Chapter 564: Close Relatives
There was a girl named Ji Cuihua, who died of illness when she was seven years old.
She is the eldest daughter, and there are three younger brothers in the family, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, and her father sprained his waist while working.
The father is the pillar of the family, he can't work, his source of income is cut off, and the family can only eat chaff vegetables, and they can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes and warmth.
Cuihua saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and wanted to share her father's worries and solve problems. Why, I am young and have nothing to do, so I don't know where to start.
One day, Cuihua came to her father, hesitated for a long time, and said to her father: "Daddy, our family has nothing to eat now." Brothers are still young, why don't you sell me and exchange some shellfish coins to solve your urgent needs?"
When the old father heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
At that time, there were many poor families who sold their sons and daughters, or those who changed their children for food. Usually these people can't survive, if there is still a little room for maneuver, which parent is willing to sell their children?
The father and daughter hugged their heads and cried, it was already like this, what else could it do?
Cuihua stuck a piece of grass on her head, and finally sold herself and handed over the money to her father.
Since then, Cuihua has followed the merchant away, and since then, the father and daughter have been separated, and I don't know when and when they can see each other again.
In other words, Cuihua is twenty-eight years old, lacks clothes and wears less on weekdays, and her face is yellow and thin.
After following the merchant, she had plenty of food and clothing, and it didn't take long for her to become a beautiful girl.
Although she has no worries about food and clothing, Cuihua misses her father and is depressed all day long, and has the idea of escaping.
One day, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and Cuihua took advantage of the unpreparedness and escaped from the mansion. She kept running, I don't know how long, and when she got tired of running, she walked forward. She wanted to escape from the land of right and wrong, and she wanted to go home.
Finally, Cuihua came to a ruined temple.
The temple is dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and the clay sculptures of the statues are crooked.
Strange to say, the temple was brightly lit, and there were some tributes and food on the table.
I don't know if it was put down by those devout believers, how can Cuihua care so much. She was so hungry that she picked up what she had eaten, put it in her mouth, and ate it to her heart's content.
After eating and drinking, Cuihua lay on the ground and fell asleep.
Strangely, Cuihua had a very strange dream, dreaming of a black dragon falling from the sky, and then turning into a handsome young man, they fell in love with each other, hugged each other and slept together.
When she woke up, Cuihua felt hot in her belly, and she didn't take it to heart.
After a few days, she felt bad and started vomiting, her belly was getting bigger day by day, and Cuihua felt bad and knew that she was pregnant.
However, she is still a yellow flower girl, how can she get pregnant? Could it be that what happened that night is true?
At that time, Cuihua was conservative, and Cuihua did not dare to go home, for fear of causing trouble to her father, so she came to a small hill and lived by eating wild vegetables.
Three years later, she gave birth to a big fat boy. This child is very strange, born to speak, claiming to be the son of a dragon.
Cuihua immediately covered her son's mouth and told him not to talk nonsense, so as not to anger the heavens and offend the gods.
One day, it rained heavily, and the child looked serious and said to Cuihua: "Mother, the child was originally an immortal in the sky, but because he violated the rules of heaven, he was demoted to the mortal. Now that my sins have been atoned for, it is time for me to return to my roots. ”
After that, it was dark, lightning and thunder roared, and the child turned into a black dragon and rushed into the sky.
Cuihua was a little reluctant and cried into the cave.
Crying and crying, she fell asleep and woke up to find herself back in her hometown.
At this time, the situation of the family has improved, the father's illness has also improved, the younger brothers have grown up, and the family is reunited.
There is an old man Huang in Niutou Village, he lost his wife at an early age, and his three sons were raised by him and raised by him.
When it was the third child's turn to talk about marriage, Huang Laohan's health was not as good as day by day, and he had more than enough strength but not enough strength, but the third child never complained, but always took care of his father who had been sick in bed at home, but the eldest and second child were always busy making money as a reason, and rarely came to see their father.
A neighbor sarcastically said: "Huang Laosan, take care of your father all day long, you don't have to earn any money, you can't marry a daughter-in-law if you don't have money!"
For this, the third laughed and said, although he was helpless in his heart, but the brothers did not take care of their father, only themselves.
As for lifelong events, I can only wait until my father is 100 years old before making plans.
Two years later, Huang Laohan died, and in order to save money, the eldest chose a cemetery for his father to bury, which Mr. Feng Shui found incredible.
A few years later, due to the construction of canals and reservoirs in the village, the old man's graveyard was almost flooded.
One day when he was sweeping the tomb, the third child discovered the situation when he went to his father's grave, and quickly found the feng shui gentleman in the village.
"Uncle Jiang, it won't be long before my father's grave will be flooded, how is this good?" asked the third child.
