Chapter 4 A jade pendant

The villagers of Yejia Village still inherit the ancient tradition, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Therefore, as the sun rises, most of the villagers have already gotten up and started their busy daily lives. Middle-aged people in groups of three and two were talking in the open space in the village, and several children were chasing each other and playing happily.

"Yo, Xiaolian, get up early in the morning and go to the mountain to watch the sunrise, young people's energy is good!. As soon as Ye Lian stepped into the village, she heard a shout, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.

"Aunt Hua, you got up early today. Is my Uncle Niu's health okay?" Ye Lian turned her head and said with a smile as she looked at a middle-aged woman who walked out of a courtyard at the entrance of the village.

I saw that this woman was dressed plainly, with an apron tied around her waist, and a bowl of rice in her hand, with an ordinary and friendly appearance.

"Your Uncle Niu is very good, his body is as strong as a cow. By the way, your Uncle Niu went into the mountains to hunt and hunted a few hares yesterday, come, follow me in, I'll get one for you, go home and let your mother stew it for you, make up for your body. With that, he picked up Ye Lian and walked home.

"No need, Aunt Hua, you can keep it for the little monkey to make up for it. Ye Lian refused, because Aunt Hua was carrying a big bowl of rice, Ye Lian did not break free, and let her pull her to the courtyard.

"Erniu, Xiaolian is here, pick a big one from the hare you hunted yesterday and give it to Xiaolian to hold. As soon as she entered the hospital, Aunt Hua shouted.

Hearing the shouting, a figure quickly ran out of the hall, only to see that this person was one meter five or six tall, his body was as strong as a little calf, and his appearance was still immature.

"Brother Xiaolian, are you here to play with me?" the young man said happily.

"What are you playing, you Brother Xiaolian haven't eaten breakfast yet, look at your Brother Xiaolian, when you're so old, you'll treat people, but you know how to play." Aunt Hua scolded with a smile.

"The little monkey is only 11 years old, he is so strong, and he will definitely be an expert hunter like my Uncle Niu in the future. Ye Lian gently stroked the young man's head and said with a smile.

When the little monkey heard his mother's scolding, he pursed his lips aggrievedly and whispered, "I don't want to hunt, I want to be a doctor like Brother Xiaolian." ”

"Hahaha, Xiaolian is here, you haven't eaten yet, come, let your Aunt Hua serve you a bowl of rice to eat first. A hearty laugh came. A 2-meter-tall man walked out of the house, it was Ye Erniu. He carried a long-dead rabbit in his hand.

"No, Uncle Niu, my mother should be ready to cook by now, I should go back. Come back another day to play with the little monkeys. I won't take the rabbit. Ye Lian looked at the strong man and said.

"If you don't take anything, you will take it if you want to take it. As he spoke, he stuffed the rabbit in his hand into Ye Lian's hand. Ye Lian had no choice but to accept it.

......

When Ye Lian walked home, her mother had already prepared a meal, and her father was checking the pulse of an elderly man. Seeing Ye Lian coming back and holding a rabbit in her hand, Ye Lian's mother's eyes were full of love.

"Come back, this rabbit was given to you by your Uncle Niu again, after your Uncle Niu was picked up by you with a broken arm, he didn't take anything to our house, and our family didn't have anything to take. Ye Lian's mother greeted her, took the rabbit in Ye Lian's hand, and said.

After Ye Lian said hello to the old man who came to see the doctor, she walked into the house and began to eat breakfast. Breakfast was very ordinary, but Ye Lian also ate it with relish, but the thought of saying goodbye to her family made her heart full of bitterness.

After breakfast, Ye Lian, like most villagers, began a busy day. Although Yejia Village is located in the deep mountains, there are hundreds of families, and because only Ye Lian's family practices medicine, there is an endless stream of people who see a doctor, Ye Lian has been busy until the evening, and the number of people who see a doctor is gradually scarce.

......

At night, Yejia Village finally returned to tranquility after a busy day, with only a few dog barks sounding from time to time. The bright moon hung high, and there were not a few bird "cooing" cries in the mountains and forests. The small mountain village seems so peaceful and peaceful.

......

At this time, Ye Lian stood outside the door of his parents, his hand raised and lowered, looking very hesitant. The lights in his parents' house were still on, and the sound of conversation could faintly come from the house, and it was obvious that Ye Lian's parents had not yet fallen asleep.

Finally, Ye Lian seemed to have made up her mind. A small step forward.

