Following him, Duanmu Qing carefully held the feather blade in his sleeve while guarding against any changes.

I just walked for a while, and found that there seemed to be light in front of me.

Although she could see everything in the darkness, it was a completely different feeling than what she could see with her eyes using the light of the sky.

So, she could still tell with great certainty that they were going to get out of this hole.

Sure enough, after a while, this long passage came to an end, and Duanmu Qing saw from a distance that the end of the passage was a green mountain, a green mountain soaked in sunlight.

The green greenery on it is shiny and looks very well grown.

The man stood at the entrance of the cave and beckoned to her with a smile: "Come on! ”

Although he hesitated slightly, it was only for a moment, and then he followed his footsteps and walked out.

It's just that Duanmu Qing didn't expect that there was such a scene outside.

The babbling river shimmered and flowed, and the grass on the ground radiated the breath of life in the sunlight.

In the distance, there are simple thatched huts, and huge waterwheels are slowly turning, distributing the water from the river to different farmlands.

There were women with turbans on their heads working in the fields, oxen crowing, and roosters crowing.

White cranes flew in the sky, and then fluttered their wings and stayed on the treetops not far away, seemingly unafraid of the humans living here.

"Brother Xiaoyan is back!" A childish voice sounded, followed by the laughter of a group of children.

After a while, a group of children dressed in red and green came running, and one by one they all leaned towards the man.

It's just that their clothes look a little strange, a little different from those worn by outsiders, as if they are wearing only a loose robe to make it easier to put on their bodies.

Perhaps because he came here through the deep and dark passage of Fang Cai, Duanmu Qing's heart immediately divided them into people here, and there seemed to be an extra boundary between them and the outside world out of thin air.

"What are you doing?" It turned out that his name was Xiao Yan, and at this time he squatted down and picked up a boy, and asked with a smile.

"Look for horseshoe!" A little child raised the basket in his hand, which contained a number of freshly picked wild vegetables.

A little girl stared at Duanmu Qing for a long time, and finally couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Xiaoyan, who is she?" ”

Her question made the other children turn their eyes, and they all looked at Duanmu Qing, and then there was a little child who looked very mysterious: "I know!" ”

"What do you know?" Xiao Yan rubbed the child's head and said to Duanmu Qing, "Come with me!" ”

Then the group of children all followed Xiao Yan and Duanmu Qing, and walked towards the house in their circles.

"I know, I heard what my mother said, Brother Xiaoyan is now at the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, is Brother Xiaoyan looking for this sister to be a daughter-in-law?"

When the little girl heard this, she clapped her hands happily: "Marry a daughter-in-law!" Marry a daughter-in-law! ”

When Xiao Yan heard them say this, he immediately blushed, which surprised Duanmu Qing, and he couldn't help but laugh along.

Seeing that she was not embarrassed by this, Xiao Yan was relieved and still walked forward without disorder.

I didn't forget to pull the little girl's braids.

Who knew that the particularly lively boy suddenly said to the girl: "When I grow up, will I find Xiaomei to be my daughter-in-law?" ”

The little girl was not shy at all when she heard this, and a smile appeared on her face: "Good! ”

This......

Duanmu Qing was silent, the children here are really ...... Outspoken.

Xiao Yan took Duanmu Qingjing to the courtyard of a house and explained, "This is my house, I live alone, so you can live here first!" ”

As he spoke, he began to draw water from the well into a large tank next to it.

Duanmu Qing looked at this place for a moment.

It seems that the houses here are all like this, there are no masonry, all wood, and the roof is not tiled, let alone glazed, it is all made of thatch.

Although there is a yard, the yard is also fenced with a master, which is a little different from the outside.

From all of this, the place seems to be poor.

But Duanmu Qing wouldn't really think so at all.

On the contrary, she felt that it was rich, not because of anything else, but simply because of the smiles on their faces.

Whether it is Xiaoyan at this time, or the farmers and farmers working outside, or these children.

They all had smiles on their faces, as if they were very happy every day.

And although the place where they live is simple, the details are very detailed.

Every tool of life is treated as if it were a handicraft.

Bamboo bowls, bamboo chopsticks, bamboo spoons, dig very flat.

The table is also made of the master, and some thoughts have precipitated some traces left by the years.

There was nothing on their clothes that were now fashionable, all of them were in the original color, but they were embroidered with beautiful patterns.

