"It's such a hot day, let's take a rest first!" the owner of the shop called to her, "Let's talk and drink some cold water!"

"No, thank you!" She declined with a smile, "I'm going up the mountain first."

Hearing that she was going to visit her grandfather, the shop owner didn't force her to stay, settled the bill for what she wanted, and even gave her a discount.

She pulled a small suitcase and a plastic bag and walked up the mountain, but she heard several women in the shop behind her talking, "Hey, have you seen the handsome young man who came to the village today? As soon as he came, he looked for the old villager.

Party secretary, I don’t know what he’s here for, oh, he’s as handsome as a movie star!”

Her heart skipped a beat, who could it be? There was a hope in her heart, but she couldn't believe it and immediately denied it. There was no way it could be him!

So, without stopping at all, he continued up the mountain.

In previous years, she would come back twice a year, once for the Chinese New Year and once for the Qingming Festival. However, this time it was a long time ago. The last time she visited her grandpa was during the Qingming Festival last year.

She went to visit Ning Zhenqian during the Chinese New Year this year, and the Qingming Festival passed without her realizing it. She is not a good granddaughter, is she? She forgets her grandpa when she has a man...

Grandpa was buried halfway up the mountain. According to the Feng Shui master in the village at the time, it was an excellent location and would definitely bless future generations. So, Grandpa, you will definitely bless my daughter happiness in heaven, right?

Standing in front of her grandfather's grave, she smiled. In front of her grandfather, she never reported good news but not bad news.

She hadn't been here for more than a year, and the grave was already overgrown with weeds. She didn't bring any cutting tools, so she pulled them out with her hands. It was rare to get together with her grandfather, and she had plenty of time, so even if she pulled them out one by one, she wouldn't do it.

It will be troublesome.

There were many things to say to her grandfather. She whispered while pulling weeds, with her grandfather's favorite smile always on her face. She would always remember her grandfather's words before his death, and let him take her smile away...

She talked about her work, and the programs she hosted were liked by many listeners, and listeners often sent her gifts to Taiwan. She said that her book was ready to be published as a paper book and would be available soon.

I gave a copy to Grandpa to read. His little girl is already a "writer"...

Also, she has to tell her grandfather that she is married...

Speaking of this, Tao Zi's eyes became hot and she shed a few tears, but she was still smiling and said with a smile, "Grandpa, he is a soldier and the leader of a special forces regiment. He is just and brave. All the officers and soldiers in the regiment mention him.

Thumbs up! As for his family, they are a very good family in Beijing. My father-in-law and mother-in-law love me very much and treat me like their own daughter...Grandpa, you can rest assured, my daughter is living a good life now and is very happy..."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Ning Zhenqian's dark face flashed before her eyes, and waves of sadness surged in her chest.

She kept pulling grass for several hours, and she kept talking for several hours. Her mouth was dry, so she drank some water, then lit the incense candles bought in the store and poured some for grandpa.

He drank some wine and put some food on the table, and then sat down quietly on the stone slab in front of the tomb.

She just sat quietly, not talking anymore, enjoying the tacit understanding and tranquility between her and her grandfather, as if her grandfather was still alive. Whenever she was fighting with others outside, she would also sit opposite her grandfather obediently and talk to him like this.

Telling interesting things that happened outside, and then eating with grandpa in silence...

Before we knew it, the sun was setting in the west, and the first ray of dark gray twilight appeared on the horizon.

She picked up the box and reluctantly said, "Grandpa, I have to leave for a while and will come back to accompany you tomorrow."

The ancestral house where she lived with her grandfather is still there, and other families have built new houses. Her family is the only one that still retains the old house. One of the reasons is that she will not come back to live for a long time, so there is no need to start a new one.

Another very important reason for building a house is that it is a place filled with childhood memories of her and her grandfather. Every corner still has the mark of the past. Sometimes when I return home, I can feel that my grandfather is everywhere...

…

However, it has not been occupied for more than a year, and it must be full of dust. This time I will have to clean it again before I can move in.

She dragged the box down the mountain and suddenly felt stupid. Why didn't she store the box in a small store instead of dragging it all the way up the mountain?

Just as I was thinking about it, the grass on the roadside suddenly moved, and a figure came out of the bushes, and immediately fell to the ground, facing the bushes.

"Who?" Tao Zi asked in surprise.

The man turned around, his face turned pale, and he was shocked when he saw her, "Is that you?"

"Is it you?" Tao Zi was also shocked. This person is really everywhere! You can actually meet him in your hometown? - Luo Dongqin!

"I... was bitten by a snake..." Luo Dongqin lifted up his trousers. There was an obvious bite on his calf, and the surrounding area was already bruised. With lingering fear, he still stared at the bushes.

It's a poisonous snake...

Although it's only April, the local weather has been hot for a while, and snakes are already out and about.

Tao Zi took a breath and said sternly, "Don't move!"

Luo Dongqin is also a person with common sense, so he naturally knows not to move arbitrarily, but he is alone and finally meets someone, and it is a girl. What should he do?

Tao Zi was secretly grateful for Ning Zhenqian's preparations. He immediately opened the box, took out a piece of his own skirt from the box, tied it tightly above the wound, and then asked in a deep voice, "Do you have a knife?"

