Sign in and get rich in farming

Yu Hongdou looked at the small mound that the two older brothers were pointing at, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Only one meter away from the roadside, an ordinary little mound of earth stood there quietly.

I learned from the old grandmother in front that the villagers don’t erect tombstones after their death, and some are buried in the heart of trees, but isn’t the grave in front of me a bit too simple?

"This is an uncle of our clan who was buried when we first moved here. In the past two years, the village has gradually expanded outward, and many lonely graves have been moved to the east. This ancestor has no descendants, so we just wanted to move him to the Cao family graveyard."

The elder brother explained this sentence as a promise to Yu Song and the others, as well as to Gufen.

Yu Hongdou understood that this could be considered a kind of respect and compensation for the ancestors.

Digging up graves and opening coffins is for verification and is also necessary for moving graves.

Seeing that Yu Song and the others had no objections, the dark-skinned eldest brother took out three incense sticks from the bamboo basket he was carrying, and led his younger brother to kneel in front of the lonely grave.

Yu Song pulled his sister and Tan Yanlin back together.

After watching the two brothers kneel and pray devoutly, he started digging the grave himself.

It was difficult for outsiders like them to help with this kind of thing, so they could only stand on the side of the road and wait.

Yu Hongdou stared at the green beam of light on the grave mound without blinking, and she had already made some certainty about the purpose of this trip.

The coffin of an ancestor of the Cao family, which had been lying on the roadside for an unknown period of time, was soon dug out.

After being buried in dust for so many years, the coffin is still well preserved except for a slight crack.

This made Yu Hongdou somewhat nervous. She was afraid that there might be another undecayed corpse inside, which would not only scare people to death but also be extremely disrespectful.

"Hongdou, turn around first." Seeing that the coffin was about to be opened, Yu Song covered his sister's eyes and turned her back.

Yu Hongdou did not object. She did not really want to face such a scene directly, and she was also thinking about another thing in her mind.

If there really is an energy stone in the coffin, and she signs this in broad daylight, will the energy stone in the coffin disappear?

For a long time, the sign-in system has given her the feeling that it is a way of fleecing. In some places, after the fleecing is completed, the sign-in location will disappear.

Yu Hongdou felt that the energy of the energy stones in the golden box had most likely been sucked out by her.

However, Yu Hongdou would definitely not take this risk. In fact, she felt that the system's move of cutting off the source of the problem was a good one. At least the people in Cigou Village would not have to dig up every grave one by one.

"It's true!" Just as she was daydreaming, she suddenly heard someone shout in surprise.

Yu Hongdou turned her head quickly and saw the scene in the coffin. Her eyes widened in surprise.

In the intact coffin, a light golden skeleton was displayed intactly inside the coffin, and in the flickering firelight, it was shining with brilliant light.

Yu Hongdou blinked, and then she realized that the precious light did not come from the golden skeleton, but from the protruding crystals on the skeleton.

"This is..." The two older cousins ​​stared at the coffin in disbelief.

"Energy stone." Yu Hongdou announced this name for the first time.

"Like water, like jade, with crystal... So this is it." Yu Song also found it unbelievable. Is this really a human skeleton? Isn't it carved from some mineral?

If it was really made of a human skeleton, then... Yu Song shifted his gaze to the two members of the Cao family present and shuddered unconsciously.

"As good as water and jade, with crystal?! Big brother!" The fair-skinned cousin was startled when he heard Yu Song's words and grabbed the black cousin.

"We have to tell the village chief about this!" Brother Hei also reacted, shuddered, stood up straight, and looked at Yu Song with a stern look.

"Let's do it tomorrow. Don't bother him today." Tan Yanlin was the calmest person present.

"That's right. The village chief and the others drank too much today. If they are yelled at now, they will probably be confused. Let them have a good rest. I will go with you to talk to them early tomorrow morning." Yu Song nodded, agreeing with Tan Yanlin's suggestion.

Since you are so happy tonight, please don't announce such depressing news.

Yu Hongdou agreed with this. When the falling star landed, all the villagers were there, but the ones who later turned into golden blood were the Cao family and a small number of other people. It was obvious that there must be something fishy going on.

I don’t know whether the energy stone hidden in the tomb has been used by anyone over the years.

Yu Hongdou turned her head and looked into the depths of the woods. Only the ancestors of the Xu family and the Gu family, who had led everyone to move here, knew some clues to these issues.

In order to keep the coffin in its original state, the two older cousins ​​simply covered it with the cloth that was originally intended to hold the corpse, and then carried the coffin back to the village.

On the way back, everyone was silent. Yu Hongdou looked at the bright silver plate in the sky and thought silently.

