Grandma Zhu was speechless: "I also want to ask, why don't you help collect? You can only talk, who can't do that?"

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, the elder shouted: "Enough."

Shu Xi hid outside and heard all the quarrels among these people.

These people thought she was poisoned by cartilage powder, so they were completely defenseless against her and never expected that she would be eavesdropping outside.

Listening to them making a fuss and shirking responsibility, Shu Xi quietly retreated.

Seeing Shu Xi leaving, Yang Yong said, "Let's go."

"Little girl, you still want to deceive us. You don't know your place." Grandma Zhu sneered.

In fact, they knew it as soon as Shu Xi came over.

Shu Xi was poisoned by the cartilage powder and walked unsteadily. Even though she tried her best to move faster, they still noticed it.

The elder said, "I thought she was so powerful, but she is just like this."

"However, it's good enough that they could break in," said Grandma Zhu.

"Should we tell the people above us?" Yang Yong asked.

The elder said, “What do you want to say?”

Yang Yong shook his head, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He said: "If the people above knew that we let strangers in, I'm afraid..."

They thought of something at the same time and couldn't help but tremble all over, with expressions of horror on their faces.

Yang Yong looked at the elder instigatingly, made a gesture of wiping his neck, and said: "Elder, why don't we..."

The elder immediately said: "No! We can't kill people casually, otherwise we will anger the mountain god and we will..."

Everyone shuddered again, and their faces looked even more horrified.

Yes, if they angered the mountain god, none of them would survive.

"Then what are we going to do?"

"Let's wait until next month and find a way to send them out." said the elder.

"Yes, yes, next month is fine."

Hearing this, Shu Xi flashed away quickly.

Next month, Shu Xi repeated to herself a few times, next month.

Why are they so sure to send them away next month?

If they couldn't kill them, they could send them away now, unless...

She knows!

Perhaps, there is something like a barrier here that opens once a month.

This month, that is, a few days ago, it has already been opened, so I can only wait until next month.

That means she can go out next month!

Before going out, she must first find the things left here by the ancestors of the Meng family. Otherwise, she would not be willing to come here with great difficulty but return empty-handed!

Just now, she pretended to show it to those people, making them think that she had taken cartilage powder and had difficulty moving.

That way, after they thought she had left, they would let down their guard and speak their minds without reservation.

Shu Xi quickly returned to the room. At this time, Duan Ming was still twitching on the ground and having a seizure.

I have to say, he looks really ugly and disgusting when he is sick.

Shu Xi took out her cell phone and swiped a picture towards his face.

Duan Ming knew she was taking pictures and glared at her fiercely.

Shu Xi sighed and said, "Why, do you still have the dignity to do so even when you're sick? Look at how ugly you are when you're sick."

"Shut... up..." After Duan Ming said this, he felt that all his strength was almost used up.

He lay on the ground breathing heavily.

However, Shu Xi really shut up because Grandma Zhu and A Zi and others came over.

Seeing Duan Ming still lying on the ground twitching, A Zi squatted down.

When Duan Ming saw A Zi's ghostly face, a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

Ah Zi originally wanted to help him, but when she saw his weird reaction, she didn't do anything.

She looked at Shu Xi and said, "You... come here."

Shu Xi looked at Ah Zi and asked warily, "What?"

Ah Zi said, "You come to our place, eat our food and sleep with us, and you don't need to pay? You have to work!"

Shu Xi said: "What if I don't do it?"

"Then don't eat it."

Grandma Zhu looked at A Zi deeply, and her eyes seemed to say, this is exactly what I want to say to you.

Ah Zi took Shu Xi out and said, "Come and watch me do it. I will only do it once. You watch me do it. When I'm done, you do it yourself."

It turned out that she had picked some fresh herbs at the foot of the mountain and now she wanted to prepare them into Chinese medicinal herbs.

Grandma Zhu was making dried goods, such as dried sweet potatoes and dried peanuts.

After doing this, she went back to weaving.

People who don’t know would think she had traveled to ancient times.

However, the clothes they wear are a bit rustic, giving a feeling of China from the 1970s and 1980s.

Shu Xi asked: "What year is it now?"

Ah Zi looked at Shu Xi as if she was a monster: "You don't know?"

Is she a fool? Can a fool understand these things?

Shu Xi said: "2024?"

Ah Zi held her forehead with her hand, he was indeed a fool.

She said: "Jiachen year, sixty-one Jiazi, don't you understand?"

Shu Xi exclaimed, it turns out they are still using this, the lunar calendar's sexagenary cycle.

What era are they from? They still use the lunar calendar to record years.

After the founding of the State of China, the Gregorian calendar was officially used. Does this mean that they didn't know about the founding of the State of China?

Shu Xi wanted to test it again, but A Zi had already started working silently and ignored Shu Xi.

Shu Xi couldn't find an opportunity, so she had to give up.

"You idiot, I told you to cut it into thick slices, but what the hell did you cut? You ruined all my herbs!"

Shu Xi played dumb and looked at A Zi innocently: "I don't understand, what is a thick sheet?"

"You don't understand, just look at how I cut it, my cut is the standard!"

Shu Xi cut a few more slices, but the result still did not satisfy A Zi.

She said, "You are so stupid and clumsy, go and light the fire."

Shu Xi uttered an "oh", and soon the entire pharmacy was filled with thick smoke, which made Ah Zi so angry that she yelled, "Get out of here!"

Shu Xi looked at Ah Zi innocently and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"Get out."

With a "bang", Shu Xi was pushed out and the door was closed.

A Zi's cursing voice could be heard from the room, along with the sound of ping-pong, venting her dissatisfaction.

Shu Xi was rejected, but she didn't feel sad. Instead, she felt quite good.

Granny Zhu waved to Shuxi, and Shuxi walked over obediently: "Grandma, what's the matter?"

Granny Zhu stuffed some peanuts into Shuxi's hands. She smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line and said, "She wanted to be lazy, so she deserves it."

Shu Xi didn't hesitate and started eating the peanuts.

Grandma Zhu glanced at Shuxi, then watched her eat with relish, her expression a little complicated.
