Chapter 1: Amnesia
"Oh, whose child is this, actually lying in the water," an old woman's anxious voice sounded vaguely next to her ears.
"Old woman, hurry up and help him up, the water is cold in case it freezes" Another old man's voice sounded, "Come, work harder, pull him up"
"Hey, why is he so cold, let's transport him home first, and then go down to the village and ask if anyone is lost," said the old woman.
"Okay, transport him home first, this spring water hasn't even melted into ice yet."
......
There are countless stars, but most of them are silent and twinkle non-stop, but there are only a few that are particularly mischievous or outstanding......
They frolicked and played with each other, teased the silent stars together, and lived carefree lives together......
It was hazy, and the front of his eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, and he couldn't see things clearly in a daze, "Hmm......" The young man gradually woke up and let out a groan.
"Old man, he's awake, come here, come quickly," the old woman said in surprise, "Here, the medicine will have to wait for a while, first ask him where he is from, where is his home" The old man said.
A strong smell of medicine stimulated the boy's nose, and his head swelled.
"Who are you, young man, and why are you by the river?" asked the old woman as she came over for fear of frightening him.
The young man blinked slightly, the haze in front of him gradually disappeared, and he turned a deaf ear to the old woman's words and just quietly looked at the surrounding environment: this seems to be an ordinary peasant house, two or three hoes in the distance are leaning against the corner of the wall, there are bucket hats hanging on the wall, and the simple bed exudes a faint fragrance, but now the whole room is filled with an unpleasant smell of Chinese medicine, which makes the young man subconsciously frown.
When the old woman saw that he did not answer, she thought that she had not heard clearly, so she asked again: "Young man, what is your name, and why did you fall by the river?"
Only then did the young man look at the person who was talking in front of him, and it was an old woman who looked at him lovingly.
"I'm ......" A huge stream of memories crossed his brain, and the boy tried desperately to catch it but couldn't, and the next moment after the memory flowed, his head became empty, and he couldn't think of anything.
"I don't know, I can't remember it at all" The young man shook his head and said, "What a poor child, it should be separated" The old woman gently touched his head and said, "We will help you ask where your family is, don't worry, you will live here during this time, just take care of your injuries"
"Yes" The old man raised his head and said, "This room used to belong to my grandson, but he was accepted as a disciple by Qinghe Guan last year" Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but puff up his back proudly.
Qinghe Temple was originally an ordinary Taoist temple located on Qinghe Mountain, but later several outstanding disciples came out of the temple to go down the mountain to kill demons, do good deeds and preach morality, and were loved.
Gradually, the people of the world began to revere the Qinghe Temple, and the Qinghe Mountain place was surrounded by clouds and smoke all year round.
The Taoist temple is built on the top of the mountain, and it seems to be in the clouds from a distance, so the Qinghe Temple has become a holy place for cultivating immortals in the mouths of the common people, and the incense is continuous every year.
In the end, those who have children reach a certain age must be sent to Qinghe to observe the bones to see how the spiritual root is, if it is suitable for cultivating immortals, it is the glory of the ancestors, and the parents will be respected by everyone in the village.
Obviously, the grandson of the old woman's family was selected to join the Qinghe Temple, and the ordinary farmer who used to be just farming in the village to support his family now has to call Brother Xiao even when he sees him.
Now when Old Man Xiao goes out for a walk, he will mention the grandson of the immortal cultivator in Qinghe from time to time, which will attract a group of envious eyes.
This made him very useful, and now he has to habitually mention it in the face of this strange boy he doesn't know.
"Thank you, old man," the young man thanked sincerely, "Hey, it's okay, it's okay, I'm going to go to the neighboring village in the afternoon to inquire," the old woman said.
"Is the old man's medicine cured?" asked the old woman, turning to her wife
The old man looked at it: "It's almost" and then handed it to the past, the old woman looked at the young man and said: "This is a medicine to ward off the cold, you were lying in the river when we found you, how cold the water is now, don't freeze your body, come"
The young man smelled the smell that made him frown all the time, and suddenly came to him, and his body was very resistant, so he took the medicine and drank it all regardless of the heat.
The old woman looked at the young man in surprise and said, "You...... Aren't you hot?" The young man also seemed to be stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, I feel okay", the old man couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it,
The old woman smiled and said, "Okay, now that the medicine has been drunk, let's rest for a while, so that it can be faster."
The old woman took the bowl and gave the old man a look, telling him to hurry up and go out and not disturb the rest of the people, although the old man was a little suspicious, but he still walked out.
"I see, you're vanity again," said the old woman directly to the old man as soon as she closed the door.
Old Man Xiao said: "What's wrong with me, why is my vanity attacking again?"
Mrs. Xiao said: "It's been decades, do you think I can't see your fancy hearts, as soon as you see something unreasonable, you have to try to figure it out, maybe you just go to Qinghe to watch and see if you can go in to give you a long face, right?"
Old Man Xiao's face turned red when he was said and muttered, "This child must be sent back when he finds his family...... What kind of face can I ......?"
The old woman didn't talk to him anymore and said, "I'm going to go to the village next to me and ask if anyone is missing, where do you go to ask, or go to the water stream again to see if there is anything left", Old Man Xiao had to nod and agree.
The boy buried his head in the quilt but couldn't sleep, what his name was, where he came from, these questions had been haunting his mind, but he had no clue.
The previous memories seem to have been emptied, and there is nothing left, and I feel a little tired when I think about it, and I fall asleep unconsciously......
