The flat fields were mottled in color, yellow wheat fields, harvested brown soil, green weeds mixed in between, and there were white smoke from roasted wheat piles among the ridges. Qin Liang was riding a brown horse on the road, still patrolling the arable land of the Qin family's manor.

He was not in a hurry to change such a peaceful life, but he vaguely felt in his heart that the time for change would come sooner or later.

"Rumbling..." A muffled thunder came from the north. Qin Liang followed the sound and saw a dark cloud shrouded in the sky, as if it was about to rain, but it had not fallen.

There was a large field in that direction, which originally belonged to the Qin family, but a large part of it was occupied by the Zhongchang family west of Wang Wenghe. This kind of land dispute is usually easy to resolve. Most of the local wealthy families are subordinates in counties and counties. Everyone looks up and sees each other and can always discuss it. But this matter has never been achieved. The trouble is that Zhongchang family is from Qinghe County next door.

This matter also caused controversy in the county, and the matter became more complicated.

At this moment, a noise came from afar, with vague laughter from a man and a woman's scolding. Qin Liang kicked the horse's belly lightly and rushed to watch.

Soon he recognized that the woman surrounded by three sides was Dong's family on the Qin family manor!

A young man riding a horse was wearing a long single dress called a squid, with a long hair and a crown. He looked not very old, but his hat was at least twenty years old. There were two teenage servants standing in different directions, throwing a sack bag around. But Dong did not snatch the cloth bag, but wanted to escape. As soon as she took a step, the servant immediately opened his arms and stopped him, and even laughed "Yo, hehehe" from his mouth.

Qin Liang approached and stopped the horse without saying a word.

"Erlang!" Dong's eyes showed hope.

The young man wearing brocade trousers looked at Qin Liang and ignored him. The two servants looked sideways and continued to stop Dong's escape.

Qin Liang said, "Don't let go?" After saying that, he saw that there was no use and he understood that these were unreasonable people. Qin Liang took his horse forward, waved his whip and hit him. A servant screamed in pain, covering his face while dodging, and finally "listened" such language.

Dong took the opportunity to run towards Qin Liang.

The young man with brocade suddenly looked angry and looked up at the silk clothes on Qin Liang's body, "Please be soft and let me make this slave so we can talk."

Qin Liang said: "I'm afraid it won't work."

The young man snorted, "Are you the second child of the Qin family?"

Qin Liang replied, "Who are you from the Zhong family? Are you shameless when you teased a good woman in broad daylight?"

The young man said disdainfully: "Isn't it just a slave?"

At this time, Dong actually retorted: "I am not your slave."

The woman had just escaped danger and dared to speak, but she was a bit stingy.

The young man said annoyed, "Put down the horse and beat me!" The two servants looked at the whip in Qin Liang's hand and were slowing down. The young man became even more angry when he saw this and suddenly drew out his sword.

Qin Liang had no weapons and was about to slap the horse before he saw the young man rushing up with his sword high, and his posture of holding the sword was not very stable. Qin Liang changed his mind temporarily, tightened his legs and rushed forward to control the horse. Seeing the opportunity, he grabbed the young man's wrist with both hands and pounced him off the horse.

The young man had just sat up from the grass and immediately closed his chin, looking nervously at the blade that had reached the neck for some reason, his face pale: "Don't move!"

Qin Liang snorted and sneered.

The young man laughed angrily and said, "Why just fight for a slave, and you won't be killed?"

Qin Liang withdrew his sword and poked it to the ground.

The young man got up and grabbed his sword, ran back to the horse, got on the horse and ran a few steps, suddenly turned around and said, "Don't be arrogant, I don't understand that you can laugh for a few days, let's take a look!"

Qin Liang saw his humble performance, and didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, so he blurted out: "I have the face to say that others are arrogant!"

After hearing this, the young man was even more angry than Qin Liang and kept turning back and said, "Wait for me, do you think it's more reliable than Qin Lang?"

Qin Liang ignored it and grabbed the reins and turned the horse's head.

The disputed county boundary in this area is obviously unreasonable. From the Qin family territory in Pingyuan County to the county town, he actually had to pass through the boundary of Qinghe County. Otherwise, the Dong family might not have met those three evil men.

Mrs. Dong picked up the sackcloth bag from the ground and patted the soil on it. Her eyes were shiny. She quietly turned her head to avoid Qin Liang and wiped her tears with her sleeves. The sackcloth bag in her hand might be the medicinal materials she bought from the county town.

Sure enough, Dong opened the cloth bag, which contained medicinal materials, which had been soaked in water, or had been thrown around before and fell into the puddle. Her tears flowed directly to her cheeks and wiped them hard with the patched sleeves.

Qin Liang felt pity when he saw all this from Yu Guangli, and knew that her family was already in a difficult situation. Dong's husband was Wang Kang, who turned out to be a farmer on the manor, but after Wang Kang fell ill, he was no longer valuable to the master's family. Obviously, the family had been unable to sustain it.

However, Qin Liang said in a casual tone after a while: "The doctor of the county town must be much more skillful in medical skills. Is the prescription he gave still there? Let's take a look."

Dong silently took out three bamboo slips and handed them over. Qin Liang did not look at it and put it directly into his arms.

