Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

This time when Xu Wenyan returned to the ox cart, the three men were already waiting for him on the side.

"You haven't sold this deerskin yet?" Xu Wenyan looked at the deerskin that was still covering the backpack with some confusion.

Zhao Tiezhu was a quick-tongued person. He got angry when he recalled the boss's sarcastic look: "What are you selling? The boss wants to buy it for just one tael of silver. You might as well take it back and use it as a quilt."

Xu Wenyan walked to Chen Sanlin. In his backpack was a bag of rice and half a bag of flour, which just filled the basket.

The other two people didn't buy anything. Xiaohu also got some medicine for his grandmother. Then they each filled half a bag of rice. The rice bags were their own, and if they bought more, they would have to spend a few cents.

"Chen Sanlin, take the deerskin and I'll go sell it." Xu Wenyan said as he took Chen Sanlin back. Xiaohu followed them, and Zhao Tiezhu climbed onto the ox cart to rest.

Xu Wenyan returned to the cloth shop again: "Beautiful sister."

"Hey, isn't this my old brother? Why are you here again?" A plump middle-aged woman waved happily at Xu Wenyan.

Xiao Hu looked at the woman in her forties or fifties, and then looked at Xu Wenyan. This woman could be his grandmother, but she still called him "beautiful sister"?

Xu Wenyan took the deerskin from Chen Sanlin, who was still in a daze: "Sister, I have something good to show you."

The middle-aged woman came over, twisting her hips, touched the deerskin to feel it, and looked at the pattern. Although she had a smile on her face, this boss had been running the cloth business for several years, so it would take some discerning eyes to get by.

"This is the skin of a stag. It's big enough."

"Sister, your eyes are so sharp!" Xu Wenyan rubbed his hands again and said, "So, beautiful sister, how much do you think you'll charge me?"

Chen Sanlin didn't expect that this might be Xu Wenyan's first time coming to the cloth shop, so why did he call him so affectionately.

The middle-aged woman touched it and looked at it carefully: "It's a pity that it's not a sika deer. It's skinned fairly intact. I can give you three taels."

"How many?"

Xiaohu was stunned immediately. In fact, he had already been tempted when the meat seller said he wanted to buy it by one or two ounces. He didn't expect that the price would double just by changing the place?

Chen Sanlin on the side was also a little bit incredulous. He had obtained deerskin before, and sold it for one tael and three hundred coins at that time. Of course, the most common animals in the mountains were wild boars, rabbits and other animals, and their fur was even less valuable.

Seeing Xu Wenyan taking three taels of silver from the female boss with a smile on his face, Chen Sanlin began to look at him with some admiration.

"Sister, please pick out two quilts for me. It seems to be a little cold this autumn."

The female boss walked inside and picked out the thicker quilts in the store. The county doesn't grow cotton, so it's all imported from outside, so it's more expensive: "Sister, I'll give you a cheaper price. Give me one ounce and two hundred coins for two quids."

Xu Wenyan paid the money happily: "Sister is still the best. I will come to you again if I need anything in the future."

"What's the big deal? Walk slowly."

Chen Sanlin held the quilt in his hands and looked at Xu Wenyan who was full of joy. Upon closer inspection, he found that Xu Wenyan was indeed very handsome, very different from the men in the village. His face was small and delicate, and very attractive.

Weighing the five taels of silver in his pocket, Xu Wenyan was really a little proud. He made money quickly and spent it quickly. He originally wanted to buy something, but the ox cart was so small that it couldn't hold any more.

It took the group more than two hours to reach the village.

The fare was three cents for a round trip, so Wen Qiang could earn twelve cents a day, which was neither too much nor too little. If he met someone who asked him to carry something for him, he would charge him one more cent for that.

Xu Wenyan bought a lot of things. Chen Sanlin was carrying rice and flour on his back and holding a quilt in one hand, and he couldn't hold any more. Xu Wenyan followed behind him, carrying cloth, needles and thread, and a few packets of medicine.

Unexpectedly, Chen Sanlin walked faster and faster, and had already left several meters behind when he got off the ox cart.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast?"

But Chen Sanlin ignored him and just kept walking forward.

Xu Wenyan thought the things were too heavy and walked slowly behind, holding the two pieces of cloth.

"Damn it, I'm so tired just carrying such a small thing." Xu Wenyan felt his arms starting to ache after walking for only a few minutes, and it was getting dark. The sun sets quickly in this place.

When I just got off the bus, I could still see the sunset, but it got dark after only walking for more than ten minutes.

Just when Xu Wenyan was about to take a break, a panting figure came running over from a distance: "How is it? Can you still walk?"

He looked up and saw that it was Chen Sanlin. Chen Sanlin took everything from Xu Wenyan's hands and looked at him expressionlessly.

"You have some conscience." Although Xu Wenyan said this, he still felt that this man was careful.

Chen Sanlin didn't know if Xu Wenyan could still walk, so he just squatted on the ground: "Come up, I'll carry you back."

"Okay." Xu Wenyan really couldn't walk anymore. He ran back and forth several times on this trip to the county town, and his original body almost died suddenly.

Lying on Chen Sanlin's shoulder, Xu Wenyan only felt a smell of sweat coming at him. His clothes were also wet, probably because of running back and forth. He didn't care about anything at this time. His eyes were so tired that he fell asleep on Chen Sanlin's back.

As if sensing the movement of someone behind him, Chen Sanlin slowed down his pace and walked home in the dark.

After arriving home, Chen Sanlin had just put Xu Wenyan on the bed when he woke up.

Looking back, Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong were standing by the door frame, looking at Xu Wenyan pitifully. When they saw that their uncle had woken up, Chen Dong pulled his sister, and the two siblings ran out.

"Don't you want to sleep for a while?" Chen Sanlin sat on the bed and touched Xu Wenyan's forehead with his hand. His mother would do this when he was sick when he was a child.

Xu Wenyan only felt warmth on his forehead. The hunter's hand was really gentle.

"You haven't eaten yet? There are buns and steamed buns in the sewing kit, go and heat them up." Xu Wenyan regretted it as soon as he finished saying this: "Wait, wait, I'll do it myself."

Just as he was about to get out of bed, Chen Xiaohua came in with medicine. Chen Dong followed behind happily: "Uncle, take the medicine."

"The pack of medicine you bought today?"

Chen Xiaohua nodded.

"Thank you, Xiaohua." This time, the medicine was warm, but still as bitter as before: "Have you had dinner with your brother?"

Chen Xiaohua was about to nod when she remembered that this uncle hated children lying: "Not yet."

"Okay, the three of you wash your hands and sit at the table. We'll eat right away." Xu Wenyan walked towards the kitchen with the bowl.

Chen Xiaohua looked back at Chen Sanlin.

Chen Sanlin was also a little embarrassed. Why did he suddenly go to the children's table? "Wash your hands."

It takes no effort to heat up steamed buns and steamed buns, and they are ready in just a few minutes. When Xu Wenyan carried the plate back to the house, the two children, one adult and two children, were still sitting obediently at the table waiting to be fed.

"You and Xiaodong each get a steamed bun and a dumpling, and Chen Sanlin, you have two steamed buns." After the distribution, they sat down, but the light from the candle was too dim.

Chen Xiaohua looked at the buns in disbelief and asked in a low voice: "Can I really eat buns?"
