On this morning, the god Apollo poured his warm sunlight on the mountain of dew.

Huineng said to the Li family: "Mother, you are resting here, I will go up the mountain to collect medicine now." ”

Li Shi scratched the itch and asked, "Neng'er, where are you going to collect medicine?" ”

"Mother, Tianlu Mountain is a big medicine storehouse, there must be mountain herbs that can cure your skin diseases." Hui Neng said nothing, picked up the back basket that was placed in the corner of the hole, and went out.

Besides, early in the morning, Liang Er, a hunter in the village, came to invite Liang Yaocheng and his son to go out hunting.

"Ah Lian, Daddy and your brother went out hunting with the second uncle, you have breakfast and take these rice, oil and salt vegetables to Huineng's mother and son." Liang Yaocheng instructed Liang Jinlian when he was leaving.

"Daddy, Brother, don't worry about going hunting, I will deliver these things this morning." After Liang Jinlian waited for her father and brother to leave, she made a fire and cooked a pot of sweet potatoes, and then began to freshen up and dress up.

After dressing up, he didn't care about breakfast, so he filled a bag of sweet potatoes from the pot, divided the bag of rice, oil and salt vegetables and the bag of sweet potatoes into two bags, locked the door, and sent it to Huineng's mother and son.

When Liang Jinlian came to the fork in the mountain in front of Luodong Village, she saw Huineng appearing at the fork in the road with a small basket on her back from a distance.

"Morning! Brother Aneng, did you eat breakfast? As soon as Liang Jinlian saw Huineng, she cordially greeted her.

"Not yet! Sister Alian, morning! Huineng looked at her and said.

"Brother Aneng, let's eat a sweet potato first." Liang Jinlian said as she took out a steaming sweet potato from her bag and handed it to him.

Huineng took the sweet potato with both hands, and broke it in half with his hands despite the heat, the purple-red sweet potato revealed the purple-red flesh, and a sweet and fragrant taste was refreshing, which was really a bit mouth-watering.

Huineng blew off the hot air with his mouth, tasted it elegantly, and praised it: "It's so fragrant and sweet!" ”

"Brother Aneng, carrying a small backpack so early, is this going to collect medicine?" Liang Jinlian looked at Huineng and said.

"Yes!" Huineng nodded.

"Brother Aneng, I'll go with you." Liang Jinlian asked.

"No need," Huineng waved his hand, "It's more convenient to go up the mountain to collect medicine, climb the rock and go down the gully." Besides, you don't know which herbs I'm going to pick. You take this bag to my mother first, and then come with me another day." ”

"This ......," Liang Jinlian scratched her head and said, "I'll listen to you today, don't forget to take me next time!" ”

"Okay, I'll take you next time." After Huineng finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Go, my mother is in the stone room." ”

"Brother Aneng, you go to collect medicine and climb the rock to go down the gully, but you have to be careful!" Liang Jinlian looked at Huineng uneasily.

Huineng confidently said: "Sister Lian, don't worry, I used to collect firewood in the mountains, climb rocks and go down the ravines, and I am familiar with it." ”

"Brother Aneng, you come back early, my aunt and I are waiting for you to come back in the stone room." Liang Jinlian had no choice but to separate from Huineng in a daze and head towards Shimen.

Perhaps Liang Jinlian lost her mother since she was a child and lacked maternal love, so she felt a sense of intimacy when she saw Li.

"Ah Lian, it's really heartfelt to bring a big bag of things to our mother and son so early!" Li saw Liang Jinlian carrying two bags of things in the stone room and staggered out.

Liang Jinlian hurriedly stepped forward to help Li in, put down the two bags of things, and then took out a sweet potato that was still steaming, broke it in half and handed it to Li, and said kindly: "Auntie, please try our home-grown sweet potatoes."

Li took the sweet potato, took a bite, and praised it: "The sweet potatoes grown in the mountains are sweet and soft, and they are really delicious." ”

Liang Jinlian said understandingly: "Auntie, then you eat a few more, I will go and put away these rice, oil, salt and vegetables first, clean them, wash the rice and cook the rice later, and wait for Brother Aneng to come back from collecting medicine." ”

"Ah Lian, I'm so embarrassed for you." Li said embarrassedly.

"Auntie, what are you talking about! My father's life was saved by Brother Aneng, and I can't repay it too much. Liang Jinlian thanked the pictorial and went into the kitchen to work.

Li Shi looked at Liang Jinlian's back and said thoughtfully: "What a good woman, if only you could ......"

