Otherworldly Farmhouse

When Mu Feng left Song Yunxi's house, the old servant not only returned the clay pot to him, but also put some white fungus in the pot.Ordinary people really can't buy this kind of food, mainly because it is more expensive, and ordinary people are reluctant to eat it. In addition, it is generally not sold in the town, and only rich people can get some food from the city.

Mufeng went to buy some meat and came back. If there is no meat for a day, the two children will not eat well. Of course, Ah Wen will lose his appetite after eating. Muha people are very concerned about eating, and Mufeng is no exception. Now that the family conditions are better, it is even more impossible for Mu Feng to lose the family's stomach.

Mu Feng went to Mr. Luo again to inquire about Tang Anwen and Tang Guo's prickly heat. Mr. Luo told Mu Feng that if the medicinal bath was useless, he could only prescribe some medicine for the two of them. If it goes in, it shouldn't grow back. Of course, you should pay attention to it in daily life, otherwise Tang Anwen's thin skin and tender flesh are really bad.

Luo Lao got Mu Feng's pulse again, and told Mu Feng to take good care of him. This time, the baby is stable. As long as he doesn't work and move things that are too heavy like last year, the baby will be born healthy and healthy. .

Mu Feng was very happy to hear that, and asked Old Doctor Luo if Luo Ling had come back or written a letter.

Mr. Luo told Mu Feng that Luo Ling probably fell into some kind of gentle village, and he didn't know where the way home was.After hearing this, Mu Feng bid farewell to Mr. Luo. When he arrived at the letter writing booth, Mu Feng borrowed a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Mu Yu, asking how the two of them were doing. Send the letter to the post station and send it out.

When Mu Feng came back, there were bursts of laughter in the yard, more of Tang Xuan's cheating, and Tang Anwen and the children's laughter.

Mu Feng knocked on the door, and it was Lin Zuo who opened the door. Mu Feng looked at Lin Zuo's helpless face, and asked him what was the matter. Lin Zuo said helplessly, Tang Xuan couldn't play with Tang Anwen, but he wanted to play with Tang Anwen desperately. , It really confirms what Tang Anwen said, look for abuse by yourself.

Seeing Tang Anwen and Tang Xuan posing under the eaves, Mu Feng also showed Lin Zuo's helpless expression, how old he was, and still like a child, he had to fight to win or lose.

When Tang Anwen saw Mu Feng came back, he immediately pulled down the raised sleeves and put down the feet that were on the chair. Immediately, he became gentle. When Mu Feng saw Tang Anwen's appearance, he burst into laughter. It turned out that this kid also had when so rude.

Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo went to the mountain these two days, they brought a lot of mushrooms, some can be dried, others were just picked this morning, Lin Zuo asked Mu Feng to eat some at noon, otherwise put them in the Not fresh at night.

Mu Feng asked the two adults not to play with children's things, and asked Tang Anwen to put back the small desk in the children's room. Tang Xuan came over to help put the mushrooms to be dried on the bamboo sieve, and put those to be eaten today in the basket inside.

Finally, Tang Guo and Tang Dou got back their backgammon, and the two little guys happily ran to the house to play by themselves. Just now, Dad and Uncle Tang Xuan had a great time playing, and they also enjoyed watching it. It turns out that backgammon is still Can play like this.

Tang Xuan and Mu Feng chatted about the past few days. They went to repair the wooden house in the mountain. They repaired the wooden house every summer. Although it was more dangerous, the trees in the mountain were easy to dry in summer. If there was something wrong with the wooden house, They can directly cut down trees and dry them for repairs. Even if the wood is not dried, the wood will not easily rot under the high temperature after repairing. Unlike winter and autumn, when trees are cut and repaired in these two seasons, the wood is very fragile. It is easy to rot, but summer wood is more durable and not easy to rot.

Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo haven't had a good meal for many days, and the two have a big appetite. Tang Xuan also said that if winter comes, he will probably be reluctant to live in the mountains with these delicacies.

