Farmhouse Small God Bowl

Chapter 88
Although Zhou Xiaobai felt that it was unreliable to ask the fairy aunt to have a son or something, he finally said nothing, "Then aunt, you should go earlier, this fairy aunt sees about ten people every day."

What a big show!It seems that this fairy girl is really different from ordinary ones, Zhou Xifeng thought about whether to bring some tribute to fairy girl, "Xiaobai, what should they bring to honor fairy girl every time?"

This questioned Zhou Xiaobai. Although she didn't believe this blind woman from the bottom of her heart, she didn't ask for any incense money when she saw her usual visits. Why?It doesn't make any sense, "I don't know, I only know that Grandpa and Chen Mo didn't bring it when they went."

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes turned white, this is not acceptable, although Xiangu doesn't want it, but he always wants it.

When Zhou Xiaobai returned home, Chen Mo saw the new clothes she had brought back, jumped up and snatched the clothes from Zhou Xiaobai's arms, and was about to try them on.Zhou Xiaobai covered his mouth and smiled. He usually looked at Chen Mo as a mature young man, but now he has half a youthful disposition.

"Hey, Chen Mo, it's hot today. The clothes are so thick, you still have to wear them!" Zhou Xiaobai chased after him, fearing that Chen Mo would be too hot.

Chen Mo grabbed his clothes and didn't let go, "Give it to me, I'm going to try it." But Zhou Xiaobai could only let go, telling him to toss about.

It's not the fault of Chen Mo, it's because he has never worn new clothes.The previous ones were all rags worn by other families that could no longer be worn, and then mended them casually, and just wore them on the body.This is still his first new dress, so it can't be novel.

Seeing Chen Mo's happy face, Zhou Xiaobai suddenly felt sad.I was really careless. Although I made winter clothes, the gowns I have now are already worn out. My family is not short of the money, so I should buy two more. I made up my mind to go to town tomorrow. Go buy two bolts of cloth, and ask my aunt to make some more for myself.

While the two were laughing, no one noticed that Zhou Gensheng sneaked out by himself.There is really nothing to say about Dagu's craftsmanship.Zhou Xiaobai couldn't stand the ink stains of Chen Mo, so he also put on new clothes.

Although it is cotton clothes, the color is not too bright, but they are new clothes after all, Zhou Xiaobai is really different once he wears them, the waist is the waist, and the legs are the legs.The aunt also skillfully embroidered some patterns on the chest and collar, which made it look more lively and lovely.

Chen Mo looked at it for a long time, was stunned, and then said, "Sister, you look really good in your clothes."

Being praised for being beautiful, Zhou Xiaobai's face was also very happy, and the clothes on his body didn't feel hot anymore. He walked around the room a few times, but unfortunately there was no mirror.If you look at yourself, you can only go to the river, and you will definitely be laughed to death, so you can only give up.

After the two finished trying on the clothes, they folded them up carefully, and were about to ask grandpa to try the fit, but found out why grandpa disappeared?
The sky has gradually darkened, where will grandpa go?Zhou Xiaobai searched around in front of and behind the house, but still couldn't find anyone, so the two hurried to go.

"Will grandpa go up the mountain?" Chen Mo suddenly asked as his family leaned against the mountain.It is difficult to walk on the mountain at night, and there is no idea what there is, so people in the village always come out before the sun goes down.If grandpa went to the mountain at this time, it would be really troublesome.

But Zhou Xiaobai thought about it again, that's not right, grandpa has never been to the mountains before, and he didn't even know the way, so he probably wouldn't go to the mountains, so he hurriedly comforted Chen Mo.

Thinking quickly in my head, where will grandpa go?It was getting dark, so it would definitely be impossible to search around like this.Suddenly there was a flash of lightning in his head, "Chen Mo, do you think Grandpa will go to see the blind-eyed woman again?"

This time Chen Mo didn't bother to entangle Zhou Xiaobai's words, and he thought the same way. He didn't see any movement of his grandfather at home these few days, but he felt that according to his temperament, he might have gone there.Holding Zhou Xiaobai, he quickly ran to the ancestral hall.

Before I got to the ancestral hall, I saw my grandfather, walking slowly on the road with his head downcast.Zhou Xiaobai and Chen Mo held Grandpa back, "Grandpa, you are so serious, you didn't say anything when you came out. It's getting dark, and Chen Mo and I are worried."

