Traversing back to ancient times, Western medicine also farms

Li Mushu followed Doctor Wang out of the carriage and took a look, oh, there are so many people!In addition to the more than 20 sergeants accompanying this time, there were many farmers in rough clothes surrounded by the carriage, and they were laughing and hugging and talking with everyone.

A 40-year-old man saw Dr. Wang getting off the carriage and came over with a smile and clasped his fists. He said loudly, "Dr. Wang, I haven't seen you for two years and you are still so energetic."

"Mr. Hong seems to be a standard farmer. Seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers here and seeing your red face, you must be living a very nourishing life, right?" Doctor Wang's slightly tired face was already smiling after getting off the carriage. When he saw this Mr. Hong It's laughing, it seems that the two have a great friendship.

"Moisturizing, very nourishing. Living here together will be more nourishing in the future, hahaha." Mr. Hong laughed heartily.He looked at Li Mushu without any trace while smiling, and asked Doctor Wang with a smile: "This is your beloved apprentice, Doctor Li, right? Look at this little face with a yellow face, did you abuse him along the way?"

"Go, go, talk nonsense." Dr. Wang kicked Hong Da, causing everyone to laugh.

"Mr. Hong, hello. My name is Li Mushu. From now on, you can call me by my name." Li Mushu had been listening to them with a smile on his face, but when he heard Mr. Hong mentioning himself, he hurriedly bowed to him.

"Xiao Mu, you can call him Uncle Da from now on. Xiao Da, you can just call him Xiao Mu. Tsk tsk tsk, we are all farmers now, so we don't need to use official titles anymore." Dr. Wang waved his hand like a boss look.

"Can you stop calling me Xiao Da? My son is older than Xiao Mu, and you still put me and Xiao Mu in the same generation?" Hong Da's mouth twitched. The word 'Xiao Da' is very shocking, okay?

"Hahaha." Everyone was holding back their laughter, but now they laughed out loud.

Doctor Wang held back a smile and asked Hong Da: "Then what should I call you?"

"Doctor Wang, just call me Ada." Hong Da had long thought that Doctor Wang would call him that, and he was still called Xiaoda in his prime.

"Okay, Ada." Doctor Wang complied.

"Hahaha, that's great. Brothers, we used to go through life and death together, and we will support and help each other here and live a good life together." Hong Da recalled his military career in the past and couldn't help being proud: "Brothers, everyone has worked hard. .Come to my house for dinner first, and your sister-in-laws have already prepared meals for you. After eating, I will take you back to your own home to have a good rest. "

"Okay! Let's go."

"Great, I'm hungry too, do you have any wine ready?"

"There are food and wine, come with me."

"Brother Da has worked hard, sister-in-law has worked hard."

"It's so beautiful here, it's great to settle here, it's worth the hard work..."

"..."

Everyone laughed at each word, and the exhaustion from traveling all the way disappeared in the joy of seeing the brothers reunited.A large group happily followed Hongda to his house for dinner.

Along the way, the farmers who carried their hoes or walked with their hands behind their backs all came up to greet them affectionately and chat with them.It took a long time for this short distance before everyone reached Hongda's house.

Doctor Wang told Li Mushu that this is a small mountain village developed by General Xie a few years ago. It was named Huaishu Bay because there were many pagoda trees here.The reason why I chose this place as the residence for my subordinates to disarm and return to the fields is because I like the fact that it is very secluded. It takes a whole day to walk around a few mountains to get here from the county town, and it takes more than half a day to get there by car.

This group of sergeants are all the heroes who followed Xie Yueyun to make contributions in northern Xinjiang.They loyally followed Xie Yueyun, who was only 20 years old at the time and had no fame, and beat the barbarian army to pieces. After that, they followed closely every time they went through life and death, which moved Xie Yueyun very much.

After the baptism of war, every soldier has been hurt physically and mentally.The battlefield is cruel, and they have to face life and death every day. When they retreated, they only wanted to live a peaceful and ordinary life in the future.Xie Yueyun himself was physically and mentally traumatized and understood their situation better, but as the Xie family, he couldn't help himself, and he had a son to take care of.But since he was appointed General Zhenbei by the emperor, he started to find a place for his subordinates to live and work in peace and contentment, and finally chose Huaishuwan.

