Jianghuke

The sky is bright, the sun is rising, the majestic snow peaks are coated with a layer of golden red edges, and the snow surface reflects faint colorful rays of light, covering the whole mountain range under an unreal dream.

However, this magnificent and magnificent northern scenery is not very attractive to the two of them.

Chi Heting sat on a donkey, immersing himself in the study of the map; Gu Miao led the way, leading the dark cloud to step on the snow, pushing the curious flower cub back into the rattan frame from time to time.

"The soonest, we have to spend five nights in the mountains." Chi Heting put away the map after studying it, jumped to Gu Miao's side, fished it into the warm rattan frame, hugged the flower cub and rubbed it messily , Seeing its teeth and claws, couldn't help laughing, "It really brought this little guy in."

Hua Zai was so angry that he gnawed someone Chi unceremoniously.

Gu Miao closed the lid of the rattan frame with a "bang", grabbed his hand and looked carefully, saw that it was just a shallow tooth mark, and said with a relaxed expression, "Ah Chi, if you are free, why don't you teach me?" Do I know the way?"

"I'll teach you when I'm eating and resting." Chi Heting took out the roll of sheepskin map from his pocket and waved it in front of his eyes, "Baojiaobaohui."

When Gu Miao heard this, she bent her eyes and smiled, "What if I can't teach you?"

"How can my family in Sanshui not be able to teach it? If it is true..." Chi Heting pretended to be sorry, put on a look of having suffered a big loss, and said heartbrokenly, "Then I can only reluctantly lead you a lifetime .”

"Pfft."

"What are you laughing at, what if I make you laugh so hard." Chi Heting said seriously, "Laugh softly, do you hear me?"

The more he said that, the more Gu Miao couldn't stop laughing. The two of them were making a fuss on the mountain road, and it was Wuyun Taxue who was walking in the front who turned around in surprise, only to realize that these two idiots were actually left behind.

"Baby."

Chi Heting: "Alright, alright, Hei Zai is calling us."

Gu Miao corrected, "I think it's scolding us."

"Really? Then stew it in the library. By the way, we have to pick a place to light a fire and cook, so don't accidentally burn the book."

"No need." Gu Miao said, "the library has a secret passage leading to the tiankeng, and there is a courtyard built there. My mother took me to the library to play, just to live there for a while. Hmm... there should be one nearby. Hot spring, unfortunately my mother thought I was too young to let me take a bath."

"Huh? Eh??" Chi Heting was shocked.

In his previous life, as the second in command of Xuanzong, he went to the library to search for the method to crack the mechanism of the Qiankun Cave. People brought in food and drink, and found a place to make a living on the floor when he slept. He really didn't find such a cave.

"Didn't you say that we had a good relationship in the previous life?" Gu Miao thought of something, and asked narrowly, "Why, I didn't take you there?"

"..."

"Achi?"

Chi Heting panicked, and he almost bit his tongue when he spoke: "Then, at that time, Pei's villa was fine, but you thought the courtyard was not as grand as the villa, so you didn't take me there. I can't remember the rest... .”

Gu Miao blinked.

Chi felt even more guilty: "Why do you look at me like that?"

Gu Miao: "Ah Chi, you seem to have kept a lot of things from me."

Chi Heting: "!!!"

Seeing that he was so nervous that he was about to sweep away the snow under his feet, Gu Miao reached out and patted his cloak-wrapped head, and said magnanimously, "Forget it, I'll settle the score with you later."

"...When is the future?"

"Guess it?"

"Guess what... Sanshui! Don't go, wait for me!"

Three days later, the winding and narrow mountain road finally came to an end and disappeared in front of a cedar forest.

The murmurs that came from nowhere in my ears went away one after another, the vast forest, the snow-colored green pines, and even the wind blowing through was much gentler, as if I didn't want to disturb the tranquility.

When Gu Miao saw this pine forest, he was in a trance for a moment. Nostalgia, bewilderment, and timidity rushed into his heart. The mixed feelings made him feel palpitations.

Seeing his expression, Chi Heting understood a little bit, and said, "Do you recognize this place?"

"...Well, I recognize it." Gu Miao nodded lightly, and stroked a pine tree as a memory, "The Pei Family Villa is surrounded by such a pine forest. I remember that this forest is very big, so big that I want to secretly I couldn’t even sneak out to play, and almost got lost and froze to death outside.”

