The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

The weather was fine and sunny.

Shiquangou, Frog Pond.

As Lu Yao walked among the grass and stones, he would occasionally startle the stone frogs hiding in the shadows, causing them to jump into the pond.

He came to a small, isolated pond in the corner, lifted the resin tile placed on the edge of the pond, and a group of small stone frogs scattered in all directions.

Stone frogs can lay eggs twice a year, with each female laying 1 to 2 eggs each time.

Lu Yao possesses a spiritual spring, which has an astonishing survival rate and a rapid growth speed.

The price of wild stone frogs is around 200 yuan per kilogram, so Lu Yao bought them for Li Yunbo for 200 yuan.

They only supply ten jin a day, which costs 2000 yuan, and 60000 yuan a month.

Li Yunbo was a big boss who supplied Chen Cai's circle of friends.

People in southern Guangdong have only one requirement for food: it must be fresh and delicious. A higher price is not a problem.

Lu Yao caught a few stone frogs, intending to take them home and make a nourishing stone frog soup for his family.

He came out of the frog pond and saw his grandmother pulling weeds in the field of cactus.

The old man was the kind of person who couldn't tolerate any flaws. He couldn't sit still as soon as the weeds sprouted in the field and had to pull them all out cleanly.

"Grandma, it's hot, let's go home."

Lu Yao called the old man home.

"It'll be ready soon, you can go back now."

The old man didn't even look up.

Lu Yao had no choice but to resort to his trump card: helping the old man pull weeds.

"go home."

Sure enough, the old man felt sorry for him.

It's fine for me to sunbathe, but I can't let my precious grandson get sunburned, even though he's more resistant to the sun than I am.

"Grandma, are there any places you and Grandpa really want to go but haven't been to yet, or any foods you really want to eat but haven't tried?"

Lu Yao drove his grandmother slowly along the mountain road.

"Grandma had no regrets in her life, except that she met a sister when the Chang Le Reservoir was being built. She was four years younger than Grandma and was eighty-seven years old this year. I don't know if she is still alive."

Grandma gazed at the distant mountains through the car window, her expression filled with reminiscence.

"Is your sister a local, or is she from out of town like you, working on the reservoir construction?"

Lu Yao asked.

"She wasn't a local, but she was a child bride whose parents died in the war, and she was adopted by the locals."

Grandma said.

"Do you remember which village she's from?"

Lu Yao asked.

"Qianshuizhai Liushui Village".

Grandma said.

The grandfather and grandson arrived at the courtyard while they were talking.

Back in the living room, Lu Yao used his phone to search for Qianshui Village and found that it was very close to Changle County.

There are several women from Chang Le in Maoyuan Township, and everyone calls them Chang Le Ma.

In the Lingdong area, besides football, Changle County is most famous for its Changle grandmothers.

The reason why the Chang Le Mas are famous throughout Lingdong is because of their sharp tongues.

When they start swearing, they use incredibly foul language, they can swear from sunrise to sunset without ever repeating themselves.

Lu Yao wasn't sure whether this was a rumor or the truth.

However, one thing is certain: none of the Chang Le women in Maoyuan Township are easy to mess with.

The eccentric man's aunt was from Changle County. Everyone in Maoyuan Township, from ninety-year-olds to nine-year-olds, had heard of her and witnessed her "power".

Lu Yao witnessed it firsthand when he was a child: Lu Yang's second uncle was so angry at her that he fainted on the spot and almost died young.

Lu Yao could only find Qianshui Village, but not Liushui Village.

"Grandma, didn't you ask the madwoman's aunt?"

Lu Yao asked his grandmother.

"She had many siblings, and her parents couldn't support so many children. She was adopted by A-Wu's grandmother when she was very young, and was considered a child bride. After that, she had no contact with her parents and siblings. She only knew where her family was from, but she didn't know Qianshui Village or Liushui Village."

Grandma said.

"The madman's eldest sister married into Changle County. I went over and asked him to ask if his eldest sister knew about Liushui Village."

After finding out the names of his grandmother's sisters, Lu Yao rode his motorcycle to the madman's house.

Just as he reached the intersection leading to the madman's house, a police car drove up in front of him and stopped in front of him.

"Handsome, could you tell me where Gu Sandi lives?"

The police officer driving the car leaned out of the window and asked Lu Yao with a smile.

"Gu San Di?"

"Officer, I've never heard of anyone here with the surname Gu. Are you sure you haven't got the wrong person?"

Seeing three police officers in the police car, Lu Yao realized that something must have happened. He also noticed that the person they were asking was someone he had never heard of before, so he became more vigilant.

Before the three police officers in the car could answer, the madman heard the noise and came over.

"Officer, I just heard you asking about Gu Sandi?"

The Madman's Way.

"Yes, do you know where she lives?"

"That's what the police officer in the car asked."

That's the one.

The madman pointed out the location to the three police officers.

Lu Yao looked in the direction he pointed, and there was his uncle's house.

"Your aunt's name is Gu Sandi?"

Lu Yao asked in surprise.

He didn't really know her name; he only knew that everyone called her Chang Le Ma.

"I only found out her name when I helped her take her household registration book to the township government to register."

The madman shrugged.

The police officer driving said thank you, started the car, and drove towards the mentally ill man's uncle's house.

"What happened to your aunt?"

Lu Yao watched the police car drive away and asked curiously.

"This morning, my second uncle's daughter went back to her parents' home and complained to my mother about my eldest aunt. Someone told her about it, and she rushed to my second uncle's house and started arguing with her niece."

"You know how fiery my cousin is. How could she tolerate my aunt pointing her finger at her and scolding her? So she started arguing with my aunt. If my mom and the others hadn't stopped her, they would have already started fighting."

"My aunt was furious, so she called the police."

The madman shrugged and walked home.

Lu Yao was speechless.

The aunt and niece argued and almost came to blows over a few idle words, which will be the talk of the town for a while.

Sigh, that's how it is in the countryside. People gossip behind each other's backs, and soon even the Greater Bay Area, hundreds of kilometers away, knows everything.

"What is it?"

The madman asked while setting out the tea set.

Lu Yao came to see him at this hour, it certainly wasn't just to have tea.

"Your brother-in-law's family seems to live not far from Qianshui Village, right? Ask them if they know Liushui Village."

Lu Yaodao.

Why are you asking that?

The madman picked up his phone and made a video call to his brother-in-law.

"My grandmother met a girl when she was working on the Changle Reservoir. She was from Liushui Village. I want to know if she is still alive."

Lu Yaodao.

"She must be in her eighties or nineties, so there's a high chance she's no longer alive."

The Madman's Way.

"There used to be a village called Liushui. Not long after the reservoir was dug, all the surrounding villages moved away and were merged into other villages. As for which village Liushui was merged into, I don't know."

"I'll ask around for you, but whether I can get the information depends on luck."

"That's what the madman's brother-in-law said."

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

Lu Yaodao.

"I hope this helps."

"That's what the madman's brother-in-law said."
