Yun Kai and Yan Xiaoyi heard the authentic original song of "The Legend of Darkness" for the first time, and it sounded a little weird at first, but after listening to it for a long time, they felt some flavor. Ran Fu's voice is a little hoarse, but it is better than the original, and the lyrics are also intriguing, and the simple and repetitive tones seem to have some strange magic.

It didn't take long for Sister-in-law Ran to clean up the table and chairs and set up two tables of wine and food, and Ran Fu warmly invited the three of them to the table. Sister-in-law Ran shouted a few times outside the door, and more than a dozen workers from the oil mill followed into the house, and after serving the table, they just buried their heads in eating and didn't say much.

The two workers at the same table with Yunkai and several people, one is a sturdy muscular man, and the other is an old man with a thin face, Ran Fu introduced it as the foreman and oil master of the oil mill. Yun Kai didn't have much to do with these five big and three rough men, and he didn't bother to set up friendships, so he chatted casually and dealt with the past.

The dishes made by Sister-in-law Ran are all grown in her own field, or game in the mountains, full of ecological green food, and the two of them haven't eaten seriously for several days, so they unceremoniously feasted. After those workers were full of food and drink, they left the table and went out directly, leaving the master and Yunkai on the table, Ran Fu persuaded the wine vigorously, saying that he was tired and drank more all the way to rest, and a few people couldn't refuse, but they drank too much, and Lao Du, who had the worst amount of alcohol, fell on the spot.

Sister-in-law Ran arranged the room, Yun Kai and Yan Xiaoyi helped Lao Du to lie down, and were pulled back to the table by Ran Fu, and the two politely and resolutely refused the master's continued persuasion. Ran Fu was worried about treating the guests slowly, and said enthusiastically: "You can stop drinking that wine, there is one more thing you must taste...... and then instructed Ran's sister-in-law to bring two large glasses of honey over.

Yun Kai and Yan Xiaoyi remembered that before entering the house, they noticed that the walls were full of beehives. Unexpectedly, Ran Fu looked like an honest farmer, his mind was quite flexible, not only planted a large area of rape to open an oil mill, but also raised dozens of barrels of bees, and it is estimated that the income in a year will be indispensable.

Yun Kai tasted a sip of honey, and the faint floral fragrance permeated his tongue and lasted for a long time. He tasted it for a while, and asked thoughtfully: "Uncle Ran, this honey has a rich taste and has the fragrance of a hundred flowers—it shouldn't be the honey made from rape flowers, right?" ”

"The little brother is worthy of being a medicine picker, and he tastes it after taking a sip!" Ran Fu was a little surprised, stretched out his thumb and boasted: "This honey is not from those beehives on the outer wall, but from the wild bees on the cliff - the outside saying is 'Shennong Baihua Nectary', not to mention the high price, the real 'Shennong Baihua Nectar' is not sold at all!" ”

"Feast, thank you Uncle Ran for your hospitality!" Yun Kai gave Yan Xiaoyi a look, stood up and rubbed his belly and said, "Xiaoyi, let's go and see the night scene of the autumn moon, and digest it by the way?" ”

Ran Fu was rolling up the cigarette and stuffing it into the cigarette stick, looked up and said, "Wait, I'll show you the way......"

Yun Kai politely refused: "Don't bother Uncle Ran, let's take a few photos at the door and come back!" ”

"Then don't go too far, I'll ask my wife to boil the bath water for you."

The two nodded in thanks, put on their coats and went out. When passing by the gate, several hound dogs stood up vigilantly, and when they saw that they were guests entertained by their masters, they whimpered twice and then fell back to their original places, but stared at the two with vigilant eyes.

The autumn night of Lotus Village is as warm as spring, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating. The two walked out along the path by the stream, and Yan Xiaoyi asked curiously, "In the middle of the night, why are you dragging me out?" ”

"Xiao Yi, don't you think this place is weird?" Yun Kai stretched out his index finger and pressed it to his mouth, motioning for Yan Xiaoyi to whisper.

