No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!

Li Silang had to suffer one more time, and he cried in pain.

"It's time for you to tell me what you did with this cake." Li Dalang asked while applying the medicine: "Don't lie and say you ate it."

"If you lie again, my father's beating will be in vain. When you get better, my eldest brother and I will have to beat you again." Li Erlang didn't feel sorry for his brother at all. He had to realize his mistake after the beating. "You went out for so long last night just to get the cake? Where are you hiding it?"

Li Silang couldn't stand his elder brother's tactics and grinned in pain: "Ah - I, I can't say - ah -"

Li Dalang and Li Erlang looked at each other, understanding. Li Erlang asked calmly: "Why can't you say it?"

"Ah - just, it's just - ah - I can't say -"

Li Erlang was surprised that his younger brother was rarely so stubborn, "Did you promise that person that you can't say anything?"

Li Silang had no idea that he was being lied to: "Second brother, how do you know - ah -"

Li Erlang nodded and agreed: "Since you have promised others, you can't go back on it. You did the right thing."

Li Silang smiled while feeling pain: "Second brother, do you think I did the right thing? Where is the eldest brother?"

Li Dalang nodded in agreement: "Brother also thinks you did the right thing!"

Next, Li Dalang and Li Erlang didn't ask any more questions. It would be easier to handle after knowing this. Sure enough, someone instigated their younger brother to take things from home.

Li Dalang gave his brother good medicine and wiped his hands. "Okay, I have to take the medicine tomorrow, so you can just lie down and memorize it today."

Hearing that he would continue to take medicine tomorrow, Li Silang was so aggrieved that he was about to cry again: "Ah——?"

Li Dalang and Li Erlang walked out of the room and were about to cross the yard to find their parents when they were stopped by the little girl who had been standing in the yard for a long time. "Eldest brother, second brother, I have something to say."

Li Erlang was keenly aware of what the younger sister was going to say: "Is it related to Si Lang?"

Li Jiajinniang nodded: "Yes. Yesterday, my mother-in-law and I prepared new clothes for Shiro to attend autumn school. After the new clothes were cut, my mother-in-law asked me to find Shiro to try on. When I approached the study, I seemed to hear what Shiro was talking about. People talk.”

Li Dalang suddenly became nervous, fearing that his younger brother would be deceived: "Who is he?"

Jinniang shook her head: "The voice was too low, I didn't hear it clearly, but the strange thing is that after opening the door, I didn't see anyone hiding in the study."

Li Erlang thought: "Is it the roof? Brother, are there any people who have been exiled and fled to our place recently?"

It would be serious if an outsider came in without permission, and it would be abominable to deceive their family.

Li Dalang was also very cautious: "I'll go check out the roof later and ask my father to go to the village to find out if there are any outsiders. It's been a bit uneasy recently."

Li Jinniang was a little nervous, holding her hands and looking at her two brothers.

Li Erlang patted his sister's bun and comforted him: "Don't worry, my eldest brother and I are here, as well as my father!"

With her brother's comfort, Li Jinniang felt at ease: "Big brother and second brother, I went back to my room to weave silk."

"Well, don't be too tired! Shiro and I don't need new clothes."

Li Jinniang said coquettishly: "The third brother is coming back soon. You and the eldest brother both have new clothes, but we are still missing the third brother!"

"Okay, okay, don't be tired then."

When the two brothers came out of their parents' room, they went straight to the study. Dad Li went to the village to find out about outsiders, let alone deserters, otherwise their village would suffer.

If you hide a fugitive and deserter, the whole village will be held accountable.

In the yard, Li Dalang took a ladder and climbed to the roof of the study, while Li Erlang checked the inside and outside of the study. The two brothers turned the study upside down together.

Li Erlang searched it all over, standing in the study and constantly wondering if he had missed something, but he couldn't find any trace of that person.

