Chapter 36: The Emerald Mountain

The three of them walked out of Sanssouci Town, and when they walked on the road, they saw the ragged Qi people, walking listlessly along the side of the road in groups of three or five. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info their backs were facing in the direction of Sanssouci Town, covered with scars and gloomy expressions. Thinking that they were carefree a few days ago, but now they are wanderers, and a few years of aristocratic life is like a dream, Su Yue can't help but sigh for them.

Tong Xi is rarely happy today. She jumped and ran in front of Dian Yin, glanced back at him, and then came back and shook his hand and said: "Brother, ......" She just finished saying the word "brother" in her mouth, but when she saw that Dian Yin only flashed, she flashed into the wandering team of the Qi people, reached out and grabbed a person's collar, and pulled it hard, but pulled out a tall, thin and long-haired woman, the woman was holding a blue-pupil sword in her hand, and there was a sneer at the corner of her mouth that couldn't be erased, but it wasn't Liao Tingyun, who was it?

At that moment, Liao Tingyun pulled out his sword first, and Dian Yin also showed the hidden dragon double blade, and the two fought together without saying hello. Shocked that those sluggish Qi people thought that there were radical young people coming to trouble them, and they were so frightened that they rushed to the wolves, screaming everywhere.

Su Yue shook his head, pulled out the golden knife and yelled to separate them, and shouted, "If you have something to say, you can't say it well?"

Liao Tingyun didn't answer his words, but glanced at Tong Xi and said hoarsely: "Sister, did you tell him about me again?"

When Tong Xi heard that the tears came down again, he just cried and did not speak.

Dian Yin just said unhurriedly: "Sword ...... You blame my sister-in-law, although Dian Yin's martial arts are not good, but a master is hidden among these mediocre Qi people, just like the armory shop with your blue pupil sword, even if you don't see its shape, you can feel its coldness. ”

Liao Tingyun said: "In this case, I will go." After speaking, he turned around, but was stopped by Dianyin. He said respectfully, "Where else do you want to go?" or come with me?"

Su and Tong were shocked when they heard this. Liao Tingyun was even more surprised, with anger in surprise, and pushed him coldly, striding forward. Dian Yin didn't stop her, but said loudly behind her: "The prodigal son will not change his money! I, Dian Yin, am not a mediocre and stubborn person, through these few things, I can at least see that you have a sincere heart......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liao Tingyun. She still said in a voice that was extremely incompatible with her appearance: "What are you, dare to come and teach me, the old lady has been galloping in Youzhou for more than 20 years, how have you ever been restrained by anyone?"

He looked at Su Yue with a blank eye, and said to Su Yue with a smile: "Today, the old lady simply said all the words of half a month. Before his death, the so-called fourth brother said that he had two senior brothers, one named Tihu and the other Wulong, and these two people were better than the blue. Although he is not as proficient in everything as Zhu Xin, his attainments in a single item are definitely not under Zhu Xin. She put away the disdain on her face and said solemnly: "If any of these wandering Qi people inform these two people of the news of Zhuxin's killing, they are afraid that they will bump into them or be found by them in the future, there will be a fierce battle." This is the original words of the fourth child, I don't know if he is scaring or the truth, anyway, the old lady is not playing. You'll do it for yourselves. After saying that, there was another sneer, and the lightning and thunder disappeared like a ghost.

The three of them put the letter on the road suspiciously, all the way to the north, overnight in Xiaoxing, the terrain of Damu, the middle is flat, and the west is a high SD with some scattered hills. On this day, when I went to a scenic spot, it was not only warm and warm, the sky was high and the clouds were light, but there were also many birds and animals, strange flowers and birds. Walking on the road, when they heard the rustling of grass and trees, they either jumped out of a deer or ran over to a roe deer, which often amused the three of them to lean back and be happy. Dian Yin asked Su Yue: "What kind of location is this, and there is such a strange scenery?"

Su Yue covered his forehead with one hand, blocking the stinging sunlight, and pointed to a mountain with the other: "Do you see that mountain?"

Tong Xi followed his vision, and it was indeed a good mountain: the peak was not high, but the forest was dense, and there were flowers and plants everywhere. The turquoise color is dotted with various flowers, so the flowers are luxuriant and very eye-catching. Tong Xi couldn't help but sigh: "This mountain is really a blessed land, how can it raise so many flowers and trees?"

Su Yue smiled: "You're wrong, it's not the one in front, it's the one in the back!" The three of them looked at the half-hidden mountain behind them, which was different from the blue green in front of them, and the mountain was emerald in the middle of the mountain, and the mountain was angular and angular, towering into the clouds, and it was eye-catching among the hills in Mudong. Dian Yin said: "Could it be that this is the famous jade mountain that is jade-colored from afar and close?"

Su Yue said proudly: "It's the Emerald Mountain." This mountain is simply wonderful! Mudong is a low hill, but this mountain goes deep into the clouds. And the mountain is steep, there are edges and corners, like a four-sided tent, the most bizarre thing is the emerald color, the general mountain is green from afar, the front is blue, this mountain looks like a pale green emerald from afar, and it is almost unchanged when you get closer. It's weird!"

Tong Xi is still a child's temper, and when he heard him say it so appetizingly, he had to go and see it. The three of them happily went.

