The next day, Chuantao got up early, thinking about watching the scenery with Sister Caixia today.

Chuantao walked to the courtyard, and a vast fog came to his face. It may be that I got up a little early, the thick fog shrouded the entire Baiyu Village, and even this courtyard was floating with a thin layer of fog shadows, and the waves walked slowly, the fog moved with them, and the air was full of cool water. Chuantao couldn't see anything, so he had to follow the aerobics taught by the master and began to exercise seriously. After a set of aerobics, the body warmed up a lot, and the white air in the mouth melted into the mist. Chuantao stared into the distance, although he couldn't see the scenery in the distance, but this was a way to exercise his eyesight, still motionless, engrossed, and didn't even feel Caixia standing behind him.

"Brother Chuantao, get up early!" Caixia's silver bell-like voice interrupted Chuantao's gaze exercise, and when he turned around, he saw Caixia, who was beautifully groomed, and her handsome face was like a freshly picked apple, which was pitiful.

"Hehe, the master said, go to bed early and get up early, it's a good body. Oh, Sister Caixia, why hasn't the sun come out yet? ”

"Isn't that right?" Pink hands pointed to the top of the mountain opposite.

Chuantao looked in the direction of Caixia's finger, and sure enough, in the thick fog, the top of the mountain was faintly exposed, with a touch of pale yellow. It is the phenomenon of the rising sun shining on the top of a mountain.

Soon, the fog slowly cleared, and the verdant mountains revealed their true form. On the entire white fish village, there is a clear and clear fragrance. Chickens and dogs barked one after another. Smoke began to rise from the rooftops of every household. People are getting up.

After eating the rice porridge with green vegetables, Wu Lao and Mao San continued to open the conversation at home.

Caixia took Mao Cong and Chuantao to set off to visit the mountains.

The white fish village is very flat in the upper ping, along the field stalk all the way to the west, and soon arrived at the foot of the Pingbian Mountain. The mountain here is steep, and when Chuantao looks up, the birds perched on the few small trees on the top of the cliff are just a small black spot, and only a winding path leads to the top of the cliff along the cliff crack. The three children had grown up in the mountains, so they naturally didn't care about this kind of trail, and soon reached the top of the cliff. The terrain here is much slower, the green grass on the gentle slope, there are also a lot of bushes, occasionally protruding stalagmites stand proudly on the slope, like a pen erected on the earth, but also like a girl's finger standing on the slope, which is particularly eye-catching. Chuantao saw this unique ecology and liked it very much. Walking along the gentle slope for a while, there is a round stone peak rising from the ground, and there is no grass on the mountain, and it looks like a monk's head; At the foot of the mountain, there is a circular opening, and there is a thick layer of ice outside the door.

"This cave is called the Ice Cave, and every year after the beginning of summer, a thick layer of ice will form at the entrance of the cave, and the cave is extremely cold. Let's take a closer look? ”

Chuantao is really surprised, I have seen a lot of freezing in winter, but I haven't heard of the phenomenon of freezing in summer. Therefore, he replied, "Okay, this one needs to be taken a good look." ”

"We haven't been inside either. The elders said that it was dangerous inside and would not let us go in. Caixia said.

"I want to go in and take a look, why don't you two wait here and I'll come out by myself?" Chuantao insisted.

"That's not good, I'm going to go together, it's a big deal to let my dad know and scold a few words!" Mao Cong was quite righteous and wanted to go in and find out.

Caixia didn't insist on going in anymore, a group of three, stepping on the ice, the ice was very slippery, so she walked carefully hand in hand to the cave. Haitao walked in the front, Caixia's left hand was tightly held by Chuantao, as if she was afraid of getting lost, Mao Cong was at the back, led by her sister's right hand.

The light is getting darker and darker, but the ice under your feet is miraculously getting thinner and thinner and gradually disappearing, and the little hands that were frozen a little stiff when they first came in also feel it at this time.

