Time pays off

Going out to collect folk songs is a very comfortable life.Zeng Sixian's heart, which had been frozen for more than ten years, slowly came back to life with a different brilliance. He was still the cold and arrogant Zeng Sixian back then.

As soon as Jiangcheng's treatment was over, Meng Jing brought her back to the capital to find the doctor recommended by Shen Nian, and stayed with Zeng Sixian in the hospital for a month until the wound healed completely. On the day of discharge, Meng Jing invited professional personnel to come Installing prosthetic limbs on Zeng Sixian, the prosthetic limbs are not only exquisite and practical, but also very lifelike.After installation, put down the trousers, and it is completely impossible to see that this is a disabled person.

In the ward, everyone retreated, leaving only the two of them. Meng Jing had tears in her eyes, biting the corner of her lips and sobbing softly.

Zeng Sixian tried to walk up to Meng Jingyi step by step, hugged her in his arms, and kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but his own tears fell down one after another. The more than ten years of suffering of separation and illness were finally over. , she can still stand up, walk, and hug her Jingyi. She is very grateful to Jingyi. If it weren't for her bravery and persistence, she is still nestled in a small remote country, sad, and it is impossible to stand again. up day.

She wants to make up for Jing Yi and make up for the debts of the past ten years. She also wants to give Jing Yi a wedding.

After crying a lot in the ward, Meng Jingyi quickly adjusted her mood. She asked someone to bring new clothes, changed all the clothes on Zeng Sixian, and threw away the wheelchair she had been sitting in for so many years. Meng Jingyi said, "Zeng Sixian, the past is over, we are not allowed to mention it in the future, starting today, everything is brand new"

"Okay." Zeng Sixian cooperated with all her decisions, and looked at her Jing Yi with a doting face, the bright and energetic Jing Yi.After thinking for a while, I said, "Then let's start with getting to know each other again. Let me introduce myself first."

"My name is Zeng Sixian, Zeng of Zeng Guo, one string and one column of thoughts of Hua Nian, and the string of fifty strings for no reason." Zeng Sixian said with a smile, her eyes were still a little red, and her face was pale because of illness. Pale, looks lovely.

"My name is Meng Jingyi, Mencius's Meng, quiet and quiet, one string and one column thinking about the year." Meng Jingyi also looked at Zeng Sixian, remembering the day when everyone introduced themselves in the classroom at the beginning of the freshman year. This is how Sixian introduced herself, and it happened that she was ranked behind Zeng Sixian. When introducing herself, she paraphrased a sentence from Zeng Sixian. Introducing yourself is the only one, simple and easy to remember.But that day she used Zeng Sixian's words instead. At that time Zeng Sixian looked back at her, and then they easily remembered each other.

Standing in the ward, they all look nostalgic. It has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye. They are not young anymore, but it is not too late. They still have decades to stay together. We must cherish every minute and every moment now. one second.

"Nice to meet you!"

They said at the same time, reached out at the same time, held each other's hands, and hugged each other tightly.

After coming out of the hospital, both of them felt indescribably relaxed, as if they had gained a new life, Meng Jing deliberately walked slowly so that Zeng Sixian would not have to work so hard.Send messages while walking, and share the good news with the younger sisters.

On the way, Zeng Sixian proposed to go back to school to have a look, but Meng Jingyi didn't think much about it, and she hasn't been back to school for a long time.The two took a taxi to the school. Today is the weekend. After registering, the guard let them in.

Based on his memory, Zeng Sixian led Meng Jingyi all the way to the place where they broke up. This is the place where they parted ways, and it is also the place where all these years of dreaming back at midnight, tormenting them, and full of painful memories.

"Jingyi, I know that I am not qualified to make a request now, but I, I still want to try! Jingyi, I am willing to swear for the rest of my life that I will always love you and spoil you until the end of my life, and you are still willing to be my daughter Are you friends?" Zeng Sixian found the place where he said to break up back then, knelt down on one knee with that good leg, and looked at Meng Jingyi with a slightly apprehensive expression.

"You, who told you to kneel down, don't you want your legs?" Meng Jing was startled by Zeng Sixian's movement, and anxiously wanted to pull him up.

"Jing Yi!" Zeng Sixian looked at her firmly, and called her name again. She wanted Jing Yi to give her an answer, knowing that this was a bit of a force, she was not such a person before, and she had never been so thick-skinned , but when she meets Jingyi, she is willing to be a rascal.

