"Of course." I don't know when Xiaoyou has come back, it is estimated that he was standing behind the rockery just now, and then he walked out naturally and held a carved mahogany box in his hand. She walked to the stone table with a smile, "It's because I know that the trustee introduced me to Ah Xi and the owner of the farm, don't look at the rules of this small farm." It is said that it is divided into two courtyards, the front yard is for some ordinary passers, and the backyard is for some people with status. ”

It's clear she's alluding to those of us who live in the front yard being different from them, but it's no wonder that people are hostile and unceremonious to let someone speak. Others ridiculed and ridiculed and came vaguely, but he was directly the other side.

Cen Xi naturally sensed that there was something in Xiao You's words, and glanced at Gu Xi's expression and took the initiative to divert the words: "I came here this time because I heard that the owner of this farm has a mountain, and there are some buildings with great archaeological value on the mountain. But the owner of the village has a strange temperament, and several times he has been denied contact with people, and later I found out that the owner has an elder brother who is doing business abroad. So with the help of Mr. Ho's connections, he was able to get in touch with his brother, and he was able to facilitate the trip. Axi, you have a unique insight into the ancient world, how about you go up the mountain to see it when you have time? ”

Gu Xi tapped his fingers on the table, hooked his lips and said, "Except that I am not busy now, I will have something to do later." ”

Cen Xi proposed: "Then go now?" ”

"But this wine ......" Xiao You went to open the lid of the mahogany box, and a rich aroma of wine suddenly came to his nose. Cen Xi said: "It's not too late to drink the wine after you come back." She turned her eyes to look at He Zhixu, "Mr. He should also be with him." ”

He Zhixu thought about it and nodded silently. So the cadres got up one after another, led the way by Cen Xi, but they did not go back but walked towards the depths of the farmyard. After walking on the winding path for about ten minutes, I saw a bamboo door at the end of the front in the distance, and two burly people stood in front of the bamboo gate.

One of them frowned when he saw us approaching, and then asked, "Why did Miss Cen take so many people up the mountain?" ”

Cen Xi replied: "They are all my friends, and I invited them to go up the mountain to observe it together." ”

"But the boss has an order, at most two people can go up the mountain at a time."

Cen Xi looked back at Gu Xi, and saw that he was expressionless and noncommittal, and then turned to the man again: "You contact the owner of the village, and just say that a few friends want to go up and see it together." ”

The man hesitated, looking embarrassed. At this time, He Zhixu Qinghe spoke behind me: "I'll call the owner." The phone seemed to be connected quickly, He Zhixu walked to the side and said a few words, then came over and handed the mobile phone to the person guarding the bamboo gate, "The owner of the village asked you to listen to the phone." ”

When the man listened to the phone and handed the phone back to He Zhixu, his attitude became very humble: "I'm sorry, I offended." Come with me, a few of you. He turned around and pulled out a key, and the other took out the other, and the two of them inserted the key into the lock hole before the bamboo door was opened.

I was surprised to see this, but it was a bamboo door, and the lock used was actually a double key to open. If it is really strictly prohibited, shouldn't you install an anti-theft door or something, and then a fingerprint lock, isn't it more able to prevent outsiders from entering?

After we entered, Cen Xi talked about it: "The owner of the village is very cautious, it seems that the bamboo door seems to have no resistance, but the two people guarding the mountain are all invited martial arts masters, and the two keys are kept by them, even if they only get one of them, they can't open the door." This barrier is more about the people, not the door. ”

Qin Zhou's eyes rolled and he said with a smile: "Then it's better to install an anti-theft door, which saves worry and effort." ”

Cen Xi responded in a shallow voice: "The anti-theft door is certainly heavy, but for some people who can open the lock, it is just a waste product." In my opinion, even the fingerprint lock is not as good as the black gold cloud dragon lock on the bamboo door. ”

Qin Zhou sneered and didn't respond.

I understand the ridicule behind his sneer, whether it is the so-called Wujin Cloud Dragon Lock or these two fighting masters, even if they are double-guarded, didn't he and Gu Xi enter here last night? But I don't think those two people seem to know them, which means they didn't fight, so how did they get in?

The steps up the hill are paved with stone slabs, and the color has a sense of age. The trees on the left and right are clearly pruned, but I don't see anything unusual about the mountain so far.

Looking up, the mountain is not very high, and you can see the winding steps leading to the top.

