Chapter 558: A Light Like a Bean
At nightfall, the rain finally stopped. The breeze is coming, the air is fresh, and the world is clear, as if it has been scrubbed. The stars came out, and the insects began to sing in their own style. It's a peaceful and enchanting night.
Xu Wenlong had already lit a fire on the platform. The blazing fire illuminated the entire cave, dispelling the thousands of years of desertion and loneliness in the cave, and becoming bright, warm and warm.
After Yu Wenli lowered her head and compromised, she pinched Xu Wenlong a few times in her resentment and resentment, and sprinkled for a while, and finally looked sleepy, and was carried by Xu Wenlong to her sleeping hole, and shouted "don't go, don't go" from time to time in her dreams.
Alas, who called you a little girl so hot and stubborn? Don't scare and scare, don't you turn the sky upside down? However, Rao is like this, Xu Wenlong still feels very guilty, especially self-blame, and his heart is flustered and looks particularly uneasy.
When the first batch of roast pork emitted a rich and unique aroma, Yu Wenli woke up, smiling and waking up as if nothing happened. As soon as he came, he grabbed a piece of freshly baked barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it with a painful and hearty scream, and then kept opening his mouth to breathe cold.
Xu Wenlong looked at her lovingly and said, "Slow down, slow down, there is pork, and there are at least twenty catties of bones removed." ”
Yu Wenli glanced at Xu Wenlong, pouted and said angrily: "If I don't slow down, I have to hurry up, what's the matter?" "Isn't it, just now I bowed my head and admitted defeat in front of him, and now I have to find a way to earn some face? But having said that, she still slowly retracted the hand that had just stretched out to grab the meat, and even asked Xu Wenlong softly, "Do you want me to help?" Set the fire, add firewood or grill meat? ”
"Let's barbecue, turn the meat on the shelf when it's almost time." Xu Wenlong smiled with relief, picked up the fat next to him, and prepared to boil the lard because of the ugliness.
Yu Wenli became obedient again, quiet, gentle and gentle, and learned Xu Wenlong to roast meat. What only makes people doubt is that the image of this good boy doesn't know how long it can last, for a moment? An hour? Or a night? It is estimated that by the next day at most, it will automatically restore the terrifying original form of the brutal and spicy princess.
Xu Wenlong found an ultra-thin stone slab that was more than a foot square, calcined it on the fire with an oblique frame, and placed the canned food box at the bottom of the inclined end. When the slate is hot, spread the fat on the slate one by one.
As the smoke rose, the cave was filled with an extremely tempting smell of meat, and the lard that had been scorched and roasted fell drip by drop down the sloping slate into the canning box. Until the fat is charred and there is no more fat, another batch is spread. In less than an hour, all the fat meat was boiled, and a tin can of lard was collected.
This simple and fruitful scene made Yu Wenli stunned and surprised, and even forgot to turn the meat that had been roasting in her hand. It wasn't until the wooden stick caught fire and the scorched thorns that she screamed, threw away the stick and meat, jumped far to the side and blamed Xu Wenlong and said: "It's all your fault, you almost burned my hands!" ”
Xu Wenlong didn't think it was a fool and smiled. He placed the lard he had collected securely in a crack in the stone, found a large stone with a depression of more than a finger in the middle, poured it full of lard to serve as a lampholder, and took a few dried thatches, twisted them together and kneaded them a few times, and made them into a wick. Put the wick into the lamp base, take a burning branch and light it, and an oil lamp is made. Although the lights are dim and glowing like beans, they still make people feel comforted, feel peaceful, and feel the warmth of home.
Seeing this, Yu Wenli, who was depressed, couldn't help clapping her hands and cheering: "Oh, there is a lamp, there is a lamp, the everlasting lamp that has not been extinguished for thousands of years has been lit!" Say goodbye to the darkness, walk to the light, and live a happy and fulfilling life! ”
Xu Wenlong smiled, lifted the huge oil lamp, carefully placed it in Yu Wenli's leeward cave, and then nodded and said with great satisfaction: "Well, good, very good." It's sheltered and dry, so as long as there's oil and wick, there's no need to worry about the lights going out. ”
"Yes, yes," Yu Wenli, who followed behind his buttocks, blurted out, "The lights are there, and the lights are dead!" ”
"You ......" Xu Wenlong's heart sank, he reached out and knocked her forehead a few times, and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking nonsense here?" Foolish talkers, and don't be afraid to flash your tongue. ”
Yu Wenli grinned, spread her hands and replied innocently, "Can I be blamed for this?" It's all your own words! The wind doesn't blow or rain here, and the oil lamp never goes out. But there is always a chance in everything, if the lights go out one day, it must be a ghost in the cave, and it is definitely blown out by a ghost! Do you know that the ghost blows the lamp? Make up for it yourself. ”
"Go aside, I'm going to barbecue." Xu Wenlong glared at Yu Wenli, stepped away from her cave, sat back beside the burning fire, picked up the meat strips and continued to roast.
Yu Wenli began to barbecue with great interest, but as time slowly faded and the night gradually deepened, her expression became more and more uneasy, and she circled around the fire, getting rid of an ant on a hot pot. From time to time, he paused, held his breath and pricked up his ears, trying his best to listen to the movement outside.
