I traveled through time, this is unscientific

Chapter 172 Deception

172 deception

"Oh, their family is open for business."

That’s true. Doesn’t Mr. Zhou open a business?

Zhou Xiaozhou continued to deceive: "They have some food on hand, which they keep in the store to sell outside, but business has not been good in the past two years, so they dare not stockpile a lot of food."

There is a lot of water in these words. Zhou Xiaozhou mixed the truth with lies and said it in this way, and he immediately believed it. He learned this from the unscrupulous businessman Comrade Lao Zhou.

Ge Meili held back her laughter all the way, watching the little boy racking his brains to try to find out the news, and listening to Zhou Xiaozhou talking nonsense to fool the child at will.

Although it was only a short distance from Old Wu's house to the school, the sun was scorching and Zhou Xiaozhou was exhausted from the sun.

She now regretted a lot why she left the "little pink" in the camp.

It was so comfortable to ride, I shouldn't have listened to Qin Tao's nonsense, saying that if there was any problem here, they could rush to support as quickly as possible. This would be convenient for the exploration team and Zhou Xiaozhou and the others.

What a fart!

Zhou Xiaozhou is not feeling at all comfortable now. It is not her style to put herself in a difficult position. She blames the other party for being too cunning, and also blames her own side for having Chen Dahe, a traitor who helps the other party speak.

"Ah! Isn't that a lot? Can we eat it in our village?"

Huh! ? What? He wants to buy all her food. What a big appetite! Zhou Xiaozhou and Ge Meili are having an eye-to-eye fight again.

Wu Dafa quickly pulled his silly brother and said, "This kid really tells everything to others!"

Zhou Xiaozhou pretended not to notice these little movements, and walked quickly into the classroom with Ge Meili. Then she saw a small stove built next to it.

The infrastructure capabilities of these villagers are amazing, they do everything very quickly.

If we could introduce the laborers here to our hometown, they would be hired as skilled or skilled laborers, or even just do odd jobs, and they could earn a lot in a day. Why would they have to worry about farming for food?

Stop, Zhou Xiaozhou forced himself not to have those evil thoughts. As he kept thinking about it, he almost became a black-hearted person involved in the slave trade.

Wu Sanmei took the clay pot in her hand and placed it on the small stove, just right.

Everyone in the Wu family walked down from the big tree near the school to the fields. Zhou Xiaozhou and Ge Meili followed, carrying a wooden barrel.

Firstly, they wanted to see what the stream looked like after it dried up; secondly, there was a stream of water in the woods below, so Wu Sanmei took them to fetch some water to boil.

When they reached the woods, Zhou Xiaozhou told Ge Meili about the first time he and the children walked through here.

"At that time, the rat was really as big as an arm." Zhou Xiaozhou gestured, and Ge Meili was horrified when she heard it.

Ge Meili didn't mean to disbelieve it. After all, she had seen Changren and Xianghu with her own eyes, so what was a rat as big as her arm? Perhaps there were more unexpected animals here.

"Hey! Third sister, is that the ground bean you were talking about?" Zhou Xiaozhou pointed, where there was a large patch of plants as thick as arrow shafts and straight.

Looking in the direction of her finger, Wu Sanmei carefully identified it and nodded.

"Yes, that's the ground bean. It only grows stems on the ground but no leaves. Sister Zhou, you have a really good memory. You remembered it after seeing it only once."

"Third sister, let's dig some out when we come back later!"

"Why dig it out? It can't be eaten, and it can't cure diseases. It's useless."

Wu Sanmei shook her head and explained in detail to Zhou Xiaozhou.

Zhou Xiaozhou smiled mysteriously and did not give an answer.

Fortunately, Wu Sanmei did not continue to ask.

The group of people walked very quickly and soon arrived at the creek.

The water in the creek had indeed dried up, and the bottom of the creek was covered with exposed rocks, with only a few spots still wet. Those spots had just been dug up by people to see if some water could still seep out from underneath.

Most of the villagers gathered upstream, where there was still a little water flowing down. Everyone waited there, waiting to scoop a bucket full of water so they could water the fields.

Ge Meili stepped forward, grabbed some soil with her hands, and rubbed it with two fingers, and fine sand fell down.

"It's all dry. All the water has evaporated."

Ge Meili was talking to Zhou Xiaozhou, and then her eyes were attracted by a smooth and shiny stone at her feet.

Why do we say that the stone is smooth and lustrous? Because under the bright sunlight, the stone really emits a lustrous light, which is particularly attractive.

Zhou Xiaozhou saw the person who was looking at her and talking just now, turned around, squatted down, picked up a stone and looked at it carefully.

What is this?

"What's wrong? What did you find?" Zhou Xiaozhou asked puzzledly.

"Shh! Let's talk about it when we get back." Ge Meili put the stone in her trouser pocket.

He was careless. Zhou Xiaozhou then remembered that there were villagers around him, so he immediately put on some serious manners.

"Little Brother Ge, what do you think? Can we dig some more water out of this creek?"

"I see, hanging?"

Just because the villagers had dug all these old holes and given up, she, a half-baked expert in geography, had no more say in the matter.

"Then we can only look for it in the mountains?" Zhou Xiaozhou said casually.

Sure enough, someone was fooled.

Wu Ercheng asked sincerely: "What are you looking for on the mountain?"

Zhou Xiaozhou looked around mysteriously, then made a trumpet shape with his hand and whispered to the Wu family members present: "It's my husband, he is a kind-hearted man. When he went back at noon, he was busy looking for the person who could find water. You won't believe it, but he really found him. He said that he had helped other villages find water sources before. My husband asked someone to help inquire about the whereabouts of that person and see if he can help you invite him over. But the price he asked is not low, I don't know if the village can afford it."

This was great news, and the little ones all showed joy on their faces.

Only Wu Wu had a puzzled look on his face. Where did these people come from? Are they really gods from heaven? They can find someone instantly when they say they are looking for him. Are they really that magical?

Does that mean we can also call the wind and rain, and a heavy rain will solve the problem of land drought in an instant?

Zhou Xiaozhou ignored his inner thoughts and immersed herself in great happiness.

Just now, Ge Meili couldn't hold it back and secretly told Zhou Xiaozhou that the stone in her pocket might be a jade seed material.

Zhou Xiaozhou was completely shocked. This was truly a windfall. The God of Wealth really favored me, Zhou Xiaozhou, and he stayed with me and refused to leave!

If Xiaozhou wants to get rich, no one can stop him!

The outward expression of his inner joy was that Zhou Xiaozhou could no longer hold back and pulled Ge Meili apart on the ground.

"Is this one?"

Ge Meili shook her head.

"What about this one? The skin looks very white!"

Ge Meili shook her head again.

"what about this?"

Ge Meili was speechless. "Little boat! Do you think jade is just a pebble? You can just pick it up from the river."

Zhou Xiaozhou was not discouraged and continued to pick.