Mu Feng smiled and told the two of them to stay in the village for the winter, and it didn't have to be in the mountains. In winter, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow and isolated from the outside world. Even two people must be very lonely.As he talked, he talked about Tang Anwen's prickly heat. Poor Tang Anwen suddenly became the butt of Tang Xuan's jokes. Tang Anwen, who was almost laughing, became embarrassed. Only then did Tang Xuan stop, and the depression of losing backgammon was instantly swept away And empty.

After having a meal, Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo went back to the bamboo house first. They also knew the situation at the foot of the mountain. The people coming and going in front of Tang Anwen's house was not good for Lin Zuo, so they didn't come here for now.

After Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo left, Mu Feng started to clean up the dishes. Tang Anwen took the two little guys to the room, taught them the characters they had learned, and then let the two little guys go to bed. He sat on the bed While shaking the fan gently, the two children were fanned to cool off.

Mu Feng tidied up the kitchen and came over. At this time, the two children had already fallen asleep.Mu Feng told Tang Anwen that the old servant of Song Yunxi's family gave him some white fungus, and he would cook it for Tang Anwen sometime.After listening to what Mu Feng said, Tang Anwen told Mu Feng about Tang Jinghui's visit today.

After hearing this, Mu Feng was silent for a while before telling Tang Anwen that they couldn't and couldn't manage the affairs of the Tang Family's compound, otherwise they would find them endless things, and once they did that, they wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life .Mu Feng said that Tang Anwen did the right thing. If Tang Jinghui comes to ask for help next time, they will help with small things. If there is any strange thing, don't get involved. Whether it is wrong or right, what is waiting for them is Li Outsiders are not people.People are close to father and son, and there will be no overnight feud if they are close to each other.

Tang Anwen also mentioned that Tang Jinghui's daughter-in-law was pregnant, but this surprised Mu Feng. He said that the two had only been married for half a month, so even if Chen Ying was pregnant, she must have not seen a doctor yet, so how could she tell that she was pregnant.When the two talked about this, they remembered that Tang Jinghui and Chen Ying's marriage was supposed to be at the end of October, but this time the Chen family asked for it to be brought forward. Could it be related to this matter.

Mu Feng glanced at Tang Anwen and said: "Although there are many doubts about this matter, we don't care about it. Chen Ying is already married to Jing Hui. No matter who the child is, he will never have the opportunity to associate with other people in the future. , if you met Tang Jinghui that day, just remember to tell him to be more careful."

Tang Anwen nodded, Mu Feng's complexion was a bit grim, he knew that Mu Feng probably remembered his father's matter, but he really didn't care about it, since he and Mu Feng were both suspicious, then the couple in the Tang family compound The shrewd ones understand better, so it's not the two of them's turn to take care of this matter.

The weather was still dry, and the temperature dropped a lot at the end of September in a blink of an eye. At this temperature, Tang Anwen could go out safely without getting prickly heat.There is a long strip of grass in front of Tang Anwen's house. The grass can survive the drought because of the efforts of the water collectors in Tangjia Village.Tang Anwen's red-brown valley has already grown a layer of seedlings about four to five centimeters. Now Tang Anwen carries a bucket to water the newly grown seedlings every day.

Sometimes Tang Anwen just finished watering, and Tang Lang came to water again, and both of them would water each other's land. The two families didn't care about these things. More watering would only be good for the Red Brown Valley.That day, Tang Anwen was carrying water and started watering. Two little guys were digging the soil on the ridge of the field, hoping to find one or two earthworms from the mud.

The little boy they raised hasn't eaten fresh food for many days. Since they couldn't catch loach, Mu Feng and Tang Anwen fed them with lean meat. Xiaodai has little interest in lean meat, and he prefers food that can move. , such as small loach, such as earthworm fish or something.

The loaches on the other side of the creek were almost caught more than ten days ago. Whether it was Tang Anwen or Tang Lang, neither of the two families told anyone where to catch the loaches, and both families would catch the loaches after they had finished catching them. Finally, half-fast stone slabs will be pressed up, so that not only people can't find it, but also it can prevent people from accidentally falling into it.

Tang Anwen told the two children not to dig. Now the earthworms either died in the sun or got deep into the mud. Instead, they asked the two little guys to find worms for Xiaodai to eat. They have raised the turtle for a long time. Because the food was good some time ago, Tang Guo and Dou Zi fed the little loach to Xiaodai every day, and Xiaodai also grew up. Tang Anwen even joked that he would eat Xiaodai stew soup, but he offended his two sons, Tang Guo and Xiaodai. Tang Dou was very angry because of this incident, and he still remembers it to this day.

