Lu Fengbai followed the old woman's gaze and saw a thatched cottage that had been abandoned for a long time.
The courtyard walls on both sides of the house are almost in dilapidation. It won't take long for the entire shed to collapse, and the original appearance will never be seen again.
The old woman spoke: "That house is where that person lives temporarily..."
The man that Granny Xia talked about?
Lu Feng said in vain: "What my mother-in-law means is that there may be something in it that can be helpful to me?"
The old woman shook her head and said: "Everything in this valley will eventually return to dust. The things that the man did not take away must have deep meaning..."
She could no longer remember what happened many years ago.
I vaguely remember that the man stayed in the valley for half a month. In his words, he was just resting.
They were suffering from the cold poison, but they could see clearly that the man stayed in the valley to ensure that the effect of the grass blades could suppress the cold in the valley.
When leaving, I only left instructions and warnings.
"If someone comes to this place again and his character is not bad, you can leave the contents of the house in his hands."
"If you still don't want to have any contact with the outside world in the future, don't tell outsiders about the cold spring in the valley!"
Lu Fengbai first took a step back, bowed respectfully to the dilapidated thatched cottage, and then turned to look at Granny Xia.
"The predecessors warned the mother-in-law that she still needs to remember that the things in the house have been passed down and thought about, so I will step forward to accept them."
The old woman nodded and then gave way to the way forward.
The man in white robe took a step forward and walked straight to the thatched cottage.
Jiang Qingze and Ci'an in the distance also noticed the changes near the spring, and the latter just wanted to ask.
Jiang Qing took the lead and shook his head, then pulled him further away.
When Lu Fengbai walked to the thatched cottage, he stretched out his hand to push open the door, and soon a faint medicinal fragrance filled the air from the gap.
The aroma of the medicine had just drifted into his nose. Lu Fengbai, who noticed something strange, immediately held his breath and began to calm down.
It's the smell of Yanchi grass leaves...and it's more intense than the ones grown in the mountains, and even the medicinal effect it brings is several times stronger.
If it weren't for Lu Fengbai's guess, and if he had drank the "cold marrow" spring water before, it would probably be no different from chewing grass directly.
After covering his mouth and nose, he walked into the thatched house. There were not many things in it. After taking in everything, the most eye-catching thing was the bamboo slips on a stone pier.
Lu Fengbai did not pick up the bamboo slip directly, but looked intently at the content written on it.
"Being able to see this thing can be regarded as fate. Regardless of whether it is good or evil, good or bad, since you want to know the root of it, listen to me in detail."
"The effects of the Flame Pool are too overbearing when used on the human body. It is a powerful medicine to calm troubled times."
"The effect of cold marrow cannot be resisted by people who live in daily life, but for those who take it for a short period of time and use it sparingly, it can relieve the pain of burning the heart and bones."
"The visitors must have guessed some of the 'results'. After half a month, with the help of the 'Fire Pool Cold Marrow' planted in the cold spring here, there will no longer be the danger of a white bottle, and the villagers here will no longer have to suffer The pain of cold poison.”
"If the visitor is unwilling to accept everything in today's scorching sun, in addition to the method of planting under the stone pier, there are also eleven volumes of military strategy written by me. It can cause troubled times again, and change the dynasty. It is all in your own mind."
When Lu Fengbai saw the end of the scroll, his heart was not shaken at all, nor did he have any intention of opening the stone pier. He turned around and walked out.
Grandma Xia, who was standing not far away, watched the man in white robe walk out of the thatched hut, but her hands were empty.
She was a little confused at first, but she didn't think much and walked forward with her cane.
The old woman asked: "I don't know what's going on in the house, but it can be useful to the young master..."
Lu Feng said in vain: "Thank you very much, mother-in-law, and also thank my predecessors for their advice."
Granny Xia held her crutches and breathed a long sigh of relief, and responded: "That's good. Fortunately, it was not abandoned..."
Lu Fengbai looked at Jiang Qingze and Ci'an in the distance, and he continued: "When Miss Ci'an comes here later, I will explain the invitation to her, and please reassure my mother-in-law."
The old woman also looked over and responded: "From now on, I will entrust Liuliu to the young master..."
Thinking about the bamboo slips he saw in the house earlier, Lu Fengbai asked for no reason.
"From the previous conversation to now, my mother-in-law seems to have never mentioned it. Why can I safely leave Miss Ci'an to my care?"
The old woman explained: "As I get older, I like to look at faces, and I feel that the young master does not look like a villain..."
Lu Feng said in vain: "Is it the spiritual energy mentioned earlier? But my mother-in-law should also know that this is not what this junior is asking about."
Granny Xia's face turned cold and she turned slightly, as if to avoid the eyes of the two women in the distance.
"The information here is not closed. I know about the battle on the Shannan River. According to Liuliu's previous words, I know your origins...and your identity. I am an old woman who has lived longer, so I naturally know it too!"
Lu Fengbai said loudly: "I have learned a lesson!"
In the eyes of outsiders, the reputation of the owner of Yijian Villa cannot be surpassed by the grandson of Yanyang Military God, Lu Xu.
The same is true when it comes to southern Xinjiang.
The old woman looked sideways at the man in white robe and tapped the bamboo stick in her hand twice.
"I recognize Mr. Lu's character, so I am willing to entrust Liuliu to you. I hope Mr. Lu will not disappoint my wife..."
Lu Fengbai nodded without answering.
