Bianshanhan [farming]

After three days of patrolling, I don't know when the return date will be. Everyone began to think about writing a letter from home. If they come back late and miss it, it would be a pity to miss it. Why not write it to Li Qingrui and the others now.

None of the dozens of them had any pens and inks. At first, they wanted to beg the old Xingtou to borrow them, but then they didn't know who, and ran to ask the exiles at the southern nest, after all, there were scholars living there.

They had the idea of ​​giving it a try, but they did. Knowing that most of them were illiterate, the other party offered to help with writing, as long as they gave them something to eat.

Scholars have thin skins. When Qi Min and the others came back, they said vividly to others that when those people asked for food, their faces blushed as if they were oozing blood. Originally, they had to pay for writing letters, so it was understandable to replace them with food. Don't know why it's so embarrassing.

Hearing what they said, Li Qingzhuo didn't mention the matter of helping to write family letters. He saw with his own eyes some people were shoveling snow while looking for frozen wild vegetables to eat. Those people were not as strong as these soldiers. It was even more difficult to get something to eat.

When they asked each other what they had written to their families, most of them scratched their heads and couldn't tell why.

He was also worried about his family. What he was worried about was whether his mother would go to the second uncle and the others for money because of the lack of money during the Chinese New Year. He also knew that no one in the family would miss him, let alone worry about him.

He knew this kind of thing very clearly, and he didn't feel uncomfortable for a long time, but he was a little disappointed.

After staring outside for a long time, Li Maoqun looked at Li Qingwen and asked, "Do you really want to stay here in spring?"

"No, I have to go back."

Li Maoqun was taken aback, Li Qingwen kept yelling to stay, but unexpectedly changed his mind suddenly.

Mentioning this, Li Qingwen's face wrinkled into eighteen folds, and he said with great reluctance: "My elder brother said that our customs clearance guide has only been approved for one year, and if we don't go back, there may be troubles. You will gain wisdom from a pitfall, and you will gain wisdom if you fall into it." Go back and lead the way, but remember to write the days longer, ten or eight years is the best, so as not to run back and forth again and again."

After finally making up his mind, there was a sudden change, and Li Maoqun showed a bit of disappointment on his face.

Li Qingzhuo saw it and asked, "Uncle, you don't want to go back?"

Li Maoqun nodded slightly, "I don't know what to do when I go back, and I don't have to worry about staying here. I also want to learn how to hunt from Jiang Cong and the others. Those rabbit skins seem to be worth some money... "

His family doesn't have much land, the crops are not heavy, and he can't find anything to do in the county town. He has no money in his pocket, and he feels panicked when he is free.Because he has never been married, the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are guarding against him like thieves, and they really can't stay at home.

He wanted to get some more things here, and sell the money back to his uncle and his second uncle. They are both members of a big family. They have supplemented their own family a lot over the years, and he has always felt ashamed.

Li Qingrui was still thinking about what to say, Li Qingwen said quickly: "Uncle, why don't you go back with us first, we'll come back after we've bought everything."

Li Maoqun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Qingrui, "Are you going to come back again?"

Li Qingrui raised his chin and pointed at Li Qingwen, "Look at Zaier, who can stop him."

Li Qingwen grasped that the soil in the basket was a little dry, and scooped water to water it. Hearing this, he said plausibly, "Look, our village doesn't have much land. The old and the young can't eat enough all year round. No one wants to go out to beg for a living every year." I know where to go. There is a lot of land here, and wild animals and wild fruits are easy to find. You can farm and hunt. As long as you work hard, you will never go hungry. If you dig good medicinal materials, you can sell them. We look after each other here, there is no disadvantage except being far away.”

Li Qingzhuo's medicinal herb book was taken by Li Qingwen, and after careful study, he found that there are quite a lot of medicinal materials here. If nothing else is mentioned, it is just Ganoderma lucidum. and buy cattle.

