005

Not long after the old man left, lightning and thunder began to light up outside, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Shen Miao was overjoyed in his heart, the weather in this place is quite similar to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang where he lives in modern society, in spring, especially before and after Qingming, it often rains, and it rains at night, and it will be accompanied by thunderstorms when it rains, but it does not hinder the amount of rainfall, and it can basically be the next night. He quickly packed up the utensils he had, leaving a pot to cook porridge, and the rest was moved to the patio and lined up along the eaves to catch the rainwater. He went out of the house again, brought the horse in, and found a dry place in the guest house for the horse to live in.

After that, the bean-sized raindrops had already fallen, and in an instant it became a heavy rain.

Looking at the dense falling water under the eaves, Shen Miao missed the kind of tin tin tin tin installed under the eaves in her grandmother's house when she was a child. Convenient, fast and efficient! It's a pity that there is no one at the moment, and I don't know if the iron in this era is expensive, if it is not expensive, I will make one another day.

The aroma of brown rice porridge has drifted away, brown rice is the fruit of rice after the outer protective cortex of rice husk is removed, and Shen Miao often ate rice in that era compared with a layer of fiber, the taste is much worse, and it is not easy to cook, but it is much more nutritious, it is regarded as green and healthy food, and it is very popular with healthy eaters.

The horse apparently smelled the aroma of brown rice porridge as well, and moved his horse's nose to poke into the wing.

Shen Miao saw it through the faint light, so he filled a small bowl for the horse to drink, and reminded with a smile: "It's a little hot, drink it when it's cold." ”

Ma seemed to know that Shen Miao's brown rice porridge was not easy to come by, so he only smelled it, and gently pushed the bowl back.

Shen Miao smiled and touched the horse's head: "It's okay, there is a lot of water, and there is a big pot, which is completely enough." ”

Ma Jiang was suspicious, Shen Miao had no choice but to lift the lid of the pot, he did put a lot of water, it seemed that there was a big pot, so Ma lowered his head and drank it slowly.

Shen Miao took the bowl again, picked up the spoon he found from the corner of the kitchen, and carefully fed the man one bite at a time. The man's teeth were clenched because of the fever, and it was not very easy to feed at first, but then Shen Miao found the trick and broke some hard before feeding. It's just that the amount of feeding can't be too much, otherwise you will choke, so a bowl of feeding also takes a lot of time.

After finally feeding, Shen Miao also filled the bowl himself, sat on the low mound turned over in the kitchen, roasted the fire, covered the bowl and drank it slowly, after two days and one night, such a shabby and simple environment actually made him feel the warmth he had never felt before.

In addition to the warmth, Shen Miao began to think about survival again,

In such a living environment, no one has yet wanted to pay rent by farming and growing cash crops, and there are only two ways in front of him, one is to find a safe way to get out of here in a few days; The second is to find some property in the mountains that can be exchanged for money to pay rent in the following time.

The difficulty with the former is that he is not familiar with the mountain at all and does not know how to get out? It is not clear where the people arranged by the master of this Zhuangzi intercepted and killed the head of the Zhuang? And how did you intercept it? And the person he brought is also a question, can he wake up in seven or eight days? Can I leave immediately when I wake up?

Compared with the former, the latter can temporarily ignore the problem of this seriously injured person, this person is strong, the physique should be good, as long as the time is enough, the follow-up timely cleaning of the wound, does not induce inflammation, ten days and a half months should be able to wake up. But he didn't know how to farm at all, he did grow up in the countryside when he was a child, but it was a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the residents in the town were mainly engaged in business, not farming, at most they planted simple vegetables in their own yards. The situation in the mountains is very different from the situation in the plains and villages, and there is no way to refer to it, so where can he go to find goods that can be exchanged for money?

Shen Miao had a headache, and after a few considerations, he decided to ask the old man tomorrow and learn more about Zhuangzi's other conditions before making a final decision.

After thinking about these things, Shen Miao began to solve the urgent problems that need to be solved at present, the man was thinly dressed, and it was cold at night in the mountains, even if he set up a charcoal fire all night, he would freeze and get sick. Shen Miao considered borrowing a quilt from the old man, but according to the memory of the day, the old man's house was also covered with a layer of withered grass, and there was nothing to cover.

If this road doesn't work, then you can only use the primitive method, Shen Miao glanced at the man's strong muscles, showed an expression of earned, and said with a smile: "No way, let's sleep together." ”

The horse immediately snorted outside the house, stuck his head in and shook it a few times.

