[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral

Wen Qiwen stood by the big pot, which was removed from the stove at home.This simple stove was built with the help of the villagers, and the firewood was also picked up by everyone.

"Line up, come one by one." Wen Qiwen yelled while scooping up medicine for someone.

"Awen, give me some more." An old woman took a large bowl and wanted to ask for more medicine.

"Auntie, this is medicine, it's not good to take too much, and how many people are waiting in the village."

Wen Qiwen ignored her and continued to scoop up the medicine for the next person.There are not many medicinal materials at home, so I can't stand the toss.

"I said, does your medicine work? Even the doctors in the county can't cure it." Wang held out the bowl while still feeling disgusted.

Xiang Bei ignored her and scooped up a bowl of medicine for the next person.

"It's useless, you don't have to eat it." Wen Qiwen didn't bother to talk to her, as his second aunt used to go to their house to make trouble.

"Do you want it? Don't get out of the way quickly, don't stop me." The woman standing behind Wang saw Wang's appearance and pushed her directly.

"Yes, why not, anyway, I don't need money." Ms. Wang muttered, seeing that Wen Qiwen and Xiang Bei were not going to pay any attention to her, she directly put the bowl into the pot and took a bowl.Then he ran away in a hurry.

Looking at her flustered back, Wen Qiwen didn't know what to say.

At this time, a thin figure handed over a small broken bowl, Wen Qiwen looked up, it was Wen Xiaoyue.Things seemed to get worse for her, hearing that her brother had gone to labor and never returned.Wen Qiwen silently scooped up a bowl of medicine for her.

Those who had offended Wen Qiwen in the past were somewhat embarrassed to see that he did not refuse to give them medicine because of the previous incident.Before they came, they had been worried for a long time. If life and death were not at stake, they would have retreated.

"Ah Wen, where's your husband?" The village head hurried over with two people.

"He went home to get the medicine, and he will be here in a while."

This person just couldn't say anything, just as he spoke, Zhang Zirui came over with a burden on his back.

"The village chief, are you looking for me?" He said while handing the burden to Wen Qiwen.

"Come and see with me, the source of the plague has been found."

When Zhang Zirui heard this, he hurriedly followed the village chief, and they came to the home of Wen Chengcai in the village. It turned out that Wen Chengcai and his two sons who had returned from the town were the first to be infected with the plague.It's just that their family didn't dare to say it, and kept secretive and sneaky.

With a haggard face, Mrs. Li guarded her husband and son. Recently, they dare not even leave the house, for fear that people will find out that someone in the family is sick and drive them out of the village.Fortunately, the Zhang family is now applying medicine in the village, causing Wen Chengcai and his two sons to hang their lives.

A few days ago, Wen Xing was married by Wen Chengcai to the 50-year-old county magistrate to fill in the house. Only Wen Tao and Li's family were not infected.Because of Wen Xing's marriage, Wen Tao hated and feared her parents and elder brother, and always timidly hid aside.

But the paper couldn't hold the fire, and they were still discovered.If the Zhang family and Wen Qiwu hadn't controlled the epidemic, their family would have been kicked out of the village.They brought the plague back quietly, but it killed the whole village.But not driving them away doesn't mean that the villagers don't have knots in their hearts.

Zhang Zirui felt hesitant to see Wen Chengcai, a hypocrite.But now the situation had to be looked at, so he saw a doctor for Wen Chengcai, father and son, and then threw away three packs of medicine and received three taels of silver.

"You don't charge money for applying medicine in the village, why should you charge us a tael of silver for a set of medicine. You treat your medicine as a panacea." Li Shi was unhappy when he heard that he wanted to charge money, and yelled loudly.It's not that her family has no money, there is still some dowry left from Mo Wen Qiwen, and the dowry for Wen Tao is more than 100 taels, but she can't bear it.

"Whatever you want, I'll take it back if you don't want it." Zhang Zirui glanced at her coldly, and was about to put it away.

The village head looked embarrassed, and didn't know which side to persuade, so he just kept silent in the end.The two people who came with the village chief felt that Zhang Xiucai's medicine fee was cheap, and they should charge one or two more, and they are not polite to this kind of scourge.

