Sun Han continued: "There are also four masters, who have to patrol the grottoes every day, and even get up once every night to see if anyone has sneaked in. ”

Shen Meng didn't expect that there were so many things here, so he simply asked, "You mean that the fourth master is the caretaker of the cave?"

Sun Hancheng shook his head and said, "Not only the fourth master, but several of my masters are the keepers of the cave, and they have been guarding the cave here for decades, if it weren't for them, there would be nothing left in this cave." ”

Shen Meng couldn't help but be a little in awe after hearing this, she walked to the door and looked to the side to see the tall mountain range in the distance and the wide grotto on top of the mountain range, and the curiosity in her heart was even heavier.

This place is different from all the places he has been to before, the mountains and rivers here, the people here, the customs here, and most importantly, there seem to be countless secrets hidden here waiting for him and her to reveal little by little.

Sun Hancheng took Shen Meng and walked towards the back of one of the doors, and after walking through this door was a long and narrow passage, the ground was paved with irregular pebbles, and it felt very comfortable after walking on it.

After crossing this narrow path, you will come to another courtyard, which is the closest to the grotto of all the courtyards, and there is a ten-meter-high lookout in the courtyard.

This lookout had been discovered after Shen Meng had just seen the canyon, and he didn't know what it was for, but now he understands after hearing Sun Hancheng's words just now, since his fourth master has the heavy responsibility of guarding the grotto, then this lookout, as a high place in the canyon, plays a warning role.

In addition to the high lookout platform in the courtyard that surprised Shen Meng, there was another place that surprised her, and there was a small kiln in this courtyard.

Shen Meng's home was originally a kiln burner, so she was no stranger to this, but what surprised her was far more than these two places, in one of the slightly simple rooms in the courtyard was a full set of blacksmith forging tools.

Seeing everything in this courtyard, Shen Meng couldn't help but be a little surprised that these four masters were really not ordinary people.

At this time, in this room, a ** man with an upper body is wielding a hammer and clanging to forge a piece of pig iron.

This person is about forty years old, burly-looking, with a cold complexion and a slight beard, and the tight muscles on his body are due to long-term exercise, he knows at a glance that this person is definitely not easy to mess with, no need to ask this person is Sun Hancheng's fourth master Gao Guang.

"What are the fourth masters busy doing?" Sun Hancheng shouted at Gao Guang.

Gao Guang clanged the iron, and after hearing Sun Hancheng's words, he didn't raise his head and said directly: "Your third master's hoe is broken, and I am about to make a new hoe for him." ”

He didn't even stop the movements of his hands as he spoke, but as if he suddenly felt that something was not right, he stopped his movements and looked at Sun Hancheng and the others.

After seeing Sun Hancheng, he laughed, and at the same time threw away the tools in his hand, walked towards Sun Hancheng, and said as he walked: "You stinky boy, I thought I had auditory hallucinations, but I didn't expect it to be your kid back." ”

Sun Hancheng also took two steps and hugged Gao Guang vigorously.

"I'll just come back and tell Master Gao. ”

Gao Guang looked very excited and said: "Didn't you kid say that you won't come back when you encounter something this year, how can it be that things are settled." ”

"Well, so to speak. ”

Gao Guang looked at Sun Hancheng carefully, as if he wanted to see if Sun Hancheng had changed from the last time they met.

But suddenly found that there was another person beside Sun Hancheng, he looked at Shen Meng a little embarrassed, and asked Sun Hancheng, "Boy, who is this girl?"

Sun Hancheng hurriedly introduced him and said, "Let me introduce you to you, this is my girlfriend Shen Meng." ”

"Why is this your girlfriend, you brought your girlfriend back?" Gao Guang seemed to be a little incredulous.

Sun Hancheng asked a little puzzled: "Is this still what you have been nagging me to bring my girlfriend back, why did I really bring it back, but you have such eyes and such a tone." ”

Gao Guang didn't pay attention to Sun Hancheng anymore, but looked at Shen Meng, and tried hard to squeeze out a gentle smile and said, "Girl, the conditions on our side are quite simple, don't dislike it." ”

Shen Meng was reasonable and said with a smile: "Fourth master, don't say that, I think the air and scenery here are very good, and the scenery is good, I am very happy to come here." ”

Gao Guang was very satisfied when he heard Shen Meng's answer and said: "You can say that, it means that you are a good girl, this kid can find a good daughter-in-law like you, it is really happy for us old guys." ”

After saying a few words, Gao Guang suddenly thought that he had no clothes on his upper body, and said to Sun Hancheng with a little embarrassment: "My side is iron and mud and unclean, you take other girls to go around, and let your Sanniang cook a few more dishes at night, let's have two cups." ”

Sun Hancheng naturally saw Gao Guang's embarrassment and said: "Okay, fourth master, then let's go first, don't forget to bring the jars of good wine you brewed yourself in the evening." ”

Gao Guang smiled heartily and said, "That's natural, you can rest assured." ”

After Sun Han said goodbye to Gao Guang and Shen Meng, he did not return far but walked out from the gate of Gao Guang's courtyard, outside the courtyard was a vast and boundless canyon, and there were few trees in the yellow sand in the sky, only there were some trees around their house, and there were mostly some bushes in other places.

