At the foot of Huangzhu Mountain, there were originally more than 100 mountain people left behind by Fang Dongquan and them, and now there were nearly 200 people who came with Li Xuan and them, making the population here increase to more than 300 people.

It's just that there are not many young and strong among them, only fifty or sixty people, because more young and strong people are still taking officers and soldiers around the mountains under the leadership of Fang Dongquan, and even if everything goes well, it will take many days before they can come back.

Most of the villagers who have just arrived here are packing up their houses, because there are not enough houses to live in, and some of them are still cutting down bamboo and wood to build wooden houses.

Because of the tight schedule, the wooden house they built was very simple, without even earthen walls, only using trees and bamboo as the frame, and the branches as the top.

If he was a scholar, perhaps the wooden house in his eyes would be like this: behind the forest hut was a verdant green bamboo, the bamboo forest swayed gently in the wind like waves undulating with each other, and the sound of Xiao Xiaozhu was mixed with the chirping of birds.

The buds of the grass beside the cobblestone path in front of the door are stained with the morning dewdrops, dazzling like pearls in the sun, and the wooden boards on both sides of the wooden door are engraved with couplets, which read: wild bamboo shoots and mountain vegetables, and there is no need to worry about drinking friends; Bamboo bed rattan pillow, why bother with the fairy family.

However, in the eyes of Li Xuan, a layman, this wooden house is too simple, and it can't shelter from the wind and rain at all, at most, it can barely shade the sun.

After walking over and asking a few people who were building houses, Li Xuan learned that the wooden houses they were building now were only temporary residences, and after settling down, they would start making mud bricks, quarrying mountain stones, and then building houses that could really live for a long time.

In front of some of the houses, there are fruits and vegetables, chickens and ducks shuttle leisurely, and in front of the rows of houses, there is a small plain, a small part of the plain has been cultivated, and the fields where rice and other crops are planted are in the middle of summer.

Judging from this season and the growth of the rice, Li Xuan knew that it would not take long for the rice to produce ears one by one, and the early rice would be harvested in July and August.

However, Li Xuan's understanding of crops in his previous life was not deep, and he couldn't see how the yield was from a piece of green rice, but it should be good from the perspective of growth, thanks to the abundant water flow of several streams here, and the terrain is flat, even if there is no large-scale water conservancy project, but it is enough to divert water to irrigate the fields.

If only on the surface, this should be a paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the world!

However, Li Xuan knew that behind this paradise, there was a den of serious bandits.

Maybe these bandits used to be just ordinary villagers who didn't have enough to eat, but now they are bandits.

However, Li Xuan was not prepared to criticize them in his heart, because Li Xuan was now in this bandit's den, and he was regarded as the emperor by Fang Dongquan and them, to a certain extent, he, Li Xuan, was the nominal bandit leader in this bandit's den.

The next day, after Li Xuan had breakfast, he went to the back room to see Dong Yunyun's situation.

Dong Yunyun did not fall asleep like yesterday, but half-leaned on the bed, and Zhu'er on the side was feeding her porridge.

Li Xuan stepped forward and asked, "Do you feel better?" ”

Dong Yunyun saw Li Xuan, gently pushed Zhu'er's hand, signaled that she would eat later, and said at the same time: "With Lao Gongzi's trouble, the concubine feels much better than yesterday!" ”

"In this way, Mr. Qian's new recipe should be effective!" Li Xuan stepped forward and looked at Dong Yunyun carefully.

At this time, although her face was still a little pale, her spirit was obviously more than yesterday, and she made Li Xuan feel a lot more relieved.

Dong Yunyun has been seriously ill in the past few days, and she even had a long coma yesterday, which made Li Xuan quite worried.

Now that I see that her spirit is better, I am also relieved, although Qian Mengjiu failed to prescribe the right medicine two days ago, but after changing the prescription yesterday, it is obvious that it has a curative effect.

Qian Mengjiu, a doctor, still seems to have two brushes, not the kind of quack doctor who only collects money from people and kills people.

"You have to eat more, even if you have a cold and no appetite to eat, but even if it is clear porridge, you have to eat more, so that you can get better quickly!" Li Xuan looked at the half-empty bowl in Zhu'er's hand, and immediately turned his head to Zhu'er and said, "Go and serve another bowl and let your young lady eat more!" ”

Zhu'er nodded: "Got it!" ”

When I turned my head to look at Zhu'er, I found that this Zhu'er's face was not very good-looking, her face was a little haggard, and there were obvious dark circles under her eye sockets, it was estimated that she had not been able to rest well in order to take care of Dong Yunyun in the past few days.

Immediately said: "You also have to pay attention to your body, but don't your young lady is not well, you yourself will fall ill, I will let someone help you when you go back!" ”

When Zhu'er heard this, she said, "I can do it, no one else!" ”

And Dong Yunyun on the bed said: "Yes, listen to Li Gongzi, you can go and have a good rest later, you didn't sleep all night last night!" ”

Li Xuan knew that this Zhu'er was not worried that others would take care of Dong Yunyun, and she was even more afraid that those bandits would be unfavorable to her young lady, so she immediately said: "Don't worry, I won't let those people outside, I'll ask my mother to come over and help take a look first!" ”

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Zhu'er hesitated, but she didn't insist, and nodded slightly.

After leaving the back room, Li Xuan went to Mrs. Bai's room next door, and Mrs. Bai had just finished breakfast, Li Xuan didn't add much nonsense, and directly explained his intention.

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai did not immediately agree, but stared at Li Xuan for a long time, and then said, "Xuan'er, don't you really like her, treat her as a daughter-in-law!" ”

Li Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "How come, I just think she's quite pitiful!" ”

"She's pitiful, and we won't be pitiful!" But after saying this in passing, Madame Bai sighed: "Alas, forget it, I'll go over and have a look later!" ”

Li Xuan knew very well that her mother, Madame Bai, only had herself in her eyes, whether it was before or now, she wanted to leave with her wholeheartedly, but the development of things in the past few days had exceeded the control of her, the wife of a small landlord.

From beginning to end, she didn't treat Dong Yunyun, a delicate lady, as a daughter-in-law, before fleeing, she used Dong Yunyun to lower Fang Dongquan's defense, and when she fled, she still disliked Dong Yunyun's master and servant It was a burden, if it wasn't for Li Xuan to make it clear, she would never have taken them with her when she fled.

When the officers and soldiers came to attack, they took Dong Yunyun with them again, preparing to take her as a hostage when necessary, and on the way to Huangzhushan, she never cared about Dong Yunyun's illness, and she didn't even say a word of greeting.

Perhaps in this little woman's heart, no one else matters except her own son.

And now, no matter what kind of mentality Madame Bai has in agreeing to take care of Dong Yunyun, Li Xuan is relieved, there are so many people in this bandit den, and the one who can really make him feel at ease and trust is his own mother, Madame Bai, since she agreed, it is much better than Li Xuan to find a few bandits' daughters to take care of Dong Yunyun.

As soon as he came out of Madame Bai's room, he saw Qian Mengjiu walking towards him with a small step, with a hint of panic on his face.
