From the passers-by, we learned that 'Nanshan' is actually called 'difficult mountain', and the predecessors of Jiangnan Town believe that this mountain is majestic and dangerous, and it means 'difficult to climb'.

It is said to be in the north of the town, but as far as the eye can see, there are white clouds......

The town was full of people during the day, and from time to time rowed a search of awning boats on the small river beside the road, most of which were still board boats carrying goods, and the ripples stirred up the reflection of the washing woman, and an old woman washing vegetables suddenly stopped, her gray eyes were out of focus, and the reflection in the water seemed to shake out her former self.

Jiangnan Town has been the most marginal town of the Xia Dynasty since ancient times, almost not governed, so that Jiangnan Town has been in a state of autonomy for a long time, in such an environment there is no too obvious class w struggle also thanks to this water and soil to make the life of Jiangnan people carefree, in the days of non-aggression, every second of Jiangnan Town is very slow, everyone walks slowly, no desire and no desire, unconsciously through a lifetime.

Most of the children in Jiangnan are reluctant to ask for immortals, and they are already satisfied with learning some old agricultural skills to strengthen their bodies, and the word ordinary has been deeply integrated into the small river of this town and flowed into the blood.

----------------------------

Two women scolded the street and quarreled, the foam stars flew, attracting a group of people to come to watch, blocking the road, a team of porters carrying sacks squeezed out of the crowd behind a road, shouting and calling guests one after another, Tianyou carried a poplar tree, few people looked at it a few times, in this martial world, it is too common to carry a tree......

Flags and banners, buying and selling, fireworks at the corners of the streets, edified all the way, somehow, Tianyou captured the joy, anger and sorrow on everyone's face, the more hungry and thirsty, the more I found that the anger on these people was beyond their reach.

In the north of the town, the houses are sharply reduced, the stone road has long disappeared, there is only a dyeing workshop and a horse house left on both sides of the loess road near the farm, the loess road is out of the town, disappears in front of a vast field, in fact, it is ripe, in a piece of well-planned field, the rice seedlings are still delicate, the field is also verdant in the distance, a mound of less than 100 meters is overgrown with flowers and plants, the big trees are sparse, most of them are the remains of some barren trees, the waist is broken, from the thickness of the stump, these dead trees were also green and upright before their deaths, and this place has also been soaked in forests, lush, so it seems that this may be the Nanshan after the big water。

Is it difficult to climb the majestic and dangerous South Mountain?

There are few greenery in Nanshan, but the remnants of the big trees can still bring some coolness at noon, under a slightly dense shade, there is a family, there are three earthen thatched houses in the courtyard wall surrounded by reed poles, and the canopy on the firewood at the courtyard gate is made of straw mixed with lime, and now it is yellow and black.

Under the canopy, hiding from the sun, an old lady was holding the soles of her shoes, her eyes as small as black gems set in the well of her eye sockets.

"Old man......" Tianyou walked up to the old lady, but the old lady didn't notice it.

Tianyou tried to shout louder, but the old lady still lowered her head, stitch by stitch, slowly.

Tianyou raised his hand reservedly and put it down, and after thinking about it, he chose to leave.

"Huh?" keenly sensing that someone was approaching, Tianyou stopped to take a closer look.

Tianyou unloaded his sword and waited quietly.

After a while, a sturdy middle-aged man came out from the back of the house, carrying a bundle of firewood, and saw a stranger standing next to the old mother, still holding a sword, and hurriedly threw down the firewood and pulled out the firewood knife.

"What do you want to do!", and shouted to his mother, "Mother!"

"Huh. The old lady's voice in response was loud and loud.

Tianyou looked at this bark-like old face with twilight, the old lady was already waiting, and when she looked at him, her black bean-like eyes revealed a different essence from ordinary old people.

"Stay away from my mother, quickly!" The middle-aged man in short brown clothes was shirtless and strong, holding a firewood knife but did not take a step forward.

Tianyou's arm moved, "Sa!", "Bang!" In an instant, Tianyou disappeared in place, replaced by a crack with white smoke, the crack was three feet into the ground, the sturdy man had flashed to the old lady's side, Tianyou dodged ten steps, and there were some palpitations in his heart, this sturdy man was definitely not a very human, and the move just now was also a killing move, if there was no 'streamer step' this method, he would definitely be split into two, flat and neat.

"Reckless, tree... This kid ...... There is no killing intent......" In the stalemate, the old lady finally spoke, full of teeth, these words spit out from the limp lips looked extremely loose, there was a feeling of trying to spit out words with a piece of cloth, and there was an ethereal look.

