Chapter 13: Rich
Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.
In order to eat eggs, Erjie'er covered the pigsty and raised a few chickens in it.
When we were about to go out, Huzi and I buried the box of iron tiles in the pigsty and threw a layer of firewood foam on the surface. After the chicken has shaved a few times on it, there are no more traces.
Then we threw half a bag of bud rice in the pigsty, and the pig trough was filled with water. Once everything was ready, we were ready to go.
Erjie'er found two cloth bags, which were all strapped, and contained food and a tent or something, which were all his hunting equipment.
After everything was ready, it was already noon, and we didn't have lunch at home, but everyone pinched two steamed buns and took a bite into the Tianjin garlic hot sauce.
We didn't go up the river, and Erzhu'er took us on a mountain road.
Although the mountain road is rugged, it is still a road no matter how difficult it is. If you go up the river, it's too difficult.
The river has always been down the mountain, and we have been walking on the mountainside.
The second pick-up is old, but there is no ambiguity in walking the mountain road. Huzi and I walked so much that our legs and stomachs were a little unable to keep up, and this old man's face was not red and he was not panting.
He carried a shotgun in front of him, turned to look at us, smiled and said, "I can't do manual work, but I still don't accept you when I go into the mountains and hurry." ”
Huzi stretched out his hand and waved and said, "Second Dad, I'm really convinced." Can we take a break? ”
Er Zhu'er said: "We can't rest, we have to rush to the Fox Immortal Temple in front before dark, and spend the night there." ”
Originally, I thought that the fox fairy temple that Er Zhu'er said was like the kind of broken temple written in martial arts, and some bizarre stories usually happened in it. But when I arrived, all I saw was a cave.
This cave is five or six meters deep, and there are no clay sculptures in it, just a rank.
But it can be seen that there is still some incense here. On the case, there is a roast chicken.
Huzi took a flashlight to look around and said, "Second Dad, this is the Fox Immortal Temple?" ”
The second pick-up said: "This is the Fox Immortal Temple, kneel down and worship, spiritual." ”
Huzi and I both knelt down and bowed.
Just as we were kneeling, Er Ji'er took out an oil lamp and lit it, and just dangled a wire from the top of the cave, and the oil lamp hung on it.
When the oil lamp was lit, I saw a nest of straw in a hole in the hole. Er'er pulled out a mattress sheet and spread it on it, saying, "I'll sleep here tonight." ”
Fearing wild beasts, we lit a fire in the cave. Ignition is easy to attract mosquitoes, and the second pick-up lit a plate of mosquito coils. After everything was ready, we took out our dinner, which was still steamed buns, and after biting it, we fell into this grass nest and closed our eyes to recuperate.
After Er'er turned off the lights, he fell back and said, "Go to bed early, Ming'er will get up early and hurry, and rush to the Black Dragon Prince Temple before dark." ”
After walking down for half a day, I was sleepy and tired, and my eyelids soon couldn't be raised.
Early the next morning, Huzi and I were woken up by Erjiao'er, and when we got up, we felt pain all over our bodies, and our legs couldn't take a step.
Erzhu'er looked at the two of us and said with a smile: "Just like you, you still want to go into the mountains to explore?" ”
Huzi said, "This leg is no longer obedient!" Second dad, why don't you wait for our legs to heal before leaving! ”
Er Zhu'er said: "It's okay if the activity starts, you have to go to the Black Dragon Prince Temple today, the more you go inside, the better it is." ”
Er'er is right, the further you go, the wider the road becomes, and there are repaired steps and handrails.
Occasionally, on the side of the road, you can also see sacred beasts such as swaggers with stone carvings.
Every time Huzi saw such a stone carving, he always said that it would be good if it could be transported back. In his eyes, these things are money.
However, the carved stool is still there, but the stone tablet on the back is gone. In fact, the most valuable should be those stone tablets, which must have recorded a lot of things about the Black Dragon Prince.
It didn't look big, and Huzi tried to move it, but it didn't move. I said, "There must be five or six hundred pounds, if I could move it, I guess someone would have moved it a long time ago." ”
Er Zhu'er said: "There are still a lot of people who come to explore here after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and no one has been here since the founding of the People's Republic of China." Some people really want to move this thing, but the mountain road is rugged, and they can't get into the car, so they just think about it. Don't delay, let's go. ”
The further you go, the more you feel the atmosphere of life, and there are stone walls and stone pillars on the side of the road. Although it has been a long time, you can still vaguely feel the scene of people's lives at that time.
The roadside is full of stone houses, and now the roofs of the stone houses have collapsed, and the windows and doors of the stone houses are gone, and only the ruins remain.
Huzi and I were curious, and we watched while walking, and we were always urged by Erjie'er: "Hurry up and go, and look at it when you come back." Do you still want to go to Black Dragon Valley? ”
Huzi said: "Second father, is there really a treasure in Black Dragon Valley?" ”
"Of course, the elders said that there is a Jinluan Hall in the Black Dragon Valley, and the ground is paved with gold bricks. Otherwise, why did so many expeditions enter the Black Dragon Valley? They're all here to find the baby. ”
Huzi said: "Is it true that none of them came out?" ”
Er Zhu'er said: "None of them came out, they were all arrested by the Yin soldiers, and they became the subordinates of the Black Dragon Prince." The power in this Black Dragon Valley is getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later, the Black Dragon Prince will sit here. ”
Huzi said: "Second father, you are all feudal superstition. Where there is a black dragon prince, it is a legend. ”
Erzhu'er did not argue, but closed his eyes and prayed.
After praying, he looked up at the sky and said, "You have to hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to reach the Temple of the Black Dragon Prince before dark." ”
Next, Erjie'er drove us forward like a cattle, with us in front and him behind. At noon, he didn't let the two of us take a break, but chewed on steamed buns while walking.
Erzhu'er said that if he rested at this time, he would never be able to get up again. Now is the season of poisonous snakes, especially at night, poisonous snakes will come out to feed, if bitten by a cobra, they will have to bury here.
As soon as Er Zhu'er said this, Huzi and I realized the seriousness of the problem, and the resentment in our hearts suddenly disappeared, and we hurried away with the pain all over our bodies. Where is there still the mind to enjoy the scenery along the way.
I saw some carvings and murals on the way, and I just swept them along.
In the evening, we went up a hill, and about two or three miles away, I saw a large and majestic building lying in a mountain nest.
Er Zhu'er climbed up from behind, pointed and said, "This is the Black Dragon Prince Temple, look at this scale, majestic." We're here tonight. Tomorrow I will walk three more miles, and across the mountain range in front of me is the Black Dragon Valley. ”
Huzi bent over, his hands on a stick, he looked at the big temple in front of him and said, "It's finally here, but this temple is too big." ”
Erzhu'er snorted and said: "There are ninety-nine rooms inside, there are front halls, main halls, apse, left halls, right halls, the front and back left and right are dedicated to the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and the main hall is dedicated to the Black Dragon Prince." In the past, everyone used to come here to pray for rain in March, and at that time, there was a lot of incense here, but it is not the scene now. ”
