Chapter 114: Struggle, Who Are You?
After getting out of the carriage and inquiring, it turned out that Shenjia Village had already received the news that there was chaos in the place north of the Lingjiang River, and that the villages in several neighboring towns in front had been ransacked by horse gangs and bandits, and they were on guard in advance.
Seeing the fortifications they were familiar with, and they were carrying a large piece of bluestone together, Shen Huazhuo couldn't help but be surprised.
"In the past, we also built it." Cloud Beard wiped his face and explained deliberately.
In recent years, there has been a famine every other year, they are the southern region, although there is a disaster, but it is much stronger than the north of the Lingjiang River, once the barbarians in the north have nothing to eat, they will habitually go all the way south to rob wantonly, although it does not hurt people's lives, but there are also many people who starve to death because of the loss of winter food.
After a few times, each village would organize the strong men of the village to fight against them.
Seeing that they got out of the carriage and saw that it was the people of their own village, the villagers opened the stone gate, but they were not willing to let the people from other villages who came back with them enter.
"They're with us." Someone shouted.
"No, Li Zheng said, now the people outside have become bad and are used to deceiving people, Yun Dalang, Yun Niangzi, don't be too kind, but you were deceived by them."
Shen Huazhuo frowned, the people here, except for a few people she can't see, she can see whether others deceive or not.
Especially the one named Liang Tian, last night Yun Damei was in the midst of life and death, he was willing to fight with his life, it can be seen that he is a sincere person, and his speed is very fast, saving Yun Damei is completely instinctive, and his eyes at that time can't deceive people.
"Several of them are patients who were cut by bandits, and these two are the young masters of the Fu family in the town, there are no bad people."
After a long period of persuasion, the villagers who guarded the gate said that it was for the sake of their family, so they reluctantly let them in.
More than a dozen victims who followed up saw it in their eyes, and their hearts were full of emotion.
Overnight, they faced several deaths and deaths in succession, and others were driving them away, but she was the only one willing to lend a helping hand to them.
Everyone said that they would not do anything sorry for Shenjia Village when they entered the village, and they would not embarrass their Yun family.
As soon as he returned home and settled down, Yun Chengzhong instructed Yun Xiaoshu to drive the ox cart to the neighboring town to pick up the Xu family home. He himself and Cloudbeard stayed behind to help build other fortifications.
Shenjia Village is good here.
There is only one path in and out of the village, and it is surrounded by mountains on the front and back, left and right.
It is almost impossible to cross the mountains and enter the Shen family village.
Needless to say, there are packs of wild wolves in the back mountains, and those who don't know the way will die in the belly of nine out of ten wolves, and one will starve himself to death if he gets lost.
Therefore, like Zhushan Town in front, they can be said to have natural dangers to defend.
There is also a person in the strategic position, and there is a tendency to open it.
Sending Yun Huzi and the others away, Shen Huazhuo was busy dealing with Fu Qingyuan's wounds, and Li Laowu came when he heard the news.
"Oh, you're back, how is my son in the county?"
They came back from Lingling County, and they must know Li Yuancai's situation very well.
"Fortunately, the city in Lingling County is high and thick, and there are officers and soldiers stationed there, they don't dare to go in, I heard that they have taken a long detour in the past." Shen Huazhuo comforted them.
To a certain extent, Li Laowu is doing okay, although he is stingy and selfish, he is also a clear person in his heart, and he can handle things well.
Looking at the fact that although he is concerned about the safety of his son, who is an official outside, he can still unite all the strong men in the village in a short period of time and garrison them, it can be seen that his ability is not bad.
Li Laowu stomped his feet on the spot: "Oh, I said that this is also the case, but my wife still doesn't believe it." ”
Generally, the bandits of the small group of disaster victims do not dare to enter and leave the big city gate of the county and county, and only dare to harass outside for a while, they are also afraid of the officers and soldiers, they are all for survival, there is no need to put their lives on the line, so more often they will find some small villages that are easy to break through, grab things and leave, and do not kill people much.
