Chapter 3: Ten Years

In the mountains and wilderness, there are birds chirping, there are insects, there is a slight smell of earth in the air, the Taoist priest is not a taste in his heart, Zhang Zhengcai and his wife are just ordinary people, and finally have a child but can only live with them until they are ten years old, which is very uncomfortable for any pair of parents.

The Taoist priest remembered what his master with divination ability said to himself before the immortal died: "The one you are destined to be born in these years, this is your fate, and it is also your fate, you go down the mountain to the southeast to find, accept this fate, but your fate!" When the Taoist priest was still immersed in his memories, Zhang Zhengcai's voice came from behind him, and Zhang Zhengcai was holding Chen Yan's hand and walked over.

"Dao Chief, I still have a few questions for you."

"Ask! Whatever I know, what I can say, I will tell you. ”

"When our child is ten years old, where will you take him?"

"I will take him to where I live, I will teach him everything I can, I will teach him life knowledge, and I will teach him what is taught in school."

"After that kid is ten years old, we really can't see him again in our lives?"

"Yes, every year for the New Year, I will bring him back, but only Chinese New Year's Eve and the first and second days of the new year, not more."

"Dao Chief, I'm a rough person, let's be honest, after listening to you say these things, I really want to scold God, why do these things fall on our heads, Xiao Yan and I just want to live a plain life, I would rather not have this so-called blessing, but what has happened in the past few days I have to admit the word fate, I only hope that Dao Chang can teach my child carefully and take good care of him." When Zhang Zhengcai said this, Chen Yan held Zhang Zhengcai's hand tightly on the side, his eyes full of worry.....

"Please rest assured that you husband and wife will teach him well, although you can't see the child a few times a year, but I will send him over every year."

When Zhang Zhengcai and his wife heard this, their faces were much less worried. "I know, Michijo. I'm fine! Zhang Zhengcai's tone was a little more cheerful when he said this, and he didn't want to be as heavy as before.

The Taoist priest looked at their faces, smiled slightly, turned over his hand and took out the box and said, "When your heir is born, remember to hang this jade plaque for him, and remember not to take it off at any time." With that, the Taoist priest handed the box to Zhang Zhengcai.

Zhang Zhengcai took the box, and when he found that the box was very heavy, he felt that it was a piece of solid iron, but it felt like wood, and it was a little warm in his hand.

"Dao Chief, how can this box be so strange?" Zhang Zhengcai asked incredulously.

"I don't know exactly what this box is."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhengcai was not entangled in this box, he just wanted to open the box to see, only to remember that he didn't know how to open the box, he had seen that the Taoist had clicked on the box several times before opening it.

"Dao Chief, how should this box be opened?" Zhang Zhengcai asked embarrassedly.

"How to open an ordinary box, how to open it, this box is more complicated to open for the first time, and it will not be so troublesome later."

After Zhang Zhengcai said "oh", he opened the box and found that the jade plaque was lying quietly inside, with a red rope strung on it, which seemed to be worn by a Taoist priest.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest said: "I have said everything that should be said, I should also leave, and when your child is ten years old, I will come to you and say goodbye!" After that, he arched his hand to Zhang Zhengcai and his wife, and did not give them a chance to stay, and turned to leave.

Zhang Zhengcai and Chen Yan watched the Taoist priest leave their sight, the two of them returned to their house, and when they walked into the room where the Taoist priest lived in the past few days, they found that there was a stack of banknotes on the quilt in the room, and it was roughly estimated that there were two or three thousand, which was already a lot of money at that time.

Zhang Zhengcai and Chen Yan both knew in their hearts that this money was left by the Taoist priest, and the family conditions of Zhang Zhengcai and his wife themselves were not very good, plus they borrowed a lot of money to ask relatives and friends for Chen Yan's medical treatment, and this money was undoubtedly life-saving money for them.

"How much more do we owe you? Michigan! Zhang Zhengcai thought to himself with the money.