After walking forward for a while, an empty space suddenly appeared next to it, and the three children were stunned. This space is so big, it is several times larger than the house at home, and the most amazing thing is that a ray of light is projected on the top of the cave, and the whole large space is very bright. If you look closely, there are many stone chambers on the side of the hall in this cave. In the middle of the hall is a circle of stone benches, and the stone benches surround a stone table.

If you go to the place where you enter, you will find a circular hole where the cold wind blows, and if you go to the right, you will find the hall you just saw.

The three children decided to go to the stone hall first. Chuantao went to touch the stone bench, there was a layer of ash on it, it seemed that no one had been here for a long time. Chuan Tao patted the dust on his hands, turned to look at the stone house on the cave wall, and found that there were large grain bags in the stone house, and in the other stone houses, there were weapons such as big knives and spears, and these weapons were obviously covered with a layer of grease, and there was no sign of rust.

Chuan Tao thought to himself, no wonder the adults don't let the children in, it turns out that this is the military warehouse of Baiyu Village, and once there is danger, they will use this secret cave to carry out a long-term defense war. Now that they understood this truth, they unanimously decided to keep it secret, and no one was allowed to tell anything about entering the cave.

However, Chuantao continued to explore the wind tunnel, and the three children walked together out of curiosity.

Touching along the wind tunnel (now I can only call it touching, and I can basically see the situation inside), my heart is slowly nervous, and I carefully probe forward step by step. I don't know how far I walked, but I suddenly heard the rumbling sound of water, like a flash flood, it turned out that the cold wind in the cave started from here, and the ice at the entrance of the cave was also formed by the water mist carried out by the wind here. The sound of the water was clearly still in the distance, and the three of them continued to move forward hand in hand. The sound of the water is getting closer and closer, the wet fog is getting thicker and thicker, when I feel that I am about to reach the water's edge, a ray of light shines in from the side, and I walk along the light, and the three children come to a rock crevice, looking out, a bottomless deep stream, the stream is filled with dense fog, and a strong current next to the cave mouth rushes into the mountain stream, and the rumbling sound of water comes from here.

Chuantao was amazed, what a spectacular waterfall. Looking around the entrance of the cave, there was no way to continue walking except for the cliff. Since they couldn't find the way, they had to go back, so the three of them decided to go back the way they came. He didn't stop in the stone chamber anymore, and went straight back to the gentle slope. This time I came out, only to know that the temperature inside and outside is really far apart, and no one felt cold and shivering during the nervous exploration, but the warm feeling outside was really comfortable, and the contrast between cold and hot was very different.

The sun shone on the hillside, the wind was beautiful, and the green grass occasionally bloomed one or two bright flowers. In this scorching summer, only the whitefish village can find a spring-like feeling. Chuantao went to pick a few small flowers of various colors, tied them into a bouquet with grass stems, and came back to give them to Caixia. Caixia gladly accepted, but her originally red face added a little more pink.

After basking in the sun for a while, the three children never mentioned the matter of entering the cave again, and found a few sheds of raspberries on the hillside, and ate them while picking them, so happy. Yesterday's restraint has never appeared on Chuantao today, and he has become close to the Mao family sisters and brothers.

Skirting the grassy slope, the three children chattered while looking for fruits and berries to eat, and pointed at stone pillars, stalagmites or cliffs of different shapes, each imagining this and that according to the child's nature. Some small animals and small are alarmed from time to time, running or flying, which is full of fun.

It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that the three children felt a little hungry and went down the hill together from another road on the other side. In front of him, a pond full of aquatic weeds, Chuan Tao saw shiny white fish swimming in the water. After pausing for a moment and looking at Caixia's flushed face, Caixia nodded lightly.

When I got home, several elders were already waiting in the courtyard, and there was not much heat on the table, only the hot pot in the middle was suddenly bubbling with fine bubbles.

Ate dinner and slept until midnight. The sound of banging on the door woke up all the Mao family.

"It's the middle of the night, what are you doing!" Mao San screamed in the back room in a daze.

