This Donglu is wide, and it has passed the year of confusion, and it is the daughter of an official eunuch in neighboring Yanggu County, named Zhao Yueniang, virtuous and virtuous, and the internal and external dots are very neat. After giving birth to a daughter, she has not given birth to any more.

The daughter of Donglu Mansion is a single name, 28 years old, born with a hundred charms, has a little understanding of poetry, descriptive embroidery, bamboo and silk are all presentable, very spoiled by the people of Yifu.

But after more than ten years, seeing that there is no man under his knees, Master Donglu has finally become a heart disease. Sometimes frowning, sighing. Zhao Yueniang once asked Zhang Luo to ask for a small room for the master, but in the early years, the war was chaotic, the world was not peaceful, and he had not been able to live in peace, so this matter was delayed.

Two years ago, after the world calmed down, Zhao Yueniang asked Li Ju'er, the daughter of the shopkeeper of the leather shop in the east of the county, to make her husband small. Li Ju'er married into the mansion, and Zhao Yueniang often asked the old man to stay overnight at Li Ju'er's side, but after a year and a half, I still didn't see any movement in Li Ju'er's stomach.

About two months ago, a monk came to the house, and saw that Zhao Yueniang did good deeds and gave charity to the Bodhisattva's heart, so he opened a party to the master of Donglu, which is special about the use of the clear spring on the Black Pine Mountain 40 miles away from Qinghe County, and it also needs three minutes of clear spring water at noon to enter the medicine. When the monk left, he also specially instructed that the preparation of the medicine primer should not be passed on to outsiders.

This Donglu Mansion is to open a medicine shop to make a fortune, and I know what prescription I have, so the old man of Donglu didn't care much about this medicine, but he really couldn't resist Yueniang, and even tried two doses, I didn't want to, I suddenly felt a little refreshed, and I couldn't say the wonder, Donglu Guang was very surprised, and I kept taking it, and I couldn't leave this medicine.

It's just that although this Black Pine Mountain is not too far from the county seat, it is not a simple matter to have clear spring water at three o'clock in the afternoon every day. Yueniang must personally tell the two trustworthy handymen in the house every day, regardless of wind or rain, to go up the mountain in turn to get spring water, and there must be no mistakes.

On this day, something should happen. Both of the handymen were sick with a cold, and the matter of getting water was to be delayed. After the housekeeper Du Zixin got up early in the morning, he went to the back hall to wait for Zhao Yueniang, and when the lady finished washing and came to the back hall for dinner, he stepped forward to inform the aunt. The eldest lady sank slightly, and asked the big housekeeper to call Liang Yuxi in.

Liang Yuxi went to the back hall and stood down after giving a salute to the eldest mother. The eldest lady instructed: "Yuxi, if you don't go with your father today, I will send you to the bundle spring on the mountainside of the Black Pine Mountain, take an urn of spring water at three o'clock in the afternoon, and decoct medicine for your father, don't delay." After speaking, he asked the chief butler to explain the key points along the way, and asked him to go and come back quickly.

Although it was still early, in order not to delay the hour, Liang Yuxi received the water urn and hourglass for water, and together with Ma Degui and the two, they set up a donkey cart and went to Heisong Mountain early.

Out of the county, the autumn breeze was slightly drunk along the way, and the two were talking and laughing. Although the eldest lady and the housekeeper told her again and again, Liang Yuxi knew that as long as the time was correct, nothing would go wrong with this errand.

When the donkey cart arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ma Degui didn't want to leave after eating all the way, so he stayed to watch the donkey cart and let Liang Yuxi go down the mountain road to the mountainside alone to find the clear spring water. Liang Yuxi carried the water urn and walked up the road.

This black pine mountain is continuous, dense forests, there have always been many legends of gods, demons, fairies and demons, and it is also a towering spiritual mountain treasure land. The road that Liang Yuxi walked also leads directly to the famous view on the mountain, called the Sanqing Palace, and it is said that the temple is very majestic.

In the previous dynasty, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism were damaged by the imperial court, the temples and Taoist temples were destroyed a lot, the monks and Taoists were driven away by the government, and the Taoists of the Sanqing Palace also scattered to avoid disasters. Song Taizu founded the country, respected Buddhism and Taoism, the imperial court reallocated gold and silver to repair the temple, and the scattered Taoists gradually came back, and the incense gradually appeared.

Along the way, Liang Yuxi didn't dare to slack off, and after a short time, he went down the mountain road and found the place where the mountain spring water was. I saw that the spring water was stored into a small pool, surrounded by bluestone slabs, and there were two big characters written next to it. When Liang Yuxi saw that the sky was about the same, he took out more leaks, and as soon as three o'clock in the afternoon, he took out an urn full of spring water.

