The Suzerain's wife, who had been dead for ten years, was reborn

"Don't make trouble."

So Tingshuang threw the last piece of firewood into the fire, walked over, sat down, hugged her arms and prayed: "What are you going to do in the wilderness?"

Qi Zhi said helplessly: "I don't plan anything, I just think that it will be fine if the days to come are like this."

When I have no money, I go to the mountains to hunt and gather herbs. When I have money, I just stay at home and don’t go anywhere.

There is only so far a pair of feet can go, and it is no longer like flying all over the world like before, and we can see each other every day.

Although life is poor, everything has to be done by oneself, but the two of them are very satisfied.

Qi Zhi said so, looked up at Gu Tingshuang and asked her: "What do you think?"

Therefore, Tingshuang doesn't have any desire for material things, so naturally she prays that whatever she says is good.

She nodded, lowered her head and kissed Qi Zhi's forehead, and said slowly: "If you are really bored, let's go out and see the night?"

Therefore, Tingshuang thought that the weather was fine today. She took a look just now, and the night outside is very bright, which is the most suitable for watching the scenery and chatting.

Wrapped in a small blanket, Gu Tingshuang walked out of the wooden house while holding a prayer.

Today's night is really like what I heard from Shuang, a full moon hangs in the sky, shining the whole river beach with sparkling light.

Looking at the moonlight is also a good pastime.

The river was flowing slowly, praying, found a clean stone and sat down, so Tingshuang also sat beside her.

"Before I came in, Xianglian told me that I can only go out if I die in this world." Qi Zhi nestled in Gu Tingshuang's arms and looked at her: "But I think if we don't insist on courting death, we should be able to live until the end of our lives." ?”

Therefore, Tingshuang hugged her tightly with tenderness in his eyes: "Well, even if we can live to seventy or eighty, we still have more than 50 years to live."

"It's still so long..." Qi Zhi lay in Gu Tingshuang's arms and closed his eyes: "It feels like 50 years is just the blink of an eye."

"Although 50 years is short, it is our lifetime." So Tingshuang looked down at Qi Zhi's face, his eyes lingering on her face, and said to her, "I just don't know if we can get a job done before we leave here." Find Jiu Sui He."

"Jiu Sui He is an ancient sacred object, it should take time to find it."

"Well, we can find it slowly."

Neither of them spoke after that, and Qi Zhi lay on Gu Tingshuang's chest with peace of mind, burying his face in her neck.

Gu Tingshuang's heart was tickled by Qizhi's breathing, and she hugged him in her arms to make her nest more comfortable.

The two of them just sat and rested by the river leisurely, besides the sound of water flowing, only the endless chirping of autumn insects could be heard.

At this moment, Gu Tingshuang, who had been paying attention to her surroundings, suddenly noticed something strange in the river. When she looked intently, she found a magical scene.

There were some hay-like things floating on the surface of the river that originally reflected the moonlight. They became knots and blocked in the crevices of the rocks, causing the sound of the water flow there to be much louder than other places.

"Strange, where does the rice come from in this mountain?"

When Qizhi heard Gu Tingshuang's words, he opened his eyes, and followed her gaze puzzledly, and found that the rice-shaped stem was indeed blocked.

"How could there be rice in such a deep forest." Qi Zhi stood up and said to Gu Tingshuang, "Maybe the birds ate the seeds and scattered them by the river, wild rice."

Many forests rely on birds to sow seeds. The seeds they cannot digest fall on the ground at random. If they are lucky, they will grow out in the coming year. The same is true for rice.

But pray to see that the rice has blocked the river for a small section. If it is not dealt with, it is not known when it will be unblocked.

"Let me go and have a look." Qi Zhi got up and said to Gu Tingshuang, "Generally, fish can be raised in this kind of place, maybe we can still drink fish soup tomorrow morning."

For his own breakfast the next day, Qi Zhi still wanted to try it, even if he didn't, it would be good to help clear it up.

Seeing that Qizhi jumped off the rock and ran over, Tingshuang didn't let her pass alone, but followed her.

Qizhi picked up a stick at random, and jumped onto the rock to see if there were any fish resting in the puddle, but when she saw the rice, she let out a 'huh'.

"what happened?"

So Tingshuang stood behind Qi Zhi, watched her stretch out a wooden stick to poke the blockage, and asked, "Is there any fish?"

"No fish." Qizhi picked up an ear of rice, looked at it and said, "Why does this rice grow so strangely?"

Therefore, Tingshuang heard the words and looked over, only to see that although the rice was dilapidated, it could be vaguely seen that there were several ears more than normal rice.

Qi Zhi found several other ears, and found that the rice was really different from the ones planted by the villagers. They were not a single ear, but many and heavy.

"Perhaps it's because the rice in the forest grows weirdly?" So Tingshuang didn't know much about this, but said to Qi Zhi: "It must be a wild grain that can be seen everywhere, so it's not surprising."

Qizhi originally thought so, but she quickly picked up a rice that seemed to have just flowed down from the upper reaches.

And this rice was clearly seen by both of them, it had nine spikes in it!

Jiu Sui He? !

