There is a mountain in her arms

In the afternoon, Jiang Zixiao took An An to the village to play, and Jiang Ziqing asked Jiang Yichen for help with questions he didn't understand.

As for the eldest brother in the family, he was busy studying and she didn't dare to disturb him.

The whole afternoon passed peacefully, and Grandpa Jiang just finished making An An's bed.

Jiang Ziqing's sister and brother did not stay for dinner in the evening. The four of them ate and chatted together, and the scene was warm and cozy.

"Grandma, I want to sleep alone today. Please help me make the bed later."

"No! The wooden board on the bed hasn't been wiped yet. If you sleep in front of it, your whole body will itch. Tomorrow, wait until tomorrow and I'll wipe it for you and dry it in the sun. Then I'll take out the bedding and dry it, and I'll make it for you tonight."

Grandma Jiang persuaded him gently and even picked up a chicken leg for him.

"Okay! Grandpa, I also want a small wooden table like my sister's room, and a wardrobe."

"Okay! The sun is shining these days, so I'll make it for you. After drying it for a few days, you can use it."

“How many days will that take?”

"I'll definitely finish it for you before the New Year!"

An An put forward his request one by one, looking at Grandpa expectantly with big eyes. Grandpa Jiang was happy and estimated the right time to tell him.

"Yeah! I have a room before my cousin. My cousin will definitely envy me then."

"An An, don't you already have a room in the city? Also, my cousin has a large family, so he doesn't have a separate room. But his family is also lively! You can't just show off in front of him, it's not good."

"why?"

"Because we are family, you can't build your happiness on the pain of others."

"But my cousin isn't suffering! He said that my eldest cousin is often not at home, so he indirectly lives alone too!"

"Forget it, you'll understand when you grow up. Eat!"

"Oh!"

Jiang Yicheng was stumped by An An's question and didn't know how to explain it. He simply asked him to have dinner and ended the topic.

The old couple watched her teach her brother in silence. When they saw that she was stumped, they tacitly pretended not to notice.

The next day, after Grandpa Jiang went up the mountain, Jiang Yichen secretly went up the mountain alone.

"Little Fox!"

Jiang Yichen shouted directly under the tree.

"squeak"

The little fox quickly climbed down the tree and squeaked at her, with joy evident in its voice.

"Little Fox, can you help me get this rope around the fork above?"

Seeing that it was confused, Jiang Yichen demonstrated the movements.

"This way I can get around it and climb up with the rope."

The little fox nodded, and Jiang Yichen put the rope to the little fox's mouth for it to bite.

Jiang Yicheng untied the rope, and the little fox climbed up the tree without any resistance. It didn't come down from the other side until Jiang Yicheng nodded.

"Well done."

Jiang Yicheng took the rope from its mouth, touched its head and praised it. Then she found a big tree that could bear her weight, tied one end to the trunk and made a firm knot.

She grabbed the rope and ran from a distance, and with the support of the rope, she jumped to a height of more than one person.

Then he slowly climbed up along the rope, his hands were all skinned as he climbed up a little bit.

Seeing that she was still a long way from the little fox, she closed her eyes and forced herself to stay calm.

After opening her eyes, she climbed up in one go. She did this several times, and when she found a branch to support her, she hugged the forked tree trunk and slowly moved to where the little fox was.

His tense nerves finally relaxed, and he lay on the tree trunk in an ungraceful manner to recover his strength.

After finally calming down, Jiang Yichen scratched the little fox's fur.

"I came up here, what on earth am I going to do?"

The little fox pointed to where her feet were standing and jumped onto the branch.

Jiang Yichen looked in the direction it pointed and found a bead embedded in the middle of the fork in the tree trunk.

She took out a sickle and dug it out bit by bit. It turned out to be a emerald green bead.

"what is this?"

The little fox shook its head, and Jiang Yichen simply took it into the space.

"Achu, what is this?"

"The power of wood! I didn't expect the power of wood to be sealed here!"

Ah Chu's voice changed, and he grabbed it and checked back and forth. Jiang Yicheng looked puzzled, but also guessed vaguely.

"What is that? The five elements?"

"Yes! It is the power of the five elements. According to legend, the power of the five elements disappeared inexplicably a long time ago. I didn't expect to see the power of wood here."

"So is this thing useful for restoring the original power?"

"It works! At least it can shorten the recovery time, although it's not very noticeable."

"How long was that?"

"a hundred years!"

"Only a hundred years? By the time it fully recovers, I don't know how many reincarnations I'll have taken."

Jiang Yichen originally thought that this was a little psychological comfort, but she didn't expect it to make her explode on the spot.

