Chapter 8 200 Years of He Shou Wu
Today's harvest was quite abundant, and the little fish held a large pile of wild vegetables and the "sweet potato", and hummed a little song when he went down the mountain.
This is a small song in the memory of the original owner, and she doesn't know what the name of the song is, but she can hum it into a tune anyway.
When he walked under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village, Xiaoyu saw several villagers enjoying the shade here.
It's noon, and it's not the time to farm, so the nearby villagers come here to cool off after their work.
"Xiaoyu, why are you going to pick wild vegetables today?" Some villagers called her.
Xiao Yu felt that these villagers were all familiar, but they couldn't be named, but when people called her, she also replied politely: "Yes." ”
"The little fish looks a lot more elf!" Another villager said.
The little fish grinned, looking simple and cute.
"Xiaoyu, what are you holding in your hand? It's just that thick one. Someone saw the "sweet potato" in Xiaoyu's hand.
Xiao Yu said: "It may be...... Sweet potato, I'm not sure. ”
As a result, one of the villagers said in surprise: "Xiaoyu, you are not a sweet potato, I look like He Shou Wu." ”
Xiao Yu didn't understand what He Shou Wu was, and when he saw that the villager was so surprised, he said, "What is He Shou Wu?" ”
The villager walked up to Xiao Yu, stared at the "sweet potato" in Xiao Yu's hand for a while, and then said: "That's right, this is He Shou Wu, looking at this size and color, it has been at least 200 years." ”
Xiaoyu thought to herself: That's not as old as me.
Seeing this, several others also gathered around, and everyone looked at He Shou Wu of Xiaoyu, and then discussed.
The villagers all love to watch the excitement, and the villagers not far away also surrounded them when they saw this, and after a while, there were many villagers on the inside and outside of the three floors.
"Xiaoyu, where did you pick it up?"
"Xiaoyu, why are you so lucky? I go up to the mountains every day to chop wood, and I never touch it. ”
“……”
Xiao Yu listened to their words, it seemed that this He Shou Wu was a rare thing, but she didn't care about this, she only asked: "That...... Can't you eat this thing? ”
"It's not a question of whether you can eat it...... these villagers all know that Xiaoyu is a stupid girl, and they all tell her that it is He Shou Wu, and she is still struggling with whether she can eat it, this is something that can be sold for a lot of money.
"Xiaoyu, you'd better give this He Shou Wu to your current mother-in-law, let her deal with it, and don't put it by your side." Some villagers kindly reminded her.
As he was talking, another person squeezed up at this time, it was Niu Hong, the village chief's daughter-in-law, Xiaoyu's ex-mother-in-law.
Niu Hong just sent Li Chengye to the township to take a car, and on the way back, she saw that there was a bustle here, and she heard that Xiaoyu picked up a 200-year-old He Shou Wu, and she subconsciously wanted Xiaoyu to hand over He Shou Wu to her.
In the past, Xiaoyu also picked up a lot of good things in the mountains, and they were all handed over to Niu Hong.
Just as she was about to speak, Niu Hong suddenly realized that Xiaoyu was no longer from her family, and with so many villagers surrounding, she couldn't openly let Xiaoyu give it to her.
Xiao Yu saw that everyone said that this He Shou Wu was a rare thing, and she vaguely guessed that this thing was not simple, although it could not be eaten, but it might have other effects.
She didn't bother whether she could eat it or not, anyway, she just took it home first.
Xiaoyu continued to go home with wild vegetables and He Shou Wu, but the villagers did not follow, only discussed under the banyan tree:
"If this is sold at the market, it can be sold for seventy or eighty yuan."
"What's more? This is a rarity, and it is not too much to sell for a hundred or two hundred. ”
