After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Unfortunately, it is still early and all I can see is a hazy darkness.

Nothing can be seen.

The ox cart slowly drove onto the official road, and Fang Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

Yesterday afternoon, he learned how to drive an ox cart from Mr. Li, and it seems he has learned it well.

On his right, Fang Yin was happily drinking a bamboo tube of heated milk. He hadn't forgotten his friend yet, so he twisted his body and leaned back, "Here you go, Zhizhi."

He was big, and his movement caused the ox cart to shake.

Fang Tong quickly tapped the cow's butt, and the old ox continued to walk.

"Brother, please don't move. What if the car falls into the ditch?"

His driving skills are average.

But Fang Yin ignored him and focused on chatting with her niece. She sighed, "There will be no milk tomorrow. Hmm, I haven't had any for three days in a row."

Fang Nanzhi also felt a little worried: "What about Niu Niu? Will he starve?"

I'm talking about the cows at home.

It is the only livestock of the Qin family at present, and its status is still very high.

"Don't worry, your uncle Erwa has learned how to milk the cow and cuts grass to feed it every day." Qian Fengping smiled and said, "It's still early, you can get under the quilt and sleep for a while."

The little girl won’t sleep.

"Aunt, have you ever been to the capital? Is it big?"

“Are there any three-story houses in the city?”

She kept asking questions and Qian Fengping answered them one by one.

She had been to the provincial capital, but only once.

At that time, my late husband went to the prefectural capital to take the imperial examination, and she went to see him off. At that time, she was only worried about whether he would pass the exam, and she really didn't spend much time in the prefectural capital.

Qin Yan closed his eyes and rested, listening to his mother and Zhizhi chatting in his ears, feeling at ease.

I wonder how the doctors in the city are?

If his leg can be treated, it will heal faster than if the system accumulates health points bit by bit, right?

Fang Nanzhi's voice became quieter and quieter as he chatted.

She leaned against her brother and covered herself with a quilt. Feeling warm, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she slowly fell asleep.

Qin Yan felt the weight beside him, lowered his head, smiled slightly, and tucked the quilt for her.

Well, it's his luck that he can be cured.

You can't, and shouldn't force it. He already has a lot.

When Fang Nanzhi woke up, it was already bright outside. She stretched and slept curled up in the car, but it was not very comfortable after all. Her whole body was numb.

"Cuckoo!"

Fang Nanzhi was stunned when his stomach protested.

Qin Yan gave her a pancake. Although it was made of cornmeal mixed with wheat bran, it was cut in the middle and filled with meat sauce.

This is what Qian Fengping thought about.

There was a lot of pork left at home, so she pickled some of it and made meat sauce with the rest.

Take it with you and add a spoonful to noodles or steamed buns when you are out, and it will be very delicious.

Fang Nanzhi took a bite and squinted his eyes happily. Only then did he notice that there were towering mountains all around and that the official road was very wide.

There were groups of people on the road, and a carriage in front.

A ragged woman bravely stopped in front of the carriage, knelt down and begged: "Sir, please be kind and give us some food."

Upon seeing this scene, Fang Nanzhi immediately shrank his body and ate the pancake in big mouthfuls. He finished it in no time and choked and hiccuped.

Qian Fengping gave her a bamboo tube to drink water.

He also became alert in his heart. Although the other party was stopping a horse-drawn carriage, his own ox-drawn cart was also quite conspicuous.

The groom was startled by the sudden appearance of the woman and pulled the reins hard.

With a "whoosh", the horse stopped just in front of the woman.

Because it stopped too suddenly, a "bang" sound was heard from the carriage, as if some porcelain was broken.

Then a cold yet childish voice sounded: "What's the matter?"

"Master, please wait a moment."

The coachman jumped off the carriage and walked towards the woman angrily.

He almost hit someone.

At the previous speed of the horse, if it was hit, the person would either die or be injured. He was driving the carriage well and didn't want to cause a death.

"Who are you? Do you know that if I don't rein in the horse, you will be dead?"

The woman was already pale and thin, and now she looked even more haggard because of her fear and anxiety.

"Pfft!"

She kowtowed firmly before speaking cautiously, "Sir, I am from Hujia Village. I was forced here by a famine. The county was supposed to provide me with resettlement, but my husband died, leaving me with only my wife and children. We were bullied by the villagers, and I couldn't make ends meet, so I had to run away secretly."

Hujia Village is a village under Qinglu County.

There is a dam that runs through Qinglu County. It collapsed during continuous heavy rains, directly causing the county to become one of the hardest-hit areas.

The county magistrate was incompetent. He neither petitioned for help nor opened his granaries to provide relief. The victims, who had suffered a great deal of disaster, enraged themselves and killed him.

People fled in order to save their lives, and almost nine out of ten houses in the county were empty.

Ordinary people don’t know these things, but the person in the carriage knows them.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a young man dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, with an imposing demeanor, slowly stepped out. He did not get out of the carriage, but looked down at me condescendingly: "Where is your child?"

Not far away, on the ox cart, Fang Nanzhi's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's him!"

The young man was the one that Zhou had met before. At that time, he disliked her for being noisy.

How rich!

The foal was injured, but there was still a tall horse to pull the cart.

Fang Nanzhi's eyes were full of envy and she clenched her fists. When she grew up and made money, she would also buy horses, one for herself and one for her brother, hehe.

Qin Yan was puzzled: "Does Zhizhi know him?"

Fang Nanzhi immediately whispered what happened that day.

Several people suddenly realized. Fang Tong touched his chin and thought, since they are from the same village, I wonder where they are going?

If we're all going to the capital, can we go together? It's much safer.

However, he quickly gave up the idea.

This young man is so aloof, and his nobleness and arrogance seem to be innate, making people intimidated.

More importantly, the horse-drawn carriage was moving very fast and his ox-drawn cart could not keep up.

Beside the official road, two skinny children who were squatting in the bushes jumped out and knelt behind the woman.

The two children were also dressed in rags, their faces covered in black dust. They clung to their mother's clothes and didn't dare to look up.

Not to mention talking to her.

The woman reached out her hand to comfort the child, then kowtowed again: "Please, sir, give us something to eat, and a way to survive."

Shi Junyan looked at him calmly for a while, without revealing much emotion in his eyes: "Chen An."

The groom responded, understanding what his master meant.

He hurriedly searched the carriage and quickly brought back two pancakes and a note.

"If you're going to the capital, you can find the owner of Zui Xiang Lou. When he sees the note, he'll help you find a job."

Perhaps because his master showed up, the groom's attitude became much better.

The woman took the cake, tears welling up in her eyes, and pulled the children along to kowtow and express her gratitude: "Thank you for your great kindness."

The boy didn't respond, but looked in the direction of the ox cart.

His eyes fell on Fang Nanzhi for a moment, obviously recognizing her, but he didn't say anything and quickly returned to the carriage.

The woman and her child had already cleared the road, and the carriage sped away.
