Chapter 1: Years in the Mountains
In the early morning after the new rain on the empty mountain, an old man dressed plainly rang the bronze bell in front of the temple on the top of the mountain, which was very simple, and it looked like no one had come to worship for a long time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After ringing the bell, the old man returned to the temple, where he had been living the life of the evening drum and morning bell since he told his son everything more than ten years ago.
More than ten years ago, the patriarch of the Qin family lived in a small village in a remote mountainous area with more than a dozen people, living a life of wilderness ginseng hunting all year round. Until one day, the village took in a war criminal who had defected here, and the patriarch tried his best to persuade the village steward to exile this person, because he would bring great disasters to the village, but he was isolated from the outside world all the year round, and the people in the village showed extreme enthusiasm when they saw outsiders, and finally had no choice but to move the clan. At that time, the patriarch in office was named Qin Yulin, and he had a son under his knees, named Qin Cang. At that time, Qin Cang was only a teenager, and he didn't even understand why they had moved out of the village where they had lived for a long time.
The family members who moved out had basically scattered to various places to make a living, until Qin Cang was twenty-five years old, and his father told him everything.
In today's society, there are a lot of ginseng, but most of them are cultivated at home, although they also have a certain amount of nutrition, but they have lost the meaning of ginseng. Wild ginseng grows in the barren mountains and mountains all the year round, in the uninhabited land, absorbing the spirit of the earth, which has considerable value, so there is such a person in the world, specializing in hunting these ginseng. The Qin family is like this, so they choose to live in a remote village, for convenience. But this industry is not so simple, first of all, one of the major prerequisites for hunting ginseng is that it must be grown to a certain number of years, otherwise it is useless to take it. But once the adult ginseng, it is extremely difficult to catch, they are very spiritual, and their whereabouts will become erratic, and there are still many taboos in the deep mountains and old forests, once accidentally touched, I am afraid that my life will be lost in the barren mountains and mountains.
There is an unwritten rule that the people involved in it are not allowed to have the life of ordinary people, which means that they cannot integrate into the society, which is also an important reason why Qin Yulin will choose to go to the temple hermit on the top of the plough mountain after he teaches his skills to his son Qin Cang. At that time, Qin Cang was very dissatisfied with this kind of rule, and wanted to break free from the shackles of fate, so he resolutely gave up the ginseng fishing industry and wanted to live the life he wanted to live again, but later the facts gave him a heavy blow. When Qin Cang left his father to express his desire to fight for his own destiny, his father Qin Yulin had already expected that he would one day understand the importance of this rule. And told Qin Cang that when he was thirty years old, he would come to the mountaintop temple to find himself, because there were still some things that he needed to know.
Now that the appointment of thirty years old has arrived, Qin Yulin sat on the chair in front of the temple, looking down the mountain, and the past scenes came to mind, he remembered all kinds of experiences when he was young, and also remembered Qin Cang's mother, who died in a hurry. If there was a way, he would definitely not let Qin Cang live this life, but the mission has not yet been completed, and the responsibility still exists. He knew very well that Qin Cang would definitely come today.
At the top of the mountain, a gorgeous seven-colored rainbow spans the sky, this mountain is rarely set foot in, only because the terrain is relatively harsh, extremely difficult to climb, so it is only listed as a primitive mountain range by the state. The mountain road itself is rugged and bumpy, and after a few days of continuous rain, it becomes more muddy. However, there is a figure walking in the mountains, this person is Qin Cang, and this time he climbed the top of this ploughshare mountain to go to the appointment of thirty years old. The tragic facts completely shattered Qin Cang's idea of changing his fate, and he wanted to know what all this was for, so he went here to find his father on his thirtieth birthday today. Although the terrain of this ploughshare mountain is steep, he has been to his father many times before, but he doesn't have to worry about not being able to climb it.
As the upward distance gradually shortened, Qin Cang's heart rippled a lot, the last time he saw his father was a few years ago, I don't know how he is now, he was also angry at that time, and complained that his father had arranged such a life for himself, until that incident happened, Qin Cang realized that maybe everything in the dark had already been determined. In fact, just after the bronze bell rang on the top of the mountain, Qin Cang already knew that his father was waiting for him above, and this result seemed to have been expected by his father, otherwise he would not have met here today when he was about thirty years old when he was young and vigorous.
A few hours have passed, Qin Cangzhou's body has been wet with the low rain on the leaves, and the steep distance often falls, so now Qin Cang looks embarrassed, but fortunately, the appearance of the top of the mountain not far ahead appeared in sight, Qin Cang couldn't help but speed up his pace, he wanted to see his father immediately, no matter what kind of resentment he had, after all, the only relative he had in the world was his father.
Then, without surprise, when Qin Cang appeared on the top of the mountain, Qin Yulin stood in front of the temple to greet his arrival. At the first glance of his father, Qin Cang was stunned, and at the same time realized that his father's resolute appearance in the past had completely disappeared, and in just a few years, he had aged so much. After thinking about it, Qin Cang ran towards his father and hugged him directly.
"I'm sorry, Dad, but it took me so long to come and see you."
Qin Yulin smiled and didn't make a sound.
The father and son, who had not seen each other for a long time, entered the temple, and as soon as they sat down, Qin Yulin said directly.
"I didn't expect that in a few years, you have grown a lot, presumably, it has not been easy for you to live these years, hey, the years in the mountains are easy, the world has been prosperous for thousands of years, this sentence I only have a deep understanding now."
"How have you lived all these years?"
Qin Cang asked his biggest question, if he was allowed to stay in a dilapidated temple that no one cared about at all, I am afraid that in a few months, he would be suffocated, and he really couldn't imagine how his father lived.
"I planted a lot of food in the back, and rang the bell every morning, although the days were dull, but also comfortable, although I don't want to talk about this, but I have to say it, I think after a few years of accession to the WTO, you should understand, the rules of this industry, what is going on."
