Volume 1: Three Thousand Ukiyo-e, Chapter 2: Old Dreams from the Past (Preface 2)
Forget their worries and collect their bodies, and bury Lin Jingzhi and his wife together under a peach blossom tree in the back mountain.
In a short period of time, the already gray hair of Forget Worry is all white.
He sat in front of the tomb, called the boy to bring Lin Xiao, and took it and gently held it in his arms.
While gently patting his little quilt, he said, "This Lin family, you are the only one left, and Xiao Er can only follow me, an old man, in the future." ”
He looked up at the tomb where the two were buried together, and sighed, overnight, Lin Jingzhi and his wife both passed away, which is really embarrassing for the impermanence of the world.
"Let's not wade into the dirty and muddy waters of the troubled times, just stay on this mountain in peace, hatred and resentment are all floating smoke in the red dust and troubled times, you are just a child, what can you do? Grow up in peace and spend your life in peace and stability. ”
He raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes and said, "In the future, you will no longer be Lin Xiao, you will change your name to Zhu'an, I hope that in your life, all you are chasing is peace and security......
The child's eyes were as bright as stars, he didn't understand anything, he didn't feel sad, and his eyebrows and eyes were like the woman who always smiled brightly in his memory.
○
Thirty years ago, Runaway Valley.
He was not a medical immortal at that time, and he did not have his own Forget Worry Mountain.
What he had, but she was when she was younger.
A young girl in Tsing Yi ran on a forest path leading to Xiaoyao Valley, carrying a small medicine basket full of herbs, and she shouted breathlessly: "Hey~ Senior brother, you go slowly, wait for me!"
There was a tall young man in Tsing Yi in front of him, and when he heard the shouting, he really stopped.
It is to forget his worries, he has grown in size, he has studied medicine since he was a child, he always has a faint bookish air on his body, there is a kind of sympathetic warmth between his eyebrows, and his eyes are as gentle as a morning stream.
He grabbed the strap of his medicine basket, turned his head to look at the girl who was running slowly behind him, his eyes were a little more spoiled, but he complained: "I told you not to come out to collect medicine, you didn't listen, and you dragged me back!"
The girl was dressed in a plain blue long skirt, with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, which made people's hearts warm.
After approaching, he muttered unconvinced: "What do you say! I didn't drag my senior brother back, but just now I saw that a clove with good quality can just be used for medicine, but it grows on the cliff, which is a little difficult to pick, so I delayed for a while." ”
"It's hard to pick it, and fall down carefully!" he frowned, feeling that his tone was too eager, and said again: "If you are injured, I have to carry you back, it's really troublesome!"
Forget the sorrow and came over with a smile, "Anyway, senior brother will definitely not ignore me." ”
Forget Worry snorted softly, "Let's go, it's getting dark, if you don't go back, it's time for the master to break his mind again!"
"Good. ”
The teacher of the two is the world-famous miracle doctor - Xiaoyaozi, it is rumored that there is a miraculous medical skill of the flesh and bones of the living dead, although the rumors are too exaggerated, but the medical skills are rare in the world, and can afford the reputation of the miracle doctor.
Xiaoyaozi is close to old age, there is no man and half woman under his knees, and he adopted two orphans by chance, and gave them two names, forgetting worries and forgetting sorrows, hoping that they would be carefree and beautiful.
Although they are not related by blood, they are treated like parents and children, carefully cared for, and carefully taught medical skills, and the three masters and apprentices live happily in the valley.
Forget the worries for a longer age, take care of the sorrows everywhere, love her a lot, over the years, the heart has a little more feelings, but it has not been declared in words, just silently ironing this heart day and night.
The villagers are very grateful, and every time they see them, they are very enthusiastic, and often keep them to eat and stay overnight, but they rarely do not return home at night.
One day, Xiaoyaozi sent Forget Sorrow away, and according to the custom, they would return at sunset, but they did not see Forget Sorrow until late at night.
"Why haven't you come back, are you greedy for fun and forget the hour?"
Xiaoyaozi sat on the rocking chair under the porch to enjoy the coolness, looked at the script leisurely, and finally couldn't bear to be bothered when he heard the apprentice ask several times, and said angrily: "Forget about worry, can you sit down, you have asked more than ten times in an hour......
Brushing his beard, he stared at the notebook and turned the page and continued: "Although Forget Sorrow is a little naughty, it is not a playful nature, there must be something delayed, and I will definitely come back tomorrow." ”
Forget your worries are still spinning around under the corridor.
I couldn't bear it anymore, Xiaoyaozi rubbed his eyes frantically, and scolded: "Come on, little ancestor, can you go to the back kitchen to make a pot of tea for the teacher, don't shake it here, it hurts the teacher's eyes." ”
“......”
On the morning of the second day, Forget Chou really returned, saying that he had saved a seriously injured man and had delayed the hour.
