Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 93

The county magistrate of Luoshui Town is a somewhat stupid official. Several towns close to Luoshui Town have implemented martial law early on, strictly controlling the entry and exit of refugees, but it was Luoshui Town's turn because of his carelessness, until the situation was out of control. It was only then that I began to think of martial law in the whole city.In order to protect the interests of the residents in the city, he mobilized the yamen servants to drive out those vagrants. He was really smart and resolutely refused to arrest a single person in order to save food.

The expelled refugees scattered to various villages. Although they knew that Luoshui Town was affected by the disaster, they were already tired and hungry, and they had no ability to go on their way.And they also know that no matter where they go, they are unwelcome people, so why not just stay here, eat and drink enough to save enough energy to leave a life and talk about other things.

They all thought clearly, but they suffered from the surrounding villages. Although they were affected by the disaster, the kind-hearted villagers would give them some food at the beginning because they couldn't bear it.But with the passage of time, these refugees who have tasted the benefits actually set up some sheds at the head of the village to live. After Ken helps them, they start by stealing until it becomes a burglary.

At this time, the benefits of the Fang family's tall courtyard walls and heavy courtyard gates suddenly became apparent. Those who laughed at the Fang family's money and nowhere to spend it began to sigh with emotion. When it was in danger, only the Fang family members were still at home leisurely, without worrying about someone rushing in.

After the second family in the village was also robbed by refugees, the village head of Lijiagou finally stepped forward and organized each household to contribute to build a self-defense team of villagers.Of course, Fang Dachuan was very much in favor of it. There is no end to the nest. If the Lijiagou was really robbed, then his family and the Landlord Li's family would definitely not be able to escape.

Since Fang Dachuan joined the patrol team, Wen Yue began to worry every day again. Every day after Fang Dachuan went out, she began to worry, for fear that they would have conflicts with those hungry refugees and that he would be injured.After going out for inspections for several days, Fang Dachuan always returned safely every day, and Wen Yue gradually became less nervous.Until one day when she saw Fang Dachuan, who was patrolling during the day, and Ge Dong came back with blood on his body at noon, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

He hurriedly rushed to Fang Dachuan, grabbed him and groped up and down for a long time. After seeing that he was not injured, he was relieved: "What's wrong? Why is there blood?"

Fang Dachuan didn't move until Wen Yue confirmed that everything was as usual, and comforted him: "I'm fine, it's not my blood, don't be afraid."

He said to Ge Dong again: "Go back and tidy up first, and change your clothes too."

"What's going on?" After Ge Dong left, Wen Yue pulled Fang Dachuan back into the house, and asked while busy finding him a change of clothes.

Fang Dachuan sat down the busy Wen Yue on the stool and said: "Today, a few people walked into Li San's house at the entrance of the village. We happened to walk there. We just wanted to drive them away, but we didn't expect those people to take them away. The sticks and rocks rushed up. Don't say it, they are really strong after being hungry for so long, so the bark and grass roots are also very nourishing." In order not to make Wen Yue too nervous, Fang Dachuan Trying to lighten up the atmosphere, he made a joke that wasn't funny.

"You still have the mind to make this joke. You almost scared me to death. Fortunately, you are fine." After hearing Fang Dachuan's words, Wen Yue's heart was beating non-stop. Seeing Fang Dachuan's casual look , complained.

Seeing that Wen Yue was angry, Fang Dachuan coaxed her and said, "I don't want you to worry."

"How can I not be worried? People are starving and can't do anything. What are those officials thinking? When will they all go back to their hometowns? It's so annoying."

When the danger involved her relatives, Wen Yue's petty thoughts erupted again, and her resentment rose to the sky. She really couldn't sympathize with these refugees who made her life uneasy.

Maybe one day, when she encounters such a thing, she may also become such an annoying existence in the escape. She should be more tolerant of others, but now when she thinks of the dangers Fang Dachuan has to bear every day, she just At this time, there is no way to understand and be considerate.

