Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

Chapter 230

Gu Mingdong stayed for a few more days, but no matter how he asked, Bai Lao still lived in a daze, and he didn't understand the words on the letter at all.

He had to give up temporarily.

Before leaving, he left the address and a wad of money: "If necessary, I can take care of him."

Fifth Sister accepted the address, but not the money: "This is what I need most now."

He added: "When I'm free, I'll take him to see you."

A long time after Gu Mingdong left, Bai Laocai woke up in a daze, and the first thing he said was: "Where is Junjun, where did he go?"

Fifth Sister's eyes turned red: "He went to find Shushu, and they will go home together."

She thought Bai Lao would make a fuss, but what she didn't expect was that Bai Lao was very calm, nodded and said: "Yes, they have a good relationship with each other, Shu Shu can't find Jun Jun, and Jun Jun won't go home."

He sat on the recliner and shook it, and the recliner made a creaking sound.

Gu Mingdong went all the way home, but went directly into the back mountain by detour.

Over the years, entering the back mountain is a familiar path for him, and he soon arrived at the location of the sapphire lake.

As soon as he stepped into this place, the surrounding air changed. As time passed, Gu Mingdong felt more and more that the colloidal air in this place was not an illusion.

He even once felt that the sapphire lake didn't disappear, it just became invisible, hidden in another latitude.

"Ho Ho Ho..." Human voices awakened Gu Mingdong.

Wu Laosan squatted in the mountain pit, his clothes were already a bit torn, and the neckline was covered with deep black blood stains. If you don't look at his erect eyes and sharp teeth, he is just a down-and-out middle-aged man.

Gu Mingdong approached the mountain pit and threw a sweet potato into it, which he picked randomly on the way.

Wu Laosan quickly reacted, grabbed the sweet potato and began to bite.

This is also different from the zombies in his impression. Zombies don't seem to be interested in things other than flesh and blood.

Gu Mingdong's eyes fell on Wu Laosan's forehead. The scar that was smashed there has completely disappeared. Even if the wound is so big and deep, even if it is treated in the hospital, it will leave a scar in theory, but it has completely disappeared now. .

This is another huge difference. After all, zombies are just walking corpses, and the wounds on their bodies cannot be recovered. It also proves that Wu Laosan is not dead.

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, Gu Mingdong couldn't figure out what happened that day to cause such a change.

The supernatural loathes Wu Lao San very much, and every time he comes over, he always bullies Wu Lao San several times, using its seemingly tender, but actually tough blade to beat Wu Lao San.

What surprised Gu Mingdong the most was that Wu Laosan seemed to be able to perceive invisible supernatural powers, and every time he either roared to resist, or shrank into a ball to dodge.

Why is this again?

Until now, except for the plants and the black mist, no one else could perceive the existence of supernatural powers.

If he couldn't figure it out, Gu Mingdong simply stopped thinking about it.

He tentatively entered the center of the sapphire, sat down cross-legged, and unfolded the letter to decipher it.

The ability abandoned the annoying Wu Laosan and returned to Gu Mingdong, bouncing on his shoulder curiously.

For the first time, the sapphire lake did not appear.

"It seems that I guessed wrong." Gu Mingdong sighed, got up and left.

The first spring rain fell, and Shanghe Village seemed to be bursting with vitality. It became green overnight. In the fields and on the hillsides, the flowers, plants and trees that had been silent for a winter could not wait to sprout buds.

The mountain forest contracted by Gu Mingdong has changed the most. The fruit trees that have been maintained for a winter have lived up to Gu Mingdong's expectations, and they are competing to sprout one by one.

The ability likes this piece of mountain forest it contracted the most. If one day Gu Mingdong is not willing to go up the mountain, he will hurry up and have a look.

The only downside is that the power is so cheerful that even the weeds under the fruit trees are flourishing.

Gu Mingdong went up the mountain and saw that the site under the fruit trees that had been cleared last year was now lush and lush, and he suddenly had a headache.

Looking down, the four puppies are fat and strong, each of them looks like a small meat ball. The supernatural ability likes to play from the forehead of one to the head of the other the most.

Knowing that the owner hates weeds, the little pup groaned fiercely and rushed towards a weed.

Soon, the weeds turned into a pile of debris, and the puppy rushed back triumphantly with green broken leaves at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Mingdong patted their little heads with a smile: "Good job."

After being praised, the four little guys became even more energetic, whining and whimpering endlessly, but it's a pity that their combat power is worrying, not as much as the weeds that Gu Mingdong cleared up with a hoe.

At this time, Gu Ting and Gu Bin went up the mountain with a basket: "Uncle Adong, we are here to help."

The four puppies heard the sound, and looked down with their ears up, making sure that it was the acquaintances who continued to bite the weeds. Occasionally, they ate something that tasted good, and spit it out if it was too bitter.

Gu Mingdong looked at them and smiled: "Okay, then help me pull the weeds together."

"Uncle Adong, these are edible wild vegetables, should you pull them out?" Gu Ting asked with her head tilted.

Gu Mingdong explained: "They grow here and will compete with fruit trees for nutrients, so we can't let them grow too much."

Gu Ting's eyes lit up, and she said, "Uncle Adong, can I invite everyone to pick wild vegetables together? The wild vegetables here are tender and fat, much better than those on the mountain over there."

