Chapter 1714: Under Phoenix Mountain!

Speaking of this, Duan Lin burst into tears and choked up, "She must have expected the imminent death and was afraid that I would be left alone with no one to take care of me, so she drove me away..."

It's really sad, Su Hang felt a little sympathetic.

After hearing this, Wu Guihua's expression didn't change a little bit. After all, after living such a big age, human relationships are cold and warm, and life and death have been seen many times, and her heart has already been tempered like iron and stone.

"Emperor Master?" Wu Guihua turned to look at Su Hang. It was up to Su Hang to decide what to do next.

Su Hang thought for a while, got up and said, "No matter what, let's go to Phoenix Mountain to have a look."

Wu Guihua nodded slightly, and saw that Su Hang had used a magic trick in his sleeve to put Duan Lin in his sleeve.

After bidding farewell to Yihu and Su Yu, Su Hang left Longhu Mountain. Originally, he wanted to go to Taoyuan County to see the little sisters Min Rou and Min Ru, but after thinking about it, it is better not to disturb their peace The life of Taoyuan is originally a place away from the world, so there is no need for me to make waves.

On the same day, Su Hang left Xijiang Province and returned to Rongcheng in the middle of Sichuan.

After returning to Rongcheng, Su Hang went straight to Phoenix Mountain without stopping.

——

Phoenix Mountain is in the south of Sichuan, a place called Xinan County, which is relatively remote. There is a small village at the foot of the mountain, which is Fenghuang Village.

A dilapidated dirt road stretches out from the village. There was a light rain last night, and the road is a little muddy, with many motorcycle ruts on it.

Standing at the entrance of the village, you can already see a stretch of green hills. This Fenghuang Village is Chen San's hometown. This village is close to Fenghuang Mountain, and it is relatively closed, but the air is good, the environment is beautiful, and it is a rare original ecology.

A small river ditch flows down from the mountain and passes around the village. The water in the ditch is so clear that the stones in the ditch jingle.

Su Hang released Duan Lin, led by him, and the three entered the village together.

There are more than a hundred families in the village, all of which are brick and tile houses. Occasionally, one or two small buildings can be seen, which seem to stand out from the crowd. When entering the village, you can only hear some chickens and dogs barking, and the whole village seems a little deserted. , It was almost noon, and there was no smell of food.

"Why is this village so deserted?" Su Hang asked.

Duan Lindao, "The life in the village is too hard. Most of the young people have gone out to work, and only a few old and weak are left. It's just the beginning of spring and it's the busy farming season. I guess they all go to work in the fields."

Most of the current rural areas are like this. Like Suhang’s hometown Suxi, the changes brought about by Suhang in the past two years, except for some young people who want to see the outside world, basically no one is willing to go out, but if Two years ago, Suxi was like this, because spring tea was valuable, so after picking spring tea, many people would choose to go to the city to work, but the situation was not as serious as in Fenghuang Village.

The society is developing faster and faster, relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, this kind of understanding has become a thing of the past. As long as you go out once and see the prosperity outside, many people would rather go outside to work hard than stay in the village and face the loess. Turn your back to the sky.

Walking on the village road, I occasionally see one or two villagers passing by, and they all look at them curiously, obviously feeling strange.

Going around to the west of the village, Duan Lin stopped in front of an ordinary family. Su Hang looked up and saw a high courtyard wall made of stones. Inside the courtyard wall were four or five tile-roofed houses. There is no difference in other mountain families.

"This is it?" Su Hang pointed to the dilapidated courtyard in front of him and asked Duan Lin.

Duan Lin nodded. Compared with those tall buildings in the city, this small courtyard can only be said to be dilapidated, extremely dilapidated.

Xu Shi has been uninhabited all year round, half of the courtyard wall has collapsed, and the bricks have been picked up by some family to build a house. The courtyard is full of weeds, which are as tall as half a person.

The dilapidated tile-roofed house has a lot less tiles on the roof, revealing the decayed roof.

Mottled earth walls, dilapidated wooden windows, the main entrance and the side entrance are both wooden doors, tightly closed, with a small rusty lock hanging on each.

This house has been abandoned for a long time, and it is already unlivable.

Duan Lindao, "The nearby villagers will come here to build houses if they lack materials. A few years ago, when I came back, I cleaned it up once and let the villagers take good care of it. Unexpectedly..."

Speaking of this, Duan Lin's eyes became moist again. For such a big man, it seems that the scene in front of him really touched the softest part of his heart.

Duan Lin wiped his eyes, turned around, and pointed to a small building under the Tian ridge about forty or fifty meters away from the courtyard, "That's the Chen Sanjia."

From Su Hang's perspective, it was a small two-story building. In this closed village, it could already be regarded as very conspicuous, but from this position, one could only see the back of the house, not the front.

The house should have been repaired for three to five years. It seems that Chen San had a good time outside in those years.

Duan Lindao, "His old house has been demolished. This is a new house built a few years ago. It's a pity that I didn't see him when I went back to look for relatives last time..."

Speaking of this, Duan Lin paused, "I'm older than him. When I was young, few people in the village were willing to play with me. I just remember that we often went to the river in the village to catch fish and shrimp."

Some things, touched by the scene, can easily bring people's thoughts back to the past.

"We're not interested in listening to your memories. Open them and let's go in and have a look." Wu Guihua said to Duan Lin, always so puzzled.

Duan Lin withdrew his thoughts, didn't dare to disobey, quickly collected his mood, and walked towards the dilapidated house. The lock on the door was corroded, and even with the key, he couldn't open it. The two fingers of Duan Lin's right hand formed a sword, urging the innate qi, Turning into a ray of sword energy, it directly cut off the lock bar on the main door.

With a slight push, the old wooden door creaked and made a toothache sound, but it barely fell down.

A pungent musty smell and the smell of dust washed over the faces of the three of them. After waiting for a while, until the dust settled, Su Hang just raised his legs and stepped over the threshold and entered the house.

This is a very old mountain village residence. The walls are made of mud and bamboo chopsticks. It is a brick and wood structure. There is a main hall in the middle, commonly known as the main room. bathroom.

This kind of layout is very common in mountain villages at the end of the last century, and the old house of Su Hang's family has a similar layout.

The room is relatively dark, but because there are fewer tiles on the top of the head, the exposed skylight makes the room much brighter.

It was empty, with nothing but dust and cobwebs, just a broken table. I don’t know if it was like this, or it was emptied by the villagers. On the dusty table, there were a few broken and dusty tables. Bowl, and a small oil lamp.
