Farmer's Notes from Another World

Shopkeeper Liu almost stopped when he heard it.Fang Zhiyuan supported him quickly with his eyes and hands. When he lowered his body and brushed past him, he heard shopkeeper Liu say: "Why is this? How did I get such news?" However, his voice was so low that it was almost as if he hadn't said anything. It wasn't for the strength in his hand just now, Fang Zhiyuan thought he was hallucinating.

Liu Zhuang watched and said nothing.Shopkeeper Liu may also know that he has lost his composure.After calming down, I tried my best to smile at Liu Zhuang, and said: "My child, I am old, and there are too many people who came with me. I can't remember it for a while. Why don't you go first Go back, wait for me to think about it carefully, and I will find you when I remember."

Liu Zhuang was a little disappointed, but he didn't make things difficult for others.I had no choice but to leave the address and say nothing more.But Fang Zhiyuan remembered who shopkeeper Liu looked like, he was like Liu Liu's brother, and even somewhat similar to Liu Zhuang.In addition, he heard the rumors at the small stall, and a thought flashed in his mind, and seeing shopkeeper Liu became more and more meaningful.

On the way back, Liu Zhuang was unhappy when he didn't get the news.Fang Zhiyuan became more and more certain in his heart. He thought about it, and said to Liu Zhuang: "Ah Zhuang, I'll go back to Nanshi and look for someone to ask about grandpa. Go back and tell uncle first, and ask him to send you to the mountain. Jane to the firm. I'll go back to have dinner later."

Seeing that Fang Zhiyuan was so concerned about his affairs, Liu Zhuang felt sweet in his heart.He generally didn't reject Fang Zhiyuan's request, and agreed: "Okay, then you should pay attention to yourself. I'll go back and cook some dishes you like first, and I'll make up for you in the evening. You've been running around for the past few days, and you're all tired and thin. "

After Fang Zhiyuan and Liu Zhuang separated, they found the noodle stall where they had just eaten.Since the stall owner and Mr. Liu's Fu Lang know each other, they may know more information.

Fang Zhiyuan came to the noodle stall, but Ah Zhang didn't have much business here.He still had some impressions of Fang Zhiyuan, poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "Guest officer, what would you like to eat. Chicken noodle soup in the morning?"

However, Fang Zhiyuan took out two taels of silver and put it on the table, and asked Zhang Amo: "Boss, I heard that you know the husband of shopkeeper Liu's family. I want to ask, how did shopkeeper Liu come here back then?" Yes, how did his earlier husband and children go."

Zhang Ama looked at the money on the table, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Hearing Fang Zhiyuan's question, he looked at the money and said, "It's nothing. Shopkeeper Liu was a soldier with Wu Ye back then. I heard it was Wu Ye." He saved his life. Shopkeeper Liu was kind, so he came to visit Wu Ye's family and thought about giving some money. Wu's parents had all gone at that time, Wu Ye's husband died of illness, and only Wu Ye was left. Ye’s younger brother and Wu Ye’s only son are Wu Yin and Wu Zhong.”

While talking, Zhang Ah took the silver and said to Fang Zhiyuan: "You also heard how shopkeeper Liu got married in the morning. I don't know how shopkeeper Liu's former husband, Mr. Lang, got married. It's just that I know, shopkeeper Liu missed them very much back then. But Wu Yin was pregnant with a child, and shopkeeper Liu didn’t have any money at that time, and he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to go back. So he entrusted the businessmen who came and went to bring some money to the original husband and the child. Take it out. It was reported that the original husband and the child died of illness in his hometown. In the first few years, shopkeeper Liu was very sad. Later, Wu Yin took the child, and Wu Zhong wanted to take medicine and drink later. Shopkeeper Liu has started a business."

Zhang Amo asked so many things here, but Fang Zhiyuan knew it all.This shopkeeper Liu must be Liu Zhuang's grandfather, Liu Ah's husband, and Liu Cai who has already "died himself for the country".At this moment, Fang Zhiyuan thought of the first time he met Liu Ah Mo.

At such an old age, I took Liu Zhuang out to find work, and although the washed white clothes were clean, they still had patches.But shopkeeper Liu here has a charming husband and a young son, wearing gold and silver, and living the life of a wealthy family.

Fang Zhiyuan had never felt so uncomfortable, an indescribable feeling in his heart.I don't know if it's for Liu Ah or Liu Zhuang.

However, Fang Zhiyuan gave one word to Shopkeeper Liu: Scum!A man like him shouldn't marry a husband and have children.Nine deaths on the battlefield, not thinking about the husband and children who are struggling at home, but to repay the favor first.Doesn't shopkeeper Liu know the character of his father and brother?

