The so-called fairy rice is not real rice, nor is it grass, but a kind of white mud.

The color is not the same as the dirt.

Those who suffered from famine regarded it as immortal rice given to them by the immortals so that they would not starve to death.

Therefore, it is known as fairy rice.

This kind of rice has also eaten many people to death.

It's different now.

Miss Qu, is she still short of food?

Will buy these roots?

He looked at the few thin middle-aged men in front of him, and realized.

Miss Qu has always been kind, and I am afraid that she bought all those things because these people were too poor.

Thinking so, the defense of these people also dispersed a little.

"Here we are." The old man stood outside the Qu family's courtyard.

Several people stopped and looked at the courtyard in front of them. Although this courtyard looks large, it is no different from the courtyard in the village.

It doesn't look like a rich man.

It's just such a family, and the family even bought a horse ......

In this way, it can also be seen that this family loves the girl in the family.

But is this kind of favor too much?

The old man pushed open the courtyard door.

attracted the sideways glances of several middle-aged men.

"Old man, don't you have to knock on the door?" The middle-aged man behind him asked.

"No, Miss Qu hasn't come back yet, and there is no one in the courtyard. No one opened it when it was knocked. ”

"No one?"

The old man looked at a few people, "You don't know, Miss Qu is the only one in the family?" No, it should be said that she is the only one in this courtyard. Her home is in the capital. ”

Several middle-aged men were stunned by the news.

A young lady in the capital?

The young lady in the capital still lives in such a small village when she comes to these small places......

Several middle-aged men looked blank.

This is a bit informative, and they can't react for a while.

"What? Just scared, huh? The old man looked at them with a confused look on his face, and couldn't help but laugh.

is so old, and they all show such expressions, like the kind of hairy guy in his teens. provoked him to be in such a mood, it seemed that he was more than ten years younger.

It gave him the idea of teasing these boys.

"That's what scared you, if you knew that Miss Qu was the Jinhua County Lord, wouldn't you be even more scared?"

Okay, the things that a few people had a little guess and didn't dare to be sure about were just confirmed.

The mood that had eased down changed again.

My mind was empty, and all my previous thoughts were gone.

Who are they?

Where are they? What are they here for?

All of them look very pitiful.

The old man smiled and decided not to bully these little pitifuls.

"Why don't you put everything in there? Standing at this door with a burden all the time, not tired? ”

Several people came back to their senses by this, only to feel that their shoulders were pressed and painful. Then he carried the burden and followed the old man into the courtyard.

Because they knew that this courtyard belonged to the county lord, several middle-aged people didn't dare to look around when they entered the courtyard. Just lowered his head and followed behind the old man.

It wasn't until the old man's footsteps stopped that several people stopped.

"Just put it right here." The old man pointed to a corner.

A few people looked over, it was a special place to place firewood.

The man who walked in front frowned.

You can't just leave this thing like that.

"Old man, county lord, county lord, is there a place with water in this courtyard, or near here?" The contents of their basket had been soaked in water for days. But in the end, I still don't feel at ease, and I still need to soak for a few more days to make people feel at ease.

I am afraid that after this is placed in a dry place for a while, this thing will not be eaten.

You have to find a place with water and soak it in water.

The old man thought that they had walked such a long way on a hot day, and that they were thirsty. It was hard to say that he wanted to drink the water of Qu Tao's family, so he said, "You wait a minute." ”

After speaking, regardless of whether a few people reacted, he walked to the stove room.

Several people looked at each other, and they didn't know how to develop into this.

What is the old man going to do?

Why don't you just find a place with water? Why go to the stove room first?

The next moment, they knew why.

The old man brought a bucket out of the stove. Then go to the well in the corner of the yard.

"What are you still standing there for?" The old man glanced at a few people, "Aren't you thirsty?" Don't come with me yet. ”

Several people couldn't laugh or cry.

This was misunderstood by the old man.

But come to think of it, it's perfectly normal.

They didn't say what they wanted water for, and it was understood that they were thirsty, and that was nature.

"That's not what we meant, old man." Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man. "And what do you mean you want water?"

"Isn't this the county lord's home? What's so strange. When I came here, I didn't dare to say anything when I was thirsty. What's wrong with drinking saliva? Miss Qu won't eat you either. The old man was angry.

Angry, these people in front of them regard such a kind little girl as a beast of prey.

Miss Qu, what a good little girl, for these people, it is a thousand good, ten thousand good. Where would it be like that kind of person?

A few people looked at the old man and suddenly got angry, and they felt that this was really a big misunderstanding.

"That's not what we meant, old man. We're all here because of these things. The middle-aged man pointed to the contents of the basket and said, "These things need to be soaked in water, otherwise they will be poisonous and will not be eaten." It's not that we're embarrassed to beg for water. If we are thirsty, we will certainly look for water to drink. ”

After hearing this, the old man hesitated.

Looking at the expressions of several people again, I could see that they were all nodding at him. That's when I believed it.

"You say these things are poisonous? Then you still want to ask Miss Qu to eat? Aren't you hurting people? The old man was even angrier.

These people just rely on Miss Qu to be young and kind, and they can't see people suffering, so they can bully people?

And dare to sell her something poisonous?

He believed that if the rest of the village knew about it, they would definitely be killed.

"No, no, don't get me wrong, old man." The man waved his hand again and again, "This thing is poisonous, but after a few days of blistering, it will be fine." That's what we eat in our village. If it's really harmful, we don't dare to sell it, right? ”

Seemingly, there is some truth?

However, he had never heard of anything that needed to be soaked in water for a few days before he could eat.

The old man picked up one and asked, "How do you eat this?" ”

"Well, soak it for a few days, peel off the skin and cook it. Be sure to cook it for a longer period of time, and be sure to cook things through. "I'm afraid that if I don't say it, I will be poisoned raw," the middle-aged man explained seriously.

"I have to do it like this." The old man made up his mind that he must try it first.

At his age, even if he died of poisoning, it didn't matter.
