[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral

"Awu, tell your apprentices to let them grow more potatoes and sweet potatoes for storage." Zhang Zirui kept thinking about what Wei Xuan brought, and he also went to Panshanhe to have a look. He had a bad feeling.

But he didn't do divination. There was a price to be paid for spying on the secrets of heaven, so he didn't need to take such a risk.For the villagers, a reminder is also considered as his best.

"Brother Rui, will the drought last for a long time?" Wen Qiwu's expression also became serious.

"I don't know, it's always good to be prepared, and the current situation is a bit bad." Zhang Zirui said, and put a piece of dried meat for Wen Qiwen.

Wen Qiwen tilted his head and smiled at him, and also picked up a piece of jerky for him, and then ate his meal happily.

The two Pingan brothers looked at the eldest brother and then at the brother-in-law, and silently picked up some dishes they liked.I also saw the younger sister blinking her big eyes at the eldest brother and brother-in-law, and reached out to pick up some vegetables for the younger sister.

It's just that the three older ones didn't pay attention to the interaction between the three children at home, and were still worried about the lack of rain for days.

"I'll talk to them." Wen Qiwu nodded. Out of his extraordinary trust in his brother-in-law, he already thought in his heart that he would persuade those friends well later.

At this time, Wen Qi Wenwan had an extra piece of fat that he didn't like to eat, it looked greasy, he stared at it for a long time, then put the fat into Zhang Zirui's bowl, it was a pity to throw it away.

Ever since the two became intimate, Wen Qiwen also learned to act like a baby to Zhang Zirui, and sometimes he would show a little temper.This did not affect the relationship between the two at all, but made their relationship more intimate and casual.

Zhang Zirui ate the fat in silence, and didn't look clearly when he checked his food.And Wen Qiwu was almost blinded by the brother-in-law and elder brother's show of affection.

"Brother Rui, ask Aunt Wu and the others to store some food, or we can also buy more dried potato powder for storage." Then grow some food in Taoyuan Valley, so don't panic if you have food at home.

"It's all up to you, I want to go to the county tomorrow, Ah Wen, would you like to go?" Zhang Zirui is still an otaku now, he rarely goes outside, and basically stays in the village.

"Okay." Wen Qiwen agreed happily. He was thinking about saving something just now.

"Brother, I'm going too." The little girl didn't miss what they said, when she heard about going out to play, she excitedly raised her little hand and said in a childish voice.

Although the two Pingan brothers didn't say anything, their expectant and longing eyes would never be ignored.

"Let's go and have a look first. Now we don't know what's going on outside. Do you know if you stay at home obediently?" Normally, Zhang Zirui would definitely agree to their request, but the situation is different now.The three little guys were very sensible and didn't get entangled. They continued to finish the bowl of rice in a dejected manner, and removed the "relaxation" hand in hand.

The next day Zhang Zirui took some money, drove the donkey cart, and took Wen Qiwen to the county seat.I would choose to go to a county that is farther away, mainly because the town is too small and the news is far less well-informed than the county.

"Brother Rui, let's go to Uncle Er Zhu's restaurant first when we arrive in the county. We haven't been there for a long time except when it first opened."

"Okay, is there anything you want to buy?"

"I want to buy more soap and bath beans. What if they run out of stock in the future?" Wen Qiwen frowned. In the past, the conditions in his home were not good. Most of the hair was washed with plant ash, and the clothes were washed with water soaked in firewood ash.

Later, Brother Rui came and couldn't get used to those things, so the family started buying soap.When conditions are better, bath beans are replaced with bath beans.Although the price is a bit more expensive, it is indeed much easier to use, and the skin is smooth and comfortable after washing.

Maybe it was because the family was poor before, but now that they are rich, Wen Qiwen wanted to move things to the house whenever something went wrong.Just like a squirrel in the winter, he only feels safe when he looks at the piles of things at home.

"Okay, now there is no shortage of money at home, and there are not many places to spend money. You can buy whatever you want, and buy as much as you want."

Zhang Zirui smiled, thinking that being able to satisfy the little daughter-in-law's request could actually satisfy the man's sense of accomplishment.And now the family is indeed not short of money, let him buy it for fun.If the money is gone, earn it again, as long as the lover is happy.

The two wandered to the county town, first went to the food shop of Uncle Erzhu's house, saw that there were quite a few people inside, greeted each other, rejected Uncle Erzhu's warm invitation to stay, and the two went shopping on the street .

Wen Qiwen has been thinking about what Wei Xuan and Zhang Zirui said: "Nowadays, taxes are heavy and corrupt officials are in power. Once a severe drought occurs and the people are displaced, the victims will do whatever they can to survive and rob food. There will definitely be chaos..... .”

