Ling Xiu'er followed Granny Zhang's eyes and looked into the crockpot, which was filled with layers of gold wires, and other than that, it was a black thing. No one thought that the true color of the golden silkworm was black, and there was a trace of glitter on its body.

Granny Zhang pointed to the golden silkworm in the clay pot and said to Ling Xiu'er: "This thing not only looks different from ordinary silkworms, but even has different habits. As she spoke, her expression became very strange, "This thing is very evil, it doesn't eat mulberry leaves, it only eats the same kind, and once there is no food, it will form a cocoon." But what is even stranger is that when it comes out of the cocoon, it is still a silkworm and will not become a moth. ”

Granny Zhang's words were weird, and Ling Xiu'er took a closer look at the black and chubby little guy, feeling that it was not as terrible as Granny Zhang said, but it just felt magical, if you want to talk about evil things, then your own essence and blood can embroider things come true, isn't it a ghost fetus?

The so-called skilled people are bold, Ling Xiu'er wanted to get silk, and she didn't care about anything else, she asked: "It turns out that this thing is so peculiar, how did you get this golden silkworm?" ”

Granny Zhang sat on the only broken bench in the house with a clay pot and said slowly, "I stumbled upon it from the mulberry tree on the edge of the cemetery. People say that the mulberry leaves next to the cemetery are not picked if they have evil spirits, but I don't believe in evil, so I got this thing. It's just ......" Granny Zhang wanted to speak and stopped.

Ling Xiu'er didn't notice Granny Zhang's pause, she carefully peeled off a few strands of silk from the wall of the crockpot, and looked at the sun, and saw that the silk was shining with golden light, which was very beautiful.

She carefully put away the silk, and when she saw a lonely silkworm in the clay pot, she had a question, "Granny Zhang, the golden silk is sold so widely and the price is still high, why did you suddenly stop raising it?" ”

Granny Zhang was obviously stunned, as if she remembered something, her expression suddenly became sad, and the words she didn't want to say slowly flowed out of her mouth: "They all say that this golden silkworm is an evil thing and can eat human flesh, but nothing strange happened when I raised it for a while, so I didn't take it seriously." But... But..."

Speaking of this, Granny Zhang's voice choked, "My son, who got a fever after entering the silkworm house, couldn't be cured no matter how he was treated, and it didn't take long to go." It must have been the golden silkworm that harmed my son, how dare I raise this evil thing again! ”

"I'm sorry Granny Zhang, I didn't mean to mention your sadness." Ling Xiuer didn't expect such a story, and patted Granny Zhang's back comfortingly.

"It's okay, since you really want this thing, you can take it. But don't blame me for not reminding you, this golden silkworm is very evil. ”

After listening to Granny Zhang's words, Ling Xiuer actually felt a little infiltrated, and she also felt a little scared. But in order to break Wu Zhen'er's monopoly and make Buzhuang more profitable, Ling Xiuer could only let it go.

"Don't worry, mother-in-law, I know, thank you."

Ling Xiu'er took the clay pot containing the golden silkworm and walked out the door with it.

Granny Zhang put away her sad expression the moment she turned around, and the speed of changing her face made her feel cold on her back, and a pair of eyes that had been precipitated over the years also became extremely sharp at this moment.

"Wait!" Granny Zhang suddenly called Ling Xiu'er, "Xiangyun Pavilion's clothes, the way is estimated to be unclean, I heard that someone from a big family in the capital was buried, and the body disappeared in a few days, although it is a dead person, but the things on the body are very valuable." ”

Granny Zhang's hint Ling Xiu'er couldn't be clearer, a thought flashed in her head, and goosebumps all over her body instantly appeared. She was about to ask Granny Zhang how she knew about this, when the dilapidated wooden door "snapped" and closed mercilessly in front of her.

It is estimated that Granny Zhang didn't want to say anything, she said that no matter how much she wanted, she couldn't ask about it.

Ling Xiu'er was careful and nervous all the way holding the crockpot. Be careful that this golden silkworm is not easy to come by, it is extremely expensive, if you accidentally kill it, you don't know where to find the second one. Nervous that Granny Zhang's words made her listen to her heart, Ruoxiangyun Pavilion sells dead people's clothes...... It's easy to think about it.

Since Ling Xiu'er brought back this golden silkworm, she has taken extra care of it. If there is no food, Ling Xiu'er will embroider several more golden silkworms according to its appearance, and then use her own blood to make it real, and then feed the golden silkworm itself. Of course, Ling Xiu'er still had concerns, so she never directly touched the golden silkworm, so as not to have any unpredictable strange things happen.

After carefully raising the golden silkworm for several days and collecting a lot of golden silk, Ling Xiuer used this golden silk to embroider a handkerchief, but found that the luster of the embroidered handkerchief was still very different from what Wu Zhener embroidered.

Helpless, Ling Xiu'er had no choice but to look for the Su family again.

"Sister Su, I am already embroidered with gold silk, but why is it still different from Wu Zhen'er's embroidery?"

Su Shi took the handkerchief and examined it carefully, his eyes flashed, "Good sister, where did you get this golden silk?" "If she can grasp the first-hand supply of golden silk, will she still worry about being run by Xiangyun Pavilion in the future?

Ling Xiu'er didn't answer her directly, but continued to ask, "Sister Su, tell me quickly." ”

Su Shi put the veil under the sun and looked back, and finally shook his head, "I'm sure you use golden silk, but the color is really different from the one used by Wu Zhen'er that day, is it the different variety of golden silkworm?" ”

Seeing that Su was also in a rut, Ling Xiu'er couldn't help but be a little discouraged, but Su was still asking her where the golden silk came from, so Ling Xiu'er had no choice but to tell her.

Knowing that Ling Xiu'er was raising golden silkworms, Su Shi was very excited, "Good sister, you must sell it to me when the first batch of silk comes down, I will give this number, is it enough?" ”

As he spoke, Su Shi stretched out five fingers. Ling Xiu'er knows her thoughts, but now whether the silkworms can be drawn and what the color of the finished product will be is still unknown, so she can only respond perfunctorily.

Walking out of Buzhuang, Ling Xiu'er looked at Xiangyun Pavilion, where business was booming opposite, and couldn't help but be distracted. Is what Granny Zhang said true?

In the remaining days, Ling Xiu'er came to Buzhuang every day to squat, secretly inquiring about Xiangyun Pavilion, wanting to find out the source of her clothes.

The carriage seemed ordinary, but he would always go around a few lines, and then if he wasn't looking, he would disappear from sight. Xiu'er decides to follow the carriage to see what clues it will have.

On this day, Ling Xiu'er changed into an unobtrusive set of clothes, hired a carriage, and quietly followed behind the carriage. Chasing and catching up slowly along the way made her heart beat faster, and she said that it was not easy to track people.

After several circles of the suspicious carriage around the city, it finally headed out of the city. Ling Xiu'er let the carriage follow for a while, and then got out of the carriage and followed herself, after all, outside the city is not like inside the city, the city is bustling with cars and horses, and the carriage is not too big to follow the target. But once outside the city, it's different.

Ling Xiu'er followed the carriage all the way to a remote farmhouse in the suburbs.