"You bastard! You knew I would love you, but you did it on purpose!" Meng Jing scolded, but she squatted down in front of Zeng Sixian very softly and said, "Get up, old arms and old legs, what are you kneeling for? Don’t be afraid of being laughed at by others.”

Zeng Sixian reached out to untie the necklace around her neck, and there was a small diamond ring hanging on it. This diamond ring was bought with the money from the first painting she sold. She wore it around her neck and never took it off. She regarded it as a Think about it, touch it every time her leg hurts, and give herself the belief in treatment. At that time, she made up her mind to wear this ring on Meng Jing's hand when she recovered from illness. She never expected to wait so long. One day, how could she give up so easily.

Meng Jingyi looked at the ring in her palm, and her eyes slowly turned red. This ring was so familiar to her. When they first got together, they dreamed of the wedding scene. Meng Jingyi drew the ring pattern casually. Remember, I actually ordered a ring of the same style.

Meng Jing touched her knees to the ground, and hugged her tightly. All the grievances, unwillingness, pain of parting, and haze seemed not so important anymore. Her obsession for so many years, and her pursuit abroad , that's all they want, so why bother to push her away tenderly to make things difficult for each other.

Zeng Sixian took the opportunity to push the ring into her finger, pursed his lips and snickered.He took Meng Jingyi to stand up neatly, and led her to the depths of the campus. His steps were so fast that Meng Jingyi almost couldn't keep up with her.

They stopped behind the rockery. This was the place where they used to date. At that time, Meng Jingyi took the initiative to abduct her here, and pressed her on the rockery to kiss her. Zeng Sixian rarely talked and had a low-key personality. Li always couldn't let go, but Meng Jingyi didn't care, and never cared about other people's eyes.

Because Meng Jingyi likes to be unrestrained, Zeng Sixian gradually didn't care so much about other people's eyes, and accompanied her in high-profile couples in school.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Sixian would bring her here, Meng Jing was taken aback for a moment.

Zeng Sixian picked her up and pulled her over, leaned against the rockery, gently separated her back from the stone with the back of his hand, and kissed Meng Jingyi like Meng Jingyi kissed her back then.

They have been running for four years, but they are still as fresh as before, as if they have never been separated.It's just that Zhang Yang's person was replaced by Zeng Sixian, and Meng Jingyi became the one who meekly cooperated with her.

Life is short, and the rest of life is long, as long as we can be together, it's not too late.After all, their happy time will come!

71. Mountain Patrol

Knowing that Zeng Sixian recovered from her illness, Cheng Qinglan was happier than anyone else. After so many years of loneliness, the senior sister finally has someone to accompany her.I really want to visit them in the capital, but the senior sister said that they will go abroad first to meet Zeng Sixian's family.

Life returned to calm, Shen Nian was still very busy every day, Cheng Qinglan concentrated on sorting out her novels, Mr. Shen added a lot of details to the notes left by Grandpa Cheng on the basis of her sorting out, restoring the background of that era, thrilling, Ups and downs.

Cheng Qinglan chose to publish the novel on a well-known local forum in Jiangcheng. She didn't know which army my grandpa belonged to and which battle he participated in. She had looked for the relevant department, but it was so long ago that she couldn't find any relevant information.She was not reconciled, it shouldn't be like this, as a martyr, her little grandfather became an anonymous person, and he couldn't enjoy the honor he deserved. The key was that on the Cheng family's genealogy, the two characters after the little grandfather's name were "less death".She wanted so much to do something for him!

Uncle Wu and the others have already planted rice on all the land contracted by them. The large-scale rice transplanter they hired is very labor-saving, and they don’t need to do it themselves. The scale effect is beginning to show. Unlike other families in the village, a few acres of land are blocked by fields. , It is not convenient for large-scale mechanical operation.

Cheng Qinglan's sister-in-law has been pregnant for several months, and her cousin Cheng Qingliang is now at home every day. In addition to managing the farmland, he also started a live broadcast to show netizens the production of rice and the customs of Nanhu Lake.He has learned professional agricultural knowledge and introduced the best seeds. The taste of the rice grown must be different from the previous ones. In the future, the rice will not worry about being sold, and the family is full of enthusiasm.

In the blink of an eye, it was July, Shen Nian's grandfather passed away, the old man passed away peacefully, and passed away with a smile in his sleep.Shen Nian's grandmother was not too sad, she took care of him with all her heart for more than ten years, and when she reached her old age, she thought about everything.

