Chapter 007
"Sister-in-law's tofu?"
Hearing Chen Ergou's words, a somewhat puzzled Beauty Liu caught the slightly sleazy look in his eyes, and she instantly understood what Chen Ergou meant!
In a flash, she grabbed a stone, her anger mixed with coyness, "How dare you, Ergou, even think about touching sister-in-law's tofu? Come here, see if I don't beat you to death, you little bastard!"
"Sister-in-law, I still have things to do, so I'll get going. I had a great time chatting with you today. I'll come back to chat with you later, to talk about those adult stuff!"
When Beauty Liu bent over to pick up stones, Chen Ergou sensed the murderous intent and had already scrammed!
Seeing the smug Chen Ergou escape beyond her striking distance, Beauty Liu, though still shy and furious, could only stare helplessly.
Meanwhile, Chen Ergou had already returned home. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about teasing Beauty Liu!
"Qiaoqiao, why didn't you sleep a bit longer?"
As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Ergou saw Lin Qiaoqiao washing clothes. After a brief pause, Ergou spoke with a touch of concern.
Hearing Chen Ergou's worried inquiry, Lin Qiaoqiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled, "I'm not sleepy anymore! Brother Ergou, do you have any other clothes for me to wash? Bring them all here! I've already washed the underwear you took off earlier."
"Eh? What did you say? Underwear?"
After the corners of his mouth twitched, Chen Ergou quickly lifted his head, only then noticing two black pairs of underwear hanging on the clothesline, which he had intended to wash himself...
"This..."
Embarrassing!
Very embarrassing!
Thinking of Lin Qiaoqiao washing his underwear, Chen Ergou felt extremely embarrassed!
"What's wrong, Brother Ergou? Are you feeling embarrassed? Come on, go and check if there are any more dirty clothes! If there are, give them to me and I'll wash them for you!"
Seeing Chen Ergou's face full of embarrassment, Lin Qiaoqiao burst into laughter. She quickly stood up, stepped forward, and gently pushed Chen Ergou...
"Then... then wait here for me for a moment!"
Snapping back to reality, Chen Ergou hurriedly ran back to his room. Of course, his main goal at this moment was not to find dirty clothes, but to quickly search under the pillow!
Chen Ergou remembered placing a pornographic book there before...
Gone!
After a thorough search, Chen Ergou couldn't find it, which made the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably...
"Could Qiaoqiao have put it somewhere else?"
As he thought this, Chen Ergou heard footsteps. Lifting his head, he saw Lin Qiaoqiao, her cheeks slightly flushed, standing at the doorway.
"Qiaoqiao, I had put a study material here before, I don't know if you saw it just now!"
Suppressing the embarrassment in his heart, Chen Ergou coughed lightly and asked in as calm a voice as possible.
"Study material?"
Lin Qiaoqiao giggled, then pointed to the bedside drawer and said, "I put it in there! Brother Ergou, don't read books like that anymore, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night!"
"Uh..."
Hearing Lin Qiaoqiao say this, Chen Ergou knew that she must have read the content, and in that instant, he felt like he had lost all face...
Seeing Chen Ergou wishing he could crawl into a hole, Lin Qiaoqiao took the initiative and said, "Alright, I'm going back to washing clothes! If you have any other dirty laundry, give it to me!"
"Okay!"
Watching Lin Qiaoqiao walk away, Chen Ergou took a deep breath and sat on the bed with a bitter smile on his face!
At dinner, with the four of them sitting together, Li Cuixia brought up the drought again, "There's still no sign of rain in the coming days; the crops in the fields are probably in trouble!"
"Yes!"
Chen Jianqiu sighed and silently gazed out of the window.
In the afternoon, he once again walked around the fields and felt his heart ache because all he could do was watch the crops continue to wither...
"Thank goodness for Ergou selling the ginseng; otherwise, our life this year would truly be impossible to get by!"
As she served a piece of lean meat to Chen Ergou, Li Cuixia softly spoke up!
Hearing Li Cuixia mention the ginseng, Chen Ergou's eyes suddenly lit up...
The True Qi within his body had the effect of accelerating maturity, if it could accelerate the maturation of ginseng or other herbs, then it should bring him sufficient benefits!
That way, even if the harvest were poor, it wouldn't matter to his family!
He just didn't know whether it would truly be useful or not!
With this speculation, Chen Ergou felt an itch in his heart!
He planned to try it out in the mountains behind the village after dinner!
After dinner, Chen Ergou quietly left home, knowing that if he didn't experiment right away, he simply couldn't sleep!
...
"I hope I don't need to go too deep this time!"
Arriving at the foot of the mountain behind the village, Chen Ergou looked at the dark, continuous range of mountains, took a deep breath, and his face became solemn.
Since he was young, Chen Ergou had heard many rumors about these mountains!
It was said that within these mountains there were jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards...
Over the years, no one had truly seen them, but very few people dared to enter because the mountains were planted with towering trees, making it extremely easy to get lost once inside!
"How chilling!"
As soon as he stepped into the mountain, Chen Ergou felt a piercing coldness...
At the same time, Chen Ergou's vision became blurry, aware that it was due to the dense leaves blocking the moonlight...
After coming to a stop, Chen Ergou took a deep breath, and the next second, he detected a faint, strange fragrance in the air!
It was Lingzhi!
Upon smelling that unique scent, Chen Ergou's eyes brightened, and the next second, he ran towards the 5 o'clock direction!
"This is the place!"
Having run about a hundred meters, Chen Ergou quickly crouched down, looking at the disorderly pile of stones in front of him...
Chen Ergou knew that within this pile of stones was a Lingzhi plant that was not very old...
Indeed!
After moving a few stones aside, Chen Ergou saw the dark Lingzhi!
"I hope that green True Qi really has an effect on these herbs!"
As he spoke, Chen Ergou, kneeling on the ground, gently grabbed the roots of the dark Lingzhi, and instantly, the emerald True Qi swirling around in his Dantian began to seep through his fingers into the Lingzhi...
"Am I overthinking this?"
After a while, Chen Ergou couldn't help but murmur to himself unconsciously!
Because by that time, nearly a third of the emerald True Qi in his body had been absorbed, and yet there was no change in it!
"Hmm?"
Just as he was about to give up, Chen Ergou suddenly noticed its color beginning to change and, simultaneously, its size began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, expanding several times its original size in an instant...