Tang Guo and Tang Dou put down their small hoes in discouragement, sat on the ridge and asked their father when it would rain. If it doesn’t rain, there will be no fish. Now there are no earthworms. Isn’t Xiaodai going to starve to death? I don't know if the bugs can't be found now?Because the grass has been sunburned to death, where can we catch bugs without grass?

Tang Anwen poured a bucket of water and watered the ground while turning his head and said to the two children: "This father really doesn't know, if you ask God, maybe it won't rain until next year, maybe it will rain tomorrow, or it will rain soon." It can be smashed down." Tang Anwen looked at the cloudless sky, thinking that he was talking nonsense with his eyes closed, it would be strange if it could rain in this weather, why would it rain in a windless and cloudless weather.

Tang Lang also came over with a bucket at this time, and now the villagers in the village also understand that the field will not grow seedlings by watering, so they are not carrying water to irrigate the field, and they are all taking good care of a vegetable field. It is very lucky to be able to water the vegetables without directly drying them to death, so those who fetch water from Tang Anwen's place are either for home use or for watering vegetables. This will greatly reduce the water consumption and allow Tang Anwen's well to breathe Tone, so as not to be hit directly to the bottom of the well.

Tang Lang also fetched water from the well. In the past, when we watered the land, we used it from the small pond, but the drought was so severe that the water level kept sinking, and the small pond dried up a long time ago. Fortunately, the well The water level has always been about three meters, and it has not dried up, otherwise Tang Anwen would have to cry, and if the water was cut off here, he would have to go to the mountains to carry the water.

Tang Anwen saw that Tang Lang was watering his head again, so he quickly reminded that the other end had already been watered, and Tang Lang replied that it was all right, he would water it again after watering it.Usually Tang Lang waters in this way. He starts watering from the head of the field near the small pond on Tang Anwen's side, and then waters all the way to the end of his own field, and then starts watering from the end of his own field again and keeps watering. Go back to Tang Anwen's field, so that his daily work is almost done.

As for the vegetables, the land in his home is not as good as here, it is all dry and cracked, and it is impossible to grow vegetable seedlings at all.So Zhang Lan thought about it, and sprinkled rapeseed on the ridge of this acre of fields. Now small green vegetables have grown, about four or five centimeters high.Tang Lang also exaggerated Zhang Lan for this, which made Zhang Lan very happy, so that Tang Lang could water easily, and he didn't have to spend a lot of energy carrying water back to Tangjia Village to water the fields.

So the fields of Tang Anwen's family and Tang Lang's family have to be watered three times a day. Tang Anwen is a lazy person. He thinks that if he pours it carefully once, he doesn't need to water it twice. In fact, the amount of watering is still about the same. of.

Just as Tang Anwen and Tang Lang were chatting away from the sky and the ground, there was a loud thunder on the ground, which shocked them both.Looking up, the sky was still clear and there was no sign of rain.Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the big raindrops fell down. The rain was still very cold. You must know that the weather is not so hot now. It was just a drought. The cold raindrops hit the body, making people tremble all over.

Tang Anwen yelled, dropped the bucket, picked up his youngest son, and pulled Tang Dou, who was almost stupid, and then turned around and yelled to Tang Lang, "Run away when it's raining, or you'll be drowned."

What the two of them didn't know at this time was that the villagers of Tangjia Village were not happy because of the late heavy rain. terrible news.

Tang Lang didn't hear Tang Anwen's words at all, he looked at the raindrops falling on his body stupidly, then Tang Lang laughed and started laughing, threw away the bucket and danced excitedly for a while, only to realize that the rain is really cool, But even though he was drenched in the cold, Tang Lang was still very happy. When he ran past the door of Tang Anwen's house, he patted the door of Tang Anwen's house vigorously, and then yelled, "Mufeng Tang Anwen, did you see it? It's raining." It started to rain, followed by a series of laughs.

