After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

What Wu Laosi said was reasonable. Wu Lichang could not refute it and only warned him: "Anyway, I should restrain myself. Even if you have to pretend, you have to do it for three years. Otherwise, if the secret is exposed, it will ruin things for the adults." Your whole family needs to disappear!”

As the saying goes, if you want to destroy a family, the magistrate, or the county magistrate, if you want to destroy a family in the village, you don't need the help of the county officials. Their subordinates can just pick up a case and then report it to the official to sue the family. Convict this family and exterminate them!
"I know." Wu Laosi was a little unhappy after being scolded all the time. He glanced at Wu Lizhang and said: "Uncle Wu should worry about himself. At such an old age, don't go too far, otherwise your reputation will be ruined for the rest of your life. It’s all gone.”

After saying this, he bowed his hands and left.

Wu Lichang was so angry that his eyes looked murderous, but he could not touch Wu Laosi. He could only hold back his anger and quickly said: "Buy some gifts and send them to the Huang family. Remember, you are the Huang family's uncle, so you must be more attentive! "

Wu Laosi didn't respond, he just waved his hand to show that he understood.

Seeing that Wu Li was unhappy, Er Shuan hurriedly brought Huang Xianiang, glared at Huang Xianiang, and warned her to go and appease Wu Li.

Huang Xianniang was worried about her sister and wanted to ask about the Wu family. She helped Wu Lichang into the house and used the methods she had learned recently to serve him well. Taking advantage of his happiness, she asked: "Master, Wu How is the character of Wu Laosi in the family? Is he reliable? I only have Cainiang as my younger sister, and I don’t want her to suffer."

"Don't you want her to suffer?" Wu Lizhang smiled, looked at Huang Xianniang and said, "Don't worry, after entering the Wu family, her life will be more comfortable than yours."

Huang Xianniang didn't quite understand and wanted to ask again, but Wu Lichang stopped answering.

She could only try her best to please Wu Lichang, hoping to use the influence of Wu Lichang's family to support her sister so that her sister could live a better life in the Wu family.

……

After Wu Laosi left Wujiacun, he waited on the roadside for half an hour. Finally, a mule cart from a Zhoujiacun driver arrived. He paid for the ride to the ghost village and knocked on the door of Huangzhai at the head of the village.

"Uncle, it's my uncle who's here!" Huang Wu came to life and hurriedly called Huang Guilu: "Brother Lu, hurry up and pack up and go see your uncle."

Then he hurriedly stopped Huang Laoer's family, glared at them and said, "This is my uncle, don't try to argue with him."

After hearing this, Huang Lao's second daughter-in-law returned to the house without opening the door.

Mrs. Huang Wu was then happy and urged Huang Guilu to open the door. After dressing up Huang Cainiang, she took Huang Cainiang to see Wu Laosi: "Sir, Cainiang is here... Cainiang quickly salutes to you."

Wu Laosi was not interested in Huang Cainiang. He only glanced at it and said: "As a family, there is no need to be polite...take me to see the village chief Qin first. Now that I have entered the village, if I don't go to see the village chief, I will be criticized. Etiquette.”

He also specially ordered Huang Laoer: "Second uncle, please accompany me."

What?
Mrs. Huang Wu was a little confused. Why did my uncle get so close to the second son's family?
She quickly pulled Huang Guilu over and said, "Uncle, this is Brother Lu, your brother-in-law, let him take you to the Qin family."

Wu Laosi disliked Huang Guilu's body, which was as thin as a fire stick, and said, "He has committed a crime. How can he go to the village chief's house? It's better for my second uncle to accompany me."

After saying that, without waiting for Huang Wu to say anything, he went to invite Huang Lao Er: "Second uncle, please take this junior to see Village Chief Qin."

Seeing that Huang Lao Er was too slow to agree, he immediately took action, took Huang Lao Er's arm and left.

Huang Lao Er was a little uncomfortable, but thought it was better to make friends than to make enemies, so he led the way for Wu Lao Si.

But when he arrived at the west entrance of the village, he said: "Fourth Master Wu, please wait here while I go to Village Chief Qin's house to say something. After all, it is a sudden visit. It would be inappropriate not to say something."

Wu Laosi was unhappy, but his superiors told him not to cause trouble now and to make good friends with the Qin family. He could only agree: "Okay, uncle, go ahead and I'll wait here."

A quarter of an hour later, Huang Laoer came back: "Fourth Master Wu, come with me."

Did the Qin family agree to his visit?

