Ren Hailuan was already hungry and thirsty, so she picked up a gourd and scooped out a ladle of cold water and drank it. She felt that it was sweet and delicious, secreting into her heart and spleen. After Ren Hailuan drank enough, he immediately scooped up another ladle of water and went directly to the room where Tang Zhong was lying.
Although she couldn't find food for the time being, luckily she found water, so Ren Hailuan immediately scooped it up for Tang Zhong. Tang Zhong was in a trance, but he still kept asking for water. Ren Hailuan hurriedly brought the water over, and then slowly fed Tang Zhong to drink. Tang Zhong drank a few sips in confusion, and finally slowly regained his composure, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep again.
Ren Hailuan has never been alone in the world, nor does he have the experience to stand alone and handle major issues by himself. She was already young, and there were many elders in Xiaoyao Sect, and they all spoiled and doted on her. Now she was suddenly in trouble alone and felt a little overwhelmed.
Although Tang Zhong is still with her now, Tang Zhong has become a "mud Buddha crossing the river and cannot save himself". Instead, he still needs her care, which suddenly increases the pressure on Ren Hailuan.
If she were alone, she might give up on herself because she felt she had no ability to save herself. But there was Tang Zhong beside her, but she couldn't ignore him.
A fragile person will truly mature only when she faces big things alone and can handle some things independently.
It is said that the children of the poor become masters early. In fact, this is because most of the children of the poor have begun to handle many things independently at a very young age. Because we have experienced more, we mature earlier.
Many times, when we ourselves despair, we give up easily. But when we find that there are others who need us in desperate times, we will have more fighting spirit.
Ren Hailuan is just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, so she has never faced the test of life and death.
"No, I must live. Brother Zhong was injured trying to save me, and I can't let anything happen to him." Seeing that Tang Zhong was seriously injured and unconscious, Ren Hailuan had to force herself to calm down.
"If a lot of people did live here, then there might be a secret way down the mountain. Otherwise, it would be impossible for many people to come up here, unless they are all real gods." Ren Hailuan thought seriously. For a moment, I felt that there must be a secret passage in this cave.
So, she stood up immediately, her expression became stronger, and she was no longer as hesitant as at first.
Ren Hailuan did not carefully check the environment in the cave because of his panic. Ren Hailuan felt that there must be a secret passage here, but he just didn't find it. So she returned to the cave entrance again and began to search carefully.
If there is a secret passage, then there is probably a mechanism hidden in this cave. Only by finding the mechanism in the cave can she and Tang Zhong escape.
The greatest strength deep inside a person is his or her own will to survive.
If a person no longer even has the will to live, then he is no different from a dead person.
If you are not dead, don't treat yourself like a waste.
Ren Hailuan is not dead yet. Although her abilities are low, she never thinks that she is useless.
She is just a little girl who has not grown up yet.
Ren Hailuan came to the entrance of the cave again. When he first saw the three characters "Shadow in the Stream" above the cave door, he felt a little strange.
Generally, the secluded places of outsiders are called either caves or valleys, but this one is called "Shadow in the Stream". It seems to have no meaning at all. How can we not make people surprised?
She was just curious. Although Ren Hailuan couldn't explain the origin of the cave's name, she searched at the entrance of the cave for a long time and couldn't find any so-called mechanism.
There is nothing else here except some plants with strong vitality that grow in the cracks of the cliff. Some are just cold stone walls and clouds of smoke pouring into the cave.
It was already dusk, but it was warm in winter and cool in summer in the cave. The clouds and mist in the mountains were slowly seeping into the cave, giving the originally very warm cave a hint of coolness.
"It seems that we must light a fire in the cave later. Otherwise, how can Brother Zhong bear the cold wind blowing in?" Ren Hailuan's mind was filled with the figure of Tang Zhong at this time, but he had completely forgotten about himself. The presence.
Ren Hailuan still couldn't find the mechanism at the entrance of the cave, so he searched inside along the cave. This time she searched very carefully, not even a piece of gravel or a crack in the stone was missed. But even so, she had searched most of the cave, but still could not find what she called the secret passage of the mechanism.
"Perhaps, my inference is wrong! Could it be that the people who live here are really experts from this world?" Ren Hailuan couldn't help but said a little disappointed.
time flies.
The sun has set in the west and it is getting dark.
Ren Hailuan has searched most of the cave, but still can't find any mechanism, not even a suspicious place.
At this time, Ren Hailuan had already found Dongwei's kitchen. Just when she was already a little desperate, she actually found a secret room next to the kitchen.
