Weng Lao is too mysterious, even if she can't be completely at ease with him, she can't resist the temptation brought by the attractive stories that Weng Lao said, so she went to the broken temple several times later to listen to Weng Lao's stories.

Weng Lao is also the first time to see a female doll so like to listen to his own story, which of those people he met before was not afraid to see him, and it was too late to hide and come forward, Weng Lao was happy, and the interest came up, and told her little by little about his experience over the years.

From him, Gu Changning learned that he had been to many places, each with its own characteristics, such as the way she was thinking about improving the barren land at the moment, and Weng Lao inadvertently said one.

Herbage.

Although I don't know why, some old farmers have found that if they grow pasture, they will always get more crops than in other places, so on barren land, some farmers first plant pasture, and after three years, they will replant crops.

Of course, this is usually only used on cleared land, and if it is already cleared, no farmer is willing to waste so many years of land just to grow pasture that is useless to them.

This is simply a fantasy for them, so such a solution has not spread.

Weng Lao also heard it by mistake from a farmer who was clearing the wasteland.

The land is owned by the pioneers, and there is no tax for the first three years of the land cleared, so some farmers take time to take their families to cultivate the land after doing farm work, planting grass while cultivating it, and only wait for three years to plant crops on the land.

This is a family with better conditions, with their own land, no need to rent tenants with others, so they have extra energy and time to open up wasteland.

If it is those who have no land in their hands and can only live by renting land, it is impossible to open up wasteland.

Because the rented fields have to pay rent, usually 40 to 50 percent of the harvest, it is already good for the peasants to keep half of their grain.

If you don't have enough to eat, you can either rent more land to grow crops, or find a way to go to the mountains to find wild vegetables and fruits, or do something else at home to increase your income.

Clearing land is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is not much food to grow in the first few years, so many people are reluctant to waste this time doing such things.

To be honest, at the beginning, Gu Shan spent money to invite the villagers to help clear the stones, otherwise it would be impossible for him to clean it alone.

Now that the land has been prepared, there is only a shortage of crops, Gu Changning thought about it, or set aside a small part for planting pasture.

It just so happens that the grass can be used to feed the chickens, and the grass stalks can also be used to boil water to cook rice after drying, which is not a waste.

Of course, one of the most important reasons is that she happened to find a bag of alfalfa seeds at the village entrance seller a few days ago, which was an unexpected surprise, and that bag of seeds was not expensive, a bag of seeds weighing almost a pound only cost a penny, and she bought it decisively at that time.

At that time, after the seller saw her buy the bag of seeds without hesitation, he looked at her in surprise, and repeatedly said that it was just a bag of forage seeds, Gu Changning nodded and said that he knew.

Seeing that she insisted on buying, the seller didn't stop her, but he felt that this child's brain was not very good.

A penny can buy a lot of food, like a steamed bun for a penny, maltose for a penny, and sugar gourd for a penny, but she wants to buy this forage seed that can't be eaten or drunk, it's really strange.

And the reason why he brought that bag of forage seeds in the first place was because on the way to sell goods, he saw a little guy hungry and pitiful, so he gave him half a steamed bun.

As a result, when the little guy saw it, he said that he couldn't take him for nothing, so he ran to the back mountain and groped for a while, and got him this bag of pasture seeds.

Seeing that he insisted on giving it to himself, the seller took it, and said in his heart at that time, which fool would spend money on this, and then it would take less than two months for this fool to come.

Gu Changning, who didn't know that he had an inexplicable nickname, checked the alfalfa seeds in his hand, put them away with satisfaction, and prepared to sprinkle some after harvesting the crops in the vegetable garden.

Just when Gu Changning was busy tossing his own one-acre vegetable garden while waiting to see what would happen to the Li family after the new daughter-in-law entered the door, Aunt Zhou's case was still under investigation.

"Boss, I asked everything you wanted me to ask, Uncle Zhou was a shadow puppet actor when he was young, and he followed a troupe to the north and south, and then he couldn't make money doing this, so he left the troupe, returned to Xinghua Village, married a wife and had children." Li Yuansan walked beside Xue Mingkai and said.

"And he knows how to do ventriloquism?" Xue Mingkai suddenly thought of something and asked.

"How do you know? He would indeed be, according to what the shopkeeper told me, Uncle Zhou once got drunk at his place, and performed this trick for him on the spot, and the shopkeeper was stunned by the vivid tone he imitated, and slapped his hands vigorously and shouted hello, not to mention how happy the two chatted. Li Yuansan said, "But the strange thing is that when Uncle Zhou woke up, he said that he wouldn't admit it." ”

Xue Mingkai nodded and said softly: "So that's the case, no wonder." ”

"What's the wonder?" Li Yuansan asked curiously.

