The stars in the sky flashed like a pair of cold eyes looking down at the earth.
The night wind passed through the cliff, making a whining sound. The river rushes endlessly, like a young man who never knows how to get tired.
The two of them melted into each other and smiled at each other. For a moment, they stared at each other as if they were old friends for many years. Xiao Yunfan said: "Miss, can you tell me your name now?"
Shui Hanyan looked at him with big eyes and said with a smile: "You are not afraid that you will die without knowing the name of your benefactor. You are inevitably a little regretful!"
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "Exactly, Mr. Xiao has always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. If others respect me a foot, I should return a foot to others. Repaying the kindness of a drop of water with a spring of water is what a man does!" Shui Yan said slowly. : "If a man like you dies, how will you repay me?"
Xiao Yunfan was startled and thought to himself: Yes, if I die, I won't be able to repay others' kindness. With this in mind, he said casually: "Xiao is born to be annoying. The Lord of Hell will probably not accept me! Even if he wants to accept me, he must wait for me to repay my kindness, otherwise I will do it reluctantly." Those who died unjustly will inevitably cause chaos in the underworld, and it will not end well for everyone at any time."
Shui Hanyan giggled and said, "What you said is strange, as if even the King of Hell is afraid of you." Xiao Yunfan suddenly said with a gloomy face, "I am a bad person, are you afraid?" Shui Hanyan twisted his face. He said to one side: "Afraid! This girl is scared to death!"
The two talked for a few more words. Shui Hanyan felt a little sleepy, stretched out his hand and yawned. Xiao Yunfan said: "Girl, since you are sleepy, go to the cave to have a good rest!" Shui Hanyan shook his head and said: "It's better for you to go! You are injured. If the evil wind blows and the wound worsens, I will save it at that time. Can’t help you.”
Xiao Yunfan stood up and said, "Okay!" As he said that, he suddenly walked behind Shui Hanyan and touched her acupuncture point. Shui Hanyan's face changed slightly and she said, "What are you going to do?" Xiao Yunfan didn't answer, picked her up and walked into the cave...
Early the next morning, Xiao Yunfan inspected the surroundings. The cliff on the opposite side is too high to climb, and only the river in front of us is rushing. He figured in his mind: If he wanted to leave this place, he could only take the water route. But there are no big trees around, so how can we make a raft?
At this time, Shui Hanyan walked out of the cave, holding a finished fruit core in his hand, and threw it at the back of Xiao Yunfan's head. Xiao Yunfan felt pain in the back of his head. When he turned around and saw Shui Hanyan smiling triumphantly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Girl, are you awake and so angry so early in the morning?"
Shui Hanyan said: "Hmph! Who told you to take advantage of my unpreparedness and attack me last night!" Xiao Yunfan touched his chin and said: "Okay! I was wrong, good girl. Now that we are leaving this place, can you Have an idea?" Shui Hanyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Even if I have an idea, I won't tell you." Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "Okay. Since the girl has an idea and won't tell you, then we have to wait here to die. Anyway, I'm better than You die first, but you don’t have to be afraid, I will just act as a ghost to protect you.”
Shui Hanyan stamped his feet and said: "You..." Xiao Yunfan said seriously: "Girl, have you ever thought about why there is such a cave here?" Shui Hanyan blinked and said: "You mean this cave is not natural, but Someone dug it." Xiao Yunfan said: "Yes, since someone has lived here before, how did this person leave?" Shui Hanyan said: "This person probably left by boat. There are no big trees around here. We have no way to build a ship."
Xiao Yunfan walked to the entrance of the cave and said, "Can you lend me your night pearl, girl?" Shui Hanyan took out the pearl from his arms and threw it towards Xiao Yunfan, and Xiao Yunfan reached out to catch the pearl. He first scanned the cave and found nothing suspicious. He walked to the stone bed and leaned over to check. There was a raised chi-patterned stone button in the corner of the stone bed. He stretched out his hand and pulled it to the left, only to hear a clicking sound. A five-foot-sized hole appeared on the roof of the cave. There was a crash, and a dark iron chain hung from the hole and swung from side to side.
Shui Hanyan asked curiously: "How can there be a cave entrance here?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Maybe someone did something here back then. Miss, please wait here while Xiao goes up to check it out."
As he spoke, he pulled off a piece of cloth from his clothes and wrapped it around his hand, then held the chain and climbed up. With the brilliance of the pearl, the situation inside the cave can be seen clearly. There are several small holes of different sizes drilled into the cave wall, which are just right for placing your feet. Xiao Yunfan worked hard, and in a short time he had climbed to the top, and there was another cave on the stone wall on his side.
