Funny article + fourth natural disaster + farming + technology advancement
The wind in the twelfth lunar month was like a knife, causing pain on my face.
Han Shouyi opened his eyes suddenly and saw a dim adobe house with a few bunches of shriveled corn hanging from the beams. The air was filled with a strong smell of herbs and... A faint smell of blood.
"Hiss—" He wanted to sit up, but his head felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he gasped in pain.
At this moment, a memory that did not belong to him flooded into his mind like a flood that burst a dam.
This is January 1, 1931, in Heifeng Village deep in Chahar Province. And he, Han Shouyi, was originally a social worker who had just graduated and lost his job in the 21st century. Last night, he was still worrying about next month's rent on the computer in a rental house - the landlord just sent a message saying that it would be increased by 300 yuan, which was almost half a month's living expenses. But now, he turned out to be the young master of Heifeng Village, an unlucky guy whose father had just died.
The original owner's father, the old village leader Han Xiaotian, was a typical "charlatan". He occupies the mountain as the king but never embarrasses the people nearby. He will even secretly send food to the villages below the mountain in years of disaster. When dealing with surrounding landowners and businessmen, they also abide by their duties and only collect the agreed "tolls", never asking for a penny more. In these troubled times, such "chivalry" is obviously inappropriate. As a result, life in Heifeng Village is tight, and the brothers often don't have enough to eat.
What's even more terrible is that last month, the old village leader wanted to protect a man who was bullied by the Japanese.