Luo Dongqin looked at her with some palpitations, and hesitantly handed him the saber he carried with him.

"Hurry up! Do you want to stay alive?" Tao Zi was anxious and scolded her, but she didn't notice the look in Luo Dongqin's eyes when he was being scolded.

Not caring about strict disinfection, she smeared the spatula with iodine complex and made a cross on his wound with the knife, not caring whether he grinned in pain or not.

She brought two bottles of mineral water with her, but only drank a quarter of one of them, so she dissolved potassium permanganate into it and started squeezing and flushing his wound. She continued to rinse the two bottles of water, but she was still

Worried, he took the bottle of water he was carrying and washed it with him.

Finally, after thinking about it, I put a plastic bag over his wound, then leaned over and gave him drugs through his mouth through the plastic bag.

The moment she covered her mouth, Luo Dongqin was shocked, "What are you doing?"

She glared at him fiercely, "I don't want to die of poisoning!"

He was startled, knowing that she had misunderstood. What shocked him was how she could give him drugs with her mouth! But she thought he was shocked because she was covered with a plastic bag.

Although he was injured and separated by a plastic bag, he seemed to still be able to feel the warmth of her lips, hot and moist, sucking on his calf. An inexplicable feeling quietly sprouted, and there seemed to be a flower in his heart.

At this moment, the flower blossom bloomed with a soft "pop" sound...

He stared at her little face that was red and wet with sweat. He had an inexplicable impulse to wipe her sweat with a handkerchief or tissue, but it was just an impulse. He was a rational person and always knew how to control his emotions.

However, the eyes looking at her had unprecedented ripples.

"Okay!" She finally breathed out, glared at him with confused eyes, and got angry, "I said you are stupid or something? I have been working here for half a day, and you haven't done anything?

"

His slightly scattered eyes converged in panic, and his face became slightly hot, "What...should I do?"

Tao Zi was speechless, how could there be such a stupid person?! "I said you should call someone to save you!"

"Uh..." Luo Dongqin smiled bitterly, "The phone is out of battery... How about I borrow your phone?"

She didn't bring her cell phone at all!

Tao Zi bit his lip and stared at him, "I really owe you in my previous life! Get up!"

After speaking, he bent down and took his arm, struggling to pull him up from the ground.

Luo Dongqin thought she would help him down the mountain, but after she helped him up, she yelled again, "Stand still!"

After yelling, he walked around in front of him, bowed his waist slightly, and said, "Come up!"

Is she going to carry him?! He was extremely surprised. With her small body, she could carry him who was 1.78 meters tall?

"Why are you still standing there?" She turned around and yelled impatiently. She didn't even notice that her expression and tone were the same as when the chief squatted down to ride a horse for her in front of the Qianqing Palace that day...

"This... forget it... I'll walk slowly by myself..." Luo Dongqin couldn't bear to put his weight on her thin shoulders.

"I asked you, are you a man?! Can you please be more relaxed? Is face more important or your life more important? Walking down the mountain? I don't want to walk with a dead man!" She burst out with a bunch of scoldings.

.

Luo Dongqin smiled helplessly, well, he pities her, but he is no longer a man...

Hesitantly, he finally got on her back. In his memory, this was the third woman to carry him on her back. The first one was, of course, his mother. However, he was different in his childhood than he is now.

It's more than a hundred pounds lighter than that?

By the way, this is the first time she carries a grown man on her back...

When the sudden weight pressed on her back, she staggered and almost fell down together. After a few staggering steps, she managed to steady herself. She could not help complaining through gritted teeth, "Why are you so heavy..."

"

Luo Dongqin smiled wryly and raised his eyebrows. His figure was actually already on the thin side, but he was stronger due to exercise...

Tao Zi felt like a huge mountain was pressing on her back. Every step she took was so difficult. The only thing she was lucky about was that she wasn't wearing high heels, otherwise she would have to go barefoot...

Luo Dongqin put his arms on her shoulders, and the beads on his wrists hung down.

A kind of Buddha beads with eighteen Phoenix-eye Bodhi beads, nine of them were left behind, and now there are still nine. The person who left the beads originally took the meaning of "eighteen" to seek for the realization of the hundred-eight Samadhi and eliminate the hundred-eight troubles. Now, now

, half of the beads were picked up by her. Is this just adding to his troubles, or does it have other deeper meanings?

No matter what, she saved his life today...

He laughed, he didn't believe in Buddhism. Everything was just accidental.

She was out of breath from exhaustion and also noticed that the Buddhist beads swinging on his wrist were exactly the same as her own, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "Hey, do you also have this kind of Bodhi seed?"

"Yeah." He responded in a low voice.

"Me too." She panted, feeling tired of saying another word.

"Really?" He knew it, but pretended not to care.

"Yeah." After saying that, she didn't say anything anymore. She didn't want to waste any more energy carrying this life-threatening person on her back.

Along the way, she didn't know how she got down the mountain. When she finally reached the foot of the mountain and met the first man, she couldn't hold on any longer. Her legs gave out and she fell to the ground at the same time as him. She felt as if her waist was about to collapse.
To be continued...
