On the second day, the rain was quite heavy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The two of them stood side by side at the entrance of the cave and watched the pouring rain, and then looked at the sky divided by several large trees.

"It seems that this rain can't stop for a while?" Li Ke said.

Jiang Chengzi nodded and said firmly: "Not only can't it be stopped today, but it may not be able to stop tomorrow." ”

"I hate the rain the most. Yun Ge complained.

"Very good. Li Ke glanced at Yun Ge and said that there was enough firewood, enough dry food, there were fish in the river in front of him, and the beautiful scenery of Lost Mountain was surrounded, which was very good.

"Childe, don't you hate rain the most?" Yun Ge looked at Li Ke who turned back to the cave in disbelief and shouted sharply.

"If you don't talk too much, all your jewels will be donated to the soldiers at the front. Li Ke looked at Yun Ge, his expression and tone were all threatening.

"When I didn't say it. Yun Ge flailed his wings and returned to his birdbed in a huff, curling up and sulking.

"You hate rain?" Jiang Chengzi walked over and sat down on the stone, talking to Li Ke while pouring water.

"It's not annoying, sometimes I listen to the rain. Li Ke said.

"Nonsense. Yun Ge muttered in a low voice.

Although the voice was small, Jiang Chengzi's ear power was excellent, but he heard it. She didn't understand why Li Ke obviously hated the rain, but he had to say that the rain was very good at the moment. Of course, she doesn't go to the bottom of it, let alone expose it. Just smiled and chatted with him casually, and ate some preserved dried meat with hot tea.

This time, we are talking about the situation of the imperial court and the customs of Chang'an.

After chatting for a while, the rain outside was lighter. The two of them put on simple clothes made of palm leaves, caught a lot of fish in the gentle water by the river, disemboweled, and washed them, so that they could find enough for lunch and dinner.

Eat grilled fish as usual at noon. This time, the eagle who couldn't find food made an exception and went into the hole to eat grilled fish together.

Jiang Chengzi asked Yun Ge to make another suggestion to let the eagle take shelter from the rain in this cave, and the eagle did not object. Jiang Chengzi spread the dried leaves and hay he had picked up earlier and made a simple nest.

The eagle squirmed over and crouched down, looking at the move that seemed quite satisfactory.

So, just like that, a heavy rain made the two people and two birds trapped in this cave for two days and three nights.

By the morning of the third day, the rain had finally stopped.

The two of them stood side by side at the entrance of the cave, looking at the blue sky overhead, and the warm sunlight projected down, the green grass was greener, and the raindrops were rolling and crystal clear. Birds chirp happily in the empty mountains.

"It's a sunny day. If it rains again, I'm going to get mold. Yun Ge flapped his wings.

The eagle called a few times calmly, and Yun Ge said to Jiang Chengzi, "Nine girls, it said it was time to leave." ”

"Good. Although Jiang Chengzi likes the beautiful scenery in front of her, she is more worried about the safety of her father and mother, and she is more worried about whether the situation in Chang'an has turned out of control, which will be unfavorable to Li Ke every minute.

Li Ke never spoke, just stared at this place in a daze.

"Ah Nian, what's wrong?" Jiang Chengzi asked as he packed his baggage.

Li Ke shook his head and said: "The scenery of this place is beautiful, the fish in the stream are fat, the mountains are silent, the clouds are rolling and the clouds are soothing, and no one disturbs them. Some are reluctant to leave!"

His voice lowered, and Jiang Chengzi suddenly understood why he didn't like rain and said that the rain was very good. Because the rain is falling, the two of them will be in this world, no one will disturb them, and there will be no troubles about the worldly trivialities that are tied up and deceitful.

"yes. Some are reluctant. She also stopped what she was doing.

"Why don't you stay for another day?" Li Ke tried to ask.

