Chapter 2 Treasure Hunt
The next day. As soon as the sky was bright, Zhang Niu got up. Since he was a child, he was not very accustomed to spending the night at other people's houses.
The aunt was busy feeding the three piglets in the pigsty. Rural women wake up early, light a fire to cook, and generally cook porridge. After boiling the rice in a large pot, remove the cooked rice with a bamboo basket. Place in an iron basin. Pour some more water into a small pot. Put the basin in the water. In this way, there is porridge and rice. When I come back at noon, the meal is usually hot, so I don't have to cook much. People in the countryside generally like to do this.
Zhang Niu washed his face. Xiao Er came downstairs. He took me aside and asked me why I didn't wake him up last night.
Breakfast was porridge, and there was a stack of sauerkraut and a stack of pickled radishes on the table, all of which were ordinary dishes, and Zhang Niu ate them with relish.
After eating, Zhang Niu said to Xiao Er, who was still struggling to eat, "He really saw it last night." It's the same as you said. ”
"Now you know what I'm saying, yes," he said, adding food to the bowl.
"Xiao Er, do you want to go to the foot of Daliang Mountain at night and stay near the pond to see what it is. If it's a baby, we'll be rich, don't we," Zhang Niu said to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er squirted out the porridge that had been drunk to his lips when he heard this. Xin Hao sat far away, or Zhang Niu would have suffered. Xiao Er touched the rice grains on the side of his mouth. Ran over and touched my forehead. "You didn't burn it. If you want to find death, don't pull me, every time I go out with you, it's not good, and I still remember the middle school. You're the one who brought me bad. I'm not going. If you want to go yourself, I want to live a few more years.
Zhang Niu saw that he was not going, and there was no way to ask him to hold a knife on his neck. "Forget it. He went by himself, and when he arrived, don't cry for me.
Xiao Er shook his head. "I won't."
Zhang Niu saw that the time was not early, and said hello. Drag out the bike and ride it in the direction of home. Xiao Er to Zhang Niu's house is a few kilometers of road, usually the weather is fine on the road, rainy days all the way to the mud puddle wheels are mud can only be used to push and walk.
Since he was going to go on an adventure in the evening, Zhang Niu was in a particularly happy mood. Last night he thought about it all night before deciding to check it out. Maybe I've read too many novels, and I always think that some baby was born. This may be a common problem of reading novels.
Just arrived home. Only then did he find his sister, who was waiting for me under the jujube tree in front of the door. As soon as Zhang Niu got out of the car, his sister ran over. Pulling the corner of his coat, he said, "Brother." You went there yesterday. Niu Niu misses you. "Make a look like you miss me.
Zhang Niu touched the little sister's head. Take out the twist and shortbread from the back rack of the car and hand it to her. She took her things and ran to the back room. "Mom. Mom. My brother bought me something to eat......"
His little sister is like this, every time she goes to the market, she has to clamo for him to buy something to eat. If you forget it once. I ran into your arms and cried, and I didn't talk to you for a few days.
There is only Zhang's mother at home, and Zhang's father has gone out. Zhang's mother asked Zhang Niu where he went yesterday. He said that yesterday he met Xiao Er from the next village and stayed at his house for one night.
There was nothing to do at home, so Zhang Niu ran to the grocery store. I took out the earthen fishing rod I had made myself and decided to go fishing by the creek outside the village. Run to the pigsty in the backyard. Pick up the bamboo pole next to it. Dig into the soil a few times. They turned out the earthworms one by one. Generally, there are many earthworms next to the pigsty and they are large.
When they came to the stream, there were already some old people fishing. Why are there so many people today? Let's find a place with fewer people.
I found a shady place and made it on the ground. Bait. Swing the rod. I saw only buoys, floating in the water. The water in this place is not in a hurry, and the buoys are not washed away, so you don't have to worry. Maybe it's due to technical issues. After fishing for most of the day, there was nothing but earthworms. I was depressed. It seems that he is not fishing material.
So he took the rod and left. Throw the rest of the earthworms directly into the stream and get annoyed when you look at them.
Zhang Niu looked at a few children not far away. Catch a few small crucian carp one after another. Look at the bucket of water in your bucket. Hurry home. I'm embarrassed to stay here.
When I got home, my little sister was not there, and I should have run out with a group of wild girls again.
