At that time, 'Huashen Village' was the collective name of the three villages. In other words, in addition to the current 'Flower God Village', the two villages next door are also among them.

So they simply divided into two teams and inquired about the news of the 'Huashen Village' respectively.

The two villages next door are not far away. It's just that the three villages, which were originally like a family, are now incompatible.

At the entrance of each village stands a stone with the name of their village written on it.

The village where Chu Yuqin and Zhu Han went was called Lizi Village.

"This lady, can you ask for a glass of water?" Chu Yuqin called the eldest lady who lived in the yard to sew and mend clothes.

The eldest lady looked up at her and Zhu Han, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Yo, where did the little girl come from, she looks really good."

"My brother and I came to look for relatives, and when we were halfway there, we were robbed of our burdens, and now we have to find a place to earn some money before continuing to travel."

Chu Yuqin's face was full of loss.

"Brother and sister? It doesn't look like it at all. However, both of them are quite good-looking. "The eldest lady opened the door of the fence yard." Come on in! I'll pour you some water. It's not easy to go out and about. I have some polenta left over in the morning, if you don't dislike it, eat some! ”

"I don't dislike it, I certainly don't dislike it. Auntie, you are so kind-hearted. When I was at the door just now, I thought I saw my mother. Auntie, you and my mother look alike. Chu Yuqin said: "It's just that your family doesn't seem to be well-off, and I can't take advantage of you." ”

The eldest lady came out of the kitchen with two and a half bowls of polenta.

The bowl was a little broken and had many small openings on it. In poor homes, such bowls are common. The previous Chu family was also in such a state.

Chu Yuqin naturally took it, and saw that Zhu Han also naturally took the broken bowl, so he was relieved.

"Sit down and eat! Look at your brothers and sisters, they are not very old, they are about the same as my children. If you're away from home, it's not a big deal to help with things that are easy to help. The eldest lady continued to sit down and mend her clothes. But as you just said, my family is not rich, and there is only a limit to what I can do to help you. ”

The eldest lady is threading the needle. However, my eyes are a little cloudy and I can't see clearly.

Chu Yuqin handed the bowl to Zhu Han next to him, took the initiative to help the eldest lady thread the needlework, and then handed it back to her.

"What a good girl." The eldest lady said, "What are your brothers and sisters' plans next?" ”

"I heard that there is a flower god village nearby, where they grow flowers for a living. Our family used to be in the flower and herb business, and we are considering whether to go there to make a living. Chu Yuqin had been observing the change in the eldest lady's expression when she was speaking.

Sure enough, when it came to Huashen Village, the eldest lady's expression was immediately unsightly.

"You're going to the Flower God Village?"

Chu Yuqin and Zhu Han glanced at each other.

When the eldest lady glared at her, she trembled very 'cooperatively'.

"No...... Isn't it possible? Is it true that Huashen Village does not recruit outsiders? ”

The eldest lady thought that she was a little girl from outside and didn't understand anything, and her face recovered a little.

"Nope. It's just that it's not a good place, so it's better to go to the city and find a job to do. ”

"Why? Our family is also in the flower and herb business. Our family is so nice. My mother said that people who often deal with flowers and plants are not only simple-minded, but also have beautiful hearts. Chu Yuqin said deliberately.

"Huh! Simple-minded? You little girl is really well protected by her family. The eldest lady said, "Anyway, I have said what I should have said." It's your business that you don't listen. After eating corn porridge and drinking plain water, you can do whatever you want, and don't occupy my place. ”

Chu Yuqin took off the earrings and put them in the palm of the eldest mother's hand.

"Thank you, auntie. You have a good heart, just like my mother. Our baggage has been robbed, and there is nothing else to give you. This pair of earrings is gold and worth a few bucks. If you pawn it or sell it, you can exchange it for dozens of catties of cornmeal and eat it. Then my brother and I won't bother. ”

"Wait a minute. You are penniless now. Why did you give me such a valuable thing? The eldest lady said.

"It's not enough for us to do the coiling, we still have to find a job to do. So it's better to give it to you first, which can be regarded as repaying your kindness for the meal just now. Chu Yuqin laughed very harmless and innocent. My brother and I are two people! As long as you find a job to do, you will definitely be able to earn money. ”

"You still want to go to Huashen Village?" The eldest lady hesitated. "Forget it. I think you're all good boys. There was something that could not be said. But I can't watch you go into the wolf's den, so I'll tell you! That Huashen Village is a wolf's den, don't go, be careful of being gnawed until there are no bones left. ”

After making an appointment with Ling Shengyi for two hours, he returned to Huashen Village to gather. Chu Yuqin and Zhu Han didn't take two hours, and ended the conversation in one hour.

When they returned to Huashen Village, Ling Shengyi and Bishui had not returned.

"Miss Chu, Master Zhu, you are finally back." The village chief came over with a wooden carving. "I wonder how I rested last night?"

Chu Yuqin smiled as before: "It's good." I'm a person who is at peace with what happens, even if I change the environment, I can still rest well. The village chief doesn't have to worry. ”

"That's good. Then we can talk about something else today. We didn't finish talking about it yesterday, so let's talk about the details slowly today. ”

"That's right." Chu Yuqin said: "I may be infected with the wind cold and my body is not very comfortable. Just now, Brother Zhu wanted to take me around, but he felt uncomfortable before he reached the entrance of the village. If the village chief is not in a hurry, I would like to take a break before talking. You tell me? ”

"Well...... Of course there is no problem. I'm always there. Miss Chu will send someone to call me when the time comes. Since Miss Chu is uncomfortable, then we won't bother. Wood carving, you stay here to serve Miss Chu. The village chief instructed the wood carving next to him.

The wood carving said twice, and it was a promise to the village chief.

The village chief took two steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Aren't there still two of you?" Why didn't you see the boy and the young lady? ”

"Is the village chief looking for us?" Ling Shengyi came from a distance. "The scenery in your village is really nice. I saw the flowers you planted, and they were blooming wonderfully. ”

When the village chief saw Ling Shengyi, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise." The old man also asked casually. If you have any orders, just ask the wood carvings. ”

"I'm bothered by the village chief." Ling Shengyi said.

Bishui came over and took Chu Yuqin's hand.

"Yuqin, I'm a little hungry. You can help me make me something to eat! ”

Chu Yuqin smiled: "Okay! Are you tired? Let's go back to our room and rest! I'll come back to you later. ”

The wood carving babbled, gesturing in his hand.

Look at what he means, it's what he means by wanting to cook for them.

"No need, wood carving. I have heavy tastes and am a bit picky about eating. I'll just do it myself. Feel free to do so! I'll look for you if there's anything. Chu Yuqin said.