"Village chief, please tell me, my family is not easy." Li looked at the village chief weeping.

"I can't help you with this." The village head walked out, he couldn't help but hold Zhang's family and Wen Qiwu brothers and sisters, now they are the gods of Dinghai in the village.

Seeing that Zhang Zirui really didn't plan to give them medicine, and the village chief didn't help.Li Shicai gave the money reluctantly while cursing.After taking the money, Zhang Zirui turned around and left, really unwilling to stay here any longer.

The village head asked Mrs. Wang to get some vinegar and lime, and then explained the specific precautions, and also paid attention to disinfection. People in their family should not go out casually, lest they go out and infect others.

Wen Qiwen didn't see Qin Shi when he applied the medicine, so he always felt a little worried, so he went to have a look when he was free.It turned out that the Qin family was infected with the plague and was dying of high fever.If he hadn't come here today, no one would have known about Qin's death. This is the tragedy of the lonely and helpless.

Wen Qiwen called Zhang Zirui, showed it to Mrs. Qin, and prescribed some medicine.Since Zhang Zirui was able to cure the plague, he had less scruples.But he still told Wen Qiwen to take precautions, and Zhang Zirui himself was also very careful, often those who save others cannot save themselves.

At this time, the news of Li Fengjiao's death came from the village. She was also infected with the plague, but she was unwilling to accept the Zhang family's charity, and insisted not to find Zhang Zirui.Xiaoyue also followed her, and now Xiaoyue has become numb to the abuse from Li Fengjiao, let alone has no feelings at all.It's just that she didn't want to die yet, so she secretly went to Wen Qiwen to get medicine to drink every day.

Xiaoyue also realizes now that Wen Qiwen is actually a very good person.It's just that the family is like this now, and she can't have any good feelings for the Zhang family, and of course she doesn't dislike it.With the help of villagers and relatives, Xiaoyue buried Li Fengjiao.Because Li Fengjiao died of the plague, and she didn't stop, she sprinkled white ash that day and buried her deeply.

It's just that Wen Qiwen didn't expect that Xiaoyue would show up at Qin's house.

"I'll help you take care of her. After all, it's inconvenient for you." Xiaoyue stared at Wen Qiwen blankly.

"why?"

"I don't want to owe you favors, I will pay back what I owe you, so that I will have nothing to do with you." Xiaoyue said with a numb expression and a hollow tone.Like her, the Qin family is a poor person.

"Okay, when Aunt Qin gets well, you won't owe me any more." Wen Qiwen simply agreed that it was really inconvenient for him to take care of Qin.But Qin has been in prison and contracted the plague, so no one is willing to take care of her. "You can cook the food here and eat it yourself. Only when you are full can you take good care of the patients."

The food in Qin's family was brought by Wen Qiwen.This time he saved the Qin family, so he has paid off the favor, right?

"Okay." Xiaoyue knew it was Wen Qiwen's kindness, and she didn't refuse.

Now Xiaoyue's family is only left with her as a little girl, and her relatives' family has not been peaceful recently, so no one has the leisure to take care of her.So she stayed at Qin's home to take care of Qin, and no one came out to say anything.

After several days of busy work, the epidemic situation in the village was finally stabilized.King Cheng's illness is also cured, but his subordinates have not come to pick him up, and I don't know if he has contacted him?

"Your illness is almost healed, what are your plans?" Zhang Zirui felt that it was wrong to always keep an outsider at home like this.

"It's only a few days away, but when the time comes, sir, please go to Panshan County with me to solve the plague problem." King Cheng is now [-]% sure that this person has excellent medical skills.

"No, I can give you the prescription." Zhang Zirui is a cultivator, and the reason why he is willing to live in seclusion in this small mountain village is that it is far away from the outside world, but he will not live alone.He is very unwilling to get involved in too many things.

"Sir, you are a man of great talent, why do you want to bury him here?" If a person like Zhang Zirui is willing to leave this small mountain village, he will definitely be able to achieve great things.

