falling dust

In the past few days, they were either on a boring journey or found towns to inquire about Jiuyou Mountain. Fortunately, both Yun Shi and Jiang Lian were patient people, and the driver in front was not timid, so Jiang Lian went to read the book "Mountains and Rivers" Strange Records".

Suddenly she pointed to Yunshi: "There is a record here: "The south of Chongsui Mountain is Xiaobuzhou Mountain, and there is another strange mountain called Diyou Mountain in the south of Xiaobuzhou Mountain. There are many spirits and strange beasts in the mountain, and it is the head of Jiuyou. "

Yun Shi asked doubtfully, "The head of Jiuyou? Isn't this Jiuyou Mountain a mountain??"

Jiang Lian raised his head from the book with a frown and said, "No." After finishing speaking, she pointed out the place described in the book to Yun Shi.

There are densely packed small characters describing all kinds of strange mountains and rivers, one of which continues: "East and west of Diyou Mountain are divided into Suiyou, and Hengyou Mountain is dangerous and cannot be stepped on. The south of Diyou Mountain is Yuyou, and there are gods and people living on it. You should not enter lightly." When she saw the cloud here, she couldn't stand it any longer, and she said disappointedly: "This was clearly fabricated by someone, and there are no gods nowadays."

Jiang Lian was also puzzled, and she comforted her: "There is no wind in the hole. The gods and men may be fake, but the mountains may not be fake. Why don't you go and find out."

Yun Shi pushed the book into Jiang Lian's arms and said in annoyance: "If there are really nine mountains, which one should we go to? We can't find them one by one. What year and month will we get?"

Jiang Lian didn't look up and replied: "There are descriptions in the book, you don't want to read it, let me read it, since Miss Shang told Aunt Liu about your illness, she gave you this book not to relieve boredom."

Suddenly Jiang Lian raised his head and asked, "What's the matter with your illness? It's so strange?"

Yun Shi lowered his eyes and was a little confused: "It's been like this since I was ten years old. The older I get, the more frequent the attacks are. My mother said that this is what I have to bear. I don't know how long I will bear it. If it weren't for Sister Shang, I would have died. It's been many times."

Seeing her slumped, Jiang Lian comforted her and said, "Don't be discouraged. If you can really find Yuyou, and you will be cured by a magical encounter, you won't have to suffer from it in the future."

Seeing that her eyes were shining brightly, Yun Shi didn't want to spoil the fun, so he said casually, "Okay."

When Yun Shi heard about Yuyou Mountain, he remembered the phrase that there are gods and men living there, and felt that this matter was more and more illusory, and even the Jiuyou Mountain became illusory, so she fought to avoid Jiang Lian's concern Spirit.

After traveling for two months, the driver suddenly fell ill. Yun Shi asked the doctor to leave some money for him, so that he could go back on his own after he recovered.

The two of them didn't find another driver, and after another month and a half, they arrived at a small town that was not prosperous. The place where the town was located was very quiet. In the crescent moon, there are clear springs flowing from the mountains, bypassing the town and gathering at the mouth of the town, forming a crystal-clear semicircular small lake. The crescent moon formed by the green hills just makes up a full moon. A bamboo bridge spans the outside world and the town from the lake. Connected in series, a half-person-high boundary tablet is exposed in the lake, with two ancient characters engraved on it.

Jiang Lian felt dizzy for a while, subconsciously said: "Hengyou"

Yun Shi recognized those two characters for a long time, but when Jiang Lian opened his mouth, Yun Shi turned his head to look at Jiang Lian in surprise: "You can recognize this very ancient font."

Jiang Lian also didn't understand how she knew it, but she knew what the character was when she saw it. She was not sure: "Perhaps I have seen this type of font before."

It is an exaggeration to say that this place is a small town, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a village. It is really small, not because the place is small, but because there are too few people. There are hundreds of houses in total, and there is not even an inn. A woman of similar age to them is willing to let them live.

The two came to the woman's house, opened the bamboo door and went in. A five-year-old girl was playing with a two-year-old child in the yard. The two-year-old child was very happy to see the woman. She ran over and shouted as she ran, "Gu Ying, Gu Ying."

The woman put the bamboo basket in her hand on the ground, hugged her dotingly and turned her head to explain to the two of them: "This is my youngest daughter, and over there is my eldest daughter. The youngest daughter is naughty, and she called me just now." name, you can call me Gu Ying."

