Chapter 1 Wangjia Village

Next Chapter

There are very few outsiders in Wangjia Village, Cheng'an Town.

Cheng'an Town is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, basically every household lives by planting farmland for fishing and hunting in the mountains, the town has always been very calm, lively but not chaotic. Only two or three little ruffians made trouble in the town, and they were arrested by the government and imprisoned for a few days, and they were properly subdued.

Wangjia Village is the innermost village in Cheng'an Town, more than ten years ago when the road was not repaired, Wangjia Village was an isolated place, and later the road was repaired, the people of Wangjia Village will gradually come out to trade around, and the life of the villagers is getting better and better.

On this day, the village was very noisy, and everyone, men, women, and children, gathered around to discuss, the new twin sons and his sister.

Shuang'er is different from ordinary men, and is related to women, with a man's body but can give birth to children like a woman, but because the fertility is not strong, it is not as good as a woman.

Generally, Shuang'er who has not left the cabinet will never leave the house, unless there is a natural or man-made disaster.

The villagers all discussed softly: although he left the country three years ago and encountered a great disaster, and several countries came to attack, the first prince and his husband repelled countless enemy troops in front of the palace, and it was not a deceptive trick to win a great victory. In the past three years, the hard-hit place has long since regained its peace and tranquility, and I have not heard of any natural disasters in any place, so where did these two children come from? What is so?

No one can figure it out, and no one knows whether it is a blessing or a curse.

The controversial twin sons Cheng Qing were busy in their new home, not knowing that Wangjia Village had fallen out because of his arrival.

Cheng Qing's new home is at the entrance of the village, the first room in the entire village.

"Childe, the room has been cleaned up, you can invite the old lady in." A dignified-looking woman said to the man who was sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard and was still familiar with his new home.

This man is the twin children of the village, Cheng Qing. And the sister of Cheng Qing in the rumors is actually Cheng Qing's personal maid Xiaoyun.

"Okay, you clean the lobby first, and I'll go to the offering room first to make offerings to my mother's spirit card."

"Yes."

Cheng Qing held his mother's spirit card, walked carefully on the bluestone slab road, walked to the middle of the backyard room, put the spirit card in his hand on the offering table in the house, he wiped the spirit card with his clothes, and knelt down: "Mother, this is our family in the future, you live here." The child knows that the mother is happy and pure, although this place is not as quiet as the temple, but it is not a place of trouble... I've been running around with you for so long, and I can be regarded as settling down, and I don't live up to my mother's expectations..."

After setting up the house, Cheng Qing walked back to the lobby, wanting to help Xiaoyun do something.

“… Childe, if you're tired, just rest for a while, those working Xiaoyun can do it. Since there are only two people living here now, unlike in the town where there are still people taking care of the house, Cheng Qing, who originally only had to sit, had to roll up his sleeves and work.

Cheng Qing put the chair next to him and said with a smile: "How can it be so expensive?" I've only moved a few chairs, is this looking down on your son-in-law's strength? As he spoke, he removed a chair that was resting on the table and set it aside. However, Cheng Qing, who has never worked, is indeed a little bad, he rubbed his waist and said to Xiaoyun: "You don't need to do it all today, we have time, first tidy up the kitchen lobby and sleeping room, and it's not too late to do the rest tomorrow." ”

"Huh." Xiaoyun answered, and began to work in a muffled voice.

Cheng Qing finished moving the last chair, then walked out of the lobby and stood in his yard and looked around. This house is really good, although it is not big, but the layout is very exquisite, if the front yard and the back yard are well cared for, it must also be a view.

He took a deep breath, and although he didn't smell anything other than the smell of earth, it also made Cheng Qing relax.

After a lot of hardships, he escaped from the man-eating devil place in the capital, lived in an inn in Cheng'an Town for two years, and finally had a house of his own, but he was haunted by nightmares every night, and had no choice but to ask a Taoist priest to do it.

After the Taoist priest came to the house, he didn't do anything, but said something that Cheng Qing felt was very reasonable.

He said: "Born from the heart, as the saying goes, there are dreams every day, I guess that the son is afraid that he has seen too much of the decoration of this house and remembered all kinds of the past, and the restlessness caused by resentment is not as good as changing the decoration to be practical." ”

It is better to change the decoration and layout of the entire house than to live in another house, Cheng Qing tried in vain to find a paradise but found that he could not find it, and the only peaceful place he found was this Wangjia Village.

Cheng Qing knew very well that if he was in that noisy place, he would definitely not be at peace, in this case, he might as well spend the rest of his life in this remote mountain village, which is naturally a good thing.

"What does Childe think?" Xiao Yun held the basin of dirty water, poured the water into the soil of the few small trees at home that he didn't know how long it would grow, and said to Cheng Qing, who was swaying in the yard.

