"The girl actually recognizes the persimmon tree?"

"Well, because when I was a child, my favorite food was persimmons. My grandmother loved persimmons very much, and my father looked around for filial piety, and found many different persimmon trees back, and this cow heart persimmon was one of them. I have been playing in these persimmon trees since I was a child, and the more I have seen, the more I can distinguish some of them. This is a high school persimmon, with a small fruit shape, a relatively compact flesh, and a high quality. This persimmon tree is suitable for growing in the cold-tolerant areas of the north and has a high yield of persimmons. The one next to it should be chicken heart yellow, and the one over there looks like a mill persimmon. ”

"The girl really knows it." The little maid's eyes were full of surprise: "My wife also loves persimmons very much, in addition to eating them raw, she will also make some persimmons, persimmon vinegar or something every year." ”

"This persimmon vinegar is a good thing, especially for the elderly, it can lower blood lipids and blood pressure." Bai Li crossed his fingers and said: "Autumn and winter are dry, easy to dry and itchy throat, soak white sugar and persimmon vinegar together to drink, can effectively improve." In addition, heating persimmon vinegar to smoke the legs can also help blood circulation, improve the symptoms of joint pain, wash the face, and beautify the skin. When I was a child, I also loved this persimmon vinegar the most. Later, my grandmother passed away, and I moved with my parents, and there was no one to take care of the persimmon trees at home, and no one made this persimmon vinegar for me anymore. ”

"If the girl likes it, you can bring some with you when you leave later." The little maid and Bai Liyuan were about the same age, and they couldn't help but be happy when they saw that she could tell so many varieties of persimmons and how to use them, and they were a little closer to her. "My wife has made it herself, and there is still a lot of it in the cellar, and I can secretly give some to the girl, but the girl must not say that she has left my house. Madame is very stingy. ”

"Thank you." Bai Li said thank you, but what he quietly wrote down in his heart was the word cellar that the maid had just said.

On Dr. Lu's body, in addition to the sludge stained when he fell into the ditch, there are some stains, not like those found in the ditch, and in addition to the smell of medicinal herbs, there is also some smell of persimmon vinegar.

At first, Bai Li thought that there was something wrong with his nose, where did the persimmon vinegar come from in this ditch. Now that I think about it, this persimmon vinegar was not dyed in the ditch, but here, or in the cellar that the little maid just said.

"Your wife is out, can your lord be at home?" Bai Ze circled around the persimmon trees twice, and only then did he ask after Bai Li finished chatting with the little girl.

The little maid replied: "My lord usually does not live at home, he is a doctor, and he lives in the town every day. Only when I am free, I will come back to stay for a day or two. My wife and I are used to it. ”

"Your lord's surname is Lu?"

"That's right, it's Lu." The little maid nodded: "I heard my wife say that there is a medical center in the town in my hometown, but I have never been to the town, so I have never seen my lord's medical hall, and I don't know what the medical hall is like." ”

"You've never been to Huaxi Town?" Bai Li asked tentatively, "What about your wife?" Have you been to Huaxi Town, have you been to your lord's medical hall? ”

"Probably not, my lord said that there was chaos in the town, and he would neither let my wife go, nor let me go. The daily necessities were also bought in advance by the master and sent back. Besides, my wife is afraid of life and doesn't like to go to those lively places, so it's good to stay here. ”

"Your wife is afraid of life and doesn't like to go out, so where did she go today?"

"Grandma's Temple." The little maid said, stretching out her hand and pointing: "Go out of my house, go straight along the path in front of the door, and after passing the village in front, you will see a natural deep ditch." The deep ditch is huge, the locals call it the sinkhole, there is a small nunnery in the sinkhole, the people nearby call it the grandmother temple, my wife often goes to incense. When I am in a bad mood, I will also live in the nunnery for a few days, eat fasting and recite sutras. ”

"Since you are a maid, why don't you go with your wife?"

"My wife is happy to be quiet, and she thinks I have a broken mouth, afraid that I will talk nonsense and disturb the purity of those gods and masters in the Buddhist hall." The little maid stuck out her tongue: "Besides, Mrs. said that I am too young to stand the purity in the Buddha hall, so it is better to stay at home and take care of the house." ”

"Also, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand those pure places of Buddhism. How nice the world is, it's lively. Bai Li said, and suddenly asked: "What about your master, can you come back in the past two days?" ”

"I guess I've been back." The little maid said uncertainly.

"If you come back, you come back, if you haven't come back, you haven't come back, what do you mean that you should come back?" Bai Li pointed to the courtyard gate and said, "Could it be that your master is sneaky every time he comes back, and there is no movement?" ”

"This is the master's own home, how can the master be sneaky when he goes back to his own home." The little maid glanced at Bai Li: "In the middle of the night last year, it was already very late, and I vaguely heard Mrs. talking to the master." I wanted to rise up and serve, but ...... There seems to be some kind of dispute between the lord and the lady, and I, a servant, am not good at such a time, so I have been listening with my ears pricked up. Later, when the argument ceased, I got up, went into the courtyard, and looked into my wife's room. Seeing that the lamp and candle had been extinguished, I thought that the old man and the lady had been reconciled, so I went back to my room to sleep. ”

"Do you still hear voices in the middle of the night?"

"Nope." The little maid shook her head: "I slept very deeply in the second half of the night, and I smelled a sweet smell in my dream, like the fragrance of osmanthus in autumn, and I almost dreamed of the kind of osmanthus candy that my grandmother made for me." By the time I opened my eyes, it was already dawn. Since I came here, it was the first time I got up late, I thought that Madame would reprimand me, but I didn't expect Madame to be very talkative, saying that if I was tired, it would be okay to sleep a little longer. She also said that she was going to Grandma's Temple and asked me to take care of the house. ”

"Where's your lord? Have you seen it? ”

"No, when I got up in the morning, I only saw Madame, and Madame didn't mention anything about my lord. After Madame left, I went to help her clean her room, and found that the room had been cleaned, and even the flowers in it had been replaced. ”

"Flowers?"

"Oh, there is an orchid in my wife's room, and it grows excellently. But when I got up early this morning, I found that the pot of orchids was gone, and another bonsai was placed in the place where the orchids were originally placed. That bonsai is what the old man likes. ”

"Maybe your lord quarreled with his wife, and his wife wanted to show favor to your lord, so he put his favorite bonsai in the most important position in the room." While observing the environment in the yard, Bai Li was talking to the maid without a word, and when he saw the fresh soil and a few broken orchid leaves that fell under the windowsill, he turned his head and asked: "The room over there is your lord and wife's bedroom, right?" ”
