The cold moonlight shone into the thatched room through a low window, a dark oil lamp swayed in the wind, and the old man who was herding sheep stepped on a stool and took out a painting rolled in mulberry paper from the roof beam and handed it to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu took the words and slowly spread it out, and he was a little dumbfounded when he saw the scene of the portrait, a towering ancient tree with lush branches and leaves, a thick and strong trunk, and a crimson body, entrenched on this one, covered with dark cyan scales, teeth and claws, and a hideous dragon appeared in his field of vision.

Seeing the mysterious and magical dragon as a totem of this kind of animal, Yang Yu's pupils constricted, a pair of fox eyes bloomed with a clear light, his brows inadvertently slightly twisted, then the old man of the sheep said quietly: "My grandfather when I was very young, he told me the story of this painting, he said that in the depths of Taihang Mountain, there is a place called Chadong, where people make sunrise, sunset, live a paradise-like life, where the residents generally believe in the sacred tree on this painting. ”

Yang Yu saw that the old man was deliberately revealing to himself that he was willing to tell himself about Tenglongshu, and he didn't want to cause a gap between the two because he peeked at other people's granddaughters taking a bath, Yang Yu scratched his head and clarified to the old man of the sheep: "Old man, I really didn't mean to watch your granddaughter take a bath, I just wanted to come back and ask you about the vine dragon tree, but I really didn't expect to accidentally bump into your granddaughter taking a bath, it was just an accident." ”

The old man waved his hand to signal that Yang Yu had passed, he took a green round box from the bedside of the room, the old man opened the box and pinched out a little tobacco from it, he put the tobacco in the copper cigarette pouch and smacked his mouth and began to smoke, his affection became solemn and silent.

Yang Yu coughed when he smelled the spicy smell in the air, he looked at the old man herding sheep and asked again: "Uncle, is there really such a place called Chadong in the depths of Taihang Mountain!"

The old man spat out a puff of smoke and said: "Maybe there is, maybe not, after all, it's just a long-standing story about the vine dragon tree, you can leave with this painting, don't come to disturb my life and my granddaughter's life, maybe the place in Chadong is not as good as it has been circulated." ”

At this time, Ah Lian in the room only resignedly said: "Grandpa, I stayed here in Taihang Mountain and suffocated me to death, I want to go with this young man in front of you to find the vine dragon tree." ”

Hearing the words of the girl Ah Lian, the old man slapped the table angrily and said, "Ah Lian, you are just messing around, do you know how dangerous the outside world is!"

Ah Lian glanced at his grandfather with a resentful expression, Yang Yu took the mulberry paper scroll into his arms, and he said to the old man who was herding sheep: "Since the old man has told me everything about the Tenglong Tree, then I should also leave." ”

The old man who was herding sheep nodded to Yang Yu, and Yang Yu turned his head and left the hut.

When Yang Yu walked out of the house, he glanced at the sky and found that it was still early, and he was about to go back to sleep for a while, and the figure jumped a few times in succession and returned to the side of the stone nest.

Yang Yu took out a blanket from the bag behind his back and covered himself, the sky is the quilt, the ground is the bed, he looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and began to close his eyes to rest, he was ready to wait until dawn to go to the tea mountain in the depths of Taihang Mountain.

……

It didn't take long for Yang Yu to breathe out a rhythmic breathing sound accompanied by the trivial crumbs of the autumn crickets in the mountains, and the steady snoring broke the silence in the mountains, I don't know how long it took, when the moon in the sky shyly hid in the clouds, Yang Yu suddenly felt a little itchy nose, he opened his eyes and saw Gillian sweeping between his nostrils with a dog's tail grass.

Ah Lian stared at Yang Yu with a focused face and said, "The tea mountain you are going to has to take the waterway, and you can't row a boat, so you can only let me take you there, so you can take me in and out to play." ”

Yang Yu looked at Ah Lian and wondered, "How did you find me?"

Ah Lian said shyly: "At that time, I sprinkled some begonia powder in the house, and your clothes were stained with begonia powder, so I found you by following the smell of begonias." ”

"Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will blame you if you follow me? Yang Yu looked at Ah Liandao.

Ah Lian hesitated for a moment and said: "Grandpa always tells me that the world is hot and cold, let me stay in Taihang Mountain and live a carefree life, but I really want to go out and see the outside world." ”

Hearing the words of the girl Ah Lian, a soft place in Yang Yu's heart seemed to be suddenly touched, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Since you want to go out with me to have a look, then you have to say hello to your grandfather first, otherwise he will worry about you." ”

Ah Lian looked at Yang Yu with a smile and said, "When I came to look for you, I put a letter at my bedside and left it for my grandfather, I can only accompany you secretly, otherwise I will not be able to leave by telling grandpa in person." ”

Yang Yu glanced at the innocent Ah Lian and said, "Are you sleepy, if you are not sleepy, we will leave now, I will not be sleepy when I am woken up by you." ”

Ah Lian stared at Yang Yu and said, "I'm not sleepy, let's go to Chadong now, I can't wait to get out of here." ”

In the interweaving of light and shadow, Yang Yu and Ah Lian walked in a shade at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and the path made of fallen leaves walked deeper into Taihang Mountain.

Ah Lian jumped up and walked beside Yang Yu and said, "Tell me what the world outside this Taihang Mountain is like!"

Yang Yu couldn't help but glance at the two snow-white deep grooves on Ah Lian's chest, he thought to himself that this girl was really not deeply involved in the world, and she didn't even wear a bra, isn't this obviously tempting people to commit crimes.

Ah Lian couldn't help but look at Yang Yu's straight gaze, and a flush rose on his face and said, "People are talking to you!"

Hearing Ah Lian's words, Yang Yucai took his gaze back, and he coughed and said: "The world market outside is prosperous, with many small merchants selling things on both sides of the road, and the high-rise buildings are lined up one after another. ”

Ah Lian shook Yang Yu's arm and said coquettishly: "The world outside is so beautiful, then you can take me to see it!"

Yang Yu slowly lit a cigarette and took a deep breath: "We were born to come to this world to see the scenery in this life, your grandfather may be kind to you and afraid that you will be hurt by something, but in this way your world will be a little less colorful." ”

Ah Lian was like an ignorant little girl, she saw Yang Yu smoking, snatched the cigarette from his hand and put it on her pink lips and smoked, Ah Lian coughed loudly and then handed the cigarette to Yang Yu stupidly.

Yang Yu took the cigarette soaked in Ah Lianfang's lips and took another puff, he couldn't help but feel that the mouth was very good.
