Chapter 37 Tianchi Taoyuan

Dongye raised his head and looked up at the people. He saw that the gap between the mountain was about several meters high and less than one meter wide. The cracks of the strange rocks on the mountainside of Xuefeng were covered with pine trees. From a distance, the gap was covered by pine branches, and it was impossible to notice that there was something strange here. He felt that this thread of sky should actually be called a cave. He immediately drove the lion into the dark cave and turned a corner. He could see a little light in the distance, and then walked straight to the light.

Walking forward dozens of feet in the narrow cave, I felt like I was climbing up the road. As the road became steeper and brighter, my eyes became brighter and brighter. I walked up dozens of feet, and suddenly the sun shone brighter. Dongye closed his eyes and calmed down. When he opened his eyes, there was a green valley with flowers in clusters of flowers, with peach blossoms and green willows, and countless peach blossoms on the endless green trees ahead were blooming pretty.

Dongye was happy in his heart and smiled and said, "I have been here. Ten years ago, I remember it was during the Northern Expedition. After a great victory, dozens of us waited, and somehow we entered here. I didn't expect that we would find this place again today. I guess the lion hunted the calf here!"

Zhen Liuqi turned over and jumped off his seat and said, "This place is not too big, and the owner of the calf should be found soon. Since that's the case, let's place the lion in a secluded place to prevent scaring the people here. How about I walk there?"

Higashino nodded and said yes, and immediately settled the lion to rest among several peach trees behind a huge rock. The two of them walked forward and looked for the other family.

.

The two of them walked through the blooming peach blossom forest. They didn't walk far away. The eyes suddenly became clear. A quiet lake suddenly appeared in front of them.

The lake is green, green like beautiful jade, and flawless; the lake water is clear and the reflection around the mountains is clearly visible; the lake water is bright, bright like a silver mirror, magnificent and colorful; the lake surface is round, shaped like lotus leaves, and the surface is first exposed; the lake surface is surrounded by peaks and stands on the top of the snow-capped mountains. In fact, it should not be called a lake, but a Tianchi. The sky pond seems to be ground heat under this Tianchi. Although the north wind and frost and the ice and snow are drizzling between the sky and the mountains are drifting, only this Tianchi and its green valley surrounded by mountains are full of vitality, peach willows are shaded, flowers are blooming, and pink is fragrant.

The two of them came to the edge of Tianchi, looked up, and looked around the fields. They saw snow peaks on all sides, which were steep and steep, and they were determined not to climb in and out.

Walking along the grass by the lake, after a while, five or six goats were looking down on the grass and not afraid to see them. When they saw them, they were not afraid. They walked not far away and saw two cows and a calf also grazing on the grass. Another sharp-horned bull looked up and saw them, but was not afraid. He raised his head and mooed, and then lowered his head to continue eating grass. Dongye Weimin and Zhen Liuqi clearly saw that the four large and small yellow ox had a mark on the left side of the back hip, which was both like the word "earth" and the word "scholar". The two couldn't help but look at each other, nodded at the same time, and walked along the path.

.

Not far away, I heard more than ten birds chirping on the trees, flying among the peach willows.

Passing by the chirping birds, not far away, the sound of chickens and dogs barking comes one after another, and then the two of them are several flat and wide farmlands, with paths intertwined; several scattered buildings, there is a small pond in the building, and a few ducks or geese are swimming happily on the water surface, with white hair floating on the green water, and red palms ripping the clear waves.

At the end of the path, there was a farmhouse. When we arrived at the door, a black earth dog was lying horizontally on the side of the door. He heard the footsteps of two strangers, and turned over and barked at them wildly.

Hearing the black dog barking, a squeak, a cedar door opened, and a man walked out of the farmhouse, with a square scarf in blue, thin eyes and long beard, seven feet tall, about thirty years old. When he saw the two, he looked very surprised, bowed and asked, "Who are you two, and where are you here?"

Zhen Liuqi and Dongye Weimin took a look and then replied: "I am originally a local hunter in Manchuria. Yesterday afternoon, a beast I raised went out to hunt on my own, but unexpectedly I hunted a livestock with a master. Therefore, I came to find the owner of the livestock early this morning. Who owns the four yellow cows on the grass outside?"

The man looked at the fur clothes that the two of them were wearing and the hunting forks and iron spears they were holding, nodded, and bowed, "I, Luo Shiyin, is a farmer from Taohuayuan Village, Tianchi. I originally had five yellow oxen, one of them, two cows, and two calves that were born less than half a year ago. When the moon started counting last night, I found that a calf was lost. Unexpectedly, it was the two who had obtained it. I had to bother my brothers and come to return it without hesitation. It was really a laborious thing!" After saying that, I gave a deep gift.

Zhen Liuqi also gave a tribute and said with a smile: "I am Zhen Liuqi, this is my eldest brother Jia. How dare you ask this brother, what are the marks of your calf?"

Luo Shiyin replied: "My five yellow cows are all on the left side of the back hip. They all have a mark made of fire tongs. They are the word "Shi". This is because there is the word "Shi" in my name. It is most convenient to use this word to get the print!"

Dongye Weimin took out the preserved fur of the calf's hip from his arms and handed it to Luo Shiyin, and asked, "Brother, come and see, but this mark?"

Luo Shiyin took a look and didn't take it, but said, "It's the lost calf in my family. I dare to ask Brother Jia why there is only this little fur left?"

Dongye Weimin felt a little embarrassed and replied, "A lion raised at home hunted this calf. When we discovered it, the calf was dead, so its body had been eaten by the lion and the hunting dog. Now we are here to compensate with other things. Brothers of the Luo family, can this piece of bear fur compensate the calf's loss?" As he said this, Zhen Liuqi next to him had already untied the rope tied around his waist, took off the bundle of bear fur on his back, and handed it to Luo Shiyin.

Luo Shiyin held the bear fur in both hands, but said, "I don't know the value of this fur thing, so I still need to ask someone to ask. Please come with me." After saying that, he turned around and entered the yard.

Dongye Weimin followed closely and came to the yard. He saw a few ridges of vegetables planted in the yard, and a row of stents were set up with willow branches. Several melon vines spread up along the bracket. There were a few small cucumbers hanging among them. There were more than a dozen yellow male flowers among the vines, and several female cores with melon seedlings were also blooming.

When he reached the door of the house, Luo Shiyin held the bear fur in both hands, lifted the curtain with his elbow, and walked in.

Dongye Weimin was about to enter the house, but Zhen Liuqi grabbed his arm and winked at him, asking him to look up at the lintel of the door.
