Wuteng Mountain, also known as 'Yin Yang Mountain', is the southernmost lonely mountain of Qi State.

There is a salt stream under the mountain, a hundred miles long, the water on the mountain is poured into it, the drought is not dry, and there are many red stones at the bottom of the stream.

The south of this mountain is rich in forests, many maple forests and red pearl grasses, in autumn, the distance is like blood and fire!

There is no grass in the north, the strange rocks are craggy, and it is very steep, not to mention people, wild beasts are rare.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, this mountain is full of black vines, the Jiuli people who live in the southwest do not know why, all of them were brought into shackles overnight, all the way to this place, the shackles have long been soaked in blood, the executioner waved his sword, the head rolled down to the salt stream, turned into a red stone, the shackles were abandoned in the mountains and fields to take root, or grow into a piece of maple forest, or generate a red pearl grass, and the headless corpse was thrown to the north side of the mountain, turned into a strange stone......

This kind of realm, let alone at night, is also cloudy and windy during the day.

There is a dilapidated Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, which is called: a view of the mountain.

I think that there was also a strong incense in the mountain in the view, and the Taoist priests in the view were not only busy cultivating, but also helping the people under the mountain to spread the Taoism......

It's a pity that it seems to be just a blink of an eye, and the Taoist temple has declined.

Because no one patronizes it all the year round, the gate of the Taoist temple is tilted, the statue is damaged, the cobwebs in the main hall are woven, the grass in the courtyard is overgrown, and the wind blows, and the window paper makes a 'whoosh' sound.

There is an old vine in the courtyard, which is already dead, and the crow stands on the dead vine and cries twice from time to time, which adds to the desolation.

There is an old Taoist in the front yard of the Taoist temple, wrapped in a green robe, the hair bun is locked with white hair, the white eyebrows are overlooked, the steps are faltering, and he still insists on sweeping the dust in the courtyard every day, and then sits in the main hall, cultivating the road against the damaged statue, looking no sorrow and no joy.

The Taoist temple has a backyard, and it is cleaned up with some fireworks in the world.

There is a vegetable patch in the courtyard, the windows of the house are not broken, and the door is well closed.

One day, there will always be smoke rising from the small kitchen in the courtyard, but there is no human voice, and occasionally a young and strong person is busy alone.

An old man, a young man, silent, spring and autumn......

But on this day, three people outside the Taoist temple called the door, and the crow on the vine almost fell, in this yard, it has seen it crawling at the four corners, but has not seen anyone come.

……

"Is there anyone in the view? We are from the Linjiang City family, and we are here to pick up the fourth son back to Linjiang City! At the entrance of the Taoist temple, among the three people, the older and richer man stepped into the courtyard and shouted loudly, followed by two sturdy young men.

Lao Dao stood by the damaged statue, forgetting to close his eyes and chanting words, as if he could not hear the sound of the side, and the young man in the backyard was fertilizing in the vegetable garden, dizzy from the smoke, and he could not hear the shouts in the front yard.

At this moment, a very faint voice came from the backyard house: "Someone is coming." ”

The young man didn't hear it.

With a 'dang' sound, something in the house smashed on the door frame, and the young man quickly put down the dung bucket, ran to the door, pushed open the door and asked, "What is the matter with Childe?" ”

"Someone is coming." The weak voice sounded again.

The young man smiled: "Isn't Childe dreaming?" How could anyone come? ”

"Someone is coming." The weak Childe is still holding on.

"Okay, I'll go ahead and have a look!" The young man wiped the sweat from his face, closed the door, and ran towards the front yard.

……

The three of them had all entered the Taoist temple at this time, and they were carefully inspecting the Taoist temple.

The old and mellow man was the first to see the old way in the hall, so he walked into the hall and said loudly: "I am the housekeeper of the Zhu family in Lin Jiangcheng, and I have come to take our four sons back to the house, where are the four sons?" ”

Zhu Butler's tone is arrogant, and there is no half of respect and politeness at all.

Lao Dao was still closing his eyes as if he was in a state of flux.

Butler Zhu frowned, and was about to ask a more dignified question, but there was an exclamation from the courtyard behind him: "But Brother Zhu Tie and Brother Zhu Jian?" ”

"You ......"

"I'm a toast!" Zhu Cai shook his fist excitedly, and the strong smell forced the two in front of him to retreat.

Butler Zhu immediately walked out of the main hall, looked at Zhu Cai, and looked at it carefully for a moment before saying, "Are you always serving the fourth son?" ”

Zhu Cai had already seen Steward Zhu, he subconsciously took a step back, and the previous excitement vanished.

