Chapter 118: Professor Zhou's Story
Seeing the back of Zhou Lao's rapid departure, I was puzzled for a while, didn't he know how Yu Lei died? Isn't he going to die?
At this time, Yi Bufan on the side sighed with a bitter face: "We also persuaded Professor Zhou, but ...... But he would not listen to us. Alas! ”
"This crazy old man is really looking for death!" I scolded a little angrily. But isn't it, it's clear that Yu Lei has an accident because of ginseng, but he is still thinking about what kind of research to do, what is it if he is not looking for death?
Hearing that I was angry with Old Zhou, Lin Wenjing wanted to speak and stopped, and finally squeaked and said: "Brother Chen, Professor Zhou is also very pitiful, I think the reason why he knows that the mountain god will blame, but still wants to chase the ginseng doll, must be for his wife." ”
"For his wife?" I was stunned and asked, "Does this have anything to do with his wife?" ”
Lin Wenjing then told me the story of Professor Zhou, it turned out that Professor Zhou's name was Zhou Zheng, and he said that at the beginning of liberation, Zhou Zheng was still a student in the university at that time, a handsome guy. One day, he was walking on campus, and suddenly a good-looking and square girl came in front of him. Zhou Zheng, who was simple and even a little silly at the time, didn't think about it, and stepped forward to take the initiative to talk to her.
At that time, the people were pure, defenseless, and willing to open their hearts. We chatted very happily, and after we met, Zhou Zheng took the initiative as always, and often chatted with the girl when he was fine.
However, in those days, falling in love was very subtle, generally just chatting a few words, walking one or two hundred meters and going back, and they didn't dare to hold their hands. More of their communication took place through a few letters. A slightly youthful date seems very sweet to the two, but this sweet opportunity is very luxurious, because half a year later, in response to the call, go to the mountains and go to the countryside to refine red hearts, and decentralize the grassroots to exercise.
When they were about to separate, the little lovers were reluctant to keep in touch with each other, one said that she would not marry in this life, and the other said that he would not marry.
Zhou Zheng was sent to a small village in the mountains of Hubei Province and became a young intellectual, and the two were forced to separate, with their own oaths, each on their own side.
After separation, Zhou Zhengyou wrote a letter to the girl, but the letter was returned, informing him that the other party had been transferred. Later, Zhou Zhengtuo's former classmates and relatives inquired in many ways, and they all said that they couldn't find the girl.
Later, Zhou Zheng returned to his original city and became a teacher, he has never stopped looking for the girl in his heart, but decades have passed like this, and Zhou Zheng has never found the girl he loves.
Zhou Zheng always remembered the vow the two made when they were separated, and she would not marry in this life, so Zhou Zheng has been single like this. From he was a middle school teacher to a university professor, I didn't know how many people of the opposite sex showed her favor during the period, but Zhou Zheng was unmoved, until the hurried years passed, people were old and white, he still remembered the original oath, and still missed her in his heart.
Originally, Zhou Zheng thought that he would die with regret in this life, and thought that he would never meet her again in this life, but just a few months ago, she saw a message from the newspaper that the person she was looking for was Zhou Zheng himself.
Zhou Zheng was very strange who was looking for him, but after seeing the other party's name, he was shocked, it turned out that the girl was looking for him decades ago.
After learning the news, Zhou Lao found the person who published the newspaper according to the information revealed by the missing person, and finally met the person he had been thinking about for decades.
It's just that the two of them met in a hospital, and she was lying on a hospital bed with silver hair.
She had terminal liver cancer, and her days were not long. But she still remembers the oath of decades ago, remembers her first love decades ago, and in order to be able to see Zhou Zheng again before she died, she found the newspaper and posted a missing person revelation.
It turned out that both of them had never married and the other had never married, just waiting for their "first love" for the sake of a vow they had made at the beginning.
The woman was very happy because she finally waited for Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng was also very happy, because he finally found the original girl. However, although the person was found, she had liver cancer and would soon be gone, Zhou Zheng was very sad and reluctant.
Just a few days after the two reunited after decades of separation, the two got married for the original vow and the love in their hearts, and their love touched everyone, including all the teachers and students in the school.
Speaking of this, Lin Wenjing's eyes turned red, and he raised his head and said, "Brother Chen, the reason why Professor Zhou came to Temple Mountain to find ginseng this time is to study the secret of ginseng to prolong life and prolong life, and to benefit mankind, and secondly, to save his wife, because he doesn't want to watch her die like this." I think that perhaps for Professor Zhou, his wife's life is more important than his own. ”
After listening to Professor Zhou's story, I finally understood why he knew that the mountain god master would be guilty, and he knew that maybe he would be the second Yu Lei, but he still had to chase that ginseng, because he wanted to save his wife.
