Since the beginning of autumn in the first month of July, it has been rainy in Tongzhou.

No, it has only been sunny for two days, and the autumn rain has once again infiltrated Nanxinzhuang.

Squeak, squeak......

In the pavilion of the well, Wang Shouye shook his wheel absentmindedly.

It wasn't until the clatter of the barrels that he came to his senses, and he hurriedly poked his arms to take off the bucket, pinned the hook to the wheel, and ran to the bottom of the porch as if he were stepping on the clogs.

Raising his hand to sweep away the rain on his head, he was pricked by the wooden hairpin that tied his hair, and he remembered in amazement that at this time, his head was not a board, but a long hair.

It seems that my adaptability is not good.

Laughing at himself in his heart, Wang Shouye took the loofah and rubbed the iron pot, poured most of the pot of water into it in one go, tilted his head and asked, "Dad, do you boil it now, or wait until you roll out the dough sheets?" ”

"Let me come, you made it for a long time yesterday, and you couldn't light a fire - you can peel two heads of garlic."

"Isn't it raining and damp?"

Wang Shouye argued with insufficient confidence, followed the dripping eaves to the root of the west wall, tore off the two ends from the garlic braid, squatted under the window and broke it, peeling off one petal at a time.

After only three or five petals, he couldn't help but walk again.

It has been three full days since the battle of wits and courage under the Liuli Bridge, and although he still has all kinds of discomforts, he has gradually integrated into this world.

However......

What kind of world is it in right now?

Is it an ancient dynasty with eight classics, or is there a parallel universe with demons and monsters?

According to what I heard in Liuliqiao, it seems that the latter is more likely.

But in the past few days, I have been knocking on the side and inquiring about all the details, but there is no difference with the Ming Dynasty in history.

worry about

It's really sad!

If this problem is not clarified, Wang Shouye can't even determine the goal of his future struggle: should he ask Tian to ask for help, or to ask for immortals? !

"What do you want to do with this?"

The voice of the old man suddenly sounded beside him, and as soon as Wang Shouye looked up, he saw him holding a semi-steamed curtain dough sheet, looking at himself worriedly.

As soon as the eyes of the father and son met, the old man immediately changed his face, and said angrily: "Peel a garlic and grind it, go, pick all the grapes for me." ”

There is a grape trellis in the southeast corner of the courtyard, which used to be the place where the two of them used to cool off.

But now, it looks like a water curtain hole.

Wang Shouye peeled off the peeled and unpeeled, piled all his brains on the windowsill, patted the dust off his hands, took the vegetable basket by the stove, and prepared to go over to pick grapes.

"Come back!"

Wang Bricklayer hurriedly stopped him, turned around and took out an oil-paper umbrella from behind the door, and 'smashed' it into his arms with a raised hand: "This is just better, don't be like Li Xiucai next door, and then sit down with the root of the disease." ”

Li Mubai's illness did not come out of the rain.

Holding out the paper umbrella, Wang Shouye walked quickly to the grape trellis, put the bamboo basket on the ground, and looked inside, and saw that there were a hundred and ten bunches of grapes hanging inside.

And the top grains are plump, and some of them are even the size of lychees.

"Dad, what kind of grape is this, why does it grow so big?"

"It's grapes."

The old man casually replied while putting slices into the pot: "In previous years, it was not so big, and this year I don't know why, I have thinned several fruits, and I have grown so much, and I am much bigger than in previous years." ”

After a pause, he said: "Not only our grapes, but also the melons, fruits, pears and peaches in the village have been growing very happily recently, and even the crops in the field have increased by three to five percent more than in previous years." ”

"It hasn't snowed since last winter, and it's supposed to be a famine year, who would have thought ......?"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Wang Shouye's heart suddenly moved, if those strange fish contaminated with the resentment of drowning babies had not appeared until recently......

"You wash your hands after picking the grapes, and the dough is cooked."

"Got it."

Wang Shouye agreed, raised his hand to pick grapes, but then frowned again, turned around and asked: "What about these dozens of bunches, if you can't finish picking them, won't they be spoiled?" ”

"I didn't let you finish eating, in the afternoon, we will send some door-to-door, and you will also recognize people by the way."

I see.

Wang Shouye was relieved, and swept the grape trellis from east to west, and transported it to the house three times before it was properly cleaned up.

