Chapter 21: The past of the Black Miao Village is like smoke
Da Ya was not calm at this time. She had been sad about Shi Jie's story. Da Ya was also thinking that when she meets a good man, she must cherish it and not miss it. No matter what, as long as Chen Yufeng does not give up on herself, she will
Never leave him, and must muster up the courage to confess to him. Everyone is thinking about their own thoughts and waiting to go to Heimiao Village the next day to fulfill their wishes.
The next day, Chen Yufeng, Daya, and Shi Jie got up very early. After breakfast, the three of them said goodbye to the head of the village. The head of the village gave the three of them some food to take with them on the road, and wished them all the best to fulfill their wishes.
Because of Shi Jie's presence, there is no need to find a guide to lead the way. Even if you find a guide, it will be in vain because no one knows how to get to Hei Miao Village.
Chen Yufeng and Daya followed Shi Jie all the way deeper into the mountain. Although Shi Jie was almost sixty years old, he was still in good health and walked not slowly at all. The three of them walked until noon and Shi Jie told them
Person: "We have come to the end here. We can't go any further. We must change the direction or we will go further and further away. Come with me. Although I haven't been here for decades, this place still hasn't changed much." Shi
After Jie finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in the other direction. Chen Yufeng and Daya hurriedly followed. Shi Jie slowed down after walking for a while. As he walked, Shi Jie said to Chen Yufeng and Daya: "There is some danger here. You two
Be careful, there are some unknown little bugs on the ground, don't get bitten or step on the snake." After hearing this, Chen Yufeng took out the bottle of potion and told Shi Jie: "Uncle, rub some of this on it to prevent mosquitoes.
"Shi Jie smelled the medicine bottle and nodded, poured some out and rubbed it on his body and feet, and handed it to Chen Yufeng. Chen Yufeng and Da Ya rubbed some on their bodies respectively. The three of them simply sat down while applying the medicine.
I took a rest and ate some food. After I finished eating, I got up and continued on my way.
Soon it was night, and it got dark. Chen Yufeng and the other three walked to an open hillside and found a flatter place. Chen Yufeng and Daya set up the tent, so they had no choice but to let Shi Jie and Daya let the tent go.
The two of them sat and rested, then ran to pick up some dry firewood and dry leaves. Shi Jie waited for Chen Yufeng to come back and said, "Young man, you and I will take turns on duty. This girl will not be needed. The fire must be kept and cannot be extinguished."
"Chen Yufeng nodded in agreement and lit the dry branches. The two took turns to keep watch until dawn and the three of them continued on their way. The three of them stayed in the wild for two days in a row. On the third night, Shi Jie told Chen Yufeng and Da Ya: "It should be tomorrow.
We can reach Hei Miao Village. Tonight will be the last night in the wild."
Chen Yufeng was on duty in the first half of the night. Chen Yufeng was sitting in front of the fire thinking that he would go to the Black Miao Village tomorrow. He didn't know if he would be able to successfully find the Purple Fireweed during this trip to the Black Miao Village. It was already mid-May.
June will be here in half a month. I don’t know how Da Pang and Wu Chunping’s purchase of medicinal materials are going. There is no signal in the mountains and mobile phones can’t make calls. What if I can’t find Purple Fireweed in Hei Miao Village tomorrow?
What should I do? Da Ya must be so sad. Chen Yufeng was staring at the fire and thinking about something when he felt that there was an extra person beside him. Chen Yufeng turned around and saw that Da Ya was sitting next to him. Chen Yufeng smiled and asked Da Ya: "Why don't you sleep?"
Why are you running out? Can't you sleep?" Da Ya then continued: "I can't sleep. I will go to Hei Miao Village tomorrow. What if I can't find purple fireweed in Hei Miao Village? I was a little scared at first.
I wanted to find the Black Miao Village wholeheartedly, but now I am almost there but I am scared." After finishing speaking, Da Ya looked at Chen Yufeng, who said: "Don't be afraid, even if you are afraid, you still have to face it, right? No matter what, we tried our best.
We have worked hard for so long and have no regrets, no matter what the result is." Da Ya looked at Chen Yufeng and nodded, then lowered his head and hugged his knees. Chen Yufeng continued: "Da Ya, you know what? I finished listening to Shi Jie's story.
