Chapter 212
Grandma continued:
"Later, Grandma Xue met a corpse man."
Xia Ruoyan asked curiously, "What is a corpse man?"
"He is responsible for collecting corpses, carrying coffins, and doing things related to the dead. He was in his fifties and still couldn't get married. Later, I don't know how he got together with Grandma Xue, and as a result... the corpse man died not long after."
At this time, an autumn wind suddenly blew.
Chu Yang felt goose bumps all over the floor, and the quiet mountain village became mysterious...
However, Grandma Xue is a resident of Taohua Village after all, and as the village chief, she didn't know her existence.
"Then why doesn't she live in the village?"
"The villagers are very taboo. Her old house is in the village. Later, because the corpse man died in it, everyone was very scared. No one dared to associate with her, so she moved to Beiyun Mountain with her grandson."
Chu Yang was silent.
It turned out that this was the reason why everyone didn't want to go to Beiyun Mountain.
The so-called haunted house and the husband-killing are superstitions, but it will take time to change the traditional concepts of the villagers immediately.
"I didn't expect that Grandma Xue's life was so miserable." Xia Ruoyan said with emotion.
She suddenly said, "Why don't we go see her?"
Chu Yang was thinking the same thing, and smiled, "Aren't you afraid?"
Xia Ruoyan shook her head, "What's there to be afraid of?"
Grandma also smiled and said, "Now most villagers have accepted her. She comes to the village to sell tofu every day, but there are also gossipers who don't treat her well."
Chu Yang knew that it must be the woman from Tao Dagui's family.
After Grandma left, Chu Yang planned to find Grandma Xue's home.
This week, the system task he received was a special profession - geological prospector.
Geological prospectors travel through mountains and rivers, investigate and study rocks, strata, minerals, hydrology, etc., and look for wealth buried deep underground.
And Chu Yang also automatically learned relevant knowledge such as geology, surveying, and mineralogy.
Professional equipment such as drilling rigs, shovels, and prospecting instruments also appeared in the room.
Chu Yang put all these big guys in the space storage warehouse.
Currently, he has completed five special professional experiences: sunscreen worker, vegetable digger, green tea hunter, blasting engineer, and mecha master, and he is still halfway to completing the task!
Chu Yang and Xia Ruoyan's relationship has been made public.
He took her hand and went to Beiyun Mountain to explore the secrets.
Entering Beiyun Mountain, crossing the hills and coming to the mountainside.
Going further, it is a valley shrouded in clouds and mist.
A narrow path extends into the depths of the valley.
What is surprising is that although it is mid-October, there are green grass, flowers everywhere, streams flowing, and many small fish and shrimps.
The two squatted by the stream and scooped them with their hands, and they disappeared immediately.
Chu Yang was childish and stretched out his hand to scoop them several times, enjoying himself.
However, he felt that the water temperature here was a little higher than that of the stream water at the foot of the mountain.
"Little crab, do you smell the sulfur?" Xia Ruoyan suddenly asked.
Chu Yang sniffed his nose, "There is a smell, little white rabbit, look, there is a yellowish sediment under the stream! There must be a spring nearby!"
"Are you talking about hot springs?"
Chu Yang nodded, feeling very excited.
If there is a hot spring, there will be another tourism development project in the future!
However, because Xia Ruoyan was there, he couldn't take out the exploration equipment from the storage space.
After making a mark, he planned to come here alone in two days, which can be regarded as experiencing the professional tasks of a geological prospector.
The two continued to walk along the trail to the valley.
The smell of sulfur gradually disappeared, replaced by the faint fragrance of flowers.
They stopped until a quaint wooden house appeared in front of them.
Just as they were about to knock on the door, the rich fragrance of flowers suddenly became strong, making people feel refreshed and invigorated.
Is there a garden nearby?
Looking around, an old but warm voice came to his ears:
"Who are you?"
Chu Yang turned around and saw an old lady who was in high spirits.
"I am the grandson of Grandma Chu. Are you Grandma Xue?"
Grandma Xue laughed: "Oh, I heard from your grandmother that you are the new village chief, right?"
Chu Yang nodded and followed her into the house.
The two looked around curiously.
The wooden house was clean and tidy, with a stone mill in the middle and a small yard next to it where some dried vegetables were dried.
"I'm here to make some tofu, Grandma Xue, where is your grandson?"
Grandma Xue smiled and said, "Yunfeng is studying in the city and will not be back until the weekend. The tofu will have to wait a while. I'll scoop some tofu pudding for you to try first."
Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh:
An old lady raised her grandson to be a college student alone.
"Which university?"
"Badu University! He has good grades and got a scholarship!" Grandma Xue's words were full of pride.
Chu Yang and Xia Ruoyan looked at each other, what a coincidence!
"What's your grandson's name?" Chu Yang planned to find out when he had time."Baiyun Peak."
She scooped two bowls of tofu pudding.
Chu Yang took a sip.
Suddenly, the sweet and smooth feeling hit the taste buds!
It's so delicious!
And Xia Ruoyan was also enjoying it.
Grandma Xue took them to the back of the house again.
When the two saw the scenery in front of them, they were so surprised that their mouths couldn't close...
The endless sea of flowers suddenly appeared, colorful and gorgeous, with butterflies flying and bees dancing.
Except for peonies and roses, Chu Yang basically didn't know them.
But Xia Ruoyan was overjoyed, "Tulips, violets, chamomiles, cannas... They didn't wither in autumn, it's amazing! Beiyun Mountain is really a treasure land!"
"Does the baby like flowers?" Grandma Xue laughed.
Chu Yang explained: "She majored in agriculture, forestry and flowers."
Xia Ruoyan was surprised again as if she had found a treasure: "Oh! There is also a piece of aloe vera!"
At this time, the pleasant sound of water flow sounded.
Chu Yang looked up and saw a stream of water slowly flowing from the mountains into the valley, forming a clear pool.
The mountains in the distance were hazy, shrouded in the lingering smoke.
Chu Yang felt like he had come to a fairyland on earth!
He suddenly had an impulse!
He wanted to build a wooden house here...
Granny Xue brought two more wooden cups, and the two drank a sip, which was extremely sweet.
"Is it that pool of water?"
Granny Xue nodded.
"Use this pool of water to soak soybeans, and the tofu ground out is fresh and fragrant, without the smell of beans."
An old man and two young people sat and chatted, and Chu Yang was very curious:
An old man living alone, but planted so many exotic flowers and plants?
Chu Yang asked tentatively: "Grandma Xue, it's not convenient for you to live here alone. If you are willing to go back to the village, I will help you arrange it?"
Grandma Xue shook her head, "I'm used to it. I don't go anywhere."
The tofu was ready, and Chu Yang said goodbye to her, "Okay, I will come to see you often in the future."
On the way back, the two were very curious about Grandma Xue.
This old lady seemed to be a person with a story...
Xia Ruoyan looked at Chu Yang inadvertently, and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey! How come the pimples on your face are gone?"
Chu Yang reached out and touched it, isn't it!
These days, because of too much contact with Xia Ruoyan, but unable to vent hormones, some pimples on his face were caused by inflammation.
At this moment, they disappeared, and his face was smooth.
Could it be!
It has something to do with the pool of water just now?
This is really a treasure land...
