The Villain is Addicted to Farming

After Zhong Qiyuan and Zhong Chuyuan left home, Meng found that the frequency of coming from Wan to Zhong's house had increased. In the past, Cong Wan only occasionally went to the Zhong's family to join the table for dinner, but now he comes here basically once a day.

Meng's happily said: "In the past, when Yuan'er and Yuanyuan were at home, you didn't come so often. Are you worried about what might happen to me at home alone?"

From Wan Xin thought, she didn't care about Meng Clan, but she was forced by the villain boss' lewdness.

These words are not easy to say directly, besides, Zhong Qiyuan's other meaning is to let her help to watch Meng's family!

She is a dignified system auditor. There is no need to listen to a host’s instructions, but considering that Zhong Qiyuan collapses the small world, she still has to do the follow-up processing, and she can't fish on both sides, why not Pick a lighter job? !

"Sister Zhong is worried that Aunt Meng can't live with those hired workers and will ruin her field by then, so I asked me to help Aunt Meng."

Meng clan said meaningfully and authentically: "Auntie knows everything!"

Cong Wan: "?"

What does she know?

When Zhong Qiyuan was absent, Meng said boldly: “Wish it seems that she doesn’t worry about me, but she will still worry about it, but her mouth is hard. You are the same. You never mix with other people’s affairs on weekdays, but you do. It's not really indifferent. You are gentle and considerate, and I hope it's true to have a bride like you."

Cong Wan's cheeks are slightly red.

Meng's praise is her?

She just didn't want to put so many things on her body, and she didn't want to be harsh to others and cause trouble, so she kept being so low-key. And smiling at people has been her professional habit for many years. She is actually afraid of trouble and likes to fish!

"Aunt Meng is too rewarding." Cong Wan said with a guilty conscience.

She turned her head and asked the system: "What are the host doing with the son of luck?"

"Debt collection."

Cong Wan: "..."

clam?

After Zhong Qiyuan and Zhong Chuyuan left Fuxian, they headed south. Because Zhong Chuyuan's household sticker was still in Zhong's house, she put on the Taoist gown that Zhong Qiyuan eliminated and disguised as a Taoist priest.

When the officers and soldiers checked, Zhong Qiyuan took out the original master's temple gate post, and then declared that Zhong Chuyu was her new disciple, and had not formally entered the Taoist temple. The imperial court managed the monastery households relatively loosely, so these officers and soldiers let them go without asking.

Zhong Chuyuan was puzzled: "In my hometown, the government doesn't seem to be so strict about it?"

Zhong Qiyuan said: "Suzhou is under the jurisdiction of Xuanwu Jiedushi. After the Huaihe River, it is the site of Huainan Jiedushi, and further south, to the Yangtze River area, it belongs to Jiangnan. There are many rules in the south of the Yangtze River. Many rules still exist. Here again. It is the place of choice for the people of the Central Plains to avoid military disasters. A large number of floating households are influx, which is extremely prone to disturbances. The officers and soldiers naturally conduct investigations more strictly."

Zhong Chuyuan also understood this. When they crossed the Huai River by ferry, they saw that there were many wine shops on both sides of the bank, bustling, and the pattern of the market was completely broken. At night, the curfew system does not seem to exist here, the wine flags are on display, the lights are bright, and it is so lively.

After passing these places, you can see the floating households who are blocked outside the city gate because they have no household stickers. They have no land, no home, and cannot enter the city to find a livelihood, so they can only stay outside the city.

The slightly stronger man saw that a caravan was about to unload and pay taxes into the city, so he eagerly went to help unload the goods in order to get some money to get by.

The thin women can only sit together and wait for Yatong to sell them as goods.

These images shocked Zhong Chuyu, making her unable to calm down for a long time. She wanted to help, but soon found out that she couldn't do anything. These people need money and food, and she has neither money nor food. Their food and clothing expenses all depended on the money they gave to others on the way, and she didn't have spare money to give to these people.

Zhong Chuyuan felt frustrated for the first time. She said: "Why didn't Huainan Jiedu envoy arrange them?"

"In a place, there are only so many land resources, population, and labor. After these floating households come here, they will lose their balance. Will the local people in Huainan give up resources to outsiders, will they be happy?"

Zhong Chuyuan knew that no one would be happy.

Going further south, there are fewer floating households, and the government's investigations are not so strict.

Zhong Chuyuan found that many floating households could be resettled here. Although she knew that directly asking Zhong Qiyuan to get the answer, she still chose to observe and think on her own.

Finally, it was discovered that Huainan and Jiangnan were close to the war-torn Central Plains, so many floating households were evading military disasters and paying excessive taxes. The southern part of the Yangtze River belongs to the "land of the Southern Barbarian" with many mountains and forests, less arable land, and few people. The government officials have come to visit more floating households to reclaim wasteland and raise taxes.

