Zhu Mianmian, who was alone, was very anxious, and her father and younger brother, who were supposed to come back yesterday, were still nowhere to be seen after a whole night. She pleaded with Chen Cheng and asked Chen Cheng to take her to the Cloud Pavilion to find someone. Chen Cheng couldn't screw Zhu Mianmian, and he was also a little worried about Zhu Jingshan's family, so he packed up his things and prepared to take Zhu Mianmian down the mountain.

Just as Chen Cheng was holding Hao Yun and leading Zhu Mianmian to go down the mountain, Zhu Jingshan slowly walked up the mountain with Zhu Changchuan in his arms, but Zhu Zhu was not seen beside him.

Zhu Mianmian didn't care about the mud on the mountain road, and rushed to Zhu Jingshan with a scream, and the scream woke up Zhu Changchuan who was still asleep.

"Wow!" The piercing cry startled Zhu Mianmian in place, but in an instant, her expression changed from surprise to happiness. It was the first time she had heard her brother's voice, and although it was a little noisy, she was still very happy in her heart.

Zhu Mianmian looked behind Zhu Jingshan and asked, "Dad, why didn't my mother come back with you?"

Zhu Jingshan was speechless for a while, thinking that Zhu Zhu, who was lying in the soul-nourishing coffin at this time, didn't know how to answer, so he could only prevaricate: "Your mother has something to do, and it will take a few days to come back." ”

Zhu Mianmian replied softly, a little disappointed.

The same cry fell on Chen Cheng's ears but it had a completely different meaning, Chen Cheng set his eyes on Zhu Jingshan, and Zhu Jingshan nodded imperceptibly, confirming the conjecture in Chen Cheng's heart.

Hao Yun also understood the situation, and buried his little face in Chen Cheng's chest, not daring to look at it more.

Hao Ren had been returning to the spirit talisman for many days at this time, and he would not come back until the unitary time. Chen Cheng was depressed at this time and had no one to talk to, so he could only return to the cave mansion in a huff, and only wait for Hao Ren to come back in the evening and tell him about Zhu Jingshan's family.

Zhu Mianmian begged for a long time and finally hugged his younger brother from Zhu Jingshan's arms, and Zhu Changchuan, who had drunk breast milk, looked much better than before, and his originally bloodless face was flushed. Zhu Mianmian hugged the doll in a good way, and soon coaxed the crying Zhu Changchuan to calm down.

That night, Zhu Jingshan wanted to open his mouth several times to tell Zhu Mianmian the truth, but looking at his daughter's happy face, he had to swallow back when the words came to his mouth. Looking at this harmonious scene in front of him, how could Zhu Jingshan bear to open his mouth and say to Zhu Mianmian that her mother may never come back.

He lulled one of his children to sleep, and then went out of the cave and stood in the open space in front of the door looking up at the starry sky.

Sadness was written into Zhu Jingshan's eyes, and the night breeze on Fengxia Mountain could not be blown away.

Zhu Jingshan didn't know where he should go, and for the first time in many years, he no longer expected the sun to rise tomorrow as usual.

"I have no regrets about my choice. Don't bother to wake me up, and raise Mianmian and Chuan'er well. Zhu Zhu's words lingered in Zhu Jingshan's ears, and he didn't even hear his wife say this with his own ears.

The boundless night shrouded Zhu Jingshan, and he smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Zhu Zhu, you left the clearest steps, but I can no longer find the way forward. How can I live without you?"

There was a faint light in his eyes that went out, and the name of that light was called by the world—expectation.

Hao Ren and Chen Cheng were lying on the bed, Chen Cheng finally found someone to talk to, and told the man next to him all about 1510.

"So, Zhu Zhu finally chose to exchange himself for their son's sobriety?"

Chen Cheng's eyes were red under the candlelight, and she couldn't tell whether it was the lights shining or feeling sad, she said slowly: "If our luck encounters this matter, I will choose it this way." ”

"Of course I know, no matter what you choose, I will always be on your side!" Hao Ren said, hugging Chen Cheng and Hao Yun tighter.

At this time, Hao Yun was pretending to sleep, but he was thinking about the two poor children next door. A sensible one and one who has not yet been weaned have unknowingly become a motherless child. Didn't there be a song in the previous life, the motherless child is like a grass, Hao Yun seems to see two little seedlings in the wind in his mind.

......

Hao Ren went to work very early at the Spirit Rune of the Immortal Palace, and he was about to go out before dawn, leaving only Chen Cheng at home.

After the New Year, Chen Cheng began to cultivate with his heart again, and most of the people in the Jade Immortal Realm were like this. After all, if you don't cultivate for a few days, it won't have any effect on your cultivation. However, there are also people who are obsessed with cultivation and do not stop practicing 365 days a year.

After the end of the Dharma era, there was a bottleneck in the jade immortal world, and many people no longer only pursued the length of life, but began to care about the width of life.

All kinds of novelties have sprung up after the first year of the fairy calendar, such as shadow walls, akashi lamps and the like that belong to these "mushrooms after the rain".

Chen Cheng was cultivating at this time, and suddenly heard Zhu Jingshan's knock at the door, and after calming down, Chen Cheng came to the door.

"Chen Daoyou, there is a lot of disturbance. Zhu Jingshan said with some embarrassment, since the Zhu Zhu incident, he has often troubled Hao Ren's family, and he is quite unhappy in his heart. But now that the situation is like this, he is also unaccompanied on this Fengxia Mountain, and after thinking about it, only Chen Cheng can let him trust him with peace of mind.