Xie Yueyun and Xie Wensheng first arranged some people to come here quietly to work as land reclamation cattle. Many of the retired sergeants were farmers, and they were very familiar with farming.In the beginning, soybeans were planted all over the mountains and plains, and food and clothing were bought and shipped in large quantities from outside.Afterwards, displaced victims were brought in in batches, houses were gradually built, fields were enclosed, and crops such as wheat, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were planted.Poultry such as chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep are also raised in captivity.

After the development of the small mountain village, there are no longer just dozens of people when they first came here.Some old families with parents and brothers also picked them up to settle down. Some were engaged before conscription and went home to get married and brought their new wives. Those soldiers who had no relatives in their hometown lived together. Some of them get married and have children here, but they are very popular.

This small mountain village is remote, and no officials will come in. Of course, there are no landlords running amok here.In addition, in order to appease the people in the north and to produce more food, the imperial court exempted them from paying taxes for five years.In the past few years, everyone has lived quite well. The crops they planted are not only self-sufficient, but also produce a lot more. They can go to the town to exchange for some necessities, such as cloth, such as salt, and so on.Everyone is brothers and has a strong friendship, and they live happily here in harmony.

Li Mushu looked around, and found that the design of the houses here was basically the same. They were all two-entry houses, with two courtyards at the front and back.The backyard is a cowshed, a nest, and a thatched house. Some vegetables or fruit trees are planted on one side of the front yard, while the other side is empty. Some people are drying their crops in the open space.

Li Mushu and the others walked all the way, followed by a string of tails to watch the excitement.There are old people and children, and everyone is smiling like a festival.Just entered the yard of Hong Da's house, and a bunch of people came out. As soon as we met, you slapped me, and the one I hugged you screamed and made a commotion. Everyone was beaming.Li Mushu followed behind watching with relish, and couldn't help grinning to share the fun with everyone.In modern times, it is rare to see scenes with such a strong human touch. Everyone's life is not easy. Everything needs money and everything needs relationships.When I was young, I was carefree except for my studies. At that time, life was the happiest, but when I grow up, especially after I come out to work, under the pressure of the economy, everyone’s mood is more or less heavy, and people are not as happy as before. up.

Doctor Wang suddenly turned around and pulled Li Mushu forward to introduce his beloved disciple to everyone.Needless to say, Li Mushu's other identity has not come here before General Xie, now he is Doctor Wang's apprentice.Although all the sergeants who came with me knew about it, everyone tacitly kept silent.Everyone greeted Li Mushu with smiles, congratulations to Dr. Wang, and Li Mushu also saluted respectfully.

There can't be so many tables in the house, and the open space in the yard is also filled.Li Mushu stared straight at the table full of chicken, duck, fish and steaming soup.The farmers here are so rich!Don't look at people wearing coarse linen clothes and straw sandals, they can't stop people from living well. Even in modern times, the number of festive banquets is not as abundant as here!

Li Mushu didn't want to eat at the same table with Doctor Wang.He could see that Xie Yueyun was not here, Dr. Wang was the leader here, and even Hong Da was second.Both used to be colleagues. They haven't seen each other for a long time. They must have a lot to talk about and drink.If I eat at the same table with Dr. Wang, I am a junior who wants to serve the elders, and I don't have much to talk about, so I will definitely not enjoy eating restrained.Thinking of this, Li Mushu quietly teased Doctor Wang and said, "Master, you can eat indoors, but Adjutant Xu and I can eat outside."

Dr. Wang squinted at Li Mushu and grinned, stretched out his hand to pinch his little face and said with a proud smile, "Okay, kids, don't follow the adults around, go out to eat."

The corners of Li Mushu's mouth twitched, who wants to follow your ass?But since the master agreed, Li Mushu hurriedly dragged Adjutant Xu to the yard.

