The central corner of Shenzhou, Chenzhuang Village outside Wu'an City
As soon as the morning arrived, the sky was still bright, and the wet mist shrouded the entire Chenzhuang Village and the dwarf cloud mountain behind the village, cold and quiet, and the sound of insects in the mountain came in bursts, sometimes high and sometimes low, enveloping the whole village. www.biquge.info At this time, the creaking sound of the wooden door in the village began to sound. In the distance, in the fields at the foot of the mountain, there were also more shadows. Farmers are like this, fighting with the sky and the earth all their lives, just for the harvest, the stuttering.
At the foot of the mountain, there is also a thin figure, his pace is not fast, but he walks very seriously, as if he is deliberately practicing walking, the left heel is on the ground, and then the toe, and so it is completely solid, and then the right foot, so step by step, down-to-earth. On his back was a tattered basket of herbs, the openings of which were clumsilyly inserted from side to side with some new bamboo strips. Looks like it's still working.
As he was about to pass through the farmland, the boy's pace slowly quickened, as if he didn't want others to see it. But a voice behind him still broke his plan.
"Zimu, why do you go so fast, look at this kid"
The boy turned around stiffly and said something stiffly
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen"
"I went to the mountains to collect medicine again, this morning, you said that your mother is like that, and your father doesn't know how much you will sleep."
"Dad said that the medicine in the morning is full of energy, and the effect of the medicine is better"
"Alas"
Seeing that the two old men were sighing, the young man hurriedly spoke
"Uncle Chen, I'll go first"
Then he turned around and left, seemingly not wanting to stay at all.
When the young man walked away, the old man reacted
"You said that this kid walked so fast, and I also said to give him these two pieces of bread, and it is estimated that he was shaking in the mountains again this morning, and his father must not have given him anything to eat."
Chen Bo said
"Yes, this hard-working child, what can be done by such a father and mother, alas"
Aunt Chen sighed again
"Forget it, hurry up and loosen this soil, it will be noon again in a while"
After Uncle Chen finished speaking, he and Aunt Chen started to work again
Chen Zimu hurriedly walked to the foot of the mountain, and slowly put down his steps when he was fast into the mountain, at this time he was also sweating profusely, and he was in a hurry to go, or maybe it would take him a lot of strength to talk to others.
But he didn't stop, when he walked into the mountain, he began to look left and right, and when he saw the familiar herbs, he took out his pickaxe and dug them one by one, looking at them were familiar, mechanical movements, but he was all the same serious, as if he was carving some exquisite work of art, sweating profusely, but his eyes did not change at all, every herb was like this.
There seems to be a fragrance in the mountains today, the more you go into the mountains, the stronger the smell, it is a kind of fragrance of flowers and plants, smelling this smell, Chen Zimu didn't know what it was, but when the fragrance became stronger, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something, and then shook his head. Or slowly walk towards the mountains.
While walking, he dug up a few herbs to heal external injuries, Chen Zimu walked to an open area, and slowly approached, Chen Zimu's eyes also became gentle, not far away was his favorite piece of the world, a small medicine garden.
Lonely and pitiful since he was a child, he has no friends, probably this medicine garden occupies a more important place in his heart than his father, so in the past eleven years, except for the five years when he was a child, he spent most of the remaining six years here.
Looking at the medicine garden, Chen Zimu was much more relaxed, and gently pulled out some weeds around the medicine garden as he approached.
Walking to the periphery of the medicine garden, Chen Zimu glanced up, and suddenly his face slowly turned blue.
The medicine garden was destroyed, and the grass was also dug up, and he slowly walked to the place where the grass was planted in the middle of the garden, Chen Zimu squatted down, looking at the soil that had been turned out, and couldn't help but lose his mind for a while......
This bell grass was found more than two years ago, Chen Zimu found it on a cliff behind the mountain, it was just a small green seedling at that time, but it grew on the cliff, the drought was too long, and it was a little sluggish, so Chen Zimu dug it out and planted it in the medicine garden.
This bell grass itself does not have any medicinal use, but because it can produce a strange fragrance after maturity and flowering, it will make people hallucinate when it is thick, so it is made into a psychedelic agent by some evil sects in the rivers and lakes, and the name "ten mile incense" is also because of its slow growth of three years of maturity, it is relatively scarce in the rivers and lakes, and Chen Zimu is familiar with various medicinal properties since he was a child, but he is not sad because of the loss of the value of the bell grass, he just feels that it has accompanied him for two years, and any herb in this medicine garden is his hard work, but why destroy it.
Chen Zimu was angry, since he was a child, even if the children in the village pointed to him and said that he was "wood", he was never angry, but at this time he was angry, mixed with anger, which made his face slowly flushed, and beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead.
"Hey, you, that squatting child, this broken medicine garden is yours"
A crisp voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley came from behind, Chen Zimu, reflexively turned around and saw a young girl sitting on a branch of a plane tree not far away
She looked like she was eleven or twelve years old, her big and smart eyes stared at him, the corners of her eyes were crooked, her thin and fair cheeks were slightly pink, and her cherry mouth was shining brightly, and at this time, her beautiful face was full of pride and curiosity, and her long black hair was tied with two ponytails with colored ropes on the left and right sides, which looked smart and lovely, but she was beautiful. Dressed in a pale pink dress, with a small green flower on each cuff, a pale yellow gauze belt tied around her waist, and a pair of snow-white boots on her feet, dangling there, she looked extremely noble, but a jet-black rope on her wrist looked very incongruous.
But Chen Zimu didn't look at her, only stared at a small flower on her right hand, his eyes were dull, and he slowly walked under the tree
The girl looked at him without speaking, and kept walking on his own, and couldn't help but be a little flustered, and said quickly
"What are you going to do?"
Chen Zimuli ignored her, walked under the plane tree, and still stared at the small flower in her hand and said with great difficulty
"You dug it"
The girl looked at him, and suddenly felt that the temperature in the entire mountain had dropped, and then looked at the Huanling grass in her hand, as if she understood something, and hurriedly jumped off the tall tree, handed the Huanling grass to Chen Zimu and said
"It's, that's back for you"
Chen Zimu didn't take it, just turned his head slightly to stare at the girl's eyes, as if he was suppressing something.
Suddenly, he sighed again
"It's not in your way, so why should you destroy it?"
