"Whoop—whoa—"

Violent gasps came from his mouth, his heart pounded, and the sound of cheerful and light footsteps came from his ears. Despite this, Rui Gong felt that his body had just swept away the fatigue of running in the mountains at this moment, as light as a feather, as if every cell was as fresh as a new one, full of vitality.

The overwhelming darkness is crossed by colorful streamers; Consciousness returned to Rui's brain. "Where is this? Why am I running...... Where am I going......"

"Little Rui Gong! Come on! A kind voice sounded ahead. Rui Gong trembled, a strong grievance instantly gushed out from her heart, tears filled her eyes, she suddenly quickened her pace and ran towards the voice, her throat was stuck in her inner cry, "Grandma! I'm coming! Wait for me! ”

"Little Rui Gong! Come here! Let's go home! "The breeze blows, and the scent of flowers hits. In the dark, the pink peach blossom petals fluttered gently in the air, reflecting the wrinkled face of my grandmother more kindly and gently.

"Grandma! Grandmother! Ree replied with a loud throat as she ran, blinking her eyes vigorously, trying not to let tears spill out of her eyes.

As in the memories that have repeatedly appeared in dreams for so many years, under the largest peach tree in Taowu Village, the old house with white walls and black tiles is drifting with misty green smoke, faintly mixed with the fragrance of food, grandma half-squatted and smiled and beckoned to Rui Gong, "Grandma take Xiao Rui Gong home!" ”

Rui Gong opened her hands, plunged into her grandmother's arms, hugged her grandmother's legs, the familiar smell and body temperature made Rui Gong full of security, she raised her face and smiled, "Grandma, go home and eat fragrantly!" ”

Rui Gong's petite body followed her grandmother, walking awkwardly forward, the familiar scent of aquatic plants and earth coming to her nose. What an unforgettable breath, Rui Gong's heart stirred. But in a flash, the figure of the grandmother disappeared, and the eyes were empty. In the gently floating clouds, Taowu Village, the hometown of this dream, spread out in front of her eyes like ink and blue without warning, which caught people off guard.

The scenery of Taowu Village is sometimes hazy and dreamy, and sometimes it is clear and awe-inspiring. For example, at this moment, the world in front of Rui Gong suddenly became clear and clear.

Heaven and earth are as clean as washing, and everything seems to be filtered under the illumination of the red sunset. The lush forests of the mountains swayed in the evening breeze, and the greenery was dotted with a little color. Several white waterfalls formed by the melting snow and ice on the top of the mountain hang on the cliffs, they are separated by craggy cyan strange rocks on the mountainside, and at the gentle slope of the foot of the mountain converge into a gurgling spring, reflecting the sunset, along the mossy bluestone ancient canal into the distance.

Next to the ancient canal is a long bluestone road, and at one end of the stone road is a simple wooden hut, which is the only station in the valley to connect with the outside world. The station was deserted, as if it were a forgotten area. But in the blink of an eye, there was a hovership, the body shining a suffocating silver-white color.

The doors slowly opened. But no one got out of the car. Time seems to stand still at this moment, and everything is frozen. I don't know how long it took, but Rui Gong seemed to feel that her eyes were starting to count, and the car door slowly closed. In the blink of an eye, the aircraft disappeared, and the station was as empty as a set in a movie shot.

Rui Geng hated this loneliness in his heart, hurriedly turned his head away, and hurriedly walked towards the village. Her steps have grown, and her body seems to have grown a little longer, and she no longer stumbles like before, and can move forward briskly.

She looked up, only to be confronted by the annoying mist, and the air made everything wet. Because the village is located in the embrace of the valley, the mouth of the valley is narrow and the airflow is impassable, so that every morning and evening when the water is steaming, the mountain village is covered with a thin veil, like a fantasy, like a labyrinth, and a foggy piece.

In the faint floating light, several houses with white walls and black tiles faintly appeared. The narrow stone road is a little slippery, all the way to the valley mouth, and at the end of the road is Taowu Village in the sea of clouds and fog.

Patches of red peach blossom forests stand on the gentle slope behind the village, and no matter what time of year, they are in full bloom. Rui Gong looked at the pink that loomed in the distance, and the unique fragrance of peach blossoms wafted through her nose.

