[Rebirth] Landscape and pastoral

When Zhang Zirui went to Doctor Bai to ask for medical advice again, he learned about Qian Ming from Doctor Bai.Qian Ming is considered a useless person now, and he will never be humane again.And the doctor who came up with bad ideas was directly sent into exile.

County magistrate Qian is just such a son, and now that he has become like this, he can no longer be expected to carry on the family line.So County Magistrate Qian married two concubines who were said to be very fertile.

When Zhang Zirui heard about this, he just smiled, maybe he had already expected today's ending on the day when he was banned.What he didn't expect was that County Magistrate Qian never gave up finding him and Wen Qiwen.

This day, he gave Doctor Bai some precious medicinal materials, as well as an old wild ginseng plant that looked good.Medicinal materials are charged in silver taels in the past, and ginseng is regarded as a thank-you gift.Doctor Bai was not polite to him either, and asked the sixth son to put away the things.

Zhang Zirui took the medical books that Doctor Bai had found and the manuscripts he had sorted out, and left the pharmacy for cloth village.When he came out, Wen Qiwen asked him to buy some fine cotton cloth and red silk to go back.Children's clothes, quilts, diapers, etc. must be prepared in advance to avoid confusion when they get them.And Wen Qiwen is the kind of person who suffers from himself, but can't suffer from his children. Of course, he must prepare carefully.

Zhang Zirui spent a long time picking and picking at the cloth village, thinking that this was good or that was good.So I simply bought several horses and made more at that time.Thinking that in the next few months, Ah Wen would not be able to wear his clothes, so he bought some more and made some clothes for Ah Wen.

When he left the cloth village, no matter how far he walked, he felt that he was being watched.He pretended not to know, and went to pastry shops and dried fruit shops to buy a lot of snacks. After thinking about it, he went to buy some incense candles.He held a pair of joss sticks, sniffed them from an angle that the person could see, and put them in the basket reluctantly, before walking out of the city contentedly.

After Zhang Zirui left the city, he went into the forest and disappeared after a few vertical leaps.The person following him was just an ordinary person, only knowing that he suddenly disappeared in the woods, and he was taken aback.He couldn't help but think of Zhang Zirui looking at the incense candle, looking like he had been hungry for a long time, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"Brother Rui, why did you buy so much fabric?" Wen Qiwen looked at the pile of fabrics tied up on the basket on Zhang Zirui's back, and felt that it would be enough for three children.

"Not many, children grow up fast." In Zhang Zirui's impression, children are worried about birth and growth, and they have to change their clothes several times a year. Didn't the little girl look the same every day before.

"But I can't do so much by myself?" Wen Qiwen worried as he looked at the pile of colorful fabrics.

"Who told you to do it by yourself, Aunt Osmanthus is good at craftsmanship, let her help with some."

"But I want the child to wear the clothes I made with my own hands." Wen Qiwen is very happy as long as he thinks of the child wearing the little clothes he made with his own hands.

"Well, just cut the diapers as you like, and make as many clothes as you can for the child, don't force yourself. I'll take these two pieces of cloth and ask Aunt Osmanthus to make clothes for you." Zhang Zirui said, picking up two pieces of plain fabric The muslin goes out.

"Brother Rui, I have enough clothes to wear, so I don't need to do it."

"You won't be able to put on those clothes after a while." Zhang Zirui said, and glanced at Wen Qiwen's slightly arched belly.

Wen Qiwen also understood, and blushed no longer to stop him.

Zhang Zirui went to Aunt Osmanthus's house with the fabric and a bag of pastries, and explained why he came.Aunt Osmanthus understood when she heard it, and happily accepted the deposit and fabric.Then he followed Zhang Zirui back and took Wen Qiwen's measurements.

In a few days, Aunt Osmanthus sent over the finished clothes. The clothes were looser and could be adjusted by belts.Wen Qiwen felt very satisfied, as expected of Aunt Osmanthus who made it with ingenuity and handiness.

The child in Wen Qiwen's womb was very obedient and didn't make much fuss.Wen Qiwen didn't suffer. Under the care of his family, his belly grew bigger day by day, and his figure became rounder.

