Chapter 210 Old Dreams
Chapter [-] Old Dreams
Although the courtyards of people in the mountains are not magnificent, there are quite a few rooms in the houses. These are all built with the help of relatives and friends with wood and earthen embryos!

If the roof is not covered with black tiles, the construction cost is not too high. In fact, it is easy to build a house in the mountains, but it is difficult to find a good foundation!

There are quite a few rooms in the small courtyard of He Yuanying's house, but only three of the main rooms are tile-roofed, and the rest of the wing rooms are thatched huts!
The reason why mountain people build so many houses is mainly because mountain people like to go away during the slack season. These relatives and friends are far away, and they like to come together, so they need to stay at home!

Although the people in the mountains are not very particular about food, drink and accommodation, but when guests come, how can they arrange a room and a bed!

As for the food, there is a jug of old wine, a plate of bacon and a stewed chicken, and a few handfuls of vegetables from the vegetable garden, it is a good wine and dish on the table!

Next door to the main room is the parents' bedroom, which is a large room. There is a tall cabinet against the earth wall on the right, and a large shiny copper lock is hung on the cabinet door.

Against the back wall is a carved dragon and phoenix bed, which is antique, with a yellowish white raw cloth mosquito net hanging on it. The bed ladder is the most severely worn and looks very mottled.

Under the wooden window in front of the house, there is a desk. Although it is also mottled and cannot see any color, it is still very strong. He Yuanying remembers that when he was a child, he stepped on it and jumped without feeling shaken!

Matching the desk is a yellow-brown bamboo chair, which is quite old, and it shakes a little after sitting on it, and it creaks and squeaks!But how many years have passed, he can persist tenaciously, and there is no sign of collapsing!

Next to the earth wall on the left side of the room, there is a summer bed leaning against it, which will be moved to the ground to enjoy the coolness in hot summer.When she was very young, He Yuanying often fell asleep on the cool bed before being carried back to the bed in the house by her parents.

There is also a wooden firebox for heating in winter, and there are several oven cages inside the firebox.In addition to being used for heating in cold winter days, these can also be used to dry or warm clothes.

He Yuanying clearly remembered that whenever she wanted to stay in bed in winter, her mother would put on the warm clothes directly, so she couldn't help but get out of bed!
The fuel in the oven and firebox is white carbon. Although there are many people who burn charcoal in the mountains, the value of white carbon is very high, and the people in the mountains are reluctant to use it!They use "kiln dust," which is actually finely ground white carbon.

The baking cage is not only a tool for heating, but also an exquisite work of art, which is the capital for children to show off in winter!
I remember that one winter, when the weather was extremely cold, my father made a new oven for He Yuanying. Inside the oven were a few pieces of white charcoal picked out from "kiln dust", which was very warm!

In order to show off her new oven cage, He Yuanying carried the oven cage to a dozen houses in the cold winter, her little face flushed from the cold!Of course, she also got satisfaction from the praise of adults and the envious eyes of children!

The wardrobe in the house is not simple, in addition to the parents' clothes, there are almost all the wealth of He Yuanying's family!

Every time my father was going to the market, my mother would take advantage of the opportunity of He Yuanying and the others to play outside to open the closet door and take out the copper coins and silver coins inside and hand them to my father.

But after a lot of times, how could they be discovered by them? When they were about ten years old, their mother no longer avoided them with money.

She knew that her children would not spend the family money indiscriminately, besides, there was really no place for children to spend money in Dashuidong!
Both He Yuanying and her elder brother knew the secret place where her mother kept the banknotes. The current copper lock was nothing in their eyes. They could open it with just one look. Even if they wanted to destroy the copper lock, it would take a single thought!
But they followed the mother's normal way of opening the closet, first walked behind the big bed, and He Yu reached out and removed a triangular-shaped stone mounted on the wall, revealing a small hole the size of a fist.

He Yu gestured with her eyes, and He Yuanying reached out from the small hole and took out a dark yellow copper key with a patina. She walked to the side of the cabinet, and opened the copper lock with a "click" with the key, because her mood was agitated. The lock cylinder actually fell to the ground!
He Yuanying blushed, picked up the lock cylinder, and opened the cabinet door carefully.He Yuanying can remember that when she was a child, she opened the cabinet door too hard, and the clothes inside fell out, and she was scolded by her mother!
After opening the cabinet door, there is a row of three drawers in the middle, which divides the wardrobe into upper and lower parts. The lower part is slightly higher, where long gowns can be hung, and neatly packed clothes are placed on it.

He Yuanying skillfully took out the entire right drawer and put it aside, then carefully removed a baffle.

A few small cloth bags inside were exposed, but most of them were empty, only a few copper coins were in one silk bag, and the other silver notes and broken silver were all gone.

He Yuanying was not discouraged, she took out the left drawer again, and the shutter fell off automatically, revealing a piece of yellowed talisman paper inside.

As if he had found a treasure, He Yuanying reached out and took the talisman paper into his hand, and slowly poured mana into it. After the talisman paper emitted a soft white light, and a soundproof shield covered the two of them, the familiar and kind mother's voice sounded. the sound of:
"Yu'er, Yuanying, your father, brother and sister-in-law and I were originally from the spirit world. For unknown reasons, we were exiled to the Kamikaze Continent, where we lived as mortals for decades. My memory and my cultivation in the stage of transforming into gods are rejected by this world, and we will return to the spirit world together soon. You two brothers and sisters cannot resist the force of space tearing because of insufficient cultivation, so we can only leave you in the gods. Feng Dalu, you must work hard to cultivate, strive to cultivate to the realm of transforming gods as soon as possible, and ascend to the spirit world to reunite with your family!"

They could hear from the final sound that the mother seemed to be hesitant to speak, her voice stopped abruptly, and she hastily ended the message!

The mother also seemed to have some difficulties. The so-called "unknown reason" might be because she didn't want He Yuanying and the others to know the truth, or maybe she was afraid of revealing the secret!
After listening to the content of the sound transmission talisman, the two of them also had a lot of questions in their hearts, but no one can answer them now!
He Yuanying wanted to keep the sound transmission talisman away, but who knew that when she touched the talisman paper with her hand, it turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared!
He Yuanying and his elder brother He Yu looked at the dissipating green smoke, and their eyes became moist. Although they knew the news of their family members, they still had no idea whether they could meet again. Even if they could meet, they didn't know how many years later something happened!
