Chapter 113 Found a Treasure
"We have to find a way to get rid of these big worms, otherwise it will be bad for them to crawl into the ground and eat the seeds just buried." Xu Laoqi looked at the worms crawling all over the ground with a look on his face. Melancholy.

Zhou Qiangzi agreed with Xu Laoqi's words, and got up from the ground: "Yes, I will find someone to help eliminate the bugs."

Zhou Qiangzi was very mobile. After a while, he organized some villagers to come over and wiped out the bugs all over the ground with hoes.

As soon as the hoe went down, those rampant worms were instantly smashed into a black-gray lump of meat.

Seeing the villagers mobilizing their teachers so much, Xu Ruqing also stepped forward curiously to join in the fun.

Isn't this a crab?Where is the bug!
Xu Ruqing hurriedly stopped the villagers who were driving the crabs to extinction, and said, "Everyone, stop, stop!"

When Xu Laoqi heard Xu Ruqing's voice, he immediately waved to the villagers to signal them to stop.Then he asked Xu Ruqing, "Miss Xu, what's wrong?"

"Uncle Xu, you don't know something. This thing looks scary, but it is not called a worm, but a river crab. It is as edible as the fish and shrimp in the river. You killed these river crabs, it is a waste of nature! "

Xu Lao Qi only thought that Xu Ruqing was joking: "What? I heard it right, you actually said that this harmful worm can be eaten?"

"I haven't forgotten that last year it was because of this group of things that the crops in our fields failed. It is harmful to the crops and bites people. I don't believe it!"

"That's right, Mrs. Xu, stop joking."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe what she said, Xu Ruqing could only smile helplessly: "Uncle Xu, Aunt Li, I really didn't lie to you. Now, go and do your work, and I'll take care of these things."

"Ah, can you do this?" These bugs are not small, each of them is as big as a human palm, and the two pincers on the head are painful to pinch.Xu Laoqi was worried that Xu Ruqing would not be able to deal with a woman.

Xu Ruqing waved his hands indifferently: "It's just a few bugs, and they can't do anything to me. Don't worry."

After Xu Ruqing said that, they couldn't persuade her anymore, so they let her go. "Okay, Mrs. Xu, if you need help, just say a word."

Xu Ruqing smiled and said yes.

After everyone left, Xu Ruqing came to the small river. She first borrowed a bamboo basket from the villagers. Regardless of whether it was dirty or not, she rolled up her sleeves and picked up the crabs that had climbed ashore one by one. The kung fu bamboo basket was filled.

Xu Ruqing roughly counted the number of people in his mind. Although the bamboo basket is not small, each Bailaiheren must eat at least two, that is, two hundred or so crabs are enough to eat, so the number of crabs is still small.

Seeing that the crabs in the river are almost picked up, I don't know if there are any other places that have escaped.Xu Ruqing found a piece of wood to cover the bamboo basket, so that the crabs in it would not slip out while she was away.

Finding a safe place to put the bamboo basket, she patted the dirt on her hands, then bent down to observe carefully, and sure enough, she saw holes of various sizes in the ground.Xu Ruqing was overjoyed, and followed these marks all the way down, and finally she stood in front of a bush.

It seemed that this place had been deserted for a long time, otherwise the bushes would not have grown so tall, reaching up to Xu Ruqing's chest!There are no traces of people walking on the ground, and it can be seen that there are few people here.

She pushed the plants away with her hands, and walked in layer by layer.When she pushed the last layer away, she froze there.

Behind the clusters of vegetation is a natural pond shining with silvery white light.The pond was so large that it couldn't see the end at a glance. It was in an irregular shape, surrounded by layers of greenery, and a thin white mist slowly rose from the pond.

The most important thing is that there are plump crabs surging in it, and under the emerald green water, it seems that crabs can still be seen swimming.Only then did Xu Ruqing know that the crabs in the river did not grow in the river, but crawled out from here.

Isn't this a natural breeding base? !
Xu Ruqing's eyes lit up, it seemed that he really found a treasure.

With wild crab larvae in it, she didn't even have to think about what to keep in it.Xu Ruqing's brain flashed, and he suddenly had an idea.

People in this era don't have a complete understanding of crabs. If they seize the opportunity, expand the breeding area, and then promote this delicacy... maybe in the near future, this will become a source of considerable wealth!

Without further delay, she went into the water and touched the basket again. When she came back, she saw that the left shoulder and the right shoulder were both empty, and they were carrying a bamboo basket full of them.

"Aunt Wu, you're at home!"

Xu Ruqing came to the entrance of Dajing Village, and as soon as she entered, she saw Aunt Wu washing clothes in front of the mud house.

When Aunt Wu heard the voice, her stooped back slowly straightened up, and she raised her head hesitantly. "Miss Xu...how did you come here?"

Xu Ruqing said with a smile: "I picked up some good things, and I want to borrow them for your kitchen. Auntie, would you like to lend them to me?"

Only then did Aunt Wu notice that Xu Ruqing's shoulders were full of backpacks, and she didn't know what was in them.

She thought that Xu Ruqing was causing trouble for her because of the sale of the land, and when she learned that she was here to borrow the kitchen, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course I do, as long as Mrs. Xu, you don't dislike my little pot stove." Dirty, just use it!"

Xu Ruqing just responded with a smile: "Aunt Wu, you said that! Then I went in?"

"Go, go, I need help."

"it is good."

When Xu Ruqing came to the kitchen, it was okay if he didn't look at it, but when he saw it, his eyes were full of shock.

Just now she thought that what Aunt Wu said was just polite words, but she didn't expect that it was exactly what Aunt Wu said. Not only was the field small, but there were also a lot of miscellaneous things in it, such as dry firewood, plow poles, and hoes for working... ...These things were packed into a small space, and there was almost no place for Xu Ruqing to set foot.

It is said to be a kitchen, but in fact it is just a simple shelter covered with thatch. A broken curtain hanging on the top is the "door" of the kitchen. The walls on all sides are made of yellow mud. There were cracks, as if with a slight push, this small space would collapse into ruins.

Xu Ruqing put down the pannier, managed to find an open space and stepped in, she touched it casually with her hands, her white fingers were already dark when she lifted them up.The pots and stoves were also dusty and looked like they hadn't been used in a long time.
