Gao Xuanchen grew up in Chuxiu Mountain. When he was very young, there were only two places in his mind, one was Chuxiu Mountain and the other was outside the mountain.

To him at that time, leaving Xiushan was already a very big place.After walking a mountain and walking through every path on the mountain, it will take seven or eight days of energy consumption; if you open up a few new paths in the woods and weeds, looking for new vitality and fun, then you will consume energy. For a whole month.And Chuxiu Mountain has many mountains and stretches for tens of miles.All kinds of birds, animals, flowers and plants in the mountains accompanied Gao Xuanchen throughout his childhood.

Once he asked Bai Jinfei: "Uncle Fei, why do you always go outside the mountains? Is there any more interesting place outside the mountains than in the mountains?"

His question made Bai Jinfei stunned for a moment.Bai Jinfei picked him up, put him on his lap, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Chen, do you know how big the world is?"

The word "world" has no concept in Gao Xuanchen's little head. He thought for a while, and asked curiously: "The world is outside the mountain and inside the mountain. How big is the outside of the mountain?" He opened his small arms , trying to stretch to the extreme, "Is there a mountain as big?"

Platinum Fei laughed.

Gao Xuanchen happened to have learned some ancient poetry and prose at that time, and took the opportunity to play with his literary talents: "Ten points in the world, nine points in the mountains, and one point outside the mountains?"

Bai Jinfei laughed outright.

Gao Xuanchen was dissatisfied: "Uncle Fei, what are you laughing at?"

Bai Jinfei said: "It's small. Can you guess again?"

"Then... ten points in the world, eight points inside the mountain, and two points outside the mountain?"

"Guess again."

Gao Xuanchen made another guess with great reluctance. This time, he was ruthless, and guessed as far as he could think: "The world is ten...five points inside the mountain...five points outside the mountain?"

His expression was like half of his favorite sweet was forcibly divided, and his little face was about to wrinkle into a ball.Bai Jinfei was amused by his appearance, kissed his little cheek, and stopped forcing him to guess: "Xiaochen is so smart, she guessed right this time."

Gao Xuanchen didn't breathe a sigh of relief, but was very dissatisfied with the answer.Unconvinced, he asked Bai Jinfei: "Is there any fun place outside the mountain?"

"Have."

"Is there a beautiful place outside the mountain?"

"Have."

"It's more fun and beautiful than in the mountains?!"

Bai Jinfei smiled and narrowed his eyes, his eyes fluctuated, as if thinking of a far away place.He rubbed Gao Xuanchen's head, and said: "Xiaochen, for me, there is the best place in this world. That place is like the Xiushan Mountain in your heart"

Gao Xuanchen didn't understand what kind of place it was, so he pestered Bai Jinfei to ask why, but Bai Jinfei didn't give him a satisfactory answer, but just told him.One day, you will understand.When you grow up, you will naturally understand.

Later, Gao Xuanchen grew up a little bit, became a little more sensible, reluctantly gave in and backed down a little bit—ten points in the world, one point for going out of Xiushan Mountain, and nine points for going outside the mountain.He became curious about what was beyond the mountains.

He asked Bai Jinfei, where is the most beautiful and fun place outside the mountain?

Bai Jinfei put him on his lap and told him about the most fun and beautiful places outside the mountains.He said that there is a city there, and the houses there have horse-headed walls and small green tiles.Entering the city, there is an old man on the left side of the street who is setting up a stall to make sugar figurines, and on the right side of the street is a candied date shop, the candied dates are big and sweet.The busiest restaurant in the city, but the taste is not as good as the small shop on the roadside.

The older Gao Xuanchen grew up, the more curious he became about the world beyond the mountains.Every time Bai Jinfei came back, he would pester Bai Jinfei to tell him about the world and people outside the mountain.