Cheng Qinglan and Shen Nian went back to Shencheng to attend the funeral together. Grandpa Shen was not buried in Shencheng. He had a will long ago and hoped to be buried in his hometown of Jiangcheng. The Jiang family had no relatives in Jiangcheng, and the ancestral grave could not be found long ago.In order to fulfill his father's wish, Jiang Yutang brought his ashes back to Jiangcheng and buried them in the cemetery in Nanhu Town.

Shen Nian's grandmother was also brought to Jiangcheng, and she happened to be able to be with Grandma Cheng. The two old sisters have been in love for decades, and it is rare to be able to stay together in their later years.

A few days after Grandpa Shen's funeral, it was Cheng Qinglan's birthday, which was the year of birth, and the family didn't have a big event this year, after all, Grandpa Shen just passed away.The two families, together with Grandma Cheng's family, had a meal together.

The birthday gift Shen Nian gave her was a custom-made zodiac gold, three very cute little animals made of pure gold, namely a dragon, a mouse and a calf. The exquisite dragon plate was attached to the little mouse's neck, like a little The necklace of the mouse is very exquisitely crafted, and the little golden dragon can be taken off.As for why there are cows?Next year is the year of the ox. The two of them are going to have a baby this year. If they are born next year, they will be a baby ox. This zodiac sign is their family of three.

After Cheng Qinglan received the gift, she instantly understood Shen Nian's intentions, and accepted it with a smile. This gift from Dr. Shen won her heart. Gold can be stored forever, and it is very commemorative.

Putting the three little golden beasts on the bed, Cheng Qinglan remembered that they would have a baby in two more months, and suddenly thought of asking Shen Nian, what is the specific process, will it be troublesome?Previously, the media only announced the results and did not go into details, so Cheng Qinglan was a little curious as to what preparations they were going to make.

Shen Nian leaned against the bedside, seeing her curious baby, didn't know how to answer her for a while, these details will be reported to the relevant departments, and the staff will inform them in detail, because it involves a lot of privacy. For same-sex couples who have undergone childbirth procedures, other people will not know these details.

In the past, in the laboratory, everyone would discuss these things when they sat together. At that time, they didn't think there was anything, just the need of work.Shen Nian had to tell her daughter about this meeting, she was inexplicably ashamed and couldn't open her mouth.

"You really want to know?" Shen Nian said uncomfortably, his eyes dodged, not looking at Cheng Qinglan

Cheng Qinglan didn't know what she couldn't say about this, Shen Nian's performance aroused her curiosity even more, she nodded firmly, anyway, it's not long anyway, if she knew earlier, she would be mentally prepared.

Shen Nian resignedly carried her over, put her on his lap and sat down.

Cheng Qinglan naturally put her arms around the back of Shen Nian's neck, watching her leaning closer to whisper in her ear, what Shen Nian said behind her made her eyes widen, and her face slowly turned red.

After Shen Nian finished speaking, she backed away a little distance, looked at the young girl in her arms with red ears and bowed head, Shen Nian pursed her lips and smiled lightly, she didn't feel uncomfortable now.

"You're still laughing!" Cheng Qinglan was so annoyed by her laughter, she raised her hand to hit Shen Nian, and buried her face in her neck.God!This really refreshed her cognition, completely different from what she had expected, especially when Dr. Shen told her about it in a serious manner.

It didn't hurt for Shen Nian to be hammered, he thought it was fun to tease her, oh, look at this shy little face!Smiling, he held her hand in the palm of his hand, not letting her move.

Cheng Qinglan suddenly thought of something, sat up and asked Shen Nian seriously, "Did you guys discuss this at the research institute?"

Shen Nian nodded and said, "Yes! We need to do some research, so what if we don't discuss it!"

"You, you discussed that with them?!" Cheng Qinglan looked at Shen Nian angrily and said

At this moment, Shen Nian thought that she might have misunderstood, so he patted her butt, and said helplessly, "What are you thinking, we are discussing related topics, not what I will tell you later!"

After hearing this, Cheng Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief. It was really hard for her doctor Shen to discuss such a private topic with others.Fortunately not!

At the end of the summer vacation, Cheng Qinglan returned to school after the long vacation. The students in the class were very happy to see her come back. Cheng Qinglan asked for leave for this semester. Their Chinese class was taken by a retired teacher. The big teacher has a rigid class style, which makes the students very uncomfortable.