"I'm afraid he's pretending. The middle-aged man's eyes were still sharp, staring at Tianyou.

"My son, my old woman...... After looking at the soul for a lifetime, this bit of human heart... Can't see through it?"

The middle-aged man didn't speak, "Not yet... Put it down..."The old lady tilted her head, but the middle-aged man was still holding the firewood knife.

"Mother, I've made a move, and this person can't stay......"

The old lady shook the soles of her shoes and threw them in her son's face: "I... I'm not sure, it will... Let you... Put it down?"

"......" The middle-aged man put away the firewood knife.

Tianyou had already put on his sword, glanced at the mother and son a few more times, turned around and left.

The middle-aged man gradually relaxed, the corners of the old lady's mouth curved into an arc, and with the extremely deep wrinkles on her face, this expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling looked very crazy......

"Kid... Just now... What do you want to say......"

Even after a dozen steps, Tianyou still heard it.

Turning around, he bent down: "I just wanted to ask the old-timers for someone." ”

The old lady's son hurriedly said: "We don't know anyone in the town, and there is no one around, don't ask." ”

"You say ......," the old lady waited for her son to finish speaking, and spit out a sentence slowly.

"The second girl of the flower boat in Jiangnan Town seems to have died on this South Mountain......"

At this moment, the middle-aged man and the old mother glanced at each other, and the man replied, "You are also ......."

"The flood this year ago happened to be my mother and son when they first arrived in Jiangnan, the general trend of mountains and rivers has been repaired and perfected in the early years, and the flood disaster is impossible to repeat, that time, it is two monks who fight, the sky is flooded, and it is not flooded in Jiangnan, but the two of them happened to go to the top of Nanshan, and the thunder and fire split the Nanshan mountains and rocks, and the grass and trees are broken...... This South Mountain has been a big mountain since ancient times, the mountain is stable, and it is extremely strong, and the ancestors of the two girls will go to the mountainside to settle down, who knows how to meet this ......"

The old lady continued, "This little girl... For me... This new neighbor is also... Friend... Well, I've been... I thought... Save, but... This mortal body... Along the mud and rocks... Roll around... People die, old bodies... Powerless. ”

"Where is it buried?"

The middle-aged man pointed to the thatched house: "Her house and my thatched house are also on the same line, the mountain situation of Nanshan has changed drastically, and the mud and rocks at the foot of the mountain have increased dramatically, so it seems that it should be buried deep at the foot of the mountain." ”

"I want to plant this tree in the back mountain, can I borrow it?"

As soon as the middle-aged man moved, he was touched by the old lady and nodded to Tianyou.

"Thank you, old-timers. ”

------------------

Behind the thatched hut is a vegetable garden, the soil of the vegetable garden is also constantly stretching upward, it is obvious that this is lost from the mountain, behind the black soil is a gentle slope, the trees have been cut down to the left, a convex slope is followed by a sudden increase in the arc of the hillside, is also a wasteland.

The sparse vegetation makes the foot of the mountain extremely hot, and there is no shade to shelter nature and no cicadas......

Tianyou chose a clean open space not far from the vegetable garden, with no tree stumps and weeds and wildflowers around, and blasted out a deep pit, and the poplar trees were submerged and covered with soil......

......A gust of wind blew by, and there was a cool feeling of water, and the dead poplar tree finally fell its first iron leaf with the cool breeze, followed by the second, and then the third......

In a few blinks, half of the leaves have fallen......

Tianyou didn't know why he cared about this tree, what did it have to do with him? He didn't know, he just knew that he didn't want to watch this tree fall to the ground, at least go back to the ground.

In order not to see the poplar lose its leaves, Tianyou patted the tree and left the backyard.

The mother and son were still under the canopy, "Done?"

Tianyou nodded and clenched his fists: "The seniors have a good eye, the grace of not killing, and the juniors remember." ”

The old lady nodded and watched Tianyou go far west.

The middle-aged man asked, "Mother, how can you be sure that this kid is fine." ”

The old lady still had a grim face that seemed to be smiling, and said softly: "I have never seen such a clean soul......"

"Huh?"

"I... It's hard to say...... It's hard to say."

After a moment of silence, the old lady bent down.

The old lady's hand picking up the soles of her shoes paused, then picked it up, straightened up, and said to her son, "Go find... Find this... Child, I... Don't you want to... He died. ”

"By the way... Ask his... Information... I want ...... Keep an eye on ...... One time. ”

"Before... Not... See, ex... Unprecedented... Smell ......"

The old lady's black bean eyes once again emitted the luster of black gems, making the whole face a little darker, and it was terrifying.