After the three-month dangerous period passed, Zhang Zirui relaxed his rule a lot.It's just that it wasn't long before Zhang Zirui became cautious again as his belly grew bigger.

Zhang Zirui secretly showed him, and found that there seemed to be more than one in his stomach.Considering that his father once had twins, it is difficult for Wen Qiwen not to have twins.It's just that Wen Qiwen is the first child, so it's difficult to give birth, and the danger is even higher if you have twins.

Now Wen Qiwen is not making children's clothes in his own yard every day, or taking a walk with Zhang Zirui's support.They haven't lived in Taoyuan Valley since he became pregnant.It's just that Zhang Zirui brought back a lot of elixir and spirit stones, and placed an upgraded version of the spirit gathering array in the bedroom to warm and nourish his body.

It's the spring plowing season again, but it still hasn't rained, and the ground is dry and cracked.Now it is unrealistic to just rely on the water from the Panshan River to irrigate the fields. The water was watered the day before, and the sun dries up the next day.In this way, a large amount of water is needed to irrigate the fields every day. Even if the villagers can endure hardships, they cannot withstand such a toss.

In desperation, the village head asked everyone to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.These two things are not demanding on the land, drought-tolerant, and full of stomach.And sweet potato leaves can not only be used to feed pigs, but also can be eaten by humans.

Due to the drought, the woods near Sanshui Village are no longer verdant, but slightly yellow.The bamboo forest in the green sea on the back mountain of the Zhang family also turned yellow-green.

However, the water level of the Panshan River dropped a lot again, and it still didn't rain in June. The village began to organize sacrifices to pray to the heavens for rain.It's just that this prayer for rain requires a pig's head, a whole sheep and a chicken.

Chickens are easy to get, but pigs and sheep are not cheap, and the burden is heavy.So the third uncle organized the hunters in the village to go hunting in the mountains.

Wen Qiwu heard this, and took a group of half-children who often practice martial arts at their house to go together.At first the third uncle didn't agree, but old man Zhou and old man Niu both agreed, and he had no reason to refuse.

Zhang Zirui supported Wen Qiwen, stood at the door of the house and watched a group of people marching into the mountain.Now they don't have to worry about Wen Qiwu, and with Mr. Zhou watching, nothing will happen to those children.

They didn't know at this time that several nearby state capitals had been suffering from severe drought for nearly two years.Many people are starving now, waiting for the rice to go into the pot.I originally hoped that this year would be better, but God did not show mercy to them at all.

All of a sudden, various Ming and official rain-prayer ceremonies continued, and some places were even crazy enough to use living sacrifices.In these days, everyone turned a blind eye to living sacrifices, no one reported it, and the government was even more unwilling to take care of it.

"Is anyone home?"

"Yes, uncle and aunt, come in quickly." Wen Qiwen opened the door and looked at the people at the door in surprise.

"Awen, is Zirui at home?" Erzhu asked, they came today to discuss something.

"Here, you sit down first." Wen Qiwen asked them to sit down at the table under the flower stand in the courtyard.He shouted to the kitchen not far away: "Brother Rui, come here."

"Wait, come right away."

Wen Qiwen also sat down with Aunt Wu and the others, and then put away the half-made clothes on the table.

"Awen, you made this? It's really good. I also made some things for the children. Don't dislike it." Aunt Wu said, opening the bag she brought, revealing the cute tiger shoes and tiger shoes inside. head cap.

"It's so beautiful." Ah Wen happily held it in his hand. He only knows how to do some simple needlework, and he doesn't know how to do the ones given by Aunt Wu.

"As long as you like it." Seeing that Wen Qiwen really liked it, Aunt Wu was also happy.

"Ah Wen, drink this soup while it's hot." Zhang Zirui came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of hot chicken soup, only then did he notice how many people were still in the courtyard. "Uncle, Auntie, why are you here when you are free?"

"Hehe——Zirui really loves people." Aunt Yan couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhang Zirui was just about to feed Wen Qiwen soup one mouthful at a time.

"Ah Wen is working so hard now, he needs to make up for it more." Zhang Zirui took it for granted.

