It is said that Yue Wuxian and his party walked along the river for three or five days, and the group was already exhausted, and they had long lost the interest when they left home, and the road was quite safe.

The river is getting narrower and narrower, the water is crystal clear, and there are some winding paths on the road, but fortunately, everyone unloaded the ox cart frame and led the oxen to walk slowly.

Birds, valley trees, mountain shadows, sunset villages

The sunset in the distance has already burned half of the sky, and it looks like the sun is about to set soon. A touch of crimson sunset shone on the distant mountains, and the blue sky was filled with large white clouds, which showed a flame-like red under the glow of the setting sun, and the clouds fluttered in the air, like a dream like a light veil, which would keep you away from the troubles of trouble.

This kind of beauty is intoxicating.

Meng Ruyan has never left home, let alone seen such a sunset, holding Aunt Guo's hand and chattering.

Yue Wuxian looked straight ahead, and in his impression, he had seen a more beautiful sunset than this time, "Let's make a fire here, I'll go find something to eat, you wait here." ”

The moon walked forward along the river without a trace, taking advantage of the afterglow, I saw a stone slab across the Yao River from a distance, transported light power, fell on the stone slab, and found that there was no water around the stone slab, the Yao River was gone from here, the left was up to the Yao River, and the right hand was far away from a white expanse, picked up the stone, threw it down, there was no sound, and the bottom was not visible. Then he went into the woods next to him, and saw hares and pheasants, and shot two.

The demeanor is not elegant, the beautiful face, the eyes are slightly squinted, even if they get along for a few days, the more they look at it, the more surprised they become. "I'm very happy, finally like a normal person, and I really hope that this kind of life will continue to be stable."

"When we get to Yacheng, my aunt will take you to eat delicious food." patted his little hand, "When I arrived in Yaocheng, I had to find a way to cover my young lady's face." ”

The sound of unhurried footsteps came, and the two looked over tacitly, and saw that the person who came was the moon without a trace, and the tense magic suddenly relaxed.

Yue Wuxian picked up the pheasant and duck in his hand and shook it, Aunt Guo took it and hurried to the river to deal with it.

"Brother Traceless." Meng Ruchen's voice was slightly hoarse, revealing the taste of bewitchment.

Yue Wuxian raised his forehead, "Say, what's the matter?" "This girl is eccentric, after getting along for the past few days, once she makes this sound, there is absolutely no good thing.

Think about what you did last time?

"Brother Wuxie, come, Uncle Guo just finished the exam, you see, golden and yellow, it must be very delicious, Brother Wuji, you take a bite, taste it full", looking at this girl coquettish, she couldn't hold back for a while, she took it and quickly took a bite, the entrance was full of salt, and there was a bloody smell when she bit it, and she dared to fool him with the fresh meat that had just been salted. I saw that the girl ran faster than a rabbit, and laughed so hard that he didn't know how much water he drank along the way, and how many times he went to the hut.

What else, "Brother Wuji, the fruit I just picked up, look at this green color, I asked Aunt Guo, and said that it can be eaten, and it is very nourishing, you don't believe it, you see, I'll eat it for you." ”

I saw that the girl bit it with her teeth, Yue Wuxian glanced at it, the juice was still bubbling up, seeing that she was eating very fragrantly, picking up the green fruit in her hand and biting it, she couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, girl, almost knocked her teeth out, what fruit, so hard. Seeing the girl cross her waist and chewing in her mouth, as if she didn't know either, made him doubt life a little for a moment.

Just as he came back from fetching water, he heard the hearty laughter, and talked about her great achievements,

"Auntie, I just said, he must not have seen the fruit that I have never seen, no, it is funny to see his teeth about to knock out, you didn't see it, your face has changed, hahaha." Sister-in-law Guo also laughed, and when she looked up, she saw Yue Wuxian beside her, her face was colorful, and she hurriedly bumped her elbow like smoke, and when she saw that the dream was like smoke, she didn't realize it, and she gestured with her eyes. "Auntie, what's wrong with your eyes."

When the words fell, I heard the voice of Yue Wuxian gritting his teeth, "I see if you have bad eyes?" Get the hell out of here. ”

"Brother Traceless, I was wrong, I'm not naughty anymore." Dreams are like dust and admit mistakes while running.

