I farmed in ancient times

After breakfast, Cen Daonian took Cen Chaoan to the school.

Today is the third day of the sacrifice. The people of Damo Township went to the mountain as early as the first day, and those who were closer went to the mountain on the second day. Except for those who were far away, few people came on the third day, but no one thought of it. The county magistrate of Yang County actually came in person.

Early in the morning, Shen Yan took advantage of Xiumu and only brought two people along the county road to Panshan on horseback.

He saw the vision of Panshan with his own eyes. Although the people boasted that they were amazing, Shen Yan didn't believe in these non-existent things.

The group of three stopped by the river, and Shen Yan's followers hurriedly said: "Officer, when this river passes, there will be mountains."

Shen Yan glanced at it, and saw that the winding mountain peaks were shrouded in clouds and mist, stretching endlessly, giving them a somewhat ethereal meaning.

"Let's go." Shen Yan rode into the village.

Cen Jueming had just washed the pots and bowls, and slipped down the mountain to go to the town to buy some medicine, when three adults with horses came to meet him.

The leader is seven feet long, with a white face and no beard, his hair is tied up in a crown, and he only wears a black brocade robe with a round collar, the cuffs and ankles are tied tightly with cloth strips, and he is looking around.

It was obvious at a glance that this person was of extraordinary status, Jue Ming stopped at the same spot, ready to wait for this person to pass by before leaving.

"Hey - Cassia!"

Li Zheng called to stop the young man, turned to Shen Yan who looked over and said, "This is the son of the master of the Damo Township School, and he is more familiar with the mountains."

"He?" Shen Yan looked the child up and down twice, he was small, but his eyes were clear and clear, Shen Yan asked, "What's your name?"

Cassia: "Cen Jueming."

"Year old."

Cassia: "The virtual age is fourteen."

Shen Yan said: "It looks like a ten-year-old doll, okay, you will lead the way."

Jueming hesitated, why did Lizheng find a child to take him into the mountain by coincidence?

Lizheng coughed in a low voice, "Jaeming, this is the county magistrate. Wang Wenqi has entered the city today, and your legs and feet are more agile than mine..."

——No, there are still those two people on the mountain.

Thinking of this, Caesar's expression changed slightly, he immediately nodded in response to Li Zheng's words, and walked ahead swiftly to lead the way.

Shen Yan followed this thin child, after all, Cassia was a child, and the change of expression on his face could be seen at a glance, Shen Yan thought playfully in his heart: What made him suddenly change his mind to lead the way?

Halfway through the journey, Jue Ming saw a ball of fiery red moving slowly among the mountains from a distance, and thought something was wrong in his heart.

If they happened to bump into the county magistrate, the origin of the two was unknown, and if they were charged with harboring a fugitive, the village would suffer endless disasters.

Jueming walked to the side without a trace.

Shen Yan immediately realized, "Why don't you take the path?"

Jue Ming thought up his words early, and replied, "Going this way can save half of the journey."

After all, Jue Ming was from Da Mo Township, Shen Yan had no doubts about him, so he followed him directly.

After walking for a while, Jueming found that the fiery red ball seemed to be getting closer to his group.

There was a sound of running, and Li Xiurong jumped out from the grass, just in time to bump into Cassia.

The two thought of going together.

Cassia turned his head, couldn't help closing his eyes and holding his forehead.

"Jinshan!" Li Xiurong only had this life-saving straw in his eyes at the moment, and grabbed him, "Come on! Wu Yuan has a high fever!"

"Isn't there some wine!" Jueming said, "Wipe his body."

Li Xiurong jumped anxiously, "I thought it was what you wanted to drink, so I haven't moved!"

"Have you ever seen a few kids drinking alcohol!!?"

Jueming turned to look at the magistrate, the magistrate frowned, one hand was already on the hilt of the sword.

Jueming opened his mouth and explained: "Master County Magistrate, this is..."

Li Xiurong jumped: "He is dying!"

Shen Yan pushed the hilt of his sword into the scabbard, inexplicably felt that the young man's face looked familiar, but there were so many people in this place, it was not the time to recognize people and reminisce about the old days, so Shen Yan nodded and tacitly allowed Jue Ming to come forward.

It was too late to explain now, Jue Ming gritted his teeth and rushed towards the place where Li Xiurong was staying.

In the haystack, Wu Yuan's complexion was really red and his whole body was hot.

Jue Ming squatted down first, and took wine as an emergency, Shen Yan asked two followers to stand outside the house, and followed Jue Ming into the house, he already remembered who the boy in front of him was.

"Li Yanei, we have met before." Shen Yan said: "Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the Lingtang even invited me to your residence as a guest."

