It just stopped after walking too far, Zhang Taiping turned his head and saw it squeaking on the tree, ran back a certain distance and turned his head to the right and squeaked a few times, he was puzzled, but still followed go up.After turning around for nearly half an hour, I came to a big tree. There were many squirrels on the tree. It was a lively scene, but after seeing the sables, they quickly disappeared into the bushes. It seems that these pine trees are all Very afraid of sables.

The sable yelled again at a tree hole above the big tree thinking about Zhang Taiping, and then creaked into it. This is its old nest.Not long after, he came out of the hole again, holding a finger-thick ginseng in his mouth and placing it in front of Zhang Taiping.After going back and forth like this more than a dozen times, a bunch of things were placed in front of Zhang Taiping, not only precious things like ginseng and ganoderma, but also wild fruits such as hawthorn and pine nuts.These are the grains it has stored, and are now dedicated to Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping knelt down to pack up the useful things, and then stroked the sable standing in front of him peeling the pine nuts, this time it didn't avoid it, but looked up at him and let him pet it.Seeing this scene, Zhang Taiping knew that the sable had recognized him, he was overjoyed, he took out a big apple and put it in front of it.The sable circled around the big red apple, then hugged the apple with both paws and began to eat hard, but the stomach was still too small, and it swelled up from eating, and the apple only went down a little.

When walking out of the mountain again, Sable got closer to Zhang Taiping and jumped on the tree above his head.At the mountain pass, seeing the returning grimace, Sable was immediately frightened and dared not move forward.Zhang Taiping summoned it to his hand for a while to appease it before persuading it to continue walking with Grimace in fear.

It was nearly three o'clock when we returned to the village, and the little girl Ye Ling was brewing medicine. When Zhang Taiping entered the house, she was hesitating whether to put the Ganoderma lucidum in it.

"You don't know medical principles, so don't put things in it. You should know that a slight change in the combination of traditional Chinese medicine may change from a good medicine for curing diseases and saving lives to a poison for harming people." Zhang Taiping said while watching her actions.

Hearing this, the little girl quickly put the ganoderma beside her. She only knew that the medicinal effect of ganoderma was miraculous, but she didn't know how to use it to cure diseases and save lives.

After the medicine was boiled, the little girl went into the back room, but Zhang Taiping didn't follow, and took out the little Tibetan Mastiff from the chair in the front room and put it next to Grimace, so that the mother and son could make out for a while.Although Sable was afraid of ghost faces, he was very curious about the little Tibetan mastiff. After the ghost face came out, he jumped off the beam and looked around the little Tibetan mastiff.Although the Tibetan mastiff is small, it can roar, and it looks even more cute when it is lying on the ground and ready to pounce.I fed it some food and put it in the space. Now that I am not at home, it would be inconvenient to bring it around, so it is better to put it in the space.

When Zhang Taiping was about to tease Sable and Xiaoxi, he suddenly heard Ye Ling's cry in the back room, and immediately went to the back room.

There was still a strong smell of herbs in the room, and now it also smelled a little bloody.I saw the little girl Ye Ling lying in front of the window crying into tears, while the woman lying on the bed covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed heart-rendingly, coughing up a large amount of blood every time.

Seeing Zhang Taiping coming in, the eyes of the woman with a gloomy and lifeless complexion suddenly burst into light, and the color on her face became more bewitchingly rosy.Seeing this scene, Zhang Taiping frowned, it was not a good sign that such a situation suddenly appeared when he was terminally ill, as a person had a flashback before death, Zhang Taiping now suspects that this woman is in this state.Apparently there was something to say, so he sat up and leaned against the back of the bed while holding onto the edge of the bed.

"Grandma, are you alright?" Ye Ling saw her grandma, who had been bedridden for a long time, sitting up. Naively, a medicinal herb helped her, and grandma's illness was cured. Perhaps this was the biggest thing she thought about day and night. dream.

The woman waved her hand and said, "Ling'er, remember every word grandma said now."

The little girl didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, but she was immersed in the self-joy that her grandma was recovering soon, and she nodded happily when she heard her grandma's words, "Yes".

The woman touched her head lovingly, turned to Zhang Taiping who was frowning and said: "I believe this gentleman can see my current situation, so I will make a long story short."

To be honest, Zhang Taiping really wanted to turn around and leave, not wanting to hear what she said next, what can a dying person say to a stranger?It's not just a lot of trouble.But reason can only make him stay, and the guilt he feels for the little girl Ye Ling doesn't allow him to just turn around and leave.

As if he could see what Zhang Taiping was thinking: "I know what I'm going to say next might be a little bit. Ahem. Mister embarrassment. But I will use things as compensation." Then he said to Ye Ling next to him, "Linger, will you Take out the sword from the cabinet and give it to this gentleman."