Think about what else, too many to count........

Don't even think about it, this time it will definitely not be good, and quickly said, "I'm not hungry for the time being, if I'm hungry, I'll bake it myself, I'm not thirsty, and I don't want to eat fruit...... Others, I haven't thought of yet, if it's convenient, please stay away from me. "This is how hard you are bullied, it has cast a shadow.

“……”

"By the way, you're really bored, you go to the calf, don't bother me." Yue Wuxian showed an expression that no one was close to, his aura was cold, and he looked around.

"Brother Traceless, I'm sad for you to say that." Dream Ruyan lowered her head, her voice choked.

"Kneel, little smoker." Yue Wuxian shook his hand with his back to him, and kept muttering in his heart, there is absolutely nothing good about it, and he knows it with his ass.

"The moon is traceless, you remember it for me, don't fall into my hands." Dream Ruyan gestured with his hands, in the words of the calf, cutting vegetables.

"I don't have eyes behind my back to see. By the way, you can't beat me?" Suddenly turned his head and grinned.

Meng Ruyan hurriedly withdrew his hand, this demon, what are you laughing at, who doesn't know that he is good-looking, good-looking, and not as good-looking as Brother Chen.

Night came, and the bonfire went up. Everyone gathered around the bonfire, and the peace along the way temporarily made them relax their vigilance and take turns keeping vigil.

The time is fast, and it will be dawn again.

When the group came to the place where Yue Wuxian found yesterday, they were all stunned by the scene in front of them, the water of the Yao River was gone, and there was a long stone slab in the middle, and there was a big cliff next to the stone slab, which was bottomless. The fog was very large, and it had not yet dissipated, and it was connected to the mountains in the distance, and it was white.

"Uncle Guo, are you sure that no one from the village has ever been here?" Yue Wuxian looked at this with a suspicious expression.

"No, I've never heard of it, and I didn't even expect the old man to be here. We have been walking for more than 20 days, and if the people in the village want to go to Yacheng, they will definitely take the official road over there, so this place has not been discovered. ”

"You see, there is a mountain ahead, and if we climb over it, we will reach the most remote village in the city." Yue Wuxian pointed to the mountain, his eyes revealed incredible, and the picture flashed directly in his mind, as if he had been here.

"Brother Traceless, how do you know?"

"I don't know either"

"Let's go, let's go over it, it'll be a few days."

The group walked slowly, without encountering any danger along the way, but they were not in a hurry.

……

A few days later, when they finally arrived at the edge of Yaocheng City, a group of dusty people looked at Yaocheng with a smile on their faces.

"Let's go, advanced city."

There is a big difference between the city and other cities, the layout of the city is deliberately built in the hollow layout, the outer edge is a large circle is the rich fertile farm, the inner circle is the residential houses that meet the life of the bottom, in the court is the wealthy people, and the city is the dignitary.

There is also a good field farm outside the city, which can be used as a private sale, the price is not expensive, and there will always be surplus grain to fill the stomach. Many peasant families who were not wealthy were willing to buy land and build houses outside the city, and gradually villages began to exist outside the city.

Yue Wuxian and his party lined up to pay the entrance fee to the city, and the calf led the cow, dreaming like smoke with a face towel. The city guard routinely asked, "What are you doing in the city?" How many?"

"Official, our family went to the city to find relatives, my eldest son is helping in it, it's not that my daughter is not in good health, Lao Er changed to take the family into the city to find a famous doctor to treat the little girl, my daughter came, I saw the official." Uncle Guo beckoned to Dream Ruyan.

The guard looked at the person in front of him, his forehead was yellow, he was dressed in coarse linen, and his body was petite. Meng Ruyan covered her mouth and nose and coughed. No, there is an intermittent cough.

The guard quickly shook his head, covering his mouth and nose along the way. "Ten cents, hurry up, next one." The tone was impatient.

Everyone looked at each other, nodded at each other, and fortunately, they were not discovered. I remembered the portrait I picked up outside the city earlier. There is a woman painted on it, the woman in the painting is dressed in red, her white and flawless face is beautiful, so beautiful that it is suffocating, and it is written on the side of the painting, looking for this woman, the bounty is 1,000 taels of silver.