It was almost dusk, and the sunset came from behind and hit the stone steps, stretching the shadows infinitely, and everyone was silent again, and there would be a feeling of loneliness.

Originally, Cen Xi was in the front to lead the way, Gu Xi and I walked in the middle, Qin Zhou was left behind, and He Zhixu and Xiaoyou walked in the back. But Cen Xi deliberately waited for a moment, and gradually she walked side by side with Gu Xi, and it became me walking with Qin Zhou.

Qin Zhou is not afraid of big things when watching dramas, and always comes to laugh at me mockingly. At the beginning of Yan Ruyi in the imperial capital, it was the so-called four beauties that he planned to compete for beauty, and then let Cen Xi appear in a glamorous manner, so he naturally knew that Cen Xi was interested in Gu Xi. At this time, Cen Xi was still getting closer to Gu Xi intentionally or unintentionally, how could he not come to make fun of me.

I looked at my nose and my heart, ignoring the annoying eyes around me.

Occasionally, I seem to hear Xiao You's whispering behind me, but it's so low that I can't hear it clearly. He Zhixu is basically a light response, and there won't be too many words.

After walking for about half an hour, I finally reached the top. Then, I watched in amazement at the scene not far away, almost subverting my perception of the plainness of the mountain, and I don't know if it was the uncle's hearsay or if he was wrong, this was not a castle, but the ruins of a stone city of unknown age.

Cen Xi turned around, "It's best not to touch anything when you go in, so as not to damage the cultural relics." Her gaze finally fixed on my face for two seconds before gently withdrawing it.

Except for me, the rest of the people here should have been here, although I don't know if Cen Xi said this to me, but looking at Qin Zhou's shocked face, I really feel a little fake. Or Gu Xi's calm side face looked normal, if he felt my gaze, his side eyes met me in the air, although it was only for a moment, but there was a clear stream slowly passing through my heart, soothing my impetuousness born of being teased and mocked by Qin Zhou.

Sometimes, there may be no words between the two of them, just a glance at each other.

When he was walking towards the ruins of the stone city, he heard Xiao You behind him whispering, "Know, what kind of dynasty do you think this will be?" Listening to He Zhixu, he didn't make a sound, it seemed that Xiao You touched a cold dingzi.

In the afterglow, the corners of Qin Zhou's mouth hooked, revealing a mocking smile.

Walking into the ruins, I looked around, here are mostly corridor columns, each corridor column is about five meters high, the diameter is large and small, the big one is nearly one meter or so, and the smallest one is also 30 centimeters thick. When I got closer, I found that these pillars were not directly stone pillars, but were built with small ashlar stones. It may be that the stones are faintly black over time, but this is not the most peculiar, what really makes people marvel......

Almost every pillar is made of ashlar stone to form a face, yes, a human face.

These people have different faces, some have short eyebrows, some have long eyebrows, some have large eyes, some have thin eyes, but they have one common feature: that is, they have a black gold stone ring on their mouths.

In my scarce knowledge of history, I can't think of any dynasty in which people would have such strange costumes. At one point, it was speculated that it would be an ethnic minority, and then it was their custom to wear a ring on their lips.

Just when I was attracted by these peculiar faces, I suddenly heard Cen Xi asking: "Ah Xi, could this be a cultural site left by a certain tribe that lived on this mountain a long time ago?" ”

This question coincides with what I just thought, close to the border of Yunnan, and there are more ethnic groups in this area. Not to mention the age, even the culture of many tribal groups is not well known.

Gu Xi didn't say anything about it, but said, "Let's go in and see it." ”

Cen Xi nodded in agreement. So the gang walked around the columns and walked inward, but it seems that they never encountered a castle that had been formed independently, and most of them were piled up with a section of wall, and then it broke and there was no roof. And I found that these are not all on the plane of the top of the mountain, but down to the south like terraces, erected layer by layer, and there are stone steps between the layers.

I'm a little unsure if this is the ruins of a stone city, and it's just a house without walls, but why is it still arranged in this way? Especially the stone steps that wind down, it looks abrupt, is it also the custom of this tribe? Look at the bottom of the mountain, there is a long river flowing crosswise, and the river is clear. A good landscape freehand painting.

Walking through the arch to the stone steps, Cen Xi asked Gu Xi, "Do you want to go down and have a look?" ”

Gu Xi shook his head: "No need." ”

"Then ......" Cen Xi only opened her mouth to say one word, and then paused, her eyes looked behind me.

Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and slowly turned my head, but I was stunned.
