Chapter 5 Yangjiazhai
"That's as it should be, it's been 2 days on the mountain, in fact, you don't have to stay here all day, just come every morning, you need to accumulate slowly to learn medicine and practice martial arts, and you can only accumulate when you have a solid foundation. There is another saying that the master introduces the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, and the teacher can only guide you the way, and it depends more on your understanding and unremitting efforts. When you go down the mountain, remember to bring some medicine and wine for your grandfather, and I'll visit him another day. ”
"Master, you're so good, I haven't mentioned it yet, your old man just said it."
"Okay, you kid has been thinking about it for a long time, what is so rare, the medicinal materials for soaking wine are all picked in the mountains, except for a few main medicines that are difficult to find, the others are ordinary. Apprentice, this mountain is full of treasures, come early tomorrow morning, teach you the eight methods of medicine and the Hundred Herbs Sutra for the teacher, and you can also go to collect medicine by yourself in the future. However, you have to remember that you can't go up the mountain by yourself now, especially if you can't cross the Cloud Scar Peak, the more you go in, the more dangerous it is, you must know that the jackals, tigers and leopards, poisonous insects and miasma in the deep mountains are all common, and the more dangerous are those spiritual objects and foreign objects that have lived for a long time. Lao Dao admonished solemnly.
"Don't worry, Master, I have my own measure. By the way, Master, tell me about this method of entering and exiting the forest, and I can come in and practice martial arts by myself in the future! ”
"Okay, I'll teach you now, the mantra is ......"
Yang Jibin carried a wine gourd on his shoulder, hummed a song, and walked to Yangjiazhai under the mountain in a comfortable mood. In the mountains of midsummer, the sky is blue, the mountains are full of lushness, the wind is gusting, the staggered branches of the trees stretch out luxuriantly, and the uneven dome and green clouds woven by the fluttering leaves stop in the clear blue sky. Raised and towering hillsides, pines, cypresses, wild plantain trees, black locust trees, aspen, ginkgo biloba...... Standing proudly in the weeds, each showing its own unique posture, clustered on the hillside, the mountain wind blows, such as the sound of the waves, this sound beats the heart, comfortable and happy, sucking the sweet air in the wind, like drinking a glass of strong wine, sweet drunk, like a flower fairy floating in it. With thick weeds as the background color, colorful wildflowers as the embellishment, the hillside is colorful, beautiful, and the summer color dyes the hillside beautifully, just like a young woman in a new dress, with a plump and graceful body. A small stream meanders through the forest, the crystal clear landscape water is like flowing gelatin, and the moist air also gives people a crystal-like feeling.
Looking up into the distance, it is really a mountain and a mountain high. This Longhu mountain range stretches 1000 kilometers from east to west, 60 to 100 kilometers wide from north to south, there are five main peaks in the whole mountain range, the highest peak Dengxiantai is more than 7600 meters above sea level, the second peak Shengong Peak is 6700 meters above sea level, the third peak Shennu Peak is 5500 meters above sea level, the fourth peak Yunji Peak is 3600 meters above sea level, the shortest Yaowang Peak is 1400 meters above sea level, and its own Yangjiazhai is located on a plateau with an altitude of 500 meters above sea level under Yaowang Peak.
The current village head of Yangjiazhai is the head of the Yang family, that is, Yang Jibin's grandfather Yang Yiren. The Yang family traces back to the ancestors, it is also a thousand-year-old inheritance of the orderly cultivation family, the ancestral home of Qin Province, the ancestors of the family in the Southern Song Dynasty had an official worship of a product, illustrious for a while, its descendants have also repeatedly come out, in an important position, the family genealogy is "Huguo Town Kyushu, Qing officials Shao Mingchen, Dingtai Zhao Dalie, Weidao re-Xingshi, Dasheng Guangde, rich and noble family, benevolence and righteousness are auspicious, civil and military are stable, and the incorruptible and noble products. Poetry and books are heroic, Junjie Yao ancestors, eloquent talents, good foundation and prosperity, two thousand years of determination, four knowledge of Wan Dai Chang", Yang Jibin's grandfather is the 32nd generation of righteous characters, and Yang Jibin is the 34th generation of auspicious characters.