"What's weird?"

Yun Kai continued to walk a few steps forward, and there was no dark figure around him, only the swaying branches of rape flowers in the moonlight, and the babbling stream. He pulled Yan Xiaoyi to squat down, picked up a small stone and drew a figure on the ground, the figure looked like a triangle, but the side line was curved.

Yan Xiaoyi was puzzled and asked, "The god horse you painted?" ”

Yun Kai marked the three circles in order on the three corners of the triangle, pointed to the figure and said, "This is the campsite last night, and it is the ghost hitting the wall bamboo forest...... This is where we met the mountain, and then along this creek, we arrived at the Lotus Village, which is here - do you see what's coming? ”

"Oh, where we are staying now, so close to that ghost bamboo forest? Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”

"Don't forget, I also grew up in the mountains!" Yun Kai rolled his eyes and said, "I suspect that if we found an exit instead of an entrance at that time, we would have arrived at Lotus Village when we left the bamboo forest!" ”

Yan Xiaoyi carefully recalled the route and said, "Very likely! ”

"Let's not talk about this suspicion for now. There is still a suspicion in the bamboo forest - do you remember the string of red? ”

"You're not talking nonsense! You won't let me eat it, so you can use it to seduce bees and butterflies......"

"Be serious, I'll get down to business!" Yun Kai interrupted Yan Xiaoyi's broken thoughts and said: "As far as I know, a bunch of red is not a native plant native to China, it is native to distant South America, that is to say, ......."

"In other words, a bunch of red is transplanted by hand?"

"This is the only way!"

Yan Xiaoyi also began to feel weird. Since a bunch of red is artificially transplanted, what about the ghost hitting the wall bamboo forest? If the ghost hitting the wall is a man-made barricade, what is the purpose?

The answer was obvious, but neither of them said it.

Yan Xiaoyi thought about it again, shook his head suspiciously, and said, "No! There has been no trace of anyone passing through the bamboo forest for a long time! ”

"Of course. Who would go that route if nothing else? There must be more obvious entrances and exits in Lotus Village, and the ghost bamboo forest may just be a backup passage, similar to the back door or tunnel of a large family......"

"What does it matter? Didn't Lao Du say that Lotus Village used to be a place for the White Lotus Sect to secretly train soldiers? It is not surprising that there is such a retreat route......"

"Nope." Yun Kai shook his head and denied: "A bunch of red has a very short cultivation history in Huaxia, it can't be planted by the White Lotus Sect - think about it, who would be bored to bring the seeds to this barren mountain?" ”

"It really doesn't make sense."

"The only explanation is that the ghost hitting the bamboo forest is related to the lotus village across the mountain, to be precise, it is related to the modern oil pressing!"

Yan Xiaoyi fell into deep thought. He was stunned by these mysterious things, and said with a headache: "Even if your speculation is correct, do these things have anything to do with us?" ”

"Okay!" Yun Kai sighed and said, "Please allow me to tell you an unfortunate truth, you must be mentally prepared......"

"Less jjww, there is something to say!"

"We're in a den of thieves!"

Yan Xiaoyi was taken aback, jumped up and shouted, ", you mean Uncle Ran, they ......"

"Shh Yun Kai hurriedly interrupted Yan Xiaoyi and said, "Be quiet! ”

Yan Xiaoyi looked around and squatted down again. Yun Kai lowered his voice and said, "I didn't have that many thoughts before, even if I went around the forest all day. Later, when we met Dashan and the Ling family brothers and sisters, our attention was focused on the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, so we ignored this matter, but the honey that Uncle Ran gave us to drink just now once again confirmed our previous suspicions......"

"Shennong's Hundred Flowers?"

"It's that Shennong Baihua nectar!" Yun Kai nodded and said, "A clever pharmacist can easily distinguish which plant pollen honey comes from. Shennong's nectar is indeed as Uncle Ran said, it is made by wild bees in the mountains and picking flowers, but the most abundant pollen comes from two plants, one is rape flowers, and the other is hibiscus......"

