Youjia Inn

Chenjia Village is not a big place. There are only more than 50 households in a village. It is located in a circle of rolling hills and forests, surrounded by mountains and rivers, without being disturbed by the outside world.

At the foot of the mountain, there are [-] acres of fertile fields, fruits and vegetables, whatever you grow.There are only two rice crops a year in nearby villages, but three crops a year can be achieved here.

Basically everyone can get one-third of an acre of land. If they work hard, every household can achieve self-sufficiency and live a peaceful and happy life.

The old people in the village often say that the weather and rain in Chenjia Village are good every year, and the grains are plentiful. This is all blessed by the Dragon King.In the Dragon Pond in the depths of Nanshan Mountain lived the Dragon King.

The legendary Longtan is a small pond ten meters square, hidden in the depths of Nanshan Mountain, and it cannot be found unless someone is destined.

The bottom of Longtan is clear, and there is a group of palm-sized small fish swimming at the bottom of the pool all year round.In the early morning, there will be a ray of golden sunlight piercing through the barriers like a sword, lighting up the entire Longtan.

Longtan has no springs to replenish water, and no mountain streams to communicate with each other. However, no matter how hot the winter is, the water in the pool will not increase or not, and the water temperature will be maintained at the most satisfactory state. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.

A long time ago, a villager from Chenjiazhuang went up the mountain to cut firewood. When he saw something shining in the mountain depression, he thought there was some rare treasure.

I followed the direction of the light, but Bao didn't see it, but saw a pool shining in the sun.

The bottom of the pool can be seen clearly, so where can there be any treasures? The angry man rummaged through every stone in Longtan, and all he found was the black and shiny bottom of the pool. If the treasure was not found, the whole pool was messed up.

The man returned angrily, but unexpectedly slipped and broke his leg while going down the mountain.

That person encountered Longtan without a doubt, this should have been a good thing, but that person should never have disturbed the pool and disturbed the gods, so the gods punished him to lie on the bed for half a year.

"Okay, you little ones, this is the end of the story of Longtan, you guys, go back to eat, if you don't go back to eat, be careful of your ass blooming." Grandpa Sun rubbed the girl's head with a smile.

"Grandpa, grandpa, is the story of Longtan true?" San Wazi looked at Grandpa Sun with bright eyes.

"Haha, of course it's true." Old man Sun's smile deepened, and the creases on his face also deepened, forming a criss-crossing net.

Old man Sun came to Chenjia Village ten years ago. When he came here, he looked very old, like a piece of dried orange peel. Ten years later, he also looked very old, still like a piece of dried orange peel. His appearance has not changed much.

It may be that when a person gets old to a certain extent, the years will be more tolerant to him, because he has too many wrinkles, and even looking at the years can only shake his head and cannot cut.

Don't look at grandpa grandpa as old, but he has always been in good health. After a lot of years, he went to the field to sow and harvest wheat, and did all the farm work by himself.

The memory is also very good, and everything that has been done, one by one, one by one, is clear, especially for these legends in Chenjia Village, he remembers them better than the villagers.

One of the happiest things for the children in the village is to pester grandpa grandpa to tell stories.

"Big Mao! Er Mao! Why don't you come back for dinner!"

"San Wazi is ready for dinner!"

"Two eggs!"

When it was time for dinner, the chimney spewed out the last smoke ring under the setting sun, and the aroma of cooking had already wafted out for thousands of miles.The hostesses with loud voices called their playful children.

A dozen or so children rubbed their grumbling stomachs, got up from the stone bench, patted the ashes on their buttocks, and reluctantly said goodbye to grandpa grandpa.

Grandpa Sun nodded with a smile, and after all the children were gone, he moved the chair and walked back to the room.

According to the rules in the village, children do not eat at the table.Adults eat at a big table, while children hold a big bowl, put food into the bowl, and eat on a small stool beside them.

When eating with adults, you should always be more polite, sit upright, and eat every grain of rice in an orderly manner.

No one will talk to your child when you are eating. The adults are in charge of the adults, and the children can only stare at one side. The voice said that I had finished eating before I could leave.

After dinner, the day's activities should be over, and children are not allowed to sneak out to play at night.

I don't know who came up with the idea first, and brought the bowl to eat under the camphor tree at the entrance of the village, which is a good place for villagers to hang cool.

The locust tree embraced by three people stretches out its thick branches to provide a green shade and coolness in the hot summer.

