The days when I farmed in Liaozhai

Chapter 150 The Fort Regulations of Shenmu Castle
The old castle master sat down at the long table with his head in his hands. When he saw Chen Yuan and Fu Duoxi coming in, he straightened up and asked, "Yuan Er, you came back just in time. Do you know where Uncle Chai went? I haven't seen him all morning." .”

Chen Yuan shook his head, "My son has spent the whole morning gathering medicine in the fantasy world on the top of the mountain, and he didn't see Uncle Chai."

Chai Bo is the personal servant of the old castle lord, and Chai Bo followed the old castle lord when he was a child.In the past 100 years, except for those sleepy Taoist companions, all the old people in Shenmu Castle have died, and Chai Bo has been following the old castle owner to take pills to save his life.

Although Chai Bo is not talkative, he is the only person who can talk to the old castle owner, and he is more caring than the old castle owner's three children.The old castle owner felt uneasy when he saw Chai Bo for a while.

Fu Duoxi obediently saluted the old castle owner, then left and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.Chai Bo always prepared the old castle owner's lunch, so Fu Duoxi didn't have to worry about it, he thought about making himself a red rice jelly cake to relieve his anger.

Chen Ying walked in and said with a smile: "My good sister-in-law, I heard Uncle Chai say that you are very good at cooking and know how to eat food. My elder brother hasn't tasted food for a long time. Today you cook a delicious meal for me to enjoy. "

"When did Chai Bo tell you? I can only cook some farm dishes. I'm a peasant girl and I only know how to farm."

"Come on! I know that my elder brother took you to the top of the mountain to collect herbs. My elder brother never takes anyone to collect herbs. I want to learn how to collect herbs with my elder brother. He is not happy."

Fu Duoxi washed the red stone rice and put it in the steamer, and ignored Chen Ying's words. Anyway, he would eat whatever he wanted, and if he didn't want to eat it, he would not like her.But there is no need to flatter Chen Ying, otherwise it would be a bottomless pit, and I don't know how to change tricks to ask her.If she used the ingredients collected from all over the country in the illusion to make her a whole palace banquet, wouldn't she be asking for trouble for herself.

"Second sister, my father asked you if you saw Uncle Chai? If Uncle Chai is not here, my father will definitely not eat."

"I didn't see it. Chai Bo seemed to be busy grinding beans last night. I thought he was going to make tofu dishes for our father at noon today."

Chen Nian hurried in to say something and then ran out.Chen Ying couldn't say anything around Fu Duoxi, so she pursed her lips and went to look for her elder brother Chen Yuan.

Fu Duoxi unhurriedly took out the steamed red stone rice and poured it into the stone trough, and then dug out a handful of dried osmanthus and icing sugar from the cupboard, poured them into the stone trough together, picked up the rice pounding stick and beat it again and again.The steamed red stone rice began to burst into pulp, and the rose red rice pulp stained the stone groove red.

"Fu Duoxi, what are you doing?"

"Red rice cold cake."

Hearing Chen Yuan asking from behind, Fu Duoxi didn't stop and continued beating. At this time, the red rice cake was almost finished. After a while, it would be wrapped in a layer of soybean noodles and decorated with white sesame seeds. It was a good summer snack.

"It looks good. Chen Ying said that you can cook. Let her try this cold cake later."

Chen Ying originally complained to Chen Yuan, but Chen Yuan didn't believe that Fu Duoxi would bully Chen Ying, so he came here to take a look, but found that Fu Duoxi was so virtuous and capable that he had never heard of red rice cold cake.

"Brother, I found Chai Bo!"

Chen Nian yelled outside the door and left again, Chen Yuan hurried out.One must know that Chai Bo has never left the old castle lord for half a step, even at night he sleeps next to the old castle lord's bed, if Chai Bo hasn't seen him for most of the day, the old castle lord must be angry.

Fu Duoxi pressed the red rice cold cake and set it aside, and then lit the fire to fry the soybean noodles.The soybeans bounced and rattled in the big iron pot.

Suddenly, they heard a commotion coming from the meeting hall, and then saw Chen Yuan hurried out of the door.Fu Duoxi didn't know what happened, so Chen Ying ran in and asked her to come over.