Jiang Chengzi didn't speak, but Yun Ge was making trouble: "Someone in Chang'an has impeached you, those people have bad intentions, you better go back earlier." ”

"Those beam-jumping clowns, I don't care. Li Ke's tone was contemptuous, but he looked at Jiang Chengzi with a pair of eyes, full of expectations.

Jiang Chengzi couldn't bear to disobey him, and she didn't want to ruin his interest, but the most important thing was that she also liked it here.

"Then, Yunge, can you ask the eagle if he can stay for another day? It has rained heavily for two days and three nights, and the road may be loosened, and it may be dangerous to hurry at this time. Jiang Chengzi pondered it and asked Yun Ge to ask the eagle.

Yun Ge did as instructed to say to the eagle, and the eagle agreed. So, the two of them and the two birds stayed in this mountain for another day.

After the rain, the sky is clear, and the mountain is a different scene. The mist is steaming, the mountains are green, and the birds are singing. Colorful pheasants burrow through the grass, and pregnant she-rabbits walk away in panic.

Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke picked a lot of dried fruits, caught some fish, took out fruit wine, and had a picnic on the lawn outside the cave.

The two had a very good time. However, during this period, Jiang Chengzi also asked those plants if they had ever heard of such a plant.

"Mu He? I haven't heard of it. The big pine tree she asked told her.

"Haven't you heard of it?" she asked, a little disappointed.

The great pine tree, which has grown for thousands of years, replied: "I don't lie, there should be no one on this lost mountain." These juniors around me will talk about some anecdotes when they have nothing to do. ”

"Thank you. She was slightly disappointed.

Then the tree said, "But maybe there is." After all, our tree can't be moved, but here, born and grown up in Si and died in Si, what we know is only within this radius. ”

"You're humble! Thank you for informing me. Jiang Chengzi bowed to the big pine tree.

"If you want to know Mu He, I can pass it on and ask again. After all, we can't move trees, but as long as there are mountains, no matter how far away, we can connect the city. Or, there are trees that know. The big pine tree said very sincerely.

"Thank you. Jiang Chengzi thanked him here and worshiped the big tree reverently.

Li Ke, who was sitting in the distance, watched Ah Zi salute the big tree, with a solemn expression and thoughtful manners, as if he was bowing to the gods.

"It's going to take a while, and if you need it, come back later. The tree said.

Jiang Chengzi bowed again, left respectfully, and walked towards Li Ke.

"Are you asking Mu He?" Li Ke asked gently.

"Those who know me, Ah Nianye. Jiang Chengzi said mischievously.

He stretched out his hand to brush away the fallen leaves on her body, and said with a smile: "Mu He's matter is unavoidable, don't be in a hurry." ”

She knew that he was right, so she nodded obediently, ate some wild fruits, and ran through the forest with great joy.

At night, the two lay side by side on a bed of soft grass, neither of them slept. Jiang Chengzi was mainly because she was going to enter Chang'an, and she felt a little nervous and excited to see Li Shimin; Li Ke was purely because her fragrant breath came into her nose from time to time, and her heart was very ape, and she was very hard to control over there.

In short, neither of them fell asleep, until the second half of the night, when the two were too sleepy to fall asleep.

On the second day, the eagle woke everyone up. Finally, in the evening, I went out of the Lost Mountain and saw a village of about ten families at the bottom of the mountain. When the eagle's mission was over, it turned and flew into Lost Mountain.

The two of them entered the village and found a farmhouse at the entrance of the village, Li Ke stepped forward and knocked on the firewood door and asked, "Is anyone there?"

An old woman in a gray skirt came out of the thatched hut, stood in the courtyard with her hands, looked at them through the fence, and asked, "What is the matter?"

The old woman's accent was close to that of Chang'an. Jiang Chengzi became excited, it seems that he can indeed take a shortcut into Chang'an by crossing the Lost Mountain. Then, I will enter Chang'an in the near future, and I will soon see my father, brother and mother, and I can really take action to solve the impeachment of Li Ke.

