Tang Xi walked into the wooden house, staring at the dishes on the round table with his eyes. At the corner of the mouth, a drop of saliva falls vertically. Even the stomach "growled", one louder than the other. provoked the cold condensation bamboo on the side, and his eyes were white.

Tang Xi sat at the table, regardless of etiquette, grabbed a pheasant leg and started gnawing. A pair of gobbling up, played to the fullest. Tang Xi was really hungry, and in the few days when he was drunk, if Han Ningzhu hadn't reluctantly fed Tang Xi a few spoonfuls of porridge water, I am afraid that Tang Xi would have died in a drunken dream.

After a cup of tea, Tang Xi burped, showed satisfaction, wiped the oil and water on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Han Ningzhu and the woman sitting at the round table. Han Ningzhu held the chopsticks, his eyes wide, and his face was full of horror. Tang Xi apologized and looked at the woman again.

The woman was over thirty years old, wearing a light blue cloth robe, with a delicate face, curved eyebrows and big eyes, thin red lips showing white teeth, and looking at Tang Xi with a smile.

"I must be hungry, eat some more. The woman held a bowl of rice in her jade-white rough hand, handed it over, and said with concern.

Tang Xi looked at the woman and lowered his head embarrassedly, as if he had done something wrong. Tang Xi thought that if the fifth uncle was here, he would probably be scolded again. Maybe Tang Xi was really hungry, so he forgot all the table etiquette that the fifth uncle said.

"Thank you, Auntie, I'm full. Tang Xi smiled and continued: "Auntie's cooking is really delicious, much better than that made by Fifth Uncle. ”

The woman smiled even more, and looked at the child in front of her, with more affection.

Han Ningzhu's eyes moved away from Tang Xi, and saw that almost half of the food on the table was consumed, and the dishes on the plate were messy, and there were a pile of broken bones on the table, and the table at the moment was like a garbage heap. Han Ningzhu's face was full of anger, and he threw the chopsticks on the table, and the chopsticks collided with the bowl.

"Ning Zhu, what's wrong?" the woman asked when she saw that Han Ning Zhu lost her temper inexplicably.

Tang Xi wanted to praise this woman for being young and beautiful, but he didn't want to, and was interrupted by Han Ningzhu's action of throwing chopsticks. Tang Xi saw that Han Ningzhu was angry, so he remembered that he had known Dao from now on, and secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that this girl is a psychopath." ”

Tang Xi seemed to affirm his thoughts at the moment. Tang Xi thinks that only the neurotic will keep staring at himself and smirking. And only a neurotic would ask someone a year older than himself to call her sister.

"Mother, look at this coward, what kind of food has been made, it's disgusting to look at, how can you eat it!" Han Ningzhu was angry, and it was indeed a little squeamish. It seems to be blamed, and it seems to be coquettish.

"Tang Xi is here for the first time, it's a guest, don't make trouble. The woman took the green vegetables, handed them to the cold bamboo bowl, and continued: "We have to live together for a few days, didn't you say that you haven't seen a boy, you see how cute Tang Xi is!"

After Han Ningzhu glared at Tang Xi, he didn't speak, and lowered his head to eat. After Tang Xi heard the woman's words, he had more questions in his mind. There was nothing on the table except the sound of the clashing of dishes and chopsticks.

"Auntie, you said I was going to live with you, where did the Tianchi boy go? He also said to take me to find the dragon?" Tang Xi broke the silence and said with a questioning face.

After Han Ningzhu listened to Tang Xi's words, a mouthful of rice spurted out, his eyes were red, and there was a coughing sound in his mouth, as if he was choking. Han Ningzhu put down the dishes and chopsticks, glanced at Tang Xi again, and smiled curiously.

"You said Grandpa Tong, he went out for something, and said that we should take care of you for a while. Seeing Tang Xi's puzzled face, the woman explained.

The lunch ended like this, and Tang Xi was still thinking about where the Tianchi boy went. Tang Xi walked outside the door, came to the edge of the cliff, sat on the grass, and quietly looked at the pink peach blossom forest below.

"Coward, you didn't really come to find the dragon, did you?" Han Ningzhu walked behind Tang Xi and said curiously.

Tang Xi felt deceived at the moment, but he still believed in Tianchi Boy in his heart. Because Tang Xi still remembered the little white dragon in the Tianchi Boy in the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Hall.

"Is there really a dragon in this world?" Han Ningzhu had only heard of it, but had never seen it.

Tang Xi didn't speak, blowing a light breeze, quietly looking into the distance.

"I've never seen a little boy, but Grandpa Tong brought you. As long as Grandpa Tong says yes, he will definitely bring it to you. Han Ningzhu seemed to be talking to himself.

Han Ningzhu's words reached Tang Xi's ears, and Tang Xi showed a surprised look and looked at the little girl behind him.

"Don't look at me like that, I've never been out of the village, I don't know what it's like outside the village. The village is full of big brothers and big sisters. They were all busy with farm work and never played with me. Whenever I'm bored, I'll look at the mountains in front of me and imagine what it's like outside. ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect that seven days ago, Grandpa Tong brought a child of the same age as me, so that I knew for the first time that the boy looked like this. Han Ningzhu continued.

Tang Xi didn't speak, looking at the mountain. At this time, he also understood the reason why Han Ningzhu kept staring at him.

"Can you tell me what this place is?" Tang Xi asked with his back to Han Ningzhu.

"Of course, but you'll call me sister. Han Ningzhu said with a smile.

After Tang Xi nodded, Han Ningzhu began to explain to Tang Xi, this mysterious mountain village.

It turns out that Taoyuan Village is a hidden land, and it is also the home of Tianchi boys. Taoyuan Village is surrounded by high mountains, like a wooden basin. Due to the high mountain and road hazards, the people in the village basically do not leave the village. Except for Grandpa Tong who brought people in, no outsiders have ever entered the village.

Han Ningzhu pointed to the peach grove on the flat land below the mountain, and continued to Tang Xi: "Look at that peach blossom forest, those peach blossoms are all planted with peach blossom drunken fertilization. I heard Grandpa Tong say that you were drunk by the peach blossom when you passed through the peach blossom forest. If I hadn't fed you porridge and water for the past seven days, you would have starved to death. ”

Peach blossom drunk is the wine residue of making peach blossom wine, and the wine brewed is indeed called peach blossom fragrance.

At this moment, Tang Xi thought back, and only remembered entering the peach blossom forest, smelling a few breaths of the fragrance, and then he didn't feel anything. Tang Xi looked at the cold condensing bamboo in front of him and smiled, as if he was grateful.

"That round lake, the village people call it Taoyuan Mirror. The water surface is flat, no matter how strong the wind is, there will be no waves, and it can also reflect the blue sky, just like a big mirror. ”

"However, people in the village rarely go to Taoyuan Mirror, saying that there is a water monster living there, and I don't know if it's true. Han Ningzhu said in a tone of suspicion.

When Tang Xi heard the water monster, his eyes stared at the lake that was particularly dazzling in the sun, and he had an urge to run to find the water monster, but after thinking of jumping the corpse, Tang Xi still suppressed the impulse in his heart.

"Is there a piece of fog outside the peach forest, there is a mountain called Moon Setting Mountain outside the fog, and at night, this mountain can disappear. Tang Xi's face was full of curiosity, took Han Ningzhu's hand, and said excitedly.

Han Ningzhu shook his head, he hadn't heard of fog outside the peach forest, let alone the moonset mountain that could disappear.

After learning the answer, Tang Xi showed disappointment. Tang Xi clearly remembered that the Tianchi boy said that the moon sets. I still remember the white fog that I passed by when I entered the village.
