Wear to the Ming Dynasty to farm

After the turmoil, the village returned to its former calm.

More than ten days later, when the weather was hot and slack, a wedding sedan chair was brought to the door of Cuihua's house, and all the villagers gathered around to watch the excitement.Cuihua's family has been preparing for their marriage these days, and Qiao Jiwei is also busy with various miscellaneous affairs. It is only today that they know the news of Cuihua's marriage.

He pushed aside the crowd and glanced at the bride who was wearing a red hijab and walked into the sedan chair, thinking that he didn't prepare any gifts for Cuihua, which seemed unreasonable.After all, during this year's relationship, he really regarded Cuihua as a friend.

As soon as the sedan chair sent by her husband's family was lifted away, crackling firecrackers sounded at the door of Cuihua's house, and all the villagers walked into the courtyard of Cuihua's house to congratulate Cuihua's parents.Qiao Jiwei backed away silently, then turned around.

The horn was sounding beside the sedan chair, getting farther and farther away.The car body and the green field seem to blend together, and the red and green alternates, making it more festive.Mother Qian and Fei Cui were standing in front of their courtyard, looking at the sedan chair that was getting smaller and smaller in the distance.

Qian Muyu gave Fei Cui a serious look, "If you want to marry in the future, you have to find a husband who is not so filial to your parents. If his parents are dead, it will be the best."

Fei Cui was puzzled, "Is it okay to be filial to your parents?"

Mother Qian smiled wryly, "You are still too young, but every girl's family has to go through this, so why should I bother with this business?"

After listening to Qian's mother's words, Fei Cui frowned, "At worst, I won't marry for the rest of my life, so I can be happy."

Mother Qian's eyes widened in shock, "Who will a woman rely on in her life if she doesn't marry? Hey, your idea is really scary. Don't say such crazy things in the future."

But Jade looked serious, "I really think so."

In the blink of an eye, it was approaching the Ghost Festival, so Mother Qian found Qiao Jiwei and sat behind Qiao Jiwei, "It's been half a year since Dayong left, shouldn't it be time to come back? Every day, I'm still making trouble." I'm sorry. Something happened to Dayong, right?"

In fact, Qiao Jiwei was also very anxious. By this time, the caravan had naturally traveled a long way, so it should have arrived anyway.But he still comforted Qian's mother first: "The caravans always walk on the road, and usually they don't encounter any thieves. Maybe they are delayed by something on the way."

Having said that, Qiao Jiwei hired a carriage to the county seat the next day, and stayed on the streets of the county seat for the next few days.Qiao Jiwei greeted acquaintances eagerly.Although he looked calm on the surface, he felt a little bad in his heart.Hope the caravan did not encounter any accidents on the road.

A few days passed, but Qiao Jiwei hadn't waited for anyone.

One day, Qiao Jiwei was at a wonton stand on the side of the road, when he saw a horse team walking down the street from a distance.The leader is Mr. Huo.

Qiao Jiwei put the wonton bowl and five cents of wonton money on the table and ran towards the caravan.Mr. Huo also saw Qiao Jiwei at this time, and immediately smiled, "Ji Wei, have you been waiting here so early?"

When he got closer, Qiao Jiwei didn't see Qian Dayong.Zhu Dahu and the two youths from the same village were in the carriage, but Qian Dayong could not be seen.

Qiao Jiwei couldn't help being suspicious, "Where is Dayong?"

Huo Sanye's face showed embarrassment, "You get in the car first, and I will tell you slowly."

Seeing Mr. Huo's face, Qiao Jiwei suddenly felt bad, "What's wrong with Yong?"

Mr. Huo patted his hand to comfort him, "Don't worry, he's doing well in the south."

"Why is he stranded in the South?"

Mr. Huo said, "Just when we were going back in early May, we suddenly met a master Zhu. This master seemed to be attracted by a young man surnamed Huang who was traveling with us. Then Dayong They were detained. There were so many of them, and the government also drove us away, so we had no choice but to drive back.”

"The master whose surname is Zhu?" Qiao Jiwei felt more and more strange the more he heard it. He said that this master and Qian Dayong were not related, so why did he keep Dayong for no reason. "Did Dayong make him unhappy over there?"

Mr. Huo shook his head, "No. But the strangest thing is the one named Huang. He got along well with Dayong all the way, and we didn't take any precautions against him. But it was the people he found who kept Dayong behind. .”

Qiao Jiwei's eyes flashed, and his voice became trembling, "Is his name Huang Yuntian?"

"Yes, yes, his name is Huang Yuntian, how do you know?"

"He had lived in our village before." Qiao Jiwei explained.