Two or three feet outside the study room is the fence of their home. There are no signs of climbing on the fence. The person probably sneaked in through the courtyard door while the family was not paying attention and hid in the study. The person was very cautious and did not touch anything in the study. Things are arranged as usual. But the study was only so big, and there was no place to hide. Could it be that the man took the things and escaped?

But even if you escape, you must leave some traces, even half a footprint! Li Erlang looked in the yard several times, and there was no sign of outsiders coming in inside or outside.

What's going on now? Is it possible that that person can fly into the sky and escape from the earth?

The Li family is an ordinary farming family. The family is hard-working. After three generations of hard work, they finally saved some money, so they chose a place in the yard and built a study room to facilitate their children's education.

When it comes to Li Dalang's generation, the four sons and two daughters of the Li family have all gone to elementary school or are about to go to elementary school. The eldest sister of the Li family, Zhenniang, had gotten married a year ago. Li Dalang and Li Erlang had already finished elementary school. Afterwards, Li Dalang joined the army when he reached an age, while Li Erlang did farm work at home. Of the two remaining scholars, the youngest, Li Silang, is five years old this year and has just reached the age of entering elementary school. The family is preparing to send him to Qiuxue. There is also Li Sanlang, who has been studying for the longest time in his family. Now he is studying in a private school in the county and preparing for the imperial examination. It has been a long time since he came home.

Although the family is not living a wealthy life, they are well fed, clothed, warm, harmonious and happy.

They don't want their current lives to be ruined because of an outsider.

After checking the floor and desk, Li Erlang even cautiously opened the secret cellar hidden in the study. After checking, he determined that no one was inside, so he looked around again. There was a picture of a pine forest and thatched cottage hanging on the wall. It was brought back by the eldest brother after the garrison was over. It was a reward that the eldest brother received when he worked for the princes and nobles.

Hanging a painting is not something everyone does. I heard that this painting was begged from a temple and given to the master’s family. The master didn’t like it, so he casually gave it to Li Dalang. Then Aweng found someone to frame the painting and hang it in an empty space in the study. Decoration on the wall.

At this time, Li Dalang came down from the roof and patted his dusty hands.

"Brother, how are you?"

"There are no signs of climbing or stepping on the roof. The man was not lying on the roof talking to Shiro." Li Dalang searched to no avail and pinned his hope on Li Erlang's discovery: "What did you find?"

Li Erlang shook his head: "Nothing was found. It's so strange. Who did Silang give the cake to, but it can't be found?"

"Yeah, it's so strange. We can only wait for my father to come back and see if there is any news from him. If not, even if he asks Shiro to break his promise, he will have to question him." Li Dalang is not an indecisive person. There is nothing more dangerous than the safety of his family. More importantly: "When we find that person, we will first admit his mistake for Shiro. After all, we are the ones who forced him to break his promise."

The two brothers stayed for a while, and then left the study without noticing anything.

In the painting, Ji Qingyue was frightened. He didn't expect that things would become such a big deal, and that two biscuits would arouse such serious suspicion in the Li family!

If Li Silang confessed him, Ji Qing understood more and more that with the Li family's trust in each other, no matter how absurd it was, they would definitely believe Li Silang's words and target him.

At this time, Ji Qingyue didn't know that the Li family didn't care much about the lost Hu Bing. They were more worried that outsiders were involved, and it might expand to the point of hiding fugitives.

The busy autumn harvest has ended not long ago. It stands to reason that this year is almost busy. After paying taxes, you can rest. But this year, the Li family has one more job - to reclaim wasteland.

Except for Li Silang, everyone in the Li family gathered in the main room.

In the northern yard, there are not many houses but the yard occupies a large area. Originally, the Li family only had one main house with two side rooms next to it. Later, when they had more children, they gritted their teeth and built a house on the left and right side of the main house. The boy and his daughter lived separately, and then a study was added. After excluding the barns, granaries and toilets, the remaining open space in the yard was enough to open a large vegetable patch.

