Wang Quancai left, and he didn't walk peacefully.

Although Wang Chong does not understand traditional Chinese medicine, he can still do a simple examination of the corpse, and he can see that Wang Quancai was not stoned to death in the first place.

When the house collapsed, it only hit his legs, and finally he gradually lost blood and died.

In addition to them, the rest of the village is not having a good time, and all the fertile fields that are about to be harvested have been soaked in water for too long, causing the crops to die and not to be harvested.

In addition, many people's houses have collapsed, property has been lost, countless people have been killed and injured, and more and more people have been displaced.

As for the imperial court, it was mediocre and incompetent, and the food that had been distributed by the disaster was embezzled by the officials layer by layer, and in the end, the victims did not receive any relief.

After the rainy season, Wang Chong and his mother covered Wang Quancai with a straw mat and simply buried it in the back mountain of their home.

It's not that Wang Chong doesn't want to buy a better coffin, it's that the family's belongings are gone, and there are only two people left and a breeding old sheep, and they can't afford to buy a coffin.

Wang Chong never imagined that the originally happy family would become like this after the disaster.

Fortunately, he has the thinking of a modern person, as long as he has hands and feet, he believes that he can stand up again.

At night, Wang Chong and his mother lived in the sheep shed, and in the middle of the night, the third watch heard the old sheep barking.

"Baa Baa ......"

This old sheep has lived for a long time and has a very smart brain, so his voice is very urgent.

Wang Chongyi rolled over and stood up, and without saying a word, picked up the axe that he had hidden in the haystack.

"Who!"

In the dark night, Wang Zhong saw two figures pulling the old sheep to leave.

"What the hell!"

Wang Chong cut it without saying a word, after all, these two people were thieves, so they turned their heads and ran away.

"Erping, what's wrong?" Chen Yu trembled and walked out.

"It's okay mother, there are two thieves who want to steal our sheep."

"This god won't give us a way to live, we're all like this, and there are thieves who are worried about us, cough cough cough ......"

Chen Yu cried all of a sudden, coughing violently.

These days she doesn't sleep well and doesn't eat well, she is getting older, and her body is getting worse and worse.

In the following time, Wang Chong asked Chen Yu to clean up the ruins at home, pick up some things that could be used, and look at the old sheep by the way.

As for him, he didn't farm anymore, because he didn't have any money to buy seeds, and now that he was planting, he didn't have time to wait for the harvest, so he had to find a way to get money and food.

So he took an axe and a shovel and went into the mountain decisively.

In these years, the mountain is still the world of animals, if you enter the deep mountains, it is easy to encounter wild beasts, so Wang Chong did not dare to go too deep into the mountains.

After climbing a few trees and digging out a few birds' eggs, Wang Zhong found a small hole, and he actually caught a nest of bamboo rats, there were three of them.

After being finished with an axe, he picked some wild fruits and mushrooms, and then went home.

When I got home, I saw several villagers gathered in front of my house.

"Erping damn, our family really has no money, you can do it, let your old sheep breed our ewes, my sixteen sheep, only these three are left."

Lao Huang's family led three ewes, and his family was also quite miserable, originally he was a blacksmith, but this time the house collapsed, and his son was stoned to death, but people always have to live, clean up and start a new life.

Originally, they had to charge two cents for one breeding, but this time they had to breed three ewes, and they had to get at least six cents.

But Lao Huang said that his family really has no money.

Chen Yu didn't know what to do at this time, but fortunately, Wang Chong came back.

"Uncle Huang." Wang Zhong shouted: "It's okay if you don't have money, give me something to eat." ”

"This ......"

Lao Huang was very embarrassed, who has food at this time, even if there is, who is willing to take it out, it is not what it used to be.

"Well, you can help me make some iron pipes in the future, and you can come and breed at any time." Wang thought about it again.

"That'll do fine." Lao Huang nodded without thinking about it, he was originally a blacksmith, and it was no problem to make one or two ironware.

After making it, Wang Zhong brought some wild fruits picked from the mountain for Chen Yu to eat, then boiled a pot of water and put down a pot of picked mushrooms.

When cooking, Wang Zhong quickly skinned and dug out the belly of the three bamboo rats, and was about to roast them, when he saw seven or eight lanterns appear in the distance.

"Hey, it looks like someone came to our house." Chen Yu said curiously.

Wang Chong also saw those lanterns, and when these people came closer, he realized that the leader was actually a beautiful woman, somewhat familiar.

The woman's face was a little cold, and after glancing at the bamboo rat in Wang Chong's hand, she covered her mouth and said, "You actually eat such a disgusting thing as a mouse." ”

"Girl, now that there is a famine outside, we can't help it." Chen Yu patted his chest and coughed back.

"Are you...... Sun Xiuxiu. ”

Wang Chong recognized this girl who used to be eccentric and wanted him to learn how to crow a rooster and a pig.

"It's me." Sun Xiuxiu frowned, "Father knows that you are not doing well, so let me come and pick you up." ”

Chen Yu was a little happy in her heart, but she was also a sensible person, their family was so poor now, I was afraid that they would be looked down upon in the past, she didn't care, but what about Wang Chong?

"Hurry up and prepare, my father is not in good health, and he wants to see you as soon as possible." Sun Xiuxiu said blandly.

"Got it." Wang nodded emphatically.

Originally, his plan was to rely on the iron pipes made by Uncle Huang to make rudimentary muskets to hunt, and then sell the furs and meat from hunting to the county seat to earn silver, and then take the accumulated silver to the Sun family to propose marriage when he was eighteen years old.

But since people came over so early, there was no need for him to be hypocritical.

Chen Yu went to the sheep shed to pack up and salute, and Sun Xiuxiu said to the king: "You come with me, I have something to tell you." ”

"Yes."

followed Sun Xiuxiu to the field, Sun Xiuxiu turned her back to him and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you still don't like to laugh like when you were a child." ”

"What do you want to say?"

"My father had a serious illness, and he died." Sun Xiuxiu turned around: "He wants to see us get married as soon as possible before he dies, his wish." ”

"Yes."

Wang Chongyan is concise and to the point, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided after all, although the marriage came earlier, but there is no way, get married.
