In the next few days, Wang Xinghui didn't pay attention to the lights of the Juyi Hall. On this day, he walked through the Phoenix Temple, Du Gang was directing people to repair all the mountain roads and fill the earth, Wang Xinghui didn't even look at the corner of his eyes when he passed by, and after Wang Xinghui left, Du Gang beckoned to the tiger baby, and said: "What's going on with Xinghui these days?

Wang Xinghui gets up early every day, just walks to the vicinity of Huang Ling'er's teahouse, waiting to meet Yang Xi, but he doesn't dare to show too much traces, he doesn't want to go into the teahouse, just waits in the umbrella shop opposite the teahouse, sometimes Yang Xi sees it in his eyes and smiles sweetly at him,

Beckoning him from afar, Wang Xinghui blushed and shook his head, Yang Xi had a good relationship with him, and he was no longer reluctant, and walked away by himself. Even if it is just this glance every day, Wang Xinghui is satisfied, and every night, this glance occupies his dream all night long.

On this day, Yang Xi carried a small basket again, changed into a goose-yellow shirt and walked out of the store, and saw Wang Xinghui at a glance, she beckoned to Wang Xinghui, Wang Xinghui knew that she was free and wanted to go up the mountain to collect mushrooms, so she ran over happily, and the two went into the mountain one after the other.

This day is the happiest day in Wang Xinghui's life, he stayed with Yang Xi all day, the two ate half-ripe cherries on the mountain at noon, and all kinds of wild fruits, Wang Xinghui asked: "If you don't go back at noon, Miss Lin, won't they worry about you?" Yang Xi said: "No, I told them when I came out." Wang Xinghui asked again: "Then what did you say?" Yang Xi replied with a smile: "I told Miss Lin that don't wait for me for lunch, we will leave tomorrow, take advantage of today's good weather, come out to collect more mushrooms, so that we can take them back to Suzhou." ”

When Wang Xinghui heard that they were leaving tomorrow, his heart suddenly felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and he murmured: "After you go back, we, can we still meet?"

Yang Xi silently pursed his mouth, Jiangsu and Sichuan are thousands of miles apart, this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to see each other again, both of them thought of this section, and their hearts were sullen. Yang Xi said softly to Wang Xinghui: "Brother Wang, thank you for accompanying me these few days, you have a deep affection for me, I, I also like it very much, I don't know if we can see each other in the future, you must take care of yourself." Her voice grew quieter and quieter, her face flushed to the point that her ears were hot, and she hurriedly covered her face with her hands.

Wang Xinghui was grateful, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak, but fortunately, both of them were frank people, and there were no outsiders here, so there was no need to worry about the other party discovering his heart. Yang Xi let go of her hand, her face was as bright as a peach blossom, she pointed to a stone plank road in the middle of the opposite cliff and said, "Brother Wang, it's very beautiful there, the scenery must be better, let's go over and play." Wang Xinghui happily agreed, the two held hands and climbed to the opposite cliff, although the cliff is steep, but since there is a plank road, people can still go up, the two sat in the stone pavilion on the side of the plank road, looking at the scenery under the mountain in the distance, Yang Xi said: "Miss Lin said, this is located at the junction of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, then it should be called the three provinces of Jiming." After saying that, he smiled coquettishly.

Wang Xinghui looked sideways at her and said, "That Miss Lin of yours, does he know a lot?"

Yang Xi said: "Of course, Miss Lin is a peerless woman, she has a lot of knowledge, and she has also stayed abroad, Young Master Liang, Young Master Jin, and Young Master Xu all like her, if you see it, you must also like her." Wang Xinghui shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, how can I like her, in my heart, in my heart, I have long ......" Wang Xinghui wanted to say the word like, but his face swelled like a pig's liver, and he didn't say the words like Yang Xi. Yang Xi saw that he was in a hurry like this, and couldn't bear to tease him, so he patted the back of his hand gently and said, "I know that you are good to me in your heart, but I am about to leave Sichuan, and maybe I will not come back in the future." Wang Xinghui suddenly said boldly: "You, can you stay? I will definitely treat you wholeheartedly." Yang Xi said: "That can't be done, let's come together, naturally we have to go back together, but if you miss me, you can come to Suzhou to find me, Miss Lin's house is easy to find, as long as you ask Professor Lin Changmin's home, you will know." ”

