Chapter 30: Books

Three hours passed.

During this period of time, Hua Ying has taken a total of nine kinds of vegetables, and in order to refine them as soon as possible without delaying time, she only takes a little at a time, so as to avoid taking too much and causing the results of the next tasting to be inaccurate.

So, after many attempts, she found out the varieties that could be refined the fastest after taking nine vegetables.

Donkey Amaranth.

This vegetable is actually a wild vegetable, which is planted and cultivated in the vegetable garden by rooting in the mountains for Huaying, and is not much planted in the vegetable garden today. Mainly because the taste is not very good, she and her senior sister are reluctant to eat it, so there are not many of them.

And now it seems that although this donkey tooth amaranth is unpalatable, it is the most effective of the nine vegetables.

Hua Ying briefly tested it, and compared it with other dishes after taking the same amount of donkey amenth, for a period of time, the speed of her cultivation of internal strength was about thirty percent higher, and compared to the red fruit, it was more than fifty percent higher.

In this way, if cultivating without taking any red fruits and wild vegetables is compared to 'one', then after taking donkey amenth, the cultivation speed can be close to 'two', which is fully doubled!

"This donkey's tooth amaranth is so strange, it is much higher than other vegetables, could it be that there is a mystery in it?"

Hua Ying held a bunch of stems and leaves of donkey tooth amaranth in her hand, looking at it from time to time.

However, no matter how she observed, she felt that this dish was ordinary, just like other vegetables, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.

Could it be because donkey amaranth is a wild vegetable?

Or is there some other reason?

"There's got to be a mystery here!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Hua Ying was secretly determined.

She plans to wait for a trip to the village tomorrow to see if any books and scrolls about plants are available at home, and if she can find out the connection, she may be able to find a new direction.

Day 2.

After breakfast, after saying hello to her master and sister, Hua Ying ran down the mountain road with a smoke, passed through the pile of bones at the foot of the mountain, and walked straight towards Lijia Village.

"Two fat and two fat, do you have a book at home? Is there a book or not? ”

As soon as she entered the village, Hua Ying's eyes lit up, and she immediately caught a familiar friend, grabbed the other party and hurriedly asked.

The second fat child is not fat, but very thin. The reason why he is called Er Fat is because his brother's nickname is Big Fat, so he is called Er Fat.

"What... What kind of book? ”

The second fat saw that someone was grabbing his clothes, and he was stunned.

Suddenly, he reacted to something, and his face suddenly turned red, "No... No, I don't have books, I don't have books. ”

After speaking, he turned around and ran, leaving Hua Ying standing alone and inexplicably.

"What, really, if you don't have it, why don't you run away."

After a while, she wandered through the streets of the village, and came across a little girl of the same age, with two pigtails, walking and jumping.

"Xiaocui, where are you going?"

Hearing someone call her name, the girl turned her head and smiled shyly, "Sister Erya, I'm going to play at my uncle's house, why do you have time to go down the mountain today?" ”

"Oh, I'll go down down and find something. By the way, do you have any books at home? ”

Hua Ying is still called Er Ya in the village, she likes this nickname very much, and she always feels like she is still in her own village, which is very kind.

"Books? Sister Erya, what kind of book are you looking for? Xiao Cui walked over, with a puzzled expression.

"That's the kind of ......"

Hua Ying gestured with her hands, and she didn't describe the book she wanted for a long time, "Anyway, it's the kind of book with a lot of knowledge, Daquan and the like." ”

"Then my father should have it, he was a gentleman's scholar in the private school in the town when he was a child." Xiaocui immediately understood, and said happily, "Sister Erya, I'll take you to find my father, he must know what the book you are looking for." ”

"Then thank you, Xiaocui, I'll bring you some fruits from the mountain to eat another day."

Hua Ying grinned, took the other party's little hand and rushed to Xiaocui's house.

She is too familiar with the Cui family, and she used to go to each other's house to play after school, and of course she also knew that Xiao Cui's father was quite knowledgeable.

Not long after, the two of them got acquainted with the road and came to a small farm yard.

A middle-aged man dressed in simple clothes just walked out of it, his face was in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry to run an errand.

"Daddy." Xiao Cui shouted softly.

When the middle-aged man saw his daughter, his face softened, and he said kindly: "Cui'er, why did you come back suddenly, didn't you go to your uncle's house to play?" ”

"Daddy, my friend wants to ask you ......"

Xiao Cui took Hua Ying's hand beside her and told her what had happened.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and said, "That's it, I'll rush to the town now, and you can go to the study to find it yourself, remember not to mess up." ”

"Thank you, Uncle!" Hua Ying was overjoyed and bowed in thanks.

Soon, after the middle-aged man left, the two walked into the courtyard together.

Under the leadership of Xiaocui, Hua Ying came to her study.

It is said to be a study, but in fact it is just a small room for storing old books, with only a bookcase and a few slightly old wooden boxes, which are covered with dust.

It can be seen that the owner of the study has rarely taken care of this place, and he rarely comes in even if he enters. The door locks just now were all broken, and it took them a long time to open them.

"Sister Erya, this is it, my father's previous collection of books is placed here." Xiao Cui pointed to the bookcase in the room and asked softly, "Do you want me to look for it with you?" If two people are looking for it together, it should be faster. ”

"Good! Excuse me, Cui! Hua Ying nodded immediately.

The collection of books here is not small, if one person rummages through it, I am afraid that it will not be able to find it in the dark, and two people together should be able to speed up a lot.

So, the two stepped up their actions.

Xiao Cui was in charge of the cabinet, and Hua Ying opened the wooden boxes.

Looking for standards, all the books with 'Daquan', 'Collection' and 'Records' are all found, and some of the ones that are related to flowers, vegetables and fruits are not let go.

Both of them are literate, otherwise it would be really hard to find books with so many words.

It took Hua Ying more than half an hour to rummage through the old boxes, but she found a few books that interested her a lot.

"Yu Yi Benji", "Huaiguo Territory Map", "Lu Jiulang's Travels"

Hua Ying is quite concerned about these three books, one is a book that explains medical skills, although her master is a famous miracle doctor in the rivers and lakes, but so far she has not asked her master about this issue, and now she wants to know more about this knowledge.

The second is the territory map of Huaiguo, Hua Ying only knows that her home is in Yangshan Village, Qingyang Town, Qingyang Town belongs to Dongqing County, and Dongqing County belongs to Yongzhou.

She had never had a national concept before, and Yongzhou was the biggest place she had ever heard of. On this territory map, she found that Yongzhou was only one of the several states in Huaiguo, and Dongqing County was even smaller, only shrunk in a remote corner of Yongzhou, and it was easy to miss it if it was not easy to check.

This discovery surprised him, and he also had a vague idea of the haunt country he was in now.

The third travelogue was just curious, and at first glance, it recorded many unheard of stories, and Hua Ying was quite interested, so she picked it out of the wooden box.

At this moment, just when she thought that she would not find anything but these three books today, Xiao Cui's shout came from the other side.

"Sister Erya, let's see if this book is what you are looking for!"
