Otherworldly Farmhouse

Seeing this brother's mother, Mother Chen suddenly slapped her son and shouted: "Cry, cry, you know how to cry, did I ask you to marry him back then, your father and brother and I disagreed that you married him?" Zhang Jiaqi, I said it earlier, with such a disrespectful Ah Mu, their family must have a hard time. If you don’t listen, you insist on marrying him. Now you are in exile for the rest of your life, and you still want to give birth to his child. You alone My brother can't support himself, how can he support a child."

Just when Mu Feng couldn't see it and was about to intervene, his brother's sister-in-law stopped Ah Mu, who hated iron but was about to teach his son a lesson, and said, "Stop beating my brother, this child If it’s gone, it’s gone. When you recover your body, we’ll tell you that your family background is clean. Then you will have a lovely child. Don’t cry. If your body breaks down from crying at this time, it will be difficult for you to have children in the future. Come on, let's go back to the house to take care of our health."

The honest farmer standing by the side smoking a pipe, suddenly opened his mouth and said to Mu Feng and the yamen servant: "It must be Zhang Jiahe, he saw me yesterday when I went to the town to buy a small coffin, even though he didn't ask anything at that time, Ah Mu you Go to the village and ask, has anyone seen Zhang Jiahe come to our village, has anyone seen him go to the mountain, my father and I didn't notice when we took the child to bury it. If the coffin was really dug up, then He must have followed us to the mountain, otherwise the place I found for the child is hidden and quiet, and it would be impossible for ordinary people to find it in a short time."

Mu Feng and the yamen servants were waiting in the yard, the brother's father had already gone up the mountain to check, his mother heard the eldest son's words, and hurried to the village to inquire.

Naturally, no one wanted to be involved in such a bad thing at first, but when people heard that someone dismembered a child, they all looked angry. There is no perfect medical skill in this world, who can guarantee that there is no one in their family? For dead babies, if all the children they buried were dug up and dismembered, it would be unacceptable. The person who did this must be caught and punished.

The mother of the Chen family soon found out that Zhang Jiahe had indeed been to their Chen family village. The population of the Chen family was larger than that of the surrounding villages, but the surnames in their village were more mixed, and there were all kinds of sex.Zhang Jiale's daughter-in-law is also from Chenjia Village, and Zhang Yan's Mu's family is also from Chenjia Village.

Zhang Jiahe went to see Zhang Jiale's daughter-in-law when he came back from town yesterday, because Zhang Jiale was punished by the government for speaking up for his brother, and it is said that he even sent some things there.Someone also saw Zhang Jiahe walking towards Madam Chen's house, but no one knew what happened afterwards.

Nanny Chen knew very well that Zhang Jiahe didn't come to the house yesterday. What happened at home yesterday, he was very worried about his son's death and life. He had been guarding his distraught son all day. He must know that Zhang Jiahe was coming, and it was very likely that Zhang Jiahe would come It was the time when the child's father sent the poor little grandson to the mountain.

Mu Feng discussed with the yamen servant, as long as the news from the mountain is correct, the person who will do the most important thing is undoubtedly Zhang Jiahe, how could the brother of the Chen family be willing to mutilate his own child.

The old man of the Chen family came back soon, his body was covered with grass leaves and mud, it was not difficult for Mu Feng and others to see that the old man of the Chen family must have fallen on the mountain, probably because he was worried that the little nephew who was buried would be desecrated.

Sure enough, the old man of the Chen family told his wife with a livid face that the child was gone, and the small coffin was dug out and smashed to pieces.The mutilated child that Mufeng said was probably their little grandson.

They were already guilty of this child, but now even the corpse has been desecrated. The Chen family is very angry and must find out the truth for them by the government and severely punish the evil person who hurt his little grandson's body.

Soon Mu Feng and the servant came to Zhang Jiahe's house. Zhang Jiahe was feeding his young son at that time. What happened, they didn't believe that Zhang Jiahe, who is usually quiet, could do this, let alone Zhang Jiahe didn't admit it.

