Peasant girl who traveled through time: I brought an earth with me

Chapter 24
The more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved, and tears fell involuntarily.

Qin Ye was at a loss for a moment. Seeing her cry, she felt her heart throbbing.

He stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, hugged her tightly and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't worry, I'll be here from now on!"

This embrace slowly calmed her heart, and after a while, she pushed him away.

Suddenly there was some indescribable affection between the two of them.

Qin Ye grabbed Wang Dabo on the ground with one hand and dragged him out like a dead dog.

After he left, Zhong Chuchu lit the candle and picked up the stick on the ground, feeling annoyed.

There is no one stupider than her in the world. She can be captured even if she has a self-defense weapon in hand.

She couldn't resist Wang Dabo alone today. If there were a few more people, wouldn't she be at the mercy of others!
Just using a stick doesn't seem to work. You have to find some new self-defense weapons. It is best to learn some self-defense moves yourself, so that you can resist even if you encounter danger again.

Zhong Chuchu had a nightmare for the first time since traveling here for so long. She was frightened and woke up several times during the night. She didn't fall asleep until the rooster crow next door in the morning.

Maybe she was frightened at night, so she fell into a deep sleep. She didn't wake up until there was a knock on the door.

"Dabaoniang, are you at home?" Ms. Zhao from next door shouted at the top of her lungs.

Zhong Chuchu rubbed her eyes, thinking something big had happened. She hurriedly got up, dressed and washed, and then went out to open the door for her.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao entered the door, she saw that Zhong Chuchu's hair was still loose. She covered her mouth and smiled, knowing that she had just gotten up!
I couldn't help but feel envious in my heart. Whose eldest daughter and daughter-in-law could be as happy as Zhong Chuchu, and could still sleep until three o'clock in the morning?

Zhong Chuchu knew what she was thinking when he saw her eyes, and his face seemed a little uneasy.

She casually pulled her hair back and asked, "Xiao Mei Niang, what's going on? What happened?"

Mrs. Zhao slapped her head, with a look of gossip on her face, "A strange thing happened in the town today! What do you guess it is?"

Zhong Chuchu raised her eyebrows, looking confused.

"Hi! You can't even guess it." Zhao said mysteriously.

"Wang Dabo, you know! It's the one who possessed her mother-in-law a few days ago."

Zhong Chuchu's eyelids twitched. She really didn't know what happened after he was dragged away by Qin Ye yesterday.

"What happened to him?" she asked curiously.

Zhao looked around and then said: "He was found naked lying in the woods under the Seven Immortals Peak this morning. It is said that his whole body was bitten with blood by wild beasts."

"Ouch, that's so miserable! After being discovered, he was carried home. His limbs were all broken and he couldn't move. When asked, he couldn't say anything. He kept saying, "I'm not a human, I'm a pig." A beast worse than a dog!"

After saying this, she took a sip and said, "His mother-in-law went back to her parents' house yesterday. He went to the woods at night and was shirtless. He didn't know what dirty things he did."

"I heard that there have never been wild animals in that forest. Even ordinary animals are extremely rare." Zhong Chuchu said.

"Who says it's not the case! He must have done something immoral!" Zhao said.

Zhong Chuchu nodded with a look of approval, and had to admire Zhao's reasoning ability.

She didn't want to mention this matter anymore, so she had to change the subject: "Forget it, let's not mention him, it's bad luck. Have you eaten yet? I'll make something."

Mrs. Zhao also felt unlucky. Seeing that Zhong Chuchu didn't want to talk anymore, she also felt bored. She waved her hand and said, "I won't eat. I have to go back to cook."

After seeing Mrs. Zhao off, Zhong Chuchu hurriedly went to cook. She got up late today, and the two children only ate a little snack and hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

She fried the pork belly she bought yesterday and the dried wild vegetables sent by her old house. It tasted pretty good.Dabao's mouth was full of oil after eating.

But Zhong Chuchu wanted to eat vegetables. Nowadays, every meal has meat, which makes her a little tired. It seems that she has to go to Blue Star to get some vegetables to eat.

Nearing noon, the sun gradually emerged. Now the days are getting shorter and shorter, and the sun only lasts for a few hours a day.

She sat in the yard in a daze, looking at the fence that was less than a person's height, lost in thought, and wanted to think of ways to strengthen it, and maybe get a dog.

Next spring, she also wants to send Dabao to Luming College in the town. In this era, the only way out is the imperial examination.

And if there are scholars in the family, the tax will be reduced by half.

Although studying requires a lot of money, the most important thing she needs now is money. She just needs to think of a reason when the time comes, otherwise she will get rich all of a sudden, which will still make people think wildly.

Just as she was thinking wildly, a man's rough voice sounded outside the courtyard wall.

"I'm selling firewood!"

Zhong Chuchu shook her head. These still need to be considered in the long term. It is better to buy some firewood for now. It has been a bit cold in the middle of the night these days, so it is better to burn some firewood at home to keep warm.

"Wait a minute, how do you sell firewood?" Zhong Chuchu opened the door and shouted.

A man in his early thirties, carrying a bundle of firewood on his back, turned back when he heard someone shouting.

Seeing Zhong Chuchu, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Three cents a bundle." He shook the firewood on his back and said.

"Why has the price increased? Wasn't it two cents a bundle before?" Zhong Chuchu said.

"You said that was last year's price. Winter started early this year, and there was not enough firewood to sell, so the price has already increased. I cut a lot of firewood, at least more than eighty kilograms. Normally, it's only fifty kilograms per bundle." The man explained.

"Okay, I want it, you can help me carry it into the house." Zhong Chuchu thought for a while and said.

"Oh, okay!" the man said cheerfully.

Zhong Chuchu took out three copper coins from her purse and paid the bill. Before leaving, she said hello to him: "Brother, will you come back to sell firewood tomorrow?"

The man put the coins into his bag and said, "If you don't go to the market tomorrow, I won't come." After a pause, he said, "If you want it, I'll bundle it up for you tomorrow."

Zhong Chuchu nodded, "Okay, you can send me another bundle tomorrow."

The man responded happily, where could such a good thing be found?

There are not many people in the town who need to buy firewood. The main reason is that Qingyan Town is close to Qixian Peak, so most people go to the mountain to chop it by themselves.

If others found out about her buying firewood, they would definitely accuse her of being a prodigal.

In the past, my predecessor would not waste this money, and men would give her more.

Zhong Chuchu separated the firewood and carried it into the kitchen. From today on, when cooking, she will burn some charcoal. In winter, she can put it in the house to burn.

In the room, Dabao was playing with the toys Zhong Chuchu bought for them, such as small wooden horses and puppies.

"Mom, can I take these toys to play with the second sister and the third sister?" Dabao asked innocently.