Zhou Gensheng was depressed with his head down, he finally found time to look for Xiangu just now.Anyway, I finally got to meet Xiangu, but no matter what he said, Xiangu refused to accept him as an apprentice.Hearing Zhou Xiaobai's complaint, he snorted, "If you tell me, you will call me out."

Zhou Gensheng felt that since he came out of the prison, Zhou Xiaobai and Chen Mo had offered themselves as if they were tofu, even more children than children.This is not allowed and that is not allowed, I feel very suffocated, but I know that they are also worried about me, so I can't say anything.

Zhou Xiaobai also chuckled, that's right, if he knew that he came out to apprentice, he would naturally not allow it, even if he was tied, he would have to be tied here.

Chen Mo hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Grandpa, I'm hungry, let's go back to eat quickly. The clothes that my aunt made for us are brought back. Grandpa, hurry up and try to fit him."

It's getting dark today, Zhou Xiaobai reckoned that the few acres of wheat should not be finished yet, thinking that Wang Dazhuang and the others are of good character, so they won't be lazy and don't want to go to see it.

Zhou Xiaobai, Chen Mo, and Grandpa were all too tired to harvest wheat these days, they were all busy, so they just ate dinner casually.Zhou Xiaobai went to Zhuangzi's mother's house first and said that he would be busy with the pond, so he probably couldn't take care of the threshing ground here.Send some eggs and tell Zhuangziniang to cook, don't be stingy.

Farmers are simple and honest, you respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot, so, Zhou Xiaobai has always been very generous in these things.If they are generous, they will work harder.Hearing that Zhou Xiaobai had something to do, Zhuang Ziniang naturally told her to focus on her own business.Zhou Xiaobai thought that the wheat would be enough, so he was busy planting seedlings in the pond, but it only took a day or two, and it was almost time to pay the bill when it was over.

As for the matter of the mountain spring, fortunately Zhou Xiaobai had already discussed with shopkeeper Yan that he would come to pick up the water once a week, otherwise he was so busy now that he really didn't have the time to do these things every day.

After beating his sore legs and his eyes that could hardly be opened, Zhou Xiaobai returned home and washed himself casually, then lay down.But he finally remembered to tell Chen Mo that he would get up early tomorrow and go catch fish with her.

Hearing that it was catching fish, Chen Mo was very excited. Although it was not the first time to go to the forbidden area, this time it was to catch fish.He tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep because of excitement. Early in the morning, when it was still dark, he called Zhou Xiaobai up.

Zhou Xiaobai was still rubbing his sleepy eyes, it was too early for Chen Mo.But if he went back to sleep, he probably wouldn't be able to fall back asleep, so Zhou Xiaobai simply got up, went to the kitchen and washed his face with cold water to wake himself up, picked up the cloth bag, and told Chen Mo to hold a jar by himself, and planned to go up the mountain.

It was the first time to go out at such an early hour, and the sky was still dark. Although Zhou Xiaobai had walked this mountain road several times, he was still a little worried. What should he do if he accidentally tripped over any potholes?
Although there is an oil lamp at home, it is not only expensive, but both of them are holding things in their hands, which is inconvenient to hold.Zhou Xiaobai thought about it and decided to forget it.I simply went to the kitchen and took a flint and made a simple torch to carry with me.

I went up the mountain in the dark. Fortunately, my grandfather didn't know about it, or I definitely wouldn't agree.Zhou Xiaobai was full of caution, but Chen Mo was eager to try, very excited.

Although the torch was lit, Zhou Xiaobai was still a little scared, but he wanted to act like a sister again, so he had to muster up the courage to go up the mountain.Fortunately, I have been here a few times before, and finally I will not go too far.

During the day, I can still look at the surrounding scenery to pass the time. Now it is pitch black, and a small wind blows from time to time, and the branches make a "rustling" sound. Zhou Xiaobai only feels that his feet are soft.I regret it so much, I should have come out later.

At the beginning, Chen Mo was still full of excitement and novelty, but after walking for a few minutes, he also felt a little strenuous.The front section is not bad, because there are many people going up the mountain, the road has already been stepped on, but it will not be long before we will go around to the forbidden hot spring area.

No one walks on the mountain road over there, so there is no road at all, and the branches are also sprawling. They not only have to pay attention to their feet, but also pay attention to their side from time to time when walking on the road, so don't mention too much effort when walking.Fortunately, Zhou Xiaobai also got a torch, otherwise there would be no way to go up the mountain.

