Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 49 The Legend
Zhang Tao's father, Zheng Hu, sent 2000 yuan back this year. I heard that his salary has been raised again, and it seems that he has also been promoted to a small manager.And Zhang Tao's mother also made a lot of money at home. Just Zhang Tao used the electric fish machine to bring back some loach and eel, and sold it for more than a thousand yuan.

Moreover, the family sold a pig in the first half of the year and still had a few hundred dollars in the account, and counting the money from the sales of the vegetables the family had grown before, their family had an income of nearly ten thousand yuan in the first half of the year without knowing it, and Zhang Tao The tuition fees of the three brothers and sisters add up to just over 500 yuan, so naturally there is no need to worry about tuition fees.

In the afternoon, Zhang Tao's aunt came to Zhang Tao's house to borrow money.Their family built a house this year and spent some money. When school starts, there is not enough money for two children.Originally, their family was not too poor, so they could just borrow some from the people in their own village.

But it happened that the wild acorns from the back mountain were ripe, and they sent a lot to Zhang Tao's family, and told Zhang Tao's mother about borrowing money by the way.After hearing this, Zhang Tao's mother gave Zhang Tao's aunt 500 yuan without saying a word, and her attitude was very generous. After all, the relationship between the two sisters is also good.

These are the money left after Zhang Tao's tuition fees. Originally, Zhang Tao's mother prepared 1000 yuan to pay the tuition fees for Zhang Tao's three brothers and sisters.It's just that they only used more than 500 points now, and Zhang Tao's mother lent the rest to his sister's house.Anyway, my family doesn't need to spend any money for the time being, and Zhang Tao's aunt and husband have done a lot of things for their family in the past two and a half years.

Zhang Tao's mother obviously had some small calculations in her heart. Although they were all paid, Zhang Tao's aunt and husband were very dedicated to helping their family.Now that my family has money, Zhang Tao's mother has become too generous. The money is just borrowed. At that time, my family will ask their husband and wife to work, and then it will be deducted from the wages.

Zhang Tao's two brothers and sisters were all attracted by the acorns brought by their aunt at the moment. For children, this is a good thing.Insert a bamboo stick into the cap of the acorn to play as a small spinning top, and you can spin it by pinching the bamboo stick directly with your fingers. The children here often compete to see who can spin longer, sometimes It will also make two acorns collide with each other or something.

Then this thing can be cooked and eaten, it can also be eaten raw, and it can also be used to make tofu.Zhang Tao also has them in the back mountain of his village, but unlike his aunt's back mountain, there are only a few trees here, and all of them were picked by children in the nearby villages to play with tops, or they were eaten raw.

Aunt Zhang Tao and the others have a large area and a chestnut forest. At this time of year, his aunt's family will send acorns to Zhang Tao's family.The chestnuts will be delayed, and the chestnuts on the other side will be picked after Zhang Tao and the others have picked camellia in October, and the team will share some with each family.

There are no chestnuts in Zhang Tao’s house, but there are hairy chestnuts in their Camellia oleifera Mountain, which are very similar to chestnuts, but much smaller and the trees are shorter.When it’s time to pick camellia oleifera, the children in the village will go to pick chestnuts to eat.For the people here, autumn is the day of harvest, and it is the same for the little ones.

Except for Mao Li and other wild fruits on the mountain, they are all ripe and can be eaten, such as hawthorn, and there are many kinds of wild fruits that cannot be named, which can be eaten.Although some food tastes good, eating it will make the tongue thicker, and some food will turn the mouth black, which is ugly.

"Wait once in a thousand years, wait for a time, wait for a time in a thousand years, I have no regrets. Whoever said in my ear, love me will never change. Just for this, ah, heartbroken and no complaints. Yu's heart is broken, The wind sheds tears, the dream lingers, and the love is far away. The water of the West Lake is my tears, I am willing to turn into a flame with you~~ah~~ah~~"

On the first day of school, Zhang Tao and Zhang Yan were on the way to school, when a child in front of them yelled this song heartbreakingly, which made everyone's heart tremble.This is an episode of the TV series "Legend of the New White Snake". Zhang Tao is very impressed with this TV series.

During the Spring Festival, when this TV series was played on his home TV, almost all the older men and women in the village came to watch it, and they didn't even think about going to pay New Year's greetings.And some of the episodes in it, everyone around will hum a few words, so I can often hear them singing during that time.

This TV series also brought about a change, that is, those bratty kids don’t catch water snakes much on their way to school, and they don’t hit snakes when they see them.Occasionally, a guy would see a wounded snake or something, and actually let it go.