In the end, Zhang Jiahe was escorted to the town by the yamen servants. In fact, as far as Mu Feng and the yamen servants knew, Zhang Jiahe was most likely the one who did the most serious work.After all, Zhang Jiale's daughter-in-law can't get out of bed now. According to the neighbors, the family didn't go out yesterday, and they don't know where Mu Feng's family lives.Zhang Yanmu's family hated Zhang Yan and his children, let alone avenge Zhang Yan.

As for Zhang Jiaqi's daughter-in-law, she just lost her child yesterday, and she couldn't even get out of bed, not to mention who is willing to dismember his own child, the person who can do such a thing must hate Mu Feng and Zhang Jiaqi's daughter-in-law very much. After sorting out these things, Zhang Jiahe is It is completely in line, and Zhangjiahefu's family has relatives in Tangjia Village, so it is easy to inquire about the situation of Mufeng's family.

At the beginning of the court, Zhang Jiahe didn't admit it at all, but when the government moved to understand it with affection and reason, it told Zhang Jiahe that you mutilated not only the child of Zhang Jiaqi's wife, but the child still had Zhang Jiaqi's blood, so you just dismembered the child. If it is dismembered, the child may not even have the chance to be reincarnated.

Zhang Jiahe was silent for a while after hearing these words, and finally started to cry. He scolded his mother, Mufeng and his father, and then scolded Zhang Jiaqi's daughter-in-law. His brother is not dead yet, their family For this daughter-in-law, she spent so much thought and spent several times more money than when others married a daughter-in-law, but the sister-in-law still knew how to say a few words for her elder brother.But he didn't think that his brother was still alive, and his little sister-in-law actually killed his brother's flesh and blood in her belly.

He hates, he resents, why is his Eminem like this, he knew about Eminem and his uncle when his father died, but Eminem married his current father again, after having a younger brother, he thought that Eminem I was able to settle down in the family, but in the end, Eminem still hooked up with his uncle. If Eminem listened to him, why would there be such a disaster today? If the brothers had even a little conscience, such evil things would never happen. Zhang Jiahe knew that it was all his mother's fault.

In view of the fact that this matter was too bad, and that the Chen family wanted to ask Zhang Jiahe for an explanation, the government finally sentenced Zhang Jiahe to [-] liang of money and paid six taels of silver, of which Mufeng and the Chen family each had three taels, and the Chen family was the compensation. Mufeng's side is naturally suppressing the shock. As for Zhang Jiahe, after the execution of the sentence, the husband's family will understand and educate him. If such a thing happens, the government will tell Zhang Jiahe's husband that he will definitely punish him severely.

Mu Feng didn't ask for the money, he accepted Zhang Jiahe's apology.He warned Zhang Jiahe that if Zhang Jiahe dared to do something wrong, he would have a lot of ways to kill Zhang Jiahe and his son-in-law, so Zhang Jiahe had better behave with his tail between his legs in the future, otherwise don't blame him for being ruthless.

Zhang Jiahe looked at Mu Feng's eyes like a hungry wolf, and thought of the youngest son in his family, and the husband who loved him so much despite his family's opposition.

In the end, he sighed softly, everything was Eminem's own fault, and he had tried his best.And he hurt his younger brother's child again. Thinking about it now, Zhang Jiahe feels sorry for the dead little nephew. The little sister-in-law has already hurt the child. The child didn't even open his eyes once. There is nothing wrong with him treating him like this. innocent child.He can no longer take care of Eminem's affairs in the future, and he can't hurt the most important people in the family because of Eminem's affairs.

After finding out the facts of the case and making a verdict on the case, the Yamen government announced their withdrawal from the court. Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and left the Yamen immediately to go home. The family must be fumigated with old camphor wood to get rid of evil spirits. Before Wen and the kids came back.

After Mu Feng returned home, he quickly took out the old camphor wood and lit it, smoked it in the yard of the house, and divided the old camphor wood into each room. Only after smoking it thoroughly, Mu Feng could feel at ease.

Tang Anwen got to know the teacher in the school, and he knew that the conditions of the children enrolled here are all good.Children also go to school around the age of seven or eight, and most of them come to study, and most people are not very willing to send their elders to study.

