Zi Baifeng and the others stayed in Mengcheng for three days, and only returned to the village on the fourth day, tired all the way, Zi Baifeng asked the others to go home, and he also walked a few steps to hurry home.
When he walked to the door of his house, he saw the pillar coming down from the mountain with a skinny and bony female hound, and the female dog was hanging from under her belly, apparently giving birth to a puppy.
"Uncle Zhuzi. Zi Baifeng said hello, he didn't plan for anyone to answer, but today Uncle Zhu seemed to be in a good mood, and he actually nodded to Zi Baifeng, which was regarded as a greeting.
Zi Jian estimated that Zi Baifeng was about to come back, and he had been waiting at home for a long time, but he didn't expect Zhu Zi and Zi Baifeng to come in together.
As soon as he entered the door, the pillar couldn't help but exclaim, "Big brother, look what I found on the mountain!"
Zi Baifeng peeked at it, and in the wide and thick palm of the pillar, a white, crystal round stone was lying there quietly.
"It's ...... Jade?" Zijian glanced at it, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Where did you find it?"
He took the piece of jade from the pillar and looked at it carefully, although he was not a jade worker, but he had been exposed to it in Xiayan Village for so many years, and he still knew a little bit about it, Zijian looked at it again and again for a while, and said, "This ...... It looks like a piece of beautiful jade!"
"Yes, since my father died, I haven't seen such a good jade. The pillar couldn't help but be overjoyed, "I found it from under a large rock when I was going up and down the mountain. ”
As he spoke, he bent down and rubbed the scrawny's head vigorously at his feet.
In fact, most of the dogs in the village are not hunting dogs, but jade-seeking dogs, which have been selected and domesticated for dozens of generations, and are naturally very sensitive to jade. It's just that there is no place for it all these years, and I can only make a cameo appearance as a hound.
"I'll see. Zi Baifeng took it from his father's hand, looked at it over and over, and the pillar didn't care, although he didn't like Zi Baifeng, he could also trust Zi Baifeng.
After getting the piece of jade, Zi Baifeng was suddenly shocked.
In Zi Baifeng's opinion, the jade in front of him is actually slightly different from the jade that Zi Baifeng knew in his previous life, one side is flat, and the other side is round, like the dew drops on the leaves in the early morning, and the shape is extremely regular. But the most important thing is that Zi Baifeng can see the aura contained in the jade.
This jade is not like a mineral, but like a ...... The crystallization of Reiki!
The "Jade Sutra" passed down from generation to generation in Xiayan Village also said: "Jade is the essence of the earth's veins." If the leylines are surging, the jade is present, and the leylines are exhausted and the jade is gone. "Jade is not a mineral or a gemstone, but like a special creature, just like mushrooms after a rain, Lingzhi under the snow, it grows.
Rubbing this beautiful jade, Zi Baifeng seemed to see the aura like water, seeping out of the cracks in the earth's veins, and then condensing in the middle of the night, turning into flawless jade.
In the past 100 years, the amount of jade found by the villagers of Xiayan Village has decreased year by year, and in the past ten years, almost no one has found jade again. The jade seekers of the past have now become hunters, farmers, and craftsmen.
However, the attachment to jade is engraved in the bones of the people of Xiayan Village, and that kind of attachment and joy is something that Zi Baifeng cannot understand.
"I'll go take it and show it to the fifth master. "After taking back the jade, the pillar left happily, to be able to find the jade again, it is a very significant thing for this village, if the jade can be found in the future, it means that the leyline has begun to recover, and it also means that the glory of Xia Yan Village in the past will come again.
The pillar turned around, but the old didn't follow, but walked on slender legs and went directly into the wing, Zi Baifeng was still puzzled, and he heard the shouting of the small stone inside: "Brother, brother, come and see!"
Zi Baifeng was still wondering where the little guy ran just now, and when he heard the sound and entered the wing, he saw that the little stone was lying next to a big wooden box, beckoning desperately to Zi Baifeng, and the old sniffed on the little stone, and then stepped into the box and lay down lightly.
Zi Baifeng looked down, and there were seven or eight small meat balls in the box that were arching around in the arms of the old bitch.
Zijian came in with a bowl of gruel and put it next to the box, and the old touched Zijian's trouser leg with her nose to express her gratitude, then lowered her head and licked it.
"Uncle Zhu said to give me one, brother, which one do you think I want better?" Xiao Shi looked at the puppy with a pair of bright eyes, and then raised his little face and said expectantly: "Brother, can I give Qiu'er one?"
Zi Baifeng laughed when he heard this, this little stone really thinks about his daughter-in-law.
Zijian explained beside him: "As soon as you left that day, your Uncle Zhuzi's thin legs gave birth to a litter of puppies, and no one took care of them at home, so they were sent to our house." ”
"Big brother, big brother!" The sound of the pillar outside sounded again, Zijian went out, and saw the pillar untie a pheasant hanging from his waist, and said, "Big brother, you stew and eat this pheasant, just leave the bones for the thin legs." ”
"You can take it back and make up for your aunt's body. Zijian excused himself.
