"It's not clean." Wen Yinan said.

"How is it not clean?" Gao Ling asked.

"If it's not clean, it's not clean." Wen Yinan didn't want to explain too much.

When Gao Ling heard this, she shrunk her neck, stuck out her tongue and said, "Then let's go over there." ”

Wen Yinan nodded.

So the two of them waved their whips and galloped along the mountain road towards the south.

Along the way, the forests and grasses were lush and the mountains were full of flowers, but the two of them didn't have time to appreciate it, Wen Yinan was in front, and Gao Ling rode a horse and whipped behind him to follow closely.

The two horses rushed out of the mountains and forests one after the other, and came to an open depression, where from time to time there were small ponds, and unknown birds fluttered from the water and flew high into the air.

Finally, a high embankment appeared in front of them, and the two jumped on their horses, and a big river appeared in front of them, which was the Xiaonan River, but under the light of the sun in the west, the river was murmuring, sparkling, and a beautiful scenery was beautiful.

Gao Ling rode on horseback and couldn't help but be deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, which is different from Beijun.

At this time, wisps of cooking smoke rose on the other side of the river, and Gao Ling raised his whip and pointed at the other side of the river and said, "Brother Yinan, there are also people on the other side." ”

"Ah, that place used to be very desolate, and someone just moved there." Wen Yinan said.

"I want to take a look across the other side." Gao Ling said with interest.

"Okay, I'll see if there's a boat." Wen Yinan said and drove his horse along the river bank to the east, and sure enough, several fishing boats leaning on the shore soon appeared not far away.

Wen Yinan saw that the old fisherman Wang Baohe happened to be on the boat, so he stepped forward to greet him and said, "Uncle Baohe, are you busy?" Can you send us across the river? ”

"Okay, who is this little girl?" Wang Baohe looked at Gao Ling and asked.

"Little sister Gao Ling, I'm from the Security Mansion." Wen Yinan said.

"The Security Mansion? This is a guest from afar. "Wang Bao Dao.

"Gao Ling, this is Uncle Wang, an old fisherman in our village." Wen Yinan introduced.

"Uncle Wang is good. We're sorry for you. Gao Ling greeted Wang Baohe politely.

"Hello little girl. Come on, get on board. Bring the horses with you, too. Wang Baohe said happily.

"Okay, Uncle Wang." The two answered the road while leading the horse to the boat.

The fishing boat hoisted its sails and headed for the south shore.

On the south bank of the Xiaonan River, surrounded by mountains on the east and west sides, the forests and flowers on the mountains are lush and green, and the scenery is infinite.

The further south you go, the steeper the mountains on either side until you form a deep and mysterious canyon. In early summer, the forests and flowers are even denser.

"Brother Yinan also said that there is no good place to go, isn't it here? It's really a fairyland on earth, a paradise. Gao Ling looked at the fisherman and the mountains, her eyes were full of joy, and she only heard her standing on the bow of the boat and singing softly:

Vaguely my dreams

My hometown

Narrow village lanes

It's still the same

Clear river water

Reed flowers flying

Drift in all directions

Drift in all directions

As I idealize

Willow Yiyi

Rainbow clothes

Sing to the wine

Relieve my sorrow

Winding paths

The shadows of the trees are swaying

Lost direction

Lost direction

My hometown

When he went up to the shore and saw the dotted houses at the foot of the mountain, Gao Ling was also envious and said: "Living here, don't say it's a security mansion, it's a hundred times stronger than the capital city." ”

"Why did my sister say that?" Wen Yinan asked.

"Although the security and court capital are prosperous, they are just ordinary places, flashy and disturbed places, how can they compare to the clean, quiet and calm here." Gao Ling said.

"My sister said it well, this is a little similar to the girl on the road." Wen Yinan blurted out.

"Who's Miss Lu?" Gao Ling asked.

"Let's go." Wen Yinan smiled dumbly, did not answer, and urged the horse forward.

The two of them believe in each other, and the mysterious Grand Canyon is not far away. At the entrance, a large deep ditch blocked the way.

"Brother Yinan, what's in front of you? Why did you dig such a big ditch to block the way? Gao Ling asked puzzled.

"Oh, there's the Grand Canyon ahead, it's deserted, and there are wild beasts from time to time, and this big ditch is there to protect the residents from wild beasts." Wen Yinan said.

