After sending off the yacha, the village gathered all the people in the village again and read the notice of the government. The discussion was louder than just now, and the crying almost drowned out the sound of the village. The village is shouting a few times, the villagers are quieter, but the sound of sobbing, and from time to time, the village is also aware that the villagers are uncomfortable at this time, serving in this county, you can also rely on the family to help one or two, although tired, but always not starve and freeze, this went to other counties, whether it is life or death depends on the government, who can give up.

But the "pass" fee suddenly rose to five taels, even if the family has it, it can only be exempted from one person's service, not to mention that Lijia Village is already poor, and there are almost no families who can afford to pay for it.

Even Muramasa himself has a headache, and the old man of their family is only one year old to sixty, and he will also serve this year, so the money in his hand must be added to the old man's hand to be exempt from military service, and even his second brother's is not enough. Not to mention other people.

For a while, the village was gloomy and miserable, and no one even mentioned the incident of Li Sanzhu injuring Shiro just now, and after getting this letter, they all went home to find a way.

Mura Zhengji remembered Li Shilang, but he still went to Situ Yan's house.

Situ Yan has already returned home with Li Dalang, Li Daniu's family is over, and the service has nothing to do with their family, but their family doesn't even have a success.

After returning home, the family ate together, fed Shiro and drank medicine, so he let him rest first. Situ Yan only then had time to ask Da Lang about the "guard". As for Li Sanzhu's matter, Situ Yan should have never happened, after all, she has nothing to do with this Li Sanzhu.

But the four brothers of the Li family are different, no matter what, that person is also the third uncle of their father's younger brother. This matter can be handled like this, all for the sake of these four brothers, and fortunately, Shiro is not a big deal, otherwise Situ Yan would not let Li Sanzhu go easily even for the sake of these four people. As for whether these people came back when they were in service, it had nothing to do with her. As long as these people don't trouble her anymore, she is willing to let them go for the sake of Li Dalang's face.

The most important thing is that they are afraid that Li Dalang will feel uncomfortable, so the family is sitting together at this time, so they casually find a word and chat.

Li Dalang introduced the matter of the guard, and Situ Yan realized that this guard service is that every adult (a man over 15 years old and under 60 years old who is not a "three diseases" disease) must serve one month of labor in the county every year, in addition to serving the two types of compulsory labor, such as regular soldier and border service, engaged in local civil engineering, building bridges and roads, managing rivers and canals, and transferring Caogu to the valley. I won't go to other counties easily, and I don't know how I went to other counties this year. This is more of a soldier to do more, eat less, very tired, every year is to serve in this county and can't stand the exhaustion to death, this back to other counties I am afraid that there are more dead and injured.

As soon as he talked about this, Li Dalang felt even more sad, he will become a Ding next year, and he will also go to serve when the time comes, his younger siblings are still young, and I don't know if he has the life to come back, if he can't come back, what will happen to the children in this house? In fact, this Li Dalang is really worried, even if Situ Yan can't afford this money, when Li Dalang goes to serve, she Situ Yan can live a good life. It's just that relatives are willing to take responsibility for themselves, as if no one else can live without him. It is a happy concern, and it is also a kind of care between relatives.

A few people were chatting, and they heard a few rings at the courtyard door, and guessed that it was Muramasa who came, Situ Yan sat in the kang at this time and didn't get off the ground, it was Erlang who got up to open the door. Let Muramasa into the hall, and the big guys went back to the west to take care of Shiro, leaving Situ Yan alone to greet Muramasa.

"Girl, this is two taels of silver, as well as the key and lock of your house, you can put it away, if Shiro has anything to do, you tell your uncle, as soon as it dawns tomorrow, I will drive the ox cart to send you into the city."

"Thank you, Uncle Wangfu, I wrote it down. We don't want this money, Shu Ming'er sent the villagers to serve, and went to the county seat to buy some cakes for everyone to share, if there is any leftover, put it in the hands of the uncle first, and wait for the uncles in the village to help one or two if they have a need. It can be regarded as a piece of our family's heart for the people in the village, so it should be regarded as a blessing for the fourth brother! ”

"Girl, these two taels of silver are a lot, and you divided them like this? Why don't you discuss it with Da Lang? Muramasa felt that it was Shiro who was injured, and seeing that Da Lang was still in love with some people in the old house, he was afraid that Situ Yan would act arbitrarily, and a few babies would hurt the peace.

