The Song family became a little weird during this time, which made Mu Zhen a little puzzled

For example, when she saw her own family before, her eyes seemed to be green, but now she was okay, so she shook her finger in front of her, scolding Huai and cursing

In addition, the straw bales left by the deity were very impressive, so she usually didn't let herself touch the slightly leveled housework like cooking

Since the last time he was scolded for eating pig offal for the two children of the old family, the Song family didn't even let him enter the door of the upper room, and in the past two days, he even sent her work to do it one after another

Fortunately, some time ago, I rushed to insert the seven or eight acres of green bean sticks, otherwise she is really lacking in skills now

"The third family carried the basket on his back and rolled up the slope to fetch me a basket of pigweed back," Mu Zhen thought that today was the Duanyang Festival here, and there was something abnormal, and the Song family would stop a little, but she didn't expect that the sky was not bright, and the Song family shouted under the thatched window of her house again

"Is my mother going to get up?" He Laosan and Mu Zhen are adults, they are just disgusted with the Song family, they are not afraid, and the little bun has suffered a lot in the hands of the Song family these days, and when they heard the voice of the Song family, a carp stood up

It's still He Laosan, patting the little bun in the middle and saying, "It's okay, it's still early, Yiqing will sleep for a while," the child was sleepy after all, and when he saw that his father and mother were by his side, he lay down with peace of mind

Mu Zhen heard that there was no movement inside, so she climbed out of bed lightly

"You can sleep for a while, just shoot a pigweed, I'll do it"

These days, the Song family not only tosses Mu Zhen and He Laosan, but also can't escape the devil's hands

In this era, there was no running water, and every household had a water tank in the house, and the water for eating and drinking was stored in the zài water tank, and if you wanted to wash clothes, you would go to the riverside

The Song family didn't know which crazy thing he smoked, saying that when the Duanyang Festival arrived, everything in the house had to be cleaned, but he didn't take it to the riverside, and all the water had to be picked by He Laosan

Even if He Laosan is strong and strong, he will be tired at the end of the day after such a deliberate difficulty in the Song family

"It's okay, I'm going to get up too, I'm going to cut some Duanyang Sword and mugwort back after Duanyang today," besides, he didn't feel at ease to let Mu Zhen go out alone so early

Since the Song family ordered that the pigweed in the house be taken care of by Mu Zhen, every time He Laosan has to follow, it is usually done by the two of them

He Laosan felt sorry for Mu Zhen, how could Mu Zhen not feel sorry for him, even if the Song family gave him the task of carrying water, he still couldn't stop doing the work

But no matter how Mu Zhen persuaded him, he didn't listen, he had to help Mu Zhen together, and in the end, Mu Zhen could only let him

Then every time he did something, Mu Zhen also helped him as much as possible, so although the little couple was a little tired, the time they spent together a day was not short, and the relationship was increasing day by day

Hearing He Laosan say that he was also going to get up, and he was doing Mu Zhen, so he didn't persuade the husband and wife, and they got up together in this white sky

Mu Zhen and He Laosan both knew that this was the Song family's intention to make things difficult for them, but this time the Song family learned to be smart, but they just scolded them when they were unhappy with their work, which made Mu Zhen a little unable to fight back

After all, Song said: "The old lady and you have no separation, let you do some work, it's not okay, if you count on the old woman for everything, I don't think I will go to the county government to sue you for cutting = a crime of unfilial piety"

Unable to think of a countermeasure for the time being, the two had to endure the slavery that the Song family deliberately made difficult

The Duanyang Festival mentioned in He Laosan's mouth and the Dragon Boat Festival in Mu Zhen's previous life are the same day, both on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, which makes Mu Zhen a little curious, whether the meaning of the two is the same

The two of them quietly brought the thatched door to Mu Zhen and asked quietly: "Xianggong, does this Duanyang Festival have any meaning, why is there such a festival?"

He Laosan took the basket in Mu Zhen's hand, put the sickle in it, and then put it on his body, and saw that no one took Mu Zhen's little hand, so he replied: "There is indeed a legend in the Duanyang Festival to commemorate a widow, so it is this festival again."

