Sword comes

The young man stepped on the shredded starlight all the way, and went out of the town to the creek. Although it was night, Chen Ping'an ran no slower than during the day.Chen Ping'an deliberately avoided the position of the covered bridge with the deepest water level, where the stream was much higher than other places. Chen Ping'an chose a stream whose water was barely above his knees. He took off the large bamboo basket behind him, bent over to take it He picked up a small bamboo basket hidden in it, hung it tightly around his waist, took off his straw sandals, rolled up his trousers, and then went into the water to touch the stones.

The wound on his left hand that was cut by the broken porcelain still hurts. Naturally, it cannot be soaked in water. The teenager can only use his right hand to dig through the creek to pick it up. In fact, the stones in the dry riverbed are the easiest to pick up, but as Liu Xianyang said, The color will fade badly. Now, Chen Pingan has a rough idea of ​​the mystery from the black-clothed girl. Soil, seemingly ordinary soil, in some places, even if it is separated by a mountain, when it reaches the mouth, it is a completely different taste.

The old man Yao said that this is called the tree moving the dead and the living, and the mud moving the nest to become a Buddha. The mud in his hand will soon change its taste as long as it leaves the original land.

The creek has no name. The stones in the creek are as big as a fist and as small as a thumb. They are colorful, but the people of the small town have been used to seeing them lying quietly in the clear water for generations. Naturally, no one thinks it is a rare thing. , Whoever moves these stones into the house will definitely be regarded as a fool.

Chen Ping'an, who was stooping and wading in the water, kept moving and turning over the large stones at the bottom of the stream. He had already picked up seven or eight stones and put them in the bamboo basket. The golden oranges are also white and delicate like a baby's skin, and there is a ball of darkness, and the black is shiny, and there are bright red peach blossoms, and the color of the shrimp back is the most, and so on.

Most of these stones, commonly known as snake gallstones in the village, are not large, and they are smooth and heavy to hold in the hand. If they are held high in the sun during the day, or illuminated by candlelight in the middle of the night, the texture and texture of the stones are fully visible and vaguely like silk. , like a tiny snake fish winding, look at it from a distance, and the skin color is like sparkling fish scales and snake scales.

About an hour later, the fish basket on Chen Ping's waist was almost full. He returned to the stream where the baskets of straw sandals were placed, and went to the shore to pull up a few large handfuls of reeds, wild celery and dog's tail grass, and put them on the bottom of the basket. Then I put the stones into the basket one by one, carried the straw sandals, tied the fish basket, carried the basket, and walked ashore. When I reached the bank of the stream where I turned back, I put down the straw sandal basket again, and went down the stream and continued to move. Stone.

After picking up half of the basket, Chen Pingan straightened his waist and looked up at the starry sky, hoping to see meteors streaking across the sky, but apparently he didn't have such good luck tonight.After Chen Ping'an recovered, he continued to do what a financial fan should do with the vague starlight and extraordinary eyesight.

Every time he successfully picked up a stone, Chen Ping'an felt a sense of joy.For the young man, every stone is like a hope.

Before he knew it, Chen Ping'an had accumulated more than half a basket of stones, a total of about eighty stones, the largest of which was bigger than his fist, and the color was extremely eye-catching, like chicken blood condensed into a ball, and the color was bright and upright, not at all. It gives an uncomfortable feeling that such a large stone has almost no flaws and cracks.At this time, Chen Ping'an was walking on the bank, walking towards the next stream, playing with a medium-sized snake gallstone in his hand. The light green color is much lighter than the plum green in the small town porcelain. The stone is round and smooth, very cute. Ping An immediately fell in love.

Chen Ping'an walked to the huge bluestone cliff on the shore. Children in the small town often bathe in this stream in the hot summer. The water under the cliff is especially deep. The deepest pit is as high as two Chen Ping'an, which is the second deepest of this creek. In the deep pool under the covered bridge, young people with good water like to compete here the most who can stay under the puddle for a long time.

