"Cannes? But Cannes, not far from the capital? ”

"Exactly. Cannes is thirty miles southeast of the capital. ”

"Brother Yao just said that he was looking for his father?"

Ran Er saw that everyone was still standing on the ground, so he said to Yao Wenlin:

"Uncle Yao is still sick, so let's lie down on the kang and say. Lian'er went to get a few seats. ”

Yao Wenlin really couldn't stand for a long time, so when he saw that Ran'er said this, he said a few polite words to a few people and returned to the kang. The four of them sat on the seats at the door, waiting for Yao Wenlin to speak.

"My father has always been obsessed with the study of Feng Shui, and he studied under the late master Cao Mao. In his later years, he has been lingering in the world's famous mountains and scenic spots, leaving home on the sixteenth day of the first month of the beginning of the year, and has not returned so far. ”

Master Cao Mao, Ran'er and Qinglian didn't know. However, Li Cheng and Li Langzhong have long heard of their names and are the most famous feng shui masters today. When the princes and ministers of the dynasty all invited them to investigate, and even the mausoleum of the first emperor was determined after Master Cao Mao looked at it.

"My mother suddenly became seriously ill on February 2, paralyzed in bed, unable to speak. Wenlin worries that his mother has little time left and wants to find his father. Since he left home on February 20, he has been looking for his father's traces, and has been here, but suddenly he has not heard from his father until the 10th. I was anxious in my heart, I didn't want to feel cold again, and I was worried about my family, so I had to rush home overnight with illness, hoping to return home as soon as possible. Passing by here last night, I couldn't hold on, so I fell asleep in the pavilion. That's why he disturbed everyone, and Wenlin was really uneasy. ”

After speaking, Yao Wenlin stood up again and saluted everyone. In fact, what Yao Wenlin didn't say was that the coils he had brought when he left home had already been exhausted, so he had to travel overnight with illness.

"Uncle Yao, don't be so polite anymore, although we are not rich people, but we are not people who will not be saved when they die. Since it happened to happen, how could it be unreasonable? Uncle Yao is anxious to return home, which is understandable. It's just that you must take care of your body first, otherwise when you get home, there is a sick person who needs to wait, and the uncle himself is sick, so don't you have a dilemma. ”

Ran Er explained. Li Langzhong and Li Cheng also opened their mouths to persuade each other, and in the end, Yao Wenlin also knew that his current body might be difficult to hold on to until he went home. If you fall ill again on the way, things are unpredictable. I had to say to the people:

"I'm sorry for you. It's just that Wenlin is shy now, so he can only wait until he returns home to report later. ”

It can be seen that Yao Wenlin was very embarrassed to say this, his face turned red when he spoke, and his tone was also very embarrassing.

"When you go out, who hasn't thought it through, the Yao brothers don't need to be polite, their bodies are important."

Li Cheng said to Yao Wenlin.

"Uncle Yao lived in my house first, and the medicine money and consultation fees were borne by Ran'er and Qinglian. When I go home in the future, if it is convenient, I will ask someone to bring it, but if it is not convenient, it will not cost a few dollars. Uncle don't worry too much. ”

Ran'er's words were very sincere, which made Yao Wenlin a little more natural.

Li Cheng and Li Langzhong sat down for a while, said that they would come back in the afternoon, and then said goodbye one after another. Ran Er and Qinglian cleaned up the original grass house, helped Yao Wenlin to live in, and said to him:

"Uncle Yao will live here first, although the house is a little simpler, it can also protect from the wind and rain, and three meals a day Ran'er and Lian'er will be delivered on time. Uncle must not worry too much, and put his body first. ”

"Sister Ran'er, where are the adults in your family?"

"My mother has been dead for many years, and now there are only two people, Ran'er and Lian'er. Uncle can't be called that anymore, just call us Ran'er and Lian'er. ”

After Ran'er and Qinglian settled Yao Wenlin, they returned to the tiled house. I saw that Grandpa Li was already waiting in the house.

"Grandpa is here too?"

"In the morning, I met the second child to buy medicine, and my grandfather found out. How's the people? ”

"After Lang Zhong's acupuncture, I drank the medicine again, and the fever almost subsided, and it is estimated that I will have another acupuncture in the afternoon, and after drinking the medicine, the fever will be reduced tomorrow. The rest needs to be raised slowly. ”

"On the way here just now, I heard Lang Zhong say that he is not lightly ill, and I hope to get better as much as possible, otherwise it is not a long way to stay here in Ran'er."

"Uncle Yao doesn't look like a bad person, let's see in two days. Lang Zhong didn't ask for a consultation fee, but he just bought medicine and food, and it didn't cost a few dollars. ”

"This person is also fortunate to have come here, and when he met Ran'er and Lian'er, it would be difficult to say if he fainted in the wilderness."

Grandpa Li sat down for a while, went to the grass house to look at Yao Wenlin, and then turned around and went home.

Three days later, although Yao Wenlin's body was still very weak, he was able to move freely. It's okay after the meal, and also walks around. I often go to the rain pavilion by the pond to sit, sometimes I sit for most of the day, and only come back when Ran'er calls him to eat.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the Ran'er sisters' visit, Yao Wenlin said to Ran'er and Qinglian after returning from the pond again:

"Sister Ran'er, Sister Qinglian, Wenlin is leaving tomorrow. It's really been a big trouble for you two in the past eight days. ”

Although Ran'er and Qinglian repeatedly asked Yao Wenlin to call him by his first name, Yao Wenlin always insisted on calling his sister and sister.

