There is a "fountain spring" at the entrance of Yuquan Village, Qiongcheng County. The mouth of the spring, which is only the size of a bucket, sits on a mountain seat two meters above the ground, and after each heavy rain, the spring water overflows from the mouth of the cave, and schools of live fish gush out with the water, hence the name.

Shan Yue'er was attracted by this chic village name at first, and if you look closely, this place is really a rare place with mountains and rivers in the background. After getting out of the carriage and looking at the lush greenery on the slow slope, Shan Yue'er said to Yun Shifei beside her: "Brother Yun, this is it!" ”

Yun Shifei saw the excitement in her eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, let's find a family to ask, see if there is a vacant house, and live first." If you are not used to living there, build a new house for yourself in a few days. ”

Shan Yue'er and his party came to the door of a nearby farmhouse and knocked on the bamboo door.

It was still early in the morning, and the laborers at home had not yet gone out to work. The man who came to answer the door was a peasant man in his forties, probably because of his long years of work, his body was strong and his face was dark. Seeing Shan Yue'er and the others, a look of surprise appeared on his slanted face, and then asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

I don't know if my glasses were stung by the morning sun, or if I heard an unfamiliar voice, Xiao Zao'er suddenly cried with a flat mouth at this time.

Shan Yue'er felt embarrassed, and hurriedly stroked her son's back and hummed a nursery rhyme softly, trying to soothe her son's uneasiness.

Yu Qingfeng said to the man: "Uncle, we are passing by here, and we feel that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and we want to live here for a while, but I don't know if there are idle houses in this village?" ”

The man carefully looked at Yu Qingfeng from head to toe, and then looked at the master and servant of Shan Yue'er who were patiently coaxing the morning, and finally said: "What is it to stand with a child in your arms, let's go into the house first!" ”

Yu Qingfeng hurriedly thanked him, only to hear the man shouting at the house: "Old woman, here are the guests!" ”

A tall and thin middle-aged woman came out of the door, and when she saw Shan Yue'er and her party, she smiled sharply: "Where did you come from, forgive me for not welcoming you from afar!" ”

Shan Yue'er and his party were allowed into the house, and their family was eating. In addition to this middle-aged couple, there are also their three children, two sons, all of whom are fifteen or sixteen-year-old young people, who are strong and slender, and a female doll, seven or eight years old, who looks very pink.

The hostess saw that her three children had taken up more than half of the kang and that several guests had no place to stay, so she began to give orders: "Big cow, second cow, you two will go to work in the field first after eating, and the little girl will also follow, pick some wild vegetables and come back, and give these distinguished guests a fresh taste." ”

The two young men who were still munching and swallowing a moment ago poured the porridge in the bowl into their mouths in an instant, got off the kang with a red face, and went out.

The female doll who was called a little girl had a lot of movements, she pulled out the last bite of porridge, came to Shan Yue'er with curiosity, looked at Xiao Zao'er in her arms on tiptoe, and said in a milky voice: "Sister, is this little doll hungry, do you want to drink porridge?" ”

Shan Yue'er smiled: "He is still too young to drink porridge." He's either hungry or a little angry! ”

Xiao Niu'er carefully touched Zao'er's little face, and said softly: "It's still a temperamental doll!" ”

The little girl's mother was afraid that Shan Yue'er would mind strangers touching the child, and she just wanted to go up to stop her daughter. No, Xiao Zao'er, who was still crying a moment ago, actually stopped crying, and even grinned at the little girl in front of him.

Shan Yue'er was also made to laugh and cry by her son's reaction, and sighed: "This kid, at such a young age, knows how to smile at a beautiful sister." ”

When they heard this, they all laughed. Even the father of the chick with a serious face softened his expression a lot.

The woman neatly picked up the plates and bowls on the kang, and said to Shan Yue'er and the others: "A few people sit on the kang, our thatched hut and thatched hut has nothing to entertain, I'll cook some thin porridge and use some of it!" ”

She looked at Hai standing under Kang Yan'er's little daughter and said, "Niuzi, go and find your brothers." ”

The little girl reluctantly glanced at Xiao Zao'er in Shan Yue'er's arms, agreed, and went by herself.

The little girl's mother went to make breakfast for the guests, and only the little girl's father accompanied her. Yun Shifei arched his hand and said, "Uncle, I'm bothered, I don't know what to call you for a long time?" ”

The man replied: "The surname Bai in this village is the big surname, I am the patriarch of this village, my surname is Bai, and my name is Bai Cheng." ”

Yun Shifei saluted again and said: "It turned out to be the Bai patriarch, and he was rude, and his surname is Yun." He pointed to Shan Yue'er and Xiaoxiao, and said, "These two are sisters." ”

Bai Cheng was a little surprised in his heart, he saw Shan Yue'er holding the child, thinking that it was a young couple with a child and a little girl, now that they are brothers and sisters, he didn't ask much, he responded vaguely, and asked: "Listening to the accent, you are not locals, why do you want to live here temporarily?" ”

Yun Shifei glanced at Shan Yue'er and said, "We originally came to look for relatives, but we haven't found it, and my sister has a lot of inconvenience with her children, so I want to settle down temporarily." ”

Bai Cheng sighed, fumbled with the cigarette pouch and began to light a cigarette. There is a way to be a cigarette after a meal, happy like a fairy. It's just that as soon as he took a sip, he was dodged by his wife, who had gone and returned.

"You dead old man, you were secretly smoking in the blink of an eye." As he spoke, he glared at his old man with disgust. He said to Shan Yue'er and the others: "If you want to stay, just look for my old man, there is nothing in this village that he doesn't know." ”

Bai Cheng didn't know whether he was frightened by the smoke or his wife's words, so he coughed heartbreakingly.

Bai Changshi nagged with him while going back to him: "It's really bad to know that you have to smoke when you cough." ”

Seeing that Bai Cheng easily stopped coughing, Shan Yue'er took the opportunity to say: "Patriarch Bai, although we are new to this place, we really like it, and I hope you must help us." ”

Bai Cheng took the tea bowl in his wife's hand and took a big sip, but said, "But there is no idle house in the village for you to live in right now." ”

Hearing this, Shan Yue'er couldn't help but be disappointed, guessing that people might be unwilling to help find an excuse, and just wanted to say something more, he saw Bai Changshi knock Bai Cheng's shoulder hard, and shouted: "What do you mean that there is no idle house?" Didn't the old Li family in the front yard move to the city for a while? I said old man, people are dragging their families to beg us, we can't help us! ”

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Shan Yue'er hurriedly said: "Patriarch Bai doesn't have to worry about the rent, we will definitely pay it." ”

Yun Shifei also said: "Yes, yes, I hope that Patriarch Bai will help." ”

Bai Cheng couldn't shirk it, waited for his wife to glance at it, and said, "A woman's family, there are you everywhere!" Why don't you go and serve food to the guests, do you want people to go hungry to see the house? ”

Seeing that Bai Cheng was finally relieved, Bai Chang went to serve porridge happily.

After a simple breakfast, Shan Yue'er and the others followed Bai Cheng to see the Li family's house, although there were only three rooms, it was a little cramped to live in. But the house was clean and tidy, and all the furniture was complete, so Shan Yue'er immediately decided to live in.

After leaving the Jade King's Mansion, a new life began in this way.