Wang Xinghui asked again: "You said that your parents are gone, where did they go?" Yang Xi said: "Dad left home when I was very young, and then there was no news, and my mother didn't know where he went, and then my mother missed my father for many years, and he died when I was eleven years old. She glanced at Wang Xinghui and thought, in my memory, he is the same as you, tall and handsome, with a face like a crown of jade. Thinking of this, his face turned red again.

Wang Xinghui didn't notice it at all, and listened carefully, Yang Xi said again: "After my mother died, Miss Lin's father, Professor Lin Changfeng, took me home and became Miss Lin's companion. ”

"Later, when I grew up, I also asked Uncle Lin about my father, but he kept silent about me, and there seemed to be a secret about my father, and they didn't want to tell me. Later, I didn't ask anymore, but fortunately, Uncle Lin's family was no different from me and Miss Lin herself, and I didn't suffer too many grievances......"

The two chatted freely on the cliff plank road for a day, and only parted reluctantly at sunset. The next day, Yang Xi went up the mountain with Miss Lin and her party to thank her, and sure enough, Miss Lin, as well as Young Master Liang, Young Master Jin, Young Master Xu, and Miss Lu were all radiant, talented men and women, and they provoked the guys and villagers along the way to look sideways. Wang Xinghui couldn't help but think secretly: No wonder Yang Xi praised Miss Lin, only a celestial figure like her could not bear Yang Xi's praise, and these companions around him were not idle people.

A few people thanked Huwa and Du Gang and others, and then went down the mountain, Wang Xinghui insisted on sending each other at this time, and sent it directly to the dock, so she was reluctant, that Miss Lu saw that Wang Xinghui did not leave Yang Xi, and said with a grin: "Brother Wang, if you are reluctant to our Yang Xi, why don't you go to Suzhou with us?"

Wang Xinghui's face turned red, but Yang Xi was not embarrassed Miss Lu teased, and stood at the bow of the boat to say goodbye to Wang Xinghui affectionately. Only then did everyone find out that the two of them had secretly fallen in love. Young Master Xu is also a very affectionate person, he saw that the two of them showed their hearts when they were leaving, and hurriedly asked the boatman to stop the boat temporarily, and said: "Ah, Brother Wang, since you like Yang Xi, why don't you go with us, if you don't leave, I'm afraid that we won't see each other again in the future." ”

Wang Xinghui bit his lip and stood on the shore, everyone persuaded for a while, Young Master Liang said: "Since this brother Wang can't get an idea for the time being, we can't force it, good brother, we and Yang Xi are like sisters, you are not only with her, but also with us, you can often write to her, if you have the opportunity to come to Suzhou and Hangzhou in the future, remember to come to us, we are a little famous, you go to Suzhou and Hangzhou, you will know where we live when you ask." If we have leisure again in the future, he will definitely accompany Yang Xi to see you again. ”