Generally, there are a lot of people here. After finishing the farm work and eating, many people will choose to rest here for a while and enjoy the rare leisure of this day.

But there is no one at the meal, and the locust tree has become the world of children.A group of little ghosts gathered together, no one cared about jumping up and down, and the bowl didn't break, it was really amazing.

The adults acquiesced to this kind of behavior. At that time, there were no entertainment activities in the village. After dinner, the children were about to wash up and go to bed obediently. Let them give them an hour of play time on credit.

In addition, the women can also see some gossip from the meals shared by the children. It is very clear who ate fish today and who used sesame oil today.

If you're lucky, you may also meet the playful old man Sun who is holding a bowl and eating together with the children. Usually, in this case, old man Sun will give everyone extra meals.

Old man Sun didn't come today, a group of brats besieged the city with their heads pouted, whispering head to head, secretly planning some troublesome action, and even put the bowl aside.

"Alas, what Grandpa Sun said is true, do you believe it?"

"Anyway, I kind of believe it, and think that Longtan may exist."

"How about we get up early tomorrow and go to the mountains to look for it?"

"Okay, okay, everyone is idle when they are idle."

"Remember not to let the family know that we went to find Longtan, if we find out, we must beat him to death."

"It's an appointment. After breakfast tomorrow morning, we'll meet at the old place."

"okay."

Teenagers are the age when children are not afraid of heaven and earth, go to the house to uncover tiles, go down to the river to fish for fish, steal a handful of tributes, go to heaven and earth, there is no taboo.

There were a few masters who dared to take the lead in making trouble, and the remaining eight or nine timid people became active.

All ghosts need to be respected, and gods should not disturb. At this moment, in the eyes of these children, there is only fun left.

A place as miraculous and fun as Longtan, Old Man Sun said it was so serious, how could this group of children let it go.

At a "historically significant" dinner table meeting, this group of brats made a decision to go to Longtan, let him go to Longtan and Tiger's Lair——

The next day, the dawn was still very early, and a round of golden sun was already hanging high in the sky.Everyone took a few mouthfuls of food and came out in a hurry. After a while, everyone was there, even the fattest guy who was usually the most smudged, arrived early.

A few older children walked in the front to open the way, and a group of children rushed to Nanshan with such high spirits. How come they are not so enthusiastic when they study at the teacher's place.

After searching for it all morning, a group of half-grown children wandered all over the mountains and plains. They almost searched all over the mountains, and they didn't even see the shadow of Longtan. Instead, they were sweating profusely and hungry.

What kind of Longtan are you looking for? What a fool. I grew up on this mountain and never heard adults say that I have seen a decent pond. Old man Sun tricked me.

"I won't look for it, I won't look for it anymore." Pang puffed his ass on the ground, panting, "I can't do it if I want to look for you, we are very familiar with this land, and we have never seen a pond with anything. "

When Fatty said that, everyone stopped in their tracks.A few younger children also leaned against the tree dejectedly.

Looking at the expectant eyes of this group of tired half-dead children, and thinking about his swollen and sore legs, the leader, Da Mao, put down the hatchet he stole from home and used to open the way: "Let's end today, we will continue to look for it." You can only go back at night, and it’s already too late for lunch, if you miss dinner again, you will be beaten, let’s rest for a while, and we’ll go back after the rest.”

"Oh!" the children began to cheer.

"There are fish in this stream! Anyone want to eat fish?"

"Yes, I'm starving to death, I want to bake it for a long time!"

A group of children suddenly regained their strength, and they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight hard.

Da Mao was working hard to cut the wood, and Sanwazi, who had been silent all this time, walked up to Da Mao and said softly, "Da Mao, rest first, and I will walk around casually."

"What are you going for? I haven't been inside with your dad. Let me tell you, I didn't even walk inside." Da Mao pursed his mouth unhappily.

"Anyway, if you want to grill fish, I'll be back in a few quarters of an hour at most."

"All right, you go." Da Mao handed the hatchet to San Wazi, "Here you are, the road inside is not easy to walk, be careful, don't go too far."

"No, no, I'll just take a walk nearby, I won't go too far inside." Sanwazi said.

"Okay, be careful not to fall."

"Got it." San Maozi waved at Da Mao and walked forward.

There is a voice in his heart that keeps telling him that it is nearby, it is nearby, and he cannot give up!

