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

Xu Wenyan didn't sleep well last night.

When I woke up, Xiaoman and Chen Sanlin were feeding the lambs and horses.

After Xu Wenyan finished washing up, she went to cook and then pulled Luo Sanyuan off the bed.

"Brother Chen, you and Xiaoman should stay at home. The village chief may bring people to repair the factory and the sheepfold in a while.

Xiaoman, you know the structure, Brother Chen, please help me, Lao Luo and I will go to the county again."

Xu Wenyan carried a cloth bag, mounted his horse and set off with Luo Sanyuan.

"Lao Xu, why are we going today?"

Luo Sanyuan let his hair down, then he took out a black hairband from his pocket and tied it up lazily.

"Buy some good stuff."

"Good stuff? What good stuff can there be in the county?"

"Good stuff that can kill people."

Today the two of them came on horseback, and it took them about half an hour to arrive, which was much faster than coming on camels.

Xu Wenyan went straight to the pharmacy.

The medicine boy recognized him at a glance.

"You're here again, are you still selling Cordyceps?"

Xu Wenyan put the cloth bag on the table and said, "Go and call Doctor Hong."

The medicine boy did not dare to delay, and soon Doctor Hong came over. Xu Wenyan showed Doctor Hong the cleaned Cordyceps in the bag.

"Hey, Brother Chen, why do you still have so many?"

Xu Wenyan had given him more than twenty of them before, and he thought that was all they had. The scene before him really opened Dr. Hong's eyes.

"But... I don't have that much money to buy it now."

"I won't sell it. Can Dr. Hong help me exchange it for sulfur of equivalent value?"

Doctor Hong's eyes turned and he said thoughtfully, "The sulfur exchanged for so many Cordyceps is not a small amount."

"What do you need all that sulfur for?"

"Doctor Hong, you don't know that there are many snakes and insects where we live. I want to use sulfur to make some snake and insect repellent medicine, maybe I can make a small fortune."

Xu Wenyan explained that although this reason was a bit far-fetched, it was the only thing he could say.

Seeing so many Cordyceps in front of him, Doctor Hong was also tempted: "Of course, it's possible, but I don't have so much right now."

Xu Wenyan waved his hand and said, "Doctor Hong, just bring them here. I'll take as many as you can."

Doctor Hong nodded: "Okay, I'll try to help you as much as possible."

When leaving, Xu Wenyan took away all the sulfur in Dr. Hong's shop, and then went to the place where coal was sold.

There is a coal mine not far from Lan County. Coal is not expensive here, and even people in the village have the habit of burning coal in winter.

This is also the reason why a county-level city was born here.

"No, Lao Xu, how are you going to kill people by buying these things? Are you going to smoke out the enemy to death?"

Luo Sanyuan had no idea what Xu Wenyan bought.

But judging from Xu Wenyan's expression, he seemed determined to win.

"Don't worry, you'll see it soon."

The coal would be delivered to the village by horse-drawn carriage, and payment would be made upon arrival.

Xu Wenyan bought three big cars at once. Although the seller didn’t know why he bought so many, he was the one who made money anyway.

Afterwards, the two of them acted separately, and Luo Sanyuan went to the cloth spinning mill to buy two large rolls of linen thread, which was both cheap and sturdy.

Xu Wenyan went to buy a medium-sized mortar.

He planned to make a pull-type fuse. He only needed to quickly pull the hemp rope in the explosives to cause friction between the gunpowder inside and produce sparks.

There is no need to worry about a quick explosion here. Xu Wenyan will make a partition that can control the time of the explosion of the explosives based on the combustible materials inside.

If it is used for ambush, it would be better to make it instant.

Today's trip cost me about fifty or sixty taels of silver, and I will have to wait for the sulfur to arrive before I spend another sum of money.

After the two met at the city gate, they prepared to go back.

"Xu Wenyan, tell me, what are you going to do?"

Seeing him buy so many strange things, Luo Sanyuan became more and more curious about what Xu Wenyan was going to make.

But Xu Wenyan didn't know how to explain it to him.

"Oh, it's something very powerful. It can kill a lot of people at once."

"Is it really that powerful?"

Xu Wenyan was speechless and said, "Look, you don't believe me even after I tell you. You still want to ask me. Are you tough?"

"Who told you to say that?" Luo Sanyuan avoided looking at Xu Wenyan: "Hey! Oh my god, Xu Wenyan, look, is there someone over there?"

Xu Wenyan looked in the direction Luo Sanyuan was looking, and sure enough, there was a person lying on the Gobi Desert.

"Let's go and have a look."

This place is close to the village, so it is very likely that he is from the village.

Two chestnut horses approached the bloody man, sniffed him, and then turned their heads away.

"Huh?! Isn't this that guy? The one from Zaozhuang." Luo Sanyuan recognized him at a glance.

Yelaman is really very distinctive in appearance.

Xu Wenyan fell off the horse sideways, and Ye Laman was covered in wounds, including knife and sword wounds.

But this injury couldn't have been caused by falling from such a small slope.

"Still angry."

It was not possible to send him back to Zaozhuang now. Half an hour had passed by on horseback, but it was obvious that Ye Laman was seriously injured.

After such a bumpy ride, I'm not going to die.

"Damn it, let's transport him back first." Xu Wenyan had a good impression of this person. He couldn't really let him die in the wilderness.

After carefully loading him onto the carriage and securing him, the two men hurried towards the village at a steady pace.

We passed by the village chief's house first, and Baibu was standing at the door.

"Xiao Chen, this is..." As he got closer, Bayibu could see the person on the horse clearly: "Isn't this Ye Laman? How did he get injured like this?"

"Village Chief, do you know him too?"

Baibu nodded and said, "I know people from both villages. Please send me to my house first."

"it is good."

It would be much more convenient since the village chief knows him.

After sending Yelaman in, the two men remounted their horses: "Village Chief Baibu, please boil some water first. I will be there soon."

After returning home, Xu Wenyan immediately picked up the herbs and tools and rushed to the village chief's house.

After washing with hot water, horrific wounds appeared.

Xu Wenyan sutured the wound carefully, and perhaps the pain woke Ye Laman up.

"Uh......"

"Yelaman, what happened to you? You are so badly injured." Bayibu asked with concern.

The man on the bed slowly opened his eyes. His weak body made him only able to turn his head away: "Ba...Grandpa Yibu."

Then he looked at Xu Wenyan who was bandaging him: "Thank you, thank you."

Xu Wenyan didn't answer him, and said coldly: "You'd better explain as soon as possible why you are injured like this.

Your injury is not simple."

Ye Laman was silent for a while, closed his eyes and said nothing.

Of course, if he didn't say it, Xu Wenyan wouldn't ask again.

"Yelaman, just tell me what you have to say. It can't be that the villagers hurt you like this."

"It's the officers and soldiers."

"Officers and soldiers?"
