There is new rain in the empty mountains, between the mountains and forests, the bushes on both sides of the road are covered with rain, and the raindrops slide from the hanging leaves and hit the soil. A person walked on the mountain road. Although it was raining lightly, he walked in a leisurely manner, and from time to time he would look at the scenery on both sides.
The rain made the mountain road muddy, and his clothes were stained with a little dirt, and he could only walk slowly towards the mountain with one deep foot and one shallow foot.
When most people encounter such a situation, they should have turned back halfway, but instead he lingered in the scenery in the mountains, his eyes full of splendor.
It was the first time for him to tour the forest on the mountain behind the academy so carefully.
Today I didn't care to listen to the teacher's lecture, so I escaped. I just wanted to look around, but I didn't expect that the scenery in this mountain is so beautiful.
Because it is in the back mountain of the academy, this mountain forest is generally not visited by people. The vast blue sky and the distant mountains in the clouds are fascinating, attracting this young man named Ji Kang to walk farther and farther along the mountain stream. .
He didn't know how long he walked, but he probably climbed over one or two hills and came to a relatively flat forest.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of apes coming from the side of his ears. Looking up, he saw a few apes jumping from the branches of the trees.
Then there was another burst of birdsong, and a group of birds circled towards the outside of the forest.
Then, he saw the mountain deer running and the fish jumping into the shallow stream.
At that scene, it was as if all the animals in the forest were rushing to one place.
There was no complete mountain road ahead, but Ji Kang couldn't bear his desire to find out, so he leaned into the forest and walked through the trees towards the direction where the animals went away.
After walking for hundreds of steps, the road under his feet became deeper and deeper, Ji Kang still had no intention of turning back, and only focused on walking towards the source.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a piano, that sound may be just a soft sound to others, but he is very fond of piano music, so just one sound made him sure that it was the sound of a piano.
Is there someone playing the piano in the deep mountains
Ji Kang became more interested immediately, he thought, that must be a wonderful person. Why don't you go and see her, if you can have a chat and ask for a few drinks, it would be great.
Thinking of this, his pace quickened a bit.
Walking along the sound of the piano, as he got closer and closer, the sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, and he became more and more immersed in it.
Until the end, he stopped in his tracks, with an intoxicated look on his face, and stood in the woods blankly.
Listening to the sound of the piano and the wind gently moving the mountains and forests, there is no distraction, as if all distracting thoughts have been thrown away, and the heart is clear, like still water without waves.
He stood there and listened until he woke up when he heard the last sound of the song fall.
The place where the sound of the piano stopped was already very close to him. Looking at a bush in front of him, Ji Kang took a deep breath, pushed aside and walked out.
The next moment he walked out of the forest, the originally deep road suddenly became open, and his somewhat gloomy vision suddenly brightened up because there was no shelter from the trees.
He squinted his eyes, and after a while, when his eyes got used to the light, he gradually saw what was in front of him clearly, and stopped in a daze.
The scenery in front of him may be a wonder that he has never seen in his life.
The mountain streams converge into a pond here, the water is so clear that you can even see the stones and fish swimming in the water. On the bank of the pond is a stone-paved clearing, surrounded by trees, which makes it seem isolated from the world.
The mountain deer he saw just now were stopping in groups to drink by the stream, some of them were very beautiful, their coat color reflected the light in the sunlight.
Birds perched on the branches of trees and combed their feathers, while apes sat cross-legged or squatted among stones and branches, occasionally babbling or calling twice.
They seemed to be attracted by the sound of the piano. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Ji Kang would have always thought that such things would only appear in rumors and wild stories.
But after hearing the sound of the piano, Ji Kang only felt that it was all a matter of course.
Where does the sound of the piano come from
Ji Kang looked to the side of the pond, and he saw a person. The person was wearing a bamboo hat, a coir raincoat, and a fishing rod in his hand, as if he was fishing, and beside her was a long piano.
She sat in the drizzle, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her.
"Fairy?"
Ji Kang murmured that he was mistaken for an immortal in the past, but today, he felt that he had seen an immortal.
The fish in the water didn't intend to take the bait. Hearing something, Gu Nan turned around and saw a young man standing by the edge of the forest talking nonsense.
At first she was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect that there would be people coming to this kind of place, then she turned her head silently, ignored the young man, but looked at the fish in the water and pulled the fishing line.
A mountain deer walked up to her side slowly, leaned down, Gu Nan reached out and touched its smooth fur, the mountain deer seemed very docile, and rubbed its neck against her coir raincoat.
It took a long time for Ji Kang to come back to his senses, and with a self-deprecating smile, he walked slowly to the edge of the pond, stood behind Gu Nan, bowed down contentedly.
"It's enough to hear the sound of the zither from the Xian family today."
"You are young, but you are talking nonsense." Gu Nan took the fishing rod and gave him a sideways glance: "Where did you come from such a fairy family?"
Ji Kang smiled helplessly, looked at the birds and beasts sitting quietly all around, and thought to himself.
