Monument of Life and Death

Chapter 24: Lianshui Village

  Chapter 24 Lotus Village

  It’s so quiet on the mountain.

  At the beginning, everyone was talking and laughing, as if they were really coming for a vacation. As they walked, surrounded by the green eyes, everyone gradually became silent.

  The conversation disappeared, replaced by exhausted breathing. The mountain is just a low hill from a distance. Only when you really turn it up, you can find that climbing is not that simple.

  The surrounding area is very quiet. Only the rustle of the wind blowing through the bushes can be heard in the ears, the flowing water in the distance is pattering, and occasionally one or two birds pass through the canopy, like flying shadows, disappearing in an instant.

   Xiaolan doesn't feel tired, but frowns.

  A familiar and strong feeling wrapped her tightly.

  Although she was walking freely, every step she took seemed to be closer to something. This inexplicable sense of traction occupied her whole body at this time. Xiaolan felt very excited, but a little afraid.

   "It's okay..." The Taoist leader walked behind Xiaolan, and when she saw her condition was wrong, he hurriedly asked, "If we feel tired, we will take a rest..."

   "I'm fine," Xiaolan turned around and smiled, "I'm not too tired, Taoist."

  Turning his head back, Xiaolan raised his eyes and looked towards the top of the hillside.

  The dark green canopy crosses the top of the head. It is now just after ten o’clock in the morning, and the sun is neither strong nor dazzling.

  Unexplainable feeling...

   Xiaolan tilted his head, staring at the green at the end of the hillside.

   Suddenly slipped her feet, Xiaolan's center of gravity was unstable, and she lay directly on the ground without saying a word, not knowing what was going on.

  "Xiaolan!" Xiaoyin's voice came from behind.

   Dao Master reacted quickly, and hurriedly helped Xiaolan, who was still confused, Xiaoyin and Pineapple rushed over and slapped the dirt on her body.

   "You kid, if you can't help it for a while, something will happen."

   "It's not broken, it hurts or not."

   Xiaolan shook his head, let them be at their mercy, trying to find the answer that suddenly appeared in the moment of falling down.

   looked up and looked at the canopy on the top of the mountain again.

   Xiaolan's eyes widened.

  This scene, this green...

  This is the place where I appeared in the dream when I saw the boundary monument!

   Xiaolan shook off the two of them and ran to the top of the mountain desperately.

   Over the top of the mountain, over the top of the mountain, you can see the boundary monument, the boundary monument in the dream...

   "Xiaolan!"

   Xiaolan could hear the chasing sound hurriedly behind, instead of stopping, she ran faster and faster.

  Run. run. run.

   was finally coming, and they couldn't hear their voices here, and Xiaolan didn't know how far he had ran.

   Stand still, now you only need to walk a few steps, and you can see the boundary monument guarding the mountains in the distance.

   Xiaolan panted heavily, pulled himself by that force, and climbed step by step over the last obstacle.

Appeared.

   Xiaolan was cold all over, and sweat enveloped her instantly like ice cubes.

  What appeared in front of him was not the boundary monument in the dream, but a huge village standing halfway up the mountain.

   "Xiaolan! What's the matter with you..."

   "Where is the strength of your little girl?..."

  As if suddenly returning to reality, Xiaolan suddenly became sober, looking back at the tired little tone, and the muttering little fool, pointing to the distance in the Taoist chief’s worried gaze.

   "I found Lianshui Village!"

"You bear kid!" Pineapple dragged the sluggish maple syrup, and finally rushed to them. Pineapple was worried about Xiaolan and wanted to hold on to the maple syrup. He suffered two crimes and was full of anger. "You Then I'll knock you down!"

   Xiaolan grinned thick-skinned teeth and hid the secret in her heart.

  "Add me!" Before Xiao Yin was breathing, he raised his fist at Xiaolan, "I can't clean up the child when he is old. I think I will beat you up someday sooner or later."

