Chapter 148: Camellia Can't Read White Roses (Two Chapters in One)

That night, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room of the God of Wealth reached a new high.

This is the effect of turning horse dung and cow dung to tann wild boar skin, and the effect of not being able to look directly at Uncle Xu's hands.

Mrs. Xu was tired today, she finished picking up the mushrooms, and picked up the wild boar hair that she was reluctant to discard.

The outer layer of boar hair is long, and it can be used to make brushes when washed.

Her granddaughter said that brushes made of this kind of bristles are the best to use to brush the barrel, and I heard that it was exported in large quantities in the sixties and seventies, and it is also very good to make medical brushes and large brushes.

They don't have artillery, and they don't know if there is one in this dynasty, so if they can't sell it, they can keep it to make more brushes, brushes, shoes, kang mats, and pots. When the paper is made next year, I will make some brushes for the young people in the village to write.

As for the shorter layer of fluff inside, Mrs. Xu carefully washed it four times with soap before putting it next to the stove to dry, and these wool essences should be kept as toothbrushes after careful selection, and you can also stuff hats, gloves, and cotton masks worn in winter to keep warm, so that you can use less cotton.

Mrs. Xu was busy with these two things, and then in the evening, she made a real big pot of rice and stir-fried two large pots of mushroom sauce.

Although it is a matter of three groups of people, she is the main force. Even the young woman didn't say that she didn't put any more spices in the same ingredients, but the food she cooked was more fragrant than others.

Mrs. Xu thought about it, regardless of whether this was a fool or not, when she was out of the house, she should take care of each other if she was destined to get along for a few days.

If she makes it really delicious, then she will make it all, it's just a little effort, and she is happy to cook for Huo Jiajun.

But when I gave the mushroom sauce, there was a little episode, and the soldiers who stayed behind would not want to live or die, Mrs. Xu was afraid that people would misunderstand the drug, so she deliberately ate two bites on the spot, patted her stomach, and said that there was nothing wrong, she didn't even have diarrhea, she fried it very cleanly.

People say that we don't mean that, Auntie, we can't ask for your things. I made a mistake in the sugar water that day, thinking that you were helping to send white water, and when I drank it, I realized that I put the sugar, and it was already boiled in my mouth and it would be wasted if I didn't drink it, so I would be wrong.

Mrs. Xu and the representatives of the other two families were anxious when they heard this:

Who said that you can't ask for things from the people? Why is this so inhuman?

Besides, if there is such a rule, and the person who gave the order is not there, what is there not to eat? You also help us feed the mules and cows, and the forage is not money for these two days? What's wrong with eating some mushrooms, these are all freshly picked and not bought. But if you don't eat it, we can't feel sorry.

Besides, your generals in charge can't see it, eat quickly, and the grinding effort will have been eaten long ago.

After repeating the words and persuasion, I didn't expect that the soldiers guarding the horse shed were still dead-eyed.

Then it happened that her granddaughter was passing by, and Mrs. Xu felt that Tian Xin'er obviously didn't say anything, and in her mouth, her granddaughter seemed to say something to eat in a trance, I'll scoop it for you.

After finishing it, I really ate it after two clicks, Mrs. Xu wondered at the time, you said this is strange.

This is to treat them as outsiders, and not to see her granddaughter like that?

In short, Mrs. Xu was very tired today, listening to the sound of the rain and sitting next to the stone and not wanting to sleep, she dozed off, and only had time to tell Xu Tianxin in a daze, so that she would wake up in the middle of the night, she was going to turn over the mushrooms drying in the two tents, and then she slowly fell down and couldn't hear the movement.

In the middle of the night, Xu Tianxin was reluctant to wake up his grandmother.

At this time, there was no movement outside the cave except for the sound of rain and the sound of the mountains and forests being blown by the wind.

Xu Tianxin wore a piece of oilcloth, held a lamp lit with fish oil in a small bowl, and protected this light to illuminate the rocky road under his feet, and came to the tent where the mushrooms were dried.

As she turned over the mushrooms in the two tents and dragged the pieces of boar skins hanging in the shed to dry, the box of dragon relics pills that she had placed at her feet rang out.

The amount of money to tip tonight is as high as two taels.

There are more than 1,000 people in these two taels who have given a dollar.

After Xu Tianxin used a rope to string these copper plates and put them together, she was so happy that she was completely sleepy.

"Family, our anchor Grandma Muskmelon has fallen asleep, and she hasn't had time to get off the air, leaving me as a little assistant. I don't know how to thank you, and I don't have a grandmother to say anything. ”

Many family members don't sleep, what does she talk about?

She can't let the atmosphere of the live broadcast become dry and boring: "That's it, at this time, I happen to stay in the mountains all night, and I'll tell you a ghost story." ”

Xu Tianxin works hard and does what he says.

