Farming at the beginning, I rely on business to counterattack and become a princess

Chapter 4 Taoist Exorcism
One day, several women led a Taoist priest to Wen Xiang's house, and set up the altar to practice without saying a word.

Wen Xiang was forcibly dragged to the yard by the women and pushed to the ground. The Taoist danced around her muttering to himself, and beat her several times with a wooden sword, and then splashed her all over her body. Blood.

Dog blood is nothing, after the Taoist priest finished playing the big show, he even boiled a bowl of talisman water for her.

The surrounding circle is full of women who are looking down and coveting. It is very likely that if Wen Xiang resists, they will violently attack others.

When the enemy was strong and we were weak, Wen Xiang could only pick up the bowl of black talisman water tremblingly, turned around and poured half of the water on his body, covered the bowl with his sleeves and went back a little, the last time He poured it into his mouth cruelly.

Wow!Choking!It happened to be a hysterical cough, and almost all of it was sprayed out, and immediately fell to the ground and pretended to be dead after coughing.

"Little sister——" Brother Wen Dao, who had been observing the progress of the exorcism, immediately broke through the encirclement of the woman and rescued Wen Xiang.

"It's okay, it's okay, the demon has been killed by me, so you can rest assured." The shameless Taoist said nonsense seriously.

"Then when will my little sister wake up?" Wen Dao asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, wait for me to take a look." The Taoist said and was about to squeeze over.

Wen Xiang and Wen Yan immediately groaned, slowly opened their eyes, looked at Wen with teary eyes and said, "Brother, what's wrong with me?"

At the moment of life and death, the acting skills are bursting.

"Little sister, you scared big brother." Wen Dao couldn't help but also wet his eyes, after all, he was physically and mentally exhausted after tossing around for half a year.

"It smells good."

"Okay, okay, let me say that this Taoist priest is very good."

At this moment, everyone wept with joy.

In the end, the Taoist left contentedly with Wen's family's fifty cents.

The women in the village also felt at ease, and no longer had to worry about the monsters next door would harm their family. After expressing their blessings to the Wen family brothers and sisters, the brothers and sisters were left crying.

Since then, Wen Xiang has learned from the pain and basically accepted the cruel fact of the death of the main body, and no longer dares to toss about it at will. After all, life is important, and if I am not sober, I am afraid that I will be set on fire by the villagers for barbecue.

I believe that if you are sacrificed to heaven, you will never be able to return home, and you will die in a miserable state and in great pain.

So she told her elder brother that because she hurt her head, she couldn't remember the family affairs and people around her clearly, and she hoped that her elder brother and sister would explain it in detail.

Seeing that the lost and recovered girl is so well-behaved, Wen Dao naturally responds to every request, answering whatever she asks.

The gossip woman has already talked about the situation of Wen's family once before, and now Wen Dao tells it again, which is nothing new. It is roughly:

The Wen family's parents separated from the family in the early years and lived alone. Although most of the property remained in the family, the Wen family also shared a row of three-bedroom houses and four acres of land. The two lived a good life relying on their hardworking hands.

Wen Dao has been studying in the school, and he has taken several government examinations, but he is not listed on the list. The partial birth parents insisted on supporting him, thinking that he must be honored in high school, so that he can talk about a good marriage at that time.

At the beginning of this year, the parents encountered a flash flood and both died.So far, Wen Dao can only leave his books and go home to farm. Now his only source of income is the four acres of land left by his parents.

After her parents passed away, Wen Xiang began to help her elder brother with some heavy physical work; however, the work in the field was heavy, and Wen Dao was reluctant to let her sister work too hard, so she mainly did it by herself.

But it got off to a bad start. Wen Xiang almost lost his life just going up the mountain to collect firewood, so Wen Dao said: "Little sister, don't go to the mountains anymore, just do some small work at home, don't worry about the rest, everything is safe Brother."

Holding the mentality of what comes and goes, Wen Xiang summed up the current situation:

Both parents of the original owner died, which means that without the protection of adults, the lonely brothers and sisters are very likely to be taken advantage of by the villagers; the eldest brother is a nerd and does not know how to farm, and there is a risk that the fields will not be harvested. Taxes, lack of food, do you go to the streets to beg?Or sold into slavery?
No matter which one it is, it is very dangerous in the village.

Sure enough, on the second day after Wen Xiang was exorcised, the head of the security guard Shi Shiran came to the door, and the first sentence he said when he entered the door was: "Wen Dao, next summer it will be your turn to be a corvee."

"Baochang, didn't you just send us home the year before last? Why did you come to us again?"

"You don't know, many families have paid to be exempted from corvee. Now it's your family's turn again. You can pay if you don't want to go."

"How much will it cost?" Wen Dao used to concentrate on studying, and his parents never let him worry about corvee, so he didn't know at all.

"Not much, only three taels of silver, how about it?"

Hearing that three taels of silver was required, Wen Dao frowned tightly:

My family originally had some savings, but firstly, it cost a lot of money to bury my parents, and secondly, I was only studying in my early years, and I didn’t know much about farming, so I didn’t know much about farming.

Furthermore, the little girl broke her head again and watched the doctor take medicine frequently.

After this series of events, the family didn't even have three taels of silver left over.

Seeing Bao Chang walk away, Wen Dao's face was very ugly. He couldn't believe how many people would be able to pay to avoid corvee.

It's true that he is a nerd, but he also knows that not everyone can afford three taels of silver. If his family can't afford it, then half of the families in the village can't afford it either.

Baochang has always been at odds with their family, and it is entirely possible that he deliberately punished them.

what to do?Are you going to trouble your uncle again?Forget it, the eldest aunt's face is already ugly, at worst, I'll go and deal with the corvee by myself.