"It's good to be young, Xiaolan is not tired from running so far in one breath," the little idiot clutched his stomach and gasped, and looked back at Baomu, who was panting harder behind him, "Baomu, you are better than Xiaolan." How old is it to be as vain as we are."

   Baomu waved his hand, unable to speak.

  Dao Master had returned to normal, walked to Xiaolan's side and stared at her.

   "I saw something just now, and suddenly I ran."

   "Huh?" Xiaolan pretended to be innocent, "I feel that I will see Lianshui Village soon, so I ran away."

  Dao's long eyebrows were drawn, obviously not believing her words very much.

   "Is it Lianshui Village?"

   "Are there any other villages?"

  The Daoist was silent for a few seconds, lowered his voice, and asked every word: "Didn't you see something else?"

   Xiaolan gave a chuckle in her heart, shook her head with a guilty conscience like a child exposed by a lie.

  How does he know...

  The two stared at each other for a long time, neither of them could understand the complex emotions in the other's heart, nor were they ready to open their mouths again.

  For a long time, the Taoist commander turned to all of you who were like soldiers.

  "Everyone, rest here for a while, let’s eat something, we are about to enter the village when we get off this hillside."

  ————————————————————

  The village is too big, just like a small town growing up a mountainside.

  When everyone was about to arrive at the village, it was already more than three in the afternoon. The night on the mountain came earlier, and the sky at this time was already a little dim.

  Lianshui Village is a mountain village, but the village is full of two-story small buildings with white walls and black tiles. Houses are lined up on the mountainside. From a distance, it looks a little beautiful.

   "There seems to be no one on the street."

  A few people walked through the last piece of woods and embarked on the small road leading to the village. The road is still spacious and flat. The little fool walked in the front and looked around and said.

   "The entrance to the village is too few people," Xiaoyin drank, "Lianshui Village is so big, we must go inside, there must be someone."

It’s said that every town has a unique aura, and the same goes for Lianshui Village. Since a few people walked on this path, the brisk feeling of climbing over the mountain has disappeared. The air in Lianshui Village seems to have weight, which is a little overwhelming. asphyxia.

   Xiaolan obediently walked behind Xiaoyin and Daochang, Xiaoyin looked back from time to time to confirm if she had sneaked away.

I finally walked to the first house, which was also a two-story building. The door was closed. The fruit trees in the yard showed a few branches. Several people stood at the door, wondering whether they should knock on the door and ask about the situation. .

   "Are there anyone living here?"

  The little fool relied on his height and slipped to the edge of the courtyard wall and stood on tiptoe to peer into the courtyard. Unfortunately, the courtyard wall was so high that the little fool could only reach the top of the wall when he jumped up.

  "Why don't you just knock on the door." Baomu pointed to the big iron door.

   Xiaoyin grabbed Baomu’s finger, “If it’s not directly exposed, we still have to understand the situation first.”

   "We are like this," the Taoist leader took a step forward, then backed back, and pushed Xiaolan to the front, "Let the idiot lift a person up to see the situation in the yard, what happens, I will lift it..."

   "Just lift me up," the maple syrup on one side volunteered, and also promoted himself by the way, "I have strong observation skills and I am very good at short-term evidence searching."

  Everyone was choked for a while so they didn’t know what to say.

   "Pineapple, you care about your boyfriend," the little fool looked at the maple sugar approaching, and took a half step back unconsciously, "I'm patronizing and satisfying my reasoning desire, regardless of whether I live or die."

"Aren't you strong?" The maple syrup was pulled back by the pineapple, and he thought about it seriously. "The last time we overcame the wall, you lifted the road leader very easily. I don’t have the road to grow taller. He is light."

   "I don't care!" The little idiot stood in place and sputtered, "Why should I lift you a big man? I want to lift Xiaolan! I want to lift the little girl!"

  After some tearing, the final result was that Xiaolan was riding a fool's neck, climbing the wall and looking into the courtyard little by little, while the maple syrup was caught by the pineapple for ideological education.

   Xiaolan held his breath and tried to climb up, and the scene of the courtyard gradually appeared in front of him.