She told Zhong Qiyuan of this conclusion, who said: "Besides, do you have any other findings?"

Zhong Chuyuan racked his brains for a long time, but found nothing else.

Zhong Qiyuan said: "It's even more popular here to find witches to treat patients with witchcraft when they are sick. Fortunately, I bring the guy who eats, and we can make a lot of money."

Zhong Chuyuan: "..."

So when they settled down in the Po Taoist temple in a certain village, they happened to encounter a pregnant woman who had a dystocia. The family couldn't find a witch doctor, so they asked Zhong Qiyuan to do the birth ritual.

Zhong Qiyuan asked the son of luck: "Are you going to do things, or do you want to deliver?"

Zhong Chuyu twitched the corners of her mouth and rolled up her sleeves: "Let's deliver the baby!"

Compared with the practice, delivery, not right, obstetrics and gynecology is the field she is more familiar with.

So Zhong Qiyuan was drinking tea outside, and Zhong Chuyuan helped deliver the baby in the delivery room. The family asked Zhong Qiyuan: "Does the Taoist master not plan to do things?"

Zhong Qiyuan calmly said: "Why do you need to take care of this kind of trivial matter?"

When the family heard this, there was no doubt, after all, the masters were the last to make the shot.

Having said that, they are still a little nervous. Zhong Chuyuan is too young, and they worry that her "mana" is not as good as Zhong Qiyuan's, and the mother will suffer a lot of crimes.

But it didn't take long for the child to be born smoothly.

The family thanked them very excitedly and gave them a generous gift.

After they left, Zhong Chuyuan asked, "Sister, if this happens, more and more people think that witchcraft is more effective than medicine, and what should we do if we abandon medicine and pursue witchcraft?"

"Then what do you think should be done?" Zhong Qiyuan threw the question back to her.

This can stump Zhong Chuyu.

The reason why the family sought them out was because of their Taoist status. If they frankly did nothing at all, they would definitely be unhappy, even if she said something that she could treat, she would not be accepted by them.

But if you don't confess, they will only rely more on "practices."

Before she could figure out a solution, some villagers came to them after hearing about the incident, saying that his wife always had miscarriages and suspected ghosts and wanted them to help exorcise evil spirits.

Zhong Chuyuan felt that the villager was familiar, and his accent was somewhat close to Suzhou. Before she could figure it out, Zhong Qiyuan said with great interest: "So you are hiding here. It's no wonder that the government has not found you after many years of investigating you."

The villager was stunned, and when he recognized Zhong Qiyuan's face, he was shocked: "You—"

"Is he wanted?" Zhong Chuyuan looked at Zhong Qiyuan suspiciously.

"The Shu family who owed us 80 shi for food and absconded with the money without paying back, if I remember correctly, they are Shu Shuang's eldest grandson, called Shu Cai."

Zhong Chuyuan quickly recalled the incident. She still remembered that it was the first time she went to collect rent with her sister, excited and curious. Of course, what has a deeper memory is the delicious grilled chicken wings that Sister Yun gave her...

"It turned out to be this rogue."

Shu Cai turned around and wanted to run. Zhong Qiyuan had a smile on his face: "You have been wanted for ten years, and the wanted order has not been removed. If I go to the government to report you, do you think you can stay here?"

Shu Cai's legs were weak, and he never thought Zhong Qiyuan would be here. They were obviously far away from Suzhou, so why were they still chasing after them?

Not long after their family left Suzhou, they got into the ranks of refugees and went all the way south, avoiding several interrogations by officers and soldiers in the middle.

After crossing the Huai River, they were still uneasy in their hearts, so they continued to walk south and crossed the Yangtze River until they found a place to stay here.

In the next eight years, they responded to the government's call to reclaim wasteland, changed from floating households to main households, and had their own fields and lived a peaceful life. Unexpectedly, the "murderer" who caused them to leave their hometown in the first place will appear here!

"You are really wronged!" When Shu Cai saw her, she thought of the comfort of staying in Suzhou to divert the government's attention in order to let them escape. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't be unfilial offspring who abandon their father/grandfather!

Zhong Qiyuan was happy: "It's still my fault to dare to love?"

Shu Cai's eyes turned sharply, thinking that this place had left the sphere of influence of Xuanwu Jiedushi, they no longer fear the Zhong family, and they have been in the village for many years. Compared with two outsiders, the villagers will definitely stand by them. Here!

Besides, the two of them looked like flowers and jade, tied them up and gave them to the gentry here. With the shelter of the gentry, why should they be afraid of the government?