Only then did I put my mind at ease, counted down her two sentences, and turned the page to reveal it.
When he delivered something to the room in the afternoon, he disappeared again, and after looking around to no avail, he went to ask Xiaoyaozi again.
There is a pool of turquoise water in Xiaoyao Valley, and I saw Xiaoyaozi lying under the tree by the pond from a distance, covering the book on his face with one hand and holding a fishing rod in the other, which was very comfortable.
After calling several times, Xiaoyaozi woke up slowly, yawned, and said coyly: "Oh, you said forget your sorrows, she said that the person she saved yesterday was seriously injured, came back to get some medicinal herbs, and went out of the valley again." ”
"I only went there yesterday, and I went again today?"
"Healer, save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, she has the heart to do it, it can be regarded as experience, you don't have to worry. ”
Then he dozed off again.
Forget worry or don't worry about going out of the valley to find her, thinking that forget worry maybe he has encountered some tricky illness, and he can help one or two.
After asking a few villagers for directions, he soon found Forgotten Sorrow in a small farm yard.
Forget Sorrow was helping a man to walk slowly, smiling, and looking a little brighter than usual.
Forget your worries, you can hear the conversation in the courtyard through the fence wall.
Forget the sorrow and said: "Your leg injury has not healed, so I told you to lie down and recuperate for a few more days, and you want to get up." ”
"Just lying down and doing nothing, I can't lie down. Walking around a little is also easy to recover, and it is the hard girl who takes care of it patiently. ”
"It's okay. Forget sorrow hurriedly waved his other hand, his face flushed a little.
The two people in the courtyard talked happily with each other, and this picture was really harmonious and dazzling.
Forget the worries and stand outside the fence with a frown, and say in his heart: It is really ...... that I have malicious intentions towards a patient That's enough.
Forget your worries and go back to the valley.
After waiting in the valley for a long time until the evening, he returned to the valley in oblivion and did not bother to ask.
Forget Chou didn't seem to notice his subtle emotional changes, and seriously tinkered with medicinal herbs in the courtyard.
Forget about worries.
In the following days, the number of times I forgot my sorrow and went out of the valley was still frequent.
One day, he said to him, "Senior brother, I like someone. ”
Forget the worries and blushed inexplicably, and the previous anger was not angry anymore.
Half a month passed like this, and one night, I saw the warm light of a paper lantern slowly drifting from the path at the door, and thought that my sister was back.
He was about to go to greet him, but his footsteps stopped, forgetting that he was still carrying a tall man beside him, who was the patient he saw that day.
The man handed the prayer note to Xiaoyaozi, knelt down respectfully, reported his name and family history, and asked Xiaoyaozi to marry, hoping to make a lifelong engagement with Forget Sorrow.
Xiaoyaozi is most keen to read scripts on weekdays, and he is naturally very supportive of this.
He saw that his cheeks were crimson and his heart was clear, and he was very satisfied with Lin Jingzhi's appearance and extraordinary bearing, and he deliberately asked: "The marriage must not be sloppy, and I want to ask what I mean by forgetting sorrow." What do you say?"
Forget Sorrow's cheeks became more and more blushing, and he lowered his head with a smile and replied, "The disciple is naturally willing." ”
Xiaoyaozi immediately agreed, and gave a pair of jade bracelets as wedding gifts.
Talented and beautiful, very right.
Forget your worries, but in your heart, it is like knocking over a bowl of coptis, and the taste is full of bitterness.
It turns out that the junior sister said that she likes someone, but that person is not him.
Forget your sorrow and get the blessing of the master, and turn your head to look at forget your worries.
Forgetting the sorrow and suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he said angrily: "Didn't you say that you would always accompany the master and his old man, and forget what you said so quickly?"
Hearing this, Xiaoyaozi slapped his palm on the head and reprimanded: "Isn't this still you!"
Forget your worries and vomit blood.
Forget Chou smiled and grabbed his sleeve and shook it: "What did Senior Brother say, I just found someone I liked, and I didn't want to leave, how dare I forget my oath." ”
Looking at her flattering smile, she couldn't say anything against it, so she had to snort, "You little white-eyed wolf." ”
They grew up together since childhood, and they knew that their senior brother was the hardest-mouthed and soft-hearted, so they accepted it.
Looking at him, he smiled with his eyebrows.
It's enough to forget your worries and think, and to feel happy when you forget your sorrows.
○
Later, I learned that the story of forgetting sorrow and Lin Jingzhi is just like what is written in the books that Xiaoyaozi likes to read.
On that day, he went out of the valley to practice medicine, visited several villagers and prescribed prescriptions, and directly distributed the herbs he carried.
After seeing all the patients and finding that it was still early, he put the sickle of cutting medicine into the small medicine basket at his waist and went to the nearby mountains to pick some herbs.
