Chapter 2 Friendship

"This Muyun Mountain is really dangerous, you must not go to Yunding, if something happens to you again, how will your mother live?" Two years ago, she cried blindly, if something happened to him again, Jiang Qi was afraid that he would not be able to live.

"I won't go up there, mother, don't cry, drink soup."

Yunding is definitely going to go, Jiang Heng has been looking for a medicine in the past two years, and a traveling doctor once looked at Jiang Qi's eyes and prescribed a prescription. It is said that as long as you find the herbs on the recipe, knead the juice, and apply it for seven days, you can be cured. Most of the medicinal materials on the recipe are ordinary, just the main medicine - Chongming flower is very rare, and the doctor said that he has traveled all over the world for 30 years, and he has never seen it until now.

Chongming flowers have no leaves, flower buds and flower stems are the same color, similar to human eyes, like a grass root when not flowering, and cannot be seen at all if you are not careful. In addition, the growing environment is uncertain, and it only blooms under the first rays of sunlight in the morning, and the flowering period is also short, and the flowers will dissolve in the mud after two hours. I heard that someone found it in Muyun Mountain decades ago and was bought by someone for 10,000 gold, but there has been no news in recent years.

Muyun Mountain is named Muyun because of the white mist on the mountain all day long, and it is called Yunding up to 200 zhang, connecting heaven and earth, and no one knows how high it is. Yunding has always been a forbidden place, it is not a place that a person can go, Muyun Village has been following the ancient precept for more than a hundred years, and he does not dare to cross that boundary, and there is no return for those who are bold. Jiang Heng has been looking for Chongming for two years, and he has searched all the places he can go under the clouds, and now he can only try his luck on the clouds.

Jiang Qi's family listened to his son's promise, and relaxed a little: "Tomorrow should be a fair, you take some silver taels to make two winter clothes, the clothes are the year before last, you should have grown a lot in the past two years, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear it." Saying that, he was sad from the bottom of his heart, he had been blind for two years, and he couldn't even do the sewing, so he asked a child to take care of things.

"The child will go tomorrow, you quickly put away your tears, or this chicken soup will be salty in a while."

"You kid" Jiang Qishi smiled, every time he was unhappy, this kid came to this set, he has always been a good coaxer.

Jiang Heng felt that his mother was thinking too much, and looking at his current size, there was no difference from two years ago. The clothes were made by my mother the year before last, and now I wear them on my body in addition to being washed and colorless, but they also fit perfectly. But it's time to go to the market tomorrow, after all, it's about to be winter, and when the snow covers the mountains, it's inconvenient to do anything.

After serving Jiang Qi's family and having breakfast, Jiang Heng went to the backyard again.

The backyard was opened in the second year of my visit, half as a barn and half as a vegetable garden. Now the vegetable garden is deserted, and Jiang Qi used to take care of it, but she has not been able to take care of it since she had bad eyes two years ago. Jiang Heng has never known this, but this chicken is very well raised, just throw away some food for three meals a day. The dozen or so chickens that were fed half a year ago are now left with three eggs left, so they have to be taken care of.

"Heng'er, come here." The person who came stood by the fence of the vegetable garden with a huge burden on his shoulder, shouted in a low voice, and waved his hand at Jiang Heng.

"Aunt Chunhua, come in and sit in the house, why did you come here early in the morning today, it's hard to walk in the rain"

"I'm not going in, I'll bring you something." As he spoke, he stuffed the burden in his hand into Jiang Heng's hand, and said, "Your mother and yours have it, a few clothes are worthless, don't push me back." ”

"This is too troublesome for you, just now my mother asked me to buy two winter clothes in the set tomorrow, she can't see what I look like now, how can I buy it." Jiang Heng was holding the burden, heavy, thinking that he had used a lot of good cotton. Except for his own mother, no one has been so kind to him.

Seeing Jiang Heng's red eyes, Liu Chunhua's nose was also sour, but she also said nonchalantly: "You also know that your eldest uncle is gone, and I am idle alone, so I should pass the time by doing these things." But you, how are you spending this winter? Going up the mountain again in search of food? ”

Jiang Heng nodded and looked at the only three chickens left, isn't there no way.

Following Jiang Heng's gaze, Liu Chunhua also saw the three chickens, and her heart was furious, "Zhu Hongxia, an insatiable fat idiot, has bullied your orphans and widows to such an extent, how many have she stolen?" No, I have to tell the village chief about this and clean up the fat woman. ”

"Auntie, no, just let her feed me, ten chickens can save a lot of food." Raising chickens, where to raise them is not to raise them, anyway, they all have to go into their own stomachs in the end, Jiang Heng is actually a little grateful to Aunt Zhu.

"You went to her house last night?"

Jiang Heng smacked his lips, "Well, the meat is hungry, and the chicken is fat." ”

Liu Chunhua nodded Jiang Heng's brain very helplessly, "You, you, I'm not afraid that she will chop off your claws." ”

"Don't worry, I'm running so fast that I can't even catch her by the tail." It's not Jiang Heng who is talking big, Second Aunt Zhu's figure really can't beat him.

"Next time, I'll ask my aunt to help you look out for the wind, and the mother-in-law has a fight with me today." Liu Chunhua secretly clenched her fists, the next time the fat woman came to the door again, she would definitely put black beans and play a good game with her.

"I'll go back first, you can try to see if the clothes fit, and I'll change them if they don't fit." After walking two steps, he turned back and said: "Buy more live chickens to feed these days, there are few wild things in winter, don't be so hungry that you don't even have a personal shape in two months." ”

"Got it, you walk slowly, the road is slippery."

Looking at Aunt Chunhua going farther and farther, Jiang Heng wiped the tears on his face, there are people in this world who care about him, even if he is not related by blood, even if he is an alien......

Open the burden sent by Aunt Chunhua, and there is a set of light cyan jackets on the surface, which should be for the mother.

Jiang Heng took the clothes and asked the Jiang Qi clan to change them, although the Jiang Qi clan couldn't see it, he could also feel how attentive the person who made the clothes was. The stitches are fine and the fine cotton is used to make it soft and warm to wear. Jiang Qi changed his clothes and folded them neatly, and then called Jiang Heng into the room.

"It must have been sent by your Aunt Chunhua, your eldest uncle is gone, and she is now alone, not even a child. If she is in trouble, you should try your best to help her, and don't let people bully her. ”

Two years ago, the flood in Shangyang County, the upper authorities ordered to be conscripted for labor to repair the river embankment, and all those who were over ten years old and less than forty were not disabled to serve, and now there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in Muyun Village.

Liu Chunhua's husband Qiu Changgui is a mute, loyal and honest, and does some carpentry to support his family on weekdays. Originally, when the recruitment was made, there was no need to go again, but later because Zhu Hongxia made a big fuss about the recruitment, saying that the dumb person still has hands and feet to work? If Qiu Changgui doesn't have to go, then her Erzhu and Bao'er don't have to go.

The village chief saw that many people were taking advantage of the situation to coax, and he had no choice but to add Qiu Changgui's name.

This was nothing, but I didn't expect that it was only half a month after I arrived at Shangyang River, and the heavy rain fell again. Several people who were still on the river embankment at that time were washed down, including Zhu Bao'er, the son of Aunt Zhu. Qiu Changgui jumped into the water without hesitation, rescued people ashore, but was washed away by the water, and the two families became enemies.
