Seeing that his daughter-in-law was listening with particular excitement, with her eyes wide open, Gu Yanzhang thought for a moment and began to describe to her the details of what happened at that time.

"The coffin was burnt to a crisp, and the smoke and stench were getting stronger. The pillar of his family discussed with some of his brothers and asked the elders for instructions. They immediately brought buckets of water and started to put out the fire..." "

And they also took out the body."

"I heard them say that after what happened, it would be absolutely impossible to carry the coffin up the mountain tomorrow..."

Feeling that such a thing was a once-in-a-millennium event, Chen Xuanxuan covered her chest and sighed, "After such a thing happened, how could the people in our village not be in a turmoil?"

"I guess those who like to gossip and talk about other people's affairs outside every day will not be able to sleep tonight..."

Gu Yanzhang listened and nodded with a smile, "Of course! You know some people in our clan. What they like to watch most is the liveliness of other people's families. What they like to hear most is other people's jokes."

"Actually, such things are the biggest wonders in the world for the villagers! I think that in the years to come, those people in and outside our village will talk about this matter..."

Chen Xuanxuan nodded after hearing this, "I think so too."

Chen Xuanxuan was really too tired. After forcing herself to stay awake and talking for a while, she soon fell asleep.

After she closed her eyes and fell asleep, Gu Yanzhang hurriedly ate his midnight snack and then washed his own dishes.

Gu Yanzhang really didn't expect that the midnight snack he had at night would be so good.

More than a pound of braised meat, plus the greasy soup, Gu Yanzhang felt that he could eat two more bowls.

After eating and drinking enough, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.

When he got up early the next morning, Gu Yanzhang subconsciously touched his stomach.

Gu Yanzhang's usual amount of activity is very large. Because he has a lot of things to do.

Moreover, most of the inside and outside of this house are taken care of by him.

This person's activity volume is large, and his appetite will naturally increase.

However, Gu Yanzhang always wronged himself in normal times.

In the past, he was always hungry. He often followed his father to live frugally. He

had two meals a day, or even only one meal a day.

Moreover, every meal was very makeshift. Sometimes it was just a bowl of porridge made from grass roots. Sometimes it was a bunch of unknown green vegetables, wild vegetables, miscellaneous vegetables, etc., boiled into a yellow-green porridge.

How could these messy things guarantee the energy and nutrition needed by the human body every day?

Chen Xuanxuan, in the past, was confused about why the ancients matured so early? Why did they age so early? She actually had some guesses.

As the saying goes, children of poor families grow up early.

In places where family conditions or social conditions are particularly bad, the children of farmers and mountain people have to help their parents with work when they are only a few years old.

Some are only three years old, and they will help their parents to collect firewood outside, cut grass for pig cages, and even feed pigs, chickens and ducks.

When they are seven or eight years old, they will follow their parents to farm, feed cattle, and pull weeds. As for washing clothes and cooking, they can do it.

Children are so young that they can't even eat enough, but they have to do so much heavy work. How can they not look mature?

Of course, their faces look very old, much more mature than those adults who have a better life, but their bodies are still so tender.

Many of them looked like big-headed babies with severe malnutrition when they were only a few years old or even in their teens.

When they were young, they did not have enough nutrition, and their physical development was seriously retarded. When they were in their 20s and 30s, they looked a little prematurely aged.

People with poor living conditions look particularly good in their 30s and 40s, sometimes their hair is completely white, some people are particularly tanned, their skin is particularly bad, and their hands and feet are particularly rough, and there are many wrinkles on their faces.

In short, they live a very hard life.

Although Gu Yanzhang is taller than the average farmer and has big bones, he knows in his heart that he is not normal.

Even though his diet has improved a lot in recent years and he can eat meat every other day, he still cannot gain weight every time he eats better.

He knows that his body is not normal.

Sometimes, his wife is particularly disgusted with his thinness and feels that his bones are hitting her.

...

Last night, Gu Yanzhang finally ate to his heart's content. Early this morning, he began to have the leisure to think about all sorts of things.

Just as Gu Yanzhang was daydreaming, Chen Xuanxuan, who felt a gust of cold wind blowing into the quilt, suddenly woke up. Then she frowned and yelled at him unhappily, "What are you doing? If you want to sleep, lie down and sleep! If you don't want to sleep, get out of bed and cook! What are you doing sitting here? The heat in my quilt is running away..."

Seeing his wife angry, Gu Yanzhang felt a little guilty and a little scared, so he got out of bed and put on his clothes, "I'm sorry, wife."

"I have just been thinking about a question. I have been wondering for the past few days whether I have the parasites you mentioned..."

Chen Xuanxuan, who had closed her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the word "parasite".

Whether in her previous life or in this life, the things she hates most are parasites.

Moreover, those parasites in the human body not only look particularly disgusting, but they are also particularly harmful to the human body.

For example, schistosomes, liver flukes, and lung flukes. There are also parasites that grow in the brain, lymph, and other key parts of the human body...

They are all stealing nutrients from the human body in large quantities.
