Chapter 119: Discovery

The surrounding mountains are surrounded by a blue sky, wide and high, and several forest birds cross the sky, leaving a crisp chirp.

Xiao Yu turned around and walked towards the side of the mountain, Hua Yue touched Hua Hua's head and followed unhurriedly.

The fields were overgrown with weeds, vines were tangled in the stalks of the crops, and the yellow leaves were covered with sunlight and made a small crumbling sound in the wind.

The dead leaves of the stalk reveal a golden color.

Xiao Yu's gaze fell on it, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and exclaimed in surprise: "Corn!" I saw corn! ”

Before Hua Yue could come back to her senses, Xiao Yu had already jumped into the grass, pulled over the corn stalk, and broke off the corn cob that grew on it. She tore the dry skin of the corn three times and two times, took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and saw that there was no difference except that it was bigger than in her previous life, so she immediately handed it to Hua Yue as if offering a treasure.

"Corn?" Hua Yue stretched out her hand to take it, a little puzzled. He seemed to have heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Haven't you read the relevant ancient books?" Xiao Yuqi said, "Corn, also known as jade wheat and bud grain, is said to be one of the crops found by ancient sages from overseas immortal mountains, and the yield is very high. ”

Hua Yue thought for a moment before asking, "Yes, is there another name for this thing?" ”

Xiao Yu remembered that Qin Guangyu had mentioned it, and immediately said, "Exactly." ”

Hua Yue had already remembered, and her face showed a hint of condensation, and she said, "If that's the case, then this corn is indeed a rare thing." ”

"That's right!" Xiao Yu nodded again and again.

Without waiting for Hua Yue to say anything, Xiao Yu had already re-entered the field, broke off the corn one by one and piled it on the ground next to it, and there was still white.

After picking it up, Xiao Yu was still afraid that something would be missed, so he carefully looked for it again.

Hearing this, Hua Yue next to her couldn't help but smile, but then she retreated, her eyes drooped slightly, and she groaned.

If this corn is really a godsend in ancient legends, then what the old woman said is a little more credible. It's just that if this matter gets out, even if there is a maze of obstacles, this peaceful valley will become lively.

Hua Yue didn't want to see that happen.

The sun is setting in the west again.

Xiao Yu looked at the corn piled up on the ground, a little worried, she looked up and saw that there were also a few wooden houses in the forest, so she rode over to find the bags, but she didn't expect to find several bags of hemp for her.

The corn had been spoiled so much that not a single sack could be filled.

"Thank you, Flowey." Xiao Yu vigorously picked up the half-bag of corn and put it on the tiger's back, "Fortunately, you are here." ”

"You bring this corn back, if someone asks, what do you think?" Hua Yue asked.

Xiao Yu had already considered the stakes involved, and when he heard this, he said: "Let's move home, just don't let people find out first." I've figured out how to do it. ”

Hua Yue didn't say anything more.

It was getting dark, and I had to stay in the valley for the night.

Xiao Yu lit a fire in the woods, and Hua Yue barbecued game, and she peeled the corn kernels off the cob, so that it was not so bulky and not easy to be discovered. After only a dozen peels, her hands were a little red, so she shook them lightly.

Hua Yue noticed it, and after eating, he also came over to help.

The next day, Xiao Yu carried a bag early in the morning and walked around the barren fields, hoping to find more corn or other crops.

Hua Hua and Hua Yue followed behind not far away, watching Xiao Yu toss.

"Sweet potato! Haha, there are other crops in this valley! After looking for a long time, Xiao Yu suddenly caught a glimpse of a few green vines, happily took a stick and dug it, and quickly pulled out a few large sweet potatoes.

"What is this?" Hua Yue took two steps forward.

"Here you go!" Xiao Yu put a sweet potato that had been patted clean of the soil into Hua Yue's hand, and then continued to dig while telling him about her knowledge of sweet potatoes, "...... Do you still remember the simmered taro at Changle Villa last time? In fact, kiln sweet potatoes are even more delicious! ”

Hua Yue thought for a while, and said in surprise: "I haven't heard of this." ”

Xiao Yu was immersed in joy, just focused on digging sweet potatoes and didn't care.

There aren't many sweet potatoes in this area, and most of them have been eaten by rats or spoiled. In the end, Xiao Yu only dug up nearly twenty good ones and put them into the cloth bag.

Despite this, Xiao Yu was still very happy and continued to search in the wasteland with higher interest. After a while, she found a small cornfield, she immediately went in to break the corn cob, and Hua Yue peeled off the corn kernels and put them in a bag outside.

As the sun rises, the ground begins to heat up.

Xiao Yu was still wandering around the barren fields with undiminished interest. Suddenly, she squatted down and dug twice with a stick, and immediately stood up excitedly, looking up to the sky and laughing: "Haha! Peanut! I even found peanuts! ”

Such a disregard for manners really made Hua Yue a little speechless, but then she couldn't help but smile, thinking that her appearance was very interesting.

Xiao Yu was happy for a moment before turning his head, but he still beckoned with a bright face, and said, "Young Master Yue, come here!" ”

Hua Yue stepped forward as she said.

Xiao Yu put a shelled peanut into Hua Yue's open palm, and then peeled it off in her hand, revealing the plump peanut, and handed it to Hua Yue's mouth.

"You taste it."

Hua Yue opened her mouth to catch it, and inevitably touched Xiao Yu's fingertips, and a strange feeling spread.

Xiao Yu's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly took his hand back, peeking at it, Hua Yue seemed to be unconscious. Thinking that he shouldn't have cared, and not seeing her embarrassed appearance, Xiao Yu slowly calmed down.

"Is it delicious?"

"Well, what did you just say this is?" Hua Yue was still reminiscing about the feeling of touching her fingertips just now, and asked when she heard the words.

"These are peanuts, also called ground beans, which can be used to extract oil, and can also be used to make vegetables and snacks." Xiao Yu quickly forgot about the embarrassment, and peeled a few as he spoke, putting them in his mouth, enjoying the long-lost sweetness.

Hua Yue pinched the peanuts in her palm and said, "It's like a pod, it's just called a ground bean, why are it called peanuts?" ”

Xiao Yu didn't want to bother to explain, so he said directly: "Then you have to ask the person who named it." ”

"I wonder how Ayu knew these rare crops?" Hua Yue began to feel a little strange since Xiao Yu discovered the corn, and now she is even more suspicious.

"I saw it in ancient books." Xiao Yu still used that excuse.

"You can recognize it just by seeing it in the book, Second Miss Xiao is really smart." Hua Yue said with a smile. Xiao Yu said that it was strange that he would believe it.

"It's because the pictures drawn in that ancient book are very fine." Xiao Yu heard Hua Yue's suspicion and explained with a smile.

"Even so, it's a bit inappropriate to enter so easily."

Xiao Yu realized that he had inadvertently made another mistake, and his face showed embarrassment, secretly spitting on his smugness. (To be continued.) )