In the afternoon, the weather was hot, and after climbing the mountain, I was sweating a little, and I forgot my sorrow and found the mountain stream in the forest to drink some water.
She had just squatted down by the stream and was about to take a sip of water to drink, when she was startled, and in the reflection of the stream, there was a person standing behind her.
Before a scream could be uttered, the man put his hand on her shoulder, "Auntie......"
She quickly slammed her back hard, and after knocking down the man, she quickly got up and turned around and punched the man, staring at him vigilantly.
The man fell straight to the ground, clutching his leg in pain.
Forget the sorrow, he was covered in blood, and he sighed in his heart, she didn't use much force, why did she beat people to blood?
At this time, not far away, there was a faint sound of several people talking to each other.
"Where's this bastard?"
"Damn, I saw him running this way just now, why did he disappear all of a sudden?"
"Look carefully, this bastard boy came to our cottage to make trouble, ruined the good things of the owner of the village, I have to catch him and clean him up!"
"Broke his leg!"
“......”
Forget the sorrow and suddenly realized that what this group of people were looking for must be this man.
Out of guilt, she hurried over and dragged him into the bushes.
A moment later, three ruffian-dressed men rushed out of the woods.
I saw a little girl squatting in front of the bushes with her back to them, and when she looked around, she was mowing the grass, and there were a few bundles of dark green grass in the bamboo basket around her waist.
"Hey, who are you!" the leader looked at her quizzically.
Seeing someone talking, the little girl raised her head and startled the three people, only to see that the little girl's face was densely covered with red and swollen blisters, as if she had been scalded by boiling water, which was very disgusting and scary.
They unconsciously took a few steps back.
The little girl seemed to be very timid, glanced at them and quickly lowered her head, and replied timidly: "I, my family lives at the bottom of the mountain, and I came to the mountain to cut the grass and feed it...... Feed the rabbits!"
The three of them were about to catch her and interrogate her, and just as they were about to take a few steps, the girl seemed to feel that the blisters on her face were very itchy, and she reached out and picked her face, and the blisters burst, wafting out a disgusting smell.
Although they didn't stand close, the three of them turned black, retched, and quickly turned around and ran.
Roaring while vomiting: "That...... That stinky boy must have run away, we'...... Let's go!"
Then he ran away without looking back.
The little girl waited for them to run away without a trace, then walked back to the stream, washed her face, and the frightening blisters disappeared immediately, revealing a small pink face, which was just forgetfulness.
She ran to the bushes and scooped out the unconscious man. She looked at the man lying on the ground, and patted the grass in the medicine basket proudly, "It's saved! Fortunately, there is itchy grass here, which freaks out the fools, haha!"
It turned out that when she was about to drag the man into the bushes, the man finally struggled to say what he had not finished speaking: "Girl, run, there are mountain bandits!"
Now forget the sorrow can not be ignored, afraid that he will make a sound, forget the sorrow directly slapped him stunned and dragged him to the bushes to hide, was anxious to think of countermeasures, saw a few "itchy grass" growing next to the bushes, the juice of the grass will form a layer of bubbles on the skin, at first glance, it looks like it was scalded by water, and the smell is very disgusting and unpleasant.
Although this herb cannot be used in medicine, Forget Chou is very familiar with these herbs and immediately thought of a way.
And it worked.
I'm very sorry for this man, I wanted to remind her that she was in danger, but she beat her.
Forgetting that he was worried that he might encounter the mountain bandit just now on the way down the mountain, he thought about it and hid the man in a nearby cave.
The disparity in size was huge, and it was really hard for Forget to move him, and it was so hard to drag and drag him, and the man's coat was about to wear off on the ground, which led him into the cave.
As soon as she entered the cave, she put down the person and sat down to the side panting, which was more tiring than climbing the whole mountain and going to the cliff to collect medicine.
Not daring to delay longer, she immediately checked his body after resting for a while, and found that he had knife wounds all over his body, and even an arrow with a broken arrow in his thigh, which was in urgent need of treatment.
It was getting dark, and it was cold in the mountains, so Forget Sorrow first found a dead branch and made a fire next to him, and then went out of the cave.
Human life is at stake, but there is no medicine at hand.
She had gone to this mountain to collect herbs, and immediately looked for herbs to use in the vicinity.
In the night, her vision was blocked, and she couldn't see clearly, so she knelt on the ground and came close to make it by the moonlight, the bushes and grass were overgrown with thorns, and soon there were many small wounds in her hands.
With great difficulty, she rushed back to the cave with a shallow foot, and she didn't care about tidying up her appearance, which must have been very bad.
Forget the sorrow took water and carefully cleaned his wound, then mashed the herbs and applied them to the wound, and tore the skirt to bandage him without a strip of cloth.
