It's just that it didn't go far and it stopped, Zhang Taiping turned around and saw it squeaking in the tree, running backwards for a distance, turning his head right and squeaking a few times, he was puzzled, but he still followed. After turning around for nearly half an hour, I came to a big tree, there were a lot of squirrels on the tree, a lively scene, but after seeing the sables, they quickly disappeared into the bushes, it seems that these pine trees are quite afraid of sables.

The sable looked back at a tree hole above the big tree and thought about Zhang Taiping and screamed again, and then squeaked in, this is its old nest. It didn't take long for him to come out of the hole again, and put a finger-thick ginseng in front of Zhang Taiping in his mouth. In this way, he went back and forth more than a dozen times, and put a bunch of things in front of Zhang Taiping, not only valuable things such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, but also wild fruits, hawthorns, and pine nuts to eat. These are the grains it has stored, and they are now dedicated to Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping squatted down to put away the useful things, and then stroked the sable standing in front of him peeling pine nuts with his hand, this time it did not dodge again, but looked up at him than lowered his head to eat his own pine nuts and let him touch them. Seeing this scene, Zhang Taiping knew that this sable had recognized himself, and his heart rejoiced, and he took out a big apple and put it in front of it. The sable circled around the big red apple, and then hugged the apple with both paws and began to nibble hard, but its belly was still too small, and it swelled, and the apple was only a small halfway down.

When he walked out of the mountain again, the sable was already closer to Zhang Taiping, and jumped on the tree above his head. When he met the returning grimace at the mountain pass, the sable was immediately frightened and did not dare to move forward. Zhang Taiping summoned it to his hand and reassured it for a while before convincing it to continue to follow Grimace in fear.

It was close to three o'clock when I returned to the village, and the little girl Ye Ling was boiling medicine, and when Zhang Taiping entered the house, she was hesitating whether to put Lingzhi in it.

"If you don't know medical science, don't put things in it, you must know that a slight change in the combination of Chinese medicine may change from a good medicine to a poison that harms people." Zhang Taiping looked at her actions and said.

When the little girl heard this, she quickly put the Ganoderma lucidum next to her, she only knew that the medicinal effect of the Ganoderma lucidum was very magical, but she didn't know how to use it to cure diseases and save people.

After boiling the medicine, the little girl went into the back room, Zhang Taiping did not follow up, and took out the little Tibetan mastiff on the chair in the front room and put it next to the grimace, so that the mother and son made love for a while. Although the sable was afraid of grimaces, it was very curious about the little Tibetan mastiff, and after the grimace went out, he jumped down from the roof beam and looked around the little Tibetan mastiff. Although the Tibetan mastiff is small, it can also roar, lying on the ground and making a fluttering posture, which looks even more cute. I fed it some food and put it in the space, now it's not at home, it will be inconvenient to take it around, so it's better to put it in the space.

Zhang Taiping was about to tease Sable and Xiaoxi when he suddenly heard Ye Ling's cry in the back room, and immediately went to the back room.

The room still smelled of herbs, and there was a little bit of blood in it. I saw that the little girl Ye Ling was lying in front of the window and was already crying, while the woman lying on the bed covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed heartbreakingly, coughing up a large amount of blood every time.

Seeing Zhang Taiping come in, the woman's eyes suddenly burst into brilliance, and the color on her face was much more ruddy. Seeing this scene, Zhang Taiping frowned, it is not a good sign that he is terminally ill and suddenly appears in such a situation, people have a return to the light before they die, Zhang Taiping now suspects that this woman is in this state. Apparently he had something to say, so he sat up and leaned against the back of the bed.

"Grandma, how are you?" Ye Ling saw that her grandmother, who had been sick in bed for a long time, sat up, innocently a medicinal herb worked, and her grandmother's illness was cured, maybe this was also the biggest dream she thought about at night.

The woman waved her hand and said, "Ling'er, remember every word that grandma says now." ”

The little girl had not yet understood the seriousness of the matter, and was immersed in the self-joy of her grandmother's illness and was about to recover, and nodded happily "yes" when she heard her grandmother's words.

The woman touched her head lovingly, turned to Zhang Taiping, who was frowning, and said, "I believe that this gentleman can see my current condition, so I will make a long story short." ”

To be honest, Zhang Taiping really wanted to turn around and leave, and didn't want to hear what she said next, what can a dying person say to a stranger? It's not just a lot of trouble. But reason could only let him stay, and the guilt in his heart for the little girl Ye Ling didn't allow him to turn around and leave like this.