Shen Miao understood and comforted: "Okay, I know it's not appropriate, but you think, I have no place to sleep, he has nothing to cover, if the two of us don't sleep together, maybe tomorrow both of us will be cold and won't be able to get up, wouldn't it be worse?" ”

The horse had no choice but to retract his head and half-cover the door.

Shen Miao smiled and said in her heart This horse is really spiritual, and he knows that he keeps ** for them, and he also knows that there is a fire in the house, and the door cannot be closed. Thinking that Shen Miao lay on the bed and slept with the man, I don't know if it was too tired, or if it was quite warm to sleep next to the person, Shen Miao quickly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Shen Miao was awakened by an extremely indifferent and terrifying sense of gaze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the old man looking at him with a chai knife.

Shen Miao was startled: "You, why are you here?" ”

The old man snorted coldly: "It's three poles in the sun, I saw that you didn't get up, so I came over to take a look." ”

So that's the case, Shen Miao hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, I'm fine, I'm just too tired and overslept." ”

The old man's attitude did not change, and he pointed at the man and said coldly: "You seem to be fine, he is not very good." ”

"What's wrong?" Shen Miao hurriedly checked, and when he touched it, it was even hotter than yesterday, and even began to twitch slightly.

It's broken, it must be a cold. Although he slept next to this man last night, he was fished out of the water at the beginning, and when he was nailed into the coffin, he wore very few clothes, and even if he was next to him, the man did not cover much.

If you have a fever, it is a dangerous sign and you must seek medical attention immediately. Shen Miao hurriedly asked the old man: "Old man, can you tell me the way out of the village, I will take him to the doctor." ”

"I can't." The old man refused.

"Why? It's a matter of life. Shen Miao was strange and couldn't help but raise her voice.

The old man was unmoved: "It's because my life is at stake, so I can't say it." ”

"Why?"

"Lang Zhong only has out of Huangjianao Village, you are the head of this Zhuangzi, once you get out of the range of Huangjianao Village, you will be regarded as escaping, caught and cut down." The old man replied.

"How so? This Zhuangzi is more than ten miles in circumference, and it is very barren, if you really want to leave, just choose the route carefully, how can you be found as soon as you get out of the village, besides, the management is so strict, what if you want to take the products in the village to the market to sell? Shen Miao asked.

"Sell?" The old man sneered unceremoniously, "You really don't know what this Zhuangzi is?" ”

"How?" Shen Miao asked.

"Didn't I say yesterday that this Zhuangzi was deliberately rectified by Dong Chang, since it was deliberate, there are naturally some strange requirements that are unreasonable, such as in the form of renting, Dong Chang specifically explained that what is handed over must be the products grown in the village, and it is not allowed to replace it with other products, let alone replace it with income from doing business. If you can, dig more in those collapsed tunnels, and dig out any piece of bloodstone can be worth the rent of a family, otherwise, Yang Xingfeng quietly ordered someone to pretend to be a businessman, and changed his way to buy the farmer in the village at a high price, can't he also fulfill Dong Chang's requirements? Why do you still change the head of the bank every ten days? And cut so many heads? The old man smiled sarcastically, "As for what you said about finding a way to leave, the idea is indeed right, there are indeed exits everywhere in the mountains, but you have forgotten that the Zhuangzi bordering Huangjianao Village are all Yang Xingfeng's, and there are indeed Zhuangtou who escaped and were rescued and hidden by those Zhuang's people, but they were discovered by Yang Xingfeng." In order to put an end to such a thing, Yang Xingfeng delayed the family hiding the head of the village on the spot, and even sat on the relatives of the family, since then, the farmers dare to hide the head of the village, and even strangers who are not the head of the village enter the village, which will cause them to be vigilant and immediately report to the head of the village. ”

“！！” Shen Miao was speechless, "This...... Is there still a royal law for this? ”

"Wang Fa?" The old man sneered, "The imperial court is already difficult to protect itself, so what can it do?" Do you know who Yang Xingfeng is? His brother Yang Xingmi is the assassin of Luzhou and the training envoy of the Luzhou regiment, and his sister Yang Xingwan is Dong Chang's wife, Dong Chang loves him very much, and he hates his good and jealousy, so he doesn't dare to complain to him directly, so he can only be angry with Yang Xingfeng. Out of breath and out of anger, Dong Chang will not move him for the time being, and he will only turn a blind eye to it. ”

"What then?" Shen Miao was in a hurry, and the road was blocked.

The old man's eyes became more and more cold and sarcastic when he looked at Shen Miao: "Why are you so cheap?" Do you have to save this man? ”

"Cheap?" Shen Miao was taken aback and couldn't help but get angry, "How can saving people be called cheap?" ”

"Isn't it?" The old man snorted coldly.

Shen Miao was furious.
