Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

Chapter 67 Catching Cultists Lemongrass Grilled Fish



Mao Xi informed Mu Zhiyuan and Lu Da about what Mo Xia said about someone in Beidu trying to kill Mu Zhiyuan.

Lu Da asked for leave from Mao Xi and went to Beidu with Mu Zhiyuan to search for clues.

A few days after Lu Da left Liujia Village, Wang Xianren, who was driven away from Wujia Village, recently arrived in Liujia Village and began to treat the villagers for free.

Lu Da told everyone about Immortal Wang's deception on the day of the temple fair. Sure enough, within a few days, Aunt Baozhu ran to Shu Xi's house and encouraged the Chen family to join the White Flower Sect with her.

Mrs. Chen knew that Immortal Wang was a charlatan and wanted to persuade Aunt Baozhu, but she couldn't listen.

Ten days after Wang Xianren came to Liujia Village, the village began to be "haunted" one after another.

People often hear ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night and see black and white impermanence asking for their lives.

After a few times, more and more villagers joined the White Flower Sect and gradually abandoned farming.

"Auntie, I think I need to talk to Li Zheng. This Immortal Wang is a charlatan. If this continues, our village will become like Wujia Village. What should we do?"

Mao Xi was a little worried, but now that Lu Da and Mu Zhiyuan were away, Lou Lan'er was the only one who knew some martial arts.

"Ah Xiao, I heard from Aunt Shen that Li Zheng was a fool and joined the White Flower Sect. I'm afraid it's not that easy to convince him! Let's wait until Lu Da comes back." Mrs. Chen was afraid that her daughter would suffer if she went alone. .

Mao Xi also felt that one more thing would be better than one less thing. When Brother Luda came back, he would directly drive away the old man. It would not be too late to report to the official, so he could sleep peacefully.

Unexpectedly, at midnight, her doorstep was also haunted.

"哐~哐哐~哐哐哐!" The knock on the door sounded intermittently, and then the shadow of a life-seeking ghost swayed outside the house. The younger brother and sister were so frightened that they cried. Mrs. Chen hugged them tightly and huddled at the foot of the bed.

Mao Xi took a wooden stick and walked to Loulan'er's window. She fell asleep soundly and soundly, completely unaffected by the ghostly knocking on the door.

She entered Lou Lan'er's house and shook her awake.

"Hush! Sister Lan'er, it seems that Wang Xianren's disciple is playing tricks at the door. Let's go out together and catch him."

When she heard that the Baihua Cult member was going to be arrested, Lou Laner suddenly woke up.

The two of them saw the door being opened, and a long ghostly shadow was cast in the yard, with its tongue dragging on the ground, which was very scary.

Lou Lan'er flew from the eaves to the retreat of the "two life-seeking ghosts", while Shu Xi rushed directly to the door and outflanked them.

The two men were dressed in black and white impermanent clothes. One was holding a candle in his hand, and the other was holding a pig's tongue in his mouth. When the candle was illuminated, the ghostly figure came to life.

Lou Lan'er and Shu Xi took sticks and beat the two pretenders severely. The sound alerted the neighbor Chun Sheng's family. Chun Sheng stepped forward to help and, together with Lou Lan'er, tied the two to the trunk of the big banyan tree in the village.

The next day, when the villagers saw that these two people were the two disciples of the Immortal Wang, they were dressed in ghost clothes and had pig tongues at their feet. Everyone understood that the White Flower Sect was the originator of the pretense of gods and ghosts. They all spurned them and rushed to that place. Wang Xianren's residence, he was arrested together and reported to the official.

Lu Da and Mu Zhiyuan returned to Liujia Village from Beidu. They were surprised when they heard about Lou Lan'er and Shu Xi's feat of "catching ghosts" in the middle of the night.

"Ah Shu, Lou Lan'er, you just caught the ghosts with your bare hands and sticks, aren't you afraid of ghosts?" Mu Zhiyuan asked.

"Sister Lan'er knows martial arts, I won't be afraid as long as she's here!" Shui Xi wasn't afraid of ghosts. She had known that it was all pretended by Wang Xianren's disciples, and she thought she hadn't hit him hard enough with the stick that day.

When Lu Da heard that the charlatan had been exposed, he was very happy and said: "If I were here, I would definitely beat the shit out of them, hehe!"

Mu Zhiyuan was a little worried: "Ah Shu, with your body, if you encounter a thief again in the future, don't be impulsive!"

Mrs. Chen felt a little uneasy. Lou Lan'er and Lu Da were from the martial arts world and had their own martial arts skills to protect themselves. My daughter likes to see rough roads. If she encounters a strong man, she may be the one who suffers.