Teacher Cheng is so nice. The atmosphere in the class is relaxed. The young teachers pay attention to entertaining while teaching. Teacher Cheng will draw pictures for them during the lecture. What difficult ancient poems to memorize can be decomposed by Mr. Cheng through a few pictures. It is very easy to understand and write down. I was very impressed during the exam, and there was no need to memorize it by rote.Also, Mr. Cheng likes to tell them stories. He can easily learn the historical figures and backgrounds of various dynasties. Their history teacher does not know as much as Mr. Cheng.In their minds, Teacher Cheng is a walking encyclopedia. Listening to her Chinese class is lively and interesting. Of course, there is also Teacher Cheng who is beautiful. Looking at her makes her feel good, and learning nothing is boring.

Cheng Qinglan doesn't know the minds of the younger students. She concentrates on teaching and preparing lessons every day. After the second year of junior high school, the difficulty of the course also increases. Next year, these children will take the senior high school entrance examination. Now that they have laid a good foundation, they can relax in the review of the third year of junior high school .

Not long after school started, the National Day holiday came. The Shen family did not return to Shencheng during this year's holiday. Now that Shen Nian's grandmother is also in Jiangcheng, there is no need to return to Shencheng. It seems that they are already used to the rural life in Jiangcheng.

October 10rd was Shen Nian's birthday, and Shen Hong also came from Shanghai to celebrate his daughter's birthday. He reluctantly left after the holiday and returned to Shanghai alone.

Although October 10th is a weekend, today is a normal working day because of the national day shift shift. They have been looking forward to it for a year, and finally this day has come.Cheng Qinglan took a day off, and happily went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Shen Nian early in the morning, but they didn't tell the elders at home.Compared with registering for a marriage certificate and obtaining a marriage certificate, the childbirth procedures are very complicated, and they waited until the afternoon to complete the relevant procedures.

The picture of receiving the certificate last year is still in front of my eyes, and it has been a year in the blink of an eye. Time really flies. If all goes well, they will have a baby next year. Cheng Qinglan is very happy when she thinks of this. She really wants someone who looks like Shen Nian Zai Zai, to make up for the regret of not seeing Shen Nian's childhood appearance.Shen Nian is different from Cheng Qinglan, she refuses to take pictures, and there are almost no pictures of her childhood.

The two completed the procedures silently. Shen Nian did not choose the method of extracting genes in the laboratory, but chose a relatively natural method. Although the probability of conception may not be as high as that in the laboratory, she and Cheng Qinglan are more willing to let nature take its course.Going through a laboratory is actually no different from a test-tube baby. Cheng Qinglan doesn't like going through this method. The main reason is that she trusts Shen Nian. Shen Nian is not only a doctor, but also a scientist who participated in the research experiment back then.

When she got home, Shen Nian took out the medicinal materials prepared in advance, and she decocted the medicine with her own hands. They needed a daily dose of medicine. Grandma Cheng thought they were just doing normal body conditioning, and didn't care.

They don't tell the elders because they are afraid of psychological pressure, and it's not too late to tell them when they have a baby!

In the evening, Dr. Shen personally taught Qinglan, the so-called "raise a soldier for a thousand days, use a soldier for a while" Shen Nian who has insisted on training for half a year. Although his arms and waist and abdomen muscles are not as good as Cheng Qinglan's, the muscle lines are obvious. Look It feels very powerful.

Cheng Qinglan is still shy, but she is willing to cooperate with Shen Nian for the sake of Xiao Zai Zai.

Shen Nian used to pinch Cheng Qinglan's pulse every morning, but after last night, now she has to check her pulse every morning and night, for fear of causing pressure on Cheng Qinglan, Shen Nian waited for her to fall asleep before feeling her pulse.In fact, Shen Nian is looking forward to the arrival of the little cub more than anyone else, hoping that he can perceive the existence of the little life in the first place.

In late October, the rice planted by Uncle Wu’s family matures late, and it will be golden, and it is estimated that it will be harvested by the end of the month. Cheng Qinglan’s sister-in-law is about to give birth in three months, and Aunt Wu is taking care of her at home.Cheng Qinglan often went to chat with her sister-in-law on weekends, touched her belly, and couldn't help but look forward to the arrival of this little life. The Cheng family hadn't had a new member for a long time.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the Double Ninth Festival, Jiangcheng has the custom of climbing high for the Double Ninth Festival. Many people in the village go to the Taoist temple to burn incense together.

