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

Ever since Mubarakzhi's legs were treated, the villagers seemed to be much friendlier towards Xu Wenyan.

Early this morning, Xu Wenyan prepared to go and see how Mubarak was recovering.

The villagers on the road would greet Xu Wenyan when they saw him, even though Xu Wenyan didn't understand what they were saying.

When Bayibu saw Xu Wenyan coming in, he quickly made room for him.

"Xiao Chen, come and take a look. He has had a fever since this morning." Baibu's face was full of worry.

Xu Wenyan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the dense beads of sweat on Mubarak's forehead. He wiped it clean with a towel and touched it with the back of his hand. It was indeed a little hot.

"It's normal to have a fever. Don't cover his leg with a blanket. I can't see anything for now, but the bleeding has stopped, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Baibulian nodded and said, "After you told me to do that yesterday, I didn't cover him with a blanket."

After teaching the village head's wife how to decoct the medicine again, Xu Wenyan left.

There are still many things at home that need him, and there is a part of the land that has been left empty, so he must plant something there as soon as possible.

It’s different in border areas. Around October, plants don’t grow much, and it starts snowing in November and December.

The snow will continue to fall until February or March of next year.

For example, crops in the southern region can be harvested twice or even three times a year.

But it doesn't work here.

"Xiao Man, Lao Luo, please turn over these fields. Brother Chen and I still have to go to the county."

When I went to the county two months ago, I heard that a senior official had come to the county. I didn’t know how Lancheng was doing now and whether it had developed better.

"Okay, it's just a small job, just go ahead and don't worry." Luo Sanyuan waved at the two of them.

He could also do other things with Xiaoman without them disturbing him.

Riding on the camel, Xu Wenyan still felt that he was more suited to riding a horse.

Looking into the distance, the Gobi Desert is no longer so yellow, and some green can gradually be seen.

In particular, the grove of trees on the other side of the river has begun to sprout new buds.

Chen Sanlin stretched out his arms and hugged Xu Wenyan, burying his head in Xu Wenyan's neck.

Feeling the warm breath on his neck, Xu Wenyan looked back slightly: "What's wrong? Brother Chen."

"Um......"

"Wife, you mentioned that thing before..." Chen Sanlin became uneasy, and his tone of voice was a little sad: "What if you suddenly go back one day..."

Xu Wenyan raised his head and looked at the dim sky.

Xu Wenyan himself had no idea about this matter.

Remember the dream I had before? What does that dream imply?

The feeling in the dream is so real. If one day I really leave this world...

Xu Wenyan shook his head and smiled: "No, don't you follow me all the time? Even if I go back, you will definitely follow me."

"What if there is no..."

"Nothing will happen." Xu Wenyan said firmly: "Brother Chen, there is no bullshit "What if", you are my man, you can't run away in this life."

Xu Wenyan stroked Chen Sanlin's big hand with his left hand, hoping that this would make him feel more at ease.

The warm liquid slowly flows into the neck.

The person behind him nodded slowly.

Xu Wenyan felt as if his heart was being torn apart by a knife. It had been a long time since he had felt this way...

"Brother Chen, you have to follow me closely."

"Will do."

The two of them didn't talk much along the way.

I don't know when this feeling started, but it has bound the two of them together.

For a long time.

Feeling the slight trembling of the man behind her, Xu Wenyan understood that this might be the love that everyone envied.

Maybe......

Arrived in Lan County.

The number of people in Lan County has visibly increased today, and there are even two more guards at the city gate.

After getting off the camel, Chen Sanlin followed Xu Wenyan closely with a dazed look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xu Wenyan reached out, held his hand tightly, interlocked their fingers, and pulled him to her side.

"Didn't you tell you to follow me closely? What if I get lost?" Meeting Chen Sanlin's eyes, Xu Wenyan smiled gently.

Crystal clear liquid swirled in his eyes, and his smile remained the same.

charming.

Chen Sanlin choked up and kept nodding.

I came to the county to solve the wood problem and wanted to understand the situation in Lan County as quickly as possible.

The best way is to find someone you know.

Obviously, Xu Wenyan only knew Uncle Mulati.

There were quite a few people in front of the stall. Xu Wenyan pulled Chen Sanlin to squat beside it for a while, and only walked over after Mulati finished his work.

Murati saw the two of them.

He walked towards the two of them enthusiastically: "Now that you are here, how about you stay with us?"