"Don't worry, I guess they won't be able to stay for long. It's going to be cold this day. They can't sleep outside in winter." Fang Dachuan said confidently.

Wen Yue replied helplessly: "I can only think this way. After all, the government is still not doing enough."

"What did you say? What house?" Fang Dachuan couldn't hear what Wenyue was muttering, so he had to ask again.

After Wen Yue finished speaking, she realized that she had coined another "new word", and quickly shook her head and said, "It's nothing, you can rest for a while, I'll boil some water for a while and you wash it off, you are all stinky."

"Does it stink? Then I will smoke Man'er." Fang Dachuan said with a smile when he saw Man'er just walked in.

When Man'er heard this, she immediately pinched her nose tightly with her small hands, and tried hard to get out of Fang Dachuan's embrace, "No, daddy is good or bad, go and wash Xiangxiang."

Fang Dachuan was teased by Man'er, and he deliberately rubbed his face on her body and said, "Okay, now Daddy has passed all the stink to Man'er, and the fragrance of Man'er has gone to Daddy. Well, smell it." Fang Dachuan deliberately sniffed Man'er, wrinkled his nose and said, "It's really cool!"

"Father!" Man'er yelled, and Fang Dachuan laughed.

"Yue Niang, I want to take Ge Dong to the mountains tomorrow to see if I can catch any game." After taking a bath, Fang Dachuan sat comfortably on the bed, letting Wen Yue rub his hair.

"Why do you want to go into the mountains? There are all refugees outside, and there is probably nothing to hunt on the mountains." Wen Yue stretched out her fingers, and gently rubbed Fang Dachuan's temples.

"The family hasn't eaten meat for a few days. How can we just eat fish? Don't you think our whole body has lost weight?" Fang Dachuan said distressedly.

"Thin?!" Wen Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Fang Dachuan, jokingly said: "You can't do this, we have such a small fleshy face, how can we lose weight? I supervise her every day to eat less, just want her to be thinner , if she can really lose weight, I will be thankful!"

"Children, it's better to be fatter. I have never understood why you have to let the child lose some weight? Our Man'er looks so good now, beautiful and cute, and strong, so many people are envious!" For Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue, the point of view that they can't agree on so far is only on Man'er's figure.

From the perspective of women who love beauty, Wen Yue hopes that Man'er can be thinner, so as not to become a fat girl in the future.But Fang Dachuan felt that his daughter was good no matter what, why did he and Wen Yue work so hard to make money, wasn't it just for the children to live a good life?It's so easy to have a good life, but not let the children have enough to eat. What's the reason?
"It's not that I won't let her eat it. She's still young and her flesh is still cute. If she grows up in the future, she'll be fat. If she won't be able to marry because of her fatness, it will be the two of us who will be worried." It's gone." Wen Yue said with a wry smile.

"You!" Fang Dachuan patted Wen Yue's hand and said, "If we can't get married, we will keep her, what a big deal."

When Wen Yue heard Fang Dachuan's childish words, she "huh" him and said, "Just talk nonsense, you can still support her for a lifetime, she is really left at home, you must be more worried than anyone else."

"No matter what, anyway, if my girl wants to eat, I have to let her eat. Tomorrow, I will go to the mountains with Ge Dong. Even if it's not for the sake of the child, I will improve you and your mother." Fang Dachuan said to him After that, Wenyue still wanted to speak, so she simply pulled Wenyue into her arms, and swallowed all the words Wenyue didn't say with her mouth.

Hearing that Fang Dachuan was going to enter the mountains, Man'er was the happiest person. She sent Fang Dachuan out of the outer gate all the way, and shouted to Fang Dachuan who had gone far: "Father, I want to eat chicken legs. We must catch a pheasant and bring it back!"

"Brother, brother, do you want to drink chicken soup? The chicken soup cooked by grandma is delicious. When dad comes back, we will have soup to drink. Mother said that chicken soup is very nutritious. You can drink more to improve your health." Great, I can grow up soon." After Fang Dachuan left, Man'er stayed by the side of the two younger brothers, talking non-stop.

Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing, "Oh, we Man'er are sensible, I want to drink chicken soup so much and I also want to share some with my younger brothers, what a good sister."

Wen Yue also looked at Man'er with a smile. She rejoiced more than once that her first child was a daughter. If it was a son, she might not be so caring and sensible.

"Oh, don't look at me, my brothers have eaten their feet again." Seeing that Wen Yue was really looking at her, Man'er was a little embarrassed, and deliberately changed the subject.

Five-month-old Xiqing and Xiren are working hard to learn to turn over and then turn back by themselves. The so-called turning over three times, sitting six times and crawling seven times, but according to Wen Yue's observation, the two children can sit by themselves at six months. possible.When the two of them were born, their weight was much lower than that of Man'er, and correspondingly, their physiques were also weaker.

It is also because Man'er has always cared about his younger brother's body after hearing Wen Yue said about it, even more worried than Wen Yue. When it is cloudy, he clamors to add clothes to his younger brother, and when it is hot, he says he wants to add clothes to his younger brother. Take more baths, and transfer Wen Yue's process of taking care of her to the two children.It is also because of this that she said that letting her younger brothers drink nutritious chicken soup made Wen Yue very pleased. She only hoped that when they grow up, the relationship between siblings will always be so good.

After waiting for a long time, Fang Dachuan and Ge Dong finally rushed back before evening, but what they brought back was not only wild game, but also a pale, comatose boy.

"What's the matter? Whose child is it?" I'm not in a hurry to be happy that Fang Dachuan and Ge Dong brought back so many prey, Ge Shi and Niu Shi stepped forward to take the boy from Fang Dachuan's back, Find a room to settle him down.

Fang Dachuan didn't answer Li's question right away, but instead told Wen Yue, "Yue Niang, this child has a fever, is there any medicine at home?"

"Yes, there are more." At the beginning of the refugee incident, Wen Yue went to the town to grab some commonly used medicines for emergencies.

"Then go and cook it for this kid to drink." Fang Dachuan said worriedly seeing the boy's weakness.

Wen Yue nodded and said: "Okay, I see, I will make arrangements, you and Ge Dong go and change the dirty clothes first."

The boy Fang Dachuan brought back really kept Wen Yue and the others busy for a while, after they wiped the boy's body and gave him medicine.Wen Yue touched his hot forehead, fearing that he would burn out his brain, so she took some white wine and wiped his body for him.

The boy is about seven or eight years old, and the material of the moon-white clothes on his body is extremely exquisite, and the material of the jade pendant hanging on his waist is not vulgar. It is definitely not something that ordinary children can have. A child of a wealthy family, where did Fang Dachuan find him?

When Fang Dachuan came again, the child's body temperature had slowly dropped, "Dachuan, what's going on, who is this child?"

Fang Dachuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, Ge Dong and I hunted a lot of things on the mountain, and we were going down the mountain happily. I saw him lying in the grass halfway up the mountain. I saw him so little A child is seriously ill again, and there is no one around, so it’s not good to let him die there, so I brought him back.”

After the child fell into a coma all night, he finally woke up the next morning, but no matter how Wen Yue and the others asked him, he just kept silent, and the defensive look in his eyes was particularly obvious.

Fang Dachuan guessed that the child must have encountered some kind of hardship, which is why he behaved like this. Since he was rescued and returned, it is also a kind of fate, and there is no burden for the family to raise another child.So they stopped pressing him about his origins, trying to use their concern to dispel the defensive look in the child's eyes as much as possible.

It's just that things are not as simple as they imagined. Six or seven days have passed, and the child's body has fully recovered under their careful care, but his psychological condition has not changed at all, and his defense is still so strong .

That night, Man'er, taking advantage of the fact that there were no adults around, quietly left the house and walked up and down to the room where the boy lived, thinking triumphantly, "Don't let me see my little brother, huh , I secretly came to see him myself.

"Who?" When Man'er forcefully pushed open the door and quietly poked her little head into the room to look around, she heard an unfriendly voice coming from the dark room.

