The Villain is Addicted to Farming

After Zhong Qiyuan and Zhong Chuyuan left home, Meng found that the frequency of coming to Zhong's house from Wan became higher.In the past, Cong Wan only came to Zhong's house to share a table for dinner occasionally, but now he basically comes here once a day.

Meng said happily: "When Yuaner and Yuanyuan were at home, you didn't come so often. Are you worried that something will happen to me when I'm alone at home?"

Cong Wanxin thought, she didn't care about the Meng family, but she was forced by the evil boss's power.

It's not easy to say these words directly, besides, Zhong Qiyuan's other meaning is to ask her to help look at the Meng family!

She is a dignified system auditor, and there is no need to listen to a host's instructions, but considering that Zhong Qiyuan collapses the small world, she will still be required to do the follow-up processing work, and she will not be able to fish left and right, why not Pick an easier job? !

"Sister Zhong is worried that Aunt Meng won't be able to keep those hired workers down, and her fields will be destroyed by then, so she asked me to help Aunt Meng."

Meng said meaningfully: "My aunt understands everything!"

Cong Wan: "?"

What does she know?

When Zhong Qiyuan was not around, Meng said boldly: "Wan'er doesn't seem to worry about me, but she still does, but she is stubborn. You are the same way. You never get involved in other people's affairs, but you It's not really indifferent. You are gentle and considerate, and I hope that having a bride like you is also true."

Cong Wan blushed slightly.

Meng Shi praised her?

She just didn't want to get involved in so many things, and she didn't want to speak bad words to people and cause trouble, so she kept so low-key.And smiling at people is her professional habit for many years, she is actually very afraid of trouble, and likes to touch fish!

"Aunt Meng is too generous." Cong Wan said with a guilty conscience.

She turned her head and asked the system: "What are the host and the child of luck doing?"

"I'm chasing debts."

Cong Wan: "..."

clam?

After Zhong Qiyuan and Zhong Chuyuan left Fu County, they headed south. Because Zhong Chuyuan's household stickers were still in Zhong's house, she changed into the Taoist robe that Zhong Qiyuan had eliminated, and pretended to be a Taoist priest.

When the officers and soldiers interrogated her, Zhong Qiyuan took out the temple temple household stickers of the original owner, and declared that Zhong Chuyuan was her new disciple who had not officially entered the Taoist temple.The imperial court's management of the monastery households was relatively loose, so these officers and soldiers let them go without questioning them carefully.

Zhong Chuyuan was puzzled: "In my hometown, the government doesn't seem to be so strict in interrogation?"

Zhong Qiyuan said: "Suzhou belongs to the Xuanwu Jiedushi. After crossing the Huaihe River, it is the territory of the Huainan Jiedushi. Further south, to the Yangtze River, it belongs to Jiangnan. In a peaceful corner of the south of the Yangtze River, many rules still exist. Here again It is the first choice for the people in the Central Plains to avoid military disasters, and a large number of vagrants poured in, which is very prone to chaos, so the officers and soldiers will naturally conduct stricter investigations."

Zhong Chuyuan also experienced this. When they crossed the river at the ferry of the Huaihe River, they saw that there were many wine shops on both sides of the river, bustling with people, and the pattern of the market was completely broken.At night, the curfew system does not seem to exist here, the wine flags are flying, the lights are bright, and it is very lively.

After passing through these places, you can see the vagrant households who were stopped outside the city gate because they had no household allowance. They had no land, no home, and could not enter the city to find a livelihood, so they could only stay outside the city.

A slightly stronger man saw a caravan going to the city to unload the goods and pay taxes, so he graciously went to help unload the goods in order to get some money to live on.

The thin women can only sit together, waiting for the dentist to sell them as goods.

These images shocked Zhong Chuyuan, making her unable to calm down for a long time.She wanted to help, but soon found that there was nothing she could do.These people needed money and food, and she had neither money nor food.All their food and clothing along the way depended on the money they got from performing errands for others on the way, and she had no spare money to give to these people.

Zhong Chuyuan felt frustrated for the first time.She said: "Why didn't the Huainan Jiedu envoy arrange for them?"

"In a place, there are only so many land resources, population, and labor force. After these floating households flood here, the balance will be lost. Will the local people in Huainan be willing to give up their resources to outsiders?"

Zhong Chuyuan knew that no one would be happy.

Going further south, there are fewer floating households, and the government's investigation is not so strict.

Zhong Chuyuan found that many vagrants could be settled here. Although she knew that she could get the answer by asking Zhong Qiyuan directly, she still chose to observe and think by herself.

Finally, it was found that Huainan and Jiangnan were close to the war-torn Central Plains, so there were many vagrant households who paid exorbitant taxes to avoid war disasters.The southern part of the south of the Yangtze River belongs to the "land of southern barbarians" with many mountains and forests, little cultivated land, and few people.The government is eager to bring in more vagrants to reclaim wasteland and raise taxes.

