I gave Huang Yan full responsibility for the defense of Bajie Cave and the two large ships, and told him that if he had the ability, he would go to Niba Island to light a fire and keep it alive. Maybe Tian Wang would come back when.
We started from the mountains behind Bajie Cave and slowly climbed up
The way to determine whether there are people in a place is actually very simple
"What is it?" Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing asked. Xiaoyue was wearing a set of cyan tights, and Jiang Wanqing was beige. They had bows and arrows on their bodies, and their quivers were filled with iron arrows, one after the other.
We split the thorns in front of us and walked forward
"Just to see if there is a road on the ground," I said
"It's true. I don't think there is anyone here now." Jiang Wanqing turned around and looked at the unclear path we opened. Now it is only in its prototype, and it is hidden in the weeds a little further away. "But now
There is a way”
"If you don't paint my sister with you, why do you have to come out?" I asked them.
Xiaoyue said, "I don't know if you can see it, but after Tian Wang and the others left, Sister Hua and the old lady were also very anxious, but they were restrained and didn't show it."
Jiang Wanqing also said, "We are not following you just for fun. We also want to help you and see if we can find King Tian. Do you think King Tian will be on this island?"
You won't know until you walk around the island whether it's true or not. In fact, General Su, who later set out to find King Tian, may still be searching blindly now, but his probability of hitting King Tian is slightly higher.
The figures of these two people are very well-proportioned, especially under the tight clothes, they look even more slim and toned. Xiaoyue is a little fatter. On their faces, they have the kind and friendly expressions of the Central Plains people, and they are very focused.
While doing what they were doing, they all tied up their long hair behind their heads in unison, and sweat appeared on their faces.
The two of them carried bows and arrows and never took them off along the way. The jungle was a bit oppressive and airtight, so Xiaoyue took off her shirt while walking.
Her arms were round and there were no muscles visible. She put her clothes on her shoulders. I warned her, "If you wear such little clothes, be careful of mosquitoes biting you."
She didn't take it seriously, which influenced Wanqing to imitate her behavior. The two people's round shoulders were dangling in front of me, making me distracted every once in a while.
At noon, a heavy rain fell on the island. We took shelter under a big tree. There was lightning and thunder outside, and the heavy rain fell on the dense canopy of trees that could not see the sky, but we could not feel it in the jungle.
, but the light dimmed instantly, as if in the evening, bean-sized water droplets occasionally penetrated from the branches and leaves, rolled down, and hit the ground. Wet spots the size of copper coins appeared on the ground.
"It's so scary!" After the thunder, Jiang Wanqing hid behind me and said.
The rain outside stopped, but the rain inside just started. When we continued to move down below, we encountered such an attack.
Sometimes when I use my sword to cut down the wild vines entangled on the way, the big tree next to me will be shaken, and the water droplets on the tree will suddenly fall down, drenching us and making Jiang Wanqing and Xiaoyue scream.
Jump away with your feet up
In order to avoid getting wet for no reason, the three of us arrived at a valley at dusk. There was a fruit forest there with unnamed wild fruits on the trees. I said to Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing, "Let's
I'll try it first." I ran to the tree, easily wrenched one from the tree, wiped it on my body and put it in my mouth.
Jiang Wanqing stopped her and said, "Brother, wait a minute, I think there is something wrong with these fruits." She said it seriously, and I could see that she had thought deeply before saying this. I was startled by her words and stopped quickly, but
Still holding the fruit to his lips
"How to say?"
"Brother, this is what I think. My father told me a story before, saying that if a tree is full of fruits but no one has touched it, then there must be something wrong with the fruits on the tree. So, I think
You'd better be slower, you have to prove that they are non-toxic before you can eat them."
"Oh...where are the people here?" Before Xiaoyue and I could react, Jiang Wanqing said this again
Xiaoyue said, "So what if it's poisonous. You can't just look at bags under your eyes and be afraid to eat when there are so many tempting fruits. There are still us anyway. If your brother is poisoned, we won't leave you and go back alone."
"Well, even if I carry you, I will carry you back," Jiang Wanqing said
I carefully took the first bite and narrowed my eyes.
"How about it, brother, if it doesn't work, just spit it out quickly," Jiang Wanqing said nervously
"Ah - it's simply wonderful, sour and sweet at the same time."
"Really? Then I'll try it too." Jiang Wanqing said and reached out on the tree.
"Wait, sister, sweetness doesn't mean it's not poisonous. Just wait." I stopped her.
For this kind of thing, I have to try it myself first. When I feel fine later, I must let them eat enough.
I looked around, and in the gap between the wild fruit trees, I seemed to find a building. I waved to two people, and they dropped the fruit and looked in the direction of my finger.
