"Seriously, that's good advice. Yang Xianmao began to use the sharp beak as a knife, cut off the head of the strange bird, and then hollowed out all the things in the head, and the skull was really an arc-shaped spoon, because this strange bird was very big, this head was as big as a sea bowl, Yang Xianmao took the skull of the strange bird and put it in the water to clean, washed the blood on it, and then bit a scoop of extremely cold Yin River water, and stretched it into the fire with two sharp beaks as support.

Gui Ling'er was very curious and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yang Xianmao said: "You're right, I'm going to use the fire to dry the blood on it first, and then after the water in it is boiled, the blood in it will be boiled, so that it will not be fishy to drink again, and you just reminded me, we can cut the meat into small pieces and throw it here to cook, the boiled meat may have a different taste than the barbecued meat, besides, if the pieces are roasted, when will it be roasted, and it will be cooked quickly."

As he spoke, the water on the skull was quickly boiled, gurgling and bubbling white, Yang Xianmao waited for it to boil for a while, and then poured the water, at this time the skull had become snow-white, and it was almost impossible to smell the blood on it.

Yang Xianmao scooped another scoop of water from the ** river and sent it to the fire to boil, this time it was quickly boiled.

Yang Xianmao said: "This boiled water, I don't know if it tastes better than the hot water before, but it's too hot, I'll go and cool it." ”

He used two pointed beaks to hold the skull and put it into the water of the ** river, and the water bubbled out strings of white bubbles, and the water in the skull quickly cooled down.

He estimated that it was almost there, so he took it back and sent it to his mouth to taste it, the water was warm, it tasted good, no different from ordinary water, it was much better than the water they had roasted with fire before, because the fire had roasted, and it was not heated to boiling, and the cold in it still could not be dispelled, and now there was no cold in it, and the body was comfortable to drink.

He handed the half scoop of water to Liu Qingmei and said, "You come and drink a little and feel it." ”

Liu Qingmei took it and took a sip, indeed, it was much better than the previous water, so she drank several big sips in a row, seeing that it was already halfway through, she handed the remaining water in the skull to Gui Ling'er with some apologies.

Gui Ling'er looked disgusted, looked at the skull and said, "You can still drink the water in this thing, don't you feel disgusting?"

Liu Qingmei smiled and said: "Relatively speaking, I am more reluctant to be thirsty, my throat was smoking just now, not to mention the water in the skull, no matter how disgusting the water is, I am afraid that I will drink it, hehe." ”

Ling'er also smiled when he said a word, so he also took the skull and glanced at it, closed his eyes and drank a small half, and handed the remaining half to Liu Dongyan, Liu Dongyan didn't say much, took it and drank the rest and gave it to Yang Xianmao.

Yang Xianmao filled another skull with water to boil on the fire, and then warmed it in the ** river, and then gave it to a few people to drink, and after the four of them drank a lot of water from the skull, their bodies suddenly became comfortable.

Yang Xianmao filled another skull with water, put the meat of the strange bird cut into slices into the water, put it on the fire to cook, and soon boiled, the meat inside turned white, tumbling up and down, Yang Xianmao took it off and inserted a piece with a sharp beak to his mouth and praised: "I'll just say, boiled meat is more fragrant than barbecued meat, you taste it." ”

Gui Ling'er was already hungry, and said, "You have been eating for a long time, and there is nothing to do, so you should be able to eat, okay, I'll try it." ”

Then he also learned from Yang Xianmao to insert a piece of it into his mouth with his sharp mouth and chewed it: "It's so fragrant, sister-in-law, you can eat it too." ”

As long as there is one person at the beginning, it will be easy to do, and the others will follow, so soon all the meat in this skull will be eaten, and the meat barbecued over there will be almost burned, Yang Xianmao cut the meat into small strips, and everyone also shared it, and then Yang Xianmao cooked another skull meat, and everyone ate it, and the stomach was full.

After eating the meat, Gui Ling'er said, "Where should we go? I see that the torch you just threw over can shine far away, is there a road on both sides?"

Yang Xianmao said: "We can't go in both directions, both sides are empty, because there is no water flowing down on both sides, we may get lost, just like before, keep walking the same way, and it should be no problem to walk along the river." ”

Several other people also nodded their heads, agreeing with his point of view, so a few of them stood up and continued to walk, at this time Gui Ling'er and Liu Qingmei said: "You don't have to look at the two of us, you already have the strength to eat and drink water, let's go by ourselves, it's really not good, you are carrying us." ”

Yang Xianmao saw that they had also recovered their spirits, so they nodded and agreed, so Yang Xianmao still held a torch to open the way in front, and Liu Dongyan also came with strength after eating, and directly carried one of the thigh meat of the strange bird on his shoulder, and the four of them continued to walk along the ** river.