"If you are lucky enough to find the other five elements of power, then you may be able to see the full recovery of the original power in your lifetime."

"Ha! You also said if, maybe!"

Jiang Yichen sneered directly, and Achu felt a little guilty.

"Since it's useful, just send it over! At least it's not bad to have a space in my life. What about this little fox?"

"Can you let it stay in the space as well? The big tree outside must have grown so strong because of this wood power. Now that the wood power has been taken out, it will wither soon."

"Oh! You've already made up your mind, why are you asking me?"

Jiang Yichen looked at it sarcastically, what a hypocritical old monster.

"You are my master, so of course you have the final say."

"Really? Haven't you been the one pushing me along in this matter?"

"Of course not, it's because the master is born to do great things."

"Do you think I believe you? If there are any troubles in the future, it's better to tell me in advance. Otherwise, I will find a way to destroy this space. Since I can't avoid it anyway, I will do it according to my own wishes. One day is one day, anyway, I have lived a lifetime longer than others, so it's not a loss."

Ah Chu was so frightened by her words that he hurriedly explained.

"I've told you everything I know so far, but I can't guarantee what I don't know."

"Humph! Do you think I should believe it?"

Jiang Yichen still had some grudges in his heart, so he left the space after saying this.

Achu put the fox on his back and felt miserable.

"Alas! I really don't know! When Heaven separated me, it only told me these!"

When Jiang Yichen appeared on the tree trunk again, she vaguely felt that the tree seemed to have lost its vitality.

She grabbed the rope and slid down. Just as she was about to untie the other end of the rope, she heard the sound of a branch breaking.

Looking up, he saw that the tree trunk had cracked where the rope had been. Jiang Yicheng untied the rope and slowly put it away.

Just after I took a few steps, I heard a loud noise of something falling to the ground behind me.

She looked back and saw that half of the trunk of the giant tree had broken off at the fork, while the other half was still there.

It's like a giant Y with half the corner missing.

Jiang Yichen pursed her lips, bowed to the giant tree, and left without looking back.

"Sister, did you go there?"

As soon as Jiang Yichen came home, An An pouted unhappily.

"Well! Your skills are too poor. It's not safe. You need to practice more."

Jiang Yicheng was a little tired and just perfunctorily answered him. An An was angry and wanted to question her, but when he saw her injured hand, he was shocked.

"You, sister, your hand is injured! I'll get you some medicine!"

An An came in with her grandmother. Grandma Jiang looked at her bloody hands and felt heartbroken.

"Grandma, it's okay. It will be fine in two days after applying the medicine."

Jiang Yicheng comforted her and spread out his hands and shook them without changing his expression.

"Hey! Don't move. I'll put a hot towel on you and then apply medicine."

Grandma Jiang turned around and went out to pour hot water. An An pursed her lips tightly, said nothing, and tears fell from her eyes.

"Why are you crying, little man? It doesn't hurt, really."

"Sister, are you in danger today?"

Jiang Yichen saw that he was sad and wiped his tears with her sleeves.

"No, I just went up to take a look today. You see how high the tree is, the ladder can't reach it, so I used a rope. These are caused by the rope, and they are just superficial injuries. But if An An could grow stronger and have more strength, maybe he could help his sister today."

"I will definitely make myself strong and practice martial arts every day, then I won't be a drag anymore."

"Okay! Keep your word!"

"Yes! I am a man! Why hasn't grandma come yet? I'll go and urge her."

An An suddenly felt a little embarrassed and went out shyly, almost bumping into her grandmother who was coming in from the door.

"Ouch! My ancestor, this is scalding hot water. What should I do if it hits my face? Are you okay?"

"Grandma, it's okay, hurry up and apply medicine to my sister's hands!"

"Are you really okay? No, let me take a look first."

"No, look! I'm wearing a cotton jacket! It's impossible! There's no water on the ground!"

An An put her little face close to her and pointed at the cotton jacket on her body.

"I'm glad you're okay! Run slower next time!"

"I see!"

Grandma Jiang was relieved and went into Jiang Yichen's room with hot water.

For the next two days, Grandma Jiang refused to let her hands touch water. She had to help her wash her face and eat with a spoon. She was just like a disabled person.

The key point is that no matter how she protested, it was useless because the three people in the family all refused sternly.

Jiang Yicheng simply read books at home, and Jiang Ziqing stayed with her every day. Now it was their third year of junior high school review time, and she asked Jiang Yicheng to mark the key points for her and help her review.

The road construction in the village was still going on, and the women in the village were preparing New Year's goods at home. Grandma Jiang washed and scrubbed all the things at home, and the yard was full of things to dry every day.