Drink a few sips of water. I haven't prepared anything for an expedition at night. I ran to the grocery room and rummaged around. Finally turned over an 8o cm long hollow steel pipe in a corner. Let go and put it down. It's okay to use you as a weapon at night. I also went to my father's room and took out the battery lamp. It's okay to turn on the light, and you don't need to charge it.
Night fell quickly. The little birds who had been busy for the day also flew back to the nest.
After dinner, I said hello, took the battery, the lamp and the steel pipe, and went out through the back door. Walk towards Daliang Mountain. Zhang Niu's house is relatively close to Daliang Mountain, and a winding path leads to the foot of the mountain. From afar, it looks like a guide to hell.
It's terrible to be quiet along the way. I couldn't help but hold the steel pipe in my hand tightly.
After walking for hours, I finally reached the bottom of the mountain. Follow the forked road next to it and walk towards the pond. Knock on the weeds on the side of the road from time to time. I'm afraid that some animals will accidentally come out, so let's start with a grass starter.
When I came to the pond, I shone it in the water with a battery. There's nothing special about it, it's just that the water is clearer than usual.
A tall fly tree was chosen. Like a monkey, he slid up the tree, and the tree branched out many times. Not as brittle as some trees. If you don't break all the nearby branches with a steel pipe, you will sting the green worms on the leaves, and the taste will be like covering the bees. Green worms like to hang on this leaf. Pale green does not look closely. I really can't see it.
Sit on a forked tree pole, turn off the lights, and suddenly be overwhelmed by the night. All that remained was a few cries that came from time to time in the distance.
When I looked up, I realized that the moon was very bright today. Shine in a small pond. Form a small mirror of light. With the breeze blowing across the water. There were small silver waves in circles.
Zhang Niu looked at his watch, it was only past eleven o'clock. It's still early.
Time flies by in waiting. At one o'clock in the morning, the temperature in the mountains cooled down.
The white pillar of light reappeared.
This time, Zhang Niu could clearly see that this mysterious pillar of light was reflected from the pond on the tree. The entire surface of the water is constantly changing colors. He hid in a tree. Feel the breath on the other side. It felt very comfortable. It's like sleeping in your mother's arms. I almost fell headlong off a tree. After the purple color passes, it slowly dissipates.
Today, if you look closely, you will see that it is not dissipating, but a pillar of light, and it returns to the water. It's like something is being absorbed back. The edge of the pond is back to its original appearance. I couldn't tell that a mysterious pillar of light had appeared here just now.
In just half an hour, Zhang Niu witnessed the most mysterious thing in the world.
Wait for the mood to calm down. Only then did he know that he had a big baby, and maybe he could reach it overnight.
At this time, Zhang Niu did not appear, and the water hyacinth in the water was blooming inadvertently. Split into small water hyacinths.
It's still early. Hurry back and go treasure hunting early tomorrow morning.
Zhang Niu, who returned home, fell asleep directly. It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when I got up. When I woke up, I was in good spirits today.
I didn't eat anything, so I ran to the foot of the mountain, and it was already past two o'clock when I arrived. Stand by the pond. The water is relatively clear. But I didn't see anything obvious...... I walked around the pond and saw a clump of water hyacinth not far from the middle. The lilac flowers are really blooming, and only the ones in the vicinity stand out from the crowd. Anyone who is not stupid can show up.
Zhang Niu did a warm-up exercise and took off his shirt and pants. I'm wearing a pair of boxers. "Plop" jumped into the water. Stir up a big splash. The water was cold but very comfortable. The pond is not about two and a half meters deep. When Zhang Niu swam to the cluster of water hyacinths and picked up the water hyacinth, the root system was much thicker, and new white roots had grown. This thing is exposed to the sun and dried. Once put into the water, it can re-bud is the most long-lived, but it is useless and can only be used occasionally to feed ducks.
Zhang Niu threw the small gourd aside and looked down, because the water was relatively clear, he could still vaguely see a light blue box buried in the bottom of the sand. There was a faint white glow.
This is a mysterious object that emits a mysterious pillar of light? Take it up first, Zhang Niu took a deep breath. A dive, a dive.
When near the box. The same breath as yesterday appeared. When the hand touches the box. Suddenly, a cool breath came from the bottom up. If Zhang Niu is on the shore, he will definitely say two words comfortably.
Scoop up the box. Zhang Niu shook it very lightly, and it was uncomfortable just now, as soon as he touched the box, it seemed to be as comfortable as being on the 6th ground.
