Chapter XVII

Li Yan's heart jumped violently, Chen Yanfeng didn't hear it clearly, she could hear it clearly, the eldest lady's boat, the three-story building boat! The eldest lady with a three-story ship!

Such an eldest lady was detained by the Pei family in such a place as Cloudy Peak......

Li Yan only felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Abandoned the boat and got on the car, this time it was a real mule cart with people, Li Yan and Yushu, who had been in a trance, got into the car, stretched out his hand to lift all the curtains on all sides, stretched out his head, and looked at the scenery outside.

From Chaisang to Yuzhang City, along the way, village after village, there has been no broken population, this is the most prosperous place they have walked all the way, as far as their eyes can see.

A pastoral atmosphere of abundance and joy comes to the face, which makes people look at it and feel happy.

"It's almost there, tell me, where is your home? I've got to get you to my doorstep. Chen Yanfeng's eyes were shining, and his body was shaking with the aura of gossip.

"I'm telling you, just what you did...... I didn't say that you can't do that badly, I've never talked about those unruly rules, but it's really embarrassing, can you not punish at all? Definitely not, if the penalty is severe, I can also help you talk. ”

Chen Yanfeng's later words are sincere, these days of getting along, he really treats Li Yan as a friend now.

"I don't need to." Li Yan rejected him succinctly, and intuitively, she always felt that the problem she was about to face was not how to get Chen Yanfeng to help her, but how to make Chen Yanfeng not see it......

There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and in the distance, a green sky covered the sky.

Yushu snorted, before she shouted, Li Yan grabbed her, stared at her sternly, Yushu raised his hand and pointed to the front, opened his mouth, and Li Yan slapped Yushu's hand.

Chen Yanfeng looked at Li Yan and Yushu and laughed, "Scared, right?" That is the proudest camphor tree of Yuzhang people, the first time I saw it, I was also shocked, it was too big. ”

"Calm down!" Li Yan pressed Yushu's shoulder and commanded in a low voice.

"Yes." Yushu's voice choked, "It's our ......"

"I'll talk about it later." Li Yan intercepted Yushu's words, squinting at the huge camphor tree that was getting closer and closer.

The car was seven or eight steps away from the shadow of the camphor tree, stopped, Chen Yanfeng motioned to Li Yan, who was stunned, and Yushu, whose eyes were red, "Come down, walk over and take a look, such a camphor tree, although it is a tree, you must respect it." ”

Li Yan jumped out of the car, Yushu followed, Chen Yanfeng was in front, and entered the dense shade of the camphor tree, which was dotted with food stalls, every business was very good, and the fragrance under the tree was overflowing, and the laughter was noisy.

Chen Yanfeng didn't seem to see those snack stalls and diners, Li Yan was not in the mood to look more, the jade tree was in a trance, and there was only a camphor tree in his eyes.

Three people, passing through the food stalls and diners, made a beeline for the huge and awe-inspiring camphor tree in the middle.

After a few dozen steps, the roots of the camphor tree burst out, and it was not good for people to go forward, Li Yan circled around the camphor tree that more than ten or twenty people held hands, and they might not be able to surround it, and he was dumbfounded.

On this side of the camphor tree, the crown is scorched, and the bottom of the tree is barren, compared with the other half of the vigorous tree, it vividly shows what it means to be half heaven and half hell.

"How so?" Li Yan shouted out loud.

"Alas! Oh, yes. Chen Yanfeng paced to Li Yan's side and looked up at the scorched canopy with her, "The first time I saw it, I was even more shocked than you." You see, life, and death, on a tree. ”

"How so?" Li Yan interrupted Chen Yanfeng's sigh.

"I heard that it was burned, and there was a large house there...... What's wrong with your girl? Chen Yanfeng pointed to a large area of ruins in front of the dead tree, and before he finished speaking, he saw the Yushu staggering towards the ruins.

"Yushu!" Li Yan ran over with his skirt.

"Miss, here...... ...... here," Yushu stumbled at his feet, knelt on the ground, and cried, "Miss...... Lady ......"

"Don't cry, get up." Li Yan knew that this must be the Li family that Yushu said, and tried hard to drag Yushu up, but his legs were weak, and he couldn't get up from sitting on the ground, staring at the ruins in front of him, and suddenly wanted to cry.

"You girl......" Chen Yanfeng squatted next to Li Yan, looked at Yushu, and then looked at Li Yan, who didn't cry, but his tears kept flowing, "You...... You ......" Chen Yanfeng's expression changed, "This is your home?" ”

Li Yan nodded, she couldn't tell why, she knew that this was the home that Yushu was going to take her back to.

"Help me up." Li Yan grabbed Chen Yanfeng's hand, Chen Yanfeng stood up and pulled Li Yan up, Li Yan bent down and pulled up the jade tree.

"I want to go in and have a look, don't come in, just wait here." Li Yan shook off Chen Yanfeng, his feet were a little soft, he approached the ruins step by step, stood between the two big stones for a while, passed through the big stones, bypassed a mound, and went inside.

Yushu hurriedly followed, Chen Yanfeng stayed for a moment, sat down in place, and looked at the ruins, and Li Yan, who appeared and disappeared in the ruins.

Li Yan seemed to be very familiar with this ruin, walking very fast between the rugged rocks, turning left and right, running to the middle of the ruins in one breath, passing through a circle of tall white stones, and coming to a clean green brick clearing.

Li Yan stood dumbfounded, looking in a trance, this place, she has been here...... No, she dreamed of it, from childhood to adulthood, she didn't know how many times she dreamed of it, it's just that here in her dream, it's not like this, here in her dream, the green tile and pink wall, the red pillars and green eaves, the flowers and trees are flourishing, and the laughter of people keeps coming from afar......

"This is the yard of the eldest lady." Yushu crossed Li Yan from behind, walked to the thatched bushes that were particularly green in the dead silence, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to brush the thatch, "There is a camphor tree here, round, the eldest lady likes it the most, she often sits here, holds a book, and reads it for most of the ......day."

Li Yan took two steps back and sat down on a white stone.

Yes, there was a camphor tree, round, the wind blew, the leaves rustled, her skirt flew in the wind, the flowers were fragrant, and the sky was as clean as a wash......

Yushu squatted on the thatch and cried lowly, and Li Yan sat on the stone, bowing his head in a daze.

The sun was falling to the west, the remnant sun was like blood, Li Yan looked up at the bright red sunset, suddenly stood up, walked to the circle of thatch, reached out and picked up a thatch, then another, one after another, and threw it behind him......
