[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral

"Ah Wen, put out the fire on the quilt." Zhang Zirui was panting, he felt like he couldn't breathe.

Wen Qiwen, who stood aside and coughed fiercely, obediently lifted the quilt, slapped the ground a few times, and put out the fire.However, the top layer of quilts had been burnt, and only two thinner quilts were still usable.At this time, he was still a little scared, if it wasn't for Brother Rui, he didn't know what to do just now.

Zhang Zirui took a break and looked around.At this time, the sky above the Zhang family was already illuminated by fire, billowing thick smoke continued to rise into the sky, and the Zhang family was already a sea of ​​flames.

"Bring a usable quilt and let's go." Zhang Zirui recovered his breath, and dragged Wen Qiwen along the route he remembered, stumbling away.Wen Qiwen let him pull, and dragged the quilt with the other hand.

Other than the Zhang family, someone has already discovered the fire in the Zhang family.

"It's not good, it's out of water." With a loud cry, candles lit up on the dark street.

"It's on fire, everyone put out the fire~~"

After a while, a gong beating, accompanied by a fire warning, resounded throughout the town.People in the town got up one after another, and rushed to put out the fire with buckets or basins.These days, most of our houses are made of flammable wood. If someone's house catches fire, it may affect the neighbors.If it is not extinguished in time, it is estimated that it will burn farther.

Outside the gate of Zhang's house, there were people rushing to put out the fire.Seeing that the door of the Zhang family was locked from the outside, everyone hesitated for a moment.A gust of wind blew sparks out of Zhang's courtyard and ignited a house across the street.

Finally, someone stepped forward and broke the lock on the door with an axe.

"Ah~~" The moment the door opened, the crowd was stunned, and there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

Behind the gate of the Zhang family lay a dead body with many stab wounds. The ground around him was already stained red with blood. That person should be the doorman of the Zhang family.

"Grandma, I'm still afraid of a ball at this time, everyone quickly follow me to put out the fire, otherwise everyone around will suffer."

Seeing that everyone was not moving, a strong man spoke anxiously and took the lead into Zhang's house.Then the brave man followed him in to fight the fire.And the timid one can only wander around to extinguish the surrounding flames.

Zhang Zirui didn't dare to go through the front door, so he took Wen Qiwen to the back door.Along the way, they encountered a servant of the Zhang family who died in a miserable state.Wen Qiwen's face turned pale with fright, he tightly held Zhang Zirui's hand, trying to resist the surging nausea.

And Zhang Zirui, who was already close to the limit, no longer had the heart to care about his feelings.His actions became more and more difficult, and the desire to escape in full screen supported him.

They arrived at the back door, which led to a porch, which was already on fire.The two put on quilts and rushed to the door in a thrilling manner, only to find that the back door was locked from the outside.Reluctantly, Zhang Zirui could only take Wen Qiwen towards the gate, and the two quilts were also destroyed to the point of being unusable.

Fortunately, they were lucky this time. When they approached the gate, they could already hear the noisy sound of firefighting. The area near the hall was already chaotic, and many people were busy fighting the fire.

Zhang Zirui was already in a trance at this time, and there was only one thought in his mind to escape, to escape.Ignoring everything around him, he pulled Wen Qiwen and ran out of the chaotic crowd.After leaving the crowd, he knew that the danger was gone, and he couldn't hold on any longer. His body went limp and he fell to the ground.

"Brother Rui~~" Wen Qiwen was terrified, he squatted on the ground hurriedly, checked his breath, and was relieved to see that he was still alive.

In the dark night, Wen Qiwen looked around helplessly. The people around him were busy fighting the fire, and no one paid any attention to them.He gritted his teeth, helped Zhang Zirui up with difficulty, and half-supported and half-dragged towards the hospital.

Wen Qiwen worked all year round and had a lot of strength, while Zhang Zirui was sick and thin. Although he was struggling, he could barely move forward.

Finally arrived at the medical hall, but in the middle of the night, the medical hall was closed, Wen Qiwen was struggling to support Zhang Zirui, while patting on the door panel with difficulty.

"Open the door, open the door quickly, is there anyone? Doctor~~"

"Come on, come on, stop shouting."