When Li Xiurong heard that someone was planning to get married, he thought about it for a while, and he really thought of it. At that time, several Beijing officials in the garden were drinking and having fun, and took the opportunity to get acquainted. Only one person ran to the tank in the courtyard to look at the moon in the water. and aquatic plants.

Isn't that man the one in front of me! ?Li Xiurong made a look of sudden realization, "Oh - you are -"

Shen Yan cupped his hands and said, "Shen Yan, the county magistrate of Yang County."

"It turns out to be the county magistrate Shen. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Li Xiurong cupped his hands carelessly, and his eyes drifted to Jue Ming again.

——Can Wu Yuan be cured?

Shen Yan lowered his hands, looked away from Li Xiurong, and didn't ask him why he ended up here and was so embarrassed.

Li Xiurong didn't care to deal with Shen Yan, and stared blankly at Jue Ming as he lifted off Wu Yuan's clothes that had been torn by the sword, revealing a festering wound.

Judging from the medical conditions in ancient times, it may not be easy to treat.

Caesar put down the coarse cloth for wiping, and said to Li Xiurong, "You squeeze out the pus and blood from his wound until the blood gushes out."

Li Xiurong raised his eyebrows with a delicate expression.

Seeing this, Shen Yan opened the door, let the two come in, and carried Wu Yuan away for treatment.

"Should Li Yanei go down the mountain to recuperate first? Shen is the county magistrate in Yang County, and he should do his best as a landlord."

The implication is: I am the boss here, I will treat you to dinner and lodging when you come.

Shen Yan is considered as half of Weng Weng's student, and there is nothing wrong with communicating with each other. Li Xiurong nodded his thanks and asked, "Magistrate Shen, what are you doing here today?"

"I heard that Panshan worships the mountain god, so I came here specially to pay respects." Shen Yan replied.

"Mountain God?" Li Xiurong turned his head to look at Jue Ming suspiciously, and Jue Ming paused for packing the wine bottle.

"Hmph, we'll settle the feud with you later." Li Xiurong's "revenge" refers to the grudge that Jinshan cheated on his jade pendant.

Jueming thought that Li Xiurong's enmity was the enmity of copper plates, so he didn't take it seriously, "I'm waiting anytime."

With County Magistrate Shen backing Li Xiurong, he cast a bullish glance at Caesar Ming, followed by Shen Yan's entourage, and strode down the mountain with his head held high.

Before Jue Ming could make a sound to stop him, Li Xiurong had already disappeared, and he could not be seen as someone who had been injured.

Not long after, a scream resounded through the forest.

Cassia Fu forehead, this person is really stupid.

Li Xiurong's legs are so big, and he runs downhill so fast, he can't hold back his momentum, and it is inevitable that he will fall somewhere.

Shen Yan followed and continued to walk up the mountain. Even though it was March and the sun rose at noon, climbing the mountain was still a bit scorching hot, and there was no one around. Shen Yan lifted his robe and tied it around his waist, and his steps were a little looser.

Before becoming the county magistrate, Shen Yan didn't just study how to be an official, but learned a lot of kung fu. He didn't feel tired at the moment, and looking at the fast-moving Cassia ahead, he didn't show any signs of being tired. .

——No wonder he dared to go hunting in the mountains at such a young age.

Cassia didn't talk much, and brought the honorable county magistrate to the small pool safely.Shen Yan paid homage to the stone statue of the mountain god, wandered around the small pool for a few times, but couldn't see anything unusual here, so he asked Caesar to take him down the mountain.

The county magistrate came and left quickly, and Damo Township returned to its usual peace and tranquility. Unexpectedly, only two days after the county magistrate left, an unexpected visitor came to Damo Township.

Li Xiurong.

"Lizheng! Lizheng!"

From afar, Li Xiurong's voice came from the sedan chair. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Xiurong held the sedan chair door, got out of the sedan chair, and ran to the front of the ancestral hall, "Lizheng, I want to live here!"

When Lizheng heard the sound, Li Xiurong tore off the money bag from his waist and stuffed it in his hand, "I heard that there are still some old houses in Damo Township, how about giving them to us."

"I don't know if you are..." Li Zheng didn't accept money.

"It's okay to tell you—" Li Xiurong said, "I want to recuperate here." By the way, he avoided the limelight.

"Here, this is the letter from County Magistrate Shen." Li Xiurong took out the letter and handed it to Li Zheng, who was guaranteed by the county magistrate. After reading it, Li Zheng closed the letter and said, "Come with me."

The sedan chair followed Li Xiurong, and Li Xiurong followed Li Zheng, walking towards the south of the village.

