Chapter 52: Finally Home
Xu Zhengdao, who is lonely and has no job, comes and goes freely, thinking that he has moved to Kyoto for a few months, and he plans to go back to Yunwu Mountain. One came to dig medicinal herbs, and the other came to go to the mountains to be a farmer for a few days.
The remaining wild boar stored in the cave Xuanjie was handed over to Liu Daneng for disposal at one time, and he went to Liu's house to have a thanksgiving meal in advance, and went to Linyuan Hutong to entrust the repair of the courtyard to Qian Chuanlin.
Before leaving, seeing the 1,000 yuan in cash handed to him, Qian Chuanlin was also speechless and said: "You guy, you are addicted to being a shopkeeper." In your eyes, so much money feels no different from straw paper. ”
"Old money, don't say that, straw paper is much better than this. You also know that although I am an idler, I usually have a lot of things. This time I'm going to stay in the mountains for a while, who else can you entrust if you don't entrust the affairs of this quadrangle? ”
"Well, who got me on your boy's thief ship! Don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye on the courtyard. But when it comes to termites, you have to have snacks yourself. At best, you can dig out the termite nest. ”
As an old carpenter, it is not a problem for Qian Chuanlin to repair a house and choose wood. But what he was really afraid of was that after he bought the new wood and installed it, the termites who were hiding somewhere began to eat the new wood again.
If the hidden danger of termites is not completely eradicated, the courtyard rebuilt with wood is afraid that it will not be long before it is rebuilt. It was precisely because of this worry that he tried his best to dissuade Xu Zhengdao from spending so much money to buy this kind of courtyard house.
Knowing that Lao Qian was also kind, Xu Zhengdao also said seriously: "When I come back from the mountains, I will prepare some medicinal powder." As long as you sprinkle those medicinal powders in the yard, not to mention that termites dare not come forward, ants and cockroaches have to move. ”
"Cheng, you just have to know it in your heart. Then I won't keep you longer, I'll take care of the courtyard for you. ”
became a year-old righteousness with Xu Zhengdao, and Qian Chuanlin didn't feel anything bad. It is said that 'adversity sees the truth', and the second apprentice can also see Xu Zhengdao's character. In Qian Chuanlin's view, this kind of friend is worth making.
Although sometimes he is also curious, Xu Zhengdao, who lives in the suburbs without a job, has so much money. From the beginning to the end, he didn't ask. Many times, he prefers to believe that this is the legacy left by Xu Zhengdao's elders.
After arranging the affairs of Kyoto, Xu Zhengdao went to the courtyard house purchased by his uncle again. Although I didn't see Uncle this time, I found that someone had cleaned the room. As for who cleaned it, Xu Zhengdao also did not know.
After pondering for a while, Xu Zhengdao said thoughtfully: "I just hope that this will not affect my uncle's marriage." ”
If he is willing to inquire, he may be able to know the current situation of the Xu family and the Zhou family. But as an ordinary person, it is still easy to arouse suspicion when he ventures to inquire about the affairs of such a powerful family.
was already intending to avoid the Xu family's investigation, how could he take the initiative to send it to the door?
Besides, even if he is a human being in two lives, it can involve speculation about people's hearts and layouts, how can he be the opponent of that old fox?
After returning to the village to rest for a night, I greeted Sun Dazhuang, the village party secretary, and had already accepted his old party secretary in my heart, and said with great concern: "Go into the mountains to collect medicine?" Is it dangerous? You go into the mountains alone, but be careful. ”
"Thank you Uncle Sun for your concern! I have been to the mountains many times before, and I know what is going on in the mountains. ”
"That's good! Don't worry about it at home, I'll keep an eye on it for you if there's anything to do, and I won't let people break in. ”
"Hmmm! Actually, it's nothing to go in, and I don't have anything too valuable at home. I am afraid that someone will go in and pick the lock and smash the door and destroy the medicinal herbs placed in the house. It's really messed up, and when I come back, I will have to toss it again. ”
"It shouldn't be! In our poor and remote place, thieves are afraid that they are not interested. ”
After another small talk, Xu Zhengdao, who got on a bicycle and carried some things, left Bumrungrad Village in a very chic manner. Unlike in the past, when he went out of the city by car, he decided to ride a bicycle out of the city because he didn't want to feel the sour taste of the shuttle bus anymore.