Because everyone knows that if you grab something, you can still say that you are forced, and if you kill people everywhere, it is easy to cause a village of people to unanimously turn out.
"The county master is fine, when we come back, let us report to you that we are safe." Shen Huazhuo simply sent him a word in vain to make him feel at ease.
"Okay, okay, that's good, the world is going to be chaotic, our village is fortunate to have those seeds you sold, otherwise, everyone would have to go around begging for food." Where will it be like now, every family can barely have a full stomach.
There are even some people who are diligent and have a lot of grain in the cellar and warehouse, so it is no problem to save a little money in the next winter or the next spring.
"Look at what Li Zheng said, it's too outward." Shen Huazhuo snorted.
But what she thought in her heart was that if she had known that the famine here would be so bad, she should have planted some seeds in the space, so that more people would have enough to eat.
Everyone is a farmer, and the consciousness of small farmers is troublesome, in fact, they are most afraid of accidents, but as long as they can be fed and clothed, who wants to do something rebellious?
"Okay, it's good for you to come back, and take care of your injuries." Li Laowu said hello casually and returned.
No one said it was okay, but when Shen Huazhuo said it, he felt that his whole body hurt badly.
"Sister-in-law......"
Xiaomei and Damei also looked at her worriedly.
I wanted to remind her before, but she had been busy taking care of Fu Qingyuan, and her wounds were just treated casually, and her face hurt badly, so she applied some medicine.
"Oh, I'm in pain all over my body, you take care of the second young master." Shen Huazhuo put the medicine bowl, she had to go to the room to clean up her wounds.
Fu Qingyuan didn't have any other problems, that is, he was lying there and couldn't move, so he had to pay attention from time to time.
"Hey, sister-in-law, I'll just come." Yun Xiaomei responded positively.
"Daughter-in-law ......"
The valley was dealt with, and Yun Huzi was worried about her wound and immediately rushed back.
"I know you won't take the drug."
He raised his hand to pinch her cheek, but it was so scarred that he couldn't do it.
"Daughter-in-law...... "I'm sorry, I hurt her again."
She had already changed the black cloak on her body, looking at the bamboo pattern on it, if she remembered correctly, it was Fu Qingyuan's.
He glanced at it and silently withdrew his gaze, he had to find a chance to return it.
"Is the stone gate strong enough? I've always felt that this year is a little unusual! Shen Huazhuo raised his head and worried about the safety of the village.
Although she didn't know what it was like in previous years, listening to their relaxed tone, it seemed that it was easy to resist.
"The stone gate is much stronger than ever, but there are already thieves coming south." The number of people is not large, but they can't stand their strength, and they are killed when they see someone when they hear that they are very cruel.
In previous years, there was a lack of food and clothing in Shenjia Village, and there was no grabbing the head, the bandits came to take a turn, looking at their high walls and thick doors, and it was really laborious to fight, and they often turned around and left, this year they are one of the few places that have not been completely affected by the disaster, and in the eyes of others, it is a piece of fragrant bread, so the people in the village have also consciously raised their vigilance.
"Sister-in-law, I'll clean your wounds." Yun Xiaomei was concerned about her sister-in-law's injury, and rushed in with hot water.
"I'll just do it." Yun Huzi shook his head and took the water, motioning for her to take care of Yun Damei and Fu Qingyuan.
"Little sister, wait, you look at your eldest sister more." She was going to die or live before, but this time she was like that, and she didn't know what she would do.
Yun Xiaomei said that she knew that it was convenient and ran away.
I took a look at Yun Damei first, and when I saw that she had fallen asleep, I hurriedly went to take care of Fu Qingyuan.
Second Young Master Fu was so seriously injured in order to save her, thinking about his unruly appearance on weekdays, but now he can only lie still and can't move, she feels inexplicably sad in her heart.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be like that.
What if his leg was broken?
She ran all the way, and her mind was haunted by these questions.
She had asked her sister-in-law about the broken leg before.
"No, it won't." The sister-in-law told her with certainty at the time.
But she wasn't sure, after all, her sister-in-law was very good at curing, but her eldest brother's lame leg had not been cured until now. Thinking that she couldn't help but feel sad, she wiped several handfuls of tears before entering the room with swollen eyes.