On the way, Su Yue said as he walked: "We Mudu people call this mountain our hometown, because this mountain is the most clear mountain that Mudu can see. In the past, wanderers who returned to their hometowns or girls who married abroad walked to the Emerald Mountain, and they had to climb to overlook the prosperous Mudu City. ”

The further I went, the more the Emerald Mountain, which had been half-hidden and half-visible, slowly revealed its true face. Dian and Tong were amazed, and sure enough, as he said, the whole mountain was like a big emerald house, not only sharp and angular, but also as steep and smooth as a pile of sand dunes that had been built by people, reaching into the sky.

The three of them walked in and looked, and they were even more amazed, the various leaves on the mountain were really pale green in the soft light. The mountain springs are dripping and falling, and the warblers are crying and swirling. After a few hours, they climbed halfway up the mountain, sweating profusely, and saw a north-facing viewing platform, a pine railing and floor, a thatched hat on it, and three powerful words engraved next to it, "Wangxiang Terrace". It's just that today is cloudy, the vast sea of clouds, the mountains and forests can't be distinguished, and the prosperous Mudu can't be seen. Su Yue swayed from side to side, and couldn't help but feel lost. He suddenly remembered a few homesick poems written by the fleeing people in the pavilion in Man'er Ditch. I can't help but feel:

The clouds cover the mist and the capital is surging, and the fairy mouth is blown away and there is no home.

Tong Xi wept again, sobbing incessantly. She is a person from outside the world, Youzhou is just a vast foreign land for her, and the Emerald Mountain can't give her the same homesickness as Su Yue, but what resonates with her is the same homesickness.

The three of them slipped around the mountain again. By the time we descended the mountain, it was already past mid-afternoon. Tong Xi just shouted that he was hungry. Su Yue said: "There are few people on the Emerald Mountain, and you can only find food by carrying it down the mountain to the Emerald City. ”

Tong Xi complained: "You are very skilled, there are so many birds and beasts on the mountain, why don't you catch one at random, make a fire and roast it and eat it?"

"Don't mention this again, don't do it!" Su Yue said.

Dian Yin asked Su Yue: "Is there a city under this Jade Mountain?"

Su Yue said with a smile: "That Emerald City is just a small city, very livable, it is a treasure land, it was just a village in the past, and then it was the blessing of Emerald Mountain, and the people prospered, but it was only ten thousand households." ”

As the saying goes, "It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to get down." After all, Tong Xi is just an ordinary little girl, unlike Su and Dian, who can toss, turn over one mountain after another, experience disappointment again and again, and see that the bottom of the mountain is far away. She simply sat on the ground and shouted: "Don't go, say nothing and leave, don't eat a bite, don't drink a bite!"

After all, it's not her own sister, and Dian Yin can't pull her face to back her. In this kind of trivial matter, Su Yue is not a soft-hearted person.

Tong Xi is a dexterous girl. She collapsed on the ground and looked up at Su Yue, seeing the indifference in his eyes and the secret anxiety in Dian Yin's heart. She spoke directly to Dian Yin: "Brother, you can carry me." Dian Yin was taken aback and ran down with a red face.

Seeing this, Tong Xi was still noisy and noisy

After a while, Dian Yin ran up with a happy face and said, "Okay, okay, there is just a house below, just under the ridge, not fifty steps away!"

Tong Rhino glanced at him and said, "You can fool me, how can such a steep mountain build a house and live in people?"

"I'm afraid I'll lie to you, just take two steps and see. After saying that, he ran away first. The two of them looked over and saw that, as he had said, there were three or four earthen houses built on a long and narrow rock wall. The earthen house is as long and narrow as a rock wall. But the wooden floor in front of the door was still long in mid-air, and the bottom was braces diagonally with wood, and the edge was surrounded by a railing to make a narrow passageway. There is also a ridge of vegetables and a thin loquat tree planted on the side of the earthen house. There are several layers of wooden planks embedded in the outer wall of the earthen house, and there are several pots of red and bright mountain flowers on them.

Tong Xi was simply stunned, what he saw in front of him was like a huge stone carving painting made by a master stone carver: the densely crowded vegetable furrows, houses, and even the wilted loquat tree were all like the middle of the painting and even better than the middle of the picture.

The three of them ran to the earthen house and asked if there was anyone in the house. As soon as he stepped down the creaking pine aisle, out of the house came a puzzled old man with a dry tobacco stick, wearing an old felt hat that seemed to have never been washed, a black-brown, scruffy homespun cloth, his skin as black as charcoal, and his face wrinkled as fins. The old man looked at them twice, beckoned them over, and led the way into the house.

Tong Xi walked into the vegetable field and saw the rows of dense, huge vegetables. Compared to these proud vegetables growing in the ground, those showy mountain flowers on the wooden board are nothing at all. Further inside is a pigsty. Tong Xi looked inside, there were two pigs in the pen, they were strong but not fat, white and red, the mane on the back was shiny and shiny, and there was a smell but no sludge. She has also raised pigs at home, and she has seen it since she came to Youzhou, but she has never seen such a beautiful one. Further inside, the kitchen, living room, and bedroom occupy at least one room each, and they look as scruffy as their owners. Walking to the living room, the old man had already brought out the camellia, and Tong Xi took a sip out of thirst, and the rich tea aroma and bitter taste filled his mouth at the same time, and spurted out of his nose. A stream of heat runs down the throat and down the stomach and intestines. Tong Xi breathed a sigh of relief, she had never felt that the tea was so delicious. Looking around, the living room is not only small, but also very basic. But the ugly chairs, the scruffy little square table, the black earthen walls and the cobweb-covered ceiling are all so real and artistic.
