Unprepared, Qing Haichao was shocked by the fierce power hidden in the outer shield of the stone pile and flew out. At www.biquge.info the same time, the pen %fun %pavilion exclaimed, "Bang! With a thud, the out-of-control body fell heavily on the ground under the old tree a few meters away.

Then, I saw him rub the back of his aching head in shock, and I wanted to get up. However, at this moment, his gaze inadvertently swept over the Huoyan fruit tree above his head, and he made a new discovery.

Between the thick branches of the old tree, there is a very simple and delicate wooden box. The wooden box was surrounded by layers of fiery red and bewitching fruits, which was very secretive. If it weren't for the fact that Qing Haichao just fell under the wooden box, I am afraid that he would never have thought that there would be a wooden box hidden in the vigorous and upright old tree.

Qing Haichao quietly looked at the dark mahogany box, slowly stood up, and couldn't help but say secretly: "The sealed hole and the wooden box on the tree, could it be that the person who carved the words on the stone wall left them?" ”

Qing Haichao knew that the sealed hole had been covered by a protective air shield, which was the so-called seal. The only hope of getting out of the predicament at the moment was finally completely cut off. I couldn't help but feel lost and despaired.

He reluctantly tried several times, trying to open the dusty hole. But every time his palm didn't touch the pile of rocks, he was shocked back by the fierce air shield on the periphery. After many temptations, I saw that it was ineffective, and I couldn't help despairing.

Qing Haichao was disappointed and retreated listlessly to the side. Thinking of his parents at home far away, he choked up and said, "Daddy! Auntie! Chao'er is not filial! I'm afraid I won't be able to honor your second elder in the future. ”

As he spoke, Qing Haichao's desperate and gloomy eyes swept the general situation in the cave again.

I saw that there were no more cracks in the hard and intact walls of the ancient cave. The rock wall at the top of the cave is unclimbable, but it is also very solid and solid, and there is no road to the outside world.

Closed ancient caves, desperate situation. Do you have to spend your whole life in this dark cave?

insisted all the way, and Qinghai Chao, who never gave up, finally collapsed to the ground like a deflated skin. He leaned against the huge Huoyan fruit tree, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Qing Haichao's eyes were dead, and he muttered to himself, smelling the faint aroma of aging around the old tree, and felt that his eight veins seemed to be faintly flowing with an unusually comfortable warm current. The large and small wounds on his body also seemed to have a subtle tingling itch, which made him feel relieved physically and mentally, and he fell asleep unconsciously......

On that day, the bitter cold wind whistled through the winding corridor as usual, and the vast snow quietly swept through the entire Optimus City at some point.

Snowflakes fluttered in the sky, scattering and falling on the bare branches of the trees in the backyard; It also falls on the antique promenade of the city; It also fell on the silent man in front of the flower tree.

The man wore a large white cotton jacket and a cotton hat sewn from white fluff. Standing quietly under the plum tree in the wind and snow, looking at the plum blossoms blooming on the tree thoughtfully.

"Xianggong! It's cold outside, so be careful of catching a cold. Let's go back to the house first! ”

A beautiful woman in a pale pink brocade dress was standing under the corridor, looking at the motionless man under the plum tree with tender eyes, and said softly.

Directly in front of the man was a red plum tree. The red plum is blooming with a strong and proud flower at the moment, and quietly puts on a cold and cold clothes.

The plum blossoms are very beautiful and fragrant, at the moment when the snowflakes fall. It seems to be like a young girl with a twisted expression who is shy, and her face is flushed with a faint flush, which is very beautiful and seductive.

"Yingying, I'm fine!" The man under the tree heard the woman's voice, turned his head slowly, and said with a faint smile.

At this moment, the light laughter of children suddenly came from the winding corridor.

A boy in a white velvet jacket jumped up, humming nursery rhymes all the way, and ran to the side of the fair woman under the corridor.

"Auntie, why is my father standing in the yard on such a cold day?"

"Your father is contemplating the phrase 'there is plum in the snow, and there is no snow in the plum'."

"Then why does Daddy want to go to enlightenment?"

"Because this is a problem given to him by a master whom he respects very much."

"Huh?" Qing Haichao looked at his father standing in the wind and snow in confusion, and continued: "Chao'er has always had a question in her heart, I wonder if A-Niang can solve the doubt?" ”

Hearing this, Xi Yingying gently stroked Qing Haichao's soft hair, and smiled slightly: "You should talk about it." ”

"Why do Daddy and Auntie like this flower tree so much?"

Xi Yingying was stunned at first, as if she didn't expect the child in front of her to ask such a question. Then, seeing her clear eyes, she turned slightly, quietly looked at the flowers and trees in the yard, and said slowly: "Plum blossoms are the most tenacious flowers and the most selfless flowers." It is indifferent to fame and fortune, not afraid of frost and cold, and does not hesitate to leave fragrance in the world. In fact, what A-Niang admires most about it is its strength and fearlessness. May's noble qualities are what most of us lack. So, Chao'er, you have to remember one sentence. ”

Hearing this, Qing Haichao raised his round face and looked curiously at his loving mother in front of him: "What are the words?" Auntie! ”

"Be a man! Such as the courage of Mei! Such as the strength of the plum! Like the fragrance of plums! ”

Qing Haichao listened, but his brows frowned slightly: "Auntie! I still don't understand what you mean by that. ”

"A-Niang means to be like Mei. We must learn from its bravery, its strength, and its pride in purity and pride. No matter how difficult or desperate your situation is in the future, you must think about it. Mei, why is it in the cold winter when the flowers are withering, standing proudly in the wind and snow. That's because it's strong enough, it's confident enough......"

……

"Be a man like a plum, confident enough! Strong enough! ”

In the haze, Qing Haichao muttered repeatedly. The chapped lips oozed dark red blood, and they were already swollen.

I don't know how long it took, but he slowly opened his eyes, but he saw that his surroundings were still red. It's just that in his originally empty and godless gaze, there was suddenly an indescribable look of difference.

Qing Haichao pursed his dry and itchy lips, leaning against the old tree behind him and trying to stand up. It's just that as soon as he held on to the old tree and straightened up half of his body, he suddenly fell to his knees and sat down on the ground.

He gasped for breath, and although he felt that the wound on his body was no longer painful, he felt that his whole body could not lift any strength.

"Gollum! Grunt! ”

His stomach barked uncontrollably, and Qing Haichao realized that he hadn't eaten or eaten for many days. It's just that the previous dangers were one after another, and he was bent on taking medicine to survive. With his life at stake, where could he care about his hungry stomach.

At this point, there is no danger around. He was trapped beneath the bottomless ground, and his hopes of escape were long gone. Thinking of the words of his mother in Fang Cai's recollection, I was deeply touched in my heart.

"That's right! I can't give up, I must get out alive! ”

Qing Haichao continued to cheer himself up in the depths of his heart, so he made up his mind and slowly untied the fire fruit hanging on his waist, and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it.

I saw that the shell of the fruit faintly exuded a faint halo of fire, and in the layers of scales, there was a ball of fresh and tender flesh.

Qing Haichao followed the gap in the scales, looked at the fat and tender flesh inside, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Then he looked up at the large piece of fruit on the old tree not far away, and then slowly broke off the layers of scales of the fruit with peace of mind, stuffed the soft and round flesh into his mouth, chewed a few bites and swallowed it.
