Chapter 7: Shock
Sheng Weiqiao was annoyed and ashamed, picked up her skirt and kicked it over, and shouted: "Shut up!! it's obvious that you can't speak, so you misunderstood, and you actually blamed me!
"Good girl, you see there's a small puddle over there, I think it was accumulated when it rained two days ago. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" After dodging away, Sheng Sleeping Crane suddenly pointed diagonally ahead, "The sun has been out for the past two days, so the puddle must be clear." ”
"What does this have to do with me?" Sheng Weiqiao was confused and looked at him inexplicably.
Seeing Sheng Sleeping Crane showing a malicious expression, he quickened his pace and walked a little farther, and then said slowly: "Good girl can use this puddle to take a picture of herself! Good girl is really good-looking, but there is really no good point to make everyone who sees you disregard human ethics - I believe that for brother, such a thing as bringing disaster to the country and the people is really not something that any beauty can do!"
…… Well, the next brother and sister are running all the way into the valley.
Sheng Weiqiao, who has always been delicate and squeamish, accompanied his grandfather Mrs. Sheng to ride a horse outside the city for a while a few days ago and shouted tired, driven by anger, seemed to burst out with far more physical strength and energy than usual!
Not only did she chase the sleeping crane all the way into the valley, but even stopped at the side of the spring when the sleeping crane was smiling and forgive, she rushed up and punched and kicked her, and her fists hit the flesh, the tiger and the tiger were full of wind, and the majestic look was the blood of the old lady Sheng!
It's just that she patronized the pleasure, but forgot that the "fifth brother" who lived in this valley was a sleeping crane!
So a moment later, Sheng Sleeping Crane, who was smiling and begging for mercy, suddenly stepped forward and took her into his arms - before Sheng Weiqiao could react, he jumped into the water without hesitation!
After the tragic experience of going to the sea to save people last time, Sheng Sleeping Crane was very smart to hold Sheng Weiqiao firmly in advance, so that no matter how panicked she was, she couldn't hug herself in turn, except for subconsciously wrapping her legs around his waist, her whole body couldn't move, and she could only float up and down after he took him into the water.
Sheng Weiqiao, who was caught off guard and swallowed several mouthfuls of spring water, was about to go crazy after revealing the water, but he saw a fierce black panther on the shore not far away, putting on a standard attack posture, staring at himself coldly!
Those golden eyes all lost the lazy calm in their memories, and the gaze that stared at her was full of murderous intent!
And in front of it, where Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Sleeping Crane were standing, there was a deep claw mark on the ground, and the force was so great that it cut out a few bushes of flowers and plants!
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a while before he realized why Sheng Sleeping Crane suddenly hugged him and jumped down - if he hadn't done this, he would have lost half his life by this leopard's paw!!
"It'...... Why is it like this?!" Sheng Weiqiao looked at Chu Wu for a moment, and saw that the murderous aura in the eyes of this black panther did not disappear with the passage of time, but became more and more obvious, and soon it lowered its center of gravity again, and the muscles of its hind legs tightened, and it wanted to jump into the water to kill her!
Sheng Weiqiao suddenly panicked, and shrank into Sheng Sleeping Crane's arms, and said with a crying voice as he shrank, "I just beat you! It didn't hurt at all, it actually wanted to kill me—this leopard is too unreasonable, right?!"
"Good girl, do you know now the importance of letting the fifth brother be familiar with you?" Compared to her panic, Sheng Sleeping Crane was calm and relaxed, and he still had the heart to laugh and laugh, "If you change to a brother and beat you today, do you believe that the fifth brother will not only want to kill your brother, but will even help you fall into the well and give you a bite down the throat?"
"You still have the heart to laugh now!" Sheng Weiqiao was about to be angry with him, if it weren't for the fact that both arms were tightly wrapped by him and couldn't struggle at all, she would have to beat this sleeping crane now, "It's about to pounce! You still don't care about it, is the purpose of you tricking me here today just to let it kill me?!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled and said, "Good girl, your attitude of begging for people is not good! Don't say anything else, at least you should shout nicely, right?"
Before the words fell, Sheng Weiqiao didn't have time to answer, and there was a dull roar on the side of the valley mouth!
Then the ground of the entire valley shook slightly, and even the water where the brothers and sisters were located set off a violent ripple - the fifth day of the first year when the waterside was about to kill Sheng Weiqiao, he also turned his head in disbelief, his whole body was tense, his fur exploded, and his throat couldn't help but let out a low roar of horror and demonstration!