At that time, the carriage and horse were very slow, the letters were far away, there was only enough to love one person in a lifetime, the feelings between people were more simple and frank, and there were many talented and beautiful women who fell in love with each other at first sight. Miss Lin had already written down the addresses of several people on a piece of paper and handed them to Wang Xinghui, Wang Xinghui watched a few people sail away, his eyes were affectionate, and Yang Xi's eyes were not separated for a moment. As the saying goes, if you don't forget, there will be repercussions, he finally couldn't help but travel eastward, firstly, because he had a gap with Du Gang, and was full of worries about the future of Liantian Mountain, and later he had another opportunity to be entrusted all the way to the east, and secondly, because Yang Xi once looked at his eyes affectionately and said, "If Liantianshan is not going well, you can go out and walk around, and travel the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, it is better than feeling sorry for yourself." Later, Wang Xinghui and Yang Xi had a lover who would finally meet each other and achieve great consummation, and the other people were not speechless. It turned out that these people were none other than the famous talented and beautiful women during the Republic of China, the ladies were Lin Huiyin and Lu Xiaoman, and the men were Liang Sicheng, Jin Yuelin and Xu Zhimo. In 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out. Most of the south of the Yangtze River fell under the iron heel of the Japanese army, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin had already married at this time, and the two of them remembered that when they were young, they had met Wang Xinghui as a friend in the southern Sichuan area, so they took refuge all the way to come, and later could not inquire about Wang Xinghui's whereabouts, so they rented a house and settled in the ancient town of Lizhuang at the mouth of the Sanjiang River in Yibin for six years; Mr. Jin Yuelin later taught at the Southwest Associated University in Kunming, and often set out from Shanghai, walked the whole Yangtze River by water, and entered Yunnan on the ancient tea horse road at the mouth of the Sanjiang River on the Jinsha River, and his footprints also set foot in the Tianshan Mountains again; only Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, both of whom were most affectionate and sexual, and later became husband and wife, but their marriage is not blessed by the world because it is too self-conscious, destroying other people's families, Xu Zhimo finally died in a plane crash on the way to listen to Lin Huiyin's speech, after Xu Zhimo's death, although Lu Xiaoman has the heart to wake up, but he has always been lost and deeply trapped in the life of drunkenness, unable to extricate himself, throughout his life, he has always been depressed and unhappy, and the two of them have not set foot in the Sichuan realm since then.

Regardless of whether Xu Zhimo is in love or long-lived, whether it is chaotic and abandoned, the marriage that cannot be blessed by everyone has its unbearable weight, but it cannot be denied that Xu Zhimo has left a strong mark in the history of modern poetry, poets are always amorous, it is difficult to write emotional poetry without rich emotions, Xu Zhimo became famous because of amorous, and his defeat was also due to amorous, which can be said to have left a lot of sighs for future generations.

Yang Xi has been raised by the famous scholar Lin Changmin since she was a child, and she is often accompanied by this group of talented and beautiful people. Du Gang hung up the sign of the Han'an County Office in front of the Juyi Hall, and since then he has often driven Chevrolet between the county seat and the cottage, and even the Tianshan Mountains have changed the calm of the past, and there are often party and government dignitaries at all levels who come to inspect the work, no matter whether the work is done well or not, a big meal is always inevitable, the fine wine left by the few clever winemakers in the Ximen Wine Cellar will be regarded as useful, as long as the wine has passed three rounds, eaten and drunk, everyone has patted each other's shoulders and called brothers, and the rest is not so important.

Wang Xinghui walked into Uncle Yi's wing room this day, since Du Gang and Huwa each moved to a new house, this big house where the original four people lived together was left Wang Xinghui and Uncle Yi as neighbors, after Uncle Yi's original house was recaptured from Hu Guiquan's hands, he simply used it as a warehouse for the public to hoard firewood, and he still lived in this wing room on the mountain, Wang Xinghui said to Uncle Yi: "I can't sleep, come and sit." ”

Uncle Yi saw that Wang Xinghui had something on his mind, but he didn't know how to comfort him, he was a lot old, and he was not a few years away from death, even if there was something he couldn't stand to watch, what could he do? Who would put this bad old man in his eyes? Uncle Yi said to Wang Xinghui with relief: "Good boy, don't be too persistent in everything, too deep obsession, easy to hurt yourself, people are just easy to break, you know, bear with it, child." ”

It is precisely because Uncle Yi is like a loving father that Wang Xinghui has something in his heart, so he confides in him, and Uncle Yi said: "If you are really uncomfortable in your heart, it is good to go out for a walk." ”

These days, Yang Xi's words have been lingering in his ears, he just can't make up his mind to go down the mountain, Uncle Yi's words gave him great encouragement, he found an opportunity to wait for Du Gang, Huwa and Uncle Yi to be present when the three of them explained this intention again: "Now the cottage is becoming more and more stable, there is a big brother and a tiger baby in charge, there is no big deal, the situation is uncertain today, a hundred wastes to be lifted, I want to travel down the mountain, make friends with heroes, broaden my horizons, and go back to the mountain to learn in the future, I don't know what the eldest brother and the tiger baby and the old man think." ”