Mu Zhiyuan seemed to see Chen's worry. He stepped forward and said, "Aunt Chen, you can let Lou Lan'er teach Shui Xi, Xiaodouzi, and Ajiao how to practice martial arts in self-defense in the future, so that they won't be afraid of thieves in the future."

"Practice martial arts to strengthen your body and defend yourself. Ah Shu, from now on you and your brothers and sisters will learn some self-defense techniques from Lou Lan'er. Don't be impulsive in your future actions."

"Auntie, I know!"

Mao Xi was not interested in kung fu. She still liked to study cooking to earn money, but in order to make her old mother not worry, she still agreed.

As soon as Ajiao heard that she wanted to learn martial arts, she picked up the bamboo sword Lu Da gave her, ran to Lu Da and said, "I want Daniel to teach me!"

"Okay, follow me on horseback tomorrow, hehe! Don't cry tired then, little girl!"

The next morning, Lou Lan'er got up early and said she wanted to catch Xiao Douzi and Ma Xi. Shu Xi made an excuse and said she wanted to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, so she took the little spirit rat and Dahuang to the back mountain.

Xiaodouzi and Ajiao then started learning martial arts every morning.

The back mountain is a treasure. With the help of the little spirit rat "Bamboo Tube", Mao Xi successfully found several growing spots of wild fungi, dug a bunch and put them in the space, and then went to the Savage Valley area to dig for Ganoderma lucidum and Dendrobium. .

Today she went to look for Shijian Waterfall again. Mao Xi didn't bring roasted sweet potatoes today, so she took a roasted naan she had with her and ate it. She took a rest and also fed the little rats and rhubarb.

She climbed along the stone steps beside the stream to the top of the waterfall wall, and uprooted a few lemongrass plants to take home and plant.

There was a smell of grilled fish in the air, with a hint of lemongrass aroma.

She followed the source of the scent, and found that it was coming from a hot spring that was unlike any other in the world.

Beside the hot spring in the cave, a man was grilling some fish, sprinkling chopped lemongrass on the fish from time to time. Panda Huahua squatted next to the man, licking her tongue.

"Grilled fish with lemongrass?!" Ma Xi shouted excitedly.

The man turned around and was a little surprised: "Girl, your nose is really sharp!"

Mao Xi ran to the hot spring and squatted down to watch him grill the fish: "It smells so good. Brother, the lemongrass is right over the waterfall. I even picked some!"

"Hahaha! I didn't expect that people from Liujia Village also know "lemongrass grilled fish"! "

Mao Xi took a bamboo branch from the man's hand and grilled the fish with him.

The crucian carp was cut in half, and the fleshy side was covered with spices. The fish body was wrapped in lemongrass and tied between two bamboo branches.

As the flames roasted the lemongrass, it gave off bursts of lemon-like fragrance. Mao Xi sniffed it and blurted out: "Lemongrass, galangal, onions, garlic, coriander."

"You girl, you have a pretty good nose! You can even smell coriander!"

The man felt that he and Ma Xi were very close, and the two started chatting about how to grill fish.

"Brother, may I ask if you lived here in seclusion before?" Shui Xi saw that Huahua was quite familiar with him. This eldest brother didn't seem like a passerby.

"My real name is Mo Feng. I used to live in seclusion here. I planted the grapes in this cave myself. Some time ago, I went to Wuzui Mountain to visit my friends and then came back."

"Are you Mo Feng? Is your sister called Mo Xia?"

"Do you recognize my sister?"

Mo Feng stood up, walked to Huahua, broke some fish meat and fed it to him.

"Huahua took me to the bamboo forest, and I dug out your wooden box. Later, by chance, I met Mo Xia again, so I gave her the letter. She has now brought the wooden box home and said she wanted to show it to her mother-in-law. .”

"I was here to meditate and write my manuscript quietly. Now that Amei is here, I will go home first." After Mo Feng finished speaking, he gave all the grilled fish to Mao Xi.

"You want to leave now?"

"I was planning to go home. I stopped by to see an old friend. From now on, I will water the grapes in this cave. Please water them for me."

After Mo Feng finished speaking, he touched Huahua's head.

Before leaving, he told Shu Xi all the grape growing methods and precautions, packed his bags and left.

Huahua and Mao Xi see each other all the way until Mo Feng leaves the Savage Valley.

Huahua rubbed her head against Miao Xi, and her mouth watered as she smelled the grilled fish in her hand.

"Okay, okay~ I'll give you the rest of the grilled fish!"

Huahua licked her tongue, grabbed it with one palm and started to feast on it.