"Knock knock" Ye Lian knocked on the door of his parents' room.

"Who?" asked from the room, it was Ye Lian's mother's voice.

"It's me, mother, I have something to discuss with you. Ye Lian replied outside the door.

"Squeak" sounded, the door opened from the inside, Ye Lian's mother opened the door, saw that it was Ye Lian, turned sideways to let Ye Lian enter the house, and closed the door again.

Ye Lian entered the house and saw his father sitting at an elm table looking at him, apparently his parents were discussing things just now.

"You don't sleep so late, do you have something to do with me and your mother?" Ye Lian's father spoke. Ye Lian's mother returned to the table and sat down, looking at Ye Lian, and wondering why Ye Lian came to his door so late.

Hearing only the sound of "plopping", Ye Lian knelt in front of his parents violently.

Ye Lian's parents were a little stunned when they saw Ye Lian kneeling down. "Hurry up, what are you doing? Ye Lian's mother hurriedly stepped forward to help Ye Lian up. But there was a bad premonition in my heart.

"Father, mother, I can't do my filial piety in front of you anymore, I will soon leave here and go to the world outside the mountains. Ye Lian's mother heard Ye Lian's words, she only felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand, Ye Lian hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and helped her mother to sit on the chair, her face was full of complicated expressions. Ye Lian's father's face was also cloudy.

"The mountain roads are rugged and unpredictable, the outside world is not safe, you are young, simple and kind by nature. Not to mention the difficulty of going out, even when you get outside, your mother and I are not worried about your safety. Ye Lian's father said.

"Yes, although our village is not big, but the villagers know each other well and treat each other like a family, what if you are bullied outside? You are also 17 or 8 years old, and you have reached the age of talking about marriage, and your father and I are discussing a marriage for you, what is good outside?" Ye Lian's mother also said, with a little tear in her eyes, obviously unwilling to let Ye Lian leave.

"Dad, mother, do you know what I've been doing on the top of the mountain every morning for the past four years?" Ye Lian asked. I saw Ye Lian stretch out two fingers together, waved at the wooden table, and actually cut off a corner of the wooden table, and the break was as smooth as a mirror.

Ye Lian's parents looked incredulous, as if they didn't believe that this scene was real. At first, Ye Lian climbed the low mountain every morning, and they were a little strange. But over time. The two of them are accustomed to it, just thinking that Ye Lian is exercising, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Ye Lian noticed her parents' puzzled expressions, so she opened her mouth to tell her parents how she met Li Tianhu and how she promised Li Tianhu to help him fulfill his last wish.

After listening to Ye Lian's narration, Ye Lian's parents fell into deep thought, their expressions were shocked, obviously their thoughts were rolling, and it was difficult to accept it for a while. Ye Lian didn't say anything more, just stood quietly aside.

After a long time, Ye Lian's father raised his head, sighed, looked at Ye Lian, and said, "That's it." A good man has ambitions in all directions, you are still young, and you still have a long way to go. Since you've decided, it's okay to go out and have a look, and you must do what you promised others. "Go, bring the thing that has been sitting for more than ten years, and it's time to tell this kid the truth." Ye Lian's father turned his head to look at Ye Lian's mother and said.

"This..."Ye Lian's mother heard Ye Lian's father's words, her expression became more complicated and hesitant. Finally, he slowly stood up and walked to the bed.

"Child, what I want to tell you next, you must be mentally prepared, but remember, the most loved you will always be me and your mother" Ye Lian's father looked at Ye Lian again, with an inexplicable calm expression.

"You..."Ye Lian's father spoke slowly, "You're not actually our biological son!"

"What... How could it be..."Ye Lian's face was incredulous, unacceptable. Despite his mental preparation, when he heard his father's words, he still stood there as if he had been struck by lightning, his brain roared, and his face turned pale.

At this time, Ye Lian's mother came over, holding a package in her hand, and handed it to Ye Lian.

"I picked you up when I was collecting medicine in the mountains, and when I picked you up, this was the only thing you had by your side. Open it up and see, it's yours. After Ye Lian's father finished speaking, he exhaled a long breath with a relaxed expression, as if he had unloaded a burden.

Ye Lian slowly took the package and peeled it off layer by layer until it was completely opened.

"This is..."Ye Lian carefully took the contents of the package in her hand, only to see that it was a jade pendant with a white body. The jade pendant is printed with a lotus flower pattern. When Ye Lian saw the pattern of the lotus flower, an inexplicable sense of intimacy suddenly appeared.