The cave was extremely narrow, so he had to kneel down and crawl forward. After climbing for a while, the road ahead was blocked again. He reached out and pressed forward, and the stone wall in front of him seemed to be loose. He exerted force again and pushed away the blocking stone.
In front of him is a huge stone chamber. He emerged from the cave and came to the stone chamber. There is a coffin in the center of the stone chamber, surrounded by stone railings. There were words carved on the stone wall on the left. Xiao Yunfan came closer to take a closer look and blew away the dust covering the words. I saw it written above:
Since ancient times, kings’ intentions are unpredictable and life’s circumstances are inherently unpredictable.
Fame and wealth are like shadows in dreams, so why not bury your bones in the green mountains?
Xiao Yunfan secretly thought: The tone of this poem sounds like it was written by a man who had been in officialdom for a long time. I think this man must have been abandoned by the king and ended his life here in despair.
People often say: Learn civil and martial arts, and your goods will be in the emperor's family. I think those who leave their names in history will probably follow the emperor's wishes. It's a pity that I, Xiao Yunfan, won't be an official, and the emperor can't control me, so everyone can be comfortable.
This place is at least five or six feet away from the underground cave. How can we transport this big coffin up?
While he was thinking, his palm accidentally touched a stone button. A stone door opened on the right side of the stone room, and he walked in. Inside were six wooden bookshelves filled with books. He took a book from the bookshelf and blew the dust off the cover. As soon as he opened it, a gold leaf fell from the book. Xiao Yunfan picked it up and looked at it, and said happily: "It is actually gold leaves. No wonder people often say, 'There is a house of gold in a book, and there is a beauty like jade in a book.'" He opened a few more books and got a lot of gold leaves.
Shui Hanyan waited below for a long time without seeing Xiao Yunfan come down, and thought to himself: Could it be that this stinky thief encountered some trouble?
While he was hesitating, he saw Xiao Yunfan sliding down from the chain carrying a baggage. Shui Hanyan said happily: "What did you find up there?" Xiao Yunfan patted the dust on his body and said: "I didn't expect that the top of the cave was a tomb."
Shui Hanyan asked curiously: "You said someone built a tomb on the top of this cave?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Yes, I also found a few clothes from this cave. Fortunately, these clothes were not eaten by insects. You If you don’t dislike it, you can change it.”
Shui Hanyan smelled the stinky clothes on his body, looked at Xiao Yunfan and said: "You are really a thief who is hard to change, and you even steal the clothes of dead people. I don't want to change them!" Xiao Yunfan said: "You are Disciples from famous and upright families, your sect rules must be very strict. If you don't change, I will have to change." As he was about to take off his clothes, Shui Hanyan hurriedly walked out of the cave and shouted: "You... rogue!"
After a while, Xiao Yunfan walked out of the cave and said: "Girl, we can leave here tomorrow!" Shui Hanyan said happily: "So you have come up with a solution?" Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "Yes, let's prepare some dry food now. We can leave tomorrow.”
After that, Xiao Yunfan walked towards the river, jumped into the river with a splash. Shui Hanyan ran over and said, "Hey! What are you doing?" Xiao Yunfan said, "Catching fish, of course! Do you have to eat that fruit along the way?" With that, he sank into the river embankment.
After a while, he caught one and threw it ashore. I caught more than a dozen fish in a row before I was willing to go ashore. Shui Hanyan saw his face splashed with water, handed him a handkerchief and said, "No, here you go!" Xiao Yunfan reached out and took the brocade handkerchief and said, "Thank you." Shui Hanyan fiddled with the corners of his clothes with a shy expression. . Xiao Yunfan wiped the water droplets on his face casually and said, "I'm sorry that your handkerchief was stained by me!"
Then Xiao Yunfan took out his dagger, selected a few of the fish, removed their internal organs, and impaled them on a wooden branch. A fire was lit and the fish was grilled. Shui Hanyan said: "You caught so many fish at once, have you finished eating them?" Xiao Yunfan turned the wooden branch in his hand and said: "Of course we can't finish them all in one breath, but if we want to survive, we must rely on these fish."
Shui Hanyan blinked and said, "You just said that you have a way to leave this place. What is it?" Xiao Yunfan said, "The mountain people have their own tricks, but I can't tell you now." Shui Hanyan hummed. He made a sound and said: "If you don't say it, don't say it. I don't care about it." Xiao Yunfan said: "What is your name? You call me a stinky thief. Could it be that I also call you a female stinky thief?"
Shui said with smoke, "Girl, I can call you a stinky thief, but you can't call me a stinky thief."
Xiao Yunfan wondered: "It doesn't make sense! Why can you call me a thief, but I can't call you?" Shui Hanyan said sarcastically: "If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Think about it, if you steal other people's clothes, what are you other than a stinky thief?" ?" Xiao Yunfan said with a smile: "That senior has passed away. I borrowed his things, not stole them. At worst, I will burn more gold ingots for him during the Qingming Festival next year."
