Those two things, one is a jade pendant with a missing horn, and the other is a rusty iron brand, the jade pendant is very expensive at a glance, and the iron brand is full of blood, this combination, at the same time, appeared in a remote small mountain village that was burned by fire, no matter how you look at it, it feels unusual.

Mysterious and uneasy, I can make up too many stories in my brain.

Gu Huanxi glanced at him, "Where did you pick it up?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said in a low voice, "Just from here, when I came alone before, I was curious about why this place was burned down, so I walked around first to see if I could find any clues, the other party did very clean and neat hands and feet, probably because I was afraid of leaving any evidence, so I set fire to the village, don't they all act like this on TV, what cheats do a group of people have, treasure maps, important ledgers or letters or something, and the other group of people can't come out, so they simply burn all the fires, then they can be down-to-earth, but, a hundred secrets are sparse, These two things were still left at the scene, and I found them, do you think this is fate? ”

Gu Huan happily wanted to scold people, the fate of the ghost, this is afraid that it is a bad fate, this kind of fatal thing, can there be a good one if it is contaminated?

This enemy is like getting some kind of cheapness!

"You threw it at me!"

"Why?"

Gu Huanxi pinched him hard, "Why do you say?" These broken things, keeping them will invite disaster! ”

Xu Huaiyi was entangled, "It shouldn't be, right?" What else does this have to do with us? Or is it ...... Daughter-in-law, who do you know about the owner of this jade pendant and iron brand? ”

Speaking of the back, he was excited.

Gu Huanxi grinded his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "I don't know, hurry up and throw it away!" ”

Xu Huaiyi flattered and discussed with her, "Daughter-in-law, even if you throw it now, it's too late, so many of us have been here, and if we really want to meet relevant people in the future, we just don't have anything in our hands, and the other party may be suspicious, so it's better to stay, maybe you can still blackmail the other party at that time, so that they are jealous, don't worry, I will hide them in the RV, except for the two of us, no one in this world can find it, as long as you don't agree with them in this world, I won't take them out, okay?" ”

Gu Huanxi thought about it, now that he threw it away, it was indeed not safe, in case it was more troublesome if he was picked up by others, it was better to hide it in their RV.

So, he nodded in response, but he pinched him a few more times in anger, "Don't pick up this kind of rag for me in the future!" ”

Xu Huaiyi grinned in pain, and he had to listen honestly.

After eating, the villagers divided into two groups, one to pick persimmons and walnuts, and the other to stay, protecting their own food and other miscellaneous things.

The people who stayed behind were basically women and old people with limited mobility, and young and middle-aged people carried sacks and baskets and ran to the forest at the foot of the mountain with a roar.

The children shouted and drank, and ran more happily.

Xu Huaiyi also took Gu Xiaoyu to go, in fact, there were a lot of walnuts and persimmons in the car, enough to eat on the road, but he couldn't be unique and different, right?

So, he picked most of the sacks of walnuts and a basket of persimmons, and carried them back for Gu Huanxi to clean up, and he went around again.

Compared with the busy villagers who can't even speak, Xu Huaiyi at this moment is leisurely, but no one arranges him to be lazy, just when he is helping the big guy find food.

And in fact, the search for food is incidental, he is an occupational disease, and he is curious about what tragic cases happened here back then, which led to the entire village being wiped out.

The daughter-in-law won't let him take care of it, and he can't manage it, but he can't stop it.

This look, but let him find a pond, the pond is not big, the water in it is almost dry, only some dilapidated remnants are left, if the cultural people see it, I am afraid that it will touch the scene and a sad poem, and Xu Huaiyi's eyes lit up, and he only thought of the tender lotus root hidden underneath.

He couldn't eat alone, so he called the other villagers.

The villagers had already rowed the walnuts and persimmons around the village to their homes, and when they heard Xu Huaiyi say that they had found food next to them, they couldn't take a break, so they all ran here with sacks in a hurry.

But when I saw the pond, I was a little dumbfounded.

Where's the food?

It's no wonder that the villagers have little knowledge, but there is little water in the north, and even if there is, in a place like the countryside, no one raises lotuses, and they have never even seen them.

Only the big families with money will raise it, but they are not rushing to eat lotus roots, but to enjoy the flowers for vassals.

After Xu Huaiyi explained, the villagers understood that this was the lotus, and the rhizome of the lotus flower was called lotus root, which was still hidden in the silt......

I've seen it again.

Village Chief Xu asked all the villagers, "How do you dig this lotus root?" Dig it out and eat it directly, or do you have to cook it? ”

Xu Huaiyi patiently popularized the science again, digging lotus root can not be brutal, it still requires certain skills, otherwise digging hard not to say, it is easy to break, pour into muddy water, lotus root can not be eaten, as for the way to eat lotus root, he simply said two things, at the moment this condition, it can only be fried and cold.

He first gave everyone a sample, took off his shoes, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, stepped into the mud, bent over, and talked about the trick of this place while groping, and after a while, he brought out a lotus root the thickness of an arm, which was still wrapped in mud, and could not see the original appearance, but it did not hinder the excited cheers of the crowd.

"You see it all, right? If you see it, you will dig it like this, but at this time, the water is cold, the health is not good, and the young ones are young, so don't come down to join in the fun, in case you freeze out a good one, it's not worth it. ”

Hearing this, those who were frail, as well as the children, were persuaded to retreat, staring at others one by one to dig lotus roots, and they were greedy.

The pond was lively, but the villagers looked at Xu Huaiyi's simplicity, and only when they got started did they know that this work had technical content, so the situation was full of problems, and many of them used too much force, fell into the mud with one foot, and got dirty, but they couldn't dig anything.

There are still a lot of broken lotus, a good piece of lotus root, poured into muddy water, it's a pity. However, after fumbling for a while, the villagers found the trick, and then, digging lotus root was much smoother.

In the end, the record is not bad, basically every family can get a few dozen catties, Xu Huaiyi dug the most, a high pile, there must be more than 100 catties.

This time he didn't spare any effort, he dug very hard, who called Gu Huanxi likes to eat lotus root, he finally ran into it, how can he let it go?

He couldn't move alone, so Xu Huaixiao helped carry it back.

Gu Huanxi knew that he was going to dig lotus roots, so he had already prepared ginger soup and hot water, and after seeing him, he urged him to drink a bowl of ginger soup with sugar first, and then use hot water to soak his feet and legs, for fear that he would be the root of the disease.

Xu Huaiyi enjoyed the service of his daughter-in-law beautifully, and felt that it was worth it no matter how tired and cold he was. (End of chapter)
