Chapter 13: The Peach Blossom Spring

On a country road on the mountains near the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor, a taxi was driving on the road, and it was in the midst of a bump in the road.

Next to the road is a babbling stream, which disappears in the shade of the trees, and the surface of the water reflects bright light from time to time in the sunlight.

The sound of small animals squirming in the woods is still far away from the people, the birds in the trees, the sound of animals rubbing against dead branches and leaves under the trees, and the sound of rivers colliding with each other.

These sounds are intertwined, not cluttered, but have a natural flavor, and everything seems easy-going and intimate.

Suddenly, the taxi braked sharply and stopped on the side of the road, because a squirrel suddenly emerged from the bushes on the side of the road, ready to touch the steel monster that was ten thousand times heavier than him.

"Two, I'll stop and say, this is really not a place worth camping, it's far away, although the scenery looks good, but after a long time, that's it.

There are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer, and there is no adequate preparation in advance, and you come here not to enjoy, but to come to suffer, and you young people go to the city to watch a movie, eat a meal, and then sleep together. ”

The taxi driver persuaded, looked at the empty hands of the two people in the back row, and added the latter sentence.

"Uncle, let's take a stroll around here, take a picture and then go back." Zhang Rui replied with a smile, he didn't expect the little red dot to point to the deep mountain and old forest, and the key is that they are not prepared at all, and they don't know how to deal with the forest at night.

As he finished speaking, he gave Xiao Yu a look with his eyes, and asked Xiao Yu to continue to show the driver the way.

"Master, drive a little further and you'll be there." Xiaoyu sweetly showed the master the way.

"Alas, you young people are getting better and better at playing, don't stay in a comfortable big city, but want to run to the deep mountains and old forests where birds don't, just like when I was a child, I wish I wanted to go to the city every day." The driver shook his head, started the car again, and drove under the guidance of Xiaoyu.

After driving for a while, under a big number, Xiaoyu asked the driver to stop the car, and the two got out of the car and paid a little more to the driver.

"This is my phone, if you want to leave, call this number, I can pick you up, if I am not available, I can arrange for a colleague to pick up." The master took the money, then handed a business card to Zhang Rui and said to Zhang Rui.

"Thank you, master." Zhang Rui took the postcard, watched the driver restart the car, then turned around, stretched out a hand from the window and waved at the person to say goodbye.

Zhang Rui and Xiaoyu also stood on the tree and waved to the master, and the taxi drove away slowly, and was soon blocked by the cluttered woods.

"Where are we going now?" Zhang Rui looked around, except for a country road that was inaccessible, there were countless bushes and trees growing crookedly nearby.

Xiao Yu took the miniature radar and studied it, and then determined the direction and distance of the final destination.

"There is still a distance of almost a kilometer, hold on and you will be there, Brother Zhang Rui!

In this direction, let's go. Xiao Yu pointed to a direction and said to Zhang Rui.

"Okay." Zhang Rui just bought a backpack on his back, with a few bottles of water and a little food in it, just in case, if there are no resources, it can last for a day or so, and it is really used.

The backpack was originally intended to be carried by Xiaoyu, but Zhang Rui's dignity as a man did not allow him to let a girl carry water and food, and he walked on the side empty-handed, even if this girl's physical strength was much better than his.

Xiao Yu took out an alloy dagger she carried with her to cut through the vines that were entwined between the trees, and walked into the vast primeval forest with Zhang Rui.

What awaited them in front of them, what their purpose was, neither of them knew it, and they came as soon as their heads were hot.

An hour later, the two men finally rushed out of the vast primeval forest, and the destination shown on the miniature radar was no more than 100 meters away from them.

But when Zhang Rui and Xiaoyu came out and saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned, in front of them was a village with strange traffic and chickens and dogs.

It is hard to imagine that they will see a complete and harmonious village in the depths of Lishan.

Not far away were the peasants working in the fields, and when the peasants saw them coming, they all stood up bent down, greeted Zhang Rui and Xiaoyu, as if they were very familiar with each other, and then bent down to work.

Zhang Rui and Xiaoyu felt a little confused, but they still returned the salute with an embarrassed smile.

"Boy, this isn't where you're supposed to be right now." A vicissitudes of voice came from behind Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui hurriedly turned around and looked.

An old man in ragged clothes with a straw hat lay under the big banyan tree beside him, spit out a puff of smoke from his mouth, and then took a puff of watersha in his hand with enjoyment, and spit it out again, repeating the above action.

"You are?" Zhang Rui didn't dare to act rashly for a while, he felt that the other party might be unusual, as if he was waiting for them here.

"Me?" When the old man heard Zhang Rui's question, he didn't smoke the hookah anymore, took the hookah in his hand, and then knocked it heavily on the tree, Zhang Rui felt that this would break the cigarette gun.

But his fears were apparently unwarranted, and the cigarette gun knocked on the tree without a single change, but knocked off the bark for a small section.

The old man leaned on a cane next to him and stood up tremblingly, Zhang Rui saw the old man like this, and hurriedly went up to help.

Seeing Zhang Rui coming over, the old man waved his hand, signaling that Zhang Rui didn't need to come over.

"It's old, it's useless." After the old man stood up, he walked slowly with a cane.

stopped a few steps away from Zhang Rui and Xiaoyu, the straw hat covered the old man's head, Zhang Rui couldn't see the old man's appearance, but he felt that the old man was looking him up and down through the straw hat.

"You're much more reliable than your old man." The old man looked at Zhang Rui, as if he had looked at Zhang Rui's whole body, and knew his details very well.

Nodding in satisfaction.

"You know my dad?" Zhang Rui looked confused, in a deep mountain and old forest, it is estimated that his father has never been to a place where he met an old man, saying that he knew his father, and no one dared to believe it.

"It's not just acquaintance, your dad back then...

Alas, it's all in the past, needless to say. The old man was halfway through his words, and suddenly stopped speaking, revealing a full sense of loneliness and loneliness between his words.

"You can call me...

Call me Grandpa Zulong! The old man said this with a little smile in his words.

The old man slowly took off the hat on his head, and under the hat was an old but majestic dragon head.

It's just that the lewd smile on the old man's face, coupled with the wrinkles on his face, is like a blooming chrysanthemum, which completely destroys the old man's majestic appearance.