When he got up, Liang Yuxi thought for a while, and in the place where the sunlight and the shadows of the trees were clear, he took a stone and carved a stone on the bluestone by the spring to mark the hour. This is also where this kid is a little better than his peers, and he thinks about everything more thoroughly.

On the way back, there were no pilgrims and woodcutters, so Liang Yuxi just buried his head and walked quickly. In the city, I heard that the hunters of this mountain said that there are many birds and beasts in the Black Pine Mountain, and there are even big insects, especially at night, and they dare not walk alone. Liang Yuxi was afraid that a big insect would jump out of the mountain road, and he was also afraid that he would delay the hour.

After walking for a while, I had some urgency to urinate for a while, and I was afraid that someone would pass by on the road, so I thought that there was a toilet not far in front of me, so I ran to the toilet.

As soon as he arrived at the latrine, a Taoist hurriedly came out of it, with a burly figure and a face like black charcoal, and passed by him in great strides. Liang Yu was happy to see the Taoist walking away, put the water urn on the side of the road, and entered the latrine.

When he went out, Liang Yuxi looked up and saw a blanket on the chaimen, which was so old that it was mixed with the chaimen, and it was not too noticeable if it was not careful. Liang Yuxi thought about taking off the blanket, it was heavy, and looked through it with his hand, only to find that the blanket contained several ingots of silver, a total of one hundred taels, and a letter sealed with fire wax.

Although Liang Yuxi is a small servant of a big family, so much money is common, but this windfall is the first time he has encountered it. Liang Yuxi pondered, this money is not a decimal number, and the lost person must be anxious and will come back to look for it.

But I was also a little unsure for a while. He couldn't make up his mind, not whether he should be greedy for this windfall, but he thought that if he left, this blanket might be taken by the unrighteous people, and if he waited here, and he didn't know when the person would find it, the clear spring water of the old man's decoction would be delayed.

Anxious for a while, he thought of his mother's daily teachings. Although his mother is an illiterate person who does rough work, she has always said to herself the most, that is, to emphasize the word benevolence and righteousness. His mother often chatters, and the daughter is scattered and comes back, and the word benevolence and righteousness are not exchanged. Liang Yuxi knew that this was not his mother's words, she was just rapping his father's words. When his father didn't die, he was a rural talent, and according to his mother, he was useless except Sven.

Liang Yuxi made up his mind and sat down, thinking in his heart that the person who lost his wealth would find it quickly, and he would be able to rush back to the city. I didn't sit tightly, I didn't pay much attention to the depths of this dense forest, and I felt indescribable when I sat down. I saw that in the pine forest and bushes, I knew the sound of the rope from time to time, and the sudden roar, I don't know what it was, and it was very frightening.

About half an hour later, when Liang Yuxi couldn't sit still, there was a sudden sound of birds and beasts escaping, and there was silence all around. Liang Yuxi wondered if there was an Orion passing by, but he felt that it was wrong, this Orion behaved cautiously and would not cause any movement. Don't......

Liang Yuxi only heard a low roar, and saw that at the end of the mountain road, a big insect was swaggering down the mountain. Liang Yuxi was shocked, only to feel that his whole body was weak and could not move. This big insect, Liang Yuxi has only seen the dead one, and it was carried by the hunters in the county seat. When I saw this big live insect today, I only felt that the roar was not angry but powerful, and it was breathtaking. If I hadn't just come out of the latrine, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to help myself at this time.

was in a nowhere to retreat, only to see behind the big worm, followed by a black tower-like Taoist, Liang Yuxi looked at it and recognized him as the Taoist who passed by him. Look at the big insect again, although this walk is majestic, but when looking back at the Taoist, it is also naïve.

The man looked at Liang Yuxi's coat on his side, and his face was happy. He scolded the big worm and walked up to Liang Yuxi. After giving a gift, he said: "This little brother should be waiting for the owner of this blanket, and the poor road is exact." ”

Liang Yuxi's teeth only fought on both sides, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. I saw that the tiger had stopped a few feet away from him, and he had no intention of getting close. He also hurriedly returned the salute: "That big insect is Dao Ye's, you just don't let it get close." ”

"Little brother, don't worry, it's just a big cat, and it has nothing to show for it."

Liang Yu's preferences were not easy before he really settled down, and replied: "I found this blanket in this latrine, but I don't know who the owner is." ”

The Taoist priest said: "This is not difficult, there are a hundred taels of silver in this blanket, a letter, and a firewood character is embroidered on the blanket, and the little brother can look at it carefully." ”

Liang Yuxi looked down at the blanket, and indeed embroidered a firewood word in the lower corner, it seems that this person is the owner of the blanket. Liang Yuxi handed the blanket to the Taoist, and after the Taoist took the blanket, he saluted again and said: "Little brother has been waiting here for a long time, he is really a benevolent and righteous person, I think you should be from a big family, can you tell me?" ”

"I'm a little guy in Donglu Mansion, I went up the mountain to get water, and now it's a little delayed, and the Taoist is also slow back, so I can rush down the mountain."

