before even reaching the main road, one could hear the sounds of gongs and drums.
On the small hill not far away, there were many people, drums and music were playing, and gongs and drums were deafening.
The leader of the team was playing the suona, adding to the sadness of the night.
"Someone must have died." Tian Nongxi didn't understand the various rituals of this world. He was indifferently comforting Lin Luan, whose expression was unclear, for fear that he would think he was a monster.
"Go this way, just turn a corner and you'll be there." Tian Nongxi had a good memory and brought Lin Luan to the door of the Tian family without taking a detour.
The gate of the Tian family was wide open, and the small area inside and outside the gate was crowded with people. Everyone had a happy look on their face, and they were chatting happily about something.
Tian Nongxi caught a glimpse of the decoration at the door, paused, and suddenly realized.
Before she could make any move, the fat lady leaning against the door eating melon seeds was the first to notice Tian Nongxi coming out of the alley and Lin Luan behind him.
"Ah——" she screamed, and the melon seeds in her hand fell to the ground. She ran into the house regardless of anything.
"Ghost, there's a ghost!" the fat aunt wailed, gasping for breath. "The girl from the Tian family is not satisfied with this marriage and has come back to take my life."