Of course, it's more because my brother grows up or someone else's idea, let my brother read and practice calligraphy, ordinary people don't want to waste this money.On the contrary, those who have a few pennies in their families are willing to send their children here to study and practice calligraphy.One can take the imperial examination, and the other is a child who is successful in studying. Not only can he make money, but he may also marry the brother of a wealthy family.

Of course, there are also a small number of families who are willing to send their brothers to study, hoping to marry high, but such people are still relatively few.

Tang Anwen thought that Douzi was only six years old, and Tang Guo would be five years old next year. He might as well wait a year for Tang Guo and his brother to come to study together. He asked the teacher, and the teacher told him that if the child is smart and can take care of himself, such as Eating and going to the latrine can be settled by yourself, and five-year-old children can also be sent over.

When he saw little Tang Guo hiding behind Tang Anwen, and looked at Tang Dou standing next to Tang Anwen, he said: "You want to send two children to study together, it's no problem to have a brother to take care of the five-year-old , you can just send it over when the time comes, these two children look quite well-behaved."

Tang Anwen thanked the teacher. Although the school was not very big, it was well organized and clean. Hearing the sound of a group of children shaking their heads and reading, Tang Anwen found it interesting. He planned to send two Children come to feel the atmosphere of the school, and they don't need to learn much, as long as they can distinguish right from wrong.

Leaving the school, Tang Anwen listened to the people talking on the street. He always felt as if he had overlooked something, but Tang Anwen didn't care, and took the two children home with Tang Xuan. Pibu wanted to ask Tang Anwen for help, but Tang Anwen expressed that he could do nothing, he bought a lot of things in his back basket, and even took time to hug the tired little Tangguo.

When Tang Anwen asked Tang Xuan if he would like to exchange, he helped Tang Xuan hold the cloth, and Tang Xuan helped him hold Xiao Tangguo.

Tang Xuan, who was foolishly holding two pieces of cloth upright, immediately wanted it. Holding two pieces of cloth, he really felt a bit stupid, and it was not as fun as holding Xiao Tangguo.

Tang Anwen was holding two pieces of cloth that were not very heavy, but Tang Xuan thought the way he was holding the cloth was quite eye-catching. Anyway, Tang Xuan felt that if he was holding it, he would look a little silly.

The group finally arrived at home before noon. Tang Anwen stood at the door of the house and looked at the yard very puzzled. Lin Zuo and Mu Feng were shaking wormwood dipped in water. He didn't understand what was going on. What the hell, first burned the straw at the door, and made a step of grass ashes.

Just when Tang Anwen was about to come in, Mu Feng shook Tang Anwen's body with wormwood water, and Tang Anwen avoided it again and again. Although it was already April, it was still chilly to sprinkle water on his body, especially if there were water droplets falling into it. When the collar.

Tang Anwen was furious and yelled loudly: "Mu Feng, what are you doing? It's very cold, okay? Come on, be careful and I'll clean you up at night."

Tang Xuan stood quietly at the door, cooperating very well with Lin Zuo's movements, allowing the cold water to fall on him. After Lin Zuo sprinkled the unlucky water, he turned sideways to let Tang Xuan in, and then gave two people who were dodging The little guy sprinkled some water to remove bad luck. Tang Dou avoided getting his clothes wet, but Tang Guo was very happy, and deliberately moved towards the wormwood. Lin Zuo rubbed the little guy's round head and pushed the little guy into the yard.

Tang Xuan laughed when he heard Tang Anwen's domineering threat: "Ah Wen, how do you clean up at night? Did you make Mu Feng kneel on the washboard, haha."

When Tang Anwen heard this, he thought to himself, this washboard is naturally for men to kneel, why should Mu Feng kneel? It’s my kneeling to take it, so it’s my Mufeng’s turn. Besides, my Mufeng is reluctant to let me kneel. Of course, the cleaning I’m talking about is the most gentle cleaning. Probably only you, who can’t do it, will be punished by Lin Zuo. Kneel on the washboard as punishment."

