Chapter 265: The Willows and Flowers
Since seeing Ranran's fierce insect-eating skills, the three men didn't dare to underestimate Ranran, and even avoided it in their hearts. They couldn't imagine a little girl who looked fairly good-eyed, and even talked about such things as bugs.
So much so that Gu Lianzhao had to carefully check that there were no strange creatures before bringing back the food every time he dared to give it to Ranran. It's one thing to look nauseous, this inexplicable thing eats into the stomach, in case of poisoning or eating bad stomach, it will be troublesome.
After filling her stomach, Ranran's mood seemed very happy, and even fleeing was like an outing in the wild, but Nanshan and Gu Lianzhao stared at her all the way and threw things into their mouths at any time.
Ran Ran was a little depressed in her heart, but she ate a bee worm and chewed a few greasy salty grass roots, and she was stunned to treat her as a monster, and asked her to only see and not move.
It was precisely because of Ranran's condition that everyone seemed to have forgotten about the pursuers behind them, until they came to the end, looking at the towering cliffs all around, Gu Lianzhao looked at Shu Yan in confusion.
"The sixth master seems to have no way forward."
Shu Yan pointed to the end, and the memory in his mind seemed to return to his eyes, "There should be a cave ahead, I remember that I hid in the cave and escaped." "I didn't expect him to come here again after so long.
When everyone heard this, they walked to the end, and sure enough, they saw a cave on the left, the entrance of the cave was large enough to walk into two adult elephants at the same time, but because it was on the side of the mountain, standing in the distance, they did not find it.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, I felt a little uneasy, and there was hardly any light in the cave. The surrounding mountains were so high that the sun barely shone seven or eight paces away, and there was no way in.
Ran Ran swallowed. Seeing Shu Yan's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but wonder: "It's so dark in the cave, are you sure you really escaped from it?" ”
Shu Yan nodded firmly: "Sure." ”
He ran in with the same idea at that time, only thinking that he could avoid the pursuers behind, and did not think about anything else. The size of the cave and the rugged terrain were rare, and he almost thought he was going to be trapped in the cave. I didn't expect the cave to figure it out, and out of the cave, I also came out of Donglu Mountain.
Ran Ran was still not convinced that this cave was secretly like this. I can't even see the road, how can I escape, "Then how did you get caught." ”
Asked this, Shu Yan's eyes darkened. Lowering his eyes and smiling bitterly: "After I escaped." In the name of arresting the fugitives, he sealed off all the roads in the vicinity, waiting for me to throw myself into the net. ”
Unexpectedly, after experiencing a lifetime of escape, he was ambushed by someone outside the city, and he would rather hide on this East Furnace Mountain, at least not in the humiliating prison disaster later.
Seeing Shu Yan's expression of loss, Ran Ran was a little unbearable. But if Shu Yan was also caught after escaping last time, then King Jing wouldn't have done it again this time. "Then will we be caught when we go out this time?"
"Let's go out first!" Gu Lianzhao had already prepared, made two simple torches, handed one to Nanshan, and took the lead in entering the cave.
Fortunately, after listening to Shu Yan's words, he put the horse outside the cave, and the ground was rugged, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and it was not at all as tall and magnificent as the entrance of the cave seemed to be. The stalactites on the top of the cave are in pieces, and some grow directly from the top of the cave to the ground, forming a stone pillar. There were only a limited number of places that could be illuminated by the fire, but they were amazed enough to see that even Shu Yan who entered the cave for the second time was secretly shocked.
They walked for a long time, and the darkness in the cave had made them forget the time, and seeing that the torches were about to be extinguished, and the cave was still not finished, everyone's hearts began to sink.
Suddenly, Gu Lianzhao's footsteps stopped, and his heart was cold. Instead of a rugged mountain road, there was no end to the water, and they had no tools to get through the lake
"Sixth master, I can't get by." Gu Lianzhao squinted at Shu Yan and saw that he also had a surprised expression, as if things were unexpected.
Shu Yan stood at the water's edge, suddenly a little stunned, he clearly remembered that the river below did not have so much water, at most it was knee-high, why was there a lake in front of him.
"I don't know why this is happening, it wasn't like this last time, there is indeed a river ahead, but the river is not deep and not urgent." Shu Yan looked a little uneasy.
"I don't know how deep the water is." Ran Ran made a fuss at the beginning, but now she has calmed down, she squatted at the water's edge, picked up a small stone on the ground, and threw it in.
