109: Wild lotus root found

Following.

Several children and Wang Xiulian were all called to the old mansion by Mrs. Lin.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't want to join in the fun.

Went up the mountain alone.

Walk halfway up the mountain.

I found some treasures and filled my purse.

I picked up the half-memorized mushrooms.

As you walk, you look around.

But suddenly stepped on a piece of softness.

When I looked down, I realized that she had stepped on a snake!

The snake was startled and sprang out.

She was also a little frightened, and she was so anxious to retreat.

But I don't want to slip under my feet.

The whole person slid down the other half of the steep slope and slid down rapidly!

In a panic, reach out and grab a vine!

The sliding body can only be stopped.

Hold on to the tree next to you and stand firm, looking up at the slope above.

The fungus in the back basket is scattered everywhere......

This can make Gu Xiaoxiao feel distressed!

Bend down little by little and pick up all the fungi.

Gu Xiaoxiao upheldβ€”β€”

The principle of falling again from where you fall.

She hooked her scimitar at the trunk of the tree and slowly descended to a flat ground.

Drilling through the trees, I saw a shallow pond.

There are some dead lotus stalks stuck in it, which are short.

The surface of the shallow pond is dry and solid, but the bottom is thin mud.

Gu Xiaoxiao glanced left and right and saw a big stone.

It took a lot of effort to push the stone down.

After waiting for a while, the stone showed no signs of sinking.

Gu Xiaoxiao jumped down with confidence and stepped on the dry soil, the book said that where there is a lotus, there must be a lotus root, so let her also come and take a look.

Choosing a piece of ground shaded by the shadows of trees, she used a scimitar to dig it up.

After about three inches of dry soil was cut open, the bottom was a little wet.

It's just a drop.

The further you dig down, the wetter the mud becomes.

Half an hour later......

A five-knot lotus root has been uprooted!

The lotus root nodes under the wet soil are obviously thicker than those on the dry soil.

It looks very fresh, and it is white when you break it open.

Gu Xiaoxiao put the lotus root on the shallow pond, climbed up with her hands and feet, and rubbed the mud on the weeds at will.

The mud rubbed off, and she began to look around the shallow pond.

This shallow pond is concave and convex.

Very irregular.

Visually estimated, go around a circle......

It should look like four or five hundred meters.

It's not that big.

With a plan in her heart, Gu Xiaoxiao poured out all the mushrooms, put the lotus root underneath, and bought a wild pheasant in the online supermarket, spread the mushrooms on the top, and pulled a few large leaves to cover them.

Return the way you came.

......

Hayashi family at the end of the village.

Gu Xiaoxiao pushed open the door.

The second elder of the Lin family is actually there.

Old man Lin and Lin Sibao sat under the eaves, discussing the verses in the book.

Lin Erbao is chopping wood.

Lin Sanbao and Lin Xiaoxi were quick with their hands and feet, picking up the firewood on the ground, holding it and piling it up under the corner of the courtyard wall.

In the stove room, Mrs. Lin caught Wang Xiulian and taught some skills and experiences in giving birth.

I saw Gu Xiaoxiao come back.

The big guys all looked up.

Each said hello.

Gu Xiaoxiao put down the back and went to get a basin to pick up all the fungi.

Pulling the pheasant wings with one hand, she cried softly:

"Erbao, I'll leave this to you!"

And when they looked, they saw meat to eat.

My eyes lit up!

But because Gu Xiaoxiao told him again and again, he didn't dare to shout loudly.

The second child of the Lin family knows that this village is: good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

Which family has some food, but it has to be hidden like a treasure.

Therefore, when the two elders saw a pheasant, they were just looking at it.

No squeaks.

Lin Sanbao trotted over, rolled his big round eyes, and covered his mouth in a low voice and said:

"Mother, meat!"

Gu Xiaoxiao smiled and pinched his face.

"Yes! My three treasures like meat the most, right? ”

Lin Sanbao was so happy that his eyes were bent into a slit.

"Uh-huh!"

The pheasant was carried by Lin Erbao and taken to the backyard.

Lin Sanbao and Lin Xiaoxi, like a curious baby, also followed them to the backyard.

Mrs. Lin sat on a small bench and washed the fungi diligently.

Since eating the mushroom once, Mrs. Lin no longer rejects this thing, but she doesn't dare to find it by herself.

If you get sick, it's too late to regret it.

But she really took this mouthful, so she could only hope that the Lin family would send her a bowl every day.

But after waiting for a long time, I can't wait.

Her heart is like a cat's paw tickling.

I want to eat!

Therefore, it was not easy to see that the Lin family planned to eat the mushroom pot.

She's got to be positive!

Wang Xiulian wanted to help wash, but was stopped by Gu Xiaoxiao.

"If you have a big belly, don't force yourself to bend over and sit for a long time."

Mrs. Lin also said on the side: "There are so many people in the family, and you are not the only one who is left to work, you can just go and rest." ”

Wang Xiulian was a little embarrassed, but it was really uncomfortable for her to be idle.

"Then I'll go in and see if the rice in the pot is steamed."

Keeping food is an easy job, and Gu Xiaoxiao didn't stop it anymore when she saw this.

Several people were busy, and the food was cooked quickly.

Meals are served.

There is no need to shout, the big guy sits down consciously.

Grab the dishes and chopsticks and eat!

......

After eating.

Gu Xiaoxiao took the washed lotus root and found Old Man Lin.

"Child, grandfather, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Even after eating, Old Man Lin didn't stop, and was telling Lin Sibao about the knowledge in the book.

Wen Yan raised his head from the book and saw that his face was serious.

Almost subconsciously, he also straightened his face.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you just have to say something, but whatever my wife and I can help, we will try our best."

The eldest daughter-in-law has such a serious expression, but I am afraid that she has difficulties and wants to borrow money.

Think about it, too, raising such a few children.

I also have to send two treasures and three treasures to learn martial arts.

I'm afraid that the silver money sent back by Dabao will be used by the family......

"I'm going to go to the village chief's house, but it's a little inconvenient for a widow to come to the door, so I want you to come with me."

When he heard that he didn't want to borrow money, Old Man Lin was still a little surprised.

"What are you going to do at my third brother's house?"

Gu Xiaoxiao's lips opened slightly, wanting to explain.

But I thought that if I was here, I would have to explain it to Old Man Lin and I would have to explain it again when I went to the village chief's house, which would be too much trouble.

She simplified directly: "I found a food that can be wrapped in the stomach, if it is all dug up, the village will not have to worry about food for half a month, the matter is very important, let's go to the village chief and say." ”

The people live on food.

In the eyes of farmers, nothing is more important than filling their stomachs.

Old man Lin was taken aback, "Is this really?" ”

Under the scorching gaze, Gu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Really, truer than pearls."

When Old Man Lin heard this, he couldn't sit still for an instant.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Although he said that he didn't have to worry about eating, Old Man Lin looked at the villagers and elders, tightening his belts all day long, living tightly, the faces of those little dolls were yellow and yellow, and his heart was even more uncomfortable than being chiseled by an awl.
