In the north of the Death Desert, at the junction of the country of Zhuer and another vassal country, the country of Taibing, there is a mountain called Yushan, which is the junction of the country of Taibing and the country of Yuaner, and the two countries have been bounded by Yushan since ancient times.
Thailand is bordered by the Northern Ictic Ocean to the northwest, the Chengdu Zai Tianshan Mountains to the east, and the Death Desert to the south.
Since the expansion of the Death Desert, it has been necessary to travel from the country of Death to the Celestial Empire, either through the Kingdom of Taibing or Xia Jun, or it will have to travel across the ocean and detour the continent to the eastern part of the Celestial Empire.
Because of the hostility with Xia Junguo for many years, and the diplomacy with Thailand and Bingguo was relatively gentle, almost all the road traffic from the country of Zhuer to the kingdom of the Celestial Empire over the years was through Thailand.
It is rumored that this was once a famous jade production area, and there used to be gold and iron ore, but with the depletion of the aura of heaven and earth, the jade has long disappeared, and the gold and iron ore has long been mined, so almost everyone moved away.
It is said that they have moved away, but in fact there are still people living here, but over the years, their lives have become more and more difficult, the birth rate in the village is getting lower and lower, most of the young people have left and never returned, the village of less than 100 households is now only more than 10 households, only some old people and a very small number of young people are still here to hold on.
On the top of the mountain, there is a dilapidated Taoist temple, there are two masters and apprentices in the Taoist temple, who live on the top of the mountain and rarely come down the mountain.
The barren fields cultivated by the villagers in the mountains do not even produce much food, and the old people save their own food for the young and children, but even so, it is still not enough.
The homeland is difficult to leave, even if it is such a barren homeland, but it is still nostalgic, I don't know how many times the resolution of the road to move was collectively vetoed by the old people in the village.
They just drove the young people away and left them alone with old men and old ladies.
For them, it is better to die in the place where they have lived for generations than to die on the way to migration.
Here, it is like the original Mengcheng, the original Xiayan Village, and the Xiayan Village where Zibaifeng was not encountered.
If there is no Zi Baifeng, there is no trick to raising demons, but in a few years, Xiayan Village will become like this.
The mountain village is halfway up the mountainside, and from here, you can see that the edge of the Desert of Death is getting closer, and each day is closer than the previous one.
At the entrance of the village, there is a dilapidated shop, on which the dilapidated signboard of "Guojiadian" is hung.
Guojiadian is the name of this small shop, and it is also the name of this small village.
But this small shop has been closed for twelve years, until some time ago, a beautiful masked woman who never speaks has settled here.
Perhaps it was this beautiful woman who brought joy, after the beginning of spring, in the land of Guojiadian, the crops actually grew gratifyingly, and the buds were drawn early and lush seedlings grew.
It is said that the spring rain is as expensive as oil, and in March, I don't know where a cloud came from, and it rained here for three or five days, the rain was not big, but it greatly moistened the thirsty land, and the seedlings in the ground grew like crazy, scrambling to stretch their limbs and bear the sunshine and rain.
The old people in the village were smiling, and their spirits seemed to be much stronger. And the young and middle-aged people in the village are happily squatting on the ridges all day long, for fear that all this is just fake.
"This year is a bumper harvest year! It must be the manifestation of the mountain god. "The old people kneel in a small shrine behind Guojiadian Village and worship the mountain god with a blurred face.
Under the seat of the mountain god, a fox statue squatted there, and it could vaguely be seen that it had three tails on its tail, and the posture of anticipation was vivid.
The younger people were more active, discussing the news outside the ancestral hall: "Did you see it? I saw it yesterday when I went up hunting, and it's a big fox!"
"I also saw that the fox still has three tails, exactly the same as the fox messenger under the seat of the mountain god!"
"What a fox, it's a fox fairy, that's a fox fairy!" another villager whispered to him, "The fox fairy's ears are very pointed, you must not say bad things in the back, if the fox fairy hears it and makes you confused, it is not a joke." ”
Several young people were frightened and excited, looked around a few times, lowered their voices, and began to discuss the problem of the fox fairy.
"That's Brother Dali, what is he going to do?" A half-grown young man suddenly pointed in the direction of the mountain forest, and a sturdy young man was striding down the mountain with a hunting bow in one hand and a pheasant in the other.
"I must have gone to find that little lady again. Another young man laughed.
"Don't talk about Sister Bai like that!" the half-grown boy suddenly became dissatisfied.
"You kid, it's really not a good thing, I bought you for a meal of stewed chicken, and Sister Bai ......" The angry young man just wanted to say a few more words, but found that his companions were staring at him unkindly, he quickly closed his mouth and said, "I didn't say anything......"
