Chapter 35: The Dark River
Mother, it seems to be a very unfamiliar word.
He had never seen his mother, and he didn't have any memories of his mother's in his mind, he only vaguely learned from Scar's mouth that his mother had died when he was alive.
Scar was very sad when he said it, and Daocheng didn't want to make his father sad, so he didn't mention it again.
He really doesn't have any expectations for his mother, he doesn't envy others, he doesn't suffer from his own, he goes with the flow, and even some things are taken for granted. Anyway, in his heart, it is enough to have a father.
Occasionally, when I hear others mention my mother, Dao Cheng doesn't have any special feelings.
In fact, he was more interested in the past of Scar as described by Shi Zhongxiong.
"Dad, what are you afraid of, I won't tell Aunt Hua about it......" Dao Cheng smacked his lips, quite a little unfinished.
"Is that so?" Scar glanced at his son, "looking at his expression, as if he didn't think much ...... it"
Scar was a little relieved, and secretly speculated, "It should be that I'm too worried, he's not like Ling'er, and he hasn't made trouble." Although it is strange why this child does not care about his mother...... Maybe in his heart, Huahua is his mother......"
"Hmm! go back and talk to Flowey, don't be so partial!"
With a hanging heart, Scar snorted, pretended to look at Taixuan Daxing, and shouted: "Hungry, hungry, Brother Shi has anything to eat and drink, take it out!"
I didn't want to say it, but I didn't expect Shi Zhongxiong to laugh smugly. Scar suddenly became interested, "Yo, there are really good things, let us see and see." ”
"Insight, insight?" Shi Zhongxiong tilted his head and looked at the two of them obliquely, looking quite confident.
"Sharp!" Scar is a kick, which is a "reward" for chewing his tongue before.
Shi Zhongxiong patted the dust on his body and said stupidly: "In my territory, you are polite." ”
"Defeated!" Scar glanced at him disdainfully.
"I!" Shi Zhongxiong stammered, his arrogance went out, and he said sullenly, "How can I say that it is also my home, I want to eat and drink well, and you don't want to save me some face?"
"Do you want the mother-in-law?" Scar's face was expressionless.
"I want it!" Shi Zhongxiong slapped his thigh, instantly mobilized his facial muscles, piled up his smile, nodded and stretched out his hand, "Big brother, eldest nephew, please!"
......
Entered the cave again.
Shi Zhongxiong showed a mysterious smile and said, "Good things are hidden in the cave, the eldest nephew might as well look for them." ”
Dao Cheng was quite interested, but this cave was not small, he had no clue, and it was not easy to find, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, give me some hints." ”
Shi Zhongxiong is not a chronic child, he is also eager to make a profit, so he said generously: "The food and drink are in this hall." ”
"Drinking?"
Daocheng's eyes lit up and he looked into the center of the hall.
The whole hall was quite empty, and there were a few tools scattered around the edges. Only in the middle of the hall was a round stone platform, which Dao Cheng had noticed before, and he had heard a clattering sound coming from there.
"Found out?"
Shi Zhongxiong laughed and led the two to the round platform.
As expected, this is a well.
"It's a crevice, to be exact, and there's a dark river down there. Shi Zhongxiong explained.
Dao Cheng looked at it, and there was a skylight just above it, and the golden light of the sun shone straight in, and the scene in the well was unobstructed.
Indeed, as Shi Zhongxiong said, this is a gap. However, this gap is not narrow, and the knife is estimated to be able to accommodate itself.
The strange rocks around the gap are craggy, and at the bottom, the clear river water is gurgling, and the flow speed is not slow to see the amplitude of its ripples.
"Uncle, how deep is this gap?" asked Dao Cheng.
"How deep?" Shi Zhongxiong smiled and said, "It's not shallow! Think about it, we are at the top of the mountain, and the depth of the cave is only more than ten meters, and the dark river is generally at the bottom of the mountain, how deep do you say it is." ”
"Wow! a mountain is so deep!" Dao Cheng said in surprise, "This must be two or three hundred meters!"
"Almost. Shi Zhongxiong nodded and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, my family built this cave just for it!"
"For it, for the river below?" Scar guessed.
"That's right!" Shi Zhongxiong explained, "It was just a very small and ordinary cave, and I stumbled upon this gap when I was a child. ”
"Considering the convenience of the water and the fact that the water was really delicious, my father decided to expand the cave. ”
"Later!" Shi Zhongxiong said suddenly and mysteriously, "we accidentally found a fish in the water!"
"Fish?" both father and son wondered at the same time.
"That's right! It was this fish that made my father and I not hesitate to expand the cave as a private residence. In order to monopolize this gap!"
"What fish are so attractive?" Scar said curiously.
"Hehe, it's naturally a good fish!" Shi Zhongxiong laughed, he wanted to hang the appetite of the two, but seeing that Scar's face was not good, he said, "You just want to see it, and I can't see it now, I don't have it in my hand." ”
"Day!" Scar said with a disdainful look, "without you a hammer?"
"There's no way!" Shi Zhongxiong smashed his mouth, as if he was recalling the taste, "It's so delicious, I can't save it at all, grab one and eat the other, tsk, that taste...... It melts in the mouth, and if there is nothing, there is a strong feeling......"
