I held back some excitement and asked the child with a smile: "Little friend, are you from Peach Blossom Pond?" ”

The kid nodded, "yes, it's just...... How the hell did you find here? ”

Han Yue was about to speak, but I hurriedly stopped in front of her and said first: "We were wandering around in the forest, and we accidentally got lost...... Peach Blossom Pond, we just heard about it, I didn't expect there to be such a place......"

I think even if we talk about the purpose of our visit to Taohuatan, an eleven or twelve-year-old child may not understand, and the adults in his family may teach him that he can't trust the people outside Taohuatan casually, so he must relax his vigilance first.

Sure enough, the slight nervousness on the child's face disappeared and he said, "I see......

I duly said, "Kid...... Can you take us to Peach Blossom Pond? We are tired and thirsty now, and if we don't have food or water, we will starve to death......"

The child's face instantly became vigilant again: "This ......"

Han Yue jumped directly on the raft and said, "Little brat, are you afraid that we are bad people and will not be able to abduct and sell you?" On this Lost Deer Island, we are not short of money, so we will not do this kind of thing......"

The raft shook slightly, the child almost didn't stand firm, and glared at Han Yue with some annoyance, before he hesitated: "Okay then...... I'm not afraid even if you're bad guys, my grandfather is amazing! ”

"Yes, yes......" tqr1

I rejoiced in my heart and hurried to answer.

Yan Shimin and I slowly walked onto the raft.

I saw that the child's basket seemed to contain a lot of herbs, so I asked, "Are you here to collect herbs?" However, what medicine can be collected on this river? Shouldn't you go to the mountains? ”

But the boy said, "Then you will not move......

He smiled mysteriously, propped up the penny, and paddled in the direction of Peach Blossom Pond.

Although this child has a childish face, he has a kind of maturity that is rare for his peers.

I was worried that there were three more of us on this raft, and if others saw that we let a small child row the raft, it would be a little unreasonable, so I reached out to take the penny in the child's hand, and said with a smile: "Little friend, we two big men are standing here, how can we be embarrassed to let you do it?" Or let me do it, right? ”

The child looked at me unconvinced: "You underestimate me? ”

His slightly contemptuous gaze surprised me a little.

I hurriedly said, "No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that......"

But the child puffed out his cheeks, snorted, and pushed hard into the river.

Surprisingly, this young child actually burst out with amazing strength, and the speed of the bamboo raft increased significantly shortly after the penny fell into the water.

Yan Shimin exclaimed: "At a young age, the rowing skills are good......

The child continued to row forward very proudly.

I asked the little boy, "What's your name, little friend?" ”

The kid responded lightly: "Zhu Zhen! ”

"Okay, Zhu Zhen, can I ask you a few questions?" I asked tentatively.

In Zhu Zhen's eyes, he began to be a little vigilant again: "You are already asking......"

Hehe, this kid is really funny talking.

I cleared my throat and asked, "You Peach Blossom Pond masters...... Are you back? ”

My heart began to beat faster, if this Zhu Zhen is from Taohuatan, then he must know the situation in Taohuatan...... Maybe his answer will give me an idea of the life and death of Tuobaling.

Zhu Zhen frowned and asked, "Lord Tan?" ”

I nodded: "Yes, Tuoba Ling, Tan Master, has she come back?" ”

Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "This uncle, are you joking with me?" Where do we have the owner of Peach Blossom Pond? I've never heard of any Tuobaling! ”

I was stunned: "What? How could you not have heard of her, but she is your pool master......"

Zhu Zhen frowned and said, "This uncle, didn't you say you were passing by?" How can these questions be asked to me? Do you have anything to do with Peach Blossom Pond? Or what is the purpose of your visit to Peach Blossom Pond? ”

"I ...... It's nothing, I just listen to people outside......" I had no choice but to sneer, but infinite doubts rose in my heart.

Even if this Zhu Zhen is eleven or twelve years old, he should have been about ten years old two years ago, so even if he is not sensible, it is impossible to forget Tuoba Ling, the master of Peach Blossom Pond, right?

Could it be that he was the one who entered Peach Blossom Lake later, so he hadn't heard of Tuoba Ling?

If that's the case, doesn't that mean that Tuoba hasn't been back for two years?

My heart sank.

Zhu Zhen said to me coldly: "Uncle, don't ask questions anymore, if you have anything to ask, you can ask my grandfather...... Maybe my grandfather will tell you, otherwise you will make me suspect that you have bad intentions in coming to Peach Blossom Pond! ”

"I ......"

I was already shocked in my heart, is this a child, or a dwarf of a few decades old?

How can an eleven or twelve-year-old child be so mature and thoughtful?

Although I have a lot of questions in my heart, Zhu Zhen said so, and I can't ask anything more, anyway, I'm about to go to Peach Blossom Pond......

As long as you arrive at Peach Blossom Pond, everything will be revealed......

Ling'er, Ling'er...... Are you in Peach Blossom Pond?

I sighed and sat directly on the raft, but I saw Yan Shimin frowning all the time.

Since he came to the mouth of the river, Yan Shimin has been thinking about it, did he notice that something was wrong?

I looked towards Yan Shimin, but Yan Shimin pointed at Zhu Zhen with his eyes.

I looked at Zhu Zhen again, and at this time, Zhu Zhen was facing away from us.

I suddenly had a strange feeling at this moment, as if I was familiar with this Zhu Zhen, but after thinking about it carefully, I really haven't seen this child, have I seen his parents?

But among the people I know...... It doesn't seem to have a surname Zhu?

There are some slight changes on both sides of the river, probably after two years, the trees on both sides of the river bank are more dense, and the aquatic plants are also very deep.

When we were about to enter the village of Taohuatan, the water and grass were more dense, which was already somewhat hindering the progress of the raft.

But this did not stump Zhu Zhen, who skillfully rowed the raft and carefully bypassed the aquatic plants.

Finally, about five minutes later, I saw what I had been missing for a long time—Peach Blossom Pond.

But what I saw in front of me was shocked.

What was supposed to be a thriving village is gone.

All I saw was a bare mountain, and the village, which had been built on the mountain, had become a dense jungle.
