The outhouse was filled with the fragrance of zongzi, Guan Youshou touched his stomach, or opened another iron pot, and took a small steamed bun from it.

Needless to say, this craft must be his daughter's technique, just like the rice dumplings that he learned from her mother before dinner, and it is also a small one, which is not enough to stuff a mouthful.

He wanted to ask his daughter-in-law, would it be bad if the zongzi were simmered in the pot like this, and they would be simmered all night?

In the past, his mother seemed to put the zongzi in the pot and fill it with water, and pressed a stone slab, saying that it saved the zongzi from floating up, so that it could be cooked quickly.

After waiting for the water in the pot to boil for a quarter of an hour, the fire slowly stopped, and the zongzi were also simmered in the pot overnight, and the next morning, he could eat the fragrant zongzi.

When did it start?

The zongzi are not fragrant anymore, and the noise is getting more and more every day, and it will be a little better Chinese New Year's Eve a year......

Guan Youshou sighed secretly, glanced at the night outside, and saw that there was no sound in the inner room, he stood up and tiptoed into the West House.

"Asleep?"

"Well, I won't go, leaving the two children at home, I don't worry. ”

With her eyes closed, Guan Ping'an could also hear the deep worry in her mother's words, and when she took back the jade beads, she didn't dare to move.

"Okay, you go to bed early, too. ”

Leaving a word, Guan Youshou hurriedly went out again.

Ye Xiuhe sighed when she saw this, went out for a while, and soon came in again, holding a few colorful silk threads in her hands, and I don't know when she gathered them.

Sitting on the edge of the kang, she first put the colorful threads on the kang, lightly got on the kang, and pulled out a root to tie it to the wrists and ankles of the two children.

This colorful line is a custom of the Dragon Boat Festival, tied to the children's hands and feet, and also has the meaning of a kind of spiritual sustenance of the mother, naturally hoping that the children can suppress the evil and avoid drugs, and live a long life.

It's already midnight, and it's supposed to be the fifth day of the new year, and a few multicolored threads have passed through the dew that she had been outside all night last night, and she didn't wait for dawn.

Guan Ping'an secretly opened her eyes and looked at her pious mother under the light, she closed her eyes tightly, and also rested her thoughts about letting her mother rest first.

In fact, she didn't need to persuade her, Ye Xiuhe looked at the two children who were sleeping soundly, she couldn't resist the sleepiness, leaned on it, and couldn't even bother blowing the oil lamp in a daze, so she slipped onto the kang and fell asleep......

"Mother?" lay down for a while, Guan Ping'an whispered, but didn't move...... "Mother?" she shouted softly again, still no response......

Seeing this, she quietly withdrew her hand from her little brother's little hand, got off the kang and stuffed her small pillow into the quilt first, blew out the oil lamp, and stood on the ground and waited quietly for a while......

Out of the outhouse, Guan Ping'an's speed was very fast, I saw that she didn't go to the front door, and she didn't go to the back door, climbed the jujube tree in a hurry, and jumped to the wall with her little feet and went to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a small figure had already burst out, and soon passed Ma Zhenxing's house in the front yard, flashing towards the entrance of the village like a ghost.

At this time, the dirt road leading to the outside world was quiet again, but occasionally there were owls and frogs chirping, and the wind was blowing through the leaves of the trees, and it was eerie.

Guan Ping'an didn't dare to slow down, worried that her mother would wake up suddenly, as for her father, she was not worried at all, as long as Guan Xiaozhu hadn't been found, things would have to be grinded.

I don't know if the second uncle who has been refusing to leave the avenue before, where is he going now?

In the night, the disturbed Wangjiazhuang had already fallen into silence again in the dark, but she also knew that there must be patrols.

Moreover, if someone approaches, the dog will bark wildly, and in less than two hours, there will be more villagers who get up early and are busy keeping their own land.

Time could not be delayed.

Fortunately, she came once before, and she roughly had a bottom, carefully avoiding the residents, of course, the Wangjiazhuang farm could not be approached, and there were dogs there.

As soon as she approached the abandoned courtyard, Guan Ping'an suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, this place was remote, and the slightest movement would not alarm the villagers, and she even accelerated her speed.

Standing in front of the abandoned stove, she first took out a stone that glowed faintly orange, wrapped it in her mother's blue turban, and set it aside.

Don't say whether it will be alarming at this time, even if someone sees this light, it is estimated that they will be scared to pee their pants!

Then she lay down on the stove, and a pair of small hands began to twist one of the bricks of the mechanism, and the sound of a click suddenly sounded, like a person gnawing on a bone.

At this time, even Guan Ping'an himself has to admire himself!

Seeing the stove split in two, the ground revealing a swarthy hole, and smelling the pungent earthy musty smell, Guan Ping'an couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Especially when she "saw" a curled little figure motionless at the bottom, she was even more speechless - this lonely ghost doesn't understand that the sealed space needs to be ventilated first?

Since she found someone, she was not in a hurry to go down, she just let the underground air through first, and she happened to open another mechanism.

As for whether the other party is dead, do you want to save people first?

Joke!

This mechanism also made a clicking sound, but it did a different job, not only making the hole in the ground wider, but also causing the partition wall below to split in two and retreat to both sides.

"Seeing" this scene, Guan Ping'an's face suddenly changed, such an organ is not an ordinary mechanism, with such a master, will the master of the Wang family really cut off?

She frowned, then shook her head.

If you don't have anything to do with yourself, don't think about it!

Then she decisively took out a strip of cloth from the small gourd, lit it and waved it at the entrance of the hole, and then used the stones in the small gourd to hold up the two bricks.

She was afraid, afraid that the entrance to the cave would automatically close, and if she was trapped inside, then her little life would really be over.

After getting out of the secret room, Guan Ping'an went to Guan Xiaozhu's side first, squatted down and put his little hand on her neck, and saw a wooden box she was holding with both hands, and couldn't help pouting.

That's a big deal!

They were all worried that the other party would wake up temporarily, but Guan Xiaozhu's treatment was not as good as Ye Xiuhe's, she stretched out her little hand as a knife and slashed at the back of the opponent's neck with one palm.

Only then did he take out an oil lamp made of a broken bowl from the small gourd and illuminate the entire secret room.

The empty secret room was already empty, except for a wooden box that Guan Xiaozhu was still clinging to, and there was a box behind the open wall, which was empty.

It is estimated that either the original owner was defeated, or the family wealth had already been transferred.

Time is pressing, Guan Ping'an can't wait long, immediately put Guan Xiaozhu and the wooden box into the small gourd, and withdraw if it is late, her mother will be worried about death if she wakes up and sees her.

Returning to the original state, this time, she was not worried about whether she would alarm the dogs and cats, and she accelerated towards the Guan family's old courtyard along the road she came.
