Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Those two things, one is a jade pendant with a missing corner, and the other is a rusty iron sign. The jade pendant looks very expensive at first glance, while the iron sign smells of blood. This combination appeared in a remote quilt at the same time. In the small mountain village that was burned out by fire, no matter how you look at it, it feels unusual.

Mysterious and unsettling, I can think of too many stories.

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

Xu Huaiyi whispered, "Just start from here. When I came here 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's actions were very clean and neat, about They were just afraid of leaving any evidence behind, so they set fire to the village. Isn’t that how it is shown on TV? One group of people has secret books, treasure maps, important account books or letters, etc. in their hands, and the other group of people can’t dig it out. , just burn them all, and you will be at ease. However, despite all the efforts, these two things were left at the scene, and I discovered them. Do you think this is fate?"

Gu Huan was so angry that he wanted to curse. Damn it, this was probably a bad fate. How could it be possible to get involved in such a fatal thing?

But this enemy seems to have gotten something advantageous!

"Throw it away quickly!"

"why?"

Gu Huanxi pinched him hard and said, "Why do you think it is? Keeping these broken things will cause disaster!"

Xu Huaiyi struggled and said, "It shouldn't be the case, right? Does this have anything to do with us? Or...my wife, do you know who the owner of this jade pendant and iron sign is?"

After saying that, he became excited.

Gu Huanxi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know you, throw it away quickly!"

Xu Huaiyi discussed with her in a flattering manner, "Daughter-in-law, even if you throw it away now, it's too late. So many of us have been here. If we really meet someone relevant in the future, even if we don't have anything in our hands, the other party may become suspicious." , so, it’s better to stay, then maybe you can blackmail the other party and make them afraid. Don’t worry, I will hide them in the RV. No one in the world can find them except the two of us. As long as you don’t agree with them. I won’t take it out in this world, okay?”

Gu Huanxi thought about it, and it was really not safe to throw it away now. It would be more troublesome if someone else picked it up, so it would be better to hide it in their RV for safety.

So, he nodded in agreement, but angrily pinched him a few more times, "Don't go back to pick up this kind of rags again!"

Xu Huaiyi grimaced in pain and had to obey the instructions honestly.

After eating, the villagers divided into two groups. One group went to pick persimmons and walnuts, while the other group stayed behind to protect the food and other miscellaneous things in their own homes.

Most of the people left behind were women and elderly people with limited mobility. The young and middle-aged people were all carrying sacks and backpacks and running hurriedly towards the forest at the foot of the mountain.

The children shouted, drank, and ran more happily.

Xu Huaiyi also went with Gu Xiaoyu. In fact, there were still a lot of walnuts and persimmons in the car, enough to eat on the road, but he couldn't be unique, could he?

So, he joined in the fun and picked most of the sacks of walnuts and a basket of persimmons, and carried them back for Gu Huanxi to pack while he wandered around again.

Compared to the villagers who were too busy to talk, Xu Huaiyi was very leisurely at the moment, but no one told him to be lazy, they just thought he was helping everyone find food.

In fact, Xun Mo was eating food by the way. He suffered from an occupational disease because he was curious about what tragic case happened here in the past, which led to the entire village being wiped out.

His wife wouldn't let him take care of it, and he couldn't do it, but he couldn't stop him from taking a look.

This sight made him find a pond. The pond was not big, and the water in it was almost dry. There were only some dilapidated remnants of lotuses left. If a cultural person saw it, he would probably recite poems with sadness. A song, and Xu Huaiyi's eyes were shining, and he could only think of the tender lotus roots hidden underneath.

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

The villagers had already brought all the walnuts and persimmons from around the village to their homes. When they heard Xu Huaiyi said that they had found food nearby, they all rushed here again carrying sacks without taking a rest.

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

Where is the food?

It’s not that the villagers are ignorant, but that there are few water resources in the north. Even if there is water, no one grows lotus in places like the countryside, and they have never even seen it.

Only rich people will raise them, but they are not just for eating lotus roots, but for the sake of being elegant and admiring flowers.

After Xu Huaiyi explained, the villagers understood that this was the lotus. It turned out that the rhizome of the lotus was called lotus root, and it was still hidden in the mud...

Gained knowledge again.

Village Chief Xu asked what all the villagers were thinking, "How should I dig this lotus root? Do I need to dig it out and eat it directly, or do I need to cook it?"

Xu Huaiyi patiently did some popular science again. Digging lotus roots cannot be done recklessly. It still requires certain skills. Otherwise, it will take a lot of effort to dig, and it will easily break. If muddy water is poured into it, the lotus roots will not be eaten. As for how to eat lotus roots. , he simply said two things. Under the current conditions, it can only be stir-fried and cold.

He first showed everyone, took off his shoes, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs, stepped into the mud, bent down, and talked about the secret while groping, and after a while, he took out a lotus root as thick as an arm. , the outside is still covered in mud, so the original appearance cannot be seen, but it does not prevent everyone from cheering excitedly.

"Do you understand everything? If you understand it, just dig like this. However, the water is cold at this time, and those who are in poor health or young should not come down to join in the fun. If it freezes, it is not worth it."

Hearing this, those who were weak and the children were persuaded to retreat. They all stared at others digging lotus roots with greedy eyes.

The pond was bustling with activity, but the villagers looked at Xu Huaiyi's simple work and realized that it was a very technical job when they got started. As a result, there were various situations. Many of them used too much force and fell into the mud with their feet. The whole body was dirty, but nothing could be found.

There were also quite a lot of broken lotus roots, and some good pieces of lotus root were poured into the muddy water, which was really a pity. But after fumbling for a while, the villagers found the trick, and then digging lotus roots went much more smoothly.

In the end, the results were pretty good. Basically, every family could get dozens of kilograms. Xu Huaiyi dug the most, with a tall pile weighing more than a hundred kilograms.

This time he didn't waste any effort and dug particularly hard. Who knows that Gu Huanxi likes to eat lotus roots? It's not easy to come across it, how can he let it go?

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

Gu Huanxi knew that he was going to dig lotus roots, so she had already prepared ginger soup and hot water. After meeting him, she urged him to drink a bowl of ginger soup with sugar, and then used hot water to soak his feet and legs. I'm afraid it will be the root cause of the disease.

Xu Huaiyi enjoyed his wife's service beautifully, feeling that no matter how tired or cold he was, it was all worth it.