"Auntie, what are you thinking?" Liang Jinlian came out of the kitchen after finishing her work, and saw the sweet potato in Li's hand that was broken in half, and the sugar water was dripping down like a pearl with a broken thread, but Li didn't know it.

Liang Jinlian's question pulled Li Shi back to the reality in front of him from the imagination in the sky, and quickly sucked the dripping sweet potato sugar water with his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "Ah Lian, I'm really embarrassed, I remembered some family matters just now, and when I got distracted, I even forgot to eat sweet potatoes." ”

"Really? Auntie, what family affairs do you think of? Can you tell me about it? Liang Jinlian said along with the words.

"Yes" After Li finished eating the sweet potato in his hand, he lifted the corner of his clothes and wiped his mouth, and then told Liang Jinlian about her family affairs-

Neng'er's father's name is Lu Xingyao, a native of Fanyang, Hebei, and his grandfather Lu Zushang is an official of the Tang Dynasty - Yingzhou Assassin Shi, who was wrongfully killed by the imperial court.

Although he can't be a big man in the world for ten years, he also has a not very small official to do it-Fan Yang Prefect.

Xing Yao is usually honest and honest, upright, and his brilliant talent provokes the jealousy of his colleagues, he neither clings to the powerful, nor knows how to be welcomed by officialdom, and does not slip around and shoot horses, so he suffers a big loss at this point. He only knew how to be diligent and love the people, severely punished evil, offended the powerful people in the DPRK and China, framed him so much that he lost his black hat, and was relegated to the desolate land of Lingnan Xinzhou.

Xing Yao came to settle down in Xialu Village at the foot of Longshan Mountain, and soon heard the news of his mother's death. Just when he was extremely lost in his life, he got my father's care.

My father's name is Li Hexiang, he is an old man in the countryside of Jiulang Village, and the two of them talked a lot, and my father saw that Xing Yao was talented and had a good character, so he promised me to marry him as his wife......

After I married Lu Xingtao, he was originally talented, young and ambitious, and he wholeheartedly wanted to serve the court, benefit the people, and become a famous figure in history. However, the catastrophe in the officialdom actually changed his mind. What fame, career, and treasure, in his eyes are like dung, and he just wants to hug his son early and enjoy the joy of family life day and night.

"That'...... And then? Liang Jinlian saw that Li said this, and she couldn't help but look at her and ask.

Li looked at Liang Jinlian, and then said, After getting married, we settled down in Xialu Village. There are beautiful mountains and green mountains, my two husbands and wives are farming and weaving, and the husband sings and the wife follows, and the life is at ease.

But there is one thing that makes him feel annoyed and regretful: we have been married for 20 years and have never had children. At first, we weren't in too much of a hurry, we felt that we were still young and had a lot of opportunities, plus he spent most of his energy on his career at that time. But later, the headwinds in the sea made him disheartened with his fame and career, and he wanted to get his son to continue the cigarettes as soon as possible.

However, after looking forward to it for so many years, there is still no queen, can this not be anxious for him who is over forty years old? Men regard the inheritance of the family as their own important responsibility, and they all pay attention to "there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great". As a man, it is very humiliating to not be able to glorify his ancestors and continue to smoke cigarettes.

Therefore, he was so anxious that he personally painted a statue of Guanyin to worship at home, and also invited a Buddhist scripture, "Guanyin Bodhisattva Pumen Pin", for me to read. Because it is said in the "Pumen Pin", "If there is a woman who desires a man, and worships and makes offerings to Guanyin Bodhisattva, she will give birth to a man of good fortune and wisdom, and if she desires a woman, she will give birth to a woman who is upright and good-looking." Therefore, our husband and wife bow down every day and read the Bible devoutly. For several years, we have pinned Pan'er's urgent hopes on Guanyin Bodhisattva.

When Li said this, he smiled at Liang Jinlian and said: Don't say it, I don't know if Guanyin Bodhisattva has shown mercy, or if his son is shining brightly, maybe a well-wisher always has a good reward. On a summer night, I had an unusually peculiar dream: in the dream, I saw a colorful auspicious cloud falling from the sky down the courtyard, and in the mist of the clouds, a towering Bodhi tree grew, and the red-crowned white crane flew around the tree, and the flowers bloomed under the tree, and the fragrance was dense.

When I woke up, I felt sour water rising up in my throat, and I lowered my head and spit it out to the ground. Subsequently, I felt something in my stomach stirring, as if I was pregnant.

When I got up early in the morning, I told Xing Yan about this strange thing.
