strange village

It's mine...well, it's my senior brother, named Zhu Yao. "

What this person said so calmly made Dongyue feel ashamed, and a feeling of guilty conscience surged in her heart.It can't be said that because you look like my ex-girlfriend, I followed you here.

"I'm Dongyue, and I live near here. It's a long story, but it's an accident. I didn't mean to follow you."

"Is that so, really?" The man didn't believe it at all, and he might have discovered that he was following him a long time ago.

An awkward silence followed.

Dongyue suddenly thought that he did have his own purpose for following this person, and what's the matter with this person's name?Is it a relative of some kind.

"You don't happen to have a sister or something?"

"Don't be so old-fashioned, you want to say where you met me?" The man chuckled.

"No, listen to my explanation. I don't want to strike up a conversation, but you and my ex-girlfriend really look alike."

This is really getting darker.

"You're right, so what do you want to do if you're not trying to strike up a conversation?" Huai Xiu looked at him with a hint of joking.

"I really don't have any bad intentions, really, I..." Dongyue started to panic, stuttering but couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Those who come are guests. Since everyone is here, let's stay and have a meal before leaving."

"Eh?" Dongyue didn't expect to be invited at all, and she was a little happy in the panic, she was flattered, her expression was silly and anxious, and her sleeves were amused.

"You're actually an idiot, aren't you? The one with a bad brain? I kind of trust you when you're like this." Huaixiu laughed heartily.

Huai Xiu and Zhu Yao walked out one after the other, Huai Xiu saw that he was still standing still, so he simply reached out and grabbed his wrist, dragging Dongyue out of the pavilion.

The man who followed beside him was called Zhu Yaolai, who remained silent the whole time without saying a word.

"Our family eats beef today." Huaixiu seemed very happy, and said while pulling him along.

Walking along a small road for a while, a big house appeared in front of them. This building really didn’t look like a product of the era of cash. It was a bit like an ancient house, and it was a combination of Chinese and Western. It looked like a foreign-style mansion from a distance. Looking at the eaves up close In the corner, there are many Han and Tang styles. Entering through the gate, you find that the interior is unique, and the modern facilities are also complete.

As soon as he walked to the hall, there was a strong smell of meat coming from somewhere in the house.

"Vegetable goulash with thick sauce, Hungarian taste. Do you like it?" The question was strange. The host didn't ask the guest if he liked it or not. Instead, he seemed to have directly confirmed that he liked it. He had to like it. Before Dongyue could answer him , Huaixiu said again: "Our method can make it thicker and more flavorful. The secret is the cumin seeds and red pepper powder produced by ourselves. It must be different from the ones you have eaten."

Then he was led to the restaurant in the depths, and after a while, a series of hot and delicious meals were brought out.Mushroom soup, Hungarian ragout with basmati rice, schnauzer with potatoes and pickles, crispy roasted duck breast, butter and garlic toast.For a stomach that has not tasted fresh dishes for a long time, this is a completely unexpected richness.

The three of them were not very polite, and naturally began to sit around a table to eat. The mushroom soup was delicious, the duck breast was crispy, the roast sausage and potatoes were also quite tasty, and the Hungarian beef stew was even more fragrant and mellow. Freshly baked toast, this meal made people feel a warm feeling in his chest. He couldn't help but think, even if this person is not in love, he is very suitable to marry home.

Moreover, he didn't feel that there was any problem with his realistic thinking at all, until a girl came out from the room where the food was brought out just now, and asked them if they wanted tea, he finally came to his senses, how could he make these big dishes Yes, there must be helpers and cooks in the house, right?

There wasn't much talk during the dinner, and after a while, all three of them were almost done eating.

"Is it delicious?" Huaixiu saw that he liked it and seemed very satisfied.

"Well, the ingredients seem to be very fresh." Dongyue nodded in affirmation.

"Okay, know how to do it. This is what we planted ourselves later."