Yu Song went to the ancestral hall with his two cousins. They did not plan to sleep tonight and wanted to wait until dawn when the village chief and several elderly people sobered up and report the situation as soon as possible.

The two brothers of the Cao family did not have much contact with the Yu family. When they heard Yu Song talk about wanting to see the remains of their ancestors to verify the mystery of the Cao family's golden bloodline, they felt unwilling and absurd.

But the village chief and their fathers treated the Yu family as honored guests, so they couldn't refuse and decided to take this trip.

They never thought that such a ridiculous idea would actually be verified before their eyes.

And listening to the way the little girl from the Yu family called them, it was obvious that they knew more things that the village chief, the Cao family, and even the Cigou Village did not know.

They urgently needed to calm down the shock and horror in their hearts.

Yu Hongdou and Tan Yanlin returned to their aunt's house together. They did not go into the yard immediately, but stood in the yard and admired the silver plate in the sky for a while.

"What do you think the person who caused all this was trying to achieve?" Yu Hongdou's firm words received a meaningful glance from Tan Yanlin.

"I don't know. The predecessors didn't know the affairs of the later generations, so how can the later generations fully understand what the predecessors were thinking." Tan Yanlin shook his head honestly.

He thought the same as Yu Hongdou, that the Cao family's golden blood must have been obtained deliberately by someone.

But why did that person do that? They, the descendants hundreds of years later, have no way of knowing the real truth.

"You said..." Yu Hongdou hesitated and looked at the house in the distance where lights were faintly visible.

"Ancient tree?" Tan Yanlin's heart moved. He looked in the direction her gaze was directed and he immediately understood.

Yu Hongdou nodded slightly, a vague hope rising in her heart. She wondered if the energy stone could once again activate the "healing" power of the ancient tree, thereby alleviating and healing the decline caused by the golden blood?

"We can give it a try." The Cao family has nothing to lose anymore. If it is really possible, using the lost lifespan of their ancestors to save their children and grandchildren, they will probably not object.

Yu Hongdou was hesitant about whether to tell the village chief about this matter.

She was a little scared, afraid that she would not be able to control the situation, and afraid that someone would deliberately let others die in order to survive.

However, Tan Yanlin felt that she was worrying too much. They only provided ideas. Whether it would work, whether it could be done, or whether it would be necessary in the end were none of their business.

Yu Hongdou sighed, if only it were that simple, especially since she had the energy stone she had signed in for.

If the ancient tree could really heal the Cao family by converting energy, she would have to take out the energy stone in her hand to save them.

But Yu Hongdou always felt that the energy stone played a huge role in her hands, and this was where she was conflicted.

Yu Hongdou did not tell anyone about this trouble. Tan Yanlin could see that she had other thoughts and knew that this involved her secret again, so he did not ask any more questions and just told her to go to bed first.

"Some things should be left to them to choose for themselves, and some things, you just have to make the decision yourself." Tan Yanlin raised his hand and picked up the hood of Yu Hongdou's cloak and put it on her.

Yu Hongdou's eyes suddenly went dark. She stretched out her hands and grabbed in the air twice. Qian Sanmei, who was trying to hold back her laughter, helped her into the house.

Yu Hongdou, who originally thought she would suffer from insomnia that night, fell asleep as soon as she got into bed after washing up.

All night long until dawn, when I opened my eyes, the aroma of food was already wafting through the window to my nose.

"Miss, you're awake. My aunt's family has a special porridge that looks delicious. You should get up and try it. If it's delicious, I will learn how to make it for you when I get home." Qian Sanmei walked in with water and was a little excited to see Yu Hongdou open her eyes.

"What time is it?" Yu Hongdou sat up in confusion. Did she sleep until noon?

"At the hour of Mao." Qian Sanmei replied to the young lady, and then added: "The young master asked Changhe to come back and say that they will go to another place to have a look, and will come back later to ask the young lady to go with them."

When Yu Hongdou heard this, she immediately became alert, knowing that Xu Da must have asked someone to go to another grave to verify it.

She also wanted to know the answer, so she quickly got up, washed, and walked out of the room.

"Hongdou, get up. Today we have your second sister-in-law's specialty porridge. I guarantee that three bowls will not be enough for you." The eldest cousin's wife smiled and brought a plate of red pickles, calling the younger cousin to eat quickly.

Yu Hongdou couldn't wait to go out, but she knew that she couldn't go without breakfast, so she followed her cousin's wife to the dining table.

Farmers are not that particular. Basically, the whole family eats at the same table. Unless there are too many people and one table can't accommodate them all, they will not easily separate the tables.