Ci'an watched in the distance for a long time, and saw Granny Xia tapping the bamboo stick in her hand. She was afraid that something would happen, so she immediately ran over.
Jiang Qing, who was behind him, saw this and had no other way to dissuade him, so he had to follow him.
Ci'an asked aloud: "Grandma Xia, this person bullied you, wait until I beat him to vent my anger on my mother-in-law!"
The old woman smiled and said: "I had a very pleasant conversation with the young master just now, nothing happened..."
Lu Fengbai answered and said, "My mother-in-law talked about some old things, so she inevitably sighed!"
Ci'an supported the old woman's body and stared at the man in white robe.
"really?"
Without waiting for Lu Fengbai to explain, Granny Xia raised her hand and patted the back of Ci An's hand.
"Liu Liu has grown up. Don't you even believe what your mother-in-law says anymore?"
Ci'an hurriedly whispered: "No...there are outsiders here, but we can't let them think that we are easy to bully!"
The old woman was coaxed into laughing, and a rare joy appeared on her face.
"Now that I've wandered outside a lot, I've learned to make my mother-in-law happy!"
The woman's cheeks turned slightly red upon hearing this, and she immediately leaned her head on the old woman's shoulder.
"How can there be..."
When this situation appeared in front of Lu Fengbai, he couldn't directly talk about the invitation, so he and Jiang Qingze stood respectfully to one side and waited.
After a long time, Cian'an noticed some clues as he looked at the two people who had still not left.
She first glanced at the white robe, and then gave Jiang Qingze a questioning look, but the two of them just nodded politely.
Ci'an had no choice but to look at Granny Xia again, and found that the old woman beside him had been looking at him for a long time.
"Are Granny Xia going to drive Liuliu away?"
"This is not the place you should stay... We old ladies will all be gone in a few years..."
"Then Liuliu will also accompany the mothers-in-law and stay with you until the end!"
"There's no reason to keep a girl like you until the end. It's time to go out for a walk..."
"Liuliu is gone, what should I do about collecting herbs, what should I do when buying clothes in winter, and..."
"Before you came, couldn't I, an old man like me, have survived?"
The old woman raised her hand and held Cian'an's arm, trying to make it as strong as possible. However, as she got older, the strength in her hand was not as strong as before.
But even so, the old woman still forced a smile on her face.
"Isn't my mother-in-law's hand strength the same as when she carried you back?"
"That girl over there, is she as tough as the old lady in the Miao Village who is my age?"
The old woman's two questions were directed to the two women present.
Ci'an whimpered: "Same...same..."
When Jiang Qing saw this, he could only say: "No one in the Miao village can compare with my mother-in-law."
Lu Fengbai spoke up and said: "Miss Ci'an, you must understand Granny Xia's wishes. We should help each other with the wishes of the elders..."
When Ci'an nodded, he still held Granny Xia's wrist, and the old woman patted the back of her hand again and again.
"Liu Liu, be obedient. If you don't, my mother-in-law will be angry!"
Ci'an murmured: "Then...if I have a chance, I will come back to see my mother-in-law..."
The old woman said earnestly: "Then the mother-in-law is waiting for Liuliu to come back. She is waiting for Liuliu to go and see all the scenery outside, and then come back and talk to the mother-in-law."
Ci'an nodded desperately and then let go of Granny Xia's arm.
The old woman turned to look at Lu Fengbai: "From now on, Liuliu will be left to the Young Master!"
Lu Fengbai bowed to her and said, "Yijian Villa will protect Miss Ci'an!"
"Let's go, let's go! It's getting late. If it gets late, it will be difficult to walk on the mountain road!"
Faced with Granny Xia's "expulsion order", Lu Fengbai had no choice but to take Ci An with him to exit the valley and no longer stay here.
On the way back to Wanhe Mountain, although Ci'an no longer showed any sad expression, judging from his face, he was still reluctant to leave his "hometown" and his elders.
Jiang Qingze tried to persuade him several times, but Ci'an only responded with a word of thanks, and then fell into silence again.
When the setting sun on the horizon hid behind Wanhe Mountain, the valley on the other side of the river was no longer illuminated by the sun, and the entire valley fell into a dead silence.
Among the old women who live among them all year round, some sit in front of their houses in a daze, some are still farming in the dark with farm tools, and some are squatting next to the stream and "sleeping soundly".
In the past years, even if there was no light, there would always be a lively and cheerful voice wandering in the valley.
They will also cater to this hilarious figure and talk about some old gossip, so that the little sun in their hearts will not appear lonely.
From today on, they, the little sun, no longer have to hide in the valley.
She will eventually go out to see the world outside the mountains and move towards a broader place.
Suddenly, the sound of a house collapsing woke up all the old ladies in the valley.
boom!
They all looked in search of the sound, but were soon called back to their senses by a voice that sounded like they had just woken up.
"It should have collapsed a long time ago! What's all the fuss about..."
After hearing the reminder, everyone returned to their original position, no longer looking at the thatched cottage next to the spring.
The collapsed courtyard wall crushed the stone pier on which the bamboo slips were placed.
The hidden grid under the stone pier was revealed.
But there is no method of planting "Fire Pond Cold Marrow" in it, let alone eleven volumes of military strategies.
There is only one bamboo slip that has long been dilapidated, with a few words vaguely written on it...
Good and bad herbs can still be distinguished, but good and evil in people's hearts cannot be discerned.
Are you trying to disrupt our Yanyang Kingdom? Don't even think about it!
