Chapter 183, Ten Years Ago!
"Ten years ago, the kind village chief not only gave money to build a house, but also helped to watch feng shui? The service was so good at home? This kind of village chief is really rare, and it is nothing more than that!" Su Xiaoliu showed an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, and muttered to himself.

After getting the answer he wanted, Su Xiaoliu was a little satisfied, rubbed the head of Erya, who was squatting on the ground, and praised the little girl who couldn't speak: "Well done, Erya!"
Erya, who was praised, narrowed her eyes into two crescents, and her joy was overflowing, not only that, but she also glanced at Mao San on the side as if demonstrating, as if to say, see it, my five taels of silver are not in vain, and I am also useful.
It's a pity that Erya's demonstration can be regarded as a flattering look thrown to the blind, Mao San didn't care at all, and naturally didn't care about Erya's demonstration.
Not only that, but a white eye was thrown away, and the little face of the two girls was puffed up at that time.
Su Xiaoliu looked at the fighting methods of this brother and sister, smiled dumbly, shook his head, and got up to leave.
Seeing that Jin was leaving, Mao San and Er Ya didn't care about continuing to fight, and immediately kept up with Su Xiaoliu's pace.
In this way, Su Xiaoliu took Mao San and Erya to walk through the alleys, through the alleys, and went to several places, asked the same question, and got almost the same answer.
Ten years ago, the village chief funded and invited people to see feng shui, and the objects were some poor people who couldn't open the pot.
Judging from this information alone, this unmasked village is really an out-and-out good person, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a role model.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoliu decided that it was necessary for him to meet this good village chief.
It's just that it's not now, Su Xiaoliu looked back at Er Ya and Mao San, who were a little tired.
The first priority now is to go back, because after wandering outside like this for a while, it is getting dark, and it is time to go back.
It's just that on the way back, when passing a house, a cry suddenly sounded, which made Su Xiaoliu's footsteps pause, but it was late, Su Xiaoliu didn't want to make trouble, so he silently wrote down the location of this family in his heart, and went back with the three Mao brothers and sisters.
Back at Mao San's house, dinner was naturally ready, Su Xiaoliu was naturally polite, said hello, and started eating, because according to his understanding of Mao San's family, the more polite he was, the one who suffered in the end.
There's no way, this family is too straightforward to tell what politeness is.
So the situation of the door panel bed overnight has already made Su Xiaoliu learn to be well-behaved, what kind of trick is it?
When Su Xiaoliu was eating in a big gulp, he found that he didn't know what was going on, the food in this Mao San's family was also very ordinary, and there were some common dishes on the table, and the materials were all home-grown, so it was not an exaggeration to call it coarse tea and light rice.
It's just that the taste is delicious and abnormal, even Su Xiaoliu was a glutton in his previous life, and he couldn't stop using chopsticks in the face of such a dish, which made Su Xiaoliu very puzzled.
You know, even because the farmhouse food is fresh, but it is delicious to this extent, it is a little weird.
It's just that Su Xiaoliu looked at the accustomed appearance of Mao San's family, and didn't seem to feel that today's dishes were any different from the past.
Anyway, the poison talisman in the body did not send out an abnormal signal, proving that the meal in front of him was not poisonous, since this was the case, Su Xiaoliu no longer thought about why this meal was so delicious, but accelerated the speed of eating.
After all, it's good to have eggs to eat, and there's no need to study how eggs are grown.
Just when Su Xiaoliu was full of wine and food, he just wanted to go back to his "somewhat simple" side room with only one door panel bed to rest, and the courtyard door of Maosan's courtyard was pushed open.
What followed was a middle-aged man wearing a white cloth with red forehead under his eyes, and he spoke before he entered the room, but this voice, for some reason, sounded a little hoarse:
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, my old man is gone, tell you, there is filial piety on my body, I won't go in, the things will be put at the door, tomorrow trouble the second sister-in-law to go over to help!"