With this appearance, you are not a fairy family, who is still a fairy family
As long as he sees through and doesn't tell the truth, Ji Kang smiles and doesn't say a word, and he doesn't talk to Gu Nan without authorization. He thinks these are fairy fates.
What the Xian family wants to say is what they want, and as much as they want to say.
So he just stood quietly behind Gu Nan, watching her fish.
Gu Nan didn't know what was going on today. He went out to fish, and met a strange young man. First he came up and said she was a fairy, and then stood beside her for a long time without saying a word, just watching her fish, which made her feel uncomfortable.
Sighing, he took a look at the young man and said aloud.
"Look at Xiao Lang's dress, but he is a student of Chinese studies nearby?"
"Sir, I am clearly a student of a hundred schools of thought." Ji Kang's expression was pleasantly surprised, he thought that he would not even say a word to him if he stood in the fairy house for a whole day.
"En." Gu Nan responded, knowing that he was a student of the academy, and asked casually.
"What did you learn?"
"Back to Xian's house, most of the students are learning some pharmacology and arts recently." Ji Kang answered truthfully, briefly explaining what he had learned recently.
"In addition, he is still learning some metaphysics (in history, he created a new style of metaphysics. Of course, the metaphysics at that time was not exactly the meaning of the metaphysics now.)"
"Metaphysics." Gu Nan raised his eyebrows and nodded, no wonder he learned it like this.
What is wrong with learning at a young age, learning metaphysics.
Gu Nan spent a day fishing by the pond, and the young man also sat by the pond for a day.
Occasionally, when Gu Nan felt bored fishing, he picked up the long piano beside him and played a few passages to entertain himself. Ji Kang sat with a few mountain deer and listened quietly with his eyes closed. The mountain deer was familiar with this young man. Avoid him, let him sit aside.
When Ji Kang opened his eyes again, he realized that it was already evening. He thought that the mountain was so isolated from the world that there was no sun and moon, and he was so leisurely that people forgot about the time.
Gu Nan put away her fishing rod and was about to leave. It was rare for her to catch a few fish today. The beautiful mountain deer that was closest to her also stood up and followed behind her.
It was time for Ji Kang to leave, otherwise it would be a troublesome thing if he stayed in the mountains at night. He watched one person and one deer go away, and asked aloud.
"Xianjia, can I still come tomorrow?"
Too lazy to correct his address, Gu Nan waved his hand.
"Come whenever you want, I can't control you."
"Thank you Xianjia."
Ji Kang's voice came from behind.
Gu Nan didn't turn her head to say goodbye. After she and the deer walked a long way along the water, she looked at the mountain deer beside her and said.
"That young man, did you attract it?"
It is unheard of for a person to talk to a deer, but who knows that the deer really moved its ears as if it was spiritual.
"I didn't lure him here on purpose, but when I came here to listen to the music, he happened to bump into me and followed me all the way."
A deer said something, Gu Nan would have been scared hundreds of years ago, but now she just listens to it calmly.
There are always some things that cannot be explained, just like she herself is an immortal person.
What's more, this guy in the mountain deer can be regarded as an old acquaintance of hers. She heard its voice decades ago when she was by the Chibi River.
After she lived in seclusion here with Lingqi and Xiu'er, it also came here twice, counting this time, it should be the third time.
She hadn't seen what it looked like, and she didn't know what it was called. She only knew that sometimes it came as a woodcutter in the mountains, and sometimes as a woman washing clothes.
And this time, it was this mountain deer, and probably all the birds and monkeys in the forest were attracted by it.
One person and one deer walked in the forest, there was no sound except the sound of the mountain deer's hooves stepping on the stones.
A hut appeared in the distance of the stream, and the mountain deer stopped, as if they were about to be sent here.
Before leaving, it looked at Gu Nan and asked.
"You are immortal, don't you find it boring to live in such a deserted place?"
It thinks it understands everyone in the world, but sometimes, it really can't understand her. It is obviously a dead person who seeks peace in the world, but when it seeks, it just lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
"Why is it boring? The past few decades have been a rare leisure in my life."
Gu Nan looked at the mountain deer. This deer was really good-looking, with shiny fur, flapping its pointed ears, and a healthy body.
I just don't know how it tastes like.
Unconsciously, I reached out and scratched the mountain deer's neck. The fluff is very soft and feels good to the touch.
Yamaga raised his head and took a half step back helplessly, avoiding Gu Nan's hand.
Although Gu Nan felt comfortable, it always gave it an inexplicable feeling.
"Forget it, you live here, it's better not to cause trouble for me."
After speaking, Yamaga turned back and walked into the forest.
When it was gone, Gu Nan turned around holding the fish frame and looked at the hut by the stream.
Looking at the flickering light in the cabin, she smiled slightly and walked slowly.
(One thing I can assure you is that there will not be too strong a fantasy atmosphere, and the focus will still be on history. These two should be the only things in this book that cannot be explained by common sense.) 2k Reading Network