Zhou Xiaobai kept talking to Chen Mo, trying to dispel the fear in his heart, when he suddenly heard a strange "squeak" sound beside him.

"Shhh." Zhou Xiaobai stopped talking, listening attentively to where the sound was coming from, but as soon as she stopped, the strange sound suddenly disappeared. "Chen Mo, did you hear anything just now?"

Chen Mo shook his head, "There's nothing, just the sound of the wind blowing, and the sound of you talking!"

Zhou Xiaobai blinked, put down the jar and rubbed his forehead, wondering if I heard it wrong?Maybe it was because I was too nervous to hear the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.But as soon as he picked up the earthen jar and walked not far, Zhou Xiaobai heard that strange sound again.

Even Chen Mo heard it this time, could it be a ghost? "Sister, there must be ghosts?" Chen Mo shrank behind Zhou Xiaobai in fright.

Zhou Xiaobai swallowed, "We must have heard it wrong." He tried his best to calm himself down and not panic.

"Sister, it's Ghost Festival today, will it be..." Chen Mo suddenly raised his voice and called out, holding the rest of the words in his mouth without daring to say them.

What, when Chen Mo said this, Zhou Xiaobai also remembered the date, this July [-]th, which is Ghost Festival, his calves started shaking, and he regretted why he chose such a date to come out.But he still kept saying, "Children, don't talk nonsense. What ghost festival is not ghost festival? It's the Ghost Festival. Besides, we haven't done anything wrong, so we're not afraid."

Zhou Xiaobai's voice raised a lot, as if comforting Chen Mo and himself.Chen Mo tugged at her sleeve, "Sister, let's hurry up and get on the road."

The strange "squeak" sound around him became more and more obvious, and Zhou Xiaobai's hand holding the torch was almost sweating.The two were trembling, not daring to stop, and ran forward quickly, almost in a panic.

Stumbling along the way carefully, the two reached the edge of the hot spring smoothly.After the two checked, although there was no serious injury, the branches had cut a lot of blood on the body and hands. After a little treatment, they began to prepare.

At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and the surrounding voices gradually disappeared, and the two of them were not so afraid anymore.Zhou Xiaobai told Chen Mo not to tell his grandfather about this, or they would definitely not be allowed to come later.

Zhou Xiaobai still went to the place last time, pulled some bamboos, and told Chen Mo what to do. The two moved together, and it was really a lot faster.This time I was much more prepared than when I came here before, so the tools are much easier.

Because this time he was here to catch fry, Zhou Xiaobai specifically ordered Chen Mo to catch smaller fish.Chen Mo was also clever, and after using the bamboo pole in his hand a few times, he was able to catch the fish even faster than Zhou Xiaobai.

After a while, the two of them have already caught a dozen or so, although there are still many in the hot spring.Seeing the big black fish swimming around in the hot spring, Chen Mo felt greedy for a while. In his opinion, the fish were ingots of silver.But Zhou Xiaobai told Chen Mo not to catch them. This time he came here mainly to catch fish fry. If he catches too many, there is no place to raise them.

Zhou Xiaobai had never tried fish farming himself, so he planned to try it with these fish first, put all the caught fish in a jar and filled some water, and asked Chen Mo to clean up and plan to go down the mountain.

It dawned early in summer, and on the way back, the sky was almost bright.Although it was already dawn, one of them was holding a crock pot in his hand, which was heavy, so it was very difficult to walk.

Afraid that someone would go up the mountain, Zhou Xiaobai made a detour this time.When we got home, Grandpa had already gotten up, and when he saw the two of them coming back with a crock pot in their arms, he was scolded by them.

"You two are really brave. You dared to go out before dawn. Do you know what day it is?" Zhou Gensheng had something on his mind, and he struggled for a long time to fall asleep last night, so the one who woke up early slept very deeply. The two of them Getting up didn't wake him up.When he woke up, Zhou Xiaobai and his brother were gone. He was in a hurry, but it was still dark, so he didn't dare to go out.

"Today is Ghost Festival, the gate of ghosts is wide open, and you can't go out at night. Be careful if you are possessed by a ghost, you can't come back." Seeing the two of them coming back intact, I was relieved, but I couldn't bear it. Can't help nagging a few words.

Zhou Xiaobai took two cakes from the kitchen and handed them to Chen Mo. The two were tired all morning and ate them in two bites.As soon as the two finished eating, Zhou Xiaobai pulled Chen Mo up and hurried away, "Grandpa, Chen Mo and I went out to deliver the fry first."