He stared at Wen Qiwen and drank the soup, then sat down, lifted the teapot, and poured a glass of water for each of them.This is for Wen Qiwen, so the teapot is filled with authentic pure mountain spring water.

"Zi Rui, the situation outside is not good. Your Uncle Shitou and I want to close the food shop first." The food shop was their hard work. To be honest, if there is no other way, they don't want to close it.

"Uncle, what's the situation outside now?" He hadn't left the village for several months.

"Nowadays, the price of grain is changing day by day, and even the price of salt has risen. If it continues to rise, many people may not even be able to afford salt. Our Panshan County guards the Panshan River, and the situation is better. I heard that several people nearby The situation in the county is a little bit bad, if the government’s relief food does not come down, it is estimated that many people will have to go out to flee the famine.”

"Well, let's close the shop once it's closed, and reopen it later." Zhang Zirui said, and glanced at Aunt Wu and Uncle Liu. "Auntie, I have no objection if your workshop is to be closed, but the people who help in the workshop must be arranged."

"Don't worry about that. There are still a lot of sweet potato flour and sweet potatoes in the workshop. If each person shares some, everyone can get through it." Uncle Liu was relieved when Zhang Zirui agreed.

"That's fine." Zhang Zirui nodded, and he wasn't worried about these families, because of business, each of them had a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes in stock.And they also have some money on hand, so they can save some food now.

These few people came today to talk about the suspension of business, and after they finished speaking, they sat down for a while and left in a hurry. They still have to deal with the aftermath.

"Brother Rui, do we want to save some more food for our family?" Wen Qiwen looked at Zhang Zirui.

"No, you forgot the grain you planted in Taoyuan Valley. If it's not enough, we can grow some. Anyway, the climate in the valley is not affected by the outside world."

"Okay." Hearing what Zhang Zirui said, he thought about it too. "Oops—"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zirui was taken aback by his exclamation.

"It's nothing, the child kicked me again." Wen Qiwen touched his abdomen and smiled softly.

"This little guy is really dishonest." Zhang Zirui said, touching Wen Qiwen's abdomen, but he always felt that Ah Wen's belly was a little bigger, what should he do when he was born?

After Wen Qiwu and the others went out, at noon on the third day, a group of people came back from the mountains.This time Wen Qiwu led the group of half-sized boys, but they stole the limelight.They not only hunted a wild boar, but also hunted two deer, and some hares, pheasants, and various large wild birds were quite rich.

It's just that the one on Wen Qiwu's back doesn't seem to be a prey, but a person?

"Brother, help him take a look." Wen Qiwu entered the door with someone on his back, called Zhang Zirui, and went straight to his guest room.

Zhang Zirui took the medicine box and hurriedly followed.Although full of doubts, it is still important to save lives.

Wen Qi put him on the bed in the guest room, staring straight at Zhang Zirui who had just entered the door.

The person on the bed was very embarrassed, his clothes were torn, and his naked skin was covered with abrasions and scratches.His face was smudged and his hair was messy and tangled. It could only be seen that he was a boy.There were no shoes on his feet, bloody, and there were obvious bruises on his ankles and wrists from being bound.

Zhang Zirui stepped forward and showed the boy. "He just fainted from hunger, and most of his body is just a skin trauma, but what's the matter with the bound mark?"

When he took a closer look, he realized that the boy was very thin and looked like he had been abused.

"I don't know either. I found him while hunting in the mountains and brought him back." If they hadn't saved this man, they wouldn't have come back so early.

At this time, Wen Qiwen walked in, and he walked slowly behind the two.It's just that he smelled a faint smell of blood just after entering the room, so he felt a little nauseous.

"Why are you here? This person's injury still needs to be dealt with, you go to sit outside first." Zhang Zirui said and was about to help Wen Qiwen out.

"Brother Rui, I'm fine, you'd better treat the child's wound first." Wen Qiwen looked at the lying person, who was probably a minor.It's just that the injury is so pitiful.

"It's okay, let Ah Wu handle it first." Zhang Zirui said, looking at Wen Qiwu.