Li Qingwen knew very well what Yangshu Village looked like. It was very difficult to survive only by farming.The men, women and children in the village are all diligent, but there is only so much land, no matter how hard they work, they will be poor and miserable for decades.

His family's life is much better than many people in the village, but in Li Qingwen's eyes, it still feels far from enough.He wants to earn more and more money so that his family can live a better life and let Jiang Cong and the others regain their freedom.

This desire to make money, I really don't know how to realize it in Yangshu Village, but here in the border town he thinks it can be done.

Although it is remote, the land is vast and abundant, and the products are rich, Li Qingwen has only stayed here for a short time, and he feels that this land is like an undiscovered treasure.

When Li Qingwen heard about Lu Yin from his elder brother, he really didn't expect that he was not a fool, he knew he had to go back, so he began to think about his next visit.

They came in a hurry this time, and they didn't have many things ready. After they arrived here to live, they realized that they were missing this or that.

Hearing what they said, Li Maoqun felt relieved and said, "Then I will come with you when the time comes."

"Oh, you haven't left yet, did you just talk about it?" Jiang Liping opened the door and came in, brushed off the snow from his body, and said with a smile.

"Brother Jiang, your ears are really good." Li Qingwen looked behind him, and sure enough Jiang Cong followed in.

Li Qingwen leaned over and asked eagerly: "How is it? Have you asked, can we open up wasteland here?"

Jiang Cong nodded, but before Li Qingwen could laugh, he heard Jiang Liping say, "I'm afraid you won't be interested in farming in the future. Your brother wants you to use a pen instead of a hoe."

"What do you mean?" Li Qingwen asked, Li Qingrui and Li Qingzhuo also looked over.

Jiang Cong said: "The sledges and snow goggles you made will come in handy. Master Zhou wants a reward. I want to ask for a chance for you to take a scientific examination."

Li Qingrui was overjoyed, and said anxiously: "Is this true?"

Jiang Cong nodded, "Master Zhou agrees to write a letter of recommendation. As long as you pass the exam, you can enter Wenzheng Academy to study, and you can take part in the imperial examination in the future."

"But hasn't the imperial court's scientific research been stopped?" Li Qingzhuo asked.

He heard from Uncle Qin that it was the first of its kind in the previous dynasty that ordinary people could take part in the scientific examination, and it will continue in this dynasty, but the civil and military officials in the dynasty have not always agreed with it. Something bad happened, and the door of the scientific research was suddenly closed.

Li Qingzhuo likes to study, but his family is poor and it is difficult to support him. He chose to study medicine to treat diseases, but the seed is still deeply rooted in his heart.

"The ones that stop are only those from Xiatouzhou and County. The scholars in those academies run by the imperial court can always participate." Jiang Liping said, "Ordinary people have no connections and cannot enter those academies to study."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Li Qingzhuo said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Everyone was very happy, except for Li Qingwen, who glared at Jiang Cong angrily, "I don't want to! Don't make decisions for me, I just want to farm the land to make money, and I don't want to go to a school!"

He didn't want to study, not because he was afraid of hardship or tiredness, but because he was afraid of delaying his work.Studying does not happen overnight, it may take several years, even more than ten years. During this period, he is not sure that he can make money, which may not only fail to help the family, but also increase the burden.

He may never have time to come to the border town again, so how can he help Jiang Cong and the others regain their freedom?

Li Qingrui knew that this was Jiang Cong's good intentions. Few of the peasants can study. Such an opportunity is really rare, so he scolded: "Zaier, why did you talk to your elder brother Jiang? Jiang Cong is for your own good, you If you are so smart, you can't make mistakes in reading, which is more profitable than farming."

Li Qingwen was a little anxious, "I don't think reading is better than farming. Everyone needs to eat food, and farming can't fill their stomachs. I can read and read, but I don't want to be admitted to any academy!"

He has said this before, and now he is more determined. Li Qingwen insisted: "I don't want to be an official either. With my temperament, I am afraid that I will be reduced to a stepping stone in the officialdom. If I am unlucky, I will become a scapegoat. I don't know how I died. If I accidentally do something wrong and hurt my family, it will be too late to regret it!"