It's a matter of a man's dignity, Tang Xuan immediately stopped doing it after hearing Tang Anwen's words, and opened his mouth to retort: ​​"I can't do it, you can ask Lin Zuo, what's wrong with me, I must make Lin Zuo ecstasy every night. But it's just you The body also wants to clean up Mufeng, let me see if you can hug Mufeng first, I can hold Lin Zuo and run with great strides."

Tang Xuan's words directly choked Tang Anwen, hugging Mufeng, Tang Anwen never seemed to have thought about it, with his thin and muscular body, it would really be so much to hug Mufeng.

Seeing Tang Anwen staring at Mu Feng silently, Lin Zuo said with a smile: "Tang Xuan didn't have much strength before, just practice more. I believe you will be able to hold Mu Feng one day, but you don't know what Mu Feng is willing to do." I don't want to let you fall, I was thrown badly by Tang Xuan a few times, almost disfigured."

When Tang Anwen heard Lin Zuo's words, he immediately laughed and pointed at Tang Xuan, "You, you, you couldn't hold Lin Zuo in your arms, and you even threw him. Just wait for me. When I develop muscles, I will definitely be able to." Hugging can move Mufeng, and I will definitely not let Mufeng fall."

Since Lin Zuo said about Tang Xuan's disgrace, Tang Xuan became angry. Not only did he ignore Tang Anwen, but he even ignored Lin Zuo until Lin Zuo reacted and said something in Tang Xuan's ear Tang Xuan was only happy when he was with you at night. Lin Zuo rarely followed him, so Tang Xuan was still very happy about the benefits he got this time.

After laughing and making a fuss, Tang Anwen realized that there was something strange at home today. Mufeng actually ignited the old camphor wood again, especially this time, every house had it. Tang Anwen asked Mufeng what was going on, and Mufeng said Tang Anwen didn't think too much about sweeping away the bad luck. There are indeed these things in this world. If someone thinks there is bad luck in the family, they will do so, so Tang Anwen didn't care.

Tang Xuan gave Mu Feng the talisman he got from his husband, and asked Mu Feng to stick it behind the door, and asked Mu Feng to help Lin Zuo make some clothes that fit.In the past, the clothes of the two of them were ready-made clothes bought directly from the town, and the clothes didn't fit that well. Now that there is Mu Feng who can make clothes off-the-shelf, Tang Xuan naturally won't let it go. I have been wearing that kind of poor-quality coarse cloth ready-to-wear.

Mu Feng remembered asking Tang Anwen to ask his husband about moving to a new house. Tang Anwen said that seven days later, at noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, Mu Feng nodded and remembered it in his heart.

After this incident, Tang Anwen and their lives became stable again. Two days later, Luo Ling found two sculptors for Tang Anwen. The two were father and son. He said he could carve, and then he negotiated the price with them. The other party was willing to engrave Tang Anwen at a price of 25 coins a pair. Tang Anwen immediately made a decision with the other party, especially the other party was willing to leave a pair of engravings on site for Tang Anwen to inspect.

Tang Anwen asked Luo Ling what was going on, and he also asked about finding a master sculptor whose price was as low as [-] Wen, how could these two be willing to give such a low price.

Luo Ling told Tang Anwen that he had cured a child in the other party's family a few days ago, and the two were very grateful to him. After he mentioned the carving, they immediately agreed to help Tang Anwen carve the template at a very low price. No, he immediately Just bring it over to Tang Anwen.

Tang Anwen asked Mu Feng to watch, and he accompanied Luo Ling up the mountain. Of course, he had to find Lin Zuo and Tang Xuan to accompany him, otherwise Mu Feng would never let Tang Anwen go with confidence.

Now that the weather is getting warmer and the number of poisonous insects and snakes on the mountain is increasing, Tang Anwen will definitely not be able to cope with it, but Mu Feng himself has dealt with these poisonous insects and snakes since he was a child, because he is afraid of all kinds of insects, both poisonous and non-poisonous. In order to train his courage, Ah Mu taught Mu Feng how to deal with poisonous and non-poisonous insects, and all kinds of long worms, especially the people in their tribe are very popular in eating long worms and poisonous insects. quite understanding.