"And...... Okay, let's not talk about it, it's getting late, let's go back. Wen Yinan wanted to say something but stopped there, and when he saw that the time was not early, he urged him to go back.

"What's the matter? Could it be that there are also unclean things in there? Gao Ling tilted her head in contemplation.

When Wen Yinan and Gao Ling returned to the village, they saw a young woman coming towards them, stopped and asked, "Official, have you seen my family Langjun?" ”

Wen Yinan said: "I haven't seen it." "I rode over.

The two walked out not far away, Gao Ling looked back, and saw that the woman was still standing on the street in a daze and never left, for some reason she always felt that it was very weird, so she asked: "Brother Yinan, who was that person just now?" Where did his family Langjun go? ”

"This woman's name is Ye Tong, her husband was a robber, and then she was rescued, but her husband didn't know whether he was dead or alive, so she asked this sentence as soon as she saw someone, crazy." When Wen Yinan said this, he suddenly stopped the horse involuntarily, Gao Ling looked at him, and saw that his brows were tightly locked, his face was heavy, and he didn't know what was going on.

It turned out that just now, a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, and he remembered another person: "Mu Xiaofei." He didn't know why he remembered him.

Seeing that it was already dark, Wen Yinan sent Gao Ling back to the door of Shinan Restaurant, and then said goodbye.

Let's say that Gao Ling came back from that day, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart:

This small stone village, in addition to going north, dare to love that you can't go to the east or west. To the east of this is high mountains and steep mountains, and the mountain roads are treacherous; The Grand Canyon in the south is full of primeval forests and infested with wild beasts; It is understandable that you can't go to these two places, but the western slope, the terrain is gentle, the trees are shady, and the mountains are full of flowers, so how can you not go? Got something unclean? What is it? No way! If you don't let me go, I'm going to go, hum! I'll go to see what is going on tomorrow morning, in broad daylight, are the living still afraid of a dead ghost?

Gao Ling made up her mind, but pretended to be casual, tied the reins of the horse to the horse stake, turned around and walked into her own room, and saw her father coming out of the guest room and asked, "You're back, how are you playing?" ”

"Okay." Gao Ling answered, and continued to walk into her own room, but was stopped by Gao Hongsheng from behind: "A girl named Lin Hong came to inquire about you just now?" ”

"Lin Hong? What did she inquire? Gao Ling asked.

"I asked you if you went out with Wen Yinan, and where did you go? I don't think I'm at ease. Gao Hongsheng said with a smile.

"This Lin Hong, but it's true, are we two big living people still afraid of getting lost?" Gao Ling turned over with a pair of apricot eyes.

"Yes, yes, let's go into the house and clean up, and let's find a good place to eat when we get back." Gao Hongsheng waved his hand.

"Okay, I've been shopping here for most of the day, and I'm really hungry." Gao Ling happily agreed, and then ran into the house happily.

That evening, Gao Hongsheng, Xiao Jin and Gao Ling had a hot pot chicken meal in a hot pot restaurant not far from the inn.

While Gao Ling was eating, she praised the taste again and again.

Early the next morning, a few people came out to find a snack shop and asked for pancakes and fruits to eat.

After breakfast, Gao Ling untied the horse's reins and led the horse out, only saying that she was looking for Wen Yinan.

Gao Hongsheng said to her: "Remember to ask Wen Daxia to come back for a meal at noon." ”

Gao Ling replied casually, turned on his horse, turned around the street, and headed west.

Gao Ling rode straight out of the village, stepped on the mountain road to the west of the village, and passed through a dense grove, Gao Ling was stunned by the sight before him: a large mass grave came into view.

"No wonder Brother Yinan said that there are unclean things." Gao Ling thought to herself, held her breath, and gently urged the white horse forward and walked into a large deserted tomb.

But when I saw the graves of all sizes near and far, one by one, I couldn't see the edge at a glance, and I didn't know how many there were. The mounds were covered with weeds, and there were no tombstones, no signs of people coming to pay their respects, and some of the weeds were almost as tall as a man, flooding the path ahead.

She didn't understand why there were so many desolate graves in the small stone village! As she walked, Gao Ling felt that the originally warm sunlight suddenly dimmed a lot, and gusts of wind swept up from nowhere, blowing wild grasses and unknown red flowers everywhere swaying, as if adding a bit of coolness.

Suddenly, she was startled by a thin voice, and the voice said: "Official, have you seen my family Langjun?" ”
