"Another three days of Chinese medicine ......"

Yan Zixiu sat on the bench, helplessly looked at the Chinese medicine bag in the leather bag in his left hand, and sighed in his heart: "These bitter water seeds, I really have drunk enough." When is it a head? ”

He looked up at the people coming and going on the boulevard, patients, family members, visitors, doctors, nurses, and hospital staff, of all ages. Most of them are expressionless, and many are sad.

Yan Zixiu has been frail and sick since he was a child, and he has not taken medicine and injections for 20 years, and he has suffered no less. He looked at these patients and sighed in his heart: "It would be nice if everyone didn't get sick." ”

The autumn wind blew, and a sycamore leaf swayed left and right and floated down, and Yan Zixiu stretched out his right hand to pick it up.

At this time, a wave of sleepiness welled up......

……

Yan Zixiu suddenly felt that he was sleeping in the wilderness, and his body was covered with a lot of fallen leaves. He dimly felt a person walking in the distance. As the man approached, Yan Zixiu felt a warm air flow blowing, and the fallen leaves on his body floated away at once.

Yan Zixiu got up and looked up, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a young man in white in ancient costumes with a great figure, about twenty years old, with eyebrows like lacquer, eyes like stars, and fair skin, and he felt that the whole person seemed to glow from the inside out.

Somehow, Yan Zixiu intuitively felt that this young man was his former master, and he naturally had a very cordial feeling in his heart.

The young man in white smiled at Yan Zixiu and nodded, raised his hand to the side, and a light door appeared in front of the two.

The young man passed on an idea to Yan Zixiu: "Follow me." Then he stepped into the light gate. Yan Zixiu naturally followed in, and suddenly felt that he had come to a fairyland:

I saw the clear blue sky as far as the eye could see, the blue sky was full of auspicious clouds, and some very beautiful and strange birds were flying and wandering in the air. He and the young man in white stood on a huge green jade platform, surrounded by towering treasure trees, flowers and plants, and a gentle breeze, bringing bursts of fragrance.

Yan Zixiu couldn't help but take a deep breath, only to feel refreshed, physically and mentally comfortable, translucent inside and out, and a wonderful feeling unprecedented. I also saw that there were white marble watches standing on the left and right of the high platform, towering into the clouds. In front of the stage, three golden steps descend gently to a very spacious fountain square. After the square, there is a hundred-zhang wide Mingguang Avenue leading into the distance, and there is no end in sight.

The treasure trees on both sides of the avenue are shaded, and more than a dozen Qionglou Yuyu can be faintly seen. Further on both sides, there are boundless fields, clear rivers like jade belts, golden crops undulating with the wind, there are some hills and green hills distributed in between, waterfalls splashing jade, lakes like jewels, everywhere is colorful, beautiful and peaceful. What a beautiful fairy scenery.

Yan Zixiu couldn't help but sigh, what kind of place is this? That's nice!

Immediately, I heard the voice of the young man in white: "This is the Medicine Master Immortal Mansion." ”

"Medicine Master Immortal Mansion?" Yan Zixiu's inner doubts kept emerging.

The young man in white said, "This is a gift that the teacher promised to give you back then. ”

Yan Zixiu's master and apprentice intuitively felt confirmed. But he had more questions: "Back then? Gift? Sent to me? Right now? ”

The young man in white smiled: "Slowly you will understand." ”

"Can I come here often?"

The young man in white said: "This immortal mansion is for you to take with you, of course you can come at any time." ”

Yan Zixiu asked, "Master brought me here this time, how will I come in the future?" ”

The young man in white smiled: "How to get in, you have to figure this out by yourself." ”

He beckoned to the sky, and a beautiful parrot of colorful colors flew over. The parrot nodded to the young man and said, "Hello Master." ”

The young man bowed slightly, turned his head to Yan Zixiu and said, "Zixiu, this is worry-free, it is the spirit of the Medicine Master Immortal Mansion." You can understand it as the head of the Immortal Mansion. ”

Yan Zixiu waved to the parrot and smiled: "Hello worry-free." ”

The parrot nodded: "Hello Zixiu." ”

The young man in white said: "Okay, the time is almost up, I still have something to do, it's time to go." You can also go back. ”

Yan Zixiu was reluctant to give up: "Then when will I be able to see you, Master?" ”

"Spring is in full bloom, and the water is coming naturally. When the opportunity is ripe, it will naturally be seen. After the young man in white finished speaking, his brilliance flashed and disappeared.

……

Yan Zixiu was startled and found that he was still sitting on the bench, and the sycamore leaf was falling into his outstretched right hand.