After a while, a boy opened the door.If it weren't for the noise in the streets today, no one would have responded so quickly.

"Brother, hello. My brother is sick and needs to see a doctor."

The young man looked at them, and saw that both of them were in a terrible state of distress, not to mention wearing only their underwear, which was burned to tatters.There is also a young man supported by a young man, who looks like he is dying, a little scary, and he opens the door to let them in.

"come in."

"Thank you, little brother."

Wen Qiwen helped Zhang Zirui into the hospital, and a young doctor opened the curtain and walked in from the inner courtyard.

"Third son, who is here?"

"Doctor Bai is here to see a doctor. It seems to be serious so I let him in." The third son said, looking at Doctor Bai anxiously, he was acting on his own initiative.

"Well, you did a good job." Doctor Bai smiled gently, and he didn't blame the third son with a heart of a doctor.

"Doctor, please show my brother what's wrong with him." Wen Qiwen looked anxiously at Doctor Bai.

Doctor Bai looked at the two of them, frowned, but didn't ask any further questions. "Third son, help this little brother to help him to the inner room."

"Ah." The third son quickly helped Zhang Zirui, took them to a small room, put Zhang Zirui on a small bed, pulled a blue quilt to cover him, it was a bit cold at night.

Behind them, Doctor Bai sat down on the side of the bed and felt Zhang Zirui's pulse.

"How is my brother, doctor?"

"No problem, it's just that the body is too weak, the wind and cold enter the body, and a lot of smoke and dust have been inhaled. As long as you take the medicine on time and take good care of it, you will be cured in three to seven days. It's just that your body has suffered a lot, so you need to pay attention to self-cultivation. He estimated tonight I'm going to have a fever, so be careful."

As Doctor Bai spoke, he wrote a prescription and asked his third son to prescribe it for them.

"Thank you doctor, how much is the consultation fee?" Wen Qiwen looked grateful, and carefully took out five taels of silver from his clothes.This is what Ah Wu gave him for self-defense. He keeps it next to his body all the time, and puts it under his pillow when he sleeps.When Brother Rui asked him to hide under the bed, he conveniently put the money into his clothes, unexpectedly it became life-saving money.

Doctor Bai took a look at him, and took three liang of silver for the medicine and consultation fee.

After seeing the illness, Doctor Bai returned to the inner courtyard.The third son grabbed the medicine and gave him a box of burn ointment, which was ordered by Doctor Bai.The third son also took a coarse coat and handed it to Wen Qiwen.

"These are my clothes. Don't dislike them. Just wear them." The third son was kind, but he didn't realize that Wen Qiwen was a twin. Otherwise, he would not lend him his clothes just to avoid suspicion.

"Thank you." Wen Qiwen thanked him again and again, he really met a good person.

Then the third son told him where the kitchen was, explained some things that needed attention, and went back to rest.Wen Qiwen decocted the medicine, gave it to Zhang Zirui, boiled water, and cleaned himself and Zhang Zirui.Then he took the scald ointment and applied the medicine to the burnt places on both of their bodies.He didn't notice it before, but now he found that both of them had redness and swelling in many places, and he only felt burning pain.

After the medicine was given, Zhang Zirui developed a fever.So Wen Qiwen guarded him like this until dawn, when Zhang Zirui's condition also improved.

When the third son got up, Wen Qiwen said that he was going to buy two sets of clothes, and asked the third son to help take care of Zhang Zirui.

The street was full of people coming and going early in the morning, and it was very lively.The fire in the Zhang family has been extinguished, and the pedestrians on the street are whispering about the Zhang family.It is said that Zhang's family was burned to ruins and destroyed overnight, and the government is investigating the matter.

Wen Qiwen listened silently, his expression not very good.He found a tailor shop and bought two ordinary cotton clothes for Zhang Zirui from the inside out, and bought himself a pair of cheap coarse clothes and a big quilt.

When he arrived at the hospital, he washed himself and Zhang Zirui, and changed into clothes.Then wash the clothes of the third son and the bedding of the hospital, and hang them in the air.Then he hired a carriage, thanked Doctor Bai and his third son, and took Zhang Zirui to Sanshui Village.

