Chapter 126: Xue Xuan's Plan
At noon.
Yun Gu dug up a few purple-red radishes and some cabbages in the nearby vegetable garden.
Yu Liu searched the village for a long time.
Finally, they found a medicine pot in the bulging ashes of a fire basket in one family's house, and four coarse pottery bowls with chips in them were found in several other houses.
Although Yun Gu looked at the broken bowl with disgust, she could do nothing about it.
They had not thought of bringing any food on their way here.
Thinking that the Shen family had never worn good clothes, Yun Gu urged Xue Xuan to buy expensive clothes and jewelry.
However, when we got here, we realized something was wrong.
The villagers not only pried away the pots and jars on the stove, but also took away all the food in the kitchen. They also took away everything they could from the bedroom, the main room, and the yard.
Apart from the wooden bed which was difficult to move, there was really nothing left.
Last night, because she had no bedding and the young master didn't allow her to use new cloth, she was so cold that she couldn't sleep.
She sat there until late at night, when the fire in the house went out. When she woke up in the morning, she was so cold that her muscles were tense.
"A bunch of unruly people who will die in the light, leaving no way out for others!" Yun Gu muttered in a low voice.
After scrubbing the medicine jar several times, it still had a strong smell of Chinese medicine, which made her feel even more annoyed.
It was already noon and the young master had not had breakfast yet, so he had to work with Yu Liu to cook. After working for a long time, they barely managed to get a pot of chicken feet and radish soup out of the pot.
However, there is no salt.
I used the last bit of salt I found yesterday to make roast chicken. There were four chicken feet left that were too old to roast, so I left them there.
Fortunately, I didn't have time to throw it away and it ended up in the soup pot.
Hoping that the slight bit of salt on the chicken feet would enhance the flavor of the soup base - that was impossible.
Yu Liu took a bite and expressed disgust, but Xue Xuan swallowed it with an expressionless face.
"Young Master, let's go look for that girl somewhere else." Yun Gu asked tentatively.
"Wait a moment," the young man said, his posture straight and his expression calm. The chipped bowl he was holding did not affect his dignified posture while eating.
In fact, Xue Xuan came here on the surface to express his gratitude to Chen Xinli, but in reality he wanted to ask for another piece of chalcedony essence to suppress the violent disease.
Moreover, when they and Shen Xinli's family encountered a pack of wolves in the wild, Yun Gu said that the little girl had taken out a small dart-like weapon.
The thin dart shot out can actually kill a wild wolf directly.
Xue Xuan was very interested in the weapon that could knock down a pack of wolves with just one strike.
He only found out about this after hearing Yun Gu's description.
After he recovered a little, he wanted to find Chen Xinli and his group as quickly as possible.
After all, with the help of the magic weapon, retaking Tingyu Tower is just around the corner.
After they finished their soup, the young man pondered for a moment before speaking, "Yuliu, go check it out later. The villagers in this village obviously just left not long ago.
The crops and vegetable fields are still there, they must be hiding nearby, otherwise the child wouldn't show up so easily."
"Yes!" Yu Liu answered like a machine.
Inside the stone chamber.
The village head found four children and divided them into two groups to take turns guarding at two entrances, one was the small concave ridge at the entrance of the village, and the other was the place where Shen Jinlin had fallen before.
The entrance and exit through which the villagers moved their belongings had already been blocked by Yu Lizheng, and no one could enter or exit freely.
The two little bastards guarding the village entrance were very bored.
Because of the obstruction of the rocks, the view is blocked and only half of the village can be seen. You have to be careful to avoid being discovered.
Shen Yushan and Xiao Qianzi were in charge of guarding the place where Shen Jinlin fell.
Xiao Zhuanzi is Wang Po's grandson.
His mother died of heavy hemorrhage during childbirth, and his father went up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs to make money, but accidentally fell off a cliff and died on the spot.
Xiao Zhuanzi and Wang Pozi, the grandparents and grandchildren, depend on each other for survival.
If Yu Lizheng had not been kind-hearted and often helped his family, the little kid would have starved to death long ago.
Therefore, Xiao Zhuanzi was particularly sensible and offered to help monitor the movements in the village.
At this moment, the little baby's body was stuck in a small opening. He looked outside for a while, then lowered his head and looked at other children in the village playing with envy.
The dome is very high, and you can see clearly what is happening below.
There have never been many children in the village, and the underground stone chamber is built along the mountain. It was the first time for the children to discover such an interesting place, and they started playing on the slide and hide-and-seek in it.
Children's troubles come and go quickly.
Seeing his friends playing, Ban'er was attracted over and no longer felt sad for his Xiaohui and Xiaobai.
Little Rafter looked at Ban'er hiding in a crevice with curiosity, but felt it was boring, so he looked outside again.
Suddenly, a figure moved in the village, and then disappeared after a while.
"Xiao Shanzi, I seemed to see a woman just now." The skinny Xiao Qianzi excitedly said to Shen Yushan who was coming over to replace him.
"You haven't seen the flowers, have you, Xiaoqianzi?" Shen Yushan said nervously.
"No, when you first went to the toilet, I saw a woman sneaking around in Maodan's vegetable garden, digging radishes. After a while, she wiggled away."
"You saw someone but didn't tell the village head," Shen Yushan criticized.
"No, Xiaoshanzi, the village head said, 'Let's see if she's from the government,' but that woman is clearly not from the government."
Xiao Zhuanzi is ten years old this year. He is unwilling to call Shen Yushan, who is a few years older than him but not as tall as him, brother, and he also follows the children in the village to give Shen Yushan a nickname.
"Oh, then we have to talk to the village head, too."
Shen Yushan quickly ran towards a side corridor, leaving Xiao Qianzi alone and a little confused.
