I traveled through time, this is unscientific

"How could they eat a dead person?" Zhou Xiaozhou was so shocked that he even stopped walking, and Zhang also stopped.

Seeing Zhou Xiaozhou's puzzled look, Zhang thought for a while and said, "Just say that they ate ground beans. Someone in the village happened to come back from there and told my father-in-law about it. My father-in-law then forbade the villagers to eat this anymore."

Being the head of a village is not just an empty title, but also the lives of the young and old in the village. Someone in the neighboring village died after eating ground beans, so for the sake of safety, it is best for the village here not to eat this thing anymore.

After all, it is a newly discovered food and no one has eaten it before. If someone really doesn't obey instructions and eats it to death, then they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Zhou Xiaozhou seemed to be thinking about something after hearing what Zhang said.

"Didn't Xiaobao's father and his second uncle eat it too? Did they have any reaction?" Zhou Xiaozhou decided to ask clearly.

It's not that she likes to meddle in other people's business, but now someone in the village is secretly eating this thing, and it's still a life! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. She was born under the red flag, so she still has a basic kind heart.

Zhang answered without thinking this time: "No reaction, but his second uncle said it was delicious and filling. I actually asked her father to give me a little taste, and it tasted really delicious. I don't know where the poison is hidden."

This made Zhou Xiaozhou even more confused, and he didn't know whether it was really poisonous or if he had eaten something else. Foods interact with each other, and some things just can't be eaten together. Putting them together will easily produce a chemical reaction, and it will be poisonous if eaten.

"That's strange." The man said as he walked, and soon he walked into the yard.

Wu Wen and Old Wu came back first. At this time, a small long table had been set up in the yard, and the second one was being nailed on.

Zhou Xiaozhou didn't expect him to act so quickly. The slight unpleasantness in the conversation just now was immediately replaced by the joy of seeing what he wanted. He smiled and pulled Wu Sanmei and Wu Xiaobao forward to take a look at the new table.

Old Wu was sitting on the steps in front of the main room, smoking his pipe.

Zhang quickly went up to Old Wu and told him what had just happened in the village. "Dad, we just encountered something in the village."

Old Wu took the pipe from his mouth and listened carefully to what she said next.

"Someone is secretly digging beans from the ground to eat." Zhang spoke in a calm tone, but her heart was not at peace.

But Old Wu couldn't sit still anymore.

"Who is so desperate?" Wu Wen also heard it, and he said this with a frown.

"It looks like a child, only about this tall," Zhou Xiaozhou drew a few strokes, "a black mass, only roughly recognizable as a person. Right? Xiaobao!"

Xiaobao was reluctant to take his hands off the small low table and could only nod vigorously.

"Don't all the children this young in the village go to school?" Old Wu thought for a moment and asked Wu Sanmei, "Did you see the person? Can you recognize who it is?"

Wu Sanmei shook her head: "I ran too fast, and I only saw a shadow tail."

Even if Wu Sanmei was familiar with the children in the village, she would not be able to recognize the tail of a person's shadow.

Old Wu fell into deep thought.

"Maybe someone in the village knows? How about asking the villagers tomorrow?" Zhou Xiaozhou felt that if a family really couldn't get enough food, someone in this village should know about it, given that it wasn't a big village.

"How about we go to the village and ask tomorrow?" Wu Wen was still quite enthusiastic.

Wu Sanmei seemed to have thought of something at this time, her eyes lit up: "Grandpa, I think I heard from the big girl earlier that there was some noise in the old house behind their house recently."

Wu Sanmei ran to Old Wu's feet, took her grandfather's pipe, and helped fill it with tobacco.

"The girl said that she seemed to smell something burning when she was sleeping at home a few nights ago. It wasn't just her who smelled it, her mother smelled it too, and she even called her father to go back in the middle of the night to check. Her father said there was no one there, but there was a pile of burnt firewood, maybe someone's kid was naughty and went there to play with fire."

Wu Sanmei looked at her grandfather and asked, "Do you think someone is really making a fire there to cook? Maybe they are burning ground beans!"

Zhou Xiaozhou felt that Wu Sanmei must know something about the inside story, otherwise she wouldn't have explained it so clearly.

Maybe the village chief Wu is the helmsman in charge of the general direction of the village, but there are always details that are out of sight. The children who play together in the village every day may be the ones who really have first-hand information about the village.

Old Wu was indeed persuaded by his granddaughter. He assigned his son to do something: "Wu Wen, go tomorrow and ask Zhao Jiaming what happened. Also ask Qian Man. Their two families live next door, so maybe he heard something."

Wu Wen nodded in agreement and continued with his work. Wu Sanmei had achieved her goal and came to watch her father make the small table. Zhang went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare the family's washing.

"Dad, can you make a small table for me too?" Wu Sanmei looked for a long time and said this.

Wu Wenyu was surprised that his daughter also wanted to go to school, but he still nodded and agreed.

Wu Sanmei happily went to the kitchen to help her mother.

As for Zhou Xiaozhou, he had already hidden in Wu Sanmei's boudoir when Old Wu told Wu Wenmingtian to do something.

The reason is simple: the phone was vibrating all the time.

This surprised Zhou Xiaozhou.

Zhou Xiaozhou originally thought that the phone could only receive signals at noon when she was at the old cemetery. Because she received signals and made calls twice, both times at the old cemetery, and both times were close to noon.

Everything has its own rules. But tonight, the vibration of her cell phone broke her little happiness.

When the phone first vibrated, Zhou Xiaozhou thought it was the alarm ringing, but she didn't have anything that required her to set an alarm at night, so she quickly dismissed the idea.

Wu Sanmei was talking to Wu Wen outside the room, so Zhou Xiaozhou couldn't wait to take out his cell phone. There was an unfamiliar number on it, and he didn't know whether to answer it or not.

In fact, she knew a little bit in her heart that the strange number at this time was not the business hours for those who apply for loans, sell houses, or sell stocks to discuss big business. The only possible person could be - a scumbag.

When a scumbag calls, should I answer it or not? That is the question.

If he answered it, it would seem as if he could forgive him; if he didn't answer it, Zhou Xiaozhou was actually a little curious about how the scumbag got through on the phone, and why Lu Linlin and the others couldn't get through to her except during the noon class?
