Valley Emperor

At the foot of Huangzhu Mountain, there were more than 100 mountain people left by Fang Dongquan and the others, but now there are more than 200 people who came with Li Xuan and the others, making the population of this place more than 300 people.

It's just that there are not many young men among them, only fifty or sixty people, because more young men are still in circles in the mountains with the officers and soldiers under the leadership of Fang Dongquan. Even if everything goes well, they will not be able to return for many days.

Most of the villagers who have just arrived here are packing their houses. Because the houses are not enough, some people are still cutting bamboo and wood to build wooden houses.

Because of the lack of time, the wooden house they built was very simple, without even an earthen wall. They only used trees and bamboo as the frame and branches as the top.

If you are a scholar, maybe the wooden house in his eyes is like this: behind the hut in the woods is a piece of green bamboo, the bamboo forest swaying gently with the wind like waves undulating each other, and the sound of the bamboo is mixed with the chirping of birds.

The buds of the grass beside the cobblestone path in front of the door are stained with morning dewdrops, dazzling in the sun like bright pearls, couplets are engraved on the wooden boards on both sides of the wooden door, and the book reads: Wild bamboo shoots and mountain vegetables, lying high do not need to worry about drinking friends; bamboo The rattan pillow on the bed, why bother to admire the immortal family.

However, in the eyes of a layman like Li Xuan, this wooden house is really too simple, it can't shelter from the wind and rain at all, and at most it can barely shade the sun.

After walking over and asking a few people who are building houses, Li Xuan learned that the wooden houses they are building are only temporary residences. Time to live in people's houses.

In front of and behind some houses, fruits and vegetables are planted, and chickens and ducks shuttle through them leisurely. In front of the rows of houses is a small plain. A small part of the plain has been reclaimed, and fields of rice and other crops are planted. At this time, it is time to In midsummer, the rice in the paddy fields has grown very high.

Judging from the season and the growth of the rice, Li Xuan knew that it would not take long for the rice to bear ears of rice, and the early rice could be harvested in July and August.

However, Li Xuan didn't have a deep understanding of crops in his previous life, and he couldn't see the yield from a piece of green rice, but it should be good in terms of growth. There is no large-scale water conservancy project, but it is enough to divert water to irrigate the fields.

If only on the surface, this should be a paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the world!

However, Li Xuan knew that behind this paradise is a serious bandit den.

Maybe these bandits used to be ordinary villagers who couldn't get enough to eat, but now they are bandits.

But Li Xuan is not ready to criticize them, because Li Xuan is in this bandit den now, and he is still regarded as an emperor by Fang Dongquan and the others. To a certain extent, he Li Xuan is the name of this bandit den. the bandit chief.

The next day, Li Xuan went to the back room to see Dong Yunyun's condition after breakfast.

Dong Yunyun didn't fall asleep as she did yesterday, but half leaned on the bed, with Pearl feeding her porridge beside her.

Li Xuan stepped forward and asked, "Do you feel better?"

Seeing Li Xuan, Dong Yunyun gently pushed Pearl's hand, indicating that she would eat later, and said at the same time, "Young Master Lao is bothering, my concubine feels much better than yesterday!"

"In this way, Mr. Qian's new recipe should be effective!" Li Xuan stepped forward and looked at Dong Yunyun carefully.

At this time, although she still looked pale, she was obviously more energetic than yesterday, which made Li Xuan feel a lot more relieved.

Dong Yunyun has been seriously ill these past few days, and she even had a long drowsiness yesterday, which made Li Xuan quite worried.

Seeing that her spirit is better now, I feel relieved. Although Qian Mengjiu failed to find the right medicine two days ago, after changing the prescription yesterday, it is obviously effective.

The doctor Qian Mengjiu still seems to have two brushes, not the kind of quack doctor who only takes money and kills people.

"You have to eat more. Even if you have a cold and you don't have an appetite, you can't eat, but even if it's clear porridge, you have to eat more, so that you can get better faster!" Li Xuan looked at the half-empty bowl in Pearl's hand, and immediately turned around again. He turned to Pearl and said, "Go and serve another bowl, and let your lady eat more!"

Pearl nodded: "Got it!"

When she turned to look at Pearl, she found that Pearl's face was also not very good-looking, her face was a little haggard, and there were obvious dark circles under her eye sockets. It was estimated that she had not been able to rest for the past few days to take care of Dong Yunyun. it is good.

Immediately said: "You should also pay attention to your body, but don't tell me that your young lady is still ill, and you will fall ill yourself. I'll let someone help you later!"

When Pearl heard this, she said, "I can do it without anyone else!"

And Dong Yunyun on the bed said: "Yes, listen to Mr. Li, you can go to rest after a while, you didn't sleep all night last night!"

Li Xuan knew that this Pearl was not worried about other people taking care of Dong Yunyun, and was even more afraid that the bandits would be bad for her young lady, and immediately said: "Don't worry, I won't let those people outside, I will ask my mother to come over and take a look first. Look!"

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Pearl hesitated for a while, but she didn't insist, and nodded slightly.

After leaving the back room, Li Xuan went to Mrs. Bai's room next door. Mrs. Bai had just finished breakfast. Li Xuan didn't add any more nonsense, he just explained his intention.

After listening to Mrs. Bai, she did not agree immediately, but stared at Li Xuan for a long time, and then said, "Xuan'er, don't you really like her, think of her as a daughter-in-law!"

Li Xuan gave a wry smile after hearing this: "How come, I just think she is pitiful!"

"She's pitiful, so we won't be pitiful anymore!" But after saying this, Madam Bai sighed, "Oh, forget it, I'll go take a look later!"

Li Xuan is very clear that her mother, Madam Bai, only sees herself in her eyes. Whether it was before or now, she wholeheartedly wants to leave with her, but the development of things in the past few days has surpassed the control of her little landlady.

From the beginning to the end, she never regarded Dong Yunyun as a daughter-in-law, a lovely lady. Before escaping, she used Dong Yunyun to reduce Fang Dongquan's defensiveness. When she fled, she disliked Dong Yunyun's master and servant as a burden. If it wasn't for Li Xuan to make it clear , At that time, they would never be taken with them when fleeing.

When the officers and soldiers came to attack, they brought Dong Yunyun with them again, and prepared to take her as a hostage when necessary and fled to Huangzhu Mountain. She never cared about Dong Yunyun's illness, and didn't even say a word of greeting.

Perhaps in this little woman's heart, other than her son, no one else matters.

And now, no matter what the mentality of Mrs. Bai's promise to take care of Dong Yunyun, Li Xuan is relieved. With so many people in this bandit den, the only person who can make him feel at ease and trust is his mother, Mrs. Bai. She Now that he has agreed, it is much better than Li Xuan looking for a few bandits' female relatives to take care of Dong Yunyun.

As soon as she came out of Mrs. Bai's room, she saw Qian Mengjiu walking towards him with small steps, a look of panic on his face.