Through these days of observation, he discovered that the couple in this family are not only good at medicine, but also both civil and military.That Shuang'er is slightly worse, but his status as a Shuang'er is also commendable.Although he didn't say his identity, he knew that Zhang Zirui must have guessed it in his heart.

"Everyone has different wishes. I like living here, and I like to live a simpler life." Zhang Zirui refused bluntly.

King Cheng's persuasion was fruitless, so he had to give up in the end. He was very lucky to find a cure for the plague and save his life.

Before King Cheng's subordinates arrived, Sanshui Village was once again surrounded by soldiers. Those people did not enter the village, but stayed away from it.

The villagers ran out of their homes in panic to check the situation.Zhang Zirui told Cheng Wang to stay at home, and hurried out, followed by Wen Qiwen.Wen Qiwu took his younger siblings to Wu's house, handed them over to Aunt Wu, and followed them.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw that the village head was tremblingly chatting with the leading officer.Behind him were the able-bodied elders in the village, but at this moment, everyone's faces were a little ugly.

"My lord, the youngest one is the head of this village. How dare you ask me why you surrounded the village?"

"Someone reported that your village is infected with the plague." The leading officer, with a fierce look on his face, could tell he had seen blood and killed someone.

The villagers who came to see the situation were also frightened, and looked at the soldiers around them in horror.Look at this posture, this is coming to slaughter the village.What can I do?

When the village chief heard this, he was shocked and explained in a hurry. "Officer, Rong Xiao reports that the plague in our village has been brought under control and there is a cure."

"Hmph, if this plague can be cured, do you still need to die so many people? What's more, in a small remote village like yours, how can anyone be able to cure the plague?" The officer said mockingly, not believing the village chief at all. if.

"General, it's ready." At this moment, a soldier stepped forward to report.

This is about to start massacring the village, and the women in the village were frightened and cried.Many people knelt down and begged the leading general, but the general was unmoved at all, with a cold and heartless expression on his face.

Wen Qiwen tugged on Zhang Zirui's sleeve anxiously, he had already made up his mind that he would protect Brother Rui no matter what.

"Awu, you go back and tell Cheng Yu about this." Zhang Zirui said, and lightly patted Wen Qiwen's hand holding his sleeve.

Wen Qiwu nodded, quietly disappeared into the panicked crowd, and ran home.Although he didn't know why his brother-in-law asked him to find Chengyu, he still insisted on listening to his brother-in-law.

"General, why are you so sure that no one in this village can cure the plague? If you're not sure, isn't the general just disregarding human lives?" Zhang Zirui slowly walked out of the crowd, and Wen Qiwen followed him firmly.

"It's nonsense. If someone can cure it, why let the plague rage in Qujiang County and several nearby counties, and the people are in dire straits. Do you know how many people have died because of this plague?" The general's tone was cold, with majestic killing intent.Seeing the out-of-this-world demeanor of Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen, the general felt somewhat convinced.But then came the monstrous anger, because of the selfishness of these people, his soldiers did not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but continued to slaughter those helpless, hopeless and seriously ill civilians every day.

In order to prevent the spread of the plague, they wiped out one village after another, and there were even uninfected people there.Their hands were covered with blood, and they bore countless wronged souls.

Zhang Zirui was not affected by his murderous aura at all, and said in a calm tone, "The general knows why this plague started? My ability is limited. I can save the people in this village, but I can't save the people in the world."

Cruel officials are in power and corrupt officials are rampant, but these people come to embarrass him, a little villager, because he has no arms to stop the car and save others.

"Hmph, no matter what the cause is, this plague can't continue to spread. There is no solid evidence, and it's useless to say anything. Let's do it." Such a selfish, covetous person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, what's the use of keeping such a person.The general has become red-eyed, and has lost his nature in the killings again and again.

At this time, the soldiers surrounding the village raised their arrows with ignited and kerosene in their hands, ready to burn the village down.The villagers were even more desperate. They were frightened and ran around. The village head looked desperate and his eyes were full of sadness.

There were still people who survived by chance and tried to pass through the blockade of the soldiers and rush out of the village.

Zhang Zirui whispered in Wen Qiwen's ear: "Protect yourself and don't come over."

