Lao Zhou went to clean up the rabbits as usual, Zheng Xiongqi, Mu Qianxun, and my second grandfather and I all sat around the stone table by the pond behind.

After chatting for a while, the second grandfather remembered something and turned back to the front.

After a while, I saw him holding two jars in his arms and walking back.

Putting the jar on the stone table, the second grandfather said to us: "This is the wine I have treasured for many years, today is a good day, let's celebrate it." ”

As he spoke, he gently smashed open the sealing mud on the top of the wine jar, and suddenly the aroma of wine overflowed, filling the entire space.

Zheng Xiongqi couldn't help but praise: "It's so fragrant." ”

Mu Qianxun and I glanced at each other, and I also felt that this wine was mellow and extraordinary.

The second grandfather took out five pottery cups from a square hole in the stone wall and poured a full cup for each of us.

Zheng Xiongqi picked up the wine glass, couldn't wait to taste it, and couldn't help but let out a long hum, as if it was very useful.

I raised my hand to look at the faint purple gas emanating from the pottery cup, and immediately understood that this wine was very likely to be brewed from the water in the Qianlong Yuan and the medicinal herbs nourished by the Qianlong Yuan.

After drinking wine and eating meat, I only felt that the blood was surging all over my body, and every pore was moisturized by the aura.

Seeing that it was still early, I said to my second grandfather, "Second grandfather, why don't we go down the mountain." ”

The second grandfather nodded and said, "It's better to be sooner rather than later, let's leave now." ”

"Okay," I stood up and followed the second grandfather to the antechamber.

We went down the rattan ladder one by one, and the second grandfather was the last one.

I was afraid that he would not come down and go back with us.

But I was greatly relieved to see him tie up a burden, carry it on his back, and come down with him.

A group of five of us, under the leadership of the second grandfather, walked in the direction of the sinkhole behind the mountain.

Through a large area of dense primeval forest, we finally reached the edge of the sinkhole before dark.

In the open space at the edge of the sinkhole, I set up a tent and rested for the night.

At night, Zheng Xiongqi and I were huddled in a tent, and my second grandfather slept in my tent.

Along the way, the second grandfather was quite kind to Mu Qianxun.

I originally thought that the second grandfather knew Mu Qianxun's surname, and he would be more or less resistant to Mu Qianxun.

What I didn't expect was that the two of them talked more along the way.

Mu Qianxun is very willing to share with us what happened when he was a child and some of his family's situation.

From her sporadic accounts, we learned that the last three generations of the Mu family are all natives born and raised in Tianxin City.

And they can be called a family of lawyers, grandpa and dad are in their time, and they are well-known barristers.

The Mu family is in the same lineage, although the heirs are not very prosperous, but there are also several direct blood relatives. There are some high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen among them.

When night falls, we once again witness a light that is even more magical than the aurora.

The light was very faint, reaching into the sky, faintly piercing the sky.

Looking at the rays of light, I couldn't sleep for a long time, and my heart kept haunting the appearance of that pillar.

Whether or not the light came from the pillar or not, I don't know.

But the five shallow pits on that pillar kept reminding me that I could get five pieces of jade.

Curiosity seemed to be a deep whirlpool that swirled around my heart until it was almost dawn when I fell asleep again.

The first rays of light in the morning woke me up, and we packed up our breakfast and left the camp.

By the time we finally returned to the place where we had camped for the first time, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

When we got to the stream, we stopped, put down our luggage, and sat down by the clear stream to rest.

Half an hour later, we were ready to set out on the trip again.

At this time, the second grandfather suddenly stood up and did not walk with us.

I stepped out and realized that something was wrong.

Turning to look at the second grandfather behind him, he beckoned to me.

I ran back and asked, "Second grandfather, why don't you leave, you can go out of the mountain soon." ”

The second grandfather smiled and shook his head, tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "I'm old, it's useless, and when this mountain wind blows, I want to shed tears." ”

As he spoke, he took off the burden from his hand and handed it to me.

I realized something, grabbed the second grandfather's hand, and asked urgently: "Second grandfather, what are you doing, you must go out of the mountain with me today, I am like your own grandson, I must ......"

Before I could finish speaking, the second grandfather waved his hand to interrupt my words and said in a deep voice: "Feng'er, I know that you are very filial, but the second grandfather is nearly eighty years old, how many days do you have to live? This encounter, in you, I saw the dawn of our Di family's prosperity, and it is already my Di Xiangtian's great luck. God treats me well, let me be with my relatives in my lifetime, what more can I ask for. ”

"No, second grandfather, I must take you out, Xiao Dihong hasn't seen you yet, and we have to give you a pension and send you to the end." I knelt down in front of my second grandfather with a thud, crying silently.

The second grandfather stroked the top of my head, put the burden on my shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I swore to your grandfather and the ancestors of the Di family that I will never go out of the mountain in this life, not to mention that even if I go out, I will only become a burden to you, Feng'er, you must know that the future is dangerous and unpredictable, and I hide in this ravine alone, which is a way to avoid evil." Don't push me anymore. In this baggage, there are the twelve night pearls and more than a dozen ginseng kings that I have carefully cultivated before, enough for you to spend, if you still need more money at that time, come to your second grandfather, my yard, there are many strange flowers and plants, each of which can be sold at a high price. ”

I nodded again and again, but I didn't know what to say, and a thousand words turned into a trickle of tears.

The second grandfather firmly stroked my hand, closed his eyes and said resolutely: "Feng'er, among the Five Classics, only the Shanze Sutra of the Water genus is dedicated to the Blood Tribulation Sutra of our Di family's fire genus, so you have to pay special attention to the little girl surnamed Mu." I don't have much else to talk about. Okay, you go, remember what I said. ”

I bent down and hugged my second grandfather's feet, my heart was full of reluctance, but I heard him shouting: "Go, go and do your big business, don't think of me." ”

Raising his hazy teary eyes, I saw the resolute face of the second grandfather, with sharp edges and corners, like a knife.

I just stood up, reluctantly, turned around three times at a time, and walked towards Mu Qianxun and Zheng Xiongqi not far away.

The second grandfather reprimanded loudly behind him: "Don't look back, a manly man, with a deep hatred in the sea of blood, how can he have a long love for children and a short of heroic breath?"

After listening to the words of the second grandfather, a sense of pride arose in my heart, and I finally made up my mind not to look back and complete the common ideals of the second grandfather and me, as well as the deceased ancestors of our Di family.
