Lu Yu said: "Okay, if you continue to practice, you will understand this truth one day." Anyway, you remember, if this dragon crocodile really shouldn't live in this world, then they will naturally die one day, but it shouldn't be us who let them die? ”

Yan Xiding asked, "Who could that be?" ”

"It could be some other beast, or it could be some kind of disaster." Yan Xi'an understood what Lu Yu said, she said: "Just like in the past few years, this day has been cold for a while and hot for a while, and the dragon crocodile must have died a lot, and the same is true for other beasts." ”

Yan Xiding said: "People die more, is this also the so-called life?" ”

This time, Lu Yu didn't answer immediately, he looked up at the clear and clear sky, and said, "Maybe, it's just that this day and that day, I'm afraid it's not the same day." He remembered what he had seen in his dreams, those immortals who had annihilated human nature, and they might have the ability to create great disasters to bring disaster to the world.

The four of them were silent, and the wooden platoon continued downstream. After rowing out for dozens of miles, the river in front of him was suddenly covered with grass, and it appeared on the water.

The aquatic plants are also withered and yellow, slender aquatic plants, the thickness of the little finger, seven or eight feet high when exposed to the water, densely packed, almost blocking the surface of the river.

"What kind of grass is this? Why so many? "Lu Yu doesn't know.

"Uncle, this is a reed, haven't you seen it?" Yan Xi'an knew that the aquatic plants on the river in front of him were reeds.

Lu Yu had indeed never seen a reed, but he had heard of it and knew that it was a water weed. He scratched his head and smiled, and said, "There are aquatic plants in front, so this river shouldn't be deep." After saying that, he used the trunk of a eucalyptus tree to reach the bottom of the river and try it, and sure enough, the bottom of the river was less than a foot from the water.

The further you paddle, the shallower the river becomes. Fortunately, the wooden raft is wide and the draft is not deep, so even the shallows can float and paddle. Lu Yu propped up the fence and rowed the wooden row directly towards the reeds.

The raft burrowed into the reeds, squeezed the reeds to separate to the sides, and forced them through. Yan Xi'an glared at Lu Yu and said that he was too rough, and the reeds were squeezed away and bounced back, scraping on the four of them.

The reeds were thick, but not very large, and through the reeds, the front of the four suddenly opened up.

The place where the four of them were was a lake, a very wide and calm lake.

This is not Pyeongtaek Lake, but this lake is as wide as Pyeongtaek Lake. The surface of the lake is sparkling, the wind and waves are calm, and at a glance, the distance and the near are as calm as a mirror.

Looking further away, the lake is a series of low mountains, the mountains are blue and blue, and under a few green mountains in the distance, a few wisps of cooking smoke can be seen rising in the distance.

This lake is considered to be on the edge of Yangshan Mountain, and the hilly peaks on all sides are no longer high or steep, and the foot of the lake is obviously inhabited.

Yan Xi was very happy, and he said to Lan Shaofang: "Shaofang, do you remember here? This might be your hometown! ”

"I don't remember." Lan Shaofang's eyebrows tightened, looked at the smoke in the distance, and said to Lu Yu: "Brother Da Yu, let's go over there and take a look, there are people over there." ”

"Okay, let's take a look." Lu Yu propped up the wooden raft and rowed towards the place where the smoke rose from the cooking stove in the west, his eyesight was the best, and he could already see that there was a village there, and there was a circle of cyan stone walls outside the village.

"I didn't think there was a lake here, and I think Shaofang's hometown is very likely to be nearby." Yan Xiding was very excited, as if he was the one who wanted to find his hometown.

Yan Xi'an said: "Find someone first, and inquire." It's just that Shaofang has left home since she was a child, even if this is really her hometown, then the people in her hometown may not recognize her, and they may not know whose family she is. ”

Lu Yu said: "Yes, besides, something must have happened to the Shaofang family, so that she would be sent into the mountains and forests and let her fend for herself." After a pause, Lu Yu smiled again and said: "Shao Fang will not die, not only survived in the mountains and forests, but also had the opportunity to meet his family, which can be regarded as a blessing." ”

"Of course, the so-called catastrophe will not die, there will be a blessing in the future." Yan Xiding laughed, and said: "Shaofang, don't worry, even if you can't find your family, we are all your family." ”

Lan Shaofang smiled slightly and nodded.

