Chapter 150: Fan Siyuan's Growth History (2)
Li Changfeng lived in the village, although he was reluctant to mention his life experience, but the two siblings could clearly understand, from his words and deeds, to his extraordinary conversation, they could conclude that he was not an ordinary person.
So the two brothers and sisters of the Fan family will be more or less wary of him, because the reason why they wander around and live all over the world is to beware of rich and powerful people, especially those who are officials.
Brother Fan Chengyuan and sister Fan Daosi, they are all orphans of the prince of the previous dynasty, if the overall situation is decided today, they can no longer do anything, they can only hide their names, looking forward to spending their lives in peace.
In order to repay his benefactor for saving his life and taking him in, Li Changfeng decided to work in the mountains with Fan Chengyuan to subsidize his family.
Fan Daosi dried medicinal herbs at home, treated the villagers for illness, cooked the food around him, and waited for them to come back to eat, so that the days were peaceful and comfortable.
In September, it is the season when all kinds of fruits are ripe, and every day Li Changfeng and Fan Chengyuan will ask for a lot of wild fruits after finishing farm work, and call them home for Fan Daosi to taste.
Fan Chengyuan never let Fan Daosi go to the field to do farm work, so Fan Daosi is much better looking than the girls in the same village, her slender fingers have not become rough because she has done heavy work, and her skin has not been sallow by the sun, plus she has read some books and understands some pharmacology, which makes her temperament look much better.
When Fan Daosi was seventeen years old, that is, half a year after Li Changfeng came to the village, all girls in this village were going to marry when they were seventeen years old, before she was seventeen years old, the village came, many people asked about relatives, there were original villagers in the village, and there were also other villages who came to ask, they invited a matchmaker to ask, but they were all sent away by Fan Chengyuan, the reason is also very simple, only said that he was reluctant to give his sister and married out, and also said that his family was poor and could not afford to give too glorious dowry.
On this day, Fan Chengyuan went to the town, and it took two days to come back, and Li Changfeng should have followed, but Fan Chengyuan didn't know why, as soon as he remembered the matchmaker and those men who came to propose marriage during this time, he was a little worried about his sister, and he was alone at home, so he left Li Changfeng behind.
No matter what purpose Li Changfeng had for approaching them, but his purpose was not achieved, he should have protected his sister, so Fan Chengyuan went to the town to buy some things with confidence.
Sure enough, Fan Chengyuan only left home on the front foot, and there was no one in several houses on the back foot, so they all made an appointment to come to his house together.
Li Changfeng came out to meet the guests, Fan Daosi was reluctant to come out in the house, these matchmakers ran the most diligently in the past nearly a month, and ran back and forth more than a dozen times in less than a month.
It's not that the Fan family is unkind and pretends to be high, but the people introduced by these matchmakers are too old, and those in their thirties have not yet married, and some are not only poor, but also have a bad temper and are old.
Some even married several wives in a row, but because he was easily irritable, there were no longer a few who beat his wife to death in a fit of anger.
In this era, the so-called marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is a dog, if he marries a bad husband, he has a bad temper every day, beats people when he is drunk, or makes his wife angry for no reason, there are also many people, several girls in several nearby villages are beaten alive by their husbands and fall ill in bed, lie down for several months before they pass away, and after death, they are buried directly in a thin coffin, and they don't even have a name and tombstone.
Fan Daosi doesn't want this kind of life, if it is really better to live and die than to marry like this, then it is better not to marry, anyway, she has her brother by her side to take care of her, and she doesn't need other people, and she can see a doctor and save people, and she can earn a few dollars to support herself, there is no need to marry a man who is attached to him, or a man who treats himself badly.
"What? You are an outsider who also cares about the affairs of the Fan family brothers and sisters, this Fan family brothers and sisters are also cold, this month has caused me to run countless times, he has to agree today, he has to agree if he doesn't agree, the bride price will arrive in a while, Fan Cheng is far away, Fan Daosi must have to accept it, if you don't accept this matter today, it's hard to say! The matchmaker crossed her hands on her hips, spoke with her teeth and claws, and her tone was extremely bad.
"Forget it, that son of yours, who is over thirty years old, has died two wives in a row, has not married so far, and looks ugly, you are embarrassed to let the little girl of the Fan family marry him, the little girl of the Fan family should agree with me, my son-in-law is twenty and five, dignified, rich and powerful in the family, marrying must be a happy life." You don't agree with the other matchmaker, Yin Yang said weirdly, the voice was so sharp that it made people's eardrums hurt.
