In the next few days, Lin Wan, who had small arms and legs, seemed to be trying to prove herself, and really began to find something to do in the temple by herself.

Although she really can't help much now, she can always find something within her power to help sweep the floor and pick vegetables.

When there is really nothing to do, I will sit alone in the back mountain and quietly watch the bustling flow of people at the bottom of the mountain.

This kind of Lin Wan made everyone in the temple feel very distressed.

Wutong was even more free, so he took Lin Wan's hand to visit the temple fair, and used the only copper money on his body to buy some small things to make Lin Wan happy.

The temple fair makes Daqing Mountain more lively than the New Year.

In addition to the pilgrims who come to Chongfu Temple to worship incense, more people are nearby.

They either bring the output of their own fields or bring handicrafts to the temple fair, just to take the opportunity to add some income to their families.

The Ye family, who was bumped into by Wutong that day, was one of them.

The Ye family turned out to be not from Qingzhou Mansion, but a refugee who fled from Shu to Qingzhou Mansion five years ago.

Five years ago, a land movement destroyed hundreds of people's families in Shudi.

Ye Damin originally had three brothers, Ye Damin was the eldest, and the other two younger brothers separated after they got married.

The house of the two younger brothers was directly covered by the mudslide caused by the earth because it was just under the hillside, and all two families were killed.

Because Ye Damin's family was far away from the mountain, the family was fortunate to escape with their lives, but the family's property and fields were not spared from being completely buried in the mudslide.

In order for the family to continue to live, Ye Damin and Father Ye decided to flee from Shu after some discussion.

With a little softness that Ye Damin and Father Ye sacrificed their lives to dig out of the mud, the family left Shu and went all the way north, and the hardships could not be expressed in words.

In the end, with the help of Master Huineng, when the only remaining pair of golden lilacs was lost, he bought a piece of hillside land and finally settled in Hongfeng Village.

In that escape, Ye Damin and his wife lost their daughter Ye Tian who had a dragon and phoenix fetus with the second eldest Ye Zhan.

Since the Ye family settled in Hongfeng Village, Ye Damin and his wife Wu would always bring handmade products from the ground to the temple fair at the foot of Daqing Mountain for the half month of the temple fair in April every year.

Although the income is not much every time, it is also a benefit in the Ye family, and there will be unexpected gains every time, and gradually the life is living again.

This year, the family also made plans and arrangements early, but the temple fair was nearly halfway through, but the Ye family never made it to the temple fair.

The reason is Ye Shen, Ye Damin's youngest son.

One day at the end of March, four-year-old Ye Shen accidentally fell into the water while playing, although he was saved in time, he was frightened and cold, and he suddenly had a convulsion in the middle of the night.

On the seventh day of the first month, seeing that Ye Shen's fever finally subsided, the people were also much more energetic, and the whole family was relieved.

Before going to bed, the family sat in the hall and chatted, thinking of the deflated purse at home, the debts owed outside and the grain that had bottomed out, and the Ye family's grandmother Chen mentioned the matter of rushing to the temple fair.

As the head of the family, Father Ye glanced at his wife, put the wooden pole and cigarette gun in his hand to his mouth with drooping eyelids, and smacked it for a long time before he raised his eyelids and looked at his son Ye Damin and asked, "It's really time to go to the temple, what things do you plan to bring tomorrow?" ”

Ye Damin looked up at his father, just at the cigarette stick and the shriveled cigarette pouch in Daddy Ye's hand, his eyes were dyed with a thick sense of guilt, thinking of the difficulties at home, his heart moved slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he said: "Bamboo and rattan embroidery are to be brought, and I want to pick more fruits to bring ...... Well, just pick the fruit of the two cherry trees in the backyard. Dad, do you think this will be done? ”

"It's okay, although the trees in the field have grown a lot of fruit this year, but they are not as good as the two trees in the backyard, and they will have a good start tomorrow." Father Ye paused for a moment, and then put the cigarette gun in his mouth and smacked it.

There is no tobacco in the smoking gun, so naturally there can be no smoke, and Daddy Ye is just a mouthful.

