The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

"No, it's too dry and the weather is getting hotter. I'm afraid it will die before it matures."

Shen Songqing squatted on the ground, took a puff of his pipe, and tapped the ground with the pipe stem.

The ground was just watered again two days ago, and it's hard again, and is about to crack.

"Even if it rains now, it's too late."

Shen Yuan also squatted down and picked up a piece of dogtail grass.

Because of the drought, the foxtail grass also turned yellow.

"It's OK here. Although the wheat ears are smaller, at least they are still there. I heard that in several villages in the north, the rivers have dried up and the wheat ears are not growing at all. A large area of ​​wheat has died."

Shen Songqing knocked on the ground again and picked up some soil. It was dry and without any moisture.

"The wheat ears have sprouted here. Next, we need to have sufficient water to nourish them, otherwise they will become dumb ears."

Shen Yuan bit the dogtail grass and spit it out.

"God won't give us a way to survive! I heard that food prices have also started to rise."

Shen Songqing stood up:

"How could it not go up? We were about to lose everything, but luckily I went hunting with you a few days ago and sold the money to stock up on some food. Yuan, we were able to survive this disaster, all thanks to you."

Shen Songqing was full of gratitude.

If it weren't for the silver I got, if I hadn't listened to Shen Yuan, I would have used it all to buy food.

There are so many people in their family that in this disaster year, they can't survive even by eating tree bark.

"Uncle, we are a family. You have a large family. Is there enough food? If not, I will ask Shen Zhao to send some more."

Shen Yuan asked.

Shen Songqing waved his hands hurriedly:

"No, no, I asked your eldest brother to use the money to buy food these days. It will be enough to last until autumn."

After saying that, Shen Songqing walked back with his pipe in hand.

Shen Yuan also patted the dirt off his body.

"I'll go water the fields again. The wheat ears are growing there. If I water them one more time, I might be able to harvest an extra pound of grain."

Shen Songqing took this seriously. Seeing that they were running out of water, he thought it would be wise to water the plants as much as possible.

"Okay, I'll go back and call your eldest brother to come and water the fields as well."

The two separated, and Shen Yuan went home to fetch a bucket of water. He saw Xiao Yue'er sitting in the yard with an unhappy look on her face, holding a photo in her hand.

"Dad, my sister hasn't come home yet. I haven't seen her for ten days. I miss her so much."

Xiao Yueer now misses him when she looks at the photo every day and runs over there to see him from time to time.

Shen Yuan's movements froze, and his brows were furrowed into small hills.

She....hasn't come back yet?

I felt inexplicably panicked.

"I miss my sister too, Daddy, is something wrong with my sister?"

Xiao Yunyi also fiddled with the photo in Yue'er's hand.

His sister is not at home and he hasn't had anything delicious to eat for a long time.

"Shut up, you crow mouth, and say less."

Shen Yuan roared, as if this was the only way to get rid of the panic in his heart.

Xiao Yunyi immediately shut up, feeling aggrieved.

However, the uneasiness in Shen Yuan's heart did not subside, but became more and more intense.

He had tried not to think about her these days.

But every day when he heard that she hadn't come back, he couldn't help but worry.

I’m afraid that all contact will be cut off suddenly.

When he thought that he might not be able to contact her again in the future, his heart suddenly ached.

With a bang, the bucket fell to the ground.

Shen Yuan was no longer in high spirits and turned back into the house.

He pulled the cloth-wrapped object out from the wall and opened it.

Finally I plucked up the courage to take a look at the photo.

The girl in the photo was still smiling at him.

"Su Wanwan, you must not be in any trouble. Come back here quickly, otherwise..."

What else can I do?

There was nothing he could do.

Su Wanwan, I regret it.

No matter whether you are a fairy or a demon, no matter whether we can meet or not, it is good to be able to contact each other.

When you come back, I will write you a letter and buy you some ceramics!

His thumb gently touched the photo and rested on Su Wanwan's face, his eyes dark.

Open the wooden box again, and inside is the hairpin.

He just didn't have the courage to send it out.

Is there really no chance?

No! He had to think of a way.

Shen Yuan suddenly stood up with a "swoosh", hurriedly packed all his things and stuffed them into the wall, changed into clean clothes and went out.

"Brother, where are you going?"

Shen Zhao came out of the house and just saw his elder brother about to walk out the door.

"Take good care of the child. I'm going to be out for two days."

Shen Yuan left immediately without even looking back.

He almost ran out.

I heard that the abbot of Lingyin Temple is very powerful.

He never believed in these weird things before.

But Su Wanwan's story made him feel that there might really be monsters, ghosts, and fairies in the world.

No matter what Su Wanwan is, he wants her to be safe.

Lingyin Temple was not close, so Shen Yuan ran all the way there and arrived in the middle of the night.

At this time, Lingyin Temple was very quiet, with only a few monks on night watch beating wooden fish in the main hall.

Shen Yuan went straight to the main hall. He didn't even know which Buddha was in front of him, so he just knelt down.

I closed my eyes and prayed for her safety.

This kneeling lasted until dawn.

When Abbot Jingyuan came early in the morning, he saw this man, who seemed to be asleep but kneeling very straight.

"donor."

Little Shani woke up Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan opened his eyes and saw an old monk looking at him, and immediately stood up.

"Is it Abbot Jingyuan?"

Master Jingyuan nodded: "Does the donor have anything to ask for?"

Kneeling for a whole night, this is a huge wish.

This man is big and strong, and doesn't look like a Buddhist.

Jingyuan led the person to the backyard, and the two sat cross-legged facing each other.

"Master, I met a person. No, to be exact, it was a fairy or a demon."

Shen Yuan didn't know what to say.

In his heart, Su Wanwan is a seductive enchantress, but also a kind and lovely little fairy.

Jingyuan's eyes were stunned, and she looked at Shen Yuan as if he was a fool.

Meet an immortal?

He is dreaming.

He had been a monk all his life and recited sutras all his life, but he never dared to hope that he could meet an immortal.

Of course, I didn’t encounter any monsters.

"So, was it a fairy or a demon that you encountered?"

Jingyuan looked mysterious.

This question stumped Shen Yuan.

"Xian, it's Xian."

Shen Yuan still thinks Su Wanwan is more like a fairy.

Jingyuan's mouth twitched slightly:

"Where is the immortal?"

Are there really immortals in the world?

Although Jingyuan was a monk, he didn't really believe in it.

If immortals really exist, then only monks like them can meet them. How could a man meet them?

"I just don't know where she is, so I came to ask the abbot. Tell me, how can I see her?"

Shen Yuan felt that there was something wrong with this abbot, or even a master.

Ask what these questions are. If he knew, why would he come to the temple?

Jingyuan:.......

You want to know, and I also want to know. If I knew, I would have become an immortal long ago!

This guy must be crazy. He wants to see an immortal. He’s dreaming.