"This money is given from there, although it is the medicine money for the fourth brother, but if our family really collects it, I am afraid that there will be more places to eat in the future, and it will be even more uncomfortable for the brothers to be caught in the middle. Although my family is poor, it is not yet time to open the pot, and I inquired with my eldest brother, and if I don't do it well, it will kill people. If our family didn't serve this year, it can be regarded as doing our best! Situ Yan was reluctant to accept this money, although she was not afraid of things, she also did not want to make trouble. took out the money and distributed it to the villagers, so that the villagers would take advantage of it, and if the Cao family wanted to make any more trouble in the future, the villagers could help them.

Muramasa thought about it for a while, but he didn't object. The two chatted a few more words, Situ Yan thought that there was still something at home in the village, "There must be something going on at Uncle's house, and I won't stay long, and after this period of time, I will come to the door to thank you." ”

"I really want to say thank you, and my uncle wants to thank you. If you don't do it according to your temperament, how can you give up, you are for the sake of Uncle Quan's face, and your uncle is like a mirror in his heart. Uncle has written down this matter, don't worry, Uncle has the confession document they signed in his hand, if they look for trouble again, Uncle will be the first to put them in prison. ”

"With your words, I am relieved. Uncle, don't be angry with this kind of person, service is a big thing, and you should do it first. None of this is a problem. It's just that when Ming'er's uncle entered the city, he brought me back two locks, one for the courtyard gate and the other for the house door, both of which were smashed by Li Sanzhu. ”

"That's okay, I'll write it down, and I'll do it for you tomorrow. That uncle went back first. You're tired all day, so go to sleep! ”

Situ Yan sent Cunzheng out of the courtyard under the kang, closed the courtyard door, and then entered the main house. Seeing that the three of them came out of the west room, they were sitting on the kang, and then they remembered that this hour was the time to study.

"Big brother, there is still a lot of Ula grass piled up in the firewood room at home, you and the second brother go and get some, and we will weave straw mats and read books at the same time."

"Little Wu, didn't you say that the straw mat is enough, don't make it up yet?" When Li Daniu's family was going to serve, Situ Yan had already told Da Lang a few people when he came back, so Erlang also saw it and knew that it was best to do this, although he was still angry in his heart, he also endured it.

"It was enough before, but now we have to make up more." Situ Yan weaves these straw mats for the villagers who have a good relationship with her, these people go to serve and have to bring their own quilts, but what is the situation of these people, she knows in her heart that the quilt is not enough to keep warm, even barely blocking the wind. So she wanted to make some straw mats, sew a few mats together, these straw mats plus their own quilts, it shouldn't be a problem to keep warm, and send some homemade pills to strengthen Peiyuan, it shouldn't be difficult to survive for a month.

She doesn't want to talk about these things in detail with Da Lang, this person has too many things in his head, his mind is mixed, and he doesn't learn things so quickly, so she still thinks about it alone, as long as the four of them can do things according to orders.

After studying for two hours, they were just about to wash and go to bed when they heard a quick knock on the door, and Muramasa's voice came in from outside the courtyard.

"Girl, open the door. I'm your Uncle Wangfu. ”

"Here we are." Situ Yan thought that something was going wrong, otherwise Murazheng would not have gone and returned, and he knocked so urgently.

When I opened the courtyard door, I saw Muramasa and Ryoko standing together, and Muramasa was holding an angry lantern in his hand, which made people panic.

"Uncle Wangfu, what's wrong?"

"Girl, I also have no choice, Liangzi and her daughter-in-law may be pregnant, but now she is red, the gate of this county is closed, if you want to find a Langzhong, you have to be tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it will go on like this, hey, uncle can't help it, so I begged you."

Looking at Muramasa's embarrassed appearance, Situ Yan also understood that she knew about medicine and didn't want others to know, but Muramasa brought Ryoko here, thinking that Ryoko had saved her life before, and she might make a move.