He heard about the city beyond the mountain from Bai Jinfei, the city beyond the mountain was full of vitality, and the city beyond the mountain was vivid on paper.He knew of a city where there was a white foal in a stable in the west of the city, and the foal was gentle; There are jujube trees planted on the mountain in the north of the city, and the candied dates are so sweet that they are greasy; he knows that there is a wine shop in the south of the city that smells so fragrant that it can be smelled three streets away.But he never heard Bai Jinfei mention the word Xuanzhou, never heard Bai Jinfei talk about himself.Bai Jinfei has always been just a person who stays out and tells stories.

He also asked Bai Jinfei, what is the best food, what is the best drink, and who is the most beautiful person outside the mountain?

Bai Jinfei said that Xuan papaya is the best, Jingting Lvxue is the best to drink, and the girl who washes clothes by the river is the most beautiful.

Gao Xuanchen never knew exactly what place Bai Jinfei was talking about, he didn't even know that what Bai Jinfei said was actually in the same city.When he left Xiushan that year, he thought that one day he would travel all over the world and find a city with stables in the west; a city with a small river in the east; and a city with mountains and jujube trees in the north. ; Find a city with a wine shop in the south of the city.He didn't know how many years it would take him to find all the places that Bai Jinfei had mentioned, and he didn't know when he would be able to meet the most beautiful girl in clothes.

Until he came to Xuanzhou.

Ji Qingze picked up the teapot, poured two cups of Jingting Luxue, and handed one cup to Gao Xuanchen.

The tea was very hot, so Gao Xuanchen pushed the teacup aside to let it cool, and started to eat the Xuan papaya on the table.Xuan papaya is a specialty of Xuanzhou, and Gao Xuanchen has never eaten it before.The flesh of Xuan papaya is bright red, the taste is not crisp, and the taste is not too sweet, but slightly astringent.

After he tasted it, he pondered for a moment and asked Ji Qingze: "Do you think this melon is delicious?"

Ji Qingze's taste is closer to Gao Xuanchen's, so he said euphemistically, "Well...it's okay."

Gao Xuanchen smiled, and said, "It's not as delicious as the wild fruit on Chuxiu Mountain."

He picked up the cup of Jingting Luxue again, and sipped the hot tea while cooling it down.

The mist from the tea covered Gao Xuanchen's face, and when he put down his teacup, Ji Qingze unexpectedly found that his eyes were a little red.

He asked Ji Qingze again: "Do you think this tea is delicious?"

Ji Qingze nodded: "It smells good."

"It's quite fragrant." Gao Xuanchen opened his red eyes wide and looked up at the sky.After a long while, he finally suppressed the water in his eyes.He said with a smile, "But I still think that the wild tea on Chuxiu Mountain is more fragrant."

He also remembered that when he was young, Bai Jinfei had told him that in his heart, there was the best place in the world.That place is like Chuxiu Mountain in Xiaochen's heart.He didn't understand at that time, Bai Jinfei said, he will understand one day.

A mouthful of mellow Jingting green snow fell into his throat, and he finally understood.

When Bai Qingyang insisted on sending Bai Jinfei back to Xuanzhou for burial, he was reluctant in his heart.Although their brothers had personally erected a tombstone for their future self in their hometown more than 20 years ago, after all, it was more than [-] years ago. Could it be that people have not changed in more than [-] years?Returning the soul to his hometown is not necessarily what Bai Jinfei would like to see.However, Bai Qingyang was very persistent, so he had no choice but to obey.

Now he no longer has that resentment in his heart.

If Bai Jinfei still had the sanity to make a decision for himself, it must be the decision he made more than twenty years ago.No matter where he has gone in his life and how long he has stayed, his roots still remain here.

Just like going out of Xiushan to Gao Xuanchen.

After drinking tea and eating Xuan papaya, Gao Xuanchen got up and said, "Let's go, I want to see Uncle Fei."

They left the teahouse, followed the prompt given by Bai Qingyang before leaving the mountain, and found the Shen family's cemetery not long after.On the cemetery, several tombs are closely related to each other.

Gao Xuanchen found the tombstone engraved with the words "Shen Jinfei", and saw that the ground in front of the monument was wet, and the fragrance in the air was very familiar, they had just smelled it.

——Not long ago, someone came to the grave and spilled a bowl of hot tea.

Jingting Green Snow.
