Hearing this abrupt sound, everyone looked out the door, the weather was hot at this time, the door was wide open, and I saw a thin boy in his teens, standing there a little shyly, but the two big dark eyes were firmly looking at me. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As soon as the village chief saw the child, he immediately shouted: "Don't mess around! Don't see any guests? Hurry home! ”

Li Dong suddenly said, "Wait, this kid seems to know something, can you let me talk to him?" ”

The village chief said, "It's not because she knows something...... Alas, forget it, it's useless to tell you. ”

The old secretary stopped the words at this time and said: "It's been a few years, tell me what you're afraid of, the children are not afraid, what are you afraid of." Little, come inside. Finally, he waved to the child outside the door.

When the child saw the old secretary calling him, he immediately raised his head and strode in, Li Dong asked him to sit down, he just stood behind the old secretary, probably still a little shy.

I took a closer look, the child was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and seemed to be a little malnourished, but he also had clear eyebrows, a smart look in his eyes, a neat ear-length short hair, fair skin, and a little girl-like skin, probably a little anemia.

The old secretary said to us: "This child's name is Xiaoxiao, and his big name is Tang Ling, and he brings tourists from all over the world into the mountains all day long, like a tomboy......

"What?! It's a girl?! I interrupted the old secretary in surprise.

The old secretary turned his head to look at Xiaoxiao, and then said: "Yes, there is such a child in Xiaoxiao's family, when her mother gave birth to her, her body was not well adjusted, she sat down and was sick, and she was maintained by taking medicine all year round, and she couldn't do any work." In order to take care of their mother and daughter, the village also specially applied for relief funds from the government. But the mother and daughter are so strong, they don't want to take advantage of the country, and they want to make money by their own labor. ”

Li Dong suddenly asked, "What about the little father?" ”

The old secretary sighed and said, "Alas...... The child's father is a native of Beijing, who came to Shennongjia for more than ten years to explore, and met his little mother in our village, and the two soon got married. However, after getting married, he did not return to the capital with his daughter-in-law, but settled in Longwo Village. In the years that followed, the little father went deep into the Ice Cave Mountain several times, but he did not find the ice cave. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "You mean that the little father is also looking for the Crystal Heavenly Palace?" ”

The old secretary nodded and said: "The purpose of his coming to Longwo Village is to find Emperor Yan's palace, almost every year, he has to enter the mountain once, but every time he returns to no avail." When he was seven years old, he entered the Ice Cave Mountain again, but this time, he never came back. Alas......"

Speaking of which, I already knew that my little father should have been killed in the mountains, otherwise there would not have been any news like this.

But Xiaoxiao suddenly said at this time: "My dad is not dead!" I'll definitely find him! ”

The girl clenched her fists at this time, with a resolute expression on her face and an extremely firm conviction in her eyes.

The old secretary said: "Her mother is also like this, firmly believing that her father is still alive, we at first thought that he just didn't say goodbye, and later through the police, we contacted the capital, and learned that the little father was an orphan, and people who knew him said that they hadn't seen him for a long time." Later, the village also sent people to look for the child's father, but the forest near the Ice Cave Mountain, as long as it is too deep, it is easy for people to get lost, and in the end, they can only give up. ”

After hearing about this girl's background, I asked her, "Xiaoxiao, you just said that you were going to take us to the Crystal Heavenly Palace, do you know where the ice cave is?" ”

Xiao Xiao looked up at me and said lightly: "I don't know where the ice cave is, but I have seen the Crystal Heavenly Palace." ”

What the!!

The girl's words made everyone stand up. If it weren't for the kid's nonsense, the news would be so amazing that I don't care about the logic of her words.

The village chief walked up to the girl at this time and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoxiao, I know that you are not a child who likes to lie, tell Uncle how you met the Crystal Heavenly Palace." ”

Someone next to her brought a chair to the girl and asked her to sit down and talk slowly, Xiaoxiao was no longer polite, and after sitting down, she lowered her head and pondered for a while, and began to tell us her story.

The girl had no father at a very young age, and her mother was not in good health, so the burden of the whole family fell on her, and she had to take care of her mother every day in addition to school. The mother's maiden family conditions were also not good, and the two sisters were all married to other provinces, and their lives were not easy enough to help them.

Although the little father left some savings, it was only a drop in the bucket, and in the past few years, in order to buy medicine for his mother, the family has long been in debt.