The Zhang family was destroyed, they had nowhere to go at this time, they couldn't stay in the hospital forever, and the money in his hand was less than five hundred cash.So he decided to take Zhang Zirui home, so that they would have a place to stay and he could take care of the family.As for the future, we can only wait for Brother Rui to wake up.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to Wen's house. Wen Qiwen looked at the familiar courtyard gate and the three low thatched huts, his eyes were red.Although I had only been away from home for more than ten days, it seemed like a lifetime had passed.

No, no, why is there a white couplet posted at home.Wen Qiwen's heart sank, and before the carriage stopped, he jumped out of the carriage.He came to the door and saw that the courtyard door was closed.Through the low fence wall and the broken wooden door, you can see that the door is open, and there must be someone at home.

"Awu, is Awu at home? Open the door, I'm back."

Wen Qiwu who was in the room rushed out when he heard the voice, and sure enough, he saw that it was the elder brother.He opened the door and looked at Wen Qiwen in disbelief.

"Awu, why is there a white couplet posted at home, father, father." Wen Qiwen asked Wen Qiwu's hand eagerly.

Immediately, Wen Qiwu's eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, "Father, Father is gone."

Wen Qiwen only felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and he was dumbfounded.Why did my father still leave? Didn't the doctor say there is still hope?

"Big brother, big brother." Brother Pingan also ran out of the house at this time, holding Wen Qiwen's leg and crying loudly.Eldest brother was gone, father was dead, they thought they would never see elder brother again.

The coachman looked at the sad children with a troubled expression on his face, he still had something to do, so he couldn't delay here.

"That~~ Brother, look~~" the coachman said to Wen Qiwen, and took another look at the carriage.

Wen Qiwen wiped away his tears, and patted Brother Pingan on the head. The two brothers reluctantly let go of his legs, but kept their eyes on him, as if they were afraid that he would run away.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, can I trouble you to carry him into the house for me?"

"Okay." The coachman was a man in his thirties, and he carried Zhang Zirui who was wrapped in a quilt from the car.Wen Qiwu looked at Zhang Zirui, hesitant to speak.

Wen Qiwen arranged Zhang Zirui in the house where his father used to live, which was also a better house for their family.After paying the fare for the car, Zhang Zirui was settled, and only then was he free to catch up with his family.

With tears in his eyes, Wen Qiwen put a stick of incense on Father's tablet. Looking at the tablet next to Father's tablet, Wen Qiwen burst into tears. He came back late, and he didn't even see Father's last face.Wen Qiwen kowtowed three times respectfully, and led his brothers to the next room.

After entering the room, he picked up his little sister who was sleeping soundly on the bed. The little guy seemed to feel a familiar smell in his arms. He slept soundly and didn't intend to wake up at all.

The two Ping'an brothers kicked their short legs, pouted their buttocks, climbed onto the bed, and sat beside Wen Qiwen on one left and one on the right, guarding him.Wen Qiwu sat down opposite Wen Qiwen.

"When did father go? What's going on at home?" Wen Qiwen asked in a low voice, holding back his sadness.

☆, the so-called relatives

Wen Qiwu lowered his head and slumped his shoulders and slowly told what happened at home in the past few days. The more than ten days when his eldest brother was away felt very long and tormented.

Because of Zhang's family's employment, their father hired a doctor from the town, changed his medicine, and his health improved, at least he was no longer groggy.This made Wen Qiwu very happy, and felt that his elder brother's painstaking efforts were not in vain.It's just that Chen Yue has been thinking about Wen Qiwen who is 'going out to work', and hopes that he will come back sooner.

But within a few days, rumors of Wen Qiwen marrying someone to celebrate the joy spread, and it was even said that Wen Qiwen was going to be buried by someone.In the end, in order to see a doctor and survive, Chen Yue sold Wen Qiwen to the young master of the Zhang family to be buried and enjoy himself.

Moreover, the hiring silver given by the Zhang family was 100 taels, which was a huge sum of money for the villagers. Many people in the village had never seen so much silver taels in their entire lives.The envious people said all sorts of nasty things. The Wen family seldom walked around the village, so they didn't hear them.