Tang Anwen followed Luo Ling, searched two mountains but couldn't find the silkworm flower that Luo Ling mentioned, he finally asked impatiently: "Luo Ling, what exactly are you looking for, can you explain it more clearly?" , What exactly does a silkworm flower look like, you can tell us clearly before we can help you find it.”

As Tang Anwen said, he carefully picked up the bugs that fell on his clothes, and threw them out. He was afraid that one of them would be crushed to death. Those disgusting things would not only stick to his clothes, but they might also stick to his fingers. I've had enough, when Tang Anwen didn't know how many bugs landed on his body, Tang Anwen was about to explode.

Seeing that Tang Anwen was about to have a fit, Luo Ling said, "I want to know, do I still need to search aimlessly like this? Cicada flowers are flowers growing on Cicada's head. This thing is very expensive. It costs ten cents a piece." Only, and the medicinal properties are also very good, compared with Cordyceps sinensis. I think if we can find it here, not only the price can be lowered, but also there is no need to go to the south to buy it. We can just dig it ourselves, and not only ordinary people can enjoy it The medicinal effects of the cicadas can also be used to dig some cicadas to increase the income of the farmers, and they cost ten renminbi each, and if you put five cicadas in one patch, then the cicadae alone will cost you fifty renminbi.”

Tang Anwen rolled his eyes, silkworm flower, cicada flower, golden cicada flower, didn't he know that there are flowers growing on his head? What kind of cicada flower and cicada flower did he use, which caused him to hear it as silkworm flower, a difference of a hundred thousand Eight thousand miles away.

Tang Anwen grabbed Luo Ling, who was going to continue walking, and said: "Let's go home, there is no need to search, you can't find cicada flowers in this mountain, and the time is not up yet, when the time comes, I will help you." You look for."

Luo Ling didn't react at first, he reflexively moved forward without Tang Anwen's hand, suddenly Luo Ling stopped, looked back at Tang Anwen with surprise and shouted: "Awen, is what you said true? Not now, when is that, tell me quickly, hurry up, I can’t wait any longer. I suffered a lot for this thing, and almost fell off a cliff. And what do you call it Cicada, Isn’t it called Cicada? Where did you know about this golden cicada?”

Tang Anwen was dizzy from Luo Ling's many questions, turned his head and said loudly: "Alias, do you know the alias? Not every place has the same name. Ah, I can't take it anymore, Tang Xuanlinzuo, let's leave this place quickly Damn place. Who is that, Tang Xuan, please help me to see if any bugs have fallen on my neck."

Tang Anwen quickly opened the collar on the back of his neck to show Tang Xuan and the others. He felt as if something was twisting around his neck, which felt very, very bad.

Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo didn't know what golden cicada flower Luo Ling and Tang Anwen were talking about. They didn't comment on it, as long as they ensured the safety of the two of them. It's more puzzling, maybe Tang Anwen has been unlucky recently, the bugs don't fall on them, the flying insects don't jump on them, but they keep falling and flying on Tang Anwen.

It wasn't until Tang Xuan helped Tang Anwen read it, picked up a leaf stalk from Tang Anwen's neck, that Tang Anwen twisted his neck and said: "I don't know where I read it, but I know this thing, Jin Cicadas, after May, will appear in bamboo forests, of course, in the taller bamboo forests, and will disappear until October. We will look for them in May, and now I will go home immediately. I want to take a bath. My whole body is itching to death, and I always feel like there are bugs crawling on my body.”

After hearing Tang Anwen's explanation, Luo Ling finally felt a big rock in his heart. He heard that the golden cicada flowers in the south cost only a penny each, but how come they cost ten pennies in the north, ten times the price, and ordinary people would buy it. If you are willing to eat such a tonic, if it costs a penny, everyone can buy some to eat and adjust your body.

