Chapter 411: Still Breathing
"Knife hero, knife hero." Qianmo shouted behind Dao Wufeng, he was leading an injured sika deer, wearing a rain hat made of young branches on his head, looking very funny, "You slow down, wait a little one." ”
Carrying a bow and arrows on his back and wearing the same rainproof hat, but because the skill of weaving hats is many times better than that of Qianmo, Dao Wufeng, who looks quite chivalrous, looked back at Qianmo, "Hurry up, it's raining heavily, and you will be out of the forest after a few steps." ”
"It's coming, it's coming, God, if it rains, it will rain, but fortunately, we will return with a full load." Qianmo was stupidly happy, and pulled the sika deer behind him, "Hehe, two deer and one wild goat, enough for us to roast." ”
Dao Wufeng shook his head, Lei Tianze, this little scholar, is really full of only food!
Walking out of the rainforest, the two of them saw a figure curled up by the rocks.
"What's going on?" Qianmo stood beside Dao Wufeng, looking at the woman with her cloak and embarrassment.
Dao Wufeng was silent, walked over and bent over and touched her neck, looked at the injuries on her body again, and frowned, "Fainted, Qianmo, do you recognize this woman?" ”
Qianmo stepped forward, brushed away the wet hair on Widow Zheng's face, gasped, and carefully identified, "This is the people in the village, how can they be beaten like this!" The wound on her forehead is not light...... Knife hero, what to do? ”
Dao Wufeng looked at no one on the left and right, and reached out to pick up Widow Zheng, "Go back to the village first, it's important to save people, do you know where her home is?" ”
"I know," Qianmo said, gesturing to the village down the hillside, "it's the black gate with a doorway in the southernmost row." ”
Dao Wufeng nodded, and walked down the mountain quickly with Widow Zheng in his arms. Light ink also tightened the sika deer to follow.
Widow Zheng, who was being held, woke up, barely opened her eyes, and saw the beard and tall nose bridge of the person holding her. Feeling his body temperature through him, his lips trembled, and he reached out and grabbed the clothes on Dao Wufeng's chest weakly.
Seeing that the person in his arms was awake, Dao Wufeng looked down and raised his arm up so that her face could hide under his rain hat and speed up his steps.
Widow Zheng's fingers were straining. opened his mouth but closed it, and put it into Dao Wufeng's arms again, and a string of tears welled up in his eyes.
Although it was downhill in the rain. But Dao Wufeng's footsteps were fast and steady, and he soon arrived at the gate of the Wang family, bent down to let go of Widow Zheng, and supported her to stand firm with one hand. Only then did he reach out and knock the rusty knocker.
Widow Zheng's body trembled a few times with the knock on the door. In the end, he hung his head weakly and closed his eyes, and involuntarily leaned against Dao Wufeng.
The door was opened, revealing the face of a man, he looked at the appearance of Dao Wufeng, and then looked at the widow Zheng beside him, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he turned around and shouted vigorously, "Mother." Mother, come on! ”
"What the hell is called. I've never seen such a heavy rain! How fast can you have old arms and legs. Wang Hu, who had changed into clean clothes, was supported by his second daughter-in-law, Yu, holding an umbrella, and his eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Jia.
Seeing that the dead Widow Zheng was back, Wang Hu was very frightened, but she steadied her mind and stared at Widow Zheng and Dao Wufeng, "Who are you, why are you knocking on the door?" ”
Qianmo, who caught up, shook off the bag behind him and pulled the deer to walk a few steps, "Old woman, the two of us came out of the mountain hunting and saw your family fainting by the stone on the hillside, you quickly help someone in and call Langzhong, she is not lightly injured!" ”
Wang Hu looked at Widow Zheng with an indifferent expression, "Family? Hmph, my old Wang family doesn't have this person! ”
Dao Wufeng frowned and looked at Wang Hu. Wang Hu was looked at by him like this, and suddenly lost his arrogance, and he didn't dare to speak.
Because Xiao Jia has a lot of contacts with Jia, he recognized the blade, and hurriedly whispered, "Mother, this is the younger brother of Su Fuzi in the north of our village, since they have sent their younger siblings back, let the younger siblings come in first." ”
Wang Hu was silent, and Xiao Jia hurriedly gave Wang Deshou and his family a look. The honest Wang Deshou looked at his mother, and then looked at the blade, and did not speak or move.
Xiao Jia had no choice but to step forward and reach out to support Widow Zheng, "I'm sorry for you." ”
Dao Wufeng was silent, handed Widow Zheng to Xiao Jia's family, turned around and left with Qianmo. Widow Zheng raised her head slightly, looked at his back, closed her eyes in despair, and fainted again.
Lan Yi ran home with Wen Xuan, let him play on the kang, and took the hat to lock the door and went to the back hillside to lead the livestock.
She looked at the peony that had been tied up in the boundless rain and mist, and secretly rejoiced. The rain fell, and I don't know when it will stop, but fortunately, the sunny days of these days have made everyone busy planting winter wheat, and the grain is barely dried and harvested into the warehouse. She also packed up the peonies in the east and north of the village, and the cabbage and radish on the hillside were also taken back to the house, and only a piece of hemp yam vine was left in the slope and still wrapped around the shelf. This hemp yam was also grown from the root of the hemp yam that Lan Yi bought from Meixian.
The agriculture of the Great Zhou is developed, but the varieties of crops are still much less than in modern times, and the sweet potatoes that Lan Yi loves to eat are not available here, otherwise autumn should be the season to receive sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are barren and easy to manage, and they are high-yielding crops, Lan Yi remembers growing sweet potatoes in the dry land when she was a child, and in the autumn her father took them to the field to dig sweet potatoes, she was always amazed by the trick of digging out of the soil pieces of large sweet potatoes.
Lan Yi remembered that sweet potatoes were only introduced from Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty, and the sesame official in the appearance of a clown in the Peking Opera "Seven Sesame Officials" waved his winged black gauze hat and read the sentence "Being an official is not for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes" is known to everyone in modern times, and it can also be seen that the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the Ming Dynasty should have been promoted and is a popular crop.
"Nanyang...... I don't know if they came back from the South Seas. ”
Wang Linshan's cousin Hua Zhanzhou took his two cousins, Hua Changye and Hua Changhe, to Nanyang with the merchant ship, and it was the end of the first month, and now it is early September, and it is said that it is time to return. Due to the farce tossed by the Hua family after the death of Wang Linshan's grandmother, Second Uncle Wang has broken off his relationship with the Hua family, and since then he has not been in contact with each other, and now Lan Yi has also remarried, and he has cut off contact with this family.
"No news is the best news." Lan Yi sighed, quickly led the donkey and Xiaobai Xiaohuo who were already wet, and followed the goat family running in front to rush back, this group of guys has been going back and forth between the hillside and home many times, and they are extremely familiar with the way home.
When Lan Yi returned to the door, she happened to meet Dao Wufeng and Qianmo returning, looking at their dress, Lan Yi couldn't help but be happy, "Dao Hero, Qianmo, your hat looks like it is very protective from the rain!" (To be continued.) )
