Chen Jing said, and looked down at the photo that Yu Meixia had just put next to her. It was just a very ordinary and old document photo. Ye Zhenzhen's father's appearance was quite clear, at least clearer than Chen Jing's memory.

Ye Zhenzhen's father had passed away for many years. Chen Jing was only about seven years old that year, and Ye Zhenzhen's father often went out to work, so I didn't have much deep impression in Chen Jing's memory.

As for the girl Ye Zhenzhen, she could say that she did not look like her father when she was alive. After all, she was only one or two years old at that time.

However, from Chen Jing's limited memory, I still vaguely remember that Ye Zhenzhen's father is also a person with a very good personality. It seems that every time he sees him, he always has a warm smile on his face, and he is harmonious with everyone.

"Oh, he has been away for more than ten years in a flash, and Zhen Zhen is so big." Yu Meixia wiped the tears on her face and said, "Now my daughter is graceful and beautiful. I don't know if you can see it in the sky."

Chen Jing and Kong Xue were both silent when they heard these words, or they didn't know what to answer.

In the end, Kong Xue gently held Yu Meixia's hand and said softly: "Aunt Xia, Uncle Ye will definitely see it, and he will always bless you and Zhenzhen."

Yu Meixia nodded, sighed and said, "Well, I hope he can live a good life in the sky."

People in the world hope that after death, people will really have souls, and can go to places like the underworld or the sky. Putting aside the sayings of ghosts and gods, they will give living people a kind of sustenance and hope.

Hope is always the most important thing.

The couple talked with Yu Meixia for a while, and then put all the gifts they bought for her and Ye Zhenzhen, and then went back to the Chen family courtyard for lunch.

Yu Meixia also sent Chen Jing and Kong Xue to the door, then returned to the main hall, picked up the photo of her deceased husband again, and looked at it for a while before saying, "You, you are such a shameless person. When you were young, you lost your parents. When you were old, you still died young. You can't see your daughter growing up day by day..."

After a moment, a depressing cry started.

Some pain cannot be shared or relieved by others, and only the parties involved shall bear it alone.

…………

After lunch, Chen Jing and Kong Xue changed into casual clothes, equipped some things they needed to climb, and then headed straight to Daqing Mountain next to Changqing Village.

This Daqing Mountain is not very high, but the forests and trees grow extremely lushly. From a distance, they look lush and green, so they get the name of Daqing Mountain. In fact, it was originally called Qingshan. Later, people from Changchun Village knew that there were mountains in other places called Qingshan, so they added a big word in front.

Chen Jing has many memories of Daqingshan. When he was a child, he went up the mountain to escape the summer heat, picked wild vegetables and wild fruits, and even caught pheasants, all of which were his childhood memories.

The couple walked along the mountain road that people walked out to Daqing Mountain.

Chen Jing looked at the weeds on the road and broke a branch in his hand. The weeds on the road bent and said, "It seems that there are not many people going up the mountain in the past two years. I remember that many people would go to the mountain to find mountain goods in the past."

"The conditions have improved." Kong Xue held the hand of her eldest boy, followed him step by step, responding.

Chen Jing smiled and said, "You can also say that, young people nowadays go out to work, and most of the elderly in the village are inconvenient and cannot climb the mountain."

"In the past, this mountain also had several surrounding mountains, but the lifeblood of our entire village depends on them for half of our food and drink." Chen Jing looked up and said with a hint of emotion on his handsome face.

This sentence is really correct to rely on the mountains and rivers to eat water.

"I remember there were mountain god temples in the mountains before. Every year the village organized worship, hoping to get the protection of mountain gods and mountain masters, and every time I entered the mountains, I could be safe and sound."

"What about now?"

Chen Jing said: "Now, the mountain temple should be abandoned."

"Well~ basically no one has entered the mountain anymore, so there is no need to pray for the mountain god's blessing."

It’s funny that Hua and Xia people’s attitude towards gods is really unique in the world. They have requirements for gods. If you can work, I will worship you. If it doesn’t work, then I’m sorry, Hua and Xia will not raise idle gods.

For example, in ancient times, when people encountered drought weather, if they failed to ask the Dragon King for rain, they would not think it was their own reasons, they would only think that the Dragon King was not powerful, and then dragged the statue outside the temple to whip it.

This is the unique and interesting Hua, the ancestors of Xia.

The couple talked and laughed, and in more than half an hour, they arrived at the cave that Chen Jing mentioned. They did not encounter any particularly difficult roads along the way.

"It's here." Chen Jing looked at the weeds and did not immediately take Kong Xue in. Instead, he found a bundle of dry firewood and grass to make a simple torch, and then lit it with a lighter.

Soon, thick smoke emerged, and Chen Jing found a place with the opposite direction of the wind and let the smoke blow into the cave.

"Xiao Chen~ What are you doing?" Kong Xue blinked her beautiful big eyes and asked curiously.

Chen Jingying said: "No one has been in this cave for a long time. I will smoke it with thick smoke first. If there are any snakes, insects, bats, etc., they can be smoked out."

Hearing this, Kong Xue gently stuck out her tongue and hurriedly approached Chen Jing a little.

As the thick smoke was blown into the cave, just a few seconds later, I heard movements coming from inside.

Chen Jing was stunned when he heard the noise, because the noise was quite loud. Could it be some large wild animal?

Not that, Daqingshan is right next to Changqing Village, and is a residential area. There are generally no large wild animals in this kind of place, and there are a few pheasants that are amazing.

"Ahem cough cough..."

Just when Chen Jing was confused, a cough came from the cave.

Hearing the sound, Chen Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that someone was inside, so he hurriedly removed the simple torch in his hand.

"Someone?" Kong Xue said.

Chen Jing nodded, and was thinking about who he would be, when Chen Dashan, who was covering his mouth and nose with one hand and holding a handful of mugwort with the other, ran out in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

Well, after a long time, Chen Dashan went up the mountain to pick mugwort.

"Brother Dashan, why haven't you gone down the mountain yet? Is it okay?" Chen Jing hurriedly went up to him and asked.

Chen Dashan was so fumigated that he coughed. He was still confused at this moment. He suddenly saw Chen Jing and Kong Xue again, and his head was even more turned. He stood there for a long time before stuttering: "I, I'll rest here, and then I saw a big pit inside, and I'm going to fill it up so that no one would fall into it."

A big pit?