This year's Double Ninth Festival just happened to be on the weekend, and Cheng Qinglan suddenly thought that she had been talking about going to the back mountain to see it, but she hadn't been there until now. Isn't it just right today?Thinking of this, she excitedly ran to Shen Nian and said, "Shen Nian, let's go patrolling the mountains!"

Shen Nian was stunned after hearing this, and asked her uncertainly, "Mountain Patrol?"

"It's the back mountain, did you forget? The back mountain belongs to our family" Cheng Qinglan said while dragging Shen Nian's hand and leading her out.

Shen Nian remembered, there was such a thing, before Cheng Qingganglan showed her the contract documents.It turns out that Xunshan said this, which is really a strange statement.Shen Nian smiled and said, "I remembered, I know you are a little landlord!"

The two went downstairs hand in hand. When they got downstairs, Cheng Qinglan wanted to call all the elders. The Double Ninth Festival is also a festival for respecting the elderly. Everyone goes to the Taoist temple to burn incense. When they come back, they can come back from the back mountain, which is a little closer.Mr. Shen didn't go to the medical clinic today, but he was very interested in Cheng Qinglan's saying that there was a Taoist temple on the mountain, so he readily agreed to go with him.

It's close, and there's no need to drive there. Cheng Qinglan walked in the front with Mr. Shen, chatting with him about the Taoist temple on the mountain.Grandma Cheng couldn't walk a long way, she was sitting in a wheelchair, Shen Nian pushed her, Jiang Yutang held Grandma Shen Nian's arm.

Shen Nian looked at Cheng Qinglan's figure, remembered what she said about patrolling the mountains in the morning, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her girl led a group of elders, she really looked like a little landlord patrolling the mountains.As for the landlord's wife or something. . .

When Cheng Qinglan was a child, she often went up the mountain with her grandparents. The Taoist priests all knew her grandfather and respected him very much. I remember that every time the Taoist host came out to greet him in person.In the Taoist temple, an old Taoist priest surnamed Qin was still friends with his grandfather. When the grandfather was alive, the Taoist priest would often come down the mountain to sit at home. Later, when the grandfather passed away, they lost contact when they went to the capital. An old Daoist grandpa came to do the ritual, and Cheng Qinglan had never seen him since.

In the past two years, Cheng Qinglan has also been to the Taoist temple several times, and asked other Taoist priests for information. They said that Taoist priest Qin did not know which cave he was cultivating in, and his whereabouts were uncertain.If he doesn't come back, no one can find him.

Cheng Qinglan thought that today is the Double Ninth Festival, maybe Grandpa Daochang will return to the Taoist temple, if he happens to meet, he can introduce him to Grandpa Shen!

When Mr. Shen heard that he was a friend of brother Daokang, he was a little curious about what kind of person he was?He has always been interested in Taoism, and he really wants to see what the Taoist temple looks like down the mountain, and maybe he can meet an expert.It's close, and I can often visit the Taoist Temple in the future.

The front mountain of Guling Mountain is more than two kilometers away from the village, and the autumn air is crisp and clear. A group of people will not feel tired while walking and chatting, and they will soon reach the foot of the mountain!There is a cable car on the mountain, considering that there are many elderly people, Cheng Qinglan ran to buy tickets, and they took the cable car up the mountain.

There are quite a lot of people going up the mountain today, and there was a queue for the cable car, and it took a few minutes to reach the top of the mountain after getting on the cable car. The Taoist temple has been around for some years, and the gate of the mountain is empty. The scale of the building behind is not grand, with red walls and gray tiles, and many tiles. There are weeds growing, the walls are mottled, and there are traces of years of vicissitudes everywhere.Taoism advocates nature, and the original style of the mountain was not destroyed when it was built. Every plant and tree are protected to the greatest extent, and man and nature coexist harmoniously.

Cheng Qinglan heard from her grandfather when she was a child that Guling Mountain used to be the property of the Cheng family, and even the Taoist temple on the mountain was built with the money of the Cheng family ancestors. In the past, there were few Taoists, but it was slowly expanded to the current scale.

The Taoist temple does not charge tickets, and the pilgrims who come and go are basically locals from Jiangcheng.On the Double Ninth Festival, climb high and look far away, burn three sticks of incense in Taoist temples, and pay homage to Sanqing!The Taoist temple is solemn and quiet, and it is natural to calm down here.

