Chapter 11: The content of the DVD (2)

Uncle Chen, who was standing in front of the camera, was much more gentle and gentle than my master Wen Erwen. He looked at the camera with a gentle and loving gaze, just like Chengxin standing in front of him. He said, “Chengxin, I don’t know how you are doing since your master left. Brother Jiang proposed to record some of the scenery along the way for you to comfort you. I agree.”

“Mmm.” Brother Chengxin was a little dazed. He couldn’t help but say “Mmm” and made the same mistake I did last time, talking to Uncle Chen to himself.

Uncle Chen didn’t say much, and like my master, he walked to the edge of the boat and looked out at the vast river and the green mountains on the shore. He said softly, “You and I have traveled to many places, and we have never forgotten this beautiful river and mountains. Hmm… they also need our care. Chengxin, you always know your master’s habits, and this is very important. Don’t forget.” When he said the last sentence, Uncle Chen had already turned around and was facing the camera. His eyes were calm, but there was also a hint of command, as if a parent was teaching a child something and telling him to remember it next time.

This sounds like a casual conversation, but when you think about it carefully, it doesn’t sound right. Why would a casual conversation be about making Brother Chengxin aware of environmental protection? Could it be that Uncle Chen is an avid environmentalist?

This idea is a bit ridiculous. Since I saw the gesture of the master, I firmly believe that every word they say has a purpose. So I unconsciously looked at Brother Chengxin and found that his face had become very strange at this time, and he was also mumbling something in his mouth, as if he was recalling something. In order to be sure, I couldn’t help but read it out loud, but I didn’t realize it.

After Master Chen finished speaking, he left the camera, and the camera began to film the surrounding scenery. However, the person filming was not professional, or perhaps because the boat was too wobbly, the camera kept shaking, giving a feeling of dizziness.

After a minute of this, we all felt the boat shake violently, and then the camera went completely dark.

The scene was over, and I subconsciously pressed the pause button. I don’t know why that last sway made my heart race so much. Was it because the waves were too big, or…

Moreover, I vaguely felt that I was a little familiar with that stretch of river, but it did not match any place in my memory.

“What do you think?” I said seriously.

Ruyue held her chin and didn’t say anything. Chengzhen and Chengyuan naturally didn’t have any opinions either. Chengqing sighed and said, “That last shot was too strange.”

Hui Gen’er asked me with a red eye: “Brother, are you really going to set up a chicken farm?”

“Eh?” I was stunned for a moment. Our master always gives us suggestive words, but this Master Hui actually said something stupid about a chicken farm. Hui Gen’er, this dumb kid, took it seriously!

I put my hand on Hui Gen’er’s bald head and said, “Of course not. Your master’s greatest wish is actually for you to be a great monk. He misses you too much, but he doesn’t want to show it, so he’s deliberately talking nonsense to you.”

“Hmm.” Hui Gen’er wiped his eyes with his sleeve. Since the battle with the little devil, the boy had matured a bit. After being taken away to learn the arts for a year, the whole person looked a bit darker and thinner than before. He must have suffered a lot, and even now he has not fully recovered.

Unfortunately, I, as an older brother, have been too immersed in my sorrow for too long and have even forgotten to care about him.

“Brother,” Hui Gen’er suddenly said.

“Huh?”

“Before the winter vacation, can you help me with the paperwork to take a leave of absence? It doesn’t matter if I graduate a few years later. I want to go with you to find the master.” Hui Gen looked at me with hope and determination in his eyes. To be honest, this kid is 19 years old, almost 20 years old, and has already passed through his teenage years. He is a young man. Even though he is more mature than his peers, he is still a bit naive due to his experiences. However, this does not prevent him from making decisions for his own life.

“Mmm,” I nodded and agreed with Huigen. This adventure would definitely not be possible without Huigen.

Hui Gen’er didn’t say anything, probably still feeling bad, but Cheng Xin Ge coughed, as if he had something to say.

He took off his glasses, lightly wiped away a tear with his finger, and then said, “Chengyi, I also think that the last bump was problematic. Maybe something appeared in the water.”

I nodded and said, “This is not important. After all, it has already happened. Master and the others should have survived it. What else did you find?”

“It’s not a discovery, it’s a certainty. Under this river, there should be important medicinal herbs or plants.” When Chengxin said this, he tried hard to look indifferent, but the slightly trembling corners of his mouth betrayed him. His heart was also unsettled.

“Why are you so sure?” I asked with a frown.

“Just because of the exact words of the master, we usually have this kind of conversation. The master always tells me that the current environment is not the same as before, but the great mountains and rivers are still there. As long as the great mountains and rivers are there, there will always be some hidden “magic medicine” that has not yet been extinguished. However, we doctors have a benevolent heart, and we should treat medicinal materials in the same way, that is, we should leave a glimmer of hope.” Chengxin slowly said.

“Just like the people in the Dragon Tomb?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.

“Yes, then the master said, let me remember his approach, and it is not difficult to confirm that he must have obtained something here, and his approach is to preserve life, which means that what he obtained is still there, and let me remember to get it.” Chengxin said with unusual certainty.

And we all know that this statement from Brother Chengxin should be the answer. This connection makes perfect sense.

So I subconsciously tapped my forehead, and the answer was clear in my mind, but I always felt that there was still a little bit of a chance to break through that layer of paper.

“Chengyi, I have a very uncertain view of what Chengxin said. It seems that I also have a little bit of confidence.” It was Chengzhen who spoke.

I turned my head and asked, “What do you mean?”

Cheng Zhen shook his head and said, “I’m not sure yet. I’m afraid that if I say it out loud, you’ll be seriously disappointed. Brother Cheng Yi, play that part again. I’ll watch it more carefully, and maybe I’ll get an answer.”

“Okay!” What else is there to say? I quickly rewound the DVD and played the clip again.

After watching it once, Chengzhen shook his head and didn’t say anything. He asked me to play it again. I knew that this kind of thing couldn’t be rushed, so I didn’t urge Chengzhen in the slightest, and played the DVD again.

In this way, I saw it back and forth for the fifth time. Chengzhen suddenly said, “Chengyi, press pause quickly.”

I knew in my heart that Chengzhen must have seen something, so I pressed the pause button almost as fast as lightning, and the image on the DVD stopped on a piece of scenery.

That was some random footage of the scenery before Master and I spoke. The camera was shaking, so I suddenly pressed pause, and it still looked a bit blurry.

Chengzhen walked over to Chengqing’s big TV, frowned slightly, then stared at the screen, his face almost touching the TV. We all held our breath, and intuitively knew that Chengzhen’s clue was very important!

In this way, Chengzhen stared at the TV for almost a minute, then pointed to a point on the river and said, “There’s a problem here.”

I have also studied some feng shui knowledge and can see the trends of mountain ranges and water flows. Because Chengzhen said he had an idea, I also took a closer look at the playback of these times.

But I found that the feng shui here is nothing special, nothing to be concerned about. What problem did Chengzhen see?

The place where she pointed was a small whirlpool. Whirlpools are generally understood to be the result of the terrain under the river surface. What was she trying to tell us with the whirlpool?

We all looked at Chengzhen, and she didn’t beat around the bush, saying directly, “There is something under the surface of the river, but I don’t know what it is. The ‘qi’ here is wrong!”
