On the other side, Zheng Wanshen ran on the uneven country road with one foot and one foot shallow, looking at the tender green weeds under her feet, she also felt the soft touch with great interest.

Perhaps because she was in a particularly cheerful mood, she arrived at the cemetery very quickly this time.

What surprised her even more was that she didn't expect her unintentional words to be true, next to her parents' tombs, there was still a family worshipping.

I was startled at first when I saw her appear, but after seeing the worship items in her basket clearly, I sighed sadly and said nothing.

Zheng Wan also did not have the habit of making friends in such a place, so he hurriedly walked to the grave of his parents and pulled out the newly grown green grass on it.

Then take out the incense candle paper money from the basket, light the fire to burn the paper, light the incense candle and insert it in front of the tomb.

She also took out the candied fruit she had specially bought, and the leftover pork meat from yesterday, which had simply been boiled in water, and looked pale and a little cold, but it was already the best thing she could take out now.

In the soft sobbing of the people next to her, she burned all the incense and candle paper money she brought, and after seeing that there was no danger of fire, she picked up all the candied fruit and white meat, put them in the basket, and then walked in the direction she had just seen.

There is a bamboo forest not far from this cemetery, if she remembers correctly, the bamboo shoots that germinated earlier at this time should have come out of the ground, showing everyone the purest true taste of spring.

Sure enough, as she expected, at the foot of the mountain, she had already begun to emerge from the ground in groups of bamboo shoots, which were not large, about two fingers wide for her.

The tiger's mouth is aimed at the bottom of the bamboo shoot, and it is folded to the outside, only to hear a crisp "click!" ”

The tender yellow bamboo shoots fell into Zheng Wan's hands, and then the sound of breaking the bamboo shoots kept stopping, "Click! Click! Click! It seems to form a beautiful music, echoing throughout the bamboo forest.

She was also immersed in the beauty of this harvest, and unconsciously people had come to the halfway up the mountain, and when she came back to her senses, she looked back at the bamboo shoots that she threw all over the ground at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but smile, like a pure white gardenia blooming in spring, fresh and moving.

She patted her hands on the dead branches and leaves, and carefully walked down from her position, for fear that one would slip directly to the bottom if she was not careful.

In fact, at this time of year, the continuous spring rain can not only make the bamboo shoots come to life, but also contaminate the area under the feet with water vapor, with the rotten fallen leaves, it is simply a foot slippery artifact.

"Whew-"

When she jumped down from a stone with a big jump, she couldn't help but let out a long breath of nervousness.

Then he looked down at his harvest in just half an hour, began to look for a clean place to sit down, and began to peel all the bamboo shoots so that he could bring them back.

The next thing is the time when Zheng Wan works silently alone, smelling the fresh air, looking at the fresh bamboo shoots in front of her, she suddenly feels that this kind of life is also very good.

Another half an hour passed, Zheng Wan comfortably stretched his waist, got up from the ground, and looked at the bamboo shoots that could stuff himself in his arms.

Suddenly she felt that her eyes were big and her strength was small, and it was not a simple matter to bring back so many things, but in order to be able to eat a bite of fresh bamboo shoots, she couldn't care about anything else, so she tied the bamboo shoots firmly with vines and stuffed them into the basket.

Carrying the "harvest" that was enough to tilt her body in one direction, she continued to walk towards the place she liked.

She hadn't forgotten the dried shrimp she wanted before, and if she didn't come this time, she would have to try to catch it in ten days if she wanted to eat it, which was inconsistent with her essence as a cook and foodie.

So, at this time, people who traveled from the city gate saw such a magical scene.

A thin lady walked in front of her with a basket that was nearly stuffed, looking at the swaying appearance, it really made people worry, will the girl not be able to carry the basket in her hand, or when will the basket that looks a little simple fall apart?

Zheng Wan's whole mind was pulled by the things in his hand, and he was in no mood to observe other people at all.

When she finally walked to the river, she couldn't help but smile with relief, and suddenly put the heavy basket in her hand on the ground, and the person also sat directly on the ground, easily watching the passenger boats coming and going not far away.

If she remembers correctly, when she came to Luoyang from Handong County, she also came from this waterway, or it can be said that she was reborn from this river.