It's just that if he leaves home by himself, he won't be relieved that his little sister will have no one to take care of her.

Wen Xiang watched Wen Dao worried for a while, and frowned for a while, feeling that something was wrong.

"What's the matter? Don't we have three liang of silver in our family?"

"It's okay, you don't need to worry about it, the elder brother will take care of it." Wen Dao said casually, he didn't want the younger sister to worry about it.

However, even if Wen Dao doesn't say anything, Wen Xiang has a solution, and she quickly got the answer from her neighbor Chun'er next door.

"The security chief must have done it on purpose. How could it be your family's turn so quickly, and our family's turn hasn't come yet."

Although Chun'er was very aggrieved, there was nothing she could do. Her family was worse than Wen Xiang's, and it was impossible to fight against the security chief, and of course it was impossible to "sacrifice oneself for others".

Just want to live a good life, this thief God just won't let you have a good life.

Wen Xiang was very angry, that saboteur was clearly out to retaliate, what should I do?
Is it useful to make a fuss?First of all, other villagers may not support their brothers and sisters. Obviously, if their brothers and sisters do not have to go to corvee, then the quota of corvee must fall on other villagers.

Due to human nature, no one wants to be a corvee, so it is not surprising that people do not support their siblings. I guess they are only lucky that their family did not offend the security chief.

Without the support of the villagers, there would be no pressure from public opinion, and it would be impossible for them to defeat Baochang.

So direct brute force will not work at all.

So can I just go to the corvee?I heard that the physical work of the elder brother who went to do the corvee was hard, and if he stayed in the village by himself, wouldn't he be rubbed round and flattened by others?What if she is turned into a child bride or sold to a bad old man?Isn't that a break?

No, you must get three taels of silver.

Where to get money?

Wen Xiang looked around Wen's house, there were only a few belongings, except for a few pieces of old furniture, there was nothing else she wanted, not even a single thing that could be sent to the pawn shop, she was so anxious that she couldn't sleep well for a few days.

But Wen Xiang calmed down very quickly, there is still half a year until next year's corvee, there is no rush, there is still room for maneuver.

Trees are moved to death, people are moved to live, she thought to herself: I, a 985 graduate, can still suffocate to death, just because I have studied hard for more than ten years as a student, it will be a matter of time before I overthrow you.

However, before showing off your supernatural powers, you still need to do field research first. As the great man said, without investigation, you have no right to speak.

In the next period of time, Wen Xiang will rest at home or visit houses in the village, mainly to spy on information and find out the background information of this world. After all, only by gaining a firm foothold can we find another way out, right?
Whenever she saw a group of women gathered together, she would step forward to pretend to be well-behaved, or help others peel beans, or learn how to mend clothes.

Of course, just listen but don’t talk, don’t blind BB if you don’t understand, if you have any questions, you can go home and ask your elder brother; how unreliable and mentally handicapped questions, elder brother will take the trouble to answer seriously, for fear of being wronged accidentally I lost my little sister, or I was afraid that she would be treated as a monster again.

The village where Wen's family lives has hundreds of families, it is considered a big village, more than 60.00% of the people in the village are named Wen, and they are more or less related.

The power of the Wen family clan has grown, and Lizheng is the head of the Wen clan. The last time he led a team to exorcise Wen Xiang forcibly, was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen clan, Sun Shi.

Wendao's great-grandfather and patriarch's father are of the same clan, except that the patriarch's lineage is Dazong, and Wendao's great-grandfather is Xiaozong, and later only his grandfather left a single seedling to inherit this lineage of Dazong.

Wen Dao's grandfather gave birth to his uncle Wen Zhong to inherit the Dazong, and Wen Dao's father became the Xiaozong, which branched again.

Therefore, the Wen family is really just a branch of the Wen family. They can be regarded as relatives, or not, but they are all members of the clan; when their parents were there, they lived a decent life.

Wen Xiang is a child who grew up in the village. She knew that if she didn't find a way quickly, more and more people would step on them.

If you say that you are No. [-] Pujie, then the elder brother Wen Dao, who has no hope of going to school and is not good at farming, is No. [-] Pujie.

It's fine if you hit the streets in your previous life, but in this life you'll also hit the streets?With the wealth of knowledge I have mastered, it is only natural that I can thrive in this backward world?
So, here comes the question: How can two people who have no money in their families counterattack their lives?
After thinking about it, Wen Xiang finally decided to seek survival first and then seek development.Speaking of survival, there is no light here, and it is dark at night, and the weak light of the oil lamp can only illuminate a small area. Fortunately, her eyes are not short-sighted, otherwise she would have difficulty walking.

There is no toilet, no bathroom, no soap, no toothpaste, no everything, no daily necessities, not to mention computers and mobile phones; as a stay-at-home woman in modern society, it is really difficult to live here.

She originally wanted to start with the most urgent and not too complicated problem, such as ordering toothbrushes and toothpaste first, maybe they could sell some money.

But the hair needed to make toothbrushes is not available here. The only possible source of hair in the village is bristle hair. Unfortunately, her family does not have pigs. To make toothpaste, you need some Chinese medicinal materials. In short, you have to be rich.

Throughout the year, the family spends most of the time drinking brown rice porridge with steamed buns, and the remaining half of the time only has rice, so don't count on meat.

Although Wen Xiang has a sister-in-law elder brother, she eats all the good things at home first; but that’s it, it’s okay to eat simple food and clear the stomach. If you eat like this for many years, you will obviously be malnourished and underdeveloped. .
