different devil life

"Well, but Xiuxiu is only 7 years old, do you think I'm not good enough for her?" Wang Zhong said calmly.

Sun Jitian was a little surprised. The child in front of him was only 7 years old, and he was talking to an adult as if talking to him. Not only did he speak clearly, but he was neither humble nor overbearing. look.

"Say it straight, what do you want me for?" Wang Zhong said again.

Sun Jitian came step by step, Wang Zhong's expression was flat, he was not afraid of the opponent's attack on him, after all there were maids and servants walking around not far away.

"I hope you, treat my sister better!" Sun Jitian said every word.

"Eh?"

"I can see that you are quite precocious. I thought my sister would marry some disobedient kid. Now that I see you like this, I feel relieved."

Sun Jitian breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled sincerely in his eyes: "However, if you treat my sister badly, I promise, I won't let you go!"

After saying that, Sun Jitian left without looking back.

Wang Zhong felt a messy feeling.

Have you been recognized by your brother-in-law?

Early the next morning, Wang Zhong heard from Yuanwai Sun, who came to see Wang Quancai's injuries, that Sun Jitian voluntarily went to the nearby big city to practice martial arts in a martial arts hall.

After chatting for a while, Sun Yuanwai smiled at Wang Chong: "Erping, Xiuxiu is in the yard, you two go play house."

It can be seen that Sun Yuanwai also likes Wang Zhong very much, mainly because Wang Zhong has shown the kind of understanding that ordinary children don't have since childhood, and he doesn't need to be taught anything, he understands everything by himself.

"Okay, Mr. Sun."

Wang Zhong felt a little emotional in his heart, after all, disasters cannot be avoided, really want to see his fiancée, it's really annoying.

When he came to the courtyard, Wang Zhong stood with his hands behind his back and walked calmly, quite childishly acting like a child, causing a few servant girls to point and point.

"Look at this kid, how funny."

"Yeah, I heard that he is the son of a scholar, and he is really bookish."

These maids talked without any shyness, and the reason was very simple. Would a 7-year-old child think that this child could understand their chat?

"Boy, which family are you from? Why are you at my house?"

Chapter 8 The road ahead

A baby's voice came, and Wang Zhong turned his head. There was a girl in a flower-colored padded jacket, with long hair, a pink face, and a small cherry mouth.

"Sun Xiuxiu?" Wang Zhong said.

"It's my girl, who are you, could it be..."

She seemed to have guessed Wang Zhong's identity, because her father told her a few days ago that a child named Wang Zhong was very nice, so he made a baby marriage for them.

"That's right, I'm your future husband-in-law." Wang Zhong walked towards her: "I know you look down on me now, but it doesn't matter, in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, I will let you know the real me."

Wang Zhong didn't approach Sun Xiuxiu, because he found that this girl developed faster than him, she was seven years old, but she was half a head taller than him, and if he walked over, he would look up to her.

Sure enough, girls develop fast, especially this kind of girl who has been well-clothed and well-fed since childhood.

Although Sun Xiuxiu was only 7 years old, she knew a lot, but Wang Zhong's words still made her unable to react.

"What 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, let me tell you, I am very strict with my husband-in-law, can you do it?"

Can it be done?

Please remove the word '?', thank you.

It's a pity that Wang Zhong won't explain too much. After all, what he's facing is just a 7-year-old baby. Does he need to explain when dealing with this kind of child?

"Hmph, can't you do it?" Sun Xiuxiu stuck out her tongue weirdly: "Liu Wei Wei, my husband can pretend to be a rooster, so hurry up and pretend to be a rooster for me to crow, just like this, quack quack..."

"You're a duck." Wang Zhong frowned.

"I know I'm a duck, so I want you to learn from a rooster, so hurry up and learn from me."

Is this girl's temper like this? She is indeed a seven-year-old doll, unreasonable.

"I remembered that I still have something to do, goodbye."

"Hey, don't go, roosters don't know how to learn, learn how to meow like pigs, my husband wants to be able to play with me, you hurry up and meow bloody pigs, I still want to ride a horse..."