In fact, he was sour for a while, because he had also launched a fierce offensive against the white girl, but people ignored him at all, and they didn't even look at him with a straight eye.
The white girl is not actually surnamed Bai, after she came, she almost never communicated with people, just a person quietly doing her own thing, sometimes disappearing, and only appeared after several days.
She wears white clothes all day long, and she is always spotless, so she is called the White Girl.
It's just that she is actually a kind-hearted girl, and when she meets the villagers, she sometimes smiles, which makes people feel comfortable. She is also literate, and some people saw that she once re-wrote the couplets outside the ancestral hall, and the handwriting was beautiful and neat.
She also knows how to heal, when Guo Erye made an old mistake, she picked herbs from the mountain, mashed them and fed them to Guo Erye, so that Guo Erye picked up a life.
Dali is the eldest grandson of Guo Erye, and he is the best hunter in the village, from that day on, Guo Dali ran to the entrance of the village without anything, sometimes he hunted prey, and he would also give some to the white girl, although she would refuse most of the time.
Once Guo Dali's character exploded, he beat four pheasants and gave her two, she stewed a pot of stewed chicken directly, and put it at the door of the small shop at the entrance of the village, the little guys in the village were attracted by the fragrance, and ran over with drool, and she shared a bowl for each person.
It's hard not to be a likable girl, but it's a pity that she never interacts much with the people in the village, and the fact that she never speaks adds to the mystery.
If she had leisure, she would sit on a stone outside Guo's shop, quietly looking at the desert of death in the distance, sometimes gentle in her eyes, sometimes confused, that look could make everyone she saw melt inside.
No one knew what she was thinking when she looked into the distance.
Guo Dali is interesting to the white girl, everyone knows that if anyone else dares to say bad things about the white girl behind his back, he will definitely disagree, and he will definitely teach them a lesson with his fists.
During the time that the white girl was here, she was not always alone, once a little guy wearing a deer antler hat and rabbit teeth came to look for her, and the little boy appeared here alone, stayed for a few days, and then disappeared, and I don't know where the road had gone.
Guo Dali carried the pheasant and ran to Guo's shop, and saw the white girl looking at the Desert of Death again.
The boundary line of the Death Desert was already approaching the foot of the mountain, and after the old people in the village discussed it, there was nothing they could do but increase the frequency of going to the mountain temple.
The roads around Yushan are inaccessible, and the roads leading to the outside are almost completely blocked by the Death Desert, and even if they want to escape now, they can't escape.
The old man does not leave, and the young man does not want to leave, even though he watches the death line gradually approach, he can only sit and wait for death.
It's such a bad feeling that only the most heartless person can laugh at such a time.
This year's good weather has given them a false expectation, as if they can solve the troubles of the Desert of Death by worshipping the mountain gods.
"White Girl...... Are you injured?" walked to the side of the white girl, Guo Dali's eyes widened, and there was a little blood red on the white girl's shoulder, which was smeared on the white clothes, which was particularly conspicuous.
Just by glancing at it, Guo Dali immediately saw that this was a wound caused by a sword, and a beast would definitely not cause such a wound.
"Who? Which son of a bitch? I flayed him!" Guo Dali stood up, his face red and his neck thick with anger, "Is it Guo Sanjie, which bastard bullied you again? I'll kill him!"
Guo Dali turned around and wanted to leave, but his arm was grabbed, Guo Dali turned his head, and saw the white girl stretch out a hand and grab his thick and dark palm.
"White ...... Bai ......" Guo Dali's head slammed, almost exploding, although he had been pursuing Bai Girl, he had never had physical contact with her, let alone holding a small hand.
"It's not him. The white girl said suddenly.
The soft voice is like a wind chime colliding, Guo Dali has never heard such a pleasant sound, it is simply a natural sound.
"You...... I...... You're going to ......" Guo Dali's head short-circuited.
White girl, she can actually speak?
"Who is that? I'm going to kill him!" After a while, Guo Dali's chest stopped rising and falling violently, and he didn't dare to look at the white girl, but just asked in a rough voice with his neck sideways.
"Brother Guo, you are a good person. The white girl said, hearing the white girl say that he was a good person, Guo Dali's heart suddenly bloomed, he didn't know how cruel the next sentence was, "It's just that I'm not worthy of you." ”
Guo Dali fell from heaven to hell in an instant, and his heart was half cold.
After a while, he still stiffened his neck and asked, "Who is it?"
"Brother Guo......" The white girl sighed and said, "I really don't deserve you." ”