"I hit three, this big one is for my mother, and this one is for the fifth master. Zhu Zi said, and then the sound disappeared, and Zijian was heard sharpening his knife outside. Zi Baifeng smiled, today is a blessing, Zijian is not good at hunting, there were few prey on the mountain a few years ago, and Zi Baifeng ate pheasants only a handful of times.
"It's your light today. Zi Baifeng reached out and stroked the thin-legged skinny head, which was hard and stiff, and the hair was a little sparse. The pillar's house is now surrounded by walls, and even the pillars can't be fed, let alone thin legs.
As the saying goes, the son is not ugly, and the dog is not poor. The pillar is filial to his mother, and the dog is also loyal to the pillar.
Looking at the seven or eight small meat balls that have been sucking milk under the thin legs, sucking the thin legs weakly, and the gruel that has been drunk is estimated to have not sucked out more milk, Zi Baifeng is also a little unbearable in his heart, he rubbed the back of the thin legs, and carried the demon raising trick, and his fingers lightly traced on its rugged back: "Xijiang Jia Kezhu Baihu, the dog in the boat eats meat." "If you can't eat meat, then comfort me with two verses.
The aura and spirituality of the demon cultivation technique entered the body, and the thin legs immediately felt the difference, it arched its body, gently licked the back of Zi Baifeng's hand, and looked at Zi Baifeng with a pair of big watery eyes. It is said that dogs understand human nature, although they can't speak, but their IQ is about the same as that of children, it can feel that Zi Baifeng is doing something to it, but it doesn't know what it is, and can only vaguely express gratitude.
After three or four strokes, the spirit of the thin leg was much better, and it lowered its head and licked the puppies one by one. Looking at those fluffy little guys, Zi Baifeng liked it more and more, and raised his voice: "Dad, let's foster one too." ”
"Well, I'm going to pick one too, and it's good to look at. "Recently, there have been frequent incidents of livestock being bitten to death in the village, and Zijian's family is close to Bird and Mouse Mountain, and Zijian is also a little worried about breaking into the animals.
"I want this ......" Xiaoshi reached out to touch the puppy, and the quilt Baifeng slapped it open, "The puppy is too small to touch!"
Xiao Shi could only watch and drool beside him, and after a while, he asked, "Brother, when will the puppy open his eyes?" ”
"There will be ten days left. Zi Baifeng replied.
"It's been a long time...... Xiao Shi couldn't wait, and quietly reached out to touch the puppy again, but this time he was arched out of the thin leg with his nose.
"I'm also going to take the dog to the mountains to look for jade......" Xiaoshi looked at the sky with his eyes, full of anticipation.
After a while, the aroma of pheasants wafted outside, and the small stone was suddenly attracted out of the mouth, Zi Baifeng stretched out his finger and scratched a few times on the bodies of those puppies, no more, no less, eight "long" words, I hope these puppies are free of illness and disaster, and grow faster.
I don't know if it works, but at least I have peace of mind.
Zi Baifeng here hasn't eaten his own pheasant, he heard Yan Lao Wu outside shouting at him, and when he went out, he saw the old man standing at the gate happily, with one hand on his waist, his old leather coat on his shoulder, and his bare bronze chest, and when he saw Zi Baifeng, he grabbed him and said, "Baifeng, hurry up, everyone is waiting!"
"Wait, wait for what?" Zi Baifeng was stunned for a moment.
"Waiting for you...... Yan Lao Wu dragged Zi Baifeng, and then went to the house and dragged Zijian, and said, "You father and son both go, hurry up, hurry up, don't grind." ”
"Little stone, you go and ask your mother to watch the pot......" Before Zijian could finish speaking, he was pulled away by Yan Lao Wu.
Yan Lao Wu's house was full of people, and Zi Baifeng looked at it, and the people who had just come back from Mengcheng were here. There are also a few old people in the village, the pillar is not speaking here, and is being instructed to squat in the corner to clean up the pheasant, a few dishes have been placed on the table, and the wine has been heated, Yan Lao Wu waved his hand: "Xiucailang is seated!"
"Torture me!" Zi Baifeng hurriedly excused himself, not to mention anything else, his own Lao Tzu is still here, how can he be seated? Pushing back and forth, it is still Yan Lao Wu who sits on the upper seat, and then Zi Baifeng and Zijian father and son are on the side, these two people are now also nobles in Xia Yan Village, and their treatment is much higher than that of Lu Dao before.
"Zhuzi, bring these dishes to your mother, and when you come back after you finish sending them, we won't get drunk and won't return! Come, do this drink! Zhuangyuanlang, you look down on me Yan Lao Wu, do it, yes, that's it, do it!" Yan Lao Wu was babbling over there.
Zi Baifeng drank I don't know how much Lu Dao did, anyway, he was happy, the wine was dry, I don't know when Lu Dao floated up, and I didn't know what Lu Dao did or said, and when he was conscious, it was the middle of the night.
Not far from his window, there was a litter of puppies, with thin legs in a wooden box, surrounding the puppies, but at this time they raised their heads and made a whining sound in their mouths.
Zi Baifeng's heart moved, could it be that there were beasts outside?
He was just about to get out of bed when he heard a soft noise outside, and the window was opened from the outside.
