Chapter 253 Common ideal
As usual, Old Zhou went to pack up the rabbits, Zheng Xiongqi, Mu Qianxun, and my second grandfather, all sat around the stone table beside the pond behind.
After chatting for a while, Grandpa II remembered something and turned around and went in front.
After a while, he saw two jars in his arms and walked back.
Putting the jar on the stone table, the second grandfather said to us: "This is a fine wine that I have treasured for many years. Today is a good day, so let's celebrate it."
As he said that, he gently smashed the sealing mud on the top of the wine jar, and the fragrance of wine filled the entire space.
Zheng Xiongqi couldn't help but praise: "It smells so good."
Mu Qianxun and I looked at each other and felt that the wine was mellow and extraordinary.
Grandpa II took out five pottery cups from a square hole on the stone wall and poured a full cup for each of us.
Zheng Xiongqi picked up the wine glass and couldn't wait to taste it. He couldn't help but utter a long time, as if it was very helpful.
I raised my hand and looked at the faint purple aura emitted from the pottery cup, and immediately realized that this wine is very likely to be brewed with the water in Qianlongyuan and the medicinal materials nourished by Qianlongyuan.
After drinking and eating meat, I only felt my blood rushing all over my body, every pore was moistened by spiritual energy, and my whole body was filled with peace.
Seeing that it was still early, I said to my second grandfather: "Second grandfather, why don't we go down the mountain here."
The second grandfather nodded and said, "It's not too late, let's set off now."
"Okay," I stood up, followed my second grandfather and arrived at the front hall.
We went down the vine staircase one by one, and Grandpa II was the last one.
I was afraid that he would not come down and went back with us.
But I saw him carrying a bag, carrying it on his back, and it followed him down, which greatly relieved me.
Our group of five, led by our second grandfather, moved towards the sinkhole behind the mountain.
Through a large lush primeval forest, we finally reached the edge of the sinkhole before dark.
On the open space at the edge of the sinkhole, I set up a tent to rest for a night.
At night, Zheng Xiongqi and I were crowded in the same tent, while my second grandfather slept in my tent.
Along the way, the second grandfather was quite kind to Mu Qianxun.
I originally thought that when my second grandfather knew Mu Qianxun’s surname, he would be somewhat resistant to Mu Qianxun.
What I didn't expect was that the two of them talked more along the way.
Mu Qianxun is very willing to share with us what happened when he was a child and some of his family's situations.
From her sporadic narratives, we learn that the last three generations of the Mu family are all native names of the natives in Tianxin City.
And they can be called a family of justice, and grandpa and dad were both famous barristers in their time.
Although the descendants of the Mu family are not very prosperous, there are also several direct blood relatives. There are many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen here.
When night fell, we once again witnessed the light that was even more magical than the aurora.
The lights were very light, penetrated straight into the sky, and it was faintly pierced through the sky.
Looking at the lights, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and my heart was always surrounded by the appearance of the pillar.
I don't know whether the light was emitted by that pillar.
But the five shallow pits on the pillar kept reminding me that I would get five pieces of jade.
Curiosity seemed like a deep vortex, hovering in my heart, and I didn't fall asleep again when it was almost dawn.
The first ray of light in the morning woke me up, and we packed our breakfast and left.
By the time we finally returned to the first camping place, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.
When we arrived at the stream, we stopped, put down our luggage, and sat by the clear stream to rest.
Half an hour later, we were about to set out on the itinerary again.
At this time, Grandpa II suddenly stopped and did not go with us.
I walked out and found something was wrong.
Turning back to look at the second grandfather behind him, he waved to me.
I ran back and asked, "Grandpa II, why don't you leave? You can come out of the mountain soon."
The second grandfather smiled and shook his head, tears involuntarily surged in his eyes, and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I'm old and useless. When the mountain wind blows, I want to shed tears."
As he said that, he took off the bag from his hand and handed it to me.
I realized something, grabbed Grandpa II's hand, and asked anxiously: "Grandpa II, what are you doing? You must come out with me today. I am like your grandson, I must..."
Before I could finish my words, the second grandfather waved his hand to interrupt me and said in a deep voice: "Feng'er, I know you are very filial, but the second grandfather is nearly 80 years old. How many days will he have to live? Your great grandfather told me back then that I was unable to leave the mountain in this life. This encounter, in you, I saw the dawn of our Di family's generals, which is already a great fortune for me. God treats me well, so that I can reunite with my relatives in my lifetime, so what else can I ask for?"
"No, Grandpa II, I must take you out. Xiao Dihong hasn't seen you yet, so we will give you a care for the elderly and see you off." I knelt down in front of Grandpa II, crying in tears.
The second grandfather caressed my head, slapped the bag on my shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I have sworn to your great-grandfather and the ancestors of the Di family that I will never leave the mountain in this life, let alone if I go out, it will only become a burden to you. Feng'er, you must know that the future is dangerous and unpredictable. I am hiding in this valley alone is a way to avoid good and bad luck. Don't force me anymore. In this bag, there are the twelve night beads and the more than ten ginseng kings I have carefully cultivated before, which is enough for you to spend. If you need more money at that time, come to your second grandfather. There are many strange flowers and plants in my yard, and each one can get a high price when you get it on the market."
I nodded repeatedly, but didn't know what to say. Thousands of words turned into constant tears.
The second grandfather firmly stroked my pulling hand, closed his eyes and said resolutely: "Feng'er, among the Five Classics, there is only the Shanze Sutra of Water, which is the only one that defeats our Di family's Fire Sutra of Fire, Blood Tribulation Sutra, so you have to pay special attention to the little girl named Mu. I have nothing to explain to you. Okay, go and remember what I said."
I leaned down and hugged my second grandfather's feet, feeling reluctant, but I heard him shouting, "Let's go, do your big business, don't think about me."
Raising my hazy tears, I saw my second grandfather's firm face, with clear edges and slashes, like a knife.
Then I stood up and reluctantly turned around and walked towards Mu Qianxun and Zheng Xiongqi not far away.
The second grandfather scolded loudly behind him, "Don't look back, a man is a real man with a deep hatred in the sea of blood. How can he have a long love between children and a hero who is short of breath?"