It melted in his mouth, and Dao Cheng suddenly thought of the little flying dragon he had eaten before, the turkey, and his saliva flowed unconsciously.
"Uncle, you catch it again!"
"Catch it, you have to catch it," Shi Zhongxiong smiled mysteriously, "but not now......"
"How long will it take?" Daocheng swallowed.
"Don't worry, soon, the fish likes yin or not yang, and when it gets dark, Xuanyin appears, depending on our luck. ”
"It depends on luck?" Dao Cheng glanced at Shi Zhongxiong and said in a low voice, "Shouldn't you be eaten extinct by your uncle?"
"It's good that I have this blessing," Shi Zhongxiong smiled and said, "The main reason is that it rarely appears, and I often can't catch one for three or two days." ”
"Besides being delicious," Scar asked, "this fish has special effects, right?"
"Guess?" Ishikao smiled without saying a word.
"Certainly," Scar said, touching his chin, "I remember you're not a good mouther, brother." ”
"Hey, hey!"
No matter what Scar says, Shi Zhongxiong can calm down this time, and he has to let Scar experience it himself.
Seeing the two of them arguing there, Dao Cheng touched his shriveled stomach, pouted and said, "Hungry, starved, hurry up and eat!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, stopping the verbal argument.
Scar raised the corners of his mouth and wrote lightly: "Your uncle is a poor man with bad waters, I don't think there are any good things, our two are still the same, eat some barbecue, drink some sweet water from your hometown." ”
Shi Zhongxiong was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Speaking of water, my dark river water is also a must!"
"A little water, where can it go?" Scar smiled indifferently.
"Hey, I don't dare to say that I am the first in the mainland, but there are few ...... in the world," Shi Zhongxiong raised his eyebrows, "I still dare to guarantee it." ”
Having said that, Scar still drinks a lot of water.
The father and son took some barbecue, put it on the stone table, and waited for Shi Zhongxiong's rare dark river in the world.
Shi Zhongxiong took the rope barrel, lifted a bucket, put it on the table, and took out three pairs of Xuanjing bowls carved by himself, filled them, and pushed them in front of the two.
Looking at this clear water that was still bubbling cold, Dao Cheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Scar also couldn't sit still, and on a hot day, the water was definitely tempting.
"Hold back, I can't let Brother Shi laugh at me. ”
Shi Zhongxiong picked up the bowl and saluted the two, "Please!"
Dao Cheng hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank it all.
Scar didn't move like a mountain, and the corners of his mouth still hung with a disdainful smile.
Unexpectedly......
After Daocheng finished drinking, he stood up, poured another bowl for himself with the wooden barrel, did not sit down, stood and drank it all, then poured another bowl, and drank it all again.
After drinking three bowls in a row, the young man opened his mouth and burped, exhaling a cold air.
"Cool!"
Shi Zhongxiong smiled without saying a word, took the wooden barrel, and added a bowl to himself. He shook it casually and muttered, "Oh, it's almost gone." ”
"Then pour me another bowl!" Dao Cheng hurriedly said.
"Is it really that delicious?" Scar was also excited, he wasn't very thirsty, but he was by the two of them, and the water was so tempting, he really had a dry mouth.
Quietly picked up the bowl, brought it to his lips, and took a gentle sip.
The refreshing cool air cooled the whole body, and the sweetness moistened his dry tongue and stimulated the little bulges on his tongue.
Scar shook his head and drank it all. He grabbed the barrel and poured it over his mouth.
Unfortunately, there was not much water in the bucket, just a thin line of water. As he paused, the last drop of water fell.
Scar didn't say a word, carried the bucket, and went straight to the round platform.
Shi Zhongxiong showed an exaggerated silent smile and pointed at Scar with his mouth wide open.
Dao Cheng also smiled, lowered his head and slowly savored the water in the bowl.
After the scar hit the water, Shi Zhongxiong quickly put away his smile, learned the appearance of the knife, and held the bowl with a satisfied face, but glanced at the scar.
"The bowl is dry, what else to pretend, just laugh if you want to. Scar glanced at him and said, "Lao Tzu admits that your water is really delicious!"
"What about my fish?" Shi Zhongxiong hurriedly asked again.
"How can fish raised in this water be unpalatable?"
"Haha!"
finally won a game, and Ishizhong Xiongcai didn't care whether Scar was convinced or not, calm or not, anyway, he was proud.
Next, Scar roughly talked about the situation of Daocheng.
"Brother Shi, this is your lair, where do you think you can get together the four kinds of demonic beasts?"
Shi Zhongxiong thought for a while and said: "The earth and fire systems can be met in the surrounding mountains, and there are very few water systems, so I estimate that I can get the Xuanjiang River." ”
"In this way, the water system will be handed over to me, I have a wildebeest, and tomorrow I will go to the Xuanjiang River for a walk. ”
"As for the wind system......
"How's it going?" Scar's heart tightened.
Shi Zhongxiong shook his head, frowned, and said slowly: "There are fewer wind systems, but I know that there is a place, but that place is a little weird......"
"Spooky?" Scar narrowed, "What's weird?"
"It's hard to say, you'll know when the time comes. ”