Everyone looked at the portrait and looked at the dream like smoke, and looked at the dream like smoke and then looked at the portrait. Meng Ruyan stroked her face and asked, "Is it so similar?"

I saw everyone nodding, "I have never worn a red coat, and I don't have a red coat at home, you see the hairpin on this head, I have never seen it." casually walked away, and hurriedly said: "Could it be my father's illegitimate daughter raised outside!" ”

After the death of the owner's wife, the people in the rivers and lakes persuaded the owner of the dream village to marry a wife and have children, but the owner of the dream village refused one by one. Could it be that the rumors are wrong, and the dream owner is fake. Yue Wuxian hurriedly shook his head, no, he was damaged by this girl.

Meng Ruyan took the portrait and looked at it, "It's quite similar, no wonder my father doesn't come home all year round, this is for fear that his illegitimate daughter will be discovered and damage his reputation." It's beautiful, and I really want to see it. ”

"You said that about your father?" Yue Wuxian snatched the portrait in Meng Ruyan's hand and tore it apart slowly.

"Eh, what are you doing! The bounty was 1,000 taels of silver, which was very valuable. ”

"Why don't I give you out, so that our group will have no worries about food and clothing?"

Everyone seems to be thinking about the feasibility of this solution.

Meng Ruyan looked at everyone's thoughtful and wronged Bala's face, and panicked all of a sudden, "Don't, that's not me." ”

"Childe is joking with you", Aunt Guo pulled Mengruyan's hand, "The more I look at this face, the more it looks like it, I see oranges and gardenias nearby, mash them and smear them for you, cover them for the time being." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Pouted at the moon without a trace, hum.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and I entered the city smoothly. Yue Wuxian looked behind at the guard, but fortunately, "Uncle, according to the previous plan, you go to find your son first, or find an inn to live in." I'll take a step first, and after I settle down, I'll pass the news to Changle Fang and find the shopkeeper. After saying that, Yue Wuxian lowered his head and left.

Uncle Guo went to Yaocheng to see his son Guo Dabao before, Guo Dabao was in charge of a farm, and he also married a wife and had children in Yaocheng, and his life was not poor.

The group walked towards Guo Dabao's home, and the calf led the cow behind and slowly followed. Uncle Guo pointed to the alley in front, "Go through this alley, turn left, and it will be Dabao's home." ”

"Uncle, I'm coming, I'm really looking forward to seeing Brother Dabao." Dream Ruyan's eyes rolled around, looking at the surroundings were all door-to-door, persimmon trees were planted at the door, and small fruits were hanging on the trees, which was very curious.

"Let's get past this opening, and we'll be there." Uncle Guo quickened his pace, he hadn't seen Dabao and his baby grandson for a long time, and he didn't know if the good grandson had eaten well and gone to school.

When I turned the corner, I saw a white banner hanging outside the door, and a white gauze silk flower hanging on the door plaque. Seeing this, Uncle Guo hurriedly trotted over, arrived at the door, looked left and right, this is indeed his son Dabao's home, and the osmanthus tree at the door was brought by him from Lijia Village to plant it himself. What's going on, how can this be?

Meng Ruyan hurriedly hugged the aunt, and the aunt suddenly cried loudly. "Auntie, it shouldn't be Brother Dabao, it's okay."

"Dabao, what's going on? There are only three people in their family, and the last time they received a letter from Dabao, they all said that their family was very good, and that Jun'er had grown taller. Uncle Guo muttered in his mouth, and hurriedly walked towards the house, only to see a coffin parked in the hall, and a daughter next to him kneeling in linen and burning straw paper for the brazier in front of him.

Uncle Guo saw that it was his daughter-in-law, and choked up and shouted, "Cui'er, what's wrong." What's going on? ”

"Dad, Dad, you're finally back, Dabao is gone, Dabao is gone." Seeing that it was her father-in-law, Cui'er quickly stood up, ran over, knelt and pulled Uncle Guo's trouser leg and said.

