Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 281

[The Changbai copper coin tree is also known as the dead man's bamboo.

My ears were dizzy and not very good either. The first time I heard it, I mistakenly heard it as fried suckling pig, and I thought Kidney Bean was describing how it tasted.

Come to think of it, I've never eaten fried suckling pig, so I don't know if it's delicious or not. I just remember the pig skin roasted in the nunnery when I ran away from home as a child, and it tasted like mud.

I don't want to eat pigs, or anything else. I just want to get off the flying boat and stay alive.

The child, half dead, held his chin in his hand and sat at the table for a long time before continuing to write.

[Let’s not talk about that.]

Let's call it the dead man's bamboo. It is also called white bone bamboo, jade bone bamboo, moonlight bamboo, bright moon bamboo, ghost money bamboo, and tomb-guarding bamboo. It has different names in different places, but they all have the word "bamboo".

Because it is like a bamboo, thin and long, it can grow very quickly and reach very high heights overnight.

But they are not real bamboos, and they only appear in some tombs.

It is said that in some places, after a person dies, they will use pit burial to bury the deceased. As the name suggests, the dead body is buried in a large pit. Those who can afford to spend money will first put the dead body in the coffin, and then dig up the pit wall to place the coffin in. Those who are reluctant to spend money or have no money will directly put the body into the pit and let time erode the body until it turns into bones.

This kind of pit is usually shared by several tribes in a village, so it will be dug extremely deep and large, and it will not be sealed. There must be a place left on the top through which the moon can pass through.

These people believe that there is a mother-in-law on the moon.

This Moon Lady will comfort the souls of the deceased, allowing them to leave happily without resentment and sadness, and fly to the moon along the moonlight.

The Bamboo of the Dead is a tomb-guarding treasure given by Grandma Yue to protect corpses. When the blood of the living drips, it will kill without hesitation anyone who disturbs the peace of the deceased.

It doesn't grow everywhere on a normal day, so people in those places regard it as a spiritual sacred object.

Neither Yundou nor I really believed this story, so she asked many people, but everyone said the same thing and there was no useful information.

It wasn't until a maidservant beside the princess wanted to try to press the grave that I learned that Chu Yiyi's hometown was a place of pit burial. If you want to know these things, you'd be right to ask her.

This is good news, but unfortunately she wants to kill me and hates Yundou as well, so there is no way to ask her.

I didn't charge the maid any money, hoping she could help me find out. Now several days have passed, and I don't know if she has actually found out. Maybe she has forgotten...

——November 20, the ninth year of Tianji

At the speed of the flying boat, they should have arrived long ago, but the considerate Prince Ming and Princess Ming were dragging Prince Jia and his wife around looking for birthday gifts.

The two guards around the emperor stopped urging him, and it was obvious that they were just looking at the person to decide what to do.

It’s hard to say whether Prince Jia and his wife are happy or not, but the children are definitely not happy.

The clouds were occasionally bumpy, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Even in her dreams, things were not going smoothly. She was stuck in a pit of dead bodies, which she thought was a cave, and couldn't get out.

Qiu Xin, who might know something in the banner, was still angry with her and refused to pay attention to her or let her in.

Yundou is nowhere to be seen all day long. He is very busy every day, but no one knows what he is busy with.

Eunuch Chen was becoming increasingly irritable... This was the only thing she could understand.

The reason why Eunuch Chen was so irritable was because they were getting closer and closer to Lianli. The child had always thought that he didn't care if Lianli didn't send back letters, but only Eunuch Zhang got angry about this. As a result, they found out in the past few days that Eunuch Chen was the one who was reacting backwards.

Sometimes when he saw children, he would mention Lian Li, and then his face would darken and he would start to lose his temper.

Occasionally he would look worried and then start to lose his temper.

He seems to be another eunuch Zhang who is difficult to serve.

I don’t like to laugh anymore.

One day, the child was so dazzled that he almost mistook him for Eunuch Zhang. He was very angry because he said he was much younger and more handsome than Eunuch Zhang. Then he told the sad story of how he became Lian Li's father at such a young age, and how after being a father for so many years, he raised an unfilial son...

As he spoke, he became angry again.

The child didn't know how to persuade him.

I could only close the door and leave.

The next day, he did the same thing again when he went to dinner and was scolded by Chen Yu. He seemed to be fine, but when he came back, he got angry again. The child was confused by his scolding and vomited all over the table when the boat shook. From then on, she had no need to go out anymore.

It took me a long time to recall it, but it actually happened just yesterday.

"These people..."

The children lamented, not understanding why adults love to scold children when they lose their temper. What happens when they don't have children? Do they scold their parents and elders?

It’s the masters who never curse.

I don't know if they have changed.

The child was somewhat timid because of the close relationship with his family. He turned the bag upside down but couldn't find a suitable piece of clothing.

She had no choice but to take out her limited money and count it again and again, thinking that she would buy a piece of cloth when she got there, dress up a little more beautifully and then go to see her master and the others.

I should also prepare some gifts for Master and the others. What should I buy?

Buddhist scriptures? Wooden fish? Or monk's robes?

Maybe she should ask Lian Li to make some vegetarian food for her to take over. His cooking was really delicious, but she didn't know if it would work. Eunuch Zhang said that he was an ungrateful person and would forget all of them when he became rich. Then he would definitely not remember her either.

After listening to her talk for a while, Yundou thought, "He might not be rich. He might be having a hard time, so he doesn't have money to send a letter. Or maybe he's already dead. It's hard to say."

Sometimes kidney beans talk really badly!

Could it be that a child wouldn't think of such a thing?

There was no news from the people she knew, and the first thing she thought of was whether something had happened. Eunuch Chen and Eunuch Zhang were older than her and knew more than she did, so they would definitely have thought of it.

But who wants to think that way?

It’s better to treat him as an ungrateful person, at least he is alive.

Speaking of wolves, the child remembered the wolf in his dream.

It's not that she didn't try to talk to the wolves in her dream and ask them to let each other go, but they wouldn't listen at all.

The little wolf was determined to eat her. He either made her his breakfast, lunch, dinner, or midnight snack. Sometimes, when he was full, he would see the child and say, "A little snack wouldn't be a problem."

It's ok, but kids can't!

If you're not hungry, don't make things difficult for yourself. What's the harm in letting her go?

After a few more days in that pit, the children would become familiar with the mice and there would be nothing else to do. Apart from watching them, they could not think of anything else to do.

The child was so bored that she almost wanted to tie a bow with the mouse's tail, or a poisonous snake, because they were too busy gnawing on the stones to bite her.

Yindou still hasn't figured out the origin of the stone.

I guess it’s not a famous baby…
