Chapter 659: Finger Picking
Back to the medicine shop, before dawn, we had another surprise harvest. The candles on the second floor of the medicine incense shop suddenly lit up two, plus the candles lit on the first day, in just half a month, there were only seven out of ten candles.
I temporarily changed my mind about going back to New Leaf Town, and decided to wait until all ten candles were lit up before going back to my grandmother. After all, Xinye Town is still thousands of kilometers away from here. There is no airport near Shaocheng, and I am afraid that there will be an accident when we leave, and we will regret it too late.
Flowers bloom and fall, spring goes to autumn, but this wait is twenty years. Twenty years have passed, and I have gone from a twenty-year-old young man to a middle-aged man in my forties, with some gray hair on my temples. During this period, my parents also came to see me in the medicine shop and asked some things about my grandmother, and my parents said that my grandmother was in good health, but she was in a deep sleep and couldn't wake up anyway. Before I knew it, my grandmother was already a hundred years old. Sometimes I was so worried that my grandmother would die in her sleep.
In the past 20 years, nine of the ten candles in the medicine shop have been lit, and these nine candles have been lit one after another in the past ten years, and I have been waiting for the tenth candle for ten years. It didn't light up until now.
No one knows how tormented it has been for me in these ten years of waiting, and I wonder every day, why is the tenth candle not lit up so quickly, is it because Huairou has had an accident?
Whenever I have this thought, Chen Jinghao will comfort me, saying that he can feel Huairou's presence, and she will be fine. I know that Chen Jinghao is just comforting me, because Chen Feng doesn't know Huairou's life or death, let alone Chen Jinghao?
Time can change a lot of things, Chen Jinghao's Taoism has grown rapidly in the past twenty years, and he has become a respected master from the hairy boy back then.
In the past 20 years, Chen Jinghao has not taken in apprentices, but has always been by my side. Several times I asked Chen Jinghao to develop his own sect, but Chen Jinghao just said that he was not by my side and he was not at ease.
It was another Sunday morning, the sky outside was extremely clear, and the peach blossoms all over the city were extraordinarily gentle.
I stood on the second floor of the medicinal incense shop, a little more mature between my eyebrows, looking at the gently flickering candle outside the coffin, I turned my head to look at Chen Jinghao, who had not changed much behind me, and said, "Mouse, it's been ten years." Huairou should be in her twenties now, right? ”
Chen Jinghao was still wearing that white dress, and he looked extraordinary at the moment, "Well, I remember when she left." Almost three years old......"
"Hehe, three years old, what were you doing when you were three years old?" I turned my head to look at Chen Jinghao and asked.
Chen Jinghao stood with his hands in his hands, walked to the windowsill, looked at the peach blossoms outside the window, and said: "When I was three years old, I was still in Chen Village at the foot of Maoshan Mountain, so I shouldn't remember anything." ”
"My daughter is three years old and on her own, facing all kinds of dangers in an unpredictable time and space." Although I was used to all this, my eyes turned slightly red at the thought that I had not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father.
Chen Jinghao said: "Oranges. Don't be sad, it's all the debt owed by Yang Minyang and Bai Yiyang, it has nothing to do with you, it's already very good that you can do this in this life......"
"Yes, I just want to do better in this life, but God won't give me a chance." I looked back at Lin Ying in the blood coffin, in the past twenty years. Lin Ying's qi and blood are getting better and better, and no one knows that there is a dead man lying in this blood-colored coffin.
"Someone is coming,......," Chen Jinghao, who was standing in front of the windowsill, said suddenly.
I was stunned for a moment, I can count the living people who have come to the medicine incense shop in the past twenty years. Everyone knows what my medicine shop does. So generally no one dares to come.
I walked to Chen Jinghao's side, looked out the window, and saw a middle-aged woman with a bridge in her hand, and a teenage boy walking towards me. The silhouette of this middle-aged woman was familiar to me, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
I watched the middle-aged woman walk straight towards my medicine shop with the little boy. Chen Jinghao and I hurriedly went downstairs and walked to the door. Looking at the middle-aged woman with the child in Duqiao in front of me, I asked strangely, "Do you have anything to do?" ”
The middle-aged woman and the little boy looked at me with thought and curiosity, and then only heard the middle-aged woman speak, "You...... Is it Ye Cheng? ”
I said "um" and said, "It's me." You ......"
"President Ye, I'm Qingqing......" The woman of the little boy of the bridge said. I thought about it for a long time in my mind, and then I gradually remembered that this girl was a female classmate I met when I was the president of the student union.
"President Ye, do you remember that you came to the school twenty years ago to ask Professor Ju to regenerate a little girl's finger?" Qingqing asked.
Hear Qingqing's reminder. I just remembered what happened 20 years ago, when I first met Qingqing, Qingqing was still a young teacher - in my eyes, the children were so old.
I exchanged a few words with Qingqing. Qingqing began to get to the point and said, "President Ye, the limb regeneration project we are studying has made great progress...... This is the finger you want......" As she spoke, Qingqing took out something wrapped in a black plastic bag from her bag and handed it to me.
I took the black plastic bag. Just as I was about to open it, Qingqing grabbed me and said, "President, there are children here, let's open it later!" ”
"It's also ......" looked at the little boy who Qingqing was pulling, took out an incense card from his pocket, bent down and brought it to the little boy, and said with a chuckle: "Little brother, this incense card has been opened." It's very valuable, don't give it to others casually, you know? ”
After I exchanged a few more words with Qingqing, I probably asked some about Qingqing's life, and after knowing that she was okay, my heart was also very happy.
After Qingqing left, Chen Jinghao turned his head to look at me and said, "Orange, that Kuaixiang brand is the best product in the Xuan Realm, I asked you how many times you asked you and you didn't give it to me, how can you say that if you give it to a child, you will give it to a child?" ”
"What's the use of what you want? You are already a master, Qingqing is still so concerned about what happened twenty years ago, what's wrong with sending something to other people's children? As I spoke, I opened the plastic bag in my hand, and saw a glass bottle in the plastic bag, and inside the glass bottle was an intact finger.
Turning back to the incense shop, I entered a room on the first floor. Inside the room, thirty-two skeleton shelves stood in the dark, and in the middle of the skeleton shelves was placed an ice coffin, lying quietly in it.
When Chen Jinghao and I walked in, the thirty-two skeletons slowly turned their heads to look at the two of us, and the expressions of each skeleton were full of curiosity.
When I get to the ice coffin. Yiyi's soul floated out of the ice coffin, looking at the glass in my hand in a daze, and his face was extremely complicated.
"Yiyi, your finger Brother Yecheng helped you find it." I smiled softly and said.
"Brother Ye Cheng...... I...... Can I not be reincarnated? When Yiyi saw her fingers, her face flashed with excitement, and then she looked sad.
I walked up to Yiyi, reached out and gently touched her head. said: "Yiyi, you promised your brother, and my brother will help you find your finger, and you will go to reincarnation." What a child says should also count. ”
Yiyi choked up with a "hmm" and said, "But, brother, I can't bear you, I can't bear Xiaohong's ......."
For some reason, it was a happy thing to find Yiyi's finger back. But this small room in the medicine incense shop is full of parting atmosphere.
Pushing open the ice coffin, bursts of white smoke came out of the ice coffin, and I took out seven silver needles and attached them to Yiyi's finger intact under Yiyi's gaze.
Xiaohong and the others all gathered around, looking curiously at Yiyi in the ice coffin, when their fingers were connected. The little finger at the ghost moved subconsciously.
"Mouse...... Do the math and see when the soul of over-attachment is appropriate. I turned my head to look at Chen Jinghao and said.
