The groggy Chu Yan woke up in a daze, his stomach rumbled twice, he lay in the carriage and didn't want to move, his right hand stretched out to the bamboo basket with difficulty, he didn't grasp anything for a long time, and turned his face to look at the bamboo basket with the pain in his neck.

"Eat... Target... Go... Which... up"

Chu Yan sat up with a swish, glaring at the back of the groom outside the carriage.

"I'm done."

The groom's voice was cold and emotionless, and the emotionless answer completely angered Chu Yan, who was wearing pigtails, whether it was tolerable or unbearable, Chu Yan kicked the groom's back with all his strength.

As if in foresight, the groom grabbed the calf with the thickness of the lotus root with one hand, and pulled it forward, Chu Yan's whole body was lifted upside down by the groom, the two little hands were still clenched and waved in fists, and the other foot kept kicking around in the air.

The enraged Chu Yan Lao Wang Ba stinked Wang Ba and scolded non-stop, seeing that the square-faced groom still didn't care about his own meaning, Chu Yan made a decision that he would never forget in his life.

A stream of warm water erupted from the open crotch of his pants, striking the groom's grim square face.

The carriage gradually stopped, and the groom wiped his face and chest, and there seemed to be a hint of anger on his cold square face. Chu Yan, who was left by the groom on the side of the dirt road, was triumphant.

"Driving~"

"Pap~Pap~Pap~"

The painful old horse reluctantly used his strength to graze, and opened his hooves and ran.

Seeing the pigtail that left without hesitation, Chu Yan, who originally looked like a winner, panicked in his heart, quickly looked at the barren surroundings, and a chill suddenly washed away the joy in his mind and became calm. Looking at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, he opened his legs and chased after it desperately.

"Don't leave me, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore. Wait for me~"

The groom in the carriage did not look behind him, whether he begged for mercy or cried or cursed. Deaf to a deaf ear, he took out a fat chicken leg from his arms, tore off half of it in one bite, and ate it with relish.

After a stick of incense, Chu Yan, who was physically exhausted, fainted on the potholed dirt road. The skin on the palms and knees was worn out, and the blood flowed. Feeling desperate in his heart, he braided and mixed with tears, and took one last look at the vanishing carriage. I felt dizzy in front of my eyes.

It's all darkness.

Maybe even Xiao Chuyan himself can't count how many roads he has run, huh...... It was forced to run for many miles, and the square-faced Wang Ba who sat motionless in the carriage was too cold-blooded.

It's just that Xiao Chuyan, who has a somewhat stubborn personality, has a mentality of becoming more and more courageous. Every time I faint after reaching the limit, I will basically grit my teeth in a deep dream and say, "If you can't run to death, my old Wang Ba is a turtle grandson."

Hearing this, the man in black with a cold face would always raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and in an instant, he quickly returned to his cold appearance.

What is the cloud dream of the Chu State, the man in black has never said, even if Chu Yan asked more than eight hundred sides.

Because, only when you see it and walk through it can you know what Yunmeng is like.

At this time, the carriage stopped on a winding mountain road, and the coachman sat on the carriage, and Chu Yan, who was standing on the carriage with the coachman's shoulders and feet, looked a little stupid.

In front of the carriage, there were endless sparkling waves, and the young Chu Yan didn't know how to describe the size of this body of water.

Because in the boundless waters, there are green hills of different sizes and uneven heights.

The small one is as big as Jiangxin Island in the big river, and the big one seems to be bigger than Mengshan.

For Chu Yan

Say, maybe this is the fairy secret realm in the story of the white-haired old man, will there be those strange goblins?

For example, a fierce demon who can turn people into stones at a glance?

The turquoise surface of the lake was shining, and a flat boat was drifting in the direction of the carriage.

The coachman patted the horse's ass, and the carriage slowly moved forward towards the soft sand by the water's edge.

When he was in Mengshan, Chu Yan only caught Wang Ba and turned over crabs in mountain streams, and small fish and shrimp in the cracks of stones were also common.

But on this vast and boundless lake, Chu Yan, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, was scared in his heart, the blue lake was bottomless, and the boat was fluttering as if it could turn over at any time.

After a while, Chu Yan, who was stepping on the soft sand and thinking about it, saw the bow of the ship not far from the shore approaching.

I always feel unsteady in my heart, as if something will happen, and cramped and uneasy fill my young mind.

The rower, also dressed in a black suit, jumped out of the boat and hugged his fist at the groom, who just nodded, then turned and got into the carriage. It was another rough hand with infinite strength that grabbed Chu Yan and boarded the boat towards the depths of the lake.

Although he was dissatisfied with all kinds of dissatisfaction along the way, he was forced to run by the groom for more than a month, and he fainted before half a column of incense at the beginning, and now it is not a problem to run for more than half an hour. Chu Yan knew that he was improving day by day, and he would work harder and run farther. It's much more interesting than being stuffy in the carriage all the time. And the silent struggle with the groom is also enjoyable.

