The little Taoist stepped back a few steps. Then he jumped up as light as a swallow. He was seven or eight feet tall. He was ready to climb over the wall with one hand. He thought that the tiles above were unstable. His hand slipped and almost fell down.

Fortunately, he followed the body method well enough. He lifted his palm slightly to resolve the crisis and fell into the temple smoothly.

When he looked around, he found that this was a vegetable garden. A row of cucumbers were planted in front. The cucumbers' vines were supported by bamboo poles and stood very high, just blocking his figure.

The little Taoist took a breath. When he calmed down and saw the fresh cucumber sliding on the bamboo pole, the little Taoist swallowed his saliva.

He hasn't eaten any serious vegetables from snacks and coarse grains. There is also a vegetable garden in the Taoist temple, but the whole body white radish planted inside is also a little sweet when eaten raw, but his chest hurts every time he eats it.

Those white radishes will eventually be made into pickles and put in a large jar in the kitchen. A large bar of dried radish is the food he and his master usually eat.

At this time, he saw a large green vegetable garden for the first time.

The saliva on the corner of his mouth was about to flow out. Unconsciously, he stretched his hand to an emerald cucumber.

But before his hand touched the cucumber, a small stone hit the back of his hand accurately.

The little Taoist quickly put away his just stretched out hand, regardless of the tingling from the back of his hand, hurriedly glanced around, trying to find the person who hit him with a stone.

"Hey, I'm here!" A naughty voice came from behind him.

Looking up, a little girl in red linen sitting on the dilapidated wall was laughing at him. That smile made the little Taoist stay in place and dare not move.

"What are you looking at? Look again. Be careful. I've dug your double sun!" The little girl in red put away her smiling face and showed a ferocious look.

The little Taoist was really frightened and sat down on the ground.

Seeing the little Taoist who was startled by her, the girl in red couldn't hold her face anymore and smiled.

She jumped down from the wall and walked slowly to the little Taoist. Her eyes were like crescent moon when she pinched her waist and smiled.

"What's your name!"

"Li Yushan!"

As soon as they ask and answer, they are acquainted.

I learned from Li Yushan, a Taoist in the Middle School of niangkou that she is from the temple and this vegetable garden is hers.

After seeing him, the girl in red seemed to have endless words. It was originally to inquire about the secrets of the temple. As a result, Li Yushan somehow forgot his purpose and talked with the girl in red for a long time.

This meeting is like fate!

It was not until it was getting dark that Li Yushan remembered that he should go.

He just wanted to go. He always wanted to ask the other party's name, but after talking for so long, he still didn't dare to ask.

It's a chat between the two. In fact, the girl in red is always talking. He nods or talks about some Taoist things. However, whenever he talks about Taoist things, the girl in red will stare at her eyes. A pair of crescent shaped eyes turn into stars and yearn very much.

"Alas, I wish I were in your master's Taoist temple. I can go out to play every day. My father never lets me leave this vegetable garden and forbids others to play with me. I'm bored to death!"

Looking at the sad girl in red, Li Yushan didn't know how to comfort her. After holding it for a long time, he finally said, "can I come to you later?"

The girl in red turned her eyes into crescent again. She nodded hard and said excitedly, "of course!"

Little Taoist Li Yushan bowed his head and blushed.

When he left, the girl in red picked two cucumbers for him.

"You and your master are one by one. Remember to come and play with me!"

The girl carelessly stuffed two fresh cucumbers into Li Yushan.

He was a teenager. When he saw the cucumber, he swallowed his saliva again. What he just wanted to say was swallowed back. Finally, he could only nod and plan to ask again next time. However, when he just turned his head and was ready to leave, the girl stopped him.

"By the way, Li Yushan." The girl in red stopped the little Taoist and said dejectedly, "I don't have a name, but you can call me Hongniang in the future!"

Then he turned and left. Looking at the disappearing figure, Li Yushan smiled!

After returning to the Taoist temple, the little Taoist gave both cucumbers to the master.

"Master!"

The old Taoist stared at Li Yushan and shook his head.

"I'm not hungry. Take it out!"

Li Yushan looked happy and went back to his house with a cucumber.

In the following days, he would go to the vegetable garden of the temple every few days to play with Hongniang. They were gradually not satisfied with chatting and catching butterflies. From Li Yushan's mouth, she knew the prosperous town at the foot of the mountain and the beautiful scenery of the back mountain valley.

She yearned for these places very much, but she never had a chance to go.

Until one day, Li Yushan came up with an idea.

It snowed heavily. They piled up a snowman. Then the matchmaker put her coat on the snowman and stepped on the little Taoist's shoulder to turn out of the courtyard wall.

They walked around the mountain path, took the back mountain path, played all the way, saw the snow in the valley, went down the mountain to the town, looked at the crystal clear ice sugar gourd, and both swallowed their saliva.

Looking at Hongniang's greedy appearance, the little Taoist secretly vowed to make money to buy ice sugar gourd for Hongniang in the future.

She took Hongniang to see a circle of new things in the market. They were lucky to leave. Li Yushan firmly remembered everything Hongniang was interested in.

When he met the matchmaker, he moved his heart.

At this time, it moved the common heart to go down the mountain together.

After sending Hongniang back, Li Yushan stepped on the thick snow and returned to the Taoist temple step by step. He lost his soul all the way, but he didn't find many footprints in the snow.

When he returned to the Taoist temple, he found that the old Taoist temple had become more broken.

The wooden door was smashed, the only square table in the yard became two halves, and the only utensil in the kitchen, the jar for dried radish, was smashed.

Without knowing why, the little Taoist rushed into the house and shouted, "master!"

"Yushan!" The old Taoist priest with bags all over his forehead sat on the futon and stopped the anxious little Taoist priest.

"Master, what's the matter with you!" Li Yushan hurried forward to help the old Taoist who wanted to get up.

"It's all right. You don't have to help me. Now you just need to tell me whether you plan to stay here or follow me out of here." The old Taoist stared at the young Taoist, and they were so deadlocked here.

Li Yushan avoided his eyes, stepped back and lowered his head. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. He never thought that the master would take him away, nor did he want to leave here and leave the valley of death.
