Spring scenery in the fields

"Sister-in-law, don't the forest authorities in your area forbid people from cutting trees without permission? I don't think I've heard of that."

Ji Wenhe was shocked. Oh no, he forgot about it because of his carelessness.

Pretending to be calm, she lowered her head, her tone somewhat sad: "Wenshan, I won't hide it from you anymore. After I woke up from the water, I forgot a lot of things."

"I can't remember a lot of things about my family. Some vague fragments flash through my mind, but every time I try to recall them, it hurts a lot, like being hit by a stone."

"So I didn't dare to recall it. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. I thought that maybe I would be able to recall it in the future."

"It's so serious, why didn't sister-in-law tell you earlier?"

Shen Wenshan put down the work in his hands and pretended to stand up.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go call my eldest brother back and ask him to take you to see a doctor."

Ji Wenhe hurriedly called him: "Wenshan, I'm fine. I just can't remember what happened in the past. I don't feel unwell, so don't go call your brother."

He looked worried.

"But sister-in-law..."

"I know you're doing this for my own good, but I really don't feel any discomfort. As long as I don't think about the past, my head won't hurt."

Ji Wenhe motioned for him to sit back.

"The reason I didn't tell you is because I didn't want to make you worry. I know my own body well, and it's fine."

Shen Wenshan looked at her face uncertainly: "Really?"

"Really? Why would I lie to you?"

This is good. If you don’t understand something in the future, you can just say that you forgot.

"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell Big Brother. Don't think Big Brother doesn't like to smile and has a cold face all day long. In fact, Big Brother is a very good person."

Shen Wenshan decided to say something good about his elder brother. No, his elder brother was a good person.

"The scar on my brother's face looks scary, but after spending more time with him, I realized that he is very considerate and caring."

Ji Wenhe looked at him and smiled: "Are you saying something good to your elder brother?"

He bent his lips and lowered his head: "No, big brother is really good, sister-in-law will see it in the future."

He smiled and nodded, then stood up and observed the yard.

When I came to the fence, I saw that the ravine outside was filled with very sharp bamboo thorns.

"Wenshan, the ravine is used to protect against wild animals in the mountains."

"Well, there are dangers in the mountains. Although I haven't encountered them in recent years, I still have to be on guard."

Bamboo thorns are replaced every year because bamboo will soon die due to wind, rain and exposure.

Ji Wenhe raised his hand and shook the fence frame. It was very solid. It was made of thick bamboos and thick branches. It should be buried very deep underneath.

The whole yard is sloped, but the slope is not very steep. The front door of the yard is probably filled with soil.

The terrain near the entrance is the highest, which has one advantage when it rains, as the rainwater will flow down the mountain.

Standing at the kitchen door and looking inside, the kitchen is not big and is built against the mountain. There is a dilapidated cabinet on the left side close to the mountain.

There is a water tank full of water at the left door, and there are also two wooden barrels and a wooden basin.

There is a simple small shelf opposite, used to place pots, bowls and so on, and a small square low table. You can touch the edge of the table opposite by stretching your arm.

Looking to the right, there are two stoves, with leaves and branches piled behind the stoves. The branches are almost burned out, making the space behind the stoves empty.

The kitchen was built with thatch and trees. The builders had poor craftsmanship and the house looked a bit crooked, making people worry that it would collapse.

Turning around, not far away on the opposite side were thatched huts and vegetable fields. When Shen Rongshan was not around, the two brothers lived in places like this.

"Wenshan, I'm going to walk outside the yard and take a look at the village at the foot of the mountain. I'll be back soon."

Shen Wenshan was worried: "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you."

"No, I'll just take a look and come back. I won't go far."

Seeing that he was determined to follow me, I felt helpless.

She was curious about what the village looked like. When the original owner entered the village, she had a fever, her mind was confused, and her memory was unclear.

After walking a few steps, I could see the village at the foot of the mountain clearly.

Unlike in the previous life, the residents were no longer arranged in neat rows, but rather scattered, with their doors all facing south.

Pointing to a house not far from the wasteland, he asked, "Isn't that Aunt Lan's house?"

I remember Aunt Lan said that her home was at the foot of the mountain, not far from the wasteland, very close to them.

Shen Wenshan nodded: "Yes, it's Aunt Lan's family. There used to be another family to the east of her house. He was a bachelor and never got married. He passed away two years ago."

Ji Wenhe was curious: "What about the homestead? Is there no relative to inherit it?"

"No, all his family members are gone, and he is the only one left. He mortgaged his homestead to the village chief, took the money, and went to the town to have fun for a few days. He was gone two days after he came back."

I don't know whether it is true or not, he just heard it from the villagers.

However, according to the gossip that usually circulates in the village, it is probably false.

Shen Wenshan pointed at the dry land and said, "Sister-in-law, look, the piece of land at the edge belongs to our family, the third piece of paddy field."

Ji Wenhe looked over and saw that the paddy field was a bit far from here. It would probably take twenty minutes to go down the mountain to get there.

Looking at the wasteland: "There is so much grass in the wasteland."

The foot of the mountain on the west side can be said to be all wasteland, divided into two sides with a small path left in the middle.

However, the road has not been walked on for a long time and is overgrown with grass.

Shen Rongshan chose a piece of land on the roadside, close to the foot of their mountain.

Standing where she was now and looking to the right, she could see two people chopping wood in the distance.

The exit of the village is in the south, beside a small stream.

"Wenshan, is there something blocking the exit of the village?"

Two men came in and moved aside what seemed to be a crossed wooden fence, like the soldiers blocking the road in TV dramas.

Shen Wenshan looked over and said, "I guess so. There have been some refugees fleeing here these days, and the village head is worried that someone will come in and steal things."

"I have tried to stop them before, but it was useless. The village was still robbed at night. Fortunately, they were discovered and the villagers chased them away."

Ji Wenhe asked in confusion: "If we catch a thief and beat him to death, will we go to jail?"

"No, everyone's life is hard, and they dare to steal things. They want to kill us. No one will report to the police even if we are beaten to death."

In some villages, people were beaten to death and everyone applauded, and no one sympathized with them.

"Sister-in-law, go back."

Shen Wenshan saw his elder brother looking at them and gesturing for them to go back.

Ji Wenhe also saw it: "Well, let's go back."

Looking at the cave, she thought it would be safer to live at the foot of the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, she had been in this dynasty for half a month.

Her documents were processed. Shen Rongshan spent some money and had the village head take charge of everything, so she didn't have to be there in person, including the household registration process.

It seems very strict, but in fact, as long as you have money, anything can be done. I heard that some people even get fake household registration and fake documents.

This morning.

Ji Wenhe dressed neatly, washed up, and went to the kitchen.

Shen Yuanshan sat behind the stove and made a fire. He poked his head out with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go pick wild vegetables after dinner."