When they arrived at the mud house at the foot of the mountain in the south of the village, Li Zheng took out the key, unlocked the door, and pushed open the courtyard door.

The courtyard wall made of mud surrounds four green brick and tile houses, although they are simple, they can still be lived in.

"This house is so dilapidated, it must have been around for quite a while." Li Xiurong caught a glimpse of the persimmon tree in the courtyard, the canopy of which stretched out of the courtyard wall, and asked casually, "Who's next to it?"

"There are three members of the Cen family." Li Zheng said, "Students."

As soon as Lizheng finished speaking, the small door in the courtyard next to him creaked open, and a person flashed out from the door.

Jue Ming, who was out hunting, quickly closed the courtyard door, turned his head, and met Li Xiurong's eyes.

Li Xiurong: "!"

Cassia: "?"

Li Zheng: "Boy Cen, you came just in time. Li Yanei is going to live in Damo Township temporarily. You guys come here before him. If you need anything, you can help me a little bit."

"Me?" Jueming kept moving his hands, locked the courtyard door, and his mind was racing.

——This stupid kid wants to live in Damo Township? !

"Lizheng!" Jue Ming raised his voice and said sincerely: "This place is so dilapidated, how dare we let Li Yanei live in it! Isn't there a few newly built houses behind the ancestral hall?!"

"I think this place is good!" Li Xiurong finalized, "Put everything in there!"

Jueming watched helplessly as bedding, saluting, cooking utensils, fruits and vegetables entered the small courtyard next to him.

On the sedan chair, Wu Yuan was helped to get off the sedan chair slowly, bowing to Lizheng: "Master Lizheng, please."

"No trouble. If you want to drink water, go to the river to pick it up. I'll ask the villagers to bring some firewood. In the future, you can either gather firewood or buy it from the village." Li was talking, pulling Jueming towards Li Xiurong. Pushed, "This is Cen Jueming next door, if you don't understand anything, just ask him."

Li Xiurong nodded with a smile and watched Lizheng leave.

After unloading the sedan chairs and carriages, they returned to the city one after another.

Li Xiurong shouted: "Cen Jueming!"

"What?"

Cassia raised his foot.

"Aren't you called Jinshan!" Li Xiurong gritted his teeth.

"That's a nickname!" After answering, there was a wind under Jue Ming's feet, and he walked towards the mountain road at high speed, and his name was spit out from Li Xiurong's mouth again. Nowhere to be seen.

Returning home empty-handed in the evening, when he walked to the door, Jueming unloaded the wooden bow and arrow and walked into the courtyard.

Cen Daonian waved cheerfully: "The dog is home, come here, Caesar, this is our new neighbor, Li Xiurong."

The wind in March is very noisy.

The sun stretched the shadow long, and Jueming stepped into the yard with heavy steps against the afterglow, and hung the wooden bow and arrow on the wall.

Li Xiurong held his airs and sat on a small bench the size of a palm in the courtyard.

Cassia had selective amnesia, and said hello with his hands.

Li Xiurong nodded, turned his head and confessed to Cassia, "To be honest, Big Brother Cen, the person who saved Wu Yuan and me in the mountains a few days ago was Jinshan."

Cen Daonian: "Huh?"

Li Xiurong changed his words: "It is Cassia."

"Oh—" Cen Daonian was stunned, and hurriedly said, "It's all fate."

What fate, if it is fate, it is also evil fate!Cassia curled his lips slightly, "I'll cook!"

"Remember to cook meals for Li Yanei and the others," Cen Daonian reminded.

Cassia clenched his fists.

Li Xiurong saw Cassia Ming's deflated expression, his face was full of joy, and he followed Cassia Ming into the East Kitchen.

Cassia turned around and stretched out his hand.

"What?" Li Xiurong subconsciously clutched his purse tightly.

"Food money."

Li Xiurong got up with a "huh" and rushed out of the yard.

Cassia left Li Xiurong angrily, humming a song to fetch water from a bucket.

As soon as he turned around, there was a pile of things piled up at the door of East Kitchen, and Caesar opened it to see that rice, noodles, meat, eggs, and vegetables were all available.

Li Xiurong gritted his teeth and put down half a bag of rice, and wiped the thin sweat from his brow, "I can't eat your food for nothing, can the grain be used as food money?"

Did he really take it seriously when he asked him to take the meal money?Jue Ming choked and wanted to refuse, Li Xiurong hurriedly said: "The two of us don't know how to cook, so I will trouble you!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly lifted his legs and slipped away, Jue Ming grabbed his sleeve with sharp eyesight and quick hands, "Stop!"

