On this morning, the farm went into the mountains to cut firewood.

He followed a rugged mountain road to the wild forest in the back mountain, and after a while, he cut a load of firewood. Just as he was about to carry his shoulders and prepare to go down the mountain, he suddenly heard a woman's scream, shouting "help", he hurriedly put down the firewood and walked away.

I saw a young girl, trapped by a stout snake.

He stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed the snake by seven inches, and subdued the poisonous snake.

Nonglu raised his head, glanced at the girl, and said angrily, "What are you doing with this girl's family in this barren mountain and wilderness, you see, how dangerous it is!" ”

The girl came to her senses at this time, and hurriedly thanked Nonglu for rescuing her just now, and thanked her repeatedly.

At this time, Nong Lu dared to look the girl in front of him up and down, and felt that his face was raw, so he asked, "What is your name?" Where do you live? ”

The girl said timidly, "My name is Wu Qing, and my family lives on the other side of the mountain. ”

After listening, Nonglu didn't ask any more questions.

When they parted, the girl took off a head rope like a red ribbon and said, "Big brother, you can take it first." "It's almost pleading.

Nonglu saw that it was not a valuable thing, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll take it." ”

When he got home, Nonglu tied the red ribbon to the window pole of his room, and when the wind blew, it danced softly, as if giving him a little brightness and a little more agility in his poor days.

A few days later, the farm climbed up the hill again to cut wood. Unfortunately, in the place where I must pass, I met the witch girl.

Wu Qing stood in front of the farmer, pulled a chic golden hairpin from his head, and said softly: "This is my family's ancestral treasure, and I am giving it to you now to thank you for your rescue!" ”

Nonglu repeatedly excused herself, and the girl was anxious: "If you don't want to, I'll jump off the cliff!" ”

The farmer couldn't resist Wu Qing, so he had to accept the golden hairpin. Wu Qing smiled with satisfaction.

When parting, Wu Qing specially explained: "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can use the golden hairpin to ignite it." ”

Hearing Wu Qing say this, Nonglu seemed to be in the clouds, so he nodded straight and spit out the word "uh-huh" in a continuous voice.

When he was idle and bored, the farmer secretly took out the golden hairpin, looked east and west, and didn't think it was anything special. He muttered: What is the use of such an ordinary thing?

He just threw it away, and this shelving was half a year.

This spring, everything is revived, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and trees are verdant. Nonglu's mother asked him to go up the mountain to worship the wild thousand-year-old tea tree, and by the way, chop some firewood to take home.

Early in the morning, the farmer went up the mountain with offerings and dry food. On the way, the thought of meeting his family's "old birthday star" soon, my heart was warm. This climb over the hill becomes easy, as if walking on the ground. After about an hour, he came to the ancient tea tree, as if he had seen a relative, and he was very happy.

Just as the farm was in high spirits, when he approached to take a closer look, he saw that the leaves had yellow spots, and some of the leaves were wilting, not like the verdant ones in the past. Nonglu was really taken aback. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was at a loss for a moment.

Generally speaking, ancient tea trees have more taproots and fewer fibrous roots. If there is an abnormality next to the tree, it can also be dangerous. Looking at the perimeter of the tree, not far away, the original trees of different sizes were cut down by someone, and some places were dug up and disemboweled.

Just as he was anxious, a gust of wind blew, and the stumps and leaves were lifted from the spot like somersaults, and the hidden dirt showed a large patch of digging marks.

According to common sense, it is the territory where the fibrous roots of the ancient tea tree extend past.

Nonglu guessed that he must have hurt the roots of the ancient tea tree, so he scolded: Which one of the people who lost his conscience did it, let me catch it, and see that I don't pull out his skin!

However, scolding now won't help, you have to think of a way to save it.

Nong Lu sat down on the ground all of a sudden, his mind blank, but he immediately realized that this was a big deal, and he had to go home as soon as possible and tell his mother the truth, to see if his mother had a remedy. He quickly picked up his things and ran away.

