Chapter 56 Silver
The next day, the news that Yufen liked to steal other people's birthday bowls spread throughout Xiaoshi Village. Sun Pingjuan was partly responsible for this. If she hadn't spread the news loudly, the news would not have spread so quickly.
Sun Pingjuan found four longevity bowls in Yufen's house. All four belonged to other people, and no one knew how she got them.
Except for Sun Pingjuan, everyone else thought they had lost the bowl and didn't think of looking for it afterwards.
Now that Sun Pingjuan had exposed the matter, the people who found out that their own bowls were missing started to curse Yufen's family.
People in the village are still a bit superstitious. If the bowl that is used to wish for longevity is stolen from someone else's house, then the blessings of the family are stolen as well.
So even though it wasn't a big deal, her reputation was completely ruined.
Along with her fame, Lu Xing also became famous for her ability to find things.
After Lu Xing finished his breakfast and walked to the village entrance, he happened to hear people gathered together discussing what happened yesterday.
Originally, people in Xiaoshi Village addressed each other according to their seniority, so it was not uncommon for people in their forties or fifties to call teenagers "uncle."
But after the reform and opening up, there are more and more young people, and fewer and fewer people follow this rule.
When Lu Xing got older, everyone got used to calling people by their age. Younger married women were called "sisters." The term "grandma" was less common in Xiaoshi Village, and older women were all called "aunts."
"I usually see Sister Yufen being so friendly with everyone. I never thought she was such a person behind the scenes. She's so wicked."
"I heard that Aunt Lu Xing helped find the bowl at Erniu's mom's house this time? Her ability is incredible. She can tell what's in other people's homes. Isn't that the same as that Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils?"
"Exactly. He was able to find a bowl that someone had lost years ago. That's incredible."
"I heard that people with this ability are usually lacking in one aspect, either they are childless or they are blind. Could this be the reason why Aunt Lu Xing never got married?"
"Didn't they say Yufen was cursing Auntie behind her back, saying no one wanted her? Did she hear something?"
Because Lian Hua was also sitting in the crowd, the others' tone unconsciously softened when they talked about Lu Xing not getting married when he was young.
Only people of Lu Xing's age knew what was going on. The young people in the village had never heard of it, as if it were a taboo.
The more taboo something is, the more curious they are. This time, they started talking about Yufen.
Lian Hua, who had a good relationship with Lu Xing, knew the most about this matter. "She didn't have the ability before, so how could it be related to not getting married? The older people know that Lu Xing had no shortage of suitors when she was young."
"If you ask me, she must have learned that skill from the time she vomited. Maybe her soul went to heaven and saw the heavenly book."
After hearing her say this, everyone's attention shifted to the fact that Lu Xing was pursued by others when she was young. "Did Aunt Lu Xing have many admirers when she was young? Then why hasn't she gotten married yet?"
"Isn't Aunt Lu Xing really beautiful when she was young? That's why so many people pursue her?"
Lian Hua raised her eyebrows and was about to start talking nonsense, "Of course..."
"What is it?" Lu Xing stood in front of her, wanting to see what she could come up with.
"I don't know."
But she couldn't help but make excuses for herself, "It's been so long since this happened, and the people who bothered you are dead. What's there to hide?"
"It's better to tell it yourself than to let others spread rumors. Just listen to what they've said about you. They even say you're seducing people everywhere."
Lu Xing was also puzzled. "I didn't want to talk about it myself, and I didn't stop you from talking about it. Who told me not to talk about it?"
"Ah? Didn't you scold your second and third uncles to death when they forced you to hand over the family property? At that time, everyone said that if anyone dared to say anything outside, they would be scolded to death by you."
Ever since that incident, Lotus has been hearing such rumors. She thought that was the reason why no one dared to talk about it.
The younger people around stopped talking and looked at Lu Xing, wanting to hear what she had to say.
This matter cannot be entirely considered a misunderstanding. Lu Xing has many brothers and sisters and many mouths to feed, and the family is very poor and cannot afford to raise so many children.
Lu Xing's eldest brother joined the army, and his older brothers and sisters followed suit, but none of them came back alive.
Her parents couldn't bear the shock and followed her.
She couldn't remember what happened next. During that period, her relatives died one after another.
Lu Xing is the youngest daughter in the family and is spoiled by her brothers and sisters. Although the family is poor, they always find ways to find food for Lu Xing.
So the death of her family member was a big blow to her. The little girl who used to love to talk and laugh now didn't like to speak anymore.
Before she had time to get over the shadow of her family's death, her second and third uncles came to persuade her to get married so that the Lu family could continue.
But after marrying, she cannot take the Lu family’s house and land with her; they have to be transferred to other relatives.
At that time, many people wanted to marry Lu Xing, not because she was beautiful, but because all the pensions of her brothers and sisters were in her hands.
Add the house and land, that's a lot of money.
Second uncle and third uncle were just two of them who came to test the waters. If Lu Xing couldn't handle it, she would not be able to keep the money.