"Brother, is that you? Where are you, the room is so dark, I can't see you." Man'er looked around, the room was too dark, she was a little afraid to go in
Man'er waited and waited at the door, but the room was still pitch black, "Little brother, can't you light a lamp? Don't you have candles in your room? I want to go in coldly, but your room is dark, and I'm scared." There was a hint of crying in the trembling voice, and the short legs had already started to move backwards.

When Ke Jinyu lit the candles in the house and looked out the door, what caught his eyes was a pair of round eyes that were already glistening with tears, no, not only the eyes, but the face was also round, and the small red mouth was also round Yes, it reminds him of the big red apple he ate.

Man'er saw that the light was on in the room, and the tears that hadn't dried up hung on her face, but a big smile broke out on the corner of her mouth, "Little brother, you look so beautiful."

Ke Jinyu has always hated others saying that he is beautiful. In his opinion, this word used to describe a woman is put on him, which is demeaning to him. There is no way to refute it like before.Turning around awkwardly, ignoring Man'er at the door and sitting back on the kang.

Man'er didn't seem to notice Ke Jinyu's indifference. She caught up with him in a few steps, supported the Kang and tried hard to climb up, but she couldn't climb up because she was so small, there was no way, She could only look at Ke Jinyu helplessly and said, "Beautiful brother, can you give me a hand?"

The fleshy little hands kept shaking in front of his eyes, and Ke Jinyu suddenly discovered that the little girl's hands were also so round. Ke Jinyu couldn't help but carefully looked at Man'er, wanting to see where she was not round. of. "Beautiful brother, beautiful brother!"

Man'er thought that Ke Jinyu didn't hear her, so she yelled twice, and Ke Jinyu finally reached out and hugged her onto the kang.Ke Jinyu was a little worried that Man'er would fall to the ground, so when he carried her to the kang, he put her on the kang.Man'er rolled her eyes a few times, and crawled to the edge of the kang a little clumsily, imitating Ke Jinyu's appearance, and put her legs outside.

Sitting next to Ke Jinyu for a while, Man'er realized Ke Jinyu's indifference. In order to attract his attention, Man'er deliberately shook a pair of short legs back and forth, "Beautiful brother, what do you think I am doing? Fun."

"Boring!" Ke Jinyu said without losing face.

Seeing that her strategy hadn't succeeded, Man'er was a little discouraged, and sat quietly on the side, not knowing what to say for the first time, so she could only quietly look at Ke Jinyu.After a long time, she couldn't bear such a dull atmosphere and said again: "Little brother, what are you looking at? Do you think the moon is beautiful too? I also like the moon. My mother told me that there are moons on the moon. A beautiful fairy sister, she has a snow-white little rabbit to accompany her, oh yes, there is also a big sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

Brother, have you ever seen an osmanthus tree?I have never seen it before. My mother said that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree is in bloom and can make delicious osmanthus sauce. It’s just that we don’t have this kind of tree here in Luoshui, but my father has promised me that he will go to the south in the future. Bring me back the sapling of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and then I will treat you to sweet osmanthus sauce, okay? "

Man'er, who opened the chatter box, talked endlessly, and her divergent thinking made her think of where to say. The waxy child's voice seemed to have a relaxing magic power. Ke Jinxian, who has been pressed by a heavy stone these days, forgot for the first time After getting rid of the lingering haze in his heart, he had a little desire to confide in him.Maybe it's because he understands that this little girl won't understand what he's saying at all, and this kind of cognition makes him very relieved, "I'm looking at my mother."

Man'er let out a "wow", looked at Ke Jin adoringly and asked: "Beautiful brother, your mother is so amazing, she even went to the moon! She can fly, is she also a fairy?"

Ke Jinxian shook his head desolately and said: "No, my mother is no longer here, but she told me that she will turn into a star in the sky after death and will always protect me."

"What your mother said is wrong!" Man'er suddenly said excitedly, what the beautiful brother said was wrong, that's not what mother said.