Du Gang remembered the scene when Lin Huiyin was waiting for a group of people to say goodbye that day, and he said: "Xinghui, you shouldn't be thinking about that little girl that day!" Wang Xinghui felt slightly embarrassed, and it was difficult to answer, Du Gang smiled slightly and said: "That's okay, you just go down the mountain to travel, it doesn't matter whether you learn things or not, the important thing is that if you like people, don't chill people's hearts." ”

Wang Xinghui came down from the cottage speechlessly, and said goodbye to Liu Yuanbin, Li Lei and others from Phoenix Temple, Toad Stone, and Yupingdu all the way, and told them to guard the cottage well, and not to relax the embankment day and night. He whipped the horse himself, and galloped away without asking for directions. The road has only been walked for a day, when looking at the road monument, Wang Xinghui will be dumbfounded, it turns out that he let the horses scatter joy, this day is just a few round-trips, did not go far, still in the Sichuan-Yunnan Gulin area. On this day, he passed by a small shop near the river, only to see thirty bamboo rafts lined up on the wharf outside the store, a full mile of land, bamboo farmers along the river selling bamboo was not unusual, but he glanced at it, he left a mind, it turned out to be a guy standing on the bamboo raft to let the wind out, faintly familiar, a bit like one of the bandits who pretended to be Wang Lingji in Liantian Mountain that day to receive bamboo materials.

Wang Xinghui thought to himself: That day, these people pretended to be officials and soldiers to rob more than 200,000 bamboos in the Tianshan Mountains, and then in the middle of the night in the middle of the night in the transportation I waited for an opportunity to escape, and after that, I no longer know the whereabouts of this group of people, but what they robbed the bamboo for, but it is still a mystery, I have seen the bandits who robbed gold and silver treasures, and the bandits who kidnapped the women of the good family as the ladies of the village, but I have not heard of the bandits who robbed the bamboo: the mountains in southern Sichuan are full of bamboo, and 200,000 bamboos are not worth a thousand yuan in the ocean, obviously they are not for robbing money, so what do they wantIf you meet again today, it's time to find out. He listened carefully from a distance, and sure enough, he heard that the small riverside shop was full of money, and it was obvious that this group of people was having lunch inside, and he thought about it slightly.

Wang Xinghui deposited the horse at the post station, wrapped it on his chest, and walked into the small riverside shop with a big grin with a passing guest, and sure enough, he saw the person who called himself Zhang Tuan's deputy that day, and immediately remained silent and found a table to sit down. Wang Xinghui changed his outfit, he calculated correctly, it has been two years, and this group of people may not remember him, the young man who put the row that day.

After eating, this group of people escorted thirty bamboo rows, hurriedly down the river, came to a confluence of two rivers, "Deputy Zhang Tuan" shouted to stop, ordered the bamboo rafts to be traced along another river, someone from the waist to feel out the long rope, set on the bamboo row, as a slender man, Wang Xing will have the heart to explore the end, all the way far away, and walked three or five miles, there are few people along the way, it is already more and more remote, the water surface is getting narrower and narrower, both sides of the bank are gradually cliffs towering, turn a bay, a huge grotto appears in front of you.

This grotto is about seventy or eighty acres in size, there are hundreds of meters of cliffs on three sides, there is only a mouth in the north by the river, the group of people saw this grotto, all showed joy on their faces, Wang Xinghui heard from afar that "Deputy Zhang Tuan" ordered to stop advancing: "Brothers, hurry, that's it......" I saw them stop the bamboo row on the mouth of the grotto, put the bamboo on their shoulders, and carried it to the grotto, this group of people pulled more than ten bamboos one by one, in the valley like walking on the ground, rushing away, only this ability, it can be seen that it is some practitioners with martial arts.

Wang Xinghui would find a place to hide, and he heard the "Deputy Zhang Tuan" standing in front of a cliff, looking around for a long time, and said: "It's not wrong, that's it, second brother, let's do it!" One person nodded lightly, answered the answer, and said to the person next to him: "Fourth brother, you are good at this, how about it? Let the eldest brother open his eyes?"