In the evening, Fang Zhiyuan ate and went to bed early.Liu Zhuang felt strange and worried that Fang Zhiyuan had something difficult in his heart.He also followed into the room, touched Fang Zhiyuan's forehead to make sure that he didn't have a fever, and felt relieved.He asked Fang Zhiyuan, "A Yuan, what's the matter with you? The goods have already been sold, and my uncle said that shopkeeper Liu has doubled the price. Is there something on your mind? Tell me about it!"

Fang Zhiyuan looked at Liu Zhuang, he didn't know whether he should tell Liu Zhuang about this matter.He knew that in the eyes of Liu Zhuang and Liu Amo, shopkeeper Liu was the best grandfather and husband in the world.He said, besides just making them sad, what effect can it play?

Liu Zhuang looked at Fang Zhiyuan and said nothing, thinking of shopkeeper Liu, he said, "Hey, I don't know if shopkeeper Liu can remember the place where grandpa is buried. Ah Yuan, although grandpa left early, the mother told me that he married Grandpa never regretted it."

Fang Zhiyuan looked at Liu Zhuang, and at this moment he made up his mind that Liu Cai had already died on the battlefield.Shopkeeper Liu will always be Shopkeeper Liu, no matter what, it is better to leave a beautiful thought for Liu Amo and Liu Zhuang than such a cruel reality.

Having nothing to say all night, Fang Zhiyuan adjusted his mentality when he woke up in the morning.He greeted Fang Zeng, and then told Liu Zhuang that he had something to do.He went to Liu Ji Firm alone, no matter what shopkeeper Liu thought, Fang Zhiyuan would preemptively strike.

Shopkeeper Liu had been wandering around where Fang Zhiyuan and the others lived for half an hour, just when he made up his mind to look for Liu Zhuang, he saw Fang Zhiyuan.Fang Zhiyuan also saw him and happened to come down to talk to him.

Fang Zhiyuan said to shopkeeper Liu: "Treasurer Liu, are you here to find someone? There is still news about Grandpa Ah Zhuang, and Ah Zhuang will be happy to know. After all, Mammy has been waiting for his grandpa all his life. I didn’t even complain when I waited for Mammy to be gray-haired. Before we left, he repeatedly told us that we must worship in person. Sigh! Mammy has suffered all her life, but he said, compared to For those men who marry Xiao Nashi, Ah Zhuang's grandfather treats him wholeheartedly, even if he leaves, Mammy will not regret marrying him in her heart."

Shopkeeper Liu is not the stunned youth 30 years ago, who just came out of the countryside and doesn't understand anything.Hearing what Fang Zhiyuan said, he was a little surprised and a little puzzled.However, he still opened his mouth and said, "Brother Fang, I am actually..."

Fang Zhiyuan quickly stopped his topic, and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, it's better to meet by chance than to invite you. There is a teahouse in front. Let's go to the front and talk. I also have something to ask you for advice. I hope Shopkeeper Liu won't refuse."

Shopkeeper Liu wanted to know more about the Liu family at this time. He had already learned from Fang Zeng that Fang Zhiyuan was Liu Zhuang's husband yesterday, so he wanted to get close to him first.

The two were sitting in the private room of the teahouse, Fang Zhiyuan spoke first: "Shopkeeper Liu, I heard a story before, but I have never been able to understand the ending of the story. You are very knowledgeable, maybe you can explain it to me. "

Shopkeeper Liu was sure that Fang Zhiyuan knew something, and he also wanted to know what kind of medicine Fang Zhiyuan was selling in his gourd.He opened his mouth and said, "Oh, what kind of story can stump you. I have to listen to it carefully."

Fang Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Once upon a time, there was a brother named Wang Baochuan, who was from an official family, but he fell in love with Xue Rengui, a country boy. The families of the two families were wrong, but Wang Baochuan's father still couldn't win over his brother in the end. , married him to Xue Rengui. Of course, after marrying, the dowry was gone, and her natal family would not leave. But even so, Wang Baochuan and Xue Rengui did not regret being together. Later, Wang Baochuan gave birth to a boy, and Xue Rengui went to be a Soldiers."

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Liu knew the truth, and Fang Zhiyuan said: "Xue Rengui will never return. Wang Baochuan, a soft brother, has lived in the cold kiln with his kid for 18 years. He is looking forward to Xue Rengui's return every day, and the family reunion. He suffered as much as he endured and gritted his teeth. But Xue Rengui was so brave that he was favored by the elder brother of the king of Xixia. The king of Xixia has only one son. Although he is the elder brother, whoever marries him is the ruler Xue Rengui naturally seized the opportunity to make such a success. He became the lord of Xixia, lived a life of glory and wealth, and had long forgotten Wang Baochuan completely. Poor Wang Baochuan raised his children alone and struggled to support his family. Wait 18 Years later, after Xue Rengui finally remembered him, he took him over with his later husband and honored him as the royal family. However, Wang Baochuan, who had lived 18 years of hard life in the cold kiln, was in the palace enjoying all the glory and wealth. Only lived for eighteen days. Shopkeeper Liu, what do you think this is?"