The entire village, including his grandfather, was gone, and the only white-haired old cigarette stick he was familiar with was only one arm left, and the young Chu Yan knew what was going on, and the people in his heart were in the pile of ashes at the entrance of the village.

Along the way, Chu Yan slowly became cheerful and optimistic from the initial anger, sadness and panic.

It's not because little Chu Yan forgot his grief, but because he regarded the cold groom as the only relative besides the white-haired old man, Mengzi and the other five children. At least he knew that the groom was protecting him, and he could rely on the quieter groom.

The anxiety in his heart evolved into parting, and Chu Yan, who could no longer hold back his tears, cried loudly, just like a child who had left his father, heartbreaking.

The carriage turned and disappeared into the barren hills.

A boat as wide as Chu Yan swayed and glided on the calm lake.

The long pole in the black-clothed boatman's hand lay on the water and lay down layers of ripples, the water surface at the stern of the boat rippled, and Chu Yan, whose face was covered with tears, lay on the edge of the boat, stretched out his hand into the water, and felt the soft and delicate water of the slightly cool lake passing through his little hands.

The mood seemed to be better, Chu Yan looked at the black-clothed boatman, thin and tall, with a delicate appearance, a mouthful of teeth white and neat, and the sun would shine.

Wiping his tears, Chu Yan asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Pick up your boatman!"

"I didn't ask this, what do you call it?"

"Boatman."

"Boatman?"

"Hmm."

"Should the one who drove the carriage be called a groom?"

"Did you know? Didn't the groom tell you? ”

“...... Well, asked hundreds of times. ”

"It's not surprising... He doesn't have a good temper and is a bit cold. ”

"It's because my temper is not very good, and I just soaked in urine, so I left the carriage and ran away for more than a month."

"Oh? Started so soon? ”

"Start what?"

"Uh... Nothing, do you know how to swim? ”

"No, what's wrong."

Puff~

"Gollum~Gollum~I don't~Gollum~Knowingwater~Gollum~Help~"

The boatman, who was standing on the bow of the boat with his back to the sun, smiled slightly, showed his white teeth, looked at Chu Yan who was desperately splashing in the water, and said, "Don't speak, you can't sink if you hold your breath." ”

Chu Yan's head was blank when he kept throwing himself in the water and wanted to catch something, except for panic or panic, he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor when he heard the boatman's words, and he drank a lot of water and was about to sink, so he immediately closed his mouth and held his breath. The body immediately stopped sinking and floated smoothly.

Seeing that Chu Yan learned so fast, and his breathing and body were well controlled, the boatman put the end of the pole in a position next to Chu Yan and said: "Quick, hold your breath, control your body, kick your legs back, paddle your hands to both sides, grab the pole and I'll pull you up, don't feed the fish." ”

Seeing the only hope, Chu Yan tried a few times according to what the boatman said, and found that he could use his strength, not only was it unsinking, but it could also move, so he swam desperately in the direction of the pole.

It's just that the pole seems to be a little far away, or is it not moving at all? No matter how hard you swim, you can't catch it!

In front of the huge desire to survive, just like that, Chu Yan finally grabbed the pole before his physical strength was exhausted after swimming for a quarter of an hour.

Chu Yan, who was holding on to the pole, gasped violently, and looked around, it was no longer a place not far from the shore. That's when it dawned on me.

Broke open and scolded at the boatman: "You are also a bastard, the same as the old bastard, how old am I, you are such a big person, do you have any humanity to bully me in the other way?" Woo~"

As he spoke, Xiao Chuyan changed from scolding to crying, looking heartbroken.

Whoever sees such a big little kid crying like this will be unbearable, but it's a pity that this boatman is not much worse than the groom.

The white teeth flashed, and Chu Yan, who was clung to the pole, was thrown out by the boatman's connecting rod.

Puff~

Poor Chu Yan sank into the water and floated up quickly, swimming towards the boat full of anger.

And the boatman standing on the boat didn't look at Chu Yan, and gently swung the pole to row the wooden boat and moved forward slowly.

In the sparkling stern of the boat, a small man gritted his teeth and chased after him, splashing the water.

This situation and this scene correspond to the poem that circulated Yunmeng.

"The lake and autumn colors are combined, and the water surface is windless like a mirror.

Looking at the mountains and rivers of Yunmeng from afar, the water droplets in the jasper plate fall. ”

The sky and water are the same color, a good picture of Yunmeng landscape.

The island is dotted with clouds, and the waters are the deepest.

There are endless majestic green mountains, towering into the clouds.

The top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, and there seems to be a golden roof shining with golden light, and if you look closely, it is hazy and nothing is missing.

At the bottom of the hill where it meets the lake, there is a small pier.

The boatman had disembarked, fixed the boat, and sailed away.

It's just that on the wooden boat that is still slightly rippling on the water, there is a wet and motionless little man lying on his stomach. His skin was a little pale, his eyes were closed, his little face was soaked in water, and his pink lips opened and closed, blowing bubbles with the sound of tired breathing.