He narrowed his eyes slightly in a thoughtful manner.He didn't notice Huang Yuntian's abnormal behavior before, but now that he thinks about it, he deeply feels that he came here with a purpose.But for what purpose?Qiao Jiwei couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

Along the way, Mr. Huo showed him all kinds of vegetables shipped from the south. "Dayong found these dishes. We planned to turn back when we went to Xiangxi, but Dayong insisted on going south and found these vegetables in Yunnan. When he returned to Luoyang, he was detained. come down."

He first showed Qiao Jiwei the seeds in the bag, "This kind of thing is called foreign persimmon, and southerners have started to eat them. Because this kind of thing is easy to rot, so we only brought the seeds back." The so-called foreign persimmons are tomatoes, It probably came from outside, and the southerners gave it a local name.

Then came the dried peppers. He grabbed a few handfuls and showed Qiao Jiwei. "It would be nice to plant the seeds inside to bloom. I tasted it on the way, and it was so spicy."

Then he showed Qiao Jiwei sweet potatoes...

But along the way, Qiao Jiwei kept thinking about the reason why Qian Dayong was left in Luoyang, and he couldn't listen to the introduction given to him by Mr. Huo.Qiao Jiwei has not responded, but Mr. Huo is not annoyed.

At this time, there were no clouds in the sky, and the scorching sun made the ground seem to be steaming. The green leaves on the tall trees far away in the field were all wilted. Everyone couldn't bear the hot sun, so they picked up fans to fan the wind.However, Qiao Jiwei didn't seem to feel the scorching sun, and kept thinking, with a little sweat on his forehead.

The caravan stopped all the way in front of Qian's house.Qian's mother heard the momentum running out of the courtyard, but Qian Dayong was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's my Dayong?" She asked anxiously.

Mr. Huo told Qian's mother what he had just told Qiao Jiwei.

After listening to Qian's mother, she was so anxious that she slapped her thighs with her hands, tears were about to flow out.

Just now Qiao Jiwei was walking absent-mindedly with his head down, when Qian's mother grabbed Qiao Jiwei's lapel and patted him on the back. "The disaster was all caused by you. Why do you have to let Dayong go to the south? Are you satisfied now?"

Then he pointed to the caravan, "Tell me, did you kill Dayong on the way, why are you so cruel? Your ancestors have been despicable for eight lifetimes."

Hearing Qian's mother's groundless accusation, Mr. Huo hurriedly spread his hands, "It's our responsibility to lose people, but what you said is too much. If we want to kill our money, why don't we The other three were also killed? How dare we go this way? You have to tell us about it.”

Qiao Jiwei stood on the steps of the gate, looking at the caravan, "Come in and have a meal first."

Fei Cui quietly walked out of the gate and pulled Qian's mother into the pot room, because there were guests present, Qian's mother was not as impulsive as before, and she stopped making trouble, and she was free to help Fei Cui in the pot room, and he was naturally not willing to give food to the caravan made.

Qiao Jiwei entertained the guests at the dinner table, and he was not as enthusiastic as before.After all, Qian Dayong followed the caravan to Luoyang and was forced to stay behind. No matter how the caravan was involved, he couldn't get rid of it.Since these incidents happened, Qiao Jiwei could also see that Mr. Huo did have some leadership skills, but his adaptability was not enough to get along in the road, and naturally he was not good at dealing with strangers.

The meals were brought to the table, including boiled carp and braised chicken, which was much richer than the last few times.But the people in the caravan felt tasteless after eating these meals, and they were about [-]% full after eating, so they hurried on the road.

Zhu Dahu was the last one to leave. He patted Qiao Jiwei on the shoulder and said with a relieved smile: "Don't worry, I was also there that day. I saw Master Zhu look at Dayong as if he were looking at his own son. Dayongji people have their own Tian Xiang, maybe he has already joined a rich family as the young master."

Qiao Jiwei nodded, "But I'm still worried."

Taking advantage of the caravan's departure, Mother Qian pulled Qiao Jiwei aside, her tone sounded like an order, "Go to the south and find Dayong the next day. He'll get it back." After she finished speaking, she finally couldn't help it, her cheeks filled with tears.

To be honest, Qiao Jiwei was extremely depressed at the moment, but he didn't show it easily.He immediately followed Qian's mother's advice: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."

It just so happened that Qian Dayong's uncle came back a few days ago and was leaving for Luoyang the day after tomorrow.It happened that he could follow him to find Qian Dayong.If Qian Dayong can't find him, if he finds Huang Yuntian, he has to pry Qian Dayong's whereabouts out of his mouth.

Qiao Jiwei immediately packed up his luggage.Before entering the bedroom, he casually glanced at the tomato seeds and red peppers, but his heart was not touched much.Now that people are gone, what's the use of getting this kind of thing.

The next morning, as soon as the dew fell, Qiao Jiwei was carried to the entrance of the village with his bags on his back.From a distance, he saw a tall and straight figure approaching, it was Huang Yuntian.