"What do you ask?" Zhu Tie held back his breath and stepped forward to push Zhu Cai.

Zhu Cai hummed and lowered his head.

Butler Zhu waved his hand: "Take me to see the fourth son, and then you go and clean up, there is a carriage prepared at the foot of the mountain, let's leave for Linjiang City immediately!" ”

As soon as Zhu Cai heard this, he ran towards the backyard.

……

"Childe, the Zhu family finally sent someone to pick you up!" Zhu Cai rushed into the house in the backyard, and threw herself in front of the bed with a trembling voice.

There was a young man lying on the bed, his face was pale and blue, and he didn't know if he could see the sun tomorrow!

However, the young man's facial features are upright, and he can still see a little handsomeness under his weakness.

This young man is Zhu Qinglin, the fourth son of the Zhu family in Lin Jiangcheng!

"Don't go." As soon as Zhu Qinglin whispered two words, the housekeeper Zhu pushed the door in.

The smell in the house made Steward Zhu very uncomfortable, he opened the door, entered the house and only stood for a moment before retreating to the door, covering his nose and carefully looking at Zhu Qinglin on the bed, Zhu Qinglin tilted his head to look at the door, and also looked at Steward Zhu.

Butler Zhu vaguely seemed to see the fourth son's childhood appearance on Zhu Qinglin's face, so he spoke: "Fourth son, the old lady ordered us to take the fourth son home, the second master passed away last month......

Zhu Qinglin was silent, only tilted his head to look at Steward Zhu.

Butler Zhu looked at the layout of the house impatiently, and urged: "Fourth son, let's hurry up and clean up ......"

"On the way to death, where to bury?" The fourth prince weakly interrupted the butler and asked.

Zhu Steward was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile:

"The fourth son has been ...... since he was a child Determined that he will not live to be seven years old, and his family will be affected, otherwise he would not have been sent to this kind of place by the old lady at the age of six, seeing that twelve years have passed, the second master is gone, and the fourth son is not alive and well! The fourth son has a big life, and he will be fine. ”

"I'm talking about you." Zhu Qinglin said and covered his mouth with one hand and coughed violently.

Butler Zhu was startled, and subconsciously retreated to the door, covering his mouth and nose tightly with one hand.

Zhu Cai was stunned, he had followed the fourth prince for more than ten years, and the fourth prince didn't even have the strength to speak on weekdays, how could he have the strength to cough today?

Zhu Cai looked at Steward Zhu and wanted to explain, the fourth prince was just a little weak, but before the words could be spoken, Zhu Qinglin's hand covering his mouth was released, he first looked at himself in horror, and then stretched out his hand to show Steward Zhu who was standing at the door, as if to say: Look, I coughed up blood.

Zhu Butler was so frightened that he sat on the ground, holding the hand that had touched the door just now, panicked and didn't know what to do.

Zhu Tie and Zhu Jian have been standing behind the housekeeper, at this time the two wanted to step forward to help the housekeeper, but they didn't dare, when they hesitated, Zhu Tie asked Zhu Cai: "Isn't the fourth son suffering from tuberculosis?" ”

Zhu Cai was just about to explain, but Zhu Qinglin said weakly: "You guys, go to the front yard and find that old Taoist ......."

Before Zhu Qinglin finished speaking, Steward Zhu had already gotten up and dragged his round body towards the front yard, followed by Zhu Tie and Zhu Jian.

Zhu Qinglin's words sounded to the three of them, which meant: I can live to this day because of the old man in the front yard, if you want to live, go to him.

……

Lao Dao is still closing his eyes and thinking about it.

This time, the housekeeper didn't dare to be as rude as before, but took Zhu Tie and Zhu Jian, and knelt aside honestly, waiting for Lao Dao to finish his homework.

But I wish the housekeeper that this kneeling is an hour.

Lao Dao finished chattering contentedly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw three living people kneeling beside him, and his buttocks were so frightened that he left the futon and fell back heavily.

"Is it a human or a demon?" The old man shouted.

Zhu the housekeeper hurriedly showed who he was and why he came, and was just about to say that he might be infected by the backyard, but Lao Dao shouted again: "You are louder, haven't you eaten?" ”

I wish the housekeeper to understand this, this old way...... Hard of hearing!

The housekeeper almost finished what he wanted to say by the ear of Lao Dao, and Lao Dao pulled the white eyebrows that grew to the corners of his eyes and said, "You say it again." ”