The reason why Chen Pingan chose this deep pit was because when he and Liu Xianyang took a bath here before, they found that there were a lot of snake gallstones at the bottom of the pit. Liu Xianyang even deliberately floated up with a snake gallstone under his arm in order to show off his outstanding water quality. , Chen Ping'an remembered that the stone was at least as big as Gu Can's head. The stone was slightly white and transparent, and there were tiny bright red dots inside, like a frozen peach petal.

Liu Xianyang felt that this move was quite meaningful at the time, so he asked Chen Ping'an to help him carry such a large stone home. As a result, when he arrived in the small town, the tall boy with no character felt bored, so he asked Chen Ping'an to solve the stone by himself. Ping An had just walked into Mud Bottle Alley that time, when he found that the next door Zhi Gui was following behind him for no reason. He didn't speak. The meat bun was almost the same. Chen Ping'an couldn't bear her greed, so he gave her the stone. As a result, she couldn't move it at first, and almost smashed her foot. Chen Ping'an had to move to Song Jixin's yard. Go, as for the final whereabouts of the stone, Chen Ping'an is unknown.

The stone is as white as water, and the peach blossoms float in it.

Just like the peach blossoms in Taoye Lane after the rain, the color is full of green onions.

Even before today, Chen Ping'an didn't know the mystery of this kind of stone at all, and he always felt that the big stone was really beautiful from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Pingan sighed and stopped suddenly.

Thirty paces away, on the azure stone cliff by the stream, sat a girl in azure clothes, with bulging cheeks, but she was still stuffing something into her mouth.

The first impression in Chen Ping'an's mind was that the girl should have been reincarnated by a starving ghost, so she was so miserably hungry in the middle of the night.

Chen Pingan thought about it and stopped approaching, for fear of disturbing the girl's mood for supper.It's just that he didn't turn around and left. After all, he had already made up his mind. Tonight, he must go to the puddle to try his luck. Every time he touched a stone or two, he would go ashore. The snake gallstones in the pit are larger than the rest of the stream, and the colors seem to be more vivid.

Chen Ping'an's water is not as good as Liu Xianyang's, but it's not bad either.

Chen Pingan didn't expect that the strange girl would never have a rest when she finished eating, and then picked up another food from her side, and her cheeks would never stop puffing up.Chen Pingan carried half a basket of heavy stones on his back, thinking

Touching rocks after getting into the water is also physical work, so I turned sideways and took off the basket and put it on the ground.

Chen Ping'an underestimated the hearing of the girl in Tsing Yi, but as soon as she let it go, the girl suddenly pricked up her ears, and her eyes swept over instantly.

Chen Ping'an couldn't say that girl, you just eat slowly, so she smiled awkwardly.

The girl's expression was a little sluggish, and she burped twice in succession, and then she seemed to be choking, so she quickly straightened her chest and reached out to pat her chest hard.

It was only then that Chen Pingan realized that she was young, with her neck down, the scenery over there was truly spectacular, and she was not at all inferior to many women who had given birth to children.

The shirt on the chest was too tight.

Chen Ping'an quickly retracted his gaze, but he didn't have any evil thoughts.

Only then did the girl in green clothes remembered that she had brought a water bottle, she turned her back to Chen Ping'an, raised her head and took a gulp of water, and her breathing became smooth.

The boy with straw sandals actually had only one simple thought at the time. The fabric of this girl's clothes must not be cheap, otherwise she would not be able to bear so much energy.

The girl in Tsing Yi continued to eat. This time, she was more reserved. At least her cheeks were not so exaggerated. She lowered her head and nibbled at small mouths. From time to time, she squinted at the strange town boy, with a pair of peach-like long and narrow eyes, the end of the eyes slightly upward. Upturned, let the girl be born like a young fox charm.

She seems to be asking the boy with her eyes, what's the matter with you, keep on your way.

