Chapter 56, Wangcai, you are really getting more and more prosperous
She so carefully unfolded the rice paper that had already been clumped, but in the end, she tore a small hole with a shake of her hand. The paper had yellowed and could be seen to be many years old.
Xin Yi is not illiterate, after all, she can still recognize the unsigned book from beginning to end, but it is very difficult for the paper in front of her. There is no other reason than dim light. In addition, the person who wrote this word obviously has a lot of calligraphy skills, and this font really has a bit of 'fluttering dragon, like a shock' charm.
It's a pity that she ...... See! No! Clear!
If you say this word, it's really good-looking, and it's good-looking, and I almost don't understand a word. No, it's a bit biased to say that, but she can still make out a few words on this piece of paper.
At least it can be seen that it is an epistle.
Yes, the Epistles, and...... It seems that it was written to the emperor?
Xin Yi picked the words he knew, and found that they were the left and right - the big characters at the beginning and end could be recognized. Approaching the firelight and taking a closer look, the opening chapter reads: "The minister plays the emperor", and at the end, there is "kneeling and asking for the holy judge" as the end, and the payment "Hubu Shangshu holds the end".
Tobe Shangshu is an official name, and she still knows it with a little common sense. The word 'holding' at the end seems to be the person's name.
At this time, Wangcai beckoned, "Sir, can you see the steamed buns baked like this~" As he spoke, it seemed that the voice was getting closer and closer.
Xin Yi watched here for a long time, and it is estimated that this is the harvest. So he casually stuffed the letter into the box, closed the lid of the box, and went out to see Wangcai.
At this time, Wangcai came with a roasted brown steamed bun with chopsticks from nowhere, and when he saw Xin Yi, he was just stunned, and then said: "Sir, you are here...... That one...... The steamed buns you took were all wet, so I put them by the stove and roasted them on my own initiative. ”
She generously took the steamed bun, tore off a piece and put it in her mouth to chew, feeling that the skin was crunchy and the wheat fragrance was overflowing, so she nodded, "What about your son-in-law?" ”
"I'm also eating dinner, and seeing that you're not there, that's why I asked you if this is still delicious."
"It's done." As she spoke, she ate generously, and while chewing, she looked at Mu Fangjin, who was sitting against the wall, and walked over and sat next to him.
"What did you just see in the house? Been there for so long? He chuckled, "What?" Catchy? ”
"Look, of course." She raised her steamed bun proudly, "I just found out that there is a bed in the house, but there is no bedding, in fact, it is almost the same as sleeping on the ground......" Xin Yi said while biting the steamed bun again, "But look at this house is really uninhabited all year round, it is estimated that there is a futon, and it has already grown mushrooms." ”
Mu Fangjin's eating is not better than hers, obviously it is a matter of etiquette education chewing slowly, "Have you found anything else?" ”
When she heard this, she hooked a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Yes, but I won't tell you, the secret of heaven must not be revealed~"
"Virtue." Mu Fangjin was too lazy to argue with her, it seemed that the defeat just now made him angry, so he just sneered at two words and didn't delve into it.
When they finished eating, the three of them went to bed early so that they could leave tomorrow morning. Although it can be said that the situation is bleak when encountering heavy rain in the mountains, it can be said that it is a desperate life to suddenly encounter such a wooden house.
Although Xin Yi felt that living in a house, even if he slept on a hard bed, it was better than sleeping in the open, at least the door would not be invaded by wild beasts, and there was no need to keep vigil in shifts. But from another point of view, since this place is inhabited, I am afraid that it is still a long way from the depths of the forest, and if it is said that the search for Ganoderma lucidum will have to be a long journey.
The rain began to fall all night, and finally stopped when the first rays of sunlight peeked through the horizon. After a few people washed, they stuffed two more mouthfuls of steamed buns that had become dry to cushion their stomachs before going on the road.
It had just rained, and the air was filled with the scent of grass and a faint smell of earth. Such fresh air is long overdue in the 21st century, and she was the first to step outside, stretch her waist, and take a deep breath.
"What is this doing, sir?" Mu Fangjin then yawned and walked out, "Watching the sky? Let's see if it will rain again? ”
"Even if it rains, we won't be able to come back here." Xin Yi turned to him and smiled.
This smile made Mu Fangjin slightly stunned, and finally he nodded. "That's right."
After Wangcai sorted out all the burdens, the group of three began to march towards the depths of the jungle......
…… Don't worry, this chapter isn't over yet!
Heading all the way north, radiating from the depths to the surrounding areas, you should always find a place off the beaten track. Now they had been walking for most of the day, and by noon they were already in the place where they were traveling, and because of this, the pace of their march was much slower. Along the way, it seems that because of a mountain rain last night, all kinds of mushrooms and fungi arched out of the ground, and she also saw them, but there was no shadow of Ganoderma lucidum. Mushrooms grow in shady places...... And high humidity, high humidity?
