People are in Taoyuan, there are really no beasts in the mountains behind my home

Chapter 75 Digging Houttuynia cordata
Holding a hoe, Lin Bei and Xiao Mao walked on the concrete road in the village.

Passing by the second aunt's house on the way, Lin Bei spent some money and bought two old hens that laid eggs.

The second aunt heard that Lin Bei used it to entertain the staff of the Forestry Bureau, but she refused to accept the money, and finally accepted 200 yuan after Lin Bei insisted.

"Lin Bei, why are you still being polite to your aunt? Come and get the chicken later. I'll kill the chicken for you and clean it up." Second Aunt said politely.

"Then thank you, Second Aunt!! Then let's dig Houttuynia cordata first." Lin Bei thanked.

"Thank you, we are all one family. Really, my aunt doesn't like seeing outsiders like that." The second aunt cursed with a smile, and went into the yard with two hens.

These words immediately caught the attention of the audience in the live broadcast room.

"I'll go, anchor, is your second aunt enthusiastic enough?"

"Hey, she looks good too, this aunt is probably only 30 years old?"

"The figure is also good, look at that aunt's eyes when she looks at the anchor, they are different, hehe."

"You Cao thief, why are you thinking so evil!"

"Hey, who is a serious person to watch the live broadcast of the anchor?"

"There is nothing wrong with what you said! Who is a serious person watching the anchor?"

Seeing the second aunt returned to the yard, Lin Bei and Xiao Mao left the second aunt's house, continued to carry the hoe, and began to search for Houttuynia cordata all over the village.

Houttuynia cordata generally grows on field ridges and flat hillsides. They like shade and often grow near water sources.

Lin Bei took Xiao Maoman around the village, only to find some tiny houttuynia seedlings on some field ridges.

It is very small, except for the lush leaves, the root system is very small.

Obviously, these Houttuynia cordata have not grown up yet.
There is no other way, Lin Bei can only take Xiao Mao and continue to wander around the village.
"Brother Lin Bei, do you have Houttuynia cordata?"

"It's been almost an hour, why don't we dig a little on the ridge just now?" Xiao Mao muttered while carrying a hoe.

"The Houttuynia cordata on the ridge hasn't grown yet. Let's go to the secret base when I was a child. I remember that there should be a lot of Houttuynia cordata. But after so many years, I'm not sure!" Lin Bei thought After thinking about it, he muttered.

"Secret base?! Good guy, Brother Lin Bei, you still have a secret base? Then what are you waiting for, let's go!!" Xiao Mao became interested immediately after hearing this.

The two walked in along the terraced fields one after another, and soon they got into a big mountain.

A clear stream in the mountain stream flows slowly, surrounded by some deserted rice fields.

The lush weeds covered a small dirt road, and it looked like a place where no one had been for a long time.

"Xiao Mao, the place I mentioned is inside, let's go, follow!" Lin Bei pushed away these thorny thorns with a hoe, and took the lead in getting into the weeds that were as tall as a man.

The two walked for about ten minutes among the weeds, and an abandoned rice field appeared in front of them.

The ridges of these abandoned paddy fields have been washed by streams and have been filled with water, and there are still many duckweeds growing in them.

The sharp-eyed Xiaomao, seeing this scene, immediately held the hoe with some excitement and began to search around the ridge.

Lin Bei followed his memory, took off his shoes, tied up his trousers, stepped on the water, and continued walking inside
Turning over a piece of dense vegetation, a piece of Houttuynia cordata with excellent growth appeared in the mud of the field.

"Wow!!! Good guy, is this Houttuynia cordata?"

"Oh my god, this area is full of Houttuynia cordata, who planted this?"

"This whole piece is full of, look at the white and tender roots, this Houttuynia cordata is the best!!"

"It must be nice to pull it out of the muck, right? No need for a hoe!"

"Woooo! Although it's very cool to watch, I don't like to eat Houttuynia cordata."

"+1, I don't like to eat it either, but I like to watch the anchor pull these Houttuynia cordata, it feels so healing!!"

"I think Houttuynia cordata is delicious, especially the cold salad, it's delicious!!"

Xiaomao, who was wandering around the field ridge, found that Lin Bei had jumped into the abandoned rice field barefoot.

Immediately without saying a word, he rolled up his trouser legs and jumped down.

Baji baji, the sticky mud covered his knees in an instant.

However, when Xiao Mao saw the handful of white and tender Houttuynia cordata in Lin Bei's hand, an ecstatic look appeared on his face.

There is also care, is this silt.

Excitedly rushed up, aimed at a handful of Houttuynia cordata and pulled it up.
Because it grows in the mud, these Houttuynia cordata can be pulled up very smoothly.

With a little force, the white and tender root system was pulled out.

Within a few minutes, the two pulled out a basket of Houttuynia cordata.

"Xiao Mao, I think it's almost enough, it's enough."

"Take the Houttuynia cordata in the basket and go to the stream to wash it. I'll see if there are any soft-shelled turtles in the field."

"When I was young, I often came here to catch turtles. Once, I caught two." Lin Bei laughed.

"There are soft-shelled turtles in this deserted rice field? I don't believe it, Brother Lin Bei, don't think I'm a fool. I'm not stupid. It's been deserted for so long. There should be a few frogs. It's a pity that they can't be caught. They are also protecting animals. .” Xiao Mao smiled, picked up Houttuynia cordata, and walked up the field ridge.

Seeing Xiao Mao landed on the shore, Lin Bei began to use his hands to dig out the mud in the mud.
"Turtles generally like to live in this kind of mud. Whenever they take a breath, they will get out of the mud, stretch out their necks, and float to the surface."

"If we want to catch soft-shelled turtles, we can observe whether there are small holes in this abandoned rice field."

"Some small holes may be the vent holes of soft-shelled turtles, or they may be the nests of eels."

"However, there is one thing I want to tell everyone. It is the cave near the ridge and away from the water. Don't use your hands to test it. It is very likely that there are guys with tattoos hidden in it, and they live in it."

"For example, this hole is three or four inches above the water surface. It is definitely a nest for eels and soft-shelled turtles, so don't rush in! Otherwise it will be very dangerous." Lin Bei pointed to a hole that was as thick as a wrist, reminded.

Lin Bei's words aroused discussion among the audience
"There's a guy with a tattoo hidden in here?!"

"Excuse me, what kind of animal is the guy with the tattoo??"

"Don't play tricks on the anchor, I'll give you [-] cents, you reach in and feel it, and see what you can pull out!"

"Hey, people with tattoos generally have a bad temper, everyone should listen to the anchor, don't mess around with holes!!"

"Lsp upstairs, why are you saying that strangely? I suspect that you are driving, but I have no proof!"

"So here comes the question, brothers, what is this tattooed one??"

Lin Bei looked at the barrage, and it seemed that no one knew what this tattooed animal was.

So he spit on the palm of his hand twice, picked up the hoe, and started digging.

"Today I will show you what is a tattooed animal? This kind of action is very dangerous, please don't imitate it."

Lin Bei violently swung his hoe and dug up the mud at the entrance of the field ridge.

After waving seven or eight times in a row, finally, the wrist-thick hole was dug open.

This digging immediately caused the female audience in the live broadcast room to scream! ! !
"Ah!!! So many snakes!!!"

"Ahhh!! I'm most afraid of this thing, it's so long and thick!!!"

"They're still wriggling, help, anchor!!! People are scared!!"
