Chapter 170: Woe to Ginseng
An aunt was collecting clothes in the yard, and after a few of us saw it, we walked outside the courtyard wall of his house and asked.
When the great god saw a few strangers, he first looked nervous, and then said timidly.
"Who are you? What are you looking for the village chief?"
Seeing that the aunt was a little nervous, Lao Wu smiled and said.
"Old sister, we are idlers who travel around, we don't pass through this village, seeing that it is dark and there is no place to live, I want to find the village chief to ask for a convenience at his house."
When the aunt saw Lao Wu, this person's face was very kind, and she listened to him. We were idlers who traveled around, as if we understood our identity, and hurriedly came over and spoke.
"Ouch, I see, let me tell you that the village chief's family, you walked along this road all the way to the front, did you see the big locust tree? Turn left again, and the third house is the village chief's house. ”
After hearing the great god's guidance, the three of us thanked us again and again and walked to the village chief's house. On the way to the village chief's house, I looked around this village, this village, the silence was a little strange, although there was cooking smoke everywhere, but I didn't feel very popular.
"Master, isn't it a little abnormal that this village is quiet!"
After Chang Xiao heard me say this, he nodded and said.
"At the aunt's house just now, I found that there was a dog shed in their courtyard, but there were no dogs, so it can be seen that all the dogs in the village are probably gone."
After Lao Wu heard Chang Xiao say this, he raised his hand and pointed to a mountain not far in front of him and said.
"You two look at the difference between the mountain in front of you!"
In the direction of the old house, fortunately it was not completely dark, and it was okay, and I could probably see the mountain.
"The fog on this mountain is very unusual!"
I was the first to speak, and Chang Xiao nodded in agreement after hearing me say this.
"It seems that the problem is on that mountain, is this the village chief's house?"
The three of us walked while talking, and when we arrived at the courtyard that my aunt mentioned just now, the courtyard road in front of us was relatively clean and the house was probably the best in this village.
"Sure enough, no matter what village you are in, the village chief's house is the best."
Seeing the house in front of me, I couldn't help but speak, and Lao Wu and Chang Xiao nodded in agreement after hearing what I said.
"Is the village chief at home?"
After Lao Wu opened his mouth and shouted twice, he heard someone in the house answer twice.
"Who is coming? It's getting dark, what are you doing here?"
After that, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a piece of clothing and walked out of the house, walked to the door and saw three strangers, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"Who are you?"
"A few of us are idlers who have traveled around 4 places, but it is dark in your village, and there is no place to stay, I don't know if it is inconvenient for the village chief to take us in."
Lao Wu stepped forward to deal with the village chief, and the village chief looked the three of us up and down, and saw that the three of us didn't look like bad people, so he let the three of us go to the yard.
"You're wandering idlers?"
The village chief asked suspiciously, and the three of us nodded together, and the village chief continued.
"We don't have any guest houses or anything like that in this village, since we are here, then stay here with me today, the conditions are relatively simple, you don't dislike it."
After hearing the village chief say this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, or the majority of peasant friends are the most simple, if in the city, it is estimated that people will be scolded for being insane.
We followed the village chief into their house, which was very simple but also very clean and tidy, and a middle-aged woman was busy on the stove, and it was obvious that they were also cooking.
"Yo, there's a friend coming!"
The middle-aged woman stood up and spoke, after the village chief heard the woman say this. Speak.
"These are masters, the meal is almost ready."
Hearing the village chief call the three of us masters, the three of us looked at each other without saying anything, and then the middle-aged woman spoke.
"It's already burned, go into the house and clean up and eat."
After a while, a simple peasant meal was already on the table, and the village chief greeted the three of us very warmly, and at this time, Lao Wu asked again.
"Village Chief, how do you say that several of us are masters?"
The village chief said after hearing Lao Wu's question.
"You can guess by looking at the costumes of the three of you, plus it is estimated that the matter in our village has been rumored recently, and the only one who dares to enter our village at this time and when it is dark is the master."
Hearing the village chief's explanation, Lao Wu smiled and spoke.
"The village chief is really serious, the master can't talk about it, the three of us have indeed heard that there have been some strange things in your village recently, and we want to come and take a look, if we can help, we will definitely help."
After hearing what Lao Wu said, the village chief was very excited and said.
"It's really good, you know, because of this incident, everyone in our village is panicking. Even the people in the neighboring villages don't dare to deal with us anymore. ”
"It's inconvenient for the village chief to talk to us in detail."
Lao Wu spoke again, and the village chief sighed after hearing Lao Wu's question.
"Alas, there is a precursor to this matter, but we were fascinated for a while, and we didn't take it seriously, and now that it has become like this, there is no regret in it."
After that, the village chief told us what the whole thing was.
It turned out that a few months ago, Lao Li in the village went up the mountain to pick some wild goods, and when he walked to the back mountain, he saw a ginseng, which is rare in a century.
After seeing this ginseng, Lao Li ran forward, wanting to dig up this ginseng, and then he could sell it for some money, and when he came to the ginseng, he found that there were many small ginseng plants growing next to this ginseng.
This time, Lao Li Ke was so happy that it was rare to get so many small ginseng plants for a ginseng tree, and if all of them were grown, it would be a big windfall.
Just when he was in prison and wanted to dig up the ginseng, he suddenly found that there seemed to be something attached to the ginseng.
As Lao Li dug deeper and deeper, he found that the size of this ginseng tree was really not small. Next to the body of this adult's ginseng, there seems to be a thin red line.
"Does this ginseng already have a master? Tied with a red thread to mark?"