After he finished speaking, Li Qingrui and the others were dumbfounded.

Jiang Liping couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed loudly, "Oh, I can't help it, you can't write a few words now, you can't even say whether you can enter the academy! Even if you enter the academy, no one who is ten Where can I take the scientific examination in eight years, even if I take the examination, I may not be able to get in the top... Why, you are starting to fear that you will become an official after the examination, isn't it a bit too early?!"

For the sake of his younger brother's face, Li Qingrui didn't smile so obviously, and said: "Zai'er, studying is not an easy task. Those who can rely on their knowledge to enter the court and become an official are those who have learned a lot. Brother never thought that you must do it." Officials, knowing how to read and understand the principles of sages and sages is better than spending a lifetime digging through the dirt."

Li Qingwen was dumbfounded by what they said, and his face turned red when he realized it. He really never thought that he would not pass the exam...

It seems to be a little arrogant... He has forgotten that the study here is different from the era he used to live in, and his top three scores in the province of the college entrance examination may become zero here.

Seeing his younger brother's expression, Li Qingzhuo deliberately said: "Zai'er, you don't have to be afraid that you won't pass the exam. Even if you can't enter the academy, we won't say anything."

Li Qingwen said in a muffled voice: "Second brother, you are not proficient in aggressive generals, I don't accept this method."

Li Qingzhuo smiled and patted his head, "It's a pity that such a clever mind doesn't read."

"A clever head is better at farming." Li Qingwen glanced at Jiang Cong angrily, and said in a drawn-out tone: "It is for my own good to let me do what I want to do, and force me to do what I don't want to do, no matter how clever My brain is useless."

Li Qingzhuo's hands became stronger when he heard his eccentric words, "Talking to Brother Jiang, he will be chilled!"

Jiang Liping glanced at Jiang Cong, "What am I talking about, he must be 1 unhappy, right?"

With a helpless expression on his face, Jiang Cong rescued Li Qingwen's head from his second brother, and sighed, "If you really don't want to, it's okay to give this spot to other members of the family..."

"Can you let it go?! That would be great!" Li Qingwen cheered up instantly, "Give it to my second brother, he loves to read!"

Unexpectedly, things took such a big turn, Li Qingzhuo was stunned.

Jiang Cong nodded to Li Qingrui and said, "I was afraid that Zai'er wouldn't like it, so I purposely kept my word in front of Mr. Zhou. It's good that Qing Zhuo is willing to read it. He's already read a few books, and he's also good at writing."

Li Qingrui knew how much his second brother wanted to study, so he looked at Li Qingzhuo and said, "Second brother, what do you think?"

He didn't do everything he did to Brother Yao just now, because Li Qingzhuo had studied medicine for many years, and if he turned his head to study again, the hard work and hard work of the previous years might be in vain.

Li Qingzhuo said without hesitation: "Brother, I want to study, but I feel uneasy because I have failed my master's cultivation for many years. When I go back this time, I will kowtow to my master to make amends."

Dr. Lu took Li Qingzhuo under his door, and seeing him keep flipping books and practicing calligraphy in his spare time, he lamented many times that his disciple was born at an untimely time. If he had been able to take the exam in the county town in the past, he would have achieved something.

As a teacher, Dr. Lu always wanted his disciples to be better. If he knew this, he would be happier than himself.Li Qingzhuo knew that if he had this opportunity, his master would definitely agree, but the more it happened, the more sad he felt.

Li Qingzhuo agreed so happily, Li Qingwen immediately clapped his hands and applauded, he got rid of this big burden by himself, and the second brother could get what he wanted, it's not too good!

He spared no effort to flatter and said: "Second brother, you will definitely be admitted to the academy and become a high official, I believe in you!"

Li Qingzhuo bent his lips, "If that's the case, it's also thanks to you, Zier."