"I'm going to go out, my two sons and daughters ....."

Without waiting for Zhu Jingshan to finish speaking, Chen Cheng said briskly: "I know, you just have to get busy, just leave Mianmian and Changchuan to me." She was mentally prepared last night, Zhu Jingshan is in this situation, she can't help anything else, but she takes the child, one is also brought, and three are also brought. Not to mention that Hao Yun has always been obedient and has never let Chen Cheng worry too much. When she asked Zhu Zhu for advice before, she felt strange why Zhu Zhu was troubled, but she had never encountered it when she was raising Hao Yun.

In the end, she could only attribute all the reasons to Hao Yun being a worry-free doll.

Hao Yun is now a monk, and although he can't say everything about his body, he is not far behind. As a doll with a ripe soul, he has his own pursuits.

After a while, Zhu Jingshan took his own daughter who was barely holding Zhu Changchuan and sent him to Chen Cheng's cave mansion, and instructed Mianmian a few times to listen to Aunt Chen's words, Zhu Mianmian was already very familiar with Chen Cheng's family at this time, and sat on the stone bench by himself and asked, "Dad, are you going to pick up your mother?"

Zhu Jingshan rubbed Zhu Mianmian's little head and said affirmatively: "That's right, my father is going to pick up my mother back today." ”

"Then I'll wait for you here obediently, you must go and come back quickly!"

Zhu Jingshan didn't answer, and after saying goodbye to Chen Cheng, he turned around and walked out of the cave.

Chen Cheng led the Zhu family sisters and brothers to the bedroom, and said to Zhu Mianmian: "Aunt Chen wants to cultivate, you take good care of the two younger brothers." ”

Zhu Mianmian gently put Zhu Changchuan beside Hao Yun, climbed onto the stone bed and guarded the two of them and said, "Aunt Chen, you can go and busy with you, I will take care of the two younger brothers." ”

Looking at the two little dolls in front of him, Zhu Mianmian made a comparison, held his chin and muttered, "It seems that Brother Hao Yun is still prettier!"

Hao Yun turned his head to look at the little black charcoal next to him, and he was quite proud in his heart.

After Zhu Jingshan went down the mountain, he did not go to the Yunzhong Pavilion first, but went back to his tea shop first, and after he gave some instructions to the guys in the shop, he hurriedly walked out of the shop.

didn't leave immediately, Zhu Jingshan turned around and looked up at the signboard of his shop, his eyes full of reluctance.

The fat proprietress with a big black scab on the corner of her mouth in the grocery store next door hadn't seen Zhu Jingshan for a few days, and shouted to him at the top of her voice: "Old Zhu! I heard that your daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for you! Do you want to give us a few catties of good tea to celebrate!"

"yes! How can such a good thing not be celebrated?"

The neighbors who knew each other all around began to coax, but Zhu Jingshan didn't have the heart to chat with them at this time, and left quickly after coping with it.

"Lao Zhu, what's going on, usually swollen and enthusiastic, why don't you ignore us today?"

Zhu Jingshan's shop is separated from the Yunzhong Pavilion by three streets, and the Yunzhong Pavilion has not yet been completed when Zhu Mianmian was born. Shortly after he left the street where his shop was located, he appeared in the Footman Alley.

It is said to be an alley, but in fact, there is only one family surnamed Meng

I heard that this ancestor of the Meng family handed down an exercise, called "Shaking the Mountain", this exercise does not cultivate the vitality but only the body, it is said that the practice to the highest depth, the monk can move mountains and reclaim the sea with only the body. It's a pity that this exercise is somewhat incomplete, and the highest depth of the cultivation of several generations of Mengjia monks is only slightly more powerful than that of ordinary monks in the Jade Body Realm.

However, it is extremely easy to get started with this exercise, and it can be said that there is no threshold at all, and even ordinary people who have not yet settled down can practice.

Relying on the particularity of the exercises, the Meng family opened a footman hall here, accepted a few mortals who had no money to enter the immortal cultivation academy, and taught them this "Mountain Shaking Technique". Since then, all those who have heavy work have been taken over by this Mengjia footman into their own business. It's not that those Jade Body Realm monks can't carry things, it's just that these monks always feel that they are orthodox monks, and they often disdain to do such laborious things.

After this back and forth, the reputation of the Mengjia Footman Hall opened up in Liuyezhou, and there were many branches in just a few years.

The place where Zhu Jingshan came today is the beginning of the Mengjia Porter Hall, and I don't know when this alley was changed to Porter Lane, and he came here today mainly to hire a few porters.

Soon, Zhu Jingshan negotiated the price with the proprietor of the Meng family, and after putting down the deposit, Zhu Jingshan rushed to the next place.

Out of the footman alley, Zhu Jingshan didn't turn, he went straight through another alley, and saw that he was about to walk to the door of the Yunzhong Pavilion, but he turned around and walked elsewhere.

On this day, Zhu Jingshan didn't know how many places he ran, but in the end, he didn't set foot in the Cloud Pavilion.

At sunset, Zhu Jingshan returned to Fengxia Mountain alone.

Zhu Mianmian looked at Zhu Jingshan, who was walking towards her alone, and felt so disappointed, she felt that she had been deceived. Obviously, I have taken good care of my brother, why hasn't my mother come back?