Once there is chaos, bandits are rampant, and caravans traveling around cannot be unimpeded, and there will be more and more things missing.

Wen Qiwen felt that he had a lot of things to buy. When his younger siblings were growing up, they had to buy some fabrics.Also buy more quilts in Taoyuan Valley. Thinking of the reason for extra preparations, Wen Qiwen blushed, and then glared at Zhang Zirui beside him.

Zhang Zirui, who was stared at, felt a little baffled, didn't he provoke him?It's just that the attributes of this shopaholic are not only for women, but also for twins, Zhang Zirui thought, and looked helplessly at the increasing number of things on the donkey cart, thinking that even opening a grocery store would be enough.

Seeing that Wen Qiwen was still purchasing, he silently followed suit as a porter.When passing by the study, he bought some agricultural miscellaneous books and medical books, etc. Wen Qiwen also bought some copybooks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones for Ping An.

Originally, he thought that the third and fourth younger brothers were not too young, and they had almost learned from Zhang Zirui at home, so it was time to send them to a private school, after all, there was a special teacher teaching there, and there were classmates who could discuss together knowledge.

As for whether the farm children will be bullied, he is not worried at all. Now that their children go out and don't bully others, it is their turn to bully others.And he is confident that the knowledge of his two younger brothers must be well-established among his peers.

This confidence comes from his recognition of the intelligence of his younger brothers, as well as Zhang Zirui's teaching.Since learning more and more things from Zhang Zirui, Wen Qiwen is becoming more and more confident now.

"Awen, after buying so many things, can the family use them all up?" Zhang Zirui finally couldn't help asking as he watched the addition of a lot of items on the donkey cart.

"Some are for Ah Wu and the others, some are for home use, and there should be some additions to Taoyuan Valley." Wen Qiwen counted with his fingers, feeling that he didn't buy much at all, and it wasn't enough.

Zhang Zirui had a black thread all over his head, so he let him go, anyway, since the car couldn't fit, Wen Qiwen could stop.At this time, he couldn't help but be thankful that he didn't have a storage bag, otherwise Wen Qiwen would have to fill the storage bag too.

Zhang Zirui guarded the donkey cart and stood in front of a salt shop. Seeing Wen Qiwen finally came out, he happily went up to help him get things, but the meeting between the two was interrupted.

"Hey, how come this Panshan County has such handsome pairs." A dandy dressed in satin clothes, with a round figure and a shiny face, accompanied by a few servants said, reaching out to touch Wen Qiwen's face.

It's just that before he touched anyone, he was pinched by someone's hand.The dude let out a howl like a pig, and saw that his hands were hanging down unconsciously, which seemed to have been dislocated.

"Some people are not something you can touch if you want." Zhang Zirui took out a handkerchief from his arms, and wiped his hands in distaste. In fact, he doesn't have a cleanliness fetish, he just deliberately disgusts this scum.

"You are all dead, why don't you fuck me yet." The dandy bared his teeth and asked his servant to avenge him.His complexion was also very exciting, first he turned pale from pain, and then turned red from anger.

It was only then that the servant following him came to his senses, looked around, picked up a stool on the side of the road, and rushed up.

It's just that Zhang Zirui didn't make a move this time, and Wen Qiwen, who knew that he had been molested, became angry from embarrassment.He stepped forward and kicked the person out beautifully with one kick.The spectators around were stunned, there is such a powerful Shuang'er in this world?

Just like that, Wen Qiwen was still not relieved, but was held back by Zhang Zirui. "For this kind of thing, let Weifu do it, just wait for me on the side."

As Zhang Zirui said, he walked away with a personable demeanor like a dandy, but the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth that should make people feel like a spring breeze makes people feel inexplicably terrified.He didn't use any cruel means to torture those people as everyone expected, but instead patted the rich man on the shoulder and pulled his clothes for him.

"Master's eye bags are swollen and his lower body is weak, it must be due to his incapacity. Do you often feel a dull pain in the side of the waist?" Zhang Zirui said, and tapped the dude's waist a few times, imposing a restraint on him.

Dandy didn't think the gentle and smiling Zhang Zirui was kind at all, but felt that he was extremely scary.When Zhang Zirui asked him a question, he nodded repeatedly, afraid that if he was too slow, the other party would pinch him to death.

"I'm afraid that this weakness will soon deteriorate into a disease of impotence."

After Zhang Ziruiyun said this calmly, he turned and left.Wen Qiwen glared at Zhang Zirui angrily, complaining silently, didn't he want to vent his anger on him?Why did he look sick instead?

But the dude breathed a sigh of relief, for some reason the man left, he immediately felt the pressure around him lessen, as if his breathing became much easier.

"Hey, I'll explain to you slowly later." Zhang Zirui pulled the sulking Wen Qiwen away.