As if he could see what Zhang Taiping was thinking: "I know that what I said next may be a bit embarrassing, sir." But they will compensate with things. Then he said to Ye Ling next to him, "Ling'er, take out the sword in the cabinet and give it to this gentleman." ”

Although Ye Ling wondered why his grandmother gave this sword of love like life to a stranger, he still obediently opened the large cabinet next to the bed, took out a sword wrapped in silk, and held it in both hands and handed it to Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping did not take it with his hand, but looked at the woman leaning on the bed. The little girl saw that Zhang Taiping did not take the sword, and looked back at her grandmother.

The woman covered her chest and smiled slightly, and said to herself: "This is the Tai'a sword, you can choose to keep it yourself, or you can choose to sell it yourself, it has been used as a sword for several emperors, I believe it is still worth some money." ”

Zhang Taiping looked at the sword wrapped in silk and still hadn't picked it up, and could guess something she wanted to do in her heart, but she still opened her mouth and asked, "I don't know what I need to do?" ”

The woman looked at Ye Ling, who was still holding the sword in front of Zhang Taiping with both hands, and her eyes softened: "Ahem, I hope you can take Ling'er away and take good care of it." ”

With the sound of the iron falling to the ground, Ye Ling's hands shook when he heard this, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. She turned around and threw herself on the edge of the bed and cried, "Grandma, I don't want to leave you, why are you driving me away?" ”

"Silly boy." The woman touched her head and didn't answer, just watched Zhang Taiping wait for his return.

"You trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will run away with my sword?" Zhang Taiping asked with a frown.

"Hehe, cough, cough, although he is sick, cough cough, his heart is not broken." The woman began to cough violently again, blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, the rosiness on her face disappeared, and the dead air spread rapidly.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you? What's wrong? I don't want to leave you," Ye Ling hugged his grandmother's arm and cried.

Zhang Taiping looked at the little girl who was crying heartbreakingly, and then at the woman whose vitality was disappearing, and her eyes had dimmed again, and nodded: "Okay, I will take care of her, like my own daughter." ”

The woman's face finally showed a smile of relief, and she turned her head and said with difficulty to Ye Ling, who was already crying hoarsely: "After grandma leaves, Ling'er will leave with this gentleman." ”

"No, I'm not leaving grandma, I'm not going to leave grandma." The little girl burst into tears and cried, "I have Ganoderma lucidum, I have Ganoderma lucidum, I can save grandma." He wanted to run out of his mouth, but was dragged by the woman.

"Do you hear that?"

"Grandma, why don't you want Ling'er, why don't you want Ling'er?" The little girl's voice was almost silent.

"Do you hear that?" The woman still struggled to spit out these four words Finally, the little girl nodded, and then buried her face in the quilt and cried bitterly, her little shoulders twitching, obviously sad to the extreme.

Zhang Taiping stood next to him and saw such a scene, and he didn't know whether he was right or wrong in this matter, looking at the little girl who was crying silently, and then looking at the woman who was quickly disappearing and lifeless but slowly closed her eyes with a relieved smile, Zhang Taiping was shaken for the first time about his approach, is it really wrong?

The woman's hand on Ye Ling's wrist slowly let go and hung on the edge of the bed. Ye Ling raised his head and grabbed the hand hanging on the edge of the bed, "Grandma, grandma" and shouted twice, but the woman on the bed was silent. The little girl suddenly fell backwards as well. Zhang Taiping stepped forward and held her up.

Two days later, in the morning, the little girl sat in the house with the ashes in her arms. The woman had already explained to the people in the village before, and she was cremated after her death.

"Let's go." Zhang Taiping said softly.

The little girl carried the bamboo basket with a wooden expression, and put some things in it to take away. And he walked out.

Zhang Taiping grabbed her: "You don't need to carry such a big bamboo basket on your back, you can use this." As he spoke, he handed over his travel bag.

Oh, the little girl silently put the contents of the bamboo basket into her backpack, and walked out with the urn in her hand.

Zhang Taiping snatched the box from her hand and put it into the bag behind her in the little girl's teary eyes. Then he wiped her tears, pulled her up, and walked out. There are a lot of villagers outside, and it seems that the woman's prestige and popularity here are good.

"Did your grandmother really say she wanted you to go with this gentleman?" The village chief stood up and asked Ye Ling.

Seeing so many villagers, the little girl's sadness was slightly subdued, and she wiped her face with her right hand and looked up at Zhang Taiping and replied, "Yes." ”

"Alas" The villagers all shook their heads and sighed, the little girl has suffered a lot, everyone has seen it in the past two years, but they can help as much as they can, and there are too many who can't do anything.

The village chief touched Ye Ling's head and said to Zhang Taiping: "Although I don't know why her grandmother entrusted her to you, there must be a reason in it, and I won't do much to stop it, I just hope that Mr. can treat Xiao Ling'er well." Alas"

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "You can rest assured that I will treat her like my own daughter." ”

Out of the village, the little girl showed her emotions for the first time in the past two days, and turned to look at the village looming in the early morning mist, her eyes full of reluctance and sorrow.
