"Yeah!" Regardless of whether Xiang Wentian could see it or not, Leng You nodded heavily.
The Leng family members who were eating breakfast at the table at this time couldn't help but shudder. The adults in the Leng family looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
Is the evil spirit really coming to claim your life?
Ma Dahua quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks, ran to the door, and checked the bolt again.
Today is the fourth day since the debt collector (Leng You) fell from the Valley of Summoning Souls. Every night there are strange noises outside the house that make people's hair stand on end, and even there are occasional "dong dong" sounds coming from the roof.
The two big dogs, which were usually so powerful that they could almost eat people, did not react at all.
When this happened on the first day, Leng Jinsheng and his son Leng Shugen plucked up the courage to go out and take a look, but they found nothing.
As a result, Leng Shugen developed a high fever in the middle of the night and started talking nonsense, and his words scared the Leng family members half to death -
"Don't come over here, don't come over here... Don't come over here, don't take me away!"
"Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your biological mother. Don't come to me."
"Ah... stop pulling my head!"
"Ah... don't dig my heart!
"Ah...don't bite my kidneys!"
…
Especially when Leng Shugen shouted miserably, "Don't bite my kidneys," Leng Shugen's mother Shi Sanyue rolled her eyes and fell to the ground, and Ma Dahua even wet her crotchless cotton pants.
Even Comrade Li Jinsheng, the village chief who is usually well-informed, turned pale, his legs went weak, his hair stood on end, and beads of cold sweat dripped down his face.
No matter how powerful a ghost is, it would not dare to come out and cause trouble in broad daylight.
Ma Dahua comforted herself and turned around. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the crack in the door, picked up the ashes of the paper that had just been burned on the ground, and blew straight into Ma Dahua's face.
"Oh my God!" Ma Dahua screamed miserably. Her fat body leaped up as nimbly as a rabbit and jumped back into the house in a few jumps.
Everyone shuddered violently, the bowls in their hands fell down one after another, and the soup and vegetables spilled all over the place.
The worst off was Leng Shugen. It was only today that his fever subsided a little and he was able to eat something. As soon as he put a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, he was already frightened, and then he was suddenly frightened again. Two noodles sprayed out of his nostrils.
Then he shook his body, rolled his eyes, and fell on the kang with a thud.
What is incredible is that although it was the head that fell heavily first, the two noodles were firmly hung on the nostrils and hung down to the chest.
Later, the Leng family's house was filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves.
…
"Pheasant!" Leng You made a new discovery as soon as he went down into the valley.
Not one but a flock of pheasants stopped by the stream to drink water.
Perhaps it was because he had never seen a creature like human before, so when he saw Leng You and Xiang Wentian coming over, he didn't show any fear.
"No rush." Today's main task is to dig ginseng, and Xiang Wentian is not in a hurry to make them food on the plate.
"They also drink hot spring water?" Leng You was a little surprised.
"The flowing hot spring water has been diluted by rain and snow water and has lost the smell of sulfur." Xiang Wentian observed very carefully.
"After we dig up all this ginseng, we'll explore further inside to see if there are any other treasures." Leng You was already impatient.
"Okay." This was exactly what Xiang Wentian wanted. He was also becoming more and more curious and looking forward to this place.
Today the two of them cooperated better and faster, and with the help of their special powers, they dug out the remaining nine ginsengs intact just this afternoon.
They used mud to patch up the bark and then filled the hole back in. Without any delay, the two returned directly to Wen Jiuyue.
Although he had laid the groundwork yesterday, Wen Jiuyue was still stunned for a long time by the sudden appearance of so many ginsengs.
After recovering from the stress, I immediately started to plan and dry it.
The ones from yesterday were completely dry. Leng You carefully wrapped them with straw paper, put them in a wicker basket, and asked Xiang Wentian to temporarily hang it on the beam of the bedroom.
After the remaining pieces are planed, seal them together and store them.
Over there, Wen Jiuyue had already prepared dinner - rabbit meat stewed with mushrooms and sorghum flour pancakes.
She wanted to eat early and peel the ginseng immediately after the meal.
"Brother, you eat here! After eating, let's go back to Grandpa Xiang and the others." Leng You grabbed the corner of Xiang Wentian's clothes and looked up at him.
"Okay!" Xiang Wentian had roughly guessed what Leng You was going to do, so he did not refuse.
After dinner, Leng You hesitated for a moment, picked out two ginsengs that were three hundred years old and two that were less than a hundred years old, and put them in a bag.
Although we have dug up quite a few branches, a total of sixteen, including three that are about four hundred years old, four that are about three hundred years old, four that are one or two hundred years old, and five that are less than a hundred years old, it is still difficult to classify them.
Lengyou wanted to leave one of the three four-hundred-year-old ginseng to Wen Jiuyue and one to Xiang Wentian, so the question became whether to give the remaining one to Xiang Huaixin or Bai Changpu.
So why not just give each person a 300-year-old one and another one that is less than 100 years old, as a precaution for them in case of emergency. If they need anything in the future, we can just give it to them.
"One three hundred year old one will be enough for each person." Xiang Wentian said.
He saw Leng You's dilemma and knew that if she had another 400-year-old ginseng, she would give it away without hesitation.
From Leng You's words, it can be clearly seen that she understands the value of ginseng.
Xiang Wentian's heart was shaken again.
"With the kindness Grandpa Xiang and the others have shown me, these are far from enough." Leng You's eyes were bright.
She understood what Xiang Wentian meant. He wanted her to use the ginseng to exchange for more money so that she and Wen Jiuyue would have sufficient security for their future lives.
But Leng You has absolute confidence that even without these ginsengs, she can still live a good life with Wen Jiuyue.
"Youyou is a loyal child. If she wants to send it off, let her do it!" Wen Jiuyue spoke up for her.
"Let's go!" Xiang Wentian said no more.
Even if Leng You is not so precocious, Wen Jiuyue's character is enough to teach this child well.
He carried Leng You on his back, brought a large bowl of food, and walked out of the house.
"The food is here, the food is here! Bring it to me quickly to see what delicious food the Wen family's sister has made today." Seeing Xiang Wentian carrying Leng You into the house, Bai Changpu immediately went up to him excitedly and quickly took the clay basin.
Ever since Leng You was injured and went to Wen Jiuyue's house, Xiang Wentian worked there from morning till night as if he had lived there forever, and the meals for him and Xiang Huaixin have been greatly improved.
To be more precise, ever since Leng You fell to the bottom of the valley and discovered the differences there, their food has also become different.
His previous interactions with Wen Jiuyue were all because of Leng You. Many times when Leng You was beaten all over by her stepmother Ma Dahua or even on the verge of death, it was Wen Jiuyue who brought the poor child to Bai Changpu and asked him to treat him.