Tang Anwen rushed into the yard with the twins at this time, Mu Feng was sewing clothes, Song Yunxi sent a lot of fabrics, he had already made two sets of clothes for the twins, and now he was giving them to the two children at home Prepare autumn clothes, Tang Anwen's Wooden Wind has already prepared a set.

Just now when it was thundering, Mu Feng came out of the yard to have a look, and after seeing that it was not raining, he went back to the house to continue making clothes. Now he heard the sound of the courtyard door being smashed, and Mu Feng also came out of the house, and saw the bean Big raindrops fell from the sky and hit the ground to form blisters.

Mu Feng hurried over with a dry cloth towel and asked Tang Anwen to wipe it himself. He wiped the rain off the faces of the two children, and wiped the hair of the two little guys. Mu Feng reached out to catch the rain, feeling that the rain was cold. It's going to be cold soon, so we should step up preparations for winter clothes.

Mu Feng heard Tang Lang's slamming on the door, walked over to open the door, and saw Tang Lang running towards Tangjia Village like crazy. I didn't take it to heart.

Mu Feng went back and changed the clothes for the two children. His belly is a little bigger now, but it shows a little bit. Ah Wen goes to see his belly every day, and it feels very miraculous. Mu Feng is not bothered by this.In the previous few pregnancies, Ah Wen didn't understand anything at all, and sometimes even said something that made him laugh and cry, saying that he had watermelon in his stomach, and when would he give it to him.

Now the child is almost four months old. He can eat and sleep. The child sometimes moves his hands and feet, but it is very slight. Tang Anwen is so curious that he asks him every time when the child moves and asks him to feel it, but Mu Feng He didn't know when the three treasures would move, and he couldn't grasp the time at all. He could only tell Tang Anwen that when the child was older and moved more vigorously, he would be able to clearly feel the movement of the child in his stomach.

Just when Mu Feng cooked the ginger soup and invited the three of his family to drink a bowl, there was a frenzied knock on the door in the yard, and the two children were so startled that they almost dropped the bowls in their hands.

Tang Anwen told Mu Feng to be calm and not to be impatient. He took an umbrella to open the door, and saw Tang Jinghui's face was pale, trembling all over, holding Tang Anwen tightly with both hands, and shouting to my third uncle to help me, I don't want to die.Tang Anwen really didn't quite understand Tang Jinghui's words, seeing Tang Jinghui's state, he could only let the other party come in first.

As for what Tang Anwen and Mu Feng suspected last time, he asked Tang Jinghui, and it turned out that this kid was messing around. He gave Chen Ying to that when he was at his grandfather's house, so that Chen Ying conceived a child in advance, and the two families were born. The wedding date had to be brought forward, and because of this, the Tang family actually looked down on Chen Ying, so they abused Chen Ying like this.

And Chen Ying is strong, no matter what troubles are in the family, as long as Tang Jinghui loves him, he will admit all the crimes. In Tang An Wuwen's eyes, this slightly ordinary-looking brother is extremely strong and tenacious. Just like his wood wind.

Tang Anwen was actually very angry about this matter. He specifically told his second brother about it, but it was useless because his second brother couldn't control it. He even warned Tang Anwen not to talk nonsense, otherwise it would have a bad influence on Chen Ying.It was obvious that Tang Jinghui and Chen Ying did something wrong together, and most of the responsibility was Tang Jinghui's. Why should Chen Ying bear the consequences alone? This is really unfair, and even Mu Feng felt aggrieved for Chen Ying.

Since his second brother said so, Mu Feng told Tang Anwen not to worry about this matter. When there is no interest, the two of them are outsiders. Only when there is interest to get it, will the Tang family compound think of them It is a wife or a relative.

Tang Anwen asked Mufeng to take the two children back to the room, and handed Tang Jinghui a bowl of ginger soup, which made him feel that he would get sick if he drank it to dispel the cold.Tang Jinghui drank a bowl of ginger soup tremblingly before saying, "Third Uncle, you must save me this time. The village just came to the news that the conscription is coming. Anyone with two men in the family, under the age of 55 and over 14 years old Yes, one of them must go to join the army. Chen Ying just got pregnant and I don’t want to go to the battlefield. Third Uncle, you must save me this time.”

