Chapter 3: Digging ..... Grave digging?

After cooking and eating with Uncle Liu, Granny Wu was responsible for sending Uncle Liu back to the town, while Zhang Heng drove the lambs out again.

As soon as he came to the valley, he couldn't wait to take off his clothes and jump into the pool, checking the changes on his body, because Aunt Liu gave birth to a child before, Zhang Heng didn't have time to check the changes in himself, but now after a closer look, he found that his skin had a feeling as warm as jade, and the strength of his arms also felt extremely great.

Walking to the boulder next to him, the boulder that is difficult for adults to lift, Zhang Heng tried it, squatted down, sank into the dantian, and after a light drink, the stone slowly left the ground, and Zhang Heng's little face was also red, almost three inches from the ground, he dropped the stone, sat on the ground and gasped, but there was a cute smile on his face.

Such a big stone is close to two hundred catties, it is not easy for an adult to pick it up, let alone a child, looking at the lamb that is still spreading joy on the grass in the distance, Zhang Heng comfortably returned to the place where he used to lie down, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, humming an unknown ballad.

The years have passed, time has passed, three years have passed, Zhang Heng is more than ten years old, the previous chubby face has disappeared, replaced by a young but a little resolute face, almost one meter four or five height is not so easy to ignore in the crowd.

As in the past, today is still the twilight hour, Zhang Heng drove the already small scale of the sheep, and now there are more than forty sheep, passing by the old willow tree at the entrance of the village, looking at the big yellow dog that has disappeared, and sighing slightly.

I don't know what happened to Dade, Zhang Heng thought of the pale little face in his mind, shook his head, drove the sheep back to the sheepfold, and walked in the direction of Uncle Liu's house.

Dade's full name Cao Dade is Uncle Liu's son, because Uncle Liu is the son-in-law of the door, so the child follows his mother's surname, this name is still obtained by Zhang Heng, because the first sentence of the child was born said like that, his father was scared enough, and later when he was named, his father said that the child lacked virtue in the five elements, and he wanted to bring a German character, Zhang Heng thought, since it is a lack of virtue, then add a big character, so Cao Dade's name comes from this, but this child is ill-fated, and it doesn't take long for him to often have a high fever, talking nonsense, and after a day, he is basically sleeping most of the time, and when he wakes up, he is basically hungry and wakes up。

When Zhang Heng was eight and a half years old, the old gentleman who taught in the village left, saying that he wanted to go to the outside world to take a look again, Zhang Heng also longed for the outside world, but when he heard the old gentleman say that the outside world was very dangerous, and if he didn't pay attention, he would lose his life.

Came to the door of Uncle Liu's house in a leisurely manner, and Zhang Heng shouted, "Uncle Liu, has Dade woken up?"

There was no reply inside, Zhang Heng was also strange, so he came to the door of the house and looked inside, only to see Cao Dade, who was only three years old, sitting on the bed, with two big eyes blazing, staring at the doctor who examined him, and the pale face in the past has disappeared, replaced by a ruddy, chubby little face, Zhang Heng, who was overjoyed, wanted to walk over and pinch it, but when he saw the doctor, he still stopped and stood next to Uncle Liu and watched the doctor's movements curiously.

Zhang Heng didn't move, but Cao Dade, who was sitting on the bed, was not honest, and when he saw Zhang Heng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at him angrily, muttering in his mouth.

Zhang Heng scratched his head, pulled Uncle Liu's clothes and asked, "Uncle Liu, what's wrong with Dade, why do I think he looks at me unpleasantly?"

"No, this kid's head is not good, you just don't pay attention to it, they are all three years old, and they can't say a word in their mouths, and they don't know what's wrong. ”

Zhang Heng told Uncle Liu that Dade had the qualifications to cultivate immortals, but with Cao Dade's reaction later, Uncle Liu gradually forgot about this thing, and Zhang Heng came to teach him to speak every time he woke up by Cao Dade, and he had seen it many times in the past, but there was no time like this, and he was stared at by a child a little weak-hearted.

Zhang Heng rubbed his face, squeezed out a smile, walked to the front and said to Cao Dade, "This is your father, this is your mother, I am your brother Zhang Heng." Zhang Heng didn't know how many times he said these words, the child was ignorant before, smiling with food in his mouth, but this time the result surprised him.

The little kid first called Uncle Liu respectfully Daddy, and then turned his head to Aunt Liu and called Niang, which made the two overjoyed, and Lang Zhong had already stood up and looked at Cao Dade with a smile.

Cao Dade quickly turned his head to look at Zhang Heng, but this time it was not with a smile, but his eyes were almost raised, his eyebrows jumped and jumped, one hand crossed his waist, and the other pointed at Zhang Heng, and said loudly, "You are my brother? You fart, you goddamn thief, I am your ancestor, you steal my innate vitality, you are shameless, you are obscene." ”

The corners of Zhang Heng's eyes twitched, and he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, but Cao Dade still didn't know the shock of everyone, and still pointed at Zhang Heng with one hand, spitting fragrant mouth, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were already stupid, and even the two small iron balls held by Lang Zhong in his hand fell unconsciously, and muttered, "Little boy, it really is, a genius of Tianzhong." He didn't care about what the consultation fee was, so he turned around and hurriedly ran out, while Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu, and Zhang Heng stared at Cao Dade dumbfounded.

