Chapter 19 Departure
Early the next morning, Shi Wu and Ah Da got up and packed up. Ah Da asked Shi Wu to go to his parents' room to pack everything he wanted to take with him, while he went under the counter to collect the house deed and the property deed of Lintao Pavilion.
After finding the key, he planned to go find Xuan Xiang later.
Shi Wu had not been to the house of Shi Lintao and his wife much since he lived in his own house. He first went to look in his parents' cabinet, which was just some quilts and clothes. He then went to look in his mother's dressing cabinet.
He took a look and found that there were several beautiful handkerchiefs inside. He took a golden lotus handkerchief with great care and put the remaining ones back into the dressing cabinet.
Shi Wu thought to himself: "Just take one and put it on your body to think about it. Mother will still use it when she comes back."
After that, he opened the cabinet next to his father's bed. His father's cabinet was empty, except for a blue book. Shi Wu thought excitedly: "It can't be a martial arts secret book!"
When he took it out and opened it, he sighed in disappointment. It turned out that this was just his father's daily cooking experience.
Shi Wu flipped through it roughly, looked at the contents recorded in the book and said with a smile: "It turns out that the first dish dad cooked was sweet and sour fish with sweet-scented osmanthus. Haha, no one appreciated it at that time. Grandpa Xiang was the first one to come.
Food." He flipped back again and saw that the last record was on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which read: "The highlight of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is not only the stir-fried osmanthus sauce, but also the baking.
When baking, brush a layer of lard on each piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so that the baked sweet-scented osmanthus cake will be more crispy and delicious. It seems that the first time you make it, it’s okay. Friends of Uncle A and Xiao Wu
They all love to eat.”
Shi Wu suddenly wanted Shi Lintao to teach him how to cook, but now, he didn't even know where Shi Lintao was. Shi Wu swallowed harder and there were tears in his eyes.
Shi Wu wiped his tears with his sleeves and put the book away. When he was about to walk out of the room, he saw a dark green umbrella leaning quietly behind the door. His mother was weaving this umbrella in his mind.
Memories also flowed out together.
At that time, the umbrella was just in the shape of an umbrella, and Shi Wu was only five years old. He looked at Xiuling curiously and asked, "Mother, what is this?"
Xiuling said: "This is an umbrella. There is a custom in my mother's hometown that after the mother gives birth to her children, she must make an umbrella for them with her own hands. I hope that I can protect my children no matter whether it is sunny or rainy in the future."
Shi Wu nodded his little head and said, "Is this umbrella for me?"
Xiuling smiled and said, "Of course it's for this naughty little girl like you."
Shi Wu chuckled and said, "Does this umbrella have a name?"
Xiuling thought about it seriously and said, "Yes, this umbrella is called Yi Zhi Qing He."
"Wow! It sounds really nice. As expected, it was my mother who got the name." Shi Wu clapped his hands and praised.
Xiuling joked: "Go, go, you are the only one who can speak."
Shi Wu picked up the "paper of clear lotus" from behind the door and slowly opened it, only to see the dark green umbrella ribs as thick and clear as jade. When he looked closely, there were fine veins on them. Shi Wu couldn't help but secretly said: "
Isn't this the petiole of a lotus?" Shi Wu thought and squeezed it gently with his hand. It was completely different from the soft touch he imagined. He even felt that he was pinching a hard stone pillar. When the umbrella was fully opened,
, Shi Wu was fascinated by the sight at once. On the umbrella surface was a vivid painting of a pond of clear lotuses under the hazy mist and rain. There were also two figures vaguely beside the lotus pond. Their faces were not detailed, but they could be seen from the white clothes and the
The people holding hands saw that they were Xiuling and Shi Lintao without a doubt. Next to them, they saw a line of beautiful small words: "A clear lotus is born in the mist and rain."
Shi Wu came to his senses and put away "A Paper of Clear Lotus", thinking that the painting on the umbrella might be the place where his father and mother met, and he cherished the umbrella even more. He suddenly discovered the meaning of this umbrella.
