Chapter 116 Xiangyun Village, Xanadu?

After parting with Chen Shaobei, Chen Ye drove, and Shen Ningning took Jiang Zhi back to Xiangyun Village.

Before entering the village, Jiang Zhi was already a little surprised.

At the foot of the village entrance, there is a monument of meritorious deeds, and there is a large white stone archway at the entrance.

A plaque bestowed by the emperor himself is hung in the center.

Jiang Zhi raised her neck and sighed, "Your village is really famous."

Shen Ningning shook his head and smiled: "Everyone is still very united!"

She ran into the village with small feet. Along the way, there were villagers carrying water to water the loquat trees. Jiang Zhi looked at Shen Ningning and greeted them one by one.

When every villager saw Shen Ningning, the love that burst out in their eyes didn't seem fake.

It seems to be a very peaceful and peaceful village.

Shen Ningning called a child to stop.

"Xiaohu! Tell Aunt Liu a word for me. I'll let her come to my house to find me later. I'll ask her for help."

Liu Xiaohu wiped his nose: "I see, Miss Little Wolf."

Jiang Zhi walked a few steps forward along the village road, and after a while, her vision suddenly widened.

The fields are criss-crossed, and every house is covered with black tiles that are cold in summer and hot in winter. The fenced courtyard and the red paint on the wooden door look brand new in the past.

Every two steps, you can see the green loquat trees in the courtyard.

Children ran and played barefoot, and old people gathered in twos and threes to chat under the shade of the trees.

Jiang Zhi found that children from three years old to 88-year-olds all had ruddy complexions.

It doesn't look like a lack of food or water at all.

You know, what's going on outside Xiangyun Village.

The drought was severe, and the sun directly cracked the land, wishing that no grass would grow.

Many people were starving and emaciated, and corpses could be seen everywhere on the roadside.

In comparison, Xiangyun Village is like a paradise.

Shen Ningning took Jiang Zhi to the door of her village house, and took out two bunches of keys.

"Sister Jiang, here is the key to my house." Chen Ye was not there, so the little guy called her as usual.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Jiang Zhi saw the neat courtyard, the house was built tall, and the best tiles were laid.

She turned around and saw that it was a new house that she had never lived in.

"Sister Ningning," Jiang Zhi said a little embarrassedly, "Your house is so nice, I'd better go back to the city."

Shen Ningning stretched out her small hand and grabbed her: "You have nowhere to stay in the city!"

Seeming to see what Jiang Zhi was thinking, the little guy said Nuo Nuo: "Sister Jiang, don't worry, I didn't let you live for nothing."

When Jiang Zhi heard this, she really showed joy: "Is there anything I can do for you? Just say it!"

"Now is not the time, you settle down for now, you will be busy tomorrow." After Shen Ningning finished speaking, Jiang Zhi nodded.

There are two rooms in the village house, one is big and the other is small, so Jiang Zhi chose the smallest one.

The cabinet was full of clean bedding and pillows that Grandma Qin had made before, and Shen Ningning took them out for Jiang Zhi to use.

There are everything in the house, including candlesticks, tables and chairs, paper and pens.

Shen Ningning said: "It's just that the kitchen is too clean and there's nothing to eat. I'll bring the wolves over later and bring you some food."

Granny Chen's smiling voice came from the door: "Brother Jiang, if you don't want to cook in the future, you can eat at my place."

Chen Ye helped her into the yard, and it seemed that he had already told Granny Chen about Jiang Zhi's background.

Since they are friends of Shen Ningning, they are also friends of Xiangyun Village.

Shen Ningning introduced with a smile: "This is Granny Chen, Brother Chen is her son, and she is also your neighbor."

Jiang Zhi quickly clasped her fists in salute: "Hello, Grandma Chen!"

At this time, the crazy scholar leaned on a cane and walked over listening to the sound.

"Tu'er, Tuer." He called out, his eyes had just been covered with medicine, and they were still wrapped in white bandages.

Shen Ningning hurriedly ran over: "Master, why are you out again? The shopkeeper grandpa said that when you applied the medicine, your eyes couldn't see the strong light."

The crazy scholar is thin and thin, and he has a strong literati air when he smiles.

"I see that you haven't come to study for several days. Let me remind you that you have to come in the afternoon."

"Okay, okay, go home quickly, take good care of your eyes!" Shen Ningning's small figure helped the crazy scholar back.

When Shen Ningning came back, the old village chief came again: "Ningning, Ningning! There is something I want to ask you to make up your mind."

"Recently, Master Quan, a wealthy businessman in the city, celebrated his birthday and wanted to buy our loquat candies. He said that he would give an extra two taels of silver per catty, but he wanted us to give something along with him."

"I'm getting old, and I don't know what to give him. Think about it."

On Shen Ningning's round red face, there was thought.

"Well, ours is a small business, and he doesn't add much money, but giving things will gain a good reputation."

"This way, pick one hundred and eight loquat leaves and tie them up."

The number one hundred and eight, in Buddhism, means auspiciousness and the removal of troubles.

Not only that, Shen Ningning remembered: "Grandpa Village Chief, wait for me."

She quickly ran into the house with her little feet.

Jiang Zhi poked her head and watched her pull the pen and paper, sharpen the ink hastily, and write something eloquently.

She withdrew her gaze and happened to meet the old village chief's gaze.

"Hello, village chief!" Jiang Zhizhong greeted with enthusiasm.

The old village chief nodded slightly and smiled: "Ningning's friend, right?"

"Yes, I will be living here for a short time. If the village chief has any work that needs my strength, feel free to order me." After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, the old village chief said yes repeatedly.

Shen Ningning came out with a piece of paper and handed it over: "Grandpa Village Chief, this is how to use loquat leaves."

Last time, when the shopkeeper of the pharmacy came to treat the mad scholar, he asked her for some loquat leaves.

It turns out that loquat leaves can clear the lung qi, lower adverse reactions and stop vomiting. Cut into shreds and make porridge, or soak them in tea after drying, all can achieve the effect.

The paper given by Shen Ningning clearly stated how to use it.

Under the guidance of the mad scholar, her handwriting has improved rapidly, and she has a style of her own.

The handwriting is refreshing, the strokes are neat, and the spacing is neat.

The old village chief smiled happily, even praised the little guy for his intelligence, then turned around and arranged for his son Deng Jixiang to run errands.

Jiang Zhi originally thought that Shen Ningning could rest.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu came running again: "Ning Ning, I heard Xiao Hu say just now, why are you looking for me?"

Shen Ningning went out and explained something to her.

Jiang Zhi blinked her eyes, feeling a little emotional: "Sister Ningning, she is as busy as a village chief."

Make an agreement with Aunt Liu.

Shen Ningning reminded: "Auntie, let's make an agreement. I will drag the ingredients here tomorrow, and you will prepare them for me, and prepare a few big pots."

After finishing speaking, she took out a dozen taels of silver with her small hand and handed it over.

Aunt Liu smiled happily.

She is not someone who likes to take advantage, but she never likes to be disadvantaged.

If you want her to help for free, it depends on your mood, but Shen Ningning is sensible, and the little guy took the initiative to pay for the hard work before she could call her.

"No problem Ningning, you gave me so much money, Auntie can help you borrow all the cooking pots in the village!"

Aunt Liu smiled and walked away, carrying the money, beaming.

Shen Ningning turned around and saw Jiang Zhi looking at her.

"Sister Ningning, what are we going to do tomorrow?"

The little guy's smile faded, and he felt a little sad: "I want everyone in the capital to know that Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, and Brother Zuchang died by accident."