And these news came from Wen Xing, the daughter of Uncle Wen's family.Wen Xing grew up pampered by the Li family. She is also good-looking, and has a talented father, who is one of the best in Sanshui Village.But she has a big heart, she doesn't like mud-legged people in the country, and always wants to marry a rich family in the town.

Regarding Wen Qiwen's ability to marry into the best Zhang family in the town, Wen Xing is very contradictory. On the one hand, she envies the wealth of the Zhang family, and on the other hand, she gloats about other misfortunes. She secretly heard her parents say that the youngest of this family will not survive. , this person was married and buried for joy.Thinking of the end of Chongxi's funeral, her somewhat distorted heart became much calmer.

After Wen Qiwen was happy, the young master of the Zhang family recovered from his illness.This news caused her originally balanced heart to twist again.Thinking of Wen Qiwen's rich silk and satin wedding dress, and the rich life surrounded by servants of the Zhang family, she felt that all these should belong to her.

Mrs. Li has been nurturing the two daughters who are as beautiful as flowers and jade all day long. They are all the lives of the eldest and young mistresses, and they will be prosperous in the future.No girl in Sanshui Village can compare to them, and they are no worse than those girls.These words made Wen Xing a little dazed, and she always felt that she was superior to others in this country.

As long as she thinks that the lowly kind who is a twin is living better than herself now, she will feel aggrieved, as if she has robbed her.

Feeling dissatisfied, and not knowing that the law of the dynasty strictly forbids human sacrifice, Wen Xing, whose own family has received a hush money, began to spread rumors about Wen Qiwen's family in the village.

When these words reached Mrs. Wang's ears, they would be fried.That's 100 taels of silver, why doesn't that silver belong to their family?And when she and her sister-in-law went to talk about their marriage before, the sister-in-law gave her ten taels of silver after the promise was made.

But think about it, the elder sister-in-law said that the hiring silver was 50 taels, and they would give 30 taels to the third family at most, and the rest of the family would be 50 taels.Hmph, her good sister-in-law, this is [-] taels of ignorance.But the third child is really good at calculating, she was very angry because she didn't get a penny.

The more Wang thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, so she rolled up her sleeves and rushed to the third child's house in a hurry.At that time, Wen Qiwu was working in the vegetable field behind the yard, and let the two Pingan brothers watch over the house, and they hurried to call him from the back of the house if they had something to do.

Although Ping'an's two younger brothers are small, they are very sensible and obedient, obediently obeying the second elder brother's orders to play in the yard.Seeing their second aunt rushing in aggressively, she went straight into the room and cursed at her.The two Pingan brothers were terrified, and hurried to the back of the house to call the second brother.

As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the room, she pointed at Chen Yue and scolded: "Well, you bastard, my sister-in-law and I talked to the boss of your family. Didn't you say that you don't agree to marry? What's the matter, we just turned around and left you. Secretly sold someone to Zhang's family for burial. Hmph, why didn't we see it before, are you so dark-hearted?"

Seeing Wang rushing in angrily, Chen Yue opened his mouth with a series of crackling words.He didn't understand at first, but after a while he realized something was wrong.Chen Yue hurriedly asked: "Ahem~~ Second sister-in-law, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "You really know how to pretend. Could it be that you weren't the one who sold Awen to the Zhang family for 100 taels of silver? That would be weird, as your family is so poor. , can you afford a doctor, can you afford to see a doctor?"

Chen Yue was taken aback by what she said, and when he thought of the boss who had left home, he also felt that something was wrong, and suddenly became anxious.

"It's not up to you to take care of our family." At this moment, Wen Qiwu came in with a hoe, and he glanced at his father who was about to faint from anger.Thinking of the elder brother's explanation before leaving, Wen Qiwu stared at Wang sternly.

Wang felt that Wen Qiwu's eyes were a bit piercing, but after thinking about it, he was just a furry child who didn't even grow a hair, and shouted: "I don't bother to care about your family's mess, they are all black-hearted, use your elder brother's The money I got in exchange for my life is also spent with peace of mind."

"Hmph, wasn't my eldest brother cheated into marriage by my good aunt? She sent everyone out, and it's not our family if he can't sleep. Now, get the hell out of here." Wen Qiwu stared wide-eyed and picked up his hoe Throw it over.

