Fortunately, the weather has warmed up and the snow has turned into rain. Light rain, dripping, always falls from the thick fog in the morning or evening at an inadvertent time, and I don't know if it is rain or the dew of the thick fog.

He likes the morning on the mountain very much, like a fairy bathing, with a thick love silk wrapped around his body, and he can't wipe it off.

Carry the bucket to the well. A small wooden barrel, tied to a long well rope, was thrown in the grass by the well.

He picked up the bucket and threw it down into the well, the bucket was floating on the water, and he wanted to shake the bucket from side to side so that he could scoop the water into the bucket. However, this action looks simple, and because the well is relatively deep, it is not easy to pull a long well rope to scoop water. He was so tired that his head was sweating, and he didn't scoop water into the bucket.

He took a breath, threw the well rope on the edge of the well, and sat down on a large rock next to him. A thought suddenly popped up in my heart, it would be nice if Sang Xiaomei was here, she often carried water, and she knew what to do.

Mulberry sister!

He didn't know why he suddenly thought of this handsome tea shop girl.

Thinking of her, Zuo Shaoyang felt sweet and sour in his heart, if Sang Xiaomei's mother was not so philistine and didn't insist on asking for a huge bride price, maybe Sang Xiaomei would already be his wife!

No way. As soon as that idea came to mind, it was categorically denied by Zuo Shaoyang, even if Sang's mother didn't ask for a huge dowry, even if her family could afford the money with the war-torn food, Sang Xiaomei couldn't become his wife, because her father had made it very clear that the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family must be the official eunuch's house or the scholarly family of the right family, and the ordinary people are not considered, this is the last bottom line of Daddy Zuogui, the bottom line of never giving in, and even has threatened, if you don't adopt this, cut off the father-son relationship with himself.

Daddy Zuogui looks down on the Sang family, the last time his mother asked the media in private, and after being known by Daddy Zuogui, he was scolded, and that time he made it clear that the daughter of the Sang family was not a candidate for the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family.

Of course, the father is not opposed to taking a concubine after marrying a wife who is a good match.

Little sister, Zuo Shaoyang saw Sang Xiaomei's pretty figure in front of her eyes, with a resentful and ashamed look, she couldn't help but be stupid, in the future, if she became her own concubine, what would it be like?

Thinking of this, Zuo Shaoyang's heart swelled with tenderness.

―――――――――― blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

Miao Peilan's injuries are already healed, and she can get out of bed and walk slowly, but she occasionally coughs once or twice when she is emotional, that is because she was injured by Zen Yi's palm, and she can't find all the medicinal materials on the mountain, so she can't configure the most appropriate medicine to treat her, so she has left a little sequelae. Fortunately, it is not serious.

The recovery of sternal fractures is faster than that of leg bones, and the requirements are not as high as those of leg bones, so in just one month, Miao Peilan has been able to get out of bed and walk. It's just that he can't do heavy physical work, and he can't move his upper limbs significantly. So, the matter of going down the cliff to find the suspension bridge cannot be carried out yet.

On this day, the dense fog that enveloped Lian Yu finally dissipated a little, and even a faint blue sky could be seen. Ding Xiaosan went to the edge of the cliff to weave ropes again, waiting to see if anyone passed by. Zuo Shaoyang helped Miao Peilan and slowly went up to the top of the mountain.

When the two of them came to the top of the mountain, although the clouds and mist were lighter than some days ago, they still couldn't see the mountains below, and they couldn't feel the comfort of being at the top.

There is a large boulder at the top of the mountain, the slope is very gentle, and the two slowly climb up the rock and sit down on the top.

After more than half a month, most of the snow at the top of the mountain has melted, including on this large rock.

Zuo Shaoyang helped her sit down, and the two of them meant looking at the bottom of the mountain, no one spoke, and they were all feeling the tranquility. All around was the chirping of unknown birds.

Miao Peilan snuggled in Zuo Shaoyang's arms: "Brother, ......, I'm homesick......"

"Me too." Zuo Shaoyang hugged her little waist tightly, "I don't know how my father and sister are doing." ”

"Well, my mother is not by my side, what can she do, cough cough ......" Miao Peilan's words were crying, and she was in a hurry, causing a gentle cough.

"Don't worry," Zuo Shaoyang patted her back lightly and said softly, "They will take care of each other." ”

"But what if the food runs out?"

"Don't worry, when I left, I told them where the food was hidden, and that it was enough for them to eat for at least three or four months." Zuo Shaoyang told Miao Peilan about his experience of buying and storing grain.

Miao Peilan finally had a smile on her face: "That's good, then let's go braiding the rope too, and strive to braided it as soon as possible to go down the mountain." ”

"No way!" Zuo Shaoyang said: "Your injury is not yet good, now you are moving, once you break the bone again, it will be more troublesome, you have great strength, I still expect you to hang me off the cliff." ”

"No, I'll just go down the mountain myself and tie the rope to the tree. I go up the mountain every day to chop wood, and I often do it when I climb the slopes and go down the hill. ”

Zuo Shaoyang knew that he was telling the truth, when he crossed over and possessed Xiao Langzhong, who fell to death on the cliff, it was Miao Peilan who climbed up to save her, knowing that she was smarter than herself, and her body was lighter than herself, so he said: "That's okay, but you have to wait until you are well." ”

"How long will we have to wait?"