At this moment, the mountain wind blew, and the petals fell from the slope like snow, drifting to the village at the bottom of the valley, and the green bluestone road was smeared into a different kind of romance.

The sun sank to the other side of the mountain, revealing only a hint of red tops, and the originally noisy barking of chickens and dogs quieted down as the sky darkened, and the fog dissipated. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the village was once again restored to its clear and bright background.

Rui Gong hurried to her grandmother's house, turned around in the village, and easily touched the familiar courtyard. Grandma's voice came from inside the door—

"Rui Geng, don't be a picky eater!" In the yard, the peach blossoms are still there. Grandma sat at the table and watched with a smile as Rui Nai took small bites of food into her mouth.

"Grandma! I want to hear fun stories! The young man sat on the small bench, struggling to reach his arms to the bowl and spoon on the stone table, staring at his grandmother with a moist look in her big bright eyes.

"But it's not bedtime yet!"

"But I want to hear it now!" Rui Gong's big eyes rolled, put down his rice bowl, pouted and said coquettishly, "Rui Gong wants to listen to interesting stories!" If it's not fun, don't eat! ”

"Okay, okay, you eat obediently." Looking at the lovely granddaughter, the grandmother added some vegetables to Rui Gong's bowl and said slowly: "While you eat, grandma will tell you."

"Good!" Rui Gong immediately took a big bite of rice, and muttered, "Grandma, look! I took a big bite! ”

Grandma's eyes narrowed and smiled into a slit: "Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a warrior who was burly and powerful, and he felt that there was nothing in the world that he could not do, so he ......"

And he chased after the sun with his cane! Then he drank all the water from the river, and finally turned into a large peach forest! His name is Kuafu! Grandmother! I've heard this! ”

"That'...... The grandmother changed one, Shennong Yandi had a daughter named Nuwa, and one day she came to the coast of the East China Sea to play in the water......"

Then she turned into a beautiful bird after drowning, and every day she thought about filling the East China Sea with small stones, and this story teaches us to have perseverance and will...... Grandma, you've told these stories a hundred and eighty times, and I can memorize them! ”

"Okay, you eat first, grandma will think about it again," grandma smiled a little helplessly, looking at her granddaughter's quirky little face, she groaned for a long time, and said slowly: "Then today grandma tells a story you haven't heard before, the story of our Taowu Village......"

"A long, long time ago, there was a cowherd baby in Taowu Village, one day, after he herded the cows, he did not go home to eat as usual, but crossed the creek to the foot of Qifeng Mountain......

"Grandma! Why did he go there? Don't you say you can't go there! ”

"For the evening sky was beautiful, and everywhere there were red clouds, which fluttered very quickly, like a great bird of fire. The moon appeared in the sky early, very big, very round, even the valley above can be seen, the cow herd thought that standing on Qifeng Mountain should be able to see more clearly......"

"Wow! Rui Gong has not seen it! ”

"This is also the first time that the cowherd baby has seen such a celestial appearance in Taohuawu, he has only heard the old people in the village mention it before, and they say ......"

"And then? And then what? Did he see the Valley of the Moon? ”

"Hmm...... Then, then he began to climb Fengshan, and when the cow herd was halfway up, it was already dark. He was wondering if he should continue to climb up or go down the hill and go home for dinner......"

"Climb! Crawl! Crawl! Rui Gong indiscriminately sent a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth.

"Okay, then you have to eat, herd the cow and continue to climb the mountain...... However, at that time, the cow herding baby was a little tired, so she went to the stream under the waterfall to find water to drink. He was filling the water when he suddenly heard a strange cry above his head, and when he looked up, he saw a little white fox watching him by the waterfall! ”

"Wow! White fox! ”

"Yes, white fox, with a silver glow. The little fox saw that the cowherd baby was looking at it, so he turned into a silver-white light and ran to the depths of Qifeng Mountain......"

"Grandma! Is there really a glowing white fox? I want to see it too! ”

"Yes, you just need to eat obediently every day, and when Xiao Rui Gong becomes an adult, grandma will take you to see the white fox......"

"That's a hook!" Rui Gong stretched out her little hand, hooked her grandmother's fingers, and said excitedly, "When I become an adult, my grandmother will show me the white fox!" ”

For some reason, the words "white fox" were like a bullet, hitting Rui Gong's heart, and she couldn't help but feel a flutter. What excites her so much?
