The highest mountain here. "

Xiao Xiao smiled and continued, "It's called 'Wuyun Terrace'. Due to the terrain, there is a lot of rain. As long as it rains, you can often see the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain in the early morning of spring and summer, dancing with the mountain wind. , hence the name."

"what?"

Ruan Mudeng turned his head abruptly, his voice raised unconsciously, "What do you call that mountain?!"

"..."

Xiao Xiao frowned, and looked strangely at her apprentice who suddenly became energetic, "It's called 'Wuyuntai', what's wrong?"

"...If...there is a 'Dancing Cloud Platform'..."

Ruan Mudeng's memory is really good, even in a dream, even if it's just a word casually said by the master in the dream, he still remembers it clearly - he clearly remembers Xiao Xiao and that surname in the dream Tao's old peach seller once said the word "Wuyuntai" during the conversation!

"There, is there another mountain spring?"

he asked tremblingly.

"I remember...it seems to be there."

Xiao Xiao looked at him with an increasingly puzzled expression, "However, it has been dry for a long time, how do you know?"

Ruan Mudeng didn't answer, just lowered his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "I want to see that spring..."

Chapter 56, Seven, Youxian 08

Although the distance between the two mountains does not look far, if they want to go down to the foot of the mountain, and then go all the way along the mountain road to Wuyuntai on the opposite side, it may be enough for them to walk until the sun goes down.Fortunately, there is a cableway between the two mountains. Although it has been in disrepair for a long time, it is very dilapidated. Many places, not to mention the handrails, even the wooden boards under the feet are broken and disappeared. However, it goes without saying that Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng are both skilled. It is more than enough to take this dangerous path.

So an hour and a half later, the master and the apprentice were already standing on the hillside of Wuyun Terrace. Xiao Xiao raised her finger and pointed to a shaded place on a steep slope, "I remember that the spring water should come from there, but it has dried up long ago." Well... well, it must have been more than ten years?"

Ruan Mudeng looked at the surrounding terrain, climbed up to a crooked boxwood on the edge of the steep slope, and then grabbed the hanging creeper, turned it up three times, five times, and leaned over to check the soil on the slope.

Province J has a lot of rainfall, and in the lush forests, there will be mountain springs emerging from time to time.

The young man searched carefully on the slope for a while, and soon found the remains of the creek washed out by the spring water over the years, followed the traces back to the source, and finally found the old spring at a hundred steps away.

The spring is not big, located under a cliff, with a luxuriant wild persimmon tree growing on top of it, it seems that broken branches and fallen leaves and rotten persimmon mud have accumulated over the years, eventually blocking the spring and causing the mountain spring to stop flowing.

"Well, it turned out to be here."

Xiao Xiao also followed Ruan Mudeng up the slope at some point, and at the moment she was looking at the stagnant spring, seeing that the young man had folded a piece of paper and was playing with the rotten leaves and dry paper and a piece of paper covering the spring. Layer reddish-brown persimmon puree mixture.

"I want to clean this place up."

Ruan Mudeng turned to look at the master, "Let's see if we can let the spring flow again."

Xiao Xiao was speechless for a moment.

He didn't know why the well-behaved and obedient young man who was even a bit sullen on weekdays insisted on confronting this dilapidated dry spring across the hill.

"Are you going to dig with this?"

He pointed to the small branch in Ruan Mudeng's hand, and said coolly: "I think it might be faster to dig it with bare hands."

"I'll go back first and ask Uncle Huang to borrow a shovel."

Ruan Mudeng has helped farmers today, so he has also seen the small room where farm tools are kept in the backyard of the Taoist temple. Of course there are shovels in it.

But it takes a full four hours to go back and forth, and it is almost noon now, and even including the time to clean up these dead branches, rotten leaves, rotten soil and mud, I am afraid that I will be busy until dark.

Xiao Xiao didn't know what kind of wind her apprentice was having today, but seeing that the other party's attitude was firm, and if he couldn't be persuaded, she simply waved her hand and let him go.

So the two turned back to the Taoist temple like this, Xiao Xiao refused to accompany Ruan Mudeng on this trip again, just watched the young man hurriedly picked up a bowl of rice, then took a shovel and a flashlight and went out until the sun was fully When I went down the mountain, I saw people coming back with a muddy and disheveled face.

"How is it, the spring has been cleaned up?"

Xiao Xiao sat in the apprentice's room, with her legs crossed grandly, watching the young man lower his head and scoop up water from the wooden basin to wash.

"Ah."

Ruan Mudeng was wiping his face with a towel, and when he heard the master's teasing question, he answered honestly, "It was cleaned up, and I dug half a meter of soil there, and the spring water gushed out again."