Then he took Dongyue's wrist and took him to the depths of the house. There was a door at the end of that direction. Once the door was opened, there was a glass greenhouse connected to it. A passage separated the left and right sides. She pulled him into another room.The entire greenhouse is full of various vegetables and herbs, including potatoes, radishes, onions, asparagus, and butter lettuce. There are tomato racks next to them, and whole plants of unpicked tomatoes are rooted in the fertile soil. , some mud was stained on the leaves, and the immature green color was still glowing on the fruit.

"It's so fragrant." It's the smell of green tomatoes.

"I understand now, look over there."

Dongyue looked in the direction of his finger, there was an independent house at the end of the glass room, which was connected to this side, the door was not closed, and piles of tree trunks were neatly arranged in a row inside, which was not too obvious when you looked carefully. Yes, the trunk is supposed to be not so regular.

"This is the mushroom bed." Huai Xiu said with a smile.

"Mushrooms?"

"That's right, that's right, this is a fungal bed for growing mushrooms." He seemed quite proud of this masterpiece, although Dongyue didn't think he planted these things himself.

After what he said, there is indeed a smell of mushrooms in the air. Speaking of which, the reason why he is sensitive to this smell is because Dongyue used to dislike mushrooms very much, but then he gradually became able to eat them. Speaking of He couldn't remember the reason for the change in taste.

Clusters of mushrooms drill out from the gaps in the fungus bed, and grow from a small mycelium to umbrella-like organisms. Why do humans like to eat this kind of thing? It’s not on top of rot Alien creatures growing, and this peculiar smell, mildewy and damp, but people call this smell fresh, it's really hard to understand.

"Then what will we eat?"

"Well, they are all produced here, and wine can also be made."

According to the meal just now, there are not only such vegetable greenhouses, but also places for raising livestock and fish ponds.

"So who are you guys? Farmers growing mushrooms in the mountains?"

Hearing the frivolous laugh, Huai Xiu brushed his hair, raised his voice and said, "Have you ever seen such a handsome farmer like me?"

hansome?Dongyue scratched her head in embarrassment, a little embarrassed to point it out.

This person really didn't mean anything, although he was more and more sure of this in his heart, but this face really looked alike.It's hard to imagine that these two people have nothing to do with each other, but Huai Yi is an only child, and he has confirmed this to himself.

"Come with me." Huai Xiu dropped the words and walked straight in one direction.

Dongyue followed him up a small soil slope, and climbed a dozen more steps, and found a unique pavilion on the soil slope, surrounded by ten white marble columns, which felt cold and smooth to the touch.

The view from this location is very good, you can see far, and the vegetation in the mountains is dense, but you can see some houses not far away, hidden in the forest.

The sky is very clear now, there is already a glow in the sky, and the sky blue gradually changes from orange red to soft pink purple.

Already this time?

This encounter was so short, Dongyue once felt that he would never be happy from the bottom of his heart again, rarely contacted outsiders, and no longer had any expectations, but now he found that this was not the case, as long as that moment of kindness, it will call Returned his nostalgia and longing for warm emotions.

But now maybe he has to go anyway, it's over again isn't it?He smiled helplessly, thinking about the words of farewell.

He couldn't even fool himself into thinking that maybe one day they would meet again.

Life is like this, gain and lose again, the cycle repeats.

Standing on a high place with sleeves in his arms, his hair was blown by a gust of wind, like "My brother and I have a common teacher. For some reason, we followed his old man here to hide from the world. I was born in this village, and we occasionally It’s the rule to go outside, but you can’t stay overnight, but most people don’t want to go out at all.” This is not difficult to understand, and he pressed a strand of blown hair with his sleeves, and then said: “If you want to stay here , you can do whatever you want here without worrying about anything, do you want to consider staying?"

After hearing this, Dongyue's eyes lit up instantly, and he heard his heart beating firmly.

Perhaps driven by yearning, he nodded without hesitation.

Huai Xiu continued: "But there is one place you can't go to," he pointed to a white building in the distance. "It's a forbidden area, absolutely, absolutely not allowed to enter."

