Escape after crossing

Mingyue dodged, but Mingxi didn't. She saw something by the stream and reached out to take it, so she didn't hide. After getting the thing, she hurriedly shouted.

"Girl, come up quickly, there are bugs in this creek, come up quickly." As he said this, he raised the thing in his hand to show Jiang Ziluo.

When Mingyue heard her say that, she took steps back and moved forward again, trying to pull Jiang Ziluo up. At this moment, she heard Mingxi cry out in pain.

"Hiss, it hurts." It was getting dark. Jiang Ziluo didn't see clearly what it was, so he reached into his sleeve, which was the space, and took out a fire starter.

Mingyue also took out a fire stick, so that she could see clearly what it was. Mingyue was not too surprised, because she had seen such insects before. Of course, Mingxi had seen them too, but it was dark, and she was worried about hurting Jiang Ziluo, so she reached out and grabbed it in a hurry.

As a result, she didn't pay attention and got her hand caught. Jiang Ziluo looked at the thing in Mingxi's hand and smiled. Isn't this a crayfish? She never thought she would see this thing here.

Mingyue pulled Jiang Ziluo ashore with her hands, and handed the fire starter to Mingxi, and told her, "Take it, burn it with fire, and it will loosen."

Mingxi took the fire stick and said, "Don't worry about me, pull the girl up first."

"Girl, stop laughing and come up quickly. It hurts when this thing pinches you." Mingyue was a little anxious, but Jiang Ziluo didn't take it seriously at all.

"Mingyue, Mingxi, have you seen this thing before? What do you call it?" Seeing that the two were really anxious, Jiang Ziluo came out of the water.

"Girl, wipe the water off before putting on your shoes." Mingyue pulled Jiang Ziluo's feet and wanted to wipe her feet with a handkerchief, but Jiang Ziluo didn't care about that at all. She was only thinking about the thing in Mingxi's hand.

"It's okay, Mingyue. I'll be back soon. Get up and tell me, what is this?"

At this time, Mingxi also took the crayfish in his hand, and did not forget to answer Jiang Ziluo's words. "Miss, the people call it red shell worms, and they appear when the weather is hot.

Going further south, in those places where rice is grown, the water for the rice fields is pumped from nearby rivers or streams.

But there would be these red shell insects in the rice fields. At first, the people were afraid that these insects would harm the rice fields, so they would catch them and take them to a distant place and dump them.

It seems that gradually people found that the red shell beetles did not harm the rice fields, so they would let them grow a little longer, then catch them, smash them with stones, and feed them to the chickens and ducks at home.

“We can’t catch them all. Sometimes there are always some left, and they will be caught if we’re not careful. Children in particular are always curious and want to check and touch them even if adults don’t let them.

It really gave the people a headache, and the matter also alarmed the government, but the government was helpless because they had never seen anything like it, and it was only a short period of time, so it would pass if they delayed it."

Mingxi continued, Jiang Ziluo listened, sighing in his heart, what a pity! Naturally, he also heard that when it comes to the government's inaction, he also hates it, but there is really no better way.

"How do you know all this?" Jiang Ziluo thought, since they are Leng Chenming's subordinates, they should not know about these things, right?

"When Mingyue and I first arrived in Jiangdu City, we heard about this kind of thing. Then, when there were many red beetles, we helped the people do some things. But we couldn't come every year, and we couldn't always help."

Jiang Ziluo nodded. Now that the herbs had been found, he just needed to spend some time in the space tonight and make them.

When one thing is missing from his mind, he will think about other things, such as the red shell worm in Mingxi's hand, and the seafood at tomorrow's morning market. Jiang Ziluo thought that these things would soon turn into silver and appear in front of him, and he laughed.

Jiang Ziluo suddenly laughed out loud. Mingyue and Mingxi didn't understand why. Seeing that it was getting dark, they wanted to urge them to leave.

"Girl, let's leave first. We still have some distance to go." Mingyue said.

"Girl, what are you laughing at? What did you think of?" Mingxi loves to join in the fun. She is always curious about things and can't help but ask.

"I won't tell you now. I'll tell you after we go to the morning market tomorrow. Haha." After saying that, Jiang Ziluo jumped away.

Mingyue and Mingxi took one more look at each other and hurried to catch up. The tinder could provide some light, but it wouldn't work when running. Mingyue and Mingxi practiced martial arts and were used to the dark.

They were worried that Jiang Ziluo might fall, so Mingyue said, "Girl, let Mingxi follow you and walk slowly forward. I'll go look around and make a torch to light the way."

"Hmm? A torch? No need, Mingyue. I'll show you something good." Jiang Ziluo reached into his sleeve and used his consciousness to pull out a night-shining pearl from the pile of treasures. It wasn't too big, but it was enough for lighting.

It’s not that Jiang Ziluo didn’t want to take out the flashlight, she just felt that it’s better for fewer people to know about that thing. The last time she gave one to Leng Chenming, it was because she was careless and they saw it. There was nothing she could do.

Today is different. After all, Mingyue and Mingxi have just come to her side and don’t understand many things. Maybe she will tell them some secrets in the future, but definitely not now.

Fortunately, when Jiang Ziluo was packing up those things in the space last night, he saw a few luminous pearls, but they were all of different sizes and not in pairs.

Jiang Ziluo picked out a medium-sized one and handed it to the two of them. Mingyue and Mingxi saw that it was a night pearl and were surprised.

It’s not that they haven’t seen a night pearl before, they just wondered why Jiang Ziluo would carry a night pearl with him. Mingyue had doubts in her mind and looked at Jiang Ziluo.

I asked myself, is she really an ordinary country girl? But I didn't ask it out loud. Mingxi and Mingyue have been on missions together and have lived together for so long, so of course she knows what Mingyue is thinking?

Although she was greedy and curious, she knew what to ask, what not to ask, and when to ask. The two exchanged glances, but no one asked a question.

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?" Jiang Ziluo had lived two lives, how could she not understand the look in their eyes and expressions? She just didn't want to say it.

"Girl, wait a minute, I'll be back soon." Mingyue's mind was working quickly. She flew away and came back after a while with two more branches in her hands, one of which was straight and had no forks.

One of the branches was forked, and it said to Jiang Ziluo, "Girl, pick up the night-shining pearl with a silk handkerchief, tie a knot and hang it on a branch, it will light up like a lantern."

Jiang Ziluo thought it was right. It was dark under the lamp. If he held it in his hand, he could not see the road ahead clearly. But like a lantern, if he held it forward, he could see everything around him clearly.

And it was covered with a silk scarf, so it was not so dazzling, and even if someone saw it, they would not be able to see the night pearl directly. Jiang Ziluo could not help but praise Mingyue's attentiveness.

After Mingyue and Mingxi had fiddled with it for a while, the three of them headed back to Qinghe County. Since they had followed the stream, they would go back along the stream.

Fortunately, Mingyue and Mingxi were used to remembering the way when they went out, otherwise they would get lost just following the stream in the dark. Jiang Ziluo was only focused on finding herbs in the afternoon and didn't remember the way seriously.

If Mingyue hadn't reminded her, she would have gotten lost and would have to sleep in the wilderness tonight. Jiang Ziluo couldn't help but pat his head, warning himself not to be so careless in the future.