"Uncle's body is still very weak, it's better to raise it for a few more days, in case it relapses along the way, it's not a joke."

"Nope. Wenlin is like an arrow. I don't know what my mother's condition is now, has my father ever come home? still has a weak wife and a young son, Wenlin is really relieved. ”

Seeing that Yao Wenlin insisted, Ran'er and Qinglian had no choice. Before dinner, he invited Li Langzhong to come to check the pulse, saying that he was only weak, and the rest was fine. If you must go home, it is best to take a horse-drawn carriage on the way, otherwise there is no guarantee that the condition will not recur.

After dinner, Yao Wenlin didn't have anything to pack, just a carry-on bag with a change of clothes. Ran Er discussed with Qinglian, took out three taels of silver, and handed it to Yao Wenlin.

"Uncle, that's all Ran'er and Lian'er can come up with. I guess it's enough to rent a horse-drawn carriage to Cannes, right? ”

"Sister Ran'er, Sister Qinglian, Wenlin accepted it cheekily. After returning home and settling properly, I will come to return the silver taels. ”

Yao Wenlin took the silver and gave a deep salute to Ran'er and Qinglian. After being silent for a while, Yao Wenlin said to the Ran'er sisters very cautiously:

"Sister Ran'er, Sister Lian'er, Wenlin has a sentence, I don't know if to say it or not?"

"Uncle has something to say, just say it, there's nothing wrong with it."

"The pond is my sister's tomb?"

"Exactly."

"I once said that my father was obsessed with the study of Feng Shui, but in fact, Wenlin also dabbled a little."

Ran Er and Qinglian didn't answer, just quietly waited for Yao Wenlin's next words.

"In the past few days, I **** went to the pond to check and found that this is an excellent yin cultivation hole. At the beginning, when my sister's mother was buried, did you ask someone to check it? ”

"My mother is not a local, she came here alone with her child, and she has no relatives. The mother never said that she wanted to choose the cemetery, but before she died, she told Ran'er to bury her mother there, and the location was chosen by the mother. ”

"Have you ever heard from your mother why you chose there?"

"My mother said that she wanted to guard Ran'er, and she didn't want Ran'er to be alone."

Yao Wenlin didn't ask again, but he secretly suspected in his heart, because Yao Wenlin had been exploring for many days, and found that Ran Erniang's tomb happened to be built on the main cave, which was impartial, and if it was a mistake, it would be too coincidental. If it wasn't a mistake, wouldn't it mean that the sisters' mother was also a master of Kanyu? It's just that Yao Wenlin has never heard of it, and there are still female teachers among the people, and it is inferred from the age of the Ran'er sisters that their mothers are definitely not old. Yao Wenlin, who was puzzled, had to ask Ran'er and Qinglian, but the sisters' answers made Yao Wenlin even more confused.

"Sister Ran'er, Sister Lian'er, the location of the tomb happens to be the main acupoint here, also known as the acupoint. There is a small hill in the north of the bamboo forest as a backer, and there is a stream flowing eastward, and it just so happens that you have dug a pond to store water, and water is wealth, and you can raise yin. ”

Yao Wenlin said this, glanced at the two sisters, hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Sister Ran'er, do you usually find anything abnormal?"

The two sisters didn't understand anything about what Yao Wenlin said, what was the yin nourishment, and when they heard Yao Wenlin ask if there were any abnormal findings, they couldn't help but look at each other, Qinglian saw that Ran'er nodded slightly, and then said to Yao Wenlin:

"Uncle, there is nothing else abnormal. is that every time I burn paper money for my mother, the paper ashes will fly in the air and hover for a long time before dispersing. ”

"Really?!"

After Yao Wenlin heard Qinglian's words, he asked loudly in surprise. Ran Er and Qinglian were taken aback by Yao Wenlin's violent reaction, and couldn't help but nod to Yao Wenlin together.

"If this is the case, my father has been looking for a yin cultivation hole for half his life, and he was actually touched by Wenlin. Is there anything else? ”

"Then it was the snowy night three years ago, when Ran'er and Lian'er were asleep, Niang Tuomeng asked her to get up quickly. When I got up, I found that the snow was thick on the house, but fortunately it was cleared in time, otherwise the house might have been crushed by the heavy snow. ”

Ran Er thought, since he said it, he would simply sue Yao Wenlin.

"That's true, it's true. Sister Ran'er, Sister Qinglian, Wenlin won't leave tomorrow, and will leave the day after tomorrow. I'm going to do something tomorrow. I need a thick mahogany, can you find it for me? ”

"I don't know how thick the peach wood is for uncle?"

"It is necessary to have the thickness of the bowl mouth, and it is better to be thicker, and you also need some carpentry tools."

"Okay, Uncle Yao. Coarse mahogany is not difficult to find, and the tools used in carpentry are also easy to find. When I got back, my sister and I went to find my uncle. I just don't know what the uncle is doing with these things? ”

"Sister Ran'er, Sister Lian'er, Uncle has received your great kindness beyond retribution, since he knows that this is a cave for raising yin, Wen Lin once followed his father at home and learned a small spell in Feng Shui. I won't tell my two sisters today, and I'll talk about it when things come tomorrow. ”

Ran'er and Qinglian heard that Yao Wenlin didn't want to sue them immediately, so they didn't continue to ask, and the two sisters went back to sleep in the new tile house with doubts in their hearts.
