Sign in and get rich in farming

Yu Hongdou was very wary of this old lady who didn't look like a good person. Before anyone came up to her, she ran to the yard to tell her mother the news.

However, unlike what Yu Hongdou thought, when her mother saw the old lady for the first time, she did not go to greet her, but summoned her grandmother out from the main room first.

Then, before the old lady with a weird look in her eyes even entered the door, she called out in a roundabout way: "Oh~ Old sister, great news~"

Oh! Yu Hongdou suddenly clenched her fist. The familiar tone and the exaggerated dress instantly reminded her of the true identity of this fox demon grandmother. It turned out to be the fox demon Xiao...er, Old Matchmaker.

Hongniang, commonly known as matchmaker, does not require any guessing as to who this matchmaker is for, based on the age and popularity of the family.

It was obvious that Old Mrs. Yu was prepared for this person's arrival. After hearing Xu's call, she came out with a smile on her face.

"Oh~ Goddess of Flowers bless you, elder sister, you are so happy~"

The matchmaker's voice was a little shrill, and as she got closer, she brought with her a smell that was hard to tell whether it was fragrant or smelly. To Yu Hongdou, she felt more like the pointed-faced, monkey-faced, fox-like old lady who had traumatized her childhood.

"My dear sister, your coming home is a sign of happiness." Old Mrs. Yu gave the matchmaker a lot of face. When she said this, she coaxed the other party so much that her smile disappeared.

Yu Hongdou, holding a slingshot and with her hands behind her back, quietly followed the old lady, hoping to sneak into the house and listen to the gossip.

Unfortunately, he had just taken two steps when his collar was grabbed.

"Hehe~" Yu Hongdou turned around and saw her mother with a serious face. She couldn't help but rub her hands and smile.

"Little girl, don't go around asking questions!" Farmers don't expect their girls to be dignified and quiet, but Xu doesn't want her daughter to be like a gossip girl and listen to other people's gossip everywhere.

Yu Hongdou glanced at Xu from the corner of her eye, and seeing that she didn't smile at all, she knew her mother was serious, so she stood still obediently.

Seeing that her daughter was obedient, Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to criticize her any more.

The daughter doesn't even have a playmate of the same age, and she suffered a disaster because of the greedy Liu. Now she can't even leave the house. It's no wonder that she is bored and follows the adults around.

Mrs. Xu decided to take her daughter out for a walk.

"Mother, why did that grandmother just now say that the goddess of flowers bless us? Is the goddess of flowers the deity in charge of marriage?"

Yu Hongdou was carrying a slingshot on her back and was being pulled by her mother. Thinking of the old matchmaker's catchphrase just now, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Xu hesitated for a moment, but still told her daughter the story about Lady Hua:

"In the previous dynasty, there was a girl named Hua Zhao. When she was born, all the flowers in the garden bloomed at the same time."

"Hua Zhao was very beautiful and had a strange fragrance. She was often surrounded by butterflies. She was also good at using the fragrance of flowers as seasoning and medicine. She cured the Empress Dowager's stomach disease and the Emperor's headache."

"The emperor was very pleased and made Hua Zhao the Empress. After entering the palace, Empress Hua did not remain silent. She developed many aromatic drugs to save lives. Later generations called her Empress Hua."

"A few years ago, natural disasters and plagues were rampant, and the Zhixiang Sect suddenly emerged. It is said that it inherited the incense art of Lady Hua and donated a lot of incense to drive away plagues and epidemics. It is highly respected by the world."

"Po Wang, that's the grandmother who just came to our house. It is said that Xiang Hui was able to survive because of the Zhixiang Sect. Therefore, she is very grateful to the Goddess of Flowers and often mentions the blessing of the Goddess of Flowers."

Mrs. Xu said all these words in one breath, panting a little. Just then they reached Nanquanyan, so she planned to take her daughter there to rest for a while and drink some water.

The Goddess of Flowers, the Art of Incense, and the Incense Sect, why do these three words combined together exude such an evil quality?

Thinking of the disappeared sign-in location at the village chief's house, Yu Hongdou always felt that she seemed to have missed a very important piece of information.

But she didn't feel sorry. After all, she had heard her parents' night conversation not long ago and knew that her father and the county magistrate had both realized that something was wrong with the Zhixiang Sect, and they would be able to catch them sooner or later.

"Everyone says that the water from the North Spring is sweeter than that from the South Spring. To me, they taste the same. The South Spring is actually better because the water is not that cold." Xu squatted on the stone slab in front of the spring, washed her hands, scooped up some water and drank two sips in succession, praising with satisfaction.

Yu Hongdou didn't reply, her eyes were attracted by the stone slab covering the top of the spring.

The source of the north and south springs is a well. The well mouth is sealed with stones, and then a trough is dug at the same level as the well mouth and the ground. Long stones are laid on both sides of the trough, and villagers can stand on the long stones to draw water for use.

The wellhead of the North Spring is deep enough for water. There is a one-meter-long sluice gate in front of the water trough, and the water in the trough is one meter deep.

The well mouth of Nanquanyan has probably collapsed, with rubble piled up inside. The sluice gate in front of the trough is gone, leaving only the trough. When there is no drought or flood, the water in the trough remains about half a meter deep.

At this moment, Yu Hongdou was squatting on the long stone in front of the spring like her mother, preparing to scoop up water to drink. Unexpectedly, an inadvertent glance made her see a faint green light in the sink.

This green light was so familiar that she knew what it was even with her eyes closed. But for the one in front of her, she could only see the light. Its unique round head, positioning icon and text label were all hidden in the well.

Yu Hongdou was anxious and worried.

Unfortunately, the green light was too far away from the wellhead. Even though she had to put her head in, she could only vaguely see a green light.

Mrs. Xu didn't know what was so interesting about the spring. When she saw her daughter stretching her neck to look into the well like a little turtle, she couldn't help but sneer. Finally, she grabbed her daughter who almost fell into the water because she didn't squat steadily.

"Mom, the inside of the spring has collapsed. Why hasn't the village hired someone to clean it up? If they had, maybe more water would come out." Yu Hongdou looked back every few steps, her curiosity about the spring about to burst out.

"A little bit of water will last a long time. Anyway, the water from the north spring is enough for us to drink. It's good like this here. Just don't let it be completely blocked." After all, Xu has settled in the village for many years and has heard this from the older generation many times.

Yu Hongdou felt regretful, but had no choice but to give up. There were so many sign-in locations all over the mountains and the county, and it wouldn't be a big deal if she didn't know one of them. She had no idea how much she would love this hidden sign-in location in the future.

Xu went to take a look at the location of her new home. The reason she didn't come with her husband the day before was because she was very familiar with this area.

After all, her brother's home is here. Although she is older than her brother, they are siblings after all. They live in the same village and visit each other quite frequently. It's just that she hasn't been in touch with him recently because she's busy.

"It seems like I haven't seen my uncle these few days, and I don't know if Brother Bao has come back." Yu Hongdou suddenly thought of her cousin from her uncle's family who had been forgotten for a long time.

It’s not that she has a bad relationship with her cousin. Her cousin is six years older than her, but he has always been very good to her. This is because her cousin was sent to his grandfather’s house in Xingwang Town to go to school when he was six years old, and could only come back during the holidays.

The last time she saw her cousin was during the Chinese New Year. Her cousin Pan Bao told her that he would bring her soap beans and pheasant tail feathers next time he came back.

Yu Hongdou couldn't help but look forward to it. If she was given a handful of soap beans, she could make soap with a floral scent!