The eccentric Sun Xiuxiu kept pestering Wang Zhong, and Wang Zhong was so angry that his face turned blue. At first he thought this girl was cute, but now he just finds it annoying.

"Such a girl is actually my wife, I'm so mad."

In the next few days, Sun Xiuxiu came to look for Wang Zhong almost every day, but Wang Zhong basically avoided it.

There is no way to do this. A seven-year-old child has been pestering him. He can't be beaten or scolded. He really has no rule of law.

After more than a month, Wang Quancai recovered from his injuries and the color of his face returned. He was embarrassed to live any longer, so he bid farewell to this place and went home.

Five years passed in a blink of an eye.

Since Wang Quancai was seriously injured, his body has not healed. Although there is nothing on the surface, he can no longer go to work in the fields. He can only teach some children to read. However, as his health deteriorates day by day, in the end, he has no energy to teach. .

So in the end, only Wang Zhong could teach.

During this period, Wang Zhong had a fulfilling life, exercising every day, but because of Wang Quan, he lost the ability to work, so he could only learn to work in the fields at a young age.

On a midsummer night, after Wang Zhong finished his meal, he was just about to go out to practice kung fu when Wang Quan, who was resting on the bed, stopped him.

"Erping, you are already 12 years old, what do you think about the future?"

Wang Quancai is worthy of being an intellectual, and what he pretends in his mind is not to let the children guard the three-acre land.

"Father, can I go to the exam to get fame in the future." Wang Zhong put down his chopsticks and said calmly.

The couple looked at each other, and Wang Quancai shook his head in disappointment: "This way, no."

"But you also took the imperial examination several times back then. Although you didn't pass the exam, why didn't you let me try?" After thinking for a while, Wang Zhong simply stood up, "You should know my knowledge, and you are sure."

"It's a pity that you were born at an untimely time."

"What do you mean?"

"The current imperial court is corrupt and there are countless stupid officials. I heard that Li Erdan's brother next door took the imperial examination five times, but none of them passed the imperial examination. Do you know why?" Wang Quancai sighed: "It's because the test paper was changed."

"Is that so..."

In the Dalong Dynasty, when he was a young eunuch at the beginning, the civil and military officials of the Dalong Dynasty were basically stupid officials, and corruption prevailed. The test papers will replace the cases that fail the test papers.

I didn't expect this world to have...

In the Dragon Dynasty, because he was close to the emperor, as long as he showed some talent in front of the emperor, he could easily gain power.

But this time, it's not that easy.

"Then what about my martial arts exam?" After Wang Zhong finished speaking, he vetoed it for himself.

With his body, I am afraid it will not be so easy to pass the exam.

"Erping, you are going to marry Sun Xiuxiu in the future, so you don't have to think too much about those things. From now on, you will go to Sun's house more often to connect with each other. As for me, my health is getting worse and worse. You are already 12 years old. You will be an adult in two years, remember, this family will be handed over to you in the future, and when you are 18, I will try to get you and Xiuxiu married in advance."

"Uh... Got it."

Although he knew it was a game, Wang Zhong still felt heavy in his heart, because he knew that it was a family responsibility.

After that, Wang Quancai's health deteriorated day by day. He could barely walk before, but in the end he could only lie on the bed.

In fact, Wang Zhong also thought about how to treat Wang Quancai, but it is a pity that he does not know Chinese medicine, so he cannot be treated at all. He can only frequently ask the doctor in the village to come over to take the pulse, and then prepare some Chinese medicine.

In order to see a doctor, all five sheep in the family were sold, leaving only one ram for breeding, and more than a dozen old hens that could only lay eggs were finally sold by Chen Yu.

Because Wang Quancai can't teach anymore, and the number of children who came to study is less and less. After all, Wang Zhong seems to be only in his teens, and no one believes that he can teach. In addition, brother Li Erdan from a village also opened a Private school, where most of the children go to school.

This caused the family's income to drop a lot at once, and they had to buy medicine for Wang Quancai every month, which also made the originally wealthy family feel stretched.

The house leak coincided with continuous night rain. In the summer when Wang Zhong was 16 years old, there was a continuous storm for more than a month, and the fields that were supposed to have a bumper harvest failed.

