Ginseng

"Linshan, Linshan."

A Shen's voice suddenly came from Gu Linshan's mind, which made him wake up slightly.Just as he was about to ask, a pill was stuffed into his mouth by Asen, and his voice came from his mind again.

"Shhh, don't make a sound near the mountain, as soon as you make a sound, it will scare them all away. Do you still remember the elixir I gave you today? That medicine has the effect of warding off the cold, and it can keep you safe at night in Muliang Mountain." Activities. I have cast a spell on you to keep you breathing in the water, but only for a stick of incense."

At night in Muliang Mountain, human beings can't survive at all, and even monsters like Zhuqing Chaoyan won't travel easily at night.In many cases, when the night falls, the Muliang Mountain is often completely silent, like a dead mountain.

And Asan's cave was set up as a barrier by him, so Gu Linshan had to stay in Asan's cave every day and night these days.

The elixir mentioned by A Shen can allow Gu Linshan to move around in the mountains in a short period of time.

"Linshan, listen, I have to stay outside here to watch the moonlight. I will send you into the water first. Remember, after you get into the water, swim to the place where the white light is shining at the bottom of the lake, and you will see a white lotus. Among the white lotuses Have a lotus heart, don’t hesitate when the time comes, eat it immediately after picking it off. Then swim out of the lake, run deep into the forest, and try to stay away from the lake.”

"Linshan, you will encounter illusions during the process of taking the lotus heart. You have to remember that those are all fake, so don't be fooled."

"Linshan, hurry up, I'll wait for you to come back."

……

Gu Linshan was swimming in the dark bottom of the lake, the darkness inside the lake and the lake surface were two extremes.He didn't dare to think too much, but kept in mind Asan's instructions, and swam to the depths of the lake.

Gu Linshan was worried about the safety of Ashen on the shore, so he swam forward with all his strength, and soon reached the bottom of the lake, where he saw a white lotus.

The lotus heart in the white lotus radiated like moonlight, Gu Linshan reached out to remove it, he was overjoyed, he never thought it could be done so easily.After taking it, he immediately turned around and swam to the lake.

However, the surface of the lake, which seemed so close at hand, became so far away that no matter how Gu Linshan swam, it was futile and impossible to reach.

Gu Linshan's eyes suddenly became dark, and he could not see a ray of light. The blackness was as thick as ink, which trapped him and gradually wiped out his consciousness.

……

"Shan'er, Shan'er, get up soon."

A woman's soft voice rang in his ears, and Gu Linshan opened his hazy eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the morning sun pierced his eyes. At this moment, a pair of hands were opened to cover his eyes, blocking the sun.

"Look at you sleeping so late and the sun rising so high."

Gu Linshan looked at the woman who spoke, she was smiling gently, she was dressed in coarse cloth, and looked at herself lovingly.

"mother……"

"What's the matter today, silly, it's almost time to eat. I have to study with grandpa in a while. He's going to have a bad back today. Don't forget about it."

grandfather?read?Pull back?Pump your back!

"Ah! Mother, why didn't you wake me up earlier, where is my book, I haven't memorized it yet."

Gu Linshan dressed in a hurry, the woman knocked his head with a smile, "Then we have to eat first!"

"Good good."

Gu Linshan quickly put on his clothes, went to the dining table after washing up, and started to drink the porridge with a big gulp while holding the bowl.

"Hey! You child, eat slowly." The woman looked at him and said helplessly.

"No, I'm running out of time. Grandpa will be back soon." Gu Linshan gulped down the porridge.

The temperature of the porridge is just right, and it is still steaming. It tastes sweet and fragrant. The cooked rice is soft and sticky, making people want to drink more bowls.

Drink more bowls...

His movement of drinking porridge suddenly stopped.

Just now, Gu Linshan suddenly felt a sense of disobedience, what is wrong, what exactly is wrong?

"What's wrong?" The woman noticed something was wrong with him.

"Mother, who cooked this porridge...?"

"Silly boy, of course it's the porridge that mother cooked for you." The woman replied with a smile.

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Gu Linshan's forehead when he heard these words.

His mother was a fool and never knew how to cook.Once she entered the kitchen and almost set the kitchen on fire.Since then, they never allowed mother to enter the kitchen.

And grandpa is old and frail, and sickly, so when Gu Linshan first arrived at the stove, the task of cooking fell on him.