Mr. Shen liked this place very much. He went up the steps to look around. Grandma Cheng's wheelchair was stored in the cable car, and her body would be fine for short distances.

Before entering the main hall, everyone arranges their clothes to show respect. There are many pilgrims today, and the Taoist temple arranged for several young Taoist priests to come out to maintain order and guide the pilgrims.

Old Man Shen and Shen Nian are different from ordinary people in saluting and offering incense. They follow normal Taoist etiquette. Seeing that Old Man Shen is wearing Taoist robes, the little Taoist guesses that he should be a cultivator. Send them out of the palace again!

At this time, an old Taoist priest came out of the side hall and walked this way. The little Taoist priest who was walking in front of Cheng Qinglan and the others stopped to salute him, and respectfully called "Uncle Qin"

The old Taoist has long hair and a beard all white, and he is wearing a Taoist dress, solemn and serious!

"Grandpa Taoist!"

Cheng Qinglan recognized that Uncle Qin mentioned by the Taoist priest was her grandfather's friend, and she never expected to meet him. Ever since she met Shen Nian, Cheng Qinglan felt kind to Taoism-related things, not to mention that the old Taoist priest in front of her was also a friend of her grandfather.She remembered that Daoist Grandpa had hugged her when she was a child.

Daoist Qin was taken aback for a moment, then stopped and looked at the people in front of him.

Cheng Qinglan helped her grandma to walk behind, but at this moment, she passed several people and walked in front of the old Taoist priest, and called out "Grandpa Taoist priest" respectfully.

Cheng Qinglan's appearance changed a lot, Daoist Qin didn't recognize her for a while, but he knew her grandma, combined with Cheng Qinglan calling him, Daoist Qin remembered who she was!I thought to myself that this child has changed a lot. It is true that time does not destroy one's old age, and the younger generation will also destroy you. Brother Dao Kang's granddaughter has grown up so much.

Daoist Qin took a step forward, bowed to Grandma Cheng first, then looked at Cheng Qinglan with a smile and said, "You are Qinglan, right! You have changed so much that Grandpa Daoist almost didn't dare to recognize him." His smile was amiable, and he changed from his previous seriousness , Surprising the little Taoist priest standing next to him, Uncle Qin can still smile so kindly.But he didn't dare to stay any longer, he saluted and turned to leave.

Cheng Qinglan chatted with Daoist Qin casually, thinking that he hadn't been introduced to Grandpa Shen yet, turned around and found that old man Shen was staring at Daoist Qin blankly, with a strange expression on his face, could it be that they knew each other? !

Daoist Qin also followed Cheng Qinglan's line of sight at this time, and when he saw Mr. Shen in a Taoist robe, he suppressed his smile. He hadn't seen him in decades. It might be difficult to recognize the change, but he still remembered the Taoist robe of the Shen family. It is impossible to admit my mistake, thinking that the world is really small, and I can still see old people in my lifetime.

"Qin San?" Old Master Shen stepped forward and asked uncertainly

"Hehe, there is no such thing as Qin San in this world. I have been a monk for decades, and I have forgotten all the mundane things." Daoist Qin stroked his beard and said in a flat tone

Mr. Shen looked at him, and didn't know what to say for a moment. He and Qin San grew up together. Qin San was a nickname among friends.Later, because they fell in love with the same woman, they had an awkward quarrel. Mr. Shen thought he was upright. Back then, he chased his wife with his own ability. Qin San's family was a big landlord, and Qin San's family didn't have a good reputation in Shencheng. Look down on the Qin family.

Mr. Shen knew that Qin San and his friends scolded him privately for wearing Taoist robes all day long to lure across the city and robbed his beloved. Mr. Shen never cared about him, and he lost contact with him afterwards.It didn't take long before there was turmoil, the Qin family fell, people died overnight, scattered, no one saw Qin San again, Mr. Shen went around asking about his whereabouts, some said he had gone abroad, others said he had become a monk because of his disillusionment.

Mr. Shen never thought that he would be a Taoist priest, and he was in this small Taoist temple in Jiangcheng. It seems that Brother Daokang rescued Qin San back then.

Half a world has passed, they are all people who are about to enter the earth, how can they still remember those little grievances when they were young.I can still see each other once in my lifetime, and I am full of emotions.

