12. Contradictions

When they arrived at Muyun and Mu Zhao's room, they were filled with sorrow. With such heavy rain, the harvest in the fields will be gone in the second half of the year. The winter wheat has just been sown not long ago and has just sprouted.

"Uncle Mu, aunt." Chen Chen spoke to the two of them, then took out the small cloth bag, "This is the kid's wish, please accept it."

Mu Yun didn't know what was in the cloth bag. When he took it, he found that it was fifteen-weight metal. His face turned pale. Looking at Chen Chen, his breathing suddenly dropped.

Chen Chen swallowed, not knowing what was going on, it was so good, did he react like this when he saw that it was Jinzi? Even Mu Zhao's face turned ugly.

"Do you think Asheng saved you to repay me?" Mu Yun said coldly, suppressing his anger. If Chen Chen was not a child, Mu Yun would have cursed at this time.

"Of course not!" Chen Chen said quickly, "This is just a little thank you to your uncle and aunt, that's all."

"That's all? Use gold to defile Asheng's kindness?" Mu Yun cursed, "If so, you will leave my Mu family now. My Mu family will never care about your fifteenth hardware!"

"Uncle Mu!" Chen Chen didn't know where he was wrong. Mu Yun meant that he had taken the wrong hardware? Is he insulting them?

"Xiao Chenchen, you make us so sad." Mu Zhao sighed, "We just saved you and gave you some food and clothing. You actually got so much gold, which has defiled our thoughts."

Chen Chen was confused. Is this true that there are different values? Well, Chen Chen was thinking about not owing the Mu family, but how could money be measured for saving lives? Fifteen-metals have a lot of money in this era.

Chen Chen sighed, "Don't blame Uncle Mu and Aunt. The boy came here, thanks to Brother Asheng to save him. Otherwise, he would have been buried in a snake's belly at this time. The clothes he wore were also the hard work of his aunt. How could he bear it if he had no relatives and the Mu family? This gold was saved by me by Zhao Zheng's diagnosis money. It was obtained by the boy's wisely by his own skills, not by unknown origin. What's more, the boy took out this fifteenth gold and never thought of insulting his uncle and aunt, but he felt that his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all the kindness of the Mu family, and he was unwilling to let go and did not have any offense."

Chen Chen originally didn't want to owe the Mu family, but he caused such a big joke. At least, in the eyes of the upright ancients, saving people was a matter of course and he could not ask for compensation.

At this time, Mu Yun's face looked a little better, because Chen Chen did not intentionally offend him. Moreover, Chen Chen is still young after all, and his children make mistakes, of course, it is easier to be forgiven. "I, Mu Yun, will never accept these gold, you can take them back!"

Chen Chen sighed and nodded, "Yes." He took the small cloth bag.

"Okay, OK, you've got such a big fire that scared Xiao Chenchen." Mu Zhao quickly calmed down the atmosphere, and then looked outside sadly, "I don't know when the rain will stop."

"Yes, if this continues, all the wheat in the field will drown." Asheng spoke, with anxiety.

"Hey." Mu Yun just sighed. The farmers of this era can only rely on the weather for their meals. If the weather is good, it would be fine. If they can have a full New Year. If there is a little disaster, they might have to leave their hometown.

Chen Chen suddenly realized the meaning of his coming to this world. Isn’t it just to let the people have clothes and food to eat, and even in a disaster year, they can survive? People who study medicine have the intention to save the world. What’s more, although Confucianism at this time has not yet become the mainstream idea, Chen Chen grew up under such influence, "If you have great success, you can help the world."

If the rain continues for a few days, I am afraid that the people in this area will suffer from disaster.

"Okay, it's so heavy that I can't travel. You all go back and rest." Mu Yun said, and Asheng carried Chen Chen out again.

Chen Chen sighed helplessly. He never thought that there would be floods in Handan because he did not know how many times the Yellow River changed courses in history. Historical records show that in the fifth year of King Ding of Zhou (602 BC), the Yellow River broke in Junxian, Henan, causing the Yellow River to be diverted. It passed through Puyang, Qingfeng, Nanle and Handan's Daming and Guantao, and it spread to Tianjin into the sea in the northeast. It went to the Warring States Period, Wei, Zhao and Qi to start building embankments to defend themselves, entering the territory of Handan Daming, and winding hundreds of miles northeastward. Since then, the Yellow River has a relatively fixed river channel.

Therefore, at this time, the Yellow River flows through Handan.

Chen Chen looked up at the sky. The rain would probably not stop for a while. "Brother Asheng, is there any wood at home? It can be made into a raft."

Asheng shook his head, "The wood in the house is all new wood, and the water is not deep enough, so it is useless."

Chen Chen was helpless. At this time, if there were kayaks or something, it would be much better? Fortunately, the people's houses had not yet flowed in. Because Handan was against the Yellow River, the people generally built higher when building houses.

"Brother Asheng, is there enough food at home?"

"Enough, don't worry, little brother." Asheng smiled, still feeling sad in his eyes. Although he made Chen Chen feel relieved, he was still worried, after all, the field was their harvest for the year.

"Brother Asheng, do you go to the town on weekdays?" Chen Chen asked. Although it was only the third day in this era, he still wanted to travel thousands of miles, but his legs were inconvenient at this time.

Asheng nodded, "If I catch prey on weekdays, I will go to the town with my dad."

“Is the town rich in resources?”

"Of course, this is the capital of Zhao State after all." Asheng replied, "The products are naturally abundant. If you rain so heavily, you are afraid that the river will burst the dam."

"Brother Asheng, how much can I buy in fifteenth hardware?" Chen Chen was not very clear about the purchasing power of gold.

"A lot." A Sheng said, "You can buy a lot of things with just one gold medal. Do you want to go to the town?"

"Well, but it's so heavy."

"Even if you buy something, you can't get it back."

Suddenly, Chen Chen saw a man riding a horse in the rain in the distance. It was Zhao Zheng’s guard. Chen Chen asked him to buy pork bones and pork liver. Yes, there are horses! Of course, there are cows!

"My brother, it's Mr. Zhao's guard." Asheng said, "It must have been bought back."

"Well, Brother Asheng, let's cook something later."

"good."

The guards met Chen Chen, "Sir, I bought the things."

“Put it in the kitchen.”

"promise."

"Brother Asheng, let's go to the kitchen."

"good."

When he arrived at the kitchen, Chen Chen directed Asheng to wash the pig liver and pork bones, and there was some fat on the pig bones. Chen Chen asked Asheng to refine it and use it for cooking.
