Warm Emperor's Favorite: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 917
Feng Qi laughed: "Isn't it just planting sugar cane? Why is it such a big problem?"

The village head smiled and said: "Actually, we used to have a prescription, but we lost it later, and our rule here is that you can't leave the designated area casually. If you leave, you will be expelled from Xiaoyao Valley."

Jin Baozhen said: "What's so good here? It's not as fresh as the outside world!"

The village chief shook his head: "Then you are wrong, don't you know that it is hard to find a quiet one?"

Feng Qi nodded: "That's true, but my temper still can't stay in one place, I will suffocate to death!"

The village chief smiled and said, "We just saw through the world, and we don't want to bother anymore."

Xuanyuan Yi asked: "We have to stay for three days, is there any work for us to do?"

The village chief shook his head: "What you are asked to do is not a job, but a small task. It depends on your own ability. When the time comes, just bring something to me and exchange it for a prize!"

Feng Qi rolled her eyes, and asked tentatively: "Village chief, I wonder why the first generation of holy empresses built this Xiaoyao Valley?"

The village chief said: "The food is here, let's talk while drinking."

Feng Qi sniffed, the village chief's wine was very weak, she took out two jars of mushroom wine: "Drink this!"

The village chief's eyes suddenly brightened, and he looked like an old wine bug.

After a few cups, the village chief started talking.

"If you say that Happy Valley is not in their plan, they feel that their lives are over, and then they both walked into the imperial mausoleum, but they just woke up after a nap, it's not the end of their lives at all.

But they had already entered the imperial mausoleum, and they couldn't go out so swaggeringly, so they secretly went to the Holy Master and the Holy Maiden to build Xiaoyao Valley.

In the early days of Xiaoyao Valley, some poor people who committed capital crimes came in. Gradually, some outsiders broke in. They liked the life here and would not leave.

In short, there are many villages and towns here, but the population will not exceed one hundred.It can be said that the life here is rich and colorful, and there is always a life you want. "

Feng Qi nodded: "In this way, this place looks like a paradise!"

The village head nodded: "It can be said that, but many foreign adventurers failed to get out alive!"

Feng Qi looked sideways: "Why?"

The village chief smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not because of our tampering. Whether you can get out safely depends on your mind. A person with a good mind will naturally be safe, and a person with a bad mind will naturally go to hell!"

"Old man, what are you talking about?" The old lady came in with a small dried fish.

Feng Qi smiled and said: "The village chief is telling us that we must put our minds on the right track, otherwise we won't be able to get out."

The old lady nodded: "That's true, but we can only remind you that you can do what you want, and we won't care so much."

Jin Baozhen asked, "Auntie, how is your eldest daughter-in-law?"

"She ate millet porridge, nursed the child, and fell asleep. She never thought that she would still have milk after suffering a catastrophe. It is really a blessing from the Bodhisattva." The old lady laughed.

Jin Baozhen looked sideways: "Feng Qi saved it, not..."

Feng Qi quickly interrupted Jin Baozhen: "It's good to have milk, otherwise the two children will starve."

Jin Baozhen glared at Feng Qi, is there any benefit in not taking credit?
The village chief said: "Go and prepare, and when they are full, they will go to draw lots. Anyway, they will stay for three days. If they are idle, they will be idle. Find some small tasks for them to do!"

"Okay, eat slowly!" The old lady left with a smile.

Jin Baozhen asked, "Is the reward for small tasks good?"

The village head raised his eyebrows: "I don't know about that. For example, this gold ingot is definitely a good thing for the poor, but it's not worth mentioning for a very rich person."

Feng Qi sighed, it was luck again.

But that's okay, there are always some expectations!
After dinner, the village head had said enough, so he led everyone into the house.

There are many bottles on the table in the main room, each of which is the size of a fist, exactly the same.

"Take one at will, there are tasks in it!" The village chief sat on the chair and watched.

Feng Qi reached out and took a bottle. After opening it, the task bar was to catch fish. This task is too simple, but there are conditions for catching fish, not to catch fish not weighing more than [-] catties, and not to catch fish weighing more than [-] catties.

But the reward for catching fish is a simulated small fish toy.

The corner of Jin Baozhen's mouth twitched: "Catch fish?"

Feng Qi nodded: "That's right, let's go, staying still is staying!"

Everyone bid farewell to the village chief and came to the fish pond behind the village. It was not accurate to say that it was a fish pond, but it was formed by cutting off the river with iron nets.

"Another fish?" Jin Baozhen expressed doubts.

Xuanyuanjue took out the steamed buns from the dinner table, crushed them and threw them into the river: "Let's see!"

Not long after, some big fish came up to grab the steamed buns.

"It really is!" Jin Baozhen said.

Feng Qi took out a dried fish: "Get out of the way, I'm going to catch fish!"

Jin Baozhen nodded and stayed away from her.

Feng Qi spotted a fish and threw the hook directly, but the fish turned around and hit the hook back with its tail.

Just at this dazed effort, the fishhook was about to catch Feng Qi's nose, Xuanyuan Yi quickly pinched it with his hands.

"Ah... What a fierce fish!" Feng Qi said in admiration.

Jin Baozhen picked up a stone from the shore: "How about I knock it unconscious and you go fishing again?"

Feng Qi shook her head: "I'll try again!"

This time she threw out the hook again, luckily it caught a fish's mouth, but Feng Qi only pulled it twice and couldn't pull it anymore.

"It's so heavy, it's impossible. That fish only looks like fifty or sixty catties, so it doesn't make sense that it has such a lot of strength!" Feng Qi staggered from being pulled by the fish.

Xuanyuan Yi quickly took over: "Be careful!"

"Wow..." Jin Baozhen pointed to the water.

Feng Qi was also stunned when she looked over, the fish she hooked had one bite on its tail, and the other fish had another bite on its tail, they were working together to save the hooked fish.

Xuanyuan Yi threw a handful of stones to open the fish, and then threw the fish to the shore.

"Are these fish mature?" Jin Baozhen said.

Xuanyuan Yi shook his head: "I don't know, but it's really smart!"

The fish on the shore jumped for a while and then began to linger, Feng Qi reached out to pick it up but found that the fish was crying.

"It's crying!" Feng Qi said softly.

Xuanyuan Yi shook his head: "I heard that there is a kind of fish that is very smart and can deceive people by shedding tears."

"Really?" Feng Qi expressed doubts about Xuanyuan Yi's words.

Coincidentally, a shepherd boy came over to herd cattle, and when he saw Feng Qi caught a fish, he immediately ran over excitedly: "Big sister, you caught a fish!"

Feng Qi nodded: "Yes, but it's pitiful for Yu'er to cry."

"Sister, you have been fooled. This kind of fish is not crying, but the water in the eyes flows out on the land to keep the eyes from drying." The shepherd boy laughed.