Everyone present could see that Mr. Shen and Daoist Qin should be old acquaintances, knowing that they might have something to say, Cheng Qinglan took grandma and they left first, leaving Mr. Shen alone to talk to the old Taoist.

Grandma Cheng knew something about Daoist Qin's past. They were all from Shencheng. She was not surprised that Mr. Shen knew Daoist Qin at all.When Grandpa Cheng secretly brought Qin Daochang back from Shencheng, Qin Daochang was disheartened and wanted to die.Grandpa Cheng knew the abbot of the Taoist temple on the mountain, so he wanted to send him up the mountain to wait for a while, maybe the Taoist master would be able to untie him, but he didn't expect that he would become a Taoist monk later, Grandpa Cheng saw that he was sincerely devoted to Taoism, so he didn't stop him. It is also a chance that he can really practice Taoism seriously, and it is better to live than to die.

The scenery on the mountain is good. This season, the leaves are red and criss-crossed. Looking south, you can see the sparkling water of the South Lake. To the north, there are farmlands and villages. Here you can faintly see Cheng Qinglan’s big yard.

Cheng Qinglan and Shen Nian accompanied the elders to look at the scenery, sat and rested in the gazebo, and waited for Mr. Shen to come back.

More than half an hour later, Mr. Shen and Daoist Qin came together. Their expressions were more natural than before, and they were talking while walking. Daoist Qin offered to send them there when he heard that they were going to the back mountain.

The rules in the Taoist temple are very strict. All Taoists are not allowed to go to the back mountain without permission, and the villagers of Nanhu Town will not go to Guling Mountain from the back mountain. These years, there has been a clear distinction.

Daoist Qin has been in the Taoist temple for nearly 50 years, and he knows these rules the most. What's more, he and Grandpa Cheng Qinglan are friends. For 10 years, Taoist Qin has been living in a cave in Houshan.

The back mountain was closed all the year round, overgrown with weeds, and it was not easy to walk. Grandma Cheng and Grandma Shen Nian, accompanied by Jiang Yutang, took the cable car down the mountain to go home.Cheng Qinglan and Shen Nian followed the two old men to the back mountain.

Although the back mountain is on the back side of the sun, the vegetation and trees are very lush. It may be that no one has come here for many years, so let them grow freely.Pulling out the vines, you can still find the traces that were chiseled before, so it is convenient to settle down. Daoist Qin is very familiar with this area. He opened the way ahead. The old Daoist is also a man who is almost 70. He has practiced Taoism for many years, and his legs and feet are very flexible. .

This is Cheng Qinglan's first visit to Houshan, and she is very curious about it. She has only heard stories about Houshan from her grandfather, and the notes left by her grandfather. Back then, grandpa transported grain up the mountain and hid the neighbors in the village here. Escaped the flames of war, and secretly transported books from the back mountain to the Taoist temple during the turbulent period.

Out of professional instinct, Mr. Shen left the path and grabbed the tree pole to look at the surrounding vegetation. This mountain forest is shaded, which is very suitable for the environment where herbs are produced.

Shen Nian soon discovered the specialness of this back mountain. She chose the opposite direction from her grandfather, and carefully rummaged through it with a branch in her hand. Cheng Qinglan grabbed her hand and followed Shen Nian. It will really let her discover a medicinal herb, and it is a very precious wild ginseng, hidden under a big tree, it is difficult to find if you don't pay attention.According to Shen Nian's judgment based on the shape of its leaves and stems, it can last for at least a few decades, which is really rare.

Now almost all the ginsengs on the market are artificially planted, and the wild ginseng that the Shen family can buy every year is getting less and less. Who would have thought that there is such a treasure hidden on this humble hill, probably because this mountain forest is protected. Well, less human disturbance.

Shen Nian called Grandpa and asked him to come over to confirm. Grandpa Shen was very happy to see it. It was a windfall, which also confirmed his previous conjecture.This ginseng knot has a lot of seeds, it is not suitable for harvesting right now, Shen Nian marked on the big tree next to it, let it grow freely.

Only then did Daoist Qin realize that they were looking for herbs. He was familiar with this mountain forest, but he didn't know herbs, so he couldn't help much. After a while, he left and went back to the Taoist temple. Leave it to them.

After Daoist Qin left, Cheng Qinglan curiously asked Mr. Shen, how did he and Grandpa Daoist know each other?Only then did Mr. Shen tell the story of their past, of course he didn't mention the conflict over chasing his girlfriend back then.