The farm house was almost rushing down the mountain, in a hurry, out of breath, and just arrived at a cliff, and happened to meet the girl Wuqing.

Seeing his panicked appearance, Wu Qing asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Nong Lu described to her the situation of the tea tree turning yellow and wilting off its leaves just now.

Wu Qing smiled and said:

"What's so hard about that? As long as you use the awakening method of the golden hairpin, those sick branches and leaves will recover, and your tea tree will be as lush as ever. ”

Nong Lu listened to Wu Qing's words, first felt that it was amazing, and then a little skeptical, but at this time, he couldn't think about it too much, he would rather believe that what Wu Qing said was true.

He was so anxious that he didn't have the heart to talk to Wu Qing, so he turned around and left. He just wants to get home as soon as possible, take out the golden hairpin, and wake up the tea tree, otherwise it will be a big trouble.

Nonglu ran home panting, and before he could stand firm at the foot of the house, his mother said, "Why did you come back so soon, are you a god?" ”

Nong Lu smirked and didn't say anything. In order not to worry his mother, he decided not to tell his mother about the tea tree wilting first.

Then, he stabilized his emotions and said to his mother, "I forgot something, take it and leave." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went into the room to get the golden hairpin. The mother stopped asking.

Nonglu took the golden hairpin and ran straight out of the house, but he didn't hear a word of his mother's advice.

On this day, I didn't do anything, and I was all delayed on the mountains and mountains. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he didn't care about anything else, and had the courage to go to the deep mountains and old forests.

He felt his stomach growling, so he gnawed on dry food as he walked, and when he was thirsty, he drank a few sips of stream water, and the clothes on his body were wet and dry, dry and wet, and he did not feel uncomfortable. He was anxious about the ancient tea tree on the mountain, which was the lifeblood of his family. I don't know how long he walked, but he came to a cave where he usually rested. The cave was deep and cold, and the cool air rushed to the outside of the cave, he sat down to rest, and after a while, he felt tired and subsided, so he continued to go up the mountain.

When the farmer came to a forest, he suddenly bumped into a fortune teller dressed in green clothes and holding a banana fan.

As soon as the fortune teller came up, he said, "Young man, I see that you have a fierce face." "I want to make a hexagram for the farmer.

If the farmer has any mind to divinate any hexagram, he just has to move forward.

But the fortune teller refused to give up, and chased after him from behind: "Young man, I see that you are in trouble, otherwise your family will be unlucky." ”

When the farmer heard this, he became angry, and replied to the fortune teller: "You will be unlucky." After a pause, he thought about it, how did this fortune teller know that I was in trouble?

The fortune teller greeted him: "Come, draw lots, and save you from disaster." So, the fortune teller shook the round bamboo tube in his hand and handed it to the farmer without saying anything.

Nonglu thought about it again, and smoked it, so what's the matter. So he reached out and grabbed the stick, which was neither high nor low.

The fortune teller took it in his hand, deliberately looked east and west, and said contemplatively: "Judging from the hexagram, the direction is in the west, and there is a demonic aura and evil light coming to the top, which is the appearance of calamity." ”

No, the ancient tea tree stood on the hill to the west.

The farmer asked suspiciously, "What should I do?" ”

The fortune teller pointed his hand: "You just need to nail a dragon-shaped iron nail to a big tree in the west." ”

Nonglu seemed to have fallen into the trap set by the fortune teller, and said wistfully, "I don't have nails on me, what should I do?" ”

"I've got it here." The fortune teller took out a stout dragon-shaped iron nail from the white and blue cloth bag, solemnly handed it to the farmer, and instructed: "This iron nail is specially made, and you can't see water." ”

Nonglu said "um", turned around and left.

It's already getting dark. Nonglu felt that he was walking deeper into the darkness, where there was no light, everything was dark. At this time, he is in such a state of mind.
