Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

As Song Da and the other two learned to recognize more and more words, Zhang Wu also had a general idea of ​​what they were good at. In order to confirm this, Zhang Wu sent them many books during this period of time. There were books of all kinds, depending on what they liked to read.

Another half month passed, and there was no more case of plague in the city, and no more victims outside the city. The prefect ordered the city gates to be opened, and the people could finally enter and leave freely. However, people with non-local household registration would still be carefully questioned before being released, and anyone coming from the south would be arranged to be detained in the north of the city for two days, and could only go out if they were still healthy after two days.

A series of government decrees were issued, and the people all praised them.

For half a month, Zhang Wu went out early and came back late to visit Song Da and his friends, and Feng Ru was with him. After the city gate was opened, Zhang Wu took Huang Ying to the Huang family. He learned that they were planning to return to the village to farm. After discussing the date of their return, Zhang Wu went back and told Song Shiwei about it.

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow? Isn't that too hasty?"

"It's not bad. Now that the rain has stopped, many wastelands have become fertile. My father-in-law and his family want to go back to farm. Master, when are we going to move back? Or will we live in the city from now on?"

Song Shiwei glanced at him and asked, "Do you want to go back or stay in the city?"

Zhang Wuhan smiled and said, "Of course I want to go back to the village. The village has mountains and water, and the place is spacious. I won't be disturbed if I live at home. It's also convenient to buy things in the city. In terms of comfort, the village is better."

"Then go back. Help them move in the next few days. You can buy whatever they need in the city." Song Shiwei took out a small bag of grain seeds from the space and said, "These seeds were bought in the capital. You can give them to them. Since they want to farm, they should choose good seeds so that they can have a good harvest next year."

Zhang Wu accepted it solemnly: "Thank you, my lord. I will give it to my father-in-law tomorrow. I think he will be happy."

"Didn't Huang Ying come back with you today?"

Zhang Wu smiled and nodded: "It's been a month since I last saw my father-in-law and his family. I'll let her rest there for a day and have a good talk with my mother-in-law. I'll pick her up tomorrow."

"Okay, what are your plans for Song Da?"

Zhang Wu pondered for a moment and said, "It's still the same as before. I will come to the city to look for them every three days. Now they know more and more characters, and they will spend an hour practicing calligraphy every day. If there is any news in the future, they can write it down and bring it to the master."

"During this period, I have noticed that they all have their own strengths. Song Da is a good student and can draw inferences from one instance. Song San is also a good student and is a down-to-earth and hardworking person. I have also discovered that this kid likes to read medical books. He has been reading a medical book he found in a bookstore all day long. I think he is very interested in studying medicine."

Song Shiwei's eyebrows moved, and he looked at him with a smile: "I mentioned Song Da and Song San, what about Song Er? I remember you seemed to like him very much."

Zhang Wu's smile widened. "This child is smart and knows how to read people's expressions. Although he is not as gifted as the other two in reading, at least he can recognize all the characters. I think he has the potential to learn martial arts, so I plan to teach him some self-defense moves. As for how far he can go in the future, it all depends on him."

"You have a good eye. The three people you chose have their own strengths. Since Song Da is able to study, let him study. Find an opportunity to send him to a college. If he can take the imperial examination in the future, that will be his chance. As for Song San, he is interested in studying medicine. Let's see how he performs first. If he really has talent in this area, send him to help Doctor Xu."

Zhang Wu was happy for the three children because they were given face. However, he remembered that his master had not mentioned Song Er, so he asked, "What about Song Er?"

"Didn't you say he was a good martial artist? You should be responsible for that."

Zhang Wu suppressed his surprise and asked tentatively, "Master, do you want me to take him as your apprentice?"

Song Shiwei did not answer, but asked: "Don't you want to accept a disciple?"

"I have never accepted a disciple, let alone thought about accepting one, for fear of misleading the students."

"It's too early to say this now. Let's see how they perform first. It's not too late to make a decision once you've thought it through. But one thing is, I won't give them benefits for nothing. If they want to take my last name, they have to show their sincerity."

Zhang Wu immediately understood: "Master, rest assured, I am not someone who will give you benefits for nothing. After all, they are just helping us to get some information. If you really want to follow us, you should take the loyalty pill. Rather than just saying nice things, I think taking the pill is the only way to solve the problem once and for all."

Song Shiwei nodded with satisfaction: "I am not a kind person. If you want to get something from me, you have to pay first, otherwise everything is in vain."

After the Huang family moved back to the village, Huang Hai delivered the key to the house and asked about Song Shiwei and the others' plans. When he learned that they were also going to move back to the village, he asked for the date and was ready to come and help with the move, but was rejected by Song Shiwei.

Five days after the Huang family moved back to the village, the weather was clear that day, and the long-lost sun was high in the clouds. Song Shiwei got up early for a rare occasion. Thinking that he would be returning to the village soon, he asked Zhang Wu to prepare the carriage, bought a lot of snacks and cakes on the street, and took a few people out for an outing.

It had been a while since they had gone out to eat, drink and have fun, Feng Ru was so happy that she danced with joy, and even Zhang Wu and Huang Ying were in high spirits.

The carriage rushed all the way to the suburbs and finally stopped at a river.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here. Sister Song, look over there," Feng Ru shouted excitedly, pointing at the weeping willows by the river.

A breeze blew, willow branches fluttered in the wind, the river was crystal clear and if you looked closely you could see small fish swimming around. The scenery was indeed pleasant.

Zhang Wu deftly took out a thick cloth from the carriage and spread it on the grass, then placed the cakes and snacks one by one.

After admiring the scenery, Song Shiwei came over and waved his hand, and several water bags appeared on the ground. They were filled with drinks that he had bought in the capital. They were very refreshing to drink with snacks.

Huang Ying, who was standing diagonally opposite Song Shiwei, was stunned when she saw something appearing out of thin air in broad daylight. She stared at the calm Song Shiwei with wide eyes, and then turned to look at Zhang Wu and Feng Ru who were calm and indifferent. She felt like she was dreaming.

Huang Ying had an expression of "Who am I? Where am I?", and finally it was not until Zhang Wu walked up to her and called her that she came back to her senses.

Huang Ying still couldn't believe it and rubbed her eyes: "Just...did you see it just now?"

Zhang Wu laughed: "Of course I saw it, what's the matter?"

"What's wrong? Do you have to act like you're used to it? Shi Wei...she just waved her hand and something came out, and you..."

"You'll get used to it slowly. Ru'er and I were just as surprised as you at first, but we got used to it after seeing it a few times," Zhang Wu interrupted her and took her a few steps to the side. "The master's methods are unpredictable. I told you before. Otherwise, why would we take the pill? It's because we're afraid that the master's methods would be known to others and cause trouble."

Huang Ying was shocked, and after calming down for a while, she spoke: "No wonder."

"So you'll get used to it in the future. Come over and have some snacks. I've prepared your favorite osmanthus cake."

"it is good."