I thought a lot about Shi Jie's story. Although he cannot be entirely blamed for his story, it was also because of his cowardice that he did not dare to face the facts that led to this ending. He himself must bear the main responsibility for his tragic life. If he had originally
If he struggled hard and refused to give in, it might not end like this. It is precisely because of his compromise and cowardice that he harmed himself and the two women who loved him. It cannot but be said to be a tragedy. Life is short, love should be said
Come out, I understand this truth from his story. Da Ya, I want to tell you that I like you, but I can’t keep it in my heart anymore. I want to tell you my love for you, Da Ya, are you willing to accept me?
?"….
Daya felt a little dizzy when she heard what Chen Yufeng said. Daya liked Chen Yufeng. The companionship, care and stories she experienced along the way gave Daya a deep understanding of life and love. It touched her heart a lot.
Daya raised her head and looked at Chen Yufeng without saying anything. Instead, she closed her eyes. Neither of them spoke at this time. Their lips were tightly pressed together, and the tips of their tongues were intertwined. Not many words were used, only the blending of hearts.
They stopped until they were out of breath. Da Ya said with a blushing face: "I like you too. Whether you have another woman or not, I don't care. As long as you have me in your heart and treat me well, I will be satisfied."
After saying this, the big girl suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Chen Yufeng and said: "You have to promise to love me well and not to abandon me! You can't let me be like Minxian! You have to promise me!" Chen Yufeng nodded vigorously and said:
"Da Ya, I will not abandon you! I promise you that I will never abandon you no matter what. I will spend my whole life loving you and protecting you!" Da Ya leaned on Chen Yufeng's shoulder and said nothing.
, the sweetness in Da Ya’s heart at this moment seemed to flow out of honey. Chen Yufeng then said: "Da Ya, there is something I think I must tell you. Before I came here, I actually had a girlfriend, and we were two.
A girl, Daya, do you mind? They are both girls who have had a lot of experiences with me, and I love them both. If you can’t accept it, Daya, you can choose to give up, but I will not give up on you.
I also like you, no less than the two of them." Da Ya said at this time: "Xiao Feng, this is the first time I call you like this. In fact, I have called you many times in my heart. You are the best for me and my family.
I remember everything you do. You are a good person, a person worthy of my love and everything I give. I don’t care how many girlfriends you have, and I believe you will be as good to them as you are to me. They must be the same.
As much as I love you, I will never give up on you no matter what."
At this time, the two of them didn't say anything or do anything. They just sat quietly in front of the fire and watched the jumping flames, just like their hearts, beating incessantly in connection with each other.
On the morning of the third day, Shi Jie led Chen Yufeng and Daya to walk. When they reached a forest, Shi Jie looked at the surroundings and suddenly walked forward quickly. Chen Yufeng and Daya followed closely, fearing that he might have something.
Shi Jie walked for about ten minutes and came to the outside of a cave. Shi Jie said: "This is the cave I stayed in before, and it is also the place where I met Minxian. Let's go in and have a look. I haven't been here for decades. No.
Do you know if it has changed?" Shi Jie took the lead and walked in. After walking inside, Shi Jie found that the inside was still the same as when he was there before. There were straw mats there, and the earthen jars and other things he used were still there.
Now, Shi Jie slowly walked over and sat down on the straw mat. At this moment, Shi Jie seemed to have returned to the time of the past, back to the years when he was eighteen years old. Although it was very difficult, he was very happy and lived a carefree life.
After sitting for a while, Shi Jie stood up, walked around the cave and looked around, then turned and walked out of the cave. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he looked back again, but never said another word. Chen Yufeng and Da Ya
Shi Jie had been following Shi Jie. As he was walking, Shi Jie suddenly turned around and said to Chen Yufeng: "We'll be there in a moment. I won't come back with you this time. No matter what, Hei Miao Village will be my last home. No matter what,
No matter what happens, I will never leave again." After saying this, Shi Jie strode forward again.
Chen Yufeng and Daya understood at this time that Shi Jie was a little moved by the scene, and it was rare that he made the most decisive decision in his life. The two of them walked forward with Shi Jie, and after walking for about ten minutes, Shi Jie suddenly stopped again.
