After eating a simple and delicious meal in the courtyard where Gan Ruolan lived at noon, Geng Wenyang lay down on the kang and rested for a while. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Gan Ruolan drove her Hylux pickup truck and took Geng Wenyang up the mountain together.

The road up the mountain has been replaced with a smooth and solid concrete surface, and in some places it has been widened, so it is much safer than the previous hike up the mountain.

It took less than an hour for the pickup truck to drive to the original Yaochi Township station. Gan Ruolan parked the car at the entrance of the health center, went in to say hello, and then said to Geng Wenyang, "Go! I'll take you to see Yaochi."

Yaochi is said to be at the top of the mountain, Geng Wenyang thought that he would continue to climb the mountain next, but he never thought that Gan Ruolan led him to turn two steep mountain beams and pointed ahead: "After this village, at the foot of the mountain in front of you is Yaochi."

Geng Wenyang looked in the direction of her finger, only to see a small village in the boundless pine and cypress, where is the slightest shadow of the lake?

"Where? Why can't I see it?" Geng Wenyang put his hand on the pergola and looked around.

"You can see it if you climb over that hill." Gan Ruolan waved her hand and said, "Let's go, we have to go through the village."

Geng Wenyang had no choice but to follow her and continue to walk forward. Gan Ruolan, who came to the edge of the village, reminded: "Because of the inconvenient transportation in this village, it is difficult to exchange goods with the outside world, and the common people are relatively poor in this area. You can take a closer look and see how poor they are."...

Geng Wenyang paid attention after hearing this. The village is lined with gravel paths, lined with slate-built houses, and even the roofs are covered with stone slabs.

"It's strange that a house made of stone slabs won't collapse!" Geng Wenyang sighed.

"They only have rocks here, and it's hard to get some dirt." Gan Ruolan said: "So it doesn't grow any crops to grow, and it's a big problem to have enough to eat, let alone make money."

"Look!" Gan Ruolan pointed to the villagers in front of her and said, "The clothes they wear are all patches and patches, and they are reluctant to throw them away when they are torn like this."

A few children ran past as they spoke, most of them thin and shirtless, but they all had laughter written on their faces.

Gan Ruolan was already familiar with the villagers, and after greeting them one by one, she said, "There are several poor villages like this, and this Yaochi Village is the largest in it, and it is slightly better in comparison. Some villages are so poor that they can't even look at it, and even the village cadres can't find a single piece of clothing without patches."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Geng Wenyang was secretly horrified. It's 1992, and there's such a poor village deep in the mountains, and it's hard to believe it until you see it on the ground.

Geng Wenyang looked back at the mountain and said, "We still have to build the road first. As long as there is a road, goods can flow smoothly, and labor can go down the mountain to make money. But without a road, it can only stay in the imagination."

"Yes! Road! You have to build roads!" Gan Ruolan chimed in.

After leaving the village and climbing over a small hill, there was a sudden fog in front of her, and Gan Ruolan smiled, "It's here! This is Yao Chi!"

Geng Wenyang looked down and saw a small circular pond in a small mountain pass. Layers of mist continue to rise from the surface of the pond, enveloping the entire col in mist.

"This is Yao Chi!" Geng Wenyang was disappointed and said, "I thought it was a big lake, but it turned out to be a small puddle."

"Of course Yaochi is a small pool." Gan Ruolan smiled, "If it's a big lake, it has to be called Yao Lake!"

"Come on!" Gan Ruolan went down the hill first, and Geng Wenyang could only follow.

When he came to the pool, he only felt that the heat wave was rolling, Geng Wenyang was shocked and said, "No wonder it's hot, it turns out that this is a hot spring pool!"

"You just knew!" Gan Ruolan said and took off her pants, revealing a close-fitting pale yellow swimsuit. Geng Wenyang was even more surprised: "How are you ...... Do you want to swim?"