As soon as Aunt Guo entered the door, she heard Cui'er's words, shook off her dreamy hand, and stumbled over, "Dabao, Dabao, my hard-working Dabao." ”

Cui'er was also crying, and the entire Guo family was filled with a sad atmosphere. "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" I saw Aunt Guo's hand holding the coffin slide all the way down, and she fell to the ground in an instant. Meng Ruyan hurriedly ran over and helped, "Little cow, hurry up and help support." ”

"What about Jun'er, why don't you see Jun'er?" Uncle Guo looked left and right, and when he saw that he didn't see it, he yelled anxiously.

"Dad, Dad, don't worry, Jun'er is fine, Jun'er is fine." Cui'er helped Uncle Guo to sit, "Jun'er, at my mother's house, I haven't had time to pick him up, but Dabao has this incident." All of a sudden, Uncle Guo was old.

With trembling hands, he raised and pointed slowly, "What happened to Dabao." ”

"What happened to Dabao in Zhuangzi, his leg was broken, and then he had a high fever, and he was burned in a daze, and he didn't know what was going on, and there were no more people." Cui'er tugged at her clothes and wiped her tears, "It's me who takes care of Dabao, Dad, you beat me!" ”

"Why didn't we be notified, why wasn't we?" Uncle Guo slapped the table with his hands on his face, looking sad.

"I sent it, I sent it a few times, and they all said that you came to Yacheng, but I didn't wait for you." Cui'er turned pale.

When Uncle Guo listened, he suddenly became haggard and wept sadly. It turned out to be to blame him, to blame him for missing the last time he saw Dabao.

Dream Ruyan asked the calf to send a letter to Yue Wuxian, and Yue Wuxian rushed over that night, facing Uncle Guo with a guilty face. If it weren't for his insistence on walking along the Yao River, the uncle would not have seen Dabao for the last time.

After Dabao was buried, Yue Wuxian sent someone to take Guo Jun back. When Uncle Guo saw his grandson, his face improved slightly.

"Uncle Guo," Yue Wuxian saluted Uncle Guo respectfully, "Thank you Uncle Guo for saving your life, this is a little bit of my heart, now I have to do something again, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, this is the steward of Changle Fang, I tell them to take good care of you." ”

Turning to Dream Ruyan, he handed her the message in his hand. Meng Ruyan stared at Yue Wuxian with a curious face, "And my things?"

Yue Wuxian looked indifferent, standing outside the door, with his back to Dream Ruyan, "You look at the news in your hand, and directly decide to go with me, or stay here." ”

Meng Ruyan opened the origami in her hand, and her face suddenly became gloomy, and her eyes darkened. "Is the news true?"

"Yes, well-known news." Yue Wuxian understated that he hadn't told her the news of the disappearance of the owner of the dream village. Well, let's talk about it later, lest she can't bear it.

"I'll go with you."

"I'm not on the same road with you, I'll send someone to take you back." Yue Wuxian turned his head to look at Meng Ruyan, "How many do you know?" ”

Meng Ruyan raised her head and stared at Yue Wuxian directly, "You think I'm lying to you?" ”

"I hope not, if it is, maybe we can only be enemies." The breeze is light, and the sunlight shines through the eaves, leaving a dappled reflection. Yue Wuheng stood and instructed the steward, "Let's go!" ”

Meng Ruyan looked at Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo, Aunt Guo and they all raised their heads to look at Meng Ruyan. Meng Ruyan nodded at them, swept away her serious demeanor, and said to Aunt Guo: "Auntie, you said that you would take me to eat delicious food, you have to remember, next time I come back, you must take me to eat." Brother Maverick, take good care of their aunts. After speaking, Dream Ruyan ran towards the door, chasing the footsteps of the moon without a trace. Aunt Guo's eyes are red, she has been together for so long, she has long had a relationship, and she doesn't know when she will be able to see each other.

"After all, it's a young lady from a big family, and it's not good to wander outside for a long time." Uncle Guo comforted.

Aunt Guo knew it in her heart, but she couldn't help but feel sad, this child was well-behaved and sensible, lively and cute, she didn't have a daughter, these days, she had long treated her as her own daughter. As soon as I parted, I felt sad.