"Look at what Uncle said, Brother Liangzi, don't worry, I'll bring something with you to have a look." If you have anything to say, you have to wait until you save people first, that thin woman, although she has only met once, but at least at that time, although she was afraid of death, she still gave Situ Yan a trace of warmth, just for this, she will not die without help.

went back to the east room, took out some medicine from the ring, prepared a pair of medicine bags to protect the fetus and stop bleeding, and took the needle, it was Liangzi's daughter-in-law who had an accident at Liangzi's house, and it was inconvenient for Dalang to follow, Situ Yan confessed, and then followed Muramasa and walked quickly to Liangzi's house.

On the way, Liangzi was anxious, and seeing that Situ Yan was walking slowly, he carried her on his back and rushed home with her. Situ Yan was a little uncomfortable, but she also knew that Liangzi was anxious, and no matter how uncomfortable she was, she had to endure it.

Entered Liangzi's house, and didn't hurry to take a closer look, so he was taken into the inner room of the east chamber by Liangzi, Liangzi Niang and Aunt Fu stayed by Liangzi's daughter-in-law's side, Liangzi Niang was shocked when she saw Situ Yan, but when she saw Aunt Fu, she breathed a sigh of relief and knew that this child would definitely be able to save her daughter-in-law's life, although she was worried, she didn't ask much.

Situ Yan didn't care about greeting people, so she invited everyone out first, and then took the pulse of Liangzi's daughter-in-law, although she was also worried about this woman, but she didn't want others to see her heal, "Little Wu, I beg you to help me keep this child, I've been married to Liangzi for a year, and I've always wanted a child, but now, woo~~~."

When Liangzi's daughter-in-law and Liangzi invited Murazheng to come over, they originally wanted to borrow an ox cart, but Muramasa said that the city gate had been delivered, and there was no way to go into the city to invite Langzhong, both of them were already desperate, but they didn't want Muramasa to say that there was a Langzhong in the village, and they took him to Situ Yan's door. Originally, the two of them didn't believe it, but at this time, they were in a hurry to go to the doctor, that is, it was recommended by the village, and even if this girl was not Langzhong, at least she knew more than them, and she would be cured.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry, you are weak now, if you cry again, even if I have a way, I can't keep this child. Don't talk yet, I'll give you a good pulse. Situ Yan was a little anxious, just when she took the pulse, it had been determined that this Liangzi daughter-in-law was pregnant, but the month was still light for more than a month, if the mother was too excited at this time, I was afraid that the child would really not be able to keep it. She understands the pain in the heart of the woman in front of her, her husband is about to go to the service, life and death are uncertain, if the family can stay behind, she should feel better in this heart.

Calmed down, took a new pulse, and checked the woman's **, but it was accompanied by a small amount of bleeding, no blood clots, and a slight pain in the lower abdomen, but it was not obvious. Knowing this, she was a little reassured, these are just symptoms of threatened miscarriage. If you take care of it properly, you should be fine.

Only then did he call Liangzi who was guarding the door in, "Brother Liangzi, auntie, if you are willing to believe me, you will listen to my arrangement in the next few days, I don't guarantee that it will be successful, but I am sixty percent sure." If you have any doubts, you can wait until dawn to enter the county seat, and I should not have said anything about it just now. ”

The village is standing aside, and it is not easy to speak, this matter is related to the life and death of others, and the girl did not say anything, but she was also afraid of attracting hatred in the future.

"I believe it." Liangzi also went to the ancestral hall today, he was looking at this little baby he saved at the beginning, he hadn't seen him for more than a month, and this child had a convincing power. But it's hard to notice, if he hadn't been paying attention to it, I'm afraid he wouldn't have found it, looking at Situ Yan's eyes at this time, he knew that it would be fine to hand over his daughter-in-law to this girl. And this person was still found by Muramasa, and he was even more convinced that this girl was capable.

Situ Yan glanced at Liang Ziniang again, without the consent of the old man, even if she wanted to save people, she would not make a move.

