Ah Rui rode the Lossless Beast, stepping on the afterglow of the setting sun, and approached the farmhouse.

In front of the farmhouse, there was a woman in a red dress dressed as a village girl, sitting there doing needlework, as if she was knitting a baby sweater. There was a "click" and "clang" sound from behind the farmhouse, which was very rhythmic, as if someone was chopping wood there.

Seeing that the Lossless Beast's mood had stabilized, Ah Rui jumped down from its back, led the Lossless Beast, walked to the red-clothed village girl, and said, "This girl, my mount is frightened, passing by here, can you disturb the girl to ask for a drink?"

The red-clothed village girl raised her head, glanced at Ah Rui and the lossless beast behind her, smiled, and said, "The girl is not polite, she is a guest from afar, and it is natural to be convenient with others." Please come with me. He put away his needle and thread, and turned to go into the house.

Seeing the woman in red, Ah Rui smiled, which was very moving, and she couldn't help but praise in her heart: "What a beautiful woman! I didn't expect to meet such a beautiful village girl in this wilderness!"

Ah Rui followed the village girl into the farmhouse, only to see that the farmhouse was built with a wide threshold, and the furnishings in the house were very simple, only a table of eight immortals and two benches, and on the table were teapots and cups and other daily utensils. There was a wooden door at the back of the house, high and large, and it seemed that there was a house in the back, presumably the bedroom, for it was so empty that there was no bed in sight.

The red-clothed village girl walked to the table, poured a glass of water for Ah Rui, and said, "In the poor village, there is no good tea and wine to entertain the girl, so quench your thirst with a glass of white water." ”

Ah Rui said: "Don't hide this village sister, in fact, it's not that I'm thirsty, but my mount has been running for a long time, thirsty and hungry, because it smells the smell of cooking smoke on my sister's side, I think it will be able to ask for a bite to eat, so it came on its own." ”

The red-clothed village girl said: "That's the case." It's okay, my husband is chopping wood behind the house, making a fire and cooking, and it will be fine soon, if the girl doesn't dislike it, let's eat with my husband and wife!"

Ah Rui was overjoyed and said, "Great, thank you sister!"

The red-clothed village girl said, "Bring your mount in, this room is big enough, and the door is wide enough to accommodate it." ”

Ah Rui said: "Then what's so embarrassing, just let it wait outside the house." ”

The red-clothed village girl said: "It's okay, bring it in, we will eat and enter the house later, we can only pass through here, see that your mount is so hungry that its stomach growls, it must be hungry." ”

When Ah Rui heard her say this, she was no longer polite, went out to take the harmless beast, and walked into the house. Sure enough, the wooden door of the room was designed to be just right for the lossless beast to pass through. So Ah Rui followed the red-clothed village girl through the wooden door at the back of the house and walked towards the back of the house.

The winding path leads to the secluded, it turns out that behind this farmhouse, there is another world!

The red-clothed village girl guided Ah Rui out of the farmhouse and into a bamboo forest, followed the path in the forest, zigzagged and walked for a while, and had already walked out of the bamboo forest, and suddenly opened up in front of her! It turned out that there was a small courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers. The small bridge flows, the pine and cypress, and the elegance is extreme.

The figure on the small bridge flashed, and I saw a young man in a white robe who looked like a scholar, holding a pile of chopped firewood in his arms, standing there with a long jade body.

The red-clothed village girl introduced: "This is my husband Jun Ah Jin. Then he said to the white-clothed scholar, "This girl has passed by here, and because her mount is hungry, she has come to ask us for some food. Husband, let's make it easier. ”

The white-clothed scholar smiled: "It has been a long time since a guest has come here in this village, and it is best to have a passing traveler who needs help today." Haven't asked the girl for her name yet?"

Ah Rui saw this white-clothed scholar, who was handsome and strange, as if he had seen it somewhere, but for a while, he couldn't think of it, and said in a daze: "My name is Ah Rui" The white-clothed scholar smiled mysteriously at her, turned around and led the way.

Three people and one beast walked across the small bridge, has stepped into a flower path, although it is early winter, all kinds of different species of chrysanthemums, blooming like a sea of flowers. Further ahead, suddenly the fragrance is more abundant, raise your eyes to see, in front of the original small courtyard, two white orchid trees, among the green leaves, starry, elegant and pleasant, people have the feeling of entering the country of incense.

Ah Rui followed behind the white-clothed scholar and the red-clothed village girl, slowly walked into the courtyard gate, and looked at it, where is still a simple farm, only to see the red column and green sky, the west window of Zhuhu, the palace lamp hanging, the bead curtain hanging to the ground, it is simply a rich atmosphere.

Ah Rui couldn't help but stop and said, "This is such a fresh and elegant place! Is this still a wilderness of ten thousand beasts?"

The white-clothed scholar smiled back and said, "This is the courtyard of Xiaosheng and my wife." Let the girl laugh!"

Ah Rui was confused for a while, and followed him and his wife into the hall.

The white-clothed scholar said, "Girl, please wait, I'll make a few side dishes." Lady, you can talk to Miss Arui for a while. With that, he grabbed the pile of firewood and went to the kitchen.

Ah Rui was surprised to see that the two of them were actually the scholar who went to cook. But after thinking about it, there is a difference between men and women, and it is not necessarily that the village girl goes to the kitchen, but the white-clothed scholar is alone with his lonely man and widow. So he led the Lossless Beast to the corner of the hall and sat down at the round table in the middle.

The red-clothed village girl looked at her with a smile and said, "Look at the girl's eyebrows and beautiful eyes, she is a stunning beauty, but can she have a marriage match?"

Ah Rui said embarrassedly, "No." ”

The red-clothed village aunt said: "The little girl has been pampered by her parents since she was a child, and she has never learned the kitchen skills of cooking and cooking. If Miss Arui marries in the future, she must also marry someone who loves each other. ”

Ah Rui's face turned red and she snorted.

The red-clothed village aunt said: "You must be strange why such a mountain village and a wild outskirts of the countryside, our couple would choose to live here?"

A Rui said: "This is also good for some people who are idle and wild cranes, don't like prosperous scenery, and love paradise." ”

The red-clothed village aunt said: "Actually, my husband is studying hard, striving for fame and fortune." When the country was employing people, my husband had lofty ambitions, and his seclusion in the mountain village was temporary. I think that when my husband went to Beijing for the first time, he encountered the sea and waves on the ferry on the way back to his hometown, and drifted to the island where I lived, so that I could meet and fall in love with my husband, do you think this is the fate arranged by God?"

Ah Rui was secretly surprised when he heard this, and said, "Isn't this the underworld?

The village girl in red said, "Miss Arui, you are dreaming." This is the earth, and there is the underworld. If it's the underworld, aren't you and me ghosts?"

Ah Rui was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart: "Aren't we just ghosts?