As soon as he said that, without waiting for the Mao San's family to respond, he turned around and left, but the shaking shoulders and the somewhat irrepressible sobbing sound proved that the person who spoke was far less calm than he appeared.
"Uncle Mao San, what's the matter? Wasn't the old man okay yesterday? How can you say that you just left?" Mao San's father and mother walked out when someone pushed open the courtyard door, and when they heard the person telling like this, they were immediately shocked and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know what's going on, I was fine last day, I ate three eggs this morning, and drank a big bowl of rice porridge, but it's not good at night!"
"Uncle He, don't be too sad, the old man is over sixty years old, and he is considered to be a long life in our village, don't hurt your body, let the old man go without worry, I will arrive early tomorrow morning, and your second brother will also go over to help!" Mao San's mother comforted.
The visitor didn't say anything more, just said "um" and walked away.
Seeing the person walking away, Mao Sanniang said to Mao San's father:
"Alas, you say it's evil! A good person, just leave, this old man is also a miserable life, one person raised three sons, finally the children are married, the grandchildren also have it, and when they can finally enjoy the blessings, the people are gone, no wonder his uncle is sad like this!"
"Then what's the way, human life is determined by heaven, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, and will never leave you to the fifth watch, this is fate, besides, this old man is also good, it's sixty-seven or eight, compared to those who left in their sixties, it has already been earned, don't you look at it, how many people have lived to his age?" Mao San and his father responded casually.
Su Xiaoliu on the side was shocked, is a long life when he is in his sixties?
You must know that this otherworldly situation is special, different from Su Xiuwen's situation on the earth in his previous life, because of the existence of aura, the lifespan of people here is not short.
Even in this mortal world, mortals can't cultivate immortality because they don't have the method of cultivation, but after all, this aura is everywhere, no matter whether you can cultivate or not, under the nourishment day and night, ordinary people live to be a hundred years old, and there is really no difficulty.
But from the conversation just now, I learned that the people of this small Mao Village are not like this, sixty-seven or eight is considered a long life, and about sixty is a normal life expectancy, and they are used to it.
There is a big problem here, Su Xiaoliu thought to himself.
Nothing was said all night.
Because the day before, he had already slept well and washed away the fatigue of the journey, so today, Su Xiaoliu didn't sleep until the third pole of the day, and got up early.
When he came to the courtyard, Mao San was still competing with the wood in the courtyard, and Erya, seeing that Su Xiaoliu had gotten up, hurriedly brought the same coarse porcelain bowl as yesterday, Su Xiaoliu was not polite, took the big bowl, and poured breakfast into his stomach with a sigh.
Seeing that Su Xiaoliu had finished breakfast, without waiting for Su Xiaoliu to speak, Mao San dropped the axe with a "whoosh" and walked in front of Su Xiaoliu.
And Erya also quickly sent the coarse porcelain bowl back to the stove, and didn't bother to wash it, so he ran over directly.
The two brothers and sisters stood still in front of Su Xiaoliu, one big and one small, staring at Su Xiaoliu with blank eyes, it seems that yesterday's fifteen taels of silver made the brother and sister worry about it.
Seeing this, Su Xiaoliu was not annoyed, isn't it just silver? Brother doesn't have much else, just a lot of silver, immediately smiled, waved his little hand, and walked!
On this day's wandering, Su Xiaoliu did not put the destination in the village, but asked the two brothers and sisters to take themselves around the village.
What Su Xiaoliu wants to go to the most is the hillside where green jade thatch is produced, not to mention, what happened in this small grass village was caused by this green jade thatch, so if you want to investigate what happened in Xiao Mao Village, you can go to the hillside where Su Xiao can't avoid it.
Of course, in Su Xiaoliu's heart, there is no trace of the idea of picking up the leak, although it is said that this hillside has been harvested for many years, even if there is a fish that has slipped through the net for a while, it is difficult to survive under so many years of picking, so the possibility of missing pearls is almost impossible.
