The Spring Festival party is not over yet. Ji Tianci is still watching the last few programs of the party. Suddenly, his father raised his voice and shouted two words.
"What?"
The wind long holding the receiver dumbfounded.
Chapter 21 Brinton
Ten years ago, a couple lived in Chegu Guanguan. The man named Ji Le and the woman named Zhang Ying.
Ji Le’s father, Ji Yifan, had a close friend named Zhang Wen in his early years. Zhang Wen lived in Xiangyang City, which is a prefecture-level city and also under the jurisdiction of Duyan City.
Zhang Wen can be said to be a city dweller with a good family background. He is a Feng Shui master who specializes in showing Feng Shui to wealthy families. In those days, when people wanted to have bad feng shui at home, they would invite the Feng Shui master to change the layout of the home.
Later, the country vigorously advocated "anti-feudalism and anti-superstition" and Zhang Wen was regarded as "a person who hindered social development". He left Xiangyang City with his wife and three-year-old daughter Zhang Ying and lived in seclusion in the countryside, and his seclusion village was Jinniu Village.
When Zhang Wen first entered Cheguguan, he had a good talk with Ji Yifan. They talked about the Book of Changes for a whole day. Ji Yifan looked at the Book of Changes and measured his fortune.
The two men walked different roads, but the quality was the same. Their heroes cherished each other and met each other late.
Later, Zhang Wen went to Chegu every day to see Ji Yi, who talked about Ji Le as a four-year-old elder, and he played with Zhang Ying. The two fathers watched the children play together and settled on a young marriage in their hearts.
Ji Le and Zhang Ying have lived together since they were young. They were not sent to study at that time. The college entrance examination has just resumed. There is no school in the countryside. Ji Le studied acupuncture and Zhang Ying studied geomantic omen.
Day by day, Ji Le and Zhang Ying’s mother have become close friends. They are both Taoist priests. Although their lives are a little poor, they all know how to be content.
When Ji Le was ten years old, she held a wedding in Zhangying Village. At that time, she didn’t get a license because they were all under the legal age of marriage in the new marriage law.
On the wedding day, Sister-in-law Brinton Zhang Yue also came back.
Zhang Yue is also a Feng Shui master. She is an unmarried person who is bent on seeking truth. At first, Zhang Wen chose to live in the countryside and Zhang Yue smuggled into the United States by boat.
At that time, divination prevailed in the United States, and Zhang Yue also knew how to count easily. When she came to the United States, her three ancient copper coins were used to tell people’s fortune, but she also got some famous names. Later, her nobles helped her get a green card and lived a rich life.
Zhang Yue wanted to live in the United States with his niece and family, but Ji Yifan said that Taoist priests should not covet wealth and wealth, and people who are nine secluded places should be nine secluded places, otherwise the branches and leaves will flourish and there will be no roots.
Zhang Wen has the same attitude. He wants to leave his family skills in nine secluded places. Zhang Jiazu is said to be the founder of Tianshidao, Zhang Ling, also known as Zhang Tianshi by later generations. Zhang Wen was born with a mission. He wants to inherit this only geomantic skill in nine secluded places.
Zhang Yue said that the two men had returned to the United States alone.
After Ji Le and Zhang Ying’s wedding, Zhang Ying wanted to travel, so Ji Le accompanied Zhang Ying out of town with only some savings at home.
At that time, there was no word in Jinniu Village. Every time they went to a city, they would write letters and send them home, but they couldn’t receive letters from home because they didn’t have a fixed address outside.
After half a year, Ji Le spent all her savings and they returned to the village, but the scene in the village changed greatly.
In the past six months, infectious diseases broke out in Jinniu village, and many villagers were infected with tuberculosis, which was almost incurable at that time.
The villagers went to Chegu to pray, and Ji Yifan and Zhang Wen also collected herbs and distributed them to the villagers.
Ji Yifan’s Chinese herbal medicines were tortured by fog to stabilize the villagers’ condition, but he didn’t collect many herbs and distributed them door to door.
In order to save resources and prevent Ji Yifan and the village head from mixing traditional Chinese medicine in the Taoist temple of the sick villagers’ department every day, and then adding appropriate water to heat it to produce fog, which can attack tuberculosis after being inhaled. During that period, fog rose all day in Cheguguan.
There seems to be a god in the Taoist temple to bless the death of another villager. The villagers’ condition has been alleviated, but the herbs in the Taoist temple are running out. Yifan and his wife Zhang Wen decided to go to various Chinese medicine hospitals in Duyan City to buy some more herbs. The villagers donated money one after another, and when they got enough money, they went to the city without stopping.
It was originally agreed to go and return on the same day, but they didn’t come back after two days. Some people in the village suspected that they had run away with the money, but immediately they thought it was impossible, not to mention that the money was not too much. It was impossible to do so based on years of understanding that these two families were both good people.
Afraid that they might encounter an accident, the village chief arranged for several young and strong boys in the village to go out and look for them. As a result, a few boys just walked out of the village and soon found that a section of the national highway was blocked by landslides. It was during the rainy season in summer that a large piece of "meat" was loosened from the mountain next to the road because of rain soaking, and a hill was piled up on the road.