It's a pity that she can't remember the picture before falling into the water, only the noise of the firelight and the night, and the hands holding herself.

Forget it, it's useless to think about it.

Zheng Wan looked at the marks on his hands pressed by the basket, and kneaded each other with his hands to relieve them.

When there was only a little red mark left on her hands, she immediately let go of her hand and took out the bamboo shoots, candied fruits, and white meat from the basket next to her.

Pick up the empty basket, randomly pick a few vines from the ground, spread them on the bottom of the basket, and make such a simple tool for catching small shrimp.

Then, Zheng Wan's eyes looked at the riverbank next to her, and let her find a place with abundant aquatic plants, like this, where there are usually many small river shrimp living there.

She spotted her position and walked straight to her destination.

But when she stood behind the riverbank, she slowly crouched down, and at the same time slowly stretched the basket in her hand into the water, holding her breath and concentrating, so that the basket slowly approached her target from the water.

Then, slam it out.

"Whoa!"

Countless amounts of water fall through the gaps between the bamboo baskets, creating splashes on the surface of the river.

Zheng Wan was in no mood to observe this scene at this time, her eyes were locked on the basket in her hand, and she could clearly see that on the emerald green vines, countless small shrimp were beating, one by one with infinite vitality, trying in vain to jump out of the basket area and return to her familiar waters.

The sound of "popping" on the leaves was particularly pleasant to her ears.

If she is not mistaken, she grabbed the small shrimp in her hand this time, and if she came back a few more times, the plan she made today would be completed in advance.

Thinking of this, she felt that she was also full of momentum now, and hurriedly dug a small puddle on the river bank that could accommodate the shrimp to survive.

During this time, she always felt as if something strange was shaking in the river next to the puddle, and she couldn't help but pick it up with a stick, only to find that it was a burlap bag.

"Wow! Burlap bag. ”

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

She had been worried about how to bring the bamboo shoots back with the dried shrimp after she caught them, and now she has a way to put them in a burlap bag.

After putting a few large leaves in the bamboo basket, putting water and dried shrimp, she was able to return to the capital water prison smoothly.

Thinking of this scene, Zheng Wan felt that he really wanted to come to what he wanted today, and happily washed the burlap bag and put it on the open space to dry.

Then, using the same technique, the dried shrimp are harvested in the calm waters of the river.

Maybe these shrimps have never encountered such a technique, she has not come five or six times, and the shrimp accumulated in the puddle is estimated to have reached three catties.

Seeing that she finally reached her request, she hurriedly packed up the bamboo shoots, dried shrimp and white meat as expected.

As for the candied fruit, it had already been swallowed in her stomach when she was bored with catching shrimp, which happened to solve the hunger of not eating breakfast, lest she have no physical strength to walk back to the capital water prison.

So when Zheng Wan returned to the city, she looked like she had more things on her, and she walked more slowly.

One hand carefully guarded the bamboo basket on his arm, and the other hand vigorously dragged the burlap bag that was about to mop the floor.

The boundary she walked through left a trail of water dripping, but fortunately, the temperature was high at this time, there was a lot of dust in the city, and there were many people coming and going, so that trace was quickly covered by others.

Finally walked to Buzheng Fang, she suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance, followed the place where the fragrance emanated, and found that it was the mutton cake stall she had eaten last time.

Thinking of the taste of the cake, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

In the end, it was the desire for good food that took over the high ground, and infinite power surged in her hands, waiting for her to reach the stall.

The couple immediately recognized her, looked at the burlap bag and basket in her hand curiously, and found that the basket was shrimp, their eyes were confused, and they didn't understand why Zheng Wan went outside the city to bring back this kind of thing that didn't have much meat, and stabbed his mouth.

Zheng Wan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he put down his things, and looked at the two of them panting and shouted:

"Let's have a bowl of mutton cakes!"

"Okay, little lady, wait a minute."

Hearing the sound of ordering, the two temporarily looked away from their confused eyes and concentrated on making their own mutton cakes.

Later, when the woman was served, she could not help but look into the burlap bag.

Zheng Wan didn't hide it much, plus the rope tied to the burlap bag was a little slippery, coming from outside the city, the pull along the way had already dispersed, as long as he took a look, he could see the things inside.