The sergeants who were sitting in the yard eating had already started. Everyone was tired from the journey for a month, and they didn’t eat well. Now that they had such a sumptuous meal, everyone was brothers at the same level, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.As soon as I sat down, I shook my cheeks and started eating.

"Doctor Li, come here and sit down." A group of sergeants who had just started to move smiled and waved to Li Mushu. Li Mushu responded with a smile, and hurriedly led Adjutant Xu to sit down.

"Come here, let's drink the soup first. Doctor Li, this soup is not as delicious as yours, don't you think so?" A soldier with a leg injury said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Doctor Li's cooking is delicious. Hehe~" Everyone agreed, and everyone was very happy when they came back here, with smiles on their faces, and even the ashes on their faces couldn't stop the radiant glow .

"Congratulations, please come to my house to drink if you want to drink." Li Mushu was also very happy to see everyone cheering so much, and he waved his hand proudly to accept.

"Okay, it's settled."

"Okay, with a word from a gentleman, it's hard to chase after a wild horse!"

"Come on, drink!"

"drink!"

Everyone stood up and raised their wine bowls, and Li Mushu raised his soup bowl to toast.The meal was enjoyable, everyone ate, drank and chatted, and it took two hours for them to leave the table. Basically, everyone was drunk and slumped around.Some even fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Li Mushu was sober when he didn't drink, and Adjutant Xu was sober because he was ordered to protect Li Mushu.Dr. Wang was also drunk, but he tasted very good and just slept peacefully.

"It seems that everyone will rest at our house first." Hong Da also drank a lot of wine, but he was only slightly drunk.He went out and brought a dozen people back to help carry those drunk cats to several nearby houses to rest.Wait for them to wake up and then take them back to their own home.

Li Mushu and Adjutant Xu also followed to help. Li Mushu was short and weak, so he just followed behind to help wipe the faces of the drunk cats and cover them with blankets.Even so, after running back and forth several times, Li Mushu was tired and sweating.

"Xiao Mu, I'll take you and Xiao Xu to your house. Doctor Wang will stay at my house temporarily."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Da."

"It's okay, I'll carry Dr. Wang into the room and we'll go there together." Hong Da said as he went back into the room to help Dr. Wang up.

"Brother Da, let me carry it." Adjutant Xu immediately ran over and squatted down, and asked Hong Da to help Dr. Wang put him on his back and lie down in the guest room of Hong Da's house.

Hong Da led the way, and Li Mushu and Adjutant Xu followed him with light luggage to the house at the foot of the mountain.

The house is in the shape of a square and occupies a large area. The front yard is surrounded by a fence, and two vegetable fields have been opened inside. The green vegetables grow very gratifyingly.There are also several ridges of beans, eggplants and loofahs framed by bamboo, with small flowers in bloom, and some of them have already produced fruit.

"Xiao Mu, come in. This house has been roughly arranged, what do you want to add later?" Hong Da opened the big mahogany door.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Da."

Hong Da took Li Mushu and Adjutant Xu to visit the house, gave a general introduction and told them where the things were kept.This is a layout similar to a courtyard with three entrances.As soon as you enter the door, there are two utility rooms on the left and right, and then you enter an open-air courtyard with three rooms on the left and right. Across the courtyard is a spacious living room, and there are also rooms on both sides of the living room.

"Xiaomu, you guys are new here, so rest for a few days first. Come to me when you have decided what to plant and what to raise. Don't worry, you probably don't know how to do these farm tasks. Learn slowly. If it doesn't work, we can even buy some people." Come back to work."

"Buy, buy someone?" Li Mushu stuttered. Could it be that this is still a slave society?

"Yes. Over the past few years, we have been procrastinating and fighting for several years. Almost all the strong men in the northern Xinjiang area have been conscripted to go to the battlefield. Only the old, weak, women and children are left at home, and many fields have been abandoned. In addition to the natural Disasters, many people have no food to eat. You can see that our place has taken on a new look in just a few years. It can’t be done by our dozens of retired soldiers. Although we have retired, everyone has different degrees. I can’t do too heavy and hard work. Although the people who bought them have signed a contract of sale, as long as they work hard, we still treat them equally. Living here is not bad, it’s better than being cold and starving outside. too much."

