"What are you doing?"

Chen Jing looked at the five women in front of him with an inexplicable expression.

"Concubine Su Xiaoyong, thank you for saving me."

"Concubine Qiu Feifei, thank you for saving me."

"Concubine Zheng Shishi, thank you for saving me."

"Concubine Lin Xiaoxi, thank you for saving me."

"Concubine Wu Sisi, thank you for saving me."

The five girls raised their heads in unison, their eyes full of tears.

In the Wei state, due to the re-establishment of the household tax and the provisions of forced marriage, men preferred women with strong physiques and chose them as wives to increase the labor force in the family.

These five women are all delicate and frail, and because of this, they are all disliked again and again, and no one chooses them.

Just as they were sent into the Qinglou, it was Chen Jing who appeared to save them and take them all home.

They didn't know what the dealers said before, but they already had a rough guess in their hearts.

And it has come to this point, Chen Jing didn't even say a word about divorce from his wife.

In this era when a woman's life is like an ant, being able to get Chen Jing's care is enough to make people grateful.

"What is this for? Don't hurry up and put on all your clothes. ”

Their snow-white bodies came straight into his eyes, and Chen Jing only felt a wave of anger in his heart rushing to his head, and hurriedly walked over and helped them up.

"Xianggong, the concubine has nothing to repay, fortunately the concubine still maintains her innocence, I beg you, take the concubine, and then give it up, so that the sisters can live."

Su Xiaoyong raised his head sharply and looked at Chen Jing, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"What?"

The corners of Chen Jing's eyes twitched fiercely, and his eyes were full of shock when he looked at Su Xiaoyong.

"Xianggong, don't hesitate, this is the life of the concubine, if you hadn't married me, the concubine would have been in the Qinglou for a long time, and she would have been a prostitute who laughed every day."

Su Xiaoyong burst into tears, looking in pain.

"Xianggong, Wu Sisi's life was also saved by you, it is a fluke to be able to live until now, this time let us serve you well, let us be your real wife once." Wu Sisi hurriedly spoke.

"Xianggong, the five of us can't repay it, this is the only thing we can do for Xianggong."

"After this night, Xianggong will choose two of the five of us to give up and give the rest a chance to live."

Qiu Feifei, Zheng Shishi, and Lin Xiaoxi said in unison.

"Get up, get up, there are still eight days, whether we can afford it or not, it is more important to live first, even if it is death, we must not be starved to death."

Chen Jing dressed the five of them, pondered for a moment, and said, "How much silver is there in the family now?" ”

The five women looked at each other, their eyes full of sadness.

"Xianggong, there is nothing left at home, and even the food has been robbed."

When Chen Jing heard this, his heart sank again.

Not to mention that it is necessary to make up enough household taxes in eight days, and at the moment it is a problem to have food and clothing for six people.

"Let's all go and rest."

"I'll go out and see if I can dig up some wild vegetables to eat."

Chen Jing thought for a moment, but let the five women return to their rooms, and then left the house.

Alone outside, Chen Jing couldn't help but worry.

The Chen family's fields are not much, and coupled with the drought this year, the already small amount of grain has already been eaten up.

It will take at least two or three months for the newly planted crops to mature, and the problem cannot be solved at all.

The original owner of this body knows some medical skills, but because of the crossing, the memory of this body is also vague.

Chen Jing originally thought that for his father's sake, the neighbors would always be able to borrow something to eat.

But now, everyone's taxes have just ended, and even those landlords have no extra grain.

After walking out of Chenjiazhuang, Chen Jing walked towards the back mountain not far away.

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Jing found a group of fourteen or fifteen-year-old children running around a rabbit.

"Brother Chen, what kind of wind blew you here?"

"I married five daughters-in-law at one time, do you still have the strength to chase rabbits?"

"I guess I can't even walk now."

When this group of teenagers saw Chen Jing, they joked.

Chen Jing did not respond, nor did he take their words to heart.

He looked at the rabbit and his heart moved.

There's always something to eat in the mountains.

There are many hunters on Zhuangzi, but because of the lack of bows and arrows, whether they can be caught or not depends on luck.

But now, these children set a trap and lay in ambush for a long time, but they were still run away by the rabbit.

"Hey, that's a bad luck."

"Another wasted effort."

Seeing that the rabbit had fled, the faces of the teenagers changed suddenly, and they only felt a little discouraged.

The leader is a young man named Huang Ergou, and Huang's status in Chenjiazhuang is high.

In Zhuangzi, Huang Ergou has a short temper, and most of the children are afraid of him, and they all obey his commands.

"Ah, it's wild vegetables again, when can I stop eating wild vegetables?"

Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, and while muttering, they squatted down to look for it.

The wild herbs here are also limited, and if you want to pick enough wild herbs, you have to be fast.

If it's slow, maybe it'll be gone.

Chen Jing didn't say a word, followed them, and watched their every move with great interest.

Fortunately, the plants here are the same as those I was familiar with in my previous life.

The types of wild vegetables are nothing more than purslane, ground vegetables, and daylily.

But the number is very small.

"Ergou, look, there are a lot of wild mushrooms there, you can eat them."

Soon, Chen Jing sensed that something was wrong.

What surprised him was that when these people picked wild vegetables, they all tacitly avoided any mushrooms......

Who knows, as soon as these words came out, several children burst out laughing.

"Brother Chen, aren't you Dr. Chen's son? Didn't he tell you that this mushroom is highly poisonous? Eating that thing is going to kill you! ”

"Poisonous? Killed? ”

Hearing this, Chen Jing's brows immediately furrowed.

He is a countryman in modern times, so he naturally can't mistake these mushrooms, these are very common wild mushrooms, not to mention that eating them will kill people.

"Are all mushrooms poisonous?" Chen Jing asked again.

"If you want to die, you can try, we won't accompany you." Huang Ergou said very boredly, leaning over and continuing to rummage through wild vegetables.

Faced with Chen Jing's brainless problem, Ergou felt that he had no time to deal with it, and if he said more, it was estimated that he would be starved to death today.

"It's true that the colorful mushrooms are poison mushrooms, but aren't they very common wild mushrooms?"

"Could it be that in this place, all mushrooms are highly poisonous?"

"Or maybe they don't understand that there's anything edible in it?"

Chen Jing looked at the dense wild mushrooms in the forest, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