It seems that this world has nothing to do with the place where Mu Zhen lived in her previous life

Legend has it that in an era of war, a general was wounded while leading his troops into battle, but was saved by the villagers of a small village in the enemy country

The man who saved the general was a woman, and the man in the family died early, but he was dependent on his mother-in-law, and the woman's life was not good, but her heart was good

That day, when she went up the mountain to collect medicine, she happened to meet the general, who fainted on the side of the road, and the general had been galloping on the battlefield for many years

It's just that there is no one in the village or in the back of the village, and no one comes to give her a hand, and the woman who knows how to heal will treat the general on the spot

The general's injuries were relatively severe, and it was estimated that he would not wake up in three or five days, so the woman found a nearby Iwaya and took a lot of effort to move the general over

It was still summer, and it rained, and the cave was relatively small, so in order to ensure that the general's wounds were not infected, the woman used her body to block the general's rain all night

When the general awoke, he saw an unconscious woman lying beside him

It seemed that the well-bandaged wounds on his body and the drenched woman knew that he had been saved by this woman

People who have been licking blood at the knife edge for many years and have fought with Hades countless times, some basic medical skills are still available, there are many herbs in this mountain, and this typhoid fever is still quite simple

When the woman awoke, the general did not explain his identity to her, but only that he was a small soldier who had been wounded and had come here

The woman knew nothing, so she believed it, took the wounded general into her home, and did her best to heal him

The general's injuries are almost healed, and naturally it is time for him to return to the battlefield

These days when he was wounded, the general had already determined the battle strategy, and this village was the only way for him to march

Grateful for the woman's saving grace, the general told the woman to put the Duanyang sword and mugwort in the door of her house on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, and if there were officers and soldiers to fight here, they would naturally be safe

Although the woman did not know the identity of the general, seeing his behavior and conversation, the village man remembered his words firmly

Sure enough, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, a large number of troops suddenly broke into the village

At that time, the marching army was short of materials, as long as it was not their own country, they were all grabbed wherever they went

At this time, if it was too late to escape, the woman looked at the panicked villagers and suddenly remembered what the person she had passed had said

Although everyone didn't believe what the woman said, at this time, the eyebrows were burned, and they could only be dead horses and live horse doctors

A large number of soldiers who received the order were all stationed outside the village when they saw that the villagers had Duanyang arrows and mugwort sticks stuck in the roof beams, and the small village was saved in this way

In order to commemorate the kind and righteous widow, the whole village decided to set the fifth day of May every year as the Duanyang Festival, and later this festival gradually flowed out

Mu Zhen listened to the different versions of the legend with relish and asked: "Then what are the customs and eating during the Duanyang Festival every year?"

"The custom is that every married woman has to go back to her parents' house to live Duanyang, and then she has to put aside mugwort and Duanyang sword, take a mugwort bath, and eat it is more hearty than usual, and there is nothing else."

Well, it seems that there is no zongzi that I want to eat every year, but it's okay, no one eats myself now, this is another business opportunity, I hope that this plan can be realized today next year

The so-called Duanyang Sword is a kind of green broad-leaved aquatic plant that grows on the edge of the ditch, with a faint fragrance, it looks a little like the leaves of the palm tree, but the leaves of the palm tree are connected together, and the leaves of the Duanyang Sword are separated except for the leaves

Artemisia generally grows on the side of the road, the leaves are white-green, the taste is very bitter, and the river side generally grows Artemisia that is very similar to Artemisia, but the kind called Artemisia is not as bitter as Artemisia, and it can also be fed to pigs as pigweed

Mugwort has the effect of regulating qi and blood, warming muscles and pulses, chasing dampness and cold, cold pain, and can be used to treat abdominal pain, menstrual cold, irregularity, cold uterus, infertility and other symptoms

Generally, mugwort also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and sterilizing insects, there is no mosquito coil at this time, but there are many mosquitoes, I heard that the mugwort cut on the day of Duanyang in May is the best, Mu Zhen asked He Laosan to cut more

When the time comes, when there are more mosquitoes, burn wormwood, smoke mosquitoes with smoke, boil mugwort water, take a bath can also prevent sores and the like

He Laosan first helped Mu Zhen fill up the pigweed, and then began to busy himself

There is a lot of pigweed in this place, thinking about it, the ox tail is a little small, the ears are small, the industry is Ge'er, the seedlings, the saffron and the like are all pigs love to eat, and the couple will fill a basket after a while

"There are so many artemisia here, why don't we cut more and send them to my father," Mu Zhen said that her father and mother naturally did not refer to the two sons of the He family

"Well, good," Mu Zhen's request He Laosan was not satisfied

I want to cut them for Dr. Xu, as well as their own two people, so busy, the sun is full

In May, the bud valley hoes the second grass again, and when it is August, you can move it, the buds along the road are a little long, Mu Zhen's sleeves are a little long, and the neck is exposed outside, and the hair on the bud leaves is cut off in large patches, and the sweat flows on it, and the fire hurts

Mu Zhen touched the sweat on her neck and looked at the artichoke planted with the bud valley branch

A lot of artichoke seedlings in the field are yellow, and it is estimated that after this Duanyang Festival, it will be a few days after the Duanyang Festival, and the artichoke will be dug again, and then he will definitely have to endure hardships again

I just passed through these bud grain leaves from here, and it hurt her to cut her, so when He Laosan wanted to dig artichokes, but every day in this bud valley forest, I didn't know what it would be cut into when I got it

With such a big sun, with Song's temperament, he must have rushed to the slope before dawn
