Married a scholar

▍I also encountered this kind of thing when I went to the mountain.

The five members of He Chengye's family naturally expressed their sincerity, not to mention the return to freedom that they expected. As a slave who was bought back, and they are still contracted to death, heartfeltness is inevitable.

Meng Yining finished his meal, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "If there are no outsiders, you can call me Young Master Ning, you can call me Young Master, and you don't need to call yourself slaves on weekdays, our family doesn't like those."

Although the master sounds a bit uncomfortable, he will not say no to the call, but he can limit it a little.

After the matter was finished, it was almost time for lunch.

He Chengye and his son looked after the homestead, and Aunt He and his mother and daughter looked after them at home. After a short lunch break, Meng Yining took Xia Wenze and He Fangyi to Jiajiao Mountain.

Jiajiao Mountain is also very lively here. There must be at least 30 to [-] people who come to work. Meng Yining did not ask them to cut down trees in the early stage, but asked them to clean up the weeds and stones on Jiajiao Mountain first.

Because Jiajiao Mountain is in the middle of Daqingshan and Xiaoqingshan, the overall shape of the mountain is a triangle, wide at the front and narrow at the back.There is also a groundwater passing through behind it, and the creek formed by flowing through it is about five meters long, one meter wide, and half a meter deep. The water quality is crystal clear.

Meng Yining took the two of them around and shot a few hares and pheasants. He was very satisfied with Jiajiao Mountain. Apart from the trouble of being too close to Daqing Mountain, the underground water was what surprised him the most.

It will be very convenient to water the fruit trees in the future, otherwise he will have to find a way to find someone to dig a well here, otherwise watering will be a big problem.

Whether it is far away from the well in his house or the well in the village, let alone the river in the village.

Now there is a creek formed by the flow of groundwater, which undoubtedly saves him a lot of trouble.

He Fangyi was a few steps behind the two of them, holding the pheasant and hare Meng Yining had called in his hand, and looked at everything around him with a relaxed expression.

He likes here, and also likes the two current masters.Even if he can't regain his freedom in the future, he is willing to stay here.

Most of the women who come to work in Jiajiao Mountain have no other choice. The only strong laborers in Shangyao Village are those who open kilns, burn bricks and tiles, and build houses. The village head is in charge of cleaning up the mountain. The fast-working women in the village, and the workers in Shangqing Village all went to the homestead to help.

Meng Yining recruited the fourth cousin who was in charge of Jiajiao Mountain, "Sitang brother, after the weeds on the mountain are cleaned up, you and someone will cut down the mature trees in the mountain that can be used to make furniture and build houses. Look at those small saplings, dig out all the ones that can be transplanted, and I will be useful."

Xia Wenli wrote down what he said, and asked, "Okay, I've written it all down, but is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"Yes." Xia Wenze instructed from the side: "Let them pay attention to safety when working, so as not to get hurt. Especially pay attention not to be bitten by snakes." Ordinary injuries are fine, but I am afraid of picking up weeds Was bitten by a poisonous snake.

Xia Wenli's expression turned serious when he heard the words. This is the most important thing. He has already said it this morning, and he will go and tell him again later, so don't accidentally be bitten by a poisonous snake.

After the instructions here, Xia Wenze separated from Meng Yining. Meng Yining continued to take He Fangyi to familiarize himself with his field, while Xia Wenze went to the homestead to look at it, and then went to Xiaoqingshan to look at the bricks and tiles. thing.

The mountains are green and green, the wind carries the fragrance of flowers and the vitality of this season. Meng Yining pointed out the lands of his family to He Fangyi one by one, and said to him: "You also need to get familiar with the things in these fields." , although you may not necessarily be able to go to the field, but you have to be able to, otherwise you will not know if the worker you find makes a mistake."

Planting crops is also a science, when to plant, when to harvest, when to water, and when to fertilize.Even though he did a lot of work in the last days, most of his time was spent collecting supplies and killing zombies.

He also doesn't know much about farming. If he didn't inherit the memory of the original owner, he wouldn't look like an old farmer.

"I'll get familiar with it as soon as possible." He Fangyi nodded seriously, and firmly remembered the location of the field that Meng Yining told him.

"Huh?" When going downhill, Meng Yining felt something was wrong out of the corner of his right eye, turned his head in doubt, and was startled.

"Master, this, this." He Fangyi stuttered a little from the stimulation he saw in front of him, and even wanted to hide behind Meng Yining a little scared.Fortunately, I held back.

Meng Yining told him to stand here and not move, "I'll go and have a look."

Meng Yining looked at four or five graves one after another, carefully avoiding the thrown bones, and noticed some traces, squatting down to look carefully, after confirming that it was man-made, Meng Yining got up and looked around again in a circle.

He is walking on a small path, and there are not many people usually walking on it, not to mention that the land on the mountain has already been planted, and he took this path after taking He Fangyi to recognize his own land, so he didn't know that he would encounter this kind of road thing.

The reason why this road is rarely taken is that this is the ancestral graveyard of the Zhao family. The right side is full of the tombs of the Zhao family’s ancestors.

So few people go here.

Meng Yining frowned, walked around again, and called He Fangyi, "Let's go, we have to inform the Zhao family." Although he disliked many people in the Zhao family, this kind of thing is not a problem. When angry.

What's more, the ancestral graves of the Zhao family have been dug up, and I don't know what happened to the ancestral graves of the Meng family and the Xia family. You must know that the ancestors of the three major clans have all been officials, and there are many funeral objects. Zhao's side has also been poached.

