I don't know when, but the wind that had been howling all night had stopped.

The eyebrow moon on the horizon has been hanging persistently in the sky, leading Luo Shaojin all the way to the west. Even if the sky gradually gets brighter, it only becomes lighter and thinner, and it doesn't seem to have any intention of disappearing at all.

As long as Luo Shaojin raised her head, she could always search for it in her field of vision, which made her feel a little more settled, but it also made her wonder where she had gone?

The horses were so tired that they foamed, and the men were so tired that their bodies seemed to be filled with lead.

The air is thin and damp.

Luo Shaojin led the horse, dragged his tired body, and climbed a mountain beam, panting for breath while looking ahead.

At this moment, the twilight was still half mixed with the night, and the mountain path at his feet, stretched out in the hazy mist, passed through a shallow valley, and climbed a low hillside with sparse bamboo and wood.

I saw that eyebrow moon reappeared behind the sparse row of trees on the slope, firmly embedded above the ridges of a cluster of people's roofs. In the light gauzy mist, it has become extremely thin and light, and if you don't pay attention, you can't find it.

"Savage, I'm so sleepy, I'm sleepy......" The girl who was lying on her stomach immediately behind her muttered again half-asleep and half-awake. There were bumps along the way, and in order to prevent the girl from falling off the horse, Luo Shaojin had tied her with a rope.

"It's dawn, baby. Are you hungry? Luo Shaojin called softly, turned back to the saddle, and untied the rope from her body while caressing the girl's back.

"I'm ......hungry," the girl who was immediately tied up glared in confusion and murmured, "I'm thirsty, thirsty, savage......" (1)

"Okay, then wake up, don't sleep. We went to the house of the person in front of us and went to find tea to eat. ”

The rope was untied, and the girl on horseback rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up.

Looking back at the road, I saw the forest and the forest, the mountains were far away, there was no hoof, and there was no chaser.

Luo Shaojin plucked the flower mechanism, threw it in reverse, hung it behind the shoulder blade, walked to the front, reached out and stroked the horse's mane, patted the horse's cheek, and then led the horse along the mountain road.

There was a mist in the valley, and all kinds of early birds chirped in the valley. The branches and leaves of the grass and trees on both sides of the mountain road are stained with large dew, which is crystal clear and very eye-catching.

"Oh, it's fun." The girl on the horse reached out to hold the dew on the grass and trees by the roadside, and suddenly rejoiced.

Luo Shaojin turned around when she heard the sound, and saw that this girl was cute with a naughty meaning, Rao was on the run, and she still couldn't help but have a pear vortex on her face, and reminded softly: "Be careful, some grass leaves have barbs on them." ”

"No, you're a liar."

"Be careful, anyway. If you don't cut your hands, you will get your sleeves wet, and if you don't dry for a while, you will easily get a cold. ”

"Uh, okay then. I won't do it. ”

As the aunt and nephew talked, they walked along the mountain road, walked into the valley, and went up to the low slope forest, and saw an old man with a basket on his back on the side of the road, who was picking up dog feces on the side of the road with a bamboo clip.

The old man noticed that someone was coming on the road, and when he looked up, he had a simple expression on his weather-beaten face.

"Good morning, old man. How to go from the front to Longquan County? Luo Shaojin, who was running around all night, suddenly saw someone, and his heart couldn't help but relax.

"Oh, oh...... Early...... Early! Seeing that Luo Shaojin's people were coming quite quickly, the old man hurriedly avoided the side of the road, nodded and smiled.

Seeing that Luo Shaojin stopped, the old man was busy avoiding the side a little, and the whole person was next to the fence, and nodded in a panic: "Oh, oh, oh, good, good...... I pick up fertilizer, hehe, pick up fertilizer. As he spoke, he raised the bamboo clip in his hand slightly.

Luo Shaojin was a little strange and looked at the old man, and at this time, a woman's voice came from behind the bamboo fence in front of him:

"Hey, girl, don't ask him if you ask for directions. He is a deaf ancient and ignores all questions. ”

"Oh, it turns out that this old man is a little behind his ears." Luo Shaojin led the horse and walked forward. The village road was crooked, the hedgerows were sparse, and I saw a few thatched huts nested on the side of the road, and the woman was washing vegetables in front of the water urn in front of the kitchen.

The people in the mountains are also quite ingenious, using sections of bamboo slips to connect with each other, leading water from the mountains to the front of the house, which is like the tap water in Nanjing, Shanghai and other cities.

