"How?" She glanced at him and laughed. Touch. Then she looked away, but the girl on the rice stalk never thought that she had left a young and beautiful face in this deserted field at this moment.

He remembered the beauty of this moment, maybe he would never step in this field again in this life, but the riverside in the countryside behind this village was once a mysterious place in his childhood impression, in more than ten years, how many times he thought about it, and there may be a chance or a farewell in the future.

Zhu Jia couldn't help but laugh in a low voice when she looked at her, "Hurry up and go, classmate Tiantian." ”

She didn't pay attention to him, but walked straight ahead, she recognized the road, and a few steps further was where the old man who had picked the pomegranates of the two of them was standing.

"Go this way." Zhu Jia pointed to the other road on his left that was perpendicular to the road.

"This is not the intersection where the two of us just walked, and do you see a road here?"

The road directly in front of it was wrapped in a layer of grass more than ten centimeters thick, and there were traces of water buffalo walking over and pressing down on a piece. When she just looked to the left, she naturally avoided this place, and a depression thirty or forty meters long and wide was full of them. All sorts of crazy long. Wild., grass.

At the edge of the depression, a row of branches and leaves, tens of meters high, stretches out to the periphery. Between the foliage and the stalks on the edge of the depression below, perhaps the ravages of autumn and the occasional farmer. The weeds formed a withered strip, and she saw a few small patches of yellow, fluffy earth on the slope.

"Yes, you believe me."

In fact, when Zhu Jia returned to her, she had already seen the road, and this depression was hugely high on both sides. Strong. It was surrounded by a few dense rows of trees, and it was impossible to see what was on the other side of the tree.

The other two sides are also covered with shrubs at least a meter high, and you can reach that one by looking up. Gold. Yellow. Hue. The rice paddies stretch out into the unseen horizon, with some clusters of low houses.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to make a video." Zhu Jia called out to the girl who had just walked on the terrier.

She looked back and said in surprise, "Why do you have to take pictures everywhere?" ”

He's still adjusting his phone, "This place used to be a big pond that filled with water every summer. ”

He didn't tell her:

In that season, when the pond is full of lotus flowers, the river is clear enough to see the fish swimming in the deep water, and the breeze brings the fragrance of the wisps, and the banks of this flowery flower are often surrounded by groups of children and young people from one or two villages, some of them swimming in the pond, and the water ducks are happily stepping on the water. Children like him and his peers would go to the small opening in the pond and feed the farmland, tie a net, and wait for it to fill with fish and shrimp. ’

She looked at the depression that was only less than half a meter lower than the stalk under her feet. Underneath the grass was layers of dirt, and it would have been hard for her to imagine what a pond it had been if it hadn't been for him.

He didn't say anything more, but looked intently at the screen in the mobile phone, gently spinning, 'coo-coo--- coo', the partridge's chirping came in a low voice, and this moment of effort. Hook., citation. Inside her, she wanted to get out of here quickly and walk towards a populated place.

Her feet gently took a few steps off the spot, and there was a thin, echoing crunch of stepping on the plant.

As the green lines on Zhu Jia's screen circled, he glanced in the direction of her feet, and under the quiet of the trees after the wind had blown for a while, there was a small piece of withered yellow leaf that rolled to the side and fluttered gently in the air like a boat.

Xu Tiantian followed his gaze and also saw the leaves less than one meter in front of her, swaying from side to side for several meters, and falling to the ground silent and silent.

"Let's go." He has some. Muddy. Thick. The silence was broken by the sound.

"You suddenly said it so loudly and it startled me." While she was still blaming him, the young man had already stepped forward, and his pace was very fast.

She hunched over with him, like a cheek walking through a dense forest, and there was a continuous sound of dead leaves being trampled.

Walking for more than 20 meters, I walked to the edge of the depression, and I saw that there was not shallow water at the bottom of the small ditch on the right side that was wrapped by countless long branches and leaves, and it was turbid. Coagulate. Stagnant. There are a lot of dead leaves on the surface of the water.

The sun that was about to rise in the middle could only shine in a few small spots, and this narrow space had a deep feeling of a secluded forest and swamp.

"There are a lot of snakes here, we used to go down, yellow, eel, we didn't come here." He will hang a wicker around his waist. Envoy. He went up, but did not put it down, but retreated to the edge of the field stalk and not on the side of the small ditch.

"You go first", at this time, even if he fell to the right, he would be blocked by dense branches, and the edge of the branch not far in front of him almost scratched his face.

"Hmm." She nodded, and a few meters further on, there was a small pit less than two meters deep, and some dandelion bushes were scattered next to it.

"Keep going and you'll see a familiar sight." Zhu Jia said with a smile behind her.

She sprinted down the steep slope, stepping on the slightly leveled surface of several artificially placed rocks in succession.

When she rushed up, she saw an empty threshing floor, and there were quite a few plants near her. Crazy. Long. Above, at the end of it was the side of the low, low-rise bungalow she was somewhat familiar with. A huge crack extended from the top of the bungalow to the stone slab below.
