my dream forest

Chapter 1

"April in the world is exhausted, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temples begin to bloom."

Just after the bus got off the "Eighteen Plates", the peach blossoms blooming on the hillside on the other side of the river came into Feng Tiance's eyes, which made him suddenly think of this ancient poem.

There are two heavens inside and outside the mountains, and in my Xiegu Village, spring comes late and leaves later.

The peach forest on the hillside behind the village has existed since Feng Tiance could remember. Every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, a group of children in the village have imagined the taste of peaches.

And every time the peaches are ripe, the old Taoist grandfather will always carry a basket and take Feng Tiance to pick fruits together.And every time, the old Taoist grandfather did not forget to tell him: Eat less, eating too many peaches will hurt people.

But now, the green mountains are still the same as the peach forests, but the old Taoist grandfather is no longer there.

"Here we are, take your things and get out of the car."

With the driver's shout, the bus stopped slowly.Feng Tiance woke up from his contemplation, and glanced out the window, it turned out that Qilipu had arrived.

Qilipu is still a few miles away from Xiegu Village. It was originally a temporary camp spontaneously formed by some mountain travelers and timber merchants, but now it has become a foothold for city people to come to enjoy the scenery.

The bus coming from the town will stop at Qilipu. If you want to go back to Xiegu Village, you have to walk for a while and take a boat across the river from the ferry to get home.

Xiegu Village can be said to be the most remote mountain village in Yishan County. Behind the village is the towering Daqing Mountain.Going inside is the depths of the mountains, and there is no way out if the mountains are connected.

Walking across a small impact plain in front of the village is the 60-meter-wide Sishui River. On the other side of the river, to the south of the village, is another mountain - "Hengling".A winding mountain road on Hengling is the only channel connecting Xiegu Village with the outside world, and it is called "Eighteen Pans" by everyone.

The terrain of Xiegu Village is actually a grand canyon, and the Sishui River flows from west to east, just blocking the way out from east to west.

There is a big mountain in the north and south, and the Sishui River in this section is fast-flowing and full of hidden reefs, and it is impossible to take a boat down from the upper reaches.

Only at the widest part of the impact plain in front of the village, the river is slightly slower and there is a ferry to cross the river.

After getting out of the car, Feng Tiance dragged a large suitcase, a backpack on his back, and a laptop slung over his shoulder.If you add the 8000 yuan in his bank card, these are Feng Tiance's entire possessions.

After crossing the river, he greeted familiar or unfamiliar villagers from the same village along the way, and Feng Tiance returned to his and his old grandfather's home.

"Four years of college, two years of work, I just came back with nothing? What a failure!"

Seeing the weeds growing in the yard, the dead tree in the southeast corner, and the dilapidated three-story bungalow, Feng Tiance was filled with emotion for a moment.

Feng Tiance became an orphan after he was three years old, and he was adopted by the old Taoist grandfather.

The old Taoist grandfather's surname is Xu. When he was young, everyone called him "Xu Taoist", and when he got old, everyone called him "Xu Laodao".

Xu Laodao first became a monk in a small Taoist temple in Daqingshan. After his master died and the Taoist temple was destroyed, he went down the mountain and settled down in Xiegu Village.

The old Taoist knows some medical skills and often goes to the mountains to collect herbs.Sometimes he also goes out of the mountains to perform errands for those who are doing funerals.

Xu Laodao never got married all his life, so his days passed day by day, and Feng Tiance grew up day by day.

Xu Laodao resolutely forbids Tiance to learn his skills, and only blindly urges his children to study until Feng Tiance's death in his junior year.

"Old Daoist Grandpa, I have failed your expectations."

Feng Tiance did not find a job he wanted after graduating from Yanjing Linda Forestry, and then worked in a garden company in the provincial capital for two years.

Many of his classmates from that year were admitted to the Forestry Department, Forestry Bureau, Forestry Academy, etc. It was a pity that Feng Tiance had no way out, and his grades were not so good, so he could only stare in envy.

During the past two years in the gardening company, despite all the hardships and hardships, his female boss somehow always found Feng Tiance disliked and always gave him small shoes to wear.

At first he couldn't figure out why he was being targeted. Speaking of which, Feng Tiance was 1.8 meters tall, well-proportioned, sunny and handsome, and his only shortcoming was that he was a little dark.But it doesn't make people look boring, right?
Later, a colleague told him that the female boss hates all handsome men!Such a weird reason really kills the dog!