Although Ye Ling wondered why grandma would give this sword of love as life to a stranger, she obediently opened the big cabinet next to the bed, took out a sword wrapped in silk, and handed it to Zhang with both hands. Before the Taiping.

Zhang Taiping didn't take it with his hands, but looked at the woman leaning on the bed.Seeing that Zhang Taiping didn't accept the sword, the little girl looked back at her grandma.

The woman covered her chest with a slight smile and said to herself, "This is Tai'a sword. You can choose to keep it for yourself, or you can choose to sell it yourself. It has been used as the sword of several emperors. I believe it is worth it." Money."

Zhang Taiping looked at the silk-wrapped sword and still hadn't picked it up. He could guess what she wanted to do, but he still asked, "I don't know what I need to do?"

The woman looked at Ye Ling who was still holding the sword in front of Zhang Taiping, her eyes softened: "Ahem. I hope you can. Take Ling'er away and take good care of her."

There was a sound of soldiers falling to the ground, and Ye Ling shook his hands when he heard the words, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.She turned her head and threw herself on the edge of the bed crying, "Grandma, I don't want to leave you, why did you drive me away?"

"Stupid child." The woman touched her head and didn't answer, she just looked at Zhang Taiping and waited for his return.

"You trust me so much, you are not afraid that I will run away with the sword?" Zhang Taiping asked with a frown.

"Hehe. Cough. Although sick, but. Cough. The heart is not broken." The woman began to cough violently again, the corners of her mouth overflowed with blood, the rosiness on her face also disappeared, and the dead air quickly spread again .

"Grandma, what's the matter with you? What's the matter? I don't want to leave you." Ye Ling cried into a ball holding her grandma's arm.

Zhang Taiping looked at the little girl who was crying so hard, then at the woman whose vitality was disappearing and her eyes had dimmed again, and nodded: "Okay, I will take good care of her, just like my own daughter. "

A gratified smile finally appeared on the woman's face, and she turned her head to Ye Ling, who was already hoarse from crying, and said with difficulty: "After grandma leaves. After leaving. Ling'er will follow. This gentleman. Leave."

"No, I will not leave grandma. I will not leave grandma." The little girl cried with tears streaming down her face, "I have Ganoderma lucidum, I have Ganoderma lucidum, which can save grandma." Hold on tightly.

"Did you hear that?"

"Grandma, why don't you want Linger, why don't you want Linger?" The little girl's voice was almost silent from crying.

"Listen. Are you here?" The woman still struggled to utter these four words. Finally, the little girl nodded, and then buried her face in the quilt with a wow and began to cry bitterly. Her small shoulders twitched, obviously extremely sad.

Zhang Taiping stood by and saw such a scene, and he didn't know whether he was right or wrong in this matter. He looked at the little girl who was crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound, and then looked at the life that disappeared quickly but was full of life. The woman who was pleased with the smile and slowly closed her eyes, Zhang Taiping was shaken for the first time by his own actions, could it be that he was really wrong?

The woman's hand on Ye Ling's wrist slowly let go and fell to the side of the bed.Ye Ling raised his head and grabbed the hand hanging by the bed and yelled "Grandma, grandma" twice, but the woman on the bed was silent.The little girl suddenly fell backwards.Zhang Taiping stepped forward to support her.

Two days later in the morning, the little girl sat in the room holding the ashes in her arms.The woman had already explained to the villagers before that she was cremated after her death.

"Let's go." Zhang Taiping said softly.

The little girl picked up the bamboo basket with a dull expression, and put some things to take away in it.Just go outside.

Zhang Taiping held her back: "You don't need to carry such a big bamboo basket, just use this one." He said and handed over his travel bag.

"Oh, the little girl silently put the contents of the bamboo basket into the backpack, and walked out with the urn in her hand.

Zhang Taiping snatched the box from her hand, and put it into the bag behind the little girl with tears in her eyes.Then wiped her tears and pulled her up to walk outside.There are a lot of villagers around outside, it seems that the woman has a good prestige and popularity here.

"Your grandma really said that she wanted you to go with this gentleman?" The village head stood up and asked Ye Ling.

Seeing so many villagers, the little girl restrained her sadness a little, wiped her face with her right hand, looked up at Zhang Taiping and replied, "Yes."

"Alas." The villagers shook their heads and sighed. Everyone has noticed the suffering of the little girl in the past two years, but they have helped as much as they can, and there are too many who can't do anything.

The village head touched Ye Ling's head and said to Zhang Taiping: "Although I don't know why her grandma entrusted her to you, there must be a reason in it, so I won't stop you with anything, but I hope you can treat her well." Xiao Linger. Alas."

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "Everyone can rest assured, I will treat her like my own daughter."

After leaving the village, the little girl showed her emotions for the first time in these two days. She turned around and looked at the village looming in the early morning mountain mist, her eyes were full of reluctance and grief.