"I heard that there is a doctor friend in your house, please help me and ask for help, come to my house to see the second uncle, he doesn't seem to be very good!"

The second uncle of the Mao family, now the actual leader of Baiyu Village. Mao Sanyi heard that the second uncle was too sick to die, so he got up from the bed with a "poof", dragged his shoes and went to open the door.

"What's wrong? Didn't you say that the cold that the second uncle got was nothing serious? ”

"Alas, we all thought it was a cold, and we would get better if we drank some sweat soup. But tonight I suddenly coughed out of breath, and I coughed up a lot of blood just now, which didn't look like a cold. ”

"I'll try. Wu Lao is indeed in my house, as long as his old man helps, there is no problem that cannot be cured. ”

Mao San walked outside the room where Wu Lao and Chuantao lived, and just wanted to knock on the door, Wu Lao was already dressed neatly, opened the door, and Chuantao was still standing behind.

"Mao San, take me down, let's go see the second uncle."

Mao San took Wu Lao and Chuantao and followed behind the man who called the door. The man held a large bundle of torches made of dried bamboo yellow, and hurried to the second uncle's residence in front.

The yard of the second uncle's house is very large, and the house is also three in and three out, and lanterns are hung all the way from the yard to the back hall.

Before Chuan Tao and his party entered the back hall, the sound of coughing came one after another, and it seemed that the second uncle's condition was really not light. Wu Lao hurriedly rushed over with Chuantao to take a look, the second uncle was leaning on a quilt stacked cushion, coughing so much that he couldn't catch his breath, and on his old face that was the color of pig liver, tears and snot were mixed together, and a half-old was helping to beat his back in front of the bed, trying to relieve the degree of coughing. In a porcelain basin in front of the bed, a number of bloodstained silk tissue paper were piled up.

Wu Lao stepped forward, opened the second uncle's eyelids and looked at it, and then pulled up the second uncle's wrist to probe the pulse. He turned back to Chuantao and said, "Take the needle and light the lamp." Chuantao understood that the master had been diagnosed, and he wanted to use acupuncture to give the second uncle a cough first and then use medicine.

Chuantao took out a small sheepskin bag from his baggage, which was a bag containing silver needles, and then took out half a candle and lit it, passed the silver needle on the candle flame twice, and handed it to Wu Lao. Wu Lao inserted more than ten silver needles in the soles of the second uncle's feet in one go, twisted this one, twisted that one, and worked hard for half a pillar of incense, and finally the second uncle didn't cough anymore, with tears on his face, and said: "Yinhua, help me clean my face." ”

The half-old picked up a towel made of white cloth, soaked it in the basin next to it, twisted it gently, and carefully wiped it on the second uncle's face.

The second uncle's face was clean, his cough stopped, and his complexion was much better, but his face was still very pale.

The second uncle spoke: "I have heard Mao San talk about Old Wu's name a long time ago, but I didn't have a chance to meet him. This time, thanks to Wu Lao, who happened to rest in this village, otherwise the old body might have gone like this. ”

Wu Lao said: "It's not so suspenseful, your illness is very uncomfortable, but it is not fatal, it just hurts the lungs." I have given you a cough for the time being, and I will give you some internal medicine powder later, and after taking it for half a month, you will be fine. ”

So he said to Chuantao: "Take five doses of Feng Powder and give it to this aunt." ”

Chuan Tao took the medicinal powder as he said, wrapped it in five paper bags, and handed it to the aunt who had beaten the back of the second uncle just now.

Wu Lao said to the aunt for a while, so, so, no, no, so, no, so, The aunt went to order her subordinates to boil water and feed the medicine.

Wu Lao called Chuantao and told Mao San to borrow a torch to lead the way, and prepare to go back to sleep. The second uncle was lying on the bed, and when he saw that Wu San was leaving, he said: "Please ask Wu Lao to stay at Mao San's house for two more days, and the old man will go to Mao San's house tomorrow to personally visit and thank you." ”

That night, Wu Lao returned to Mao San's house and had a good night's sleep.
