Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

There is indeed no one selling green vegetables here in Sanyi Town. That’s because everyone here grows them in their backyards and cannot sell them at all, so there is no such business.

There are quite a few selling chicken, duck and fish meat, especially fish. There is a lot of water here. There is a lake not far to the south of the town, and there is a river flowing to the north. Many people from the surrounding villages will catch fish and sell them in the town. .

She planned to buy a few soon, and she could keep the ones she couldn't finish today. Anyway, she had an empty water tank at home.

In addition to cutting some pork and buying a chicken from next door and killing it, entertaining guests must be more sumptuous.

One look at this shows that Xiao Danniang is indeed only harsh on herself, and is really not a stingy person towards others.

Especially when Li Huier called her father back, Qingyan looked at Li Laoer, who was tall, strong and as chubby as his mother, and felt more and more that Xiao Danniang might have some inner problems.

The second child's name was Li Laifu, and his brother's name was Li Laigui. Aunt Xiao actually gave birth to five children, three sons and two daughters, but they did not raise one son or two daughters, so only Li Laigui and Li Laifu raised them.

Both sons are very filial and obey their mother's words, which is why Aunt Xiao is so rich, generous and fat.

After hearing Aunt Xiao's story about how she met Qingyan and the others, and why it took more than ten days to come back, Li Laifu looked frightened and was about to kowtow to Qingyan and the others.

Although this is not a life-saving favor, it is still a favor to take the risk to send his mother, wife and daughter back.

Jin Yang quickly supported him and did not let him kneel down. He also said: "Brother Li, your gift is too much. We are also coming here, but we are just taking aunt and the others with us on the way. I don't deserve you." Such a great gift.”

Qingyan was also there to help Jin Yang: "Yes, Brother Li, we are going to have lunch at your place. If you are so polite, then we will be embarrassed to stay any longer. "

Aunt Xiao quickly said to her son: "Not too polite, not too polite. Just let the second son get what he wants. Instead of doing these nonsense, why not let your wife get more delicious food."

After saying that, he turned to Qingyan and said, "Don't leave in a hurry. After lunch, take a nap and stay with us for one night. As you can see, our place is quite spacious and can be fully accommodated.

Tomorrow Hui'er and I can take you to Congzhu River. Aren't you going to have fun here? The scenery here is also pretty good.

Especially the Congzhu River and Wawa Lake. The Congzhu River is a branch of the Miluo River. There are many fish in it. You can go fishing by yourself or use a net to catch them.

Wawa Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There are dense trees on the mountains, and the mountains are connected to the water. The water reflects the mountain scenery. Not to mention how beautiful it is. There is also a tall stone in the center of the lake, which looks like a little baby standing with open hands. The name of the lake That's how it came about. "

Qingyan had seen it with her spiritual consciousness before and knew that there was a lake on one side and a river on the other, but she didn't look carefully at the stone in the middle of the lake. Now when she heard Aunt Xiao say this, she "looked" carefully and found that it really looked like a little baby. shape.

That stone is actually the exposed part of a small island hidden in the water in the center of the lake. There is an island a hundred meters in diameter in the center of the lake, but it is only hidden under the water and only about one meter deep. Only that A stone emerged from the water.

It is estimated that if there is less rain and the water level drops, the small island will be exposed.

Seeing that Qingyan was a little moved, Aunt Xiao told her the legend of the Wawa Lake.

“Legend has it that this Wawa Lake was originally called Yanlai Lake, and in autumn many geese would fly in and live by the lake.

There lived a family of three by the lake. The parents were tofu makers and the child was just five years old. One day, the parents went to the village to deliver tofu, so they left the child alone at home.

Because I lived close to the lake, I told my children not to go to the water to play, but to stay in their own yard.

Afraid that the child would be disobedient, the courtyard door was locked from the outside so that the child could not get out.

Unexpectedly, there was a piece of charcoal fire that was not extinguished in the stove pit where soy milk was cooked in the yard. Somehow, an evil wind blew up the charcoal fire and blew it onto the firewood pile next to it, causing a fire!

