Fertile land

Chapter 75

The gold texture is so soft when bitten in the mouth, and the rim of the bowl has left a few neat teeth marks on it...

It proves that it is pure gold.

Luo Zhi'er held up the golden bowl and shined it in the sun, haha!She must be really lucky!
"Mother, mother!"

"Well! What's wrong? Miaomiao?"

She was still imagining her big house, big shop, and luxurious carriage, when Miaomiao's shout came back to her senses.

"This yellow bowl is so beautiful. Mother, do you want to pick it up and use it yourself?"

The bowl at home was broken and the corners were missing... But Luo Zhi'er could roughly imagine the situation when Zhou and the others saw this bowl.

Have a meal?

Impossible!

The family is going to be beaten to pieces and robbed to pieces!
Maybe even kill someone!In order to avoid money cramps, she was skinned...

"Uh... Miaomiao, this bowl can't be used for eating, it's a golden bowl!"

"Golden bowl?"

"Miaomiao, mother wants to discuss something with you. You must not tell anyone about the golden bowl that mother just dug up."

"This includes everyone in the family..."

"Daddy can't do it either?"

Miaomiao looked at her doubtfully with a pair of transparent eyes.

"Dad's place... Mother will naturally find a time to tell him!"

"Okay, Miaomiao knows, mother!"

"Remember, otherwise, it may cause death!"

"What is a fatal disaster?"

"My mother may lose her life because of this bowl. Will Miao Miao lose her mother?"

Miaomiao was startled and hugged her neck tighter, "No, no, mother don't want to die, Miaomiao don't let mother leave Miaomiao."

Luo Zhi'er comforted her: "No, as long as you don't tell me, I won't. Mother will definitely help you live a good life!"

"Understood, mother!"

Luo Zhi'er wasn't trying to scare her, it was a fact. She was worried that Miao Miao was young and would speak uncontrollably and without restraint.

Her unintentional mistake may lead to catastrophe. There are so many people in the village and human nature is complex, so it is better to get vaccinated in advance!

Let her know the reality!

He hid the golden bowl in his arms and looked around nervously. There was no one around except the two of them...

Tried digging in the surrounding soil...

Nothing was dug up this time, and nothing suspicious could be seen.

She dug into the soil with her hand and found that it was dozens of centimeters deep. Her body was covered with locusts, and so was Miao Miao!

Her legs were sore and she couldn't stand still, so she dug a new hole in the soil for her feet, grabbed the branches, and climbed up...

She went up and quickly patted the locusts off Miao Miao's body. There was one on her hand that was sucking blood so deeply that she couldn't even pat it down...

Miaomiao is very strong.

I didn’t cry when I watched her filming, she just looked disgusting.

The sucker on the locust's mouth dug tenaciously into the flesh, and she remembered that she had salt in her basket that she planned to use for food!

He quickly took it out and sprinkled it on her. Sure enough, the thing felt the pain, curled up and fell to the ground.

She took off her clothes and shook herself. There were a bunch of squirming locusts on the ground!

Seeing that there were no leech on him, he put the basket on his back, picked up Miaomiao and walked out of the leech forest!

I thought to myself, how strange this place is!
In these barren mountains and ridges, where did the golden bowl come from?

Where do locusts come from?

This golden bowl happened to be buried in the soil of this terrible Locust ditch?

If it were just a golden bowl, there would be no need to surround the valley with locusts...

Last time, the stranger who was called "Master" came to the mountains in bright clothes...just to get bear bile?
All these suspicious things flashed through her mind...

Soon, the mother-in-law left the forest, returned the same way, climbed up the hillside, and picked up some gallinobacteria along the way.

After eating something, it was already sunset when we got home.

When I got home, I wondered if Li Sanmao and the others would come back, and Mrs. Zhou was also missing!
Little Zhou's house is also quiet, she must have gone to work in the fields!

Just in time, Luo Zhi'er didn't rest, so he went into the house, closed the door tightly, and found a place to hide the golden bowl!
I looked around and couldn't find any place. I felt like no one was safe anywhere in this house!Finally, I saw a wooden box with a copper lock under the bed. It was left by Old Man Luo for Luo Zhi'er and was locked!
There must be a key to the lock, but where is the key?

