There is a mountain village in Dugu. Between the mountains, a stream flows gracefully down.
In the field, the farmer led the old cow and was plowing the field. The green bamboos in the mountains are lush and green, and the green bamboos set off the mountain village houses with red tiles and white walls.
From a distance, you can see corn and dried chili peppers crowding the beams on the houses. A century-old locust tree stands in the center of the village, and a group of old people are chatting under the old tree, fanning themselves with cattail fans.
Old trees stand tall, with withered dark brown leaves, guarding the old red brick houses.
Its hard branches stretch towards the clouds, with the desire to explore the sky, and the chattering old people on the side look so insignificant. Under the ancient tree, a group of young girls are playing Cuju happily, and their laughter is as clear as silver bells. This scene is like a painting...
There was a very conspicuous young man with dark skin and clear eyes. He was holding a bamboo basket full of medicinal herbs. He sat alone and quietly watched the group of girls playing Cuju. He secretly wanted to join in. The young man felt a little shy.
Among those young girls, there was a girl who played very well. The girl was not very tall, had pretty features, and had two braids on her chest. The girl accidentally kicked the Cuju ball in front of the boy. The girl crossed her arms. Waist, shouted:
"Li Zheng, help me kick here."
The young man smiled and said:
"Okay."
The young man named Li Zheng kicked Cuju towards the girl, and only heard
"Peng~" a sound...
Cuju kicked the girl in the face. The girls were shocked by this kick.
Li Zheng was stunned when he saw this scene. He scratched his head and apologized quickly:
"I'm sorry, Gao Wa, I used too much force."
The braided girl named Gao Wa clenched her fists, ran towards Li Zheng angrily, and cursed:
"You are looking for death!"
When Li Zheng saw this, he ran away, but he still couldn't outrun Gao Wa. Gao Wa immediately knocked Li Zheng down and scratched Li Zheng's face.
The old man who was resting next to him quickly started a fight when he saw this scene.
Gao Wa stopped to lecture Li Zheng and clapped her hands.
The old people scolded Gao Wa.
"Apologise."
"My dear mother! Why is the little girl like this at such a young age?"
...........
Gao Wa dismissed it and walked away from the crowd towards the bamboo forest in the mountains.
When Li Zheng saw Gao Wa's retreating figure, he apologized and shouted:
"sorry!"
An old woman came up to Li Zheng, touched Li Zheng's scratched face, and said:
"The girl is so cruel, she doesn't have any pretense at all."
Li Zheng smiled and said:
"Grandma Wei, it's okay. It was my fault first."
Grandma Wei said:
"Good girl, I will definitely let Gao Wa's father teach her a lesson."
Li Zheng picked up the bamboo basket, waved goodbye with a smile on his face, and said:
"No, Grandma Wei, I'm going back first."
Grandma Wei waved goodbye with a kind face. When Li Zheng's figure slowly disappeared from her sight, the old woman slowly shook her head and murmured:
"Poor baby."
...........
Li Zheng stepped into the gate of his courtyard, and an old dog in the courtyard galloped towards him, wagging its tail.
Li Zheng hurriedly stepped into the door and saw an old man lying on the bed. The old man had a haggard face and frowned. This old man was Li Zheng's grandfather, Du Xiao.
There was a middle-aged man in front of the bed taking the old man's pulse.
When the old man saw Li Zheng, he said hoarsely:
"You're back, what's wrong with your face?"
Li Zheng put down the bamboo basket, quickly ran to the old man's bed and squatted down, holding the old man's cold right hand tightly, Li Zheng's eyes were red and he said:
"Grandpa, it's okay. You were scratched by the cat. Are you feeling better?"
The old man looked at Li Zheng kindly with a smile on his face, and said hoarsely:
"Human beings are mortal."
The old man touched Li Zheng's face with trembling and dry hands, smiling...
Li Zheng's eyes were red and he said:
"Grandpa, you will definitely get better, don't talk nonsense."
Du Xiao said hoarsely:
"Life and death, death and life. Come naked and go empty. Life lasts only a few decades, but after death everyone walks with you."
Li Zheng wiped his eyes and said:
"I will definitely cure grandpa's disease."
Du Xiao's eyes were red and he said hoarsely:
"Xiao Zheng, grandpa is very satisfied with having such a filial grandson like you. Just let me sleep and reunite with your grandma."
Li Zheng's eyes turned red and he cried:
"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense."
Li Zheng's eyes were red, and he just sat blankly in front of the bed, in a daze...
In the bamboo forest, Gao Wa walked slowly to a bamboo forest on the mountain, sat on a rock, and actually buried her head in tears. Maybe this girl who was strong on the outside was still quite fragile on the inside.
Gao Wa wiped her eyes, looked at Li Zheng's house in the village, and murmured to herself:
"I did go a little too far, and it's time to apologize."
Gao Wa sneaked to Li Zheng's house. He lay in front of the window and just looked at the scene in the house quietly. When he saw Li Zheng, who was in a daze, and the old man lying on the bed, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. .
In that room, the middle-aged man patted Li Zheng, who was in a daze. Li Zheng was excited and turned to look at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man had a stubble on his face and was wearing gray clothes and coarse cloth.
He is a doctor in the village. His surname is Wang and his given name is Ci. People in the village usually call him Wang Langzhong.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and Li Zheng stood up and followed the man to lean against the window.
Li Zheng asked,
"Mr. Wang, how is my grandfather's health?"
