Little Zhuangtou and the Great General

005

Not long after the old man left, there was lightning and thunder outside, as if it was going to rain.

Shen Miao was overjoyed. The weather in this place was quite similar to Jiangsu and Zhejiang where he lived in modern society. It often rained in spring, especially around Qingming, and it rained at night. When it rained, it would be accompanied by thunderstorms, but it did not hinder the amount of rainfall. Basically enough for the next night.So he quickly packed up the utensils on hand, left a pot to cook porridge, and moved the rest to the patio, lined up one by one along the eaves, ready to catch the rainwater.He went outside again, brought the horse in, and found a dry place in the living room for the horse to live in.

After doing this, the big raindrops have fallen, and it rose to heavy rain in an instant.

Looking at the dense falling water under the eaves, Shen Miao misses the kind of foreign iron sink installed under the eaves of her grandma's house when she was a child, and installed a circle along the eaves, and then installed water pipes next to the wall. The water pipe flows into the water tank.Convenient, quick and efficient!It's a pity that I don't have any at the moment, and I don't know if iron is expensive in this era. If it is not expensive, I will make one another day.

The aroma of brown rice porridge has already wafted away. Brown rice is the caryopsis after removing the outer protective layer of the rice paddy. Compared with the rice that Shen Miao used to eat in that era, it has an extra layer of fiber, the taste is much worse, and it is not easy to cook. It is cooked, but it is much more nutritious. It is regarded as a green and healthy food, and is very popular with healthy eaters. Shen Miao's mother often cooks it to drink, so Shen Miao also knows it and knows how to eat it.

The horse obviously also smelled the aroma of brown rice porridge, and moved its nose towards the wing.

Shen Miao saw it with the faint light, and filled a small bowl for the horse to drink, and reminded with a smile: "It's a bit hot, drink it when it's cold."

Ma seemed to know that Shen Miao's brown rice porridge was hard to come by, so he just smelled it and gently pushed the bowl back.

Shen Miao smiled and patted the horse's head: "It's okay, put more water, and there is a big pot, it's totally enough."

Ma Jiang was skeptical, so Shen Miao had no choice but to lift the lid of the pot. He did put a lot of water in it. It looked like a big pot, so Ma lowered his head and drank slowly.

Shen Miao filled the bowl again, picked up the spoon she found in the corner of the kitchen, and carefully fed the man mouthful.The man's teeth were clenched tightly because of the fever, and it was not very easy to feed at first, but later Shen Miao found the trick, and opened it a little harder before feeding.It’s just that you can’t feed too much in this way, or you will choke, so it takes a lot of time to feed a bowl.

After the feeding was finally finished, Shen Miao filled the bowl herself, sat on the overturned pier in the kitchen, warmed the fire, covered the bowl and drank slowly. After two days and one night of distress, such a dilapidated and simple environment It actually made him feel the warmth he had never had before.

In addition to being warm, Shen Miao began to think about the issue of survival again.

There are no people in such a living environment, and it is impossible to pay rent by farming cash crops. There are only two ways in front of him. One is to find a safe way to leave here within a few days; In the next time, find some properties in the mountains that can be exchanged for money to pay rent.

The difficulty of the former is that he is not familiar with this mountain at all, and he doesn't know how to get out?I don't know where the person arranged by the master of Zhuangzi intercepted Zhuangtou?How was it intercepted?And the person he brought is also a problem, can he wake up within seven or eight days?Can I leave immediately when I wake up?

Compared with the former, the latter can ignore the issue of the seriously injured person for the time being. This person is physically strong and should have a good physique. As long as there is enough time, the wound should be cleaned up in time without causing inflammation, and he should be able to wake up in ten and a half months.But he didn't know how to farm at all. He did grow up in the countryside when he was a child, but it was a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the residents in the town were engaged in business rather than farming. At most, they grew simple vegetables in their yards.The situation in the mountains is very different from the situation in the plain countryside, and there is no way to refer to it. Where can he find products that can be exchanged for money?

Shen Miao had a headache, after several considerations, he decided to ask the old man tomorrow, and make a final decision after learning more about Zhuangzi's other situations.

After thinking about these things, Shen Miao began to solve the things that urgently needed to be solved. The clothes of that person were thin, and it was cold in the mountains at night. Even if a charcoal fire was set up all night, he would get sick from the cold.Shen Miao thought about borrowing a quilt from the old man, but according to the memory of the day, the old man's room was covered with a layer of dry grass, and there was no cover.

If this way doesn't work, then we can only use the primitive method. Shen Miao glanced at the man's strong muscles, showed a earned expression, and said with a smile: "There is no other way, let's sleep together."

The horse immediately snorted outside the house, stuck its head in and shook it a few times.

