The forest in early summer is green and pleasant, and a small river flows happily at the foot of the mountain.
With a splash, a wooden fork brought out a jumping fish from the river.
"The fish isn't big, but it's fresh." Lei Zhonglian said, turning around to see that Miss Jun had already laid out the felt mat under the tree.
The small stove was also bubbling with steam. It was making tea now and would be used to make medicine later.
Fang Chengyu did not sit down as usual, but stood under the tree with crutches.
"Put aside your crutches, hold on to the tree and move slowly." Miss Jun said as she placed the food she had just bought in town on the felt mat.
Fang Chengyu was a little hesitant.
"That doesn't look good," he said.
Miss Jun laughed and turned to look at him.
"You've been in the car for too long. You need to move around." She said, "And we're in the wilderness. No one will look after you."
Or maybe she has seen your ugly appearance many times, so moving your body while leaning against a tree is nothing.
Of course, even if we don’t know how to chat anymore, I will never say this.
Fang Chengyu said "Oh".
"I've never done anything like this in my life." He said with a smile, letting go of his crutches.
Suddenly losing his support, he staggered and tried to grab the tree trunk with his hands, but his legs and feet were too weak to keep from sliding down. He had to hold the trunk tighter and put his face against the bark, just in order to avoid falling to the ground.
"This posture is really not good-looking," he said.
Miss Jun smiled and didn't look at him again. Lei Zhonglian also smiled and squatted aside to slowly roast the cleaned fish over the fire.
The aroma of tea, food, and grilled fish spread across the fields.
Fang Chengyu leaned against the rough bark of the tree and looked at the green mountains and clear waters in front of him.
People often say that the spring outings described in books are just like this, except that they don't look pretty like this.
Hugging a tree while playing in the wild is something that has never been done before and will never be done again.
He felt a stinging pain on his face and slowly slid down.
"I can't hold on any longer," he said, and with his hands he pushed the trunk hard and rolled it sideways, at least avoiding having his face scratched by the bark.
He rolled over to the ground, smelled the scent of grass and soil, spread out his arms and legs, and looked at the blue sky with a smile on his face.
His greatest wish was to go out and buy some food in the back alley.
I didn't expect to leave so suddenly. I walked so far.
But this can't be considered walking. It's just borrowing a carriage, but one day he will walk on his own.
This day shouldn't be too far away.
"Young Master, get up and eat," Lei Zhonglian said, as he walked over and offered him a hand to help him up.
Fang Chengyu used his hands to support himself and stood up.
Miss Jun handed him the crutch she had picked up.
"You guys eat first. By the time I come back from collecting herbs, they will have digested the food and be ready to take the medicine," she said.
Fang Chengyu glanced at the hillside beside him. The forest was dense and the rocks were rugged.
"Be careful yourself," he said.
Miss Jun and Lei Zhonglian helped Fang Chengyu sit down on the felt mat.
"I'll be back soon. This herb is very common and easy to find. It's because it's so common that it's not used as medicine yet." Miss Jun said, "Don't worry, I'm very skilled at finding medicine in the mountains."
How come you are so skilled at finding medicine in the mountains?
Fang Chengyu and Lei Zhonglian looked at her.
"There are many mountains in Funing," said Miss Jun. "When I was a child in Runan, I went there with my grandfather."
Fang Chengyu smiled and said nothing.
"Young Madam, you go ahead. I will take care of the young master." Lei Zhonglian said.
Miss Jun smiled.
"I feel most at ease with you taking care of me," she said.
Is it most reassuring to have him take care of you?
Lei Zhonglian looked at Fang Chengyu who was sitting on the cushion.
The boy's face resembled Mrs. Fang's portrait, but his outline was still that of Mr. Fang.
Fourteen years had passed, and he had almost forgotten the description of Mr. Fang. He only remembered that he rode a horse, in his twenties or thirties, full of vigor and vitality.
"This is Double Gun Hualien." He immediately cupped his hands and laughed heartily, "You'll be in charge of this trip."
result……
When he was carried out, his face was covered in blood and he could no longer smile.
Lei Zhonglian felt his eyes dim and he dropped his gaze.
Is it most reassuring to have him take care of you?
Did the young lady know who he was? Did she know that her uncle died under his care?
"Uncle Lei, you should eat too." Fang Chengyu said, looking up at him.
Lei Zhonglian responded by taking a few steps back and sitting on the grass. He opened his own portion and began to eat in silence.