His side face was dyed a layer of golden pink by the sky, but those cold star-like eyes were unfathomable. Dongyue seemed to understand, but she was already dizzy with ecstasy, so she didn't ask any more questions, and nodded obediently. .

The author has something to say: The main CP has appeared!

☆、Catch the moon in the water

Seeing that he readily agreed, Huai Xiu seemed very happy, and then smiled, Dongyue was dazzled by that smile.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and they walked back to their residence along the way they came. Due to the vegetation, the forest path was dimly lit. The feeling of the intersection of the world and the ghost world.But Dongyue was still very happy.

But how did time pass so fast?Because Dongyue came out without a watch and communication equipment, she couldn't know the time accurately.

Back in the big house, the temperature inside the room was slightly lower than outside, and the moment he entered the room, he felt very cool. The floor was covered with thick and soft carpets. He was pulled onto the large sofa, and his whole body sank into the fluffy pillows. In the middle of the night, Huaxiu brought him another cup of fragrant drink, like coffee and wine mixed with other spices.

Huaixiu said: "I have a special tune, don't be too envious of my talent, drink it quickly."

Dongyue took the cup with a smile.

After a cup of hot drink, Huaixiu ran to the corridor at some point, beckoning him to follow, and Dongyue followed him to a strange room.

After opening the door, I found that the room was extremely dark, and there was a huge screen opposite, which was playing a black and white movie.

The picture is very in line with the current indoor atmosphere. On the gray wall, the crooked figure of the vampire Kankan climbing up the stairs is reflected, with a pair of withered hands stretched forward, like sharp claws.

Dongyue knows that this movie is Nosferatu, an ancient vampire movie, or a silent movie, without a single line of dialogue, so there are large texts appearing in it instead of dialogue, which are used to transition and explain the plot.

He sat on a double sofa next to his sleeves, and two armchairs with high backs were placed on the left and right sides of them. Then, Dongyue gradually immersed himself in the movie, and passed a quiet period unknowingly. Movie time.

At the end of the film, he spoke with his sleeves in his arms, but there was no response. He seemed to have fallen asleep on the sofa.The ancient silent films with this kind of soundtrack are really not suitable for him.

At this moment, a human head popped out of the armchair beside him, which frightened Dongyue a lot.

Take a closer look, isn't this the senior brother with sleeves?

The man was still in shock, but the man spoke. It was a very low but pleasant voice, which made people feel itchy: "Books or movies, which one do you like?"

Dongyue was at a loss for the sudden question, but she still answered: "Maybe it's a movie, it looks easy, and you can watch a complete story in about two hours."

"Just watch it?" He paused for a while, and then continued: "A movie can be said to be the limit of imagination. The scenery, lines, actors, music, and the complete atmosphere are all presented in front of you. Different interpretations, but compared with reading books, the space for imagination is far different."

What he said, Dongyue can also understand. In the process of reading, people will involuntarily imagine in their minds based on the text, what each character looks like, what kind of clothes they wear, what kind of place they are doing Things, what kind of voice to use, what words to say, which part of the plot is unfolded for what reason.No matter what kind of fantasy world, how absurd and bizarre scene, it can be realized in the fantasy of the brain.But movies are different. Although there are many techniques for leaving blank space, the room for imagination is relatively limited. The advantage is that you don't have to use your brain, and you can just enjoy it.

Dongyue hadn't looked at Zhu Yao's appearance carefully before, and she had the impression that he was a tall man. In the dark, she could only see a black shadow, and she couldn't see the man's appearance clearly.

At this time, the light was suddenly turned on, and Huai Xiu had woken up at some point, and pressed the remote control to turn on the light.

The man who spoke to Dongyue just now was Zhu Yao.

This is the first time Dongyue has observed his appearance carefully. His skin is pale, his angular face is unusually handsome, his nose bridge is straight, and his eye sockets are slightly sunken, which makes people feel a sense of melancholy and alienation.

He turned around, poured himself a glass of wine on the wine table at the side, and then drank the amber liquid in one gulp. Dongyue followed her gaze and found that the wine bottle at the side had been completely emptied up.