Even so, Su Xiaoliu still had a little bit of luck, in case he found one or two of them, he would waste so much hard time going back and forth.
It's just that this time, Su Xiaoliu's goal was not achieved, although the grassy hillside of the year was in front of him, but Su Xiaoliu and the three of them had no way to enter.
To be precise, it's not that there is no way, but that you can't enter at all, unless Su Xiaoliu wants to alarm Xiaomao Village.
This green hillside is protected by a formation, and from the flickering runes in the ripples in the air, it can be seen that this formation itself is a warning formation, and once triggered, it will cause an alarm!
This is just a vigilance formation, if you talk about the degree of defense, it is estimated that it can only block mortals such as Mao San and Erya, in addition, even a disciple in the Qi refining period can easily break the defense.
It's just that as soon as this formation is broken, it will definitely alarm the outer disciple who is guarding Xiaomao Village, although this outer disciple has disappeared, but Su Xiaoliu doesn't think that he can break the formation without alarming anyone.
It's not time for him to meet some people yet, so Su Xiaoliu also put out the thought of entering this grassy hillside, forget it, the coming day is long, there will always be a chance to go in, Su Xiaoliu comforted himself like this.
The place he wanted to go to the most was not done, and Su Xiaoliu's heart was inevitably a little frustrated, but since he came out, Su Xiaoliu didn't want to go back so early, after all, it was still early for lunch, so he was not in a hurry to go back.
Even if you can't go up this hillside, then just go to the beach for a walk, Su Xiaoliu has really never been to the beach since he came to this world, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to go shopping.
Mao San and Er Ya don't have any opinions, as long as Su Xiaoliu gives money, let alone go to the beach, even if they go home now, there is no problem.
As people born by the sea, Mao San and Erya naturally didn't understand Su Xiaoliu's feelings, what was there to see about the crooked sea in front of them, if it weren't for some seafood harvests from time to time, Mao San and Erya rarely came to the beach in normal times.
And the seaside of Xiaomao Village also disappointed Su Xiaoliu, the seaside that has not been planned and repaired is not as Su Xiaoliu imagined, and there is naturally no delicate and silky white sand.
Walking on a beach lined with gravel trees, Su Xiaoliu grinned at those irregular small stones, his original interest was destroyed, and he just wanted to retreat, but a huge rock in front of him attracted Su Xiaoliu's attention.
The reason why this huge rock attracted Su Xiaoliu's attention was mainly because the rock was a little too flat, it seemed to have traces of artificial excavation, and there were slight protrusions around it, looking from a distance, it looked like a huge inkstone was placed there.
The raised part is like the edge of an inkstone, except that the inkstone is not black but white.
From a distance, there is still some white gravel on this white rock, reflecting the sunlight and shining.
Su Xiaoliu and the three of them walked to the side of the rock, and when they arrived near the rock, Su Xiaoliu found that this place seemed to have been deliberately sorted out, there was no gravel on the beach, and it was obvious that there was a path leading to the village, even on the side facing the sea, the amount of gravel was much less than that of other places.
Seeing that Su Xiaoliu was very interested in this huge white rock, Mao San spoke: "
This is the salt stone in our village, if there is no salt to eat, then come here, pick a few loads of seawater and pour it, and wait until a day later, there will be sea salt to eat, you see, the salt dried by the last family has not been finished, this seaside is good, eat salt without worrying!"
After listening to Mao San's narration, Su Xiaoliu took a closer look and figured out what was going on, and after understanding what was going on, he had to sigh at the magic of heaven and earth, and the wisdom of working people.
This huge rock itself is supposed to be a natural production, I don't know what a coincidence, this rock is polished so smooth, and it has the shape of an inkstone, and the edge is raised, forming a natural container that can hold seawater.