Ye Damin's eyes flashed with guilt again, Daddy Ye's lifelong hobby was to occasionally smoke dry tobacco, for Ye Shen's illness, Daddy Ye gave the only remaining bit of tobacco to the barefoot doctor who had the same hobby as him.

Ye Damin's big hand on his lap tightened involuntarily, and his heart was even more determined in his temporary decision.

Some fruit trees were planted in the Ye family's yard and in the ground, among which cherry trees were the majority.

The two cherry trees in the backyard are Daddy Ye's masterpieces, and Daddy Ye has put a lot of thought into these two cherry trees.

It's cherry ripening season, and the two cherry trees in the backyard are so big and watery that they should sell for a good price.

"Tomorrow coincides with the birthday of the Buddha, and it has always been the day with the most people in the temple fair, so let Brother Zhan go with you, how much can help." After being silent for a moment, Father Ye said again.

Brother Zhan is Ye Zhan, Ye Damin's second son, ten years old this year, a lively, cheerful and clever teenager, he was whispering something to his brother Ye Qing at this time, and suddenly heard Ye Dad's mention that he hurriedly stopped and sat upright.

When he understood that he could follow his father and mother to the temple fair tomorrow, his eyebrows suddenly danced again.

"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Suddenly, a childish voice sounded, and it was a boy about four years old who spoke, it was Ye Shen, Ye Damin's youngest son.

Because he had just had a serious illness, his face looked a little pale, but his spirit was not bad, and a pair of eyes flashed with longing to look at Father Ye and Ye Damin.

"No, your body is better, but you can't be affected by the cold anymore. Milk's good grandson, listen to milk, let's not go this time. When you're completely well, the milk will take you alone! The Ye family's grandmother Chen hugged her little grandson who was fluttering in her arms and vetoed it very resolutely.

Ye Shen pursed his lips and twisted his head to avoid the decoction sent to his mouth by his mother Wu, pouted, and looked at Chen with a pair of wet eyes: "Grandma also said yesterday that as long as I no longer have a fever, she will take me to Chongfu Temple to make a vow." I don't have a fever today, and Grandpa An said that I'm already well, why can't I go tomorrow? ”

As he spoke, crystal tears fell one after another.

"Ouch, milk's good grandson, don't cry, don't cry" Chen couldn't see his little grandson shed tears, and hurriedly coaxed and persuaded and promised: "Is this good, let's look at it for another day to make sure that the good grandson no longer has a fever and cough, and the day after tomorrow will ...... The day after tomorrow, the milk will take you personally, and then the milk will buy you your favorite sugar gourd. ”

It's just that Ye Shen, who loved sugar the most in the past, resisted the temptation from the sugar gourd today and insisted on going to the temple fair.

Father Ye is also a person who loves his younger generations, and he naturally hurts Ye Shen, the youngest grandson, to the bone on weekdays, and at this time, seeing that the tears of the little grandson are falling like pearls with broken threads, he reached out and hugged Ye Shen from his wife's arms and patiently persuaded him.

Ye Shen, who is usually sensible and obedient, is not coaxed today, no matter how he coaxes, he can't be coaxed, although he collected his tears, he stubbornly muttered that he wanted to go to the temple fair with him, as if something bad would happen if he didn't follow, and finally Father Ye made a decision as soon as his heart softened, looked at Chen and said, "What did Lao An say today?" ”

Lao An is the barefoot doctor in the village, and this time Ye Shen was treated by this doctor An.

As soon as Chen heard Daddy Ye's words, he knew that he was soft-hearted, and couldn't help but glance at his wife, but he truthfully repeated Dr. An's diagnosis in his mouth.

"In this case, tomorrow you can take Brother Shen to the temple to make a wish." Daddy Ye made the final decision.

A few days ago, Ye Shen had a high fever and did not know who was going away, and he was about to die, so Chen specially went to Chongfu Temple to pray for the blessing of the gods.

Chen glanced at his wife again, and secretly sighed in his heart, but he didn't refute his wife's meaning.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ye Shen immediately smiled, reached out and took the bowl containing the decoction in Wu's hand and drank it all.

Everyone in the Ye family knew that Ye Shen was most afraid of drinking medicine, and when they saw him so "bold", they were all dumbfounded, and almost dropped their jaws.
