Chapter 14
Chapter 14
The mountain is quiet, but the Ganoderma lucidum is not as quiet as before.
In the past, he lived with a Ganoderma lucidum plant, and he didn't pay too much attention to the details of his life. He went out when he wanted to eat grass, and returned to Dongfu to live for a while when he had enough, or went back to Ganoderma lucidum cave to sleep.
To this day, Lingzhi's cave is still empty, except for the stone bed on which he sleeps, and the flowers and plants collected for decoration, Xiao Junqian still sleeps on the straw mat. Vines blocked the wind.
Lingzhi has seen in the villages near Wuqing Mountain that the farmers live better. The farmhouses with gardens and yards are spacious and tidy, and wells are introduced into the yards to build ponds to raise fish.
Even if the family is poor, a house with four walls can provide shelter from the wind and rain and have a clean place.
Although Xiao Junqian wore plain clothes and old clothes, such a fairy-like person, not to mention that he had not recovered from the poisoning, still slept peacefully and leisurely on the straw mat every day.
Lingzhi sat at the end of the bed, walked over and stared blankly at Xiao Junqian.
Xiao Junqian woke up and stroked his head.
Lingzhi said: "Junqian, otherwise... how about we move to a bigger cave?"
Xiao Junqian was surprised by what Lingzhi blurted out. This cave is a bit crude, better than being hidden, and it is convenient to get water from behind the mountain. Before the dark guard finds this place, it will be a good time to recover.
Xiao Yan said: "The feng shui here is very good."
The man is gentle and gentle, without complaint.
Lingzhi became more ashamed when he met Xiao Junqian's soft gaze, and he carried a bigger bamboo basket on his back, telling himself to work hard.
There are clusters of trees in the mountains and cool breeze.
Lingzhi leaned against the rocks to rest, and ate a few young leaves and fruits from her bosom.
The long-tailed blue bird fluttered its wings and landed at his feet in an instant. It seemed puzzled by Lingzhi's appearance, doubts flashed across its round bird eyes.
Lingzhi said to herself: "You don't understand, I want to change the cave and add a lot of furniture to the cave."
Having said that, Lingzhi is a lazy Ganoderma, and if he is required to work hard in a short period of time, the effect will not be satisfactory.
Lingzhi was tired from walking and took a nap on the rocks, and when his eyelids couldn't hold on, he would sleep unconsciously on the spot, and when he woke up, the sun was setting, he turned his head and looked at the bamboo basket, which was more than half empty, and said embarrassingly. Hurry back in the direction of Dongfu.
Fireworks are on in the cave, and rich fresh mushroom soup is boiling in pottery.
Lingzhi stepped into the entrance of the cave, met a pair of deep black eyes, froze on the spot, froze for a moment, then ran happily to the side of the plain-clothed and black-haired man like a bird.
"Junqian, you—"
The words slowly swallowed, scratching her hair helplessly, her fingertips touched the man's dropped fingers.
Lingzhi's fingers were warm, but what was different from his was the slightly cool touch of the man's palm.
Xiao Yan took off a few leaves hanging from the back of Lingzhi's head, and straightened his messy hair.
Lingzhi smiled, showing her white teeth.
He shyly said: "Today...today I was lazy and didn't pick too many herbs."
Xiao Yan said: "It's not my fault to let you work hard alone. When I feel better, I will go down the mountain with you."
Lingzhi shook her head: "It's not bitter, it's not bitter."
Xiao Junqian still told Lingzhi stories at night, but unfortunately Lingzhi was too sleepy, hugged the man's arm, and fell into a dream with long breaths.
The next day, Lingzhi woke up on his stone bed, while Xiao Junqian was lying on the straw mat.
He walked gently to the side of the grass mat with his feet on his feet, tidied up the herbs he had accumulated recently, and took out Xiao Junqian's separate decoction and put it away, and said in a low voice: "Junqian, I'm going down the mountain. "
Xiao Junqian shook his wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "Be careful on the road."
Lingzhi hummed meekly, and did not forget to tell: "Remember to drink the medicine, the body will get better soon after taking the medicine,"
It wasn't until the sound in the cave faded away that Xiao Yan closed his clothes and stood up, frowning at the medicine.
