In the present world, Hong's dilapidated little home.

The season of scorching sunshine is about to pass, and the wind of early autumn reduces the heat of late summer, and the cool breeze makes the climate much more comfortable, and also makes people feel the coolness of autumn.

The rainbow is still the same, exactly the same as the boring days of the three years since the return, the daily head is groggy, and the daily life is also groggy.

Hong hasn't changed her summer quilt for three years. Every night after returning from the otherworldly continent, even if it was a hot summer, she dragged her cold body, wrapped in a large thick quilt for the night, and fell asleep with the worn-out blue notebook in her arms.

Every morning, she woke up from her old dreams in a daze, and the dreams were still memories with men, sweet and warm, happy and happy. In the dream, the man held her in his arms, and when she woke up, only the tears on her face were left.

On this day, Hong got up in the morning in the early autumn weather, put down the warm old diary warm on his chest, and quickly got out of bed and cooked breakfast neatly. A pot of small rice was eaten in the morning, and two pieces of sweet potatoes were cooked, two boiled eggs, and a fragrant little cold dish was mixed in, which were all dry food to be eaten at noon when I took them to the mountains.

Now, she is no longer a delicate woman in another world, who is clothed and open-mouthed, and is taken care of by big stones everywhere. In the past three years, every meal she has eaten has come from her own hands, even if the rice she first cooked was a pot of black charcoal and a pot of salt water, she forced herself to swallow her throat.

She did all this on her own, didn't she? It's that she doesn't care about her broken body, even if she gently goes to the end of her life in the arms of a man, a man will give her all his love, isn't it?

What about the man left alone? I must hate her now! Or maybe there's someone else around him? After all, the man was so attractive. In the past, when she stood by the side of men every day, she could see covetousness or envy and jealousy in the eyes of women who blushed at the sight of men, not to mention the present three years after she left.

His eyes were full of tears again, he siphoned his somewhat blocked nose, collected his sad emotions, quickly settled his breakfast, took dry food and carried the medicine basket, and hurriedly walked to the stone mountain.

Autumn has arrived, will the snow season be far away? After the heavy snow closes the mountain, the villagers of Stone Village will definitely have more headaches and brain fevers, and she also needs to prepare more herbs. At that time, the heavy snow covered the road, and the medicinal herbs were all withered, so she wanted to save some medicinal herbs now and exchange them with the villagers for some food when the time came.

She also needs to accumulate some living materials! Even if she is alone, she has to be strong to live, and she has to eat, right? Otherwise, how could he return to the otherworldly continent where men exist in an instant.

To live, to work hard to live, is her only hope now, when will she suddenly appear in front of a man, I don't know if she is surprised or happy?

Rainbow walks along the gravel path in the village to the foot of the mountain, where the villagers in the farmland are happily harvesting the fruits of autumn. The people who passed by the village greeted her, the only doctor in the village, and she smiled at each of them.

The people of Stone Village are simple, everyone is kind to her, and there are many people who take care of her life, which is why she stayed in Stone Village for so long.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, looking up at this black and oppressive stone mountain, only a few herbs could be found in some sparse rock crevices, and it took her a whole day to fill a medicine basket every time.

As for the rainbow, why? Only to choose to live in this remote and backward place for three years?

She can only say that she returned to the year of the present world, and when she came back, she found that her grandfather had passed away a few years ago, and she was heartbroken and suddenly returned to the present world, but she casually flipped through the map, and inadvertently found this place called Stone Mountain and Stone Village in the Shuzhong area.

It is said that a person will fall in love with a city because of a person. And she fell in love with this small mountain village of the same name because of a person's name.

It was three years, and she vividly remembered that three or four months later, when the weather turned to winter, the first snow fell, it was the anniversary of her and the man's first meeting. It's just that now that time has passed, is she the only one left to commemorate that day?

Hong came back to her senses from her memory, stood at the foot of the mountain and wandered, and saw the white-haired old man dressed in the distance like a fairy, walking towards the stone mountain as light as a swallow.

Since the summer of three months ago, Hong has seen this strange old man, and heard that he will ask some inexplicable words, which makes her sad for a while.

Most of the time, she chooses to turn a deaf ear. But in the past few days, she found that the old man had not stopped coming to this desolate stone mountain for months.

Where does the rainbow come from?

It's not because of the pile of stones that the old man is fiddling with. In a large open space at the top of Stone Mountain, piles of stones seem to be invisible, and seem to be arranged in a regular manner. Fiddling ranged from east to west, from south to north, and although she couldn't see why, she knew that it must be a formation.

As for what kind of formation it is? Anyway, she doesn't understand, if the master is here, she will definitely understand. It's just that the villagers in Stone Village in front of me are all farmers who have worked in the mountains for generations, and there must be no one who understands it.

