Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

Chapter 004 Lingjia Village, Yuehuagou

Lingjia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and backed by Yuehua Mountains. There is a tributary of Lingjiang River and a tributary of Inland Sea on the left and right sides. It is reasonable to say that Lingjia Village should be very rich, but Lingjia Village and the surrounding villages are very poor. The reason is very simple. The Yuehua Mountains are surrounded by clouds and fog all year round. People who go in for hunting basically have no return. Most of the villagers are digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain and setting up traps to catch some small animals.

The villages close to the river and sea have always been very wealthy, but the bad thing about Lingjia Village is that it is not only close to the tributaries of the Lingjiang River, but also to the tributaries of the Inland Sea. The river basin is terrible. Every year, the sea water floods into the land, and a large area of ​​the land becomes semi-salt land. It was not that no one used to open up wasteland to grow food. It is a pity that any seeds can't survive. Therefore, even if the land in the north of the village is planted No matter how fertile it is, it cannot bring the villagers a prosperous life.

In addition, in recent years, the imperial court has been fighting year after year, and the taxes have been increasing year by year, and the life of the common people has become more difficult, but in comparison, the life of Grandpa Ling Jingxuan's family is quite decent.

Ling Qiyun, the elder of the Ling family, is the only old scholar in the village. He is the eldest in the family. He also has a brother, Ling Qicai. They are all tax-free, so the lives of the two people in the Ling family are just fine.

The big house Ling Qiyun was Ling Jingxuan's grandfather. Mr. Ling was admitted as a scholar in his twenties. At that time, he was the only person in the village. But later, no matter how he hung his head and stabbed his shares, he studied hard in Han Chuang and never changed again. Further, Ling Qiyun didn't give up the scientific examination until he was almost forty years old, and opened a small school in the village, collecting some repairs and subsidizing the family.

Ling Qiyun has three sons and one daughter, the eldest Ling Chengwen, the second child Ling Chenglong, the third child Ling Chenghu, and the youngest daughter Ling Chenghua. When he was young, Ling Qiyun also put the dream of the imperial examination on his sons, but none of the three brothers were expected to study. , Not even a child has passed the exam. Speaking of it, the Ling family is considered a family of farming and reading. Everyone in the family is literate, although none of them look like an old man.

Under the leadership of the two little buns, Ling Jingxuan, who twisted a heavy wooden barrel and headed to the riverside, sorted out the information in his mind a little. The original Ling Jingxuan was the eldest son of Ling Chenglong, the second room of the Ling family. When he passed the entrance examination, the old man was so happy to worship his ancestors, but one day five years ago, as a man, he was actually made a big belly, and indirectly revealed the secret that his parents had hidden for more than ten years. It turned out that he was born with a Incomplete, there are both women's genitals and men's genitals. In modern times, this kind of person is called intersex, but in ancient times, it was a monster. People found out that it was going to be burned alive. Ling Chenglong and his wife could not bear it, and quietly put the This thing was kept under wraps, who knows...

What happened later can be imagined. The old man was furious and threatened to take Ling Jingxuan to Shentang. This incident shocked Ling's ancestral hall at the time. With the unanimous opinion of the patriarch and several elders, he decided to immerse Ling Jingxuan with a big belly. The pig cage sank into the tributary of the Inland Sea, and I don't know if Ling Jingxuan was lucky or the two little buns should not die. Just when the villagers were angrily tying up Ling Jingxuan, Li Zheng Ling Qicai, who went to the county to run errands, came back with him at the same time. I came back with a piece of news that everyone could not accept with peace of mind. The newly appointed Hu County decree clearly forbids the abuse of lynching in all villages and towns, and wasteful lives. In the end, Li Zheng discussed with the patriarch Ling and his party and decided to expel Ling Jingxuan from Ling Qiyun’s lineage. He arrived at the foot of Yuehua Mountain, which is far away from the village. As for whether he can survive, it depends on his own good fortune.

After going through that incident, Ling Jingxuan was dumbfounded. If it wasn't for his mother, Ling Wang, who couldn't bear it, she took out her dowry and private house for many years, and asked her parents' brothers to help buy three acres of wasteland under Yuehua Mountain. Three mud-thatched houses were built in each mu, and the remaining two mu were reclaimed from wasteland to grow some food that could support them. It is estimated that the three of Ling Jingxuan and his son would have died long ago.

call……

Thinking of this, Ling Jingxuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of turbidity. The original owner's life was really bloody, but he didn't have any sympathy for him. The poor birth, and the support of his parents for many years, he can live a good life, but since he was kicked out of the house, he has been in a daze, often saying that I am not a monster or something, immersed in self-pity and self-pity. In this world, he doesn't care about the lives of himself and his two sons at all. Even if he accepts his Yiyi, he has no idea what he was thinking about in the past five years, and the man who made his belly big, he only He vaguely felt a strong physique, hot body temperature, heavy breathing, and he didn't even know what the other party looked like. He really couldn't sympathize with such a person.