Qi Zhi held the rice plant in surprise, and showed it to Gu Tingshuang, "Look, does it have nine tassels?"

So Tingshuang also frowned: "Indeed there are."

"Could this be Jiusuihe?" Qizhi looked at the rice in his hand suspiciously, wondering: "But isn't Jiusuihe a sacred object in ancient times, why does it grow in the forest like weeds?"

Tingshuang couldn't answer the question of praying, but it was getting dark, and she was afraid that the two of them would encounter some danger outside, so she took Qizhi back to the wooden house first.

Sitting on the floor of the wooden house, Qi Zhi looked at the rice in front of him, but couldn't figure out whether this was what they were looking for?

"Are the ancient sacred objects so simple and unpretentious?" Qi Zhi looked at the ears of rice and asked Gu Tingshuang, "Did we think wrong?"

In Qizhi's impression, ancient sacred objects are difficult to obtain easily, just like Xianglian said to Qizhi that only death can get Jiusuihe, so Qizhi always thought that she would need to pay a lot.

Instead of just picking it up on the side of the road like it is now.

Therefore, Tingshuang looked at the Jiusuihe silently, and said silently: "In the ancient books of Qianyuezong, the shape of Jiusuihe is indeed recorded. It has nine ears on one pole and is golden in color. It existed tens of thousands of years ago. A sacred object from ancient times."

She looked at the unpretentious Jiusuihe in front of her, and said to Qizhi helplessly, "It's exactly the same as what was described in the ancient books."

Qi Zhi looked at her in surprise: "Really?"

So Tingshuang nodded, picked up the Jiusuihe plant and said: "This one has been soaked in water, and I don't know if it can be planted again. Since it flows down from the upstream, there should be still growing Jiusuihe. Suihe."

"Then let's go upstream tomorrow to have a look." Qi Zhi grabbed Gu Tingshuang's hand and said, "I'll keep this plant too, what if it still survives?"

So Tingshuang nodded, she put Jiusuihe aside, put her arms around Qizhi and said, "It would be good if we could get out of this world sooner."

In that case, she can help Qi Zhi return to her body.

In this way, they are really together again.

There was nothing to say all night, and the two of them were ready to go out at dawn the next day, because they didn't know where Jiusuihe could be found upstream, so it was always right to get up early.

Walking upstream along the river bed without going through the woods, it was much faster than before.

The two walked for a whole morning, and finally found a few Jiusuihe growing by the river bed.

The nine-eared grains in the forest are already mature, they hang their heavy heads, and when the wind blows, they gently shake the heavy ears of grain.

Qizhi walked over with a small shovel, shoveled up a Jiushuihe plant by the roots with a serious face, and put it in Gu Tingshuang's back basket.

"I don't know how many of these things are around here." Qizhi broke another mature Nine-stalk Grass, took a look at it, and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it. It was a fragrant rice taste.

While rubbing the grains, Qizhi wondered, "This seems to be an ordinary millet, but the yield is several times higher than that grown by the villagers. Is this really Jiusuihe?"

Therefore, Tingshuang also looked at Qizhi rubbing out all the grains in his hands. The grain yield of a Jiusuihe is almost four or five times that of ordinary rice. If it is not because of the lack of nutrients in the forest, its grain yield will be even higher. high.

Is this Jiu Sui He...

So Tingshuang had the answer in her heart, and she said to Qizhi: "I understand, it is Jiusuihe, an ancient sacred object."

Qi Zhi looked at her puzzled, not understanding what Gu Tingshuang meant by that.

"The grain yield of one plant is four or five times that of ordinary rice ears. Isn't this a sacred object bestowed by the ancients?" So Tingshuang said to Qi Zhi: "You used to say that the villagers pay heavy taxes and the rice yield in the field Low, are you living a hard life?"

Qizhi's eyes lit up after hearing this: "You mean, if the Jiusuihe can be planted by the villagers, they will be able to live a good life?"

"If I understand correctly, it is like this." So Tingshuang said to Qi Zhi: "Let's go back, this trip into the mountains is also very rewarding."

Resting in the cabin for another night, the two of them finally came out of the mountain the next day. This trip into the mountain for three days was completely beyond Qizhi's expectations.

In addition to Jiusuihe, Qizhi also picked some commonly used herbs, so Tingshuang also killed a lot of small prey, barely able to sell for a good price.

As soon as Qizhi entered the village, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the village, so Tingshuang also felt it. No one came out of the bustling village.

Although puzzled, the two of them brought too many things, so they should go home first.

Seeing the sun go down, Qizhi wanted to distribute the processed meat to the previous villagers who helped him a lot. As soon as he knocked on the door of the village chief's house, he heard the voice of the village chief's daughter-in-law from inside. .

"Who is it?"

"It's me, please stop."

Qizhi said to the inside: "I just came out of the mountains, and I killed some rabbits, and I will send some to you."

"It's praying." The village chief's daughter-in-law looked at Qizhi from a long distance from the door and said, "Go back, don't come out casually during this time, there is a plague in the village these two days, you must be careful .”

"Plague?" Qi Zhi was puzzled and said, "It's so good, why did you get the plague?"