"Second brother, don't be so polite to me, we are a family." Li Qingwen said happily, no need to study, he is in a good mood now.

After the agreement was made, Jiang Cong took Li Qingzhuo to see Zhou Fengnian, and Li Qingwen chased Jiang Liping to ask about farming, and when he learned that he had hundreds of acres of wasteland, he was so happy that he couldn't help himself.

He happily circled around, "Oh, there are so many lands, I have to think about what to plant, let's grow some rice, sorghum rice is really bad..."

Jiang Liping showed his big white teeth in joy, and said to Li Qingrui: "Look at your brother, how many people can't get the opportunity to study, and he refuses to do it. I heard that farming is so happy, tsk tsk."

Li Qingrui smiled, "It doesn't matter if you farm the land. If you can grow something famous in the land, you are capable... But, boy, it's so cold here that rice can't grow. It's hard for you to eat white rice." .”

Li Qingwen was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have forgotten about this! ! !

There is a lot of water in the border town, and Guanghe and the others saw several of them. Li Qingwen had long thought about planting rice, but he forgot about the climate here.

Jiang Cong and Li Qingzhuo came back soon, seeing the unconcealable joy in the second brother's eyes, Li Qingwen knew it was over.

Li Qingrui was very happy for his younger brother, and thanked Jiang Cong, Jiang Cong said: "Zai'er should receive the credit, I didn't do much."

When they came back, Jiang Liping told Li Qingwen that he wanted to plant rice here, "Look, he still vowed to plant the land, but he didn't understand anything. It's so cold here, and the beans and wheat may not grow well." , Rice likes warmth and fears cold the most.”

Li Qingwen puffed his face and said unconvinced: "Brother Jiang, are you so sure that I can't grow rice?"

Jiang Liping laughed loudly, "Of course! It's not that I underestimate you, but that this place is really not suitable. To grow rice, you need not only water but also warmth. You can't grow food if you try hard."

Li Qingwen rolled his eyes, "I think it can be planted, how about we make a bet?"

Jiang Liping turned to look at Jiang Cong, "Look at it, it's not that I bully him, it's that he's going to give me a hard time."

Jiang Cong nodded, and Jiang Liping immediately said, "It's okay to gamble, just agree first, but you can't play tricks. Planting dozens of acres and finally getting a handful of rice doesn't count."

Li Qingwen waved his hand, "That's nothing. Naturally, it needs to be planted properly. How about this, when one mu of land here can produce 150 catties of rice, I will win. If it can't be planted within five years, I will count it." How about losing...?"

"Five more years?" Jiang Liping smacked his lips. The betting time was too long, and he might forget it when he turned around.

Li Qingwen said: "Of course, you also said that it is difficult to grow rice in this place, so I have to grope for a while."

If Li Qingwen brazenly said that it would be completed this year and next year, Jiang Liping would definitely think that this kid was talking big, but now that Li Qingwen not only talked about the yield per mu, but that it would take another five years, he always felt that it seemed reasonable, so he hesitated.

Seeing that he was going to retreat, Jiang Cong immediately said, "What's your bet?"

Jiang Liping looked at Li Qingwen and said, "If I win, you promise to do something for Brother Jiang. Of course it's not dangerous. I need to trouble you to travel a long way."

Hearing what he meant, it seemed that he had already figured out what he wanted Li Qingwen to do.

Li Qingwen nodded unequivocally, and said, "Okay! I agree. If I win, I also hope that Big Brother Jiang will do something for me."

The two of them agreed and clapped hands immediately.

After they finished talking, Li Maoqun couldn't help but asked, "Then what will be planted this year?"

Li Qingwen said without hesitation: "Those officers and soldiers plant whatever seeds they send out."

He really wanted to try it, but unfortunately he didn't have any seeds in his hand.