Meng Yining frowned. To be honest, he hates tomb robbers the most. They just take the funeral objects and forget about them. What he hates are those who throw away the bones after taking the objects.

Just like Zhao's side.

He just felt that something was wrong out of the corner of his eye, because he seemed to see something like a bone, and it turned out to be true.

It's just not animal bones, but human bones.

"Master, is that someone's tomb was robbed?" It was the first time that He Fangyi had encountered such a thing in person, and his heart was still pounding when he thought of those bones thrown around just now.

Even in broad daylight, seeing so many corpses suddenly would shock anyone.

"Well. It should be." I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I went to the mountain.Meng Yining took He Fangyi to the patriarch's house of the Zhao clan. He had to notify the Zhao clan first, and then let the Xia clan and the Meng clan go to the ancestral grave.

The ancestral graves of the three surnames were all selected in a place where few people go on weekdays. If Zhao's was dug up, even Xia's and Meng's would not be spared.

In modern times, people would be scolded for digging up ancestral graves, let alone this era.

Some made trouble.

"Grandpa Zhao, are you home?" Meng Yining knocked on the courtyard door.

Mrs. Zhao stood at the door of the main room and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

Recognizing whose voice it was, Meng Yining replied loudly: "Grandma Zhao Zu, it's me, Brother Ning."

"Grandma, don't move, I'll open the door." Zhao Xi put down the needlework in his hand, and ran over to open the courtyard door in a few steps, "Brother Ning, why are you here?"

"I'm here to find Grandpa Zhao." Meng Yining nodded at him, he had nothing to do with Zhao Xi, the main reason was that this person was like a lady from a great family, staying at home all day, either doing housework or embroidery.Although the two are about the same age, they rarely meet each other a few times throughout the year.

"Grandpa went to the brick kiln." Zhao Xi asked him to come in and sit for a while. His grandpa was already in his 70s, and he was in good health. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no shortage of labor at home, grandpa would even go to the field to help. live.

I really can't be idle today, I heard that the brick kiln opened, so I went to join in the fun after dinner.

"Are you looking for grandpa for something?"

"I just came down from the mountain and passed by your Zhao family's ancestral tombs. I saw several ancestral tombs were robbed, and the bones inside were thrown everywhere." Meng Yining didn't go in. I have to go to the Xia clan and the Meng clan chiefs.

"What, our Zhao family's ancestral grave was stolen?" Grandma Zhao walked to the gate of the courtyard with a look of shock and anger, "Brother Ning, can you see clearly?"

"Well, you go and have a look, I have to send someone to our Xia family and Meng family to have a look." Meng Yining nodded, and took He Fangyi away after speaking.

In fact, he didn't feel much about this kind of thing, after all, he had seen too much in the last days.It's just that now he is Meng Yining of the Meng family in Shangyao Village, and he has a responsibility that belongs to the descendants of the Meng family.

"Young master, do you want to report to the officials?" He Fangyi didn't know how this kind of thing was handled in the countryside, but he had heard about how other families in the county were robbed of their ancestral graves. While reporting to the officials, his family paid for the investigation.

"I will report to the officials." This Meng Yining was very sure that there were members of the Xia family who were officials, and so did the Meng family.Whether or not to find out is one thing, but whether to do it or not is another.

"Why is Brother Ning here?" Grandma Yu put down the dustpan in her hand, and when she saw the people at the gate of the courtyard, she hurriedly smiled and asked people to come in, "What's the matter?"

"Grandma Yu, isn't Grandpa Tang here?" The current patriarch of the Meng family is the first cousin of Mr. Meng, and he is an upright person. It's just that the older generation had a quarrel, which caused the following generations to not move around much.

Grandma Yu was kind to Meng Yining, and it was because the original body once helped Grandma Yu who accidentally twisted her foot while beating pigweed, so she got the old man's favor.

On weekdays, he often stuffed food for the original owner in private.

"The old man can't help but go wandering in the fields." Grandma Yu asked the two of them to come in and sit down, and warmly brought food for them, "Hurry up, isn't the house under construction at home? What happened?"

Meng Yining didn't refuse the old man's enthusiasm, he took a candied fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, and motioned for He Fangyi, who was a little cautious, to eat it too, "Well, I just came from the Zhao family's ancestral grave, and several of their ancestral graves were stolen. , I thought about coming here and asking Grandpa Tang to find someone to visit the ancestral graves of our Meng family and Xia family."

"What, the Zhao family's ancestral grave was stolen?" Grandma Yu frowned, her voice full of anger, "These gang of murderers have stolen into our village."

"Huh?" Meng Yining asked after hearing the words: "Why, there are other villages that have been robbed?" How do you hear what Grandma Yu said, is this still a crime?

"No." Grandma Yu said: "Xihua Village knows it. I heard that several ancestral graves were stolen during the last market, and the bones were thrown everywhere. I reported to the police and didn't catch anyone." Grandma Yu After finishing speaking, he stood up and said, "No, I have to find someone to take a look."

If the funerary object is stolen, you can only consider yourself unlucky, but you can't let the ancestor's bones hang outside.

[I remember that one year the tomb robbery was really rampant, and many graves were robbed.The mountain gate was wide open, and human bones were thrown everywhere.Several villages I knew in those two years were not spared.Every time I pass by it is trembling.Those who have descendants are cleaned up, and those who have no descendants are not cleaned up, just hang out.Very scary. 】