The secret room is hidden under the firewood pile. There are neatly arranged firewood on it, including soft firewood and dry wood. If someone lives here, this pile of firewood alone can last three or four months.
Ren Hailuan opened all the firewood and found the secret room in the most secret place.
The secret chamber extends downward, and it may really be a passage leading to the bottom of the mountain stream. Ren Hailuan suddenly became happy, it seemed that he had really survived from a desperate situation! The entrance to the secret room was sealed with a wooden board, and the wooden board was pressed with stones.
After Ren Hailuan moved the stones away, he lifted the wooden board with his hand, but the board was still not lifted. Only then did Ren Hailuan discover that one end of the wooden board was still wrapped with vines, as if it was locked. So Ren Hailuan reached out to untie the wooden vine again, then lifted the wooden board, and then entered the secret room.
Ren Hailuan thought that he had really found the exit, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After Ren Hailuan entered the secret room, he discovered that there was no secret passage in the secret room. It was actually a cellar and a secret food storage room. However, Ren Hailuan was not completely disappointed, at least she still found food.
There is actually a lot of food in this storage room, not only fruits, wild vegetables, grains and other ordinary foods. There were also some very weird-looking things, at least things that Ren Hailuan had never eaten before. They were all insects and tree roots.
Above the storage room, there are actually many dried fish, dried eels and other watery smells hanging.
Although Ren Hailuan had found food, she was already very hungry and her stomach was already growling. Fortunately, there were many unknown wild fruits in front of her, which Ren Hailuan had never seen before.
Ren Hailuan was not sure at all whether this thing could be eaten. So she picked one up and tried to take a bite with some fear. She suddenly felt that it was sweet and delicious, much more delicious than any fruit he had eaten before.
"What is this? It's so delicious." Ren Hailuan couldn't help but feel happy. She ate two in one go, and then took two more and got out of the cellar, intending to let Tang Zhong also taste this beautiful girl. .
But as soon as she got out of the cellar, she suddenly thought that Tang Zhong was in a coma and she might not be able to bite the fruit. She remembered that there was a kitchen knife in the kitchen, so she quickly got the kitchen knife, and then happily walked towards the bedroom where Tang Zhong was.
oh! oh! oh!
Just as Ren Hailuan was heading towards Tang Zhong's bedroom through the main cave, a strange cry suddenly came from outside the cave, which sounded a bit like the cry of a wild monkey.
When Ren Hailuan heard the sound, he suddenly stood up. After a while, a huge figure stepped in from outside the door, and the sound of monkeys continued to come from behind him.
"It seems that the master is back. It turns out that he raised many wild monkeys! No wonder there are so many bedrooms. It seems that he regards these wild monkeys as his family. He is really a kind person!" Ren Hailuan While talking to himself, he stood there waiting for the master to come in.
After all, it is very impolite to intrude on someone else's territory without their permission. Now that the master is back, she must say hello first!
ah!
But as soon as the figure appeared in front of Ren Hailuan, Ren Hailuan was suddenly frightened and screamed.
oh! oh! oh!
Ren Hailuan's cry obviously frightened the other party. Suddenly, there were monkey noises on the opposite side. They all looked very frightened and seemed to be quite frightened.
It turned out that the cave owner that Ren Hailuan just thought was not a person, but a giant white monkey about the same size as an ordinary person. Behind it, followed a large group of monkeys, about twenty or so. Some are already old, while others are still hanging on to their mothers to feed themselves.
The white monkey suddenly saw a stranger in his cave, and the stranger had a kitchen knife in his hand. Therefore, it naturally thought that the other party was coming to kill it, so it became furious in an instant, and let out a roar of "howling" from its mouth.
Ren Hailuan was timid to begin with, but when he was frightened by the white monkey, he immediately threw away the fruit and kitchen knife and ran away quickly for his life.
Seeing that his roar was frightened by the other party, the white monkey's anger eased slightly. However, when a stranger suddenly broke into his residence, it naturally wanted to drive him out, so the monkey king immediately led the monkey grandson to chase after him.
Finally, the White Monkey King found Ren Hailuan, who had just escaped, in one of his bedrooms. It originally wanted to scare her with its cry so that it could expel her from its cave. But it discovered that the little girl didn't need to be frightened at all. She was already trembling on the other person. It seemed that she was very frightened.
oh! oh! oh!
As for the little monkeys behind the Monkey King, they all jumped up and down behind him and kept making demonstration calls, but they did not dare to take a step into the bedroom. Obviously, they are all waiting for the monkey king's order.