"Who's going to swim?" Gan Ruolan said shamefully, "Don't look at me!"

She didn't say anything, she just said it. With this reminder, Geng Wenyang couldn't help but focus on his girlfriend's slender figure wearing only a swimsuit.

though

Gan Ruolan is relatively thin, but she has a well-proportioned body and slender limbs, and has a different sexy taste against the backdrop of a swimsuit. Geng Wenyang saw that his heart was on fire and said, "It's just the two of us here, if you dress like this, you are not afraid that I will have a bad heart and correct the Fa on the spot."

Gan Ruolan smiled and said, "If you dare, the two of them will have to tear you apart."

Geng Wenyang hurriedly turned his head to take a look, only to see Saihu and Saibao sticking out their tongues and staring at him behind them.

"My mother-in-law!" Geng Wenyang was frightened, and when he looked back, he saw Gan Ruolan sitting cross-legged in the hot spring water.

"What are you doing here?" Geng Wenyang saw that her eyes were closed, and he made a strange gesture in his right hand, and sat in the spring water and kept his mouth shut.

Geng Wenyang suddenly came to his senses and said, "Are you meditating?"

Gan Ruolan smiled slightly and didn't say anything, put down her right hand, and pinched her left hand again.

In the mist, a beautiful girl in a swimsuit soaks in the hot spring water and meditates cross-legged. If this kind of scene is placed in a public bath, everyone will only think that this girl is not normal. But this is a wilderness deep in the mountains and dense forests, and a young woman meditating here inevitably seems a little too weird and makes people shudder.

Anyway, this is his girlfriend who gets along day and night, no matter how mysterious and terrifying she is, and even transforms into a terrible monster, Geng Wenyang thinks that there is a high probability that she will not eat herself.

Under the cover of the fog, Geng Wenyang couldn't help but open his mind, fantasizing about all kinds of unbelievable possibilities: "Could it be that Lanlan is a monster? The purpose of bringing me here was to eat it?"

He suddenly remembered that the seven spider spirits in Pansi Cave in "Journey to the West" liked to take a bath in the Dirt Spring, in order to get rid of the demonic energy on their bodies.

"Could it be that Lan Lan really changed into a monster who came to the Yao Pond to meditate and take a bath in order to maintain her human form and get rid of her demonic energy?"

Geng Wenyang himself is a soul traveler who cannot be explained by science, and he also occupies other people's bodies. So some of those stories of gods, demons and monsters may be true, but people at the time couldn't make reasonable explanations.

Thinking of this, Geng Wenyang nervously touched his heart and said secretly, "Be good! Lan Lan would be better to say if she was a fox spirit, after all, they are all mammals, and the furry ones are not too scary. If she's a spider spirit...... Oh my god! The Jade Emperor, the Taishang Laojun, and the Buddha...... Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, my Buddha, mercy, God bless!"

After a series of immortal names were repeated, he suddenly realized that "Let's still talk about Brother Monkey, after all, Brother Monkey has defeated them, and Brother Monkey still works!"

"Monkey King! Fight to defeat the Buddha Sun Walker!" Geng Wenyang muttered in his heart: "The spider spirit has appeared again, come and save me!"

While he was thinking nonsense, Gan Ruolan suddenly opened her eyes and smiled seductively, "What are you muttering about?"

"I'm ......," Geng Wenyang plucked up his courage and said, "I want to ask Brother Monkey to come down to surrender you!"

"Hahaha!" Gan Ruolan laughed heartily and said, "I'm not a monster, what are you asking Sun Wukong to do?"

"You...... You're too much of a monster!" Geng Wenyang said worriedly, "Did you trick me into trying to eat me?"

Gan Ruolan was amused by him and laughed again: "You are not Tang Seng, nor are you ginseng fruit, what am I eating you for?"

"That's admitting you're a youkai!" Geng Wenyang pointed at her and said in a trembling voice, "Say! What kind of monster are you?"
