As soon as she talked about the beast, Ah Hui became energetic and grimaced: "There are leopards in the garden!

Tianbao saw that Ah Hui was innocent and cute, and nodded and said, "I'm afraid." But in my heart, I thought that the monks in the grass hut were much more vicious than ordinary leopards. Thinking of Ah Hui's family's rescue, I feel that there are still many good people in the world.

After a while, Ah Yan came back with the wooden box, and Tianbao saw that the wooden box was jet black, and thought, what kind of wood is the wood?

Ah Hui reluctantly put the gourd into the wooden box and sighed: "You adults, I'm also afraid, I'm afraid, I don't want to be like this when I grow up." ”

At this moment, a black bird flew outside the window and stopped on the window lattice.

Ah Yan touched the bird's head, took out a note from its claws, opened it, looked at it, leaned closer to her mother, and said in her ear: "Granny Yu is very sick, it seems that she has been poisoned, and the black magpie brought back a letter written by Granny Yu herself from Tangting Mountain." ”

Ah Hui's ears were sharp: "The god of medicine is seriously ill? How can there be a poison in the world that she can't detoxify?" Sister, can you see clearly, it was written by Granny Yu herself?"

Madame Bai's face was displeased: "Ah Hui! What kind of style are you talking about? Girls should be knowledgeable and reasonable, and they should not say anything about their deeds." ”

Ah Hui stuck out her tongue.

Madame Bai saluted Tianbao: "Yuan Gongzi rest early." "I left in a hurry with my two daughters.

After the mother and daughter left, Tianbao stayed alone in the wooden house, closing his eyes and reminiscing about the smile of the girl named Ah Yan.

He saw a shining light outside the window, so he slowly got out of bed and walked to the window. The moon was shining brightly in the sky, and a mountain peak was towering into the clouds not far away. Halfway up the mountain, there are large areas of lights and manors. The place where he was a garden at the foot of the mountain, and there were a lot of plants in the garden, and those plants were endless, and I don't know how big this garden was. The faint fragrance of flowers wafts in with the night breeze, and it smells very pleasant.

There was a small pond by the window of the wooden house, in which various kinds of water lilies were planted, and at the bottom of the pond there was a stone as big as a chicken's egg, its color was like gold, and the light was soft, and the water of the pond was very bright, like a large mirror, which illuminated the garden near and far.

Tianbao didn't know what the shiny stone in the pool was, and stared at it in a daze. After sending the gourd to Qingqiu Mountain, he went back to the forest hut to collect the bones of his father and Brother Ma, and after sending them back to his hometown, he returned to Queshan. If you can't enter the village, you can build a hut at the foot of the mountain and stay, and when Miss Ayan goes in and out, she can always see it a few times. I felt that I was no longer looking for my mother, and it was very unfilial that the female corpse in the forest was very terrible, and I didn't know if there were any other demons and monsters, so I tossed and turned all night, and fell asleep in a daze at dawn.

After sleeping for two hours, Ah Hui led a lame old man with a wrinkled face, and Ah Hui solemnly handed the wooden box and two gold leaves to Tianbao.

"Brother Tianbao, this is a dumb uncle, he will send you out of the village. Out of the village, you will see a very big old peach tree," Ah Hui opened her arms and made an encirclement motion: "There is a black horse under the peach tree, you can call it Uncle Hei, Uncle Hei will take you to Qingqiu Mountain, and when you get to Qingqiu Mountain, you just let it come back by itself." You must not go up the mountain, keep going south, and you will be back to Jiangnan. My mother said, "You must never go back to that forest." Plus, the money is for you. Take the box, be careful not to break it. ”

Tianbao asked embarrassedly: "Dare to ask Miss Ah Hui, I was ...... Where's the clothes?"

"Your set of Taoist clothes? My mother said it was too dirty, so you should wear it now. ”

"Miss Ah Hui, can you take me to meet Ling Tang and Sister Ling, I want to thank them in person. ”

"They went out. Hui turned around and gestured to the mute slave.

The mute slave beckoned to Tempo, who had to follow him out of the cabin.

Outside the hut is a very large garden with a variety of plants, and you can't see the end of it. There were no beasts of prey as Madame White said, and flocks of small black birds flew in the sky, like magpies, but they didn't look like them.