Another person wearing a new army uniform threw down the bamboo and took off his military uniform, and said: "Eldest brother, second brother, younger brother, I grew up in a poor family, and I made a living by climbing cliffs and robbing tombs in this Yuwang Mountain, so look at my ...... today This skin is really hot, I can't imagine that I have been a thief for a lifetime, and I will be a big soldier today!" The group laughed for a while, and this guy called the fourth child arranged a way to live: "You, you, come here, just stand up from here, you two, cut more bamboo strips, eldest brother and second brother, you two are resting on the side." ”

Wang Xing saw them build up the bamboos one by one under the cliff, as if they were building a high platform, and then this group of talents was unscrupulous, and they all took off their coats, revealing all black clothes, which were indeed the outfits of a group of bandits and thieves. The sun hangs in the valley in the west, there is no sunlight anymore, a tall bamboo tower under the stone wall is slowly erected, one side is built by the mountain, it is two hundred meters high, the other side has a slope, there is three meters wide, people can walk up and down, it is very spectacular. "Deputy Zhang Tuan" couldn't stop praising him: "Good, good, good craftsmanship, good craftsmanship, it really deserves to be the eight-armed ape Tang Laosi!"

The more Wang Xinghui looked at it, the more frightened he became, thinking that this group of people had such a big formation, there must be a big plan, in case they found out, they would inevitably kill people and kill people, sure enough, several black-clothed people checked the grotto again, and a black-clothed man was about to walk in front of Wang Xinghui, he didn't have time to think about it, he slid lightly at the water's edge, and slid into the water holding a piece of wood. By the cover of the stone on the shore drifting down the river for a mile or two, he had already bypassed the grotto, he quietly came out of the water, climbed ashore, the sky was getting dark, he could not tell the direction, only to go to the mountain dense forest, suddenly saw a faint light flickering in a place in front of him, so he walked in that direction, suddenly, under his feet a fire was bright, as bright as day: it turned out that he went around and around, and actually went around to the top of the grotto.

He hurriedly lay on the ground motionless, the top of the bamboo tower was only twenty meters away from him, several people in black held torches, everything in front of them could be seen clearly, the top of the bamboo tower was a platform two or three zhang wide, and it was leaning against a cave on the cliff, and the person called the eight-armed ape monkey Tang Lao Si commanded on the platform: "Slow down, slow down, don't break the baby!" Several people in the cave shouted, and slowly pushed out a huge coffin!

Wang Xing was also taken aback when he saw that there was indeed a treasure, only to hear a person under the bamboo tower shouting: "How is it? Fourth, is there a treasure? Is your news accurate?" The voice continued: "As the saying goes, three is no more than four, you let our brother be a tomb robber three times, and he didn't catch a single silver ingot, and the bamboo has fallen a lot. ”

Tang Laosi snorted and shouted below: "Big brother, you can't be wrong, Lao Tzu tied up Luo Shaoshuai, forgive him Luo Bingzhang The old man didn't dare to lie, if he wanted a baby or a son, he should be clear!" Another person below laughed: "Fourth, fourth, I said that you are bold, Luo Bingzhang's son, you dare to tie up, aren't you afraid of finding a baby and losing your life?" "Hey, now is the world of the Republic of China, he died early in the morning, he is an outdated governor, afraid that he is a bird, don't you take him in your eyes, second child?" Alas, it's a pity that this old man only said a few pieces of information about the hanging coffin in the grotto, and refused to say the specific location, so our brothers dug several grottoes. ”

Wang Xing met and spoke, two people rushed up from the bamboo ladder, before Tang Laosi answered, he also saw the two standing at the bottom of the grotto, Tang Lao Sihua finished speaking, the two people had already walked to the bamboo tower halfway up, surnamed Zhang replied while walking: "Fourth, you will be wrong, our second master Chang not only didn't put Luo Bingzhang in his eyes, Guo Xunqi is nothing, otherwise how dare our second master Chang touch his father-in-law?" "Old father-in-law" As soon as the three words were finished, the two of them had already stood on the platform in unison, their faces were not red and they were not panting, Wang Xing saw this kung fu, and couldn't help but applaud secretly.