"Hey, are you drinking too fast?" Huai Xiu frowned slightly, trying to dissuade him.

Zhu Yao didn't speak any more, with a troubled expression on his face, he put down the crystal cup in his hand, turned around and walked out of the room.

Huai Xiu shook his head and sighed: "Oh, this man is really difficult to please," then turned to Dongyue and said, "Come on, it's late, I'll take you to your room."

"My room?" Dongyue was stunned before he agreed to consider staying. Is the room ready?

"Whether you want to stay for a long time, you don't have to answer me in a hurry, you can stay for a while before talking. You have to sleep at night, right?"

After a pause, he said again: "Or, do you actually want to sleep in the same room with me? Together?"

Dongyue's face turned red from ears to the base of her neck.

Huaixiu approached him with a chuckle, and said, "You're kidding."

Then he patted him on the shoulder and led him up the stairs, then turned to the left and stopped in front of a door.

"You can live in this room. If you need anything, just tell me. My room is the first room on the right hand side of the stairs. If you can't sleep, just come to me. I don't mind." Winking, turned and left.

Pushing open the wooden door in front of him, he walked into the room, which belonged to him for the time being. The room was spacious and clean. The set of wooden furniture seemed to be old. Pure white sheets and curtains, with a bathroom, ordinary But it feels comfortable.He immediately went into the bathroom to take a shower, lathered his body with soap, and let the warm water flow on his neck and shoulders, all his limbs and pores were relaxed.

He dried off his body, got into bed, wondered if he was too tired, and soon fell asleep.

He dreamed that he and Huai Yi were fighting zombies in the forest. The battle was very fierce, and he seemed to be victorious in the end. He was so happy in the dream that he didn't even notice that there was an undetectable soft sound in the room.

Early the next morning, Dongyue opened her sleepy eyes, but felt that there was someone beside her. Before she could see clearly, she was hit on the face by a huge soft object.He scratched around with his hands, rubbed his eyes, and found that what hit his face was a pillow, and the bed was in chaos. The pillow was probably kicked to the ground by him in his dream. He picked up the pillow and suddenly called out. a fond name

Of course it can't be nostalgia, but sleeves.

"It's my brother, what are you daydreaming about, I'm getting up soon." He nagged, walked to the bed, opened the curtains, and a large piece of warm sunlight leaked out from behind the thick fabric.

If you ignore the fact that you were woken up by being hit by a man, it would be a pretty good morning.

Under Huaixiu's urging, he washed his face and brushed his teeth, and followed him to the restaurant downstairs. After the two sat down, the girl from yesterday served breakfast.

For this meal, there are yellow fish noodles with pickled vegetables, boiled pumpkin, spinach mixed with sesame seeds, ham wrapped in cabbage, and some pickled side dishes made of mushrooms and seasonal vegetables.The yellow croaker noodle soup served in a large bowl is white and thick. The fried yellow croaker meat is sweet, white and tender, and the fiber is full and silky. The soft and smooth noodles covered with soup, full of delicious flavor.

After a meal, I only felt light and delicious, and felt comfortable from the bottom of my heart. Dongyue really had a thought of not wanting to leave.After the meal, another girl brought coffee with a strong aroma, and he remembered that he hadn't seen Zhu Yao this morning, so he thought to himself, don't drink too much last night and couldn't wake up.

"Why didn't your elder brother come down to eat?" Dongyue asked.

"Oh, you said him, he went out this morning for something, that guy doesn't care if he doesn't eat." Huai Xiu said with gritted teeth, it seems that there is still some unknown secret between the two.

"Is he in a bad mood yesterday? Didn't he drink a whole glass of spirits all at once?"

"You said that, don't worry about him, he won't get drunk with that amount of alcohol." Huaixiu waved his hand to express that he didn't want to mention him again.

"That's good." Dongyue didn't intend to continue this topic, but she was a little surprised by Zhu Yao's situation.

"This coffee is not bad, but I have to buy it outside. I managed to get it." He said with a sip of coffee, pinching the porcelain cup with his sleeves in his arms.

