Li Zisheng bumped the ball with his hands, threw it on his head, and skillfully pushed it with his shoulders and head a few times. Then he caught the ball with his chest and fell down his torso, thighs and calves on his feet. He then pushed it with his left and right feet a few times, and shot the ball straight into the air with force, and finally caught it steadily. These movements were smooth and coherent, extremely pleasing to the eye, which made the friends around him make a lot of admiration.

Then he spoke to everyone, "Did you see that except for the hands and arms, the rest of the body can dribble and shoot. Of course, it is mainly used to kick with your feet, so it is called football!"

The boy first explained the rules of the game, and then directed his friends to mark a well-sized field with a broom, and then set up goals on both sides with branches and stones. Li Zisheng first eliminated a few particularly young children, and then used the lottery method to divide the crowd into two teams of seven people in each team, and the remaining small team of children were used as substitutes.

This completely disrupted the two small groups in the east and west of the village, leaving the previous division. Finally, he appointed himself and Li Zixu, who was assigned to another team, as the goalkeepers of the two teams.

Everything was about to end. His mind turned around and he shouted everyone to come to the center of the court, saying, "We have a lottery game, and they will clean the team that lost tomorrow morning. Are you okay?"

Children's simple minds, and just such a small bet also adds some enthusiasm. Teammates have good relationships and cheer each other up, while those with poor relationships are cold and cold words to remind the other party not to hold back.

This seven-a-side football match appeared in this world for the first time. No one present, including Li Zisheng, did not expect that this sport would be popular in the Jiuzhou Immortals in the future. In order to commemorate this beginning, it became a routine that the young players would first come to the game at the beginning of the official game.

By the way, these young men have learned the "Five Elements Boxing" and "Five Elements Mouth" passed down from the clan since childhood. Although this boxing technique is not as top in the world, it is still a bit impressive. At least it makes these rural teenagers quick and flexible in their movements, and their endurance is also very long.

Of course, the scene was a mess at the beginning. Apart from Li Zisheng, these teenagers did not understand the rules and tactics, just hugged each other and fought for the ball under their feet. After a while, Li Zisheng had to leave the goal and became the coach of the two teams and the referee on the field at the same time.

Li Zisheng was neither partial nor private. While observing the performance of the children in the field, he arranged suitable people to go to the right position. He was a high prestige and was also the "inventor" of the sport. His young classmates did not resist his guidance and punishment.

After a while, the young football players who had become familiar with the rules and understood the tricks began to look decent. The two teams of men on the court attacked front and back and fought left and right, and they really looked a little bit.

Of course, the games between children are not so harmonious, and physical conflicts are inevitable between pushing and shoving. It is also because Li Zisheng is quick-witted and fair in his work. He always severely punished the perpetrators to get off the court and let the substitutes on the sidelines play, which makes the game go smoothly.

In the end, these players began to look like a group cooperation under Li Zisheng's reminder and had some cooperation tactics with each other. They only knew that one person was driving the ball and slowly learned to pass the ball, but later they started to make long passes and rush.

It was not until the dusk was filled and the sky turned dark and it was almost impossible to see the ball clearly, and the game ended. Regardless of winning or losing, every child participating in the game was sweating profusely, but he still looked like he was still feeling unfinished. If he hadn't been afraid of the punishment from his parents at home, he would have to fight at night.

In the end, these teenagers walked towards their homes reluctantly. After all, they were the age when innocent people loved to play and not hold grudges. At this time, they did not distinguish between the outsiders from the east and west villages. While fighting, they discussed their performances just now and the tactics they will adopt tomorrow.

Li Zisheng and his clan brother Li Zixu are neighbors. Both of them are in the northwest of the village, with only a small pond separated by it. So in the end, only these two people left to walk together.

When the boy saw that his clan brothers around him were talking about football, but he became more and more depressed as he walked away. He also knew that Li Zixu's family had some problems recently, so he couldn't help but ask: "Zixu, what's the problem with you? Is it because the food and rice in your family are short of food and rice again?

His clan brother raised his head, lowered his bow and said carefully: "Brother Sheng, can you keep it a secret for me?"

Li Zisheng nodded.

The young boy said in a low spirit: "I...I'm going to go into the mountain to catch snakes tonight, if...if I can't come back..."

His words were interrupted by his clan brothers: "Zixu, are you crazy?! How can you catch snakes alone in every family? Have you forgotten how your father was injured?"

It turns out that the back mountain specialty of Lishan Mountain is a poisonous snake with red color, called the Red Qi Snake. Lishan villagers who are familiar with snake nature also call it a hundred-step down, fire red chain.

