Chapter 1079: Does koi bring blessing or disaster (31)
After waiting for the classmate to leave, Chen Wenlu pretended to be calm and his face fell, and he cursed, "a bunch of villains who follow the wind." Knowing that he had some connection with Magistrate Su, he flattered him a lot.
He remembered something and took out a jade lock from his arms.
The jade lock is made of jade as fine and white as suet, with a warm luster and exquisite carving. Although it is only one inch in size, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
And this jade lock was taken off from Song Ming's neck.
With Song Sheng's family assets, he might not be able to afford this jade lock even if he sells it all.
He inquired and found out that none of Song Shengzu's ancestors were scholars. He became a scholar because his widowed mother did embroidery to support him. During the most difficult time, he sold his sister to a wealthy family to become a girl.
Song Sheng kept the jade in a tight lock during his lifetime, and gave it to He Zhenniang before he died, asking her to hide it.
Song Sheng underestimated the extent of He Zhenniang's love for Song Ming. He Zhenniang hid the jade lock at Song Sheng's advice, but she hid it on Song Ming's body and only asked Song Ming to put the jade lock in his clothes so as not to be exposed.
Chen Wenlu only saw a red rope around Song Ming's neck last time. His heart moved and he pulled out the red rope and discovered the jade lock.
The jade lock cannot be inherited from Song Sheng's family, and it is probably related to Song Yuerou's origin.
Fortunately, he got the jade lock first, and fortunately he didn't bring it with him, otherwise Song Yuerou would have gotten it.
"Song Yuerou!" Chen Wenlu wished he could eat his flesh alive.
The jade lock is in his hand. No matter where Song Yuerou comes from, if she wants to recognize her relatives and return to her ancestors, it will not be a good thing.
…
Chen Caiyu was walking slowly with a basket of wild mushrooms on her back.
She absolutely didn't want to go to Luo's house, and she absolutely didn't want to pick wild mushrooms, but she couldn't help it.
She was almost exhausted every day. She had endless work to do during the day and always had nightmares when she slept at night.
She was not the only one who had nightmares. Except for Erya, Three Ya and Four Ya, everyone in the family did not have nightmares. At night, she was either awakened by nightmares or woken up by someone's scream.
Thinking of her mother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, and second chief, they had to go to open up wasteland every day. They were not allowed to go home until they worked enough. They were tired day by day, black and thin, and they ate only black food.
Even though she was half full, she was able to eat a full meal at Luo's house. Grandma Hua sometimes gave her a snack or two.
Thinking of this, Chen Caiyu felt a little better.
After entering the village, a villager called her, "Caiyu, have you gone to the mountain to pick mushrooms?"
Chen Caiyu lowered his head and ignored him.
They are all ignorant idiots, so she doesn't care about them.
The people in the village were used to Chen Caiyu ignoring others, so they didn't wait for Chen Caiyu to respond and started talking to themselves.
"It's still Yuerou who knows how to teach people. Caiyu used to be as delicate as anything. She wore bright and bright clothes every day and stayed at home without doing any work. This allowed Yuerou to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms by herself.
Son."
"Isn't that true? Who doesn't do this when they are six or seven years old? Caiyu has passed his ninth birthday and is already ten years old. What will happen if he doesn't work?"
"Ma Cuifen doesn't even come out to say that her family has a lucky star."
"What a lucky star, the Chen family is very evil. Every night one screams or the other cries. It's really scary."
"It's hard to say. Yuerou got the favor of the Mountain God. The Chen family treated her harshly. The Mountain God vented his anger on her, which made the Chen family not have a good dream..."
She didn't! It was all her mother's fault. She had never abused her third sister-in-law, so why should she have nightmares? Chen Caiyu was very unconvinced, but she didn't dare to say it.
She believes in the mountain god more than others. She has the ability to make people happy and unlucky by thinking about it. Maybe there really is a mountain god.
She hated hearing these words and changed from a slow walk to a trot.
"...Don't mention it, Caiyu is quite strong. I think he can still run with a big basket on his back..."
Chen Caiyu covered her ears with her hands and ran faster.
After running back to Luo's house, Chen Caiyu felt inexplicably at ease.
Hua Qiuniang greeted her, "Caiyu is back, there is honey water in the kitchen, go and drink it." Although she also saw that Chen Caiyu and Rouwazi said the same thing, they disliked everyone, and treated both her and the old man.
It's a roll of the eyes.
I put out baskets for everything, lit a fire and almost burned the kitchen, picked up mushrooms and came back with a bunch of poisonous mushrooms.
She thought it was because the child was too young to do such work, but Rouwazi glared and realized that Chen Caiyu would be more experienced in cooking fires next time than she was, and none of the mushrooms she picked up were poisonous.
No wonder Rouwazi said that he brought Chen Caiyu here just to correct Chen Caiyu's bad habits. This poisonous mushroom will eat people to death. It's not a good intention.
She no longer felt there was anything wrong with Rou Wazi working on top of Chen Caiyu.
But work is work, and Chen Caiyu is still young, so he is not short on food and drink.
"Oh." Chen Caiyu rolled her eyes and went to the kitchen. She only had a bowl of sugar water. She thought it was something good and even told her about it.
Seeing that Chen Caiyu took her kindness as it should be, Hua Qiuniang shook her head secretly. She did not expect Chen Caiyu to thank her.
Chen Caiyu threw the bamboo basket on the ground, drank the honey water, and sat down to rest.
Suddenly catching a glimpse of a familiar figure, Chen Caiyu hurriedly poured the wild mushrooms in the bamboo basket into a bamboo plaque, picked up a knife and put them away.
Zi Hua entered the kitchen and told Chen Caiyu, "It's almost Chinese New Year. Let's get a wild boar. Compared with the one you brought to the Chen family last year, don't kill it if it gets fainted."
The luck ability of koi fish is very good. Whatever she wants to eat or what kind of thing she wants to find, let Chen Caiyu use her ability and she can quickly achieve her wish.
It's a pity that Chen Caiyu needs a certain recovery period after using up his abilities, so he can't just use them whenever he wants.
Yuhua restrained Chen Caiyu and prevented her from absorbing other people's luck. Chen Caiyu only relied on instinct to absorb the original energy floating between heaven and earth to recover her abilities, and her recovery was slow.
She just took a look and found that Chen Caiyu's abilities had been restored and could be put to use.
It’s Chinese New Year, how can we not have New Year Pig? Wild boar meat tastes good when it’s ready.
Chen Caiyu pursed her lips, she did not dare to say "no" to Zi Hua's instructions.
She knew that when her third sister-in-law discovered that her abilities had been restored, it was like this every time. The day her abilities were restored, her third sister-in-law would definitely let her use it.
Chen Caiyu put down the knife in his hand and thought to himself.
Before long, Zihua heard the sound of a wild boar coming down the mountain.
When she came out of the yard, she saw a big wild boar weighing about three hundred kilograms rushing out of the woods, hitting the wall of the Luo family's courtyard, shaking a few times and falling to the ground.
Zihua went over and carried the wild boar back.
Hua Qiuniang and Luo Genshan were naturally happy. It was the Chinese New Year and picking up a big wild boar for nothing was a good sign.
The good omen came true the next day, when Jiao Li came to the door and wanted Luo Genshan to take over the task of rebuilding the mountain temple, because the mountain temple was an all-wooden building.