Jiang Lian nodded in agreement.

Yun Shi saw that the child in her arms had big eyes and was very intelligent, and he was not afraid of strangers. Yun Shi looked at her, and she turned to look at Yun Shi. Yun Shi felt that the child was really cute, and she smiled softly at the child and followed Gu Shadow entered the house.

Yun Shi took a good look at the house, and it was somewhat similar to her Yingzhu Garden in Jingzhou. She already thought that Gu Ying was pure and kind-hearted, but now that she saw the elegant layout of her home, she liked Gu Ying even more in her heart. , she asked: "Gu Ying, what about your husband, why are there only three of you?"

While washing her little daughter's face, Gu Ying replied: "My husband has gone to the mountain to mine. Our town relies on the mountain for food. The Hengyou Mountain is very rich in minerals and jade, and it feeds the people of our town."

Yun Shi only realized when she heard Hengyou Mountain. Why did she feel familiar with the two words Jiang Lian read on the boundary tablet, so it turned out to be Hengyou Mountain? She said: "Then your town is called Hengyou Mountain. town."

Gu Ying hung the towel on the shelf and replied with a smile: "Yes, the girl is really smart." After a pause, she asked again: "I don't know how to call the two girls, but the girls come and go like girls."

Yun Shi also smiled and replied: "You call me Yun Shi, and her name is Jiang Lian." Suddenly she thought that since she found Hengyou Mountain, Yuyou Mountain must not be far away. Jiuyou Mountain, she asked, "Gu Ying, is the mountain to the east the Hengyou Mountain?"

Gu Ying said: "Yes, every few months, a group of people in the town will go to the mountains to mine ore and sell them outside the town, but the people in our town are not greedy, we only mine enough for our daily needs, and people are usually not allowed to go to the mountains. of."

Yun Shi wondered: "Oh? Why is that? Could it be because he was afraid that someone would steal the mines."

Gu Ying explained: "It's not always true. I heard that there are fierce beasts in the mountains. If you encounter them, you will die."

"Oh. That's right. It's normal for this kind of mountain forest to have ferocious beasts." Yun Shi looked stunned, but he was worried in his heart. There was only this road, and he was not allowed to enter the mountain. How would she cross Hengyou Mountain to find Yuyou Mountain? , she just took a rough look at the green hill, which was surrounded by cliffs on three sides. If she wanted to enter the mountain, she had to walk through the town.

On the second day, Yun Shi closed his eyes and basked in the sun in the courtyard. Jiang Lian was still flipping through the old "Strange Records of Mountains and Rivers" next to her.Gu Ying got up early and went out. The two children slept late in the house, and the courtyard was very quiet.

When she heard the sound of the door being pushed, she raised her eyes and saw that it was Gu Ying, so she greeted her with a smile, and then saw a woman behind Gu Ying, with a beautiful appearance, and her temperament and demeanor were not like the people in this town, she was puzzled , but did not ask the export.

Gu Ying explained with a smile: "This girl is called Shao Ling. Her husband is ill. She and her husband came here to seek medical treatment." Speaking of Shao Ling, another man walked out behind him. She bowed her hands and bowed, her figure was as elegant as Zhilan.

Yun Shi was taken aback, got up and said with a smile: "Hello, me and..." She glanced at Jiang Lian and said, "My sister and I are also here to find medicine, my name is Yun Shi, my sister Jiang Lian. "

Shao Ling saw her self-reported name and said frankly: "Miss Gu has just introduced my name, my husband..."

Without waiting for her introduction, the man cupped his hands to Jiang Lianyun and said, "I'm in your arms."

After they got to know each other, Gu Ying gave them the eldest daughter's room.

After returning to the room, Yun Shi said: "One of them is straightforward and innocent, the other is elegant, and they don't seem like treacherous people either,"

Jiang Lian was noncommittal: "If it is not a coincidence, it is premeditated, and the evil is not in the face."

Yun Shi nodded and said: "You're right, we traveled all the way to poor mountains and rivers, if he is sick, how can he persist here."

Jiang Lian glanced at the cloud, meaning that you are also a patient and you have persisted here.

Seeing her look over, Yun Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what she meant, and said, "It's not like you haven't seen my disease before, so it's naturally different from ordinary patients."

Jiang Lian frowned and said seriously: "It's better to find Yuyou Mountain as soon as possible to cure you."