Chen Ping'an's face was helpless, so he could only stretch his finger to the stream outside the blue stone cliff, and shouted, "I didn't pass by here, I want to go to the stream on your side."

She looked at the thin young man, but didn't speak.

Chen Pingan quickly picked up a stone from the basket and continued to explain, "I'm going to pick up these stones from the stream."

The girl suddenly remembered the appearance of the important matter, and put her finger to her mouth, motioning Chen Ping'an not to speak, and then she moved her position, apparently to let Chen Ping'an go over, she would not prevent him from going into the water to pick up stones.

Chen Ping'an had no choice but to carry the basket and walk over there. Fortunately, the blue stone cliff is very large and can stand more than ten people, and the girl has already taken the initiative to sit on the edge. , An open package was placed on her knees, piled up with all kinds of pastries and snacks, like a hill. So far, only a small hill has been eaten by the girl.

Chen Ping'an put down his straw sandals, baskets, and bamboo baskets. Originally, he was thinking about the midnight, so he went into the water with his shirtless. Now don't think about it. There is an unfamiliar yellow-flowered girl sitting next to her, not to mention whether she will scream or not. If this was seen or heard by her parents, Chen Ping'an would not be wronged if her legs were broken.

Chen Ping'an came to the edge of the stone cliff, and a fierce boy rushed into the bottom of the puddle.

Soon I felt a stone, the size of my palm, but unfortunately it was not a snake gallstone, so I had to wipe my face and continue diving. After three times, I finally felt a blue-black snake gallstone.Chen Ping'an climbed up the stone cliff wet and wet, put it in the basket, and then continued to plunge into the water.

From start to finish, the girl turned her back to this side, busy eating.

In less than half an hour, Chen Ping'an had already found seven or eight stones. Except for the first one, which was dark in color, the rest of the stones were large and bright.

The last time I plunged Mengzi down, I didn’t take the stone ashore, but caught a live fish the length of my hand. The town is commonly known as slate fish. When I meet people, I like to hide under the stones. The meat is very delicious. Slightly longer than a finger, there is rarely such a big slate fish in Chen Ping'an's hands.Chen Ping'an was actually stealing cracks in the bottom of the pit before, and he touched a few, but he let it go for the sake of the stone. The fish soup for Miss Ning is also quite good.

After Chen Pingan came ashore, he threw the fish into the bamboo basket.

When he caught the fish for the second time and landed, Chen Ping'an suddenly found that the girl was squatting beside the fish basket, looking at the fish basket with a solitary fish lying there. The alley saw that the stone was almost the same.

Chen Pingan threw the second slate fish into the bamboo basket.

The girl slowly raised her head.

The barefooted teenager had turned and walked quickly, and got down the stream again.

After listening to the boy's plop, the girl quickly grabbed a fish from the bamboo basket, looked down at them still jumping, looked serious, nodded and said, "Amazing!"

The girl in Tsing Yi knew that there were many strange sights in this small town. The well named Xinghua Lane was hung with an iron lock of unknown length.The covered bridge not far away was actually a 3000-year-old stone arch bridge across the creek. At the bottom of the bridge was a rusty iron sword. The tip of the sword pointed to a bottomless turquoise pool.The crab archway with twelve legs, the dilapidated statues in the grass outside the ancestral hall, and the porcelain mountain in the north, piled up with the porcelain that was judged as defective by the superintendent of the past dynasties, all of which were smashed. smash, wait.

She even knew most of the reason.

She followed her father all over the world when she was very young, so she deserved to have seen the big world.

But when Chen Pingan grabbed the slate fish for the third time and landed, the girl with her hands empty still squatted beside the fish basket, but her hands were still wiping the corners of her clothes secretly. She looked up at the barefooted boy approaching, like The common people looked at the eyes of the gods.

Chen Ping'an was confused by her strange eyes, and asked tentatively, "Do you want these fish?"

The girl nodded subconsciously.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Then these three items are all for you. I'll catch them later."

The girl blinked and smiled happily.Foxy and flirtatious.