Dongyue understands what he means, why do you say that, because although technology is more developed today, due to climate change, some coffee trees gradually do not have a suitable environment to grow, and are close to extinction. Varieties like Arabica are completely gone. arrive.Some businessmen still preserve some species through expensive technology, but the variety is limited and expensive, so good coffee is very rare today.

Then he heard Huai Xiu excitedly say: "Where should we go today? Go boating and fishing? Or go somewhere else?" The mouth kept chanting.

"What other place?" What the hell is this man thinking about?

"Well, there is a very beautiful place. Senior Brother said you would be interested."

"Zhu Yao?"

Since yesterday, that person has been very indifferent to himself. It is really hard to imagine that he will explore his preferences and suggest him places to play.

"Yeah, what's the trouble, if that's the case, let's all go there!"

It's really a pat on the head, Dongyue smiled helplessly, "Then do you still have fish for lunch today?" Dongyue stared at the leftovers on the table.

"No, why do you ask that?"

"Then why go fishing?" Dongyue was puzzled.

"Of course it's because I want to go fishing." As he spoke, he rummaged through the box with his sleeves and prepared some fishing tools and loaded them into the car.

Dongyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment, the two senior brothers were really brainless and unhappy.

The two drove for a certain distance, came to a river, stepped on a docked wooden boat deftly, then stretched out their hands and raised their chins to Dongyue, signaling him to get on the boat.Dongyue hesitated, but she still reached out and grabbed him and boarded the boat.

The water here is a clear blue-green, like absinthe.

"Have you rowed a boat before?" Huai Xiu asked.

"No, this is the first time." Dongyue was a little apprehensive, he was a landlubber, and he didn't dare to play this before.

"Oh? That's right. It is said that this kind of entertainment is no longer popular outside."

It's not a rowing competition. How can this thing be entertaining?It's okay to be with someone you can chat with, but if you have nothing to say, isn't it boring?

"It's not because of this, I'm not very good at water, I can't swim." I said I'm not good at it, but Dongyue is actually a little afraid of water. Of course, it's okay to take a bath, but he has choked in deep water. The memory of water, so try not to get close to the water.

This is probably the case for giving up food because of choking.

"Then this is your first time." Huaixiu said with a big smile, and the boat began to drive slowly downstream along the river.

"Well, if you hadn't invited me, I probably would never have boarded the boat." Dongyue replied while trying to find a safe seat on the boat.

"Humans always like to repeat their favorite activities, but in fact, the most unique and memorable experiences cannot be replicated at all. You can try it next time. Trying to replicate past memories can only produce loss and frustration. This It’s called diminishing returns, have you noticed? So I never do it, just keep it as it is in my memory forever. That is to say, next time you come to row a boat, you will definitely not feel the way you do now.”

"Does that mean that you only try once if you are interested in something?"

"It's okay, you can't understand this kind of thinking, right? People who have just tasted it are not lacking in stamina or lack of patience, but are worried that if they go deeper, they will lose the fun at the beginning. Don't you think so?"

That is to say, if you have expectations, you will be disappointed.

"Is it necessary to refuse more attempts in order to retain the special feeling of the first experience? It's interesting to say, but most people can't do it. People know how to taste, and they will be driven by desire to try again. People who give up Mostly because of some shadows, or lack of confidence, no matter whether I like it or not, I can't believe that the next time I feel better, so I simply gave up, but isn't it a pity?

After hearing what he said, Huai Xiu smiled and said, "It is precisely because of this that these experiences are cherished even more, and people nowadays don't know how to cherish them, so you should actually try."

Dongyue thought about it, and felt that she didn't need this at all, and said in a tone that he didn't know how to cherish it, it would be better to say that he was too obsessed with the past and cherished too much, making it difficult to move forward.

The boat gradually moved away from the shore and slid towards the distance. The speed of the boat was very slow, but the sound of the flowing water could still be heard.

He leaned against the ship's side with his sleeves, not worried that there might be dust on the hull to stain his white clothes.

"Li Bai, do you know?" Huai Xiu smiled secretly.

