Go back to ancient times and marry a widow

Dongyu Village is a village affiliated to Donglin Town. It is surrounded by green mountains with lush trees and fertile land under the mountains.

There are about [-] or [-] households living in the village, and almost every household has a field. They have lived a farming life from sunrise to sunset for generations.

With the geographical advantage of being close to mountains and rivers, the crops have been harvested year after year, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe in this dynasty, and the taxes on farmers are not high, so the living standards of the villagers are not much worse.

This is the season when everything is sprouting in spring. Qi Wensheng walked beside the stretching fields, looking around, the farmlands were covered with lively tender green.Under the blowing of the soft wind, the green seedlings swayed slightly, and the wind also brought out the sweet and moist atmosphere in the soil.

Qi Wensheng was unaware of being infected by the scenery in front of him. He took a deep breath to relax physically and mentally, and lamented that the pristine air without pollution is refreshing.

Walking through the farmland, you can see a patchwork of farmhouses. It is noon now, and there are misty smokes on the roofs of the stoves, accompanied by the taste of simple meals, making it even more beautiful. The village is quiet and peaceful.

Qi Wensheng ignored the two calls of hunger coming from his stomach, the bowl of porridge just now seemed not very full.He greeted an old man carrying a hoe who came across, "Uncle Chen."

The old man Chen, who was walking with his head bowed, raised his head following the sound, and suddenly opened his drooping eyelids, and asked with a face full of surprise: "Boy Wen Sheng, are you really alive?"

Qi Wensheng smiled, nodded and said, "Well, I'm alive."

Old man Chen took two steps forward, raised his arm and patted Qi Wensheng's shoulder, sighing repeatedly: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

The strength of the hands of a farmer who has worked in the fields for many years cannot be underestimated. Qi Wensheng couldn't help grinning and clenched his teeth, but he was grateful for this old man with a ravine on his face.

After saying goodbye to old man Chen, Qi Wensheng turned into a mountain road, and the road became more and more rugged as he went up.Qi Wensheng held the bowl steady, and while paying attention to his feet, he was thinking about the person named Qiuxi whom he was going to meet.

In fact, in the impression of the original owner, I don't know Qiuxi very well, I only know that he married from Qiujiagou on the other side of the mountain the year before last, and married into Zheng Dagui's family in this village.

A few days after the marriage, Zheng Dagui went out to do business with others, and less than half a month later, unfortunately, there was news that Zheng Dagui met a bandit who murdered and robbed him, and died under the bandit's sword.

The rest of Qiu Xi was also pitiful. At that time, he sent Zheng Dagui's brother-in-law, Zheng Dafu and Mrs. Li to live in the mountains. I heard that he even picked up a child to raise by himself.

After Qi Wensheng entered the mountain, he walked for almost two quarters of an hour before he saw a thatched cottage beside the woods in the distance.The style of this thatched house is simple and simple, with a bamboo fence surrounding the thatched house and two small vegetable fields, and there are lavender wild flowers climbing on the fence.

If you look at it from the perspective of a modern person like Qi Wensheng, it really makes people feel relaxed and at ease.

But this is not the modern world where busy people occasionally enjoy nature.This is a densely populated village in Fusheng. Every family lives in a house made of wood. Compared with living in a thatched house that cannot withstand the wind and rain, but is also flammable and perishable, it can be said that life is very good. Shabby.

Seeing that the thatched hut in front was getting closer and closer, Qi Wensheng's footsteps gradually became slower, he couldn't help panting with his mouth open, and he really despised the original owner's physical quality in his heart.I think that when he was at this age, he also participated in a marathon. Although his results were only moderate, he could still run the entire distance.

Thinking of planning to live a prosperous life here in the future, Qi Wensheng felt eager to try, and wanted to build a solid and durable body as soon as possible.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Qi Wensheng came to the vicinity of the thatched cottage, and heard a baby crying from inside. He suddenly became curious, thinking how a big man like Qiuxi would take care of a child?

Walking outside the fence, Qi Wensheng breathed a sigh of relief, and called out to the half-open thatched cottage, "Qiuxi."

The baby's crying suddenly weakened, and a voice in the room replied: "Who is it?"

They are also men who have been married before. This voice is not as artificial as He Qingyue's, but it is clear and powerful, which made Qi Wensheng feel good when he heard it.As soon as he opened his mouth and uttered the word "I", he saw the door of the house opened, and it was Qiuxi who came out with the child in his arms.

Leaving aside the original owner's impression of Qiuxi, this is the first time Qi Wensheng has seen Qiuxi. At this moment, Qiuxi in his eyes is bright-eyed and thin-browed, tall and thin, and dressed in plain coarse linen.Probably due to the frequent work, his face was tanned by the sun.

While Qi Wensheng was looking at Qiuxi, Qiuxi on the opposite side was also observing Qi Wensheng. He thought he was not a timid person, but when he came out of the room and saw Qi Wensheng suddenly, his heartbeat really increased.

