Chapter 12 Retaining Next
Hearing the words of the girl in blue, Stone's originally godless eyes lit up slightly, but when he saw the frown of the old man in gray, the light in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
While disappointed, the stone also has a little unindeed relaxation.
Just when the old man in gray didn't know how to answer the girl in blue, Shi Zhengming came in.
"Senior, are you looking for me?"
The old man in gray nodded and looked at the stone lying on **. He turned around and asked with a faint smile, "Zhengming, do you know that there is a place called Ma Yanshan in the west of Yancheng?"
"The younger generation knows! There are seven places where red bells are produced around Yancheng, among which the red bells produced in Mayanshan are of the best quality.
"Oh? It's still a place to produce medicine!"
He was slightly surprised. The old man in gray smiled and said, "Zhengming, that child is called Stone, who is from Ma Yanshan. Can you send someone to Ma Yanshan to inquire about it? Let's see if there is anyone else in his family.
"Ma Yanshan is only 13 miles away from here. The younger generation will send someone to inquire now, and you can reply to the senior in the evening."
After replying with a smile, Shi Zhengming smiled at the old man in gray and said, "Senior, the wine and vegetables are about to be ready. Do you think you are eating here? Or is it in the Green Grass Pavilion over there?"
Before the old man in gray opened his mouth, the girl in blue said first, "Grandpa, you go there with Uncle Shi to eat. Qinger is here to eat with the stone."
Looking at Shi Zhengming's inquiring eyes, the old man in gray smiled bitterly and said, "Since Qinger has made arrangements, please arrange it."
"No trouble! The seniors will wait a minute. The younger generation will set up the wine and dishes in the Qingcao Pavilion and then invite the seniors.
After leaving for a while, Shi Zhengming came back. This time, he was followed by two maids carrying food boxes.
"Senior, Yao Xiangge has already set up wine and vegetables."
The old man in gray first turned around and nodded to the girl in blue who was looking at him, and then Shi Zhengming smiled and said, "Is there any chicken white head soup? I have eaten it with you once seven years ago, but I will never forget it!"
Shi Zhengming smiled and said, "I remember that my predecessors like this dish. How can I not prepare it?" Senior, please!"
The old man in gray nodded with a smile and walked out first.
"Muxia and Muxiang, after setting up the food, you will stay here to serve the Qinger girl."
He said to the two maids, and Shi Zhengming hurriedly took two steps and walked out with the old man in gray.
After the old man in gray left, the girl in blue smiled at the stunned stone and said, "Stone, you are already very hungry!" Get up and have dinner with your sister!"
Looking at the stone staring at herself, the girl in blue smiled and then said, "If you don't get up, how about your sister feeding you?"
I don't know if he was afraid that the girl in blue would feed herself. After hearing this, Stone immediately sat up.
Stone didn't pay attention before, but now he has sat up, and he finds that he is only wearing a clean close-fitting clothes.
Seeing that his clothes had been changed, the stone immediately grabbed his chest. After touching the water drop-shaped jade, the stone was relieved.
"Why are you so nervous? Do you think your sister will be greedy for your things like that splash?"
Hearing this, Stone looked at the girl in blue and shook his head, and then began to look for his clothes in **.
Stone didn't find his ragged clothes, but saw a new cotton-padded coat and a new cyan coat. Although cotton-padded clothes and coats are also coarse cloth clothes, they are much better than the coarse cloth clothes on poor farmers.
Looking up at the girl in blue, Stone got up and put on the cotton-padded coat and cyan coat.
Since his uncle's death, Stone has not worn new clothes for four years. The clothes on the body are very warm and comfortable, but the stone feels a little uncomfortable.
"What? Don't the clothes fit?"
The stone shook his head, climbed to the bedside, picked up the new shoes on the ground and put them on, and then stood up.
The stone glanced around nervously, and then lowered his head and stared at his feet.
Seeing the helpless look of the stone, the girl in blue smiled, reached out and patted the stone's head, and whispered, "Come and eat with my sister!"
Stone looked up at the girl in blue, hesitated for a moment, followed the girl in blue to the edge of the table.
"Sit down!"
After sitting down following the words of the girl in blue, the stone looked at the seductive food on the table, and then lowered his head again.
Looking at the stone so reserved, the girl in green smiled, picked up a small bowl of fragrant rice porridge, handed it to the stone, and whispered, "This fragrant rice porridge is very good for replenishing qi and blood. While it's hot, my sister feeds you more."
With that, the girl in blue took a small spoon and scooped a spoon in the small bowl and sent it to the mouth of the stone with the small bowl.
The stone dodged back and stretched out the hands wrapped in sackcloth to pick up the small bowl in the hand of the girl in blue.
"The medicine in your hand can't touch hot things. It's better for your sister to feed you!"
With no way to hide, the stone had to drink the porridge sent to his mouth.
After taking a sip, the stone seemed to be completely relaxed and no longer resisted the girl in blue to feed him porridge.
