There are many steep mountains in southern Shaanxi, and then to the southwest, there are Qinling moats, which are full of lofty mountains and dangerous places, and there are few people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, if you pass through the Meridian Valley and walk through this uninhabited and dangerous road, there will be a paradise on earth in front of you. Since ancient times, the land of abundance has been here. Since the pre-Qin period, Li Bing was ordered to enter Shu and build water conservancy. Since then, the people in Shu have been abundant, and the wind and rain have been smooth. There is only one bad thing, that is, the road to Shu, which is too difficult to walk. The great poet Li Bai once had a famous article about the difficulty of Shu Dao, and he sighed about the difficulty of Shu Dao!

Su Zhuo thought about what was written in the book while looking ahead. Although he was still far away, he seemed to be able to see the majestic and dangerous peaks of the Qinling Mountains in the sky. The north wind howled, with a hint of ice and rain. This winter was a little colder than usual. Su Zhuo looked at the sky, the sky was overcast, as if it was going to rain. At this time, it was just past afternoon, but this day really made me think it was already evening.

Su Zhuo tightened the jacket on his body and continued to hurry. Here in the wilderness, there is no village in front of you, there is no store in the back, if you can't find a place with a roof, I'm afraid that you will really have to sleep in the wilderness. It's not terrible to sleep in the open, but if it rains again and freezes overnight, I'm afraid that even if you protect your body, you will have to get sick.

Just as he was worried, he saw a bright yellow dome unique to a small temple faintly revealing in the distance. However, although the roof could still be colored, it showed some signs of collapse, and there was some dead grass growing between the cracks in the tiles, swaying from side to side in the cold wind.

"It turned out to be a ruined temple. Su Zhuo thought so. But at this time, there is a ruined temple, which is better than nothing. He stepped up his pace, and finally entered the temple gate before the rain fell. It was raining lightly outside, and the cold wind blew and it was even more bleak.

Su Zhuo secretly rejoiced, and then looked at this dilapidated small temple. Before he came in, he had already seen the plaque on the temple gate and disappeared. Maybe it has been chopped up and burned as firewood. Su Zhuo thought secretly and walked into the only hall of the small temple. The hall was a mess, full of cobwebs. The offering table and bench have become wooden strips, and only a clay statue of the two gods remains, sitting in the middle of the temple, with black fangs and hideous appearance. Su Zhuo glanced at it and knew that this was a mountain temple. Because of the peculiar local customs, the mountain gods worshiped are a little different from other places.

It was miserable and rainy outside the temple, and the temple was not popular for a long time. Su shuddered awkwardly and placed the burden on a slightly cleaner step. He picked up the broken pieces of wood in the temple and piled them into a pile. Shake the fire fold and carefully light a fire.

The bonfire was lit, and there was a trace of warmth in the broken temple, which also made Su Zhuo's heart settle. He sat by the campfire, reaching close to the flames, and thinking about his thoughts as he roasted the fire.

The New Year is approaching, and it is really unreasonable for me to go to a foreign country alone. As early as a month ago, Ling Shuang and Hua Ping had sent letters inviting him to Suzhou to celebrate the New Year together. A few months ago, Hua Ping and Yan Linglong were sent by him to work in Jinling for a long time. The daughter of the two, Hua Niansu, was also fostered in Lingshuang's house and was taken care of by Su Qin. Who knew that the two families actually formed a deep friendship because of this. Su Qin has a son, who is only one year older than Hua Niansu. Su Qinyou likes girls, so he invited Warburg Pincus and his wife to be guests from time to time. The two families even talked about baby kissing.

As expected, the two discussed celebrating the New Year together this year. Faced with such an invitation, Su Zhuo refused, just because he had more important things to do. Just thinking about it, I suddenly became alert. Su Zhuo's eyebrows furrowed, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he raised his eyes to look outside the hall gate.

It was already dark outside, and the light rain still didn't stop. The rain was not heavy, but it was enough to soak everything and soak the biting chill into the bone marrow. In the black rain, there was a faint sound of chaotic footsteps. Su Zhuo's brows furrowed, but he didn't get up. With his current skills, his ear power has exceeded that of ordinary people, and the sound of his footsteps can be heard clearly, but in fact, he is at least a hundred and ten steps away from the mountain temple.

Judging by the footsteps, it was by no means one person, at least six or seven people. Su Zhuo carefully discerned, and could hear that one of them had very light steps, but it was not a situation where he was armed with martial arts. Because the sound of his footsteps was so chaotic, the light steps of this man were due to the lightness of his body. The footsteps of the others were a little farther away, but they were heavy and powerful, and seemed to have a little effort.

Su Zhuo heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and thought that the running man had discovered the mountain temple and was coming this way. Su Zhuo counted silently in his heart, and when he counted to fifty, his eyes suddenly raised. I just saw a person rushing in at the gate of the temple. However, this man surprised him a little. In came a young girl, with some thin clothes, and she was already soaked after running in the rain for a long time.

The girl looked flustered, and half of her cheeks were covered with green hair. Even if the firelight was dim and she couldn't see clearly, Su Zhuo could still see her worldly face, but she looked a little green. She rushed into the temple like this, like a frightened fawn, panicking. The girl was slightly taken aback when she saw the fire in the temple and Su Zhuo behind the fire.

However, the footsteps behind him became tighter, and the temple had no back door, and there was nowhere to escape. The girl looked around and whispered to Su Zhuo, "Don't say you've seen me!" After speaking, she hid behind the clay statue.

Su Zhuo never got up, and came back to his senses from the initial shock, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the girl hiding. At this moment, several men with five big and three thick men rushed in outside the temple gate. These people were all dressed in green clothes, with sticks in their hands, and ran into the temple gate, and they were all taken aback when they saw Su Zhuo.

Several people were shocked and looked at Su Zhuo a few times. Su Zhuo didn't care, and used a piece of wood to stir the bonfire and raise the flames. A big man said angrily: "Hey, let me ask you, have you seen a girl?"

He spoke in the Shaanxi dialect, and there was some taste of official dialect, which Su Zhuo could barely understand. But he deliberately said in Jiangnan soft language: "What? What is Nong talking about?"

Another bearded man was a little impatient, and he spoke in official language, "We asked you, did you see a woman come in?"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "Oh!

The bearded man was a little angry, and said, "I didn't see you, oh what! It's strange, I just saw the slut running this way......"

Su Zhuo smiled: "This black light is blinding, and it's raining, where are there any women?

The bearded man said angrily: "His grandmother, you stinky poor sour dare to ridicule Lao Tzu! I think you hid that slut! Hurry up and hand it over!"

A person next to him said: "The third child, don't make more trouble!"

The bearded man really stopped talking, and Su Zhuo smiled coldly. The man who had just spoken said again, "Let's look for it in the temple, we won't be able to run far!" As he spoke, several people scattered, lifted the dry grass, lifted the curtains, and began to look for the trace of the girl.

At this time, there was a slight sound from behind the statue. Su Zhuo heard it and thought to himself, it seemed that the girl was wet with clothes, and she didn't feel it when she ran, but when she stopped at this time, she shivered with cold.

Those people obviously hadn't heard the sound yet, Su Zhuo sighed helplessly, stood up and said, "Hey, big brothers, can you tell me who you are looking for?" )