At this time, some precocious guys probably have a white lady hidden in their heads, looking forward to meeting a white snake to repay their kindness after releasing their lives, so that they will have a beautiful wife.

"Snake! Snake! What a big snake." After thinking about it, those children were still a little scared when they encountered a particularly large snake.The heart-piercing guy who yelled in front is like this now, he stopped singing, and ran towards Zhang Tao.

Zhang Yan also became afraid after hearing this, and held Zhang Tao's hand and dared not leave. "It's okay. The snake is still far away. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, snakes are also afraid of people. There are so many people coming and going on this road. The snake must have been scared away by that guy's loud voice."

Seeing his sister's reaction, Zhang Tao immediately replied with a smile, but he only had time to laugh a few times, and then he was surprised, and pulled Zhang Yan behind him: "Damn it! That snake is crazy!"

Zhang Tao couldn't help being surprised, the snake was swimming in their direction, which was completely different from his usual common sense.Zhang Tao originally wanted to pull Zhang Yan to run back, but after seeing the snake clearly, he calmed down and pulled Zhang Yan forward a few steps.

This is a grass-colored back, a yellow belly, and a scale like the word king can be seen on the head.This kind of snake is called the King Snake in Zhang Tao's side. It is a snake with a bit of a smell, and it is not poisonous. It is a guy who often wanders around the village.

They generally eat more mice and can grow very large.The biggest one in Zhang Tao's memory was caught by a guy from Zhangjiawan, weighing eight to nine catties.The body of the snake is very light. The snake weighing eight to nine kilograms is nearly four or five meters long when unfolded. It looks quite scary.

"Brother! The snake is coming towards us, I'm afraid!" At this time, Zhang Yan behind Zhang Tao saw the snake approaching, and said timidly to Zhang Tao.The snake in front of her was nearly four or five meters long, and it looked terrifying. Could she not be afraid?

"It's okay. We see this snake several times every year when we go to school. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's a big king snake. Its hole is right next to it. Doesn't it go this way or that way?" Zhang Tao explained with a smile after hearing this.

This snake is very famous on this road, and the children in the surrounding villages have basically seen it.But most of the time, the whole body is rarely seen. It is a bit surprising that the situation like today is a bit unexpected. Zhang Tao didn't expect that the snake they often saw was already so big.

The weather in September in southern Shonan is a bit cold, and there is a temperature difference between morning and evening. At this time, snakes like to come out to bask in the sun, but this snake usually basks in the sun at the entrance of its own cave. "It's the big king snake in the cave. When did it grow so big? Is it about to become a sperm?"

Zhang Yan asked curiously when he saw the big king snake that had already swam towards the entrance of the cave, apparently he was too deeply influenced by that TV series.After hearing Zhang Yan's words, Zhang Tao felt speechless. He didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know whether he had it or not.

"It must be fine, I can see that it has horns on its head!" At this time, the guy who was scared away just now ran back again. Seeing that Zhang Tao and his sister had nothing to do, he came over, just Hearing Zhang Yan's words, he immediately replied.

Does that snake have horns on its head?Zhang Tao found that he stared at the snake and didn't seem to see the horns on the snake's head. Could it be that his eyes were dazzled?He turned his eyes to Zhang Yan, and her eyes seemed to be full of doubts, obviously she didn't see the horns on the snake's head.

And that guy swears and swears that he saw it, and Zhang Tao is speechless when he sees this guy.Isn't it just a big snake you saw?Do you use it like this?He didn't have the heart to discuss with a child whether the snake had horns or not, so he better hurry to school and don't be late.

However, what Zhang Tao didn't expect was that after one afternoon, all the children in the school knew that the big king snake they often saw on that road had horns on its head, and it was probably about to become a sperm.After Zhang Tao heard it, he was only surprised. It turned out that many legends were born in this way.

But Zhang Tao didn't expect that this matter would become more and more mysterious afterwards. When it thundered and rained, these children would say that the snake was transforming or something.Later, even the adults were alarmed, knowing that there was such a powerful snake on that road, they would always tell the children to pay attention to something on the road.

This made Zhang Tao more and more speechless. People's words are scary, and our country has always been like this.Many people have been influenced by various opinions all their lives, and never know how to live according to their own feelings. This is a terrible tragedy.

Zhang Tao’s life after school started is much less fun than in summer vacation, and there are few places to go to electric fish with electric fish machines at this time.At this time, the rice fields are full of seedlings that have been planted, and they are very lush. It is not convenient to go to the fields, and the water in the rivers and streams is also much less at this time.

Except that I can take Zhang Yan to my own reservoir to catch shrimps in the evening, there is really no fun, and I have to go during the day to pick wild fruits on the mountain.