Wen Qiwu nodded knowingly, but he looked at the dirty person on the bed and felt that he couldn't do anything unless it was cleaned up.So I ran to the kitchen and boiled some hot water.

The younger sister held her fingers in her mouth, and stood in the room looking at the older brother on the bed.Seeing Zhang Zirui who came in, she cracked a smile. "Brother, this brother has a beautiful crescent moon on his neck."

Zhang Zirui frowned, looked at the boy's neck behind the ears, and indeed saw a crescent-shaped birthmark, Wen Qiwu actually rescued a pair of children back.

Wen Qiwu, who came in with water, was also dumbfounded, and after a while he was about to cry and said without tears: "Brother, I didn't notice that he is a twin."

"Your eyes are really not very good, why don't you go and invite the pair from the west side of the village to take care of him." Zhang Zirui rubbed the corners of his brows, this Ah Wu had seen most of his body, and carried him all the way back.

According to the rules of this world, Wen Qiwu is responsible for this pair, otherwise this pair would not be able to marry someone else.This is really a frustrating setting. If you accidentally save someone, you have to get married.

"I'll go right away." Wen Qiwu nodded and ran out in a panic.

The little girl held her fingers in her mouth, tilted her head, and looked at her brother-in-law in a daze.Zhang Zirui picked her up and walked out of the house, even though he was married, he had to avoid suspicion.

The Wen family at the west end of the village has a twin named Wen Qixin, who is fourteen now.Because the family thinks that Shuang'er will endure hardship after getting married, so his parents and elder brothers love him very much.

He was raised by his mother as a daughter since he was a child, and his personality is also like a little girl.Their family has a lot of fields and a lot of labor, and they can live a decent life, so they have been pampered at home.

Wen Qixin was a relatively lucky Shuang'er, but Zhang Zirui only knew that there was such a Shuang'er, but he didn't expect him to be a character who was as spoiled as a big girl.So Wen Qiwu went to ask someone to take care of the injured, but was beaten out by Wen Qixin's brothers.This man is very courageous, his younger brother doesn't do that kind of job of serving people.

It's just that although Wen Qixin is a bit spoiled, he is a kind, intelligent and sensible child.In the end, he stood up, defied all opinions, and went to Wen Qiwu's house accompanied by his second brother.

Seeing Shuang'er lying on the bed, Wen Qixin recalled what happened to Wen Qiwen, and couldn't help crying. He was really lucky to have such a family.

Zhang Zirui looked at the sissy little boy, weeping at the patient with a sad face, and felt pain in his forehead.

"Ah Xin, don't cry, if you don't want to go back with Second Brother." Second Brother Wen saw his younger brother crying and coaxed him in a hurry.

"Second brother, I'm fine. I want to stay and help him."

Under Wen Qixin's insistence, Second Brother Wen finally agreed with him to stay and help.

Zhang Zirui explained to Wen Qixin in detail what he needed to do, and then found another set of Wen Qiwen's previous clothes.After a flurry of fuss, Wen Qixin finally scrubbed her body clumsily, applied medicine, and changed her clothes.

It's just that the injuries on those feet were serious, and Wen Qixin couldn't stop crying, but couldn't stop, crying and asking for help from several people waiting outside the house.Zhang Zirui wiped his face, what should he do if he really wanted to slap him?

Wen Qiwen originally wanted to say that he came, but he was heavy and he felt sick when he smelled blood, Zhang Zirui didn't agree with anything.Whoever caused the trouble would solve it, so Wen Qiwu was pushed in.

The girly Wen Qixin was taken back by Brother Wen. Before leaving, he was still red with rabbit eyes, saying that he would come to help change the medicine tomorrow.Zhang Zirui took half a bag of coarse grains from the kitchen as a thank you gift.Wen Qixin refused to take it, but Second Brother Wen took the food away without any hesitation.

Sending off the crying sissy Wen Qixin, Zhang Zirui heaved a sigh of relief.I couldn't help but ask: "Awen, are both children like him?"

"No, but he's a lucky kid." Wen Qiwen couldn't help laughing when he thought of Zhang Zirui's frowning and twitching of the corners of his eyes when he faced Wen Qixin.