After discovering ginseng, Mr. Shen was even more confident. Ginseng is extremely harsh on the environment. If ginseng can grow here, there must be other herbs. The old man took them to the depths of the mountain forest to find many herbs. The old man is grateful for this mountain forest It belongs to Cheng's family, otherwise if someone finds out that there are herbs, it is likely to attract people to dig them immediately, destroying the growing environment here.

Chinese medicinal materials are too scarce now, and these wild herbal seeds are also very precious. In the future, artificial intervention can be considered to help these wild medicinal materials reproduce, and they are stronger than those artificially cultivated.

They stopped and walked in the mountains until the afternoon. The old man loves medicinal materials and regards medicinal materials as life. Cheng Qinglan persuaded, "Grandpa, we can come here often in the future. It's very close from the small road. If you don't go back home, you should worry."

Only then did Mr. Shen reluctantly go down the mountain.

There is no mobile phone signal in the mountains, and Jiang Yutang and the others should really hurry to find him if they don't go back.

The next day, Mr. Shen didn't go to the medical clinic. He brought tools and led Shen Nian and Cheng Qinglan to the back mountain to collect herbs. He collected the seeds of the medicinal materials. He could bring the seeds back to the forest to sow next year. The quality is guaranteed. The environment of this large mountain forest has not been destroyed. There is a Taoist temple guarding the front, and the back mountain is owned by the Cheng family, so outsiders cannot enter.

Cheng Qinglan had never taken medicine before, so she found it very novel. After returning home yesterday, she checked a lot of information on the Internet, just to learn more knowledge, hoping to help Shen Nian.

Shen Nian held her hand and told her to watch her feet carefully. Although her pulse still couldn't feel any change, Shen Nian always treated her as if she had a baby in her stomach, and took care of her wherever she went.

Shen Nian felt that he shouldn't have agreed to bring her to the mountain just now, the back mountain is damp and cold, it's not suitable for her to come here at all.However, Shen Nian also knew that she would not listen to her. Now the two families have five elders who dote on Cheng Qinglan, and she can't afford to offend any elder. Shen Nian sometimes feels a headache when she thinks about it. After giving birth to a baby, I don't know what will happen How to be pampered.

Cheng Qinglan didn't know what was going on in Shen Nian's mind, and followed her with a basket, humming "The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain" in a low voice

The sun winks at me, the birds sing to me

I'm a hard-working, clingy goblin. . .

Listening to her humming, Shen Nian couldn't help but look at her, thinking, she is a clingy little fairy, obviously she is a clingy little fairy, hey!Shen Nian tightened his palms and led her to continue walking forward, what can he do if he is clingy.Who made myself like her!

The little sticky person is talented, good-looking, rich, and has mountains. Look at this mountain, which contains many priceless and precious medicinal materials. She is really my little lucky star!Take me to patrol the mountains and find so many treasures!

Cheng Qinglan bent down and picked up a red leaf. The shape was pretty, and she could take it back and make a bookmark.I feel better, and I am still singing:

The king called me to patrol the mountain

I turn the world around

. . .

Don't envy mandarin ducks, don't envy immortals

The young girl's voice was sweet and cheerful, and her cheerful singing echoed in this quiet mountain forest. Mr. Shen heard a faint singing voice in the depths of the forest, and shook his head in a happy mood. It's good to be young!Teenagers don't know how to worry!The old man likes this little girl more and more. With her around, the family is happy every day.

72. Cubs

Cheng Qinglan doesn't know what's going on with her recently, she has become very tender, even she can feel the obvious change, but she can't control her emotions.It became inexplicable, it was quite normal at school in the daytime, but the mood was very different when I came back at night, I couldn't help but want to cling to Shen Nian, Shen Nian was a little neglected, I felt wronged and wanted to lose my temper with her, and I always wanted to act like a baby to Shen Nian , she didn't dare to cry in front of Shen Nian, for fear that Shen Nian would think that she was arrogant because of her favor and would get bored with her.

Cheng Qinglan checked online, netizens said it might be depression, Cheng Qinglan couldn't believe it, she was living a good life, how did she get depression, became more anxious, worried what to do if it was really depression!The previous experience of seeing a psychiatrist because of autism was not good. She didn't want to go through it again. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she felt, and she even ate less.
