Small boats float on the water. Zhuying sat at the stern of the boat, and Tong Xiaoyao sat at the bow of the boat. Tong Xiaoyao paddled the oars gently, and although the boat was unstable, it still floated towards the center of the lake.

The surface of the lake is clear, and the visibility is two or three meters. Occasionally, fish of various shapes can be seen swimming in the water. The wind blows in the mountains, and ripples ripple on the water. Zhuying put his hand into the water, snorted, retracted his hand, shouted that it was cold, and shook his hand at Tong Xiaoyao at the same time.

Tong Xiaoyao tilted his head, dodged the water droplets that bounced from the bamboo shadow, and said, "Little Daogu, don't make trouble, beware of capsizing and falling you into the water." ”

"With you, I'm not afraid." Zhuying also learned from Tong Xiaoyao, tilted his head, and said innocently.

"It's a pity, I can't swim, if there are other people in the Taoist temple, it would be fine." Tong Xiaoyao sighed.

Tong Xiaoyao's words seem to be unintentional, but in fact, this is a purposeful speech, intended to set out the words of the bamboo shadow, to know how many people are in the Taoist temple, from satisfying your curiosity.

Unexpectedly, Zhuying grinned and said, "Don't be smart, I won't tell you the secrets you want to know, unless you tell you interesting things in your red dust." ”

"Listen to your tone, you haven't been to the downtown yet?" Tong Xiaoyao asked with a smile.

Zhuying sighed and said, "No, since I can remember, I have only been active in Taoist temples, and I have never gone out, and I don't know how to get out." ”

Tong Xiaoyao deliberately pursed his lips, pretending to be disbelieving, and said: "Full of lies, who believes it, look at the shoes you wear on your feet, and other supplies on your body, they must have been bought from outside, if you don't go out, will these things fly in automatically." ”

Zhu Ying raised his feet and looked at his shoes, and said with a smile: "The little donor has good eyesight, he can't hide anything from your eyes, you are right, these things are indeed bought from outside, but the only person who buys things is the Taoist chief." We have a total of more than ten people here, and we have never gone out alone, no, there is one person who has gone out, but before we can go to the downtown area, we were arrested by Dao Gu, and now we are still locked up in the cave, it has been more than two years, and it is really pitiful to think about. Don't talk about that, little donor, can you tell me that the people outside look like us, how they live, what they eat, what they wear, and what they usually do......

Tong Xiaoyao noticed that when Zhuying spoke, she looked extremely cute and her attitude was extremely serious, not like she was pretending, and she thought that what she said was the truth, so she interrupted her words without waiting for Zhuying to finish speaking, and said: "Xiaodaogu, it seems that you really haven't gone out, I don't think you need to answer the first question, I am the person you said outside, do I look the same as you, don't you just compare it, do you still need to say it?" ”

"No, you're a boy, and we don't have any men here, so I can't compare." Bamboo Shadow said without scruples.

"Oh, I see."

"Then you don't tell me if the women out there look like us, whether they are beautiful or I am prettier."

Tong Xiaoyao has always wanted to shoot Bamboo Shadow's fart, and the question raised by Bamboo Shadow just gave Tong Xiaoyao a chance, Tong Xiaoyao said happily: "Of course you are more beautiful, you Taoist aunts, live in the mountains all year round, breathe fresh air, eat wild and unpolluted vegetables and grains, and fish are also grown in a natural state, so you look white and clean, and your complexion is no longer good, in other words, you are a stunning beauty." ”

"Really, is what the little donor said true?" Takekage asked happily.

"Of course it's true, on your territory, how dare I lie, I also want to tell you, a beautiful woman like you, if you are in the downtown area, there will definitely be many boys who like you."

"Shh Zhuying put his finger to his lips again, looked around, and said mysteriously: "Be quiet, you can say anything in the Taoist temple, but you can't say you like two words." ”

"Why?" Tong Xiaoyao asked in a low voice.

"The Zhulan who was locked up was locked up because she couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to escape from the Taoist temple."

"It's so serious, don't you say it, I'm almost making a mistake, but I'm not afraid, I'm a person in the red dust, I have committed a taboo, at most I will be expelled, and the Taoist chief will not lock me up." Tong Xiaoyao said proudly.

Zhulan nodded, shook her head again, and said, "Then you can't just say it, the Taoist chief doesn't care about you, but you said this to me, she will lock me up, I don't want to be locked up in a cave." ”

Tong Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of the beautiful little Dao Gu, I won't talk nonsense, don't you want to know the situation in the downtown area, I'll tell you now." ”

"Okay, okay, you hurry up." Bamboo Shadow clapped his hands and said happily.

Spit out a lot of words from Tong Xiaoyao's mouth, buses, roads, cars, skirts, supermarkets, schools, etc., etc., every time a word is spoken, it will arouse Zhuying's curiosity, and in turn ask Tong Xiaoyao a lot of questions, Tong Xiaoyao answers them one by one.