The group laughed for a while, and Tang Laosi said with a grin: "That's, that's, it's thanks to the second brother who intercepted Wang Lingji's official document to Lian Tianshan, which saved our brother a batch of money to buy bamboo, and even the old man Hu in Tianshan, I'm afraid that I don't know our way now!" Wang Xinghui listened to them talk at this time, thought about it a little, and had a seven-seven-eighty-eight understanding of the ins and outs of the matter: this group of people actually kidnapped the son of Luo Bingzhang, the last governor of Sichuan, and learned from Luo Bingzhang's mouth that there was a treasure hidden in the hanging coffin of a grotto near here, so he looked around for tomb robbery, here the servants have the tradition of burying the coffin on the cliff since ancient times, and they robbed the tomb, but it is indispensable to buy bamboo everywhere to build a tower, and the surname Chang intercepted the official document of Wang Lingji to Liantianshan to urge the collection of bamboo, and they simply pretended to be the person who came to receive the bamboo, and robbed 200,000 bamboos in Liantianshan。

Wang Xinghui was lying on the top of the mountain thinking about the ins and outs of the moment, when he heard the side surnamed Chang say: "What are you waiting for, open it and take a look." While snatching a ghost head knife from the hand of a man in black, inserting it into the crack of the coffin, and opening it up, everyone suppressed the laughter, they could see it clearly, Wang Xinghui also saw it clearly, only to see a coffin full of stones, where is there any treasure, Donald Si was unwilling, picked up a stone and touched it on the knife edge, and with a sound of rubbing, the stone was split into several halves. He threw the stone down: "Damn, his grandma, it's fake again!"

At this time, the lid of the coffin was lifted halfway, Wang Xinghui suddenly smelled a strange smell, like the fragrance of flowers, and like an extremely strong smell of wine, faintly transmitted from the high platform to the top of the mountain, he was wondering, and heard the old man surnamed Zhang shouting: "Oh! Be careful of poison, what is this, centipede, centipede!" Then there were a few people dancing, crying dad and calling mother up, only to see some centipedes crawling out of the coffin, the platform is not easy to avoid, one person fell off the bamboo tower with a bang, and a torch fell down for a while before it was extinguished.

The group of people was shocked and shouted, "What the hell!" and walked down, and those who were good at it slipped down the hill with a good hand, and those who were not good at it held a torch in one hand and a bamboo ladder in the other, and hurriedly retreated down. The bamboo ladder shook, and several people climbed down with a rolling belt. Wang Xinghui only listened to these people curse at the bottom of the mountain, and suddenly the fire was ignited, it turned out that they lit the bamboo tower to vent their anger, and after a while, the coffin fell down first, the bamboo tower slowly collapsed, the fire burned more vigorously, crackling and burning for an hour, a dry person walked cleanly, only a pile of fire remained, and it burned for more than an hour before it was slowly extinguished.

Wang Xinghui stayed for a while, turned around and lay on the top of the mountain, busy for a while, it was nearly five watches, only to see the galaxy on the side, and the moon hanging high in the middle of the sky. He rested for a while, nourished his spirit, and then slowly followed the back of the mountain, riding the moonlight, sliding down the mountain, there is no bamboo forest in this area, it is all a piece of banana forest, although the plantain on the tree is not ripe, Wang Xinghui picked a large bunch, even ate several, then felt full. Turning around a plantain forest, a small hermitage appeared in front of you. Wang Xinghui thought to himself, it must be the owner of the banana forest who lives here, I ate so many of his plantains, I can't help but say hello, he approached the hermitage, saw that the top of the hermitage collapsed a large piece, stretched out his hand to the chaimen to push, his hands were full of cobwebs, he shouted a few times: "Is there anyone?" only heard his own echo in the barren mountains and fields, there was no other sound, in the early morning, even insects and birds could not hear a sound.

He turned and looked around, this place was not very far from the top of the mountain, and when he looked down the mountain, he could only see a fog and mist, and he didn't know how high the mountain was, as if it was beyond the reach of his eyes.
