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

Ten days after returning from the mine.

Huo Min and Uncle Ye came back with four tall men.

"Hehe, Brother Xu, Brother Chen! I miss you so much." Huo Min couldn't hide the smile on his face, as if something good had happened.

At this time, Xu Wenyan was busy in the yard recording the growth of vegetables and pests.

"General Huo, Uncle Ye."

"Hey, don't call me General Huo." Huo Min's face was a little unhappy: "I am younger than you, you call me brother, is that how you call me over there?"

It's not uncommon to have a younger brother who is half a head taller than you: "Then I'll just call you by your name."

"Okay. Brother Xu, we gained a lot this time."

Xu Wenyan took them in and made them a cup of sea buckthorn juice. Huo Min took the first cup.

Then he smacked his lips and said, "Well, it's not as sour as the almond juice you gave me before."

"Ha, you still remember."

"Hehe, I remember it very clearly."

Xu Wenyan quickly escaped from this dangerous guy and poured sea buckthorn juice for others.

"Who are these?"

Uncle Ye replied, "Don't you want a blacksmith? They all worked as blacksmiths before joining the army, so they are quite skilled.

Swords are occasionally forged and repaired in the barracks."

Xu Wenyan looked at the four tall men. They all looked honest and simple. They were also greeting Xu Wenyan one by one. They should be easy to get along with.

"Haha, that's fine. I'll build a bed for you right next to it. Four people should be able to sleep there. It's a bunk bed. When the house next to it is repaired, we can move in there."

One of the middle-aged men with a beard said straightforwardly: "Brother Xu, you don't have to be so polite. We also sleep in the same bunk in the barracks. There are dozens of people in the barracks together. Don't bother me."

Dozens of big men who had just finished exercising slept together. There was probably no place to take a shower in this place, and even if there was, it would be impossible for them to take a shower every day.

Imagine a big tent with two rows of beds on the left and right, and all the sweat and foot odors of men mixed together.

Xu Wenyan could already imagine how sour it would be.

However, Huo Min and Uncle Ye were relatively clean. This was probably due to the influence of Uncle Ye, a modern man, so they took a bath more frequently.

Thanks Uncle Ye for saving such a handsome guy.

Xu Wenyan sat down next to Uncle Ye. This time Huo Min reacted quickly and dared to sit next to Xu Wenyan in front of Chen Sanlin.

"By the way, didn't you say you had a lot of gains? Tell me about it."

When Huo Min mentioned this, he started to show off again: "That's right, we went to Lan County and first settled the copper mine issue. Whenever you want it, just go and ask Lord Lin for it.

When we went there, they also mentioned that the county magistrate in Qinghai was a bandit or something.

That Mr. Lin has been pestering me to go with them. Didn’t you capture those two prisoners?

With their help, Lin Zhuangyuan found evidence that County Magistrate Ma was collaborating with the bandits.

I defeated him in just two moves!

How about it, I am awesome, right? "

He looked exactly like a child trying to get credit from his old father. Xu Wenyan looked at him with a little more "loving" in his eyes.

Xu Wenyan nodded with satisfaction at this "big boy": "Great, great."

Huo Min's reaction scared the four soldiers who followed him.

Although their General Huo is not a high-ranking and important person in the military camp, he is still considered to be highly respected and awe-inspiring.

How did he become like this in front of this person? It's really suspicious.

"This is nothing. The iron mine in Tianshui will transport iron to Lan County every month. I have already arranged with Lin Zhuangyuan to deliver all the iron to you."

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Well, it really helped a lot."

"Yeah, I'm very reliable." Huo Min stared at Xu Wenyan with wide eyes and anticipation.

When Xu Wenyan looked at him, he always felt that there was something flashing in his eyes.

Avoiding his gaze, Xu Wenyan coughed twice: "Ahem, I know, I know, I will tell you a story today."

"Great!"

Meeting the gazes of his four subordinates, Huo Min suddenly realized that he had been letting himself go too far.

"You four, come with me and set up the place where you will be working."

Seeing him suddenly become serious, Xu Wenyan found it a little funny.

It's just like a college student who has just entered society and is trying to pretend to be an adult.

"Haha, this kid is like this. When he was a kid, I pushed him to practice martial arts very hard. At that time, I always wanted to go back quickly because my wife and children were waiting for me."

Uncle Ye lowered his eyes when he said this: "Thinking about it now, Huo Min was more than just a child at that time.

In order to practice martial arts, he seldom went out to play and even had few friends.

But this child is too kind, I told him, as long as he works hard to practice, I will be happy. "

Uncle Ye's mouth cracked, and he smiled happily: "He really worked hard and practiced hard.

I still remember that when I gave him some compressed biscuits, he started crying as soon as he took a bite, hugged me and said that it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten.

His parents died early, and he lived with his grandmother. His grandmother was also a kind person. With my help with housework, his life got better.

But the good times didn’t last long. Although the system predicted the drought and I stored enough food in advance, the old man still couldn’t survive.”

Uncle Ye looked at Xu Wenyan, his eyes full of vicissitudes.

“Of the hundreds of households in the village, only a dozen survived the drought.

At first, the people in the village were very harmonious. If someone’s stored food was gone, those who had surplus food would share it. Huo Min’s grandmother was one of those people.

She has suffered all her life, and she feels sad when she sees others suffering.

She saved the food and secretly gave it to families with children. Finally, she passed away due to drought and hunger.

That was the saddest time I saw Huo Min cry. After that, he rarely cried. He is really a very sensible child.

Three months after his grandmother passed away, there was still no rain from heaven.

Those people who have been helped by Grandma Huo Min think that we still have food here.

At first I asked for it shamelessly because I knew the drought would not end so easily and I would not try to be a pushover.

If they were Huo Min's relatives, I could still help them, but they are just people living in the same village. How could they be so shameless when they speak to each other? "

Xu Wenyan certainly knew how terrible human hearts could be. He turned around and saw that Chen Sanlin was a little dazed, so he sat next to him and held his hand.

This drought also had a significant impact on Chen Sanlin.

"Then there were the scoundrels who came to ask for it shamelessly. They broke into my house and I stabbed them one by one. As bodyguards, we have seen all kinds of scenes.

You don’t have to hack him to death, but hitting an artery is enough to be sentenced to death in this era.”

After hearing what Huo Min said, Xu Wenyan held Chen Sanlin's hand even tighter.

This is not a good time.

He must, must let Brother Chen see what a prosperous and stable life is like.
