11, [cut off water source]

Most people in the mountain village are not optimistic that Chen Aniu can continue to survive, and only one person is still looking for a way out. That is Chen Aniu's good friend since childhood, and the forest where he always "runs around the mountains".

"Run the mountain" is a rural slang, which means to go to the mountains to make a living.

When Lin Hai was farming, he would always go in with an axe, chop some firewood, and sell it in the town at the foot of the mountain, and buy oil, salt, needles and threads.

The mountain village is remote and closed, and foreign exchanges are mainly driven by the official road not far away. Pedestrians who occasionally come to stay or the two peddlers who walk around the village and town.

Because I have seen a little more people in the place I have walked, Lin Hai has always been a very "savvy" type of person in the eyes of the villagers.

He has always been unwilling to accept the condition of his friend Chen Aniu.

After knowing that the medicinal materials were difficult to catch, Lin Hai asked the doctor about the appearance and habits of various medicinal materials. After learning that there were in Yunzhong Mountain, even the fields were a bit deserted, so he went up the mountain to search all day long.

Everyone is still not optimistic about this behavior.

"The medicinal materials are not so easy to find, and can A Niu still last until he gets back the medicine? Alas..." Whenever this matter is mentioned, the villagers will always shake their heads and sigh.

Only the forests are endlessly searching through the mountains all day long.

That day, in the eyes of those who were working and chatting at the entrance of the village, the forest almost floated back.

"What's wrong, Haizi, have you made a fortune? Or have you picked up your wife?" The elder with an exaggerated personality next to him asked with a smile:

"There is medicine! Aniu is saved!"

Lin Hai's words caused everyone to be restless: "Have you found all of them?"

"I haven't had time to explain in detail, I'll send the medicine to Dr. Zhang first, and I'll talk to you later when I come back." After he said that, he led the yellow dog and walked down the mountain.

The place where Dr. Zhang practices medicine is quite far away. You need to walk to the official road and walk along the official road through the small town at the foot of the mountain to get to Dr. Zhang in Lijia Village.

The doctor finished preparing the medicinal materials and asked Lin Hai to boil a few pieces for Chen Aniu. After Aniu started taking the medicine, his condition improved greatly. It was only a matter of time before he could recover from it.

The excess medicinal materials were left to the doctor, which made Dr. Zhang, who had been short of medicine, very pleased.

The process of Lin Hai obtaining medicinal materials gradually began to spread.

This lucky boy got the medicine given to the immortal!

At the same time, the saying that there is a true immortal on Xianqi Cliff has gradually become a rumor and a story mentioned by the villagers.

As for the immortals themselves, the simple mountain people don’t care much about it. Everyone’s ideas are as simple as life in a mountain village: Just immortals are immortals, and having immortals is a good thing.

Lin Hai often came to Chen Aniu's house to take care of him. Seeing his friends' complexion getting better day by day, he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time he was even more grateful to the "Fang Xiancao".

As Chen Aniu's condition gradually improved, the villagers who were pleased with this often came to visit him.

On that day, while Lin Hai was taking care of A Niu's house, Lin Ergou, the little baby next door, got in:

"Brother A Niu, my mother asked me to give you two eggs."

Ergou's name is obviously from his own home. Although it is not as nice as Lin Hai's name, it is very practical because it can be easily heard from this - he also has an older brother Lin Gouzi.

A Niu felt embarrassed to refuse on the couch, and Lin Hai went up to take it directly: "Go back and thank my aunt for A Niu... Oh Ergouzi, why are you so anxious to leave? Are you in a hurry to go down the mountain to play?"

"No, Brother Haizi." Lin Ergou stopped, "I guess you don't know yet, something happened to Xiaoxi."

"Ah? What's wrong?"

“It’s broken.”

听到这话,林海赶紧将鸡蛋妥善放好,和阿牛说了一声,就拎着二狗子来到村外小溪边.

The word "白" in Linxi Village comes from this stream.

The person named Lin Hai in the village was "a knowledgeable person" in the eyes of the villagers. He once suspected that the real name of this village was "Linxi Village", but when his ancestors registered in the county, they might have written wrong words, but this was no longer verified, which made the man regret it.

走到溪边,林海见小溪已经干涸,露出一片片鹅卵石,在阳光照射下,原本常年浸水的卵石,也渐渐开始发白.

"how so?"

林海问旁边的二狗,然后得知,事情发生的很突然.

在溪边浣洗的人首先发现不对,溪水水位降低,然后变得腥臭,她们赶紧将衣服取出.

In a state of surprise, the stream stopped flowing in front of everyone's eyes.

For Linxi Village, this is bad news.

山村外这条溪流,是大家日常生活的水源,做饭喝水洗衣喂牲口都指着它,但最致命的是,山脚梯田也靠此水灌溉.

人畜没水用,还可以走上几里路去山下河里担,田地没有水禾苗枯死,收成无着才是大祸事.

对此现象十分担忧,村民们自发组织了几个人,顺着溪谷向上游溯去.

直到上面的源头,却发现泉水也已经干涸见底,连出水口都不见滴水,留下一个石洞,看起来深不可测,面对这一幕,村民们愁眉不展.

几个探索者带回来的消息,让村里一片愁云惨雾.

林海带着二狗来到此处时候,正好碰上大半个村子的人聚在这里商议,甚至大家已经开始郑重考虑,面临这种天灾,是否要搬家或逃荒.

心情沉重中,他放下二狗,回到沈阿牛的住处.

将此事和阿牛一说,阿牛也变的沉默,两人相对无言.

"I don't want to do it anymore, I'll go and boil the medicine first. Dr. Zhang said before, after drinking this last medicine, you can go to the ground after a day of rest. The water in the jar is still full, and there will always be a solution." Lin Hai sighed and said, no matter what, life still has to continue.

Shen Aniu behind suddenly stopped Lin Hai:

“海子,你这药是从仙人那里得来的,你说,仙人……会不会有办法?”

听到朋友的话,林海继续沉默,他生起炉灶,将药材小心从纸包里取出,放进罐子里,加水煎熬.

罐子里水花在翻滚,氤氲的雾气带着药香,弥漫在小院里.

The firelight shone on Lin Hai's face.

Gripping his teeth, he made up his mind.

For Shen Aniu's life and death, I could ask Fang Xianchang for the sake of Shen Aniu's life and death. Now it is the life and death of the whole village, so why not be able to do it!

端着药走到床榻前,林海对沈阿牛说道:“我去求一下那位仙长,如果求仙不成,大家只能搬走或者逃荒了.”

沈阿牛闻言,猛地从塌上支起身子,看着林海.过了几息,阿牛想到自己这幅样子也帮不上什么忙,又叹了口气重新躺下,对好友说道:

"be safe……"

…………

...

When Lin Hai climbed up the Xianqi Cliff from the side, he felt nervous. He didn't know if he would anger Fang Xianchang when he came here rashly.

Seeing Fang Xian get up and smile at him, as if waiting for him to pass, Lin Hai felt relieved and then was overjoyed.

So he ran over quickly, and even the yellow dog that he came up with him was not aware of the monkey demon he had seen before, riding down the mountain.

After listening to Lin Hai’s story, Fang Chang helped him up and stood up and said, “Follow me.” Then he glanced at the dried pottery, and took the woodcutter behind him and walked down the mountain.
