Chapter 379: dig bamboo shoots
Chapter 379 Digging Bamboo Shoots
Speaking of the Meng family, Jiang Ling was also a little impatient. He nodded, "Sister, don't worry, the Meng family will not want to stay in Kang'an City this year."
That's great! On the day when Dad got married, the Meng family came to send congratulations from the front door, and the backyard burned paper to send mourning. This kind of white lotus act of pretending to be pitiful in front of his face and secretly rubbing his back and doing little tricks really made Jiang Liu feel annoyed.
The two-month-old Jiang Xiaoshu has grown white and fat. Jiang Liu and his brother watched for a while, then went out to Wutongguan. When they arrived at Wutongguan, they found that Wutongguan was surrounded by people, and the two found out that these people were all for Master Chengkong.
When his father got married, Master Chengkong made a special trip down the mountain to congratulate him. This was a very normal thing for Jiang Liu, but he was surprised by all the powerful people in Kang'an City. When Chengkong was not a monk, he was promoted by the Imperial Medical Bureau, and his medical skills were superb. After the emperor ascended to heaven, he also resigned from office, and everyone could not find his whereabouts. It was not expected that five years later, he would appear at Jiang Er's wedding banquet. After learning that Chengkong had settled in Wutongguan, everyone came early in the morning, wanting to ask him to see a doctor for the patients in Fuzhong.
Jiang Liu whispered to his brother, "Brother, should we take a gamble? I bet Chengkong is gone, how about you?"
Jiang Ling also wanted to bet that Chengkong had left, but his sister had already chosen this item, so he said, "I bet he's still here."
Jiang Liu smiled with crooked eyes, "Then let's go over the wall and see?"
The wall of Wutong Temple is not too high. The two little guys went to the secluded place to find a big tree. Jiang Ling climbed the wall and pulled his sister up. The two jumped into the temple and ran to the courtyard where Master and disciple lived. But they found that the house was empty.
The little Taoist priest in the view told Jiang Ling, "Yesterday, He Zhi went with his master and Master Chengkong."
"It's all gone..." Jiang Liu felt a little regretful. She has not played with Hezhi less in the past six months. This little Taoist priest is very interesting, and he didn't expect to leave without saying a word.
"Don't worry, little sister, he can't leave." Jiang Ling stared at Hezhi's door with determination. He had taught the little Taoist priest for half a year, how could he let him run away like this.
Can't go? Jiang Liu looked up at his brother suspiciously. Jiang Ling explained, "Since they followed Master Chengkong, they must have returned to Zangyun Temple, and they will be back in a few days."
If he doesn't come back, Jiang Ling will go and get him back.
When my brother mentioned the Tibetan Cloud Temple, Jiang Liu felt that the acupoints all over his body hurt, so he raised his hand and rubbed his arm. Thinking her sister was cold, Jiang Ling pulled her into the sun and asked, "My sister wins, what's our bet?"
Jiang Liu tilted his head and thought for a while, "Brother took me to dig bamboo shoots."
My sister wanted to dig bamboo shoots, but Jiang Ling would not object. "There are bamboos on the mountain behind Wutongguan, so let's dig it now."
Jiang Liu grabbed his brother's sleeve, "Brother, I want to dig in the mountains outside the city, where the bamboo shoots are big."
Long live summoned, the commander-in-chief of the guards of the Great Zhou returned to the capital, and now there are three guards stationed outside the city, Jiang Ling does not know if there are people from Jiang Jinzong here, and does not want to take his sister out of the city to take risks, so he coaxes, "There are also big ones here. Let's look carefully."
The two of them carried the basket and the pickaxe they had asked for from the little Taoist priest to the back mangosteen forest and began to look for bamboo shoots. The spring is fine, the green bamboo towering on the mountain, the wind blowing, the bamboo leaves rustling, accompanied by the cry of the milking warbler, which is the unique movement of the mid-spring season.