"Of course, the longer the better, but I'm worried that my father and mother will have no one to take care of them, and besides, we don't have much food, so it's best to get out of trouble as soon as possible." Let's rest for another ten or eight days. In the past few days, we can help a stone to put down, see if the rope is long enough, if it is not enough, it feels like how much is still missing, let's weave it together, the speed is much faster. ”

"Okay...... hey, look over there!" Miao Peilan pointed to the distance, and saw that the clouds and mist were fading rapidly, as if the tide was receding. The mountain beneath its feet also reveals its true face. Above was the blue sky, the delicate sun, and the endless sea of white clouds at their feet, stretching out like a huge piece of silk cotton, and the two of them were like immortals in the clouds, as if they could grab a handful and tear it off with a stretch of hand.

"Quick!" Zuo Shaoyang stood up in surprise, "Let's go to the edge of the cliff and take advantage of the fog to subside and see how high this cliff is." Let's see if we can find the hidden suspension bridge! ”

Miao Peilan also stood up excitedly, took two steps and stood again, pointed to the thick fog below and said: "The Guigu Temple has not been exposed, but I am afraid that I will not be able to see the cliff if I go down." ”

Zuo Shaoyang also stopped, indeed, although the dense fog began to fade, but it only fell more than ten zhang downward, and even the Guigu Temple was not revealed, and the place where the cliff was crossed was still under the small temple, so it was even more impossible to show it, and it was impossible to see it when it went down.

At this moment, a cold wind blew, and the thick fog on the top of the mountain rolled up, and it actually swept away, revealing a large piece of the mountain wall on the other side!

Zuo Shaoyang said happily: "Let's take a look from here, and we can know how high this mountain peak is." ”

The two of them supported each other from the top of the mountain to the edge of the cliff on the other side. When I came to the edge of the cliff, the mountain wind blew the wind, and the clothes and belts hunted and hunted.

Zuo Shaoyang took off his belt, let Miao Peilan hold one end, and hold the other end by himself, carefully knelt down to the edge of the cliff, and looked down, only to see that the cliff on this side was also chopped by a knife and axe, and under the mountain wind, the dense fog under the cliff rolled like a pot of buffalo milk. Thick or light, drifting under the cliff, exposing the cliff, through the gap between the clouds and mist, you can see the scenery below hundreds of zhang, it is still a cliff, and you can't look at the end at all.

The fog only subsided for a moment, and soon it rolled up the mountain again, occupying the entire summit, and the boulder on which they had just sat had disappeared into the fog.

After waiting for more than half a month, it was clear for a moment, and only a small section of the clouds and mist were clear, and I still couldn't see how high this cliff was. But one thing is certain, the rope that Ding Xiaosan has braided at present is far from enough. Both of them had to join the rope weaving.

In the following half a month, Zuo Shaoyang and Miao Peilan also helped to weave ropes together, and the speed increased significantly, especially Miao Peilan, who braided ropes very quickly, and one person could be two people.

During this time, they took the time to search the cliff side and even the entire mountain surface bit by bit, but did not find any suspicious entrances and mechanisms.

Once the rope was long enough, they began to use the rope to hang Miao Peilan off the cliff in search of the suspension bridge. They searched the entire cliff for several days, within the longest length of the rope, but still could not find the drawbridge.

The trio were deflated, and it seemed that the suspension bridge was likely to be lowered to the opposite cliff. Not on this side.

So they called on the edge of the cliff every morning and returned in the evening. I shouted for several days, but I still didn't see half a figure.

Seeing that the weather was getting warmer day by day, the snow falling on the mountains turned into sleet and finally turned into rain, and their food was also decreasing day by day, the three of them were a little nervous, and began to reduce their daily rations, and appropriately add some wild vegetables such as purple-backed geranium seeds.

And another month passed, and they braided all the vines, bark, and curtains on the mountain that could be braided into ropes, and saw if they could hang them down the cliffs.

As a result, they were still disappointed, the rope had been hoisted, and the stone that Miao Peilan threw down had not yet heard a sound, indicating that it was still very high from below. It is simply impossible to go on in this way.

They have spent more than two months on the top of the mountain, and the remaining food, no matter how much they save, is only enough to last for more than half a month at most. Is it really the same as Zen says, starving to death on it?

Zuo Shaoyang said: "We can only light the beacon fire, I hope the people below can see it, even if the enemy comes up, as long as we can save us from the cliff, it is better to be a prisoner than to starve to death!" Besides, we are not soldiers, and the enemy should have no interest in taking us prisoner. ”

How to burn the smoke is a piece of cake for Miao Peilan. She dug an earthen stove, found half-dried pine branches, and began to light a fire, and soon the smoke billowed into the clouds.

The clouds were so thick that I didn't know if the people below could see the smoke.

After two days of continuous burning, a voice finally came from the other side at noon that day:

"Zuo Langzhong-! Zuo Langzhong——! ”

When Zuo Shaoyang heard this, he said in ecstasy: "It's Brother Xiao!" - Brother Xiao! I'm here! We're on this side of the cliff! ”
