Chapter 177: The Nether Flower is bewitching
Crystal orchids are born from decay and do not need sunlight for photosynthesis, and all nutrients come from the decay in the ground.
Around this vast expanse of the most fantastic crystal orchid is the source of nutrients for its door, a large unowned mound.
Fu Xiaojiu's hairs stood on end, and his face turned pale and drilled hard into Wan Lin's arms.
There are dozens of weedy mounds around the crystal orchid, and under these graves with no tombstones and no worship, the buried corpses are either hastily buried wrapped in straw mats, or there are no corpses that don't even have straw mats.
It was these corpses that were hastily buried that nourished a large area of crystal orchids that were born by attachment!
Wan Lin gently put the rich Xiaojiuhuan in his arms, and said calmly: "But all this kind of ownerless tomb is either a criminal who is extremely evil, or the family is too poor, so there is no poor person who doesn't even have a tombstone." They had no one to worship, and they allowed the weeds to grow wildly on the tombs. β
Fu Xiaojiu was just frightened by the sudden appearance of the mound just now, and she was not so scared after she eased up.
Fu Xiaojiu also looked at the mound and said to Wan Lin: "I didn't expect that we would come to such a place. I just looked at the crystal orchid, and I didn't even notice that there were all graves around me! Is it really an eye-opener for money? β
Wan Lin saw that Fu Xiaojiu was not so scared, so he said to her: "Lady, although these crystal orchids are full and plump, they are really pleasing to look at, but they are grown by eating human flesh and blood, do you still want to pick them back?" β
Fu Xiaojiu's gaze once again fell on the crystal orchid that was like a holy angel.
Such a large area of crystal orchids is too tempting, and it would be a bit inhuman to give them up.
"Don't move, these crystal orchids are mine! I found out first! β
An almost crazy voice suddenly sounded not far from Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin, and the two of them followed the sound at the same time and saw an old man with a backpack on his back and patches all over his body.
"Ji Erzhu?"
Ji Erzhu's appearance surprised Fu Xiaojiu even more than the discovery of Crystal Orchid.
Wan Lin also felt that it was too coincidental to meet Ji Erzhu here.
"Uncle Ji, I didn't expect us to meet here!" Wan Lin said hello to Ji Erzhu first.
Ji Erzhu only cared about Crystal Lan just now, and didn't notice who the two people standing were who they were, and when he saw Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin, he was also stunned.
"Is that you? Why are you here? β
Ji Erzhu walked towards them.
Fu Xiaojiu smiled bitterly, "Hehe, we're here to find Crystal Orchid." β
As soon as "Crystal Orchid" was mentioned, Ji Erzhu's nerves immediately tensed.
Although he was a little embarrassed, he thought that he had already promised Ji Sanniang, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "I found the crystal orchid first, but since I met you, let's take the crystal orchid in half!" β
Wan Lin smiled and said, "We should have arrived before you." But we don't want to rob you of the Crystal Orchid ......."
Before Wan Lin's words were finished, Ji Erzhu hurriedly said: "No matter who found out first, there are only three of us here anyway." Crystal Orchid, our two families are half a family, and you have no losses. β
Ji Erzhu was afraid that Wan Lin would think that Crystal Lan was unfair.
Wan Lin could see from Ji Erzhu's extremely excited gaze that he must have had crystal orchids all over his eyes just now, and he didn't notice the mound hidden under the weeds.
Wan Lin pointed ahead unhurriedly and said to Ji Erzhu, "Take a good look at what is around Crystal Orchid?" β
Ji Erzhu blinked and looked around Crystal Lan with a questioning expression.
"Ahh
After seeing clearly what was around Crystal Orchid, Ji Erzhu couldn't help but open his mouth wide in astonishment, and took a few steps back one after another.
"ThisβThis is all ...... Grave? β
Ji Erzhu's eyes really only had Crystal Lan just now.
Ji Erzhu knew what the growth environment of the crystal orchid was like, and the places where the crystal orchid was generally found were under hidden and dark trees with weeds, or under small bushes.
In such places, decaying plants are usually used as nutrients for crystal orchids, so crystal orchids also grow in small patches, and never appear on such a large scale.
And this large piece of crystal orchids growing on top of the corpse looks better than all the crystal orchids that Ji Erzhu has seen before, the crystal white crystal orchids are as pure and noble as angels from heaven, people can't help but worship them, and they can't even bear to take them off.
Ji Erzhu's fright was still shocked, he took a few steps back, and then slowly walked forward.
Seeing that Ji Erzhu actually walked towards the crystal orchid, Fu Xiaojiu also hurriedly took a step forward and asked, "Uncle Ji, don't you want to take off the crystal orchid that was fed by the corpse and take it to Ji Sanniang to make autumn water cream?" β
Ji Erzhu slowly turned his head and looked at Fu Xiaojiu, a greedy gaze flashed in his eyes.
"If you don't pick up so many crystal orchids, do you have to let them rot? Such a good thing can't be ruined! If you don't say it, I don't say it, who can know where these crystal orchids grow? β
After Ji Erzhu finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the crystal orchid, bent down and picked a crystal orchid.