Did I just have a dream? Yan Zixiu realized himself for a while, and only felt that his body and mind were comfortable and transparent, and all kinds of sick feelings over the years were gone, especially the warm dantian part of the lower abdomen. When I looked at it again, the Chinese medicine bag in the leather bag was gone, and there was a dark green jade ring on the left index finger.

Wasn't it just a dream? Yan Zixiu took off the ring and examined it carefully, only to see that the ring was simple in style, with a refreshing aura surrounding it, and there were some golden star-shaped spots on it, which added a bit of beauty.

He put the ring back on, stood up and moved, feeling a new vitality all over his body. The heavy burden that I have carried for more than ten years since I can remember seems to have been thrown away all at once, and I can't help but feel happy. In addition to being happy, I completely forgot about the loss of the Chinese medicine bag.

Yan Zixiu was happy and puzzled for a while, before he stabilized his mind and took a look at the situation in front of him.

This was Huaxiaguo's 1992 year, and it was also the second year that he was assigned to Liyuan Township after graduating from secondary school. Originally, the township was in financial difficulties and was reluctant to recruit new people. But this year, the graduation assignment was all rigid, so the township dragged on for a few months and reluctantly accepted him.

After officially going to work, the township arranged for Yan Zixiu to take him to a deputy township chief, and half a year later, he was asked to sit in a queue in Gulou Village, which is the second farthest away from Liyuanji. There are two main tasks of squatting in the township, one is to assign various tasks in the township and supervise their completion, and the other is to collect all kinds of funds. Huaxia, which had just entered the 90s, was not rich as a whole, so the appropriation from the higher authorities to the township was far from enough for daily expenses. What to do? Find a way to raise your own money. The so-called self-financing, the final pressure basically falls on the villages.

There is no way, all departments need to operate normally, the salaries of primary and secondary school teachers must be paid, water conservancy and roads must be repaired every year, and so on, and money is needed to open and close your eyes. In a word, it's hard.

Yan Zixiu is honest and dutiful, and because he is weak and sick, he will ask for leave every once in a while. So the people in the township are not very optimistic about him. Once, because he was in a hurry, he wrote a fake note that was a little simple, and the big leader even read it to everyone as a joke at the township meeting, which caused everyone to laugh. This time, when I came to the First People's Hospital of the city to see a nervous breakdown, the deputy head of the township in charge also reluctantly approved a three-day leave.

"Career depends on spirit. From today onwards, everything will be different. Yan Zixiu stood up, stretched out his arms and legs, felt the full vitality, confidence rose from within, and walked out of the hospital with his leather bag.

There are more than two days left on the holiday, and Yan Zixiu decided to go home first. Let parents know that their physical condition has improved, so that they don't have to worry about it all the time.

Yan Zixiu sat on the long-distance bus home, the first time he was in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside the window, and the first time he had the spare energy to pay attention to the situation in the car. The bus, which usually feels noisy and noisy, seems to be very quiet today, and everyone seems to be in a good mood.

He stroked the dark green ring, feeling the fresh and pleasant smell emanating from it, and recalled the wonderful experience of today. After staying in the Medicine Master's Immortal Mansion for a while, in reality, the leaves had just fallen a short distance. It seems that the speed of time in these two worlds is different. That's fine, Master said that I can go to the Immortal Mansion at any time, and let me figure out how to go by myself, which is really interesting. And the head of the house spirit is worry-free, and his voice is so good.

It's nice to be carefree, carefree, carefree.

was talking about worry-free, and suddenly the colorful brilliance flashed, and the chief manager appeared in front of him: "Zixiu, you called me?" Yan Zixiu was startled, hurriedly looked left and right, and found that the passengers were sleeping and talking, as if they couldn't see or hear the sound of worry-free.

He put his mind at ease, and said in his heart, "You guy, scare me." However, I have a lot of questions for you. ”

"Say whatever you want."

Yan Zixiu asked, "Master, who is his old man?" ”

"You'll find out in a while." ”

"Oh, then how can I get into the Immortal Mansion?"

"Master, let you figure it out for yourself."

Yan Zixiu was puzzled: "Why didn't you two tell me directly?" ”

Carefree let out a pleasant laugh: "Tell you directly, you are not impressed." ”

Yan Zixiu was helpless: "Uh...... All right. What should I do first now? ”

"Find a way to enter the Immortal Mansion first."

Yan Zixiu supported his forehead: "Can you give me some hints?" ”

Worry-free this time very simply: "Yes." Do you think about how you entered the Immortal Mansion for the first time? ”

Yan Zixiu blurted out: "Didn't the master take me in?" ”

Worry-free prompt: "Then how did you meet Master?" ”

Yan Zixiu said: "I fell asleep and had a dream." ”

"Then why did you have this dream?" ”

"How do I know that...... Oh, no, it's a different situation. ”

Yan Zixiu began to sink his mind and reminisce.