Mrs. Wang was taken aback, screamed and hid.Seeing that the hoe had dug a hole where she had just stood, she was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.At this moment, seeing Wen Qiwu picking up the hoe again, she was so frightened that she ran out cursing.

The two Pingan brothers were terrified, and hid in a ball by the door.Wen Qiwu panted, looking fiercely at the direction Wang left.

After his elder brother got married, he was looking forward to his eldest brother returning home in three days.The eldest brother didn't come back on the third day, so he went to the town to inquire, and the young master of the Zhang family recovered from his illness.Although I didn't see my eldest brother, I felt relieved at last.

After Mrs. Wang left Wen's house, the more she thought about it, the more something went wrong.That sick child Chen Yue couldn't even get out of bed, how could he contact the Zhang family.Thinking of what Wen Qiwu said, Mrs. Wang figured it out. Her good sister-in-law secretly married her, and the money that was going to be distributed to her was lost.

The Wang family, who was not very smart at first, and who lost money's eyes, turned to Uncle Wen's house angrily.Leaving aside how the Wang family and the Li family broke up, Wen Qiwu was forced to question by Chen Yue when he drove the Wang family away.

"Awu, where did your elder brother go?"

Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Wen Qiwu explained the matter in detail.The more Chen Yue listened, the sadder he became, and the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became. Unexpectedly, the eldest son helped sell him in the end. What will Ah Wen do for the rest of his life?

Chen Yue was angry and anxious. He was worried about Wen Qiwen and hated himself for not being able to live up to his expectations. As a result, he couldn't catch his breath and passed out.This incident became the trigger, and Chen Yue, who was already approaching his deadline, went there that night.

Chen Yue walked away full of remorse and anger, ending his life full of hardships.A few children were left, helpless and sad in the face of his dead body.

That night, a group of children, big and small, from the Wen family cried helplessly and desolately.The neighbors were alarmed, and Aunt Wu next door was so sad when she heard them cry that she dragged her husband to check.Seeing a room full of helpless children guarding my father's cold body, crying miserably, I immediately felt compassion.

So Aunt Wu and her husband brought the two eldest sons of the family to help with the funeral.Fortunately, Wen Qiwen still left a lot of money, and there was no shortage of money.Boss Wen and Lao Wen's family didn't show up from the beginning to the end because of guilty conscience.

Wen Qiwu also went to Zhang's house to find Wen Qiwen, wanting him to come back for the funeral, but Zhang's house didn't even let him in.

"Brother, I hate it! If it weren't for their father, they wouldn't have died, and they could still wait for you to come back. I hate them, the Wen family." Wen Qiwu tore open the wound in his heart again, exposing it bloody, like a wounded The little beast roared in a low voice.

"Wow~~" The little thing who was sleeping soundly in Wen Qiwen's arms woke up and started crying.The two Pingan brothers beside Wen Qiwen also cried.

Wen Qiwen's eyes were red, and he finally managed to coax his younger siblings.Brother Pingan seemed to be tired from crying, and fell asleep in bed.The little girl opened her eyes wide and nestled obediently in Wen Qiwen's arms, looking at him and then at Wen Qiwu, with an obedient appearance.

Wen Qiwen: "People are doing it, but the sky is watching. Where is my father buried?"

Wen Qiwu: "I buried Father in Father's Clothes Tomb, so it can be regarded as burying them together. It just happens that the mountain will be covered tomorrow, so I can let Father see you, so I can feel at ease."

"En." Wen Qiwen nodded.

The room became silent, and Wen Qiwu asked after a while, "Brother, how are you doing in Zhang's house? The man in the next room is~~"

Wen Qiwen: "That person is my husband-in-law, the young master of the Zhang family."

Wen Qiwu: "Ah, what's going on at this time?"

Wen Qiwen sighed, and briefly described his experience of the past ten days.Wen Qiwu was afraid after hearing this for a while, and hated his uncle's family even more in his heart.Although he doesn't like the Zhang family either, he has a good impression of his brother-in-law.

"Brother, you and your brother-in-law can live at home, so our family can take care of each other." Wen Qiwu was very happy to be reunited with his brother.

"En." Wen Qiwen nodded, but he had other plans in mind.