Cheng Qing smiled: "I'm thinking about our days in the future." Xiaoyun, I'll get here today, after the afternoon, you go to the town to buy more eggs, cook them and send them door to door with me, since we want to settle down here, the relationship between neighbors must be kind, otherwise people will say that we don't understand the rules, so the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Eh, Xiaoyun knows, I'll go out after I wipe down the tables and chairs in the lobby."

"By the way, buy another fish and come back, I'm in a good mood today and want to drink fish soup."

"Okay, Childe wait, Xiaoyun will make you something to eat in the evening."

Cheng Qing patted the dust on his body with satisfaction, turned around the yard again, felt bored, and drilled into the kitchen, the kitchen had not yet been swept, as soon as Cheng Qing arrived at the kitchen entrance, he felt that the dust was going to drown him, he turned around very indifferently and went to rest in the cleaned house.

At lunch, Xiaoyun didn't have a big fanfare, but just warmed up a few dough cakes brought all the way from the town and sent them to Cheng Qing. Cheng Qing loves to eat these gadgets very much, and he won't pay much attention to him when he encounters food, so when he heard that Cheng Qing was going to drink fish soup, Xiaoyun didn't know how happy he was.

After a few dough cakes, Cheng Qing was full, spring sleepiness hit, Cheng Qing wiped his mouth clean and lay on the bed and fell asleep, and he didn't even answer when Xiaoyun went out and knocked on the door.

Xiaoyun cleaned up the lobby, knocked on Cheng Qing's door, and told Cheng Qing that he was going to the town, and if there was anything else he needed to bring, he couldn't get a response from Cheng Qing, Xiaoyun thought that he should be tired and fell asleep, so he stopped making noise with him, took the two remaining small cakes, and went to the village entrance to take an ox cart to the town.

The two large parts of the family's silver are still in Cheng Qing's hands, but in order to let Xiaoyun buy things or live needs, Cheng Qing gave Xiaoyun a pile of broken silver. Cheng Qing doesn't understand the preciousness of silver taels, but Xiaoyun is a good master of things, and broken silver can be used for a long time, so most of the time Xiaoyun doesn't ask Cheng Qing for silver taels.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Xiaoyun asked the driver who led the ox cart, "How much does it cost to go to town?" ”

The coachman is from the village, and he is really good, so he asked, "Are you the only one?" ”

"Yes."

"That's five copper plates."

Xiaoyun heard that the price was also suitable, so he got into the car happily.

After being bored along the way, the coachman smiled and accosted: "You are new to the village?" ”

"Well, I just moved in this morning."

"This morning?" The coachman thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Are you the sister of the new Shuang'er family?" ”

Xiaoyun was puzzled: "How do you know?" Are you also from the village? ”

"Yes, my family is in the north of the village, and I will start farming in two days, so I can make some money to buy some seeds by running around the town a few days in my free time." The coachman answered Xiaoyun's question with a smile: "Now every household in the village is talking about your family's affairs, and it's not that everyone chews their tongues, but they are curious, how can a pair of children reach the point where they have to find their own land to live..."

"What's that?" Xiaoyun doesn't like others to say bad things about their son-in-law: "My son-in-law is happy, who said that Shuang'er can't top the family?" Do you know that Feng Gongzi is not a couple, but he can also save the country from fire and water, and as a man, you are not inferior to him? ”

After listening to Xiaoyun's words, the coachman felt that Xiaoyun was articulate while ashamed, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "I know what you said, but which is the same person as your son-in-law?" ”

"What's the difference? How can you find two people who are exactly the same in a big country? My son-in-law is doing things well, but the difference in identity, then my son-in-law is also a good person and a superior person, why should he be talked about? ”

"It's not that I'm talking nonsense, it's just curiosity..."The coachman was frightened by Xiaoyun's momentum, and hurriedly explained: "There are people in the village, they always have to say something, as for whether to listen or not, that's your family's business..."

Xiaoyun glanced at the coachman and asked, "Then what did you say about my son-in-law?" ”

"I didn't say it. My mother taught me since I was a child, don't learn to talk too much, I just listened to see you, curious to ask, I haven't been to school for a few years, I don't understand what you say, I can understand your meaning of maintenance. ”

"Your mother is right." Xiaoyun chuckled: "Okay, I'm just angry, since you didn't say that I didn't target you, let's hurry up, I won't talk to you much." ”

"......" The coachman endured for a while, but still couldn't help it: "I still have a question to ask." ”

"You say."

"That Shuang'er is obviously your son-in-law, why is it your brother who came out?"

"Although I'm just a maid, my son-in-law said that now the two of us are dependent on each other, so if you treat me as a maid and wronged me, say that I am his sister. He had already seen me as a sister, but I hadn't changed my name. ”