When Tang Anwen returned home, Luo Ling was eager to bring the good news to his father. Once he entered Tang Anwen's house and said goodbye to Mu Feng, he immediately left with a basket on his back. Because there was a stranger in Tang Anwen's house, Lin Zuo didn't come over. Xuan ran over to pick up the two children to play, their place was too deserted, with two children staying, it was much more lively.

The sculptor father and son often whispered to each other for a while before starting to carve. In the end, both of them completed a relatively simple woodcut. Tang Anwen took it over to check and asked Mu Feng how he felt. Mu Feng said it felt good, and the two brought paper Ink, when the ink was brushed on the woodcut and pressed down on the paper, Tang Anwen took a brush and gently brushed the paper, and slowly lifted the paper, four people, eight pairs of eyes all looked at the painting on the paper.

Although it didn't feel as good as it was drawn, a picture did appear on the paper. Although the details still need to be improved, the effect is still good, at least it can be sold in large quantities, which makes Tang Anwen and Mu Feng very happy.

The two engraving masters were also very happy. After holding the first volume of stories that Tang Anwen gave them, they said goodbye to Tang Anwen and said that after engraving this book, they would come to get the other side of the story.And they will improve the defects in the drawing board, because the engraving today is in a hurry and the things are rough, so the effect is not good, and the engraving will be processed in the future to be more delicate, and I believe the effect will be better by then.

In the afternoon, the sky gradually turned gloomy, with the breath of thunderstorm coming, a dry thunder sounded in the sky, and the bean-sized raindrops fell, and when they hit the ground, they would raise dust, and when they fainted, a large piece of ground would be wet.

Tang Anwen looked at the increasingly dense raindrops outside the window and said worriedly: "Child Mufeng is okay with Tang Xuan."

Mu Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Ah Wen, Tang Xuan dotes on those two little guys more than we do. With Lin Zuo watching, nothing will happen. You have been sitting and drawing for so long, why don't you rest for a while? When it rains, it's a good time to sleep."

Tang Anwen nodded when he heard Mu Feng's words. He is a little sleepy today. He doesn't know why. He hasn't been sleeping well for the past two days. He keeps dreaming, but he can't remember what he dreamed at that time. Something was staring at him, making him uncomfortable.

Not long after Tang Anwen lay down, his brows gradually frowned, and it came again, and he heard the strange cry of a baby again. The cry gradually approached from a distance, and this time Tang Anwen finally saw what was crying, a baby, A baby whose arms and legs were separated and whose head had fallen off kept crying and crawling towards him.

Tang Anwen was not afraid, but when the thing gradually approached him, Tang Anwen didn't want the thing to crawl on him, he wanted to back off, after all everyone has the ability to avoid evil, but at that critical moment, Tang Anwen couldn't move anymore, he watched the baby keep approaching him, the dropped hand grabbed Tang Anwen's feet with a sticky feeling, and moved up bit by bit, Tang Anwen was covered in goose bumps, when the baby His head also moved to Tang Anwen's feet, seeing the baby opened its mouth wide and bit Tang Anwen's feet, Tang Anwen screamed, and finally felt scared.

At this moment, Tang Anwen felt a weight on his shoulders. He watched another little baby crawl out from behind him, and thought to himself that this is over. Could it be that the baby had a big party today, and he remembered what Mr. said a few days ago. Little man, is he going to be gnawed by a baby in his dream?

This little baby got up very fast, in the blink of an eye, in Tang Anwen's eyes, it was really just a blink of an eye, the little baby crawled over Tang Anwen's chest, Tang Anwen's waist, Tang Anwen's thigh, and directly to Tang Anwen's ankle superior.

The baby's head, which was about to bite Tang Anwen's feet, was kicked away by the little baby. Holding a wooden rattle in his hand, the baby kept beating on the baby's arm that was holding on to Tang Anwen's ankle.

The baby with the broken arms and legs was no match for the little baby who appeared later. I saw the little baby holding a small rattle in his hand, fiercely chasing the baby with the broken arms and legs and constantly attacking the baby with the broken arms and legs. Crying continuously, being attacked by the little baby retreated steadily and had no strength to fight back.
