Volume 1 Mountains and Rivers Chapter 12 That's its story
The simple smile on his wrinkled face lingered, and Uncle Chen's loving eyes always looked at Jiu'er, telling about family life in his mouth.
Teng Yi didn't bother, he stood quietly at the edge of the field, only this person and grass in his eyes.
The sun, moon and stars are shining, the grass and trees are affectionate, not to mention people.
"Girl, your mother talked about me again last night, and when people are old, they talk a lot, I want to get angry and say that I am afraid that she will not be able to stand it, and she will not even cook me food today."
"Wait for a few sweet potatoes to be roasted and eaten, that's what I left for the next year, and the fields don't grow well in three or two months."
"Girl, when can you talk to me, I really want to hear your voice."
Chen Bo said while loosening the soil around Jiu'er, if Teng Yi hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to build a pergola for Jiu'er last time.
At this moment, a leaf on Jiu'er's body suddenly patted the back of Uncle Chen's hand.
"Girl, are you filming me?"
Uncle Chen hurriedly stopped and asked excitedly.
Jiu'er didn't respond, but the leaf on her body slapped the back of Uncle Chen's hand again.
"Haha, it's really my daughter talking to me." Uncle Chen smiled, his face contented, he felt that he had never been happier in his life than now.
"Girl, I have to go to work, I'll talk to you again." Chen Boyi reluctantly got up, picked up a hoe and walked to another field.
At this time, Teng Yi slowly walked over.
"Village chief, you're here." Chen Bo greeted Teng Yi with a smile.
"Uncle Chen, you're busy." Teng Yi smiled slightly.
"Go, go, I just said good things to my daughter." Chen Bo urged gently.
Teng Yi nodded, came to the field, and as soon as he squatted down, Jiu'er's transmission came to his mind.
"He's leaving."
As soon as he heard this, the smile on Teng Yi's face disappeared, and he subconsciously looked at Uncle Chen, who was working, and the unadulterated happiness on the other party's face deeply touched his heart.
Teng Yi was silent, Jiu'er would say such a thing, it was not groundless.
But Teng Yi couldn't accept such a result for a while, although life is impermanent, and he can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death after all, but he doesn't want to encounter it so soon.
"Jiu'er, how much time does Uncle Chen have?"
"Half a month, I'll send him."
"Ugh."
Teng Yi secretly remembered the day when Uncle Chen left and stopped talking about it.
After Jiu'er absorbed the death calamity qi, Teng Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Jiu'er, do you know the mountain master?" ”
"I can see it, I know."
Jiu'er's words, Teng Yi was not surprised at all, and continued to ask: "Then Jiu'er, do you know where the mountain master of the old mountain of Teng Village went?" ”
"It's time to chase the living water."
"Living water?"
Teng Yi was surprised, not because he was unfamiliar with this word, no matter how big or small the rivers, lakes and streams in the world have a living water.
It is both the root and the source, and in Tengyi's cognition, the living water will not move autonomously, but will only dry up and disappear with time.
In the area of Tengcun Old Mountain, if you want to talk about living water, it is in the mountain stream.
"Jiu'er, do you mean that the living water in the mountain stream is leaving?"
"When the time comes, rush to the sea and not return."
Teng Yi was surprised, Living Water was really going to run away from home, what did this mean, as soon as he thought of this, his expression instantly became solemn.
"Jiu'er, is it related to the mountain stream?"
For the only water source in Teng Village, Teng Yi naturally attaches great importance to it, after all, they are related to the livelihood of the whole village, if there is a problem with the mountain stream, it will be troublesome.
"Yes, yes, it's going to dry up."
After getting Jiu'er's answer, Teng Yi couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, and he couldn't figure it out.
If the mountain stream is really going to dry up, there should always be a symptom, but why have the villagers never noticed anything abnormal?
Teng Yi was faintly uneasy in his heart, although he already knew why the mountain lord ran away, but he really couldn't accept such an answer.
If there is no mountain stream, it means that the villagers of Teng Village will have to go out a hundred miles away, what will they encounter, Teng Yi knows very well, he asked himself if it was not time.
Unfortunately, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and what was happening at the moment told him very clearly, either go out or die here.
"Jiu'er, why does the mountain lord want to chase the living water?"
No matter how much you want, it won't help, Teng Yi at least knows that it is most important to find the mountain master first.
"That's the story of it."
As soon as Jiu'er explained, Teng Yi understood that some things could not be expressed in words, only to experience and feel them in person.
"Jiu'er, what can I do to see the mountain master?"
"Draw your sword."
These two words directly made Teng Yi stunned, and an inexplicable melancholy suddenly appeared in his heart, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.
"I already have a sword in my heart, and I can see through all the falsehood by drawing the sword."
"But Jiu'er, I really can't draw my sword." Teng Yi smiled dumbly, he knew the sword in his heart very well, so he even gave up trying.
"Then go listen to it."
"Okay."
Jiu'er's second method coincided with Teng Yi, and at that moment, he said goodbye to Jiu'er and hurried to the mountain stream.
At this time, Tie Niu, who was fishing in the stream, saw Tengyi and hurried ashore.
"Village Chief, why are you here?"
"Come and see, how is the harvest of the Iron Bull today?" Teng Yi explained casually, and as he spoke, he looked at the fish basket that Tie Niu carried.
"Village Chief, I caught several big fish today, including a golden one, and I will send it to you when I am about to go back." Tie Niu said happily.
"Golden fish?"
Teng Yi's eyebrows tightened instantly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check, and sure enough, he saw a golden fish in the fish basket.
"Could this be the Lord of the Mountain?" Teng Yi looked at the goldfish seriously, thoughtfully, and then slowly closed his eyes.
"What's wrong with the village chief?"
Seeing this, Tie Niu was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to disturb, he asked in a low voice.
Not long after, Teng Yi opened his eyes, and a teardrop inexplicably flowed from the corner of his eye.
"What's wrong with me?"
Teng Yi looked confused, something obviously touched his heart just now.
"Are you telling your story?" Tengyi, who had no clue, had to look at the goldfish, hoping to find some clues.
It didn't take long for Teng Yi to catch the goldfish out of the fish basket, and he looked at Tie Niu.
"Iron Bull, let's put this goldfish back into the mountain stream."
"Ah, this, okay, okay, village chief, take it and release it."
Although he was a little reluctant, Tie Niu still happily agreed.
Poof.
The freed goldfish did not slap its tail and disappear, but buried its body in the water, revealing only one head, and it was looking at Tengyi.
"Go, go chase the living water." Teng Yi's nose was slightly sour, and he smiled and waved his hand at the goldfish, at this moment, he understood that the goldfish was the owner of the old mountain.
However, the goldfish remained indifferent, and looked at Teng Yi with its head exposed to the water in a daze.
"Village chief, this goldfish is so strange, just like a human." Seeing such a scene for the first time, Iron Bull only felt very surprised.
"Well, indeed." Teng Yi thought so deeply and waved his hand at the goldfish again.
"Go, don't let this thousand-year-old wait become empty." Teng Yi urged.
Although he knew that letting go of the mountain lord would make Teng Village face a dilemma, after knowing its story, Teng Yi couldn't convince himself to do so, and if the storm was coming, he would come.