Xiaoxiao also dropped out of school and became a guide, but fortunately, there have been more and more tourists over the years, and she is clever and sincere, everyone is very satisfied with her service, and the remuneration is more than others.

In the past two years, Xiaoxiao has not only paid off her debts, but also saved some savings, and her mother's illness has basically recovered, and she can recover after a while of recuperation.

And Xiaoxiao has been thinking about looking for her father all the time, and she will take a period of time to go into the mountains every year, just for this matter.

About three years ago, Xiaoxiao found a hidden valley along a dry riverbed, and when it was raining heavily, she found a cave to shelter from the rain.

The heavy rain passed quickly, and a rainbow appeared in the sky, but Xiao Xiao suddenly found a crystal-like palace on the other side of the sky, crystal clear and exuding colorful light, and the white mist around the palace was like the legendary Lingxiao Treasure Palace, shining in the sun.

Although Xiaoxiao dropped out of school, she also knew the principle of mirage, which was all thanks to her erudite mother, although Xiaoxiao's mother was also a girl in the mountains, but she was smart and studious since she was a child, but she was unable to go out to study because she was weak and sick, but she always insisted on self-education at home.

It was her perseverance and self-improvement character that moved her little father, and the two came together.

According to Xiaoxiao, since the Crystal Heavenly Palace can be seen in the mirage, it means that this palace is not very far from the valley where she is located, and it must also exist in an open-air environment, if it is in the legendary ice cave, the light cannot be refracted into the sky at all.

The small analysis is very reasonable, and I am even more excited after listening to it, since it is not in the cave, it may be a city in the valley, or it is the Yandi City we are looking for......

However, when I saw the thin figure in front of me, I felt a little troubled in my heart, this girl obviously wanted us to take her into the mountains to find my father.

I could only reluctantly say to her: "Xiaoxiao, I can know what you mean by what you said just now, but I can't take you into the mountain with us, because we have a special mission, so please understand." Can you tell me where that valley is? As soon as there is news of your father, I will definitely let the village chief inform you in time. ”

I thought this would be a stubborn girl who would refuse my request, but who knows, she just looked a little stunned, and then nodded, but her eyes were full of disappointment, and she had a pair of big eyes that could talk, which made me a little unbearable to look at directly.

I didn't expect Xiaoxiao to be able to read the map, she marked the location of the valley and the route on our map, and then left the village chief's house without saying a word.

As I was leaving, I felt as if I had just bullied a child, and I asked the village chief with some concern, "There won't be anything wrong with this child, right?" ”

The village chief waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, although this little child is not very old, he is an early housekeeper, very sensible, and never causes trouble to others." ”

Although I was still a little worried, since the village chief had said so, I had nothing to worry about.

In the evening, the village chief arranged a room for me and Li Dong, and we had decided to follow the route into the mountain early tomorrow morning, so we rested relatively early, and the night in the mountain village was very quiet, less noisy and noisy in the city, and we slept very peacefully this night.

The next day, we had a hurried breakfast at the village chief's house, and after expressing our sincere gratitude for the village chief's hospitality, we parked the car at the village chief's house and set off for the eastern foot of the ice cave.

When standing at the entrance of the village, looking at the valley in the distance, I feel that although it is huge and dense, I can't see the edge at a glance, but I won't get lost, and with the sunlight overhead, it is easy to judge the direction, but why are there still villagers lost in the forest?

When Li Dong and I entered the forest and walked for more than an hour, we found that this forest was a little big and terrifying. Here, towering ancient trees can be seen everywhere, dense with dense branches and leaves, in the endless forest, covering the sky and the sun.

At this time, the sun was shining in the sky, but the forest we walked in was a little eerie, even the wind blew with a slight chill, and in some places, the trees were too dense to see the road under our feet.

I suddenly understood why the village chief said that many people would get lost here.

The camphor forest we passed through at this time was an environment where the light of day was gone, and Li Dong and I turned on our head-mounted searchlights and slowly moved forward with weapons in hand.

Suddenly, there was a soft "click" sound from behind us, which was the sound of a dead branch on the ground being trampled on. In the silence of the forest, the sound was like thunder, and it scared my heart.

Listening to the sound of the dead branches breaking, if this is not a human, it should be caused by some kind of large animal, no matter what the result, the threat to us is not small.

We immediately turned to look behind us, and at the same time pointed our guns at a shadow in the distance, and as the light of the two searchlights shone by, I saw a figure clearly, and when I could see the face of the comer, I was stunned on the spot.
