Chapter 22 The Wizard's Home

Affectionate as the sun, thin as the moon, when will the sun and the moon be bright?

Fate is like a song, fate is scattered like the wind, and the song stops and the wind rises from sorrow!

There is a stone table at the foot of the eucommia tree in the medicine garden, and the table top is engraved with a few words on it.

There are four stone benches around the stone table, and Xiaoqing is like a white butterfly with moist wings, losing its former light demeanor and flexible posture. Do on the opposite side of Fang Hong shows a little haggard and tired!

"Brother Fang! You're right! Xiaoqing said: "Listen to my mother, as early as before the solution, the four families are the Bai people of Dali, the Li family is a professional tea ceremony, the tea fragrance is unique, the aftertaste is endless; the Zhang family is good at winemaking, the wine is mellow and delicious, and the beauty is healthy; the Du family has the ancestral secret recipe of herbs, especially the tonic formula, nourishing the essence and storing sharpness, prolonging life; the Yin family carving technology is profound, and the carved patterns are lifelike, and they are about to come out! Unfortunately, however, the four families were all controlled by Zhu Jingui, a wealthy and powerful local toast, and the Zhang and Li families were often forced to hand in their wine and tea, keeping a little for themselves; the Du family was also forced to hand in health tonics all year round, and had to go up the mountain every day to collect medicine to supply the Zhu family. The Yin family was even more difficult, and was directly 'invited' to the Zhu family to carve the railings and various furniture day and night, and they couldn't eat enough for three meals a day.

The Du family's medicinal materials are getting farther and farther, beginning to cross the township, then across the county, and then across the province, and finally one day, the people of the Du family picked medicine to this Xizhu Mountain, and found that there is a big cave under the cliff on the top of Xizhu Mountain, the entrance of the cave is wide, the hole is spacious, the land outside the cave is vast, and the water source is sufficient, so the people of the Du family went back and discussed quietly with Li, Zhang, and Yin, and the four families each found the right time to leave Zhu Jingui's control, and fled to Xizhu Mountain with the Du family.

However, where was Zhu Jingui willing to let go of these four treasures, he sent people to visit everywhere, and later invited a witch with strong spells, and this witch found Xizhushan in a few days. Fortunately, the witch had a habit of drinking wine before meals and tea after meals, and she liked game and vegetarian dishes, and the four families begged the witch bitterly, swearing to satisfy her two great hobbies, and were willing to provide her with three meals a day for a long time, so that she could eat and drink enough and be carefree. The sorceress finally moved her compassion and was willing to stay in Xizhushan. ”

"However, this cave is so small, and this orchard medicine garden is not necessarily very spacious...... Fang Hong said, pointing to the stone house and the medicine garden.

Xiaoqing said: "This is not the four families, this is the home of wizards!"

Fang Hong was stunned and said, "I kind of understand!" The Soul Road was originally made by a wizard, planting strange flowers and fruits, and casting spells and spells! The aim is not to let the people of the four families come to view her territory! But she went to four homes to eat every day through the Soul Road. ”

"Yes. Xiaoqing said: "The stone house here was built by other people, and the spiny bamboo around it was also planted by her." People who have been here have been given medicinal soup by casting spells and chanting spells, and then they have lost their memories and forgotten everything they did and where they came here. ”

"Then, she shouldn't have done that waterway!" Fang Hong said with a slight snap of her fingers.

"No, that waterway was born, but later after Grandma Hei led her into the cave, Grandma asked my father to come and process it with Lao Guo. The two doors of the cave were made of cement by my father and Lao Guo. ”

"So that wizard didn't find this hole when he was there?" Fang Hong said.

"Found ! " Xiaoqing said: "The four families have come here for the third year, and although the thorny bamboo here is tender, it has grown very dense and tall! One day, a young man came to dig a deep yam, and a yam vine grew in the position of the charcoal cellar, and the young man dug and dug and found this hole...... "Xiaoqing said here and glanced at Fang Hong!

Fang Hong smiled and said, "Could it be that the witch found the boy and caught the boy?"

"Yes!" Xiaoqing also smiled and said, "The wizard saw that the boy was handsome, so he arrested the boy and ...... with her that day Slept ......"

Fang Hong said with a smile: "Could it be that someone saw her when she caught the boy?"

Xiaoqing's tired face flushed and said, "No matter what secret things a person does secretly, there will always be a time when people will be known, sooner or later!" Especially for people who are addicted to alcohol, sometimes she will say it herself without being asked! ”

"Oh ! " Fang Hong sighed: "It turns out that she said this by herself!"

So she loved the boy so much that she was drunk and lost her word for it! After all, she goes to four homes for three meals a day. Fang Hong smiled and said, "No wonder he left that waterway without casting spells, so that the young man could come and go." Even the charcoal cellar was deliberately made by her to hide people's eyes. And she raised the black snake to guard there! ”

"Yes. Xiaoqing said: "According to the people of the four families, the charcoal cellar was still made by the young man himself, and the chimney was made to make it easy for the black snake to enter and exit, and the chimney did not lead to the top, but led to the waterway along the foot of the cellar." In the charcoal cellar, people are often absent from the snake, and the snake is absent from the people. ”

"In this way, that young man still has affection for her!" Fang Hong said here and said: "No, unless she casts a spell to trap the young man's heart, otherwise, what handsome young man is willing to be with an old witch!"