Fu Xiaojiu endured his nausea and persuaded Ji Erzhu: "But these crystal orchids grew up eating human flesh and blood!" How can such a thing be used in autumn water cream and then applied to people's faces? β
Ji Erzhu suddenly turned his head and looked at Fu Xiaojiu in astonishment, "You already know the use of Crystal Orchid?" β
Fu Xiaojiu nodded frankly, "I know that the crystal orchid is the most expensive formula in the autumn water cream, and it is also the key to the effect of the autumn water cream so well." β
Ji Erzhu immediately cast an admiring glance at Fu Xiaojiu, "You are not a miracle doctor, you can be so smart at a young age!" You're right, the secret ingredient of autumn water frost is here. β
"But how can such a crystal orchid be added to the autumn water frost? If it is known, Ji Sanniang's signboard will be smashed, who would dare to use her things? β
Fu Xiaojiu approached Ji Erzhu again, and said bitterly with the persuasion of his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
However, Ji Erzhu only had Crystal Lan in his eyes, and said viciously: "If you don't say it, I won't say it, who can know?" If this matter is known, it must be said by the two of you, and then I will let Sanniang settle accounts with you! β
"I knew you were such a despicable villain who forgot your righteousness, my lady shouldn't have saved you in the first place! My mother and my mother shouldn't have sacrificed their lives to save Ji Sanniang yesterday! β
Wan Lin was angry by Ji Erzhu's attitude, stepped forward to protect Fu Xiaojiu behind him, stared at Ji Erzhu coldly and said.
Wan Lin's words immediately made Ji Erzhu tense his nerves again, "What? You saved Sanniang yesterday? What's going on? β
Wan Lin told him that Ji Sanniang was bullied by Cao Heizi yesterday, and Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi came to the rescue.
"How can this be true? How can there be such a bad fanatic in the world? β
Ji Erzhu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, eager to break Cao Heizi's body into pieces.
Wan Lin said calmly: "We don't want to reciprocate by saving you and helping Ji Sanniang. But if we know that the person we are saving is a despicable villain who forgets his righteousness, we will have a bad conscience and regret our good deeds. We know what kind of person Ji Sanniang is, and we are really ashamed that she has an elder like you who only recognizes money! β
I don't know if Wan Lin's words were heavier, or because Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi saved Ji Sanniang again, the crystal orchid that Ji Erzhu was holding in his hand fell to the ground suddenly.
Wan Lin took the opportunity to say again: "Although these crystal orchids are full and plump, they are very attractive, but they are full of yin qi and are stained with human flesh and blood. Do you really want to give such a crystal orchid to your own niece?
"I ...... Ji Erzhu obviously hesitated.
Fu Xiaojiu took the opportunity to say: "Uncle Ji, we all know that you want to help Ji Sanniang, but you can't be too anxious." These crystal orchids just look good, we can't move. Let's go elsewhere and look for the Crystal Orchid. β
Ji Erzhu clenched his fists tightly, reluctantly glanced at Crystal Lan, and finally took a step back.
Fu Xiaojiu was afraid that Ji Erzhu would regret it, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "Uncle Ji, are all the crystal orchids used by Ji Sanniang that you are looking for?" β
Ji Erzhu nodded slightly, "That's right, the crystal orchid used by Sanniang was found by me." β
Wan Lin said with admiration: "Then you are really amazing, the crystal orchid is so rare, and you have actually found it." β
A trace of bitterness appeared in Ji Erzhu's eyes, "Who made her my only relative in this world?" β
"Don't you still have a daughter?" Fu Xiaojiu asked puzzled.
"My two daughters are married far away, and they both died during the famine and war a few years ago." When Ji Erzhu said this, tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes.
"What?" Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin invariably changed their faces.
Ji Erzhu lowered his head and said, "At that time, Sanniang just didn't want me to look too pitiful. I can actually survive to this day thanks to Sanniang. When I heard the news that my daughters had died, I didn't want to live anymore. I had already hung my belt on the beams of the house, my neck was stretched in, and the stool was kicked, and it was Sanniang who thought about me and came to see me, so she dragged me back from the ghost gate. Later, I found the crystal orchid by chance, and I brought it to Sanniang because it looked good, and she wanted to give me a lot of silver, but I didn't ask for it. I said that as long as I felt that I was still useful, I would be content. β
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin finally knew Ji Erzhu's story, and both of them had a sour nose.
Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but say: "But you can also make a piece of clothing without patches to wear, you are like this, Ji Sanniang is uncomfortable when she sees it." β
Ji Erzhu raised his head and suddenly smiled, "To be honest with you, I deliberately wore such a shabby dress, I know that Crystal Orchid is valuable, but I am afraid that people will know that I take Crystal Orchid with me every time I enter the city." β
"I see."
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin also smiled.
Ji Erzhu talked to the two of them, and he was much relieved, and said to the two of them: "Let's go, I know that there is a place where there may be crystal orchids, I'll take you over to have a look." β
