Yuan Bao took Ling'er to the guest room and put her things, and then happily pulled her out and ran out: "Little stone, go, I'll take you to a fun place!" ”

The two children shuttled hand in hand between the trestle bridges, every time they saw a person, the ingots were warmly greeted, and then Ling'er was pushed out to introduce, such as: "Sanwa, this is to see the tiger was killed, and take Uncle Ming to find a small stone of tiger meat, don't look at his young age, more courage than you, you have to learn from other people's small stones!" ”

As soon as Yuanbao's words came out, the children naturally worshipped her, and they didn't go far, followed by several children, chattering and asking questions, as if worshipping her as an idol!

Ling'er was perfunctory, embarrassed in her heart, remembering that her legs trembled with fright when she crossed the mountain stream wooden bridge before, Yuan Bao held herself so high, shouldn't you show your stuffing when you go out in the future? It's a shame to be home then!

Seeing that there are more and more children following behind, Ling'er doesn't remember any except ingots, such a commotion is too attention-grabbing, it's really not good! Be low-key, be low-key! So she made an excuse to pull Yuan Bao aside and whispered, "Brother Yuan Bao, didn't you say you were going to take me to a fun place?" With so many people, it's not easy to go, right? ”

Yuan Bao thought for a moment, "Well, too! You're waiting! ”

Yuan Bao turned around and waved his hand to the children: "Listen to me, I have something to do with Xiaoshi now, and I will go to the square to participate in the assembly in the evening. ”

Yuan Bao said hello a few times, and the children really ran in different directions yelling, and after a while, there was no one left! Ling'er complimented at the right time: "Brother Yuanbao is really amazing, everyone listens to you!" ”

"Hehe, of course, I'm the future village chief!" Yuan Bao is quite small-chested, and it is a matter of course.

Ling'er smiled secretly in her heart, it was really a child, "Brother Yuanbao, where is the fun place you said?" ”

"Oh! You come with me! Yuan Bao pulled Ling'er along the trestle bridge to the head of the village, and a large open space suddenly appeared in front of him. The clearing is neatly divided into small plots, each of which is dug and ridged, on which are planted with a variety of vegetables, but a few meters from the outer edge of the vegetable field are thousands of cliffs! Ling'er was very surprised, she didn't expect that there would be such a vegetable field in the vast mountains!

"Brother Yuanbao, are all the dishes you eat grown here?"

"Yes! What's so strange about that? Don't all of you have farming at the foot of the mountain? ”

Ling'er smiled awkwardly: "I heard Uncle Daming say that the people in your village all make a living by hunting and collecting medicine, I thought you wouldn't be able to farm!" ”

"Little stone, you underestimate us too much, what's so difficult about farming? We can all plant herbs, which is much more troublesome than growing vegetables and food! It's a pity that we don't have many suitable places in the mountains for farming, and we can't grow rice and wheat, otherwise we wouldn't have to go down the mountain to deal with those crooks! ”

Ling'er snorted and said, "Brother Yuanbao, is this the fun place you said?" ”

"Of course not, this way, follow me!" Yuan Bao pulled her along the edge of the vegetable field to the end, seeing that there was a cliff in front of her, Ling'er was muttering in her heart, Yuan Bao stopped, looked around, and then suddenly lowered her body, and pulled Ling'er and whispered: "Little stone, squat, squat down!" ”

Ling'er didn't know why, so she looked around and quickly squatted down, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yuanbao, what do you want to do?" ”

"Shhhh Don't make a sound! Wait a minute! The two of them hid in the grass next to the vegetable patch and squatted for a while, and after making sure that no one was coming, Yuan Bao pulled her, gestured to her, and then crawled along the grass to the woods next to him.

After entering the woods and climbing in for more than ten meters, the surrounding light had dimmed, and Yuan Bao stood up and patted his clothes and said, "Okay, get up, little stone!" ”

Ling'er also stood up and patted her clothes to look around, and was suddenly at a loss, the forest looked foggy all around, and she couldn't tell the direction at all, as if she had entered a maze! Looking back carefully, if it weren't for the faint trail left by Fang Cai, it would not have been possible to identify the exit outside.

Ling'er was a little worried in her heart, what did this kid bring him here for? This deep mountain and old forest, foggy place is not suitable for games! She pulled Yuanbao's sleeve: "Brother Yuanbao, this place looks panicked, let's go back!" ”

"What are you afraid of, with me, rest assured!" Yuan Bao patted his chest with a proud look!

