On the other side, Duan Xu carried Hua Jiyun, who was temporarily blind, and returned to Ah Yun's house.

It was Ah Yun's grandmother who came to open the door, the one who didn't want to give the oranges to Duan Xu to eat.

"Oh, what's wrong with this girl? Come on in......"

The old man hurriedly welcomed Duan Xu and Hua Jiyun into the house, then brought a basin of water, soaked the towel, and gently wiped the blood on her face.

Duan Xu stood aside, looked at the old man and Hua Jiyun, and asked, "What about Ah Yun?" Haven't come back yet? ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Duan Xu: "Didn't the girl go to the back mountain with you?" ”

Duan Xu was silent, and when he left the back mountain, he noticed that Ah Yun was also gone, and walked in the other direction.

"Grandma, do you know where Ah Yun likes to go?"

Duan continued to ask.

The old man stopped what he was doing, looked at Duan Xu with some surprise, hesitated for a while, and then she said: "The girl usually likes to go to three places, one is the locust tree on the mountainside of the back mountain, the other is the locust tree in the middle of the village, and there is one place...... It is the top of this Xiangyang Mountain behind it. ”

Duan Xu nodded and whispered to Hua Jiyun: "I'll leave first, you can stay here with peace of mind." ”

Hua Jiyun's heart tightened, and just as she wanted to say something, she heard Duan Xu's voice continue to sound:

"Grandma, please take care of her, her eye hurts, I ...... Will come back to pick her up. ”

"Squeak-"

The sound of pushing the door sounded, and then, Duan Xu left Ah Yun's house.

Hua Jiyun obviously can't see anything now, but she still doesn't want to withdraw her gaze for a long time.

"Girl, you like that lad, don't you?"

The old man asked suddenly.

Hua Jiyun was startled, her face turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, the old man whispered while wiping Hua Jiyun's face: "Alas, girl, don't blame grandma for pouring cold water on you, your friend...... Maybe I didn't realize something......"

……

The top of Xiangyang Mountain.

Duan Xu walked through the village and climbed straight up.

At nine o'clock, the sun spilled obliquely on Huai Village below, like a golden dragon, driving away the gloom, cold, poverty, and desolation of the mountain village.

When Duan Xu reached the top of the mountain, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was hugging her knees and facing the sun.

The mountain wind blew her hair lightly with a little mist, and Ah Yun at this moment was like a fairy in Xiangyang Mountain.

She seemed to hear Duan Xu's voice, and after turning her head to take a look, she saw that it was Duan Xu, and some surprise flashed on her face.

"Guest, are you also here to see the scenery?"

Duan Xu took a deep breath, but the sober air made a trace of confusion flash in his eyes.

"The mountain village always gives me some familiar feeling."

Duan Xu looked at everything that was shining golden by the morning sun and said calmly.

"Maybe the guest was also from the mountains in his last life?" Ah Yun seemed to smile, she stared at all of Xiangyang Mountain, and said, "If you can keep it like this...... How nice would it be? ”

"People change, and so do mountains. Grandmother. ”

Duan Xu walked towards Ah Yun and stood beside her.

Ah Yun trembled, she turned her head to look at Duan Xu beside her in disbelief, and said with a smile: "Guest? Why do you call me grandma? ”

Duan Xu didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

After a long time, he spoke: "I have a good memory, although you have been avoiding appearing at the same time as Ah Yun, I still have your appearance imprinted in my mind, Ah Yun, grandma...... There are three moles on your face, one on your left earlobe, one on your right eyebrow, and one on the left side of your nose. ”

Duan Xu didn't seem to be worried at all about Ah Yun in front of him doing something to him, he even sat down and said calmly: "The three moles all grow in the same place, even if they are blood relatives, I don't believe it's a coincidence." ”

Ah Yun's pupils trembled slightly, and her body became tighter and tighter, but after Duan Xu finished speaking, she relaxed instead, and looked at him in amazement: "You are really powerful." ”

Duan Xu didn't speak, but looked at her suspiciously: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Ah Yun turned his head, looked at the vast mountain, and whispered, "When I was very young, my mother told me not to be blinded by the world outside the mountain. ”

"So, I've been focusing on what's in front of me. In the spring, I plant vegetables in the vegetable patch, water them, in the summer, I sow peppers and tomatoes, remove weeds from the vegetable patch, and in the autumn, I harvest everything I have sown and help the villagers from time to time. Winter...... I opened the window and watched the snow cover the mountains, and everything was white from heaven to earth. ”

Ah Yun's voice seemed to be a little older, and his eyes were a little foggy: "I just just think about what is in front of me, living in the mountains day after day, year after year, and suddenly one day, I found out that I was ninety years old. People in the village say it's a good thing, I don't know if it's good or bad, I don't care too much, maybe ...... Is it because I don't care too much about anything that I can live so long? ”

"I eat everything I sowed, cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, potatoes...... The surplus food can be exchanged for cloth and needlework, and in the past life, Huaicun and I never needed money. Ah Yun turned his head and looked at Duan Xu: "You know what? It wasn't until 30 years ago that the village had electricity and money. ”

"Now that I think about it, poverty may be a kind of good fortune, like the locust tree in the middle of the village. When I was young, although the land was barren, it grew luxuriantly, and now it ...... I'm dying, and so is it. It was wealth that had harmed it, and they had found antiquities buried beneath it, and they had cut off its roots. ”

"So, if you want to stop them, you kill them." Duan Xu looked at Ah Yun and asked the doubts in his heart: "But I don't understand, why won't your clone kill you?" ”

Ah Yun squinted, a young face facing the sun.

"Because this I was created by the locust tree, and your other self was created by a curse buried under the locust tree." She opened her eyes and looked down softly, "Perhaps, it created this young body to let me protect it and protect this village." ”

"Kill them to protect the village?" Duan Xu looked at her puzzled.

Ah Yun shook his head: "I didn't kill them, I just wanted to find what they dug up and return it." ”

"That's why you're so anxious when you hear that the village chief is dead?"

"Yes." Ah Yun nodded.

"The people in the village said that because of the old locust tree, the village began to be haunted, which is both true and wrong. I have seen since I was a child that the village has been haunted all the time, and some of the people who have just died, I can see their twisted figures at night, but they can never harm anyone, because the locust tree is still there, it has always been spiritual, although it can't speak, but it hears, sees, and understands more than all the people in the village combined. ”

"It's ridiculous that they cut the umbrella with their own hands for the sake of money."

The sarcasm on Ah Yun's face was undisguised.

"The most terrible thing now is that those monsters that have been released have found what they dug up and taken away before me, they only need to completely destroy that thing, and this village will immediately become a purgatory on earth."