The woman looked at the tender bamboo shoots and said with some surprise, "The spring bamboo shoots will grow at this time?" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Wan quickly looked at the woman, then looked down at his full burlap bag, and said with satisfaction:

"Yes. I only found out when I went out of the city today, and all the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest were sharp, and I was really happy to look at it, and I picked so many of them back without paying attention. ”

"The girl is really powerful, she walked all the way back from outside the city, and she couldn't see that there was such a momentum at all."

"Hahaha! To tell you the truth, my arm feels like it's almost not my own, it's sore, and it hurts, so I guess I'll have to rest for a while after I go back. ”

"That lady has to massage it for a while, it's best to use a handkerchief dipped in hot water to apply it to it, and it will be much better when you wake up tomorrow."

"Thanks for mentioning that."

"What's this, lady, let's have lunch, be careful of being hungry."

Hearing these words of concern, Zheng Wan smiled sweetly, turned his head to look at the steaming mutton cake on the table, took a deep breath of the rich umami it exuded, and showed a happy smile.

After the woman finished reading what she was curious about, she didn't delay Zheng Wan from eating.

The two of them debated the bamboo shoots in the bag, but they didn't notice that the words on the burlap bag had faded to the point that they were almost unable to see the traces on the surface after being soaked in the river water for a long time.

Zheng Wan finished his favorite mutton cake, rubbed his slightly swollen stomach with satisfaction, and continued to sit on the chair for a while before carrying his burlap bag and bamboo basket again to the position of the water supervisor.

It was another difficult journey, she finally walked to the back door of the water supervisor, and just as she wanted to push the door in, there was a heavy footstep behind her.

Cui Zhiyun didn't expect that he would see the familiar burlap bag again at this time, especially the fine juan on the bag, which he would never forget for the rest of his life.

Seeing that the girl with the burlap bag wanted to carry the bag into the water prison, he hurriedly increased the distance of his stride, and his speed was a little hurried than usual.

It was the first time that the guards guarding the back door saw Cui Jiancheng, revealing such an unsteady pace, thinking that something big had happened.

In the next second, I saw Cui Jiancheng shouting towards Mrs. Zheng who was about to enter the door, "Girl, please slow down!" ”

Zheng Wan was a little suspicious that he was the one who stopped shouting?

As soon as she turned her head, she saw Cui Zhiyun looking at her with a dark gaze, she pointed in her direction with her fingertips, looked at Cui Zhiyun blankly, and said, "Cui Jiancheng is calling?" ”

Cui Zhiyun nodded, continued to stride forward, picked up the burlap bag containing bamboo shoots in Zheng Wan's puzzled eyes, and entered the door one step ahead of her.

At this moment, Zheng Wan's doubts in his heart were even deeper, and the two guards next to him were no better, and now they were imagining in their minds what the relationship between Cui Zhiyun and Zheng Wan was.

The two of them thought of those secret rumors at the same time, and thought: Could it be that Zheng Niangzi and Cui Jiancheng really have an unknown relationship?

Inside the door, Cui Zhiyun had already walked forward for a while, but he didn't hear the sound of anyone following.

He turned around and found that Zheng Wan was still stupidly stunned outside the door, and said a little anxiously: "Girl, please come along, I have something important to ask." ”

"Oh."

Zheng Wan kept up with Cui Zhiyun's pace in a daze, and after a while, the two came to the front yard - Cui Zhiyun's office room, this is the second time she has come to the front yard office area.

Looking at the broken bamboo basket and the dusty burlap bag that did not fit in with the room, she said with some confusion:

"I don't know what Cui Jiancheng needs to say?"

Cui Zhiyun knew at a glance that Zheng Wan had nothing to do with the matter of private salt, and also understood that this burlap bag must have been picked up by her from some secret place, otherwise the people in the water prison would not have found a trace of half of the river.

However, the secrets of the case cannot be revealed to outsiders.

He deliberately brought Zheng Wan his case from the trail, looking at the dazed appearance of the person in front of him, he had a cold face as usual, and said stiffly:

"Where did the lady's bag with bamboo shoots come from?"

Zheng Wan never thought that Cui Jiancheng brought him from the back door and helped carry the bag, just to ask himself where he picked up the burlap bag.