Luo Shaojin sighed in his heart and asked softly:

"This sister, how should I go from the front to Longquan County?"

"Girl, are you from Jiangxi? The closest to Longquan County is ......" The woman smiled heartily, floated the vegetables in the wooden pot, scooped them up with both hands, raised her head, and looked at Luo Shaojian, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and the unfinished words in her mouth were also stubbornly stopped.

Only then did Luo Shaojin understand that he had been running around all night, and he must have been unkempt and dirty, so he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and wiped his head and face, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sister, can you borrow a basin of water and wash your face?" Sister? ”

"Oh, good, good." The woman finally came back to her senses, nodded again and again, panicked and put the vegetables in her hand on the stone next to her, and with a bang, poured the water in the basin, held the scoop, drew water from the urn, wiped and wiped the wooden basin with her hands and feet, rubbed and rubbed, and after a while, she felt satisfied, and then took two scoops of water, and then respectfully brought the wooden basin to a wooden shelf, retracted her hands, shook it, and asked Luo Shaojin to wash her hands with a smile.

Luo Shaojin knew that the people in the mountains were simple and hospitable, and he didn't care at the moment, so he thanked him first, and then hugged the girl from the horse, and the aunt and nephew took the water in the basin, washed their hands and faces, and wiped the dust on their bodies. begged for tea and drank horses.

In the process, out of politeness, Luo Shaojin chatted with the woman and asked about her family.

The woman said that the summer harvest was about to come, and the man took the child to the field early in the morning to dig a ditch and release water, and the old man in the village gave the land to her family, and she must be served, otherwise she would not be able to do it next year.

At last, the woman said shyly that if she didn't dislike the bitter bibimbap, she would stay and eat whatever she wanted.

Luo Shaojin tasted that kind of bitter Cambodian bibimbap, saying that it was rice, but in fact, there were not a few grains of rice, rolling out two sweet potatoes, mixed with a large number of bitter Cambodian vegetables, it was extremely difficult to swallow. It is possible to resist hunger, but after eating too much, people's faces are blue.

She was worried that she would be hungry, but she thought that the town was not far ahead, and she was in a hurry to leave, so she politely declined.

Seeing that she did not want to stay and eat, the woman's face became even more ashamed, and she showed her the way.

At this time, the sky is still not bright, but the houses in the village are already smoking, the fields are vast, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking is heard. A little farther away, there are herds of cattle and sheep wandering on the hillside, the cattle and sheep are white, the trees are green and the mountains are green, and the whistle of the shepherd boy is melodious.

When the villagers along the road saw them, they all looked at them in amazement, and their faces were full of surprise when they saw people and horses. From time to time she ran into an acquaintance or two, the woman strode and greeted heartily, and sometimes scolded the barking wild dog.

Out of the village. The parting woman pointed to the front, saying that she had been walking, about ten miles of road, there was a flying fox town, after crossing the stone bridge at the west end of the town, turning left, it was the road to Longquan County.

Luo Shaojin was in a hurry, and when he saw that the horse had rested after drinking water, his expression had recovered a little, so he turned over and got on the horse and galloped towards Flying Fox Town.

Seeing Luo Shaojin disappear on the mountain road, the woman's face was stunned.

It took a long time to come back to his senses, and he hurried back to the village.

At the mouth of the small river at the mouth of the village, where the winding water reflected the hedged trees, several women were washing clothes, and when they saw her, they asked her where the relative she had just come from, and the woman looked left and right, and replied in surprise:

"Oh, I want to have relatives like that, it's fine. It's not my relative, it's a passerby, do you know which one I encountered? ”

"Which one?" Several women asked in surprise.

"Pretty Feiyan, I've seen Pretty Feiyan." The woman was so excited that she almost danced with her hands.

"Haha, she asked me for directions at the door of my stove room, and she also fetched water, washed her face and drank horses, and talked to me for a long time...... I'm almost going to eat at my house. Ouch, it's better to be famous than to meet, leading a horse with a gun on his back, that skill is more clever than the martial arts on the stage, and the person looks like Chang'e in the Moon Palace, ouch, good-looking, good-looking, really good-looking. ”

"Pretty Feiyan? The famous pretty swallow? ”

The women who were washing the clothes stopped what they were doing, their eyes widened, and they didn't even notice that their clothes were floating down the water.

The colorful clothes floated down the water, startling a flock of foraging ducks, flapping their wings, trampling on the water, and croaking away.
