Chapter 2 Up the Mountain
Chu Ban was originally going to give the ** shop to Gu Changsheng to sleep on, Jiang Qu said, "Although Doctor Zhong doesn't look like a bad person, his behavior is a little weird. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWho knows if he'll sneak over in the middle of the night to see. He is willing to stay with us thinking you are sick and knowing that we lied to him. I guess I'll be so angry that I'll sweep us out of the house. ”
He persuaded Chu Ban to pretend to be sick, so he simply pretended to be like it from beginning to end. I thought this errand would not be difficult, but tomorrow I went up the mountain to pick snake herbs and left. But listening to Dr. Zhong's words tonight, I don't know if the snake herbs on Taihua Mountain were really picked by the Fang family. If it doesn't go well, maybe you will have to stay for an extra day or two, so you have to plan first.
Gu Changsheng only felt that Chu Ban was the youngest, and he should have slept **. Gu Changsheng found two chairs and put them together, took clothes and put them on the chair, and made do with the chair as a **. "I'll just sleep here."
Jiang Qu looked at the ** shop she invented and created, and said with a smile, "It's better than sleeping on the ground." Intending to follow her example, he moved the table and shrank his hands and feet, and lay down on the table.
Sima Luming held his sword against the wall and closed his eyes to rest. I only heard Qian Ruyue ask, "Then where do I sleep?" ”
Jiang Qu drew a circle on his chest, indicating that there were many free spaces in this room, and she could choose. "You can sleep wherever you like." The implication is to let her take care of herself, there is no half of the maid on Yuxu Mountain, she depends on herself for food, clothing, housing and transportation, she is not living well. Now he is sticking to Sima Luming when he goes down the mountain, pretending to be weak and taking care of him.
To take care of her cousin.
I really heard Qian Ruyue shouting cousin. Sima Luming turned around, preferring to face the wall. Qian Ruyue can only find a place to rest by herself.
Jiang Qu waved his long sleeves and extinguished the candle. The room was suddenly dark, Gu Changsheng picked a good position, facing the window, he could see the bright moon outside the window, and he remembered the look of Ju Xiang looking at her just now.
She also felt that this village was a little strange, wondering why all the women she saw today were old Longzhong, but the young ones were not seen, and it was strange that Juxiang was the daughter of Dr. Zhong, how could she be older than Dr. Zhong. It's just that she has a stomach full of questions, but she doesn't ask as straightforwardly as Qian Ruyue.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, but she woke up to a rapid scream. When I woke up, the sky was not yet fully lit, and I could hear the rooster crow of the rooster in the village, one by one, expelling the little darkness that remained.
Gu Changsheng rubbed his eyes and sat up.
Jiang Qu and Sima Luming had already woken up early, and opened the door to see what was going on outside. And he saw a man come in with a woman in his arms.
That man, Gu Changsheng recognized, among the men who came to the hospital to pick up those women one after another at dusk yesterday, he was the oldest, around forty. The man said hurriedly, "Look at my lady." ”
Gu Changsheng turned his head sideways to look at the woman's face, and couldn't help but be stunned. I don't know if it was her delusion, but it felt like the woman was older than yesterday. No matter how time flies, there will not be a night when there are many old age spots on his face and hands.
Or was she mistaken, the woman had so many dark spots on her face.
Doctor Zhong scolded, "Didn't you tell you to take good care of people!" ”
"It's me who is not good, I can't help but take a nap, and when I wake up, she is gone. When he found her...... "The man couldn't stop crying."
Dr. Zhong was engrossed in diagnosing the pulse, and after half a ring, although he couldn't bear it, he told the truth, "She's dying, go back and prepare." accompanied her on the last journey, and also made her die blindly. ”
The man howled and wept when he heard this, and in despair he took his wife and left. Ju Xiang stood in front of the window and watched very quietly, Dr. Zhong went to open the lock of his daughter's room, and said, "Go and decoct the medicine, the others will come in a while." ”
Sima Luming had some doubts in his heart, but he wasn't sure if what he was thinking was right, so he only asked tentatively, "That lady doesn't know what strange disease she has contracted yet?" ”
Dr. Zhong took out the herbs that had been put into the house and dried them. "I'm not sick at all, I'll go see the kid in a while, and if it's okay, you can leave me quickly."
