Yangzhou City is planted with willows, and there is a stout willow tree ten steps by the moat. The branches are bare, and occasionally a few leaves hang on the branches, which are also curled and ready to break away from the branches and throw themselves into the arms of Mother Earth.

"It's a pity, I often hear people say that Yangzhou is prosperous in spring, but I can only see this bleak winter scene. Yuwen Yanshu lamented as he tied the horse's reins to a willow tree with a crooked neck.

They followed the Dream Pond all the way to the side of the moat, a less populated bay, on which there was only an old arch bridge with potholes, and the railings of the bridge had been broken, and the rough stones could see that it had suffered from the vicissitudes of life.

"Ahh Qiu Chaoyang, who had already tied his horse, patted her on the shoulder, and then pointed to a lower branch for her to take a closer look.

What is so nice about a bare branch? Yuwen Yanshu looked at him suspiciously, and saw that he looked mysterious, so he had to lean over and take a closer look. When you touch it with your hand, it is bulging and swollen inside, as if it is accumulating infinite strength, and it may break through the wall at any time.

Yuwen Yanshu looked at this seemingly featureless branch in surprise, but he didn't think that there was infinite vitality in it, this is the power of life. The relentless winter wind blows away the lush past, but quietly breeds the next prosperity in the hidden place.

"You see, the world only sees their verdant spring, but they don't know that the most lonely time is the most vigorous time of vitality. Qiu Chaoyang changed the appearance of the hippie smiling face in the past, and the whole Socrates was possessed.

Yuwen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed disdainfully.

And the beauty of the dream pool, who has always admired him, is even more love rippling in the bright eyes of the water waves, and she can't wait to melt his whole person into this boundless sparkling eye wave of spring.

Uncle Xiang in the mouth of the great beauty of Mengchi is a slightly short and fat middle-aged man, who is sitting on the river embankment fishing. This person has a bit of a hot temper and speaks roughly. A pair of eyes are always staring at others. Being in the range of his gaze is as if he is under surveillance at all times, and his every move can provoke him to be extremely vigilant.

"Did he manage the accounts of your family before?" On the way here, Yuwen Yanshu already knew from the conversation between Qiu Chaoyang and Mengchi that this Uncle Xiang turned out to be a descendant of the Qiu family, and then he got tired of it, and he suddenly wanted to find an honest daughter-in-law to live a small life of pots and pans. So I quit my old club and happily came out to find a partner.

"Can you see this?" Qiu Chaoyang looked at her with surprise and admiration.

Yuwen Yanshu mistakenly thought that he had guessed correctly, and he was very angry: "That's, don't you see who I am?"

"It's a pity you're wrong, he's feeding the pigs at home. ”

A sentence is like a basin of cold water poured from the top of Yuwen Yanshu's head to the soles of his feet. suppressed her complacent feelings alive.

Qiu Chaoyang didn't care if she was hurt by her fragile little heart, and continued: "The old man thinks that his name is not good, and he is afraid that he will take care of the money. The money in the ethereal palace flows eastward, and the family is surrounded by walls. ”

"Oh, what's his name?"

"Flowing eastward. ”

Uh, Yuwen Yanshu was dumbfounded, the vision of the Autumn Palace Lord is really not long-term enough, and the Ethereal Palace is located in the East China Sea. A river of spring water flows eastward, isn't the money like a surging river flowing into the ethereal palace endlessly?

However, when she saw Xiang Dongliu's residence, she immediately agreed with Qiu Chaoyang's old man's opinion, his residence was really miserable, and those who saw it did not dare to compliment.

Just under the bridge hole of the old stone arch bridge that has gone through the vicissitudes of life, a pit was dug. Relying on the wall of the bridge and cave, a shed was built, which was barely a nest. This is a way of being at ease with what happens, regardless of things outside the body. It can really make those who boast of being able to bend and stretch their husbands extremely ashamed.

"Come in and watch your step. Xiang Dongliu spoke loudly as he pushed open the crumbling door made of bamboo.

Mengchi had been here once before, and walked at the end with palpitations, Yuwen Yanshu felt that he was a guest, so he politely walked behind Qiu Chaoyang. Sandwiched between two handsome men and beautiful women.

The shack was low, and it was just right to flow eastward. Qiu Chaoyang was tall, so he had to shrink his shoulders and bow his waist and get into it aggrievedly. Yuwen Yanshu was not so tall, and stepped in easily.

There was a soft touch on the soles of the feet, probably because the house was built on a river embankment and there was silt underneath. The river is so abundant that the mud even shakes a little.

This year just flashed Yuwen Yanshu's head, and she immediately felt that something was wrong with the feeling coming from her feet, and she couldn't help but look down.

"Ah!" A scream, Yuwen Yan Shu Hua's face was pale, his scalp was numb, his hands and feet jumped up neatly, and the whole person hung on Qiu Chaoyang in front ......of him, "Snake!

Qiu Chaoyang glanced at her with disdain: "It's just a long worm, it's a fuss." ”

Yuwen Yanshu ignored how disdainful he was, hung on him, and didn't dare to touch the ground with his feet, shouting vigorously: "Snake, there is a snake, there is a snake......"

Look at the snake, still with its neck held high, spitting its core at her, and its cold little triangle eyes were full of vicious mockery.

"I just stepped on it, it will bite me, what should I do, what should I do?"

When Yuwen Yanshu was still Shi Yizhen, when she was very young, Shi's mother was worried that she would have an accident when she went down to the river to play in the water, so she scared her and said that the snake in the river is a very terrible animal, if you accidentally touch it, then it will take revenge at the end of the world in time, until the person is poisoned to death. was so frightened that Shi Yizhen never went down the river again.

As a result, the snake has always been in her mind, full of poison and nowhere to escape. And the deep-rooted horror of childhood memories is enough for a person to travel through time and space for thousands of years without forgetting that fear, fear. Therefore, Yuwen Yanshu has always been in awe of the snake and stayed away.

The first moment he heard a scream from inside the house, Dream Pool bounced out of the shack ten meters away.

Qiu Chaoyang helplessly looked at someone who was hanging on him screaming and refused to come down, and beckoned outside the house: "Can't you come in?"

Outside the shed, the first moment he heard the screams coming from inside the house, Dream Pond bounced ten meters away, as if a spring was installed on the soles of his feet. Just kidding, as long as it's a girl, a few of them are not afraid of snakes.

"No, I'll wait for you outside. Mengchi shook his head with a resolute face.

If you don't enter, you won't enter, Qiu Chaoyang doesn't insist, the province is like this on the back, and it sticks to the back like an octopus and doesn't come down, it's really a headache.

Qiu Chaoyang couldn't tear Yuwen Yanshu off his back after a few pulls, so he could only helplessly say to Xiang Dongliu, who was dissatisfied: "Forget it, Uncle Xiang, let's go in." ”

Xiang Dongliu's sharp eyes glanced at the kraft candy on his back like a piece of iron, reluctantly rolled up the mat on the ground where he was sleeping, and then kicked it on a stone brick at the bottom of the bridge in the corner of the room.

"Click-click-" There were a few slight sounds, and a black hole was revealed in the place where the mat had been laid, like a monster's mouth, and the neat stairs extended into the darkness, as if it were the teeth of this monster, eerie and strange.

Yuwen Yan couldn't help but shrink a little, as if the thick fox fur on his body couldn't withstand the cold air from the ground.

"If you want to catch it, hurry up, there are not only snakes down here, but also man-eating ghosts, who specialize in eating tender little girls like you. Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the troublesome essence on his body, Qiu Chaoyang simply lifted her up to prevent her from falling, while scaring her with bad intentions.