Before he could react, Zhang Zirui touched the ground with his toes, saw his figure flicker, snatched the blade held high from the soldier's hand, and rescued several panicked and desperate villagers from under the blade.Then he appeared in front of the general in an instant, and drew out the sword from his waist.The general didn't react too slowly, he stepped back sideways, and blocked Zhang Zirui's sword with his scabbard.

"Protect the general." The soldiers shouted, holding their knives tightly in their hands, and surrounded the two of them.

And several other soldiers stepped forward and slashed at the villagers who were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.Wen Qiwen stepped forward and snatched a soldier's knife, and overturned those soldiers who wanted to hurt the village name to the ground.

Everyone was shocked by the skills of these two couples. When did these two people become so powerful, they were really hiding their secrets.

"Bold, are you trying to rebel?" The general was forced to retreat by Zhang Zirui's fierce moves.

"So what, my nine clans are all in this village." Zhang Zirui said, stabbing out with a sword, picking up the sword edge, picking up the scabbard in the general's hand, and then turning the sword edge, the sharp sword rested on the ground. The general's neck.

"Damn it, if you fight, you're going to die anyway, so you might as well give it a go." Zhou's family members were bold from top to bottom.Zhang Zirui's words made them even more courageous.It is better to protect the family members alive than to catch them with nothing.So the boss of Zhou's town house led his men, and rolled up his sleeves to fight desperately with the soldiers surrounding the village.

"Stop it all." At this moment, King Cheng hurried over, followed by a group of people, it seemed that his people had already arrived.King Cheng looked at Zhang Zirui holding a general with his sword. Although the villagers were frightened, they were crazy about fighting with others, and there was a wry smile on the corner of their mouths.

Seeing the rescuers coming, Zhang Zirui took a sword flower, sheathed the sword in his hand, pulled Wen Qiwen beside him, and pushed it aside.The villagers also stopped their hands in confusion, and stood on the spot blankly.

"Can't you wait a little longer, sir?" Cheng Wang was helpless.

"Wait a little longer, maybe you will also be caught in the sea of ​​fire and you will not be able to protect yourself."

King Cheng glanced at the people around who pointed the rocket at them, his eyes froze, and his expression turned cold.He never gave orders to massacre cities and villages, but someone gave orders before he arrived.His eyes darkened, these people didn't think of a way to save them, they just blindly slaughtered the people suffering from the plague, and their crimes should be punished.

"Take down these traitors to me." The general escaped and was surrounded by soldiers for protection.

"King Cheng is here, who dares to be presumptuous." The guards around King Cheng stepped forward, drawing their knives out of their bodies, with awe-inspiring aura.The leading guard looked at the general contemptuously, but he was just a military general with a low official rank.

The general hesitated for a while before speaking. "The last general is rude, I don't know why the prince is here?"

"Are you free to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince?" the guard leader said, showing a sign. "My lord is going back to Panshan County, and you will leave with my lord to protect my safety."

When the general saw the badge, he knelt on one knee and hurriedly accepted the order. "The general will obey."

"Thank you sir for saving your life and Madam Ling for taking care of you in recent days. The plague matter is very important, and I hope you will give me some advice from the people I sent." Because Zhang Zirui refused to go to the county seat, King Cheng could only retreat and settle for the next best thing. , Send people to ask for advice when encountering problems.

"I will. The lives of the people here depend entirely on the prince." Zhang Zirui hoped that the imperial envoy, Prince Cheng, could do something so that the villagers would not have such a hard time.

Recently, the villagers have not enough to eat, and they are still worried all day long, whether they are worried about contracting the plague, or they are worried that the soldiers will slaughter the village. In short, for several months, the village has not had a peaceful day.

"I will, take my leave." Cheng Wang said with a serious face.

The guard led a horse, and King Cheng got on the horse and left with a group of people in a mighty manner.

The general's sword was taken by Zhang Zirui, as well as the knife in Wen Qiwen's hand.This can't be blamed on Zhang Zirui's greed for petty gains, since he has nowhere to buy weapons if he has money.

"Ah, I forgot to return the knife to them." After everyone left, Zhang Zirui looked at the knife in his hand belatedly and exclaimed.