Although the child was young, he was also sensible. He hurriedly tried to put out the fire, but the wind increased the fire's intensity, and it was useless for him to scoop water with a ladle.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and eventually even the house was set on fire. At this moment, the geese that were perching on the lake flew up one after another, flying directly above the yard, and then it started to rain.

It turned out that the geese all came over with a mouthful of water and spat it out towards the fire, like rain.

Once, twice, and I don’t know how many times, the fire was extinguished. This scene happened to be seen by people who lived nearby and came to put out the fire. They all said that the gods appeared and sent geese to put out the fire.

But when the child's parents came back, the child was missing, and they couldn't find it no matter how hard they looked.

People around said that the child might have perished in the fire. After all, the fire was already burning when the geese came to put out the fire. They didn't hear the child's cry, so the child should have been dead by then.

But the child's parents didn't believe it. They thought that if they didn't see the body, the child should still be alive. They still searched nearby every day, and would kneel by the lake and ask the geese for help.

Since those geese could help put out the fire, they must also be able to find their children. After a few months, they all fell ill one after another, and they never saw their children come back until they died.

But on the third day after their death, just after the corpses were buried, a stone statue suddenly appeared in the center of Yanlai Lake. Anyone who knows him will take a look and realize that this is not that child! Why did it become a stone statue?

Then there were rumors that the child was rescued by the geese at that time, but was injured too seriously and was buried directly at the bottom of the lake without being rescued.

Now the child's soul felt that his parents had passed away. In order to let his parents die with peace of mind, they showed their bodies in the form of stone statues, so that the parents could fulfill their wishes and reincarnate with peace of mind.

From then on, every time the wild geese came in autumn, the doll statue in the center of the lake would disappear, and it would come out again in spring. Then the lake changed its name and was called Baby Lake. "

Qingyan and Yuanbao listened to the story with great interest, and then they communicated with Jin Yang and decided to stay here for a day and play for a day before leaving tomorrow.

They wanted to see what happened to the doll stone statue and why it disappeared in the autumn and then reappeared in the spring.

Is there really a doll's soul inside? Although this may be a legend, it's not like they haven't seen the appearance of souls before, and there are also some fantasy things, such as formations and the like.

Qingyan's spiritual consciousness can only see superficial things, and cannot see fantasy things. Jin Yang and Chou Chou can see them, but they have to go over and make observations. If their spiritual consciousness detects them, this distance Somewhat far away.

And Qingyan really wants to go fishing. She hasn't fished for a long time, so she can go fishing in Congzhu River.

Even if you can't catch any fish, you can just collect some into the space. The few fish she kept in the ring space were originally intended for viewing, but now they have grown very fat, weighing more than ten kilograms. Look. I want to eat them all. It would be better to get some fresh fish for a change, and put those plump fish in the Jinyang space. It would be better to put some smaller ones in her small pool, otherwise they will not be able to swim. .

Seeing that Qingyan and the others agreed to stay at home for one night, Aunt Xiao happily went to help clean up the house.

Li Laifu and Xiao Danniang were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, while Li Huier was coaxing Yuan Bao to play.

Fortunately, although the weather here is warm, Qingyan bought Yuanbao a thin hat, so there is no need to worry about it exposing its ears and revealing its identity.

Moreover, Yuanbao himself doesn't understand anything, he will also pay attention to it.

Qingyan went to help Aunt Xiao. After all, she was cleaning the house for them. She couldn't let the old lady do it alone.

Although the old lady here is really not old, she is not much different from her mother's age, she is just over forty years old. In future generations, she can only be regarded as middle-aged, but she is also an elder, right?

With Jin Yang here, the house has to be tidied up with two rooms. After all, Jin Yang wants to live in one room by himself.

It's not troublesome, it's easy to clean up, and it's pretty clean as usual. All you have to do is wipe the bed board, put on the bedding, and burn a charcoal basin to remove the moisture from the room.

Qingyan came over to help, and Aunt Xiao didn't stop her from doing it. She just praised her a few times, saying that she was quick at work and that she was very clever at first glance.

Qingyan was a little embarrassed to praise her. She may have a good mind, but she really wasn't very skillful, at least not a female celebrity.