There was an ancient coin hanging with a transparent silk thread under the umbrella handle. He put the ancient coin in his palm, but found that the words engraved on it were not the words his mother had taught him. He lifted the silk thread again and thought
The thread was so thin that it broke accidentally. He tried to pull it with both hands, but found that the thread was so strong that it hurt his hands. He couldn't help but admired it and said, "The umbrella made by my mother is really special."
As soon as he finished speaking, he thought that if his mother were here, she would laugh at him for being so glib. Shi Wugang wanted to laugh, but couldn't. After taking the things away, he gently closed his parents' door.
The door to the house was locked on the door handle.
Shi Wu returned to his room, dug out all the toys closest to him, and copied out a few of his father's recipes he just got. After doing this, he said to Ah Da who was waiting for him: "Ah Da
Grandpa, I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon."
Ah Da Dao: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Shi Wudao: "No, I'll be right back."
Ada took the key from Shi Wu and replied: "Okay."
Shi Wu carried a bag of things and went to Xuan Haoran's house first. His mother was the only one in his house. Xuan Haoran followed his father into the forest to learn hunting a few days ago. Although Shi Wu was regretful, he still said to Xuan Haoran's mother:
"Aunt, Haoran likes this gyro very much. I will be leaving in a minute. Please help me pass it to him. Also, this is the recipe of the chicken soup and venison he loved last time. I have already written it down."
Xuan Haoran's mother looked at Shi Wu and knew that he was her baby's best friend. She said sincerely: "Good boy, I will leave it to Haoran. Please take care of yourself along the way. Auntie has nothing to give you here, so this little money
Spend it on the way." After saying that, she took a few taels of silver from the back room to give to Shi Wu.
How could Shi Wu accept her favor? He waved goodbye and said: "Aunt, you're welcome. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Shi Wu walked away quickly. When he arrived at Erdan's house, the two brothers were still in the yard helping to shell the harvested millet. Seeing that it was Xiao Wu who came, the brothers were surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked Shi Wu
Is Wu in good health?
Shi Wu smiled and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm leaving."
The brothers were disappointed for a while after hearing this. Shi Wu handed them the two slingshots in the bag and said to them: "Didn't you like these slingshots last time? I'll give them to you. You'll become better and better when I'm not around."
The more powerful you are, don't let others bully me. If you encounter something you can't solve, go discuss it with your brother Haoran."
The two Erdan brothers nodded desperately.
Shi Wu seemed to have thought of something again, and handed a piece of paper to them and said: "This is the recipe for the secret sauce big bones that you like to eat. Just follow the recipe above, and the taste should not be bad."
The two brothers Erdan hurriedly took over and said: "Thank you, Brother Xiaowu!"
Under the reluctant gazes of the two little guys, Shi Wu just smiled, waved and left.
When Shi Wu knocked on the door of Xiaoguai's house, Xiaoguai's mother opened the door. Seeing that she was here to see Xiaoguai, she hurriedly called Xiaoguai in the back room to come out.
When Xiaoguai saw that it was Shi Wu who was coming, he said happily: "Brother Xiaowu!"
Shi Wu also smiled and said, "I'm leaving."
"Where are you going?" Xiaoguai asked in panic.
Shi Wudao: "Grandpa A is going to take me to a far away place to see a doctor."
Xiaoguai asked: "Then will you come back?"
Shi Wu affirmed: "I'll come back if I keep an eye on it."
Xiaoguai nodded and said, "Then go and see it quickly. Come back as soon as you like it."
Shi Wu hummed, and said a little embarrassedly: "I brought toys for Haoran and the others, but after thinking about it, there seems to be nothing suitable for you. This is how I made the osmanthus cake last time, which was made by my father.
I copied it from the recipe. If you don’t know how to cook it, give it to Haoran. He must also want to know how to cook it." Shi Wu remembered how Lin Jiaqiu liked eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake by the river at that time and thought.