"Liangzi, my mother is very confused. It's not that I don't believe it, but what if there's a case? ”

"Mother, look what you said. Xiao Wu can come to me and have confidence in her, even if there is something, I will not blame anyone, only blame this child for not having a relationship with our family. "Liangzi insisted on what he said, and his mother also knew that maybe the child wouldn't be able to keep it until tomorrow, and even if it wasn't good, even adults couldn't keep it. It's better to try, if it becomes a family, it will be imported, if not, it will just be a dream. In the end, I nodded in agreement.

"Even if you all agree, I still have a saying, what happened here today, no one should mention it again in the future, and you are not allowed to tell outsiders about it, even if any of you say it, I will not admit it. Don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless, hurting each other's friendship. ”

Situ Yan didn't want to say anything else, the Muramasa family understood, what she was most afraid of was Liangzi's mother, and this was just to give her a wake-up call.

Only then did he take out the medicine bag from the back basket, fortunately he had all the preparations when he went out, and the tocolytic medicine included angelica, Chuanxiong, white peony, astragalus, magnolia, Qianghuo, dodder seed, Sichuan fritillary, citrus aurantium, nepeta, ginger, licorice and mugwort leaves to let Liangzi go to fry first.

"Uncle Wangfu and Aunt Fu go back first, this village is the busy time, here is me, it's not almost, trouble Uncle to bring a message to my eldest brother before going back, I'm afraid that they won't sleep, let the eldest brother look at the fourth brother, if there is anything, come to Brother Liangzi's house to find me."

"Girl, I'll watch here, you go back first, Shiro is still hurt?" Aunt Fu is worried about this side and Li Shilang's side.

"Aunt Fu, it's not that I don't want you to watch, it's really that tonight is the most dangerous time, but I'm not very sure, so I have to stay, the fourth brother doesn't have to worry too much, I just let them watch it more, I think nothing should happen." Situ Yan also wanted to go home to rest, but the good people did it to the end and sent the Buddha to the west, how could there be danger here, so she left. She wouldn't do this kind of irresponsible thing. There is Shiro again, it's been an afternoon, if something happens sooner, she won't wait so long, and she went out to take a look before going out, Shiro slept peacefully, his complexion recovered a little, and there should be no more trouble.

"Alright then, I'll go back with your uncle first. I'll go over and pass the word on the big guy's side, you don't have to worry. "Sent away Muramasa and Aunt Fu, and it happened that Ryoko had fried the medicine.

After feeding the medicine, and after nearly an hour, Liangzi's daughter-in-law felt that her stomach did not hurt anymore, and she did not bleed again, Situ Yan gave her a pulse again, and the pulse was much more stable, so Liangzi made an egg porridge to feed his daughter-in-law, which made people sleep.

Liangzi was a little embarrassed, looking at Situ Yan with red eyes, and feeling distressed for this six-year-old baby, but he didn't understand anything, and he didn't dare to let Situ Yan go back to rest, in case his daughter-in-law was uncomfortable, he could only watch dryly.

"Little Wu, thank you!"

"Brother Liangzi, you saved my life at the beginning, and now I can save your child's life, this is the reincarnation of cause and effect, if I was killed at the beginning, I didn't get saved even if I wanted to. So don't be so polite anymore. ”

"You're hungry, I'll get you something to eat."

"Not hungry. Brother Liangzi, you go to sleep for a while, I will go back as soon as the morning dawns, and my sister-in-law will have to be taken care of by you. ”

"I'm not sleepy."

"If you are not sleepy, you have to sleep, Brother Liangzi, I should say something that I shouldn't say, my sister-in-law is so afraid because you are going to serve in forced labor, if you don't pay attention to your body, it's not for your sister-in-law to follow you in a hurry." For the sake of your sister-in-law, you also have to go to rest. As long as you survive tonight, you will be fine for a few more days. During the days of your service, I will come over every day to check my sister-in-law's pulse, you don't have to worry about these, you just need to remember that there is still a sister-in-law and your unborn child at home, just take care. When you come back from service, I will definitely give you a healthy daughter-in-law. ”

"Xiao Wu, I won't say anything, if I can come back alive, I will repay you for this kindness."

Without waiting for Situ Yan to reply, Liangzi saluted and curled up to the side to sleep. There are no extra houses in this countryside, and Situ Yan doesn't care about this, she sits on the edge of the kang, leans against the wall and starts thinking about her thoughts.