"Eh! Your family is not much better, there are already two little wives in the family, I added one, although I am lame, but people are also honest and diligent, it is much better than your family, my marriage is the best. The other matchmakers were still dissatisfied, and sarcastically mocked the two matchmakers in front of them.
Li Changfeng stood at the door to protect the gate, these four or five matchmakers could only stand in the yard and shout, but they were not allowed to enter the door, Li Changfeng was holding a knife in his hand, if anyone took a step forward, he would raise the knife to the other party viciously, causing these matchmakers to scold at the door but did not dare to enter the house.
Such a big movement naturally alarmed the people in the village, and the people in the village hurriedly came up to dissuade them, and even the village chief came, you must know that in such a remote place, the village chief is equivalent to a soil emperor.
"Why did you people from other villages come to my village to make trouble? Believe it or not, I'm going to kick you out right now! The village chief looked at it like this, it was indeed a little unusual, you can scold him loudly, he was followed by a young man in the village, who was dressed more neatly, and the good-looking one was the village chief's son Wang Xinshu, Wang Xinshu's name, or Fan Chengyuan gave it, the village chief felt that Fan Chengyuan was a cultural person, so he had to let Fan Chengyuan change a nice name for his son.
Although those matchmakers wanted to do good things for others after taking the money, their tone was arrogant, but they were not good at being arrogant and unreasonable on other people's territory, so as not to ask for hardship, so they all kept silent and eased their attitudes.
"Xiao Si, you are not too young, you see that there are so many people who come to ask your relatives in this month's time, why don't you just find a good family to marry, you can't always let your brother take care of you for a lifetime, your brother will marry a wife and have children in the future, when the time comes, how can you be good." The village chief persuaded him earnestly that he felt that there was no problem with what he said, and that there was no girl who would not marry.
As soon as the village chief said this, the village chief's son immediately gave him a look in the back, and he naturally understood what his son meant, so he said again, "If you don't want to marry into other villages and separate from your brother, it is better to find one in this village, there are many men in this village, and there are also diligent ones, you and your brother do not charge money for treating diseases and saving people in the village, and they are kind to every family, if you marry in the past, people will definitely not treat you badly, although my son is one year younger than you, but if you want, our family is naturally willing to receive you well." ”
The first half of what the village chief said made the young men behind him all have some expectations, after all, this little girl of the Fan family was born beautiful, and she is also dignified, if anyone marries back, after all, it is a matter of grace on the face, but when it comes to the second half of the sentence, they understand that the village chief is making up his mind for his son, and most of them will not find a chance.
"That's it?" Yesheng was listening to the song with relish, Fan Siyuan actually stopped, and had no intention of continuing.
"When I was younger, my dad only told me about this paragraph, so every time I talked about this paragraph, I couldn't help but stop." Fan Siyuan spread his hands and said that he was innocent, there was no way, after all, this was how his father hung his appetite again and again.
It wasn't until he wandered around with his father that he learned the art of treating the sick and saving people, and when he was seventeen years old, his father told him the rest of the story, and after his father told him the last paragraph, he died, leaving him alone in this world.
"Could it be that your father and your sister-in-law couldn't stay in this village, so they left the village and wandered around?" Yeshengge said that as soon as she heard such a situation, she couldn't stay in this village anymore, and the brother and sister must have to leave.
When the brother and sister decided to live in this village, they felt that the people in the village were hardworking and simple, but in this world, where is there a person who has been industrious and simple all his life, but when your interests are not linked to him, he is willing to be friendly to you, but once there is a relationship of interests, once there is a benefit, they will show their hideous faces.
"When I was young, I didn't understand why my father wandered around, it stands to reason that if you don't want to be found by others, you can change your name incognito, but your father is dead, and he doesn't want to change his name and surname, he said that he lives in this world, it's not his fault, he doesn't want to live in this world, if he doesn't have a sister, he doesn't even want to live." Fan Siyuan sighed, he didn't understand why his father was so negative in his life, but now that he has experienced some things, he seems to understand that it is indeed very hard to be alone.
"Dad said that he has been on the run all his life, and when he was only seven years old, he had to escape from home with his sister, so he could only hide in the shadows, looking at the house where he had lived for seven years, and his father and mother, who were buried in the fire, but he couldn't save them, because outside the house, for a group of officers and soldiers.
When he was only seven years old, he had to take his sister around begging, and in order not to be remembered by people with bad intentions, he took stinky mud every day, covered his face dirty, and made his sister stink.
They are like dogs, and in order to live, they have to grovel to people, just for a little bit of food. When Fan Siyuan said this, he recalled his father's sad appearance, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't worry about his father.