Although this lake is wide, the four of Lu Yu do not want to cross the lake, but to go to the west lake, where the distance between the mouth of the Wudu River and the lake is only a dozen miles.

The raft drove quickly, and it didn't take long for it to anchor in a shallow beach by the lake. The shallow water and mud were so deep that the rafts made of thick wooden bundles could not row any further, and at this time, there were still a few feet from the shore, and the four of them could only jump from the rafts to the shore.

After going ashore, Lu Yu took the lead, and the four of them walked towards the village in front. From a distance, the village in front of it is quite large, so big, there are countless houses, the scale is far larger than Yangshan Village, which is not small, and most of the houses there are much higher than the houses in Yangshan Village, one by one, most of them are pavilions.

"This place is also remote, why are the people here so rich? The house they live in looks even better than mine. "Yan Xiding's hometown in Jinhua City is wide, but it is only one floor.

Lu Yu said: "Maybe it's the people who live by the lake, and their lives are better." "Most of the people in the villages on the other side of Pingze Lake are much richer than the villagers in Yangshan Village.

Yan Xiding said: "Eh, Shaofang is still the daughter of a rich family, smiling." ”

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Of course, the jade pendant around her neck is worth a lot of money, where can ordinary people wear such a good thing." ”

Lan Shaofang listened, took out the jade pendant hanging close to her body, took it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, and then said, "Is this thing very valuable?" Then I'll give it to Xiding. ”

"Shake Fang! You can't give him away, it's something your family left you. Yan Xi'an felt that Lan Shaofang seemed to be a little stupid, for her, something incomparably precious, she could casually say that she wanted to give it away.

Yan Xiding was shocked, but he couldn't stand it up, he laughed a few times, and said: "Shao Fang, if you give me this thing, I definitely can't ask for it, but you are willing to give it to me, what does it mean?" It means that we have a good relationship, right? ”

Yan Xi'an glanced at his younger brother and said lightly, "shameless."

Lan Shaofang smiled sweetly and said, "Of course we are very good, and Xi'an, and Brother Da Yu, we are all very good, we are good...... Best friend. ”

While they were talking, the four of them walked to the edge of the village. Yangshan Village is surrounded by wooden walls and bamboo walls, and this village is surrounded by a circle of neat bluestone walls, but the stone walls are not very high, just level with the top of Lu Yu's head.

When I found the entrance to the stone wall, there was no door at the entrance, let alone a gatekeeper.

Lu Yu and the four of them went straight into the village, and then found that this huge village was actually very quiet, and no one outside could see it. Lu Yu listened carefully and found that there were only a few houses with people. Obviously, the natural disasters in recent years have not been able to ignore this lakeside village.

So Lu Yu took Yan Xi'an and them to the nearest "manned" house.

At this time, it was almost evening, and the chimney on the kitchen of this family was smoking, Lu Yu walked to the door of their yard, and saw that the courtyard door was closed, so he went to buckle the door.

The village was quiet, the sound of the door was clear, and it didn't take long for someone to open the door.

The person who opened the door was a young man, and when this person opened the door, Lu Yu said, "Hello brother, what kind of place is this?" ”

The latter looked at Lu Yu, and then at the other three behind Lu Yu, frowned and said, "Brother, where did you come from?" I don't know what this place is, what are you doing here? ”

Lu Yu didn't know how to answer for a while, so he only said: "We floated down from the river in the east, and when we saw someone here, we came to take a look." ”

"The river to the east? That's the Mofan River, you came from the Mofan River? ”

Lu Yu nodded, thinking to himself, "This person is quite careful. ”

The latter looked suspicious and muttered: "There is no one for dozens of miles up the Mo Fan River, where did you really come from?" ”

"It's true, we rowed it all day to get here." Lu Yu thought for a while, and then said: "We are from Jinhua County, dare to ask if this is Jinhua County?" ”

"No, we are under the jurisdiction of Changding County, and Jinhua County and we are not in the same state capital, so it's a far away." The future life knows a lot, and there are more doubts on his face.
