Chapter 191 of the serialization has begun.
Some people, having finally managed to wait until the book appreciation event to read the storybooks, excitedly opened them.
They hadn't seen Wuming's stories for a long time, and some of them stayed up all night to reread the previous plots, so they could seamlessly continue reading the following plots today.
What they didn't know was that this episode's script was inspired by Ye Yuwu, who happened to be imprisoned, and the Grand Tutor just randomly came up with some new ideas.
At this moment, everyone opened the storybook and were surprised to find that there was a recap: last time, it was mentioned that Luo Nanzhi discovered that Chef Zhang had framed her.
Luo Nanzhi first frightened him by playing tricks, and then she took action to punish him.
After she had Chef Zhang completely under her thumb, she encountered significantly fewer obstacles in the kitchen.
Luo Nanzhi's cooking was excellent, and the prefect and his wife were very pleased with her, so they gave her three days of rest.
Luo Nanzhi returned home happily.
Her father had been unwell for the past few days, so he quit his job at the restaurant and returned to the village with Xianyu.
Fortunately, their place was not far from the town, and Luo Nanzhi arrived at the village entrance in less than half a day by oxcart.
The village here is deserted, with only a few households living quite far apart.
Luo Nanzhi walked on the ridge of the field. She had been to her hometown a few times and remembered the way. She could reach her place by crossing a few abandoned fields.
As she was walking along the ridge of the field, she suddenly saw several birds circling in front of her, seemingly eating insects. Luo Nanzhi ignored them and walked in their direction.
Luo Nanzhi walked through the flock of birds, and as soon as they saw her approach, they flew away into the distance.
She was walking when she suddenly slipped and fell, and she quickly got up.
The sun was high in the sky when she suddenly spotted something round on the edge of the field. She grabbed the plant and lifted it up, only to find that it had roots growing on it, and underneath the roots were many of these round things, and there were quite a lot of them.
It was only then that she realized that it was because this thing was exposed that she stepped on it, causing her to slip and fall, and then she kicked the thing out.
She grabbed the green stem of the thing and looked closely; the round thing was covered with a layer of mud.
If you look closely, you'll see that some of them have holes pecked out by birds.
He guessed that it must have been pecked out by the birds that had been circling near the edge of the field, with the intention of eating it.
It seems this thing is non-toxic.
Luo Nanzhi thought to herself.
Then she saw the same green plant near the edge of the field, so she dug it up. As she pulled the plant, a whole bunch of things were uprooted.
Luo Nanzhi was amazed that this plant produced an excessive amount of fruit.
Besides the bunch she uprooted, many other fruits were buried in the soil. These fruits were very large, the largest of which was as big as her palm.
……
At the book appreciation event, someone wondered, "What exactly is this thing in the soil? I've never heard of anything round growing in the ground, where you can pull out a whole bunch of them!"
"As far as I know, the only plant that grows underground and has roots and stems full of fruit after being pulled out seems to be the ground bean!"
"But the ground bean isn't round, and the book describes it as growing very large."
"Mr. Wuming wouldn't have written something like this, would he? Does such a thing even exist?"
"Is this food edible?"
"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat! You can't just eat anything, or you'll get food poisoning!"
"It shouldn't be that bad. The birds ate it, so it shouldn't be poisonous. Luo Nanzhi must have the same idea as me, which is why she wanted to pull it back!"
"If this thing were truly poisonous, the protagonist would have died long ago. If the protagonist were gone, how could the story continue? It must not be poisonous."
The group then engaged in a heated discussion about whether the food was poisonous.
Someone muttered quietly, "Doesn't anyone want to know what this thing is?" How did the conversation get so off-topic!
At this moment, not only those below had doubts, but also Zhao Taifu and Sun Xianren, who were sitting in the pavilion, exchanged glances when they read this passage.
They felt that this thing must be extraordinary, because Wuming wouldn't just write down something like that!
So they continued to look, and sure enough, they discovered that this thing was not as simple as they had imagined.
In the book, Luo Nanzhi saw that she had no tools and could not dig them out, so she could only take two bunches of fruit and return to her hometown first.
As soon as Luo Nanzhi returned home, the people inside immediately came out upon hearing the noise. The two were surprised that Luo Nanzhi had returned so soon.
The two were delighted to see her and were about to go up to greet her when they noticed that she was holding something in her hand.
So he quickly asked her what was in her hand.
Luo Nanzhi explained that she happened to find the fruit on her way back, and also mentioned that she went to work at the prefect's mansion, without telling them about the master threatening her.
Knowing that she was home for her holiday, her father was overjoyed and ran to the kitchen to cook her a delicious meal.
As soon as Luo's father left, Xianyu noticed the mud on her body and quickly pulled her inside to clean up.
After she finished tidying up, she went to the yard to check the bunch of fruit. Old Man Luo was still holding a kitchen knife. He and Xianyu stood in front of the bunch of fruit, wondering what it was for.
Luo's father was already used to his daughter always coming up with strange and unusual things.
I just haven't gotten used to it yet.
He didn't understand why his wife had brought such a strange thing home.
Luo Nanzhi cut off the rootstock and casually threw it in the yard, leaving the round fruit. She washed off the soil from the fruit, revealing the yellow peel.
After she peeled the fruit, there was a white, sticky substance on the knife. She quickly rinsed it off, and after cleaning it, she opened her mouth to eat it.
Xianyu, who was standing nearby, was startled and tried to stop her, but it was too late. Luo Nanzhi took a bite and then quickly spat it out.
Startled, Xianyu rushed to her side to check on her condition.
"Whether it's poisonous or not is still unknown, how could you have eaten it!"
Everyone at the book appreciation event was taken aback by Luo Nanzhi's behavior.
"This Luo Nanzhi is too fierce! She just bit without saying a word. She has to be ruthless! No wonder she can come up with so many strange and wonderful things."
At this moment, someone suddenly said, "I seriously suspect that Mr. Wuming did these things about Luo Nanzhi, otherwise how could Mr. Wuming have written them so vividly?"
"Haha, thinking about it, that makes sense. Otherwise, how could Mr. Wuming have written about all these strange and unusual things that we've never seen before?"
"Hey, stop chatting and look at what's next! It's even more exciting now!"
Someone suddenly spoke up, telling them to stop chatting. The group stopped joking and looked down.
After Luo Nanzhi spat out the fruit, Xianyu wouldn't let her touch it anymore.
Luo Nanzhi thought it wouldn't be a waste, so she fed it to the chickens at home.
When she finished her lunch and went to check on the chickens, she found that the chickens had eaten most of the fruit.
It looks like we should be able to eat this fruit.
She held her breath and thought.
