Zhangjia Zhuangzi sent away the soldiers who went out in a grief, and the woman who was very smug on weekdays was red-eyed at the moment to sort out her husband's bags, Wang Xi and Old Man Zhang ran all over the meadow by the river, and did not find Tian Qi in his memory, but found a lot of plantain, and Old Man Zhang said that this kind of grass can also stop bleeding.

The two of them were busy for two whole days, before drying and grinding into powder, and distributing it to the Zhuang Hu who was going to go on the expedition, Zhuang Humen was very grateful, and there was a legendary story of Xu Erlang cured by Xu Jiazhuang, everyone felt that the medicine given by Wang Xi must be an excellent life-saving medicine, and a few women whose husbands were going to go out on the expedition were grateful to have to kowtow to Wang Xi a few heads, and the old man Zhang said sourly on the side: What kind of world, it is obviously the credit of a certain family...

Old man Zhang's son was also on the list, and Old man Zhang's daughter-in-law hugged her two-year-old son and wiped her tears: "So many people died last year, but you must come back alive•••••"

"Shut up! I can't say anything auspicious, the son of a certain family, of course he can come back alive! Old man Zhang scolded his daughter-in-law, turned around, but secretly wiped his eyes.

According to the law, the government soldiers should bring their own food, horizontal knives, bows and arrows, etc., in fact, they just have to pay enough food, and the government will uniformly take the collected grain to buy weapons and other things needed for the expedition, and the government soldiers will gather in Yongzhou Mansion to receive weapons, and then the governor of the state capital will take them to the governor of Jingzhou Road to report.

Wang Xi's household registration is fourteen years old, and Qiao'er's father has inconvenient legs and feet, so Qiao'er's family of four does not need to go on the expedition, but they have to pay enough two stones of grain, two zhang of silk, and three catties of hemp.

Even if the farmer raises pigs and sheep, they will not be slaughtered easily, so Qiao'er's butcher's business is not very good, fortunately, it will not be long before the summer grain harvest, Qiao'er's father's business of repairing farm tools is booming, there is no copper money in the countryside, all are traded in grain, Qiao'er's father only needs two liters of corn or one liter of wheat to beat a sickle, and the life is hard, but it is still passable.

It's just that there are a lot of villagers who come to Wang Xi to see a doctor, Wang Xi has a headache, he just took a few first aid classes, how can he ask what kind of diagnosis, he has to pull the old man Zhang together every time, fortunately, after all, the old man Zhang used to be a serious doctor in the Guogong Mansion, some minor illnesses are hand-to-hand, come and go to confirm the reputation of Wang Xi's miracle doctor, Wang Xi simply did not refute, and the old man Zhang divided the account, anyway, it didn't take much effort, the old man Zhang was also happy that the business was better than before.

It took a long time for Wang Xi to figure out that the big river that the villagers have been shouting is actually the largest tributary of Weishui - Jing River, entering the June day, the weather is gradually getting hotter, and a large forest by the Jing River is lively, the villagers are hiding in the forest in groups of three or five to have fun in the summer, and then to the father-in-law After beating him, Wang Xi often holds Xiao'er to cool down, but most of the children in the village do not play with Wang Xi, since a little kid took mud and threw Wang Xi in the face and was beaten by his own adults, no child dared to approach Wang Xi

After all, Wang Xi is twenty-eight years old in the psychological age, and playing with a group of little children and mud is always not quite right...

Playing a small game of stone painting with Xiao'er, a fast horse ran along the river embankment, Xu Erlang's longitudinal horse to Wang Xi five steps away before lifting the reins, a fish jumped over and dismounted, since the injury is good, this guy often comes to Zhangjia Zhuangzi to find Wang Xi to mess around, the government is not allowed to private storage of war horses, but Xu Erlang licked his face and said that this is my family's horse pulling the cart, who said that it was the war horse's ... Wang Xi couldn't help but sigh, it's good to be rich.

"It's hot this day, Brother Xi has found a good pastime, but it's a pity that a good man, just messing around, it's boring..."

Wang Xi glanced at him: "Your eldest brother has returned to the Yuanzhou army, and now he is also a petty official who speaks well, why don't you follow your eldest brother to make meritorious contributions, why did you come here to bully my sister?" ”

Xu Sidao teased Xiao'er, and said: "Who said it wasn't, but I Aya didn't agree, don't look at my eldest brother who looks thin and tender, that day I happened to see the eldest brother take off his shirt, and found that the back and chest were messy blood, after I Aya knew, he said that it was enough for a son of the Xu family to earn a future, and he always had to leave a continuation of the incense. The hands are constantly playing with Qiao'er with their teeth and claws.

