Thinking of collecting rent, Zhu Da understood why his family was not doing well, but he didn't think about it deeply, just waited and watched.

About five miles northwest of the village are mountains. From a distance, there are mountains and mountains, which look like a hundred feet high wall erecting on the west side of the village, which is majestic. Zhu Da remembered that the elders said that there was Hongtao Mountain there, but some people said it was Luliang Mountain. These two names were very familiar to him in that lifetime.

Looking southwest along the mountains, you can see a gorge. A small river flows out from the gorge and winds eastward. This river is called Xiami River. Baibao Village is about two miles by the river.

Seeing these, Zhu Da’s memory was rumbling, and many concepts became clearer. Why is Baibao Village better than other villages? It is because relying on this Xiami River, the military households in the village dug canals to dig water to irrigate the fields.

These days, the fields that can be irrigated are of high quality, and the crops of irrigated land are stable and high. After paying the donation tax, each household can have more left than elsewhere, so life will naturally be better.

"......The people in our Baibao Village are blessed. They are more than thirty miles away from Datong and Huairen County. If they were closer, the irrigated land would have been taken to their homes..."

Thinking of his parents' feelings, Zhu Da understood why the irrigated land in Hebaibao Village was still in his hands.

Outside the village, more and more children ran. Everyone shouted and walked through the fields, chasing each other. The busy adults were in a good mood, but they just laughed and scolded for a few words and didn't care much. Zhu Da walked on the road in the fields with a look around, no one paid attention to them. Their land was in another direction.

Just find a landbag, stand up and look around. The northwest is mountains, the northeast and southwest are flat. You can vaguely see the undulating mountains in the southeast, and you can vaguely see a city in the northeast. That must be Datong City.

When Zhu Da was still a traveler, he had been in Datong several times. Although he had never been to Baibao Village, he had seen the surrounding terrain and combined with the description in his memory, Zhu Da had already figured out where he was.

Thinking of this, Zhu Da suddenly became depressed. So what if he knew, what was the use of knowing, which could improve his situation? Can he live better? The answer was no. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more frustrated he couldn't help but hold his head and squat down.

"Why am I so unlucky..."

In the final analysis, Zhu Da has not fully adapted to time travel, and this shocking situation cannot be accepted from his heart in just a few days. The poor life in his family and village is numb. People who are already numb are normal in the eyes of ten-year-old Zhu Da, but now he feels completely different.

Zhu Da saw no hope or any possibility of change. Could it be that he would work hard in Baibao Village, and the harvest was exploited by thousands of households and commands, and it became a habit like his parents? Zhu Da felt a little desperate.

"You are dead and dicks are over the sky. You little bastard are not dead yet. You can do something like an eggless person. If you have nothing to do, you can help your parents work. Otherwise, you can go to the river to take a look and see how cowardly you look!"

The slutty curses sounded, and Zhu Da was startled. He looked up and found an old man standing in front of him with a wooden stick. He must have just passed by.

The old man was tall, with a slightly hunched back, a messy beard, a small eye, and a very vivid one. He had a few scars on his face. His originally kind face was very ferocious. When he saw Zhu Da looking over, he immediately glared at him.

When the other party glared, Zhu Da subconsciously retreated and staggered on the earthen bun. He became inexplicably frightened, covered in cold sweat, and felt like he was about to be slaughtered.

Looking at Zhu Da's reaction, the old man frowned, shook his head and said disdainfully, "Coward!" He didn't say much, and continued to walk towards the village with a wooden stick. He carried a leather pocket on his back, not knowing what was inside.

When Zhu Da calmed down, the old man had already walked a distance. Zhu Da recognized that he was an old man from Baibao Village, with his surname Xiang's name Yue, and he depended on him for his life. He remembered that his parents kept him away from Xiang Yue, saying that the old man had a life on his hands and was unlucky to deal with him.

In the past, Zhu Da couldn't feel anything. He was just curious about seeing it from afar, or avoiding it after meeting it. But now Zhu Da felt that the other party had really been on the battlefield and killed people, because the feeling just now was very similar to the "last life". In those twenty years of life, the vice president of Zhu Da's welfare home was a veteran. He had participated in wars and made meritorious contributions. Zhu Da was disobedient to discipline and caused trouble. The vice president had a bad temper. That time he was scared and almost collapsed. It was the fear he had just now. It seemed that this old man Xiang had really killed people...

Zhu Da looked at the old man's back blankly, but his dark mood just now changed. What's the despair? I'm still alive! This is the greatest happiness. As long as I live, it is possible. I can come to this era and experience a new life. Who can have such an opportunity? I should be excited, not despair. I was able to move from the welfare home to a normal life. Why can't this era?

"Thank you..." Zhu Da jumped up from the earthblock and shouted loudly, but he stopped after shouting two words. The other party walked far away and might not be able to hear it.

The scolding to the old man just now was a bit awkward, which made Zhu Da’s heart break. Speaking of the fact that the recovery from dying that day was just a forced adaptation, and I realized it.

At this time, Zhu Da was relaxed all over. Just be alive. Just think about what he wanted to do and change. After figuring out this, he was not in a hurry to observe and walked towards his own fields.

When Zhu Da walked in the fields, he found that the so-called "wheat waves" were the impression of the distance, but when he got closer, it was much worse. As a traveler, he also took photos to memorize the harvest rice fields and wheat fields. At that time, even in areas that were not known for their fertility, the plants in the fields were much denser than they are now when it was harvest season. It was really "the wind blows the waves". What you see in front of you was really too sparse.

The plants are sparse, and the harvest is naturally limited. Moreover, there are still a lot to pay. It is easy to imagine how much you can keep at home. But when you see the expressions of the villagers along the road, you know that they are very satisfied with the harvest. For them, the scenery this year is indeed good.

When he arrived at his own land, Zhu Da's father Zhu Shitou and his mother Zhu Wang were already busy and sweating profusely. Seeing his parents' appearance, he suddenly thought of what he said to the old man just now. Indeed, instead of thinking about it, it would be better to help his parents work.

"Don't make trouble here, it's worth you here, go back quickly!"

"Walk slowly, don't run around, don't sweat or catch a cold!"

Zhu Da's parents didn't let him reach out, but instead drove Zhu Da away, and couldn't help but give some advice.

Looking at Zhu Da's appearance, Zhu Shitou and Zhu Wang were both very happy. Zhu Wang even muttered: "This child was depressed when he woke up. Today he looked completely fine. I have to make some good things for him when I go back tonight!"

Zhu Da didn't hear his parents' discussions. He wanted to take a walk and see more. At this time, Zhu Da was full of curiosity and fun.

The terrain is flat and you can see far if you stand a little higher. Zhu Da saw the adjacent Xiamazhuang less than six miles away, but he rarely passed in his memory, let alone Datong City further away. Thirty miles are actually not far away, but he has never been there.

Zhu Da focused more on the White Fort Village. According to the arguments of his parents and elders in the village, White Fort Village is a fortress. Once the Tartars in the north come, the military households will have to use weapons to defend the fortress. But now this "fortress" has no defense at all. The trenches outside the village have been filled with fields. The original earthen walls have either been opened or directly become the courtyard wall of a certain family.

From this we can see that Datong, at least Baibao Village, has been peaceful for some time.

If you turn north outside the village, you can see the official road in the distance. The location of Baibao Village is relatively remote, more than three miles away from the official road. When Zhu Da looked at the official road, he immediately found several knights galloping up and rolling smoke and dust on the road. What are you doing? In my memory, my parents told me that you must be careful to avoid this when you see this.