When they heard this, they had to suppress their curiosity for the time being, went back to the room and cleaned up, and naturally threw the burden to Chu Ban, who was pretending to be sick. I only brought weapons for self-defense.
Jiang Qu helped Chu Ban pull the quilt and whispered, "You are lying on **no disease**, if you can't find the herb, maybe you need to pack it for a few more days." Whether you will sleep on the street or not, but it is up to you, you have a great responsibility. ”
Qian Ruyue looked at Chu Ban and said, "If he doesn't follow, who will recognize what the snake vanilla looks like." ”
Chu Ban pulled his burden and opened it, took out a piece of paper from it and handed it to Gu Changsheng, Gu Changsheng opened it and found that there was a picture of snake herbs drawn on the paper.
Jiang Qu rubbed Chu Ban's head in praise and made his hair messy like a bird's nest, "You are still thoughtful and thoughtful, and even the pictures have been drawn." ”
Gu Changsheng folded the drawings and put them in his arms. Jiang Qu walked to the door and poked his head out to take a look, Dr. Zhong should have gone to grab medicine to prepare for the patient to come to the door for a while. He made a gesture, and Qian Ruyue gave him a boring look, just walk out of the door openly, why sneak around like a thief.
Ju Xiang was about to light a fire with the stove, and when she saw that the four of them seemed to be going out, she opened her mouth, Gu Changsheng looked at her with pleading eyes, pressed her index finger on her mouth, and made a special gesture.
Doctor Zhong originally planned to drive them away, but they threw Chu Ban in the hospital, and he knew about it, so it was estimated that he would not be able to leave.
Ju Xiang finally didn't say anything, and watched a few of them sneak out.
Originally, I thought that finding someone who was familiar with the situation on the mountain to lead the way would get twice the result with half the effort, but I thought that Dr. Zhong would not lead the way, so there should always be someone who is willing. Jiang Qu went to photograph a few people's doors again, but unfortunately this village was lifeless, and no one came to answer the door like when they came yesterday.
After a few attempts, I finally understood that it was better to ask for others than for myself. I always thought that it was rich and easy to do, and when I touched the nail, I realized that this silver is not convenient everywhere, not to mention finding someone to lead the way, I am afraid that it is just a shout, who will open the door for me, I will immediately give him a silver tael, and no one will respond.
The four of them could only dispel the idea and go up the mountain by themselves.
After the sun came out, the fog on the mountain gradually dissipated. The grass was green, and the four of them looked around with eight eyes, even if they missed something.
It's just that I've been looking for most of the day, let alone snake vanilla, and I can't even find a snake. Qian Ruyue touched her face and began to worry, "What if I really can't find it?" ”
Jiang Qu smiled, "Then someone will have to wear a face towel for the rest of their lives." ”
Qian Ruyue frowned, raised her foot to kick Jiang Qu, Jiang Qu deviated to the left, and cleverly hid beside Sima Luming, Qian Ruyue really immediately stopped her foot.
Sima Lu said, "I really can't do it, I can only go to the Fang family to ask for medicine." ”
Qian Ruyue complained, "Then what are you doing up the mountain?" "In order to see clearly, you can't fly with your sword, you can only walk, and when the sun shines, you will be tired and hot after walking for a long time, isn't this asking for hardship." Since the Fang family has snake herbs, it is good to come directly to the door, or buy it from them. ”
Jiang Qu rested his elbow on Sima Luming's shoulder, Sima Luming glared at him, he was not afraid of death, and still maintained this action, "My Miss Qian, you didn't hear this Doctor Zhong say that this master Fang used to be an official, and it is estimated that there is no shortage of that bit of silver." Now that you haven't even reached an hour, you are shouting, and we people don't know who we are going to make this trip for, so who should we shout about. ”
Qian Ruyue said unreasonably, "If it weren't for you and Gu Changsheng, would my face be like this, don't say that it sounds so good for me, you also want to make a mistake for you." ”
Jiang Qu shook his head, only thinking that Sima Luming could endure his cousin for many years, and his forbearance skills were not ordinarily good. He has always felt that beauties occasionally play with their temper and are vexatious, and sometimes they are quite cute. It's just that the money is making trouble unreasonably at the first and twelfth hours of the month, and he can't stand it anymore.