I have never seen any of the plants grown in the garden. There is a plant like garlic, a long strip is drawn from the center of the leaf, the stem ends bloom, the flowers are white, the heart of the flower is orange-red, the fragrance is very fresh, the smell is invigorating. Ah Hui jumped over and picked one and handed it to Tianbao: "This is a persimmon flower, it is very delicious." You try. ”

Tianbao took over and ate the flower heart like Ah Hui, it was really sweet and indescribable, and the taste was wonderful.

There is also a kind of grass in the garden, which bears exactly the same fruit as a sparrow. There were two big trees on the side of the road, and the flowers on the trees bloomed one by one, and as soon as they opened, they immediately turned into butterflies and flew away.

Walking to the door, Ah Hui waved to Tianbao and said loudly, "I'll play here for a while, you can go by yourself." The one on the door is a doorguard, and people will shout and scold loudly when they pass by, don't be afraid, just cover your ears and hurry up!"

Tianbao reluctantly waved to Ah Hui. When passing through the door made of grass and trees, the doorguard grass really let out a deafening scolding sound, exactly the same as the human voice, even if he covered his ears, he was so frightened that Tianbao rolled and crawled.

Out of the garden, not far away is the lake, there is a boat by the lake, the dumb slave motioned to Tianbao to get on the boat, Tianbao looked back at the manor halfway up the mountainside, has been surrounded by clouds and mist, nowhere to be found.

On board, the dumb slave untied the rope and picked up the oar and rowed. Tianbao gestured and asked him if he wanted to help with the rowing, and the dumb slave shook his head. He pointed to his ears, which meant to hear, and opened his mouth, which was empty and had no tongue.

Tianbao was shocked and didn't dare to ask again. I thought to myself, it seems that this man is just speechless. His tongue was not born or was cut off later, and when he saw that his face was wrinkled, he shook his hand with pity.

The mute slave nodded and smiled. I probably understood the meaning of Tianbao.

After rowing for a while, when he reached the center of the lake, the boat suddenly turned slowly in a circle, and the dumb slave made a gesture to signal Tianbao to sit down, picked up the oar and knocked twice on the side of the boat.

Tianbao looked at the garden for the last time, and found that he had only scratched a few feet on the lake, and the garden and the manor had been covered by clouds and mist, and there was no trace of them.

The mute slave motioned for Tempo to grab the side of the boat, and before Tempo could figure out what was going on, the boat spun violently, and a large whirlpool was born under the water, sucking Tempo and the boat into it.

Tianbao screamed in fright, but as soon as he entered the water, the boat immediately stopped spinning, and slid smoothly in the middle of the whirlpool, and after a short while, the boat came out of the water, and it was already on the shore, and the clothes on Tianbao and the dumb slave were not wet at all.

Tianbao touched his arms, and the wooden box and gold leaves were still there. After thinking about it, he opened the wooden box and put the gourd in his arms, and carefully received the gold leaf into the box.

The shore of the lake is completely different from the scenery in the garden, it is the familiar scenery of Tianbao, bleak and cold, and the mountains look down on the earth indifferently. Sure enough, there was a very old peach tree on the shore, very ugly, and under the tree was tethered a skinny old black horse, which was not good-looking, and had white hair on its forehead, which grew to its mouth.

Tianbao went ashore, and the mute slave motioned for him to ride his horse, and immediately turned around. Tianbao saw the dumb slave leave, and all kinds of feelings in his heart, thinking back on the experience of the past few days, felt like a dream.

Tianbao went over to untie the horse's rope, and when he saw that it was skinny and skinny, he said to himself, I will crush it to death if I sit on it.

The old horse's eyes looked at Tianbao as if he could speak, and Tianbao touched its head: "Brother Ma, Uncle Hei, I haven't ridden a horse, can you slow down?"

The old horse actually blinked.

Tianbao saw that it could understand people's words, and thought to himself, it is right to understand, and if it can't understand, it is not the horse of the owner's family. Curiously, he asked, "How do you get into the village?" You can't take a boat, can you?"

The old horse looked at him and said nothing.

Tianbao had to get on the horse: "Then go to Qingqiu Mountain." The old horse ran away with his hooves, almost throwing Tianbao off his horse, and it turned out to be a galloping horse.