However, since Tan Yanlin and his group were of high status and there were many of them, they were given a separate table and were hosted by Cao Mai.

As soon as Yu Hongdou came in, she was stared at. Tan Yanlin held the bowl and gestured to her: "This porridge is really delicious."

When Qian Sanmei praised the porridge, Yu Hongdou didn't feel much, but Tan Yanlin's action aroused her appetite.

The Tan family members who were guarding the emperor had eaten all kinds of delicacies, but now they couldn't wait to recommend a bowl of porridge to her. How could Yu Hongdou not be curious?

When she sat down at the table, she saw a casserole in the middle of the table. The lid of the casserole was opened in her sight, and the colorful porridge that was still rolling slightly caught her eye.

Yu Hongdou was somewhat disappointed. It was just a pot of vegetable porridge.

But when she really put the porridge into her mouth, she was instantly conquered.

What a delicious delicacy this is!

The delicate rice grains are perfectly blended with the fragrance of vegetables, and the porridge is cooked to just the right temperature so that it melts in the mouth. A bowl of porridge directly brings people incomparable warmth and satisfaction.

"Delicious, right?! Haha, your second sister-in-law just got married and cooked this porridge the next day. I was thinking at that time, if I were a man, I would just marry your second sister-in-law and bring her home so that we can eat porridge every day."

My cousin's wife looked so proud that it seemed as if the porridge came from her own hand.

Yu Hongdou didn't have time to talk and nodded repeatedly. It was really delicious. She tasted that the greens in the porridge should be some wild vegetables, and there were also chopped mushrooms. These two things should be the key to enhancing the flavor.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Yu Hongdou finally had time to ask her second cousin's wife about the ingredients in the porridge.

Qian Sanmei was standing nearby and taking it seriously, even interrupting the conversation twice to ask about the fire and the utensils.

Tan Yanlin beside him was also taking notes seriously. Yu Hongdou thought that he could still come to Cigou Village to play for a few days. It would not be easy for him to eat this porridge again.

"No wonder it tastes so good, they actually put chopped nuts in it." Yu Hongdou didn't expect this bowl of porridge to be so exquisite, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to her second cousin's wife.

No one could have imagined that this bowl of porridge would play such a big role later.

After dinner, Yu Hongdou and Tan Yanlin went to the ancestral hall together.

As soon as she entered the door, Yu Hongdou was shocked by the scene. In the main courtyard of the huge ancestral hall, there was a simple cloth tent, under which, a row of coffins were neatly placed.

Judging from the condition of the coffins, these should be people buried at different times. The paint on the most recent one has not fallen off yet, and there is still a faint smell.

Yu Hongdou didn't look at Xu Da and several old men with gloomy faces who were sitting at the top, but instead fixed her eyes on the coffin.

Green beams of light, along with the neatly arranged coffins, looked like railings that were originally nailed into the yard.

[Sign-in location: Cao Kun, the fourth generation of the Cao family in Cigou Village. Do you want to sign in at 5 points? ]

[Sign-in location: Cao Ting, the fifth-generation elder of the Cao family in Cigou Village. Do you want to sign in at 5 points? ]

……

Generation after generation of the Cao family greeted Yu Hongdou in this alternative way, which shocked Yu Hongdou and made her feel sad.

None of these people lived past fifty.

"Hongdou girl..." Xu Da's voice and face seemed to age in an instant.

As one of the smartest and most knowledgeable people in the village, how could he not have thought of what Yu Hongdou and Tan Yanlin had thought of?

Only members of the Cao family and a very small number of outsiders in the village became golden blood, and all of these aliens were close to the Cao family. There must be something strange about this.

The biggest possibility is human error.

The Cao family's golden blood is not something that has been passed down from one generation to two, and there are only a handful of people who can achieve this level.

"Uncle Xu, don't be sad. There is something else that I just thought of last night." Yu Hongdou really couldn't bear to see the old man cry. In a hurry, she threw away last night's hesitation in an instant.

"What?" Xu Da was a little slow to react, and it was another unfamiliar old man behind him who asked the question.

Yu Hongdou looked around and found that the old man surnamed Guo and the old man surnamed Shang whom she had met last night were not there.

"Everyone here is from the Cao family, so you can just speak your mind, little girl." The other old man behind Xu Da probably saw Yu Hongdou's concerns and made a loud reassurance.

"It's this energy stone, or this crystal..." Yu Hongdou whispered what she and Tan Yanlin had thought about last night.

Yu Hongdou felt that there must be something hidden behind that ancient tree. This was a good opportunity to test the effectiveness of the energy stone and find out what was going on.

This exploration actually uncovered a secret that had been hidden for hundreds of years.