Before dinner, Zhang Zirui finally woke up.He opened his eyes only to see the mosquito net on top of his head, which was patched layer after layer, so that the original appearance could hardly be seen.He thought to himself where is this?Could it be crossing again?

Wen Qi'an: "Third brother, brother-in-law is awake."

Wen Chiping: "Brother, are you hungry?"

Zhang Zirui heard two soft and waxy voices, and turned his head to see two identical little Douding lying beside his bed.The two little bean dices look exactly the same, with dark complexion, thin and small, and their heads are obviously larger in proportion.Xiao Douding's clothes had more patches than the mosquito net over his head, and it looked like they were all patched together.And there are still a few gaps that haven't been filled.

But Xiao Douding's big round black eyes are full of ignorance and innocence, which looks cute and pitiful.

But they call themselves brother-in-law?Is it the child's brother?

Wen Qi'an turned his head to look at Wen Qiping. "Third brother, brother-in-law won't sleep stupid, will he?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll call Big Brother." Wen Qiping said, and ran out on short legs.

Wen Qi'an continued to stare at Zhang Zirui.

After a while, Wen Qiwen walked in with a bowl, followed closely by a little Douding.

"I made millet porridge for you, and you've been lethargic for a day." Wen Qiwen put the bowl on the stool beside him, and saw Zhang Zirui help him up, letting him lean against the head of the bed.

"Here is~~" Zhang Zirui asked even though he had already guessed seven or eight points.

"This is my home. The Zhang family is gone. I didn't know where to go, so I brought you back." Wen Qiwen said while picking up millet porridge for feeding.

"I'll do it myself." His hands are still intact, and he can still eat by himself.

Wen Qiwen didn't say anything, just handed him the bowl.

Just as Zhang Zirui was about to eat, he saw two little beans looking at him eagerly, their big eyes were full of delicious smells, I really want to eat, I really want to eat.He paused, a little embarrassed.

"You have them too, go find your second brother in the kitchen." Wen Qiwen felt sour when he saw the slanderous behavior of the two Pingan brothers.Because he wanted to treat his father's illness, Wen Qiwu didn't dare to spend those silver taels. The food at home was still the same as before, coarse grains with wild vegetables, and a pot of gruel cooked with some salt, and he could only eat half full.

Wen Qiwen thought, Brother Rui is a patient and a spoiled young master, so he can't eat coarse grains and wild vegetables like them, right?Now that he still has some money on hand, he might as well improve food for his younger siblings.So he went to Aunt Wu's house next door to buy some millet and two eggs.When I came back, I cooked a pot of millet egg porridge.

☆, 10 barren walls

When the eldest brother spoke, the two little bean dings cheered and went to find the second brother to eat delicious food with their short legs.

Zhang Zirui thought the two young ones were cute, so he picked up the porridge and drank it with a smile.After finishing the porridge, he thought for a while, took off a jade pendant around his neck, and handed it to Wen Qiwen.

"Awen, you found time to pawn this jade pendant. Now that you are married to me, you can't just live in your mother's house like this?"

This jade pendant was left to him by Young Master Zhang's mother, and it is said that it is used for safety.First Young Master Zhang always took it with him and never left him.Now the Zhang family doesn't know what's going on, Ah Wen's family is poor, and he is a big man, so he can't let his wife take care of him, right?

If this jade pendant is dead, it should be able to be about 50 taels, deal with it first, and he will figure out a way when he recovers.As for raising the family, it's better for him to come, the child is still young.

"Awu and the others don't mind~~" Wen Qiwen hesitated, he knew what Rui Ge said was right, after all he was married.Although Ah Wu and the others didn't care, what would others think?

"It's just a piece of jade pendant. There are many places to spend money at home, so you just listen to me." Zhang Zirui said that he would not give him a chance to refuse, and stuffed the jade pendant into Wen Qiwen's hands.

Wen Qiwen finally accepted the jade pendant, thinking about his brother and sister's shoes with exposed toes, tattered clothes, and thin bodies.Rui Ge is also in poor health, he can no longer be a burden to the family.

"Brother, the medicine is ready."

Just as Wen Qiwen put away the jade pendant, Wen Qiwu came in with a bowl of medicine.

