Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Stone Chamber

The assembly in Liangjia Village is very lively, similar to the bonfire party of a few famous ethnic groups, or they are simply moved by ethnic minorities, many customs and etiquette, behavior and habits are completely different from those of the people under the mountain, but the clothes and costumes are the same!

Ling'er rarely encountered such a lively scene, so she let go of her hands and feet and played with the big guy, until she finally didn't know how she slept through! It seems that the voice of the village chief is still faintly heard?

When she woke up again, and found that her surroundings were dark and cold, she sat up and looked around, oh my God! Why is he still in the cave before he separated from the tiger boy? Didn't Fang Cai still participate in the bonfire party in Liangjia Village? Is it a dream? How can it be? It's so real!

Ling'er sat for a long time, suddenly jumped up to find her own things, and when she found the entrance to the cave, she saw a few big burdens on the ground, she quickly opened the baggage and rummaged through, her own tools were there, the short knife that the young man gave her was also there, and the extra few bags were full of herbs, wasn't that a thank you gift from the warehouse in Liangjia Village?

Ling'er was stunned, so what she saw and heard yesterday was not a dream? That... Then why did you wake up and go back to the cave? Did the people from Liangjia Village deliberately send them back? Why? Not welcoming yourself? Afraid to find out their secrets yourself? If so, why did you bring yourself into their village in the first place?

Ling'er was full of suspicion and decided to look for it according to the direction in her memory, and she searched along the woods one by one, trying to find the wooden bridge leading to Liangjia Village. As you can imagine, the surroundings are deserted, and there is no shadow of the wooden bridge to be found! It's weird, why is this happening? Then the people of Liangjia Village are just ordinary Orion medicine farmers? I don't believe it when she is killed!

Ling'er searched for a while, but there was really no way, she had to go back to the cave, carry a few big burdens on her back one by one, and slowly walk to the depths of the dense forest with the experience and intuition she had gained in the past half a day.

When her figure gradually disappeared, several tall or low figures walked out from behind the big tree near the cave, quietly looking at Ling'er's back for a long time, "Grandpa, why did you drive the little stone away?" I think he's pretty good! ”

"Yes, village chief, that kid doesn't look like a bad guy, he's still so young, he shouldn't be a spy, right?"

Village Chief Liang stood still for a moment with his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "She is not a boy, she is a girl; Hmph, at a young age, she didn't lose her mind when she arrived in the Misty Fragrance Valley, carrying hundreds of pounds but walking briskly, this girl is absolutely extraordinary! ”

"Grandpa, will you lose your mind if you go to Misty Fragrance Valley? Why am I all right after so many visits? ”

Village Chief Liang lowered his head and glared at him, and Yuan Bao immediately lowered his head weakly, and snorted: "I... I've only been there two or three times! ”

The village chief said lightly: "That's because there is an antidote in the sachet you are carrying!" ”

"That's... Village Chief, I... We'll take that girl back to the village without permission, aren't we......"

"Forget it, let's go back!"

Ling'er walked for more than an hour with the burden on her back, and finally heard the sound of a tuk tuk like a woodpecker pecking at the wood again. Ling'er is overjoyed, great, someone must be logging around here, and he can finally get out! She happily ran away with her baggage on her back, and soon found the person who cut down the tree.

"Uncle, uncle! Are you busy? ”

The lumberjack turned around and was stunned when he saw Ling'er, "Boy, where are you from?" What are you doing in the mountains and old forests? ”

"Oh, I went into the mountain to collect medicine for my father, and I just came from Liangjia Village, uncle, please ask, which way down the mountain is the fastest?"

"Over there, keep to the right, cross three intersections and go straight down to the mountain pass!"

"Thank you, uncle, you're busy!" Ling'er ran down with her burden on her back, looking like a little hamster carrying grain on her back from behind! The men stood and watched for a while, and one said, "Hey, big brother, there is still a Liangjia village in the mountains?" ”

"Liangjia Village? I don't know, I haven't heard of it! Maybe it's a small village down the hill! ”

"But that kid just now obviously came down from the mountain......"

"I don't know, whatever, come on, let's continue, we have to cut down this tree and shave it down before it gets dark!" A few men picked up their axes and continued to work. Ling'er trotted down the way according to the woodcutter's prompt, and met more and more people on the way, whether they knew each other or not, they all shouted and greeted each other, and after another corner, the large square of the mountain pass immediately jumped into his eyes.

She stopped to watch for a while, and when the woodcutter who passed by saw her, he shouted in a joking voice: "Hey, boy, don't run around, go down the hill quickly, and the big cat will come out as soon as it gets dark, beware of you going to dinner!" ”

Ling'er turned around and was stunned for a moment when she saw the woodcutter, this person was not someone else, it was Lin Shuxiong, one of the three brothers of the Lin family who met when he closed the mountain and advanced the mountain last year. The man paused when he saw her appearance, thought for a while, and said, "Hey, it looks a little familiar, which kid are you?" ”

Ling'er blinked: "Uncle Xiong, my aunt lives next door to your house!" ”

"Auntie? Oh, I see, you're the son of Aunt Ma's eldest brother, right? Hey, no wonder it's so familiar! Boy, what are you doing all the way in the mountains? Let's go back and stop running around! ”

"Got it, thank you Uncle Xiong, I'll go down the mountain right away!" Ling'er picked up the burden and ran away, Lin Shuxiong stood in place for a while, and said suspiciously: "Hey, isn't Ma Sangu's eldest brother's house in the county seat?" ”

Ling'er did not go down from the main road of the mountain pass, but took advantage of the fact that no one went into the forest, found the path she had opened from the bushes last year, and slowly walked in the direction of her house while tidying up.

