Climbing the mountain with a stuffy head, Du Qimei and Du Jiumei were sweating profusely, but they didn't dare to take down the curtain fence.

Heng Jiu originally thought that after walking for half an hour, the two girls would not be able to stand it and would need to be carried by others. But after walking for an hour, the two young ladies still insisted, but the speed was a little slower than before.

Another hour passed, and by noon, we were halfway up the mountain.

Du Jiumei was so tired that she couldn't walk, her stomach was empty, and she said, "Uncle Hengjiu, can we have lunch?" Xiao Jiu'er is hungry! ”

"Okay, it's lunchtime, there's a few rocks in front of me, sit there and eat." Heng Jiu pointed to the front and said, took the lead in going over, spread a clean cloth, and let the two young ladies sit down.

The two sisters sat down, took a long breath of relief, drank a few sips of water, and suddenly felt refreshed!

When Heng Jiu was distributing dry food for lunch, Du Jiu Mei asked, "Uncle Heng Jiu, how could Grandpa build a Zhuangzi on the top of Jun Mountain?" It's so far, it's so high, it's not easy to go back and forth once. ”

The top of Junshan Mountain is so high, there must be no good scenery!

Heng Jiu smiled and explained: "The prince was poisoned back then, and in the summer, his whole body was cold; In winter, I get hot. On the contrary, the usual climate is not suitable for the prince to recuperate. Later, there was a wandering miracle doctor who told the prince to come and go to the top of Jun Mountain, and he could find a solution. ”

"What's the solution?" Du Jiumei asked eagerly, she seemed to have guessed that the beautiful grandfather had asked her to come here to recuperate. It's not just remote, it's absolutely amazing!

"We climbed to the top of the hill and found two caves. There is a pool in each of them. In the cave on the back side of the mountain, the water in the waterhole is cold to the bone, and when the prince is hot in winter, he can sit in it to dissipate heat; In the place on the sunny side of the mountain, the waterhole in the cave is boiling hot water, just for the prince to take a bath when his body is cold in summer. The prince soaked in such a waterhole for five years before he suppressed the toxins in his body, and at the same time, the prince's face began to change. Don't know if it's the cause of the body's toxins? Or is it because of the relationship between these two strange pools of water? Hengjiu replied. In order to make the prince live more comfortably. We built a Zhuangzi on the top of Jun Mountain to connect the two waterholes. ”

"This mountain is so high, the supplies are not good for exercise, what do we eat on weekdays?" Du Jiumei asked. "Are they all shipped up from below?"

One mentions daily necessities. Heng Jiu was more energetic and said: "In terms of eating." Don't worry at all. Even in winter, vegetables can be grown around the perimeter of the hot pool, as for meat. Hunt directly in the mountains, and you only need to transport the grain up. ”

"This place is so interesting and we can't wait to see it. Uncle Hengjiu, let's go. Du Qimei listened to Hengjiu's explanation, and was more eager than Du Jiumei, eager to go to the top of the mountain to see.

Heng Jiu saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he ordered everyone to walk again.

"Oops!" Du Qimei got up violently, her legs were sore, and she didn't want to move at all.

"What's wrong?" Heng Jiu asked nervously, the two girls in front of him were the hard-won juniors of the prince, and they couldn't let them lose anything.

Du Qimei shook her head and said, "It's okay, Uncle Hengjiu, I have leg cramps!" Just knead it. ”

"I'll help you, Seventh Sister!" Du Jiumei stepped forward and helped Du Qimei rub her legs, "Seventh sister, can you still go?" If you can't go, I'll let Uncle Heng Jiu, Uncle Heng Tenth send someone to carry you! ”

Du Qimei looked up at the high mountain, the road is very narrow, it is not suitable for carrying people at all, it is better for her to walk slowly by herself, shook her head and said: "No need, this road is not easy to carry people, I will walk by myself." Everyone is also tired from climbing the mountain, and I can't bother others. ”

Heng Jiu looked at Du Qimei, his heart was slightly sour, if he was replaced by another family girl, crying and shouting, fainting, he would not continue to climb, that is, the son of the family grew up in the countryside, more hard-working than ordinary family women, and had a kind heart.

Especially Lishu, I have a lot of respect for them. In fact, they are the subordinates of the Guangling Palace, but they never treat them as people, but call them uncles.

Du Qimei, Du Jiumei's physical strength is not as good as in the morning, but after the lunch break, she recovered a little. After an hour, rest again for a quarter of an hour. Stopping and stopping, we finally reached the top of the mountain just as the sun was about to set.

It was a little cold at the top of the mountain, and Heng Jiu reminded the maid to put on the two sisters in thicker clothes, so as not to be frozen.

Originally, I thought it was a Zhuangzi with a high walled compound, but when I got to the top of the mountain, I saw it and realized that this principle was an ordinary Zhuangzi that could not be ordinary. There are about two or three entrances, and I don't know how many houses there are.

Heng Jiu stepped forward and knocked on the door and said, "Master, master・・・・・・"

"Master?" Du Jiumei was surprised, "Uncle Hengjiu, is this master the one who taught you martial arts?" ”

"Yes, in this courtyard, the master lives in it with a few subordinates, and this is where the master spends his old age in peace." Heng Jiu replied, the master has worked hard all his life, and after saddling the horse for the prince, the prince did not treat the master badly, let him choose a place to care for the elderly, and the master chose this place.

"That's great!" Du Qimei said, "If you have time, find your grandfather and teach us a few tricks, maybe we can use it in the future!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Du Jiumei agreed, but thought in her heart, Seventh Sister, if you want to learn from you, I won't learn!

The two sisters were talking, only to hear a "squeak", the heavy wooden door was opened, a ten-year-old child, poked out his round head, saw that it was Hengjiu, and said crisply: "Uncle Nine, Uncle Ten, why are you here?" Oops, who are they? "Look at Du Qimei, Du Jiumei.

Heng Jiu touched the head of this ten-year-old boy and said with a smile: "Little stone, this is the granddaughter of the prince, the seventh girl, the ninth girl!" ”

The little boy called Xiaoshi, and when he heard it, he quickly knelt down and said: "Kowtow to the seventh girl, the ninth girl, everyone calls me Xiaoshi!" ”

Du Qimei stepped forward and pulled up the small stone, and said with a smile: "Little stone, hurry up, don't kneel in the future!" We are tired from climbing, can we take us in to rest? ”

Xiao Shi hurriedly nodded his head: "Okay, good, seven girls, nine girls, nine uncles, ten uncles, please come in!" ”

Entering the door, Heng Jiu asked, "Little stone, where is the master?"

"Shizu is cooking, I'll ask Shizu to cook more, otherwise there won't be enough to eat." Xiao Shi hurriedly said, counted how many people there were, and hurried to the kitchen in the backyard.

Actually, little stone, shouldn't you send us to the room to wash up first? Du Jiumei looked at the disappearing back of the little stone, smiled bitterly again and again, and slandered in her heart.

Fortunately, Uncle Heng Jiu was very familiar with this place, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take you to the room." "They are the masters, and they live in the courtyard of the upper room. (To be continued.) )