Is it possible that you have to be next to the stream?
Seeing Xin Yi stop, Mu Fangjin also followed, "Sir, what do you want?" Wouldn't it be that you pinched your fingers, there is no Ganoderma lucidum in this Beirong Mountain? ”
"Look, you've cursed yourself." Xin Yi glanced at him, "I think we've gone deep enough into the forest, I think this Lingzhi should have enough humidity to grow, why don't we explore it...... There is no river around here? Or is it a larger stream? ”
"You're a local, you're a guide, you don't know?" Mu Fangjin stared at her, "Yesterday you found the wooden house, I also thought you had a little effect, why, now I can't recognize the road at all?" ”
"I ...... It's not like I haven't been here in a long time...... I don't remember. She said embarrassedly, "Let's let Wangcai go around and have a look?" ”
Wangcai was already at the end of the walk with something on his back at this time, and when he saw the two of them stop, he was also tired and sat on the ground. As soon as I heard that I was going to let him go around again, I looked at the two of them with tears in my eyes, "Sir, you can spare me, you have to let the little one take a breath." ”
"You're tired, I'm still tired." Xin Yi said curtly, "Besides, even if we don't look for Ganoderma lucidum, we have to see where there is a water source, right?" Either you die of thirst before you are tired. She said, looking around.
"Wangcai, go quickly." Mu Fangjin called his entourage, and now it sounds like training a dog. However, when he heard Xin Yi say this, he urged: "You don't need to run to the river, come back and tell me when you hear the sound of water." ”
Wangcai saw that his life and death had been sold, so he could only hang his head and walk towards the west very unhappily. Seeing Wangcai walking away, Xin Yi and Mu Fangjin also casually pulled the grass, and sat down to rest when they saw that there were no snakes.
Xin Yi grabbed the grass stalk and played with it in his hand, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Mu Fangjin carrying a small cloth bag and pouring it out, and there were strange stones inside. Just now, I always saw what he picked up and stuffed into his pocket, and daring was a stone? Xin Yi frowned, but he felt that the stone seemed to be more ugly than ordinary rocks. "What is this? Ore? ”
"It's ore, but it's not classified." As he spoke, he put it in his hand and checked it, "Beirong Mountain is rich in mineral deposits, although it has not been dug deeply, but there are already a lot of these scattered on the surface. Even if there is no Ganoderma lucidum this time, it is not a gain at all. ”
"I still don't believe that these broken stones can make more money than Ganoderma lucidum." Xin Yi said sarcastically: "Give gifts to the leader, not Ganoderma lucidum, give these?" ”
"What, when did I say that I wanted Lingzhi to give it to the chief...... before he finished speaking, he had already heard the sound of footsteps, and then Wangcai ran back in a hurry.
"Childe~ I just walked less than forty or fifty steps before I heard the sound of water!" Wangcai is very proud of his sensitive hearing, which brings him one step closer to the resemblance of a real dog. "I heard the sound of water before I saw anything, this river must be not small!"
Xin Yi and Mu Fangjin glanced at each other, and then Mu Gongzi put the collected ore back into his pocket, got up and dragged Wangcai away.
"Childe...... Childe, why don't you let me take a breath! "Wangcai wants to cry without tears.
"I'll let you rest when we get to the river," Xin Yi looked back at him, "don't be upset, give you meat and bones, good." ”
Seeing that his master did not refute, Wangcai still walked forward so firmly, so he could only follow obediently with a broken face, and by the way, spit out a few whining bubbles with a decibel that others could not hear.
But Wangcai is Wangcai, and the skill of recognizing the road is probably much better than Xinyi. Sure enough, within thirty steps, I heard the sound of rushing water. After walking for a while, the sound of the water became louder and louder, and when I came to the front, I concluded that it was indeed a small river with plenty of water. The streams in the mountain streams are actually not uncommon, and Xin Yi also thought that since it rained at night last night, several streams would definitely be washed out today. But the small river in front of you is different, and it can be seen that the river is about ten meters wide, and it must have always existed. Since this river has always existed, there should be a fungus in the shade nearby...... Ganoderma lucidum is no exception.
"We'll have to cross the river and see." Xin Yi swore and pointed to the increasingly dense and gloomy woods opposite, "Maybe there's one in there." ”
“…… But how did the river get there? Mu Fangjin raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Such a narrow river...... Of course? She said, turning her gaze to Wangcai again. You say, prosperous. ”
Wangcai put on a face that was about to cry, and sat on the ground, "Go, go, what do you say you want to do with the small ones...... My legs are sore...... Childe, can you let the little one rest first? ”
"Out of breath." Mu Fangjin saw that he was tired and was about to stick out his tongue, so he glanced at him, barely agreeing, but he still hummed dissatisfied.
