Chapter 9

Wang Quancai left. He didn't go peacefully.

Although Wang Zhong didn't know traditional Chinese medicine, he could simply check the body. He could see that Wang Quancai was not killed at the first time.

When the house collapsed, it only hit his legs, and finally he gradually lost too much blood and died.

Besides them, other people in the village are also having a hard time. All the good fields that are about to harvest have been soaked in water for too long, resulting in crop necrosis and no harvest.

In addition, many families' houses have collapsed, their properties have been lost, countless deaths and injuries have been caused, and more and more people have been displaced.

As for the imperial court, it was fatuous and incompetent. The food originally distributed from the disaster relief was embezzled by officials at various levels. In the end, the victims did not get any relief.

After the rainy season, Wang Chong and his mother built a straw mat for Wang Quancai and simply buried it in the back hill of their home.

It's not that Wang Zhong doesn't want to buy a better coffin, but the family's possessions are gone, leaving only two people and an old sheep that can only be bred. They can't afford to buy a coffin.

Wang Zhong never thought that his originally happy family would become like this after the disaster.

Fortunately, he has the thinking of modern people. As long as he has hands and feet, he believes he can stand up again.

People in the village didn't eat, and there were more and more people sneaking around. At night, Wang Chong and his mother lived in a sheep shed, and in the middle of the night, they heard the old sheep barking.

"Baa Baa......"

Because the old sheep has lived for a long time and has a smart brain, its voice is very urgent.

Wang Chong turned over and stood up. Without saying a word, he picked up the axe he had hidden in the haystack.

"Who!"

In the dark, Wang Zhong saw two figures pulling the old sheep to leave.

"Damn it!"

Without saying anything, Wang Chong hacked the two men. After all, they were guilty of being thieves and turned around and ran away directly.

"Er Ping, what's the matter?" Chen Yu came out trembling.

"It's okay, mom. There are two thieves trying to steal our sheep."

"The Lord won't give us a living. We're all like this. There are thieves thinking of us, kekekeke..."

Chen Yu burst into tears and coughed violently.

These days, she doesn't sleep well, and she's getting old, and her health is getting worse and worse.

Next time, Wang Chong asked Chen Yu to clean up the ruins at home, pick up some useful things, and look at Lao Yang by the way.

As for him, he didn't farm any more, because he didn't have money to buy seeds at all. Besides, he didn't have time to wait for the harvest now. He had to find a way to get money and food.

So he took an axe and shovel and resolutely entered the mountain.

These days, the mountain is still dominated by animals. If you enter the deep mountain, it is easy to encounter beasts. Therefore, Wang Chong dare not enter the mountain too deep.

After climbing several trees and taking out a few bird eggs, Wang Chong found a small hole and was unexpectedly caught by him in a nest of three bamboo rats.

After he finished with an axe, he picked some wild fruits and mushrooms, and then went home.

When I got home, I saw several villagers gathered at the door of my house.

"Er Ping's mother, our family is really out of money, so please be kind and let your old sheep breed our ewes. There are only three of our sixteen sheep left."

The old Huang family led three ewes, and his family was also very miserable. Originally, he was a blacksmith, but this time the house collapsed and one of his sons was killed, but people always have to live. After cleaning up, they can start a new life.

Originally, they had to charge two Wen for breeding once. This time, they had to breed three ewes for at least six Wen.

But Lao Huang said that his family really had no money.

Chen Yu didn't know what to do at this time. Fortunately, Wang Chong came back.

"Uncle Huang." Wang Chong shouted, "it's all right without money. Give me something to eat."

"This..."

Lao Huang is very embarrassed. At this time, who has food? Even if there is, who is willing to take it out? It's not what it used to be.

"Well, you can help me make some iron pipes in the future, and you can come to breed at any time." Wang Zhong thought and said.

"That's OK." Lao Huang nodded without thinking about it. He was originally a blacksmith, and there was no problem making oneortwo ironware.

After finishing it, Wang Zhong brought some wild fruits picked from the mountain to Chen Yu to eat, and then boiled a pot of water and put a pot of picked mushrooms under it.

While cooking, Wang Zhong quickly skinned three bamboo rats and was preparing to bake them. He saw seven or eight lanterns in the distance.

"Hey, it seems that someone came to our house." Chen Yu has a wonderful way.

Wang Zhong also saw the lanterns. When these people came near, he found that the first one was actually a beautiful woman, a little familiar.

The woman's face was a little cold. After glancing at the bamboo mouse in Wang Chong's hand, she covered her mouth and said, "you actually eat such disgusting things as mice."

"Girl, now there is a famine outside, and we can't help it." Chen Yu patted her chest and coughed back.

"You are... Sunxiuxiu."

Wang Zhong somewhat recognized the girl who used to be an ancient spirit and asked him to learn from cock crowing and pig crowing.

"It's me." Sunxiuxiu frowned, "Father knows you're not doing well, let me come and pick you up."

Chen Yu is a little happy in her heart, but she is also a reasonable person. Their family is so poor now, and I'm afraid they will be looked down upon in the past. It doesn't matter to her, but what about Wang Zhong?

"Please prepare quickly. My father is not in good health. He wants to see you as soon as possible." Sun XiuXiu said plainly.

"I see." Wang nodded emphatically.

Originally, his plan was to use the iron pipes made by Uncle Huang to make elementary muskets to hunt, and then sell the fur and meat to the county to earn money. When he was 18 years old, he would bring the accumulated money to the sun family to propose marriage.

But since he came so early, there is no need for him to be pretentious.

Chen Yu went to the sheep shed to pack up and salute. Sun XiuXiu said to Wang Chong, "come with me. I have something to tell you."

"Yes."

After sun XiuXiu came to the field, sun XiuXiu turned her back to him and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years. You still don't like to laugh like you were a child."

"What do you want to say?"

"My father was seriously ill, and he was no longer able." Sunxiuxiu looked back: "he wanted to see us get married as soon as possible before he died, which fulfilled his wish."

"Yes."

Wang Chongyan is concise and comprehensive. There is no escape from disaster after all. Although marriage came earlier, there is no way. Just get married.