When she came to the abandoned courtyard opposite the sinkhole, it was not too late, and the sun was still hanging in the sky, and now it would be troublesome to go back and meet the people in the village, so it would be better to rest here for a while, and then touch it home when it was dark.

She hid her baggage, circled around the abandoned yard twice, and when she walked to a room that looked like a utility room on the side, she suddenly felt a click under her feet, and she jumped away in fright.

Hey, what is it? Ling'er circled around the box, reached out to pick it, knocked it with a stick, and with a little force, there was another click, which startled her again! There's definitely something inside! Curious, she took out the sharp short knife and dug along the edge of the box, and after a while, the thing underneath was revealed, it was actually a wooden plank?

A chunk of plank? She quickly swept away all the dust along the edge of the plank, and it turned out to be a large plank with a small iron ring on it! Ling'er circled around the wooden board twice, grabbed the iron ring and lifted it hard, and the wooden board was lifted up with a click, and there was a black hole below.

She lay at the entrance of the cave and looked in for a long time, tsk, this is obviously a basement, it looks quite large? And lo and behold, there's a stone staircase to go down! She fetched a piece of dry firewood, lit a torch, and walked slowly down the stone stairs. When I fell to the ground, I found that this basement was different from the cellar of ordinary people's homes, the upper and lower walls were made of huge and solid stone bricks, and there was more than one stone room!

Ling'er suddenly felt nervous and excited all over her body, could it be that this is a treasure trove? It's amazing, if you can find the treasure, you will make a fortune! So she held up the torch, full of joy and care, and searched every corner of the stone chamber step by step.

Until an hour later, she sat down on the ground in a dejected ass, what treasure? Obviously there is nothing, just a few stone rooms, everywhere is empty, there is no harvest at all, let me work in vain!

Ling'er looked at the stone wall in a daze for a long time, and suddenly she jumped up, by the way, although I didn't find the treasure, but this place is so secret, and the facilities are not bad, isn't it just right to make a temporary shelter for yourself?

Happy, she carried a torch and searched several stone chambers a few more times, and chose one of them as her 'boudoir', planning to find some wood and hay to come in, and then spread a blanket and quilt, this is her temporary nest! Of course, the most important thing is to hide the import well, so that it can't be discovered casually!

Ling'er, who was busy covering her entrance, stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and found that the moon had climbed up the hill at this time, and her stomach was rumbling. By the way, I haven't eaten for most of the day, so let's go back quickly, right?

Ling'er hid the tools, carried a few large bags of herbs and went home, I don't know how the family has been doing in the past few days away from home? She climbed the big rock on the mountain behind her house and looked down for a long time, Wangjia Village was no different from before, with smoke curling from the rooftops of every house, lights on in the kitchen, and children playing in the yard.

And my yard is as quiet and tidy as ever, the kitchen and the hall are lit up, maybe now the old lady is busy in the kitchen, and the father is drinking a small bar in the hall?

She watched the area around the yard for a long time, and after making sure that there were no suspicious people, she crept down the hill and touched her yard. When she reached near the courtyard wall, she suddenly saw several people coming out of the hall:

"Village Chief, I'm bothering you, you better eat and leave, Ling'er has made all the dishes!"

"No need, I told my wife before I came that I wanted to go back to eat, and when I was free in the future, our brothers and sisters would have a few more drinks! Brother Yang, you don't have to worry about Ling'er, since you live in my Wangjia Village, you are from my Wangjia Village, we definitely can't let the Yan family bully you! When Ling'er comes back, don't drive her out again, she is a little girl doll, how can she survive outside? ”

"Yes, yes, what the village chief brother said, thank you village chief!"

"Grandpa Yang, Ling'er must tell her that I came to look for her when she comes back, or ask her to come to me, she hasn't come back for so long, and no one will play with me!"

"Okay, I'll tell her!" Dad sent the old village chief and Yue'er to the gate of the courtyard, and muttered for a long time before Yue'er helped the old village chief to gradually walk away.

The old man stood at the door for a long time, and the old lady came out: "His father, the village chief and Yue'er?" Why don't you leave them for dinner? ”

"Stay, the village chief said that Sister-in-law Gui cooked and waited at home, next time I came, our family doesn't have anything good to greet people, wait for the next time I prepare to talk about it!"

"Alas! We have nothing better than Ling'er, but it's a pity that she wanders around at a young age, she can't go back to her home, she can't live in a house, and she doesn't know what happened when she went out for a few days? Where did you go? Are you hungry or freezing? ”

The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes, hesitated slightly, pulled her father's sleeve and said, "His father, or... Let's get Ling'er back, shall we? (To be continued.)
