Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!
Chapter 5: Straight Road and Bridge
At night, Xu Wenyan felt his head was burning.
I don't know what I drank but I fell asleep.
The next day.
Xu Wenyan slowly opened his eyes. He still felt a little dizzy but much better than yesterday. Feeling the warmth on his body, he realized that he was lying on the bed.
For a moment he didn't feel much. As long as he wasn't dead, he might as well live well. What was the big deal?
How does the saying go? There will always be a way when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.
Just keep living your life as it should be.
It was already late when Xu Wenyan woke up. After going out, he only saw Chen Xiaohua and her brother cleaning the yard. Although the yard was covered with dust as soon as they swept, the little girl was still working.
Through the sunlight, one could see the dust flying everywhere, and Xu Wenyan felt that he would cough again if he walked over.
"Hey, kid, come here." Xu Wenyan had no choice but to call the little girl over first.
Chen Xiaohua was frightened when Xu Wenyan called her like that.
Seeing her tiptoeing towards him, Xu Wenyan was speechless.
What is there for a skinny and sickly guy like him to be afraid of?
"Where's your dad?"
"Gone."
Xu Wenyan's face was full of question marks: "No more?"
This isn't right. The man was standing fine yesterday and he didn't look like he had any terminal illness or anything.
"Wasn't that man yesterday your father?" Xu Wenyan asked again.
Chen Xiaohua nodded: "That's uncle."
Only then did Xu Wenyan realize that the child was his brother's. At that time, he thought he was his biological child.
"What about others?"
"Uncle went hunting and said he would be back in a few days." Chen Xiaohua answered in a low voice, the sound not much different from the buzz of a mosquito.
Chen Sanlin is really something. He went out for several days and left two five or six-year-old children at home. "What's your name?"
Chen Xiaohua pursed her lips: "Chen Xiaohua."
"Where is he?" Xu Wenyan pointed at Chen Dong, who was hiding in the distance and slightly dazed.
"Chen Dong."
As if feeling a little tired, Xu Wenyan moved out a chair and sat down: "What dynasty is it now?" Now that Xu Wenyan has figured it out, he can't continue waiting to die here.
Wouldn't it be much more convenient as long as we figure out which dynasty it is? There are so many things in history, and it's a lot for me to memorize.
But the question he asked seemed to stump Chen Xiaohua: "Dynasty? We are in Linguo Jixiang Village."
This is all Chen Xiaohua knows. After all, she is just a six-year-old child.
"Lin Kingdom?" I have never heard of it. Could it be that I have traveled to a dynasty that no longer exists in my original world or has not been mentioned? "This is really fucked up."
After moving a few steps, Xu Wenyan felt a little exhausted. After all, he still had a fever, so he went back to bed.
Around noon, Chen Xiaohua stood outside the door holding a bowl of steaming medicine, but was hesitant to go in. It seemed that she was struggling deeply in her heart. However, she stepped in anyway. Her uncle said that the medicine had to be taken on time.
She carefully pulled Xu Wenyan's arm with her dirty little hands.
Xu Wenyan was actually a light sleeper due to his illness. When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Chen Xiaohua, he closed his eyes again: "What's wrong? Xiaohua."
"Uncle...Uncle said to take the medicine on time." Because she didn't know who Xu Wenyan was, Chen Xiaohua didn't know how to call him.
Looking at the bowl on the small table, Xu Wenyan nodded: "Okay."
Just as Chen Xiaohua was about to leave, Xu Wenyan called her again: "Have you eaten?"
Chen Xiaohua lowered her head, turned around, shook her head and then nodded.
"Tsk, why do you always keep your head down, little girl? Stop hunching your back at such a young age. Straighten your back!... Cough cough." Xu Wenyan had just yelled when she started coughing again.
"Also, I hate it when kids lie. If they didn't eat, they didn't eat."
Don't get angry, don't get angry, keep a calm mind. Xu Wenyan comforted himself in his heart.
"Yes."
Chen Xiaohua raised her head, but still didn't dare to look at Xu Wenyan.
"Louder! Ahem."
Chen Xiaohua's eyes turned slightly red: "Yes!" After saying that, Chen Xiaohua quickly ran out of the house.
Xu Wenyan tasted the herb and his facial features almost distorted. It was extremely bitter.
After taking the medicine and resting for a while, Xu Wenyan felt much better. He stood up and neatly tore off all the wedding characters on the window. Maybe Chen Sanlin could use them in the future.
After all, I am a time traveler, so there should be no problem in helping Chen Sanlin find another wife.
But he is tall and strong, and I'm afraid that not every woman can bear him. I have to find someone a little plump, Xu Wenyan muttered to himself.
"Goo."
Having not eaten for nearly a day, Xu Wenyan's stomach had begun to protest. Walking out of the small earthen house, Xu Wenyan looked around the room. In addition to the bag of rice, there was also a dried pork leg.
He didn't know whether the pork leg was edible or not, so he didn't touch it. While he was cooking, the two little guys watched from a distance without saying a word.
"Xiaohua, do you have land at home?" Xu Wenyan looked at the yellow land and had no appetite.
"Yes... yes!" Ever since Xu Wenyan mentioned Chen Xiaohua, the little girl's voice has become louder, but only a little.