Shen Meng knew that it would definitely not be easy to raise a few trees in the middle of this water-scarce canyon.

Under the leadership of Sun Hancheng, he bypassed the courtyard of the fourth master Gao Guang and came to another courtyard.

This yard is also different from several other yards, and the first thing Shen Meng found is that there are more trees around this yard, not only are there several local trees planted, but there are even some very rare fruit trees.

The gate of the courtyard was not locked, and Sun Hancheng pushed the door very easily, which made Shen Meng a little shocked again.

After pushing open the door, it turned out to be a white shadow wall, on the wall is a huge Fu character that is fired out of porcelain and inlaid into the shadow wall wall, and there are four porcelain paintings around the Fu word, which are painted respectively Mei Lan, Zhu Ju, and four gentlemen.

This porcelain painting is very large, and the paintings and glazes on it are very beautiful, and at first glance it is painted by a skilled painter.

Such a large porcelain painting is very difficult to fire, and it is often very extravagant to have one, and how can Shen Meng not feel shocked when he sees four pairs of them here.

And what shocked Shen Meng even more was that he saw something here that shouldn't have appeared in this place, bamboo.

There is a row of sparse bamboos in front of this shadow wall, and the bamboo covers the wall of the shadow wall high, as if an umbrella is propped up for the shadow wall, and the thickness of the bamboo is just not obscuring the pictures on the shadow wall, which seems to be so harmonious and complementary.

Even the well-informed Shen Meng couldn't help but take out his mobile phone in front of this shadow wall to take a self-portrait of friends.

Sun Hancheng was accustomed to such words, and did not disturb Shen Meng, who was busy taking selfies, turned the shadow wall and shouted inside: "Master Du, I'm back." He shouted several times in a row and did not hear anyone answer, he climbed up the wall along a ladder in the corner, and looked at the donkey shed in the distance, the donkey inside was not there, knowing that his second master Du Qiu had not returned from fetching water.

At this time, Shen Meng had already finished taking photos and turned over the shadow wall and came to the courtyard, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the other furnishings in the courtyard.

There are two pomegranate trees at the door of the main house of the courtyard, the persimmon tree is full of persimmons at this time, there are stone tables and stone stools under the tree, the stone table is trimmed and carved with a whole piece of bluestone, there are a lot of birds and beasts on it, it looks very beautiful.

What Shen Meng didn't expect was that there was a rockery made of strange stones not far away, what kind of barren land in the yellow sand of the northwest was this, even if it was Jiangnan, it would not be an exaggeration.

Shen Meng had no doubt that if there was no shortage of water here, the owner of the yard would definitely dig a pond in the middle of the yard to raise koi fish.

Seeing Sun Hancheng sitting on the wall, Shen Meng looked at him and asked, "What are you doing on it?"

Sun Hancheng didn't answer, but beckoned to her and motioned for her to go up.

Shen Meng has never been a weak woman, she walked over and climbed the ladder to the top of the wall and sat side by side with Sun Hancheng on the wall.

They were in the shade of the persimmon trees, and the breeze blew and the heat brought shade. Let Shen Meng feel relaxed and happy.

The location of this place is excellent, except for the watchtower in the courtyard of the fourth master, it is estimated that this is the best place in the canyon.

From here, you can clearly see the large and small grottoes on the wall of Luming Mountain, and even the huge Buddha statue carved on the wall, which once again shocked Shen Meng.

She felt a huge pressure and didn't dare to keep staring at the Buddha, so she looked nearby instead, looking at the surrounding courtyard and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The first yard to go to is the yard of the third master Feng Zhang and the fifth master Liu Qing, the yard is very clean, there are rows of neat farm tools and chicken coops to raise some chickens and ducks, it can be said that it is very life-like.

The second courtyard is the courtyard of the fourth master, Gao Guang, because I am afraid that the sound of striking iron will make everyone rest, so there is a long path through, and there is a blacksmith furnace and a lookout inside, and you can feel a powerful killing aura when you walk in.

And now that I have come to the courtyard of the second master Du Qiu, there is a literati elegance on the pavement, even if I don't see people, just by seeing this courtyard, I can see the different personalities of these people.
