Chapter 126: An Unexpected Surprise
"So, between the time that Tai Sui appeared hundreds of years ago, and the time when it appeared on the third day of the first month of last month, did anyone in your village disappear inexplicably because of fishing in Baibao Lake?" Xiao Qiongzhi listened carefully and asked curiously.
Patriarch Liao shook his head: "No." There are a lot of fish in Baibao Lake, especially now that everyone is short of food, many people go fishing every day, and no one has ever had an accident while fishing. ”
"However, the fish in Baibao Lake are basically at the end of the morning and the beginning of the solstice, swimming to the shore of the water to breathe, it is easier to fish, after the beginning of the morning, they all dive into the deep water far away, there is no shadow, few people can catch it, even if the net is cast, it is useless."
In this way, this Tai Sui did not take the initiative to maliciously hurt people, which is still very different from beasts such as tigers and wolves.
If it weren't for saving Liu Wuxiu's life, Xiao Qiongzhi wouldn't want to disturb this Tai Sui's life at all.
But now, since it is rumored that it can come back to life, and Zheng Bang obviously agrees with this statement, then, even if the hope of catching it is extremely slim, it must be tried.
Next, after entering the deep mountains, Xiao Qiongzhi, with the help of Zheng Bang, found out Huaishan and mountain chestnuts as quickly as possible, and taught the village patriarchs to recognize them.
At the same time, she told everyone that although mountain chestnuts can be used to make food, the method of making food is ancestral and is not allowed to be passed on to others, so it can only be exchanged for the way of buying mountain chestnuts with silver to help everyone get food.
As for the specific purchase price, we will wait for about eight days before we can tell you.
"Little master, it turns out that under the yam egg is Huai Mountain, and under a yam egg vine, there are so many Huai Mountain, the same as Poria cocos, it's really good!"
"With it, the grain for the winter in our village, and the grain for the spring of the next year, is basically no problem, as for this mountain chestnut, you don't have to buy it, we will send it to you directly!" Unexpectedly, the patriarch of Wangjia Village was easily satisfied, and he didn't take the mountain chestnut seriously at all, and said sincerely.
"Yes, yes, little master, if it weren't for you, willing to tell us everyone, recognize these grains, we would all starve to death this winter, the mountain chestnuts you said are really nothing, we are willing to pick them all and give them to you!" The patriarch of Liujia Village immediately echoed.
"Little master, the four of us in Xujia Village are also willing to pick all the mountain chestnuts and give them to you!" The patriarch of Xujia Village followed closely and said.
……
Soon, all the patriarchs made a statement.
This made Xiao Qiongzhi very pleased.
Although she will definitely insist on spending money to buy mountain chestnuts in the future, everyone's heart of gratitude and reciprocation is precious and worthy of her cherishing.
On the way down the mountain, Xiao Qiongzhi asked Zheng Bang in a low voice: "Uncle, are you willing to accompany me to Baibao Lake to fish Tai Sui in the next few days?" ”
"Of course! Zhi'er, this is the best chance for you and your father to return to the family and restore their identity. Not only these days, but before I catch Tai Sui, I will be like Liao Xing, guarding Baibao Lake until I catch Tai Sui! ”
"Uncle, my father, isn't he, actually alive?" Xiao Qiongzhi heard the information revealed in Zheng Bang's words and asked curiously.
"Your father is the most wise and martial existence in the world, naturally he is still alive, the world knows, the dead him, in fact, is just a stand-in arranged for him by your grandmother." The corners of Zheng Bang's lips hooked.
"Then why didn't he let my mother know about it? If my mother knew that he was still alive, she would definitely not remarry someone else. Xiao Qiongzhi was a little depressed.
Zheng Bang replied very calmly: "Chu Yunniang is not qualified, she knows this." She is not actually your biological mother, but a cook who is important to your biological mother. When something happened to your family, your biological mother entrusted you to Chu Yunniang in order to let you avoid disputes and live a peaceful life. ”
"In order to hide people's eyes, at that time, she asked me and Chu Yunniang to pretend to be husband and wife, and take you away together, Chu Yunniang said to everyone, her dead husband is actually talking about me, not your father."