When the girl in blue was feeding Shishi porridge, the old man in gray, who was eating with Shi Zhengming in the Qingcao Pavilion, suddenly turned the topic of the two to Shitou.
"Zhengming, I want to ask you to adopt a stone. What do you think?"
When Shi Zhengming said that he knew Ma Yanshan, the old man in gray knew that the stone did not lie to them. Although Stone did not lie to them, the old man in gray did not want to take in a child with the power of ghosts.
Seeing that the girl in blue cherished the stone so much, the old man in gray knew that it was not easy to get rid of the idea of the girl in blue to take in the stone, so he wanted to arrange the stone first, and then persuade the girl in blue to give up the idea of receiving the stone.
Hearing the words of the old man in gray, Shi Zhengming replied with a smile without thinking about it, "The senior has a destiny. How dare the younger generation not follow? Although the green grass hall of the younger generation is not a big industry, it is still no problem to take good care of a child. Speaking of which, the child's surname is Shi, and he may have been with us a hundred years ago.
"Thank you very much!"
"You are polite to the younger generation again!"
During the conversation and laughter, the two determined the life after the stone.
When night fell, Shi Zhengming sent the family member to Ma Yanshan to inquire about Stone's life and returned to Qingcao Hall with the news he heard.
"The child named Stone is indeed from Ma Yanshan! According to the information inquired by the slave, Stone was brought to Ma Yanshan by a crazy tramp more than seven years ago. They have been living in a broken temple on Ma Yanshan and usually hunt for a living. Four years ago, Stone suddenly had a sister named Little Nicole, and not long after, the tramp died of illness.
When the family said this, the old man in gray suddenly interrupted the family.
"You said the tramp was dead? Is it really dead or missing?"
Although the family was a little surprised that the old man in gray cared so much about a homeless man, he still answered the old man in gray honestly.
"It's really dead! According to those mountain people, after the tramp died, it was the mountain people who helped the child named Stone to bury the tramp in the mountain.
"Are you really dead? It's okay to die. An evil master of long life is a big disaster for the right way.
Thinking about it, the old man in gray smiled at the house and said, "Go on!"
"Yes! After the tramp died, the child named Stone and his sister depended on the help of the mountain people in Mayan Mountain. Yesterday morning, when the kind mountain people of Ma Yanshan went to the ruined temple and asked Stone and his sister to go to their house for dinner, they found that the ruined temple had been burned down, and both Stone and his sister had disappeared.
After listening to the words of the family, Shi Zhengming sighed, "That child is really pitiful! In the future, in the younger generation Qingcao Hall, the younger generation will definitely treat him well.
The old man in gray nodded, was silent for a while, and smiled at Shi Zhengming, "Qing'er is still waiting to listen to the origin of the child's background!" I will go back to the backyard first.
"Senior, please!"
When the old man in gray returned to the guest room in the backyard, the stone had fallen asleep.
Seeing the old man in gray coming back, the girl in blue pointed to the stone that had fallen asleep, made a quiet gesture to the old man in gray, and then pulled the old man to the living room outside.
"Grandpa, the person who went to Ma Yanshan to inquire about the news should have come back!"
The old man in gray nodded and told the girl in blue what he heard from the family in the Qingcao Pavilion.
After listening to the words of the old man in gray, the eyes of the girl in blue turned red.
"Grandpa, since Stone is really just a helpless orphan, let's take him in!"
The old man in gray shook his head and smiled, "If you really cherish him, you should let him stay in this green grass hall."
"Stay in the Green Grass Hall?"
"Grandpa has talked to you Uncle Shi. He is willing to adopt Stone and promise Grandpa that he will take good care of him."
Seeing the hesitation on the face of the girl in blue, the old man in gray sighed and whispered, "Qing'er, do you think it's good for him to wander around with us? Or is it better to live a stable life in Qingcaotang?
"But..."
The girl in blue wanted to refute her grandfather's words, but she didn't know what to say.
"Qinger, we are practitioners, and his meridians are completely blocked, but they are doomed to become a practitioners. Do you think it's appropriate for us to take him in?"
After a long silence, the girl in blue looked at the old man in gray with tears and asked, "Grandpa, will Uncle Shi really take good care of the stone?"
The girl in blue called Uncle Shi Zhengming is completely out of politeness. She is not familiar with Shi Zhengming at all.
"As long as you say that you will come to see the stone in the future, he will definitely take good care of the stone."
The girl in blue is smart. Of course, she understands the meaning of Grandpa's words.
"Grandpa will go to rest first, and then Qing'er will go to see the stone."
"You should also go to bed early. Let's leave Shijia Town tomorrow morning."
The girl in blue nodded gently and then walked to the bedside.
As soon as she came to the bedside, the girl in blue looked into the godless eyes of the stone.
"He heard what my grandfather and I just said!"
Seeing the helplessness and confusion in the stone's eyes, the girl in blue only felt a stream of blood rushing to her heart.
"Grandpa, Qinger is worried about giving the stone to a person who is too scheming. I'm going to take him with me."
