The leisurely life of Lin Yuxi

The snow had stopped, and the game on the raft was freezing.Da Zhu sprinkled some special medicinal powder on the raft to cover up the bloody smell, so as long as he was careful, he would not attract wild animals.

When I went back, I forgave a little.Otherwise, the raft will not pass.

"Er Fatty, let's go the wrong way." Da Zhu pushed his hat.

"That's right." Er Fatty looked around and shook his head.They often go to this forest, how can they go wrong.

"No, look at the crooked-neck tree. Have you seen it?" Dazhu said and pointed to the front not far away, a strangely shaped crooked-neck tree was beside the road.

"Really, what came out of this tree?" Er Fatty said and put down the rope.Take a few steps forward.

Yuxi had never walked this road, so she didn't feel strange, but felt that the tree grew strangely.This is a yew tree. If the tree was stretched straight, it would be 30 meters high, but now the 30-meter-high tree has turned seven or eight bends, and the crown is horizontal.It was as if a huge force twisted it from above.The body of the tree is like a coiled dragon, and the crown of the tree is the dragon head that roars up to the sky, which is very mighty.

It's just that there are all kinds of trees in the forest, even if they are strange, it will not surprise the two of them.

Dazhu and Erpang learned hunting from Uncle Liu since they were young. Now, for several years, they can walk this road with their eyes closed. The last time they passed by was less than half a month ago, but they had never seen this tree.This is where things get a little weird.

Er Pang stepped forward curiously. The tree was as thick as a man, and the snow fell one after another when he reached out his hand.

"It's really a good tree. A few days ago, some people from Haicheng came to our place to collect exotic flowers and trees. If I knew this tree existed at that time, I could sell it for a lot of money." Dazhu felt a little regretful.There was a lot of excitement in the village at that time.

"This tree is an old tree, probably four to five hundred years old. It's a pity to dig it up, and I don't know if it will live forever. Brother Dazhu, let's let it grow here." The tree grew like this It's not easy.

Dazhu looked at Yuxi with a sullen face, afraid that he really dug up a tree, "That's all I said."

Er Pang patted Yuxi on the shoulder, "Listen to him, he didn't dare, but the third master said that we are not allowed to go up the mountain to dig trees. Those people still want to cut down the yew trees in our old forest, and the third master scolded them." gone."

Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled.Dashan supported him, and he also hoped that Dashan could always maintain its original appearance.

"Okay, let's go." Da Zhu glanced at the crooked neck tree again, "Go back and ask Uncle Liu what's going on with this tree." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Er Fatty ouch, and he disappeared.

"Brother Erpang?" Yuxi took two steps and looked at the place where Erpang disappeared, there was actually a hole there.Just two steps away from the crooked neck tree. "Brother Er Fatty? How are you?" Yuxi lay on the snow and looked in, slanting down the dark passage.

"Er Fatty, did you hear that?"

"It's okay, I was shocked. Hey, this place is quite big." Er Fatty's voice came from below, "There is a hole here, you guys also come down and have a look."

The three of them were all young, and when they were curious about everything, they all wanted to go down and have a look.It was only two miles away from their village. Dazhu let go of the dog, looked outside, and brought Yuxi down the cave.Before going down the hole, tie the rope to the crooked neck tree, and let the other end hang down.

The hole is surrounded by ice, very smooth.

It was about seven or eight meters down, and at the bottom, Erpang was picking dead branches. Through the faint light of Yuxi, he found that this was a hole dug by people. There were excavation marks around the hole, and the surrounding soil was compacted.Even so, over the years, there are still some tree roots hanging down.

"Look, there are still people living here." Er Fatty lit a bunch of dead branches and said, pointing to the stone table and bench beside the cave wall.

"Well, it should be." In addition to the stone table and bench next to the passage, there is an earthen stove, which is already dilapidated.There are bowls on the stove.

"I haven't heard of anyone living here." Dazhu always felt a little strange.

"There's another door here." Yuxi saw a wooden door on one side of the wall of the cave, stretched out his hand and pushed it, and the wooden door rotted and fell apart.

"He probably lives here." Dazhu frowned and looked at the skeleton on the stone bed.The leaks outside are all white and miserable, and there are still broken clothes hanging on the skeleton shelf. It should be a long robe, which is already invisible.

The room inside is more orderly. Not only is it reinforced with stones, but there is a stone table next to the stone bed and several box lampstands on it.

Looking at the pale skeleton, Yuxi felt a little terrified. This person had been dead for an unknown number of years.Empty eye sockets seemed to be looking at something.

"Look at this big knife, it's really exciting." Er Fatty opened a long box, and there was a big knife inside.It weighs thirty or forty catties.Even after so long, the knife has not rusted at all.

"Ahem——Brother Er Fatty, lightly blow your fan." Yuxi waved the smoke, and the box was covered with dust.

The three of them cleaned up the things in the stone house. Most of the things were rotten. Only the things in the three boxes were still intact. Inside the opened one was a bow and three iron arrows.

