Mortals cultivating immortals and encountering strange encounters with immortals

In the early morning, the humid air still carries the aroma of green grass. Many crystal clear dewdrops have condensed on the weeds on the roadside. The muddy country roads, muddy creeks and dancing butterflies seem as if it rained yesterday. A heavy rain,

This is Dongling Mountain to the west of Qianlong Town. At the foot of the mountain are several sparse blue-grey tiled houses. In the early morning, facing the rising sun and the slowly rising smoke, the frogs in the pond are chirping happily. The country roads also welcomed the first wave of villagers carrying hoes to work in the fields.

At this time, there was a courtyard at the foot of the mountain near the small river ditch. There were five blue-tiled houses in the courtyard. The lobby was in the middle, and there were two wing rooms on both sides. There was a thatched shed with clean grass on the right side of the wing room. There is a thin horse in the shed. In front of the courtyard, there is a winding dirt road that extends into the distance.

In the early morning, the soft sunlight shines on the bedside through the historic window. The dazzling sunlight wakes the sleeping little boy from his dream.

The little boy rubbed his sleepy little eyes and turned to look at the blue sky outside the window. Through the roof, he could see the clouds rolling in the sky and the grass outside the house swaying in the wind. He greeted the little boy cheerfully and sat for a moment. The little boy hurriedly put on his clothes and headed out the door. At this time, a middle-aged woman walked towards him.

He was dressed in burlap clothes and wore a blue floral scarf on his head. He had dark skin and a yellow face covered with wrinkles. The middle-aged woman looked at the little boy and said;

"Erwazi, are you up? I was about to ask you to eat!"

"Mom, where is dad?"

"Your father went to work in the fields early in the morning! What's wrong?"

"Dad said yesterday that he would take me to work in the fields with him! But he didn't wake me up when he got up!"

The middle-aged woman said;

"Before dawn, your father was about to call you. You were sleeping soundly! He left first! Let's eat first! When your father comes back, you can work in the fields with him! Sooner or later you must learn of!"

"Oh!"

In rural areas, especially in remote mountainous areas, very young children usually help the family with some farm work, such as hoeing grass, herding cattle, plowing the fields, or helping their parents grow vegetables. Sometimes they will also help Cook simple meals at home, or go to the mountains to cut firewood and bring it to the city to exchange for some daily necessities at home.

After leaving the door and coming to the yard, I saw a wooden table full of age and unevenness placed in the yard. The table was wiped clean and the wooden lines were clearly visible. There were several long strips placed around the table. Small bench,

There is a blue and white porcelain bowl on the table. Inside the bowl is fried vegetables. Next to it is a clay pot containing white rice porridge.

At this time, there was a little boy on the table who was dressed simply and had a shaved head. He was about five years old. He was using chopsticks to hold vegetables in a bowl and stuffing them into his mouth. His delicate little face was covered with milky white rice soup and was sparse. The rice grains and green vegetable leaves stick to the face,

Hearing the footsteps of the two, the little boy did not look back. When the middle-aged woman saw this, she just shook her head and sighed. The middle-aged woman said;

"Sanwazi, I've told you many times, eat slowly and eat one bite at a time. Look at you, your rice is everywhere, on your face, on the table, everywhere!"

"Third brother, eat slowly, no one will compete with you!"

The little boy drank a large bowl of porridge, and then looked at the two people who came in front of him, and said vaguely;

"understood!"

The middle-aged woman said nothing. After all, Sanwa was still young and did not understand many principles. She did not know that food was not easy to come by.

Then Erwazi filled a bowl of porridge in a small bowl, took a sip and said;

"Mom, can I take some dry firewood I chopped two days ago to the town to exchange for some money?"

The middle-aged woman took a sip of porridge and was silent for a moment. Then she looked at Erwazi and said calmly;

"You don't need to go. You are still young, and there are many mature people in the city. You will definitely get a price if you go. It's better to wait for your father to do this! You are still young. You can do such a thing. If you don’t come, you should help your father do some work within your ability! Your eldest brother will bring some money back every month! Life is pretty good, so you don’t have to worry!

It’s time for you and your third brother to read and learn to read. Look at the second son of Uncle Wang’s family at the end of the village. He is as old as you and can write couplets. He also knows a lot of Chinese characters! I also heard from Mrs. Wang that they will send Er Gouzi to a private school in a few days! This Wang family will be great in the future! As the saying goes, everything is inferior, only reading is superior! We also need a scholar in our family! "

After hearing what their mother said, they both put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands and looked at each other. Erwazi looked at his third brother's immature face, then turned to look at the middle-aged woman and said;

"Mother, I think it's better to send my third brother to a private school! I don't like reading and writing!"

Hearing Erwazi's words, the middle-aged woman suddenly became furious, slammed the bowls and chopsticks in her hands on the table, looked at the two of them and said;

"Both of your brothers are going to learn a few more words so that they can go to the town to find a good craft in the future. You just hope that you can get married by knowing a few words!"