Wang Ci slowly shook his head and replied:
"The pulse is disordered. I have been practicing medicine for more than 20 years. This is the first time I have seen this strange disease."
Li Zheng put his hands on Wang Ci's shoulders and asked:
"Is there any way to cure this strange disease?"
Wang Ci sighed and replied:
"Have no idea."
Li Zheng was a little excited and shouted:
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
Wang Ci was startled, and even Gao Wa, who was peeping outside the window, was also startled.
Wang Ci replied:
"There is a way, but it's not very realistic."
Li Zheng said:
"Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we have to try it. What is the solution?"
Wang Ci spoke eloquently......
It is said that there is a place called "Zhenhong Mountain" in Dugu. It is said that that mountain is quite mysterious. Why is it called Zhenhong Mountain?
It was not originally called Zhenhong Mountain, but was originally called "Huixiang Mountain". There was a strange medicinal herb called "Huixiangshan" growing in the mountain. Huixiangbao could cure all kinds of diseases. At that time, all the doctors would go there to pick Huixiang. Over time, They all called this mountain back to Xiangshan.
Ten years ago, in Dugu, a gang with a strong foundation took root here. The gang was called "Qinghong Gang". The entire Qinghong Gang was famous for its stick skills.
After the death of the old gang leader, he entrusted the entire gang to his two sons. The eldest son was named Hou Qingyun, and the second son was named Hou Qinghong. The brothers surnamed Hou were very famous in the world at that time, but the brothers surnamed Hou were not related. So good, in just a few years Hou Qinghong mysteriously disappeared from the world, and Hou Qingyun became the leader of the entire Qinghong Gang.
There are constant rumors in the world. Some say that Hou Qinghong secluded himself in the world and voluntarily gave way to his elder brother Hou Qingyun. There are constant speculations in the world. Why did it change its name to Zhenhong Mountain? It is speculated that the brothers will turn against each other, and something unexpected happened to Hou Qingyun? etc.. ...
The Qinghong Gang was so arrogant and unreasonable that they owned the land hundreds of miles around the gang. Since Huixiang Mountain was also within the scope, outsiders were not allowed to come here to pick herbs. This caused dissatisfaction among the surrounding people. The Qinghong Gang He is very domineering and unreasonable, and has long made the people around him extremely disgusted...
Li Zheng listened patiently, clenched his fists, and cursed:
"I've been living so long and I didn't even know this happened. This gang is really domineering."
Wang Ci said:
"There is only a glimmer of hope if we return to Vanilla."
Li Zheng asked in confusion:
"What exactly is Vanilla like this time? I don't even know what the characteristics of Vanilla this time are. How can I find it?"
Wang Ci said:
"It has an aroma like osmanthus. When you eat it, your body will feel hot and cold. After a while, you will feel comfortable."
Outside the window, Gao Wa murmured after listening to the conversation between them:
"I will definitely help you."
After saying that, Gao Wa left Li Zheng's courtyard gate and walked towards the bamboo forest in the mountains...
The sun sets in the west, and a red sun slowly sets in the horizon...
Gao Wa was strolling in the bamboo forest in the mountains. He spent the afternoon wandering in the bamboo forest and then walked towards his house...
When Gaowa returned to the gate of her courtyard, her father was full of anger and leaned against the gate with a stick, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Her father blurted out angrily:
"Do you still know about coming back? Aunt Wei said, what happened to Li Zheng?"
Gao Wa lowered her head, tears were about to fall, and she replied:
"It's my fault, please ask father to punish me."
My father dropped the stick, shook his head, and said:
"It's very good to admit your mistakes. Li Zheng has no parents since he was a child. His grandparents have pushed him. Let him be a little more relaxed in the future."
Gaowa said:
"I know, Father."
Her father sighed and said:
"I'll take you to his house later to apologize."
Gaowa said:
"I'll go apologize myself."
Her father patted her shoulder and said:
"Apologise properly."
...........
The next day, the sky just broke, and in the morning light, the green bamboo poles shone with pure luster, and the green halo surrounded the entire bamboo forest...
Gao Wa walked towards the bamboo forest in the mountains with a basket on her back. She wanted to help Li Zheng pick the sweet herbs in Zhenhong Mountain...
She stumbled along the way, like a headless fly. She didn't know what the grass was like that time or where the Zhenhong Mountain was. Whenever she saw some strange grass, she would taste it herself. Shen Nong tasted it. It was like a hundred grasses, and there were a lot of jokes on the road.
Some had diarrhea, some felt weak, and some even rolled their eyes and fell into coma. She had suffered too much to find this herb, but he still didn't give up and still wanted to help him...
In the bamboo forest, Gao Wa was humming a little tune and jumping around while walking...
Gao Wa hummed a ditty:
“If you say you’re going to do it, you’re going to do it.”
“Don’t tell if you don’t do it”
"Commitment is heavier than Mount Tai"
...........
Gao Wa stopped humming, looked at the towering bamboos, and murmured to herself:
"As long as I have the ability to help you, I have no right to stand by and watch."
[The first few chapters are not very coherent and may be boring for you to read. Starting from this chapter, I will write a short story in several consecutive chapters.
Wen Kui hasn't finished relieving himself yet, he must have diarrhea again. Wei Jianchao and Xu Shanchao are drinking wine comfortably, and Zhu Shun is practicing sword skills.
What kind of gang is the Qinghong Gang? So who is pressing down under Zhenhong Mountain? Will Gaowa find Vanilla back?