Jiang Cong said to Li Maoqun: "Uncle, it's the same if you want to open up wasteland. There are a lot of vacant land here. If you like a place, I'll go and tell them to set it aside and plant it. This place is remote, and the imperial court has not yet issued an order to deal with it. You should not have to worry about paying taxes and rations within the next three to five years."

"That's a good thing!" Li Maoqun said with a smile.

Jiang Liping next to him rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time before asking, "Jiang Cong, did you do it on purpose?"

Jiang Cong said without changing his face, "Why, do you think rice can be grown here?"

"Of course not." Jiang Liping said: "I'd like to see if he has any superpowers to make rice grow here!"

Li Qingwen said with a smile: "I have to think hard about what I want Big Brother Jiang to do."

"I've already thought about it!" Jiang Liping raised his eyebrows and said, "If you admit defeat earlier, I can show mercy."

Not listening to their bickering, Li Qingrui asked, "Jiang Cong, when are you going to patrol?"

"Leave the day after tomorrow." Jiang Cong said, "We're going to the north this time, and we may have to travel a long way. I don't know when we'll come back. I've inquired about it. After a while, those officers will go back to their orders, and a team of officers and soldiers will go to the capital to celebrate their birthdays." , you go with them, and you have each other's companions."

Li Qingwen was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say to leave in the spring, why did it turn into a while?"

Jiang Cong said: "It's snowing heavily here. After the spring, the snow melts, and the road is even more difficult to walk. Besides, at that time, the wild beasts came out of the mountains and were hungry all winter. It was really a time of rampage."

What he said made sense, Li Qingrui said: "This matter has to be arranged by Jiang Cong, no matter what, safety is the best."

Li Qingwen is still dying, "Then what about my land, I will definitely miss the spring plowing when it is reopened, and it will be wasted for a year."

"We'll take care of it for you." Jiang Cong said, "You can go back without worry."

Father and third brother went to aunt's house, and they don't know what's going on, they've been away for so long, mother and sister-in-law must not be able to sleep every night...

Thinking of this, Li Qingwen finally nodded.

Li Qingrui and the others were called to give advice on how to write a family letter. Suddenly, Li Qingwen's happy cry came from the next room. Soon, Jiang Cong and Li Qingwen came out.

"Brother, Brother Jiang got me a horse and wants to teach me how to ride it!!" Li Qingwen said with joy, his round eyes widened slightly, and he looked very energetic.

Before Li Qingrui and the others said anything, Li Qingwen had already dragged Jiang Cong away, and couldn't wait to see his horse.

A few people followed behind, Li Maoqun said: "He also said that he is not a child..."

Just now he had a mournful face, but now he smiled happily.

When Li Qingwen and the others came, the mule driving the cart was tied up in a stable not far from the hut. Because of the old Xingtou's care, there had been no shortage of fodder in the past few months. At this time, there was a sorrel horse beside the mule, and the mare was running. It lowers its head to eat grass, and swings its long tail leisurely.

Li Qingwen looked around, squinted his eyes and smiled, extremely satisfied.

Jiang Cong was standing next to the manger. Li Qingwen carefully touched the horse's head, and said excitedly, "Hey, to be honest, let me touch it."

"This mare has a docile personality. It is a foal of a war horse. It is not easy to be frightened. If you want to learn how to ride a horse, you must first learn to take care of her." Jiang Cong said, "If you take good care of her, you will know her habits. It's easy."

"Okay, I'll learn." Li Qingwen nodded vigorously, "I can run fast on horseback. If I learn this, I won't have to travel so long for the thousands of miles. Wouldn't it be easier to go back and forth between Bingzhou and the border town every year?"

Jiang Cong was stunned for a moment, and said, "You must first protect yourself when riding a horse, and then wait until you are proficient."

Li Qingwen nodded in response, and said joyfully, "Master Zhou is really generous, not only allowed my second brother to study, but also gave me a good horse!"

Jiang Cong smiled and said nothing.

Next, Li Qingwen discussed with Jiang Cong about how to train and ride horses.He also got on the horse. Jiang Cong held the reins at first, but after walking for a while, Li Qingwen was able to hold the reins by himself.