They walked out for a while, and suddenly Yang Xianmao stood up and looked ahead in a daze, and everyone else also looked at him and asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Yang Xianmao didn't speak, listened attentively, and then quickened his pace, almost trotting, and several other people didn't know what was going on, so they hurriedly trotted to follow, running out of the way, Yang Xianmao suddenly stopped, and said in ecstasy: "Water, it's the sound of water, it's a big sound of water, there should be a big river in front!"

But except for Yang Xianmao, the other women did not hear the sound of water, and followed Yang Xianmao further, and Gui Ling'er suddenly said: "There is grass! Look, there is grass on the stones under your feet!"

Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, and sure enough, some shallow grass occasionally appeared in the cracks of the underground stones, pulled one down and looked at it, it was really green grass, they were even more ecstatic, continued to run forward, and ran out of the road for a while, and several other people also heard the sound of the river, and they finally came to the river, then Liu Qingmei suddenly called out in surprise: "There is a star in the sky!"

It turned out that she had inadvertently looked up just now, and now there was a small star shining in the distance in the sky, although it was very dim, but she could still see it clearly.

Before, all of them thought that the top of their heads was just a dark cave, no one looked up, they all looked down at the stones on the ground, avoiding the stones to walk forward, and did not pay attention to the sky, and then raised their heads after hearing Liu Qingmei say this, they all shouted in surprise, Gui Ling'er said: "Have we come out?"

Yang Xianmao said happily: "It should be, I saw the mountains." ”

He raised his torch aloft and looked back to see a wide black mountain spreading upward, and on the other side of the huge mountain there was a dim sky, and in the distance there was the silhouette of a dark black mountain.

They really came out.

The three women jumped and jumped around Yang Xianmao together, excited, Liu Qingmei has never been so happy, she was originally a girl who liked to be lively, innocent and lovely, but after suffering from that disease, she was disgusted by her husband, and even did not have sex with her, and went outside to spend time drinking, looking for flowers and asking willows, so that she has been depressed, no longer see laughter, and now she has returned to the innocent and lively nature of her girlhood, and she is also like a child, jumping and jumping.

They continued to walk along the flowing ** river, walked out of a distance, and finally came to the wide ** river.

They recognized this river, it was the ** river that they went down by boat, and now it was flowing down, the sound of the water was roaring, and several people finally confirmed that this should be the place where the water became turbulent after the last earthquake collapsed half of the river.

Yang Xianmao also immediately understood why they were able to get out, because the collapsed mountain exposed the entire underground karst cave entrance.

After confirming that he had indeed come out, several people jumped around again, looking at Yang Xianmao to see how he had decided to go? Yang Xianmao said to Liu Dongyan: "Throw away that meat, walk back from here and return to Yinzhou in one hour at most, we don't need that thing when we are full, and the coffin lid is also thrown away." ”

Liu Dongyan smiled and threw the half of the meat of the strange bird on his shoulder on the ground, Yang Xianmao also threw the coffin board he was carrying, and then several people walked up the river, recalling the thrill just now as they walked.

Gui Ling'er said: "I knew that I would be able to come out so soon, and I won't eat this disgusting thing if I am killed, and I will drink water with my skull, Dao Chief, you can think of it, use such a disgusting thing to fill us with water to drink, I don't want to pay attention to you." ”

Everyone laughed and went up the river.

After more than an hour, they finally entered Yinzhou.

When they arrived in Yinzhou, it was already dawn, and it was really like a world away, and several people were very strange why they kept going down in the cave, but they came to the place of the collapse upstream. The mysterious labyrinth, the terrifying strange birds, the biting ghost-cold water, all terrified them.

After returning to the manor, the doorkeeper saw a few of them jumping three feet high, and rushed up in surprise: "Third Miss, young grandmother, Dao Chief, you are still alive, you are back, but it scared us to death, you don't know, all the people in the village went to look for you, and invited many people to find it." ”

Yang Xianmao was taken aback, but this was also expected, and after asking about the situation, he knew that Ju'er, who was guarding outside, saw that Yang Xianmao and they couldn't come out, and they were a little anxious, so they shouted hard, and waited until it was almost dark and still didn't see Yang Xianmao and them come out, and it was estimated that something happened to them, so he asked the boat boss to hurry up and go back to report.

After getting the news, the owner of the lord was very anxious, and immediately came to search and rescue, almost all the active people on the manor went out to search, followed the boat to search, and also reported to the official, invited a lot of archers, and Minzhuang also followed to find, returning home in Yinzhou is a big family, in addition to doing business, there is also farmland, the status is not low, and there is a lot of silver to spend, of course the government and the government are willing to listen to his dispatch.
