On the way back, Du Xiqing didn't say a word. Du Wen thought that he knew what Du Xiqing was thinking, so he silently followed behind and didn't ask anything.

By the time the siblings returned home, Duran had already prepared a table of dishes and was waiting there. Du Xiqing could only throw the old man's words away for the time being, and then the family happily ate a delicious meal.

When Du Xiqing sat alone in the courtyard again, she frowned and thought.

The more Mo Yan thought about it, the more he felt that it was very similar to the ancestral treasure in his family. I still remember that when I was a child, I accidentally saw my father and mother looking at this inkstone, and I ran in curiously.

At this time, my father and mother told me that this ink inkstone is called Qingmo inkstone, which is an expert treasure passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the Du family. Du Xiqing liked this crystal black inkstone very much at that time, and her father and mother had no choice but to give it to Du Xiqing to play with for a month, and then took it back.

Therefore, I am afraid that there is no second person who knows the appearance of Qingmo Yan better than her. At this time, Du Xiqing was already sure that the Qingmo inkstone recorded in the secret history of the Du family must be the one inherited by his family.

It's just that why is it so strange that the ancestral Qingmo inkstone of my family is actually related to the secret history of the Du family here, it is really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year. It seems that when I go back in the future, I should carefully ask my father and mother how the Du family came from.

Thinking of this, Du Xiqing saw Du Lan clean up and come out in old clothes.

"Qing'er, eldest sister went to the mountains to pick up some firewood and came back, you just wait for me at home!" Duran said.

As soon as she heard that she was going to the mountains, Du Xiqing stood up suddenly, and then followed closely behind Du Lan.

"Eldest sister, I want to go too, I want to go too! I'm suffocated to death every day at home! Du Xiqing said hurriedly.

"But ......" Du Lan saw Du Xiqing's eagerness, and looked at her hesitantly.

As soon as Du Xiqing saw Du Lan like this, she knew what she was worried about, so Du Xiqing hurriedly promised: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely not run around this time." I'm so good, you just let me go! ”

After Du Xiqing's soft words, Du Lan finally agreed to take Du Xiqing to the mountains for a walk. But this time Du Lan thought that no matter what, he couldn't leave Du Xiqing too far, and he must take good care of his sister.

Following behind Du Lan, Du Xiqing was in a good mood. The mountain was not far behind their house, and the two sisters only used half a pillar of incense to reach the foot of the mountain.

Because everything is produced, there is a piece of greenery everywhere, and it is not easy to pick up some firewood this season. Almost all the ones on the side of the mountain have been picked up by the village, so the two sisters can only continue to walk into the mountain.

Because of the rugged mountain road, Du Lan has to take care of Du Xiqing while taking care of himself, so the speed of the two sisters is not fast. But fortunately, as he went deeper and deeper, he picked up more and more firewood in Duran's back basket.

Du Xiqing helped pick up firewood while looking around curiously.

"Eldest sister, you come to the mountains alone, and it is quiet all around. If you don't have me with you, don't you feel scared? Du Xiqing asked.

Duran wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and then said, "What is there to be afraid of!" Except for the flat terrain at the entrance, all the rest of our Pingyue Valley are mountains. Playing in the mountains, growing up in the mountains, and raising a family in the mountains. Our relationship with the mountain is strong, it's too late to love it, how can we be afraid! ”

Du Xiqing thinks about it, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water. Thinking about coming to this mountain, for the villagers of Pingyue Valley, it is already a relative-like store, where will they be afraid.

"But are there no beasts in this mountain? What if a beast comes out to hurt or eat someone? Du Xiqing still asked with some worry.

Du Lan looked at Du Xiqing with a smile, and then said, "It seems that you really forgot everything!" You must know that there are mountain guards in this mountain. The role of the mountain keeper is to prevent the beasts from approaching the Pingyue Valley. It's generally safe, but it's dangerous if you go further down the mountain. Most of the beasts were driven there! ”

"Mountain Keeper?" Du Xiqing was quite interested in such an industry that she had never heard of: "Do the mountain guards just drive away fierce beasts every day?" ”

"Of course not, the mountain guards have to inspect the situation in the mountains in addition to driving away the beasts. As the outermost inspectors of Pingyue Valley, they also took on the responsibility of guarding the cherished medicinal materials in the mountain. You must know that there are three treasures in Pingyue Valley, one is deer antler, but wild ginseng, and the other is mountain spring wine! This guardian of wild ginseng is the greatest responsibility of the mountain guard. Du Lan said carefully, explaining Du Xiqing's doubts.

"The Three Treasures of Pingyue Valley? I didn't expect that we still have such good things in our entire Pingyue Valley! It's just that wild ginseng and deer antler velvet have become a treasure, but how did this mountain spring wine become a treasure? Du Xiqing asked like a curious baby.

Speaking of this mountain spring wine, Du Lan suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, and then stood on the mountain and looked at a certain place in the Pingyue Valley under the mountain, and said with a trance: "Mountain spring wine is brewed from a spring in the mountain, because only this mountain spring in the entire Pingyue Valley can make such a delicious wine." Because of the small quantity and excellent taste, it naturally became one of the three treasures! ”

"I see, I said how can wine become a treasure, it turns out that it also has its peculiarities!" Du Xiqing suddenly realized.

Carefully glanced at Du Lan's expression, Du Xiqing always felt that there seemed to be something involved between her eldest sister and this mountain spring wine, right? Otherwise, the eldest sister would not have said that this mountain spring wine would look in a trance, as if her heart had flown to other places at this time.

Everyone will have their own little secrets! Du Xiqing didn't ask Duran. Because she knew that one day she would know what Duran was thinking, without asking.

After that, the sisters saw that it was getting late, so they sped up the speed of collecting firewood. Just after a pile of firewood had been neatly placed in the basket, the sisters planned to go home.

As soon as I got up, suddenly a gust of wind blew around. The fishy smell came all at once, almost making the sisters sick.

At this moment, Du Xiqing was spitting, and her ears moved, as if she heard the sound of something stepping on a branch not far away.

Suddenly, Du Xiqing, who heard it well, suddenly pulled Du Lan, and then hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, eldest sister!" There are a lot of beasts coming from behind, hurry up and run! ”

Du Lan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't hear what Du Xiqing was saying clearly. When Du Xiqing saw it, she turned around and ran back, first threw Du Lan's back basket on the belt, and then pulled Du Lan and ran down the mountain quickly.