"Fleur?"

"Fleur is an ancient name, and its modern name is Poppy!"

"Cake sellers! You mean to say, there's a drug plantation here?! ”

"100% sure. Extrapolating from the proportion of components in pollen, the area of opium poppy is not small. ”

Yan Xiaoyi said suspiciously: "But in this lotus village, there are only rape and no poppies, where do the poppies come from?" ”

Yun Kai sniffed hard, a knowing smile appeared on his face, and asked rhetorically, "Xiao Yi, do you know how to paint skin?" ”

""Liao Zhai", everyone in China knows it!"

"The story of the painted skin tells us a simple truth, the more beautiful the creature, the more terrifying. For example, beauties, poisonous snakes, poppies, rape flowers next to us, under the appearance of paradise, there is a terrible truth hidden - rape fields are poppy plantations! ”

"Wouldn't it?!" Yan Xiaoyi's mouth was wide open, his face full of disbelief.

Yun Kai didn't explain, sniffing out the scent of flowers in the air, then bent down and plunged into the rape flowers. Yan Xiaoyi followed inexplicably, the two of them pushed aside the dense rape bushes, and walked out less than ten meters deep, and saw clusters of pom-pom flowers mixed with the rape bushes, similar in shape to poppies, but the petals were white, and there were some other colors, but the light was too poor to distinguish.

The flower looked unusually bewitching in the moonlight, exuding a slightly sweet and bitter fragrance - it was the poppy that Yunkai had speculated!

"Nima, the person who came up with this idea is a genius!" Yun Kai sat on the ground and said with emotion: "Mix poppies and plant them in rape fields, rape plants are taller than poppies, as long as the flowering period of the two plants is controlled, you can only see large rape flowers when they bloom, even satellite monitoring can't find poppies!" ”

"There's dozens of acres of rape fields here, right? How many poppies are hidden? ”

"You can plant tens of thousands of trees per acre, how many do you count?"

"How much can you sell it for?"

"There are about 70 or 80 acres of fruit here, and the annual output is ...... That's about two million dollars. Yun Kai finished counting with his fingers, and added: "If nothing else, that oil mill is still a drug processing workshop, and the value of the finished product will have to triple after refining it, and it can earn tens of millions of Huaxia coins every year!" ”

", this time it's a big deal, it's a big deal! Unexpectedly, the kind-looking Ran Fu actually hid here to grow drugs! Yan Xiaoyi said in horror: "What should we do now?" ”

"Thirty-six strategies are the best policy, let's slip away!"

"And what about your Ice Flame Flower?"

"What else can I do? Cold! ”

"Then let's hurry back to the village, call Lao Du and leave!"

"Silly, can you go back?" Yun Kai glanced at Yan Xiaoyi and said, "If you don't want to leave Lao Du behind, you can only pretend that you don't know anything and leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Brother is worried that our acting skills are not good...... the two of them squatted under the poppies and muttered for a long time, Yan Xiaoyi said that he didn't bring anything in the middle of the night, and he went out to feed the beasts, so it was better to risk going back to Lotus Village. Yun Kai thought that just for a while, the other party would not expect the two of them to come in to check, and it stands to reason that there would be no more trouble, so he nodded in agreement.

The two of them sneaked out of the rape field, cleaned the mud on their shoes by the stream, and then returned to the village as if nothing happened, pretending to be tired and saying hello to Ran Fu, washing and sleeping casually - in fact, the two of them were also very tired, tossing in the mountains all day without talking, and were chased and killed by Qihu and others, and had a fight with the Ling brothers and sisters, even if it was a pervert like Dashan, he would be sleepy.

The next morning, the two woke up in pain, and then they were horrified to find that they had been tied up into zongzi, and in front of them was Qihu with a sinister smile!
