For other children, apart from finding these treasures and images "good-looking" and "brightly colored", they don't have much appeal. In the eyes of children, "money" is something in the adult world. It's not really a "treasure" at all. Not as attractive as a piece of Hu Bing or a leg of lamb.
"Let-let's go down-down the mountain!"
As soon as the skinny kid climbed down, he thought it was time to get out of here. It has been almost a day and a night since they were kidnapped yesterday. Everyone has not eaten anything and has been doing a lot of work. The remaining heat in the small body has been absorbed by the mountain in the cave. The skinny kid hugged his shoulders, trying hard to control the uncontrollable shaking of his body, and suggested pitifully and stammeringly.
"good!"
Xinwu carefully scanned all the murals on the top of the cave, silently memorizing them in his heart, and then looked up at the face of the tall, unformed seated Buddha statue, and sighed softly. , turned around and got out of the cave door first.
At this time, the sunlight has risen higher, and the sunlight is not too strong. It illuminates the east side of the mountain brightly, forming a sharp contrast with the shadow on the west side. This comes from the shadow. The wind was blowing vigorously, making the children's naked upper bodies even more cold.
Looking down from this position, the group of children at the foot of the mountain have long gathered on a sunny flat land. Next to it is a shallow stream. The tiny waves formed by the stones in the water can occasionally be turned over. A few small white waves jump up in the air, using the only jump of each water droplet to embrace the sun. After refraction, they form an array of colorful water droplets, sometimes large and sometimes small, freely and freely. Dance their own dance.
The six big boys were still covered in stains, and the little boys were so frightened that they hid behind the big boy leading the group and huddled together.
"Wash up first!"
Xin Wu took the lead and walked to the stream first, took a deep breath, held his breath, and washed the dirty parts of his body with the stream water. After all, it was morning, and the stream water melted by the snow was also cold. It was biting to the bone, but he gritted his teeth and speeded up the rubbing movements of his hands, which soon turned the skin red. The cold and stinging feeling gradually turned into a hint of warmth brought by exercise, and the pieces of chicken skin appeared on the skin. The pimple disappeared unconsciously.
The boy who led the group handed them a piece of newly torn cloth. The older children, who were washing their upper bodies vigorously, wiped themselves dry one by one, and the children's water, which was originally clean and slightly red, Moisturizing the skin, it is revealed again. Under the sun, it glows with a very comfortable and eye-catching light.
All the children reunited, and the joy of regaining freedom was quickly overwhelmed by the churning of their hungry stomachs. Everyone wanted to find something to eat quickly.
Xinwu is the same. Now his mind is full of thinking about food, but he has no money, how can he buy things for his children? So, he thought of the "treasure house" again - as long as he went back to the cave and dug out one or two pieces of gold, gems, etc. from under the wall, it would be enough for the children to have a good meal!
"You, come back with me and bring a bag. Everyone, wait for us and we'll be back soon."
Xinwu patted the shoulder of the thinnest but fastest climbing child again, and the two returned to the cave again.
"You didn't lie to me? Can those things be exchanged for food?"
The little skinny man moved very quickly, but he still looked full of questions. He couldn't understand that these flashing "bulimbulin" things could be so valuable and could be exchanged for food, so he asked while picking at them, " If what you said is true, then let’s get some more!”
"No, just pick a little bit! These things are embedded here and will be passed down for hundreds of years. We just want to survive, so we have to do it. We just want to have a full meal and a transition. It will be much more damaging. We have sinned!”
Xin Wu knew the value of the raw materials for these murals, and even more clearly knew the value of these murals, so he was very restrained.
The little thin man was very obedient. According to Xin Wu's instructions, he took the decorative material from the portrait of a donor holding a sword at the bottom, packed it in his bag, hung it around his neck, and quickly slipped away naked from the scaffolding. Come down.
Some of the "magical birds" on the top of the mountain have finished their feast, and are circling around in the nearby treetops and mountain tops. Sometimes they fly low and pass over the gathering of children, scaring the children into screaming. They squatted down on the ground with their heads in their hands, trying to reduce their size, squeezing together like a group of frightened chicks.
"Get away! Get away!"
The older children, who had just experienced a big scene, picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them at these "uninvited guests" in the air, driving them to spy and intrude.
Xin Wu is very pleased that these children from different backgrounds have become a "team" rather than a "group" in such a short period of time. It can be regarded as a friendship of "sharing weal and woe". They are growing up so fast!
Along the creek, the mountain road gradually descends, and the road surface becomes more and more open. Various drought-resistant plants grow in twos and threes beside the road. They are low, thorny, and have few leaves. They are very capable of coping with strong winds and sand. In appearance, he looks very low-key, but also very tenacious.
"The three older children are in front, the four are behind, and the little ones are all in the middle. They line up in twos and twos and go down the mountain! Everyone, pay attention to the falling rocks on the mountain and the cliffs on both sides. Pay attention to your steps. I will lead the way, the little skinny boy. , after you cut off at the end, did everyone understand?"
"clear!"
Xin Wu still used his "commanding" ability, assigned the children, and started the journey down the mountain.
I don’t know how long the journey will take, and it is indeed unrealistic to expect the children to walk dryly without saying a word. At Xin Wu's suggestion, each member of this "boy scout" began to introduce themselves while marching.
"My friends! My name is Xin Wu. You can call me Brother Xin. I don't know how old I am this year. Even if I am twelve years old! Who are my parents and where are they from? If you don’t understand, I won’t talk about it for now. Come on, it’s your turn, please introduce yourself to everyone!”
The two big boys following behind Xin Wu were one of his recent comrades who was on the right hand side of the same shackles in the cave; the other was the strong boy who had successfully "drilled wood to make fire".
