Chapter 26 Peach Blossom Spring

The exit of this long and narrow walkway opens on the mountainside of a tall stone wall, about three meters above the ground. The surface of the stone wall is rough and uneven, with scratches and mud everywhere.

Standing on the narrow platform in front of the exit, you can overlook the entire Taohuayuan.

Starting from the tall stone wall at his feet, a peach tree was planted on the left and right sides, and the neatly arranged peach trees extended to the distance, enclosing the entire peach blossom garden, forming a closed circle.

Then every two tall peach trees can faintly see a unique ancient building.

There are about a hundred of these houses and buildings, and they are from various dynasties.There are buildings from Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there are also some unusual architectural styles of Northern Qi Dynasty and Later Tang Dynasty.

These houses form a circle on this circular piece of land. The circle is fertile black soil, which is neatly divided into small blocks one after another by horizontal, latitude and vertical lines. Each line is about one to two centimeters. .

It looks orderly, safe and peaceful.

But what is puzzling is that no one was seen either next to the house or in the fields.

Not only is there no human habitation, but there is not even the so-called acquaintance in the original text.

It was so quiet that only Jane's own breathing could be heard.

Jane quietly climbed down from the three-meter-high stone wall. As soon as his feet landed, he smelled a burst of extremely rich peach blossom fragrance.

The scene in front of him changed instantly. How could there be any houses in a circle?What appeared in front of his eyes was clearly a winding dirt path, with many men and women farming in the fields beside it, and children and old people basking in the sun can be seen running around on the slightly higher field ridges in the distance.

He even heard the sound of a rooster crowing, but the sound was a little far away, and it sounded ethereal and unreal.

The sun hanging high above his head made Jane feel a little chilly, he took a few steps forward, and these people seemed to have not seen him, working as they should, and laughing as they should.

Jane quietly took a few more steps forward, and when he reached the ninth step, it seemed that he had passed through a barrier.

"Whose family are you a child?" An old man with white beard and hair called out to Jian Qiao. In an instant, everything seemed to press the stop button, and everyone looked straight at him. It was clearly the face of a living person. But the expressions on their faces were all the same.

"I come from the east."

"Where did you come from the east?" The white-haired old man continued to ask with a smile.

"Come from Jiankang in the east."

"He's from Jiankang..." The white-haired old man tapped the bamboo hat in his hand, "It's a good place."

"It's a good place, much better than the west side." Jane answered him quietly.

"What do you think is bad about the west side?"

"It's wet and cold, and I can't sleep well."

"Young students are right." The old man smiled and greeted a little girl on the edge of the field who looked at him curiously: "Little pig, take him to live in the east."

The little girl came to the front from the ridge behind the old man: "Follow me, don't get lost."

Obviously there is only the winding road in the middle, and the rest is farmland, but under the leadership of this little girl, the road turns around and the workers are no longer visible.

"Outsider, what's your name?" The little girl leading the way asked him suddenly, she didn't look back, but her tone was very serious, "I don't like people lying to me very much."

Jane quietly looked at her shadow on the ground, and said without changing expression, "My name is Jane, and my name is Jianguo."

"Say it again? The little girl suddenly turned around to face him. Her pupils accounted for more than half of her eyes, and she looked a little panicked. At this time, they had already walked into a forest, and the sun was covered by the sun." Blocked by lush trees, the whole forest looks a bit gloomy.

"I didn't lie to you. My name is taken from the sentence 'Chen Jufa is too small, Jianguo Zitianfu' in Yuan Lang's "He Xiyu Dengcheng Nanban Wangjingyi". My surname is Jian. Is it?" Jian Qiao replied confidently, without any guilt.

The little girl looked at him suspiciously, feeling that there seemed to be nothing wrong, but there seemed to be something wrong.

She stood there thinking for a while: "Are you a scholar?"

Before Jane could reply her quietly, she said: "Then you can give me a name too. If you get it well, I will take you to the house on the east side. If you get it badly, I will take you to the house on the west side."

When she said this, the little girl named Xiaozhu stared at him right and wrong. For a moment, Jian Qiao thought that two lines of blood and tears would flow from her eyes.

"The scenery turns Luwen, the sky is green with snowflakes." Jian Qiao said solemnly, "Why don't you call me Sprite!"

The little girl looked hesitant, obviously dissatisfied and wanted to turn her face, Jane quietly added: "It belongs to Shangguanyi of the Tang Dynasty."

"Sprite? Let's force it!" The little girl snorted coldly, barely counting him through, then turned around and continued to lead him the way.

Jane quietly looked at the small satchel on her arm, and breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to his good memory, he saw the style of this satchel on a pottery figurine of a Tang Dynasty maid in Luoyang Museum a few years ago, so Jian Qiao also used Tang dynasty poems to name her.

Out of intuition, Jian Qiao didn't want to reveal his real name, so he took the risk of using the Dafa method of deception. Fortunately, he passed the test.