The medicine that the little medicine man gave him had little effect compared to the medicine he had taken in a coma for a few days. If he hadn't vomited blood and fell into a coma, Lingzhi would not have given the medicine.
Now Lingzhi's heart is attached to him, her heart is as clear as a bright stone in water, and she can see through any thoughts. In this way, that medicinal material should be extremely precious and rare to Lingzhi, and she will not take it out unless it is absolutely necessary.
It's ridiculous to think about it. If there is a medicine stone in the world that can cure the poison of the Zen heart, there will be only one.
At the foot of the mountain, Lingzhi and a family borrowed an ox cart, rode unsteadily on the back of the ox, and drove slowly to the neighboring village.
Although his clothes are rough and old, his face is white and his lips are red, his brows and eyes are smiling like water waves. He rides on the ox like a fairy descended into the world. All the villagers he saw on the way stopped to look at him more.
The cow under Lingzhi was very obedient, at first Lingzhi was staggering, but now the cow walked steadily, with a light pat on its head, it knew which way to go.
Lingzhi went to the courtyard of the old doctor with a gray beard and knocked on the door. Lan Wenxuan who came to open the door saw him, and his gentle expression froze for a moment before turning to surprise.
"Lingzhi, you are here today."
Lingzhi nodded. The cow was too tall, and he was about to climb down slowly. Lan Wenxuan gave him a hand and helped him to climb the cow steadily.
"I'll bring the herbs."
Lingzhi untied the bamboo basket on his back, and Lan Wenxuan saw that his slender body was carrying such a big bamboo basket, so he hurriedly led him in, poured herbal tea and handed him.
Lingzhi took a few sips of tea, her eyes brightened.
"It's ice."
Lan Wenxuan said: "I transported some ice cubes from the town the day before yesterday and put them in the cellar for storage. In the hot summer, I used them as iced plum wine, which master and the elderly like to drink."
Lingzhi lowered her head and drank a bowl of cold tea, Lan Wenxuan said, "Come in and tell me, I'll give you another bowl of water."
The old doctor was dispensing medicine packs in the main room, and when he saw Lingzhi coming, he waved to him: "What medicine did the baby bring over again?"
Lan Wenxuan answered, "They are all good medicinal materials."
The old doctor poked his neck, rummaged through it, and let out a hoot: "We have been searching for these silver string moons for several months, but we haven't found them."
Yinchuanyue is a precious medicinal herb, and the old doctor is willing to use money and Lingzhi to collect it, but he can't take too much.
He said: "Baby, this old man has an idea for you. You will share two of Yinchuanyue with me, and sell the rest to the pharmacy in the city. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy is a smart man. Wenxuan will go to the city with you to do errands, and I will show you. Take it back with a lot of money, so that he won't see you simply blackmailing you, how about it?"
Lingzhi nodded and said yes, Lan Wenxuan finished packing, led the carriage to the door, and put a few large and small medicine bags into the carriage.
When Lan Wenxuan went to the city this time to deliver medicine to an old friend of his master, he first took Lingzhi to Guiyuantang along the way.
When the shopkeeper saw the gentle young man next to the boy, he knew that he might not be able to take advantage of it today.
Except for Yinchuanyue, all the herbs Lingzhi brought were sold to the old doctor.The silver strings are rare and expensive, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw it, he touched it fondly, and bought it on the spot.
Lan Wenxuan came forward to discuss the price with the shopkeeper. The young man looked gentle, but he never gave in to the shopkeeper's repeated temptations. Lingzhi carried it in her pocket, a piece of her robe was bulging.
Lingzhi opened her lips slightly: "A lot of money..."
It turned out that after Lan Wenxuan talked with the shopkeeper for so long, he was able to get a lot of money in exchange.
He looked up at Lan Wenxuan, his eyes full of admiration.
Lan Wenxuan cleared his throat, blushed slightly, and said, "Uncle Lin likes to copy, I'm going to buy some pens and ink for the study, just wait for me for a while."