Shen Miao understood and comforted: "Okay, I know this is wrong, but think about it, I have nowhere to sleep, and he has nothing to cover, if we don't sleep together, maybe both of us will catch cold and be unable to get up tomorrow." , wouldn't that be worse?"

The horse had no choice but to shrink his head back and half closed the door.

Shen Miao smiled and said in her heart that this horse is really spiritual, knowing how to keep privacy for them, and also knowing that there is a fire in the house and the door cannot be fully closed.Thinking of Shen Miao lying on the bed and sleeping on both sides of that person, I don't know if it was too tired or it was warm to sleep next to that person, Shen Miao fell asleep quickly.

Early the next morning, Shen Miao was awakened by an extremely indifferent and terrifying sense of staring at him. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the old man hunched over and leaning on a hatchet looking at him.

Shen Miao was startled: "You, why are you here?"

The old man snorted coldly: "It's already three poles in the sun, I saw you didn't get up, so I came over to have a look."

It turned out to be like this, Shen Miao hurriedly said with a smile: "Thank you, I'm fine, I'm just too tired and overslept."

The old man's attitude did not change, he pointed at the man and said coldly: "You seem to be fine, but he is not fine."

"What's the matter?" Shen Miao hurriedly checked, touched it, it was hotter than yesterday, and even started to twitch slightly.

It's broken, it must have caught a cold.Although he slept next to this person last night, he was fished out of the water at the beginning, and he was wearing very little clothes when he was nailed into the coffin. Even if he was next to him, the person did not cover him much. .

This is not going to work. Once a fever occurs and convulsions are a dangerous omen, you must seek medical attention immediately.Shen Miao hurriedly asked the old man: "Old man, can you tell me the way out of the village, I will take him to see a doctor."

"No." The old man flatly refused.

"Why? This is a matter of life and death." Shen Miao was surprised, and couldn't help raising her voice.

The old man was unmoved: "Because it's life and death, so I can't say it."

"Why?"

"There are only doctors who come out of Huangjian'ao Village. You are the head of this village. Once you go out of Huangjian'ao Village, you will be regarded as an escape, and you will be arrested and chopped down." The old man replied.

"How could this be? This Zhuangzi has a radius of more than ten miles, and it is very barren. If you really want to leave, just choose your route carefully. How could you be discovered as soon as you leave the village? Besides, the management is so strict, if you want to take it with you What if the products in the village are sold in the market?" Shen Miao asked.

"Sell?" The old man laughed unceremoniously, "You really don't know anything about this Zhuangzi?"

"How to say?" Shen Miao asked.

"Didn't I say yesterday that this Zhuangzi was deliberately punished by Yang Xingfeng by Dong Chang. Since it was intentional, there are naturally some unreasonable and weird requirements, such as the form of renting a son. Dong Chang specifically explained that the handover must be submitted by the Zhuangzi. The planted products are not allowed to be replaced by other products, let alone the income from business. If possible, dig more in those collapsed tunnels, and any bloodstone dug out can be worth the rent of a family Otherwise, Yang Xingfeng secretly ordered someone to pretend to be a businessman, and bought the farmers in the village at a high price. Wouldn't he be able to fulfill Dong Chang's request? Why would he change the head of the village every ten days? And cut so many Zhuangtou?" The old man smiled sarcastically, "As for what you said about finding a way to leave, your idea is indeed right, there are indeed exits everywhere in the mountains, but you forgot that the villages bordering Huangjian'ao Village all belong to Yang Xingfeng, and there are indeed villages. Tou escaped, and was rescued and hid by those people in the village, but was discovered by Yang Xingfeng. In order to prevent such a thing, Yang Xingfeng killed the family who hid in the village, and even sat down with relatives of that family. Since then, No matter how farmers dare to hide the head of the village, even if a stranger who is not the head of the village enters the village, they will be alerted and immediately report to the head of the village.”

"!!" Shen Miao was speechless, "This...is there still a king's law?"

"Wang Fa?" The old man sneered, "The imperial court is already in danger, so how can it manage such a thing? Do you know who Yang Xingfeng is? His brother Yang Xingmi is the governor of Luzhou and the envoy of the Luzhou regiment, and his sister Yang Xingwan is Dong Chang's official wife." Dong Chang loves him very much, but also deeply hates him and is jealous. He dare not complain directly to him, so he can only vent his anger on Yang Xingfeng. Venting his anger, Dong Chang will not touch him for the time being, and his actions are just Open one eye and close one eye."

"Then what should we do?" Shen Miao was in a hurry, all the way was blocked.

The old man looked at Shen Miao with more cold and sarcastic eyes: "Why are you so cheap? You have to save this person?"

"Cheap?" Shen Miao was taken aback, and couldn't help but get angry, "How can saving someone be called cheap?"

"Isn't it?" The old man snorted coldly.

Shen Miao was angry.