"That's true." Li Mushu nodded, seeing that everyone got along very well just now, he couldn't tell who was a bought servant and who was a veteran.

"The quilts in the room are all new, and they were only exposed to the sun yesterday. Your home is at the foot of this mountain, which happens to be the source of our Huaishuwan river. It is very convenient to fetch water. There is already a tank of water in the kitchen. Okay. Now, I’m going back, you guys have a good rest, I’ll call you again when you’re having dinner. You’d better eat at my house tonight, and you’ll start the fire tomorrow.”

"Thank you, Uncle Da." Li Mushu and Adjutant Xu smiled and sent Hong to the door.

"Go back and rest, I'm tired." Hong Da waved to them and left.

"Well, Uncle Da, go slowly."

"Doctor Li, don't call me Adjutant Xu. Didn't Doctor Wang say not to wear an official title? My name is Xu Daming." Xu Daming followed Li Mushu to visit the house. It would be awkward to call him Adjutant Xu here.

"Okay, I'll call you Brother Xu." Xu Daming looked about 23 or [-] years old.

"Okay. Hehe." Xu Daming laughed as soon as he heard it, and the round face that had been crumpled was a little childish.Li Mushu also smiled when he saw it.

"Doctor Li, take your time. I'll boil water for you to take a bath." Xu Daming scratched his head. After driving so much, it's most comfortable to take a bath and rest.

"Okay, thank you Brother Xu."

Xu Daming entered the room with a smile, and Li Mushu followed to see.The three rooms on the right in the courtyard are the bathroom, kitchen and dining room.The kitchen and dining room are connected, with a door in the middle; and the three rooms on the left side of the courtyard seem to be guest rooms or storage rooms.

As soon as you enter the door, one of the two utility rooms is for storing food. There are many medium-sized large tanks on the rows of wooden shelves, which contain wheat, rice, corn, beans and flour, etc., and there are some in the ground. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and several pumpkins and winter melons.Another room was filled with farm implements.

Li Mushu looked here and there.He thought that the small mountain village was very poor, and it was like a modern farmhouse.So rich, he even said he could buy servants to come back to work!

Li Mushu ran to the living room to look again. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a majestic landscape painting on the wall. There was a table under the painting, and a chair on each side of the table.There are also small square tables and chairs on both sides, all made of wood.Although it is not mahogany furniture or exquisite carvings, it looks simple and atmospheric.Li Mushu smiled and walked over to sit here and there.He thought in his heart that when the weather was cold, he would make a soft cushion to spread on it, and he would also get a few pillows.

There are two rooms, one large and one small, on both sides of the living room. The large room should be the master bedroom, while the small room should be the study.

The large room is very spacious, with a large wooden bed, a pit, a table and two chairs.A mat was spread on the earth pit, and a low table was placed in the middle; cloth curtains were placed on the four pillars of the wooden bed, which are modern mosquito nets.Futons, pillows, etc. are placed on the bed covered with sheets.Fire dragons were cut against the outer wall of the earth kang. It is very cold in the north in winter, and it is necessary to sleep on the earth kang to keep warm.

There is only an Eight Immortals table and a Taishi chair in the small room, and there are four treasures of the study inside.There is a large bookcase against the wall.

Li Mushu walked around before heading to the backyard.The backyard is no longer fenced but has an earthen wall.Against the earth wall is a row of cowsheds, pigpens and nests.The latrine is also built here, and Li Mushu even walked in to see it, dizzy!Too crude, right?Inside is an earthen pot, two clay clams, a wooden board and a pile of plant ash.Probably the small ones are packed in earthen jars, the large ones are placed on clay, and then covered with wood ash?Li Mushu looked like he wanted to die.

By the way, what about toilet paper and toilet paper?Li Mushu secretly saved a lot of toilet paper with Doctor Wang and Xie Yueyun when he was in the military camp, what should he do now?Li Mushu blinked and suddenly saw a small wooden block hanging on the wall, he couldn't help but wonder, which one should he use?

no!Be sure to get some straw paper out!