So, I always wake up early to make breakfast for my family, so why would I be too sleepy?Who made the bowl of porridge in front of me?The mother in front of me is again...

"Xiao Shan, are you still eating? Have you remembered what I taught you yesterday?"

Gu Linshan's thoughts were interrupted by an old voice, it was his grandfather who walked in.

"This is porridge from Aunt Wang in your village, drink more."

Aunt Wang?Porridge?

Is the porridge from Aunt Wang?The mother kissed her...

"Porridge... porridge... drink porridge, it's delicious, Shan'er, porridge...mother's porridge."

Gu Linshan turned his head suddenly, and saw the woman with a silly smile on her face, pushing the porridge towards Gu Linshan while talking.

correct.Aunt Wang sent the porridge, so I got up late.

And the mother was as stupid as usual, she didn't know the world, and insisted that it was the porridge made by herself.

Mother is still mother, everything is normal, and there is nothing wrong.

After figuring it out, Gu Linshan finally relaxed and continued to drink the porridge in the bowl.It's just that in a corner deep in my heart, there is still a trace of uneasiness.

Is this really the case?

Gu Linshan was smart since he was a child, and he only needs to read books two or three times before he can remember them forever, so he successfully passed the assessment by his grandfather.After this time, Gu Linshan felt very tired and fell asleep like that.

When he woke up again, Gu Linshan found that he was walking on the rugged mountain road with his grandparents.

He followed his grandfather for a long time in a daze before he regained consciousness.

It turns out that today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, the day when the legendary ghost gate opens.Gu Linshan, along with his grandfather and mother, went to the ancestor's tomb to worship with the incense sticks and paper money they bought.

The burning flames illuminated the faces of the three of them. Gu Linshan looked at his grandfather's wrinkled face and his mother who was giggling on the side, and felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience again.

What's wrong, what's wrong?Where is wrong?

Mother, grandpa, I...

Who is missing?Or... more who?

"It's been ten years since the founding of the country, and it's been two years since you left, but I just feel like you're still by my side every day."

Gu Linshan woke up suddenly when the sound of the paper burner came from next to him. He turned his head and saw that the paper burner was wearing a light green shirt, with a bamboo hat on his head that almost covered his entire face.

Before Gu Linshan could take a closer look, the man suddenly disappeared in place, leaving only ashes on the ground.

Gu Linshan's tears suddenly flowed down. , His shoulders kept shaking, he was in such pain, no matter how much he cried, he couldn't cry enough.

He finally knew what was wrong.

It turns out that it has been ten years since the founding of the country.

Ten years since the founding of the country.This year's Hungry Ghost Festival, there should be only two people, a stupid mother and a weak child.

The two are like floating duckweed, losing their roots.

Because just two years ago, he had no grandfather.

"Xiaoshan, what's the matter, you child, why are you crying suddenly? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we'll go home after the burning, and grandpa will continue to tell you about the deeds of General Lufeng after we get home, okay?"

Gu Linshan raised his head and looked at his grandfather's old face against the firelight. On his face was the anxiety and kindness that he was all too familiar with.

It was a face that Gu Linshan thought he would never see again, even though he already knew that it was all made by illusion.But even though it was fake, he was so grateful for this illusion at this time, allowing him to see grandpa again.

He was still crying. This is an eight-year-old child who has let go of all pretense after seeing the person he loves the most.He is greedy for the warmth at this moment, but he also knows that there are people waiting for him outside the illusion.

That was the one who spared no effort to save him, the one who gave him new life.Although he didn't know anything about him, he couldn't even understand why that person was trying so hard to save him and teach him.

He didn't want to think about it deeply. In short, he only knew that he couldn't let down the people waiting for them outside the illusion, and he couldn't forget the enemy who caused his nightmare and ruined his mother.

Gu Linshan wiped his tears vigorously, "I'm sorry, Grandpa."

"I can't go home."

After hearing these words, the old man seemed to have aged many years in an instant, and tears welled up in his eyes. He gently stroked Gu Linshan's head, as usual.

"Good boy, then go back to where you are supposed to be."

After speaking, the bodies of the old man and the woman slowly disappeared together, and the surrounding illusions also collapsed, gradually forming a trail.

Gu Linshan looked forward, wiped away the unstoppable tears, ran forward all the way, never looked back.