Tong Xiaoyao told Zhuying everything he knew, and didn't stop asking questions until Zhuying was satisfied.

"The society is so big, there are so many strange things, I have said everything that should be said, and now I also want to know some things in the Taoist temple, I hope you can tell me." Tong Xiaoyao said sincerely.

"Just ask, I'll tell you everything I know, so it's fair." Bamboo Shadow said happily.

Tong Xiaoyao began to ask questions, and Zhu Ying answered them one by one. In one question and one answer, Tong Xiaoyao learned that the Lotus Taoist Temple was established in the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, a general surnamed Mo was framed by traitors and wanted to be beheaded by the emperor, and someone in the court told the Mo family's family in advance, so the housekeeper escaped from Chang'an overnight with a group of men and women. After the court learned the news, they sent their minions to chase and kill, and the men of the Mo family fought to the death with the men and horses of the court in order to protect the women, and in the end they were the only ones who survived, and all of them were killed. The housekeeper brought the women of the Mo family into Lingshan, and since then she has been incognito, self-reliant, and has never left this place.

"Now that all the men are dead, how do those who remain multiply?" Tong Xiaoyao asked.

Bamboo Shadow looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and said shyly: "I can tell you the rest, but this is me...... I don't know, and I can't say if I know. ”

Bamboo Shadow's shy appearance stimulated Tong Xiaoyao's curiosity even more, but if Tong Xiaoyao continued to ask, Bamboo Shadow would definitely not tell him. Although Tong Xiaoyao is not as smart as Luo Yuhan, compared to ordinary people, his brain is quite flexible, what he wants to know is that he will try his best to get out of Zhuying's mouth, but he has to turn a corner, and he can't be too anxious.

The boat had rowed to the shore facing the lake, and the opposite shore was a cliff. The perennial erosion of the water erosion has eroded the cliff wall near the water surface into a depression, and the branches of the vines on the rock wall have been pulled down, turning the recessed space into a "water curtain hole". Under the deliberate manipulation of Tong Xiaoyao, the boat slowly sailed into the "Water Curtain Cave".

"Little donor, what are you doing rowing the boat to the bottom of the cliff, there are branches here, the light is not good, and the shade is deep, hurry up and row out." Takekage said as he pulled a rattan with his hand.

Tong Xiaoyao deliberately shivered and said, "It's too cold outside, go inside and hide." ”

The boat sailed into the cave, and the light gradually dimmed. In order to distract Zhuying's attention, Tong Xiaoyao deliberately said: "After I told you just now, we people in the red dust will fall in love when they reach the age of you and me." ”

"In love?" Zhuying asked curiously, "What kind of musical instrument is love, the Taoist can play the piano and the guzheng, but she hasn't said that there is such a musical instrument as love." ”

"Hahahaha-" Tong Xiaoyao laughed out loud without concealment.

"What are you laughing at, am I wrong?" Takekage asked with a frown.

"Love is not a musical instrument, it is an emotional exchange between men and women, falling in love is to exchange feelings, specific explanation, that is-" Tong Xiaoyao paused, searched his stomach for a long time, and then continued to explain, "Let's be specific, for example, boys and girls are at the age of you and me, about seventeen or eighteen years old, or younger, or older, one of them likes the other, and the other also likes this one, and the two like each other, that is, they start to fall in love." ”

"Oh, it turns out that this is falling in love, but what are you doing in love?" Takekage asked innocently.

Tong Xiaoyao habitually looked out, saw that there was no one near the lake, and whispered: "I said, you can't say outside, boys and girls are in love, talking, holding hands, hugging, kissing, ......"

"What is kissing?" Zhu Ying interrupted Tong Xiaoyao again and asked eagerly.

Tong Xiaoyao pointed to his mouth, and then pointed to Zhuying's mouth, and said in a slurred voice: "Kissing is two mouths together...... Hey, let's just say it, it's a kiss. ”

"Oh, it's amazing, but what about after falling in love?" Takekage asked reluctantly.

"After falling in love, you get married." Tong Xiaoyao explained.

"What do you mean to get married?"

Tong Xiaoyao thought to himself, this is really a Martian who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and he doesn't know anything. wanted to explain the specific meaning of marriage, but was afraid that Zhuying would tell other people, especially the Taoist, so he reminded: "I can tell you, but you must promise me that you can't tell anything I say to you today, including the Taoist." ”

"Say it, I promise."

"Marriage is the marriage of two people, specifically, two people form a family, work during the day, and sleep together at night."

Zhuying listened to Tong Xiaoyao's words, blushed, and said to herself: "It turns out that two people are getting married when they sleep together, but as far as I know, our Dao Aunt here and the people outside will come back after sleeping...... I will not say it, and you must assure me that what I say to you today cannot be said to anyone, especially the Taoist. ”
