The stick was about three or four inches long and three fingers thick. Zhang Xing couldn't distinguish the wood, only by the heavy weight in her hand and the smooth texture on it, she judged that it was definitely not wood, and when she sat on the side of the ship in a daze every day, if there was no one, she would take out the wooden stick and spend it on the sharp corners of the anchor. More than ten days have passed, and the wooden stick that was originally cut off at both ends has been touched very smoothly by her, and a blood line can appear with a slight stroke of the sharp end that has disappeared.

Tie this wooden stick to her sleeve, and Zhang Xing's heart is more stable.

Zhang Xing is with the stone every day, and the stone also knows about this matter, but he knows that she likes to carry a pointed iron pestle on her body before, but when she is used to it, after looking at it a few times, she didn't ask more.

The boat traveled on the river for more than ten days, and finally landed. Zhu Ye led the children to the shore, there were already four strict carriages waiting on the shore, next to each carriage was a man in green clothes guarding the side, not far away there were seven or eight oily and slippery horses or chewing the grass on the ground, or snorting to watch the children who slipped ashore with ashes.

After staying on the boat for more than 20 days before coming ashore, the children were a little dizzy, walking, pushing, dragging, looking around, their faces full of curiosity.

Zhang Xing followed behind the stones, and saw that there were still mountains on all sides, and the boat docked here was just a few long wooden planks to put together a simple dock, and a path led to here from the depths of the greenery, and there were many dead branches and leaves on both sides of the path, and there was a smell of tree decay in the air—at first glance, it was a deserted place.

The deeper the uneasiness in her heart, she subconsciously rubbed her left hand against her body, and the hardness of the wood made the uneasiness in her heart slightly lessen.

"Get in the car, get in the car. Zhu Ye's entourage Ah Si shouted.

Zhang Xing followed the stone to a carriage and saw that Zhu Ye and the others had already mounted the horse one after another. After the stone went up, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Xing up, and the two sat side by side. The carriage had no windows, and the curtains were tightly sealed, and when you sat in the carriage, you could not see anything clearly. Seeing that no one was in charge, the thin monkeys began to play again.

The stone looked through the cracks in the corners of the carriage, and finally found an eye at the corner of the carriage, and he poked the small crack a little wider with his fingers, and looked at it for a long time.

Zhang Xing waited until the stone turned his head, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Where are you?"

The stone frowned, shook his head, and said, "I can't see it." ”

Zhang Xing himself leaned over to look, and the small holes in the square circle were either trees of different thicknesses or strange rocky cliffs. The carriage was clearly still circling in the mountains.

The thin monkey saw the two of them watching the old man for a long time, thinking that there was something new, and he also squeezed over to see, as soon as he moved, those boys who couldn't be quiet came over, you squeeze me, I pull yours, you have to see.

Zhang Xing and Shi two gave up their positions, and were silent for a while. After a long while, Shi Chi asked, "Xing'er, where is Zhu Ye going to get us?" Zhang Xing shook his head.

I don't know how long the road lasted, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the dozen or so children who were laughing and playing in the carriage were unexpectedly huddled together. The stone grabbed the pillar of the carriage with his quick eyes, but did not rush into the crowd. Zhang Xing was by his side, he was caught, and he didn't go over to join in the fun.

When the children held their heads and shouted to get up, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open, and the expressionless face of Zhu Ye's entourage Ah Si appeared next to the curtain, glanced at the children in the car, and said, "Get off the car." ”

The children in the carriage came down one by one, in front of everyone was a mountain courtyard built by the mountain, the wooden lintel of the courtyard door was written with several big characters of "Lihu Mountain Courtyard", the word may be some years, the first "Li" word varnish fell off most of it, only vaguely had a glyph. The doorpost was also mottled, corresponding to the messy fallen leaves and branches on the ground, looking dilapidated and desolate. Entering the courtyard gate, it is a stone staircase that leads straight up, the strange stones and trees on both sides are scattered, and the stone steps are secluded in it, extending into a quiet place.

Seeing no one to greet him, Zhu Ye led a group of children along the stone steps to the top, and then turned to the mountain road, and walked around for a while before coming to the door of a courtyard. At this time, a few people came out, leading the horses and leading the people, although there were many people, but they performed their own responsibilities, and there was no trace of chaos.

Zhang Xing and the others were led into the courtyard and divided into several houses to live in. The room was empty, and there was nothing but a few tables and chairs with paint off. The big guy first took a boat, then a car, and then walked a long mountain road, and he was already tired. Normally, someone brought water at this time, but no one paid attention to them that day. Shi and a few others were starving, but the door was closed again, and the thin monkey's voice was hoarse, and no one came.

Everyone gradually got tired, or leaned against the wall, or spread out on the spot.

The sky is getting dark, the mountains and the moon are clear, shining through the window, and the shadows on the ground are mottled. The thin monkey tilted his head, touched his stomach and asked weakly, "Stone, do you think they will forget us?"

Sitting against the wall, Stone with a stick of dead grass in his mouth, shook his head, and said, "No." "There are so many of them, as long as they don't mean to, how can they ignore them.

Zhang Xing sat next to him, half of the moonlight sprinkled on her face, glowing with a warm luster like white porcelain, and the other half of her face was in the dark, with her forehead and hair in a bun, and her eyes were dark and deep. She had been sitting still like this for a long time. Afraid that she would be uneasy, the stone kidnapped her and whispered, "Don't worry, they will definitely bring food in a while." ”

However, the stone was wrong this time, and as the night passed and dawn came, not a single footstep could be heard outside their door. The skinny monkeys were stunned, and they couldn't even hum anymore. Zhang Xing curled up and slept all night, shaving her hair with her hands. She hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and her face seemed to be smaller again.

The stone couldn't help it, and as soon as he jumped up, he carefully examined every corner of the house, especially the doors and windows, but the door was locked from the outside, and he didn't open it for a long time. Although the window paper is easy to pierce, there are iron bars on the outside, and even a hand cannot be stretched out between the two iron bars.

He moved the tables and chairs in the room to the middle, set up a high platform, and wanted to go up to the roof, but it was enough for a long time, and his hand didn't even touch the roof beams above.

The thin monkey was kicked up by the stones, and stood on the table and stacked an arhat, which had long been rotten, how could it hold the weight of two or three and a half children? Wobbly, swaying, the thin monkey saw the opportunity early, and jumped down with the stone before the table was about to collapse, otherwise the two of them were afraid that they would break their arms and legs.

After trying all the methods, the stone still couldn't get out of the house, he was so annoyed that he kicked the broken table far away, and sat down next to Zhang Xing against the wall