"This is my second brother Wen Qiwu." Wen Qiwen introduced.

Wen Qiwu looked at Zhang Zirui who was sitting on the head of the bed, and walked over awkwardly.

"Brother, drink the medicine." He said and handed the medicine bowl to Zhang Zirui.

"Second Brother, I'm sorry." Zhang Zirui took the bowl, looked at the bowl with three mouths missing, and looked at Wen Qiwu, who was black and thin, and sighed in his heart, this family is really impoverished.

"You're welcome, you are my brother-in-law. From now on, you and my eldest brother can live at home with peace of mind." Wen Qiwu was a little awkward when facing Zhang Zirui, but to him, they are also a family, as long as he treats his eldest brother well. , nothing else matters.

Zhang Zirui smiled, feeling that the child's brother is very honest and pure.

At night, Wen Qiwen and Zhang Zirui lay flat on the bed. They lived in the main room where Wen's parents used to live, and the other children lived in the east room next door.

Wen Qiwen couldn't sleep thinking about his father. Maybe the magic power at night always makes people vulnerable. Maybe it's because there are too many things in my heart and I want to talk to someone. Wen Qiwen told Zhang Zirui about family affairs.

Zhang Zirui rested for a day, and his spirit was a little better. He listened quietly, feeling uncomfortable for the child.Think about it, although I had no parents before, but my family was good, and I had a grandfather who loved him dearly.From childhood to adulthood, except for some hardships in cultivation, I have not suffered in other aspects.

Even if his father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't love him, he has never suffered since he was a child.

In comparison, the child's family is indeed suffering a bit.The family is impoverished, his father died young, and his mother was seriously ill. The burden of the whole family is on the heads of the two brothers, civil and military.And they are just children, the responsibility of a family is too heavy for them.

Seriously ill father, young siblings, wolf-like relatives, indifferent villagers, the life of this family is really hard.The child sold himself for the sake of his family, but his father was pissed to death because of his "selling himself" money.

Zhang Zirui sighed, stretched out his hand to embrace the crying child into his arms, and patted him on the back.

"Cry if you want to cry, just cry out." Thinking about the children's experiences these days, Zhang Zirui's voice became softer.

"Woo~~~~~~" The child nestled in Zhang Zirui's arms and began to cry softly.He didn't dare to cry loudly, for fear that his younger siblings would hear him.

"It's okay, Brother Rui will be here from now on." Zhang Zirui felt a coldness in his chest, and when he heard the child crying softly, he felt a little more pity in his heart.He thought to himself that he would take care of and protect Awen in the future.

Wen Qiwen cried for a long time before gradually stopping.After crying, he felt much more comfortable in his heart.Thinking about what will happen tomorrow, he still choked up and said: "Brother Rui, tomorrow is the third day after Father is buried, I will go to the town with Ah Wu to buy something to worship Father, if you have anything to do, call Ping An and them. "

"Don't worry, I'm in better health. Bring my little girl here tomorrow, and I'll show you." Zhang Zirui was speechless. Does the child treat him as fragile?

In the child's heart, his image was so weak that he was actually allowed to be taken care of by two four-year-old little Douding.He was very helpless about this, but the aura in Sanshui Village was stronger than that in the town, which made him more confident in recovering his health.

"Okay." In the darkness, Wen Qiwen nestled in this warm embrace, chatted with Zhang Zirui casually, and fell asleep while chatting.

Hearing the child muttering, Zhang Zirui felt that the child was really suffocated.As the elder brother, he wants to pretend to be strong, and he can't tell his younger brother about anything, it's embarrassing for him.Thinking of Zhang Zirui, he felt drowsy, and fell asleep with the child cuddled together.

The next day, the Wen and Wu brothers got up before dawn.Ah Wu made breakfast and warmed it in the pot. Ah Wen was worried that the younger sister would wet the bed, so after peeing and changing the diaper, he carried her to Zhang Zirui's bed.

Zhang Zirui lifted a corner of the quilt and asked Wen Qiwen to put the little girl down and cover her with a quilt.

"Brother Rui, I've already put a diaper on for my little sister, and I put the changed diaper at the end of the bed." Wen Qiwen was a little worried, after all, Brother Rui was in poor health and had never taken care of a child.