Although his tone was cold but every word was full of concern, what warmed Yun Shi's heart were Jiang Lian's words of concern for her, so he stopped thinking about the sudden two.

In this extreme northern land, there is such a quiet place like a paradise, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, there is someone who cares by your side, and you don't hate her, if mother and sister Yuji are here, this is her life The middle is complete.

At night, the night wind blows through the forest in the mountain, and there is the rustling sound of leaves, soft and gentle, like a soft lullaby. These days, Yunshi has inquired and heard that it is impossible for outsiders to be allowed to enter the mountain. She has no better way but to be with Jiang Lian sneaked into the mountains at night to explore the mountain roads. Fortunately, although outsiders were not allowed to enter the mountains, she did not encounter any obstacles when entering the mountains. She was puzzled for a while and stopped thinking about the reason.

With the moonlight, she could barely see the scenery a few steps away. Yun Shi's eyesight has been better than ordinary people since she was a child, and now with the moonlight, she is much better than Jiang Lian in this mountain.

Because the people in the town are extremely protective of the mountain forest that raised them, every plant and tree in the mountain grows very lush and full of vitality. After walking for a long time, the cloud said strangely: "They should step on a road when they go up the mountain to mine. Why is there no trace in this mountain, as if no one has ever come up?"

Jiang Lian also had doubts, when Yun Shi asked, she hesitated and said, "Could it be the other side?"

Yun Shi said: "I have seen those three sides, and there are cliffs all around, why did they abandon this side and take risks on those few cliffs?"

Jiang Lian shook her head, Yun Shi stopped talking, and just chopped down the messy branches in front of her with a sword to make a small path. Jiang Lian saved a lot of trouble by walking behind her.

The breeze suddenly became stronger, and the scenery in the distance was blurry. A black shadow flitted through the mottled shadows of the trees. When Yun Shi looked carefully, there was nothing unusual except for the chaotic grass driven by the wind. She wondered if she was wrong, but she couldn't help but Be vigilant, and inadvertently draw a few steps closer to Jiang Lian.

Looking at the mountain from outside the town is not unusual, but when you come in, you will find yourself looking at the sky from a well. The green mountains and forests rise and fall one after another. Whenever you think you are about to climb to the top of the mountain, you will find that you have just climbed over a layer between its ups and downs. The scenery in the distance can be seen It seems to be all in front of your eyes, but it takes a long time to actually walk.

Dawn was about to break, and the cloud hour was already exhausted. When she turned her head and saw Jiang Lian's brows were tired, she suggested, "Why don't we go back and come back another day, if Gu Ying sees that we are not here and has doubts, it will be difficult for us to enter the mountain again. "

Jiang Lian raised his eyes and saw Yun Shi was tired and listless. He also knew that she was not as good as himself, so he stopped pushing and replied: "Okay" and went to hold Yun Shi's hand, so that she could relax when going down the mountain, and immediately Yun Shi's tired face There are two more airs on the face.

The two of them sneaked back into the room at dawn, and Gu Ying went out early in the morning, so he didn't notice any strangeness between the two of them, but the man named Jun Huai stood in the courtyard like a bamboo, looking at the distant mountains and forests If you think about it, this Jun Huai has always been a gentleman, very elegant, and he would sing the wind and enjoy the flowers in the courtyard every morning.

When Yun Shi usually met, he would just nod his head as a greeting, but Jiang Lian was always indifferent, turning a blind eye to their husband and wife.

Yun Shi opened the door and went out, stood under the eaves and said: "My lord, Yaxing, why isn't Miss Shaoling with you today?"

Seeing his question, Jun Huai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled softly, and said: "She is not feeling well today, so she is still resting in the house."

Yun Shi was surprisingly talkative, and asked with concern: "Is it important? My sister's medical skills are quite high. I studied with her for a while, and ordinary minor illnesses can still be diagnosed. Do you want me to help you?"

Jun Huai hurriedly said: "But the water and soil are not suitable, it doesn't matter." He glanced at the bamboo house behind Yunshi and said strangely: "I can't see that Miss Jiang is so indifferent, but she is a master of medicine."

Yun Shi suddenly remembered that when he introduced him, he called Jiang Lian's sister, and the sister she mentioned just now was Shang Yuji, which caused him to misunderstand.

It was a very early pit, and it has recently been filled.