Even if the ride was a bit far, it was really nothing in terms of his current physical strength. Riding to the mountains bordering the Cloud Mountains, he found a no-man's land, and put his bike in storage.
Start the dragon walk and rush into the jungle on the side of the road, and then run in the direction of the main peak of Cloud Mountain, quickly shuttling forward in the jungle. In order to avoid disturbing the people who may be in the jungle, he also released his spiritual power from time to time to explore the way.
Fortunately, at this time, the nearby villagers are busy with their work in the fields, and not many people come to the mountains. It took less than an hour for him to finally reappear on Cloud Mountain. Looking at the rock house on the rock wall, he also felt very happy in his heart.
"Well, it's finally home."
Even in the city, he already has two yards. But deep down, this simple rock house on the rock wall is his hometown. This kind of status, presumably no house to buy in the future, can replace its status.
Walking along the excavated stone stairs, Xu Zhengdao walked slowly to the rock house, took out the key to open the door, and soon felt a somewhat stuffy smell coming from the house. I haven't been ventilated for so long, and it's a little stuffy in the rock house.
When the windows were opened, the cool mountain breeze that poured into the Iwaya began to circulate around the house. Filter the dull air that was previously enclosed in the house one by one. Even so, Xu Zhengdao still threw out a dust purification talisman to give Iwaya a thorough cleaning.
"It smells so much more comfortable. Put your things in place first, after all, you'll have to stay for a few days! ”
Take out all the living materials that were packed in the space and put them where they should be. After a while, a familiar and cordial home appeared in front of Xu Zhengdao again.
Thinking that it was noon, Xu Zhengdao also smiled and said: "Don't be busy working, when it's time to eat, then you should make a fire and cook." When you're done eating, take a nap and get up late to work. ”
In fact, as far as Xu Zhengdao's current cultivation is concerned, even if he doesn't eat for a few days, it doesn't matter. But he felt that being a monk in Bigu would lose a lot of the joy of being a human being. And cooking is one of his few pleasures.
In his words, it's not that you're hungry and want to eat, but because it's time to eat.
Xu Zhengdao, who was cooking and holding a rice bowl, sat on the threshold and ate while watching the scenery as he usually did in Iwaya. Although it is not elegant to eat like this, he thinks that it is comfortable to eat like this, so how to be comfortable.
Xu Zhengdao, who had eaten well, opened the window and lay on the slightly cool mat as he had arranged before, and closed his eyes to rest without even taking off his clothes. The mountain breeze that blows into the Iwaya from time to time makes him feel very comfortable and comfortable.
When he woke up again, Xu Zhengdao, who was stretching his waist, also sighed: "It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably!" ”
In addition to sighing, he knew in his heart that the rock house was different from the farmhouse courtyard in Bumrungrad Village. Living in the village, the lunch break is also the time for the villagers to rest. Since I knew that he knew how to heal, there would be villagers who would come to his door to seek medical treatment at this time.
Relying on the medical skills to solve a lot of headaches and brain fever for the villagers, he now has a very good reputation in Bumrungrad Village. Especially Zhong Younian, who is still taking medicine, has taken several courses of medicine, and his cough seems to have been cured for many years.
Although his pneumoconiosis has not yet been cured, Zhong Younian can clearly feel that his body is developing in a better place. In the past, when I had a cough and chest tightness, I drank the Chinese medicine prescribed by Xu Zhengdao, and I almost didn't commit it.
was diagnosed with pneumoconiosis in the hospital before, and Zhong Younian felt that he could only sit and wait for death in this life. didn't think about it, but the seemingly young Xu Zhengdao's medical skills were very good. Relying on the Chinese medicine he prescribed, the symptoms were alleviated a lot.
Even if you can't do any heavy work, Zhong Younian knows in his heart that in fact, it is okay to do some heavy work. But for the sake of his health and in order for him to live a few more years, his family didn't want him to do any heavy work.
If Xu Zhengdao had not been diagnosed in advance, he would have suffered from such a serious lung disease. I didn't know that Zhong Younian, who was suffering from this disease, if it dragged on for a few more years, I am afraid that he would really be completely hopeless. How can the Zhong family not be grateful for this grace of life?
