Elephant Mountain is not particularly high, although a few people walked all the way, it took only two hours for everyone to reach the top of Elephant Mountain.

"Uncle Silk...... Look, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain! Mu Yi, who was standing on the top of the mountain, pointed to the towering snow-capped mountain in the north and exclaimed excitedly.

Listening to Tang Bo, who was calling Mu Yi, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and couldn't help but feel a little stupid.

Although in the Black Dragon Pond below, even the ancient city of Lijiang can see the sacred mountain Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to the north. However, standing on the top of Elephant Mountain and looking at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it is a different feeling.

There is no cloud in the blue sky, and the peaks of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain under the sunlight are dazzling, as if embedded in the clear sky, extremely majestic.

Tang Bo stood straight on the top of Elephant Mountain, looking at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the north, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and he didn't know how long he was in a daze......

"Uncle Silk, Uncle Silk......" Mu Yi next to him pushed Tang Silk, who was in a daze, and shouted softly.

"Ah...... What's wrong? Tang Bo came back to his senses, looked at Mu Yi in front of him, and said softly.

"It's time for us to go down, Uncle Bo! It's time for lunch, although grandparents know that we're here to collect medicine. However, if you don't go back at lunchtime, you will be counted. Mu Yi said softly to Tang Bo in front of him.

"Oh!" Tang Bo reacted immediately, quickly nodded his head, and said softly: "Oh, okay, okay." We went down the mountain. ”

Descending the mountain is obviously much faster than going up the mountain, and after a while, Tang Bo took the four children to the Black Dragon Pond at the foot of the mountain.

"Mu Xin, this is my herb, you take ......" said Mu Yi directly took the basket and poured his own morning's fruits into Mu Xin's herbal basket.

"Mu Yi......" The shy little girl gently pursed the corners of her mouth, wanting to speak, but she didn't say anything. Obviously, she was used to Mu Yi's actions.

Then, Tang Bo saw that He Ran and He Daye poured the herbs from their own herb basket into Mu Xin's herb basket without saying a word.

Tang Bo obviously saw that this little girl wanted to refuse, but she didn't know how to speak, and she might even not be allowed to speak. The result is moving and overwhelmed.

"I'll go home with Uncle Bo first!" Mu Yi, who is like a little adult, waved directly at the friends in front of him and said with a smile.

"Goodbye ...... wood"

"Goodbye Uncle Silk......"

The three polite children said to Tang Bo in front of them.

"Xin'er, Xiao Ran, Xiao Da. Good bye! Tang Bo also waved his hand, and said goodbye to the three people in front of him. So he walked in the direction of home with Mu Yi.

After following Mu Yi for a while, Tang Bo slowly asked, "Xiao Yi, why did you give Xin'er all the herbs you dug up in the morning?" ”

"There's no why? My grandparents told me a long time ago that all the herbs they dug up were given to Xin'er! I'll give it to Xin'er! Mu Yi, who had just arrived at Tang Bo's waist, cracked his lips and smiled at Tang Bo in front of him. Looking at his missing two or three teeth, it's very funny.

"Oh!" Tang Bo nodded his head and didn't say anything more. Let's go in the direction of home with Mu Yi.

The Jade River is like a mother river from north to south, passing through the entire old town of Lijiang, and Grandpa Mu's house is on the bank of the Jade River. Typical Naxi architecture. The gate faces south and faces a huge wall.

Not long after Tang Bo and Mu Yi came back from the mountain, Grandpa Mu and his grandmother also came back from working in the fields. He and his grandmother, who had just come back from the field, hurriedly went to work on the meal, and Mu Yi was sent by Grandpa Mu to help! There were only two people left in the whole yard, Tang Bo and Grandpa Mu.

"Grandpa Mu, can I ask you a question?" Tang Bo looked at Grandpa Mu next to him and said softly.

"Huh? What's the problem? Grandpa Mu said to Tang Bo next to him with a little confusion.

"In the morning, I went digging herbs with Mu Yi. In the end, I wondered, why did Mu Yi give Mu Xin all the time he dug up in the middle of the night? He said, "You told your grandmother." Tang Bo gently raised his eyebrows and looked at Grandpa Mu next to him.

Grandpa Mu was stunned by Tang Bo's question, his slightly cloudy eyes looked at Tang Bo next to him, trembled his hands slightly, picked up the pipe pinned to his clothes, stuffed some tobacco into it, and lit it......

Grandpa Mu, who smoked a few puffs of cigarettes, looked at Tang Bo next to him a little melancholy, and sighed softly.

"Alas~ this kid is quite pitiful......" said Grandpa Mu took another long puff of cigarette and said softly.

When the child was five years old, her parents went out to work and had a car accident. Then ......" Grandpa Mu's expression tensed slightly, and his eyes were slightly red.

continued to whisper: "However, blessings do not come twice, and disasters do not go alone. Her grandfather was also gone when she was seven years old. Grandma's health is not good. A family is supported by her child. What can a child do? That's all we can do to help her. Although, the conditions of our family are not very good? However, it is more than ten times better than her family! ”

Tang Bo looked at the old man sitting on the steps of the courtyard next to him. His face, like the bark of a dead tree, was deeply wrinkled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked a little confused and worried about the future.

"In the past, when the Ancient Tea Horse Road was prosperous, there were many customers passing by, and Lijiang was prosperous and wealthy. But now......" the old man sighed softly.

"Those who have made money will flee if they are able to flee from the city. Those who remain are those who can't afford to buy a house in the city. This pearl on the ancient tea horse road is in decline...... "The old man obviously has some deep feelings for the old town of Lijiang.

Yes, he has been here all his life, from childhood to old age. It has also witnessed the gradual decline of the old town of Lijiang from a prosperous ancient city to a dilapidated ancient city.

For this old man, is economic development good or bad? The answer is also vague.

In the past, when it was underdeveloped, the Yunnan-Tibet Tea Horse Ancient Road could only be transported by horses. And the old town of Lijiang on the Ancient Tea Horse Road can be so dazzling. However, now it has developed. There are cars, roads, and the Yunnan-Tibet line. The Ancient Tea Horse Road has completely lost its effect, and this beautiful ancient city has also weakened!

Tang Bo gently raised his head and looked at the blue sky, thinking a lot. I don't know how long it took, he took a deep breath and solemnly said to the old man next to him, "Grandpa Mu...... Don't worry, I will definitely let the old town of Lijiang re-exude her dazzling light! ”

"Huh?" Grandpa Mu raised his gray-white eyebrows slightly, turned his head suspiciously, and glanced at Tang Silk next to him.

Looking at Tang Bo's serious and firm expression next to him, he hadn't said the shocking words before he opened his mouth. He swallowed it back deeply.

However, he still didn't choose to believe Tang Bo's words. In his opinion, the Ancient Tea Horse Road has been abandoned. What else can he do to bring the old town of Lijiang back to life?
