You have the right not to speak.

Wu Haomin replied: "I don't remember, but I haven't seen it since I was a child."

: "…"

The clues are broken again. It seems that all of Qianqian’s playmates before she was 3 years old have mysteriously disappeared.

Wu Haomin asked doubtfully, "I see Qianqian is a bit irritable today. Is she at odds with Second Aunt's family?"

Yuzhu said, "I heard that she was at odds with her uncle Li Runfa. Second Aunt sent pork to Grandpa Wei. This uncle despised Qianqian behind her back because she was a girl and said she was a money-loser. Grandpa Wei was so angry that he chased her away with a broom. Qianqian even told me privately today that grandma and second aunt were good friends. What kind of good people are they? If they were really good, wouldn't they not have contact for five years?"

Wu Haomin nodded in agreement and said, "I think Ziqi seems to be interested in you. She has her eyes fixed on you today."

Wu Yuzhu laughed in horror: "Sister Yinhua is not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry? I still have to pass the imperial examination and work for Hua Tuo. You are older than us, and our mother is so anxious that her blood pressure is rising. If we want to get married, you should get married first. Hehe."

The second brother, Wu Haomin, laughed awkwardly: "Look how anxious you are. Why are you dragging me into this again? I want to build my career before getting married. I'm afraid you can't wait. You little showoff. Haha."

A blessed girl will not enter a house without blessings.

Wu Yuzhu didn't get angry but smiled and said, "I see that Sister Yinhua's eyes are on you and Ziqi, and you don't take the initiative to talk and communicate with others more. If there is a chance, our mother will be happy to buy you a three-wheeled truck. Hehe, um, wait for me."

Wu Haomin rode far away as soon as he exerted force with his feet. Wu Yuzhu immediately chased after him.

: "Second brother, wait for me, are you going to tire me to death?"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

In this way, the young man rode one after another, and the brother and sister talked about their studies and future plans.

Wei Qianqian

It takes an adult 20 minutes to ride a bicycle from Zhuangyuan Town to Zhuangyuan Village, a distance of three kilometers. It takes a little more than 40 minutes to ride a bicycle from Zhuangyuan Town to Liujing Village, a distance of six kilometers.

Zhuangyuan Town used to have more than 20 villages. After the plague, the population shrank by one-sixth. Later, it was reorganized twice, splitting and merging, and it became the current 9 large villages.

I heard that there are two villages with a population of over a thousand, and they are starting to split up the village because the pie is too small. As living conditions improve, people with more ideas want more. The general trend of the world is that things that come together for a long time will eventually split up, and things that split up for a long time will eventually come together. For example, in a large family, all male members will split up after getting married, and then have their own children and enjoy wealth and glory.

Qianqian is really surrounded by mysteries. She was kidnapped for an hour before she was three years old, and then she was doomed again when she was 15. It was a monk who told her about it. More than 10 years ago, some villagers said they saw a giant yellow dragon circling the village three times in the morning and then flew away.

This person is Lu Yougui from Xinmin Village, Zhuangyuan Town. He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.

"Shenlong, Shenlong, if you have a spirit, please help my mother get rid of her illness as soon as possible. I am willing to shorten my life by 10 years."

When villager Lu Yougui finished praying and opened his eyes, he found a golden ball the size of a soybean in his palm. He bit it with his teeth to see if it was real or not, but it was so sour that his teeth fell out.

Lu Yougui was secretly delighted and murmured: "It is really gold, thank the dragon for the gift."

: "Thank you for the gift from the dragon"

"Thank you for the gift from the dragon"

With a plop, he kowtowed three times respectfully towards the place where the dragon appeared, thanking the dragon for its gift, and then went home happily. When he got home, he immediately closed the door and found a secluded place to hide the golden beads.

During lunch, 35-year-old Lu Yougui looked at his mother's frail appearance and saw that she had only eaten half a bowl of food before stopping. He turned to his wife Lu and said

"Mother, I'm going to the town to buy a new hoe tomorrow. The old one is too blunt and it's too hard for you and your child to use. You can take a day off tomorrow."