Xu Wenyan nodded and kept stirring the pot with a rice spoon. His original body knew that he couldn't eat anything too hard, so he had to cook the rice finer.
As for your body, you just need to take care of it slowly.
"Okay, go to the vegetable garden and pick two vegetables."
"My uncle's land doesn't have any vegetables grown on it." Chen Xiaohua replied somewhat embarrassedly.
Xu Wenyan thought about it carefully. As a hunter, he would stay in the mountains for a month or half a month. How could he take care of the crops?
So he arranged for two children to stir the porridge here, and he went out to see if there were any wild vegetables or something. Only Xu Wenyan dared to let children watch the pot like this.
If it were a naughty child, he would have eaten the rice porridge in the pot immediately after seeing it.
With his slightly hot body, Xu Wenyan looked carefully at the edge of the field.
It is autumn now, and all the wild vegetables are old. I searched for a long time along the edge of the field, but only found four or five dandelions that had bloomed.
Xu Wenyan didn't dislike them and picked them all and took them home.
"Tsk, this kid from the Chen family is really guilty of marrying such a man home."
"Isn't it? This man's wife is still here to eat bitter grass. She was tricked by her family to come here, so she can't live a good life."
“Poor thing.”
The villagers behind him were talking at once, but Xu Wenyan didn't take it seriously. As long as it didn't really harm his interests, he didn't have the time to talk about it.
After just walking a few steps, Xu Wenyan felt that he was about to start coughing again, so he picked a small bag of fruits and hurried home.
When he returned to the yard and saw the two children stirring the porridge in the pot meticulously, Xu Wenyan felt like laughing. It seemed that at his age, they could really climb up the roof and tear off the tiles if they were not beaten for three days.
I didn't expect these two kids to be so obedient.
"Okay, Xiaohua, come with your brother to pick some wild vegetables." Xu Wenyan put the wild vegetables on a small stool and went to the kitchen to serve the porridge.
Chen Xiaohua looked at the dandelions on the stool and frowned at first, wondering why this uncle would dig up and eat this bitter grass that even pigs wouldn't eat. But since he told her to do it, she would do it, even if it was a little bitter.
"Wow, these two kids are quite capable." Xu Wenyan came out after finishing his work in the kitchen to see how the two kids were doing with picking vegetables.
The brother and sister scraped out every bit of dirt inside the dandelion. They are really capable.
Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong's faces turned red at the sudden praise. This was the first time they heard someone praising them. In the past, they heard most words like "jinx" and "money-loser". Although they didn't understand what they meant, they knew it was definitely not nice.
Chen Xiaohua pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then raised her head to look at the thin uncle. What made Chen Xiaohua even happier was that the uncle also smiled at her. This was the first time someone smiled at her! She was really happy!
Xu Wenyan put the dandelions into the pot and blanched them in water, which would remove most of the bitterness of the dandelions. As for why people here don't eat them, it's probably because they don't know how to remove the bitterness.
Another thing is that if you want to make a cold dish with dandelions, you need a lot of seasonings, but who in the village is willing to do that?
At this point, Xu Wenyan didn't care about anything else. He cut some meat from the smoked pork leg and put it in the porridge. At worst, he could compensate the hunter later.
Chen Xiaohua and Chen Dong in the courtyard smelled the aroma of meat in the house and were swallowing their saliva wildly. They had just eaten a small piece of meat a few days ago. Could they eat meat again today?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaohua shook her head. She would be satisfied as long as she could drink a bowl of meat soup. Chen Dong stood behind her, blinking his eyes at his sister.
The two little guys looked at Xu Wenyan in the kitchen with anticipation.
When seeing the three bowls of porridge on the table, the two children looked a little overwhelmed.
This porridge contains green vegetables and red meat. Just smelling the fragrance makes my mouth water.
Chen Dong carefully pulled his sister's sleeve with his little hands. He really wanted to taste this fragrant porridge. What did it taste like?
Xu Wenyan put down his bowl, picked up a small stool and sat down with his legs apart. He was already extremely hungry: "Eat, why are you two being so polite to me...what?"
Be careful with your words and actions, be careful with your words and actions, and don’t swear anymore, Xu Wenyan reminded himself.
After taking a small bite with chopsticks, Xu Wenyan felt like she was about to shed tears of happiness. After coming here for two days, she finally got to eat something decent.
The brother and sister didn't care anymore. Even if they were to give themselves away again, they had to drink the porridge first.
As soon as Chen Xiaohua put the chopped rice grains in her mouth, her eyes lit up instantly. This thing is so delicious!
Xu Wenyan wanted to laugh when he saw the two little ones wolfing down their food: "Hahaha... cough cough... grass."
But Xu Wenyan didn't expect that just coughing twice could scare the two people like that. It seemed that these two little guys didn't have a good life at home before.
"Don't just stand there, eat quickly, and wash the dishes after you're done." Xu Wenyan always liked fairness. He cooked and the two little ones washed the dishes. It was fair.
It took him a long time to finish a small bowl of rice. This original body was not only weak, but also had a poor stomach.
Sitting on a small stool with his arms folded across his chest, legs crossed, feeling the sun on his face, Xu Wenyan didn't know how to get through this winter.
This family did not farm and did not have much food, so winters in ancient times were not easy to survive.
There are no quilts and no kang.
He might even freeze to death.
difficult.
It's really difficult.
