The place where Peng Changqing took Liu Ai and Zhang Pengzu to come is Fuli Palace, which is full of plants, including calamus, mountain ginger, sweet banana, Liuqiuzi, cinnamon, honey fragrance, henna, longan, lychee, betel nut, olive, chitose, citrus and other subtropical crops, which was very rare at that time, of course, it costs a lot to raise plants, so there are many craftsmen living here, and it is still a rest center for the guards of Shanglin Yuan, which is why Peng guards sent things over.

So the two teenagers held hands and walked to the field behind the Fuli Palace, where there were many towering trees, including poplars, cypresses, and pines, dense and towering into the clouds, and of course the most striking was the willow trees on the side of the Bahe River.

Spring is coming to an end, and summer is coming, when the leaves of the willow trees turn dark green, and the leaves become longer, long, thin, like patches of dark green darts. There are also many small wickers on top of each other, and the small wicker grows on the big wicker, and the big wicker is like a warm and kind mother protecting its children - the little wicker. There were also many green leaves growing on the tender green branches, so many tan branches, so many green leaves falling vertically, sealing the willow tree so tightly that even the wind could not penetrate it, as if even ants could not climb over, as if it were a big umbrella, covering the land below.

The two walked along the winding path to the wilderness, only to see a peach blossom forest by the river, the peach blossoms have bloomed a lot, the spring breeze blows the peach blossoms, and the bursts of aroma are blowing in the face, which makes people refreshed and comfortable.

Looking at the whole peach blossom, Liu Yi suddenly remembered a poem, so he chanted: "The peach is dying, scorching its flower, the son is returning, and it is suitable for his room; The peach is dying, there is a fern, the son is home, and the family room is ......"

At this time, Zhang Pengzu also chanted: "The peach is dying, and its leaves are verdant, and the son is home, and it is suitable for his family." ”

"I know that this poem began to write about the scenery of peach blossoms in full bloom, but the son is home, and I can't figure it out if there are two sentences in his room; When I was in Boji Hospital, Ping Junmei once asked me what I meant, and I also asked Uncle Gongsun, but he said that I would know when I grew up; Later, when I came to Yeting, I thought I had grown up, but I still couldn't figure it out, so I asked Mr., and he also said that I would know when I grew up, Peng Zu, do you know what it means? ”

Seeing that Liu Yi had asked him seriously, Zhang Pengzu couldn't figure it out, so he could only shake his head and say with a smile: "You can't figure it out, how do I know, you have been talking about Boji Medical Center all day long, Uncle Gongsun." Auntie, and often mention Sister Pingjun, isn't it very good for you, when will you take me to meet them? ”

"Okay, next time I will take you to the Boji Medical Center, but I have to ask Uncle Zhang to agree."

"That is, the uncle doesn't agree with how dare we leave the palace."

It seems that they are still a little afraid of Zhang He, which also shows that Zhang He usually disciplines them quite strictly. At this time, Liu Yi had already looked at the short sword in his hand and Zhang Pengzu's short sword, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and then pursed his lips and said: "Seeing these two short swords, it reminds me that Uncle Gongsun bought two wooden swords for me, and told me the story of male and female swords, have you heard of the story of male and female swords?" ”

Zhang Pengzu nodded and said: "I know this, the male and female swords are the cadre sword and the Mo evil sword, I heard my eldest brother talk about it when I was a child, but I don't know where the male and female swords are now?" ”

"Before I went to Yeting, my uncle and aunt took me and Pingjunmei to Hongguyuan in Du County to play, it was also such a season, in Nanyuan, Uncle Gongsun told me the story of the male and female swords, and at that time he said that the male and female swords were hidden in the stones under the pine trees, and I and Pingjunmei went to look for them, but we couldn't find anything."

Hearing that Liu Yi had mentioned Hongguyuan, Zhang Pengzu hurriedly said loudly: "Duxian Hongguyuan, you have been to Hongguyuan, it is my hometown, and my aunt and niece have always lived there." ”

For the first time, Liu Ai heard Zhang Pengzu talk about their hometown, so he asked, "Is the eldest aunt Uncle Zhang's wife?" ”

Zhang Pengzu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Then why do you still have a niece?"

"Uncle originally had a son, that is, my cousin, he has a daughter, named Yanran, that is my niece, the next time I see her, I will introduce her to you, she is two years younger than us."

"Then your cousin should be very big."

"Yes, it's a pity that I passed away for many years, and my father saw that my uncle had no other children, so he passed me on to him."

"I see."

Liu Yi had finally figured it out, but Zhang Pengzu was thoughtful, and said after a while: "I haven't been back to Hongguyuan's hometown for several years since I entered the court, and I want to find an opportunity to tell my uncle and take you back to my hometown to see." ”

"Okay, I also want to go to the bottom of the stone under the pine tree in Hongguyuan to continue to look for the male and female swords, I promised Sister Pingjun that I must help her find it."

"Okay, I'll help you find it."

The two teenagers chatted while admiring the spring scenery, and when they walked to the Bahe River, a whole row of willow trees came into view. But the willow tree at the top of the queue is tall and straight, but it has no willow silk, which is not very harmonious with other lush green willows.

"Why is there so few willow leaves in this willow tree, is it sick?"

Listening to Zhang Pengzu's curious question, Liu Yi was already busy saying: "This willow tree must be too old, it is going to die, but the trunk is still quite thick and tall, Peng Zu, have you seen that the willow tree in this row is the tallest." ”

Zhang Pengzu nodded and said: "It's a lot taller than the others, I guess they are all the grandparents of this row of willows." ”

"Grandparents, haha, Peng Zu, you really know how to make analogies, you laugh at me to death."

Looking at Liu Ai, who was smiling happily, Zhang Pengzu suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly said: "You see, there are many insects in the trunk, and half of the main trunk has been eaten by insects." ”

Liu Yi was busy looking closer, only to see that the trunk of the willow tree was about as tall as him from the ground, and it was eaten off by moths, looking at the towering trunk, he sighed and said: "It's a pity, such a tall willow tree is almost eaten down by such a small moth." ”

Zhang Pengzu looked at Liu Ai's thoughtful appearance, and said with a smile: "Sick, don't you usually say that you are very good at climbing trees, how dare you climb up." ”

"Who said wouldn't dare." Looking at Zhang Pengzu's bad look, Liu Yi, who was more and more courageous under pressure, responded proudly, of course, looking at the willow tree that had been mothed more than half and the trunk was still towering into the sky, he was indeed a little panicked in his heart.

"If you dare, you can climb up."

Zhang Pengzu, this kid, was still smiling, and his expression showed that he didn't seem to be optimistic about Liu Yi and dared to climb up.