Just as Miss Jun said, she quickly found the herbs she needed in the mountains.
Under the rugged rocks on the mountainside, there are patches of fresh vines.
Miss Jun took out a small shovel and dug up a handful of roots.
These are enough for the next few days. She put away the shovel and was about to get up, her eyes catching sight of a wild flower.
There aren't many wild flowers blooming on the mountain at this time, but it's not rare either.
She paused and looked towards where the wild flowers were.
It was a small goose-yellow flower blooming on the edge of a cliff. It was neither conspicuous nor stunning among the rocks.
Miss Jun stood up suddenly, looking surprised.
It turned out to be the purple fairy plant.
According to legend, this herb was transformed by the fairy Ziying. Its roots have the effect of producing blood, increasing essence, and bringing the dead back to life. It is extremely rare.
Miss Jun was not happy to see this extremely rare herb. Instead, she was surprised and disappointed.
It turned out to be the purple fairy plant.
The master died because of it.
This was something she never understood.
Although this herb is precious and can be sold for a lot of money in the market, the master has never been a person who needs money. If he really needs money, he only needs to tell his name, or even not his name, and he can open a clinic on the street to diagnose patients. He can get as much money as he wants, and he can make much more than just a herb.
But the master had been searching for this herb, and in the only book he had ever written there was a vine of the Asclepiadaceae plant.
And once he looked at the vine, shook his head and sighed, "It's not enough, not enough."
So after he fell off the cliff and died, he was still holding the purple fairy plant tightly in his hand.
She also put the purple fairy plant into her master's relic box along with the journal.
Although I didn’t understand, I knew that this herb must be very important to Master.
Since he always says it's not enough, the disciples should pick them for him when they see him.
Miss Jun looked at the purple fairy plant and stepped forward.
The Purple Yingxian plant grew on the edge of the cliff, and its rhizomes spread in the cracks of the rocks. Miss Jun squatted down and carefully dug out the rocks. She was sweating under the mountain wind blowing by the cliff, and then slowly twisted the Purple Yingxian plant. , long roots swaying in the mountain wind.
This purple angel plant is quite old.
The master must be very happy.
Miss Jun smiled, and at that moment she heard a crisp sound in her ears, and the rock under her feet collapsed.
Miss Jun felt that her body was suspended in the air. Fortunately, she reacted in time and grabbed a rock behind her. The rocks under her feet rolled down like thunder, and half of her body was suspended in the air.
Miss Jun broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and she slowly raised her hanging right hand.
He still held the purple fairy plant tightly in his hand.
Legend has it that the purple fairy plant does not like to be climbed and plucked, and once it is plucked, it will fall off the cliff.
This is certainly not because it is truly spiritual, but because it likes to grow in the cracks of loose cliff rocks, and will loosen the rocks when being picked.
This is also why Master lost his life.
Miss Jun carefully climbed up the rock with her right hand that was holding the purple fairy plant, and tried to climb up by pushing against the cliff wall. But she heard the sound of the rock loosening again, and at the same time she felt the rock she was holding on to begin to shake.
No way.
Miss Jun froze.
Is she going to die for a purple fairy plant like her master?
Is she going to die again?
I'm going to die again when I haven't done anything yet?
Is it possible to be reborn after death?
Miss Jun didn't know what to think at this moment. All kinds of strange thoughts seemed to explode in her mind at the same time, and at the same time, she felt blank.
The sound of loose rocks in my ears and the shaking of rocks in my hands were so clear and despairing.
"Why!"
Suddenly there was a man's cry of surprise, and at the same time the sound of footsteps was heard.
Miss Jun subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man walking down the hillside. It was noon and he had his back to the sunlight, which was so glaring that she couldn't look directly at him.
As the voice sounded, it seemed as if in the blink of an eye the man was already standing two or three steps in front of her. He squatted down cautiously and reached out to grab her hand that was holding the purple fairy plant.
With great force, Miss Jun felt that the trembling and loosening sounds disappeared in an instant, and at the same time the man's voice rang in her ears again.
The voice was clear and a little curious.
"What are you playing at, little girl?" he said.
What to play?
This guy is really gifted, you can tell he's just having fun.
So this is considered risking your life, right?
Miss Jun said in her heart, looking at the man in front of her.
He did not pull her up, but pressed the back of her hand and pinched the purple fairy plant.