"Yeah, I'm getting used to it. Uncle Murati, how is the county doing lately?"

When talking about this, the smile on Murati's face became even brighter: "You are talking about this, last month a top scholar came to the county, and I don't know why he thought of running to such a remote place.

Some said they wanted to build their homeland, and some said they could get promoted faster if they came here.”

"I don't understand what they are talking about. Anyway, he has brought a lot of people with him since he came. They seem to be craftsmen and some prisoners who are responsible for clearing the wasteland."

......

Mulati told Xu Wenyan everything that had happened in the past two months, big and small.

As for the wood, there is really no way to solve the problem for the time being.

The pharmacy did open one, saying that the diagnosis was free for the first three days, but if you wanted to buy medicine you would have to pay extra.

There is a constant flow of people in front of this pharmacy every day, but not even a single pound of medicinal materials is sold.

After chatting with Murati for a while, Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin went to the pharmacy to take a look.

This pharmacy is just a mud house and it doesn’t even have a plaque.

But it still looks exquisite.

The camel was placed at Uncle Mulati's house, and the two of them went in.

The medicine boy who was dozing off suddenly became alert.

"Huh? You two are Han Chinese, right? Are you here to take my pulse or prescribe medicine?"

Xu Wenyan propped his elbows on the wooden table that served as a counter and looked at the medicine boy with a smile: "I'm here to sell medicinal herbs. Do you accept them?"

"Well... they probably won't accept it. I can take a look at what it is and then ask the master." The medicine boy looked embarrassed.

The master was living well in the county when he was suddenly summoned by the imperial court to build a frontier fortress.

He has to stay here for at least three years, but after only one month, Yao Tong feels like his life has come to an end.

"Be quiet." Xu Wenyan took out a small bag containing more than twenty dried Cordyceps.

The little medicine boy opened the cloth bag and was dumbfounded when he saw what was inside: "Hey, this, this, big brother, wait a minute, I'll go call the master right away."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll help you look after the shop."

In less than half a minute, the old master and the little medicine boy came rushing over.

"Hey, brother, can you show me what you have in your hand?"

A middle-aged man in his forties came out, wearing a dark green gown, and he looked quite neat.

Xu Wenyan handed over the cloth bag.

The doctor took out one of the Cordyceps and examined it carefully.

"Good...it's really a good baby." Doctor Hong's face was almost blooming with smiles.

"I've only heard of Cordyceps. This is the first time I've seen it. It really opens my eyes." Doctor Hong's hands were shaking with excitement as he held the Cordyceps.

"How are these two guys going to sell it?"

Xu Wenyan also smiled and said, "I won't frame you. I heard from my friend that it can be sold for 500 coins in the capital, and more than 300 coins in other places."

When Master Hong heard the price, his expression didn't change much. It was obvious that this was within his acceptable range.

"I'll pay a maximum of 200 coins. You all know that it's not easy to transport Cordyceps from here to the Central Plains."

"Most people here can't afford it..."

Xu Wenyan could barely accept the two hundred coins.

But in the end, we bargained for the price and finally sold it at 220 wen per piece.

Xu Wenyan has twenty of them, for a total of 424.

If you specialize in reselling Cordyceps, you can earn at least 20% interest.

But this thing is rare, and most of them are directly tributed to the royal family. The scattered ones in Xu Wenyan's hands are not easy to sell.

We went to the grassland for more than a month in total, and the four of us could find an average of more than ten to twenty roots a day.

I still have four or five hundred Cordyceps at home, which is not a small number.

But Xu Wenyan did not plan to sell Cordyceps to this doctor afterwards.

He decided to carve a gift box out of wood and place the Cordyceps in a circle. The more fancy the packaging was, the more precious it appeared.

Afterwards, the Cordyceps gift boxes are divided into different prices according to size and sold to traveling merchants.

The profit at that time was much better than selling directly to pharmacies.

After leaving the store, Xu Wenyan bought some rice, flour and meat, and then spent a lot of money to buy three wooden boards, and planned to return to the village.

It would be impossible not to install a door at home, and these four people living together need privacy.

The doors to the two bedrooms must also be installed.

I have to solve the fence problem in this yard by myself.

The officials from Beijing want to develop Lan County, and the problem of building materials will definitely be solved.

By then, there will naturally be people selling wood in the county. It will definitely be more expensive, but it will be worth it.

When they returned home, Xiaoman and Luo Sanyuan had already turned the soil and picked up a lot of branches and piled them in the yard.