Staying here, Duanmu Qing inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

It is as if the air you breathe is free and fresh.

Although she didn't know where this was, she didn't know who these people were, and she didn't know why this little rock was helping her.

However, she believes that anyone who arrives here will feel the same way.

It seems that the air here is fresh, and its function is to wash away the troubles in people's hearts and forget everything in the world.

Mortal dust?

Thinking of this word, Duanmu Qing felt a burst of surprise, if it was mortal dust outside, then where was this?

This is a wonderland.

"Sister! What's your name? Ever since Xiaomei came in, she had been tilting her head to look at this woman they had never seen before.

Duanmu Qing came back to his senses, saw those clear eyes, and said with a smile: "My name is Duanmu Qing." ”

When Xiaomei heard this, she frowned: "Why is my sister's name so long?" ”

Xiao Yan had already started cooking, and when she heard the little girl's voice, she smiled and said, "Xiaomei, sister, they have different names from us, many of them have three-character names, and there are four more!" ”

Xiaomei smiled and nodded: "Actually, we don't only have a two-word name!" ”

"It's just two words, okay?" The little boy on the side was not convinced, "Xiaomei, Xiaohua, Xiaoyun, Ziyu ......"

"Ah Fei, why do you only remember the girl's name?" Xiao Yan heard their conversation and asked with a smile.

Duanmuqing sat on a bamboo chair basking in the sun, watching their life like this, it seemed to be a very pleasant thing.

"Ah Fei likes girls!" The boy who said he was going to marry Xiaomei just now hurriedly laughed.

"I just like girls, how about it!"

"But you must not like Xiaomei!"

"Why! Xiaomei is so beautiful, why can't I like Xiaomei! ”

"That'...... Xiaomei is going to be my daughter-in-law when she grows up, you are not allowed to like her! ”

"I like it now, and when she becomes your daughter-in-law, I just don't like it."

That Xiaomei's "little fiancé" thought about it, and seemed to think that this was a good point, and nodded, "That's okay." ”

Over there, Xiaomei's eyes crooked with a smile when she heard their conversation.

Xiao Yan fried a dish and brought it to the table, and then said to the children, "Do you want to eat at my place?" Together, I'll cook a little more. ”

"Yes, yes!" Several children hurriedly clapped their hands, it was obvious that this Xiaoyan was very fond of them on weekdays, and everything had a kind of informal taste.

"Then hurry up, take all the horseshoe amaranth you picked today, and tell your father and mother."

"Okay, okay!" As if they had been gifted, several people picked up their small baskets one by one and walked out.

At this moment, a woman's voice came in from outside: "Xiaomei, are you here with Brother Xiaoyan?" ”

"Sister Kite, I'm here!" Xiao Yan replied outside.

At this moment, the woman had already stepped in.

"Mother, I'm here, Brother Xiaoyan is back, and he also brought a daughter-in-law back!"

As if she wanted a reward, she hurried to report to her mother.

When Xiao Kong heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Xiaomei, don't talk nonsense, this is my brother's friend." ”

In fact, as soon as the woman entered, she saw a strange woman sitting in Xiao Yan's courtyard.

Although there is nothing amazing at a glance, when she sees those eyes, she can't help but admire, such a pair of clear eyes.

It's just that......

Thinking of what was on her mind, the woman's brow furrowed imperceptibly.

Duanmuqing found that although the people here were all dressed very plainly, everyone had a tranquil temperament.

It is very different from the farmers who are working hard in the fields outside and asking for food.

Obviously, the woman was older than herself, and Duanmuqing got up and bowed gently.

The woman was slightly stunned, and it seemed to take a while to realize that Duanmuqing was saluting her, and hurriedly waved her hand and smiled: "Since you are Xiaoyan's friend, you are a friend of all of us, don't be so polite, I don't know what the girl's name is?" ”

"Her name is Duanmu Qing, it's three words! It's different from us! Xiaomei heard her mother's inquiry and hurriedly answered.

"Really!" The woman smiled and nodded at her daughter, and then said to Duanmu Qing, "Then I'll call you Xiaoqing from now on!" We all have two words here, calling it convenient. ”

Duanmu Qingcai nodded, but Xiaomei said in a crisp voice: "No! Mother, didn't you tell me that the name of the Snow Girl is also three words? That's incomparably noble. ”638