"Oh~"

Xiao Xiao replied in a long way, "You can tell me now, what is the reason for making such a trip today?"

"No... nothing..."

Ruan Mudeng involuntarily recalled those sweet and charming scenes last night, and the pretty face buried in the towel suddenly flushed again.

Poor him, on the one hand, he couldn't answer the master's questions honestly, and on the other hand, he was not good at lying, so a layer of hot sweat broke out on his forehead, and he shook his head vigorously, "Well, I heard that it's a pity that my eyes are so dry, so I want to help help……"

"Who are you trying to help?"

Xiao Xiao leaned forward and moved closer to Ruan Mudeng, her amber eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, shining a strange brilliance under the oil lamp, as if she could see through the flesh and blood and see into people's hearts, "Also, you And who did you listen to..."

Ruan Mudeng couldn't answer, he just bit his lip, turned his face away and didn't speak.

The two were in a stalemate for a moment, Xiao Xiao sighed softly, compromised first, reached out and patted her apprentice on the shoulder.

"Okay, don't say it if you don't want to."

He laughed, and the sternness in his eyes melted away in an instant.

"After all, when a child grows up, he will always have his own secret... Come on, you should change your clothes soon. The three of us outside have been waiting for us for dinner for a long time."

Dinner is still simple farm food, a group of people talking and laughing, the atmosphere is also harmonious.

It's just that Ruan Mudeng noticed that Shi Yi, who was sitting across from him, always looked at him secretly, but once the two people's eyes met, the little guy would always quickly bury his face in the rice bowl, pretending to concentrate on eating, like As if nothing happened.

This weird attitude was too obvious, so the young man was careful after dinner. When the child hugged another quilt and said that he wanted to change it for him, Ruan Mudeng politely stopped him from the door. He wasn't allowed in the house at all.

Yesterday I experienced a night of chaotic dreams, and today I have been tired all day. Although Ruan Mudeng is still thinking about the strange and luscious dream last night, he is very excited, but when he touches the pillow, his eyelids feel like they are full. Like lead, he couldn't open it again, but after three breaths, he quickly met Duke Zhou.

&&&&&&&&&

The dense and cool raindrops dripped on his face. Ruan Mudeng woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes. the rain.

He rolled over and sat up, looked down, and found that he was sleeping under the wall of the small courtyard at the end of the long street. He was still wearing the dress he dreamed of last night, a dark blue straight dress with silver flowing cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem , and even the Zhoucang mask with a blue face and a small amount was placed obliquely on top of his head.

"You're here."

Hearing a familiar voice with a smile on his face, the young man looked up and saw a man standing a dozen steps away from the rain curtain, dressed in blue, holding an oiled paper umbrella painted with hydrangeas in his hand, with blue-faced fangs on his face His ghostly face—except that he didn’t wear a bun, and his long black hair hung softly on his shoulders, everything about that person was exactly the same as last night, without any change—as if, he had been standing here all day and all night, just waiting for himself Come back to mediocre.

Ruan Mudeng only felt that his heart was hot, as if he was instantly filled with some strong emotion, so full that it almost burst him.

It's not that he hasn't thought about whether this dream is the ghost trick of some mountain spirit and wild monster, or some magic trick like phantom nightmare. All kinds of styles are so realistic and vivid, who can imitate them?

Ruan Mudeng was overwhelmed, but Ruan Mudeng couldn't control his movements.

He jumped up, took a few steps across the short distance, opened his hands, and hugged the man tightly in his arms.

The oil-paper umbrella painted with lifelike and gorgeous hydrangeas slipped from Xiao Xiao's hand and fell to the ground. The purple and blue flower balls on the umbrella surface were completely wet by the rain like real falling flowers.

It's just that neither of them has the time to care about these things.

They just hugged each other's shoulders and backs tightly, the masks were lifted behind their heads, like travelers who have been traveling for a long time in the desert and finally found the source of life-saving water. His breathing was so intense that he seemed to swallow the other person into his stomach.

"Ah Ruan... um..."

Xiao Xiao struggled to get a little space from the young man's entwining kiss, and there was still a strand of silver hanging from the corner of her lips.He stuck out his tongue, quickly licked the water stain, and blew on Ruan Mudeng's lips quickly and hotly, "Let's change places..."

"Ok?"

Ruan Mudeng actually didn't hear what Xiao Xiao said, but only vaguely agreed, his lips had already chased him, wanting to continue the action that was intense and sweet like poppy nectar a few seconds ago.

"go!"

However, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but put the two masks back on their respective faces, and then, regardless of the umbrella that fell on the ground, she directly pulled the young man up.