Mrs. Lu nodded and said, "Then I will cut the sweet potato vines at home for easy drying. Don't pick a hoe that is too expensive or too good. Buy a small one for the root pillars."

Lu Yougui replied: "Okay, I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back. Hehe"

Lu and her children were also happy to hear this. Although life was a little hard, as long as the other person had them in their hearts, it was sweet.

Lu Yougui was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and his wife Lu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep because of the noise.

The next day, Lu Yougui, whose eyes were covered with bruises, chose an old piece of clothing with the most patches, disguised himself as a garbage collector, rode the only third-hand bicycle in his family, and headed straight for the county town 10 kilometers away.

Fuyuan Pawn Shop

The pawnshop owner said happily: "My fellow, your gold is pure, which is rare. If it didn't have this tooth mark, I would give you 50 yuan more. If it did, I would have to ask the master to polish it again."

Lu Yougui said awkwardly: "The puppy at home was too playful and gnawed it."

Who has so much gold that they use it as a toy for their dog? It must have been bitten by someone, right? There has always been a folk method of testing gold by biting it with teeth. The pawnshop owner knew it was a lie, so he stopped talking.

Lu Yougui took 300 yuan, took out 10 yuan and put it in his shirt, and hid the rest.

He pretended to be a garbage picking farmer, picked up a sack in his right hand, held a piece of cardboard in his left hand, pulled his straw hat down a little more, walked forward slowly, glanced behind him alertly, and seeing that no one was following him, he quickly hurried to the farm tool store.

Stand in the hoe area

The saleswoman who was about to doze off suddenly perked up and greeted enthusiastically, "Boss, what kind of hoe do you want to buy?"

Lu Yougui picked up a small hoe, thinking that his son would find it useful. "How much does this small hoe cost?"

The salesperson replied

"This one is the best buy. It's on sale for 1 yuan today. How many do you need? Also, this new hoe is on sale for 2.5 yuan. It usually costs 4 yuan. Do you want to try one?"

Lu Yougui took a look at the new model of the hoe, which was about 45 cm long and 20 cm wide. He felt that the cut was sharp and easy to dig into the mud.

I spent 6.5 yuan generously and bought two small hoes, a big hoe, and two sickles. Agricultural stores usually require you to make your own hoe handles and they are not available for sale.

Lu Yougui asked the salesperson to pack the pork in a fiber bag, and then he went to the vegetable market to buy a pound of pork for 1 yuan.

After retrieving the bicycle from the bicycle storage, Lu Yougui went back to the farm implement shop and worked with the salesperson to load it onto the back of the bicycle. Then he put it on a hemp bag in a secluded grove of trees and went home happily carrying the spoils and pork.

The reason why villager Lu Yougui was sure that it was a dragon and not a snake was because he could tell it apart by the horns on its head. Although no one knew whether it was true or not, the rumor was that it had a nose and eyes.

Many villagers don't believe it, because even if a mortal sees a real dragon or a god, their memory will be wiped out by a spell, unless the god lets you see it. Is this possible? There is still a chance of being struck by lightning.

Of course, Lu Yougui was gifted a golden pearl by the divine dragon, and he understood very well that wealth should not be shown off, so he kept it secret, because only a fool would tell others about it.

After taking some good medicine, his mother lived eight more years. Lu Yougui was very grateful for Shenlong's help.

On March 3, the day to meet the dragon came again. Lu Yougui brought his daughter and son to the place where they had worshipped the dragon. After burning incense and lighting incense, the three of them kowtowed three times when they saw the dragon.

Lu Yougui smiled and asked his two children: "My children, do you believe that Dad has seen a dragon?"

His son Genzhu replied: "Believe it"

Her daughter Fengxian also replied: "Dad, I believe you too."

The two of them whispered in unison: "We have a father who has seen a dragon, so will we also have the opportunity to see a dragon?"

Lu Yougui smiled and said, "I don't know, but you have done so many good things that you have more opportunities than others."

Fengxian and Genzhu nodded together, and the three of them went home talking and laughing.
