You are back

Chapter 17 Ruins
Li Yan's heart was beating violently, Chen Yanfeng couldn't hear it clearly, but she could hear it clearly, the young lady's boat, a three-story building boat!The big lady who owns a three-story ship!

Such a young lady was detained by such a Pei family in a place like Duoyunjian...

Li Yan only felt that his brain was not enough.

Abandoning the boat and getting into the cart, this time it was a real mule cart with people on it. Li Yan and Yushu, who had been in a trance, got into the cart, stretched out their hands and lifted all the curtains on all sides, stretched out their heads, and looked at the scenery outside.

Along the way from Chaisang to Yuzhang City, villages were connected to villages, and there were no human settlements. This was the most affluent and prosperous place that they could see along the way.

A pastoral atmosphere of wealth and joy hits the face, making people feel happy just looking at it.

"We're almost there, tell me, where is your home? I have to send you to the door." Chen Yanfeng's eyes were bright, and the aura of gossip was shaking off his whole body.

"Let me tell you, as for the things you did... I didn't say that you couldn't do that well. I never talk about those rules and regulations, but it's really embarrassing. Can your family not be punished at all? Certainly not, if the punishment is heavy, I can help you talk."

Chen Yanfeng's last words were sincere. After spending these days together, he now really regards Li Yan as a friend.

"No need." Li Yan rejected him concisely. In her intuition, she always felt that the problem she was about to face was not how to get Chen Yanfeng to help her, but how to make Chen Yanfeng not see...

There are more and more pedestrians on the road, and in the distance, the sky is covered by greenery.

Yushu screamed and ran away. Before she could cry out, Li Yan grabbed her and glared at her sternly. Yushu pointed forward and opened his mouth. Li Yan slapped Yushu's hand.

Chen Yanfeng looked at Li Yan and Yushu, and laughed loudly, "Are you scared? That is the most proud camphor tree in Yuzhang. I was shocked when I saw it for the first time, it's too big."

"Calm down!" Li Yan pressed hard on Yushu's shoulder and ordered in a low voice.

"Yes." Yushu's voice choked up, "It's us..."

"Let's talk later." Li Yan intercepted Yushu's words, and squinted at the huge camphor tree that was getting closer.

The car stopped seven or eight steps away from the shadow of the camphor tree, and Chen Yanfeng motioned to Li Yan, who was stunned, and Yushu, who had red eyes, "Come down, walk over and have a look, even though this kind of camphor tree is a tree, you should respect it." .”

Li Yan jumped out of the car, Yushu followed closely behind, Chen Yanfeng walked into the thick shade of the camphor tree, the shade was dotted with food stalls, every one of them was doing well, the fragrance was overflowing under the tree, and people laughed noisy.

Chen Yanfeng didn't seem to see those food stalls and diners, Li Yan was not in the mood to look more, Yushu was in a trance, and only the camphor tree was in his eyes.

The three of them walked through the food stalls and diners and headed straight for the huge and awe-inspiring camphor tree in the middle.

After a few dozen steps, the roots of the camphor tree burst out, making it difficult for people to move forward. Li Yan circled half a circle around the camphor tree, which even a dozen or twenty people holding hands might not be able to get around, and was dumbfounded.

On this side of the camphor tree, the canopy is scorched and the underside of the tree is barren. Compared with the other half which is full of vitality, it vividly shows what is half heaven and half hell.

"How could this be?" Li Yan cried out.

"Oh! Yes." Chen Yanfeng walked to Li Yan and looked up at the scorched tree crown with her. "This is the first time I saw it, and I was more shocked than you. Look, life and death are on the same tree. ."

"How could this happen?" Li Yan interrupted Chen Yanfeng's sigh.

"I heard it was on fire. There used to be a large house there... What happened to your girl?" Chen Yanfeng pointed to a large piece of ruins in front of the dead tree. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Yushu staggering towards the ruins.

"Yushu!" Li Yan ran over with her skirt in hand.

"Miss, here...here..." Yushu stumbled and knelt on the ground, crying loudly, "Miss...Miss..."

"Don't cry, get up." Li Yan knew that this must be the Li family that Yushu said, and tried to drag Yushu up, but his legs softened, and he sat on the ground and couldn't get up. The ruins suddenly wanted to cry.

"You girl..." Chen Yanfeng squatted beside Li Yan, looked at Yushu, and then at Li Yan who was not crying, but tears kept flowing, "You...you..." Chen Yanfeng's expression changed, " This is your home?"

Li Yan nodded, not sure why, but she knew this was the home Yushu wanted to take her back to.

"Help me up." Li Yan grabbed Chen Yanfeng's hand, Chen Yanfeng stood up, and pulled Li Yan up, Li Yan bent down, and pulled up Yushu.

"I want to go in and have a look, don't come in, just wait here." Li Yan shook off Chen Yanfeng, his feet were a little soft, and he approached the ruins step by step, standing between two big rocks for a moment, passing through the big rocks , go around a mound and go in.

Yushu hurriedly followed, Chen Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, then sat down on the spot, looking at the ruins, and Li Yan who appeared and disappeared in the ruins.

Li Yan seemed to be very familiar with the ruins. He walked very quickly between the jagged rocks, turned left and right, and rushed to the middle of the ruins in one breath, passing through a circle of tall white stones, and came to a clean green area. In front of the brick clearing, in the middle of the blue brick clearing, a round circle is covered with slender and flexible thatch, and when a gust of wind blows, the thatch bows down towards Li Yan, as if bowing to salute.

Li Yan stood blankly, looking in a daze. She had been to this place before... No, she had dreamed about it. She didn't know how many times she had dreamed about it since she was a child. However, this place in her dream was not like this. Here in the dream, there are green tiles and pink walls, red pillars and green eaves, flourishing flowers and trees, and people’s laughter and laughter come from afar...

"This is the eldest lady's yard." Yushu passed Li Yan from behind and walked to the patch of thatch that was particularly green among the dead rocks. He squatted down and brushed the thatch with his hand. "There is a camphor tree here. It's round. Yes, the eldest lady likes this place the most. She often sits here, holding a book and reading for a long time..."

Li Yan took two steps back and sat down on a white stone.

Yes, there is a camphor tree, round, the wind blows, the leaves are rustling, her skirt is flying in the wind, the flowers are fragrant, the sky is clean...

Yushu squatted by the thatch and cried softly, while Li Yan sat on the stone with his head lowered in a daze.

The sun was setting to the west, and the setting sun was like blood. Li Yan looked up at the bright red sunset, stood up suddenly, walked to the circle of thatch, stretched out his hand to pick up a thatch, and then another, one after another, Throw it behind you...
