Chapter 467: Impure Soil

Shimei said that this piece of paper was written to her by Xiuniang once, and she didn't know what the eight characters of birth meant at that time, and she didn't know how to read, so she only carefully put away this piece of paper.

And that handkerchief was embroidered by Xiuniang and given to Shimei by herself.

Shimei has never been willing to use it, so she hasn't been contaminated with too much of her breath.

Yu Xia took out a piece of rice paper and copied Xiuniang's birthday.

Then I did the math on paper.

"A red face is better than a person's life, don't complain about the spring breeze. Half a lifetime of duckweed with the passing water, a night of cold rain burial flowers. ”

This......

Yu Xia frowned, took out three more copper coins, grabbed a handkerchief in one hand, held three copper coins in the other, closed his eyes and meditated, and then threw the copper coins into the air.

Yu Xia looked at the three copper coins that fell on the table, grabbed the copper coins and threw them up.

Repeat six times.

Yu Xia's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Shi Mei had been observing Yu Xia's expression, and when she saw her like this, her heart lifted.

Yu Xia looked at the worried stone girl and smiled gently.

"Her eight characters are too difficult to calculate, I'm tired today, I can't calculate it for the time being, I'll count it again for you tomorrow, okay?"

Shi Mei breathed a sigh of relief, a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and she left happily.

The room returned to calm, and Yu Xia sighed as she looked at the three copper coins on the table and the sentence she had just written.

I'm afraid I'll never find that person......

Early the next morning, Yu Xia and the three of Ku's family gathered around a table to eat. For breakfast, there is noodle soup and side dishes such as stuffed tofu.

Yu Xia didn't eat less stuffed tofu yesterday, but today she didn't move her chopsticks, just stared at the plate of tofu.

Wu Gou thought she was interested in tofu and made a special introduction.

"The tofu in Shikou Village is very famous, almost every household has a grinding plate, the grinding plate of the Ku family is very large, and it is pulled by livestock.

Yu Xia looked at Ku Zongshan, who had sandwiched several pieces of tofu in a row, and thought that if it was really the master's love to eat, the next person would make more.

"Is it going to be a wall in a moment? Which side is the chisel to chisel? Ku Zongshan asked.

Today, the faces of the couple looked even more haggard, and it seemed that they had been tortured a lot last night. I asked at this time, probably to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Mrs. Ku was a little puzzled, "Is there a problem with the newly built wall, and the wall still needs to be chiseled?" ”

Ku Zongshan told Mrs. Ku about the discoveries of Yu Xia yesterday.

Mrs. Ku thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded at the group.

Yu Xia didn't think about it, took a sip of noodle soup and pointed to the west, "Just the corner of the west side of that room." ”

That's where the pigsty is.

Ku Zongshan was a little reluctant, "The smell there is not good, do you want to change rooms?" ”

Yu Xia shook his head.

"That's it, if the wall is torn down, it won't affect your daily life."

Since Yu Xia insisted, the others didn't say anything.

When he had finished eating, Yuada came in with two men with iron pickaxes.

Yu Xia looked at the two of them dressed, as if they were specialized in working on mud tiles.

"Were you the ones who re-mudd the wall in the first place?" Yu Xia asked.

After Wu Gou's retelling, Yu Xia learned that the population of this village is not large, some are engaged in farming, some are fishing, and some are working as boatmen, masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, butchers and other work, and there are very few people doing it.

Such a big house, relying only on two people, from soil selection, crushed soil to soil, the early stage of the project is quite huge, requiring two people to shovel and shovel, and then pull to the Ku family's house, crush, and then build a wall with soil.

"At that time, there were only two of us, the Ku family's house was big, and they were in a hurry, we worked day and night, and we barely finished it in a short time, plus the drying of the wall, it took more than half a month before and after, and it didn't affect the living at all."

Yu Xia immediately grasped the key information in their words.

"Day and night?"

The two masons nodded, "It was okay a few days ago, but suddenly one day he began to urge us, saying that Master Ku was coming back soon, and we couldn't delay him to stay, so we could only stay at night and strive to finish the work as soon as possible." ”

Mr. and Mrs. Ku had been following, and when they heard the mason's words, Ku Zongshan glanced at Mrs. Ku with a smile.

"Kasa is a god of vali."

There is no need for Wu Gou to relay, Yu Xiaguang can know that he is thanking his virtuous and considerate wife when he looks at Ku Zongshan's soft eyes at Mrs. Ku.

Mrs. Ku also smiled, blushing slightly.

"This couple has a good relationship."

Bai Zhenqian whispered into Yu Xia's ear and said.

Yu Xia smiled.

The location of the pigsty is a little far away from the place where people move like the bedroom and kitchen, and it occupies a lot of land in the far corner of the side yard.

Yu Xia pointed to a position in the corner of the pigsty, this position is shady, and inside is a stone pig trough, if you knock here, you don't have to worry about the pigs inside running out.

Bai Zhenqian couldn't help but wrinkle her nose when she approached the pigsty.

This taste...... It's kind of fascinating.

Ling Wufeng immediately tore off two small strips of cloth from his sleeve and formed a ball, "You can just use this to block your nostrils." ”

Bai Zhenqian's face turned green, and she didn't know if she was angry or stinky.

Yu Xia smiled and handed Bai Zhenqian a talisman.

"It's a breath-holding charm, a time to hold your breath for a stick of incense."

Bai Zhenqian hurriedly took the talisman like seeing a life-saving straw, pasted it on her body, and felt a lot better.

Yu Xia distributed one of these talismans to everyone.

Mr. and Mrs. Ku's stickers thought it was amazing.

Looking at Yu Xia, his gaze carried a hint of awe.

The two masons were quick with their hands and feet, and soon chiseled the corners of the wall. Yu Xia stood behind them, watching as the soil on the new building was cut down, revealing the soil from the previous building.

Yu Xia asked the two masons to sweep away the new soil, and then asked them to knock down the old soil from the previous time.

The old soil was quickly knocked down.

Yu Xia asked two masons to go to the courtyard with clods of earth.

At this time, the sun had already risen, and the rising sun shone in the courtyard, dispelling some of the cold air of the early spring morning.

Bai Zhenqian frowned, "I don't see anything unusual in this soil." ”

That is, the color is old, there are more cracks, and you can't see the difference from other houses.

Cheng Buchi looked solemn and kept staring at the soil.

Yu Xia squatted down, picked up a piece of soil, then broke off a small piece and crushed it.

"Senior Brother Cheng, do you think there's anything wrong with this soil?"

Cheng Buchi also squatted down to watch, crushing a clod of soil and rubbing it carefully in his hand.

"This soil is not pure."

"Huh?"

Cheng Buchi carefully rubbed the soil, stared at it for a long time, and then sent it to his nose to smell it carefully.

"There should be something else in this soil, but I can't tell what there is for the time being."

Yu Xia grabbed the soil and got up and smiled.

"What's in the dirt, Mrs. Ku, tell us about it?"