"Fifth brother!" Sheng Sleeping Crane instantly sank his face, and raised his voice to soothe, "Fifth brother don't be afraid, everything is with me!"
While speaking, he had already taken Sheng Weiqiao towards the shore, and the fifth day of the first year was originally shouting at the valley mouth, but when he noticed Sheng Weiqiao's approach, he immediately turned around again, grinning at her, looking like he was looking for a place to speak, and Sheng Weiqiao, who was frightened, couldn't stop screaming, and leaned on Sheng Sleeping Crane.
Fortunately, after Sheng Sleeping Crane arrived on the shore, he stretched out his hand and pushed the head stretched out by Chu Wu, and briefly said a few words "This is not a bad person" and "Don't hurt her", and quickly calmed down Chu Wu, and let the black panther get out of the way, and supported himself on the shore with one hand, and then pulled Sheng Weiqiao up - at this time, the sound of the valley mouth finally stopped, but there were still some aftershocks on the ground, and the surrounding grass and trees were windless, and the autumn leaves that would have left the branches in a few days fell one after another, looking both poignant and ominous.
The brother and sister didn't have time to pay attention to their soaked clothes at the moment, and they both tried to look in the direction of Taniguchi, with solemn expressions: "The ground has moved?!"
Sheng Weiqiao's face turned pale, "I don't know how the house on the island is? Ying Jiang and Lu Jin are estimated to be in the room!"
"It's not moving!" Sheng Sleeping Crane blushed and thought for a while before saying, "Let's go over and have a look!"
After a while, Sheng Weiqiao, who was out of breath when he left, looked at the scene in front of him, and was stunned for a long time before he gasped: "This ...... What the hell is going on?!"
"......" Sheng Sleeping Crane was also silent for a moment, and said, "We should be trapped temporarily!"
——Standing in front of the brother and sister is the mountain rocks and soil pouring down, mixed with the grass, trees and vines that originally grew on it, blocking the road out of the valley!
Sheng Weiqiao took a deep breath and turned to Sheng Sleeping Crane: "What do you mean by this?!"
"Not me. Sheng Sleeping Crane was obviously in a very bad mood, and he didn't call himself "brother", his face was expressionless, his eyes were deep, he looked up at the Tortoiseshell Peak next to him for a while, and said, "Someone made a trap on the Tortoiseshell Peak, it should be using the part of the mountain that the Tortoiseshell Peak had collapsed during the wind and rain two days ago." At that time, fences, vines, and other objects were used to temporarily block the landslide of the rocks and mud, and only then did we quietly open up the most critical places, so that this part of the mountain continued to slide, blocking our way out of the valley! Because these places were already full of lily walls, we had not been here for two years, even if we found that it was different, we would not suspect that it had been manipulated, and would only think that it was a natural growth change. ”
Following his guidance, Sheng Weiqiao looked intently, and indeed saw rough fences, woven vines, and the like among the mud and rocks blocking the road.
However, this did not dispel her suspicions about Sheng Sleeping Crane: "Gongsun Xi came to the island with us this time, but since he came ashore, he has disappeared!"
In other words, who knows if this trap was made by Sheng Sleeping Crane at the behest of Gongsun Xi?
It's not just Gongsun Xi, Sheng Sleeping Crane, as the leader of the Wuyi Battalion, has more people who can command on Tortoiseshell Island!
Even if the loud noise of the mountain collapsing happened, he was soaking in the water with Sheng Weiqiao in his arms, and he didn't have a chance to do anything else, but he might not be innocent!
It's just that Sheng Weiqiao doesn't understand why he did this?
"What am you doing when I trap myself and my good girl in this valley?!" Sheng Sleeping Crane also raised this question, "What's more, although this valley mouth is very blocked, even if the eldest brother receives the news, he immediately summons all the people on the island to dig it, and he won't want to dig it through in ten days and half a month." But Hawksbill Island is an island and faces the sea on all sides. If we go all the way into this valley, we can also go to the sea! Then we can go out if we send a boat over. Did I put all this effort into asking you to take another boat?"
Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "Then you say, why did you insist that I come to this valley with you, and you didn't let me bring green brocade or green qi?"
“…… There is a problem with Yingdun. Sheng Sleeping Crane's face was very ugly, and the smile that often puffed on the corner of his mouth disappeared without a trace, and his beautiful face was gradually shrouded in a layer of coldness, and his eyes flickered for a while at the obstacles in front of him, and then he said lightly, "I was anxious to come to see the fifth day of the junior high school, and I didn't worry about leaving you with Ying Jiang, so I insisted on taking you out!"