The little girl named Xiaozhu, now renamed as Sprite, brought him to a dilapidated house.

It’s a bit of a stretch to say that it’s a house. This house is made of yellow mud. Weeds and stones can be seen mixed in the wall. Large and small cracks cover every intact part of the wall.The top of the wall is covered with rotten and moldy thatch. The varnish on the window frames and wooden doors has peeled off, revealing the original color of the wood. There are insect holes and mold spots everywhere on the door. If there is wind, you can still see the front and back of the door. Shaky sight.

"It's really cheap for you! Live in such a nice house!"

He reasonably suspected that this little girl was taking revenge on him, but the envy in her expression didn't seem like she was lying.

This is still a paradise, the per capita gdp is too bad!

Sprite brought him to this house, turned to another path by herself, and disappeared after a while.

Jane pushed open the door quietly. It was very dark inside, and a little light came in from the window obliquely.

He is now standing in the main hall of the house, where there is a table and a few stools.There is a room on the left and right sides, the door of the left room is tightly closed, only the door on the right is ajar, the inside is dark and extremely dim.

He heard breathing.

There are other people here besides himself.

Jane quietly pretended to check the situation, turned her back to the door on the right, took off a stool leg from the almost decayed stool and held it in her hand.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he opened the door on the right.

A pale face faced him.

Jian Qiao's hands were faster than her head, and she couldn't help swinging the stool legs.

There was a familiar scream in the air.

"What do you want me to say about you?" Jian quietly inspected the injury on Yi Tao's head. There was a big swelling on his head, and there were bruises on his face. His whole body was in pain with Jian's movements. Grinning his teeth, shaking his head and thinking, "Can people be scared casually? If I hadn't been a little bit restrained, you might be blind now!"

"Brother Jian, you are so ruthless! How do I know you are so ruthless?" Yi Tao sat obediently on a relatively intact stool at this time, "I didn't know you were coming, I heard someone's voice, I just hid, and when I found out it was you, I planned to make a joke with you, who knows——”

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah it hurts so much!"

He was really fed up with this bastard.

"There is no major problem, and there is no bleeding. The swelling will subside in two days." Jane asked him quietly, "Are you dizzy?"

"No dizziness, just a little pain."

"Isn't this nonsense!" Jian Qiao said angrily, "It should make your memory long."

"Didn't it mean that the difficulty of top students has doubled?" Yi Tao asked suspiciously, "Why did you randomly come to the same examination room as me?"

"Tell me first, how did you get in?"

"I just came in, how else can I come in?" Yi Tao looked confused, "I first appeared on a winding road, and then an old man directly asked a little boy to lead me to this dilapidated house Li, after a while, you came, and then you beat me up."

Yi Tao honestly explained the whole story.

"Where are Mingyue and Xiuyuan?"

"I didn't see it."

Jane pondered for a while quietly: "Did that little boy ask your name?"

"I asked, and then I told him a fake name, and he didn't continue to ask."

Jian Qiao now finally knows where the increased difficulty value of the so-called "excellent student authority" points to him.

"Did anyone else come here before I came?"

Yi Tao shook his head: "There are no living people, but there is probably one dead person."

"In the woods where you turn right when you go out, there is a large bloodstain under a tree. If it is a person's blood, judging by the amount of bleeding, you should not be able to survive."

"Go and see again?"

"Okay." Yi Tao walked out of the broken room, "Brother Jian, you have always been careful, go and have a look, maybe you can find more clues."

The two of them walked into the forest on the right, and Yi Tao stopped under the fifth tree. This tree was no different from the other trees in the forest. The leaves are all clean, nothing.

"It's gone." Yi Tao's face was serious, and he had no intention of joking at this time, "About two hours ago, the blood was here."

Jane squatted down quietly, and twirled the soil on the ground: "Dry."

He broke a branch from the tree next to him: "Give me the range."

Yi Tao also broke a branch from the side, and circled the approximate location he saw a few hours ago: "Dig?"

"Try it."

The two started digging, and when they dug about a palm deep, Jian Qiao suddenly asked, "Do you still remember where the blood stains are the most strange?"

"The most wrong thing..." Yi Tao thought for a while, and tapped the left rear of the exposed root of the tree with a branch, "There was once a puddle of blood here, and the color was the darkest."

Jian quietly walked over and began to dig. The place Yi Tao pointed to was not too big, but after digging down a centimeter, there was still nothing.

"It's me instead." Yi Tao took Jian Qiao's place and continued to dig down, about half the depth of his arm. The branch in his hand hit a hard object, and Yi Tao took it out.

It is an oval stone slab covered with dirt.

Jane quietly wiped it clean, revealing a line of scarlet words:

[Leave at three o'clock, return at five o'clock, the King of Hades treats guests, who dare not follow? 】

The author has something to say: Why is the name so named?