Daddy, we're here.

Um?

Ling Jingxuan, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't notice the changes around him at all, until the little bun's reminder sounded, he came back to his senses, and got rid of the messy pictures in his mind, Ling Jingxuan looked up and saw that one could only be called The river of the creek appeared in his sight, the back was densely covered with trees, and there were many green wild vegetables and weeds growing along the creek. Compared with the turbid water flow in the 21st century due to serious pollution, the water here was crystal clear. Small fish swimming in the water can see clearly.

Is this a tributary of Lingjiang?

Putting the wooden bucket on the ground, Ling Jingxuan rolled up his trousers and stepped into the water, the cold stream surrounding his feet, making people feel more comfortable.

I don't know. They said this is Yuehua Valley. This is the upper reaches. It is about to enter Yuehua Mountain. Usually no one comes here. We often go here with our grandparents to fetch water.

As Ling Wen spoke, he took his younger brother and walked over. The two of them looked at their father standing in the water with envy. Three-year-old children in Lingjia Village knew how to swim in water, but they didn't.

Yes, I won't talk about the previous Ling Jingxuan. Most of the Ling Chenglong couple came to help them with their old man behind their backs, and the Ling family didn't split up.

Hehe... do you want to come down?

At a glance, I could see what they were thinking, and the picture of Xiao Baozi saying that he wanted to catch fish for him to eat suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but have a gentle smile on his face.

Hmm...but we don't know how to drink water.

Hearing this, the two steamed buns nodded excitedly, their eyes became darker and brighter, but in the next second, the two of them lowered their heads and twisted their fingers in grievance. It's still very deep, more than enough to drown a little guy like them who can't swim.

I will, come on, Daddy will teach you.

Going ashore barefoot and walking in front of them, Ling Jingxuan looked around, and after confirming that there should be no one nearby, he took off the clothes on himself and the two little buns in three or two times. A slip of skin and bones, so thin that he almost fell out of shape.

Ah... It's so cold, Daddy, Daddy, it's so comfortable...

The little steamed bun was so excited as soon as he entered the water, his little hands tightly hugged Ling Jingxuan's thighs, and his little face, which was estimated to be only two fingers wide, showed a bright and innocent smile.

Father, quickly teach me mallard water, I want to learn mallard water.

Even the precocious bun looked excited, hugging his other leg and shaking vigorously, making Ling Jingxuan laugh: Okay, let's go to the middle, the water is too shallow here, come, follow Daddy. .

Holding a steamed bun in one hand, Ling Jingxuan stepped back towards them. The two steamed buns took each step cautiously and couldn't hide their excitement, their faces flushed red.

Okay, that's almost it, the water here is only as deep as your chest, I'll let go first, you learn to stand in the water, and then slowly bend your legs...

When the water reached the right depth, Ling Jingxuan tried to let go of their hands while talking, but the brothers were so frightened that they tugged at him and were unwilling to let go. Ling Jingxuan had no choice but to patiently guide them slowly, teaching them one by one. how they mallard water.

Haha...Dad, I know it, I know how to drink water, Daddy, look at it, I've learned how to drink water...

Children's learning ability is always amazing. In less than a quarter of an hour, Da Baozi learned to play mallard water, although it is only the lowest level of dog crawling.

Daddy, it's me, it's me...

Seeing this, the little bun pouted and shouted in dissatisfaction. Ling Jingxuan pulled him and said to the big bun, Don't swim to a place where the water is too deep, remember to apply water to your face.

Well, Daddy, teach Xiao Wu, I know what to do.

At the same age, Ling Wen already has the demeanor of an eldest brother. He does not forget to care about his younger brother's feelings anytime and anywhere. He is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed and warm. Ling Jingxuan nodded, turned around and concentrated on teaching the little bun, and when he also learned to crawl Ling Jingxuan helped them to wash their bodies and remove all the dirt from their bodies. The little face hidden under the dirt was unexpectedly beautiful. Ling Jingxuan nodded with joy. The only thing that made him not squeamish was , the two buns are too thin, which also strengthened his determination to make them into super meat buns.
