Sure enough, the content of learning the rules that afternoon was to watch Wu Caiyun's torture. Steward Mei listed the big and small wrongdoings that Wu Caiyun had done since he entered the villa and announced the punishment. The two mothers-in-law set up the board one by one. This board was played very skillfully, and Wu Caiyun cried wolf in pain, but after being carried back to the bedroom, he could not see the skin injury. But she still lay in bed for five days before she could get out of bed, during which time Steward May appointed Tuesday Ni to take care of her.
Shocked by this incident, even if Tuesday Ni was dissatisfied with Wu Caiyun in her heart, she didn't dare to do anything. Although he didn't have a good face, he still served very thoughtfully, and he put all the skills of serving people taught by Ruan Guan into practice.
The girls also knew that all their words and deeds were under Yuan Tianye's surveillance, and they were all honest. Wu Caiyun is even more honest. Lin Xiaozhu didn't know what she thought in her heart, but on the surface, she always greeted Lin Xiaozhu with a smile, and after she could get out of bed, she rushed to help do it here and there.
Lin Xiaozhu was very satisfied with such a day. Regardless of whether some people are sincere or not, but a dormitory is not always as tense as before, all are harmonious, harmonious and calm, that's right!
And after that day, Lin Xiaozhu never saw Yuan Tianye again, even Yuan Cheng, Yuan Lin and others didn't see it, probably they went out of the mountain. Observing this situation, Lin Xiaozhu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. Although she was not afraid to go to his yard to fetch water, the little fox was a troublemaker. He is in the light, he is in the dark, and he may fall into his trap one day. With him there, she had to be vigilant at all times. Now, I can finally live a life of peace.
However, she still couldn't go back to work in the kitchen. Steward Qin didn't explain the reason, but just assigned another girl to take her and Wu Caiyun's place.
Although Lin Xiaozhu had some regrets in her heart, the fun of collecting firewood soon made her forget this regret. Although she wore it deep into the mountains, it was the second lunar month, when the spring was cold. I stayed in Xiashan Village for half a year and came here.
She hadn't seen the autumn in the ancient mountains yet.
And this group of girls, all of them are mountain girls, and they all know the wild fruits that grow on the mountains in autumn, which ones can be eaten and which ones are delicious. Lin Xiaozhu was originally a foodie, but now that there are mountains of delicious food waiting for her to taste, why don't you make her happy? Every time it comes to collecting firewood, it is her happiest time. Her body has a natural sense of taste, so she learned to "Shennong tastes a hundred herbs", and tasted the wild fruits that everyone said could be eaten.
She knows that knowing the ingredients is the homework that a good cook must do. Although I haven't had the opportunity to learn cooking yet, it is necessary to plan ahead and do things ahead.
On this day, she picked up the firewood and began her delicious journey again. I went all the way to the mountains picking wild fruits, and kept stuffing them in my mouth. Although these wild fruits can be eaten, she knows that some foods do not matter if they are eaten alone, but if they are eaten at the same time, they will produce chemical reactions, which will produce toxins, which will cause human body symptoms and death in severe cases. So she basically tasted the taste, and didn't dare to swallow it in her stomach. She won't repeat the wild fruit she tasted unless she couldn't remember the taste. However, she has a brilliant brain and has a very good memory. Once you've tasted it, you'll never forget it. As a result, it became more and more difficult for her to find new wild fruits that she had not tasted.
"Xiao Shu, we haven't eaten this before, let's pick some back and ask if we can eat it." She saw a red fruit hanging from the branches, swaying in the wind not far away, looking extremely seductive, and cried out excitedly.
Without hearing the response behind him, Lin Xiaozhu turned around and found that she was the only one in Siye except for the trees. She sighed - she was lost again, and it seemed that she would have to be scolded by Su Xiaoshu again. Every time she only cared about tasting wild fruits, she lost Su Xiaoshu while walking. This has happened more than once. But fortunately, there are no wild beasts on this mountain, she has two snake medicines given by Xia Shan tied to her ankles, as the saying goes, "July wasps and August snakes", now it is the end of September in the lunar calendar, and the snake has begun to prepare for hibernation, but there is no danger.