The house of Wang Zhong's family was also collapsed by the heavy rain. Fortunately, he found out that something was wrong in advance, and quickly dragged his mother out of the house.

But it was too late for him to save Wang Quancai. After the heavy rain, Wang Zhong and his mother found Wang Quancai who had been crushed to death under a pile of ruins.

Chapter 9 Famine (Don't forget the recommendation ticket)

Wang Quan just left, and he didn't leave peacefully.

Although Wang Zhong didn't know Chinese medicine, he was able to do a simple examination of the corpse. He could tell that Wang Quancai was not killed immediately.

When the house collapsed, it only hit his legs, and he gradually lost blood to death.

Apart from them, other people in the village are also having a hard time. All the fertile fields that are about to be harvested have been soaked in water for too long, resulting in necrosis of the crops and no harvest.

In addition, many people's houses collapsed, their property was lost, countless casualties, and more and more displaced people.

As for the imperial court, it was fatuous and incompetent. The food that was originally distributed for disaster relief was embezzled layer by layer by officials, and in the end the victims of the disaster did not receive any relief.

After the rainy season, Wang Zhong and his mother covered Wang Quancai with a straw mat and simply buried him in the back hill of their home.

It wasn't that Wang Zhong didn't want to buy a better coffin, it was because the family property was gone, there were only two people and an old sheep that could only breed, and they couldn't afford a coffin anymore.

Wang Zhong never expected that the 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 that he can stand up again.

People in the village had nothing to eat, and more and more people were stealing chickens and dogs. At night, Wang Zhong and his mother lived in the sheep shed, and heard the old sheep barking in the middle of the night.

"BAA Baa baa……"

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

Wang Zhong turned over and stood up, picked up the ax he had hidden in the haystack without saying a word.

"Who!"

In the dark night, Wang Zhong saw two figures pulling the old sheep away.

"What's he!"

Wang Zhong chopped it off without saying a word. After all, these two people had a guilty conscience, so they turned their heads and ran away.

"Erping, what's the matter?" Chen Yu walked out tremblingly.

"It's okay, mother, there are two thieves who want to steal our sheep."

"This God won't give us a way out, we are all like this, and there are thieves thinking about us, cough cough..."

Chen Yu burst into tears and coughed violently.

These days, she can't sleep well, eat well, and she is getting older, and her health is getting worse and worse.

For the next time, Wang Zhong asked Chen Yu to clean up the ruins at home, pick up some usable things, and watch Lao Yang by the way.

As for him not farming anymore, because he has no money to buy seeds at all, and besides farming now, it is too late to wait for the harvest, so he has to find a way to get money and food.

So he took an ax and a shovel and decisively entered the mountain.

These days, the mountains are still ruled by animals. If one goes deep into the mountains, it is easy to encounter wild animals, so Wang Zhong does not dare to go too deep into the mountains.

After climbing a few trees and digging out a few birds' eggs, Wang Zhong found a small hole, and unexpectedly he caught a nest of bamboo rats, three of them.

After being killed by him with an axe, he picked some wild fruits and mushrooms, and then went home.

When I got home, I saw several villagers from the village gathered in front of the house.

"Erping's mother, our family really has no money. You can do me a favor and let your old sheep breed our ewes. Of my sixteen sheep, only these three are left."

Lao Huang's family led three ewes. His family was also quite miserable. He used to be a blacksmith, but this time the house collapsed, and one of his sons was crushed to death, but people always have to live. After cleaning up , to start a new life.

Originally, they had to charge two renminbi for one mating, but this time they would charge at least six renminbi for breeding three ewes.

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

Chen Yu didn't know what to do at this time, but fortunately Wang Zhong came back.

"Uncle Huang." Wang Chong called out, "It's okay if you don't have money, just give me something to eat."

"This……"

Lao Huang is very embarrassed. Who has food at this time, even if there is, who is willing to take it out? Now it is not the same as before.

"How about this, you can help me make some iron pipes in the future, and you can come to breed at any time." Wang Zhong thought for a while.
