Auntie Zhang's house did not have a TV on demand, nor did it have so many strange toys, so the little fellow lost interest after sitting for a while. She began to wander around.
The little fellow wanted to go out and play, but when she stood at the threshold and looked at the large field outside the house, she curled her lips and stopped.
She didn't dare to go …
In Trump's words, it was her first time here, and she hadn't even warmed up the territory yet. Of course, she didn't dare to go anywhere.
The little fellow put one hand on the door and the other hand flipped the corner of her clothes. That pitiful little look was somewhat like a resentful wife waiting for her husband to return from work.
Qin Ruoying was helping Cai Shuqin clean up the kitchen. When she came out and saw the little fellow's back, she immediately went to Chen Xi and gently touched him.
Chen Xi certainly understood what she meant, so after a slight smile, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged the little fellow from behind.
The little fellow exclaimed. When she turned around and saw that it was her father, she couldn't help but pout.
Before she could speak, Chen Xi asked with a smile, "Niannian, mom and grandma are tidying up the house. Dad will take you out to play, okay?"
Hearing this, the little fellow turned her head and glanced at the surrounding environment, then muttered in a low voice, "It's not fun here …"
"Why is it not fun? It's just that you're still young and haven't seen those fun things! Let's go, dad will take you to see it! "
After that, Chen Xi carried the little fellow and walked directly to the bamboo forest.
It was noon now, and the sun was very bright, but once they entered the bamboo forest, there was still a chill in the air.
This bamboo forest was quite old, and the branches and leaves were very lush, so much so that it blocked a lot of the sun, looking a little gloomy.
Cold and wet places had always been unfavored by mammals, so the little fellow's first reaction was to want to leave.
Chen Xi sensed her fear, so he patted her back, and then released a strand of Zhen Yuan.
Under the True Essence, the little fellow immediately had a warm and comfortable feeling, which also gradually calmed her slightly trembling little body.
The bamboo forest was not very big, and one could see the end of it at a glance.
After Chen Xi brought her into the bamboo forest, he placed the little fellow on the ground.
Because very few people would come here, the fallen bamboo leaves had piled up layer after layer. Stepping on them would immediately make a rustling sound.
Since the beginning of the new year, the sun had been shining continuously for several days. Therefore, when the little fellow stepped on the ground, the pile of withered leaves began to creak.
This made her feel a little interested, so she stepped on it and started jumping around.
Seeing that she was no longer afraid, Chen Xi led her to a mother bamboo, then squatted down and said to her, "Niannian, Daddy will teach you how to dig winter bamboo shoots, okay?"
"Winter bamboo shoots? What is it? "
"This is it."
As Chen Xi talked to her, he plucked a tree branch and started digging on the ground.
He didn't even have to dig a few times before he dug out a yellowish object from the ground.
This thing had a sharp head and a big butt. In terms of shape, it was somewhat similar to Bao Gu. It was wrapped in a thick shell.
This was winter bamboo shoots.
Winter bamboo shoots were also a characteristic product of the south. They were the most abundant in January and February every year. They had the reputation of "Golden Clothes and White Jade, the best among vegetables". Because they had not been unearthed yet, the winter bamboo shoots were tender and white like jade. It was the most common side dish at banquets when cooked with meat.
For example, the famous Hua Xia bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat …
Digging winter bamboo shoots was actually very simple. Tender bamboo would not grow bamboo shoots. The darker the color, the older the age. Generally, one should not choose too tender or too old.
After selecting the bamboo, you can observe it from below. Whenever you see a slight bump in the ground or a loose crack, you can use your feet to lightly step on it. If the ground is not firm and has a soft feeling, it is a sign that there are bamboo shoots.
Chen Xi briefly explained to the little fellow, and then handed the tree branch to her.
Digging bamboo shoots required a small hoe, but Chen Xi could not find a hoe for the time being, so he could only secretly use his Zhenqi to loosen the soil for her when the little fellow was digging.
Under the guidance of Chen Xi, the little fellow chose a new bamboo and began to dig below.
After digging a few times, she felt that the tree branch seemed to have touched something. Her eyes could not help but brighten, and she dug harder.
Sure enough, when she dug around the hard thing and dug out the surrounding soil, a winter bamboo shoot buried in the soil finally appeared in front of her eyes.
"Papa! I dug it out! I dug it out! "
After the little fellow pulled the winter bamboo shoot out of the ground, she did not care about the mud on it, grabbed the winter bamboo shoot and waved it excitedly.
But at this moment, an accident suddenly occurred.
The little fellow held the winter bamboo shoot in front of Chen Xi as if she was presenting a treasure.
Just as Chen Xi took the winter bamboo shoot with a smile and was about to put it away to make bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat for the little fellow later, the little fellow's eyes suddenly drifted to the low slope in front of the bamboo forest.
Following which, she was so frightened that her hands started to tremble. Suddenly, she started to cry loudly!
Chen Xi hurriedly hugged the little fellow into his arms and comforted her, and then looked back with a livid face.
There was a person behind them.
Chen Xi knew about the arrival of this person, but he thought that the other party was a villager here, so he did not pay attention to him.
But he did not expect that after seeing this person, the little fellow was so scared that she burst into tears …
A mistake!
Because there was no Divine Sense, Chen Xi could only perceive with his five senses.
After hearing it, he did not look back.
When he turned around, he finally understood why this person was able to scare the little girl to tears.
It was a woman.
An old woman whose specific age could not be determined.
Her face was haggard, and her hair was silver. She looked like an ordinary old lady.
But what was truly shocking was her attire.
This old woman was wearing a brightly colored old-fashioned wedding robe. It was bright red, as dazzling as a young girl who was about to get married.
The withered old woman was wearing a bright red wedding robe, and there was an indescribable strangeness about her.
Chen Xi's expression turned cold. After picking up the little fellow from the ground, he gently pressed the little fellow's head into his arms.
Then, Chen Xi's figure suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the old woman.
Chen Xi did not stand on ceremony. With one hand holding the crying little fellow, he directly slapped the old woman's head with the other!
However, after Chen Xi's slap, the old woman did not dodge, as if she did not see it.
Her gaze was dull, and she was probably either retarded or stupid.
Chen Xi did not want to hurt her, but wanted to see her condition.
As expected, she was just an ordinary old woman.
The only difference was that she had lost her Yang Soul.
The little fellow's cries were very loud, and the moment she started crying, it had already alarmed Aunt Zhang in the room.
Aunt Zhang quickly ran out of the room.
When she came to the courtyard and looked at the bamboo forest, Chen Xi had already returned to his original spot with the little fellow, and looked at the old woman from afar.
