Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

night.

Candlelight.

Lu Weiguo looked at his sleeping daughter and didn't dare turn on the light.

I simply lit a candle that hadn't been used in a long time and sat by the candlelight looking at the information about how land was distributed to individual households in other villages.

Not all villages completed the task within a month.

Some villages grow rice and corn.

The harvest was slow, and it wasn't finished until early October.

Moreover, while distributing land to individual households was a good policy...

However, the land allocated to each person is different, although compensation will be made according to the location, fertility, and suitable crops of the land.

But ultimately, things are different.

Some people were allocated fertile land, while others were allocated dry land.

Despite all the arguments and disagreements, it just wouldn't get off the ground.

"Poop, poop~~ I need to pee~~"

I don't know what time it was, but the little girl lying on the bed, without even opening her eyes, cried out in a sobbing voice.

"Okay, okay, Daddy's here, Daddy's here! Come here, let Daddy hug you!!"

Lu Weiguo hurriedly helped Lu Jiahuan urinate.

In later generations, many young parents, for the sake of convenience, and with the availability of convenient items like diapers, continued to support their children.

This has resulted in many children not being able to wean off diapers even at the age of two or three.

This can cause urination problems in children.

Even at five or six years old, they still experience urinary and fecal incontinence.

These kinds of sayings don't exist in this day and age.

The child doesn't wear disposable diapers; they use cloth diapers instead.

Lu Weiguo struggles with excrement and urine every day, and he tries to quit as soon as possible.

However, daughters should avoid their fathers, so in the past, Li Xiulian would get up in the middle of the night to help her urinate.

When they went to his mother-in-law's house, Wu Guifen was also in charge.

Now that he's all alone, he can only try to keep the lights dim.

Holding Lu Jia Huan, a series of urinating sounds soon followed.

Lu Weiguo followed Li Xiulian's lead and said that he didn't give the children many snacks.

But what father doesn't love his adorable little daughter?

She drank a whole bottle of soda for the first time during the day.

I have to get up to pee every hour or so at night.

Another hour passed.

Lu Jiahuan was woken up again by the urge to urinate.

Lu Weiguo was probably a little sleepy, because he used a bit more force in his hands.

The dazed Lu Jia Huan hugged Lu Wei Guo and cried uncontrollably.

At first, he thought it was because he hadn't taken care of his child for a long time and his skills had become rusty.

but!

When he looked at his daughter in his arms, staring intently at the candlelight.

He realized something was wrong!

It's already early autumn.

The temperature difference between day and night is extreme.

He has to light a fire at night to heat up the earthen bed in his single-story house before he can sleep.

Let alone opening the window, even a small crack is enough to make me afraid that a draft will blow my child's mouth and eyes crooked.

But the candlelight, even without wind, swayed in circles.

It's as if someone is deliberately manipulating things.

Lu Weiguo recognized it at a glance: it was called "fire swirling," or sometimes "ghosts playing with fire!"

The official explanation from later generations was that the candles had different densities during production and contained impurities, which prevented them from burning completely.

That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

But damn it, think about it carefully, what's burning is clearly candle wax climbing up the hemp rope!

"Jiahuan, are you being naughty again? Let's go pee and then go to sleep properly. Daddy's here, don't be afraid! Daddy will protect you."

Lu Weiguo covered Lu Jiahuan's eyes, his voice becoming even softer, but his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

"Daddy, the big black cat! The big black cat next door! I want to see the big black cat!"

Lu Jiahuan was no longer sleepy after the commotion.

Pointing to a corner, they shouted that there were cats over there.

"Damn it!! Who's there?! Get out of here! Don't scare my child!!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Weiguo suddenly became fierce.

At this point, he was no longer afraid of scaring Lu Jiahuan. He pulled out the quick-draw knife from his trouser leg, a knife that had gutted countless animals.

He swung his sword wildly at the corner of the wall.

It's strange, really.

In that corner, under the candlelight, there was clearly a dark shadow that was faintly visible, but under this slashing motion...

It gradually disappeared.

The black cat next door was terrified a few days ago when the village was in such a mess that the villagers next door came to help.

I accidentally injured my pet sable.

Seeing the distress, Zhao Yangyang casually said, "Wangcai should bite it to death."

As a result, Wangcai, having nothing better to do, casually slapped the black cat to death.

The neighbor's kid was noisy all day.

However, given Zhao Yangyang's temper, he stood at the door cursing for a whole day, but in the end, nothing came of it.

Could it be a black cat?

The legend of the black cat being a psychic has always been around.

Just as Lu Weiguo thought of this, he saw Wangcai lying in his shack.

He didn't even lift his eyes.

If there really is a reward for the black cat, the first one to be dealt with is Wangcai!

Lu Weiguo shook his head, no longer intending to look at the materials, and blew out the candle.

He held Lu Jia Huan in his arms, half-lying in the corner, singing nursery rhymes, and stayed in that embrace all night.

However, the strange thing still happened the next day.

A heavy rainstorm silenced the bustling farmers' market.

Although many people came to buy food with umbrellas, there were still far more people than on the first day.

As for Lu Weiguo, Lu Jiahuan, who was fine yesterday, started having a fever this morning.

My head was burning hot. The village doctor came and examined me and found that I had a fever, but no other symptoms.

But. . .

She can't talk nonsense when she has a fever.

He also always said things that he had never taught her.

"Daddy, a bouncy creature is waving at me..."

"Daddy, I'm so cold, can I go out and play with them?"

"Daddy, the little black cat scratched me, it's so scary..."

"Daddy, why are there black handprints on the window..."

A bouncy man, a little black cat, and that black paw print.

Let's not talk about whether it exists or not.

These are the words that Lu Jiahuan had never used before.

"Weiguo, why don't you go find Old Mrs. Chang? I think this is strange. Either the child has been disturbed by something, or there's something wrong with the house. Or you could go check your family's ancestral graves."

The village doctor talked for a long time, but refused to admit that there was a problem with his medical skills.

"Okay, thanks."

The child was too young, and no one in the village dared to provoke Lu Weiguo, so the village doctor dared not prescribe any medicine for Lu Jia Huan.

With his mediocre skills, he prescribes a mix of animal drugs and regular medications.

If Lu Jia Huan gets sick from eating this, Lu Wei Guo will beat him to death.

It has a good reputation.

Lu Weiguo had no choice but to have Lu Baojia invite Old Mrs. Chang over.

The two villages are not far apart, and today is also a coincidence.

This little old lady braved the rain, intending to come to the farmers' market to buy a few ewes for her eldest granddaughter to raise and drink milk.

As soon as they arrived at Fendou Village, they were blocked by Lu Baojia.

"What? A child has a fever? Go to the hospital, why are you looking for me?" Upon hearing that it was Lu Weiguo's child...

Old Mrs. Chang has a really sharp tongue.

However, she still urged Qiu Ling, who was pushing her, to walk faster.