Coming down, Shi Jie didn't speak after he stopped, but stood motionless. Chen Yufeng and Da Ya saw Shi Jie not moving and didn't know what was going on. Chen Yufeng walked up and asked: "Uncle Shi, what are you doing?
What's the matter?" Shi Jie didn't say anything. Chen Yufeng asked Shi Jie twice more before he raised his head and said as if talking to himself: "Can I see Minxian again? Am I still qualified?" Chen Yufeng
Knowing that Shi Jie was a little timid at the moment, and the more he came to see him, he became more timid, so Chen Yufeng comforted Shi Jie and said: "Uncle Shi, you have already come here. You should go and take a look no matter what. I believe that as long as you go
You will definitely be relieved. Don't hesitate any more. You have already hesitated all your life, so why should you hesitate again? Come on, these are things you must face. Don't leave any regrets in your life." Shi Jie finished listening.
After being silent for a while, he nodded and said: "Young man, I have lived for most of my life, and you have not seen it clearly. I have lived in vain for so many years. If I had half the consciousness you have, I would not be where I am today. Okay.
Now, I’ve figured it out, let’s walk to Hei Miao Village and I can feel Minxian waiting for me.”….
After saying that, Shi Jie no longer hesitated and walked towards the forest. After walking through a small forest, the front suddenly became very spacious. There was a small valley. There were probably dozens of households in the valley, and some even braved the curling rain.
The three of them walked all the way in due to the smoke from the chimney. Two young men, about thirty years old, came out of the village and blocked the way of several people. The two people asked: "Where are you from? How did you end up here? Are you here?"
What's going on?" There was unfriendliness in the eyes of the two people. Shi Jie then replied: "Little boy, I'm here to find an old friend. I don't mean any harm. Don't be nervous. I've lived here before, so that's why.
Know the way here." After hearing this, the two people looked at Chen Yufeng and one of the taller ones asked: "Who are you looking for? This place is not open to outsiders. Please make it clear and we will take you to see them.
Village chief." Shi Jie told the two of them: "My name is Shi Jie, who is your current village chief? Is Village Chief Nan still there? Please take me to see him." When the two heard that Shi Jie knew Village Chief Nan, their expressions changed.
The tall man said: "The village chief's surname is Nan now, but it is not the same as before. The old village chief is no longer here. The current village chief is his son. Do you know him?" Shi Jie nodded and said:
"We know each other, just take me there. It will be clear when we get there." The two nodded and said, "Follow us."
Chen Yufeng and the other three followed the two young men in the village and walked towards the bamboo house in the middle of the village. When they reached the bamboo house, the tall man among them said, "Wait a minute, I'll talk to the village chief." After a while, the young man said
He came out and told the three people: "The village chief asked you to come in, you go." After saying that, he pointed to the bamboo building and stood still. Shi Jie took the lead and walked into the bamboo building. Chen Yufeng and Daya quickly followed Shi Jie. The three came.
When I went to the Zhulou room, I saw a man about the same age as Shi Jie sitting inside. When the three people came in, the man stood up. At this time, Shi Jie said, "Brother, I'm back, are you okay?"
?" The man looked at Shi Jie and was silent for a while and said: "Are you Shi Jie?" Shi Jie nodded and said nothing. The man continued: "It's been almost forty years, why did you come back after all these years?
Where have you gone?" Shi Jie then said: "Brother, can I see Minxian first? I've been sorry for Minxian for so many years, and I just want to beg for Minxian's forgiveness when I come back, is that okay?" The man looked at Shi Jie.
Jie said: "Don't be in a hurry to see Xian'er. First, tell me what have you been doing these past years? When you left and never came back, Axi came back and only said you were going to meet a friend. What did you do? You don't know."
Do you think you need to explain it clearly first? Okay, let’s sit down and tell me your story.”
Shi Jie nodded and sat down and told the man truthfully about his departure and his life over the years. The man did not speak after listening. After a while, the man stood up and said, "Shi Jie, follow me."
Come, I'll take you to see Minxian. Whether she can forgive you or not depends on you. Let's go." After that, the man took the lead and walked out of the bamboo building. The four of them walked for about five minutes until they reached a bamboo building.