"You can rest assured, be careful on the road." Zhang Zirui had no choice but to eat pork or see a pig running?When the body recovers, we must change the child's impression of him.

"Well, Brother Rui, I'm leaving. It's still early, so you can sleep a little longer."

Sanshui Village is located in the mountains, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, but it is a bit far from the town, and the road is not easy to walk.With the footsteps of the two brothers of the Wen family, it would take more than an hour to reach the town at least.Counting the time, the two brothers arrived in the town before dawn with their backpacks on their backs.

Wen Qiwu went to buy sacrificial supplies, and Wen Qiwen went to the only pawn shop in the town to pawn the jade pendant.The jade pendant was dead, so that he could get some more silver taels, which was also explained by Zhang Zirui.Yupei pawned 40 taels of silver, which was a little less than Zhang Zirui expected.

Putting the money away carefully, Wen Qiwen used the remaining money to buy some white flour and rice, and then cut some meat and bought some daily necessities.Ever since he could remember, neither father nor father had ever eaten a mouthful of dry white rice. Today he was going to sacrifice, and he wanted to get some good ones.

When he arrived in the town, Wen Qiwen deliberately avoided news from the Zhang family.Brother Rui also told him not to inquire, he also has his own selfish intentions, he doesn't want to go back to the Zhang family, and he doesn't want to viciously think that everyone in the Zhang family is dead.

Zhang Zirui didn't let him inquire, because he didn't know the situation and didn't want the child to be in danger.I don't know who are those people who killed people in the Zhang family?What if it is seeking revenge?Anyway, others don't know that the child is Zhang's daughter-in-law, so don't go into the muddy water.

With the government here, I am not afraid that no one in the Zhang family will collect the corpse.When the news passed, his health was better, and he went to Yizhuang to bury him, which would be considered as his best for Young Master Zhang.

After Wen Qiwen left, Zhang Zirui slept for a while.Then I was woken up by my little sister, who didn't make any noise just after waking up, looked around with her big black eyes, then clenched her little hands into fists, and gnawed happily in her mouth.She gnawed for a while and felt hungry. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she shrunk her mouth and began to cry.While crying, leaning towards Zhang Zirui side by side.

Zhang Zirui was awakened by the crying, rubbed his somewhat drowsy head, put on his clothes and clumsily hugged and coaxed the little girl.The more he coaxed the little girl to cry, the harder Zhang Zirui was at a loss.

He opened the diaper and looked at it. It was dry, and it was stuffed again.What's going on here?

The two Pingan brothers next door heard the little sister's cry and ran over with their own clothes on.

Wen Qiping: "Why is brother-in-law and younger sister crying all the time?"

Wen Qi'an: "Little sister is a crybaby."

Zhang Zirui, who was in a state of desperation, said, "I don't know either."

Wen Qi'an thought for a while, tilted his head, and asked doubtfully, "Is my little sister hungry?"

Wen Qiping touched his flat belly, and said with a firm face, "Little sister must be hungry, and I am hungry too."

Zhang Zirui suddenly realized, he remembered that the child said that he made breakfast in the pot.He put the younger sister on the bed, and then said to the Pingan brothers: "Third brother, fourth brother, you are here to watch the younger sister, brother-in-law is going to bring you breakfast."

The two Pingan brothers looked happy, their eyes sparkling, their chests straightened out, and they said, "Okay, leave it to us."

Zhang Zirui patted the heads of the two of them and went to the kitchen.Wen's kitchen is actually a thatched shed.Zhang Zirui rummaged through the kitchen for a while, only to find three bowls.The Wen family only had five bowls in total, and none of them were intact.

Breakfast was millet egg porridge, and Zhang Zirui served three bowls to the main room where they lived.He put the porridge on the table, and the two little ones ran over with a cheer, climbed onto the rickety stool and finished it, holding the bowl with their two little paws, skillfully avoiding the missing place, and drinking it Here comes the porridge.

Zhang Zirui hugged his little sister, sat at the table, and fed her small bites with the only spoon.With food, the little guy stopped crying and obediently waited for feeding.After the three little ones were full, Zhang Zirui felt a little exhausted.

Fortunately, several children