Thinking of Xia Shan, Lin Xiaozhu smiled. She had met him twice outside, and the boy was still so taciturn, and when she saw her, she only knew how to smile and she almost forgot what his voice looked like.
Stopping the cranky thoughts in his mind, Lin Xiaozhu walked towards the wild fruit. She had to quickly pick the wild fruit and go back, otherwise she would really be scolded to death by Su Xiaoshu.
With a "bang", Lin Xiaozhu's feet were empty, and the withered grass on his feet suddenly sank. She felt a chill in her heart: It's over, and her life is going to be confessed here.
"Woo, Buddha, God, Allah, all kinds of great gods...... Can I wear it back to modern times when I'm dead...... Belch! Before the prayer was finished, Lin Xiaozhu's voice stopped abruptly.
I was just panicking just now, but now I found that there was a thick layer of fallen leaves and dead grass on the ground and below. She just fell, in fact, it was like riding a slide, all the way down the slide. At the moment, except for some grass clippings on his hair and clothes, there is no damage on his body, let alone travel back to modern times.
"Whew." Lin Xiaozhu let out a long breath and patted his chest. She is dead in modern times, and it is harder to wear it back than to hit the jackpot. It's better to stay in this evil old society and be enslaved by Yuan Tianye!
Calming down the panic, Lin Xiaozhu stood up and looked at the terrain, wanting to see how to climb up. If you can't climb up, stay here for one night, and it is estimated that you will still have to cross.
Lin Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she heard the sound of "gurgling" water coming from the front. This is at the foot of the mountain, where does the flowing water come from? Isn't there an underground river here? Curious, she took a few steps ahead and found a hole in front of her, from which the sound of running water seemed to come from.
Looks like there's a cave here.
Lin Xiaozhu hesitated for a while, and decided to take a few steps forward to take a look. In the martial arts I watched in my previous life, didn't I often find martial arts cheats in a cave? Hehe, it's good if that's the case, quietly practice a peerless magic skill, defeat Yuan Tianye in a sudden uproar, and escape to walk the rivers and lakes. If this girl is happy, it's okay to accept him as a noodle!
With y/y in his mind, Lin Xiaozhu cautiously approached the cave. There was nothing unusual outside the cave entrance, neither dense vegetation nor terrible animals. The large clean and dry rocks are distributed on both sides of the cave entrance, and the ground is flat, unlike the uneven and uneven nature of ordinary caves......
"Flat?" Lin Xiaozhu finally found out that something was wrong. Not only is it level, but the entrance of the cave is also neatly built with two steps of stone.
It's over, could you have guessed right, there are really people who live here? Lin Xiaozhu was taken aback. After hesitating for a long time, I decided to stick my head in and find out. If there is really a martial arts cheat, but she doesn't even dare to enter the cave because she is timid, isn't she extremely stupid?
Encouraging himself like this, Lin Xiaozhu walked to the entrance of the cave and slowly stretched his head in. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. Thankfully, there wasn't the skull she had imagined. This cave is wide and spacious, the walls are empty, and there is nothing.
"Hey, what's that?" Lin Xiaozhu became excited. Sharp-eyed, she noticed a line of writing on the stone wall on the right. Is there really a cheat?
This guy is full of dreams of making a fortune, and he has long forgotten his fear in Java. Immediately jumped in front of the stone wall and carefully read the words on the stone wall.
"Ah, can you get to the town from here?" Lin Xiaozhu exclaimed. What was carved on the stone wall was not a martial arts map or anything like that, but a simple map. It is said to be simple, but it is just a line, with "this hole" written at this end and "Qingxi Town" written at the other end. There is also a note next to it: "Half a mile apart". Although the handwriting on the stone wall shows signs of corrosion, it is still clearly visible.
(Note: Ling Shui is her own mother.) There is no danger in this cave, Lin Xiaozhu will find the master who taught her cooking skills when she walks over, don't worry! ~( ̄▽ ̄)~ Thank you sun32 for the tip and nancyangen for the PK ticket! )