Frightened by their mother's sudden seriousness and anger, the two could only nod their heads and then immersed themselves in eating.

Erwazi's family name is Qin, and his given name is Wanfeng. There are three brothers in the family. The eldest brother Qin Feng is fourteen years old and works as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop in Qianlong Town. The third brother Qin Lan is less than five years old.

Qin Han, his father, fled here with his father in his early years. Not long after, his father left Hexi. Qin Han himself was also hard-working, and he had several acres of land at a young age. Not long after, he was attracted by Li Er from the next village, so he proposed He betrothed his daughter to him, and not long after they got married, they had Qin Feng. Qin Feng was smart and studious. At the age of six, he had already gone to work as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop in the town.

Qin Wanfeng was only born eight years after his eldest brother Qin Feng. It is said that when Qin Wanfeng was born, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the thunder god rolled. It lasted for nine days and nine nights, and birds and beasts were flying in the sky above the village. After hovering in the middle and shooting a nine-color rainbow in the sky, Qin Wanfeng was born.

The vision at that time was so huge that even Qianlong Town could see it, so some good people came to check it out. Those people left one after another without noticing the vision. Only the village chief named it based on the vision at that time. The evening breeze means that one's life will be smooth and smooth.

After breakfast, Qin Wanfeng cleared the table and washed his third brother's face. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded from a distance, and someone shouted in the distance:

"Father, mother, second brother, third brother!"

Qin Wanfeng immediately put down what he was doing and shouted to the middle-aged woman:

"Mom, is someone calling us?"

The middle-aged woman was walking out of the house with a lot of clothes in her hands.

"Really? Never heard of it!"

"Father, mother, second brother and third brother! I'm back!"

At this time, clear words came again, and it was clear that it was the voice of a young man. After hearing this, the middle-aged woman's face gradually showed a look of surprise, and she hurriedly put down the clothes in her hands and said;

"This sound? Is Feng'er back? Erwazi, please go to the door and have a look?"

"Oh!"

Qin Wanfeng responded, and then hurriedly looked at the door. He saw dust flying not far from the door, and a black horse galloping towards him. On the horse was a seven-foot-tall man with dark skin and flesh all over his body. Heading towards the Qin family on horseback,

Seeing the man, Qin Wanfeng stared blankly with doubts on his face. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. The middle-aged woman urged;

"Is he your eldest brother?"

Qin Wanfeng said;

"Mom, you'd better come and see for yourself! I don't know if it's my eldest brother!"

"You kid, why don't you even recognize your eldest brother?"

The middle-aged woman came to the door and took a look. After seeing the man on horseback, a look of surprise gradually appeared on her face and she said:

"Really Feng'er? Feng'er, why are you back?"

The middle-aged woman showed a bright smile when she saw that the visitor was her eldest son. Since his eldest son went to the town to become an apprentice, he could hardly see him a few times throughout the year, because the blacksmith shop owners generally did not give him holidays and almost never saw him. I spent most of my time working in the blacksmith shop. According to time, today shouldn’t be the day to come back! Then he asked curiously,

Qin Feng saw the three people greeting him at the door from a distance. Then, with a bright smile on his face, he waved to them. When he got to the door, he dismounted and saw his mother, whom he had not seen for a long time.

I saw many more wrinkles and vicissitudes on my mother's yellowed face, and her hands, which had been working all year round, were covered with rough calluses. She was still in her prime in her thirties, but she gradually showed her aging appearance, which was different from the city. The wealthy family and the rich wife are simply incomparable. Thoughts came to my mind, and tears gradually slipped from the corners of my eyes. I suppressed a smile and said with a slightly trembling voice;

"Mom, mother! Thank you for taking care of my father and brothers at home these years!"

The middle-aged woman looked at the visitor with a look of love on her face. To be honest, what he has worried about the most these years is Qin Feng, who went out to be an apprentice at the age of six. He thinks about it day and night, worries about it, and sees him today. After Qin Feng became stronger and stronger, the stone in her heart seemed to be relieved. She took Qin Feng's hand and said;

"Son! It's not easy being outside these years. You have suffered a lot, haven't you?"

"Mom, I haven't suffered. Look, I'm still strong!"

"It's okay if you don't have it, it's okay if you don't have it, come on, come on, let's talk about it in the house first!"

Immediately, Qin's mother pulled Qin Feng into the house, while Qin Wanfeng and Qin Lan followed their mother's left and right sides, looking at the visitor with curious expressions on their faces.

Because he was away from home all year round and went out to study art at the age of six, Qin Wanfeng had no impression of his eldest brother since he was a child. In his impression, his eldest brother was not so strong in physique, but had a thin body and was slightly stronger. Afraid of being blown away
