Nanshanxia

Because the family got two fat big pheasants, Lao Zhu’s family became active again, especially the old lady Zhu, who now picks the meat of the pheasants with a knife in the kitchen. She kept the breast meat and chicken legs, and planned to After a while, it will be processed into stewed meat, and it will be saved for Zhu Yan when there is no meat to eat in the future.

Of course, Zhu Yan didn't know what the old lady was thinking at this moment. When he was washing, he accidentally touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck. He took it off his neck and carefully observed the jade pendant in his hand.

The jade pendant is in the shape of a carp, the whole body is white, and it feels soft and smooth to the touch. Zhu Yan doesn't know jade, but from the appearance, he can guess that the jade pendant is not bad. He remembered that the jade pendant was left by the original owner's mother I stopped playing with it, and wanted to continue wearing it, but unexpectedly found that the jade pendant in my hand suddenly became hot and shone brightly. Zhu Yan was puzzled, like a piece of ice, in the Under his gaze, it slowly melted into the palm of his hand, turning into a bright red mole.

The red line in his hand and the red mole that suddenly appeared on his palm reminded Zhu Yan all the time that what he witnessed just now was not an illusion. He shook his head uncertainly and rubbed his hand with the other hand. The red mole on his palm was neither painful nor itchy, which made Zhu Yan even more curious about what kind of operation it was.

At the same time, Yuan Xiao, who had changed his clothes, came out from the room and found Zhu Yan with a sad face, and asked habitually, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Zhu Yan, who was immersed in thinking, was taken aback by Yuan Xiao's question behind him. He turned around and pretended to shake his head calmly, "It's okay, I just feel that there are too many mosquitoes around here."

"After you finish washing, go back to the room. The mosquitoes are very strong at this time." Yuan Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth in relief, and when Zhu Yan left, he fetched water to wash himself.

Zhu Yan went back to the house, but his mind was still repeating the weird scene that happened just now. Fortunately, there was no other abnormality in his body. After struggling for a while, he began to change clothes and wait for Yuan Xiao to come back. He said a few words before going to bed. He waited and waited for himself to fall asleep first.

Zhu Yan didn't sleep well all night. He had a very long dream. In the dream, he was trapped in a closed space where he couldn't see his fingers. He tried to walk forward and found that every step he took, his own There will be a faint light under his feet.

The faint light in front of his eyes was Zhu Yan's hope. He stretched out his hand to test it, and the light gradually became more and more dazzling around him. After a dazzling light forced Zhu Yan to close his eyes, he heard the gurgling water directly in front of him. .

Zhu Yan was a little curious, and tried to open his eyes. What he saw was no longer the glaring white light, but a spring that was continuously gushing spring water. The sound of running water seemed to be calling Zhu Yan, and Zhu Yan stepped forward in a strange way, lowered his body, took a handful of spring water and tasted it.

The spring water is sweet and refreshing, and instantly wiped away the exhaustion in Zhu Yan's body. Perhaps the clear spring was so cool and stimulating that Zhu Yan woke up from his sleep. He held his forehead and recalled all the things just now, and felt that his dream was abnormal. Clearly, and he felt that he really drank the spring water, and the sweetness of that spring water was still flowing between his teeth.

Zhu Yan couldn't sleep anymore. He heard Yuan Xiao's regular breathing not far away and slowly got up. He walked to Yuan Xiao's bed, looked at Yuan Xiao's steady sleeping appearance, smiled and got up and walked out of the room. To the vegetable garden in the backyard.

At this moment, insects were buzzing around Zhu Yan, but his heart was extremely calm. He didn't know what happened to him today. Ever since the jade pendant melted into his palm, everything seemed to have become even more strange. What about the spring water?

Zhu Yan thought about the spring water in his heart, but he didn't expect that the clear spring that existed in his sleep flowed out from his palm. Zhu Yan was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He watched helplessly as the clear water flowed out from his palm. , blinked in disbelief, and when he stopped reciting the spring water silently, the spring water stopped.

Everything in front of him made Zhu Yan suspect that he was still dreaming. He pinched his arm hard, and the pain from his arm told him all the time that everything in front of him was real. He began to doubt the jade pendant. Maybe it's just a hanger, a hanger that makes him get angry at any time.

Zhu Yan began to meditate on the spring water in his heart again, and sure enough, the spring water flowed out from his palm again, not only that, he could control the size of the water flow with his thoughts, which made Zhu Yan very happy.

During the period, Zhu Yan used the spring water in his hand to water the vegetables in the vegetable garden. After working for a long time, he returned to the house and continued to sleep when he felt sleepy.

Zhu Yan had a good night's sleep for the rest of the night, and did not wake up until his dream was disturbed by the unique voice of a middle-aged and elderly woman outside the door.

"Yuan Xiao, don't get up, I'll go out and have a look." Zhu Yan got up from the kang, just in time to see Yuan Xiao who had just woke up from a dream and had a bunch of dull hair on his head, his heart was soft, he He went down to the ground before Yuan Xiao, put on his coat and walked out of the room to find out.