The knife wound on his body was treated, and he was about to take out the broken arrow in his leg, which was very deep, and the flesh around him had turned black, and if he wanted to take it out, he would have to rip off some rotten flesh.
It's just the pain of cutting the flesh, ordinary people can't bear the pain without anesthetic, although he is now fainting, but waking up under the pain, it is bound to be unbearable, if you unconsciously bite the root of the tongue, it will be bad, but if you don't take it out in time, this person's leg will be wasted!
After forgetting the worries and weighing them, he decided to take them out for him.
Putting the sickle on the fire and baking it for a while, forgetting his sorrow and trying to chop the flesh as gently as possible, the unconscious man frowned, snorted low in pain, woke up as soon as his eyes opened, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, his whole body trembled, and his fingers clawed at the soil beneath him in pain.
Forget Chou's left hand reached out to his cheek, and found that he had already closed his teeth and was unconsciously biting his tongue, and quickly stuck his jaw bone to force him to open his mouth, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
This hurts like this at the beginning, but how is it good?
The man's pain was so severe that his consciousness became blurred, and he struggled, subconsciously opening his mouth and biting the hand that Forget Sorrow placed next to his face.
"Hiss......" forgot to gasp a few times, and his face was wrinkled in pain.
But fortunately, after he bit it, he stopped moving, and Forget Chou hurriedly used his other hand to continue to take out all the broken arrows.
What did he feel, Forget Sorrow didn't know, anyway, Forget Sorrow only knew, the more he bit harder, her hand was already so painful that she lost consciousness.
Forgetting to wipe his sweat, he pulled out his left hand, which was bitten and fleshy, and bandaged the wound on his leg.
I really didn't want to move anymore, and I was exhausted and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Lin Jingzhi woke up before forgetting his sorrows, he looked at the unfamiliar cave roof, his eyes were lost for a moment, and then he suddenly remembered something, he leaned out a little nervously, and found a pile of extinguished fires, and a sleeping woman curled up not far from him.
Looking at the wounds that had been properly bandaged, I was very grateful.
It was really inconvenient for his legs to walk, so he crawled over with his body propped up, wanting to see the appearance of the savior.
The woman's face was covered with mud, her hair and clothes were stained with many thorns and mustard, and her skirt was tattered. His hands were scarred, and on his left hand was a bloody tooth mark, although the blood had coagulated, it was still shocking to look at.
The face is still gray and stained with blood, and this tired face is not very beautiful.
But the way she looks is moving.
Lin Jingzhi's heart instantly collapsed and became very soft.
Such a woman is bound to be cherished for a lifetime.
When she first woke up, she felt that someone was gently wiping her hands, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the man who was seriously injured yesterday had woken up, and was supporting the ground with his arms, leaning sideways to scrub her wounds.
Naturally, she wanted to ask about the injury, but Lin Jingzhi stared straight at her, and under such a deep gaze, she forgot what she wanted to say.
After getting out of trouble, Forget Sorrow sent him to the village to borrow him, and took good care of him for several days, and the two gradually became acquainted.
When Lin Jingzhi was recuperating from her injury, she chatted with her from all over the world, making her laugh like a child; she accompanied her to dry and pound medicine, and did all the trivial things; when she went up the mountain to collect medicine together, she took out a handful of freshly picked wildflowers from behind her back, turned her head sideways and didn't look at her, but the tips of her ears were red...... Especially the undisguised tenderness in Lin Jingzhi's eyes when he looked at Forget Sorrow, which made Forget Sorrow blush and heartbeat.
At this point, feelings are settled.
○
Lin Jingzhi was injured this time to save the village woman who was taken captive by mountain bandits, and went deep into the tiger's den alone, and was injured only after being calculated. Such a character is naturally impeccable, not to mention the sincerity and sincerity of forgetting sorrow.
Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he still accepted Lin Jingzhi in his heart.
Feelings are like that, it's not about first come, first come.
Later, a few years later, Xiaoyaozi passed away, and he forgot his worries and parted ways with Lin Jingzhi and his wife after leaving the valley.
Lin Jingzhi traveled around with his sorrows, and on the way, he accidentally rescued the saint who was still the prince at the time.
Shengshang felt his talent and wanted to recruit him into the palace, just in the midst of the war, with the support of forgetting sorrow, the husband and wife joined the military camp and began their career as a general of Huwei to fight in all directions.
Lin Jingzhi defended his family and the country, forgot his sorrows and stayed by his side, and treated people to save people, which was quite famous at that time.
After more than ten years of forgetting his worries and entering the WTO, he somehow ran to the mountains and began to live in seclusion.
More than ten years of a dream of red dust, the end of the hero suffered this catastrophe, it is really impermanent......
Forget my worries and somehow, my eyes became more and more sour the more I rubbed them, and tears fell.
Wake up like a dream, life and death travel together.
The yellow springs are blue and falling, each divided into two places.