"Which direction is it going?" Sanwazi was thinking at the fork in the road, but unconsciously took a step to the left, "Hey, to the left."

Sanwazi followed the feeling and walked for about 10 minutes. Suddenly, when he looked up, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear, and he turned back to the main road, which was walked by the villagers no less than a hundred times.

Sanwazi stopped in his tracks, shook his head in disappointment, thought he was a destined person, let's go back, how could there be such a big road.

Thinking so in my heart, my feet still walked along the road for a while.

The avenue is bright, the stream beside the road is gurgling, the bamboos are green, and there are white butterflies fluttering from time to time.The beautiful scenery did not make Sanwazi happy at all.

"Forget it! Go back." Sanwazi turned around, but her feet stopped when she was about to leave. There seemed to be something shining in the bamboo forest.

He hurriedly turned his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the flickering bean in the bamboo forest in disbelief.

Sanwazi held her breath and tiptoed forward.As soon as I stepped into the bamboo forest, more than half of the summer heat disappeared, and the light spot in front of me became bigger again.Sanwazi trotted a few steps to push aside the bamboo blocking the way, and covered his mouth in surprise.

The ten-meter-square pool is shining brightly under the sunshine, as beautiful as the colorful tears in the corners of the mountain god's eyes.

Sanwazi couldn't help getting closer, there were no water plants in the pool, the bottom was clear and there were several koi inside, swimming among the rocks at the bottom of the pool.

They are not afraid of being seen by Sanwazi approaching, and they all gather together, colorful, even the best embroiderers will never be able to embroider this brocade handkerchief suspended in the water.

He stretched out a finger, poked the water surface that didn't overflow, and the fish scattered away.

It feels cold to the touch and has a slight gel-like elasticity, which is not as wet as ordinary water.

Sanwazi picked up a handful of water and took a sip, the exhaustion and heat from walking for half a day were washed away by the coolness.

Seeing that Sanwazi had no malice, the fish gathered again, and Sanwazi put his hand in the water again, and the fish rushed over and tapped Sanwazi's hand lightly with their mouths.

Sanwazi felt a little itchy and couldn't help laughing.

"Huh? Why is that stone moving?" Sanwazi took two steps forward, and the fish followed suit. Sanwazi took two steps towards the stone, and the fish just floated in place, quietly Watching Sanwazi's movements.

"My God!" Sanwazi hurriedly reached down and removed a big black stone.

It turned out that a small, ugly fish was crushed under the black stone.The other fish are about one foot long, and it is only as big as a palm. The other fish are all colorful, but it is black, not the glossy jet black, with a little gray inside. Even ordinary crucian carp looks They are more spiritual than him.

If it weren't for Sanwazi's sharp eyes, this little fish would have struggled under the rock for a long time.

As soon as it was released, the little fish hid in the crevice of the rock again.

"Ha, you're not a good boy, you're going to drill into the crevices of the rocks." San Wazi removed the rock that was blocking the little fish.

The little fish shrank into the corners of the pool again, covering its eyes with its fins in a humane manner.

"Haha, are you still shy?" Sanwazi suddenly remembered that he was dragged out by Er Mao before breakfast today, and there was still half a piece of cold steamed bun in his pocket.He broke off a small piece and placed it in front of the little black fish.

"Eat it, the steamed buns made by my mother are the most delicious."

There was no movement, the little black fish still covered its head with its fins.

Sanwazi turned around, walked up to the group of koi carps that were motionless, broke off some steamed buns and placed them in front of them.The koi spit bubbles at Sanwazi, and started to eat in an orderly manner.

Sanwazi peeked at the little black fish out of the corner of his eye, and found that the little black fish had swallowed the small portion of steamed buns in one gulp.

Is this how long it's been since I've eaten so hungry?

The little black fish seemed to find that Sanwazi was peeking at it, so he spat a bubble at him in embarrassment.Once again ducked aside.

"I asked if you usually bully the little black fish. Mom said that people who bully other children are bad people. If you bully it, you will be a group of big bad fish. You need to love each other in the future, you know." Sanwazi fed the fish , chattering.

"Three children!"

"San Wazi! Where are you!"

"Sir, we're leaving!"

From outside the forest, the calls of the friends came.Sanwazi divided the steamed buns in his hand, and gave another piece to the little black fish, and hurried out.

"I'm here! I found Longtan!"