He yelled "Drive" a few times, and the horse would trot, which was much faster than riding a car. Li Qingwen was even more determined to learn how to ride a horse.

This horse hits Li Qingwen very well, and is willing to be close relatives with him, very obedient.

Like it or not, the time has come to say goodbye.

The night before, Li Qingwen approached Jiang Cong early and murmured, Jiang Cong agreed, and Li Qingwen was very satisfied.

Jiang Liping and the others all lamented that Jiang Cong had never seen such a good temper before, which really opened his eyes.

The next day, Jiang Liping, Jiang Cong and others all packed up and left with a group of soldiers. Their dry food was piled up on the sledge. It was said that it was three months' worth. After leaving, they would not be able to return in a short time.

The four members of the Li family collected all their letters and went out to see them off. To everyone's surprise, Li Qingwen looked very calm, and even told Jiang Cong to help him plant the seeds left behind. Although reluctant, but like a little adult, he told them to pay attention to safety when patrolling.

The patrol team left, and the blown snow and sand were blown far away by the wind. Seeing the group disappear into the snow, Li Qingwen shrank his neck and ran back.

The house where dozens of people used to live is now more than half empty, and Lao Xing felt a little uncomfortable, sighing: "I don't know when I will come back."

"It should be before the beginning of spring." Li Qingrui said, "With so many people eating, spring plowing cannot be delayed."

Li Maoqun nodded fiercely. He scratched a piece of land next to Li Qingwen's land yesterday. He measured it with his feet, and it was about eight to ten acres.There is too much open space here, and those officers and soldiers advised him to open more. There are many weeds here, and the crops cannot compete, and the harvest in the first few years of land reclamation was not good.

Li Maoqun never dared to think that he could have so many lands by himself, and he was afraid that they would be ruined if he couldn't clean them up. He felt that opening these for the first year would be enough.Besides, he has to go back, and he has to trouble Jiang Cong and the others about the land, which is too tiring for others.

The guards will leave in ten days, and there is not much time left. The four members of the Li family packed up their things early.

Jiang Cong and the others deliberately caught a lot of fish before they left, and they couldn't finish eating them before they left, so Li Qingwen thought about taking a few back, "This cold weather shouldn't be bad, parents and the others haven't eaten fish yet, so bring them back for you." They try."

Taking fish back from thousands of miles away is something most people would not do. Li Qingrui was silent for a moment and said, "Boy, we may not be able to go back directly."

"Where are we going?" Li Qingwen asked puzzled.

"These skins and medicinal materials have to be sold first." Li Qingzhuo pointed to those packed things, "We have to go to Fanyang City first."

Fanyang City is the largest city in the north, with many people and prosperous business. Many caravans stay there. It is more than 200 miles away from Liushan County, which is very close, but it does not belong to Bingzhou.

Li Qingrui and the others decided to go to Fanyang City, not only to sell furs and medicinal materials, but also to send a letter to Jiang Liping and the others. After all, Liushan County is too small, and there are almost no caravans and people going to Hongzhou.

Guessing the days, the weather would be warmer when they returned to Bingzhou, and if they went to Fanyang City for a few days, the fish would probably be stinky.

Although it was a pity, Lin Qingwen had to give up this idea, thinking that after selling things this time, he would have money to buy other food for his parents, so that's all.

That night, the four of them couldn't sleep. They were talking about their journey when they vaguely heard someone crying outside.

Listen carefully, it seems to be the wind, and after a while, it seems to hear someone calling for help...

Li Qingrui couldn't lie down anymore, so he put on his clothes immediately and got up. Li Maoqun was worried that he would go out alone, so he got up quickly, put on his clothes and went outside.

They went out for a long time and didn't come back, Li Qingwen and Li Qingzhuo couldn't feel at ease, and immediately chased them out with torches.

