Immortals Step into Heaven

I used stones, wooden boards and straw to build a weird doghouse for Xiao Hei, which was not at all beautiful.

Looking at the doghouse Zheng Yuan had built, Ling'er looked at each other and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Hahaha!!!

Ling'er and I have been working on it for a long time and now the doghouse looks pretty good. Let's let Xiao Hei try out the new doghouse to see if it is suitable.

When Xiao Hei saw the appearance of the doghouse, he was so angry that he ran around and yelled. Finally, after being comforted by Zheng Yuan, he reluctantly moved into his new doghouse. There was nothing his owner could do, so he had to make do with it!

The two of them struggled with the doghouse again, but to no avail. It was getting late and Ling'er wanted to go home.

I don’t know why! Since Xiao Hei came to Zheng Yuan’s house, he has been very active. He runs outside every day and I don’t know what he does outside.

As Xiao Hei grew older, he became smarter and smarter, almost able to understand human speech. Zheng Yuan hadn't paid much attention to him for the past two months. Perhaps he didn't have as much freedom at Aunt Wang's house! He let him roam freely, worked peacefully on his ironwork, went to school at noon, and lived a quiet and simple life.

Xiao Hei was a little abnormal today. He always ran to Zheng Yuan's feet, bit Zheng Yuan's clothes and ran out. When he saw Zheng Yuan didn't move, he came to bite him again, as if he wanted to take Zheng Yuan somewhere.

Alas! Zheng Yuan had no choice but to jog along with Xiao Hei. In less than a minute, they were out of the village and Xiao Hei ran towards the forest. Zheng Yuan followed behind, shouting, "Xiao Hei, where are you taking me?"

Xiao Hei turned around and howled twice, then continued running.

Watching Xiao Hei running further and further away. Hey! Zheng Yuan smiled bitterly. Normally, I'm the one walking the dog, but today, the dog is the one walking me. What a rollercoaster!

Xiao Hei didn't stop until he ran under a tree, under which there were dense weeds.

Xiao Hei barked at Zheng Yuan, digging the ground under the tree with his two dog legs. Zheng Yuan came over to Xiao Hei. He took a closer look and felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart. These were the branches and leaves of old ginseng, sixth grade leaves. Zheng Yuan immediately found a branch nearby, and the man and the dog began to dig ginseng.

First, I dug a circle around the old ginseng, for fear of breaking the roots. The roots are good things, and the essence is all in the roots. It took me a long time to dig.

Zheng Yuan was exhausted and sweating, but he was still very happy. He dug a circular pit and lifted the old ginseng out along with the soil. Unfortunately, there was no water source nearby.

If there is water, just rinse it with water, and the dirt on it will be gone and it will be clean. If there is no water, you can only use a wooden stick to slowly knock off the dirt. He knocked the dirt on the old ginseng slowly and lightly. If you knock too hard, it will easily break the roots. After all, this thing is very precious.

It took Zheng Yuan about half an incense stick of time to clean the dirt off the old ginseng. Looking at the old ginseng's slender legs and numerous roots, it must be at least a hundred years old.

Zheng Yuan was very happy looking at this old ginseng. He touched Xiao Hei's dog head and said, I didn't expect that Xiao Hei had this ability. You are so amazing!

You are going to become a god dog! Xiao Hei jumped for joy and howled loudly when he heard Zheng Yuan's praise, as if he was showing off his great ability.

Looking at Xiao Hei's smug look, I'll go home and give you a snack, a bigger snack. When Xiao Hei heard about the snack, he immediately ran to Zheng Yuan and rubbed his head against him.

After packing up the old ginseng, Zheng Yuan put it in his arms and kept it close to his body. When he returned home, he did not tell his father, but hid the old ginseng and waited for the opportunity to take it out, because this matter was indeed surprising. If others knew that Xiao Hei had the ability to find old ginseng, wouldn't that be a disaster caused by the mouth?

Hey!, it is a crime to possess a treasure, and a child to possess gold. This is no joke, it can really cost someone's life. Xiao Hei's affairs must not be known to anyone, and no one can be told. This is a secret between Zheng Yuan and Xiao Hei.

After returning home, Zheng Yuan found a wooden box, wrapped the old ginseng with a clean cloth, put it into the wooden box, and then hid the wooden box under his bed.

At dinner time, Zheng Yuan made a bowl of meat for Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was so engrossed in eating the meat that he couldn't even see the end of it, and his butt was sticking up in the air.

Zheng Chunnian watched Zheng Yuan give a bowl of meat to the dog and scolded him.

Zheng Yuan immediately apologized and put some meat into his father's bowl and said to him, "Dad, this meat is lean and has no fat. Please eat it!"

Zheng Chunnian saw Zheng Yuan's expression and smiled helplessly.

Dad, you cooked this meat well today! It's very tasty and flavorful.

Really? Zheng Chunnian's face lit up and he said, "If it tastes good, eat more. You're still growing, so you need to eat more."

Okay, thank you, Dad. You should eat more. You’ve worked hard today. I can’t finish this plate of meat.

The old man didn't talk much either, and the two of them seldom communicated, and their words were all short and simple. I heard from the villagers that the old man spoke even less after his mother Li Qing'er passed away.

Zheng Yuan's mother Li Qing'er died shortly after giving birth to Zheng Yuan due to complications. All his mother Li Qing'er left for Zheng Yuan was a black bracelet, which he always wore on his hand.

My father and mother, Li Qing'er, are ordinary-looking and come from the neighboring village of Dashan. When Li Qing'er married my father, she only had her elderly father, Li Laotou, to rely on.

Old man Li married his daughter to the old man because he saw that the old man was honest and loyal. He thought that she would never be bullied by this honest man and would live a peaceful and happy life. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.

Old man Li was also very sad when he heard that Li Qing'er had passed away. He often came to visit Zheng Yuan to relieve his longing for his daughter.

Old Man Li is a very cute and somewhat funny grandfather. He always makes Zheng Yuan laugh when he talks.

Zheng Yuan's memory was filled with the laughter of Old Man Li. Unfortunately, when Zheng Yuan was five years old, Old Man Li also died of illness. His father buried them both in the same place and erected two tombstones.

Touching the black bracelet on his hand, Zheng Yuan felt a little heavy-hearted. Old Man Li said that this black bracelet was an heirloom from his family, passed down from generation to generation, and he didn't know how many generations it had been passed down.

He asked me to pass it on to future generations. Zheng Yuan also wondered what was so good about passing on a black bracelet. It was not gold, silver or jade, and this black bracelet looked like it was made of iron. How could it be passed down from generation to generation?

But if it were true, the gold, silver, and jade would have been sold long ago and never passed down. After all, these are hard currencies that can be exchanged for a lot of money. This black bracelet can be regarded as a souvenir. It is safe to wear it. Who would care if you wear an iron bracelet on your hand? Maybe someone would secretly laugh at you.

After eating and drinking, I took Xiao Hei for a walk in the yard at night. Xiao Hei seemed to be integrated with the darkness. In the dark, Xiao Hei could not be seen at all.

Only when Zheng Yuan called Xiao Hei could he feel something rubbing against his feet. If he wasn't used to it, he would have been scared the first time. Xiao Hei's eyes would sometimes sparkle in the dark, and sometimes not.