I just think that good men don't fight women, "When I say it's wrong, okay." ”
Qian Ruyue took it for granted, "It's your fault." ”
Sima Luming shook his shoulders, not used to Jiang Qu's hooked shoulders and back. Qian Ruyue and Jiang Qu sandwiched him between left and right, so that you and I said one sentence, which made him unhappy, Sima Luming sped up his steps, and would rather walk side by side with Gu Changsheng, who had few words.
"Cousin." Qian Ruyue didn't bother to pay attention to Jiang Qu, shouted coquettishly, and quickly stuck to it.
Gu Changsheng saw that there was a big stone blocking the road not far ahead, and it was not surprising that there was a stone plain on this mountain, but it was strange that there was no stone. Just when I looked closer, I found that it was written with cinnabar. Jiang Qu said, "There is actually a stone dare on this Taihua Mountain." ”
"Shi Dang?" Qian Ruyue only felt that Jiang Qu's tone was a fuss, "Isn't it just an ordinary stone." "A stone has a name?
Gu Changsheng had heard her father-in-law tell this story about Shi Dangdang. It was said that this stone dared to be a spiritual stone, and some people saw that it was huge and could block the wind and evil, so they carved words on it to ensure the safety of one party. This stone absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and became a goblin, crushing people passing by to death to absorb the essence of people, and almost became a demon. Later, it was the enlightenment of the immortals that he attained the Tao.
Jiang Qu said, "The customs are different everywhere, and the belief in nature is also different, some places worship the god of fire and Zhurong, and some worship the god of water." And Shi Dangdang is also an immortal who has attained the Tao, and can revitalize the house and suppress the ominous, ward off evil spirits, and stop evil. ”
Qian Ruyue scoffed, "Just find a stone casually, and engrave the stone to dare to be three words, just as a fairy manifestation?" At the very least, a temple should be built to worship the gods. "If she is a stone and a god who is a stone in this shabby way, if she is a great god who is called a stone dare, she will not bless these people.
Gu Changsheng remembered the dilapidated Hades temple in Tianjia Village, and she couldn't even provide the wine for worship, so she could only ask Lord Hades to drink water every day. She muttered in a low voice, "Sincerity is spirituality, and it has nothing to do with whether or not to build a temple or how much incense is offered." That is a kind of mind, if the conditions allow such as in the Yuxu faction, you can give incense candles and fresh fruits and vegetables to the Buddha statue of Hongjun ancestor every day, and if the conditions do not allow, it is the same as offering ordinary water. ”
Sima Luming and Jiang Qu were both a little surprised, they couldn't see that Gu Changsheng was dumbfounded, and occasionally they could say some truths that although they were easy to understand, not everyone understood. Sima Lu said, "The original form of Shi Dangdang is a stone, why do you have to draw snakes and build statues according to the appearance of people." ”
Qian Ruyue was silent.
Jiang Qu said, "This stone dares to be placed is also knowledgeable, and it is generally standing in the streets and alleys where the water is flushed, that is, the murder position." Taihua Mountain is a spiritual land, how can you say that the murderer is here, and it doesn't make sense to put a stone here. ”
Gu Changsheng asked studiously, "What is the road flushing grid?" ”
Jiang Qu thought that it was too complicated for her to understand, so he organized the words and tried to explain it in an easy-to-understand way, "The "qi" that water possesses will be flushed, if the back of your house is an avenue or a river, it forms a T-shape with your house, and it happens that your door is facing the avenue or the river, and when you open the door every day, you see the avenue or river stabbing towards you, isn't that like a spear stabbing over? ”
Qian Ruyue rolled her eyes, only thinking that he was showing off, while Gu Changsheng said honestly that this feng shui course really sounds like a very profound knowledge, but - "I don't understand." ”
Jiang Qu didn't care, and said with a smile, "If you don't understand, forget it, I just want to say that there is no one on this mountain at all, and Shi Dare is standing to ward off evil spirits and protect people, and standing here is completely out of the pattern." ”
Sima Luming said softly, "There are no people on the mountain, but there are people at the bottom of the mountain." ”
Gu Changsheng stared at the words on the stone, scratched his head and said, "How can I read the sentences above and feel familiar." ”
As soon as she said this, Sima Luming also looked at it seriously, "This is one of the articles in "Kaiyuan Daozang". ”
Gu Changsheng reacted, no wonder she was familiar, she had only been taught by Fu Yan not long ago, but she couldn't memorize it. He told her to copy it several times, saying that when she copied the book even in her dreams, she would be able to memorize it.