The old man of the Xu family was originally the patriarch of Xujiazhuang, who had been a government official in the county before the Sui Dynasty, and then the war was frequent, so he returned to his hometown and still did his patriarch, probably in the early years of accumulating some money, the people were displaced at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Xujiazhuang was also poor, the old man took the opportunity to buy land, usually the villagers have any difficulties, but also generous, so in Xujiazhuang is also highly respected, slowly saved this family business, the field alone is enough to have about 800 acres, Xujiazhuang Sancheng became the old man's village, There are also a few shops in the county.

The old man is also a knowledgeable person, seeing that the Sui Dynasty has gone, he feels that it is useless to study in troubled times, and after the two sons are literate, they invited the master to teach martial arts, and the eldest son just performed the crown ceremony and sent it to his relatives who served as the chief secretary of the army in the former state capital to join the army, and in February this year, he also made a meritorious service and was awarded a lieutenant of the accompaniment, so he was a military attache of the grade. I didn't think that the Tang Dynasty would gradually settle down, and the youngest son was not very old, so he was forced to study every day, maybe it was still too late, and then he asked someone to go to the county to be a petty official, and his Xu family was also considered both civil and military, but unfortunately Xu Sidao was used to holding knives and guns since he was a child, and how could he listen to the old man to read those headache books and regulations at this time. So as long as this guy is free, he will roam around on the war horse that his eldest brother finally got ...

"The matter of joining the army can't help you, but the hot weather is a small matter, it's good to have ice" Wang Xi looked at Xu Si with a smile.

Xu Sidao sneered: "What kind of beautiful thing do you want, this solar term is just a little bit of ice left over from the winter by the nobles in the palace, and the lord of Yongzhou Mansion may not use it, don't think about it."

"When you were about to die, others didn't believe that I could save you, and I may not be able to do things that others can't do," he pulled Xu Sidao and whispered a few words, only to hear Xu Erlang dumbfounded.

Saltpeter ice, Wang Xi only saw the general steps on the Internet, that day when he saw his mother-in-law Cui sewing clothes for Wang Xi through the stove fire, he was sweating profusely, and Xiao'er's neck also had a lot of prickly heat, Wang Xi had the idea of making ice.

Saltpeter is available in Old Man Zhang's small pharmacy, as a medicinal material for treating diarrhea and reducing swelling, but Old Man Zhang's baby is tight, and Wang Xi has to find a way by himself.

Collected a few days of wall frost, with a small child in the old man Zhang's house stolen a clay pot in the river to build an earthen stove, the wall frost dissolved in the water, with a fine linen cloth filtered a few times, steamed dry, at the bottom of the jar there are only a little saltpeter crystals, a simple test, Wang Xi has absolute confidence in saltpeter ice, but saltpeter dissolved in water can not be used directly, the conductivity of the clay pot is too poor, Zhangjia Zhuangzi does not even have an iron pot, let alone a copper basin, fortunately caught Xu Sidao such a big household.

Fast back and forth very block, Xu Sidao brought a copper basin, Wang Xi and the three of them mysteriously threw the saltpeter made a few days ago in the water of Qiao'er's father to beat the iron shed, and used the copper basin to take clean water and put it in, slowly turning, not long after, the copper basin was flooded with ice flowers, and then slowly condensed.

Xiaoxiao shouted loudly without heart and lungs: "It's freezing! Ice, Aya, Niang, come and see, my brother is making ice."

Xu Sidao looked at the ice cubes that were still spreading in the copper basin in a daze, and stretched out his hand to slap himself.

Qiao'er's father and mother hurriedly ran over to see what was going on, and when they saw the ice cubes in the water Weng, they looked at each other in horror, Xi'er is really a child of the fairy family, how can he and his wife accept such a righteous son!

Xu Sidao deliberately ran again, brought the cut cooked pork, Cui's mixed some purslane, and the wine brought by Xu Sidao was chilled, and the Cui's who wanted to hide in the kitchen was pulled back to the table, and the family sat on the table in the yard, and soon the old man Zhang also held his little grandson to join in the fun, and the westernmost courtyard of Zhang's Zhuangzi was full of laughter and laughter for a while, and the warmth was infinite.

The wine is very light, Wang Xi, who is used to drinking a high degree of wine, looked at Xiaoxiao'er running around the yard with ice cubes with a satisfied face, and his father-in-law was still mysteriously telling Old Man Zhang how amazing his son's Guigu Qimen was.

Wang Xi's mind flew to Chang'an City, forty miles away, if history is correct, there, the Xuanwumen Change, about to begin••••••
