Chapter 352 Give Me Two More Ounces of Wine
As the matter drew to a close, the official taking notes was trembling.
Three hundred and twenty-three pregnant women!
At the time of the investigation, only fifty or so cases were found, which was already alarming. Now it has been discovered that there are as many as three hundred missing pregnant women!
How many pregnant women were harmed during that entire Dagan campaign?
And then there were the drug servants who were tricked into doing live experiments...
In the bedroom, Lu Qingqing finished reading the records and closed her eyes.
"I want to be a judge of the human world, to cleanse the universe and purify it of its impurities!"
Who wants to come with me?
"This old disciple fears nothing and vows to follow his master to the death!" Old Pang was the first to step forward.
Si Xi was half a step behind when he was overtaken.
He quickly seized the second step: "Eldest disciple Lu Sixi, follow your master closely!"
"I'm willing to follow, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"
"Me too!"
Qiaoxiu and Hong the midwife spoke at the same time.
"Alright, then let's wield silver needles in our left hands and swords in our right! Let's cleanse the medical community of evil spirits and calamities!"
"Cleanse away evil spirits and eradicate wickedness!"
Ji Ruyan entered the room.
Dressed in a blue and white outfit, with a graceful and imposing presence, he stepped forward and tied a talisman around her waist.
"Are you leaving?" Lu Qingqing's clear eyes reflected the man's figure.
Old Pang, being quite perceptive, led everyone out.
"I'm sorry, I can't be there for you to recover from your injury."
"I know they've been urging you several times already, hurry up and go."
"The nation comes first, then the family."
Lu Qingqing hadn't prepared anything; she had already given him the most life-saving medicine.
She rummaged through her bag and found five or six more pieces of candy, which she stuffed into his arms.
The man grabbed the back of her head and lowered his head to cover hers.
...
Xiahe Village, Ming'an County.
Mu Daye bought a cartload of rice, grains, and other necessities.
Mother Mu rubbed her old eyes for a long time in the small vegetable garden by the door before she dared to confirm it.
Isn't that her simple-minded son?
Look at them now, so impressive, I almost don't recognize them!
"Daye is back! Liuer, Liuer..."
She threw down the hoe and ran into the house.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came out together again.
Mu Daye carried three bags of rice and seven or eight chickens as he walked into the house.
Their eyes met, then they looked away as if they'd been burned.
"Mother, our lord has asked me to come back for one night and leave tomorrow morning."
"Just one night?"
Mu's mother was in distress.
But her son is now a general, a great hero who saved Ming'an County.
Now we have to go save others.
So she can't stop her; she should be happy.
"My son, your lord has asked you to come back and stay for one night. You should understand what he means, right?"
While Liu'er went to help get things, Mother Mu quietly asked.
"Yes," Mu Daye mumbled in response.
Mother Mu smiled with satisfaction.
He said he understood, but when he got back he went to chop wood, boil water, and fence the chickens.
After finishing all that, I went out again.
"Silly bear!"
Mother Mu was so angry that she cursed again.
"Liu'er, give Yuanyuan to your mother. I'll hold her to sleep tonight."
"good."
Liu'er replied and went inside to tidy up.
The shoes and clothes made for men were all neatly packed away.
The kang (heated brick bed) was remade, and a new set of pillows and quilts were taken out.
Mu Daye didn't return until after dinner.
“Mother, I’ve already spoken with the village head and the neighbors. They’ll all help out at home. You and Liu’er shouldn’t push yourselves. If you can’t do the work in the fields, just rent them out to others.”
"It's none of your business!" Mother Mu said in a harsh tone.
"Go inside and go to sleep!"
As he spoke, he pushed the person into the house.
"You're going to the battlefield again, and we don't know when you'll be back. Tonight, Liu'er must get pregnant!"
"..."
Liu'er and Mu Daye both froze.
Mu Daye hurried to open the door, but his mother had blocked it from the outside with a stick.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Yuanyuan is still so young!"
"You're not a child anymore! You're already a year old! If you have another one, I can raise it!"
"mother!"
"Daye," Liu'er called softly.