"What's wrong?" Li Xiurong turned his head, "We really don't know how to cook..."

"Then you are in charge of cleaning the dishes." Jue Ming would not really beg Li Xiurong for the food. Seeing Li Xiurong nodding, he thought he agreed. An egg, a piece of lean meat.

Smoke rose from the roof, and the sound of kitchen knives hitting the chopping board came from inside the door. Cen Chaoan came home from playing outside, holding two stalks of dogtail grass in one hand.

Cen Daonian patted his thigh, "Come on, son, don't hinder your brother from cooking."

Cen Chaoan stuck to his father again, seeing another stranger in the yard, he called his brother crisply, Cen Daonian introduced: "This is my youngest son, Cen Chaoan."

Li Xiurong nodded, walked to the door and searched, and came back with a few foxtails. He found a rough porcelain vase with a chip in it, filled it with water, and placed it next to the egg shell on the window.

With bright eyes, Cen Chaoan raised his small hand and inserted his own foxtail into it. The setting sun made the shadow of the foxtail slender and thin, and the smoke cleared away. Caesar came out with a stack of bowls, "Move the table to eat."

Cen Chaoan cheered, Li Xiurong went to help Cen Daonian carry the wooden table, put the bowl on the table, Cassia Ming brought out the dinner, a handful of green onions sprinkled before serving the pot, burst out a unique fragrance, Cen Chaoan frowned: "I don't I like onions."

Li Xiurong also showed a disgusted expression on his face.

Cassia quickly filled a bowl for Cen Daonian, and said, "It's smart to eat green onions."

"This statement is new." Li Xiurong stared at the scallions floating on the hand-rolled noodles, and took two bites.

Li Xiurong: "..."

Silently poohing, Li Xiurong picked up the scallions and said cordially: "I'm already smart enough, come on, Xiao Chaoan, eat more." Saying this, Li Xiurong gave Cen Chaoan all the scallions in the bowl, facing each other wolf.

After finishing the meal, Jue Ming noticed that Li Xiurong's companion hadn't come yet, so he asked, "Where's your companion?"

"He's injured too badly and can't move around." Li Xiurong still had noodles stuffed in his mouth, muttering, "I'll just give him some later."

Jueming held the bowl, "Later the noodles will be all glued together, you can eat first." After saying that, he took the bowl to the east courtyard and knocked on the wooden door of the west chamber.

"Who?" Wu Yuan touched the hilt of the sword beside him, and the voice came from inside.

"Jaeming, the food delivery." Jueming held the bowl, and before he could get up from the bed, he pushed open the door and put the bowl on the table, "Excuse me."

"It's okay." Wu Yuan cupped his hands: "Brother Cen, I haven't thanked you for saving my life. Wait for Wu to recover from his injury..."

"Hey!" Jue Ming interrupted him: "Get up and eat quickly, the noodles won't taste good if they clump together."

Wu Yuan was lifted from the bed by Jue Ming, and leaned against the bed. Caesar Ming wrapped a cloth and handed the bowl to Wu Yuan, and brought him a pair of chopsticks.

In the yard on the other side of the persimmon tree, two voices who don't eat onions yelled loudly, Wu Yuan held the bowl and said, "Brother Laocen."

Jueming quickly waved his hands, "It's all right, your rice is served last, and the meat sinks below, you eat first, I'm going back..."

Cassia Ming's voice gradually died down, Wu Yuan raised his head, only to see a piece of clothes disappearing at the door.

If it wasn't for this child, I'm afraid the officials couldn't easily take him out of the deep mountain.

Wu Yuan moved his chopsticks, and under the green onion, the white strips of noodles were very chewy, and the noodle soup was refreshing, and the bottom of the bowl was just like what Cassia Ming said, all that sank was meat.

When Li Xiurong came back, Wu Yuan's face was full of embarrassment, "Officials, it's all Wu Yuan's disadvantage."

With a wave of his hand, Li Xiurong sat on the edge of the bed, with one leg crossed over the other, and said casually, "Young master doesn't blame you, it's all the fault of those people, they insisted on chasing and killing me."

——That's because the official is the most favored person in the Li family since he was a child. If he catches up with him, he might threaten the old man with his life to compromise something.

——Fortunately, the officials are safe and sound now.

"When can we go back?" Li Xiurong sighed, "It's not good to eat here, and we have to live in such a dilapidated house."

"I've made the officials suffer. When I recover from my injuries, I'll go and inquire immediately." Wu Yuan lowered his head.

"Hey, I don't blame you at all, that's all, just make do with it, it's quite new here." Li Xiurong yawned, "You should rest first."