Yuan Bao looked at the same place for a long time, and then slowly walked to the nearby big trees, each tree had to be groped and carefully examined, as if looking for something, until he found the fifth tree, Yuan Bao was overjoyed: "There you have it, little stone, come here!" ”

Ling'er ran over: "What's the matter, Brother Yuanbao!" ”

"Let's go, let's go this way!" Yuan Bao pulled her around the big tree, walked slowly behind her, and every time she encountered a tree, Yuan Bao would stop and circle around the big tree twice, and only after confirmation would she move on to the next one. Ling'er was very curious: "Brother Yuanbao, what are you looking for in the tree?" Did you make a marker? ”

"Shh~~ This is a way for our ancestors to identify the direction, and we can't tell outsiders! Little Rock, this is the first time I've taken someone to that place, and you swear never to tell anyone! ”

Ling'er was surprised in her heart, seeing this kid's cautious attitude, believing that the place they were going to must be an extremely hidden and mysterious place, how long had this kid seen him, and he believed in himself so much? Ling'er was sincerely moved, and patted her chest and said: "Brother Yuanbao, don't worry, I swear never to tell the third person, otherwise I will be trapped in this forest for the rest of my life!" ”

Yuan Bao looked at her in surprise: "Little stone, my grandfather said that this kind of oath can't be made casually, and the mountain god can hear it!" ”

Ling'er waved her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I won't say it anyway, Brother Yuanbao, take me to your secret base, right?" ”

"Secret base? Well, that's a good name, okay, I'll call it the secret base in the future! Come on, this way, this way! ”

Yuan Bao took her forward a few hundred meters, and suddenly stood still: "Little stone, it's here!" ”

"Huh? There? ”

"Right in front, behind that tree!" The two of them rushed to the big tree, and when they turned the corner, Ling'er was suddenly stunned by the situation in front of them!

In front of you is a huge valley, about two or three hundred zhang deep, a gurgling stream at the bottom of the valley converges into a crystal clear small lake, the mountain flowers by the lake are splendid, purple and red, the breeze blows, the sweet fragrance of flowers diffuses, surrounds people, makes people's hearts shake, and they can't wait to fall into it for a lifetime and never come back, this is the paradise that people yearn for, right?

It's a pity that there is only a steep mountain wall under his feet, and there is a deep pool directly below, which can't go down at all, and this beautiful scenery has become an ornamental thing that can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be desecrated!

Ling'er stood in place for a long time, looked back at the ingot, and saw that he was also looking at the valley with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Hee-hee, this kid also likes beautiful scenery? Look at him like that! Forget it, don't bother him for now! Ling'er looked around, her eyes swept around the mountain wall, and she thought that she could find a way down!

Suddenly, her eyes must have stared at somewhere on the opposite mountain wall, motionless, and after a while, she rubbed her eyes and looked again, and! Oh my God, she read that right, there is a big ginseng plant on the opposite mountain wall, and from this distance and the size and shape of the ginseng, it is estimated that the ginseng is at least more than a thousand years old!

"Brother Yuanbao, look at it!" Ling'er suddenly jumped and jumped with the ingot, the ingots came to his senses and looked back at Ling'er: "What's the matter, little stone?" ”

"Look, look over there! On the opposite side of the mountain wall! ”

"Across the mountain wall? ......" Yuan Bao looked at it for a long time, still at a loss: "It's nothing, it's all stones!" ”

"How is that possible? Take a closer look! ”

"Oh, little stone, I've been here many times, I've seen it a long time ago, how can those stones on the other side look as good as those under the valley? Alas, if only I could go down and play for a while! ”

Ling'er wanted to tell him that there was a thousand-year-old ginseng opposite him, but she swallowed it back when the words came to her mouth, she looked at the ginseng, then looked at the bottom of the mountain, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Yuanbao, this place... Did your grandfather and the people in the village know? ”

"Grandpa knows, but no one else knows!"

"Huh? Your grandfather knows? He brought you here? He didn't find his way down? ”

"Shhhh I didn't bring it to my grandfather, I only heard it from my grandfather and found it secretly! How can such a deep valley go down and go down? My grandfather said don't look at the bottom of the valley to look good, there are poisonous insects and poisonous weeds everywhere, you see, those flowers are poisonous, and they will be poisoned when you touch them! ”

"Really? …… What a pity! ”

"By the way, little stone, don't tell anyone that we've been here, grandpa knows about it!"

"Okay, don't worry!"

The two of them stayed on the edge of the cliff for a while, and then groped their way back. Ling'er paid attention to the action of the ingots to identify the direction, in fact, there was no mark on each tree where he determined the direction, but if you pay more attention, you will find that the growth of the tree, the texture and even the tilt direction of the branches seem to have a certain regularity, could it be that this is the method left by the ancestors of Liangjia Village? When I go back, I must study and study it well, I wonder if this is considered stealing?

It took more than a quarter of an hour for the two to return to the vegetable field, and just in case, Yuanbao also deliberately took Ling'er to pull out a bunch of vegetables and bring them back. As soon as they entered the village, a child shouted loudly when they saw the two: "Brother Yuanbao, little stone, come and play in the square, the uncles have set up the fire, and they will make a fire to roast tiger meat later!" ”

Ling'er's face turned pale, do you really want to eat tiger meat? That stuff doesn't taste good, does it? What's more, it has been dead for more than a day and has been crawled by many insects......

Yuan Bao was very happy: "Okay, okay, it just so happens that we have pulled out so many dishes and mixed them in the soup to cook, but they are fragrant, let's go, little stone, let's go to the square now!" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you!" The child enthusiastically took the things, pulled Ling'er and ran wildly on the trestle for a while, and soon arrived at a small square of nearly 1,000 square meters. (To be continued.)
