80s Taoism

There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and the year is completely cold.

The maple leaves turned from green to red, and then drifted down again, leaving bare branches covered by snowflakes again. Unknowingly, the weather turned from warm to cold, but Zhang Jiaohua didn't feel it. He was still walking tirelessly in the woods. The Diamond Mountain Leopards followed Zhang Jiaohua all the time. When Zhang Jiaohua stopped, they stopped. When Zhang Jiaohua left, they also followed.

The strange thing is that in a few months, the clothes Zhang Jiaohua was wearing were still the same as they were a few months ago. Not only did they not become tattered or dirty, but they were not dusty or dirty at all. Although the clothes were not the same as new ones, they were still clean and tidy. Unlike Chen Epilepsy, when he was outside for a few months, the clothes all over his body became black and greasy.

Zhang Jiaohua's hair has also grown longer, but it is as black and flowing as a TV commercial star's hair, not as disheveled as Chen Epilepsy.

Snowflakes fluttered in the sky again, like goose feathers flying, and the cold wind howled in the air. But Zhang Jiaohua didn't notice all this, he was still walking in the snow-covered mountains and forests. In a few months, Zhang Jiaohua has grown a lot taller, and he looks like a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. Because the shoes under his feet were too small, Zhang Jiaohua had already thrown them somewhere. The clothes on his body were also obviously not fitting well. Fortunately, I never took it off, otherwise, if I took it off, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to put it on.

Walking in the snow with bare feet, leaving a series of footprints along the way. Zhang Jiaohua didn't feel cold at all. What was even more strange was that although the sky was full of snowflakes, whenever the snowflakes were about to fall on Zhang Jiaohua's body, they would automatically float away. Zhang Jiaohua seemed to be covered by an invisible barrier.

The fat cat is covered with snowflakes, making it look like a fat white cat. The Diamond Mountain Leopard was also covered with snowflakes, but it didn't care at all. It still followed Zhang Jiaohua with its head up and walked forward. A hole had been rotted in the cloth pocket on Fat Monkey's body, and not a single chestnut was left in it. But it is still reluctant to throw away this cloth pocket.

Although his cloth pocket can no longer hold things, it can't help it at all. The clothes pocket on Zhang Jiaohua's body has become its storage bag. In the morning, it even ran over to the squirrel's warehouse, stole a handful of chestnuts from it, and stuffed them all into the pocket of Zhang Hua's clothes. When I was hungry, I went to Zhang Jiaohua's clothes pocket to grab a few.

A few months ago, Zhang Jiaohua always ate one or two meals a day, and he was not picky about food. Later, he gradually ate less, sometimes one or two meals a day, sometimes one meal a day, and sometimes he didn’t eat at all. He didn't feel hungry, nor did he feel any embarrassment like being hungry belly to belly. On the contrary, the spirit is getting stronger day by day. But he still couldn't wake up.

The spiritual consciousness of Zhang Jiaohua, who has been backlogged in a corner of the Sea of ​​Consciousness by a large number of Daoist inheritance, digests the things in the Sea of ​​Consciousness every day. As long as he digests a little, some things will be stuffed into the Sea of ​​Consciousness again.

Meiziao Village.

Zhang Youping's house seemed extraordinarily quiet, Liu Qiaoye was sitting in Zai Zai's room, gently stroking the new clothes for Zai Zai with his hand. It's the Chinese New Year, and Zai Zai needs to change into new clothes. This is the custom of Zhang Youping's family in previous years.

A few days ago, Liu Qiaoye went shopping in the shopping malls on the street for several times before choosing a suit of clothes. Since tea and tourism have become more and more popular, the pockets of people in Gezhuping Town have become more and more bulging, and the business in the town has naturally become better and better. People in the town are no longer satisfied with wearing new clothes, they want better styles and better brands.

Ordinary people are always driven away by life, and of course it can be said that they are constantly pursuing a higher life. Earning a few hundred dollars a year is a way of life, earning a few thousand dollars a year is also a life, and now earning tens of thousands of dollars a year, life is still tight. I always find that I have more things to buy, I always find that the money in my pocket is never enough to spend, I always find that there is a way of life that I can never catch up with...

Liu Qiaoye didn't care about these things, she suddenly discovered that the happiest days were actually the time when Zai Zai was just born. At that time, although the family had no material goods, the family of three could live the most simple life. If time can be turned back, Liu Qiaoye hopes that he and the man did not go to Guangdong. In that way, Zai Zai may be able to live an ordinary life like an ordinary child, at least he can be by his side. She regretted that she didn't tell Zai Zai not to go to Luo'aling to herd cattle, so Zai Zai would not have such an experience.

Liu Qiaoye has always been caught in such self-blame.

Zhang Yuanbao rushed to Zhang Youping's house, opened the door and said loudly, "Uncle, aunt, grandpa and grandma asked you to go over for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Zhang Youping smiled and said to Zhang Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, you go there first. I will come with my aunt later."

Zhang Yuanbao glanced at the beggar's room, "Uncle, don't worry about your aunt. The beggar will be fine. Maybe someday he will come back by himself when he gets tired from wandering around outside."

Zhang Youping suddenly realized that his nephew was much more sensible, but worried that Yuan Bao's words would irritate Liu Qiaoye, so he hurriedly said, "Go ahead first, be careful on the way, and don't fall into the paddy field."

"I know. It's okay to fall into the paddy field, the paddy field is dry." Zhang Yuanbao walked away in a hurry. After all, children are still immature, and they don't know what it means for Zhang Jiaohua not to come back for such a long time.

Zhang Youping walked into the beggar's room cautiously, and said in a low voice, "Father and Mother, let's go over to have the New Year's Eve dinner. Let's go over there."

Liu Qiaoye shook her head, "Go alone. I have to stay at home and wait for the beggar. What if we go out and the beggar returns suddenly? Maybe the beggar will come back to celebrate the New Year!"

Zhang Youping didn't dare to say anything more, "Alright then, I'll call my parents so they won't wait."

Zhang Youping quickly called his parents.

When Zhang Manyin received a call from Zhang Youping, he immediately said, "Youping, why are you and Qiaoye still here? The whole family is waiting for you."

Zhang Youping quickly said, "Father, you can eat. Don't wait for us. Qiaoye refuses to come, so I don't worry about her being alone at home."

"Okay. Please persuade Qiaoye well. Alas." Zhang Manyin sighed and hung up the phone.

"What? Isn't Qiaoye willing to come over?" Ma Donghua asked.

Zhang Manyin nodded, "Qiaoye still hasn't crossed this hurdle."

"Where did the beggar go? I have searched all over Xintian County, but there is no sign of him. Now I have even searched in several neighboring counties. No one has ever seen the beggar. Zijiang City TV broadcasts the missing person notice almost every day. Even the provincial TV station broadcasts the news that the beggar has gone missing. Youping rewards are almost distributed all over the country. If the person is not found, the scammers have attracted many people." Zhang Youlian said.

Hu Xiaoqing nodded, "Can we still find beggars?"

"I'll definitely find it. The beggar is so powerful, and the bad guys can't catch him. He must have traveled around the world. Just wait, the beggar will come back by himself one day!" Zhang Yuanbao said angrily.