She told Zhong Qiyuan this conclusion, and the latter said: "Apart from this, do you have any other discoveries?"

Zhong Chuyuan racked her brains for a long time, but found nothing else.

Zhong Qiyuan said: "It's more popular here to find a witch doctor to cure the disease with witchcraft. Fortunately, I bring the guy who eats with me. We can make a lot of money."

Zhong Chuyuan: "..."

So when they settled down in a Taoist temple in a certain village, they happened to meet a pregnant woman with dystocia. The family couldn't find a witch doctor, so they invited Zhong Qiyuan to do a birth ritual.

Zhong Qiyuan asked the son of luck: "Are you going to do something, or do you want to deliver the baby?"

The corners of Zhong Chuyuan's mouth twitched, and she rolled up her sleeves: "Delivery!"

Compared with practice, delivery, and wrong, obstetrics and gynecology is the field she is more familiar with.

So Zhong Qiyuan drank tea outside, and Zhong Chuyuan helped deliver the baby in the delivery room.The family asked Zhong Qiyuan: "Isn't the Taoist priest going to do something?"

Zhong Qiyuan calmed down and said, "Why do you have to do this kind of trivial matter yourself?"

When the family heard this, they didn't have any doubts, after all, the masters were the last to act.

Even so, they were still a little apprehensive.Zhong Chuyuan was too young, they worried that her "magic power" was not as good as Zhong Qiyuan, and the mother would suffer a lot.

But it didn't take too long, and the baby was born smoothly.

The family thanked them very excitedly and gave them generous gifts.

After they left, Zhong Chuyuan asked: "Sister, what if this news gets out, and more and more people think that witchcraft is more effective than medical skills, and abandon medical skills to pursue witchcraft?"

"Then what do you think should be done?" Zhong Qiyuan threw the question back to her.

This stumped Zhong Chuyuan.

The reason why the family sought them out was because of their Taoist status.If they confessed that it was useless to do things, they would definitely be unhappy, and even if she said things that she would understand, she would not be accepted by them.

But if they don't confess, they will only rely more on "practice".

Before she could come up with a solution, a villager heard about the incident and came to them, saying that his wife always had a miscarriage, suspected that there was a ghost, and wanted to ask them to help them perform rituals to exorcise the evil spirits.

Zhong Chuyuan felt that this villager looked familiar, and his accent was a bit close to Suzhou.Before she figured it out, Zhong Qiyuan said with great interest: "So you are hiding here, no wonder the government has tracked you down for many years and failed to find you."

The villager was stunned for a moment, and when he recognized Zhong Qiyuan's face, his face turned pale with shock: "You—"

"Is he a wanted criminal?" Zhong Chuyuan looked at Zhong Qiyuan suspiciously.

"The Shu family who owed us [-] shi of grain and fled with the money, if I remember correctly, is Shu Shuang's eldest grandson, named Shu Cai."

Zhong Chuyuan quickly recalled this incident, she still remembered that it was the first time she went to collect rent with her sister, she was excited and curious.Of course, what I remember more deeply is the delicious grilled chicken wings that Sister Yun gave her...

"It turned out to be this rascal."

Shu Cai turned around and wanted to run away, Zhong Qiyuan had a smile on his face: "You have been wanted for ten years, and the warrant has not been removed yet, if I go to the government to report you, do you think you can stay here?"

Shu Cai's legs are weak, he never thought that Zhong Qiyuan would appear here, they are already far away from Suzhou, why are they still chasing after them?

Not long after their family left Suzhou, they mixed into the ranks of refugees and traveled all the way south, even avoiding interrogation by officers and soldiers several times on the way.

After crossing the Huai River, they still felt uneasy, so they continued to walk south until they crossed the Yangtze River, and they found a place to stay here.

In the following eight years, they responded to the government's call, reclaimed wasteland, changed from floating households to main households, and also had their own fields, living a peaceful life.Unexpectedly, the "murderer" who caused them to leave their homes and wells would appear here!

"You guys are really lingering!" Seeing her, Shu Cai thought of Shu Shuang who stayed in Suzhou to divert the government's attention in order to let them escape.If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have become unfilial descendants who abandoned their father/grandfather!

Zhong Qiyuan was amused: "Is it my fault to be daring?"

Shu Cai rolled his eyes, thinking that this place has left the sphere of influence of the Xuanwu Jiedushi, and they are no longer afraid of the Zhong family, and they have been operating in the village for many years. Compared with the two outsiders, the villagers will definitely stand by them Here!

Besides, the two of them are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and they are tied up and given to the gentry here. With the protection of the gentry, why should they be afraid of the government?