When she had finished her work, she left the tent and stood on a small fork in the road some distance from the entrance of the cave in a tarpaulin.

This location is good, looking up at the dark mountains, I don't know if there are leaves or undercurrent reflections, and it may be caused by the fire in Xu Tianxin's hand, and I always feel that there is a piece of white hanging on the tree like a ghost floating around.

Looking down at the barren earth and half-human-tall weeds, I always felt that there were many evil wolves with green eyes hidden in them.

It's just full of atmosphere.

Xu Tianxin began to tell a ghost story about a barren mountain, and said that there was a thousand-year-old corpse under the cave, and the woman was temporarily held her breath during childbirth, and woke up after being buried, and there was a placenta next to her. She replaced the morgue stories she had heard from the background to barren mountains.

What Xu Tianxin didn't know was that behind the cliff where she was standing, a soldier was left behind.

This person has been listening, thinking: What kind of people are this, who don't sleep or hide from the rain in the middle of the night, and run outside to make up a book. Not to mention, it's quite ridiculous.

It wasn't until Xu Tianxin told all the family members in the live broadcast room that she was going to go back to sleep, and the little soldier couldn't help but be curious and came out to take a look.

He's very unhappy, so how can he tell the story without giving the ending, or don't tell it, really.

When he saw Xu Tianxin's back wearing an oilcloth and leaving alone, the soldier's face was suddenly stunned, and the whole person was a little bad.

Isn't it a group, it's a person?

But that girl has been talking to just now? He should have heard it right, it was a conversation.

She seems to be the little friend of the wild boar skin given by Commander Jia.

Nightmare? It's not, he speaks very methodically, in simple terms, step by step, and occasionally with exclamations, startled.

Is it a ghost?

When it was time to change the guard, I never expected to step on the bald slur, and tumble down the mountain a few meters away, which happened to roll into a hole.

What's in the cave? The eighteen-year-old little soldier remembered Xu Tianxin's story just now, there was a female corpse, and he deliberately turned around.

When his companions saw him, they suddenly began to chatter, and when they fell into the wild cave, they thought it was a strange thing, and laughed at him.

And Xu Tianxin, who fell asleep when he went back, didn't know about this episode at all.

so much so that it affected her later reputation. It's not called word of mouth, it's just the girl who was called a ghost in the middle of the night.

Many years later, it was rumored that he talked about ghosts in the middle of the night and went out to inquire, is this something that a normal girl's family can do? Then take a knife to "cut" a man, what else is there to be surprised. When I met people, I said not to believe her gentle image, it was all superficial, in fact, she was nicknamed the female version of the ghost.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, but I really didn't expect it to have a profound impact.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xu Tianxin deliberately got up at dawn to cook noodles for everyone, boiled a pot of hot water and poured water bladders, packed most of the dried mushrooms, and dried the last wave of wet mushrooms yesterday.

This last wave is her family's share, which also has the umbrella mushrooms that her grandmother prepared for the table full of grandmothers.

Xu Tianxin knew that grandma didn't say it, but in fact, since the wind blew and heard about the mudslide, she was very worried about the grandmother on the table, and she didn't know how well she was selling sets outside, and whether people were safe.

She misses it too.

Grandma also said yesterday that there is a lot of wild boar hair, and she will make a set of hats and gloves for the grandmother on the table when she goes back. After all, the quilts at home are not thick enough to cover the table, so she is reluctant to go out to prepare these, so she prepares.

Since coming to ancient times, this old sister who has no blood relationship came to the door with a gourd on her back and an elm tree when she was poor, and let her go to the back garden to hoe when she went into the house to rest for a while, and she didn't care what to do, as long as the table was full, she responded honestly. Including this trip, just say, you go out with me? The man threw the whole family down and said yes. Such an old sister is not easy to meet even in modern times.

At this time, Xu Tianxin asked everyone to get up and eat noodles.

Mrs. Xu was cleaning up the bed and grinding: "Why don't you call me?" ”

After driving her grandmother out of the cave, Xu Tianxin looked at the family of four living opposite.

She asked, the youngest daughter in that family was only four and a half years old, named Niuniu, with big eyes and very cute eyes, but her face was blown by the wind and was a little red, and she was combed with two pinchs.

Niuniu was being carried by her mother, holding a piece of home-made rice cake in her hand, and she was also eating breakfast.

Xu Tianxin leaned over, took advantage of the fact that the parents were not paying attention, tapped Niuniu's back with his fingers, and looked at the rice crackers again.

Niuniu turned her head to look at Xu Tianxin, she only had a delicious rice cracker, and the rest of the rations were not delicious.

However, my sister should be hungry.

Niuniu broke half a piece of rice cake with her two little hands and handed it to Xu Tianxin: "Here, sister eats the horn." ”

Xu Tianxin was happy, and he was quite generous, so he opened the lid of the instant noodles that had been hidden behind him.

