Yan Wuyou was happily overseeing the work at the edge of the pond, directing the digging of lotus roots. A maidservant followed the princess closely, carefully holding an umbrella for the princess to block the dazzling sunlight.
Because of the cold weather, Yan Wuyou did not let the servants go into the water. He only asked them to borrow agricultural tools to dig and salvage on the shore or in small boats.
After half a stick of incense, the palace servants finally dug and salvaged the clean lotus roots.
Because Yan Wuyou discovered that the lotus roots that had been exposed to the sun for a long time began to emit black energy in strands!
The energy emitted into the air gradually dissipates without a trace under the sunlight!
"I have collected enough for today. Let's quickly carry the lotus roots in baskets to the pavilion to prevent them from being exposed to the sun again, and then plant the lotus roots purchased today."
Yan Wuyou was distressed by the dissipation of energy and hurriedly shouted to give instructions.
"No!" The palace servants, who had their sleeves rolled up high and their hands turned red from the cold water, responded excitedly when they heard the sound!
The servants quickly packed the lotus roots into baskets, landed them ashore, carried them to the pavilion, and then planted the purchased lotus roots back in their original positions.
"You guys will step back and let the cook prepare some ginger soup for you guys to keep you away from the cold." Yan Wuyou said calmly and waved his hands slightly.
"Nuo!" The palace servants who bowed their hands and bowed in unison echoed, then took their farm tools and left the garden.
Yang Fan and two close subordinates were left in the pavilion to help break the lotus root joints, while Yan Wuyou was full of energy and happily pulling the black lotus root threads from the broken lotus roots...
After the lunch break, Qin Yaofang came to see her daughter-in-law who was happy to miss Shu, and she felt very happy!
Soon he joined in to help break the lotus root knots. Yan Wuyou was worried that her mother-in-law would catch the cold and refused to let her go, but her mother-in-law insisted and saw that her mother-in-law didn't behave strangely when taking the lotus roots, so she followed her mother-in-law.
Qin Yaofang saw that her daughter-in-law could not keep up with the lotus roots, so she started to help extract the black lotus roots.
"Mother-in-law, do you feel unwell?" Yan Wuyou saw her mother-in-law touching the black lotus root silk and quickly reached out to hold her mother-in-law's cold hands and asked worriedly.
"...No, why?" Qin Yaofang asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"This lotus root is bone-chilling and cold, and the lotus root silk is even worse. Are you really feeling unwell?" Yan Wuyou asked again worriedly.
"It's absolutely true, my mother-in-law never deceives her heart." Qin Yao said with a loving smile.
Yan Wuyou looked up at Yang Fan and the three of them suspiciously, and found that their hands were red and a little swollen from the cold. Yan Wuyou cast a doubtful look at Yang Fan.
"...I'm reporting back to the princess, this lotus root is just like ice cubes." Yang Fan answered the princess's eyes clearly.
Yan Wuyou lowered his head and looked at his mother-in-law's hand. Although it was cold, there was no sign of redness or swelling.
"Teacher Yang, go and ask the two maids to come over and break the lotus roots." Yan Wuyou ordered thoughtfully.
"No!" Yang Fan led the way and found two maids to help break the lotus root festival.
"How do you feel? Tell the truth." Yan Wuyou asked the maid who had broken off several sections of lotus root and extracted the black lotus root silk.
"Reporting to the Princess, this lotus root is bone-chilling, and the lotus root silk is even worse." One of the maids responded weakly, shaking her red hands.
"I understand, please step back." After Yan Wuyou finished speaking, he continued his work of spinning.
"No!" the two maids responded and left.
Yang Fan and his two confidants looked at the leaving maid and felt envious! Who made him a man? They had no choice but to endure the biting coldness brought by the lotus root and continue to work hard!
Yan Wuyou's Liu Yuemei couldn't help but frown slightly, her thoughts were surging and she was guessing something. She simply closed her eyes and secretly released her consciousness to her mother-in-law.
The consciousness detects that there is no abnormality in the mother-in-law's soul and body, so why is the mother-in-law in this situation? Puzzled,
Maybe her mother-in-law is a martial artist and has the ability to withstand the cold, Yan Wuyou guessed.
After burning a stick of incense, he finally smoked out three large baskets of lotus root shreds. Yan Wuyou looked at the fresh lotus root knots that still had a little black energy left.
"Yang Fan, put these lotus roots in the sun for a few hours, and then use them to cook and eat." Yan Wuyou arranged it calmly.
"Princess, think twice, these lotus roots are poisonous and should not be eaten," Yang Fan dissuaded.
"The ones that have been exposed to the sun should be non-toxic. It's a pity to lose them. Why don't you take one section and make soup for me to eat first." Yan Wuyou said without thinking.
Shouldn't it be poisonous? Are you going to eat it before you know whether it is really not poisonous? Princess, are you too impulsive and willful!?
"Princess, please don't take risks." Yang Fan said, looking at Qin Yaofang for help.
"Xin'er, you can't take risks. My mother-in-law will worry her to death. Be good and use them as fertilizer to enrich the soil. It won't be such a pity." Qin Yaofang persuaded after hearing this.