The saliva of this snake is actually not very poisonous, but it carries the power of fire. The wounds bitten by humans and animals seem to have been sold. Not only that, if the venom enters the body and does not receive timely treatment, it will eventually turn into a burn with blood and flesh. Even if the injured person does not die from the wound infection, he will become disabled, which is the most amazing.

However, because of this, this red Qi snake can be regarded as a kind of alchemy material, and people come to Lishan Village to purchase it all year round.

Li Zixu, a good family member, was good at catching snakes and had been living through it several generations ago.

This room was originally a small family, and it was not well managed and there was not much land. Therefore, several generations ago, it simply took it as its main business. With the special snake medicine and familiarity with snake nature, it was not bad.

But as the saying goes, you will eventually see ghosts when you walk around at night. No matter how careful you are, it is still very dangerous to remember snake catching. The men in this room often have to die well, and almost end up dying under the Shekou, so the population is still not prosperous.

Li Zixu's father was accidentally bitten by a snake before the New Year this year, and was seriously injured. Although he had the help of his clan relatives, he was still in bed and recuperating, let alone catching snakes. The money he saved at home had to treat his father. Now the family of five is relying on his mother to make a living, so he has a little hard life, and even the schoolchild's lunch is rare.

This made his clan brother's eyes moist, and he choked and said, "It's because my father was injured, so... they were going to sell their younger sister!"

Li Zixu's family of five, in addition to his grandmother and parents, he and a little girl.

His sister's name is Li Li, she is only six years old this year. She is very cute and cute, but Li Zisheng also recognizes it, so he said with a gentle voice: "Zixu, what happened? Tell me that there is no hurdle in the world that cannot be overcome. Maybe everyone can find a solution by discussing it together."

His clan brother wiped his eyes randomly with his sleeves, and then he revealed the matter.

Li Zixu got up last night and passed by his parents' bedroom. He accidentally heard the voice inside. His parents were discussing selling his daughter to a wealthy family in the neighboring village as a child bride, and gathering money for his father to go to the city for the immortal master to treat his injuries.

The red Qi snake is unique in nature. Generally, snakes mate in spring and summer, while these snakes gather together in summer and autumn. So now is the best season to catch this snake. Li Zixu was born in a snake-catching family and learned some of the tricks. So the little boy decided to go to the mountain to catch snakes alone, and earn money to let his father treat his illness, so he didn't have to buy his little sister.

Li Zisheng asked, "Do you know how much money your family still lacks?"

His clan brother sobbed and replied, "I heard from my parents that it costs 100,000 yuan to treat this disease, but now it is still 50,000 or 60,000 yuan."

It turns out that the transactions of ordinary people in this world are also priced by Yuan stone, but the value of Yuan stone is too high, so the Yuan stone is divided into ten thousand, and one ten thousandth of a standard Yuan stone is called Yuan. Ten thousand yuan is equal to the ten-side Yuan stone.

So how many things can I buy for this dollar?

Li Zisheng has loved reading since he was a child, and even had no books to read when he read the account book at home. He knew that the purchase price of rice with a good pound of shelled rice in the average year is only 2 yuan, and the best irrigated land in the village can plant two seasons of rice in a year. The two harvests add up to more than 1,000 kilograms, and only 6,700 kilograms after removing the shell.

This 100,000 yuan or ten-sided Yuan stone is equivalent to more than 70 acres of rice produced in a year. This is not a small amount, especially in Li Zixu's family background.

He took a breath and was about to say that he could borrow money from his father, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words.

Li Zisheng's family is considered wealthy. His father not only had 100 acres of fertile land in the village, but also raised pigs and mills. However, these agricultural income accounts for at most one-third of his family's input. His father Li Zhaochang mainly engaged in grain transactions and... usury loans.

According to the concept that the boy came from inexplicably, the landlord and capitalist were the labels he put on his father.

When purchasing grain, he faced the entire village, and most of them were from the same tribe, so Li Zhaochang didn't have much pressure on the price. However, even if he was a relative, he was not so merciless. Although he was young, he was not confused about the number. He also knew that the money he had made in his family was not so easy to borrow from the nine and thirteen.

According to Li Zisheng's understanding, the family's annual snake catching and agricultural output income is only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. Even if Li Zixu's father got the money and healed his injuries immediately, he could catch the snake in time in time, and then he would take it directly to the city to buy it in winter, and he would only be able to pay back the money!

So, maybe by this time next year, not only will the land become the property of his family, but the family will become his own tenants. This young man doesn't want this to happen, at least not to happen alive in front of him.

He pondered for a moment, raised his hand and touched the wooden box in his arms, and said solemnly to Li Zixu: "Zixu, I can keep it a secret for you, but you have to promise me something!"