In the end there was a box with several books in it.Other than that, there is no information to prove the owner of the burrow.The books inside the box are intact.Yuxi lightly picked up the rare cursive on the top. The book was made of unknown materials, and it looked like an ancient book. A teeny boy couldn't see it clearly with a simple torch.Because of too much dust, Yuxi gently put it back into the box and closed the lid.

"Let's go back first. It will be late later." Da Zhu put the bow back.

Er Fat rolled his eyes. "Let's go around to the west of the village."

The three looked at each other and smiled.

Pulling the rope to climb up, the tunnel was very slippery and the three of them fell down several times.

It was getting late today, and a stone was found to block the entrance of the cave.The three of them thought about coming back tomorrow and buried the bones in the cave.

After a long detour, Dazhu and Erpang first put the things at Yuxi's house, "Hurry up and turn on the lights." The house is a bit cold these days, the second child and the third child live in the third uncle's house.

After moving things into the room and putting them on the round table, there was a bang, "It's really heavy."

This time the light was sufficient, and when he took out the knife, it reflected a faint yellow light, and the circles of satin pattern on it revealed a burst of icy coldness.

"I don't want anything else but this knife." Er Pang held the knife and did not let go.

Dazhu curled his lips, holding the bow, the black paint was like ink, even if it was right next to the lamp, there was no refraction, it seemed to be integrated with the body in his hand, and with his strength, he could only pull it away by a third of it. two.It can't be full, and the look of love on his face is not weaker than that of Erpang.

"Then I want this bow and arrow."

The two looked at each other, then turned their heads to look at Yuxi.

In their hearts, these two weapons are treasures, and they will suffer a loss if they choose Yuxi.

It's just that Yuxi didn't even look at them at this time.

Because she was afraid of damaging the books in the cave, Yuxi just glanced at them, and then carefully took out the books. There are nine books in total, "Extraordinary Cursive Records" and "Strange Talks of Jianghu"

"Thirteen Knives"

"Seven Arrows"

"Tianyi Atlas"

"Miscellaneous Notes from the Four Seas"

"Taoist scriptures"

"Ghost Eye Talisman"

"Pengyue Handbook"

Except for the Pengyue Letters at the bottom, the materials of the other books are different, but they are all excellent materials, some are like silk but not silk, as thin as cicada wings, or as delicate as skin, and as white as snow.But they all have one thing in common, they have not rotted after being placed in the ground for many years.

"Pengyue Letters" was wrapped with several layers of silk, and even so, it was a bit rotten, and it would break if you were not careful.

"Here is a sword manual and an arrow manual." Yuxi flipped through it and picked out two.

Er Fatty took the knife manual and laughed twice, turned his head around, and was embarrassed to speak.

Yuxi put the rest of the books in the box, "Brother Erpang, Brother Dazhu, these books are ancient books, maybe they are worth more than your knives and bows. Don't regret it."

Dazhu read the titles of several books, but didn’t see anything. He flipped through them twice, but he didn’t recognize the words in them, “Even if you give me this book, I won’t understand it. As long as you don’t feel like you’re at a loss, that’s fine.” .”

Er Pang kicked the knife book into his arms, "Come on, I'm hungry, let's go back."

"Brother Dazhu, go back and tell Erwa that I have heated up the kang here, and then go pick them up."

"Don't wait, I'll take them back." Da Zhu put his hat on his head and left the room.He and Er Pang unloaded a roe deer, two pheasants and two hares from the car.

Yuxi did not refuse, and followed the two to unload the medicinal materials to the next room.Even if he didn't want to come home, the third aunt had to send it over.I can only be filial slowly in the future.

After sending the two brothers away, Yuxi hurriedly lit the fire, and was not at home for a week, and the second and third children did not sleep at home. During the day, the third aunt burned two bundles of corn stalks. Just like that, the house was still chilly.

There was still some water in the pot, which was still warm, so I took it out to wash my face.Just after washing two, the door opened, Erwa rushed over like a small cannonball and almost hit him.

"Why did you come back by yourself?" Yuxi's face was full of soap foam.

"Brother, why don't you pick me up." Erwa puffed her face.

"I'll come back to light the fire first. I'll pick you up after heating up the kang. What if it's frozen?"

"I'm not afraid of the cold, please borrow me first next time." The little guy rolled his eyes.

"Okay, let me borrow you first, go and close the door, let the heat out of the room. How is Sanwa, it hasn't been cold these two days."

"No, the third uncle burns the kang every day, so the house is warm. Brother, have you gone hunting in the mountains? I think Brother Da Zhu pulled two wild boars. When I came back, they all went to watch the fun."

"Brother Dazhu and Brother Erpang left us a robe, and two pheasants and hares, which can be eaten for a while. I will go to the county in a few days and buy some pork and two chickens for the New Year. You still have What do you want to eat? We bought it together." It is estimated that the mountain will be closed in half a month, and it will not be easy to buy more.There is a fair over the little backer, and every time I go there, it takes a lot of effort.

"Brother, let's make dumplings tomorrow."

Yuxi wiped her face, "Okay, let's make dumplings." Holding the waste bucket with a basin on the side, she looked at the light on the road with big eyes, "The third aunt is here."