The reason why they can occupy such arrogant land is due to the characteristics of the place where they live - the land is vast and sparsely populated, unlike the thousands of hectares of fertile land gifted by the gods in the Northeast. This was originally barren wasteland, and it was all due to subsequent land reclamation. It was grown bit by bit by three generations of them.

As early as the beginning of the land occupation, Mr. Li directly circled a large open space on his farmland to serve as a homestead, and it looked like there would be an acre or two of land.

The whole family was waiting for Dad Li and had no intention of having breakfast.

After a while, Dad Li walked into the yard with his hands behind his back. Li Erlang hurried out of the house to greet him: "Dad, how are you? Have people in the village noticed outsiders recently?"

Dad Li glanced at his irritable second son: "Go in and talk."

After sitting down, Aunt Li handed over a piece of cake. Aunt Li took a bite before saying, "I walked around and there was no news of outsiders coming in..."

After Li's father said a word, Li's mother became anxious and quickly interrupted: "This is not easy to worry about!" Li's father looked at his irritable wife, comforted her with his eyes, and continued: "I haven't explained this matter yet. Clearly inform Muramasa and Satomasa, firstly because we have not found any trace of this person, and secondly because of my selfish motives. After all, this matter involves Shiro, we still have to be careful..."

Aunt Li stood up again nervously. Aunt Li, who was sitting at the other end of the bench, almost stumbled and stood up holding the pancake: "Why are you panicking? The most important thing now is to ask Shiro who is that person! You I know what kind of temper the son you gave birth to will be willing to accept death even if you break the stick..."

"Why! I am the only one who gave birth to my son!" Aniang Li glanced at Li Dalang and Li Erlang and scolded directly: "They are all careless and stubborn!"

Li Dalang and Li Erlang didn't dare to speak out after being implicated. After all, when they were young, they really didn't fight less because of their stubbornness. Sometimes when they accepted the truth, they couldn't turn around.

It’s no wonder that Aunt Li and Aniang Li were worried and worried that Li Silang’s mouth could not be pried open. This was the same problem they discovered bit by bit in other children.

Surprisingly consistent.

Li Dalang is twenty-two years old and got married just two years ago. It is too late for a man in the village to marry at age 20. All the men in the same village are fathers of two children at the age of 20. In their family, Aweng Li married at the age of 16 and Adi Li married at the age of 17. Li Dalang married late because of a man-made accident, and the marriage was delayed for four years.

About six years ago, before Mrs. Li Xu got married, the village suffered a military riot. When counting the casualties, it was found that the Xu family's father might have been running away in a panic and accidentally fell into a ditch and died. At the same time, a small number of villagers died. . The most tragic and infuriating thing is that several women in the village were kidnapped and escaped after a night. When they came back, they were bruised and naked. The scene was indescribably desolate.

When the news came, the Li family knew that the Xu family had also been kidnapped, especially Li Aniang, who cried as soon as she heard the news.

It's over now. Li Dalang was sixteen and the Xu family was fifteen. The two families had been engaged for a long time and planned to get married after the autumn harvest. Unexpectedly, a war broke out.

At that time, both Aunt Li and Aweng Li were in the army, so Aniang Li had no choice but to terminate the engagement with the Xu family. The Xu family could not marry in!

After hearing this, Li Dalang quietly packed his bags and rushed to Xu's village overnight. When he arrived at Xu's home, he saw the panicked Xu family and the Xu family who was making a fuss about committing suicide. Without saying anything, he fried Xu's house. A bowl of red flower soup only said: "If there are no children in the future, I will adopt one from my brothers."

Mrs. Xu was also strong-willed, and without saying a word, she had a stomachache for several days after eating a bowl of safflower soup. Li Dalang helped the Xu family with funeral arrangements during the day, and slept with Mrs. Xu at night. He did not shy away from outsiders and did not care what outsiders said. He only said to Mrs. Xu: "I only recognize you."