Zhu Xuan Haoran definitely wanted to continue to show off, so he told Xiao Guai so.
Xiaoguai still didn't quite understand, but since it was Shi Wu who said it, it was definitely correct. She hummed and said, "Okay."
Shi Wu looked at Xiaoguai's cute appearance, thought about it, and handed half of the spiritual stone originally given by Yang Yifan to Xiaoguai and said: "Here. This is called a spiritual stone. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits and miasma. Girls should take it with them."
It’s also pretty.”
Xiaoguai looked at the spiritual stone that looked like jade but was not jade, and refused: "Brother Xiaowu, this is too precious, Xiaoguai can't take it."
Shi Wu smiled and said: "Silly girl, I was reluctant to give it to you before, but suddenly I remembered that I haven't given you anything properly since I met you. It's Brother Xiao Wu who is stingy."
Xiaoguai retorted: "Brother Xiaowu is not stingy!"
When Shi Wu heard this, he smiled and put the spirit stone in Xiao Guai's hand. Seeing that it was getting late, he said to Xiao Guai: "Just take it, I have to leave. Grandpa Ah is still here."
Waiting for me."
Xiaoguai looked at Shi Wu with sobs and reluctantly waved goodbye to him. Shi Wu didn't want to see the girl sad, so he waved and walked away quickly.
When Shi Wu returned to Lintao Pavilion, Ada and Xuanxiang were already waiting here. Seeing Shi Wu coming back, Xuanxiang said with a sad expression: "Xiao Wu, it's Grandpa Xiang who didn't take good care of you. I'm sorry for Lintao."
.”
Shi Wu comforted him and said: "Grandpa Xiang, I didn't even cry, why are you crying? Xiao Wu went out for treatment this time, and he will come back after he is cured. My father and I will not come back until we are drunk."
"
After hearing this, Xuanxiang burst into tears and said: "Okay, okay!"
General A handed all the house deed keys to Xuanxiang and said, "Thank you."
Xuan Xiang took it and said: "I have agreed that I will keep it for you for a while and get it cured as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible."
Ah Da nodded and said to Shi Wu, "Let's go."
Shi Wu took out the jade hair button from his arms and tied his hair into a feather bun. He picked up the baggage on the table and put it on his back together with the paper umbrella. After tying it on his chest, he said to A Da Dao: "Let's go."
Bar."
The three of them walked all the way to the entrance of Xuanjia Village. Xuanxiang had already helped them contact a donkey cart that was going to bring a cart of millet back to the town. He said to the cart driver: "Lao Zhang, I'll leave it to you."
The old man who looked to be in his seventies chewed the tobacco leaves in his mouth, smiled and said: "Lao Xuan, if you are here, I will give it to you on the way. Besides, I have been friends with you for so many years.
You're going to get angry if you're so polite."
Xuanxiang smiled and said: "Okay, then next time I come, I will treat you to a pot of good wine."
"Sure!" Lao Zhang nodded with a smile, and then said to Ah Dadao, "Let's go now."
Ah Da hummed, led Shi Wu to sit at the back of the car, and waved to Xuan Xiang.
"Drive -" Lao Zhang whipped down, and the two strong donkeys tied in front said "Ah - uh -" and walked forward quickly. Shi Wu was sitting on the rickety donkey cart and suddenly looked at
I saw a figure running over from the village. He had a bow on his back and a deer leg wrapped in coarse cloth in his hand. He looked like he had just returned from hunting. Shi Wu lowered his head when he saw the person coming.
After laughing, the man said in a loud voice: "You brat left without saying a word! Come on." After saying that, Xuan Haoran used all his strength to throw the deer leg in his hand over. Fortunately,
There was also Ada beside Shi Wu, who caught the deer leg firmly with one hand. If Shi Wu was allowed to catch it now, he might be badly hit by the big deer leg.
Xuan Haoran held his knees and gasped for air, and shouted to Shi Wu: "Come back as soon as you are ready!"
Shi Wu also tried his best to reply: "Definitely!"