"It's okay, it's all equipped by the army, and it's not a good sword. The prince will make it up for them." The sword is not a good sword, but the sword in his hand is still good. "This is for you to use, you can't practice swords with wooden swords all the time.

As Zhang Zirui said, he raised his hand slightly and threw the sword to Wen Qiwen.Wen Qiwen raised his hand and grasped it, holding the sword firmly in his hand.Wen Qiwu looked enviously at the sword in Wen Qiwen's hand.

"Let's use Ah Wen's knife for Ah Wu first, and I will get him a sword later when I have a chance."

Wen Qiwu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to take the knife in Wen Qiwen's hand and look at it.Da Zhuang and Xiao Shitou, who have a good relationship with Wen Qiwu, rushed forward, looking at the knife in Wen Qiwu's hand with envy.

The villagers who survived the catastrophe looked at them in awe. For them, the general was already a high-ranking and untouchable high-ranking official, let alone a prince who was the emperor.

But the Zhang family was able to subdue the general, and even the prince treated them respectfully.In an instant, Zhang Zirui, Wen Qiwen, and even Wen Qiwu became unfathomable in the eyes of the villagers.

Those who have offended them feel uneasy in their hearts, worrying that they will settle accounts after autumn.But Shitou and others are happy for them.

"Zhang Xiucai, it is thanks to you that Sanshui Village can be saved. On behalf of the villagers of Sanshui Village, thank you." a bow.The nearby villagers followed suit.

"Folks don't need to be too polite, everyone is from the same village."

Ever since Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwen showed their skills in front of the villagers, Da Zhuang and the others started to learn art.But they didn't dare to go to Zhang Zirui. Although Zhang Zirui had always been gentle, courteous, and cheap, everyone still felt that he was unattainable.

Wen Qiwen, who was originally good-tempered and gentle, was a good choice, but after all, he was a married couple, so we had to avoid suspicion, and he was married to Zhang Zirui.It is not easy for everyone to find him.

So the honest, honest and taciturn Wen Qiwu became the object of their entanglement.A group of half-children pestered him all day long, and those who followed him up annoyed him so much.

When Zhang Zirui had seen enough of the jokes, he waved his hand and allowed Wen Qiwu to teach those boys some sword moves, and how much he could learn would depend on their luck.As for cultivation, Zhang Zirui would not teach outsiders, no matter how good the relationship is.

But for this, those children are already very satisfied.Joyfully come to Wen Qiwu to report every morning.However, these boys also consciously filled up the water tanks of the two families and chopped the firewood after they came.

At the beginning of studying with Wen Qiwu, only Xiang Bei, Xiao Shitou, and Da Zhuang had a good relationship with Wen Qiwu.Then Zhou Tiegun came in, followed by his brother.

Well, Mr. Zhou's family is a good person, and they have helped them too. Teaching one is also teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching.Zhou Tiegun is here, can his little friend Stone Niu not come?So the grandsons of the Zhou family and the Niu family also joined in.

These boys can endure hardships, simply practice swords, without spiritual power assistance, the test is the strength of the limbs.Seeing those children's willingness to study hard without being afraid of hardship or tiredness, Zhang Zirui simply turned a blind eye and let them do the hard work.Anyway, there is no danger of going crazy, and what they can achieve in the end depends entirely on their luck.

There is a group of people practicing swords in the yard. Every morning when the little girl wakes up, she will hold a small wooden stick with great interest, waving it ha-ha-ha, and having fun alone.Judging by this posture, it is estimated that her unreliable brothers will raise her into a female man in the future.

The two little guys in Ping An, while watching other people practice swords, kept looking at their own little arms and legs, envious, and wished they could grow up quickly.

The sword in Wen Qiwen's hand, and the knife in Wen Qiwu's hand, became the most coveted weapons of this group of people.Just think about when you can have one!

It's just that Zhang Zirui didn't expect that his unintentional actions not only saved the lives of these half-sized boys after being captured as soldiers, but also turned them into tiger and wolf soldiers on the battlefield.At this time, these future generals are still drooling over an ordinary saber in foolishness, absolutely dark history.