Xiaoqing finally smiled and said, "Do you think that wizard was very old and ugly at that time? I heard that the wizard was only in his early thirties at the time, and he was still a cold beauty!" It was only later that her spells became weaker and weaker with the boy that she decided to break off her friendship with the boy. ”

"It's no wonder! " Fang Hong said with a smile: "After she broke off her friendship with the young man, she was so lonely that she thought about it for a while, so she borrowed wine to kill her sorrows, and lost her words when she was drunk......"

"Yes ! " Xiaoqing said: "And she is also pregnant with a teenager's child!"

"Oh ! " Fang Hong sighed: "So, did the child give birth later?"

"Born ! " Xiaoqing said: "The day the child was born was the day when the boy and another woman got married!"

"Who told her?" Fang Hong said.

No one needs to tell her, after she broke off her friendship with the boy, she often couldn't help but follow the boy, and the boy's joys and sorrows were like her own. That boy can't do anything to beat her! Xiaoqing said.

Fang Hong said: "Actually, this wizard is kind-hearted! She didn't even mess with the young man's wedding and endure such pain for the person she loved! ”

"Yes, if she wasn't a kind person, she would have quietly gone back to tell Zhu Jingui when she found out that the four families were here!" Xiaoqing said.

"Yes! I can't imagine that there is such a superb spell and I can't pass the 'love' level! Fang Hong said: "Did she raise the child she gave birth to?"

"Nope!" Xiaoqing said: "It is said that on the day she gave birth, her hair was all white! After giving birth to a child, she passed away! ”

Fang Hong was full of emotion, sighed deeply and said, "Is the child a boy or a girl?"

Xiaoqing said: "I heard it's a boy!"

Fang Hong asked, "So, which of the four families did the boy raise later?"

Xiaoqing said: "Raised by the Zhang family. ”

Fang Hong raised his eyebrows, snapped his fingers and said, "Could it be that the boy is Zhang Laoguo?"

Xiaoqing said: "No one is sure about this! Because I heard that there was only one grandmother left in the four families! Later, the head of the People's Liberation Army sent someone to send Grandma back to Dali to return to her family! Grandma received special preferential treatment from the government in Dali, studied hard, became a doctor, and married a person from an agricultural science institute in the same township. He gave birth to three daughters and a son. My mom is a girl! ”

Fang Hong was a little confused when she heard this, and asked: "Your grandma's house is in Dali, but this is a township and county, and the township and Dali are at least ten hours away from each other!" I really don't understand how your grandma has lived in this mountain for more than ten years since she is a doctor in Dali! Why are you with Lao Guo? What about your grandfather who used to be at the Agricultural Science Institute?"

Xiaoqing said: "My grandfather went to the mountains to find tonic medicine for my grandmother when my mother was born, and unfortunately fell into the rock and died! Later, Lao Guo found his grandmother, and they were together! ”

"So your uncle is Lao Guo's son?" Fang Hong asked.

"Yes ! " Xiaoqing said.

"So, where is Lao Guo from?" Fang Hong asked.

Xiaoqing said: "Lao Guo is actually a person from the township and county. ”

Fang Hong said: "Oh! I understand! Your grandmother has a home in Dali and a home in the township and county! It's on both ends. ”

Xiaoqing said, "That's it!"

Fang Hong said: "But I have lived in the city for two or three years, but I have never seen Lao Guo!"

Xiaoqing said: "He has been staying here! ”

Fang Hong sighed in frustration: "He actually coaxed me to say that he was a foreigner, and the prescription he gave me was all made up, right?"

Xiaoqing said: "After he strayed into the path of the soul, his relationship was unstable, and he was sober for a while and confused for a while! I'm not sure if this prescription is true or not. Because he often composes and sings by himself, haven't you heard him sing yesterday: 'Three-character fragrant tea is good Chinese wine, mutual help and love without losing ......'?"

Fang Hong said: "Yes, I now think that the prescription he reported to me was made up by him out of a momentary interest. However, you said that your grandma and Lao Guo left so suddenly, is there a problem with the wine or the tea?

Xiaoqing muttered, "It's possible to both!"

Fang Hong said: "However, the tea is made by you!"

Xiaoqing said: "When I went in, Grandma and Lao Guo's tea recipe was already ready!" I only added the recipe of the flower dew! ”

Fang Hong said: "Then, Lao Guo and I have no grievances.......!

Xiaoqing said: "I have always found that Lao Guo has a problem since I was a child, I have always been unaccustomed to the things of affection and love, and I am especially jealous of handsome guys!"

Fang Hong said: "In this way, he is likely to be the son of a wizard, and when he was a child, someone told him that his mother died of love and love!" So he hates love and hates handsome guys. ”

Xiaoqing said: "Yes, only he and Grandma have many reasons to guard this place, to guard the tombs of the four families and the homes established by the wizards. If Lao Guo has nothing to do with the Four Families and has nothing to do with the Wizard Home, how can he be familiar with this place, how can he find this place!"

Fang Hong said: "It should be said that Lao Guo and your grandma have been childhood sweethearts since they were children, and they have played well together on this mountain since they were children." Maybe your grandma already knew from the adults that Lao Guo was the son of a wizard. ”

Xiaoqing said: "No matter what, they buried all the luck and misfortune, at least they still fulfilled their wish, the two were born in the same place, died in the same place, and finally buried with their relatives!"

Fang Hong said: "I'm afraid that your two aunts and your uncle don't think like you! They will definitely investigate the cause of the death of the two elders, and even blame me for burying the two elders!"

Xiaoqing said: "Brother Fang, there are some things, you have just noticed them, and you will soon know the truth of many things. If you still have any questions in your mind, just ask, and I will tell you what I know!"