It wasn't until the way back that he told Wen Qiwen that he had put a restraint on the dude, and that man would probably be inhumane for a long time.If he wants to use drugs to force him, what awaits him is lifelong immobility.

After he finished explaining, Wen Qiwen smiled with satisfaction.And Zhang Zirui began to think, should Wen Qiwen wear a mask next time he goes to a crowded place?The daughter-in-law is getting more and more attractive, and she is not happy at all.

"Brother Rui, there are people following us." Wen Qiwen found a little tail behind them on the way. He thought it was sent by that dude, right?

"I know." Zhang Zirui had already discovered it, but he didn't say anything.Driving the donkey cart, they moved forward slowly, but Wen Qiwen realized that they had deviated from the way home.

The person following them was sent by the dude.The dude's name is Qian Ming, the only son of the magistrate of Panshan County, and he usually likes to play with those twins who are different from women.On weekdays, he is also showing off his power in Panshan County, and he can be called a tyrant.

Today he took people to the street, he did not expect to see a very handsome Shuang'er on the street.Judging by the fact that his clothes are only ordinary cotton cloth, he can be considered to be from a wealthy family at best.

Just a pair, as long as he asks, the family will happily send it to him.With his status, in such a rural place, let alone Shuang'er, even the son of the family had to be sent to him.Fascinated by the beauty, he didn't even notice that there was an imposing man not far from Shuang'er.So he stepped forward to tease the pair, and then he was beaten.

After being beaten, the anger in his heart also came up. He has never been beaten like this since he was a child.Even if the two men were better at it, he was the only son of the county magistrate, and his grandfather was an official in Beijing.

Once the fear was over, Qian Ming, who was in need of a beating, trembled again.In order to retaliate, he asked people to follow Zhang Zirui and the others.On the boundary of Panshan County, it's not his father who has the final say, and he will be accused of whatever crimes will be placed on the man at that time, and in the end, the pair will have to climb into his bed obediently.

The more Qian Ming thought about it, the more complacent he became, as if Zhang Zirui and his wife were already kneeling in front of him begging for mercy.

The servants sent out followed Zhang Zirui and the others to a deserted village, surrounded by a piece of burnt-black ruined walls, and a flock of crows lived here, their cold cries resounding over the village.Let this village, which was originally like a * *, add a bit of yin.

"Daughter-in-law, no one has burned paper money for us for a long time. I bought something this time, and I don't know when I will have the money to go out next time." Zhang Zirui sighed, and his voice was full of vicissitudes.

"Yeah, since our village was massacred due to the plague, no one has burnt money for us. It's just that these children are also pitiful. They died like this and couldn't leave the village. The ghosts will linger." Wen Qiwen said in a cooperative voice.

"Hey, look at that kid, he was burnt to death, it's scary, don't look at it, daughter-in-law."

"We haven't seen such a ghost in these years, and we are still afraid of such a little guy."

When the people behind them heard this, they suddenly felt that the surroundings were full of ghosts and had a bad feeling.It's just that he dare not disobey the young master's order, and he is usually a bold person.

At this moment, the donkey cart in front of him suddenly disappeared, and it just disappeared out of thin air.The servant was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked around. There were no figures in front of his eyes, only two graves that had been in disrepair.Suddenly the servant was startled and shouted: "Ghost——"

Wen Qiwen looked at the back of the frightened stumbling figure that kept going away, and turned his head to look at Zhang Zirui. "Brother Rui won't be frightened?"

He also didn't expect Zhang Zirui to play tricks on people like this.

"It has nothing to do with us being scared." Zhang Zirui said, picking up a few unremarkable small stones on the ground and putting them in his pocket.The figures of the two and the donkey cart full of goods appeared in the dilapidated village.Just now, he just used the Lingshi as a cover-up.

"It's getting dark, let's go back soon." Wen Qiwen looked around in fear, and urged Zhang Zirui to leave.

Zhang Zirui smiled, never thought that Ah Wen, who has always been bold, would be afraid of these gods and ghosts.But he didn't poke it, and continued to drive the donkey cart home.

Qian Ming returned home in a mess, and asked a doctor to reattach his dislocated wrist.He anxiously waited for the person sent out to bring back the news, but he didn't expect that the servant's expression was terrified and trembling when he came back, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

Qian Ming was also taken aback by this situation, and he hurriedly asked the doctor to come and see him.After the doctor saw it, he realized that the man was overly frightened.In order to know what happened, Qian Ming not only invited a doctor, but also took medicine for the servant.

It wasn't until the next day that he learned from the servant what he saw and heard after following the couple.Qian Ming was also taken aback, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible to see a ghost in broad daylight.

And when I found out that the couple had bought a lot of things in the county, although a wealthy family could afford such a sum of money, it was impossible to buy so many things at one time.However, after learning that there was no money in these shops, Qian Ming secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was just about to conclude that the couple was playing tricks.