When Jiang Yichen's hands were covered with scabs, her family lifted the ban on her.

"Mom, this should be the house, right? There are no houses further ahead."

"Isn't the gate open? Go ask?"

"Hey! Is anyone there? Grandpa Jiang! Mom, it's here, it's here."

Wang Quan walked to the gate of the yard and saw Grandpa Jiang, who was doing carpentry work in the yard, with an excited look on his face and kept waving at the outside of the door.

"Wang Quan? Oh, welcome, welcome. Are you here alone?"

When Grandpa Jiang heard the voice, he subconsciously looked up and stood up in surprise.

"No, my mom sent me here. This is him! Mom, this is Grandpa Jiang."

"You are the landlord! Welcome, welcome!"

"Uncle, given the relationship between Wang Quan and Jiang Yicheng, you can just call me Xiao Song."

Grandpa Jiang wiped the sawdust off his hands immediately after hearing Wang Quan's introduction. When he heard Song Niao's words, his face was even more wrinkled with smiles, and he enthusiastically led them into the house.

"My dear, Cheng Cheng, An An, look who's here?"

"Who is it? Brother Quan!"

An An was the first to run out, and when he saw Wang Quan, he jumped over in surprise. Wang Quan also happily caught him, and Wang Quan's mother was a little surprised to see them so intimate.

"Aunt Song! Did you bring Wang Quan here?"

Jiang Yichen was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Wang Quan to really come.

"Jiang Yicheng, why don't you welcome me?"

Song Niao was smiling all the time and didn't show any disgust when she saw her family's old house.

"Why, of course I welcome it."

"Mother Wang Quan, have some cakes. I just made them."

Grandma Jiang packed out several plates of candies and pastries, and held one of them up and said to Song Niao.

"Brother Quan, this is glutinous rice cake, and this is mung bean cake. They are both made by my grandma. Would you like to try some?"

An An also recommended his grandmother's pastries to Wang Quan.

Wang Quan picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.

"It's delicious! Mom, you should try it too. It's better than the cakes we usually buy at home."

Song Niao was persuaded and also took a piece of mung bean cake to eat.

"Auntie, you can open a shop with your skills."

"Haha! How can the skills of rural people catch up with those of city masters?"

"Sister Cheng, why are you still repairing the road at this time? My mom's car couldn't drive through, so we walked here."

"That's our own road, so the villagers want to repair it as soon as possible."

"Your own road? Are the people from your village the ones who built the road?"

"Ok!"

“Aren’t all road constructions arranged by the state?”

Song Niao was a little confused when he heard this. If there was no approval slip, it would be impossible to buy so many materials. Even if you want to build a house yourself, you still need to submit information if you want to buy materials.

"This was built with our own money from our village, and we only got the approval through connections."

"Investing on your own? That's not a small amount of money. Do you villagers have any objections?"

"Haha! If they were to invest, they would definitely not be willing!"

"So this money wasn't paid by you, was it?"

Song Niao had a guess in his mind and asked tentatively.

"Why us?"

Jiang Yichen's face showed no emotion, and the old couple did not say a word.

"As we walked along, we found that there were only a few brick houses, and they were not completely brick houses. This shows that your village is not very wealthy. You can't even afford to build houses, so how can you spend money to build roads? You are the only people in this village who can settle down in the city. I feel special, so..."

"Good guess!"

Jiang Yicheng nodded appreciatively.

"Hiss! Sister Cheng, it turns out your family is a hidden wealthy family!"

Wang Quan swallowed the cake in his mouth and felt that he was blind.

"What are you talking about! It's just that we found ginseng in the mountains, and grandpa will use this money to repay the village."

"Uncle Jiang is so generous!"

When Song Niao heard that they donated money to build a road for the village, he admired his generosity. Which ordinary person would donate so much money to build a road without hesitation? A conservative estimate would be 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.

"It's nothing, it's just my intention. Our Jiang family has been here for generations, and now that I'm rich, I want to help the village. In fact, I'm also a layman. The reason why our village is called Jiangcha Village is because this used to be the ancestral land of our Jiang family."

Grandpa Jiang recalled the past with a hint of regret in his voice.

"Our Jiang family got its start with tea, and there used to be tea trees all over the mountains. Later, as time went by, our tea trees disappeared, and the Jiang family fell apart, but our ancestral land is still there. So this village is still dominated by people from our Jiang family, except for a few outsiders, some of whom were once long-term workers for our Jiang family."

Song Niao understood and understood Grandpa Jiang's feelings. She didn't expect that the Jiang family had such a history. Even after the family changes, he could still maintain this sincerity. The education of the Jiang family is also admirable.