"Why don't you know." Who wouldn't know about the great poets of the Tang Dynasty? Although not many people like them now, they have indeed heard of them.

"Have you heard how Li Bai died?" Huaixiu tapped the hull of the boat with his fingers.

"I don't know" Dongyue didn't understand this aspect.

"It is said that the cause of his death was that after drinking, he went to play in the water to catch the moon, but fell into the river and drowned himself."

Dongyue had never heard of this statement before, and there was some surprise on her face.

"Some people say that he died of illness, and others say that he died of alcohol poisoning, because he is so famous for his love of wine, but there is actually a saying that Li Bai liked to go to the river in his later years to play in gorgeous clothes. Drinking wine and admiring the moon is very pleasant. One day, he happened to find that the reflection of the full moon in the water was particularly bright and charming, and he was fascinated by it for a while. When he saw the moon again, he fell into the water accidentally. He died after struggling in the water for a while, the water surface became calm again, and the moon reappeared in the middle of the water, as if nothing had happened The same, and Li Bai lost his life like this, do you think it is absurd?"

His description is not so absurd, but a little weird, as if the moon has some magical power to seduce people.

"In fact, being able to die in pursuit of the things you love may be quite romantic for a poet." Dongyue replied.

After hearing this, Huaixiu let out a chuckle, and approached Dongyue imperceptibly, until Dongyue's side face had already felt his gentle breathing, and felt a little too close, so she retreated a little calmly.

Putting his sleeves on the side of the boat, he touched his shoulders with his fingers, and continued: "I think this is really stupid."

"The shadow of the moon is not real at all. What's the point of fishing for the shadow of the moon? As long as the moon is still there, why not see the shadow of the moon? But he didn't look up at the real body at all."

Dongyue didn't expect Huaixiu to think this way, and replied: "Maybe it's because the moon in the sky is too high to be reached by human heights, but what you said makes sense, full moons often occur, but Li Bai doesn't often." Yes. It would be a pity if things really turned out to be like legends."

"When you become a fairy after death, you can stand shoulder to shoulder with the moon." Huai Xiu said with a smile.

But Dongyue said seriously: "It is this kind of death that has beauty, and it is especially unforgettable because of regrets."

"You are not shy." Huaixiu's voice was clear.

"What is taboo? Death, or regret?" The topic seems to be developing in a strange direction.

"Everyone has regrets in their lives, taboos are just escaping from reality, but death, isn't it very taboo for the place where you live?"

"It's not just a taboo, it may be a kind of awe, because there are still too many unsolved mysteries about death. If you explore too deeply, you may have some uncontrollable consequences."

"Really?" Huaixiu unconsciously moved closer.

Dongyue stood up. At this time, the boat had already reached the middle of the river. He was leaning on the side of the boat, watching the fish swimming under the green water, but is this place too quiet?Not even birdsong.

"Speaking of death, people still feel fear, and no matter what method is used to prolong life, death is inevitable after all. This is a natural rule, and everything has its end. Compared with this, living What is more important is what is the future for the dead.”

As soon as the words fell, Dongyue suddenly felt a force on his back pushing him out of the boat. He turned his head suddenly, who else could there be except Huaixiu. At this moment, Huaixiu's expression was completely different from usual, as if with a hint of anger.

"What are you doing, let me go!" Dongyue was shocked, struggling to keep her balance.

Just when he thought he was about to die here, the oppressive force on his back disappeared, and then a gentle force wrapped around his waist and brought him back into the boat.

Then a burst of arrogant laughter burst out of the mouth of the instigator.

Dongyue felt inexplicable, even a little angry.

"Are you kidding, did it scare you?" Huai Xiu's anger just now was fleeting, and now he has returned to his usual cynical face.

Dongyue was so frightened that she finally breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was still beating violently, and she said with a little emotion: "You can't do this when you are joking, really." Then she stared at Huaixiu complainingly.This person is really weird!