She was young at the time and couldn't think of any good solution when she was forced into a corner. She simply took a rope and went to her second and third uncle's houses and scolded them. If they continued to force her, she would hang herself at their doorstep.
I don’t know if he was scared by her words, or if the two of them were of similar age, but they died one after another within a few days.
After this incident, people who were not brave enough did not dare to come and cause trouble. In addition, Lu Zhengde's father was a very fair village chief. With the help of the village chief, her life was not too difficult.
Later, when she got older, those people who had been looking for trouble with her didn't live as long as her and died one after another. Every year when she went to visit their graves, she could still see those people's graves.
So she no longer cared about this matter.
She interrupted Lianhua because she wanted her to stop talking nonsense outside, as she had even made up the Book of Heaven.
When she heard that she didn't care, Lian Hua couldn't hold back her words. She had wanted to curse about what happened before. It was too immoral for a group of people to want to wipe out the whole family.
Those who wanted to hear gossip followed her to the side, and those who stayed were those who were curious about Lu Xing's abilities.
"Aunt Lu Xing, what else can you find besides bowls? Can you find clothes? I have a cotton-padded jacket at home and I don't know where I put it. I can't find it no matter how hard I try."
"Auntie, I lost a bowl at home too. Can you help me find it?"
"Lu Xing, the vegetables I planted won't grow. How about you give me a hand?"
It’s okay that the first two were looking for things, but why are they looking for her now that the vegetables can’t grow?
The man probably felt that this sounded a bit embarrassing, so he went on to explain: "It's just that the seeds haven't sprouted for a long time. I guess they were eaten by mice."
"You have the ability to sense what's going on inside people's houses, so you should be able to sense the seeds in the ground as well, right?"
When the other people heard his words, they seemed to have some inspiration and asked Lu Xing to help them look at the vegetables in the field.
"The vegetables in my field have been wilting these past few days. Can you help me sense if they're rotten at the roots?"
"Auntie, the beans in my garden are not growing tall. Can you help me sense if I haven't applied enough fertilizer?"
When people heard about Lu Xing's ability to find people before, they were just surprised. But when they heard that this ability also allowed them to see crops, their attitude changed.
"I can't look after the crops, and I can't find the things you've lost."
"Why? Didn't you help find Erniu's mother's bowl?"
"That's because she's carried that bowl with her for twenty or thirty years. It's a deep connection to her, and the bowl wasn't far away, so I was able to sense it."
This was inspired by a TV series she watched in her previous life.
"Ah, your ability is conditional, so that's not that great, is it?"
"Yes, not everything can be sensed." Lu Xing pretended to be embarrassed, but in fact she wished they would think of their abilities as useless so that no one would come to her for help.
"Then what can you usually sense?"
Lu Xing looked at the person who asked the question with gratitude. She had thought for a long time last night about how to cover up her incident.
After thinking for a long time, she felt that the only way to divert everyone's attention was to find something bigger.
However, there hasn't been anything major happening in Xiaoshi Village recently. As for the incident with Yufen stealing the bowl, the matter was over after a few families scolded her.
She could only ask the system to find out if there was anything strange nearby.
The system discovered that someone had buried something on the mountain near Xiaoniu Village.
Lu Xing was planning to make up a story about this incident, and now that someone asked her about it, she could just tell the prepared story.
"I've always felt like there's something wrong with the mountain near Xiaoniu Village. It's gloomy and gloomy. Especially halfway up the mountain, I feel like there's something there."
"I don't know if it's because of something else, but I usually can't sense anything else. It was just a coincidence that Erniu's mother happened to be there that time."
I don’t know how much they believed this statement, but they certainly didn’t ask Lu Xing for help like before.
There was no one around her, so Lu Xing sat there for a while, listening to others chatting. When the sun was overhead, she slowly strolled home to cook lunch.
Lianhua followed her and waited until there was no one around before asking her, "Is what you just said about the mountain true or false?"
"The mountain next to Xiaoniu Village?"
"hold head high?"
She said with certainty, "That's fake. We've been to that mountain so many times, and there's nothing there. If I didn't say that, so many people in our village would have pestered me for help."
Lianhua believed her words for the time being.
Lu Xing also thought that the matter was over. It was impossible that someone would really go to that mountain to dig something, right?
It turns out that some people actually do this.
He is also an acquaintance of Lu Xing, Lu Jiayuan.
Previously, because his sister Lu Yanan was pregnant, he had gone to Lu Xing's house to ask for bamboo worms.
Later, I felt so embarrassed that I went up the mountain to look for it myself.
But there were only a few bamboo worms in that bamboo forest, and Lu Jiayuan didn't find many, so he thought of digging up some wild vegetables to take back so that the trip wouldn't be in vain.
While picking wild vegetables, he happened to remember what Lu Xing said. For some reason, he was inexplicably possessed and started looking for it on the mountainside.
I don’t know whether he is lucky or Lu Xing is unlucky.
Just digging casually, he actually found something.
It looks like the silver used in the past.
As soon as the news came out, not only the people in Xiaoshi Village, but even the people in Xiaoniu Village joined in the activity of looking for silver.