"What's the matter with you?" Qiuxi glanced at the slanted shadow on the ground, and couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that what he had heard from the villagers in the morning was true.

Qi Wensheng's eyes wandered over Qiuxi and the little baby twice, thinking that the two of them, one big and one small, were too thin.

"Well, I'll bring you something." Qi Wensheng said while passing the bowl in his hand forward, and said sincerely, "Thank you for saving me yesterday."

Qiuxi couldn't help being startled, he had met Qi Wensheng a few times before, and when he saw Qi Wensheng walked with his head down, his face was sometimes very gloomy, he really didn't look like the same person at this time.

"You're welcome, me too... I didn't bother too much." Qiu Xi said with some embarrassment, no one had ever given him anything in his life.

Qi Wensheng smiled, what Qiu Xi said was simple, but it is not so easy to rescue a person who can't swim from the river.The last memory left by the original owner in this world is that he choked on water, his limbs kept thrashing, and then he felt a person swimming beside him, and he instinctively grabbed that person desperately.

The process can be imagined, when Qiuxi dragged Qi Wensheng ashore, who was already holding his breath, he was considered extremely lucky to be able to save his own life.

"Qi...Qi Wensheng?" Seeing that Qi Wensheng's eyes staring at her became dull, Qiuxi called out in doubt.

After hearing this, Qi Wensheng blinked his eyes twice, and said solemnly to Qiuxi: "Don't go into the water again." Like the original owner, he felt hopeless in the end, and he also had the feeling of being choked by water into his nasal cavity and The pain in the throat is too chilling to think about.

Qiuxi nodded, he probably understood what Qi Wensheng said, recalling that he was also afraid after going ashore.

At that time, after several villagers on the shore helped him pull Qi Wensheng up, they slapped Qi Wensheng's chest and back, but Qi Wensheng didn't respond at all. Later, someone confirmed that Qi Wensheng was dying, and Qiu Xi felt very sad about it. sorry.

"Don't...don't go into the water again." Qiu Xi paused, but didn't say anything about committing suicide. He was watching Qi Wensheng jump into the river by himself not far away.

"Definitely not." Qi Wensheng said firmly. The original owner regretted it during the last moment of struggle, so why not him.

"Yes." Qiu Xi was very happy that Qi Wensheng could regain a new life.

"You take this little food first, I have nothing to repay you for the time being." Qi Wensheng handed the food in both hands to Qiu Xi again.

Although the person Qiuxi rescued was not the real him, what Qi Wensheng thought was that if Qiuxi hadn't brought the original owner back to the shore in time, then he wouldn't know where the original owner would have drifted down the river, and it was hard to say that he would still be. There will be no rebirth of him to the original owner this time.

Qiu Xi shook his head, he switched arms to hold the child, and said with a light smile, "No need." He went into the water to save people for a reason, and he didn't think about asking for anything in return.

Qi Wensheng looked at the baby in Qiuxi's arms again, since the baby stopped crying when he saw him, he was currently chewing on his fingers, looking at him with big wet eyes, his small appearance was truly cute.It made Qi Wensheng's heart so soft that he thought that when he came again in the future, he would have to bring something for this little doll.

"Take it." Qi Wensheng hung the bacon on the fence, and put the bowl on a big rock by the fence.Finally, he said to Qiuxi, "Then I'll go home first," and then turned around and walked back and forth.

"Hey, you..." Qiuxi subconsciously said.

Qi Wensheng turned his head and waved at Qiu Xi and the child, smiling without saying a word.

Qiuxi looked at the food Qi Wensheng left behind, and it was already pretty good for him.He picked up a red date and ate it into his mouth. The skin of the date was very thin, and the meat was sweet and thick, a taste he had never tasted for a long time.

This is also the first time Qiuxi has received such sincere thanks from others. Looking at the back of Qi Wensheng walking away, Qiuxi was a little moved in his heart.He wanted to hope that Qi Wensheng could live a good life in the future. They were in the same village, and although they didn't see each other often, he had heard about some of Qi Wensheng's family affairs.

Here, Qi Wensheng walked down the mountain resting and dragged his tired body back home. When he saw Mrs. Liu groping for a fire to cook in the kitchen again, he quickly took over the work in Mrs. Liu's hands and helped him Mrs. Liu sat down in the courtyard.

"Where's He Qingyue?" Qi Wensheng felt annoyed when he mentioned this person.

Liu did not dare to hide it and said: "It is said that his mother is sick, so he will go back to his mother's house for a few days."

Qi Wensheng sneered in his heart, He Qingyue's mind could not fool him.

"Okay, mother, you wait for me to cook." Qi Wensheng settled Liu and went into the kitchen again.He planned to get rid of He Qingyue as soon as possible, and it would be best if He Qingyue would be ruined and notorious in the village.