When Zhu Yan walked out of the room, he saw a few old ladies at the door begging the old lady one by one, and the old lady who was leaning against the door with a radiant look yawned and complained with the group of old ladies: "Why? It's me again? The last time Mrs. Lizheng couldn't go, I took you old sisters to the town, what? Are you following me?"

"Isn't this old sister who is quick in handling things and can help us bargain for a good price for this batch of coarse cloth!"

"That is, there is no one in our village who is so powerful except you, old sister."

From this conversation, Zhu Yan also understood why these elderly women gathered around the door of their house early in the morning. In addition to farming, the women in the village would weave and dye cloth in their free time. Cloth, take it to the town to sell.

But the women in the village are far less eloquent than the merchants in the town and are used to bargaining. Usually, they will gather together and a leader will take them to the town to sell coarse cloth. In the past, Mrs. Ning of Lizheng took them there.

From the analysis of the conversation now, it seems that the Ning family has something to do and can't go, so the burden falls on the old lady Zhu.

In fact, the old lady Zhu does not plan to sell cloth in the town today, one is that the soybean seedlings in the field need her to water and take care of, and the other is that her family finally boiled a pot of chicken soup today, and she wants to drink it at home One bowl, and I will make a chicken noodle soup at noon, but when she saw her A Yan coming out to fetch water to wash her face, she suddenly remembered the face that wished her second son to come to her house yesterday. An old sister said: "Then Li Lanhua also sells cloth today?"

Li Lanhua is the daughter-in-law married to Zhu's second son. She wears heavy makeup and speaks coquettishly on weekdays. She is deeply loved by the old men in the village, and she has also become the object of hatred of the women in the village. She came to see the old lady Zhu. These old ladies knew that Mrs. Zhu didn't like Li Lanhua, so in order to please Mrs. Zhu, they chattered even more.

"According to Li Lanhua's temperament, he will definitely go. We heard about it yesterday. Zhu Yan's second son came to ask Gui Xiang to leave Zhu Yan's only thought. Oh, hey, this is really bloody!"

"That's right, there's no one who does things like this. Well, old sister, your eldest grandson is really well. You see, he seems to be more energetic than before, and he can help with work. This young man is really nice."

If anyone is said to be the weak point of the old lady Zhu, it must be Zhu Yan. These women finally got the right flattery. The old lady looked at Zhu Yan who was grinding beans with her old man, the corners of her mouth raised, and she hummed proudly With a sound, she was no longer awkward at this time, and waved her hands at those old sisters who were staring at her, "Okay, okay, stop talking, I'll go, and I will lead you there after I finish eating." town."

After seeing off the group of old sisters, the old lady Zhu stepped forward to stop Zhu Yan who was grinding with the old man, "Oh, my good grandson, grandma agreed with you to help the house, but I didn't ask you to work so hard." Ah, come and wipe off your sweat!"

Zhu Yan knew that Mrs. Zhu loved him dearly, so he took the cloth handkerchief that Mrs. Zhu handed over and wiped the sweat off his face, before saying to Mrs. Zhu, "Grandma, I'm well now, and I can support you." It's a labor, I'll help, and the work will be done quickly."

"Grandma, I know you are sensible, but I'm also afraid that you will wear out your bones. I should have agreed with you to help you grind tofu for grandpa and the others." The old lady Zhu stomped her feet regretfully, thinking about the tofu grinding. What kind of light work?

"Okay, old lady, don't talk about Ayan, I won't make Ayan tired if I stare at you, so don't worry." The old man Zhu, who had been watching the excitement, spoke at this time, and he kept talking. On the one hand, he explained to Zhu Yan, and then escaped another nagging from the old lady Zhu.

There are three hardships in making a living in the world, punting boats and making iron to grind tofu. Under the leadership of the old lady Zhu, the Zhu family did not settle for planting the bean field at the foot of the mountain. They were not busy with farm work, the men sold tofu, and the women sold bean curd. Coarse cloth is used to subsidize the family, and by the way, save money for Zhu Yan to live in the future.

People in the village went to bed early and got up early, and after making tofu, the sky fully lit up. It was still a sunny day, and Lao Zhu's family also started to eat breakfast.

Today, because of the two big pheasants that Yuan Xiao brought back last night, everyone got up very early, and the old lady Zhu even served Zhu Yan the chicken soup she had boiled all morning, and then served it to others.

Everyone is used to wishing the old lady's eccentricity, and no one dared to say anything. Besides, today's food is really good, so I don't even have the mood to think about what I have.

Zhu Yan drank the thick and delicious chicken soup, and glanced at Yuan Xiao who had just gone to the mountain with Bai Zhen to collect firewood and came back to eat. Seeing that he drank seriously, his mood improved accordingly.

The dining table was full of the sound of chewing food, no one took the initiative to speak, and the old lady Zhu took the lead in breaking the quiet situation.