"Shhh The little lady was held in her arms by Yunbeard, coquettishly coquettish.
"I don't know now that it hurts ......" let him say something, it's never a worry-free, every time she has the ability to make herself scarred.
"People say that they forget the pain when the scar is good, but you forget the pain before the scar is good. If you hurt so badly, can you not hurt? ”
Shen Hua pouted, accusing him with his eyes of how he looked like a verbose little old man?
"Hurt ......"
Although he had tried his best to be gentle, the wound still hurt so much, especially when she was about to die of pain when she was holding him, and her heart was so weak in front of him that her heart was in shambles.
"I'll tap."
"It still hurts ......"
"It's already light, daughter-in-law." Yunbeard furrowed his brows, and a big Sichuan character wrinkled on his forehead.
"Hmm......" Shen Huazhuo's body trembled suddenly, and she lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the man lying on top of her in disbelief.
"You...... What are you doing? "She felt soft, wet, soft and numb.
"I'm cleaning my daughter-in-law's wounds." Cloudbeard's throat rolled, and his voice suddenly became mute.
"You...... You're taking advantage of me! She bit her lip and blamed him word by word.
Deathbeard actually licked her wounds with his tongue.
"I heard Doctor Wang in the town say that saliva is the best medicine for cleansing, and if your tongue is soft, you won't hurt, you see, you don't call it painful." She only said it.
Shen Hua was stunned, not to mention that his tongue was really softer than his palm.
After the wound was cleaned up, Shen Huazhuo was already so weak that he collapsed in his arms, his eyes were affectionate, his eyebrows were like silk, and his pink lips were slightly open, looking at the silent invitation in the eyes of the man.
He rinsed his mouth with warm salt water, barely suppressed the dryness and heat in his lower abdomen, and pursed his mouth.
Obviously they were just cleaning the wounds, but the two of them seemed to have engaged in an endless musk war, and they were both so tired that they were out of breath and couldn't help themselves.
For Shen Huazhuo, it was just a sweet enjoyment, and it was Yun Huzi's kindness to her who dug out her heart and liver.
And for Yun Huzi, it is not only the ultimate sweetness, but also the ultimate torture.
He has endured the mania in his heart, put medicine on the little lady in his arms, and settled her to lie down, only then did he blush, rushed to the shower room, and "plopped" was a bucket of cold water.
In the bitter cold winter, only the icy cold water can barely drive away the heat and impulses of the body.
When she entered the room again, the little lady had fallen asleep peacefully wrapped in a thick quilt.
The scars on her face are criss-crossed, fortunately, they are all shallow, and her skin can get better if she is well nourished, otherwise, she is so distressed by people who love beauty so much!
Stroking her fingers, soft and warm, round nails trimmed just right, shining in the lamp.
It's just that there are a few scars on the knuckles of her fingers, and everything silently shows the pain she has suffered.
Is it right or wrong for him to tolerate this, but let the people he loves closest and loved the most be treated like this?
He couldn't help but ask himself.
His eyes swept to the black cloak on the coat rack again, he knew that Fu Qingyuan was deliberate, he could obviously express his concern in many ways, but he took advantage of his absence to drape the cloak with his body temperature on her body.
This is a provocation and a warning.
There was a knock on the door, and Fu Qingyuan's warm and clear voice outside the door sounded. "I'll take my cloak." ”
The door opened and followed Yun Huzi's gaze, Fu Qingyuan seemed to guess what he was thinking, his eyebrows were clear, his eyes were burning, waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.
"Although you have ill intentions towards my daughter-in-law, I still want to thank you."
Thank him for taking care of her while he's away!
It's his heart as a man, and it's his self-confidence at the same time.
His subtext is that no matter how Fu Qingyuan treats her well, he always firmly believes that his little lady is the only one in her heart.
Fu Qingyuan shrugged, this matter is not certain, but at this time he has something more to know, his eyes pierced into his black eyes, tentatively guessed, and then suddenly spoke: "Who are you?" ”