Jiang Liu is wearing a scallion green skirt, which almost blends in with the bamboo forest. She stepped on here and kicked with her little feet to find bamboo shoots. Jiang Ling followed behind her sister with a basket and pickaxe.
"Brother, here!" Jiang Liu kicked away the dead leaves on the ground, found a small purple bamboo shoot, and called his brother cheerfully.
Jiang Ling stepped forward immediately, and the two brothers and sisters squatted on the ground and used small pickaxes to dig bamboo shoots. Jiang Ling's strength was great, and the two picks turned out a bamboo shoot that was as long as his sister's little hand, so small. Jiang Ling handed the bamboo shoots to her sister, "This is not too small."
Um…
Jiang Liu was holding the mini bamboo shoots and wanted to tell her brother that when she was a child, she and her parents went to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots, and each 100 to 20 pounds was considered small. However, my brother saw that he rarely saw bamboo, so maybe it was really big in his opinion. Jiang Liu looked up and smiled, "Well, it's not too small."
"There is also a bamboo shoot tip here." Jiang Ling turned around and planed the bamboo shoot on the left. Jiang Liu also picked up a small wooden stick and started to pull it. For such a "big" bamboo shoot, it is enough to dig with a small wooden stick.
“啾啾”
Hearing the dark guard's unique bird call to remind him, Jiang Ling immediately put down his pickaxe and dragged his sister down, "Someone is coming, my sister is quiet, let's see who it is."
Jiang Liu nodded, took out the small dagger he used for self-defense and held it in his hand, looking around with wide eyes. After a while, she heard rustling footsteps coming from the mountain.
Jiang Ling whispered, "It should be four people, the footsteps are heavy and chaotic, they should not be able to martial arts, sister don't be afraid."
"Hurry up, anyone who is late will really have to run away!" One of the people who came down from the mountain urged desperately, "This is a Taoist temple, Chengkong is a monk, and the old monk who sees a bare head is Master Chengkong. If we don't invite the master back, none of us will get better!"
"Yes." The other three responded in unison, speeding up and running down the mountain, not finding the Jiang family siblings squatting in the bamboo forest.
These people beat them and walked not far away. Jiang Liu could see the appearance of the steward clearly. After they were far away, she said to her brother, "Brother, that person is the entourage of Mrs. Yijiang Hou Shizi."
Jiang Ling nodded, "Ignore them, let's continue digging."
Who would have thought that they didn't dig for a while, and two waves of people hurried down the mountain and entered Wutongguan to find Master Chengkong. Jiang Ling felt annoyed and discussed with her sister, "Let's go to Changtian Temple, there are also bamboos in Changtian Temple."
The two little guys dug bamboo for a while in the Changtian Temple in the waiting room, and Jiang Liu suddenly remembered a good place, so he handed the small basket to Shu Qiu and said cheerfully, "Brother, I'll take you to a fun place. ."
"Okay." Jiang Ling signaled that Jiang Cai and the others didn't have to follow him. He followed his sister around and came to a green hillside full of pines and cypresses in Changtianguan.
Jiang Liu took his brother to circle around the rockery and found no one around, so he pointed to a half-person-high landscape stone road behind the rockery, "Brother, let's move this rock away."
"I'll come." The stone was heavy, and Jiang Ling was afraid of hurting his sister, so he bent over and tried to move the stone away a little bit. He found that there was actually a cave inside, and he looked at his sister in surprise.
Jiang Liu was very proud, he pulled his brother into the rockery, "Daddy took me here once, you can see the people in the pavilion, and you can hear them talking, you see."
Jiang Ling and her sister went to the light-transmitting part of the rockery to look out, and they saw a small red-lacquered wooden pavilion. Thinking that his father brought his sister here to eavesdrop on other people's speech, Jiang Ling was a little angry with his father.
"Daddy and I were here last time, and we saw it unexpectedly..." Before Jiang Liu finished speaking, Peach Blossom's pupils widened.
It is incredible to be on the grass from Liliyuan. The person she and Daddy met here last time is here again!
