the next day,
After having breakfast, Mo Lan went to the front yard to visit the wounded who had been rescued, but before she got close, her older brother stopped her.
"Uncle Lin is changing his dressing. Please wait outside for a moment."
Seeing Hua Fengyu blocking his way, Mo Lan raised an eyebrow. If he knew that the guy had bandaged his own wounds last night, he wondered what kind of expression he would have.
A moment later, Uncle Lin came out carrying a worn-out medicine box, looking rather unwell.
"Uncle Lin, how are you? Are you awake?"
"Wake up? It's a miracle you survived such severe injuries. You probably won't wake up for at least three to five days." Uncle Lin shook his head, picked up his medicine box, and left.
Mo Lan walked into the room and looked at the person on the bed. Compared to yesterday when he was barely breathing, he was much better.
Its vitality is truly remarkable.
"Judging from this person's physical characteristics, he belongs to the people from beyond the Great Wall. If he wakes up, we should send him away as soon as possible. I've heard that the people from beyond the Great Wall are fierce and ruthless, and keeping him around would be detrimental to the village," Hua Fengyu said softly, standing next to Mo Lan.
“We saved him, how could he not distinguish between good and bad and repay kindness with enmity?” Song Jian reminded her of this yesterday, and now that her elder brother is acting this way, Mo Lan is a little curious.
Do outsiders not distinguish right from wrong?
"Lan'er, you don't know this, but those people beyond the Great Wall are naturally barbaric, eating raw meat and drinking blood. I've heard that some tribes still eat raw meat even now... Moreover, they seem to be inherently hostile to us inside the Great Wall, and we simply can't get along."
As Hua Fengyu spoke, seeing Mo Lan's surprised expression, he coughed and said, "Of course, not all outsiders are like that, it's just that we don't understand their character and it's not advisable to take the risk."
With so many elderly and children in the village, it's not wise to risk taking in a dangerous person.
Mo Lan nodded, "That's true. Don't worry, brother. Now that trade with the outside world is open, many people from beyond the Great Wall often come into the country. I've seen many people from beyond the Great Wall doing business in Ye County these past few times. Apart from their rugged appearance, they're not scary at all."
"But brother's reminder is right. We don't know this person's background. Now that we've brought him back, as long as he can move around, we can let him leave."
If this person dares to show the slightest disrespect, she will make him suffer even more than he does now.
"Okay, I'll listen to Lan'er." Hua Fengyu said, turning around and going out, still sitting on the veranda reading a book.
"By the way, brother, how's the land reclamation going behind White Tiger Cliff?"
"Don't worry, Lan'er. With your fourth and second uncles watching over things, everyone takes turns cultivating the land, so it's very efficient."
In addition, the remaining apprentices are all skilled farmers. With their guidance, they will no longer need to buy grain within a year.
"That's good. I'll go to Ye County to buy some more seeds and plant winter wheat before winter comes, so we can eat white flour buns next year."
Since I arrived at the village, I've noticed that white flour steamed buns are rarely seen. They're mostly made from flour ground from various coarse grains, which is quite rough on the throat.
Fortunately, she has a good, easygoing nature; otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to adapt.
"Winter wheat?" Hua Fengyu looked at Mo Lan in surprise. "Won't the seedlings freeze to death if sown in winter?"
Mo Lan: "..."
Is there no winter wheat here?
Hua Fengyu and Mo Lan stared at each other in surprise for a while before Mo Lan finally spoke to confirm something.
When do you usually plant wheat here?
"In spring, it's between February and March, but sometimes if the weather is bad, it might be delayed until April."
