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

Xu Wenyan picked a corner.

Zhang Chao's wife took a branch and started to clean up.

"Hey, Brother Xu. I'll go find some straw to lie on, and we'll make do here together tonight." After saying that, Zhang Chao dragged his shackles out.

Xu Wenyan knew that he also wanted to find someone to cooperate with.

After all, there are three people in their family, and he is the only man. Also, seeing that Xu Wenyan is the same person, the two families will be less likely to be bullied if they are combined.

The people in this family are all good, so Xu Wenyan is not resistant.

Zhang Chao’s wife is a quiet person. Qianqian followed her closely and stopped crying now.

As for the group of soldiers, they had their own packages.

A group of people gathered together, made a fire and rested.

In order to curry their favor with them, many people took the initiative to find firewood for them and clean the floor.

Xu Wenyan couldn't sit still either. He had to go out and find something before it got completely dark. Not to mention food, at least some firewood would be fine.

As for Xu Dashan, he cannot be with Xu Wenyan all the time. He also has to build good relationships with several other officials.

After all, there are only four people in the county government including myself.

People from the capital make up the majority.

Xu Dashan sat down next to Manager Wu and handed him a fox fur scarf. "I've heard of Manager Wu a long time ago. It's a blessing for me to be able to work with you this time."

Manager Wu first took a look at the fur, which was of fairly good quality.

After receiving it, Manager Wu found ten taels of silver in his scarf and laughed, "What blessing is this? I am just a small official in charge of escorting."

Xu Dashan smiled humbly: "What are you talking about, Manager Wu? We are new here and we are counting on you to take care of us along the way."

Manager Wu also smiled and nodded: "Well, I accept your kindness. We are all brothers in the future, and we will come back together when the time comes."

Afterwards, Xu Dashan asked some more questions about the border. He was just a private and did not know as much as Manager Wu.

Especially in this route arrangement.

You always have to be prepared.

Xu on this side went out with the chain in his hand: "This broken thing is really inconvenient to do anything with."

Many things were hard to recognize in the dim sunlight. Xu Wenyan picked some herbs to treat the redness and swelling. Although the efficacy was not the best, it at least provided some relief.

January was a really awkward season. There was nothing to eat in the mountains. Xu Wenyan walked under a tree and found a lot of sawdust on the ground.

He began to dig in the direction of the wood chips, and soon saw a big fat worm in the tree hole.

He wasn't going to eat these things yet, so he fiddled with them and then let them go.

After another walk in the woods, he picked up some firewood and returned to the temple. He should be able to see Chen Sanlin and the others later.

When Xu Wenyan came back, the corner was already covered with hay, so he could sleep there at night.

"Brother, you're back."

Xu Wenyan nodded and put the wood away.

The others had about a dozen people sharing one fire, but Xu Wenyan had fewer people here, so they needed to find more firewood.

They all borrowed the power from Manager Wu.

Fortunately, Manager Wu is not the kind of arrogant and domineering person.

Xu Wenyan folded a banana leaf in half and fixed it with a stick: "Zhang Chao, use this to scoop some water back."

"well."

Xu Wenyan put the scooped water on the fire to boil. As long as he controlled it properly, the leaves would not be burned.

The tops of the leaves were burnt and curled by the fire, but the leaves just wouldn't fall apart.

Soon the water was boiled, and several people took turns drinking some and it was gone.

"Brother, you are so awesome. You can do this." Zhang Chao praised Xu Wenyan without hesitation.

He originally wanted to drink it directly.

Rural people didn't care about anything and most of them just drank it with raw water.

But Xu Wenyan knew that there were a terrifying number of parasites in this raw water.

Rural people rarely get sick because they are in good physical condition, but generally speaking, few people drink it directly.

Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "Nothing."

Zhang Qianqian held the banana leaf and sipped the last bit of water: "Daddy, I'm hungry."

Zhang Chao was about to take out some dried sweet potatoes from his pocket when Xu Wenyan stopped him: "Eat this." Xu Wenyan took out a few kiwis from his pocket.

This kiwi fruit is about the size of half an egg. It is very soft when squeezed. It is ripe as can be, but probably a little rotten. You can smell a slight fermentation.

There were three fruits on those four or five vines.

"Brother, keep it for yourself." Zhang Chao also knew how rare this thing was. He had already accepted Xu Wenyan's favor and didn't want to owe him too much.

Xu Wenyan stuffed the fruit into the little girl's hand and said, "Let Qianqian eat it. If you don't eat the fruit today, it will go bad." Xu Wenyan demonstrated by peeling one.

Sure enough, the flesh inside was ripe. Qianqian followed Xu Wenyan's example, peeled the kiwi fruit, and took a bite.

Then a smile appeared on her face: "It's so sweet, thank you uncle." Qianqian held the fruit to her mother's mouth: "Mother, you eat it too."

Zhang Chao's wife took a sip and patted the little girl's head: "Qianqian is so good."

"Daddy, you eat too."

"Okay." Zhang Chao also took a small bite and left the rest to his daughter.

Xu Wenyan finished one in two bites and it tasted okay.

Looking at this picture, Xu Wenyan felt happy.

At this time, Xu Dashan came over: "Wen Yan, you get up first."

Xu Dashan spread out the quilt he brought with him: "Sit down."

With an additional layer of barrier, Xu Wenyan felt much better. If the human body were to come into direct contact with the ground, there would be a high probability that he would get sick and catch a cold tomorrow.

Zhang Chao's family didn't show any envy. Xu Wenyan had been very kind to them.

After Xu Wenyan sat down, Xu Dashan sat down next to him.

"Brother, are you on duty tonight?"

Xu Dashan turned his head and looked at Xu Wenyan and said with a smile: "That fellow Chen Sanlin is in the back, right? My people are on duty in the second half of the night, wait until after the hour of Yin to find me."

"Okay, big brother, this is for you." Xu Wenyan handed the last kiwi fruit to Xu Dashan.

Xu Dashan took it with a smile: "I remember this fruit was sour, why is the one you gave so sweet?"

"It's sour because it's picked before it's ripe. It's still very sweet when it's ripe."

After finishing his two bites, Xu Dashan brought another pile of firewood: "I still have some on my back, you can cover yourself and sleep with me for a while."

Both of them leaned against the wall, and Xu Wenyan placed the quilt horizontally: "I can just lean against the wall, big brother, you should also rest early."

Looking at the younger brother beside him.

The stone in Xu Dashan's heart finally seemed to be settling down.

When he was a child, his younger brother was always following him around. Although he didn't pay much attention to him, his younger brother always smiled gently.

Although he changed his appearance when he grew up, Xu Dashan knew that his brother would always be a gentle person.

He will also try his best to make up for what he owed to his younger brother when he was a child.