Wu Laosi was very happy and followed Huang Laoer to his old house in the west of the village. But as soon as he arrived at the house, he was stricken by the smell of body odor.

Finally ignoring the stench, he put on a smile, handed over his purse, and said to Grandpa Qin: "Village Chief Qin, I am Huang Cainiang's fiance. I came to the village for the first time today, and I came here to visit... This is a meeting gift, please You accept it."

Grandpa Qin said with a smile: "Fourth Master Wu is too polite, sit down."

Then Xiao Gu brought a plate of arrowroot powder cake: "It's hot, it's best to eat this cool arrowroot powder cake."

But before Wu Laosi could eat, he started to feel itchy. He endured it again and again, but he couldn't hold it anymore and started scratching himself.Huang Laoer asked hurriedly: "Fourth Master Wu, what's wrong with you? But it's hot and you have prickly heat? Or are you infected with itchy insects?"

"I don't know, I just suddenly felt itchy..." Wu Laosi scratched his calves and arms until there were bleeding marks. After a while, he finally said: "It's so itchy. Second uncle, take me back to take a bath. Hurry!"

"Village Chief Qin, I'll take him back first." Seeing that he was itching badly, Huang Laoer could only help him away.

But the strange thing is that not long after leaving the west side of the village, Wu Laosi stopped itching.

"Second uncle, I'm not itchy anymore." Wu Laosi thought of the evil things in the ghost village, and then looked back at the path leading to the west of the village, as if a deep ghost mouth was about to swallow him, and he was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. He said hurriedly: "Second uncle, go quickly, go quickly!"

This village in the west is too evil. If he doesn't leave, he is afraid that he will be dragged into being a scapegoat.

However, he would suddenly itch and suddenly get better, all because of Qin Xiaomi's itching medicine.

From that day on, Wu Laosi did not dare to go to the west of the village again.

However, he would still wander around the village and look at the land. After marrying Huang Cainiang in June, he would give money to the Huang family and buy land in the ghost village at a low price in the name of his uncle's filial piety to the in-law family.

……

Soon it was early June, and Qin Xiaomi and the others took stock again and calculated the net profit.

Qin Cunquan: "The weather is getting hotter. This arrowroot powder cake has the effect of relieving the heat and is selling well... Throughout May, we made a net profit of 37 taels and [-] yuan. Except for the fifth uncle's house, the other eight families, Each family can get two hundred cents."

After hearing this, everyone was very happy: "Although it can't be compared with the first ten days, I can earn two taels of silver a month. This kind of income is like smoke coming out of the ancestral graves!"

Qin Liupo has always been greedy, so she said: "With only two taels of silver, I can only live hand to mouth. I can't even buy a piece of red cloth."

The ancestors were still not very good at it. If they wanted to smoke, smoke a big one. If they smoked twice, they still had to live a tight life.

Then he laughed at Qin Xiaomi: "Girl Xiaomi, didn't you say you wanted to dye the red cloth with weeds and make a wedding dress for pears? Why don't you do it? The weeds are almost growing in front of your house, don't you think they are not lush enough?"

Qin Xiaomi really wanted to silence her, and said, "You don't need to remind me, I'm going to go up the mountain to find weeds tomorrow, but if I really make red cloth, I don't want Six Po to share the pie."

Grandma Qin Liu pretended not to understand, and pulled Grandma Qin to talk about buying meat.

Qin Xiaomi rolled his eyes at her back and stood up to hide her private money.

……

The next day, just after dawn, Jiang Dalang came to her carrying the things he had brought into the mountains: "Xiaomi, I will accompany you into the mountains... It's hot, and all the snakes in the mountains are out. I will go with you, and I can help you kill snakes."

This reason was completely unacceptable, so Qin Xiaomi agreed: "Sure."

Grandma Qin explained: "Don't run into the deep mountains. If you find your weeds in the shallow mountains, it will be... Dalang, keep an eye on her."

Jiang Dalang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Grandma Qin, I will protect Xiaomi and not let her take risks."

Qin Xiaomi was helpless: "Grandma, the weeds I'm looking for are on the side of the mountain road. You don't have to go into the mountains, so don't worry."

She did not lie. Half an hour later, she stood on the side of the back mountain trail, pointing to the lush weeds along the way and said: "Xiaogu, Erlang, Mao Ge'er, Sheng Ge'er, these are the kind of weeds. When they are uprooted, their roots Can dye red.”

Qin Xiaogu recognized this kind of weed and said, "Sister Xiaomi, is this Lala rice seedling? Can it dye red?"

Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Yes, because it is not only called Lala Yang, but also called Madder and Blood Grass."