"This cedar forest is really big, and it will take two or three days to get through it." Chi Heting said, "Besides, there are not only..."

"There are not only ordinary pine trees, but also the 'guiding pine' buried in the mechanism." Gu Miao murmured, and then carefully identified it. After touching a few pieces of bark, she suddenly squatted down and pressed a button near the root of the tree. .The pine tree shook lightly twice, and "slapped" his head covered with snow.

Gu Miao: "..."

Chi Heting didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and cleaned the snow for him, saying: "You are really accurate in finding it."

Gu Meiren curled her lips: "I understand a little."

It's a pity that he was too young at that time, and only learned a little bit.

These guide pines buried in organs are real or fake, and they will change their positions. If you don’t know how to distinguish and try to find them by luck, most of them will end up miserable, either buried in the snow-capped mountains, or with no bones left.To find the correct way to the villa in such a large cedar forest, one must be very familiar with the Pei family's tricks.

Gu Miao hesitated for a moment, glanced at Chi Heting, hesitated to speak.

"how?"

"Achi, are you really not a wandering... collateral line of the Pei family?"

"I was younger than you when the accident happened in Pei's Villa. Even if I did, where would I go to learn?"

"Oh." Gu Miao was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up again, "I haven't been back for a long time, I don't know what the villa looks like now."

"Then let's go quickly."

After 15 years, the untouched ruins finally welcomed two guests again.

The perennial wind and snow buried most of the broken walls and engraved the traces of vicissitudes in every corner.Gu Miao hardly recognized it at first glance, this is the villa where he lived since childhood.

The courtyard where I played, the promenade I ran, the old tree I climbed, the little mecha that was dismantled in pieces, and the familiar faces of Yan Yan who talked and laughed...all were buried under the ice and snow.

Although he knew that everything had long since ceased to exist, he never expected to be wiped out so... completely.

He stood there, as if frozen into an ice sculpture.

The wind and snow howled, and there seemed to be souls of the dead lingering on the ruins, whimpering and moaning.

Chi Heting worriedly touched the cold fingertips, and called out in a low voice, "San Shui."

"I'm fine." Gu Miao sniffed, her voice was a little hoarse, she turned around and said, "Let's go to the library."

"You...won't you go in?" Chi Heting was afraid that he would accidentally poke his sore spot, so he said cautiously, "I can help sweep away the snow, some places are not too bad, maybe they can be repaired..."

"Most of the inheritance of the Pei family is in the library. That's the hometown I often dream about, the treasure I want to keep." Gu Miao stepped over a dilapidated low wall, walked around the main entrance, and walked towards the other side of the villa. Walking away, without looking at the ruins again, "It's also the secret I want to take you to see."

Chi Heting's eyelids twitched suddenly, as if being scalded by this word, his mind became slightly confused for a moment, and he was led forward by Gu Miao in a daze.

Gu Miao didn't notice his strangeness, and stopped and walked ahead, trying hard to recall that distant memory, circled a few times, and stopped by a well.

This is not a dry well, there is still water in it.It's just that most of the well was swallowed up by the old trees next to it, and the mouth of the well was covered by vines, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated, so I couldn't see it if I didn't pay attention.The vigorous roots of the dragon panqiu surround the eight trigrams well. At first glance, it seems that the tree grew out of the well.

Gu Miao brushed off the snow, pulled away the vines casually, and groped on the well wall for a while.

"Sanshui, what are you looking for?"

Gu Miao said succinctly: "Organ. There is a way to the library here."

Chi Heting was surprised again.

There is actually a secret road leading directly to the mountainside hidden near Pei's Villa, and you can reach the entrance of the library without risking the mountains and mountains.But after thinking about it, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't be too surprising that the Patriarch of the Pei family wouldn't dare to take the young Gu Miao there alone.

After a while, the ground around the Bagua Well trembled slightly.

Chi Heting was on alert immediately, for fear that the tree would suddenly move away or a door would open under his feet, and something would roll out no matter how bad it was.However, after waiting for a while, there was no other movement.

He was at a loss and was about to speak when he saw Gu Miao jumped down the well neatly.

"Sanshui!!!"