I don't know if it was discovered by accident, or some kind of accidental coincidence, the villagers of Xiaomao Village discovered the role of this rock in drying salt, which is trouble-free and convenient, so it is possible to have the appearance that Su Xiaoliu sees now.
Su Xiaoliu curiously pinched a little sea salt left by a family from the rock, and put it in front of him to take a look, different from the rough sea salt that Su Xiaoliu saw on the earth, the sea salt here actually has a crystal clear feeling, just like the sea salt that has been refined in the previous life, which makes Su Xiaoliu look amazing.
Putting a pinch of sea salt in his mouth, Su Xiaoliu squinted his eyes and tasted it, there was no bitter taste of sea salt in his previous life, it seemed that the sea water in this world had very few impurities, and it could almost be regarded as pure salt water.
That pinch of sea salt melted on the tip of Su Xiaoliu's tongue, and in addition to that salty taste, a familiar delicious taste spread out from the taste buds of Su Xiaoliu's mouth.
That's right, that's the taste! Su Xiaoliu finally knew why the same meal made Su Xiaoliu feel extremely delicious in this small Mao Village, the freshness of the ingredients was one thing, and this peculiar sea salt was a great contributor to making this dish delicious.
After figuring out the secret of Mao San's meal, Su Xiaoliu was very happy, and saw that the sun was not early, so he was ready to go back, after all, if it was lunch today, Erya's sister was in charge, go back early, and see if there was anything that Erya needed to help.
After all, the eldest girl is only a few years older than the second girl, and she is a half-old child, although it is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house, and this eldest girl can already cook independently, but when she thinks of letting a half-old child prepare lunch alone, Su Xiaoliu is still a little embarrassed.
As for Mao San's parents, they went to the old man's deceased home early this morning to help.
Back at Mao San's home, Su Xiaoliu looked at the busy eldest girl and the second girl, as well as the three girls and four girls running crazy all over the yard, and the toddler Mao Liuliu, Su Xiaoliu was in a cold sweat.
A few days ago, I didn't find out that Mao San's parents were really powerful, including Mao San, there were six children, and the most powerful thing was that the age span was so large that Su Xiaoliu was amazed.
Suddenly, Su Xiaoliu asked curiously: "Mao San, you are obviously the boss, why do you want Mao San?" You look at the eldest girl, the second girl, the third girl and the fourth girl, at first glance, it is the name of the family's ranking, as the boss, shouldn't you be called Mao Da or Mao Yiyi?"
Mao San stopped the axe in his hand, wiped the sweat from his head, took a breath and said:
"I have two older brothers, but I didn't support them, so I'm called Mao San!"
After saying this, after a pause, Mao San continued:
"Since then, no child has been born in a few years, originally my father and mother thought that this was it, but I didn't expect that almost ten years ago, the eldest girl was born, and my father and mother were very happy.
But I was worried that God would take it away, so I named it Daya, pretending to be the first one born, maybe this name has an effect, and in the past few years, there have been two girls, three girls, four girls, and then the children are really a little too much, and this little six is called back to Liuliu. ”
Mao San explained the peculiar way of naming his home in a few words, although it sounded a little funny, but it contained the parents' affection for their children, which was touching.
It's just that Su Xiaoliu didn't have time to care about the deep affection of Mao San's parents contained in the names of Mao San's brothers and sisters, and Su Xiaoliu's mind was full of "ten years ago" at this time!
Ten years ago, the village chief was merciful, paid out of his own pocket to help the villagers build houses, and invited people to look at feng shui, and even helped to think of the style and pattern of the house.
It was also ten years ago, Mao San's parents, who saw that it was impossible to have children anymore, suddenly had the birth of a big girl, and since then, it has been out of control, and the second girl, the third girl, the fourth girl, and the sixth six were born one after another.
If you want to say that there is nothing related to this, Su Xiaoliu doesn't believe it if he is killed!
What a big deal, what does this Mao village chief want to do?
It seems that it is necessary for me to meet the village chief for a while.