It took two days for Aunt Li to realize that her eldest son was missing, so she quickly took ten-year-old Li Erlang and thirteen-year-old Li Zhenniang to Xu's house. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at Xu's house, she heard that her eldest son had slept in Xu's room for several nights. She was so angry that she almost fainted. What was even more annoying was that her second son even hummed: "The eldest brother slept in my sister-in-law's room. It’s only natural.”

I’m so angry! I’m so angry! She should have found out that her eldest son was not at home the next day and rushed to pick him up. Unexpectedly, her second son and eldest daughter were actually calling her to cover her eldest son. It took her two days to find out that her eldest son was not at home. !

Aniang Li was so angry that she couldn't speak. She and her eldest son looked at each other in silence. Later, she was told that her eldest son had given Xu a red flower soup. She was so angry that she pointed at her eldest son's nose and cursed: " Evil obstacles are all evil obstacles."

On the night of the memorial ceremony at the Xu family, Li Dalang talked with Li Aniang all night and talked about the adoption. Li Aniang asked: "What if Erlang doesn't recognize it!" Li Erlang pretended to be asleep and listened secretly, and finally couldn't help but say: " I admit it! If I can't give birth to a son, I still have Sanlang." Poor Sanlang was only nine years old at the time. Before he grew up, the child was already taken care of by his two brothers.

Her son was firm and Mrs. Xu was innocent, so Aniang Li had no choice but to agree.

Mrs. Xu observed her father's mourning for three years, and then married into the Li family in the fourth year. Two years after they got married, they were lucky enough to have a son, who is now over one year old.

After experiencing Xu's incident, Li Dalang became increasingly calm and no longer made his mother angry. However, Li Erlang had already taken over the responsibility and was no less irritating.

Now Li Aniang is used to it, but she is still worried in her heart that Erlang's ability to irritate people will be even better in the future.

Buddha bless.

Mrs. Li Xu held her son in her arms and listened to her parents-in-law arguing with a smile on her lips. Aunt Li turned around and saw her eldest daughter-in-law holding her eldest grandson. She thought deeply and went over to tease him: "Tuanlang, please don't imitate your uncles and uncles. From now on, Don’t be angry with your mother-in-law.”

After making a plan to trick Li Silang out of his mouth, Li's father mentioned Li Erlang's account entry by the way: "Erlang, now that you are sixteen years old, you went to the government yesterday to officially register and enter the account. The government also posted a notice setting the rules for payment of grain and income. On the day when the land is measured, a messenger will come to measure the land. How do you plan to plant the one hundred acres of land you have been allocated?"

Li Erlang had thought about it a long time ago and spoke out his plan eloquently: "There are still twenty acres in my father's name, eighty acres in my father's name, and seventy acres in my elder brother's name. There are grains, beans, wheat, and millet. Mulberry, apricot, jujube and pear. With so much land, we are already busy enough. It is not realistic for me to grow grain in these 100 acres, and the land allocated may not be suitable for growing grain. I plan to select some carefully managed and planted grain. , to pay enough for my own grain tax, I will also plant some fruit trees in the remaining part. Fruit trees grow slowly and will bear fruit after several years of planting. There are others, waiting for me to think about it. I think in a few years I will be with you. Sanlang has reached the age of marrying a wife and having children, which will cost a lot of money, and Sanlang still has to study, so he will definitely not be able to farm. I heard that spices are valuable and can be produced quickly, and one crop a year can be sold for a lot of money."

Aunt Li sighed after hearing this: "You think so well."

Seeing that his son had already made up his mind, Father Li stopped talking too much: "Your mother and I have to worry about getting a wife. After the land is allocated, we will go to the remote wilderness together. You can see how you plant it. If you really can't plant it, , just sell it to make some money."

Li Erlang disagreed: "Dad, I don't want to sell the land yet."

"It's up to you."