Tang Anwen frowned and said: "Don't worry, there is always a way. You mean that if there are two men in the family and both are adults, then you must go to one, right?"

After listening to Tang Anwen's words, Tang Jinghui kept nodding his head. Now he was like a bird in fright, not knowing what to do.He has already heard that his father and Ah Mu are going to let him join the army, but he doesn't want to join the army at all. After joining the army, he will probably go to the battlefield, and how many people who go to the battlefield can come back alive. Few people can be like Mufeng's father The same, on the battlefield can be rescued by nobles.

On the battlefield, that is to wait for death, he does not want to die at all, now only the third uncle can save him.

Tang Anwen was silent for a while and then asked: "How many people are you going to have in your family? You won't be the only one. If your father and mother agreed to your separation, you just married a daughter-in-law and you don't even have children. There is only one man in your family. , shouldn’t be on the battlefield.”

Tang Jinghui nodded and said: "What's the use of talking about it now? Daddy and Eminem didn't agree at all at that time, and now there is no regret medicine. Like Uncle San, there is only three brothers and one man in the family, so there is no need to go. Grandpa is only 51, father and uncle, Tang Jingyang from uncle's family, I and my second brother, there are six of them together, at least three of them will join the army. But if I can have 30 taels, then I don't have to go, Uncle, please lend me 30 taels, I beg you."

Now Tang Anwen finally understands that if there is a man under the age of 55 and over 14 in the family, one of the two must go. If he doesn't want to go, he can redeem him with 30 taels of silver.For ordinary farmers, it is really difficult to take out 30 taels at once.Some people have a lot of entrances in their homes, and there are many suitable ages. Even if they can take out one 30 taels, it is impossible to easily take out the second 30 taels, so someone still has to go to the battlefield to die.

Seeing that Tang Anwen didn't speak, Tang Jinghui burst into tears and said, "Third Uncle, please save me, you are the only one who can save me."

Mu Feng also came out of the house at this time, and he also heard Tang Jinghui's voice. When Tang Jinghui saw Mu Feng coming out, she called out to her third uncle and begged Mu Feng to save him. His family, Chen Ying, was just pregnant with a child. Chen Ying is not good, if he is going to join the army, and Chen Yingmu's family is not good enough, there is no way for Chen Ying and the child in his stomach to survive.

Mu Feng gestured to Tang Anwen with his eyes, and told Tang Anwen that this matter was up to him. Although their family didn't have much money now, if they really wanted to squeeze, they could still get 30 taels, but life might be more difficult in the future.Their family has some income, but their daily expenses are also very high, and they spend a lot of money on food and clothing.

Tang Anwen sighed, he knew that the family was running out of money now, and Song Yi hadn't been back for a long time since the locust plague came last time.Song Yi also told him at that time that it would take a lot of time to go out, and it might take several months to come back.

Therefore, the income of Tang Anwen's family was close to the little umami soy sauce, and they were basically spending all the time, so there was only a dozen taels of silver left in the family.If you really want to help Tang Jinghui, you have to sell Xiao Hei and the carriage to barely get together 30 taels. However, there are still two people in the Tang family compound who are going to join the army. Even if you sell Tang Anwen, you can't get anything else. 60 taels, this precedent must not be set, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.

But Tang Anwen couldn't bear to look at the miserable man kneeling beside Mu Feng and crying. To be honest, when the fool was in the Tang family compound, Tang Jinghui never bullied him or Tang Guo. Bully him and Tang Guo.

At this moment, another person ran in from the yard, it turned out to be Tang Lang who had just run back not long ago, Mu Feng asked Tang Lang what was the matter, Tang Lang quickly said to find him a place to hide, and walked straight towards him. The bamboo house on the second floor jumped up.

His father and mother wanted him to join the army instead of their father, and they didn't know what the old couple thought. Why did they want him to go when they could afford 30 taels of silver?It must have been provoked by that big brother who couldn't figure it out, otherwise how could Dad and Mom come here, after all, they have already separated.Even if you want to go, you should let your eldest brother go, right?He has already been separated and his household registration has been done. There are only one family of four in his family. There is only one person in the family who is under 55 and over 14 years old. He doesn't need to join the army at all.