Yang Jibin's grandfather was a talented man in the late Qing Dynasty, good at calligraphy, chess, Go, and tea. Before the liberation, a family of more than 10 people only had a few acres of mountainous land left to barely survive, and in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the land was rated as a poor peasant, which was also a blessing in disguise and escaped a catastrophe.
Yang Jibin's grandmother is an authentic peasant woman, an old lady with small feet, and among many children and grandchildren, her favorite is Yang Jibin's grandson.
Yang Jibin's father is the fourth, and he has 3 older brothers and a younger sister. There are more than 50 members of the entire direct family, plus nearly 300 relatives of the collateral distant relatives, and more than 430 people in more than 50 households in the entire Yangjiazhai. As for the influence of the village cadres, it is really not very influential, and because it is located in the mountains, the people in the village often fight with the beasts and poisonous insects in the mountains, wandering between life and death, and it can be regarded as a fierce folk style. In those years of famine, who didn't have a few hunting bows, didn't have a few gunpowder shotguns, and didn't have any deaths or injuries due to a fight? This is also a confirmation of the ancient proverb that the poor mountains and the water come out of the people.
Yang Jibin's uncle, born as a stonemason, has amazing stone carving skills, is good at carving lions, tigers, unicorns, etc., and is a worker in the Railway Bureau. Sanbo, a carpenter, has outstanding craftsmanship, good at furniture, building houses, and wood carving. Auntie, a rural woman, runs a restaurant in the county town, has superb cooking skills, and is good at farmhouse stir-frying.
I don't know why, Yang Jibin was like an arrow at this time, and his ears seemed to sound the sigh of Empress Li's country after the collapse of his family: "Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, it is easy to see when you don't want to see it, and sometimes it is difficult." What a painful thing it is to be homeless or have a home and not be able to go back! Home is where the heart goes, and where the heart is, there is home. With a home, you have everything. Home is the source of life, and everything has a common foundation, and that is home. Yang Jibin secretly made up his mind again in his heart that he must protect his home in this life, protect his relatives who love and love him, so that they can be safe, healthy, and happy in this life.
Yang Jibin couldn't help but feel the wind under his feet, in the past, it took 30 minutes to go down the mountain to Yangjiazhai, but this time it took less than 15 minutes to finish, and he saw the blue tile house made of bricks and stones in his ancestral house from a distance. Nestled among the lush greenery, the rustic houses are a place to retreat from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Outside the house, a green fence blew by a gust of wind, creating layers of green waves, which were covered with crystal water droplets, flashing with strange light. The tired bird was jumping up and down in the shade, and an old yellow dog lay down there, panting heavily. At this time, I faintly saw several old people, sitting around a small coffee table under the fence, sipping tea, playing chess, and chatting about family life.
Before Yang Jibin walked into the yard, his big yellow dog barked, and ran to Yang Jibin's side shaking his head and tail, and the sharp-eyed grandmother Feng immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "Bin Bin, you came back from the old fairy, did you have lunch, I won't cook for you if you don't eat." "Feng is already in his sixties this year. His head was covered with gray hair, his forehead and the corners of his eyes were written all over his forehead, and he was wearing a blue shirt and black pants. Grandma's kind eyes were always smiling, and her words were crisp and nice.
Yang Jibin knows that grandma loves himself the most, I remember when I was a child, no matter what I did wrong, my grandmother would stand in front of her, block it for herself, remember that once there is something delicious, the first one to eat first, always yourself, remember that you always have more than five dimes of pocket money in your hand, remember ...... Yang Jibin couldn't help but blush, in his previous life when he was 18 years old, when he didn't have time to repay his grandmother, his most beloved grandmother went west, which made Yang Jibin regret his life, at this moment he was deeply grateful to God for giving him a chance to honor his grandmother, and he must learn medical skills in this life, so that his grandmother can live a long life, enjoy the joy of family, eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and enjoy the wealth of the world.
Yang Jibin walked into the courtyard and said to several visitors: "Grandpa is good, grandma is good, second grandpa is good, third grandpa is good!" Grandma, I've already had lunch at Master's, and you see, I've brought something back to your second elder. Yang Jibin raised the wine gourd hanging on his body, "This is the fairy water I asked for from the old fairy, baby!" ”