When they arrived here, Zhang Zhengcai and Chen Yan found out that they still didn't know what the Taoist priest's name was.........

Time always passes very quickly when you are not noticing, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.

On the bank of the river at the entrance of the village, there are 3 little children who have stripped off their clothes and are about to go down to the river to touch the river, among them is a little thin child with a jade plate the size of a fingernail, and the red line on the jade plate is a little white because of time.

"Hey, rabbit! What do you want, come down, the big tigers have already started to touch the river mussels! I saw a long, thin child speak.

"Got it, Erniu, I'm here!"

This person who is called "rabbit" by Erniu is the child of Zhang Zhengcai and Chen Yan, whose name is Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi is unhappy every time he hears people call him "rabbit", and I don't know why my parents want to give him such a name, how to come up with such an elegant name, because the word "Yi" also has a rabbit in it, and now the friends in the village like to call him rabbit.

Zhang Yi also asked why his parents gave him this name? His mother said to Zhang Yi: "I hope you can be free and do what you want when you grow up!" "For Zhang Yi, who is only a few years old, he has never understood what freedom means, he should go to school every day, eat when he should eat, sleep when he should sleep, catch frogs in the field when he is resting, fish for lobsters, and touch the river in the river.

Anyway, I have a jade card hanging around my neck, it seems that I have not taken it off since I can remember, my parents have been telling me not to take it off, this jade card gives me the feeling as if it is a part of my body, I don't know if it is the problem of this jade card or my own blood is not attractive to mosquitoes, since I can remember, it seems that I have hardly been bitten by mosquitoes, and I have not been sick a few times, I look very thin but sports are still very good. Zhang Yizheng was thinking about things while touching the jade card.

"Rabbit, you bean, what the hell are you thinking, hurry down, the snails and mussels here are almost touched by the big tiger!" Erniu roared across the river, interrupting Zhang Yi's musings.

"Coming, coming, coming!" Zhang Yi said as he went down the river. When Zhang Yi swam to the other side of the river, he saw that there were a lot of fresh river foods on the river, in addition to silk snails and mussels, there were also some river shrimp and river crabs the size of children's fists.

At this time, a long white and chubby little fat man said: "Rabbit, you just came, this place is almost finished by me and Erniu!" Let's change the place and touch it! ”

At this time, Er Niu stared at Zhang Yi's jade card and said cheaply as he walked in: "Rabbit, I see you touching the jade card on the riverbank over there, are you a little girl?" As soon as the words fell, Er Niu's hand swept a white wave in the water, planning to steal peaches for Zhang Yi in the water. Zhang Yi quickly grabbed Erniu's thief hand and pulled it into his arms, Erniu suddenly stumbled, and then Zhang Yi's other hand grabbed Erniu's head and pressed him directly into the water.

Sample, this trick monkey stealing peaches, you have used it a hundred times, but also ninety-nine times, and you still want to yin me, you rabbit brother... Bah!!! Is your brother's peach a casual steal? Give me some water!!

The second ox fluttered in the river, bringing a large wave of water to the big tiger, and then the big tiger also joined the battle. Three bare-ass kids are playing around in the river.

The three of them were playing in the river, the sun was going down soon, Zhang Yi looked at the sky and said to Erniu and Dahu: "It's almost time, it's time to go home for dinner, let's play together tomorrow!" ”

Erniu and Dahu nodded one after another, picked a few large taro leaves from the shore, wrapped the river fresh they touched, and then the three of them swam back to the opposite bank, and when they got ashore, they didn't care whether they were wet or not, and they just picked up their clothes and put them on their bodies.

When the big tiger was getting dressed next to Zhang Yi, he somehow slipped under his feet, fell on Zhang Yi's body, and grabbed Zhang Yi's jade card in a hurry and ripped it off.

Zhang Yi's eyes stared at the jade plate that was torn off by the big tiger, and he felt a chaos in his mind. Then there was a sudden blood red in front of my eyes, and I felt something warm in my eyes, ears, and nose, and then I fell headlong.