"Chai Bo is looking for you."

Fu Duoxi thinks he is not familiar with Chai Bo, so what can Chai Bo do with her.When she walked into the meeting hall, she was frightened by the scene in front of her.

Chai Bo was lying on his side on the ground beside the long table, his white hair was scattered around his face, his face could not be seen clearly, but his hands could be seen with blood, which seemed to be wiped from the corner of his mouth.

The old castle owner sat at the long table and stared blankly at Chai Bo on the ground, while Chen Nian stood behind the old castle owner and patted the old castle owner's back lightly.

"Chai Bo, Fu Duoxi is here." After Chen Ying finished speaking, she hurriedly stepped aside.

Fu Duoxi knelt down and looked at Chai Bo's pale and bleeding face through the messy white hair, "Chai Bo, I am Fu Duoxi, what do you want me to do?"

Chai Bo is not the main focus of the old castle, is it?Fu Duoxi didn't dare to think about it, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart.

"Fu Duoxi..." Uncle Chai opened his eyes and tried to straighten his body, "The eight-treasure tofu you mentioned... I found the ingredients, you help me make a meal of eight-treasure tofu for the old castle owner..." Chai As Bo said, he suddenly leaned forward and sprayed a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, Fu Duoxi dodged away, otherwise he would have to spray all over his body.Still, there was some blood splattered on it.

Fu Duoxi looked down at the spots of blood blooming on the white clothes, like the plum blossoms blooming on the hem of the clothes in an instant.

"Chai Bo, stop talking, save your energy and wait for my brother to get the elixir."

The old castle owner might have recovered from his shock at this moment, got up and walked to Uncle Chai, bent down and held Uncle Chai's hand, "Don't move, your blood is retrograde and you can't talk much."

Tears welled up in the eyes of the old castle master, feeling the temperature in his hand was becoming cold.

Chai Bo smiled while holding the old castle owner's hand, "The old servant just wants to cook a delicious tofu dish for the old castle owner. Fu Duoxi said that the eight-treasure tofu tastes extremely tender and delicious, so he wanted to go out to find ingredients, but fortunately all were rejected. I found it..."

Chai Bo suddenly stopped talking, looking at the old castellan with his eyes, smiling at the corners of his blood-stained mouth, and slowly slipped down the hand holding the old castellan, hanging powerlessly by his side.

"Chaibo!"

The old castle owner called out in a deep voice, his eyes filled with tears, "I don't want to eat Babao tofu, why bother to break the castle rules and kill yourself!"

"That's right, father, we people in Shenmu Castle have only one dead end to go out, and only my elder brother can fly out of the range of Shenmu Castle. Uncle Chai is looking for death!"

"you shut up!"

Chen Nian saw his father staring at him with tears in his eyes, and immediately silenced, leaning against the wall and slipping out.Chen Ying helped her father to sit back in the armchair.

Fu Duoxi grabbed the cloth bag Chai Bo handed her, which contained ham, melon seeds, pine nuts and a warm pheasant...

"Father, don't be sad. Uncle Chai is getting old. Even if he doesn't leave Shenmu Castle, he won't live long. Maybe Uncle Chai wants to make you a delicious tofu meal before he leaves, and that's all he can do... Dad Just bury Uncle Chai well, and the friendship between master and servant should not be too much..."

Fu Duoxi took out the tofu slices from the water tank, chopped the pine nuts, melon seeds and ham into fine pieces, at this time the chicken soup in the big iron pot boiled, poured all the ingredients into the chicken soup and simmered over low heat...

"Chen Yuan, who made the rules of Shenmu Castle? Why don't people go out, because if they go out, they will die?"

"It's not stipulated by anyone. I still don't understand why people in Shenmu Castle will die when they go out. We can get things outside from the illusion, so there is no need to go out.

I think Chai Bo went out on purpose, maybe Chai Bo wanted to see if the castle regulations that have plagued Shenwood Castle for many years are invalid..."

"Ah, did Chai Bo die on purpose?"

Fu Duoxi almost let go of the eight-treasure tofu.
