Knowing that the village chief likes to drink tea, the two siblings gave him a few more bags of chrysanthemum tea. The village chief did not refuse, so he took it and left, saying that he would get the red deed back in a few days.
Not to mention the village chief, everyone in the family, from Wang to Xiao Anzi, likes to drink chrysanthemum tea, which has a sweet taste without adding sugar. One sip can make you feel comfortable for half a day.
"Sister, we finally have our own land and we really need to build a house." After the village chief left, Xiao Han was excited and couldn't believe that all this was true.
Just now, he had been forcing himself to be calm, trying hard to suppress his excitement. He only shows his emotions in front of his sister.
"Yes, we are going to build a big house, a house that is completely our own." Xiao Ming said, after living here for more than three years, we are finally going to build our own house and officially settle down here. According to the vague memory of the original owner, when the eldest brother and sister-in-law were alive, they lived in many places without a fixed residence and moved frequently. This place should be the place where they lived the longest.
"It's just going to delay your studies again." Xiao Ming regretted that Xiao Han loved reading and the books at home were almost worn out. I originally planned to send him to study in the town, but he was delayed again and again.
"It's okay. Let's put the house up first so that I can study with peace of mind." Xiao Han said that although he felt it was a pity, repairing the house was the most important thing now.
"Let's go see Yu'er and Maomao." Xiao Ming said. Xiao Yu has been with Maomao all day today and couldn't bear to leave even half a step.
It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road feel like they are dying.
On the day of Qingming Festival, it started to drizzle in the sky. There was an ancestral hall in Liujia Village. The village chief and clan leader Liu Jisheng led the men surnamed Liu in the village to worship. Afterwards, each family goes to the graves of their relatives to pay homage.
Xiao Ming, three people, one dog, and the whole family went out in the rain to pay homage to his elder brother and sister-in-law. At the foot of the overgrown green hill, there was only one earthen grave, standing alone.
After Xiao Ming slowly got to know her over the past few months, she finally learned that the dynasty she lived in was the Dayue Dynasty. Today's emperor's surname was Shen. History changed direction in the Dayue Dynasty. In the late Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian dynasty was tyrannical and the court was corrupt. The people were in dire straits, which led the people to rise up against the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Under the leadership of several outstanding figures, after ten years of hard work, the Mongols were finally driven out of the Central Plains.
But history changed direction here. In the end, it was not Zhu Yuanzhang who ascended the throne, but Shen Wansan, the first Shang in ancient times. Shen Wansan changed his dynasty to Yue and was called Emperor Yue Taizu. Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others became the founding heroes.
The Ming Dynasty is gone, the Yongle Ceremony is gone, and there is nothing about Zhu Di.
During the twenty years that Yue Taizu was in power, he abolished the old system, encouraged farmers and businessmen, and promoted talents. Under his rule, the economy of the Dayue Dynasty reached an unprecedented height. The Dayue Dynasty has been inherited for more than 300 years now. .
A series of behaviors of Yue Taizu made Xiao Ming once doubt whether he had traveled through time.
Looking at the lonely earthen grave in front of my eyes, it is the resting place of my elder brother and sister-in-law. The grave was covered with weeds, and Xiao Han and Xiao Yu were cleaning it up.
Xiao Ming stood in front of the grave and secretly swore, "Brother and sister-in-law, although I don't know you, even though it was unintentional, I took over her body and became Xiao Ming. I will inherit her will and take good care of Xiao Han and Yu'er. Educate them to become talents and give them a better life, please rest assured; and Xiao Ming, I wish you a long and healthy life, happiness and peace in the new world."
Xiao Han and Xiao Yu knelt in front of the grave to kowtow to their eldest brother and sister-in-law, and told their deceased brothers and sisters-in-law what happened in these days: "Brother and sister-in-law, my sister is now good at medicine. We also found ginseng on the mountain and sold it for money. We also bought One hundred and forty acres of wasteland, a house will be built soon, we will live well, please don't worry."
Finally, the group kowtowed and went home. Along the way, Xiao Yu and Maomao ran happily in front. Under the care of the three people, Maomao recovered and became active. After what happened last time, Xiao Yu liked it more Maomao, we are together wherever we go.
"Brother, do you know how the eldest brother and sister-in-law died?" Xiao Ming asked. The death of the eldest brother and sister-in-law has always been a mystery, and Xiao Ming didn't remember it clearly.
"I don't know." He only remembered that they went out happily, only to be carried back the next day. Mr. Wang, who was returning from work, accidentally discovered the two people in the farmland not far from the village. They were covered in blood and unconscious. They thought they looked familiar, so they ran back and asked Xiao Han to identify them.
"When the villagers helped carry me home, my eldest brother had already gone. My sister-in-law was still alive, but she was injured too badly and couldn't speak. She held me tightly and refused to call a doctor, and she followed me within two days." Xiao Han's face was filled with tears and she told everything she knew.
"Who hurt them? Have the murderers been caught?" Xiao Ming asked in surprise.
"No, my sister-in-law won't let me report to the government." Xiao Han's eyes were red, thinking that the sister-in-law kept pulling him and shaking his head to prevent him from reporting to the government. His eyes were full of despair and fear, and he felt sad in his heart.
"It has only been two years since we moved to the village. We have been living in seclusion and never go to the town. My eldest brother and sister-in-law have a good temper and are kind to everyone. I just don't know who I have offended." Xiao Han said.
In Xiao Ming's memory, the last vague words her sister-in-law said before she died were to tell them not to go to Pingcheng. She kept pointing her hand in the direction of Xiao Yu before she died. She couldn't let go of the child before she died.
Xiao Ming felt that this was strange. My eldest brother knew how to hunt and should be pretty good at it. How could ordinary people kill them? Maybe they had their own enemies, and the enemies were powerful, so they were injured and died. Because of this, they had no fixed place to live. , often move places.
Xiao Ming has too little memory, so Xiao Ming can only make a rough guess. However, in Xiao Ming's memory, she seems to have been to many places, including bustling cities, sparsely populated counties and small towns, often at night. After moving, walking on the road in the dark night, the last memory remains here. At that time, it was the sister-in-law holding Xiao Yu, and the eldest brother holding her and Xiao Han's hands as they walked in the dark without a torch. At that time, she was so scared that she cried. The eldest brother picked her up and led Xiao Han to continue walking.
Liujiacun is the place where they have been doing business for the longest time. Xiao Ming doesn’t know why they move so often, but this is also where they are happiest. The family bought two acres of land, they grow their own food, and the meat is hunted by their eldest brother in the mountains. Her eldest brother is a good hunter. Every time he goes to the mountains, he brings back a lot of game meat, which he makes into dried meat.
My sister-in-law takes care of the housework and keeps the three small huts in the house in order, clean and warm; she teaches Xiao Mingnu red in her spare time. The couple never left the village except for hunting in the mountains. When they ran out of oil and salt at home, they traded game meat with villagers.
At that time, Xiao Ming and Xiao Han never knew that their sister-in-law had medical skills. They only discovered it slowly after Xiao Ming came here.
After they died unexpectedly, Xiao Han sold all the land and valuable items in his family before burying them. The family had no land, no food, and no money. They went through the most difficult time in their lives. Although Xiao Han worked hard to find food every day, eating less and doing more, Xiao Ming still left in that cold winter.
Xiao Ming no longer thinks about this. They have been safe and sound in the past few months. They just treat it as an accident and a sudden surprise. However, she decided to prepare some medicine for self-defense when she returned.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the two of them accelerated their pace home.