While he was washing his hands, the bricklayer came in from outside with a wooden barrel, put it on the ground, and said, "You can get a bowl and send it to the next door first—see if he can decoct the medicine himself, and if not, bring the medicine back." ”

"Got it."

Wang Shouye picked the noodles with the sea bowl, and then filled the leftover meat foam sauce from yesterday and the roasted loofah in the morning, and went out with an umbrella and went straight to Li Mubai's house next door.

When I arrived at the door of Li's house, I saw two black lacquered doors with eight figures, barely hanging on the door frame, as if they would collapse as long as they were touched casually.

This was smashed by several brothers of the Wu family in a neighboring village three days ago when they were carrying their corpses to block the door.

Thinking of the scene that day, Wang Shouye's mood was a little heavy.

Wu Qiuxia.

The eldest daughter of the second eldest of the Wu family, a sixteen-year-old girl with a beautiful face.

When he was in the prime of his youth, he was lying on the door panel that day, and his body was even more swaggered by his parents and uncles.

Subsequently, the Wu family cried hoarsely again, cutting off the future of the living and ruining the innocence of the deceased.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Zhao family came to the door to regret the marriage.

On the second day, the magistrate of Miao County traveled to Shuntianfu and asked for Li Mubai's fame.

In fact, most of this was expected by Wang Shouye, and even he could be called one of the initiators.

But he didn't expect that Wu Qiuxia would be forced to commit suicide, and even the corpse capital became a bargaining chip and prop for this farce.

If he had known that Zhao Bantou's 'righteous annihilation of relatives' would unfold in such a fierce form, he would never have mentioned these four words that day!

Alas~

Silently sighing and crossing the threshold, Wang Shouye entered the room with a cold face, and silently put the bowl of noodles on the square stool at the head of the bed.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Li Mubai, who was more and more dry, reluctantly struggled to sit up from the bed, and the painful dry cough did not stop without opening his mouth, and it took a long time to recover his strength, and he smiled and said: "How ...... Thank you very much. ”

"If you want to thank me, thank my father."

Wang Shouye stiffly rejected him, didn't ask him at all, and took away the medicine bag at the bedside.

The adultery of the filial piety period was exposed, and Li Mubai became a disgusting existence in Nanxinzhuang.

That is to say, Wang Wa is ingenious and kind, thinking about the friendship of his neighbors for decades, not only helping him hire a doctor, but also providing him with three meals a day to eat and drink.

Li Mubai's smile became more and more bitter, but he still arched his hand and said, "Then bother the virtuous brother and thank Uncle Wang for me." ”

"When the medicine is ready, I'll put away the bowl again."

Wang Shouye dropped a sentence in response to the question, and prepared to return to his home.

Who knew that when he got out of the hall, he saw a lot of people bustling outside the gate, and some people were looking inside.

Without waiting for him to take a closer look, a young man in a green coat and a small hat arched his hand through the courtyard gate and asked, "Dare to ask Li Mubai if Li Xianggong is at home?" ”

Although there is no lack of politeness in his speech and demeanor, his demeanor is a bit condescending.

Isn't it all over, why are people still coming to the door?

Wang Shouye was suspicious in his heart, looked back at the window in the middle, and said, "Li Xiangcheng is lying in the house." ”

As he spoke, he strode to the door.

The young man in the green coat and the little hat thought that he was out to greet the guests, so he hurriedly introduced sideways: "This is our ......"

"I'm next door."

Wang Shouye was speechless, and returned to his house without squinting.

With Li Mubai's current reputation, most of the people who come to the door will not be a good thing, and he doesn't want to be affected by the pond fish again.

However, what Wang Shouye didn't expect was that at this time, there were also guests in his house - and looking at the clothes, they should be in the same group as those people outside the Li family.

What's going on?

"Keep the business!"

Zhenghu was suspicious, and the old man had already hurried out to greet him, and urged repeatedly: "Hurry up and clean up, and go to work in the county with my father!" ”

Going to work in the county?

Wang Shouye couldn't help but be stunned: "Haven't we eaten yet?" Besides, it's raining......"

"What's the matter with being hungry!"

Wang Bricklayer said, turned back and said with a smile on his spine: "Steward Sun, please wait a while, our two will prepare the guy's affairs, and leave immediately." ”

Get~

Don't care about your life goals, the most important thing is to go to the Wang family's lowly family first!