Niuniu's eyes immediately lit up: "Wow! ”

"Let's change." Children eat dry cakes for two days, and adults can't stand it, not to mention the children's stomach, Xu Tianxin deliberately cooked this bowl softly.

When the young woman heard the movement, she hurriedly turned back and stopped: "How can this be done?" ”

"Nothing, give her food." Xu Tianxin pulled Niuniu's pigtails again before leaving.

Niuniu's father looked at Xu Tianxin's back and said, "No wonder only this girl has a strong relationship with Huo Jiajun." ”

The woman said in her heart: This girl just got closer and found that her facial features were not bad, and she must have changed her appearance after a few years when her body and face grew up. In the past two days, she has observed that the things used to clean her teeth and face have also been clean, and she is diligent in every way, I don't know what kind of appearance my father and mother will look like. I heard that I came with my grandmother and my uncles in the village.

It's not good at all, maybe it's her grandmother. Why are you dressed in gray and shabby at a young age, and you don't like to dress up. Even if the family situation is not good, the poor girl who loves to dress up will not be like this, for example, she will tie a headband, and she will pay attention to beauty and ugliness when patching clothes. Look at this again, it seems that what color is made and what is worn.

The woman wondered and said to the man: "By the way, her grandmother deliberately left the address of our shop, and she should have the intention to buy some guys next year. ”

"Then you still have to say? Looking at the juniors, you can see whether the family is worth paying or not, not to mention the noodle soup, just on the day we arrived, thanks to the group who borrowed the quilt, and last night helped the eldest son pick a hot stone. ”

The man suddenly remembered something, stood up and said, "You mothers are eating, I'll go and help pick up horse manure." ”

Yesterday, I picked up mushrooms and was busy chattering about others, and the horse manure was not airlifted down the mountain.

And after Xu Tianxin left the cave, he also wanted to help the third uncle to transport horse manure.

At the same time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were very congested, unlike the harmony of the people.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and their subordinates brought by each other, if it weren't for the official rank, they would have scolded their mothers.

According to rumors, the third child of the Huo family is the most stingy, and it is true, just throw them on the mountain to manage the grain of Laoshizi, and take away more than 90% of the pro-soldiers, so far no news has come, and the posture is that even this pro-soldier has to be left to them.

And what is eaten, what is drunk, there is no pot, it seems to be intentional from the beginning.

An official suppressed his temper and asked:

General Huo didn't know that he was the general of the town guarding the side, and the safety of the mutual market and their officials was the most important, so it was a big deal to rush to the six tribes to summon and set the number of horses in the mutual market as soon as possible.

He is not a sesame official county, he shouldn't be in charge of these idle things, and this is overstepping his authority, participating in local political affairs, and opening the granary of the imperial court to give alms.

The generals who stayed behind to lead the troops of the guard staff team were called over to listen to these complaints, and they couldn't talk back according to the size of their rank, so they could only say with a blank face: "Lord Xu, I am afraid that the court will be delayed for a few months, and there are exceptions to everything. I think the general did not overstep his authority, but just led the troops to supervise himself, in order to prevent the people from grabbing the grain, and to protect the county government from being impacted in the town. ”

The general endured it, but he couldn't help but say, "These few days can be called a natural disaster, related to the people losing their homes and having nowhere to live. So why is it a big deal in the eyes of adults? Please be patient, my lord, if the general leaves a message, if the road is passed, he will send the first cavalry team back to give orders. ”

After saying that, he took a few steps back and retreated with his fists clenched.

"You?" What kind of attitude is this!

Vulgar generals, I don't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the cave is tense, but somewhere on the hillside outside the cave is extremely lively, and the scenery is unique.

Even the soldiers stationed in the Huo family army couldn't help but look sideways frequently.

Because on a small road, there is not only a team of mules and oxen pulled up by the people spontaneously to carry horse manure to the foot of the mountain.

And there is also a green path opened up by Xu Tianxin.

Just see her sitting on the tarpaulin, I don't know what bark grease is smeared under the tarpaulin, and after rubbing against the weeds on the mountain road, she can sit on it and slide down the hill directly.

And she still had baskets of horse manure lined up in her arms.

The best part is that after the basket slides to the bottom of the mountain, I don't know how she dug the ditch, the basket will automatically fall down, and the horse manure will be poured out.

Xu Tianxin: This is grass skiing, family.

Stimulate.

Mrs. Xu's face is honored, her granddaughter works less to save energy, and the wisdom is infinite. As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.

And just after all the horse manure was transported, the Huo Jiajun cavalry came to report that they could leave here, and the broken bridge had been repaired.

Xu Tianxin still had a smile on his face, he didn't care about cleaning up with horse manure scum, so he hurriedly went back to the cave to pack his things, they were going home!
