Chapter 9: The Caravan Comes
Ling Jiujiu didn't know what the dog was thinking, otherwise, Ling Jiujiu would definitely directly beat the dog to the point that he couldn't take care of himself.
Since she had contracted Xiao Wang Ba, Ling Jiujiu felt that it was not good for her to drink Xiao Wang Ba's stew soup anymore, she glanced at Xiao Wang Ba helplessly, and finally took Xiao Wang Ba home with a little regret.
What a fart you regret! Lao Tzu is Xuanwu, is it good to be Xuanwu! How much effort does it take for others to make a spirit beast with Xuanwu blood already burns incense and worships the Buddha, you actually regret that Lao Tzu can't make soup, did you Temu just choke on the water in the lake and choke on the brains into the water!
Xuanwu sneered, but it only dared to close its heart and curse a few words in its heart, it believed that if Ling Jiujiu heard it scolding, the next second it would definitely be to burn the fire rack pot, cut ginger slices, enlarge green onions, and boil it into a pot of fragrant Xuanwu soup.
Ling Jiujiu went home in an embarrassment, which frightened Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, Ling Jiujiu didn't want to tell the two of them the truth of the matter, but the dog was too honest, and before Ling Jiujiu could open his mouth to appease Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, the dog poured beans into a bamboo tube and told Ling Jiujiu about falling into the lake.
After listening to the dog's words, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu first charged the dog with poor care, Uncle Wu raised his leg and gave the dog a series of kicks, Aunt Wu picked up the broom and gave the dog a meal of fried meat with bamboo poles, and finally the two staged a mixed doubles play, and finally the dog knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and this domestic violence came to an end.
Compared with the misery of the dog, Ling Jiujiu was loved by Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu in every way, Uncle Wu boiled hot water for Ling Jiujiu, and Aunt Wu cooked ginger soup for Ling Jiujiu, Ling Jiujiu soaked in hot water and drank ginger soup, which made the dog who was still kneeling in the yard envious enough.
Aunt Wu originally wanted to help Ling Jiujiu take a bath, but Ling Jiujiu insisted on refusing, she was not really a four-year-old child, she couldn't stand others touching her, even if she was rubbing the bath for her.
Aunt Wu persuaded a few words, but Ling Jiujiu insisted on refusing, and Aunt Wu had no choice but to give up, but she still stood at the door and asked Ling Jiujiu to call her in if there was anything.
After Aunt Wu went out, Ling Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief, and when she was taking a bath, Ling Jiujiu found a strange thing, after she took off her clothes, she found that she had a layer of greasy and black things on her body.
Ling Jiujiu has a bit of a cleanliness fetish, she has to take a bath every day on weekdays, so her body is clean no matter what time it is, Ling Jiujiu is nauseous enough after seeing the dirty things on her body, she really can't remember when she stuck these dirty things.
"You just ate the Ground-Breaking Jade Immortal Grass, you will definitely expel all the impurities in your body! What is there to make a fuss about!" Xuanwu, who was squatting on the edge of the bathtub with his back on his back, snorted coldly and said.
The so-called ground-breaking jade fairy grass is the white herb that the people in the village say, and the reason why Xuanwu appears in this peach blossom village is precisely because of it.
Xuanwu is a divine beast, but the life span of a divine beast also has an end, other spirit beasts will die when their life is exhausted, only Xuanwu will become an egg and hatch again when its life is exhausted, and live again from the beginning.
Every fifty years, Osmanthus Village will grow a ground-breaking jade fairy grass, this herb is a spiritual grass that can remove all kinds of diseases for mortals, but for immortal cultivators, it is a good thing to wash the essence and cut the marrow.
The Earth-Breaking Jade Immortal Grass can be taken without refining into a spirit pill, and the best time to take it is also before cultivating immortals.
The ground-breaking jade immortal grass will clean up the impurities in the body and reshape the muscles and bones, with such benefits, if you cultivate immortals in the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
Before Xuanwu was reincarnated, he happened to find that Osmanthus Village would grow a ground-breaking jade fairy grass every fifty years, this fairy grass is a good thing for immortal cultivators, and it is also a good thing for spirit beasts, Xuanwu reincarnated and chose Osmanthus Village for this fairy grass, but he didn't expect that it did just catch up with the maturity of the fairy grass, but this fairy grass to the mouth was snatched away by Ling Jiujiu, thinking of this, Xuanwu's tone couldn't help but be sour.
"You are also lucky, your meridians have all been sealed before, if no one unlocks the sealed meridians for you, you will definitely not live to be ten years old, but this ground-breaking jade fairy grass has opened all your meridians, this is really your good luck!" Xuanwu said again.
It is said that people are old and horses are slippery, not to mention that Xuanwu is an old turtle who has lived for millions of years, and it can be said immodestly that there is nothing in this world that can hide from its little eyes of thieves.
After listening to Xuanwu's words, Ling Jiujiu became more and more curious about the identity of this little girl from the countryside, and Ling Jiujiu wanted to ask Xuanwu something, but heard a commotion outside.
"Xiao Jiu, have you finished taking a shower, hurry out after washing, this convoy of goods is coming!" Aunt Wu's voice was full of joy and shouted to Ling Jiujiu through the door.
There are demon beasts in the mountains outside Osmanthus Village, not only in Osmanthus Village, but also near other villages, so people in the village rarely go out, and if they want to buy things, they can only rely on the caravan that comes once a year.
Every time a caravan comes to the village, it will cause a lot of excitement, especially for children, because the caravan will always bring some strange gadgets from outside, as well as those fragrant and sweet sugars, which are extremely tempting things for children.
The people in the village don't have much money, but they can barter, and the people in the village will exchange the saved food or woven cloth for some necessities, but there are also people who spoil their children and will exchange a few pieces of candy for their children's tooth sacrifices, which are extremely luxurious for children, and they can show off with other children for a whole year.
When Ling Jiujiu got dressed and came out, the dog was no longer in the yard, he had already run out and had fun around the caravan's big green mules.
The villagers went to the threshing floor in groups, and the caravan would exchange things with the villagers at the threshing floor, which was also the old rule over the years.
When Aunt Wu took Ling Jiujiu's hand and came to the threshing floor, many people had already gathered in the threshing floor, and everyone greeted each other warmly after seeing Ling Jiujiu and Aunt Wu, and a few women from the village squeezed over and stuffed the sugar man in their hands into Ling Jiujiu's hand.
The children in the family can eat without sugar, but as long as the family has spare money, they will definitely exchange some sugar for Ling Jiujiu, the people of Osmanthus Village are so kind, that immortal saved the lives of the whole village, and everyone will repay this kindness to Ling Jiujiu.