Sheng Weiqiao was taken aback: "Gongsun Sea Lord ......?"
Without waiting for Sheng Sleeping Crane to deny it, she herself had ruled out this possibility, "If the Gongsun Sea Lord wants to be unfavorable to us, he can do it when he is at the dock, and there is no need to be so troublesome! You mean that Ying Dun himself wants to target us? Why?"
"Probably he has too many good days, so he doesn't toss and don't be happy?" Sheng Sleeping Crane said lightly, "The beach leading to this valley is too shallow, and the big boat can't rely on it at all. If it is getting late today, for the sake of safety, the eldest brother may not send a boat to pick him up until tomorrow. Let's go back to the cave for one night, and when we go back by sea tomorrow, I'll give that bastard boy rules myself!"
"I think this is ......" Sheng Weiqiao followed his footsteps thoughtfully, and hesitated, "I'm afraid it may not be Ying Dun's doing?"
Seeing that Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't say a word, she thought about it for a while, and continued, "You can explain this trap in a few words, but in fact, the manpower and material resources it will cost are not small! Ying Dun is a young sea lord, and it is not impossible to do such a thing on the island above ten thousand people under one person! The problem is that I have heard Ying Jiang say before that she and Ying Dun are not long in the world, and before the death of the old sea lord of Gongsun, their sister and brother actually did not have a high status among the heirs of the sea lord of Gongsun. If it weren't for the earlier heirs of Gongsun Sea Lord, there would be only the two of them left, and it would not be Ying Dun's turn to be the Young Sea Lord!"
"In other words, Ying Dun didn't have much power on the island in the past, so naturally he won't have too many capable people!"
"The henchmen he can entrust with important tasks now, I am afraid that ten out of ten will be arranged for him by Gongsun Haizhu in the past two years. ”
"In just one or two years, Ying Dun is a skill, how can he make all these people return to his heart?
"Then since the Gongsun Sea Lord has no intention of attacking us, he should let these people set this trap to harm us, even if these people don't directly disobey the order, they will definitely tell the Gongsun Sea Lord in private!"
"Gongsun Sea Lord knows, how can he sit idly by?!"
"Who does that good girl think, who is the culprit?" Sheng Sleeping Crane seemed to be a little interested when he heard this, turned his head, touched her head, and asked with a smile.
Sheng Weiqiao opened his hand unhappily: "Let's get down to business! Don't do anything - I'm so old, you won't do this kind of childlike behavior in the future!"
Only then did he say, "What I know about the Gongsun family, that is, the few words that Ying Jiang occasionally said, who knows what grievances and hatreds have been on this island? But when I went to the courtyard with Ying Jiang just now, I saw a person who called himself Yan Nunu, who seemed to be the concubine of Gongsun Haizhu, and was pregnant?" Sheng Shenghe understood what she meant: "So you suspect that Yan Nunu has a big heart when she has a child, and wants to frame Ying Dun, the young sea master, so as to pave the way for her unborn child?"
Sheng Weiqiao nodded: "After all, this trap seems to be huge, but in fact it didn't hurt us at all! As you said, at the moment we are just temporarily trapped, as early as today, or later tomorrow, we will be able to leave the valley! If Ying Dun does it, this move is tantamount to forcing you and me who were originally towards him to the opposite side, what good will this do to him? I think about it, he is probably also calculated! The real culprit behind the scenes wants to use our hands to deal with him!"
"I'll always know what's going on when I go back. Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled noncommittally, and when they spoke, they had already returned to the spring, Sheng Sleeping Crane hurriedly walked a few steps to the mountain wall next to him, brushed aside the tired lily, looked inside, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, in the past two years, the eldest brother has been sending people to come over regularly to clean and replace the things inside." Otherwise, if there is no boat to pick us up later, it will not be easy to have a good night!"
Sheng Weiqiao had been forced by him to go to the cemetery to practice his courage the year before last, and he knew that he would be able to leave the valley by sea today and tomorrow, and he was not too nervous at the moment-if the leopard was farther away from her, she would not be nervous at all--when he heard this, he reminded him: "You just said that the roast muntjac meat? The roast is not in a hurry, hurry up and build a fire to roast the clothes, I think it's so cold!"
Did they get up from the spring?
I was in a hurry to come over to see what was going on, and I didn't have time to care about the soaked clothes, but now that I have figured out the situation, but there is a wind, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly feels like I'm going to shiver!