Perhaps sensing the strangeness of the atmosphere in the house, Cao Dade turned around and looked around, blinked his big bright eyes a few times, and suddenly crimson appeared on his face, as if he was embarrassed, and sat down on the bed again, squirming and pinching, as if he was a big girl.

Zhang Heng calmed down, leaned over to Cao Dade's side and asked, "Dade, what is that innate qi you are talking about?"

Hearing what Zhang Heng said, Cao Dade's face tended to change again, but he quickly noticed something unusual, and quickly turned his head to stare at other places, ignoring Zhang Heng's question, looking at this embarrassing atmosphere, Zhang Heng walked to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, pulled the two of them out.

"Uncle Liu, let me tell you, I don't know what's going on in this situation, but as I told you before, Mr. said that this kind of child has the qualifications to cultivate immortals, and today this kind of child should have awakened. Zhang Heng said to Uncle Liu with a chattering expression.

Looking at the blank eyes of the two, Zhang Heng suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the two, let's have a child, just gave birth to a child and said something like that, but three years have passed, the second sentence said a word of father, followed by a burst of scolding, that series of clear words, so that the old couple are still doubting what they have given birth to. But the days went on, and the old couple turned their heads and wanted Zhang Heng to pay attention.

Zhang Heng thought about it and went back to the house, but found that Cao Dade was already asleep, and the three of them had to wait for Cao Dade to wake up.

On the branches of the moon, the three of them had already eaten, and there was a cry in the house, Aunt Liu took out the white porridge that had already been cooked, Zhang Heng walked in, and Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were lying at the door listening to the movement inside, and soon there was a burst of sucking and drinking porridge inside, only to hear Zhang Heng's amiable tone inside.

"Dade, do you still know me?" asked Zhang Heng.

"Babble," Cao Dade replied.

Zhang Heng was speechless, and continued to feed the porridge while patiently saying, "Dade, do you have the qualification to cultivate immortals?"

"Babble," Cao Dade replied.

Zhang Heng was even more speechless, he remembered the scolding that this kid had given him in the afternoon, and he suspected that this kid was pretending to be stupid, scratching his head and not knowing what to ask, suddenly his eyes lit up, he remembered that this kid didn't leave any innate qi in the previous few words, and he asked tentatively.

"Dade, what is the innate qi?"

This time, Cao Dade didn't speak, but grabbed Zhang Heng indiscriminately with his fleshy little hands, and put his little face on Zhang Heng's face with a mouth full of rice grains, babbling and laughing.

It was only at this time that Zhang Heng felt that Cao Dade should be the same as before, and he couldn't speak again, but now he just eats and doesn't sleep anymore, and the situation of eating when he wakes up and sleeping when he is full has also changed.

Zhang Heng walked out of the room with Cao Dade in his arms, and sat on the small table in the courtyard under the moonlight with Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu.

"Zhang Heng, uncle, please have something to ask you for. ”

Hearing Uncle Liu say something to beg you as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhang Hengda was shocked and hurriedly said, "Uncle Liu, I treat you as an elder, just say anything, don't say ask,"

Hearing Zhang Heng's words, Uncle Liu also breathed a sigh of relief, and his face looked good, "Heng'er, Uncle and your aunt don't know what's going on with Dade, but this child is destined for you, you see that the midwife is what you are looking for, and she is not so quiet in our arms on weekdays, and even she talks to you the most." Saying this, Uncle Liu also showed an embarrassed smile on his face, he knew that although he said the most, he didn't have a good word.

Then he said, "I want this child to live with you in the future, and you two can come here for dinner every day from now on." Your aunt and I are not blessed to accept this immortal cultivation qualification, you help me carry it on weekdays, uncle, I will cook for you, you see if it will work. ”

Looking at the two of them with nervous faces, Zhang Heng was also speechless, but when the elders ordered, he couldn't refuse casually, so he had to agree to come down, thinking that he would send Cao Dade back when he was a little older in the future.

"Uncle Liu, I'll help you bring that Dade in the future, you just take care of my food. Zhang Heng said.

Hearing Zhang Heng's promise, the two of them were also relieved, but there was also a look of reluctance on their faces, although this child was weirdly tight, but no matter how he said it, he was also his child, and they had been together for more than three years.

Watching Zhang Heng and the two walk towards the other end of the village, the two opened their mouths and didn't know what to say.

In the moonlight in the distance, Zhang Heng looked at Cao Dade, who was curiously looking at the surrounding scenery, and asked again, "Dade, what do you like?"

I saw Cao Dade suddenly say in a milky voice, "I like to dig graves, and there are many treasures." ”

Hearing Cao Dade's words, Zhang Heng's hand shook and almost threw the unlucky child out, while Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, who were listening to the conversation between the two in the rear, quickly disappeared with reluctance on their faces, and even showed a look of relief.

"Dade, digging a grave is a very immoral thing, you finally took a better name, you can't do this thing that loses virtue in the future. Zhang Heng said matter-of-factly, the shadows of the two of them were getting farther and farther away in the moonlight, and the sound of beast roars sounded in the forest outside the village.