"Mother-in-law, you see, they also said that the reason why the lotus roots in the pond are poisonous to people is to eat them.
The idea is that there are black threads in the lotus root. Now that the lotus roots have been pulled out, the remaining bits of black lotus root threads will dissipate after being exposed to the sun, so it should be edible. "
Yan Wuyou kneaded the black lotus root silk in his hands and explained.
Qin Yaofang and Yang Fan took turns persuading them, but they couldn't shake Yan Wuyou's determination not to waste food. Wasting food at will would be bad luck!
Although Yang Fan had no choice but to do as he was told, he asked his two confidants to move the lotus roots to the sun to dry, while he took the lotus roots to the kitchen and urged the cook to make big-bone lotus root soup...
Yan Wuyou was rubbing the black lotus root silk in the pavilion, absorbing the black energy. About half a kilogram of black lotus root silk was completely absorbed by Yan Wuyou in less than two moments.
Still unfinished, Yan Wuyou stared blankly at the lotus pond for a while, then looked up at the setting sun.
"Mother-in-law, take a walk and go back for dinner later." Yan Wuyou suggested with a smile.
"Okay." Qin Yaofang responded with a smile.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands and walked around the lotus pond. They were speechless because they stopped every time they came to a willow tree.
Yan Wuyou would close his eyes and release his consciousness to survey the willows. After walking around the pond, Yan Wuyou's beautiful Liu Yue eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
Although willow is a yin tree, it can control the house and ward off evil spirits. If planted in front of the yard, it can not only ward off evil spirits, but also harmonize yin and yang.
If it is planted in the backyard, it will add yin to the yin and create evil spirits. Not only does it not ward off evil spirits, but it also gathers yin - attracting peach blossoms! It is also easy to produce evil spirits!
Attracting peach blossoms is probably a beautiful thing favored by high-ranking officials, but the seven willow trees in the Yin Gathering Formation, how can it be just a simple act of attracting peach blossoms?
There are also those seven spirit-gathering camphor trees, but they are a formation that harms others but does not benefit oneself!
If a person lives in such a garden with many evil spirits for a long time, it is inevitable that he will suffer from many diseases and shorten his life!
What kind of monsters are these camphor trees and willows that are hundreds of years old breeding? !
Yan Wuyou has never studied the magic circle in depth, and now he does not dare to break through the many magic circles easily.
These seemingly simple formations are actually quite powerful, otherwise they wouldn’t be here today!
Yan Wuyou sat in the pavilion, staring at the lotus pond in front of him in a daze. The monsters in this pond have been around for hundreds of years, right?
Qin Yaofang on the side couldn't help but feel worried when she saw this, but she also knew that it was inconvenient to disturb her daughter-in-law's thoughts at this time.
As the sun sets in the west, the rosy clouds turn the entire western mountain top red, and the lotus pond in front of Yan Wuyou's eyes is reflected with colorful golden light.
"Mother-in-law, look, has the water level in the pool dropped?" Frowning Yan Wuyou turned his head and asked his mother-in-law softly.
"Really? Wait for your mother-in-law to take a look." Qin Yaofang responded and took a closer look.
"...Yes, it has dropped." Qin Yaofang responded after looking at it intently for a while.
"It's really not that simple." Yan Wuyou murmured, sighing in his heart. It is estimated that all the good luck has been used up.
I am so helpless. I have just been a human being for a few days, and I have not yet fully enjoyed the joys, sorrows, and joys of life! I have not yet fully visited the great rivers and mountains of the world! I have not yet...
There are so many things that I haven’t had time to see and enjoy, and to give this princess such a difficult problem to test with a monster is too embarrassing for Yan Wuyou, who has no magic power and no experience in collecting monsters!
I wonder when Zuo Shi will be able to help this month. She can't just ignore death, right?
Alas, my life is at stake. When I see Yue Zuo Shi later, I have to pester Yue Zuo Shi to teach her some life-saving skills no matter how shameless she is!
"Princess, the lotus root soup is ready." Yang Fan came over carrying a small casserole with lotus root soup to report.
"Okay, bring it over to this princess for a taste first." Yan Wuyou smiled as he was brought back from his thoughts.
"No." Yang Fan responded and placed a pot of lotus root soup on the stone table, and filled a bowl each for the princess and Qin Yaofang.
"Mother-in-law, you can eat it later. I've eaten it and it's fine. You can eat it again." Yan Wuyou said, pouring Qin Yaofang's bowl of soup back into the casserole and covering it.
Yang Fan opened his mouth but didn't make a sound. The doctor who hurriedly came behind him made Qin Yaofang nervous and wanted to stop trying to persuade Xin'er not to try.
"Don't panic, don't panic. I will be fine, and besides, I have the Baidu Pills given by Yue Zuo." Yan Wuyou smiled playfully and comforted Qin Yaofang.
Having said that, the medicine is three parts poisonous, and it is harmful to the body to some extent. Qin Yaofang was very nervous.
Yan Wuyou gulped down the soup and ate chunks of lotus root heartlessly.
"Pink lotus root, soft, sweet and delicious!" Yan Wuyou said in admiration after drinking two small bowls.