Xue Mingkai pushed his big pie face away a little expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Go find the man, we have to re-examine the autopsy." ”

Re-autopsy? Li Yuansan looked at Xue Mingkai with wide eyes in horror, his eyes full of reluctance.

It's been a few days since the death of the eldest mother this week, and the corpses have begun to stink and rot, and they are panicking in their hearts, can he not go!

"What are you doing? Keep up! ”

Hope was shattered, Li Yuansan hung his head and followed without saying a word.

***

"Ningning."

After dinner, Gu Changning was checking the dried fungus in the courtyard, when suddenly a voice came from behind her, she looked back and replied, "What's wrong?" ”

"I see that there is a cool wind blowing in the yard now, and the dragonflies are flying low just now, and I feel that it may rain later. lest they be rained. Gu Huai'an stood at the door of the main hall of the South House, looked up at the sky, and said.

"Really?" Gu Changning looked at the sky for a while, but there were a few dark clouds, as if it was likely to rain, so he said, "Well, then take it back and put it first." ”

The brother and sister moved all the things in the yard back to the house, and after making sure that nothing was missing, the two went back to their rooms.

As soon as he returned to the house, a flash of lightning suddenly struck the sky, and then a rumbling thunder sounded, and the rain poured down, and the rain under the eaves was almost forming a curtain of rain.

"Sure enough, it was raining heavily, but fortunately, my brother reminded me in advance, so things didn't get wet." Gu Changning stood at the door of the house and felt the cool breeze with the rain, patted his chest happily, and said.

There is a lot of rain in summer, so you can pay more attention in the future, so as not to mold things due to moisture.

When he woke up the next day, Gu Changning, who had a good night's sleep, stretched his waist on the kang before getting off the kang.

Thanks to the rainstorm last night, there was a hint of coolness throughout the night, and she slept well without the sweltering heat of the previous days.

After breakfast and cleaning up the stove, Gu Changning said to A-Niang, and then carried the basket on his back and prepared to pick up the leak.

The rain fell so hard last night that maybe there were branches in the forest that were knocked down, and she went to pick them up and dry them, and it was another good firewood.

However, as soon as he walked into the forest, he saw a figure shaking in front of him, and Gu Changning, who was conspiracy theorists for the first time, hurriedly hid, hid under a big tree surrounded by two people, poked out his little head to look, and froze in the next second when he saw the person coming, silently watching the person's actions.

This person is Gu Liubo's grandmother who lives in the northwest, she holds a small basket in her hand, steps on the still wet ground step by step, bends down to pick the mushrooms that have emerged, and puts them back into her basket one by one, with a numb look on her face throughout the whole process.

Gu Changning suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she silently watched her grandmother pick a small basket of mushrooms, found a few wild vegetables, and then slowly straightened up, carrying this basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms back to her dilapidated house.

"Sixth Uncle Grandmother...... Is there no food to eat? She stood there and muttered.

We all know that mushrooms are delicious, but ordinary people don't pick them easily, if one accidentally mixes in a poisonous mushroom, it is the rhythm of the whole family going to see Hades together.

Those who will pick and eat will either be very familiar with mushrooms and have a strong confidence that they will not pick poisonous mushrooms, or they will take risks to pick mushrooms when they can't open the pot at home and the wild vegetables have been picked again.

Gu Changning finished picking up the firewood with a heavy heart, and went home with a frown twisted all the way.

"What's wrong with Ning Ning? How do you feel that there are a little few words today? After Gu Huai'an came back from school, he felt that Gu Changning's appearance was not right, and he asked quietly to A-Niang, who was standing aside and collecting her clothes.

"I don't know, she was happy when she went out in the morning, and when she came back, it was like that, and when I asked her, she only said it was okay and told me not to worry." Yang Huiyun put away the clothes and sighed, and said, "The child is older, and he has something on his mind." ”

The corners of Gu Huai'an's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to answer this.

Ning Ning is only an eight-year-old child, will it be too exaggerated for A-Niang to say this.

Gu Changning's silence lasted until the evening, and after the meal was ready, Gu Changning took a clean bowl, first beat the rice, and then piled up vegetables on top of the rice, put the bowl of rice in a small basket and covered it, and quickly carried it out of the yard.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to say to his brother who was sweeping the yard: "Brother, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon, you can bring the meal to the main hall first." ”

Gu Huai'an was stunned for a moment, his reaction was a few seconds slower, and Gu Changning disappeared.

He looked out of the door in surprise and looked around, his face full of surprise.

What happened, why did Ning Ning go in such a hurry?