"Then my mother, are you okay now?" Xiao Qiongzhi became even more curious.
Zheng Bang shook his head: "She worries about you day and night, misses you sickly, and her health is not very good, but she is now living incognito with your father and your grandmother in a not very safe place, otherwise, your father would have asked me to take you back to them." ”
"Uncle, thank you for telling me this. I want to write a letter to comfort my mother, since you can know the situation of my father and my mother, can you help me send a letter to her? Xiao Qiongzhi thought about it and said very earnestly.
Zheng Bang was suddenly willing to tell her today that it was an unexpected surprise to know so much about her father's mother.
Maybe it's because of Tai Sui, because I'm too happy.
However, pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
She knew the world she remembered, how much her mother loved her.
The mother of this world, judging from the news revealed by Zheng Bang, obviously loves her very much.
She was not willing to let go of this mother at all, so she kept thinking about it.
Zheng Bang shook his head again: "No, it's too dangerous to pass on the letter." When I contacted your father, although I used carrier pigeons, according to your father's request, he never delivered letters, but only put different colors and different numbers of pigeons. ”
"For example, the white pigeon represents peace, the gray pigeon represents not very stable, the black pigeon represents an accident, and the flower pigeon represents no pole Tailai."
"For another example, two white doves represent the safety of two people, three white doves represent the safety of three people, a white dove and a black dove represent the safety of one person, one person has an accident, and so on."
It's a good idea, it's 100% safe.
The father, who has not yet met him, is indeed wise enough to think of such a method.
But Xiao Qiongzhi had never seen Zheng Bang raising pigeons, and was a little puzzled: "Uncle, since you contact my father and need to use pigeons, then, where do you keep those pigeons?" ”
Zheng Bang said: "The carrier pigeons I use are raised by me many years ago, and they already have the ability to go out to forage for food, so I don't need to feed them anymore." ”
"Usually, wherever I go, they follow me. As soon as I need them to deliver a message, all it takes is a whistle and they will show up. ”
"So, what method do you have to use to get them to go wherever you want them to go, and to see whomever you want them to see?" The more Xiao Qiongzhi listened, the more interesting she felt, and her eyes widened and she asked.
Zheng Bang smiled and replied patiently: "The county post station and the government post station usually have carrier pigeons that are responsible for delivering letters to various places. If I want my letter and pigeon to send a letter to a strange place, I only need to rent a post house pigeon to lead the team, and my own pigeon can follow along and find a place. ”
"As for who to meet, it's not difficult. For example, your father's carrier pigeon and I were deliberately locked together for a month in order to facilitate the transmission of information at any time. ”
"Then, even if he changes his place of life, I also change his place of life, as long as I know which approximate position he is, I can let my carrier pigeon, led by the post carrier pigeon, go to that approximate location, look for his carrier pigeon, and then find him through his carrier pigeon."
Ah, it turns out that there are so many tricks in this!
It's not easy.
Xiao Qiongzhi said with great interest: "Uncle, when the spring begins next year, I will also learn your method and raise carrier pigeons, so that I can contact my father and mother and give them a surprise." ”
Zheng Bang shook his head a little unexpectedly: "Raising pigeons is very time-consuming, not to mention, your father's carrier pigeon does not know your carrier pigeon, it is not very convenient, it is better to use my carrier pigeon directly." ”
"I'm not afraid of wasting time, I'm not afraid of inconvenience, I can use your carrier pigeons, to lead the team for my carrier pigeons. When my carrier pigeon is mixed with my father's carrier pigeon, it will be convenient in the future. Xiao Qiongzhi is full of confidence.
"Okay, then you can try." Zheng Bang knew that Xiao Qiongzhi was very assertive, so he didn't persuade much.
