Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

"Xuehua, why is it you? What happened?"

Zhao Heng saw Xuehua's embarrassed look and cried out: "Master Zhao, my father fell off the cliff and is unconscious now?"

Zhao Heng thought about throwing his chopsticks and leaving, and didn't know what to say. He turned around and walked into the yard, shouting.

"Aunt, it's not good. Uncle Wang fell off the cliff and fell unconscious. Hurry!"

When Liang Shuyan heard this, she quickly pulled Jin Dashan out and said hurriedly: "Quick, follow Zhao Heng and catch the carriage to move your Uncle Wang back!"

Liang Shuyan hurriedly called Mrs. Jin and came to Wang Dakui's house.

Li Zheng led a group of people and hurriedly loaded Wang Dakui into the carriage. His face was pale. Wang Dakui was only a few years older than Li Zheng. But for some reason, he just So short-lived?

Is this the end of his life?

Mrs. Jin lowered her voice: "I don't know how such a good thing could happen. Is there something on Wang Dakui's mind?"

Liang Shuyan shook her head, she still didn't know.

Li Zheng walked towards Liang Shuyan and shook his head slowly: "There is no way to save the person. It seems that we need to prepare for the funeral. I have made everyone in the village anxious and went to the Wang family to help."

Liang Shuyan was a little confused, so she stepped forward and asked, "What's going on? When did it happen?"

"Last night, Wang Dakui had a dream. He dreamed that someone was stealing wheat in his wheat field, so he stopped the person. Who knew that the person actually said that he owed someone something and insisted on dragging him away? ! After waking up from the dream, he told Xuehua this, but Xuehua ignored it, saying it was nothing more than a dream. Who knows, when Xuehua thought about coming to find her father, she realized that he had run out of energy!"

Liang Shuyan had not thought that such a miracle could happen. She said with some regret: "Wang Dakui has only one daughter, Xue Hua, in his whole life. Now that something has happened, I really feel sorry for this child."

"Who says it's not the case? If that's the case, then go and help bury Wang Dakui. Since there is no one left, the funeral still needs to be taken care of."

In the courtyard of the Wang family, Jin Daya came in panting with a basin of noodles and placed it on the chopping board.

Ruyan said with some regret: "I really didn't expect that Uncle Wang would go like this. What should I do if Xuehua is left alone?"

"I'm sure Li Zheng will come up with a good idea. Don't worry about it. Just help clean the basket and steam the buns."

After an elderly person in the countryside dies, steamed buns are a must. They are used to offer sacrifices on the mourning platform and to eat, so they will be steamed more often.

Ruyan cleaned the steamer and spread the steamer cloth. Jin Daya quickly kneaded the steamed buns and placed them on the steamer.

On the other side, the fat aunt is picking vegetables and Mr. Jiao is chopping vegetables. They are preparing some side dishes for stews. When the helpers come back later, they can eat hot steamed buns and stews. In this place, this is how people are treated after they die.

Li Zheng led a few people and parked Wang Dakui's body in the thatched shed outside, while the mourning hall was inside the house.

For people who died outside, poison cannot enter the home. This is the local rule.Wang Xuehua cried her heart out. Liang Shuyan was very worried for her when she saw that the child didn't eat a bite of food, her face was sallow, and she was trembling when she walked.

"Xuehua, don't worry. Your father has passed away, so don't be sad for him. He will definitely be extremely sad when he sees you like this."

Wang Xuehua knelt on the ground and said with tears and runny nose: "Aunt, this matter is evil. The matter about the Stone Mountain. A few days ago, my father went to the valley to worship the mountain god, saying he wanted good luck. , I didn’t expect that such a thing would happen. It was not a mountain god protecting people at all, but a scourge that could not protect people at all.”

Only then did Liang Shuyan think of the matter of the stone mountain. She had always said that she wanted to deal with the stone mountain, but she had not dealt with it. Now such a thing has happened?

Liang Shuyan felt a little guilty. Although she said she didn't believe in superstition, she had also experienced the demon of Stone Mountain. Wasn't it all because of this man that he kidnapped Xue Hua and became cruel and bloodthirsty?

Li Zheng came in and called Liang Shuyan out.

"The yin and yang I'm looking for has been revealed. Did Wang Dakui end up like this because he went to Stone Mountain, alarmed the mountain god, and was punished by the mountain god?"

But Liang Shuyan shook her head: "What mountain god? He is clearly a devil. If he can protect our village, why would something like this happen? I heard that Wang Dakui went to worship in the valley this time, and he was in a trance after returning. Then that happened.”

Li Zheng said with some caution: "If this mountain god is really so efficacious, then we can't move without permission. Why don't we wait until Wang Dakui is buried, ask a Taoist to do the ritual, and then raze this stone mountain to the ground."

Liang Shuyan didn't say much, and there weren't many people talking in the yard. They were all elderly people in the village.

Wang Dakui's life experience is also pitiful. Now that he is dead, none of his relatives are here, except for people from the village.

Soon, people in the village helped bury Wang Dakui. Wang Xuehua was alone. Liang Shuyan sympathized with Wang Xuehua. She also felt that Wang Xuehua was destined to her, so she told Li Zheng, "Li Zheng, Xue Hua also We don’t have many relatives, so I want to bring Xuehua to our home. We have many children, so it won’t be too boring.”

In the past few years, whenever something happened in the village, Liang Shuyan would take in the poor people. Today, Liang Shuyan's family has more than a dozen people, and he is really embarrassed about this.

Liang Shuyan took Wang Xuehua back home and found a luxurious carriage parked in front of her house.

Seeing Liang Shuyan coming, the county magistrate came over with two guards and said with a smile.

"This is the tea scholar!"

Liang Shuyan didn't understand what a tea scholar was, so she looked at the county magistrate with her eyes and asked curiously: "Who are these two people?"

"Both of these two are from the imperial palace. This time you have made another good harvest of wheat, and your tea has entered the imperial city and won the emperor's favor. The emperor named you a tea connoisseur!"

I saw a eunuch in eunuch uniform, raised his throat, took out the imperial edict and chanted: "Liang Shuyan, a peasant woman from this county, led the villagers to achieve a double harvest, and also invented a fragrant tea that makes me happy. I hereby congratulate the tea connoisseur and give Ten thousand taels of gold, a set of tea Confucian clothes, hope to keep up the good work! I admire this!"

Liang Shuyan never expected that she would be conferred the title of Tea Confucian by the Holy Father. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and politely received the order: "A common woman thanks the emperor for his kindness!"
