Bang!
As the heavy iron plate was overturned, a damp and musty smell suddenly filled the air from the dark cellar.
Several villagers held their noses: "Damn it, such a stinky cellar can fart, you can't even know how to draft it in advance."
Wang Xiaofei was so nervous that he didn't even bother to pay attention to their yelling.
Although he didn't witness Lin Xiuxiu going down to the cellar just now, he saw her little hands lifting the iron plate before turning around.
And the newspapers on the wall looked untouched.
This means that there is a 99% chance that Lin Xiuxiu is hiding in the cellar.
In addition to a few baskets for peaches, there were only two small iron basins in the cellar. These objects could not hide anyone at all.
Unless Lin Xiuxiu took advantage of the gap just now to dig a tunnel and run out directly, she would definitely be caught.
By then, with Zhang Laowai's character, he would definitely go on a rampage in anger. Even if he didn't kill Wang Xiaofei, he would still have to skin him.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaofei's expression became more and more nervous, and his hands broke into a cold sweat.
And just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, the damp smell emanating from the cellar had also dissipated.
Bang~
One of the villagers pressed the flashlight switch, looked around and then jumped directly.
"How's it going? Is Xiuxiu in there?" Zhang Laowai asked urgently.
"No, there are only a few broken baskets and two iron basins that look like mushrooms down here."
Hearing this, Zhang Laowai and several other villagers looked suspicious.
"impossible?"
"We just found Lin Xiuxiu's wedding dress here, and we also heard the sound of someone walking on dry straw from the cellar. How come it disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Liu Laoer rolled his eyes: "Look carefully to see if there are any dark holes in the cellar. I remember that in the past two years, several villagers would dig on the sides of the cellar bottom in order to prevent potatoes from sprouting. It’s a cold pit.”
"good!"
The villagers below responded and started rummaging around with a shovel.
But after a long while, he still shook his head: "Second brother, except for a snake nest, there are no dark holes in this cellar, and there are a lot of dust and spider webs. It seems that except for the two iron boron positions, other areas have been empty for a long time. Been here."
"That's really weird." Liu Laoer looked puzzled.
Just now he saw Wang Xiaofei trying his best to cover up, and he was sure that Lin Xiuxiu must be hiding here. The reason why he didn't tell it was because he wanted to keep the 10,000 yuan.
And he helped Wang Xiaofei say good things so that he could get a piece of the pie afterwards.
But now, how come there is no one?
"Xiao Fei, what's going on?"
Wang Xiaofei was also a little confused.
Where is Lin Xiuxiu?
The iron plate was obviously lifted.
Could it be that she suddenly changed her mind and slipped out of the hole behind the newspaper?
But the newspapers on the wall showed no signs of damage.
"What the hell am I asking you? Where did you hide Lin Xiuxiu?"
Seeing Liu Laoer cursing, Wang Xiaofei suddenly sneered.
Although he didn't know where Lin Xiuxiu went, he was sure based on the scene at the moment that she was definitely not in the shack anymore.
Suddenly, the tense nerves relaxed.
After breaking free from the shackles of the villagers, he said sarcastically: "I ate her, she's still in my stomach."
"Cao Nima, I'm not in the mood to joke with you!"
"Cao Nima! I'm not in the mood to joke with you! I told you early in the morning that Lin Xiuxiu was not here, and it was you who kept chattering. Now that I haven't found her, why are you angry with me?"
"Xiao Fei, please clean your fucking mouth." Zhang Lao Wai was also very unhappy because it was all in vain.
But Wang Xiaofei didn't tolerate him at all, and shouted at the top of his voice: "You were the first to curse, and I didn't do anything wrong, so why can't I refute?
yes! You guys are all village tyrants in Xiangtao Village, but you can't be so arrogant and unreasonable, right? I, Wang Xiaofei, am very poor, but I am not a poor person. If I get anxious, I can drag two people behind me even if I die! "
"you……"
Zhang Laowai was also a little unreasonable. He glared at him angrily and then changed the subject: "Okay, since it's not here, let's look for it elsewhere."
Liu Laoer and others were very unhappy, but after all, they couldn't find any real clues, so they had to give up.
However, just as they were about to leave, Wang Xiaofei, who had taken a few glances at the cellar, suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute."
"What? Your conscience has discovered that you are ready to tell us the whereabouts of Lin Xiuxiu?"
"What the hell! You opened the cellar rashly and destroyed my treasure. You have to pay for it!"
"What treasures are there in the cellar?" Zhang Laowai asked the villagers who just went down to the cellar.
The villager scratched his head: "It's just a few broken baskets and two iron boron mushroom-like things, nothing valuable."
"My treasures are those two pots of mushrooms."
"How much is a broken mushroom worth? Besides, we just went down to the cellar and didn't break it for you."
"Open your eyes and take a look. Both pots of mushrooms have been knocked over and are now a pile of junk. Also, my mushrooms are not ordinary mushrooms. They are a new type of mushrooms I developed. They can not only be used as The ingredients also have great medicinal value."
Wang Xiaofei didn't lie, his ancestors were all Chinese medicine practitioners.
Although he was much more lonely in his grandfather's generation and no longer practiced medicine for a living, under the influence of those ancestral medical books, Wang Xiaofei had an unparalleled understanding of medical science and pharmacology.
Especially in pharmacology, he has been fond of studying it since he was a child, and often cooks with medicinal materials.
The reason why he has been so strong over the years and never gets sick from colds and coughs is also related to this.
As for the mushrooms in the cellar, he accidentally thought about it this year. After discovering that they had extremely high medicinal value, he thought of making them on a small scale first, and then selling them in the town when they were mature.
Not long ago, when he went shopping in the countryside, he met a boss who made medicinal diet. When he mentioned this mushroom, the boss was full of praise and immediately wanted to buy it at a high price.
But at this time, when he was about to be mature enough to be sold for money, he was ruined by these bastards. How could Wang Xiaofei not be angry?
But Zhang Laowai and others did not know this, and they did not believe that a poor son-in-law could produce valuable mushrooms.
He immediately mocked and said: "Aren't they just a bunch of broken mushrooms? I won't eat them for free. As for the bullshit medicinal value, it's even more ridiculous. This kind of mushroom is already very good without poisoning people, but it can also be used to cure diseases? You poor son-in-law, are you crazy about money and spreading hysteria here?"
"Fart, everything I said is true!" Wang Xiaofei was full of anger, but he also understood that these pharmacological knowledge were just talking to old men like them.
He simply changed the subject and said: "And these mushrooms were cultivated by my sister-in-law with me. If you don't believe me, don't you still believe her?"
Wang Xiaofei's sister-in-law is the head of Xiangtao Village.
Because he graduated from a prestigious university and took the initiative to return to the village for development, he was well taken care of by the township government.
Normally, people like Zhang Laowai would not dare to offend easily.
So when he heard that this matter was related to her, most of his arrogance immediately disappeared.
"Is this... this broken mushroom really valuable?"
"certainly!"
"Then...how much is it worth?"
"At least eight thousand yuan!!"