However, it didn't matter what happened to her, she continued to concentrate on picking her herbs as if she couldn't see the old man. During this period, she still needs to pick more herbs for use after the snow in exchange for her winter rations.

Sometimes she also thinks it is ridiculous, in the five years she has been in the otherworldly continent, she has never used currency, even if there is gold and silver that can be traded as currency, but it has never been her turn to use it.

Because, every thing she wants, the man will bring her back without reservation, and sometimes she will mumble that if she is like this world, she doesn't need to exchange anything to buy, just buy it with money.

But what about now? Although she still lives on the earth of her childhood, in this era when everyone uses mobile phones and virtual currencies. And she still retains the laws of the otherworldly continent, and if she wants to see a doctor, she will exchange it for food.

Therefore, there is never a shortage of things in her small yard, as small as pots and pans, cooking seasonings. As big as the table and bed, the grain and vegetables were exchanged with the villagers. So, she hadn't used currency since she came to Stone Village.

But it's okay to live an easy and stress-free life. Living in a simple and backward village, there is no need to intrigue. There is no need to worry that someone will come to the house to steal things, and you can run out to collect medicine without worry. Anyway, there's nothing to lose at home.

Hong shook her head and smiled, and continued to pick herbs, the stone mountain was particularly barren. There are no blooming petals, no lush green woodland, just a few herbs emerging from the sandstone rock walls.

This harvest is not bad, not only has the cool-blooded andrographis, but also has a lot of effect on Aracea. For the past three years, she has been shuttling through the stone mountains, and she is quite familiar with this place.

Waiting for the scorching sun of autumn to rise overhead, Hong also climbed to the top of the mountain because of the collection of medicine, the heat of the autumn tiger is not small, but to the rainbow's cold-sensitive body also said, by the noon sun exposure, the body is just warm.

She found a stone of the right size, reached out and took off the medicine basket she was carrying on her back and put it at her feet, and took out the sweet potatoes, boiled eggs, and thermos cups she had brought with her in the morning, and wanted to settle her lunch here.

It's just that Hong opened her mouth, and before she could take a bite, a shadow was cast under the sun above her head: "Little girl, don't you know how to let the old man go?" Besides, I don't have to eat the lunch you brought. ”

Hong looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard, who she also happened to know, the old man who fiddled with stones on the top of the mountain every day. It's just that they had only seen each other from a distance before, but they had never looked at each other so closely.

Although the old man's beard was completely white, there were few wrinkles on his face, except for a few shallow wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, and even the nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose were not very obvious.

The old man was still dressed for the first time he had seen him, a black Tang costume with characters, black cotton shoes, and white socks. Probably to carry the stones, he carried a pair of workers' gloves on his hands.

He has an outstanding temperament and is neatly dressed. Although she said the usual words, Hong always felt that there was a familiar smell about him. Hong felt that it was appropriate to say that he was a strange old man, rather than that he was an immortal who had descended from heaven and earth, where was there such a clean old man in the world?

Hong sat on the stone and did not move, but stretched out a small hand and lifted a piece of sweet potato and a boiled egg to Lao Gao, meaning to divide half of the food to the old man.

The old man was not modest, so he took the food in Hong's hand and ate it. His eating appearance is very elegant, without the feeling of gobbling up like many people in the other world, and there is no dislike for this cheap food in the present world.

But although Hong's evaluation of him is good, but the strange old man is a strange old man, after he finished eating the food in his hand, he snatched another boiled egg from Hong, and turned away.

Hong opened her mouth and was surprised for a long time, she really didn't expect an old man to have the evil operation of snatching people's food, but forget it, how could she deal with an old man.

A piece of sweet potato couldn't fill her stomach at all, so Hong had to pick up the thermos cup and drink all the hot water in it to deceive the still deflated belly.

After drinking the water, Hong rested for a while. Seeing the strange old man, who had gone to fiddle with the pile of broken stones again, she picked up the medicine basket and went to another place to collect herbs.

When Hong went back, she was obviously more serious than when she came to look at the herbs, and she had to return to the village earlier before dark, Mingli's sister-in-law's millet rice had a fever for two days, and she had to bring it over for a follow-up visit tonight. Thinking of this, Hong sped up the pace of collecting medicine again.

The strange old man, who was nicknamed Venus, came to Stone Mountain to complete a thing, and as for whether it had anything to do with the girl who went down the mountain, he hadn't figured it out yet. However, according to his observation during this time, this girl who is familiar with herbs has a story in her heart, as for what? But he didn't see it very clearly.

The old man Venus stroked his white beard with his hand, recalling the appearance of this girl, his face was fair, his black eyes were full of light, and his long black hair was scattered to his waist. It's just a pair of dark eyes full of wounds.

It seems that she is still a little girl with a story, Venus put her hands behind her back, looking at the back of this girl going down the mountain from a distance, no one knows what the strange old man is thinking?