"You have a sincere heart, and there is no way to repay the poor road," after speaking, the Taoist took off a delicate thing tied around his waist and handed it to Liang Yuxi, "This object will be given to the little brother, if there is an emergency, you can come to Sanqing Palace to find me, and call me the Taoist of the Void Seal." ”

After the two finished speaking, they said goodbye and turned to go their separate ways.

When Liang Yuxi went down the mountain, he felt that his legs and feet had some strength, first, he was getting farther and farther away from the tiger, and secondly, he was in a hurry, afraid of missing the time. After a short time, he returned to the donkey cart, and Ma Degui was also anxious, and it seemed that he was a little anxious to wait.

The two hurried away without gossiping, and along the way, Liang Yuxi told Ma Degui about the adventure on the mountain, and Ma Degui shook his head when he heard it, he really didn't believe this experience. Liang Yuxi thought of the exquisite thing, picked it up and took a look, and knew that the baby was an ivory carved waist card, only to see two dragons surrounded by a firewood character, carved very exquisitely, there was some weather, and I really liked it in my heart.

Back at Donglu Mansion, the chief housekeeper was also wandering around at the gate, and when he saw that the two of them had finally returned, he hurriedly took the water urn, and asked, "Have you missed the time?" ”

Liang Yuxi replied to him truthfully, and did not miss the hour when he fetched water, but he was a little delayed when he came back and went down the mountain to encounter strange things. The old housekeeper knew that Liang Yuxi was loyal, believed what he said, ignored him anymore, carried the water urn and went to the back wing, and ordered his subordinates to decoct the medicine. This matter is not a big deal, after the eldest lady heard it, she didn't pursue it, after all, they all believe that Liang Yuxi is loyal, as long as the time to get water is correct, it is okay if the decoction is delayed.

But when the matter reached the ears of the master, the master was very unhappy. At dinner, he called Liang Yuxi to him and asked him to tell him about the matter. Liang Yuxi told the truth and did not dare to hide it in the slightest. The old man sneered while listening, making those who were worried about Liang Yuxi on the left and right sweat.

After Liang Yuxi finished speaking, Dong Luguang slammed the bowl and chopsticks on the table, and said sharply: "You little brute, you have become the humble gentleman who talks about benevolence and righteousness, why don't you use your general knowledge of the whole thing on your own family?" How can you not be ashamed of putting gold on your face. Seeing that the old man was angry, the eldest lady persuaded each other on the side, saying that this Yuxi had not missed the time to get water, and she would come down to the big housekeeper to discipline her. The eldest lord said disapprovingly: "It's all this little beast who is talking alone, who knows if he takes the water on time, I'm just afraid that he is just for a moment of play, and he missed the time and made up a bunch of nonsense." ”

Liang Yuxi lowered her head and shed tears, and the eldest lady also felt that the old man was making a fuss, so she signaled Liang Yuxi to hurry up. Seeing that he didn't dare to leave, Donglu Guang scolded him: "Are you still waiting to receive the reward for today's affairs?" Don't get out of here! ”

After Liang Yuxi went down in a panic, Dong Luguang instructed the chief housekeeper Du Zixin to call the handyman who went up the mountain to fetch water the next day to see if the time when Liang Yuxi was engraved was true. The next day, the handyman who came back replied to the old man, and the hour when Liang Yuxi carved it was three o'clock in the afternoon, although Dong Luguang didn't say it, he nodded secretly in his heart, and he also thought a little more.

It's just that after Liang Yuxi was scolded in the back hall, his mother sighed all day long, which made him frown. He was only afraid that the master would blame him from now on, and he would be swept away from the house, and at the least, he would be sent to do those heavy work, and from then on he would be mixed with those miscellaneous servants. It's no wonder that this young man is most afraid of losing people's trust. He was originally a duckweed background, and when he was an adult, he was able to get the attention of the top and bottom, but this sudden change made him uncomfortable for a while.

A few small servants in the house, who are often scolded by the lord for being stupid, are also quite gloating at this time, in the past, the lord's side often called Yuxi, and they were supported to do the miscellaneous work; In the past few days, when I saw the old man go out, I didn't call Yuxi, but asked a few of them to follow, and Liang Yuxi was inevitably sent by the big housekeeper to do some miscellaneous work, and I couldn't say how brisk I was.