She remembered it in her mind, oh, her memory...

It was hung around her neck at first, but then the rope accidentally broke and she seemed to have found a place to put it...

Where to put it?He patted his head, wrapped it in a piece of linen cloth, and placed it... on...

She knew it, and it was placed inside the pillow.

She quickly ran over and picked up the pillow she had used to hit Li Sanmao that day on the bed.

I reached in and took it out...

Sure enough, I took out a piece of linen with silk thread wrapped around it. After opening it, I found a small classical copper key inside.

Luo Zhi'er moved out the wooden box and opened it with the key. There was a pile of books on top and some of her little daughter's jewelry below. They didn't look very valuable...

Just as I was about to scroll down, there was a sudden sound outside.

Luo Zhi'er quickly put the golden bowl in and locked the lock again!
Push under the bed...

"Miaomiao, are you at home alone?"

"Where's your mother?"

"Mom, your clothes are dirty. Please change them in the house!"

"Grandma Zhao, please sit down. Do you have anything to do with mother?"

Miaomiao is in the yard, sitting on a small stool and picking fungi!
Miaomiao stood up and offered her a small stool to sit on.

"Haha, Miao Miao, be good. Grandma won't sit down. Grandma, come and ask your mother to thread an needle for grandma..."

"Oh, then Grandma Zhao, wait a moment!"

Miaomiao was about to turn around and call her, when Luo Zhi'er came out.

"Ms. Zhao, what are you doing threading a needle?"

Luo Zhi'er looked like his usual naive self.

"I need to put on a pair of shoe soles. It's okay during the day, but my eyes won't heal in the afternoon. I still have a little bit of it, so I just want to finish it and ask you to help me thread it..."

Luo Zhi'er hurried over, took the needle and thread, and threaded it in a moment.

Grandma Zhao looked grateful and cheerful, smiling so hard that she couldn't even see her teeth. She even slipped a small bag of things for her.

"Sanmao's wife, this is a steamed bun made by me. Don't dislike it because it has cornmeal on the outside and adzuki bean filling on the inside..."

Luo Zhi'er thought she was carrying the soles of her shoes, "Oh, Mrs. Zhao, you are so polite, why are you still sending me cornbread..."

"Haha, I, an old woman, couldn't finish the food at home, so I packed some for Miao Miao. Seeing her is like seeing my own granddaughter. You and the Sanmao couple are good friends, so hurry up and accept it. It looks ugly! "

Her eyes were looking around, as if she was afraid that others would see her and tell her to take it back quickly!
"Hey!"

Luo Zhi'er knew that Aunt Zhao was thanking her for helping her carry water that day, so it would be bad if she didn't pick it up, "Then I'll catch it!"

Aunt Zhao sat for a while and then left, saying she was going back to do some shoe soles.

She dumped the remaining fungi in her basket on the ground outside the yard, squatted down and picked them.

Divide the fungi into categories and dry them in a bamboo sieve.

Pick up the soil, weeds, and leaves on the gallinomas!
I found a scale and weighed it, 23 kilograms. Then I took it to the river to wash it and tear it into strips.

While washing, I also met a woman from the village who came to the river to wash and wash vegetables. I watched her washing this but didn't take it seriously.

Miaomiao followed her, rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs in the river, and played in the water for a while.

After washing myself and the chickweed, I went back and saw little Zhou coming out of the house and going to the toilet...

Seeing her face a little gloomy when she came back, he went back to her bedroom.

She was thinking, was she hiding the golden bowl in the house just now?

Was she there when Aunt Zhao came?

Without thinking about anything else, she went to the kitchen and took a look. The stove was still warm. She guessed that Mr. Zhou had made food, otherwise what would she have eaten?

Opening the bowl, it turned out to be filled with polenta paste and shredded radish pickled in salt.

She didn't eat anyway, so she washed the pot and started boiling chicken and fungus oil. Although Lao Li's family was frugal and stingy, there was no shortage of animal oil...

There was an earthen step against the wall in the kitchen, and there were a row of earthen clay pots, almost all of which were animal fat!

Mrs. Zhou was the only one who didn't put this in her bedroom. She brought a jar over.

It took more than an hour to simmer this fir fungus oil, and she started refining it non-stop!
