Chapter 18: The Woman's Aunt

It turned out that in the new year, he immersed himself in learning painting and ignored no one, because he felt that his knowledge was shallow, and he was not qualified to talk to Huahua Kuaqi, and he should also be modest and cautious in front of his senior brother, so as not to leave a bad impression on his teacher.

When his paintings were appreciated, he boldly approached Huahua, sold paintings in the studio with her, solicited the opinions of customers, solicited business, and customized various famous paintings such as "Sending the Child Guanyin" and "Eight Immortals to Celebrate Birthday" according to the requirements of customers, which were well received by customers, and the business of the workshop was prosperous.

In this way, Huahua snubbed Jia Ren even more, and the master also scolded him for "mud can't support the wall", he was even more lazy to lift the paintbrush, and always went to the tavern every day to get drunk, and when he came back, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.

When the master saw that Wu Heshan was so promising, he had the intention of recruiting him as his son-in-law, and Huahua couldn't ask for it, and he was even more affectionate to him, accompanying him when he was painting, helping to point, serving him tea and water, competing to wash the dirty clothes that had been changed, sewing and mending, and caring for him, which aroused Jia Ren's jealousy even more.

At the end of the three-year apprenticeship, Wu Xiangshan agreed to help take care of the art workshop business after being retained by his teacher and Huahua, but Jia Ren had to carry the burden and go home.

That night, he was drunk again, lying on the bed and thinking about it, just go back like this, he has achieved nothing, he spent a lot of silver taels in the family, it is difficult to explain in front of his parents, if he doesn't go back, he can't stay and continue to learn art. The master didn't teach, the sister didn't love it, and it didn't make sense to stay here, so drunk and dazed, he actually lit a lantern placed next to the bed, causing a raging fire.

Seeing that the four people were about to be buried in the sea of fire, a tornado suddenly blew in the sky, rolling Wu Heshan and Huahua into the sky, and rolled into this mysterious "Immortal Medicine Valley", at that time, there were more than 100 people in the valley, Wu Heshan, and Huahua became relatives and became a member of the valley under the auspices of the valley owner.

Since then, the two have had children together, reproduced offspring, and now have a grandson and granddaughter Dongmei. At this time, there was a "clanging" sound of striking iron in the col, and it turned out that the blacksmiths were building various tools.

Fang Lei originally wanted to walk over and take a look, but Dongmei said impatiently: "Forget it!" Jingle people are noisy, and they should go back to dinner! ”

The two of them began to rush back, and when they reached the waterhole, the valley people were scrambling to catch fish! Everyone is not greedy, grab one and leave, hurry back to taste the good taste, with a satisfied smile on their faces, how easy it is to satisfy the valley people who have no desires and no desires!

As the saying goes: contentment is always happy, I hope you will be so happy and happy all your life!

Back in the valley mansion, Fang Lei said to the valley master: "Dad! There are four mines of gold, silver, copper and iron in Xishan, this immortal medicine valley is really rich and rivals! ”

The valley lord said: "Dad has already gone to investigate, and the iron ore is still mined by Dad and others!" ”

Fang Lei asked puzzledly: "Then why didn't Dad take someone to mine those three mines?" ”

"The people in the valley can't get out of the valley, and the ore can't be transported, so what's the use of giving you a mountain of gold and silver? Isn't it the same as a chicken on the boat - guarding the river without water to drink? The valley lord sighed and said.

"One day, I will break out of the valley, transport these ores out, and lead the whole valley to make a fortune!" Fang Lei said with confidence.

The valley lord encouraged: "Lei'er! Dad knows that you have the determination and the ability, because you can come back safe and sound when you break into the valley, this is the first step to success, Dad has lived here for more than 300 years, and I hope that there will be a day when I get out of the valley! ”

Fang Lei said happily: "Dad! You also support me to go to the valley? ”

"Not supported before! Now that I support it, I have thought about it for a while, according to your ability, I think that God wants to send you to develop the resources of the Immortal Medicine Valley for the benefit of the public, not to lock you up here for a lifetime, Dad believes that as long as you have perseverance and unremitting efforts, one day, you will be able to break out of the valley, communicate with the outside world, and benefit the people of the valley! ”

"Thank you for my father's trust and support, one day, I will definitely be able to successfully defeat the demon world and break out of the valley!"

The people of the Immortal Medicine Valley all said that the "Death Valley" was a demon realm, a place where the demons lived, and none of the first few people who came out of the valley came back, and they must have been eaten by the devils even with flesh and bones.

Fang Lei used to be a "ghost-free theorist", but after a journey into the valley, he found that the wind on the side of the "Death Valley" was terrifying, and he estimated that those people were scared to death.

After eating dinner and soaking in a medicinal bath, he lay on the bed and fell asleep drunk, until the fifth watch, when he was awakened by Dongmei, and he was refreshed again after eating red fruit and drinking fairy springs.

Now he knows: why did the valley lord give him red passion fruit and fairy spring to enjoy, specially prepared the recipe for the medicinal bath for him, and now he is not simply using medicinal green to rub, but also using the rhizomes of Chinese herbs to boil water to soak him. It turned out that in order for him to have a strong physique, recuperate his energy, so as to break through the "Death Valley" and open up contact with the outside world to prepare, he secretly made up his mind that he must live up to the expectations of the valley owner and be worthy of the care of his hometown.

Dongmei said: "Young Valley Lord! Since you came to the Immortal Medicine Valley, you have been wandering around the West Valley, and today I will take you to the East Valley to visit! ”

It turns out that the immortal medicine valley also has the east valley and the west valley, the land in the west valley is barren, most of them are mainly ore, and the stones used in construction are also mined in the west mountain, and then transported to the east valley by trolley to build houses; The land on this side of the East Valley is fertile, and the soil on the mountains is black and oily, so there are fruit trees and mulberry plants growing all over the mountains.

What's more interesting is that the West Mountain is a green man working, and the East Mountain, but a green woman is working, the valley people call it "East Phoenix and West Dragon", this metaphor, image and funny.

When the two came to Donggu, a large group of women were processing the collected medicinal ingredients: some were washing lotus roots, arrowroot, Huaishan and other potatoes with water, and some were picking the fresh and green leaves on the herbs.

Walking and walking, Dongmei suddenly walked forward quickly and said affectionately: "Mother! The daughter accompanied the young valley lord over! ”

When Fang Lei heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen my aunt, the juniors are so polite!" ”

The aunt hurriedly stood up and returned the blessings, and said, "Don't be like this, the young valley master, torture the old body!" ”

"Yes, respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, and the younger generations must follow it!" Fang Lei said sincerely.

Dongmei said: "Mother! The young valley master is a young man who knows books and etiquette, and besides, your old man is an older generation, and this gift can be afforded! ”

At this time, a woman next to her also stood up and said, "The concubine has seen the young valley master!" ”

Fang Lei hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Don't be polite, auntie, the juniors are polite!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the woman's face turned red, and it was hot to the root of her ears, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Dongmei said: "This is my cousin, and they haven't married yet!" ”

In the Valley of Immortal Medicine, women generally marry after the age of twenty-five and give birth to babies around the age of thirty, while a woman at the age of three hundred is as young as a woman at the age of twenty-five, can you tell which one is a woman and which one is an aunt?
