This is……
Yue Jiuyue suddenly remembered that when she lived in the village before, she heard that children could see things that adults couldn't.
Another theory suggests that people are born with a "third eye," which closes as they grow older. Because a child's "third eye" remains open, they can see things that adults cannot.
She also remembered that after her neighbor's new wife became pregnant, she went to another house to ask a one- or two-year-old child whether she was carrying a boy or a girl.
So, is that what Liu meant too?
Yue Jiuyue never expected that such a saying would exist in this fictional ancient world, and it actually felt quite familiar.
"Oh, this matter depends on God's will; you can't force it."
After Yue Jiuyue finished speaking, she didn't want to continue, lest she say more superstitious things against her will and challenge her own values.
In the afternoon, the family went to the back mountain to dig holes for earthworms. Yue Jiuyue also picked up the medicinal herbs that Lin Chaodong and the others had dug up and exchanged them for copper coins at the 2023 Mall.
The afternoon passed in this way. As the sun set, the whole village walked home in the afterglow of the setting sun, their expressions a mixture of joy and sorrow, showing that everyone's harvest was different.
The harvest for Yue Jiuyue's family was not great, but the family members were very content. No matter how many earthworms they dug up, it was all free money, even if it was just a single copper coin, although they might feel a little disappointed.
For them, all they have to do is put in some effort to earn money, unlike farming, where they have to buy seeds, compost, turn the soil, nourish the soil, water, fertilize, weed, and so on, and they don't even know what the harvest will be like in the end.
Compared to farming, digging for medicinal herbs or finding earthworms is practically like picking up free money.
"Third brother, do you know how to prepare these earthworms?"
Lin Chaodong's question stumped Lin Chaonan.
"Brother, I don't know."
Lin Chaonan scratched the back of his head and asked uncertainly:
"How about I go to the Li family's clinic in town tomorrow and ask them?"
He couldn't think of any other way besides this.
Lin Chaodong frowned. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to keep troubling the Li family's medical clinic like this? Last time he went to the clinic to sell medicinal herbs, he heard that they offered his family the highest price. If it weren't for the fact that his family was really short of money, he would have wanted to return some of it.
Fortunately, there's a cheat code here—Yue Jiuyue.
"What's so difficult about processing crickets? Do you know how to dry small fish? You just wash the crickets clean, then put wood ash in them to kill them, then cut them open, remove their internal organs, wash them clean, and then find a place to dry them."
Lin Chaodong and his two brothers plus Liu: ≡￣﹏￣≡
It sounds very unreliable.
In the end, the whole family did as Yue Jiuyue suggested because they couldn't think of a better way, and they were afraid that if they left it overnight, all the earthworms would die and smell bad, and then all their efforts would be in vain.
While Yue Jiuyue's family was busy preparing earthworms in the last rays of the setting sun, some quick-thinking people remembered that it was Yue Jiuyue who first led them to dig for medicinal herbs, and it was Yue Jiuyue's son, Lin Chaonan, who went to the town's clinic to learn how to prepare medicinal herbs and then taught them. They thought, maybe that kid Lin Chaonan also knows how to prepare earthworms?
So, when Yue Jiuyue's family was collectively gutting and cleaning the earthworms, they were greeted by wave after wave of villagers.