Because of the recovery of the market economy, everyone in the production team knows that even wild vegetables in the mountains can be sold for money. Although the price of wild vegetables in spring is a bit cheaper, it may be good to change them for a dime or two.

With this in mind, the members of the production team swarmed across the border, but all the wild vegetables that were easy to pick disappeared.

But they were very measured, knowing that Gu Mingdong spent money to contract the forest, so they didn't come here.

After hearing this, Gu Mingdong said, "Yes, but only wild vegetables can be picked, and other fruit trees cannot be moved."

"Okay, I'll only call those obedient children." Gu Ting agreed, and ran down the mountain.

Soon, six or seven little carrot heads followed Gu Ting back.

Because there are many college students in the production team, everyone knows that college students will be assigned jobs after graduation and can also be cadres, so Shanghe Village is willing to send their children to study.

The older children were locked up in school to study, and now the ones who stay at home are at most six or seven years old.

But in the countryside, even children as young as six or seven can help out in the fields.

"Uncle Adong, can we really pick wild vegetables here?" one of the little girls asked.

The adults have said that the mountain top here has been contracted, and Gu Mingdong paid for it, and the children are usually not allowed to go up the mountain, so as not to be scolded at some point.

Gu Mingdong smiled and said, "As long as you don't touch the fruit trees, everything else is fine."

With Gu Mingdong's permission, a group of children cheered and immediately separated to pick wild vegetables.

The four puppies were a little excited, their ears pricked up because of the stranger's smell, their tails stopped wagging so diligently, and they didn't bite the weeds now, instead they spread out to stare at the new kid.

A child saw the puppy and liked it, and knelt down to pet it, but the puppy ran away.

When the children started digging wild vegetables, the little dog jumped up again, looking like a supervisor, which made people angry and funny.

Gu Mingdong glanced at Gu Ting's small basket, only to realize that there are quite a few of them on the top of the mountain. The most common shepherd's purse and Malantou are the most, as well as bitter herbs, water celery, and bracken.

Gu Ting is careful, and puts all the picked wild vegetables together neatly, sorting them into categories.

Gu Bin was far behind, and stuffed them into the basket in a swarm. The posture estimated that the upper ones were pressed down, and the lower ones were crushed.

The children who were called up were very obedient, even though a few of them saw the buds and were greedy, they didn't stretch out their hands.

Gu Mingdong looked at them for a while and saw that they were very sensible, so he walked away in peace.

Before the spring bamboo shoots spread, he had to dig a small ditch next to the orchard for isolation.

There are too many bamboos in Shanghe Village, which is a good thing and a bad thing. If you don't do this, when the bamboos start to grow in spring, they will always go beyond the limit uncontrollably.

There was an unexpected joy in digging ditches. After digging for a while, Gu Mingdong picked up a lot of bamboo shoots.

These bamboo shoots have not yet emerged from the ground, and the shells of the bamboo shoots are all tender white jade color. When you pinch the tender juice, it tastes great when used to steam meat.

When the sun was high and the dewdrops on the young leaves were drying, Gu Mingdong resisted his hoe and planned to go down the mountain.

The children's small baskets are already filled to the brim, which shows that it is a bumper harvest.

"Come here." Gu Mingdong beckoned.

A group of radish heads ran over, and Gu Mingdong divided up the dug bamboo shoots, so that everyone could have a handful: "Take them home to eat."

"Thank you, Uncle Adong." A group of children shouted happily.

"Uncle Adong, this is for you. Malantou salad is delicious." Gu Ting shouted with a smile.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Gu Bin immediately said, "Give mine to Uncle Adong, too."

"And me, and me."

Gu Mingdong had no choice but to refuse: "I have dug up too many wild vegetables these days, and I can't eat them all at home. You can take them home."

He wasn't talking nonsense, because the wild grass and vegetables on the mountain were too luxuriant, and Gu Yun went up to the mountain to help after school. After a few days, the wild vegetables in the house were too much to eat, and there were still a lot of wild vegetables to give away. Now the wild vegetables have begun to dry. .

Gu Mingdong strolled towards the house with a hoe on his shoulders. Four puppies surrounded him happily. Occasionally, two playful ones were led away by butterflies, and they would follow the big team after a while.

When Gu Yun and the others came home from school, they immediately cheered up when they saw the bamboo shoots.

Gu Yun gestured and said: [I'll fry it. 】

Different from the spring bamboo shoots, the whip shoots are more tender, but after digging the whip shoots, it will be difficult for the bamboo to spread, which will affect the growth of the bamboo, and it is also difficult to dig, so few people in the village will dig it on purpose.

Remove the tender shells, cut the whip bamboo shoots and put them in boiling water. After boiling them three times, they can be taken out directly. After passing through the cold water, pour them directly with the boiled scallion oil. Just mix them together, and the taste will be delicious.

Gu Mingdong also likes to eat it this way, and it retains the deliciousness of the whip shoots to a great extent.

On the other side, there is stewed meat with whipped bamboo shoots, which is different from ordinary salted fresh bamboo shoots. The tenderest whipped bamboo shoots are picked from the tender shoots and stewed directly with the meat cakes. Bite off your tongue.