Lingzhi nodded obediently, Lan Wenxuan drove to the outside of the study, Lingzhi lifted the curtain of the car, saw someone entering, looked around, and was suddenly attracted by a peddler selling candied haws.
He jumped out of the car to chase the peddler and asked for a bunch of candied haws.The peddler didn't have too many copper coins to ask him, so he stuffed him with a few more strings.
Lingzhi grabbed a bundle of candied haws with both hands, and wandered outside the study.
A man squatting behind the stone pillar in front of the study door was puzzled by his mysterious shaking of hands, and walked over to meet the man's eyes.
The man covered his eyes and ears and asked, "Sir, do you want to buy a book?"
Lingzhi: "Book?"
He remembered that Junqian had told him a lot of stories, and Junqian should have read many books, so he nodded and wanted to buy a few books to make him happy.
The man smiled from ear to ear, and immediately took out a few books from under his cuffs. Although Lingzhi didn't know a lot of big characters, he felt that the secretary's seal and painting were exquisite.
The man said: "Sell it to the young master at a low price. After finishing this transaction, I will call it a day and go home."
Lingzhi took out a few pieces of silver, and the man hurriedly stuffed the books to him: "Young master, take it!"
On the way of speaking, people ran away in a hurry.
Lingzhi put away the exquisitely sealed and painted book, took a bite of a bunch of candied haws in her hand, and several people dressed as yamen servants walked towards her.
Lan Wenxuan bought the four treasures of the study, and as soon as he came out, he immediately pulled Ling Zhi behind him, and said politely to several government servants: "What's the matter with the officials, my brother is young and ignorant, just tell me."
The yamen servant stared at him, seeing that the gentle young man was not humble, he snorted coldly and said, "Have you ever seen a man who is eight feet tall and looks extraordinary?"
Eight-foot men are rare, and what's more, they have extraordinary looks?
Lan Wenxuan smiled: "If there are people in this city like the official said, it will be unforgettable."
The official frowned, and unfolded a picture scroll from his waist: "That's him, have you seen it?"
Lan Wenxuan took a closer look and shook his head: "I've never seen it before."
The official saw that his expression was the same, so he started to draw together.
Before leaving, he saw the young man hiding behind the gentle youth, he looked beautiful, but he was dumbfounded, he must be a fool.
Lan Wenxuan asked Lingzhi to sit in the carriage, and when delivering the medicine, he said with emotion: "Today, I see that there are too many officers and soldiers coming and going in the city. I think it's not peaceful recently, so it's better for Lingzhi to go out less."
After a while, I heard a soft reply from the boy in the car.
Lingzhi carefully wrapped the remaining candied haws in oiled paper, and asked through the car curtain, "Lan Wenxuan, who are they looking for, and why are they looking for him..."
Those few people didn't look kind at all, although the people on the picture scroll were not as pleasing to the eye as real people, Lingzhi recognized at a glance that it was Xiao Junqian who he picked up back to the cave.
What did these officers and soldiers ask Junqian for?
Lingzhi was ignorant, and went all the way back to the cave, and the absent-mindedness was washed away.
He bought new quilts, clothes and shoes from the city, and the big and small bags almost covered his body.
"Junqian, I bought something for you~"
Xiao Yan looked at Lingzhi's unfolded quilt, touched those black and clear eyes, pulled him to her side, and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Lingzhi took out a bulging bag of things in front of her body, and said with a smile, "Candied haws, try it quickly."
Xiao Yan didn't like these sweet and sour foods, but the little medicine man moved quickly, brought the candied haws to his mouth, lowered his head to meet those eyes full of expectation, and lowered his head to bite one.
Xiao Yan said: "It's very sweet."
Lingzhi's face was blushing, and her ears were hot.
Just now... Xiao Junqian just touched his fingers when he ate candied haws.
With a shake of his hand, the books hidden in his sleeve fell to the ground.
Xiao Yan raised her eyebrows, picked up those books with beautiful seals and paintings, and opened a page casually, and she saw the enthusiastic and straightforward "Guanyin sitting on the lotus"
Xiao Yan was about to smile: "Lingzhi, what is this?"