Although Aunt Xiao felt that it was not good to let the guests do it themselves, she felt that if she refused hard, she would be a little out of touch. Since it was the house she wanted to live in, she could clean it up according to her own ideas and live more peacefully.

Moreover, they can also ask Qingyan about her preferences and whether she would like to put something in the house, make some incense, etc.

Of course Qingyan didn't need it. She might not sleep in this room at night, she might just go into the space, just to show off.

After the two of them had tidied up the house and the food over there was ready, they just came to call them over for dinner.

When they returned to the main room, the food was already set on the table and waiting for them.

Qingyan and Aunt Xiao washed their hands in the wooden basin nearby. After washing their hands, Aunt Xiao pulled Qingyan and sat on the main seat.

He said to them: "Come on, come on, try my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship. I am not praising you. My daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is one of the best in this town. You two, brother and sister, don't go outside. Just treat it as your own home. Like it." Whichever one is clamped?"

Then they gave Qingyan and Yuanbao each a chopstick of fish belly meat, and Li Laifu also gave Jin Yang a chopstick and poured a glass of rice wine.

The alcohol content of this rice wine is very low, it just has a wine taste, so it won't make you intoxicated after drinking it.

Qingyan thanked the three of them, picked up the fish and put it in her mouth. Well, it tastes really good. The fish is very simple to make, it is fried in oil, and the noodles are fried until golden. Add some The sauce is really delicious.

Qingyan and Yuanbao both squinted their eyes after eating, and asked Xiao Danniang how to cook the fish.

Xiao Danniang was very happy to be praised for her craftsmanship. While busy preparing dishes for Li Laifu, she told her the secret of frying fish.

"First of all, we need to heat the pan with cold oil and put some salt in the oil..."

Qingyan nodded while listening and wrote down what she said. Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Seeing that people used the simplest seasonings to make such delicious food.

There is also chicken soup, which looks very light but tastes very delicious. You can drink the soup and eat the meat. It is placed in a casserole with a small charcoal stove underneath, and you can also cook some vegetables in it.

Qingyan brought out the green vegetables. The tender ones were boiled in the soup and the older ones were stir-fried.

What Qingyan took out were the more common cabbage sums and celery, such as cucumbers and beans, but she didn't take them out.

The main reason is that we don’t have those here, and the seasons are wrong. Even in the south, vegetables don’t grow all year round. Vegetables and other vegetables are planted later and can still be grown in winter, but nothing else.

So Xiao Danniang fried a piece of cabbage sum, and then stir-fried celery and meat slices. She didn't know if it was because of the good sauce she put in, but Qingyan thought it was much more delicious than what they fried.

She didn't have the nerve to ask everyone how they made it. After all, apart from the seasonings, this thing all depended on the control of the heat.

The staple food is rice. The rice here is not as oily and delicious as the rice in the north. Because it is two-season rice, it is a little dry and sticky, and it is not as white as the rice of later generations. It is a comparison. Yellow.

However, the rice here is steamed in wooden barrels. As long as the water is put in just right, it is quite delicious.

Qingyan ate two large bowls of food in one go, and felt a little embarrassed afterwards.

While she was eating, she paid attention to Xiao Dan and her mother. When she saw them, they picked up vegetables and picked up a few chopsticks. They stopped eating after less than half a bowl of rice and left the fish untouched.

Even when Li Laifu served them chicken soup, they refused to drink it. This made Li Laifu look helpless and stopped eating after a bowl of rice.

Xiao Danniang kept picking up vegetables for him, and poured chicken soup into his bowl. In the end, he was stuffed with three bowls of chicken soup.

Because she wanted to give the cakes to Yuan Bao before, Qingyan thought that as long as she was a man, she would be nice to him. It seemed that she was just kind to her man, and she didn't even give Jin Yang and Yuan Bao a chopstick to eat.

Yes, people must only be nice to their own men. This is ancient times. If you are a man and treat others well, then you are not seeking death.

Qingyan glanced at Aunt Xiao, who didn't even look at her son and daughter-in-law. It was obvious that she was used to her daughter-in-law's style. She ate the food from the bowl without changing her expression and greeted them from time to time.