Fortunately not, and fortunately his little daughter-in-law is quite normal.If Ah Wen was like that little crying bag, he would earn money to marry him off in a good way, and then run away quickly.Sure enough, it's better to have my own wife, who recruits people.

The couple threw the pair of children to Wen Qiwu to take care of himself, one went to the kitchen, and the other sat in the yard playing with the younger sister.Since Wen Qiwen became pregnant, Zhang Zirui and Wen Qiwu took turns in charge of everything in the kitchen, and Wen Qiwen was not allowed to enter.

After cooking, Zhang Zirui woke up the pair.Shuang'er opened a pair of big terrified eyes, sat up from the bed, and tried to retract herself into the corner regardless of the injuries on her body.At this moment, his face has been wiped clean, revealing exquisite and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Although his skin is a little yellow and rough, it does not hide his appearance.

"Who are you? Where is this place?"

"Ah Wu, a man should be brave enough to take responsibility. Since you are the one who carried the person back, you should take responsibility yourself." Zhang Zirui put away the silver needle in his hand, patted Ah Wu on the shoulder, and went to have dinner with his wife.

The two Pingan brothers never figured it out, didn't they just go to the village to look at the prey they had hunted, why did they have an extra pair of children when they came back home?

Wen Qiwu looked at Shuang'er with a frightened and alert face at a loss, and he who had always been taciturn didn't know where to start.Moreover, his father taught him since he was a child that Shuang Er is also very fragile and needs to be taken care of.Although his elder brother is not fragile at all, sometimes he is quite tough, but his father is indeed a fragile person.And the Shuang'er he rescued seemed to be quite fragile.

His father told him that Shuang Er's life was not good, so he asked him to take good care of his elder brother in the future.It's just that the eldest brother doesn't need him to take care of him at all. Instead, the eldest brother takes care of the family.

This pair of children is the first pair of children that Wen Qiwu has come into contact with besides his father and elder brother. In this pair of children, his father and father's earnest teachings have finally come into play.

"Don't be afraid, this is my home. I carried you back from the mountain. And the clothes on your body were changed for you by Shuang'er in the village." Wen Qiwu said, scratching his head, as if thinking of something, and then put the person on Dropped and ran out.

The pair breathed a sigh of relief and carefully looked around.The man talked for a long time just now, but he still doesn't know where he is?I don't know if it is already far away from the county?

At this time Wen Qiwu came in with a bowl of steaming soup and rice, Zhang Zirui didn't have time to cook porridge unless Wen Qiwen wanted to eat it.

"My brother-in-law said you fainted from hunger, you should eat something first." Wen Qiwu put the bowls and chopsticks on the stool in front of the bed, then took a few steps back and left the bed.

"Where is this place?" Shuang'er asked timidly.

"My family." After Wen Qiwu finished speaking, he couldn't think about it right. "This is Sanshui Village."

"Well, is Sanshui Village far from Panshan County?"

"It's not too far away. It takes less than three hours to walk. Is your home in the county?"

"My family is not there." Worried that this person would send him to Panshan County, Shuang'er's tone was a little excited. "Thank you for saving me."

"No thanks, it's just a little effort, you can eat quickly." After Wen Qiwu finished speaking, he turned and went out to eat.

"Brother Rui, do you think Ah Wu can do it?" Wen Qiwen looked suspiciously at his younger brother who was coming in and out.

"Awen, you have to let them learn to solve their own problems by themselves."

Wen Qiwu put away the bowl, and went to that room with hot water, he seemed to be quite caring.

"I don't know who that Shuang'er is, will it be all right?"

"Don't worry, Ah Wu is very skilled now, and that kid is not good at martial arts." In the face of absolute force, all schemes are paper tigers, even if the IQ is not good, the force value is high enough.

"But--"

"Come on, we should go back and rest." Zhang Zirui said, helping Wen Qiwen to walk towards Zhang's house.After leaving the door, I still didn't forget to turn my head and say to the Pingan brothers: "You take good care of my little sister."

"Understood, bro."
