Volume 1 Mountains and Rivers Chapter 90 Herbs that grow on a coffin
"It's really strange, I've never smelled it before, my mother hasn't cooked at this time, and besides, few people in the village know how to cook mushrooms." Canghai was full of doubts, this smell was too strange, but this fragrance was indeed very tempting.
Knowing how to make it possible, he quickly ruled out many possibilities, and his footsteps followed, slowly searching for the source of the scent, and soon his face showed a look of shock, and the smell was actually wafting from his own home.
"This room has never been opened, so why is there a fragrance?" Canghai came to the locked room, pierced the yellowed window paper with one finger, and pressed his eyes on it.
The room was empty, dusty, and cobwebbed, apparently deserted for years, when a coffin on a bamboo bench caught his eye, and something strange grew on top of the black coffin.
"It's like a ganoderma mushroom and a mushroom, and the color is like hoarfrost, but it tastes so good." At this point, it is certain that the alluring smell emanates from these strange-looking things.
For a moment, Canghai was in trouble, and hesitated whether to open the room, although those strange-looking things were very attractive, but the coffin made him a little afraid, for fear that a monster would jump out.
"There's probably nothing in there, I've lived here for so long and nothing has happened."
Canghai remembered that when he moved with Jiu'er, there was no one living in this courtyard, so he settled here, and surprisingly, no one objected to the villagers.
"Let's go in and have a look."
In the end, curiosity prevailed over reason, and the rusty lock was broken by the slight force of Canghai, and he gently pushed the door open, carefully observing the surroundings, and made sure that there was nothing wrong before hurrying to the coffin.
Canghai tentatively touched those strange things, at first he did not dare to hastily pluck them from the coffin, but after a while, a strange thing appeared in his hand.
"It's cold."
Canghai shivered all over his body, and a biting chill swept through his body, but the rich fragrance made him forget everything else, and only remembered one thing in his mind, and that was to eat.
"Sure enough, it's herbs."
Canghai was overjoyed, his palms were hot, and suddenly a red light shrouded, when the essence of medicinal power swept through the whole body along the palm of his hand, the only difference was that this time the essence of medicinal power had a cold breath.
There is this herb growing on the whole coffin, Canghai counted it carefully, there are more than forty plants, it is definitely a lot of wealth for him, thinking that the effect of this medicine is a little different from the last time, Canghai does not dare to continue to eat it blindly, for fear that it will really cause any hidden dangers, so it will be too worthless.
"Let's ask Daddy Yi what he's talking about." Canghai said to himself and exited the room, closing the door again.
Canghai came to the front of the main house, and saw that Jiu'er was still chatting with the villagers, so he was slightly relieved, and then he walked to another room, and the smell wafting from it was the same as before.
"It's the same herb again, but the color here is fiery red." Canghai skillfully broke the old lock on the door, came to the coffin, and carefully plucked a plant.
"That's how it feels." Canghai absorbed the herbs in his hand, his whole body was extremely hot, and when he found that the medicinal power was still above the previous herbs, he excitedly began to count the number of herbs.
"There are a little more of them here, there are more than fifty plants, what kind of herb is this?" Canghai really wanted to know that the two coffins would actually grow herbs, and who would believe it.
Canghai withdrew from the house in confusion, he was a little restless, and had to walk back and forth in the village several times to make sure that the smell was not noticed by others, and then returned to the courtyard, at this moment he only hoped that Teng Yi would come back soon.
The sunset was all over the sky, Canghai sat alone at the gate of the courtyard, secretly thinking that Teng Yi should come back at this time, and a light blanket had been draped over his body when he was pondering.
"Mother, why did you come out?" Canghai woke up and found that it was Jiu'er, so he hurriedly got up, holding the blanket with both hands to prevent it from slipping off his body.
"It's cold outside, your father is coming back soon, don't worry, let's go back to the house with my mother first." Jiu'er looked at him lovingly and said gently.
"Hmm." Canghai nodded lightly, only felt a warmth in his heart, and followed Jiu'er back to the house, temporarily putting down the matter of the coffin.
The hot meal was already on the table, and Teng Yi didn't appear when he waited left and right, Jiu'er was a little worried, got up and walked to the courtyard, and Canghai followed behind him.
"Mother, are you going to find Daddy Yi?" Canghai knew it, but he couldn't help but ask.
Jiu'er showed a smile: "Don't worry about Canghai, I'll go to the village road to see and come back, you have to stay at home obediently and don't run around, you know?" ”
"Mother, let me go with you." After what happened last time, how could Canghai agree, pulling Jiu'er's shirt and pleading.
Jiu'er wanted to refuse, but seeing that her son was so sensible, her heart softened and she couldn't help nodding and said, "Then let's go to your father Yi together." ”
"I don't have to go, I was delayed a little on the way back." At this moment, a familiar voice came, and after a while, Teng Yi had appeared at the door, carrying a bundle of firewood in one hand and the captured prey in the other.
Only then did Jiu'er put her mind at ease and said softly: "Brother Yi, remember to come back early in the future, Canghai was worried for a night." ”
"Daddy Yi, in fact, my mother is more worried about you." Canghai added in a whisper, Teng Yi finally came back, which made him extremely happy.
"I'm worried about you, I'll be home early next time." Teng Yi admitted his mistake with a smile, holding Jiu'er with one hand and Canghai with the other, and walked towards the house unhurriedly.
After dinner, Jiu'er returned to the room after cleaning up, sitting alone on the edge of the bed and busy with needlework, she wanted to prepare more changes of clothes for the other party before Canghai left.
Canghai quietly pulled Teng Yi into the courtyard, and said with a little solemnity: "Daddy Yi, I found some strange herbs, you can show you what they are." ”
"Canghai, you said you found herbs?" Teng Yi was a little surprised.
Canghai nodded very seriously: "Daddy Yi, there are two coffins in the two closed rooms of our house, and there are also herbs growing in them. ”
"It's just an empty coffin, what are you talking about? Herbs? Teng Yi looked shocked, he came to the front of the house in one step, and directly pushed the door in.
"Daddy Yi, wait for me." Canghai hurriedly caught up.
Teng Yi looked cautious, there was anything in the room except for the cold coffin, and he secretly thought that his son would not be deceiving himself.
"Daddy Yi, these herbs look like Ganoderma lucidum, and they look like mushrooms, and I have eaten them, and they taste good, but they are a little cold, and the herbs in the room next to them are very hot, and they look similar." Canghai came out of Tengyi's back, walked to the coffin alone, and pointed to those herbs and explained.
"Canghai, are you sure you saw the herbs? Why do I only see two coffins? Teng Yi's expression gradually became solemn.
Hearing this, Canghai's eyes bulged slightly, he didn't expect Teng Yi to say such a thing, and secretly wondered if he was crazy about herbs, and he hallucinated.
