Chapter XXVII

"What is this?" Old Man Shao took a big step forward, directly snatched the cassava from Aji's hand, and said sternly: "Aji, you can't eat these foreign things at will, didn't I teach you?" ”

"How much did you eat? Are you feeling unwell? As if inspecting a treasure, Old Man Shao pulled Aji up and looked at it over and over again.

As soon as Aji frowned, he immediately let go of his hand, thinking that he shouldn't say anything.

"Grandpa Shao, you don't have to worry about me so much."

Aji raised his eyebrows, looked at Old Man Shao with cold eyes, and said leisurely: "Everyone calls me stupid Aji, is it that in your eyes, I am also a fool?" ”

"No, the old slave doesn't dare!" Old man Shao lowered his head, he could never have such thoughts.

"You're not an old slave, you're Aji's grandfather, don't forget it."

Aggie lifted his sleeve and carefully cut off the blackened wick, the light became brighter, and a night breeze blew in through the window, and the candle shadow swayed.

Aji's face was inexplicable, he seemed to think of something, pointed to the cassava on the plate and said: "You said before, how good it would be if cassava could be eaten, look, this is cassava, it can really be eaten." ”

Old man Shao instantly became flustered again, can eat the dead man's cassava, Aji eats it?

Aji knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, and calmly admitted: "I ate it, it's okay." ”

Old man Shao wandered: "Is it really okay?" ”

"Nature."

"This is sent by the Gu family's girl?"

"Yes."

Old man Shao no longer spoke, but picked up a piece of cassava, and without waiting to peel it, he took a big bite directly.

He frowned, not like he was tasting food, but like he was testing for drugs.

Ajifu sat down again, picked up the bamboo slip and watched it slowly.

After about a cup of tea, he was already immersed in the sea of books, and suddenly heard Old Man Shao say: "This thing can really be eaten." ”

Not only can he eat, but he also has a good taste and a strong sense of satiety, and he does not feel poisoned.

When he said this, not only was his face not happy, but there was a bit of remorse and bitterness.

As if his throat was covered in something, he struggled to ask, "How did she do it?" ”

Without waiting for Aggie to answer, he seemed to think of something, and muttered to himself, "Soak ......"

Yes, he thought that Gu Lan soaked the cassava in the stream, and later he went to see that there were poisonous fish near the stream, and Gu Lan would pick up the fish and eat it.

At that time, he thought that Gu Lan was a little clever, and she was able to think of a way to use cassava poison to catch fish, but he didn't expect that Gu Lan was really "detoxifying" cassava.

It turns out that it is so simple to make cassava not poisonous.

Does it only need to be soaked?

If only I had known sooner......

How nice it should be.

I don't know when, it rained lightly outside, and the rain became heavier and heavier, beating in the bamboo forest, like a jade pendant.

Old man Shao left the house in despair and returned to his bedroom.

Iron Horse Glacier fell asleep.

He seems to have returned to his youth, and rushed to the capital with 100,000 soldiers to rescue him, but he was surrounded by the enemy and trapped on a barren mountain, which burned bald in order to kill them.

Thirteen of their brethren, none of whom were willing to surrender, stood on the hill, and came to kill one by one, and one of them to kill them all.

But the iron-beaten men also had to eat, and when the dry food was finished, they could only gnaw on the cowhide on their bodies, and they were still hungry, and their eyes were so hungry that their eyes glowed green.

They searched the entire mountain, only to find cassava that had not been burned clean.

It was winter, and there were other plants on the mountain.

They all knew that cassava was poisonous, but hunger made them dizzy.

Eating is death, and not eating is death.

What a strong man, he was so hungry that he couldn't help it, and he fell on the mountain one by one, and his eyes were still looking straight at the capital before he died.

He survived by relying on his brothers, and fled back to the capital, finally not letting hope be lost.

On a rainy night, the drizzle knocked on the bamboo house, tinkling, and inside the house, the seventy-year-old man covered his face and cried silently.

This cassava, it seems to have come too late.

Gu Lan was woken up by the rain, the house was leaking, the rain feet were like numbness, and it was not until dawn that it gradually cut off, and the children shrunk into chickens and hugged each other, squeezed into the only corner that did not leak rain.

Gu Lan trembled like a broken sieve, and swore in her heart that when it was dawn, she would definitely solve the problem of water leakage in this broken house!

It's also to blame that the weather is so good these days, there are so many things, she forgot such an important thing!

As soon as the rain stopped, Gu Lan ran out to boil the water, but the firewood was wet, and she glanced at her younger brothers and sisters, and the little achievements she had achieved yesterday seemed to have been extinguished by this ruthless rain.

Gu Lan wiped the rain off her face, her hands and feet were cold, but her heart was even colder.

What should I do now?

Subconsciously opened the system, only to find that in the first half of yesterday night, I inexplicably got another fifty points.

[Promoted the method of eating cassava to five people, and gained 50 points]

Gu Lan immediately thought of Aji and Old Man Shao.

It turns out that if you promote the plant eating method obtained by driving the mountain to others, can you also get points?

Just thinking about Aji, Gu Lan saw Old Man Shao walking towards him on the path.

He wore a hat on his head, a robe, and a basket behind his back.

It didn't look like he was going up the mountain, and sure enough, he went straight to Gu Lan's second elder.

He glanced up and down at the embarrassed Gu Lan, instantly understood the embarrassment of this family, and laughed.

"Lan girl, how much cassava you gave Aji yesterday? I want to change some back. ”

"Yes, of course, there are, and there are more!" Gu Lan smiled reluctantly, "Grandpa Shao, do you think it's delicious when you eat it?" ”

"The old man has a bad tooth and mouth, and he can't eat meat, it's just right to eat this, and it just so happens that he can use these endless meats at home to exchange some cassava with you?"

How hateful it is to hear this, and the meat that cannot be eaten is exchanged for cassava.

Gu Lan was envious.

But she doesn't want so much meat now, she wants a house that doesn't leak.

There are many cassava on the mountain, Old Man Shao wants to dig it, more and faster than her, he is so smart, and he has seen Gu Lan soak cassava in water, but I am afraid that he will already understand how to poison cassava.

Now that people have not bypassed Gu Lan and directly harvested cassava, it is already a big face.

Gu Lan didn't want to miss this good opportunity.

"Grandpa Shao, I don't want this meat, can you teach me how to build or repair a house?"

The large bamboo forest near Old Man Shao is unique to the village, and other people want bamboo, and they have to do it in the mountains, how can she have those skills!

Gu Lan thought about it, it was too troublesome to build a mud brick house, so it was better to learn from Old Man Shao's house, and first use ready-made bamboo to build a place to live out!

Gu Lan looked at Old Man Shao expectantly.

Old man Shao didn't disappoint her, and smiled kindly with his beard: "You girl! ”

In this way, it seems that I agreed!