Xu Wenlong knew Yu Wenli's thoughts, and he didn't break her, he just lowered his head and turned the barbecue in his hand with a glance.
Finally, Yu Wenli stopped walking around and smiled before saying a word. Hehehehe opened his eyebrows, sat down beside Xu Wenlong with a gentle expression, and asked flatteringly: "Hey, you say, is the tiger coming?" Still didn't come? Why is there no movement outside? ”
Xu Wenlong shook his head and replied, "I didn't come, just listen carefully to the insects and birds outside." Maybe it just passed by casually last night, and maybe it won't come again. Go to bed, it's getting late. ”
"Maybe you're talking nonsense here, maybe you're lying to me at all!" Yu Wenli glanced at Xu Wenlong, turned her head and said angrily, "If you don't sleep, you won't sleep if you are sleepy." ”
Xu Wenlong smiled secretly, replaced a few skewers of raw meat and then barbecued, and ignored her with a focused expression. In less than an hour, more than 20 catties of pork were all roasted, and the rich aroma wafted around, filling the entire cave, making people smell the index finger and can't help but drool.
Yu Wenli nagged alone for a while, but did not get any response, and couldn't help but doze off in boredom. The head is little by little, the body is leaning one by one, and the upper and lower eyelids are like glue, and it takes a lot of effort to open them every time. Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to the ground with a thud on one side of her body, and fell asleep in the thatched pile.
Xu Wenlong wrapped the roasted pork in banana leaves, picked a cool hole and hid it, so that he could take it out and eat it when needed. Although the cave is large, it is extremely cool, like a natural refrigerator, and the prepared food is stored in it for three or two days, without worrying about it rotting and spoiling.
The night is quiet, insects and frogs sing, the starry sky is blue, clear and clear as water.
Xu Wenlong extinguished the bonfire, leaned on the windowsill, frowned and looked at the sea under the stars, his face full of endless sorrow and sorrow. The dragon was trapped in the shallows, unable to move, how desperate and helpless it should be.
Woo wow - woo wow - the baby fish began to cry at night again, inside and outside the hole, singing and harmonizing. The voice is poignant and sad, making people shiver and shiver all over the body.
Yu Wenli, who was asleep, was awakened, got up from the grass with a goo, and looked around with frightened eyes. When she saw Xu Wenlong who was not moving in front of the windowsill, she smiled, moved lightly to his side, and whispered in his ear mysteriously: "I guess, the tiger's roar will sound soon!" One...... 2. ......"
Woo...... Before the word "three" could be spoken, a majestic and low roar sounded outside the cave. It is like a sound harvester, instantly harvesting all the sounds around it, including the extremely heart-wrenching "baby crying".
Yu Wenli screamed, as if she had picked up a gold ingot, jumped up and pulled her feet to run out of the cave. When she saw Xu Wenlong's extremely stern eyes glaring at her coldly, she immediately smiled again, shrunk her head and sat back beside him, and said in an irrepressible smug tone: "How about it, I guessed well." The tiger really came, silently. As soon as he heard the annoying howl of the baby fish, he immediately made a threatening sound. Does it make sense to me? Is it protecting me? Lest I be frightened by those abominable ghost fish? ”
Although Xu Wenlong is not as weird and ridiculous as Yu Wenli, he really can't figure out the true intentions of the mysterious tiger outside the cave. Say it's ill-intentioned and wants to hurt people? But why does it stop every time the baby fish cries? Or put a wild boar outside the cave? But how can it be said that it understands human nature and wants to repay its kindness? After all, the ferocity of the beast, the lion and tiger come first, but how can there be any kindness at all? Xu Wenlong thought for a long time and couldn't do anything, so he could only become more and more vigilant, and warned Yu Wenli vaguely: "Don't abuse your compassion, don't think about everything in the world so beautifully, especially for unruly beasts." Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to regret it! ”
Yu Wenli rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to refute Xu Wenlong. But later, for some reason, she put on a smiling face like a ghost, arched her hands and said: "My subordinates will obey the bishop's repentance, and they will definitely be able to speak only three points when they meet people, and they will not throw away all their hearts." This is especially true for the tiger outside the cave, never wronging a good person, nor letting go of a bad person! ”
Xu Wenlong squinted at Yu Wenli, who was smiling hippie, sighed a long breath, and silently looked at the satin-like sea in a daze. This ghost girl behaves abnormally, speaks in a weird manner, and doesn't know what she's playing. But whatever, keep a close eye on her, watch her strictly, don't let her have any chance to be alone, and see if she can poke a hole in the sky!
After the tiger outside the cave roared, there was no more sound. The baby fish stopped screaming, and honestly hid in the pool, probably frightened by the thunderous roar. Yu Wenli's heart was much more steady, and her courage became stronger and stronger, she stood up from the ground calmly, and said, "Wait and see, there will be surprises tomorrow", and then pursed her lips and walked into the "room" with a smile alone, and lay down on her "bed" fearlessly, and soon entered a sweet dream.
Xu Wenlong couldn't sleep, and he didn't dare to sleep. First, the heart is tied to the lover, and the sorrow is difficult to dispel; Second, the tiger is outside, and the danger is unpredictable. He leaned silently in front of the windowsill, and heard the sound of the waves crashing against the shore under the cliff, but his heart churned like a pot of boiling water......