"Where is it?" Jiang Wanqing said in a thin voice. I said to them, "We are going to see someone now. You guys," I pointed to their bare upper bodies, "shouldn't you pay attention to your appearance?"
"Yes, yes, yes," they said, quickly getting dressed, with a little nervousness on their faces, "How come some people are more scared than no one else?" Jiang Wanqing said
We pushed aside the branches blocking our eyes and found two buildings on the hillside, one tall and one short, adjacent to each other. From our side, we had to look up slightly to see its large appearance.
Under the cover of a large area of messy casuarinas, we saw the door of the building. The door faced west. The upper half of the wooden door was rotten. The lower part of the door had been soaked by years of rain.
A small piece of gray stone wall was exposed next to the door. Most of the stone wall was covered with ivy growing from the root of the wall. The ivy climbed up from the root of the wall and covered the roof. We couldn't see the house at all.
What's the arrangement on top?
We quietly walked towards it without seeing any sign of anyone. When we were about ten steps away from the two houses, we discovered a section of fence hidden under the weeds. It was made of bamboo strips with sharpened ends.
Full of morning glories, pink and purple
The fence gate is also made of bamboo. It is half buried in the soil. This is the soil washed down from the hillside during heavy rains. It is very soft when I step on it. When I lift the fence gate, it falls off by itself. I move it to the side.
He threw it away and walked in with two people.
Obviously this is a house that has not been inhabited for a long time, but we are still very excited to finally see traces of people.
There was a copper lock on the door, which was already covered with a ball of cotton-like green patina. I took out an iron arrow from the quiver and inserted it into the door knocker. With a move of my wrist, the ball of green patina fell to the ground.
underground
I still recognized the style of the copper lock. It looked familiar. I picked it up from the ground and brushed off the green rust on it.
"Look, do you recognize me?"
"Oh my god, why do I feel like we have met a fellow countryman?" Xiaoyue said.
"Sister, I think we should say this. When we arrived at my fellow villager's home, you don't have to ask if he is there. He is definitely not here now," Jiang Wanqing said one word at a time.
"Why are you so polite when you arrive at a fellow villager's house?" As I said that, I stretched out my hand to push the door open, but before I could touch it, the door fell off and became like this.
Two yellow shadows suddenly jumped out from the dilapidated doorway. They were extremely fast and passed between Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing.
Jiang Wanqing said "Oh my God" with a cry in her voice. Xiaoyue covered her chest with her hands, her face turned pale, and when she turned around to look, she could no longer see any trace of their feet.
"Brother, what is it? It scared me to death," Jiang Wanqing said
"Maybe the Java Sea weasel is nothing to be afraid of." I said as I walked in.
When I walked in, I discovered that it turned out to be a tall, spacious house with a solid structure. The wooden doors inside were intact and every door was open.
The ground is also very clean. However, when you enter the door, there is a layer of loose soil near the threshold. That is the rest of the soil that blows in from the outside when the wind blows. There is almost no need to clean it deliberately.
We came to a hall, which was extremely spacious. If it weren't for the dense wild vines outside the window, the room would have been very bright. In the middle of the hall was a stone staircase, which turned a corner in the air and turned to the roof. There was a dim
As the light fell, I climbed up the stone steps gently. The two of them were waiting for me below. They opened up the ivy covering the skylight. A few stars shone in and it was already dark, but none of us noticed.
There is nothing else in the hall except a stone table, two stone stools, and two crude stone bowls. We saw a stone stove in another Hong Kong house with a clay pot sitting on it.
, open the lid, there is still half a pot of water inside
On the left are several houses that look smaller from the outside. In fact, the two houses are connected inside. When you go in, you can see the bedroom. It is a large stone slab with small stones underneath. It is as big as a double bed and has two sets.
The bedding looked unusable, and on the pillows above, several plants grew, and the grains in the pillow cores sprouted due to moisture.
I was even more convinced that the people here were our fellow villagers. Later, several scrolls of bamboo slips dug out by Jiang Wanqing under the slate bed made me even more convinced of my judgment.
The bamboo slips were rotten and the leather ropes connecting them were broken. Once opened, the bamboo slips were scattered one by one, and the order was all messed up.
I picked up one of the pieces, and there were small twist-like seal characters on it. Needless to say, it looked like a book from heaven.
Without stopping, we climbed up to the roof again, chopped off the intricate entangled wild vines with our swords, and pushed them under the house. Taking advantage of the darkness, Jiang Wanqing pointed to the orchard and said:
"I'm sure, brother, the fruit you just ate is not poisonous."
