Make a fortune by farming in another world

Chapter 15

"Auntie, don't move." Yu Zhou said as he quickly lifted the backpack away.

He was too fast. Although Auntie Gui reached into the backpack covered with leaves, her fingertips only touched something slightly cool. Before she could feel what it was, the backpack was already lifted away.

"What?" Aunt Gui failed to succeed in her attack, so she raised one eye and asked, "I bought a good thing, but Auntie can't even look at it?"

"Auntie misunderstood," Yu Zhou said with a sincere expression, but he didn't let her touch the basket at all, "There are seeds of itchy grass on it. I'm afraid that the wind will blow on you after I open it, which will make you uncomfortable."

Then he asked, "I see that your fingertips seem a little red. Didn't you touch it just now?"

Itchy grass was told to Yu Zhou by Chen Feng. They worked in Luofengpo in those days and spent a long time together. Chen Feng was a chatterbox. He talked a lot to Yu Zhou, including this itchy grass. He said that once people touch the seeds, they will have rashes and unbearable itching in less than half a day. The plant can repel mosquitoes. Mashing the leaves and applying them to the place where mosquitoes bite is even more effective.

At that time, Yu Zhou thought that he could plant some such grass around the house. At most, he could just watch it and cut it early to prevent it from producing seeds.

Just now, when Yu Zhou saw Aunt Gui reaching out to touch the things in the backpack, he felt disgusted. Seeing that her hair was greasy and her clothes were not very clean, he suddenly came up with this plan.

Fortunately, after he came out of the town, he broke some large leaves and covered the backpack, otherwise he would not be able to scare people.

Aunt Gui looked at Yu Zhou suspiciously, "Don't talk nonsense, what do you buy the seeds of itchy grass for?"

"I planted them around the yard to prevent mosquitoes," Yu Zhou frowned and asked hesitantly, "Aunt, don't you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Aunt Gui didn't believe it at first, but Yu Zhou's attitude made her suspicious, especially at this moment, she felt that the back of her ear suddenly itched a little abnormally, and she wanted to reach out and scratch it.

While they were talking, the three people behind them also came over, and the woman asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Aunt Gui opened her mouth.

Yu Zhou didn't give her a chance to speak, and immediately replied anxiously: "I got some itchy grass seeds from the town, and Aunt Gui seemed to have accidentally touched them just now."

"Then why are you still standing here? Go back and soak them in some rice washing water." The woman said anxiously.

Another man who looked like Aunt Gui's husband said: "Can't you put away the itchy grass seeds properly?"

Yu Zhou couldn't help but roll his eyes, but since he chose to respond in a tactful way, he couldn't yell back that it was her who put her hand into the backpack. He could only curl his lips and whisper: "I didn't expect Aunt Gui's hand to be so fast, and I didn't have time to stop it."

"Why are you still saying this?" The woman who asked Aunt Gui to go back quickly just now asked Aunt Gui, "Did you touch the things in the backpack?"

"It seems... I touched a little bit." Aunt Gui recalled the feeling of her fingertips just now, and then couldn't help scratching behind her ears again.

The woman leaned over and took a look: "It's all red, go back and wash it."

After she said that, Aunt Gui felt that in addition to the back of her ears, other parts of her body began to itch, so she didn't care about Yu Zhou anymore, and hurried back with her husband.