He only heard a servant beside him say: "Young master, I heard that the silver created by a ghost with profound magic power can remain unchanged for a long time, and people can't notice it."

Immediately, Qian Ming became suspicious again, and he was still a little scared in his heart. When the man approached him in broad daylight, he felt a chill.

Qian Ming, who had a guilty conscience, was even more frightened at night, so he found two twins to sleep with him.Of course, for someone like Qian Ming, it was impossible to simply sleep.It was only when he wanted to raise his gun to go into battle that he realized that he was immortal.

So he recruited a doctor and learned that it was caused by overuse, and he needed to take medicine for a period of rest to recover, which made him feel better.He couldn't imagine how boring the life of a eunuch or a monk was, it would be no different from killing him.

How could the magistrate of Qian Ming not know about Qian Ming's troubles?Knowing that something happened to his son in that area, he was angry and helpless.After seeing him, I asked him about his recent affairs.Only then did Qian Ming remember what that strange man said on the street that day.

So he started yelling, it must be that person who killed him.The magistrate was taken aback. On his own territory, his son was murdered, which is really unreasonable.It's just that he recruited many doctors to rectify, but he didn't see any traces of being tampered with. All the doctors' diagnoses were overused problems.

"Ghost, those two people must be ghosts." This time, Qian Ming, who was not very smart and actually not very courageous, was frightened.

County magistrate Qian didn't believe in ghosts at all. If this was true, those who died under his hands would have turned into ghosts and came to him long ago.After many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, he is more willing to believe that someone has manipulated him, and the doctors in the county can't see it.

So County Magistrate Qian ordered the head arrester to take the terrified servant to the deserted village to see if they could find any clues.Even though the servant didn't want to go to that horrible place again, he couldn't help it now.

It's just that they didn't get anything from this trip, and the only fresh wheel mark in the village disappeared miraculously in the middle of the village.The frightened servant kept yelling: "See, I said they disappeared suddenly, they are not human, go, get out of here, there are still many ghosts here—"

The frightened servant was obviously a little crazy, and he kept talking, urgently asking to leave here.

"Boss, this matter is really a little tricky, let's go." A policeman suggested to the policeman to leave with a panicked expression.The other three also nodded vigorously, very much in favor of this proposal.

The head catcher looked around and found that it was indeed unclean, so he led the people away in a hurry.When County Magistrate Qian heard the news, he was still very puzzled as to who had such abilities, so he ordered people to continue to investigate the matter.

Zhang Zirui and his wife, who had already returned to the village, divided up a lot of things they bought, and quietly carried the things that were going to Taoyuan Valley in the middle of the night.

And the group of boys brought by Wen Qiwu also told the family about storing food after returning home.Although people in the village can't save real food, they can still grow some things like sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The old man of the Zhou family and the old man Niu came to Zhang Zirui's house together when they heard the news.Although they had come to eat and drink when they moved in, they still felt that such a place was out of place in the village when they sat in Zhang's unique courtyard again.

Wen Qiwen made a pot of tea for the two elders, but his movement of pouring tea was stopped by the old man Niu.

"Awenna, your grandpa Niu is not used to drinking such precious things, just make me a bowl of sugar water." The old man Niu said with a smile.

"Old man, I'm not used to drinking this either, the sugar water is so sweet." Old man Zhou reconsidered.

"Okay, you two grandpas, wait for a while." Wen Qiwen said, poured a cup of tea for Zhang Zirui, and went to the kitchen by himself.

"Zirui, old man, I like to go straight, so I'll just ask. Did you get any news?" Old man Zhou cut to the chase. Now that there is no rain, and he asked them to store food, the two mature old men knew it well, so they just asked clearly. better.

"To tell you the truth, when Ah Wen and I went shopping in the county, we found that the price of food had risen again. The last time the price of food rose sharply was before the epidemic. And I heard people say that it might not happen next year."

"Hey, it's only been a few days since the end of life?" The old man Niu sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Grandpa Niu, don't worry too much. We are next to the Panshan River. If we plant more sweet potatoes and potatoes, we should be able to get through it." Looking at the worried faces of the two old men, Zhang Zirui persuaded.

At this time Wen Qiwen came over with two bowls of sugar water, put them in front of Old Niu and the others, and said a few words of comfort.

"Our Sanshui Village has good feng shui. No matter what disasters we have, we can survive without any danger. As you said, we can also survive with a variety of potatoes and sweet potatoes. If there is not enough land at home, go to the stream in the woods to plant The above is also enough. It’s just that the taxes and the refugees elsewhere, no matter which one, are fatal.” Mr. Niu said, the worry in his eyes became more and more intense.
