Chapter 19: Returning to the Heart
"Rhubarb, you're amazing, how did you find such a nice place." Yingle hugged the head of the yellow tiger and rubbed it affectionately, this place is the ideal paradise!
She had always wanted to build a house in the mountains, but if the war really broke out and the whole society was in turmoil, she would be able to take her family into the mountains to escape and live a pastoral life in Tao Yuanming's writing.
But that was just a thought, she knew very well how difficult it was to build a house in Baihu Mountain, even if she sold the coral tree and had enough money, her dream of building a house would still not be easy to achieve.
This is an old forest in the deep mountains, and the transportation of materials is extremely inconvenient, and it is impossible for the workers who build the house to risk their lives to work in the deep mountains with her, and no matter how high the salary is, it must have a life flower, so she only dares to think about it herself, and has never seen a trace in front of the Shen family, after all, it has not come in troubled times, has it?
I heard people say that there was a war there, and it was captured by the rebels, and there was a riot again, but Qingchengzhou has been relatively peaceful because of the terrain, and the war has not really ignited, so when the people in the city mention the war, it is more of a kind of gossip after dinner, and no one really thinks that the war will burn here.
Why, because Qingchengzhou is the fief of the Duke of Qi, who is the Duke of Qi, that is the god of war of their Darong Dynasty, the ancestral mansion of the Guogong Mansion is built in Xicheng, which one who is not long-sighted dares to come to their Qingchengzhou to fight, that is not looking for death by himself, forcing the Nangong clan to kill him.
After seeing the cave in front of him, all the difficulties have been solved, here is hidden and safe, the environment is beautiful, the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, and there is a water source, it is simply too suitable for human habitation, Yingle happily wants to hug the yellow tiger and roar a few times, since she met the rhubarb family, her good luck seems to be better.
The yellow tiger didn't understand why the owner was suddenly so excited, it stretched out its tiger claws and pulled it down against the cave wall, a cluster of red chicken-heart-like fungi was pulled out, and the rhubarb stretched out his tongue and rolled it into his mouth to swallow it.
That's right, the yellow tiger turned around here to eat the heart grass, this herb is very good for the animal's body, after eating, there will be no illness, the rhubarb himself is full, and he did not forget to bring some back to the white tiger and the little tiger.
Yingle was immediately attracted by the red color of the mushroom-like plant, which is the heart of the grass, not only can treat all kinds of heart disease, but also can tonify the kidneys and strengthen the yang, strengthen the muscles and bones, because of the effect is significant, also called the rejuvenation grass.
Good things, good things, regardless of Rhubarb's resentful eyes, Yingle began to pick Huixin grass everywhere in the cave, it's not that she has to grab food from the tiger, it's really that the herbs are precious and uncommon, so she has to hurry up and replenish them in the portable medicine box, and she can't let the yellow tiger all clean Huo Huo.
Roar, after eating the rhubarb of the heartfelt grass to the river and drink water, he flicked his tail and called Shangyingle to continue walking deeper into the cave, "Rhubarb, how far is it inside, is it time to go home?" ”
Following Huang Hu in the labyrinthine fork in the cave, Yingle felt that the air was getting fresher and fresher, the ground under his feet was uneven, the path was getting narrower and narrower, and finally only one person was allowed to pass, but there was no feeling of suffocation in his chest, the touch of the breeze was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that another exit was not far ahead.
The dazzling light came, Yingle blocked his eyes with his hands and walked out of the cave, his feet suddenly emptied, and his body kept falling down, "I'll go!" "There is no road outside the entrance of the cave, but a huge sinkhole, it's over, it's over, it's over, and it's a small life to fall like this.
At the last moment, Huang Hu jumped and bit the girl's trouser leg, Yingle instantly touched a vine on the cliff wall, and after climbing up again, the girl who was lying on the ground panting picked up a stone and threw it into the sinkhole in front of her, and it took a long time to hear the echo coming.
"How deep does this have to be, Rhubarb, what are you bringing me here for, are we going down?" Yingle stood up and patted the dirt off his body, carefully observing the surroundings of the sinkhole.
It's not impossible to go down, the sinkhole is surrounded by a dark green unknown vine, and it should be possible to slide down with the help of the vine with her light footwork, and then climb up.
Roaring roar, the yellow tiger's two front paws grabbed a vine, and the two hind paws continued to exert force on the cliff, and the entire tiger body slowly slid down, so it was okay, Yingle was stunned, and then grabbed a vine and slid down.
She wanted to see what treasures were worth Rhubarb's effort to lure her down, the cliff was slippery and covered with green moss, and Ying Le was able to breathe inside, and slid down quickly with her soft footwork, and one man and one tiger seemed to be in a race, and they all reached the bottom of the sinkhole in about two quarters of an hour.
Roaring roar, the yellow tiger flicked his tail to urge the girl to act faster, and if she didn't hurry up, she couldn't go home in time, Yingle saw this figure flickering and sat on the tiger's back, touched the neck of the yellow tiger, and the rhubarb suddenly jumped out quickly, the space at the bottom of the sinkhole was not large, and a man and a tiger came to the end, looking at the cave in front of him, Yingle frowned slightly, why is there a cave here.
Rhubarb carried the girl into the cave, Yingle suddenly stopped breathing for a while, and the pavilions and pavilions were faintly exposed in the wall made of red bricks and green tiles, who built such a simple and elegant house here?
With this question, she pushed open the mahogany door and walked inside, five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, the simple and elegant garden building with a heavy historical atmosphere like a picture scroll slowly unfolded in front of her eyes.
Suddenly, a giggling sound attracted Yingle's attention, and the wild monkeys from nowhere saw someone coming in, and they all ran out to circle around her, and the yellow tiger who followed the girl seemed to be very familiar with these monkeys, rolling up the fruit handed by the wild monkey and eating it sweetly, and the little monkey chirped behind Yingle and didn't know what to discuss with his partner.
"Rhubarb, let's go back." The place is good, the house is also beautifully built, but unfortunately it has been abandoned for too long, not suitable for moving in directly, turning the garden around, Yingle waved goodbye to the wild monkeys, and left the sinkhole with the yellow tiger.
Back in the cave on the ground, Yingle didn't continue to dwell on the house found in the sinkhole, maybe there were still many secrets waiting for her to explore, but it was not early today, she didn't want to go home too late, and it made Shen and her younger siblings worried.
In the afterglow of the sunset, Huang Hu carried the girl over the mountains and mountains, climbed one mountain after another, and when the last ray of sunlight disappeared, Yingle waved goodbye to Rhubarb, took out the bamboo basket from the storage compartment and carried it again, and she stepped on the rugged mountain road out of the Cui Yan Mountain.
"The eldest sister is back." As soon as they reached the door of the house, the younger brothers and sisters ran out holding hands, and the two little guys looked straight into the sister's back basket, and the eagerness and curiosity on their faces made Yingle amused.
