Chapter 318 The Third Jade Lotus
Yu Hongdou looked in the direction Tan Yanlin pointed, and saw a piece of green jade faintly visible among the colorful silk ribbons.
Yu Hongdou stared at the piece of jade. As the old man moved, the shape of the jade gradually became clear. At this moment, Yu Hongdou finally understood what Tan Yanlin was referring to.
The green jade lotus, in terms of shape and color, is very similar to the two in Yu Hongdou's hands.
"Grandma Gu, can I ask you something about your green jade lotus..." Since Grandma Gu has worn it, it proves that it is not a secret. Yu Hongdou simply asked directly.
"What are you talking about? My father passed it down to me. I don't know where he got it from." Grandma Gu took the green jade lotus from her waist and handed it to Yu Hongdou.
When Yu Hongdou saw the ferocious animal heads on the petals, she confirmed that this green jade lotus was exactly the same as the two in her hands.
The first green jade lotus was from Sandai Mountain. Yu Hongdou was captured by Liu Jiaoniang and was found in the secret compartment beside Liu Jiaoniang's bed. Later, the central secret room of the Sandai Mountain underground palace was opened.
The second green jade lotus was found by Yu Hongdou and Tan Yanlin by accident on Yidai Mountain, and they both fell into an underground secret room.
Based on this inference, the one in the old lady's hand might also be from a peak in Wudai Mountain.
"But what's the secret?" The old lady had lived for more than a hundred years and had seen a lot, so she naturally saw the communication between Yu Hongdou and the boy named Tan.
"It's nothing serious. We just found two secret rooms on each of the two peaks of Wudai Mountain and opened them." Yu Hongdou looked around and whispered in the ear of Gu Lao Nai.
This matter has been explained to Xu Da and the others. If we really go to other peaks in the future, we might need the green jade lotus in Grandma Gu's hand, so there's nothing wrong in saying hello first.
Yu Hongdou never expected that when the old lady heard her words, she would happily tear off the green jade lotus and stuff it into her hand.
"It seems that this thing is still useful. I'll keep it for you~" The old lady looked at Yu Hongdou with kind eyes, but the movements of her hands were not gentle at all.
"No, it's just a souvenir after all. Please keep it first. If I really need it, I will come to borrow it from you." Yu Hongdou waved her hands repeatedly. What was this?
"It's too late to borrow it now. Don't think too much. My father left me so many things. This one is not a big deal." The old lady happily stuffed the green jade lotus into Yu Hongdou's hands and left him alone.
Yu Hongdou didn't know whether what Gu Laonai said was true or not, but she still accepted it, because she felt that this thing could only be used if it was in her hands.
After a few words, the banquet began. Xu Da spoke on behalf of the village and Yu Song spoke on behalf of their group. They spoke to each other and Yu Hongdou also picked up the small water cup in front of her.
There is a red drink in the cup, which is made of crushed mountain fruits, sugared and sealed. When drinking, you need to rinse it with warm water and then put it in the mountain spring to splash. It tastes sour and sweet, no worse than fruit juice.
The banquet was very grand. All kinds of delicacies from mountains and rivers, including those flying in the sky and swimming in the water, were served on the table. Yu Hongdou's favorite was a dish called stir-fried river clams with spicy sauce.
She had never eaten this thing before, but she had read that river clams tasted like tires and could not be chewed or broken.
But the spicy fried river clams on the table were different. The peppers looked like they were grown in the village, and the river clams were cut into shreds, and I don’t know how they were done, but they tasted crispy and chewy.
"This dish is called spicy fried river clams. It's my sister-in-law's specialty. It's said to be an improvement on spicy fried pork."
Taking advantage of his cousin, Cao Gu also sat at this table. Seeing his cousin eating the dish with relish, he happily took credit for it to his sister-in-law.
"It's delicious. My cousin's wife is so amazing." Yu Hongdou picked up another piece of food with chopsticks to save her face.
"By the way, fourth cousin, I haven't met my eldest and second sisters-in-law yet. I don't know who they are." Yu Hongdou swallowed the food and looked around the scene curiously, trying to find familiar faces.
"In the back, the women who help usually don't sit at the table. There's a separate table set up in the kitchen, and when they're done eating, the chef will add more food to them."
After Cao Gu finished the first sentence, he saw that the smile on his little cousin's face seemed to fade, so he quickly finished the rest of his words.
Yu Hongdou actually didn't have any other intentions. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. At this moment, she was among the family group, so even if she disagreed, she would not express it in person.
Holding someone else's bowl and saying that your family has a bad habit is not out of kindness, it is just stupid.
Yu Hongdou decided that next time when Yu Wangzhai’s people came, she would prepare gifts for all the women in the village.
It doesn't have to be a very generous gift, just a little token of your appreciation for their hard work in hosting you.
This is a later story. Because she was hungry and young, and no one forced her to drink, Yu Hongdou ate very quickly.
The moment she put down her bowl and chopsticks, she was pulled away by Grandma Gu.
The old lady insisted on taking her to see the big tree where she was born.
Yu Hongdou followed the old grandmother with amusement, with Wangwang on the left and Qian Sanmei on the right. The three of them and the dog strolled slowly towards the forest at the other end of the village.
But Yu Hongdou knew that there was someone following her.
The hollow tree where Gu Laina’s mother was buried and where Gu Laina was born was not particularly far from the village.
Yu Hongdou was a little worried whether the old lady over a hundred years old could walk such a long distance. Unexpectedly, the old lady's steps were so fast that she had to speed up to keep up with her.
Angry and amused, Yu Hongdou pulled the old lady and asked her to slow down. Anyway, they would stay here for at least three days, so they had plenty of time.
Grandma Gu gave Yu Hongdou a sidelong look and said, "I usually walk like this. How come you are so young, but your legs are worse than mine?"
Of course, it would have been better if she hadn't breathed heavily when she said this.
"The tree is there and it won't run away." Yu Hongdou helped her to the side and prepared to sit down and rest.
His eyes traveled around him, temporarily ignoring the tempting green lights, and finally he found a half-broken tree stump, where the old lady sat down to rest for a while.
After the old lady sat down, she groaned, "Hey, I really can't refuse to admit my age anymore, so I'm so anxious to show you."
She wanted to see if there was really anything strange about the tree where she was born, and she also wanted to see if the little girl in front of her was the "chosen" one.
Yu Hongdou comforted the old lady: "I'm already here, I can't run away, so this one thing doesn't matter..."
Before she finished speaking, Yu Hongdou's eyes suddenly became straight.
In the dense forest to their right front, on a small mound of earth, a thick green light was floating at her like a flag.
In the green light, under the round-head-cut-tail icon, a line of text, which was unchanged but appeared much larger, read:
