Chapter 1: Peach Blossoms
There are many unknown places in this world, there are also many unknown things, and of course, there are many unknown people.
Some people have studied it hard but to no avail, and finally define it as an unknown mystery.
The peach blossoms in the mountains, they are in full bloom, with the spring breeze, the peach blossoms are colorful and flying, and this place is called a fairyland on earth.
In March, people scramble, just to witness the style, they only know the wonderful artistic conception of the peach blossoms flying, but they don't know that there are unknown secrets hidden under the peach blossoms.
"Grandpa, our chickens have laid eggs, can we eat boiled eggs tonight?" said to the old man with an egg in his hand.
In order to get the egg, the child had been staring at the chicken butt since the previous night, until it entered a thatched hut, and after a while, the child hastily took it out.
"Little rabbit, how many times have I told you, it's a crane, and its eggs are crane eggs, and they can't be eaten. ”
"Grandpa, but everyone else says it's a chicken!" the child scratched his head and looked at his grandfather with snow-white hair in front of him.
When the vitality is revived, it will become a crane and soar into the sky. The old man said very exaggeratedly, and he said, and danced with his hands, and his movements were very funny, and he said that it was the crane spreading its wings, but the child thought that it was the old hen showing off.
"Grandpa, when will the vitality be restored?" asked the child, blinking his eyes wide.
"This ...... It should be soon. The old man was stunned and said.
"Oh......" the child nodded.
"Grandpa, didn't you say it was a crane, how did you kill it?" In the evening, the child watched Grandpa carry the old hen and went down with a click.
"When there is no recovery, it is a chicken. The old man put the chicken in the basin, poured some hot water, and plucked the feathers of the chicken.
"Oh!" the child nodded, not paying much attention to it, for the child's mind was full of fragrant chicken nuggets.
"Grandpa, have you ever been to the outside world? I heard the third uncle say that the outside world is very beautiful. The child asked the old man as he ate the chicken nuggets, and the child's eyes were full of yearning.
"The outside world?" the old man was slightly stunned, what is the outside world like?
The old man stroked his white beard, and a picture appeared in his eyes, remembering that it was when he was very young, and he also asked his elders like this.
Syllable............ Oops......
The old man hit the child on the forehead with a chopstick, and the child covered his forehead in pain.
"Hey...... Jiang Yuan, grandpa told you before that the outside world is taboo. The old man said, and then ate the chicken, yes, he asked the elders at that time, and it was such chopsticks that were ushered in.
"They all said that Mom and Dad went to the outside world. Jiang Yuan lowered his head, and his hand was still rubbing his forehead that had been hit by the old man with chopsticks just now.
"Who did you listen to?" the old man chewed the chicken, relishing, and when he heard Jiang Yuan's words, he looked stunned and asked.
"Huzi told me, and he said that's what his parents said. Jiang Yuan replied.
"Nonsense, Jiang Yuan, have you forgotten how grandpa told you?" the old man vetoed directly, his eyes staring at Jiang Yuan tightly.
"Grandpa, they said it was Sun Monkey who jumped out of the rocks, not me. Jiang Yuan's voice was a little choked.
"This ........." The old man was a little speechless, every time Jiang Yuan asked the old man who his parents were, the old man would say that it was a stone.
On a dark and windy night, the old man noticed that the stones at the door were suddenly shaking, and then a baby jumped out of it, and this baby was Jiang Yuan.
Every time he told Jiang Yuan this, Jiang Yuan would blink his big dark eyes and ask in a very immature voice, "My parents are stones?"
At this time, the old man will nod and acquiesce.
This also caused Jiang Yuan to stay with a large pile of stones for a period of time, and his parents kept screaming.
It's a pity that a lie is a lie, maybe the purpose is good, but it will be punctured eventually.
The old man looked at Jiang Yuan, not knowing what to say, he racked his brains and couldn't think of another lie.
In fact, many times, the old man also wanted to tell Jiang Yuan the truth, but the time had not yet come.
The grandfather and grandson were silent like this, no one spoke, and no one moved chopsticks to eat.
The meal was cold, the night was getting deeper and deeper, Jiang Yuan was a little confused and sleepy.
At this time, a strange pattern flashed in the old man's eyes, and when Jiang Yuan saw this pattern, he directly lay on the table and fell asleep.
The fragrant fragrance of peach blossoms enters the nose, the cool night, and the even breathing of children are very harmonious and kind.
The old man got up, his body moving, and only one afterimage of him was left around.
In the depths of the peach blossom forest, the peach blossoms are flying, the old man is standing in the peach blossoms, his white hair is fluttering, but he looks like a master outside the world, the fly in the ointment is that he is too old, and his face is wrinkled.
What is the outside world like? The old man looked at the other end of the peach blossom forest, and sometimes he wanted to see it.
Maybe as long as he continues to take a few steps forward, it's fine, it's simple, it's easy, but for them, it's a taboo, and no one can step on it unless they recover.