"We went up the mountain to collect medicine, got lost for a long time, and now we have found our way down the mountain, sleepy, hungry and thirsty, and the day is getting darker. Please also ask the old man to make it convenient for me to rest with my little brother for a night. Li Ke bowed to the old woman through the fence.

The old woman looked defensive, and said, "It is convenient for you, it is possible." But whether you are a villain or not, it is not my wife who has the final say. Wait a minute, I'll have someone call for a trip. Don't be careful, bandits have been rampant all these years, and we don't dare to take in strangers at will. ”

"Exactly, exactly. We're here waiting. Li Ke agreed.

The old woman turned to the house and shouted, "Sanwazi, if you invite Lizheng to come, you will say that someone is staying overnight." ”

A child flew out of the house, jumped over the fence wall, and sped away from the vegetable patch next to it. The old woman was shouting, "You go to the vegetable field again, don't step on the leeks." ”

The little boy did not look back, like an arrow off the string, and ran to the other side of the village, and disappeared as soon as the smoke slipped.

After a while, an old man with a gray beard ran over panting, looked Li Ke and Jiang Chengzi up and down, and asked, "Are you really collecting medicine?"

"Uncle, let's be honest, we are not medicine boys, nor are we Langzhong. Li Ke said.

The old man frowned and asked, "Then you still say that you are collecting medicine?"

"Indeed, we are collecting medicine. My grandfather was not in good health, and Lang Zhong said that he wanted to take medicine, saying that there is a lost mountain in this lost mountain, but it is easy to get lost in the lost mountain. My cousin and I went up the mountain to give it a try, but we got lost. Is this the boundary of Chang'an?" asked Li Ke.

"Filial piety can be added. It can be regarded as God's mercy, otherwise how can you get out of the Lost Mountain. The old man sighed, and then asked them to issue relevant tokens or something.

Only then did Li Ke take out the items from his baggage that proved the identity information of the two people. Li Zheng took a look, nodded solemnly, and said, "It was originally from Li Village outside Chang'an City." I have been to that place, and my sister was married in Li Village before. Later, the war disaster caused the whole family to suffer misfortune. ”

When the old man said that later, the old man burst into tears. Li Ke had to persuade him, the old man liked Li Ke even more, and immediately said that the old woman's house was really dilapidated, and the two of them were not ordinary dolls, and his house was cleaned up a bit.

Li Ke excused himself and said that it would be good to have a place to live. Moreover, this family seems to be poor, and if they can help make up a few copper coins by spending the night, it can be regarded as their mind.

Li Zheng didn't say anything more, but said to the old woman, "This is a distinguished guest, don't be lazy." ”

When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly ran over and opened the fence door, and led the two into the house to sit.

In three thatched huts, with children waiting to be fed, the old woman said, "My daughter-in-law and son have not returned from working in the fields. I don't have to take care of my little grandson here, and I don't care about cooking. If you're hungry, should you eat sweet potatoes first?"

As she spoke, the old woman pointed to the low wooden square table, where a few large sweet potatoes were contained in a black earthen bowl. One piece had been pinched in half, revealing a red heart.

"After it was cooked at noon, I pinched a little to feed the children. I've got a sweet potato to lick. The old woman was very proud.

"Thank you, old man. Li Ke gave a salute.

The old woman waved her hand and said, "Thank you for what I have done? If it weren't for the Nine Girls who brought the sweet potatoes given by the gods to the imperial court, His Majesty now loves the people and lets us farm. In our village, I'm afraid we will starve to death a long time ago. I want to thank you, I have to thank the fairy-like nine girls, thank Your Majesty back then. ”

The old woman said and bowed in the direction of Chang'an.

"yes. It's time to thank them. Li Ke also agreed, and secretly glanced at Jiang Chengzi, and smiled sheepishly.

Jiang Chengzi knew that this sweet potato would definitely bring earth-shaking changes to Datang, but when he heard the gratitude from the mouth of an ordinary person, he felt another thing in his heart.