Therefore, Feng Tiance resigned altogether, and this time he came back and planned to rest in his hometown for half a year.If possible, it is better to contract a mountain forest in the village and live the pastoral life that I like in my heart.At the very least, you can apply what you have learned, and live up to the forestry major that you have studied so hard.

"Come on, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse! Let's get to work."

After putting the luggage into the house, Feng Tiance took off the watch and put it on the table with the mobile phone, rolled up his sleeves and prepared for the general cleaning.There is no way, there is a thick layer of dust in the house, and all kinds of debris are floating in the well in the yard, and they have to be cleaned.

He decided to clean up the weeds in the yard first, so he dug out a rusty hatchet from the corner of the main room, went to the well and sharpened it.

"click, click"

Feng Tiance worked harder and harder, as if venting the unhappiness accumulated in his heart.Inadvertently, the pendant hanging around his neck was thrown out of his clothes.

The pendant was obtained from the old Taoist grandfather, and it was carved from an unknown stone, like a small jade tablet.The word "Dongtian" is engraved in seal characters on the front and back, and there are some complicated patterns around it.

It is said that it was handed down from Xu Laodao's master's master. After it fell into Feng Tiance's hands, he has been wearing it.

The small stone tablet dangled in front of his chest, and he subconsciously reached out to grab it.I accidentally wiped my finger along the sharp edge of the knife, and blood flowed out in an instant, staining the palm and the pendant red.

As soon as Feng Tiance felt the pain, he threw the hatchet under conditioned reflex, and suddenly his world spun, and his consciousness appeared in a trance for a short time.

When I woke up again, I found that I was no longer in the yard at home, but in a completely strange place.

This is a confined space, about the size of two standard football fields, and the terrain is relatively flat with little ups and downs.

In the very center, there is a small well, two meters square.The depth of the well is less than half a meter, and there is clear water in the well, which is crystal clear.

Not far from the well was a small sapling, about half a person's height and the thickness of an adult's arm, with a dozen or so leaves sparsely growing on it.

Other than that, the space is silent, there are no animals including insects, and there are only yellow fields everywhere.

The surrounding area and the top of the space are covered with steaming fog, which is so foggy that the line of sight cannot penetrate.

Feng Tiance tried to leave this space, but every time he reached the edge of the fog, he couldn't move anymore, as if he had encountered an invisible wall, no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't get out.

In desperation, he went back to the small well, out of breath and just wanted to drink water.

"Is this water drinkable?"

There was fire in his throat, he hesitated for a moment, then bent down recklessly, took a handful of water from the well and took a sip.

There was no peculiar smell at the entrance of the well water, but it was sweet and clear. He couldn't help but continued to drink a few more sips.

"readily."

Feng Tiance sat down on the ground, as if all the fatigue on his body disappeared.

"Why did I appear in this strange place? Could it be because of it?"

Suddenly, Feng Tiance thought of the pendant on his chest.He hurriedly lowered his head to see that the plaque carved from an unknown stone was still hanging around his neck, but the blood stained before was gone.

"Hey, Shi Pai, Shi Pai, I have seen your magic. Now I just want to go back to my own yard, do you know?"

Touching the pendant, Feng Tiance complained quietly.

As soon as the words fell, his eyes darkened, and he felt that his body had passed through a viscous liquid-like diaphragm.

When the light came back, he returned to the well in his yard.

This was an experience that he had never had before. It was both novel and exciting. Feng Tiance carefully went back to the house and closed the door. After trying a few more times, he was able to enter and exit this space freely.

He found that before entering the space, he thought of the sapling or the well, and he would appear exactly where he wanted to go after he entered.The premise is that he has been to this position before, but it is impossible to go to a place where he has not been.

Things from the outside can also be brought into the space, provided they can be hugged and resisted.

And after coming out of the space, it must be the place where I went in before, and it is useless to think about it!
Feng Tiance felt a little regretful, otherwise he could use the space as a bridge to achieve a large-scale "teleportation".

"Hey, it really is a lack of human heart! Feng Tiance, you have such a magical space, so be content!"

Feng Tiance secretly mocked himself, found a piece of Band-Aid from his backpack to cover the wound on his finger, and walked out of the room to continue working in the yard.

There are too many people in the daytime, so we should wait until night to talk about space matters.

The secrets of space can be explored slowly, but the embarrassing life will continue, for example, what to eat tonight?How do you sleep at night?
After clearing the weeds in the yard and cleaning the well, Feng Tiance went on to clean several houses.

He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was already 03:30 in the afternoon, so he locked the door and planned to go to Qilipu to buy something.
