Chapter 107: A Blessing in Disguise (I)

Lu Huilan had already recovered, and gently wiped Zhang Shaofei's black and purple swollen lips with Chinese herbal water.

Lu Huilan's father, Li Xueru, was originally a rather personable gentleman, but at this time he was pacing back and forth restlessly.

He said to himself: "How is this good, it's been a long time, and after pouring so many medicines, why doesn't it work?" ”

Lu Huilan burst into tears.

Li Xueru said: "He is a great benefactor of our family, if he dies to save our family's Lan girl, how can he be worthy of others......"

When Lu Huilan heard her father say this, she cried loudly.

She ran to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva hanging in the hall, and saw A-Niang kowtowing and kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, praying loudly in her mouth.

Lu Huilan also followed Ah Niang, knelt in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, folded her hands, kowtowed, and prayed sincerely......

In the murmuring of Lu Huilan and her mother, one of Zhang Shaofei's little fingers moved slightly, and his eyelids trembled to open them.

Li Xueru was overjoyed and shouted: "Thank God, the benefactor is awake!" Finally woke up! ”

Zhang Shaofei's eyes opened a slit slightly, and he let out an "oh".

Lu Huilan recited "Amitabha", and bowed down in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

……

Zhang Shaofei saw that his body was fine, so he got up to say goodbye and wanted to go home. But because I hadn't eaten for a day, as soon as I stood up, I felt a little dizzy, and I couldn't stand up after shaking a few times.

Li Xueru hurriedly helped Zhang Shaofei and asked, "Ah Shaofei, where do you live?" Your father's name? ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "My family is in Taizhen Village, and my father's name is Zhang Jinzhao, who is no longer alive. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Jinzhao is your father, I really didn't see it, we are just a river away! You haven't recovered yet, sit down first, and I'll tell your aunt to pick up your mother. ”

Lu Huilan and her mother were making supper in the kitchen, and when she heard that the boy who saved the little girl was the son of Zhang Jinzhao in the quarantine village, she put down what she was doing, and her eyes stayed on Zhang Shaofei for a long time, staring at the little boy sitting on the chair.

For a long time, Lu Huilan's mother was like an old woman, and she kept muttering: "Really...... Really...... Like your daddy......"

After a long time, Lu Huilan's mother asked, "Is your mother doing well?" When you were born, your mother visited your mother! I remember that you are two years older than our Jialan girl, and you should be eight years old this year, right? ”

Zhang Shaofei nodded and said, "My mother has such a good memory, my mother will be eight years old in August." ”

"You see, I'm really ignorant, and I forgot to call your mother......" Lu Huilan and her mother didn't finish speaking, so she hurried to Taizhen Village.

When Lu Huilan and her mother came to Zhang's house, they saw Wang Shaoxiang kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the hall, offering incense and praying that her son would be safe and well, and that he would come back soon.

Seeing this, Lu Huilan's mother couldn't help choking in her throat, and said in a lost voice: "Sister-in-law, Zhang Shaofei is at my house......

Since Wang Shaoxiang asked Zhang Shaofei to pick vegetables in the field, he buried himself in weaving cloth at home all day long, and wanted to weave more cloth and sell it in the market, saving a few more money for Zhang Shaofei to go to a private school. Who knew that Zhang Shaofei was gone for most of the day and didn't come back.

At the beginning, Wang Shaoxiang thought that children were playful, so she didn't pay attention to it.

But when the sun was about to go down, and I didn't see my son come back, I started to get anxious, put down my work, and went out to find Zhang Shaofei.

As soon as Wang Shaoxiang arrived at the field, he saw no trace of Zhang Shaofei, and he was anxious to call Zhang Shaofei loudly, but he knew that it was too late to see the ridge clearly, so he stepped on the air and fell into the paddy field and sprained his foot.

Wang Shaoxiang limped home, wanting to change her clothes and go out to look for it, but her feet didn't obey the call, her sprained feet were swollen and painful, and she was unable to move.

Fortunately, Wang Shaoxiang's father is a famous Langzhong within a radius of dozens of miles, before she got married, she learned a medical skill with her father, and the family has some Chinese herbal medicines that are not used in a hurry when you are free.

Wang Shaoxiang endured the pain, found a few raw herbs for bruises and sprains, kneeled in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved the suffering and prayed, opened the door, and waited for his son's return......

Wang Shaoxiang suddenly heard Lu Huilan's mother's voice in a daze, "Zhang Shaofei is at my house......" It was as if she had seen light in the night, and hope in despair, so she hurriedly invited Lu Huilan and her mother into the house.

After Lu Huilan and her mother explained their intentions, they helped Wang Shaoxiang to see Zhang Shaofei.

……

Since Zhang Shaofei saved Lu Huilan that time, with the passage of time, Lu Huilan also had an inexplicable feeling for Zhang Shaofei, always like to run to his house when there is nothing to do, help Wang Shaoxiang do this and that, and always want to play with Zhang Shaofei.

Zhang Shaofei and his mother also like Lu Huilan, and often praise her in front of her son, she is so diligent and sensible at a young age, she is worthy of being a child born in a scholarly family.

In the autumn of August, Lu Huilan asked Zhang Shaofei to go to the mountain behind the village to play, and met Wenzi in the mountain to herd cattle on the mountain. So, the three of them drove the big buffalo of Wenzi's house together and grazed it on the hill behind the village.

"Sister Lan, look at the cow, let's go pick mountain fruits."