When they got outside, the crying was very obvious, and they heard the voice of the eldest brother at the same time, and the two walked over in peace.

"Help, help... My brother is sick, they don't care about our life or death... This, this barren mountain, where can we find a doctor..."

Before the two of them approached, they heard a woman's voice. Li Qingzhuo paused, turned his head and turned back without going any further.

The woman is an exile who lives in the nest in the south. She may be in a hurry. She ran out in the cold and didn't wear much clothes, and her crying on the ground became softer and weaker.

She didn't have much strength, Li Qingrui called her to get up, he could only be in a hurry, men and women couldn't kiss each other, and the men couldn't lift her up.

Li Qingwen was young, so he didn't have so many worries. He put the leather robe on the woman's clothes, helped her up, and said, "If you freeze for a while, you will die. How can you save your brother... Where is he? You lead us to have a look."

As soon as he spoke, Li Qingzhuo came over with a bag in his arms.

The woman's hands and feet were stiff from the cold, and she couldn't walk. Li Qingwen got anxious and picked her up. Old Xing ran out hissing, "Come on, I know where they live."

Li Qingwen is only fourteen, his body is not strong yet, so he doesn't have much strength, but the woman is thin and light, and the place is not far away, otherwise it would be a lot of effort.

They waded through the snow to the nest, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw several anxious faces inside. When those people saw the woman being carried back, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurried forward to bring her back.

The woman cried and said that the officers and soldiers ignored them, and the people inside all looked desperate, crying and saying: "I never thought that I, Sun Changfu, would end up where I am today. Hao'er has been dragged down by my father, and I am still here. Stealing life, my son is for me..."

"You girl is really reckless, Daheitian dared to sneak out, I see you, you want to die mother, you!" The middle-aged woman's eyes were swollen from crying, "Your brother is already like this!" , if you have any troubles, how can you let father and mother live!"

Li Qingzhuo squeezed in and interrupted: "Where is the patient?"

Those people were stunned for a long time, someone pointed to a bulge beside the fire, and Li Qingzhuo walked over.

Li Qingwen followed behind, explaining: "My second brother is an apprentice in the medical center, although he is not yet a doctor, it's better than you rushing here, let him take a look."

These people had already resigned themselves to their fate, but they didn't expect things to turn around suddenly. Several young people immediately fell to their knees and said excitedly: "Your great kindness, our Sun family will never forget it."

"I don't know if I can be optimistic about it now, so don't be too happy." Li Qingzhuo said: "How did he get sick, please tell me carefully."

The Sun family rushed forward, and Li Qingwen stood there silently. He always felt that his second brother was a bit ruthless when he was treating illnesses...

Listening to their symptoms while sounding their pulse, Li Qingzhuo drove the people around him away, took out a cloth bag from his bag, and removed the silver needles stuck inside.

Looking at the fine needles in the light, Li Qingwen's body unconsciously developed a layer of pimples, crossing his arms and thinking, it must be cold here too.

After several exclamations, Li Qingzhuo picked out a white thread-like thing from the patient's body from the silver needle, seven or eight in a row, the lying person's body shook and heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, the Sun family hurriedly cupped their hands in thanks, Li Qingzhuo said: "It's too cold here for you, you can't help it after staying here for a long time, you need to find a warm place."

Hearing what he said, Li Qingwen realized that just now, he was trying to save someone, but he didn't notice that it was like an ice cellar inside.

The Sun family said with a bitter face, "What the benefactor said is true, but those officers and soldiers don't care about us, we don't know how to build houses..."

Li Qingzhuo thought for a while and said, "Take the patient to us first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

The Sun family has nothing to do, and they are very grateful.

The torches when we came were already out of light, and a group of people were groping in the dark when we returned.

After Jiang Liping and the others left, many things were still left here, so it was not good for outsiders to live in casually, so the patients were only allowed to lie here with Li Qingwen, and Li Qingwen went to Jiang Cong's empty bedding by himself.