"Don't worry your mother. Didn't we used to sleep on the same kang (heated brick bed)?"
"oh."
Mu Daye turned around and took out a talisman from his pocket.
"I prayed to the temple in the city with the Lord. I heard it's very effective. Here you go."
Liu'er took the amulet. "I also sewed you some shoes. Try them on."
...
After blowing out the candles, the two went to bed.
"Da Ye, do you despise me?"
"How could that be? I'm afraid you'll look down on me. I'm not good-looking, and I have a scar on my face."
"What men care about is face; what they value is honesty and competence."
"You have real talent. If you become a great general, money and beautiful women will be within your grasp."
Mu Daye sat up and stared intently at Liu'er's face in the darkness.
"No, I've always considered you my wife. I joined the army for you."
If you are willing to wait for me, once the war is over, I will return and marry you in glory.
"In that case, I don't want to wait," Liu'er said.
Mu Daye felt a pang of pain in his heart, and his taut shoulders slumped.
Still not working?
"Why wait? I am your wife."
The woman stretched out her two soft arms and wrapped them around his neck.
Full of fragrance.
...
He Zhibang was dead, and Xu Hengzhi was promoted three ranks and transferred to be the prefect.
He began to take drastic measures to rectify the unhealthy practices in the prefectural city and various counties.
Another order was issued to reclaim privately owned forests and clear them all for medicinal herb cultivation!
Once the matter in the prefectural city is resolved, the problem of Qushan's rebellion will also be resolved.
In Ming'an County, all the teachers and students of Wensong Academy came to the small Liuyun Village.
They made a big show of inviting Qushan back.
Qu Shan looked at the more than twenty children squatting on the ground outside his door, practicing calligraphy with tree branches, and shook his head.
“The academy doesn’t need me, but these children need a good teacher.”
He said to the vice president, "I've lived most of my life and only now do I understand one thing."
A tree that has already been pruned and grown to a considerable size will only be further watered and pruned, which is like adding wings to a tiger or icing on the cake.
It's far more meaningful to cultivate a young seedling, prune it, and nurture it into a healthy plant.
"Look at these children, just a few days ago they were cursing and teasing chickens and dogs, but now they know how to be filial, polite, and humble..."
Before the words were even finished, the two children started hurling insults at each other:
"Your mother..."
"Your father..."
"You son of a bitch..."
"Your ancestors for eight generations!"
Vice Dean: "..."
Qu Shan: "These two trees haven't been repaired yet."
As he spoke, he took a stick and smacked each of them on the buttocks.
"Wang Xiaoshun! Wang Xiaofa! You two, go up and count three generations back to find you share the same ancestor! You're both so stupid! Go stand at the back as punishment!"
The vice dean and the students were dumbfounded.
Dean Qu, who has always been distinguished and dignified, suddenly bristled and started cursing.
It really feels so familiar...
It felt like I was meeting my childhood mentor.
"Mr. Qu, don't go!"
Liu Lizheng came running over, howling, followed by some villagers.
"Mr. Qu, the children are so happy to have just learned to write their own names. We've gathered some more eggs for you. Could you perhaps continue teaching them for a while longer?"
Don't be so ridiculous. Do you really think a few eggs can keep Dean Qu around?
The students cried out anxiously, "Dean, we need you too!"
Liu Lizheng handed the basket to Qu Shan, saying, "Teach him again, teach him again."
Mr. Qu is highly learned, and it is a blessing for these children to teach him for a period of time.
"What a joke! You think you can get me to stay with just a basket of eggs?" Qu Shan's beard twitched with displeasure.
"At least give me two more ounces of wine. I'm in a good mood tonight and would like to have a couple of drinks."
"It's not just about alcohol!"
A clear and melodious female voice rang out.
Lu Qingqing's eyes were bright and clear, and she looked elegant and refined in a long green dress as she strode over.
"If I said I wanted to build a large private school in Liuyun Village, children from the surrounding villages could come and attend classes for free. The teacher's tuition would be covered by the pharmaceutical workshop, and they could receive free pens, ink, and paper each month based on their excellent grades."
How long can such a private school keep Mr. Qu?