Like arrows, the two ran towards the mountainside. Zhang Shaofei and Wenzi took off the coat they were wearing and threw it on the lawn while running.

Lu Huilan walked over and picked up their clothes and put them beside her, squatting alone in the grass. At this time, she saw that the mountain flowers on the ground were in full bloom, and she picked many light purple flowers and tied them into a bunch, and then tied them to the braids, and sang a little song in a low voice.

Come in August

Osmanthus is blooming

Ahh

In front of the hillside, I saw a shepherd boy riding on the back of an ox

Holding a flute in hand

It's all about loving brothers, and I want to be pretty sisters

Fall, yes, yes, yo, hi

……

After Lu Huilan finished singing, a quiet smile appeared on her pretty face. The whole person looks like an orchid grass born from the earth and from the depths of the valley, looking pure and handsome.

Zhang Shaofei and Wenzi picked a lot of yellow buds and longevity fruits, bayberry and other fruits back, and when they saw Lu Huilan, who was as handsome as a flower in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then, Wenzi moved smartly, pulled Zhang Shaofei's hand, and said poetically:

The blue sky is clear,

The thrush shouted to go to the forest.

Flowers should bloom brightly,

That teenager wasn't affectionate.

As soon as Wenzi finished speaking, he ran to his cow to herd the cow like a smoke.

Only Zhang Shaofei and Lu Huilan are left here. I saw Zhang Shaofei hand Lu Huilan's favorite bayberry to her, and took Yaxing to also come to a song:

Flowers bloom all over Qingshan Gang,

One race comes and one is strong.

Ask the one I love,

Which love is in my heart.

Lu Huilan saw that a bunch of purple flowers she tied casually today was tied to the tip of her braid, which made the person she liked poetic, and she actually used poetry to convey her feelings, secretly happy, but also a little worried.

At this time, I saw Lu Huilan looking happy and worried, her demeanor charming, her eyes were like autumn water, and she was delicate.

Lu Huilan saw Zhang Shaofei looking at her intently, a flush appeared on her delicate face, she lowered her head shyly, chewed the green plum in her mouth, and said angrily: "You...... Bullying ......"

After Lu Huilan finished speaking, she laughed as she walked, leaving behind a string of silver bells.

Zhang Shaofei looked at her back, swept away like a breeze, and there seemed to be bursts of dark fragrance coming to his nose, making his heart beat like a deer......

He hurried after her and asked, "Tell me the truth?" ”

She said, "How can the budding stamens bloom before they bloom?" ”

“……”

What an ignorant pair of teenagers! On the hill full of aura, they have left their vigorous footprints since childhood, leaving the innocence and precious good times of ignorant childhood.

……

The sun and the moon are reincarnated, and in the blink of an eye, the annual Spring Festival has arrived again.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the fire dragon dance in the neighboring village Jinli, Lu Huilan asked Zhang Shaofei to dance the fire dragon.

Jinli Village, adjacent to Taizhen Village, is the largest village in Qiu County, with a population of 10,000.

This land has a long history, the incense of the Qin and Han dynasties stretches endlessly, and there is a nine-curved river next to the village, called the water of clouds and mist.

This river from south to north originates from the majestic Yunwu Mountain Range, and the water of the Yunwu Mountain flows through the Xijiang River and flows into the sea.

The rippling river adds a bit of aura to the land on both sides of the river, watering out the beautiful customs on both sides of the river, and giving birth to generations of Qiu County people.

At the bend after the big river leaves the village, a flat river, the trees are verdant, and an antique ancient temple stands in the middle.

This ancient temple is called Zenlong Temple, which was originally built on Yunwu Mountain by the monk Dinghui in the early Tang Dynasty. Later, Zhang Wancheng, a villager from the village, built a water reservoir at the water ring next to the village to water the fields. And the Chanlong Temple built on the Yunwu Mountain was moved here, which is the earliest temple in Qiu County.

Sacred events are held here.

The flame of the fire dragon dance in Jinli Village is to receive the fire in the Zenlong Temple, which is called the holy fire.

Zhang Shaofei and Lu Huilan walked along the Avenue of Chanlong Temple, quietly admiring the beautiful natural scenery and cultural landscapes along the way.

Before I knew it, it was more than eight o'clock in the evening, and a bright moon rose from the sky, and the whole village began to be lively and boiling.

I saw the men, women and children in the village wearing festive costumes and going to the Zenlong Temple to welcome the statue back to the village.

In the sound of chanting by the eminent monks, the respected elders of the village use the holy flame (tinder) that leads the lantern from the Zenlong Temple to light the fire dragon that is erected in the square in front of the temple. Then respectfully take the idol out of the temple, and be carried by a special person, and twenty young and strong young men selected from each workshop are responsible for carrying their respective fire dragons.

"The Fire Dragon Dance has officially begun!" Under the order of the main specialist, the lion dance, the drum music played in unison, the firecrackers whined, the colorful flags fluttered, and the fireworks soared into the sky.

But seeing the awakening lion open the way, behind the statue hall, people danced the fire dragon and marched towards the village. The scene is grand and magnificent, a magnificent picture of the peaceful and prosperous world, and the fire dragon in Jinli is different red.

Led by the lantern festival plaques of their respective square names, people followed the procession of the fire dragon dance to the village. Each dragon has six lads who take turns dancing.

I saw them shouting loudly while spinning the dragon high with forked iron rods!

Lu Huilan looked at it curiously, wondering why the people dancing the fire dragon were spinning the fire dragon high, still shouting loudly, and didn't dare to ask Zhang Shaofei.