The old man stood for a long time, and finally sighed, turned his head and walked back, he didn't have that courage, he was afraid of taboos, he Jiang Chen didn't dare in his life.
The first rays of sunshine in the morning, I don't know when it has appeared, and after Jiang Yuan woke up, he found that it was almost noon.
He stretched and walked out of the room, the sun shining on his young face, and he felt warm.
This place is called Peach Blossom Spring, and there is only one village, which is the Peach Blossom Village where Jiang Yuan is located, why is it called Peach Blossom Village?
Because this place has peach blossoms in all seasons. The peach blossoms fell, and a few days later, they bloomed again, and the cycle repeatedly, but the peaches were never taken.
Sometimes, Jiang Yuan feels that the peach trees in the Peach Blossom Land are flashy. Of course, Jiang Yuan also felt so in his heart, if he said it, if he was not beaten to death by Jiang Chen, he would also be scolded to death by other people in Peach Blossom Village.
Children's thoughts may be forgotten after a sleep, but Jiang Yuan does not.
Besides, who would forget their parents? In Peach Blossom Village, all children have parents, except for Jiang Yuan.
To be honest, Jiang Chen loves Jiang Yuan very much. But there is some love that Jiang Chen can't make up for.
Jiang Yuan looked at the peach blossoms all over the field, he clenched his little fist, and the two calves ran quickly.
In the depths of the peach blossoms, he often goes, and the old man in the peach blossom village said that the other end of the peach blossom is the outside world, but Jiang Chen told Jiang Yuan that he can't step out, this is a taboo, and if you violate the taboo, you will be punished, and there is a monster here that specializes in stealing people's hearts.
Jiang Yuan looked at the boundary that Jiang Chen said in front of him, swallowed his saliva, there was a little fear in his eyes, if his heart was stolen, the person would die, Jiang Yuan hesitated.
"They say Mom and Dad are out there. Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth, sometimes he really wished that he was a monkey and could fight monsters, so that he would not be afraid of monsters who stole his heart.
One-step!
Jiang Yuan took a step, what happened to the monster who stole his heart?
"Youkai, I'm not afraid of you, my grandfather said, I jumped out of the stone, I'm the younger brother of Sun Monkey, and I can also fight youkai. Jiang Yuan shouted loudly, he closed his eyes tightly, a soybean-sized sweat fell from his sideburns, and his chest rose and fell.
But he waited for a long time, but no one answered him.
"Could it be that the monster is scared?" Jiang Yuan was a little puzzled, he opened his eyes and looked around cautiously, where are there any monsters? It is still the familiar peach blossom.
Jiang Yuan didn't stop, he continued to walk a few steps, since there were no monsters who stole his heart, he could sneak a look at what the outside world was like.
Jiang Yuan walked all afternoon, and did not go to the other end of the peach blossom, looking into the distance, Jiang Yuan found that no matter how he walked, it seemed that he was so far away from the other end.
Could it be that the old man in the village is lying? Peach Blossom has no other end, and there is no outside world?
Jiang Yuan was puzzled, he ran for another distance, but the other end of the peach blossom was still far away.
Is it true that the old man in the village is lying? There is no way to know, no one has ever left Peach Blossom Village, and no one has ever entered.
As for thinking that stepping out of the boundaries is the outside world, the old people in the village also listened to people older than them when they were children.
This is a taboo, no one dares to really step out, so no one can solve the doubts that Jiang Yuan encountered.
Jiang Yuan, who had been walking for a long time, was a little tired, watching the sun getting lower and lower, Jiang Yuan knew that it was time for him to go back.
He was running fast, he needed to go back quickly, and in the process of running, something that made Jiang Yuan even more confused appeared.
I walked for half a day, not to mention twenty or thirty miles, even if I ran fast, if I wanted to go back, it would take two or three hours.
But he just ran for two quarters of an hour and returned to Peach Blossom Village, which is impossible!
"Jiang Yuan, where have you been?" Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Yuan who was running back in a hurry, and asked with a frown.
"Uh, grandpa, I'm not going anywhere. Jiang Yuan was a little stumbling, and his eyes were in a trance.
It's easy to tell when a child lies.
"Really?" Jiang Chen asked in a cold voice, although he often lied to Jiang Yuan, he was not allowed to lie to himself.
"Really, grandpa, I'm so hungry!" Jiang Yuan nodded quickly, in fact, he knew in his heart that Jiang Chen knew that he was lying.
"The meal has already been prepared for you, hurry up and eat!" Jiang Chen said, "After eating, go to the wall." ”
"Okay, grandpa!" Jiang Yuan said happily, and then ran into the house.
This made Jiang Chen a little puzzled, in the past, Jiang Yuan made a mistake and punished him for facing the wall, he would pout his lips very reluctantly, why would he be so happy today?
Could it be that he was outside and because he caught a bird, he uncovered the tiles of other people's houses? Is this possible, Jiang Chen thought to himself.
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he would not have thought that Jiang Yuan took the step he didn't dare to take, and Jiang Yuan stepped out of the taboo in his heart.