The man looked as if nothing had happened, took out the fishing tackle from the cabin and started fishing. Dongyue had a long memory this time, distanced himself from him, sat far away, and found a place far away from the side of the boat to stare at him. Every move he made was afraid of being teased by the other party.

Gradually the sky became darker, Huaixiu finally closed the pole, and harvested a lot.

Although he was out to fish, he almost did it for the fish. When he thought of Dongyue, he felt lingering fear. After all, he really didn't know how to swim.

The boat quickly sailed back to the shore, Huaixiu put the bucket full of fish into the trunk of the car, but instead of heading back, he drove deeper into the mountains.

The author has something to say:

☆、Library

Dongyue felt that now was not the time to pursue, and not knowing where he was going to be taken made him even more uneasy, so she couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

Without answering, Dongyue drove the car quietly. Dongyue felt that he had become very strange today, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The mountain road is difficult, and there are many twists and turns. At the beginning, Dongyue had the idea of ​​remembering the road seriously, but then she simply gave up, but it doesn't matter, because there is almost only one main road on the mountain.After driving for an unknown amount of time, Huai Xiu parked the car on the side of the road, took the fish bucket from the trunk, and got out of the car.

There are dense forests around here, Dongyue followed him closely, although he followed closely, but he didn't dare to get too close now, but this place is really remote, besides following this thoughtless and unreliable person, he also There is no other way.

The two walked in tandem for a while, the strength of their sleeves and feet was astonishing. In order to keep up with him, Dongyue was panting after him. The two walked around a dense pine forest, and suddenly saw a wide grass field. , not far away stands a small dark red Western-style building.In this mountain densely covered with pine forests, it is actually very harmonious, without any sense of abruptness.

Walking to the door of the small building, Dongyue calmed down her breathing. The door seemed to have a recognition device and opened automatically.Dongyue followed Huaixiu into a living room. This room is surrounded by wood-clad walls, complete sets of antique furniture, and decorated with crystal and porcelain ornaments. In this era, the cost of maintenance alone is not cheap , there are already people waiting in the lobby.

"You're here." A soft female voice came from inside the room.

It was a dignified and well-dressed middle-aged woman, sitting in an armchair without getting up, looking at her sleeves gently.

"Long time no see, Aunt Lan." Then he picked up the bucket of fish and tapped the bucket with his fingers. The fish inside reacted immediately, writhing restlessly and making water sounds.

The woman smiled and said, "Going to catch fish again? The harvest is good, let's use it for dinner."

After finishing speaking, a young girl came to pick up the fish bucket.

I dare not eat fish at noon, but I have to eat it at night, so why didn't I say it earlier, Dongyue was relieved, it was strange to have sleeves for a long time, and the words he said were difficult to understand. He tried to ease the atmosphere, but people ignored him He, right now, Aunt Lan seems to be easy to get along with.

"Why are you free to come over today, and there are guests?" The woman's eyes fell on Dongyue.

Huaixiu smiled as usual and said, "Well, he just came here, I'll bring him here to have a look."

Dongyue then introduced herself, and then called the woman Aunt Lan with her sleeves, but of course she skipped the discussion of why she came here.

"It looks like it's going to rain in a while, why don't you stay here tonight, it's too dangerous to walk on the mountain road in rainy days."

"Okay." Huai Xiu casually replied, as if he had intended it long ago.

Dongyue was a little uncomfortable, because it was not his way to cause trouble for people he just met.

"I'm sorry for not saying hello in advance, to bother you." Dongyue clasped her fingers and said.

"You're welcome, just like your own home. You guys are tired, play casually for a while and go to bed early." Aunt Lan said softly.

Huaixiu nodded towards Aunt Lan, then walked out of the hall holding Dongyue's wrist.

The walls of this house are very thick, the ceiling is high, and there are gorgeous and complicated crystal chandeliers hanging, and the refracted colorful flashes render everything in this house a wonderful sense of unreality.

He pulled him into a room with his sleeves in his arms. It was an extremely spacious room. Except for two windows, the surrounding walls were all wooden bookshelves reaching the ceiling. There were several sofas and a writing desk in the middle of the room. .