At this time, I have to say that after listening to Professor Zhou's story, I was extremely moved in my heart and moved by their love. What kind of love can survive more than forty years of vicissitudes without being wiped out? What kind of love can become the last waiting of life? What kind of love can make him even risk his own life for love?
I don't know what kind of love it would be, and I can't appreciate what it's like to be in love for decades. But I can understand that when a pair of lovers who have been separated for decades before getting together for love, but after getting together, they have to face the helplessness of separation and death, it is a kind of desperate helplessness.
Suddenly, I felt that Zhou Lao admired me very much, and at the same time felt that he was very pitiful, because I understood his sadness and helplessness in the face of the death of his relatives.
"What now? Is it just watching Professor Zhou go to his death? Yifan asked me anxiously.
Yi Bufan's words finally pulled me back from my thoughts, glanced at Zhou Lao, who had already run away, and hurriedly said to them: "What else can I do, chase after me!" ”
After saying that, I chased in the direction that Zhou Lao ran......
I came to Temple Mountain to relieve the five poisons on my body, I thought that I was the only one who was the most pitiful, I thought that only I would spare my life to get ginseng, but now I understand that I am not the only one who is looking for ginseng at the cost of my life, but also Zhou Lao. Although he didn't do it to save his life, he was more admirable, so I couldn't let him have an accident, and I had to do my best to keep him safe.
Chased all the way in the direction of Zhou Lao, and finally we chased half a mile later, and then we caught up with Zhou Lao. I saw that Zhou Lao was already tired at this time, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely, and if he continued to run, he would have to faint to the ground.
When Zhou Lao saw that we were catching up, he called at us and said don't stop me, don't stop any of you, otherwise I'll be really angry.
Seeing Zhou Lao's anxious look, if you really stop him now and don't let him chase that ginseng, he will really be angry if he can't keep it.
I ignored him, because I really didn't have a reason to stop him now. In order to understand the five poisons in my body, I risked my life to find a thousand years of ginseng, and the reason why Zhou Lao chased this ginseng doll was also to save his life, but also to save his wife's life. This kind of behavior of being condemned by the mountain god for the sake of love, what reason do you think I have to stop him?
I overtook Zhou Lao in a few steps, ran in front of him, and then looked ahead, only to see that the doll in the ass was less than 100 meters in front of me.
At this time, the ginseng doll also saw us, and immediately sped up, obviously it was deliberately running slow before, playing with Zhou Lao.
Seeing that the ginseng doll was much faster, I knew that I couldn't catch up with it like this, so I was in a hurry. At this time, I suddenly remembered what Wang Quan had said before, he said that whenever ginseng was found in the ginseng picking industry, he had to shout a mallet, and the ginseng would not run away.
To be honest, I didn't believe it at all when I first heard Wang Quan say this, of course, I don't believe it now, but seeing the ginseng doll running so fast, I had no other way, so I yelled at the ginseng doll running wildly: "Stick!" ”
As soon as my voice fell, I saw that the ginseng doll that was still running forward just now was gone, yes, it was gone, it was gone......
Seeing that the ginseng doll that had been in front just now disappeared out of thin air, Zhou Lao Ke was in a hurry, rushed up in a few steps, and shouted: "Why is it gone, why is it gone all at once?" ”
I told him not to worry, and to go and have a look. Then when we ran to the place where the ginseng disappeared, everyone was stunned, only to see a tall ginseng growing in front of us, and the green seedlings were full of red ginseng fruits.
I was very surprised at the moment, and it turned out that what Wang Quan said before was really right, and this little guy really didn't run away if he called a mallet. I was a little happy in my heart, but at the same time, I was also a little worried, after all, now that I have caught this ginseng, will the mountain god lord condemn us next? None of us knows.
Zhou Lao lay on the ground, took out a red rope and tied it to the ginseng seedling path, and then began to dig it carefully with a small shovel.
This ginseng plant grew very big and had very long roots, and it took a lot of effort for Zhou Lao to dig it out entirely. I saw that this ginseng was very similar to the one Wang Cheng sold me, it also had a nose and a face, and it looked like a real doll, which made Boss Zhou cry out magically.
I asked Zhou Lao, how old is this ginseng?
Zhou Lao was very happy and excited, he held the ginseng in his hand and said that it should be three or four hundred years. Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart, is there really a thousand-year-old ginseng here? Am I really destined to live long?
