"Young man...... Lad......"

"Wake up...... Wake up......"

In a trance, Shenchen felt that his shoulder was gently patted a few times, and although he felt the strength, he couldn't feel the nerve sensation coming from his body. Then I moved my body, but I couldn't move, as if my body didn't listen to it. There were shouts over and over again in his ears, and he selectively tried to open his eyes, and finally, trembling all over, his body recovered.

I saw that what appeared in my sight was an uncle in a white vest, with dark skin, wearing a straw hat, and holding a hoe in his right hand.

Maybe it's because of the ground? His back was very dirty with dirt, but he looked quite energetic.

Shenchen shook his head violently to sober himself up, then stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, uncle! We're from out of town......" As he spoke, Liuyue behind him fell to the ground hard and woke up because he had no backrest.

"Young man, this mountain road is so difficult to walk, how did you get in?" Uncle Farmer asked.

Shenchen first scratched the back of his head, and then smirked: "Naturally, you climbed in along the cliff!"

"Crawling in?!" The peasant uncle was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his thumb at the latter, and said, "Young man, you are amazing! For so many years, no one has been able to climb in from the edge of a cliff...... Well done you guys! ”

"Uncle, how did you get out? Could it be that he also climbed in from the edge of a cliff? After Liuyue woke up, she couldn't help but ask on the side.

"Of course not." The uncle replied, "Our village! Isolated from the world...... Think about it, we have water and food here, and we have nothing to do outside? There was really nothing to be found here, so we swam out along the brook at the west end. As for the cliffside...... No one has ever walked before! ”

"I see!" Both of them nodded incomprehensibly.

So this village is really isolated from the rest of the world, huh?

Is it any wonder that the state does not give poverty alleviation policies? If there is no road, how can you alleviate poverty?

"By the way, you two haven't said what you're doing here? Looking for someone? ”

Shenchen immediately shook his head and said, "We're just here to visit, and we want to get to know your village...... Also, the scenery customs here. Seeing that the peasant uncle was so kind, it was not difficult to find out who the people in this village were, and the former did not want them to be involved in this battle, so he had to hide it.

"That's a good feeling!" The peasant uncle laughed heartily, patted his chest, and said with a smile: "You are looking for me!" I'm familiar with the scenery in the village...... Also, what customs you are talking about, I have lived for so many years, I understand them thoroughly, and I will tell you about them. ”

Is it such a coincidence?

Actually, you met a guide?

Shenchen and Liuyue glanced at each other, and that look was like saying, since there is a ready-made one here, it is not good to trouble others anymore, otherwise the more people know about it, the greater the harm.

Shenchen nodded slightly, looked at the uncle and said, "Since that's the case, uncle, then I'll trouble you."

The uncle hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No trouble, no trouble!" - You two, do you want to listen to the customs first? Or do you want to visit the scenery first? ”

"Let's take a look at the scenery first! …… By the way, uncle, what do you call it? ”

"The old man's surname is Chen, and his single name is a mang."

"Oh! Uncle Chen? …… That, uncle, what kind of scenery do you have here? ”

"That's a lot! There are gardens, streams and rivers......"

"Shall we go and see the garden first?"

"No problem! Walking! ”

……

This is the Ghost Inn

The two of them, Conversion and Ice Dream, are making up for the three big pits left by the Underworld, Ice Dream is responsible for Mud, and Conversion is responsible for filling the pits.

The two of them were so busy for more than an hour.

"It's finally done." He threw away the guy in his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his face with the towel around his neck.

"I'm tired!" Bingmeng moved the recliner over, lay on it, and said while drinking water: "I have never done such tiring work, and I am not so tired from serving dishes."

"If you're tired, you can sleep for a while!" He sat directly on the ground and said, "After all, you haven't been here for a long time, and you haven't fully adapted to this place...... In our line of work, the most taboo thing is to shout tired, because once you are tired, the organs of the body will think about how to release yourself, and when the time comes, you will not be able to bear any hardship. Me! That's how it came about! ”

"You?" Bing Meng remembered what Shenchen said before for a while, and asked, "Listen to Mingchen, you have only been here for a year?" Did you also belong to the underworld before? ”

When she asked, Conversion did not rush to answer, but was silent.

What happened to him?

Is there something on your mind?

Or is it ......

"I'm sorry!" Regardless of whether you poke someone's wound or not, it's better to apologize first, "Since you don't want to say it, don't say it, I don't want to know anyway." ”

Silence, silence!

Why don't you speak? You can't be mad at me, right?

"Do you know how old I am?" Just thinking about how to persuade, the silent Confucius finally spoke, he looked at Bing Meng with a dejected gaze, and said, "When you first saw me, you must have thought I was an uncle who was dozens of years old, right?" …… But I'm only twelve! ”

"Ten...... Twelve?! ”

"I'll tell you everything about me......"

"That was a year ago, and I was just starting junior high school......"

……

Time: 12 noon

Location: Mengfan Village

This is Chen Mang's home.

He is the only one in the family, his parents died early when he was a child, he did not marry a wife, he has no children, he has always lived alone, going to the field in the morning, drinking a cup of tea in the teahouse in the afternoon, and lying on the roof at night to watch the moonlight.

This man's life is not bad!

However, it is inevitable that there will be some loneliness.

Mingchen and Liuyue sat around the table, Chen Mang brought the boiled teapot over, added water to the two, and then sat down, and said with a smile: "The hospitality is not good, please forgive me!"

"Where are the words?" Shenchen smiled embarrassedly, picked up the black bowl on the table, and said, "It's already very good that you are willing to let us sit at your house, and it should be us who should say thank you!"

"That's it!" Liuyue pandered: "I've never seen someone as kind as you, I really should thank you well!" - You say, what do you like? We'll get it for you. ”

Is there a reward for helping people?

"W-what's so embarrassing?"

Well?

Do you really want something?

Seeing that Chen Mang's face was a little moved, he naturally guessed something in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay!" Just say it! If you can help, we will definitely help you! ”

Chen Mang rubbed his hands together for a while, and finally couldn't help but say, "Actually, I, I, I really have something I want you to bring for me."

"What's that?"

"Yes...... Be...... Peach blossom... Tree. ”

"Peach Tree!" Both of them were shocked.

Originally, they thought that this Chen Mang would ask for some high-end things, but when they heard the word 'peach tree', the two of them were completely blindsided, this person is not from our world, right?

Chen Mang heard the surprised voices of the two, and the excitement in his heart went down instantly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If, if it's not easy to get, don't bring it!" Anyway, it's okay to have it or not......"

Speaking of this, both of them laughed out loud.

Shenchen patted Chen Mang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Uncle! Don't worry, this matter is on us! ”

"Really?!"

"Really! Rest assured! ”