The city highway bureau arranged a rescue team to clean up the rocks. It is said that they found a sack of Chinese herbal medicine in the landslide. As soon as they heard it, the village boy felt bad and went to see the sack.
The herbs in the sack were really herbs for treating tuberculosis. They began to panic. One person returned to the village and told the village chief that several people helped clean up the rocks together.
Not long after, almost all the villagers in Jinniu Village came, and they all joined the team to clean up the rocks with shovels if they wanted to do farm work.
Hundreds of people have been digging from noon to night. When they are hungry, they sit on the side of the road and have something to eat. No one complains that they are tired or sleepy. Everyone’s heart is heavy and there is always a bad feeling.
In the early morning, the searchlight of the rescue team showed a wooden cart, which had been pressed into the bed and exposed a corner with a trace of blood.
All a surprised hurriedly carefully dug up the scooter this area.
An hour later, everyone at the scene put their tools in their hands, and the villagers looked at the scooter and couldn’t help crying.
The scooters are four crushed bodies, and the clothes are also dusty, but the villagers can still recognize them as Ji Yifan and Zhang Wen.
They were all covered with a sack filled with Chinese herbal medicines for the village. Although the sacks were all broken, most of the Chinese herbal medicines were not polluted but stained with some blood.
The villagers carried the four people back to the Taoist temple, and all the way, one person spoke, except for crying, and everyone seemed not to want to wake the four people.
The village chief decided to bury the four men at the foot of the statue of the Yellow Emperor in Xuanyuan Hall, and every villager worshipped the Yellow Emperor together.
The sick villagers have been greatly improved after being atomized by this bloody herbal medicine. After this batch of herbal medicines, everyone has recovered and the climate has turned cold. No cases have been found in the village.
These rehabilitated villagers go to Xuanyuan Temple to worship the village head almost every day, feeling heavy-hearted and ashamed of the two families. He resigned from his post and opened a canteen at the gate of the Taoist temple, trying to accompany the villagers and losing four lives.
Since then, people have called him "old village head" or "old yellow head"
When Ji Le and Zhang Ying came back, the villagers couldn’t bear to tell them the truth. Finally, Lao Huangtou choked back his grief and told the story.
Although Ji Le and Zhang Ying are sad in their hearts, they are not yet heartbroken. They have been learning from childhood, and their relatives have passed away constantly. Although they are young, their life and death are lighter than ordinary people.
After death, you should enjoy bliss. Both Ji Le and Zhang Ying think that when their parents die, they must go to bliss.
After three years of filial piety, they got a marriage certificate. Zhang Ying said that she wanted to leave the village and go outside to break into Jile, but her parents didn’t travel far.
Their parents are not only Zhang Ying and Bai Jile, but also Zhang Ying respects Ji Le as a filial piety.
At the end of this year, Zhang Yue came to Taoist Temple again. It was Christmas Eve and Americans had a long holiday. When Zhang Yue learned that her brother had passed away, she felt sorry. She wanted to take Zhang Ying to the United States, but Zhang Ying couldn’t let Ji Le go. The old Huangtou grocery store installed a message and Zhang Yue wrote down the number when he left.
In the next few years, Zhang Yue often called Zhang Ying, and Zhang Yingxin had already flown to the United States. She knew that her elder sister-in-law was doing well in the United States. She longed for her elder sister-in-law to describe her life, but Ji Le refused to go to the United States anyway and refused to leave his Taoist temple. He seemed to be carrying a mission, but he didn’t know what it was until Ji Tianci appeared …
Zhang Ying plans to leave Jiuyou country after giving birth to a child for Ji family, but she has never been pregnant for many years.
The two have been married for ten years since the wedding, and Ji Le has been married for twenty years. In the winter of this year, Zhang Yue returned to Jiuyou country again, and brinton couldn’t wait. She was also nearly thirty, and if she didn’t go out, she would never get out again.
She left a note and went with her elder sister-in-law to Wuyang City, Zhouhui, where she stayed for a week. My elder sister-in-law helped her with her passport and visa. It seems that Zhang Yue and the United States know several important people, otherwise the visa would not be processed so quickly. It was still that time.
Brinton didn’t hesitate to fly to the United States with her elder sister-in-law, leaving Jile alone to guard the Taoist temple.
As soon as she arrived in the United States, Zhang Ying called Ji Le and told him that it was good to come here and let him come, but Ji Le was stubborn as a stone and never put it aside.
Ji Le doesn’t hate Zhang Ying, but feels happy for Zhang Ying. Monks pay attention to nature. Since Zhang Ying wants to go out and fetters her, it’s unnatural to let her go.
I feel sad in my heart. I can think of her every day and comfort myself by saying, "Let it rain if Niang wants to get married."
Zhang Ying and Ji Le are afraid of not letting go of each other and remembering the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, so they meet to talk once a year, and they have too many thoughts on weekdays.
Later, Ji Le felt that he had a camera that often floated with "snowflakes". He simply gave himself a name "Qingfeng" and remained uncorrupted.
Every year, this call is made by Zhang Ying. Because the overseas language is too expensive for Ji Le to afford, they will talk about what happened in this year. Zhang Ying naturally knows that Ji Tianci is still her mother.
When the new year came again, the words rang as usual, and a female voice came into the receiver, but the short four words surprised Taoist Qingfeng.
