Chapter 40 Dead Man
After the fruit saplings were brought back to the Yin family, everyone felt that the seedlings would not survive. Even if they did, they would have to wait for several years to bear fruit. However, Yin Miao just smiled and temporarily placed the fruit saplings in the corner of the yard. , said to wait for the free time before planting.
The whole family thought that the things they brought back this time were exchanged for the three jade pendants that Xiao Xuan took out. Yin Zhenghong also went to thank Xiao Xuan solemnly.
In the back room, after seeing Yin Miao who entered the door, the parrot Xiangrui immediately spread its wings and flew back to Yin Miao’s shoulder.
Xiao Xuan, who was reading a book on the side, seemed a little sleepy. After hearing the sound in the room, he raised his eyelids and glanced lazily at the person who came.
Yin Miao was holding a plate of peach cakes and handed it to Yun Jiang, and whispered, “Thank you, my master, for me. You test the poison first, and I’m leaving.”
“Miss Yin is back.”
Hearing a clear voice coming from the room, Yin Miao, who was about to leave lightly, turned her head again: “Sorry, I woke up Young Master Xiao.”
Xiao Xuan seems to have changed his clothes again, at this moment he is wearing a dark blue plain robe, staring at Yin Miao with deep eyes and asked slowly:
“I don’t know how many silver taels that Miss Yin got today?”
How many silver taels did you exchange?
Yin Miao immediately understood that he was asking about the whereabouts of the three jade pendants, she pretended to be calm and said:
“Daddy and I have been bargaining with the pawnshop owner for a long time, and we only got six taels of silver in total.”
The corner of Yunjiang’s mouth twitched. It was a piece of suet white jade that was worth hundreds of taels. This girl Yin exchanged three pieces for six taels of silver?
Xiao Xuan just smiled and said, “Then thank Miss Yin for her peach cake.”
“You’re welcome.”
Yin Miao added another sentence when she was about to leave: “Young Master Xiao, don’t give us jade next time. People here don’t know much about goods, so it’s a waste.”
If you want to send it, you can send real gold and silver. Sending jade is just adding to her.
“What a waste, what a waste…” Xiangrui also added.
“Then… just follow what the girl said.”
Xiao Xuan said.
Yin Miao left the back room with auspicious satisfaction.
After Yin Miao left, Xiao Xuan ordered in a low voice, “Let someone go to all the pawnshops in the county to check if anyone has ever been a jade pendant.”
“Yes.” Yun Jiang responded, and then disappeared into the darkness…
…
At night, Yin Miao deliberately walked around the yard before entering the space from a corner of the backyard.
When she entered the space again, there were several fruit tree seedlings and some herb seedlings bought during the day at her feet.
After the middle-aged uncle who sold the saplings got a bucket of food, he gave Yin Miao all the saplings at hand, including the pear tree saplings, and the family did not count how many there were. Yin Miao brought in a few saplings at this moment and would not be discovered.
The crops grow fast in the space, but I don’t know if the fruit trees will mature faster. She really misses the taste of fruit.
After planting a few fruit seedlings and herbal seedlings, Yin Miao was about to listen to the system’s summary of her work today, but heard the auspiciousness in the space suddenly called out:
“Someone, someone, someone…”
? ? ?
Yin Miao looked at Xiangrui who was yelling in front of her with a puzzled face, who is there?
【Ding~ Cute Pet can tell if there are outsiders around after the host enters the space, and will remind you if any outsiders appear. 】
The system explained.
Is there such a useful function?
Yin Miao’s eyes lit up, but at the same time she was worried that she would just encounter people outside when she was out of space. After a while, Yin Miao tried to ask Xiang Xiangrui, “Is there anyone outside now?”
“No one, no one…” Xiang Rui cried.
“Your function is really useful, then you stay here for now, I’ll go out and take a look.”
Yin Miao did not dare to take Xiang Rui out, only one person appeared in the corner of the backyard.
The night was pitch black as ink, but Yin Miao was able to see the surrounding situation a little bit, probably because in the last life she was a power user with five sensitive senses.
There was indeed no one around quietly, only the sound of snoring coming from the window of the brick house not far away.
Yin Miao was about to walk towards her room when she saw a black figure in the front yard leap over their newly raised courtyard wall.
She was startled and frowned at the same time.
Who is that? It doesn’t look like family. After thinking for a moment, Yin Miao quickly followed.
The figure seemed to be heading towards Changling Mountain, and Yin Miao, who was already familiar with the route of Changling Mountain, followed closely behind.
Got it!
After the figure disappeared for a moment, Yin Miao saw a spark of light in the distant woods.
Who is it? Those firelights don’t look like just one person, but…many people?
Yin Miao moved towards the firelight along the shadows cast by the grass and trees. When she was about to approach the firelight, she squatted down gently and hid in a bush.
There were indeed many people in front. Yin Miao squinted for a while and felt that there were at least a hundred people there, but the man in the front was the one she had seen.
Xiao Xuan?
Yin Miao wondered, what is this guy doing?
Because of the distance and the fact that those people were not speaking loudly, Yin Miao could not hear what they were saying, but after a few minutes, the original hundreds of people disappeared quickly.
Just as Yin Miao was about to get up and leave, she heard a familiar voice: “Come out.”
“…”
Yin Miao’s body froze behind the bushes, is this talking about her? Shouldn’t it be her? Is there another eavesdropper like her here?
Yin Miao is very confident in her tracking skills.
“Since the girl is here, there is no need to hide.”
said the voice again.
girl?
Was the other eavesdropper also a girl?
Yin Miao was lowering her head and thinking to herself, but saw a shadow cast beside her, she looked up, and Xiao Xuan stood with his arms and hands and looked down at her squatting behind the bushes.
“…”
Yin Miao felt a sense of shame, she was discovered by the ancients?
The last world is really a waste of time!
“Miss Yin’s kung fu is good, but this tracking skill needs to be practiced again.”
Xiao Xuan’s voice was indistinguishable from anger and anger.
“That’s true, it’s time to practice.”
Yin Miao embarrassedly admitted.
didn’t seem to expect that Yin Miao would take over her sarcasm like this, Xiao Xuan said after a while, “Let’s go, it’s time to go back.”
“it is good.”
Yin Miao obeyed obediently.
The two were walking down the mountain one after the other. The night air in the mountain was cool and humid, but Yin Miao couldn’t help but curiously asked, “Those people just now… I don’t seem to have seen them in the village?”
“They are the dead men trained in my house, and Miss Yin has never seen them.”
To Yin Miao’s surprise, Xiao Xuan actually directly admitted the identities of those people.
“Oh…then what do they usually eat?”
Yin Miao asked again, the dead man is also a human being, but there is no novel or TV series about how the dead man lived.