The two returned to the village surrounded by earthen walls. Qin Liang went straight home and found the shopkeeper who was in charge of the warehouse. He took some medicine according to the prescription on the wooden slip, and then went to Dong's home.

The tile house is very simple, but it can be seen that it is still much spacious than the thatched houses where farmers live. After passing the main hall, a small courtyard was built with earth and stone behind it. Dong and an old woman welcomed Qin Liang into the house. The old woman was the mother of Zhuangke Wang Kang, who was holding a stick. She seemed to have bad legs and feet. Qin Liang explained his purpose and put down the medicinal materials in his hand.

The two old and young women thanked each other very much, and the old women were muttering to go to make tea. Qin Liang responded to a few words and was about to leave. Only then did he realize that there was a dense and crisp sound on the roof of the tiles, and it suddenly started to rain outside. Lightning flashed, and the dark clouds seemed even more dim.

Qin Liang felt it was going to rain early this morning, and it finally came down now.

Qin Liang walked past the main hall and stood under the eaves of the backyard. Seeing the sudden rapid rain, lightning and thunder in the air, he thought to himself: Well, there is nothing wrong all day, so he just fulfilled the old woman's kindness. Drink a bowl of hot tea, and wait until the rain is getting lighter, then borrow a straw hat to go back.

Seeing the empty room next to him was open with straw mats and old wooden tables inside, he walked in. He took out the prescription and bamboo slips in his arms and placed them on it. He knelt down and watched the rain, still thinking about what he was doing.

After a while, Dong came in with a wooden plate. She knelt beside Qin Liang, and then reached out to the tea bowl in the wooden plate.

Qin Liang found that her face with lowered eyes was very unnatural, but he didn't say anything, and it was still alright. Dong took advantage of the time when he put down the tea bowl and glanced at Qin Liang's face quickly, and immediately dodged away.

Of course she couldn't see any clues. Qin Liang's mentality was very stable. He was a human being in his second life. Now he almost had a sense of confidence that arises from a good heart. He basically accepted himself, including his strengths and weaknesses, ugly and beautiful things, and would not fantasize about becoming anyone else, nor would he want to express himself too much, especially in front of women.

This calmness seemed to make Dong even more nervous. With a light "clang", the big bowl almost didn't steadily.

The atmosphere was strange, even though the two of them hadn't said a word yet.

The dark clouds outside were shrouded in the rainstorm covered all colors. In this dark room, Dong's white skin and light red lips were indeed more attractive, and the gray cloth's chest was also very beautiful. Qin Liang even vaguely smelled a faint fragrance, perhaps just an illusion caused by his strong blood.

"Er, Erlang." Dong's voice trembled slightly, "How should I repay Erlang's benefits?"

After all, this woman has married someone, so she turns her initiative into passiveness when she speaks.

Qin Liang got up from the mat without pretending to be confused, hinting, "I'm still filial."

"No outsiders know." Dong looked up at him, his eyes full of shame for fear of rejection, and said, "This is also what A Gu (mother-in-law), the good man means."

Qin Liang sighed, and her emotions were also complicated by her. Then he thought that his pity was indeed easy to make people misunderstand, and his tone slowed down, "Take me to see Wang Kang."

He walked out of the room first, and Dong had to follow him.

The two soon arrived in a dark bedroom with a window on the wall, but it was just a hole in the smallest place. The sky was not good outside and the light was very dark. After adapting for a while, Qin Liang saw clearly that the thin man on the bed was open with his eyes open, but his eyes were dull.

"Wang Kang." Qin Liang bent down and called out.

The man turned his head and seemed to have just come back. He realized it after a while and was about to struggle. "Why is Erlang coming?"

In contrast, Qin Liang's clothes and hair were neat. Qin Liang reached out and pressed Wang Kang's shoulder lightly, "Send some medicinal materials here, I took them from the warehouse in the manor. I remember you were literate and had been in charge of the warehouse. You should know that there are medicinal materials in the warehouse inventory."

"This..." Wang Kang said, "I heard from Zhujing that you offended the people of Zhong Chang's family in order to save Zhujing. The wheat was recovered a few days ago, thanks to Jun, who went to the field to work in person. Alas, I am a useless person."

Qin Liang patted his shoulder and said, "With me here, don't worry too much about the rest. Be sure to recover from the illness. Our family is still waiting for you to serve. In fact, the people in this farm are all considered a big family."

Wang Kang looked at Qin Liang in a daze. Qin Liang's eyes still did not avoid, and he looked at him gently, with a very calm expression.

"Erlang!" Wang Kang suddenly became a little excited and struggled a few more times. "If the servant saves his life, he will be entrusted with his wealth and life, and will be in vain and repay the kindness of your unyielding one's grace."

"I'm waiting for you to report." Qin Liang nodded.

He stood up straight, sighed for a moment, muttering, "There is too much pain in the world." At this time, he found that Dong was looking at him, his eyes a little lost.

Qin Liang walked straight out of the bedroom and when he came to the door of the main hall, he found that the rain outside was indeed lighter. He didn't care about the two old and young people who were sent out. He saw a hat beside the door, picked it up and put it on his head, lifted his feet and stepped out of the threshold.