Sheng Sleeping Crane has often spent the night in this valley since he was a child, although he has not returned for more than two years, and at this moment it is also very handy to use local materials: Mr. built a fire to dry the coats of the two, fortunately the weather is not cold, and the clothes of the two are not heavy, and the underwear worn on the body is almost dry by the heat emitted by the fire.
Taking advantage of this, Sheng Sleeping Crane asked the fifth day of the first month to hunt a muntjac and two pheasants back.
Fearing that the spring would be polluted, Tete took the water from the spring and went to the middle of the stream in the sea, disemboweled, and rinsed it with the water of the stream.
In the middle, he fed the internal organs and water to the fifth day of the first month, and dug a bunch of chestnuts by the water to wash them and serve them as snacks for Sheng Weiqiao.
After packing up the prey, it was getting dark, and there was still no one on the beach, and the brother and sister both estimated that Gongsun Shu would not send a boat to pick him up today.
This is not surprising, Gongsun Shu knows that the cave in the valley has the necessary things for life, and he also knows how familiar Sheng Sleeping Crane is with this place, so he doesn't need to worry too much about picking up people a day or two later.
In contrast, the beaches connected by the valley cannot moor large boats, so it is more worth considering that Sheng Weiqiao, a delicate and expensive pearl in the palm of his hand, can take a small boat against the night.
So they didn't care about the fact that they would not be able to leave until at least tomorrow, so they moved the bonfire to the cave with great interest, and took spices and barbecued meat from the cave - these things were basically done by Sheng Sleeping Crane, Sheng Weiqiao grabbed the ground and pulled his sleeve to follow up, for fear that he would be taken away by the fifth day of the first month.
Speaking of which, this girl is dining in the wild for the second time in her life.
Compared with the last time in the cemetery by Sheng Sleeping Crane to rectify the miserable no appetite, at this moment the brother and sister are quite harmonious, the game is also quite good, the honey brushed barbecue is golden color, the aroma is attractive, the entrance is charred outside and tender inside, delicious - she ate happily, handed over the remaining few ground chestnuts to Sheng Sleeping Crane, and encouraged him to roast a piece to see, but when the roast came out, he found that there was a different flavor than eating raw, and said happily: "Before leaving tomorrow morning, let's dig a little more and take it back to roast!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled in response.
At this time, they are still very relaxed and happy.
But after dinner, Sheng Sleeping Crane came out of the cave and prepared to boil some hot water, so that Sheng Weiqiao could freshen up and bathe, and suddenly a strong wind blew on the sea, and the autumn leaves that had been shaken off by the collapse of the Tortoiseshell Peak for a while fell like rain again!
Sheng Sleeping Crane added Chai He's hand for a moment, and his face suddenly looked ugly!
Sheng Weiqiao, who was next to him, noticed it, and didn't know why: "What's wrong?"
"The wind is blowing on the sea. Sheng Sleeping Crane turned his head slightly, the bonfire shone on his face, dragging the thick and slender eyelashes out of a deep shadow, in the shadows his eyes were as cold as a knife, looking at the direction of the beach deeply, his expression was dull, for a long time, before he said lightly, "All the way through the forest to here, there is still such a momentum...... I'm afraid, we won't be able to go back tomorrow!"
"Anyway, there are a lot of prey in the valley, and there are fish and shrimp in the sea. Sheng Weiqiao was stunned when he heard this, and then comforted, "If you can't go back tomorrow, you can't go back, it's a big deal to be a day or two late, and we don't lack anything now-it's only September, and there is still half a year before the spring, so it's not in a hurry." ”
When she said this, she subconsciously glanced at the boiling water to hide her worries: there was indeed no shortage of food, but she did not bring a change of clothes dress into the valley, if she was forced to stay in the valley for a long time, how to solve this problem?
And Sheng Sleeping Crane didn't have time to think about his sister's troubles at the moment, and said quietly: "Although I am not good at predicting the weather, I know that there are many old people on the island who are good at this. Although it is not too safe to take a small boat at night, I thought that if the eldest brother knew that there would be a strong wind tonight, he would definitely send someone to pick us up immediately, and the big deal was to send a big boat to meet us from a distance, and we would not have been trapped here for a long time after all—but he didn't do it, good girl, you say, did he not want to do this, or did he not do it because he was too busy to take care of himself?"
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, thinking of his speculation, a chill suddenly rose from his backbone!