"Why are you back so late?"

Luo Sanyuan stepped forward and caught the three large boards.

"Isn't this just to get information? That's why I'm a little late."

After unloading the things, he installed the door without even bothering to eat.

After all, it feels more secure.

Now the camel pen has a few wooden sticks as a door, which is pretty good.

The next day, after getting up, Xu Wenyan asked the other three to work.

"You two should make more earthen bricks. They won't go bad anyway." After Xu Wenyan said this, he and Chen Sanlin walked towards the sandy ground with the firewood that Xiaoman and the others had picked up in the yard yesterday.

"Brother Chen, pick some thicker branches and stick them into the soil about one step away, deeper."

There is no problem as there is a wall made of earthen bricks on the courtyard side, but there is nothing on the watermelon field side.

When Aman helped to look after the house, he also had to watch out for sheep eating the watermelon vines.

Xu Wenyan was responsible for using the thinner branches and interlacing them back and forth.

After working for more than half an hour, they were only able to surround the area seven or eight meters away.

While the weather was still cool, Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin went to the woods again.

Xu Wenyan was holding a machete and thinking: "Brother Chen, you pick up the ground first."

"Okay, don't go far."

"Will not."

Xu Wenyan looked at the saxaul tree in front of him. The fork at the bottom was too large, blocking the growth of the plants below.

Moreover, the branches were dragging on the ground. Xu Wenyan cut off the bottom few branches and made the top a little bigger, and the tree was repaired.

It was also easier for Xu Wenyan to insert the fresh twigs.

There weren't many dry wood on the ground, after all, people from the village would come to collect firewood.

Sometimes I get used to this busy life and even feel a little addicted to it.

Xu Wenyan felt a great sense of accomplishment as he built up his own little world bit by bit.

Every brick and tile of this house was built with their hard work.

This is truly their home.

After a morning, we finally managed to fence off the watermelon field. It will definitely need to be expanded in the future.

This amount of watermelon is totally not enough.

If the villagers could set the route for the sheep and keep them away from the melon fields, there would be no need for this fence.

After all, Xu Wenyan was a new outsider and had not yet received such care from the villagers.

After finishing their work, the four people sat on the stone benches by the river.

Xu Wenyan suddenly thought of something: "Let's play a game of staring."

"What is staring blankly?" Xiaoman asked.

"Oh, oh, oh! I know." Luo Sanyuan said excitedly, "Let's see who blinks first. The one who blinks first loses!"

Xiaoman nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is."

"What?" Xu Wenyan went into the house and took out some bamboo strips.

Even though these bamboo strips have been polished very thin, they are still four or five centimeters high.

These are playing cards made of bamboo strips by Xu Wenyan. They were made not long ago, but he never had time to play with them because he was exiled.

Luo Sanyuan looked at the bamboo piece in Xu Wenyan's hand curiously: "Are you going to stare with your eyes covered with this?"

"How can you stare with your eyes covered?"

"Do you remember the easy way I taught you to remember numbers?"

Xiaoman nodded: "Yes, you have carved a lot of numbers on this bamboo slip."

"Yes, there are 2 to 10, and five different kinds of cards. Let me introduce them to you."

"Wow! Playing cards." Luo Sanyuan sat up straight: "Lao Xu, you may be good at other things, but you may not be able to beat me at playing cards."

"Not always."

Xu Wenyan explained the rules to several people, and Luo Sanyuan and Xiaoman understood them quickly. Xu Wenyan explained it to Chen Sanlin several more times, and he also knew the rules.

"We have to bet on something, otherwise it won't be fun." Luo Sanyuan put the five cards in his hand together and tapped them on his hand.

"Right."

Soon Xu Wenyan took out a piece of charcoal from the stove: "How about the winner draws the loser's face?"

"Hahaha, this is good."

Four people fight alone, and there is only one winner and one loser in each round.

The further you go, the more exciting the game becomes.

Xu Wenyan never expected that Luo Sanyuan won the first game and Xiaoman lost.

"Hehehe, Man, I won't be polite." Luo Sanyuan picked up the charcoal and slowly approached Xiaoman.

Then he wrote the word "王" on Xiaoman's forehead.

"Hahaha, Xiaoman is a big tiger."

This card game lasted for more than an hour. You may wonder why I stopped playing in the end.

because.

There is no place to paint on Chen Sanlin's face...