The man stopped and told Shi Jie: "Go in, Minxian is inside. Go and talk to her." Shi Jie walked directly into the bamboo building without saying anything. Chen Yufeng and Daya did not follow him this time, neither of them wanted to
Disturbing the couple who had not seen each other for many years. Chen Yufeng saw Shi Jie entering and said to the man: "Hello, are you the head of Nan Village?" The man looked at Chen Yufeng and said: "Yes, I am, and you are?"
Chen Yufeng quickly replied: "My name is Chen Yufeng and this is Da Ya. We are together. I came here to find purple fire grass and go back to save the lives of the person I love most and her family. We met Shi Jie on the way. At that time
He was crazy and I cured him and heard his story, so we came here together. Mayor Nan, do you know about purple fire grass?" Village Chief Nan thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "What you are talking about
I've never heard of grass. I'll talk about it later when he comes out. I can help you ask in the village to see if any older people know about this kind of grass." Chen Yufeng nodded and said nothing...
At this moment, I suddenly heard a voice coming from the bamboo building: "Get out of here, I don't know you! Don't bother my mother! Get out of here!" Chen Yufeng, Daya and Village Chief Nan were all very worried at this time.
Walking into the bamboo building, Chen Yufeng and Chen Yufeng saw a young man of about thirty years old standing there. Shi Jie was kneeling on the ground. Opposite of Shi Jie was a portrait and a tablet.
, it says: The place of deceased mother Nan Minxian. There are two candles lit on both sides of the tablet and there is an incense burner in front of it. Neither Chen Yufeng nor Daya expected this scene. They were both shocked at this time. Minxian actually
Now that he is gone, who is this young man? Although the two of them were full of questions at this time, neither of them spoke and looked at Shi Jie and the young man quietly. At this time, Village Chief Nan said: "Nian Jie
, don’t be so excited. If you have anything, you can sit down and talk slowly. If your mother was still alive, she wouldn’t do this. No matter what, he will always be your father. And what did your mother say to you before she died?
?You can't go against your mother's last wish? Well, although you have never met, you are still father and son. Listen to my uncle and your father has told me the truth. It is not easy for him. Don't be angry. Let you
Dad first pays homage to your mother and lets him have a conversation with your mother. If there is anything else, we can talk about it later. Let’s go out first.”
After saying these words, Village Chief Nan came over and patted Nian Jie on the shoulder. Nian Jie also lowered his head and walked out of the bamboo building slowly without speaking. Village Chief Nan saw Nian Jie leaving and said to Shi Jie: "You are here first."
Talk to Xian'er and tell her all about your life over the years. She hasn't seen you until her death and can't let go of you. You should let her know first. We'll wait for you outside. You two have a good chat.
Chat. Although Xian'er is gone, I believe her spirit in heaven must also want to know these things. She is watching you. Okay, I won't say more, let's go out." Shi Jie nodded at this time and said to Nan Cun
Chang said: "Brother, thank you, I will have a good talk with Minxian and pray for her forgiveness. I am sorry for her. You go out, I will have a good chat with Minxian here, and I will naturally go out to find her when the time comes.
It's yours, you don't have to worry about me, I won't do anything stupid." After saying this, Shi Jie turned around and stood up, walked to Minxian's tablet, picked up the tablet, looked at it, wiped the tablet with his hands, and then put down the tablet to light it.
After buying three sticks of incense, Village Chief Nan led Chen Yufeng and Daya out of the bamboo building.
Chen Yufeng and Daya had a lot to ask at this time, but they couldn't ask. After all, this was a family matter, and they didn't know the situation. They had to wait for them to say it themselves. At this time, they should ask Village Chief Nan to see if they could inquire.
The whereabouts of Purple Fire Grass were found. The three people left the bamboo building and saw that the young man was still standing outside the bamboo building. At this time, Village Chief Nan walked over and said: "Nianjie, go home with your uncle. If you have anything to do, we will talk later."
"Let's go." The young man named Nianjie lowered his head and said nothing, and followed the village chief Nan towards his home. Chen Yufeng and Daya also hurriedly followed them to Nan Village.
Long home.
What is the story here? Who is Nian Jie and where is the Purple Fire Grass? Can Chen Yufeng and Daya find the Purple Fire Grass? What will happen to Shi Jie?...