Shu Yan thought that Ran Ran was going to go into the water, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't go down, at least you have to go deep." ”
Ran Ran quietly listened to the sound of the stone entering the water, and counted the numbers silently in her heart, until a muffled sound made the stone fall to the ground. Although there was a little noise through the water, it was quiet enough in the cave that I could barely hear the movement.
She couldn't calculate the exact depth, but the only thing she knew for sure was that if she wasn't familiar with the nature of the water, she would probably drown. She stood up, looked at the dimly lit torches, and said calmly, "Why don't we go out and find some materials to see if we can make a raft or something?" ”
"It seems that this is the only way to go."
Ranran's proposal was unanimously agreed by everyone, rather than staying here without food and light, it is better to go outside the cave, at least with a more sense of security on the ground.
Because the torches were about to be extinguished, the pace of the people was much faster, at least half the time shorter than when they entered the cave, but by the time they came out, it was already dark.
After nightfall, the mountain was particularly cold, they did not dare to hesitate, and the troops were divided into three ways, Shu Yan and Ran Ran stayed in place to make a fire, while Gu Lian Zhao and Nanshan were responsible for finding food and wood.
Nanshan accidentally caught two pheasants and a rabbit, so that Ranran, who had not smelled meat for many days, suddenly opened her index fingers, she didn't even pluck the hair, only asked Nanshan to bleed the pheasants and cut them open, and roasted them directly on the fire.
Watching Ran Ran fiddle with the fire while explaining the twelve practices of pheasants and the various habits of rabbits, Shu Yan was a little curious: "Where did you learn the skills, how do you understand everything." ”
Ran Ran was tearing off a chicken leg, carefully plucking the feathers with hot air, and replied vaguely: "I grew up in the mountains, of course I understand." ”
"Do you teach how to make rafts in the mountains?" Shu Yan gestured with his eyes to the suggestion raft built by Ran Ran's guidance, Gu Lianzhao and Nanshan, "Which gentleman can teach so many things." ”
Ran Ran suddenly realized that Gu Lianzhao and Nanshan were also looking at her at the same time, and her heart was empty, she couldn't say that it was taught by Bei Ye. She coughed embarrassedly, "Ahem, what's inside, the children of poor families are in charge of the house early, and they have to learn everything, I just heard that I haven't done it myself." No, I have to rely on you for everything! ”
Regardless of whether they believe it or not, Ran Ran pretended not to care, and continued to fight for pheasant legs, but scolded Shu Yan a hundred times in his heart.
Looking at Ranran's petite back, Shu Yan suddenly chuckled and said, "You're so interesting, no wonder Zheng'er likes you." ”
Ran Ran rolled her eyes angrily, "Thank you for the compliment, Zheng'er likes me, probably because he looks at me good-looking." ”
I didn't expect Ran Ran to boast so much, Shu Yan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you may look better if you grow up for a few more years." ”
She was furious, turned her head with a chicken leg in her mouth and asked, "You mean to say that I am ugly now!" "I don't want to think that he has survived until now, and who is responsible for such delicious pheasant legs.
Shu Yan ignored her glare, put away her laughter, and her lips still went up, "That's not it, you are still a girl now, and if you look beautiful in a few more years, it will be different." ”
But this made Gu Lianzhao on the side panic, he couldn't wait to tell Ran Ran to be quieter, the more she behaved, the more Shu Yan looked at her with appreciation. He wasn't sure what Shu Yan was thinking, so he was afraid to go with him.
Ran Ran thought about it, turned her head and continued to nibble on the chicken legs, "You mean that the eighteenth change of the female college student, forget it, I reluctantly praise me." But you used to be like a stuffy duck, and now you are so verbose, you are really strange. ”
Gu Lianzhao was so anxious that he interrupted her, "Ranran, don't be rude!" ”
It's just that Shu Yan didn't care about Ranran's presumptuousness at all, but said calmly: "Now I am also a grass people, just like you, I don't have to be rigid about small things." ”
The more Shu Yan was like this, the more Gu Lianzhao didn't dare to agree: "Sixth Master, don't do it!" ”
Ran Ran looked at Gu Lianzhao puzzled, and was confused by his changes in the past few days, "Gu Lianzhao, I said when did you become so turtle hair, don't you usually see that you are very jumpy, why are you like a dog's leg now." ”
Gu Lianzhao glared at her, and when he saw her unceremoniously returning, he cursed in his heart, got up and left. (To be continued......)
