Chapter 109: Encountering It
"What are you doing!!!" the child raised the stick and shouted at Lin Zisu.
Lin Zisu quickly raised her hands and waved them, "I have no ill intentions, I..."
"Don't point the stick at people!" Lin Xianpeng came over, followed by Lin Xianwen, Lin Xiancheng, Lin Xianwan, and Shen Anrong... He held a stick and looked at the group of half-grown children who gathered on the opposite side.
Lin Zisu pulled Lin Xianwen and pointed at the things in the child's backpack. Lin Xianwen leaned over to take a look, but the child leaned over cautiously to block Lin Xianwen's sight.
Lin Xianwen: . . . . . .
Lin Zisu: "Can you let me see the things in your backpack?"
"Why should I show it to you? No!" said the child and was about to leave.
Another older child stood in front of Lin Zisu and the others with a fierce look in his eyes, blocking them.
Lin Zisu looked at the tense atmosphere and said quickly, "I can trade food with you!"
"No!" the boy immediately refused.
Lin Zisu: "Can I give you some money?"
"No sale! No exchange! No giving! Let's go!" The young man waved his hand behind him and continued walking forward.
"Wait a minute! Can you lend it to me to take a look? Let me look at it here, I won't take it away!" Lin Zisu said as a compromise.
The boy was about to open his mouth to refuse when the child behind him tugged at his clothes and spoke to him in a low voice.
The boy thought for a moment and said, "What on earth do you want to see?"
Lin Zisu glanced at the expressions of the children. If she was not mistaken, she would say, "The piece of paper in the backpack!"
After listening to her, the expressions of more than a dozen half-grown children changed, and the younger children all had looks of surprise.
Lin Xianwen looked at his sister in confusion. Is her eyesight so good? Wait, a group of half-grown children who looked like beggars, treating a piece of paper as a treasure? Although paper is precious in this era, it is not as important as food on the road! Unless... the content on the paper is very important.
Boy: "I can lend it to you for a look, but you can only look at it here and you can't take it away."
Lin Zisu nodded quickly: "Okay, no problem, I'll watch it in front of you."
Boy: "What do you want in exchange?"
Lin Youcai: "What do you want?"
The two siblings turned around and saw that many uncles, aunts and grandfathers had come and were standing by and watching. Everyone in the team was looking over here.
"Make way in front."
"Will you let me go or not?"
"Everyone is standing on the road, blocking the way!"
Lin Zisu: "Let's not stand on the road anymore. Let's go to the side and discuss it, okay?"
The boy nodded, and the two groups walked to the side of the road.
Boy: "We want food, just give us food."
Lin Youcai: “How much do you want?”
The boy looked at his companions behind him and thought for a moment, "3...3 jin of food."
"Wait a moment." Lin Youcai said as he pulled his daughter aside, and the two of them whispered to each other.
Lin Youcai whispered: "You are not seeing things!!!"
"Oh, you'll know once you see it. I mean the paper. They reacted so strongly, so it's probably true."
"Okay, okay." Lin Youcai walked back, "2 kilograms of coarse grains, just watch it here, okay?"
The boy looked at the large number of people in their team, most of whom were young and strong, and nodded in agreement after hesitating for a while. If they had just robbed them, it would have been easy for them to deal with more than a dozen half-grown children. They were willing to negotiate and even exchange things, so they must be reasonable people.
Young man: "Okay, bring the food first."
Lin Xianpeng: "I'll be back soon."
While waiting for her eldest cousin to get the food, Lin Zisu asked tentatively: "How did you get it? Can you read?"
The boy turned his head away and said nothing, while the other children looked at the group of adults and children across the street with curiosity. There was vigilance, uneasiness, envy and curiosity in the children's eyes.
After a while, Lin Xianpeng came over with a small wooden basin filled with 2 kilograms of coarse grains.
"The food is here, take it out and show it to me." Lin Zisu asked the young man to confirm the coarse grains and stretched out her hand towards him.
The boy waved his hand, and the child who had been hiding behind the crowd came over reluctantly, took the backpack and handed it to the boy.
The boy reached out and flipped through it, pulling out a stack of papers, "Are you looking at this?"
Lin Zisu leaned over, covered her mouth in surprise, and nodded wildly, "That's it!"
The two sides cautiously gave each other food and a stack of paper.
Lin Zisu was not in the mood to care about all these things. She took a stack of papers and quickly unfolded them.
Lin Youcai and Lin Xianwen leaned over, their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open.
Lin Xianwen: "I'll go..."
Lin Youcai: "Is this true or not..."
Lin Zisu turned to the front and saw the title: Heguo Weekly.
Four large red characters were prominently printed at the top of the first edition. The pinyin was also marked below the four characters, and the date was printed in a small box next to them.
Lin Zisu couldn't help but read aloud: "Heguo Weekly, Issue 17, September 1009, 9, Monday, published by Heguo Press."
Lin Xianwen: "Newspaper?! Newspaper!!!"
The three of them looked at each other. Isn't this the modern version of People's Daily? ! !
Child: "This is the Heguodi newspaper! Do you know the words on it?"
Lin Zisu pointed at the word "newspaper" in the notice on the newspaper and said, "These two words mean newspaper! The official bulletin is from the Dahuan Dynasty, and the one in the He Kingdom is called newspaper."
Lin Zisu ignored the others and unfolded the newspaper. It was a large piece of paper with words printed on it. It was divided into 10 sections, 5 on the front and 5 on the back. When folded, it was a stack of paper, and when opened, it was a large piece of paper. This was very familiar to modern people. But in this era, it was too strange.
Lin Zisu, Lin Xianwen and Lin Youcai were each holding a corner of a newspaper and reading. Shen Xianglan waited for them to come back for a long time, so she walked over to see what was going on. She was shocked when she saw the newspapers in their hands.
"How come some characters are big and some are small? Although they are small, they are very clear and neat." Tao Mingyuan leaned close to Lin Youcai and looked at the content on the newspaper. "Look, the two characters "龌蹉" are printed so small, but the strokes are still clear. This is the first time I have seen this way of printing characters. It is very strange. The radicals of the characters are not connected."
This is modern regular script printing, not brush calligraphy, it must be different! Lin Youcai ignored him and finished reading the newspaper first.
Lin Zisu first took a rough look at the 10 pages. The first page was an announcement from the government of Heguo. The second page was a welcome to people from all over the country to settle in Heguo, with a map of how to go to Heguo by land and water in various directions. The third page was about the policies and requirements for settling in Heguo.
The fourth and fifth editions are about the current domestic situation in the country and the daily life of ordinary people; the sixth and seventh editions are about medical treatment, including the prevention of parasitic diseases, women's menstrual period, pregnancy, and childbirth. . .
The eighth page is a job advertisement. Various shops and factories are hiring, and the requirements for workers and working conditions are described in detail.
The ninth page contains all kinds of buying and selling information, such as buying healthy livestock, selling timber, etc.
The tenth edition is a collection of stories, which popularizes the law through stories, promotes the stories of ordinary people, and also includes the four great classics familiar to modern people and online novels...