Mr. Feng Shui sighed and said, "I mentioned this to your eldest brother, but he said that people have been dead for a few years, and they may not even have bones, so they will be drowned." ”
"That's not good, this is my father's final destination, he has worked hard all his life, and he can't have a happy place after death, and he feels ashamed to be a son." ”
The third child was still worried about his father in his heart, and when Mr. Feng Shui heard this, he nodded again and again.
"If your two brothers are like you, Lao Huang Zaitian's Spirit will also feel gratified. In this case, I will choose an auspicious day, open the coffin and move the burial, and then you will have to take out your father's bones yourself, and if you can't afford to hire someone, you can dig it yourself. After Mr. Feng Shui finished speaking, the third child agreed.
Seven days later, under the advice of Mr. Feng Shui, the third person came to his father's grave, burned the money to worship, and then began to break ground. Digging until the afternoon, the third child was already too tired to do anything, and after resting for a while, he continued to dig with a hoe.
At this time, with the sound of "bell", Lao Sanyi dug on something very hard with his hoe, and he dug the soil with his hands, revealing a burden.
The third child took a closer look and exclaimed, "This ...... It's all shellfish?"
"Third child, how are you digging?" Mr. Feng Shui came.
"Uncle Jiang, look, look, I didn't expect to dig up a burden of shell coins. The third child said happily.
"Providence, it seems that this is filial piety touching the sky, it is time for your kid to make a fortune, now you can find a piece of feng shui treasure land for your father and bury it well." Mr. Feng Shui immediately turned around and went back to the village.
With 500 shell coins, Huang Laosan suddenly became the richest person in the village, not only for his father to be buried in a feng shui treasure, but also many matchmakers came to the door to kiss, but the third knew in his heart that the people who came on a blind date at this time were nothing more than for money.
After the eldest and second children found out, they felt remorseful in their hearts and often borrowed money from the third child.
In the end, after the third brother gave each of his two brothers 100 shell coins, he left Niutou Village and went to the city to start a business, and he was in love with the helper girl Manxiang in the store, and became a young couple for three years, and lived happily and comfortably.
In the mountains, there are many valleys that have been untouched for many years, and these deep mountains and valleys are full of exotic flowers and plants, and all kinds of rare fruits are rare outside the valley, and because they are pure nature.
The nutritional value of these exotic flowers and herbs is not comparable to those artificially cultivated outside the valley, so these prices are naturally high, and if anyone can pick them, the profits are extremely rich.
It is precisely because of the wild mushroom produced in the mountain, which is delicious and nutritious, and because of the good reputation, the mushrooms on the nearby mountain are all collected by the surrounding people.
The mushroom collector is very dark, as long as it is a fungus, no matter how big or small, it will be included in the basket, and within a few years, the nearby mountains will be picked, and they can only go deep into the mountains to those inaccessible valleys to find it.
Gradually, there are fewer and fewer fungi in the deep mountains, and many people often go to the mountains for a few days, but can only return empty-handed.
Interested people have also mastered the artificial cultivation of this fungus through research, but the taste is 108,000 miles away from wild mushrooms, and people who know the goods still favor wild ones.
Where there is a demand, there is a market, so the people in the villages at the foot of the mountain make a career of collecting this wild mushroom in their spare time.
There is a family in the village, the owner Teng Dashan, a man in his forties.
Teng Dashan and his wife have raised three children, the eldest has gone out to the Western Order, and the two younger ones are also studying the Eastern Order, which is the time to spend money.
Raising such three children, the pressure can be imagined, so Teng Dashan tried every means to make money, and mushroom picking is naturally one of the ways to make money, and it is a very profitable way, ranking first among all Teng Dashan's money-making doorways.
This year's farming, and when it was time to collect fungi, the people in the village went into the mountains to collect fungi one after another.
Teng Dashan also packed up and prepared to enter the mountain. Anyway, there was nothing to do at home, so he discussed with his wife that this time he would go in for a longer time and go farther away, so that he could collect mushrooms and come back.
So he prepared a lot of things, water and dry food were indispensable, and he also brought wine and bacon.
Teng Dashan is a good wine, he has to drink two glasses every day, and his wife also knows men's hobbies, so she prepares more. I also brought a coat and a straw mat in case it rained in the mountains.
Teng Dashan waved goodbye to his wife and walked towards the mountains with hope.
Over the course of a few days, he could find traces left by the mushroom pickers in the valleys he visited, and these traces either meant that the place was sterile or that the mushrooms had been picked up. After seeing too many of these traces, Teng Dashan was a little discouraged.
In the afternoon of this day, Teng Dashan, who was running with a sore back and legs, stopped at the mouth of another valley and wanted to take a breath and rest for a while.
As soon as I sat down, I found that the grass around me looked like it had been stepped on, and it seemed that there were people in this valley who came first, and there was no need to enter the valley again.