The Sun family couldn't stay, so they were a little worried, but Li Qingzhuo had already rescued people, and they were grateful for their kindness, so they obeyed his orders.

After tossing around like this, it didn't take long for the sky to dawn, and the patient had already woken up. Although he was a little weak, he had no problem walking, and when he got up, he kowtowed to Li Qingzhuo.

After a while, the Sun family came over and wept with joy when their son Sun Yonghao recovered.

Li Qingwen suddenly felt that it might be a pity for his second brother to give up studying medicine to study, and saving lives is also an important thing.

But this kind of thing is useless to anyone, after all, it still depends on what he wants to do more.

In the past, they had only met each other and had no close acquaintance, but now that this incident happened, the Sun family regarded Li Qingzhuo as a savior, so they talked about their exile.

Sun Yonghao's father, Sun Changfu, used to be a doctor in charge of the third rank. He was a loose official of the fifth rank. He offended the ministers of the court and central government, so he was exiled here. It's not that I have a good face, but I just don't want to cause trouble for my benefactor."

He didn't say anything, and the Li family didn't ask, they just mentioned that they should renovate their residence, otherwise this winter will be difficult.

When the Sun family heard it, they all smiled wryly. They were good at reading books, writing inscriptions, composing poems and singing songs, but they didn't know how to do such labor-intensive rough work.

The four members of the Li family had unconscious respect for the scholars, so they wanted to help when they heard the words.

It was dark last night, so I couldn't see clearly. When I went again during the day, I found that the place where they lived was no better than next to the stables. Half of it was underground, and all kinds of wood on the ground formed a triangle. It was just a cellar.

The cellar is not airtight, but they can't get firewood that is forbidden to burn. They only rely on the dead grass and bushes to burn quickly, and it turns to ashes after a while, and the warmth quickly dissipates in the cellar. It's spotless.

Fortunately, the quilt is thick enough, otherwise the family would not be able to endure it for so long.

Li Maoqun and Li Qingrui planned to build a heated kang for them. Anyway, they were free to help people to the end and send Buddha to the West.

The Sun family thanked them all, and a few young people helped to do it together, as clumsily as ducks.

Seeing this, Li Qingwen was a little worried, just like this, can they survive here?

Jiang Cong and his group were not only large in number, but also young and strong, with strength as much as their abilities, so he couldn't worry about it...

What he thought in his heart was written on his face, and Sun Yonghao smiled forcefully: "There is no crime that no one can bear, and who can live easily in this world."

Li Qingwen nodded, that's the reason, his family has traveled thousands of miles, so it can be seen that it is not so easy to fall down.

After a few days of work, the kang and fire wall in the cellar were finished, the fire was tried, and the place where the smoke was emitted was mopped with mud again.

The soft withered grass is put in first, and after it is lit, the shrub branches are put in. After the shrub branches can burn well, a layer of fire bottom is laid, and then dry cow dung is put in.

Although cow dung does not burn as fast as wood, it burns slowly and for a long time, so that the kang and the wall are heated up, and the inside of the cellar is also a little warmer.

As soon as the Sun family's matter is resolved, Li Qingwen and the others should set off.

Before leaving, Li Qingzhuo left some commonly used medicines for the Sun family.

He brought a lot of medicine packs this trip, but he was the only one who was sick, so there were quite a few left over. It was a pity to take them back so far, and most of them stayed with Jiang Liping and the others.

Li Qingrui made an agreement with Lao Xingtou that the Sun family would decorate the kang with horse manure, but Lao Xingtou agreed and kept asking when they would come.

Li Qingwen said to him, "It's not necessarily true. My brother told me not to worry. I'll wait in the county town for the guards to escort the exiles. Only when there are more people can I go north."

Old Xingtou nodded again and again, "Be careful on the road."

They had lived together for so long, so they naturally had feelings for each other. When Li Qingwen asked him what he wanted besides wine, Lao Xing thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.

Li Qingwen said that if you can't figure it out before you leave, I'll buy it myself.