After a while, a faint aroma reached the bottom of their noses, and both of them felt greedy. However, the smoke in the water made the woman soft-skinned after all. Xiao Yunfan was also considerate. He handed the wooden fork to Shui Hanyan and said with a smile: "Although I am smelly, the fish I grill is fragrant. Please try it, girl." Shui Hanyan looked at it. He took the fish with one glance and thought: Master, they all regard this person as a treacherous person, but I have been with him for the past two days. Although this person has a bit of a nasty mouth, he has never done anything abominable.
Master and others often say: Nine out of ten words a man says are false. It was my first time meeting this person, but I firmly believed in what he said. Could it be...
Thinking about her daughter's family, she couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting hot. She didn't even make a sound when the fish reached her mouth. She burned her mouth and kept shouting: Ouch! Xiao Yunfan only thought that she was very hungry. After all, women had a thin face and were not easy to make fun of. He quickly said softly: "Is it okay?" Shui Hanyan quickly turned his back, not daring to look at Xiao Yunfan, and hesitantly said: "No...it's okay."
While Xiao Yunfan was grilling the fish, he secretly wanted to find something to say to distract from the matter, and then said: "I was adopted by my master since I was a child and grew up in Ziyu Mountain. We also have many products in Ziyu Mountain. At that time, after I finished my homework every day, I would Playing alone in the mountains. Catching fish and shrimps, digging out bird's nests, and chasing rabbits is very interesting.
I didn’t have many playmates. Later, my master was afraid that I would be lonely and got two dogs. One is called Dahei and the other is called Erhuang. These two little guys were just a little bigger when they were brought back by the master. Now they are both majestic and majestic. Every time I go, these two follow me everywhere, and they are very obedient. If you have the chance, come and visit us at Ziyu Mountain. I'll take you to meet them. "
Shui Hanyan turned around and said with a smile: "Okay! I will definitely go if I have the chance. In our Zhongnan Mountain Xuannv Palace, Master allows us to raise some small animals. My senior sister and I have raised many rabbits, and Pigeons. However, the fourth senior sister is greedy. Whenever she gets into trouble with me, she always threatens to eat my rabbits. I even dream and talk several times in my sleep because I am afraid that she will eat the rabbits. From then on, she always teases me about it. I."
Xiao Yunfan blew the flames and said, "That's good. You have been together with many sisters since you were young. It must be very lively when there are many people." Shui Hanyan tore a piece of fish meat, put it in his mouth, and said, "Yes! Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival It was the most lively. At that time, the sisters were sitting together, with the table covered with fresh vegetables, fruits, snacks and tea. It was very interesting for everyone to guess lantern riddles and tell jokes together. I remember one time, Sister Jiang came up with a lantern riddle. I thought I haven’t guessed it for a long time, I’ll tell you, guess what?”
Xiao Yunfan saw that she was very interested and said, "Okay! Although I don't read much, I can still read a few words. Can you tell me?"
Shui Yan said: "Half is hairy and half is shiny, half is smelly and half is fragrant. Half is eating grass from the mountains, and half is still hiding in the water. Guess a word." Xiao Yunfan thought for a while and said: "This is very easy. It's the word 'fresh'." Shui Hanyan praised: "You are very smart, so let me tell you one more thing: when drawing, it is round, when writing, it is square, winter is short, and summer is long."
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "This is easier, isn't it just the word "日"? Then I will also tell you a riddle, a white snake crossing the river, a red sun above its head, a green dragon hanging on the wall, covered with thousands of gold stars. Guess two things. .”
Shui Hanyan blinked and thought for a moment. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "The phrase "White Snake Crossing the River" refers to the oil lamp, and the phrase "Qinglong Hanging on the Wall" refers to the weighing rod."
Xiao Yunfan nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the little girl is quite smart! But I still have a difficult problem here. Master tested me a long time ago. Let me test you now!"
It is said that a guest came to a restaurant. The guest asked the shopkeeper for a drink. He only wanted four ounces of wine, and he didn't want any more. If he couldn't pour out four ounces of wine, then he would destroy the restaurant's sign. It just so happened that there was only eight taels of wine left in the wine jar that day, and the shopkeeper only had a five-liang wine bucket and a three-liang wine bucket at hand. Let me ask you how to get four taels of wine for this guest? "
Shui Hanyan placed the fish on a leaf, reached out and picked up a stick and made signs on the ground. After a long time, she still couldn't figure out the answer. The two beautiful eyebrows frowned together, Xiao Yunfan glanced at her, placed the grilled fish on a big leaf, and then grilled new ones.