Fang Zhiyuan adapted the modern story of "Wang Baochuan and Xue Rengui" and told it directly to Shopkeeper Liu.Although they are very different from Liu Ah Mo, they also have something in common.

Shopkeeper Liu was speechless, but Fang Zhiyuan said: "Perhaps, Xue Rengui never went back. Wang Baochuan thought he was dead, so he could live a more comfortable life. Xue Rengui's beautiful side has always been kept in Wang Baochuan's mind." Here, unlike later, although Wang Baochuan has a noble status, everything he insists on has become a joke. Shopkeeper Liu, don’t you think so?”

Shopkeeper Liu sighed and said, "As expected, you know. Fang family boy, you are a smart person. I also had some unavoidable difficulties for what happened back then. When I went to the battlefield and escaped death, it was brother Wu Ye who saved my life, but he didn't." He died after a while. Before he died, he entrusted me to take care of his family members. I left the battlefield, thinking that Brother Wu Ye’s family members were in the south. Next brother and a kid. I had to stay and take care of them until I found someone safe. But then I..."

Perhaps because he was ashamed to mention it in front of the juniors, shopkeeper Liu passed away with a blurred sound, and said, "Later, although I accepted Wu Yin because of morality, he was the second wife. I was planning to go back, and I heard that the imperial court will investigate the fake death again." One bad thing will affect the whole family. Therefore, I had to delay it again. It happened that Wu Yin had a child in her stomach, and it would be bad for the child to fall to the ground. I had to wait a little longer, but I entrusted the running businessman who came and went to give it to Ah Zhuang's nanny brought the silver and told them that I was still alive. But when the businessman came back, he gave me the silver, saying that Ah Zhuang's nanny died of illness not long after she knew I was dead. I followed. I was so sad, but I didn’t have any money on me at that time. I also had a benefactor’s child to support me, so I thought about going back to worship in a few years. However, after a lot of things happened, I didn’t have time to go back. But I set up a memorial tablet for them here, and lit the eternal lamp in the temple, and I never forgot them for a moment."

Fang Zhiyuan just looked at shopkeeper Liu quietly, neither speaking nor moving.Shopkeeper Liu felt Fang Zhiyuan's hostility towards him.In fact, he still has many, many unspoken reasons, but in front of this young man, he doesn't want to mention them.

Fang Zhiyuan sneered, and said to Shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu, are you finished? It's a good reason, a good excuse. After hearing this, others will always praise you for your love and righteousness, and your kind heart. Do you know your father is right?" What kind of mother-in-law and my father-in-law are you? Do you know how difficult it is for a brother to lead a kid into a family? Do you know how heartbroken the mother is when you die? You know it, you It is clear in your heart. But you abandoned your husband and child for your father and your brother. You have no shame in your heart and are worthy of your father's kindness. But you have thought about your child and your husband Who will take care of Lang, who will raise them? You don't want to, because you have pushed the responsibility that should have been yours to the nanny without guilt."

Ah Liu wanted to argue in a hurry, Fang Zhiyuan continued: "You went to the battlefield, and after a narrow escape, you finally came back alive. But you should repay your kindness first. Repaying your kindness is very good, but if you can repay your kindness to the benefactor's brother's bed, you are also No.1 Right. I don’t know if you have sex after drinking. You live with a single brother, and there is a husband and child waiting for you at home. What’s worth drinking for you? Back then you were in your thirties, not thirteen or fourteen years old. Besides, you were young and morally minded. Have you thought about waiting for your husband? It’s even more fun to drag someone casually, If he brings you fake news, you believe it to be true. You believe what people say. Can’t you come back and see for yourself? You had no money or travel expenses 20 years ago, and I don’t believe the money you didn’t return ten years ago. You Have you gone back? Don’t tell me, it’s not worth it for you to go back and offer incense to a nanny who has been in charge of you for half a lifetime and has a relationship with husband and wife for more than ten years. Have you ever thought that they are really gone, relying on your father? Mo He and his brother's virtues, it is possible that no one worships them after their death, and there is no enshrinement on the grave. I really admire you for being indifferent to such a miserable situation. Shopkeeper Liu, please tell me why you are facing strangers , you can be kind-hearted and take care of everything. How can your own child be so ruthless to your husband who has been with you for more than ten years?"
