Chapter Seventy-Five: Wet and Cold Hair
After staying in this cave for a long time, I feel a little cold and cold, only close to the fire next to the ding, can I feel a little more comfortable with this feeling, and I don't know how the ancients overcame this problem.
After waiting for a while, I saw that Song Bailu's face became more and more ugly, and I felt a little uneasy, but I couldn't say it, maybe it was because of the hallucinations that appeared when I was fetching water from the underground river just now.
Song Bailu put down those scrolls, thought for a moment, and then threw them all into the burning ding!
"Hey, Bailu? You! "I hurriedly snatched it out, but most of it was already burned, and I only grabbed a few to put it out of the fire, and I was able to salvage some of the broken pieces.
The rest are only fragments, and I can't see anything at all, which makes me very angry.
"When these things burn, they are gone, why are you doing this?" I asked.
"Brother Zhou Bo, believe me, I'm here for everyone's good, it's all nonsense, alarmist, and I've seen it too much, and it's definitely a blow to our confidence in survival, so burn it, don't read it anymore." Song Bailu said.
"Even the ancient fierce beasts and Gu eagles have appeared, haven't we survived too? As for being so scared? I asked.
"Believe me, if what is said above is true, then it is definitely a hundred times more terrifying than the appearance of the Gu Eagle, but I am a hundred people who don't believe it, and something that appeared five hundred years ago, there is no need to scare us now, right? I'm also here to keep everyone from rumors, if you think I'm doing something wrong, you can punish me again and beat me up. Song Bailu said seriously.
I heard her say this, and there is really no need to make a big deal out of it, this time she is not for her own selfish interests, I don't need to punish her, otherwise there is no distinction between rewards and punishments, and then there will be a suspicion of abuse of power.
"Okay, I trust you, just treat you as good for us, but you can't look at that much and not say any information, right? Can you tell us what you can say? Who is this group of people, who is instructed to come here, who is the 'Dragon Seeking Envoy', what are they looking for, these can be said, right? I asked.
She nodded, thought about it carefully, and said: "The leader of the team is called Li Mufeng, Jinyiwei, the official worships the deputy Qianhu, from the five products, the dragon envoy is privately authorized by the nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and the royal family acquiesces to an official title, its role is to find the immortal medicine and immortal treasure, as for who sealed it, it is not mentioned in the document, it can be seen that this organization is not only officially authorized, but also a secret organization is not a regular establishment, so generally speaking, it will not be known who sealed it." ”
"Since Li Mufeng is a Jinyi guard, did the emperor send him?" I asked.
"There is no official document in it, I can't be sure, but it is likely that it was dictated by the emperor, and there is a metaphor in the events recorded there, and it can be understood that Li Mufeng should have been sent during the Jiajing period." Song Bailu said.
I nodded, I think so, I heard that Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with cultivating immortals and refining pills, so much so that he ignored the government for this reason, and it was not impossible to secretly organize some people who were looking for immortal medicine in private, and probably figured out why there were so many traces of the Ming Dynasty, but I still have one last question.
"Then after this organization was sent, it was obvious that it found these Western Zhou items that it should be looking for, why didn't it be shipped back for delivery?" I asked.
"No, these bronzes were originally in this cave, and the people who came to the Dragon Hunting Camp just repaired and improved the cave to facilitate themselves, not what they were looking for, what they wanted from Zhao was the supreme treasure of this place, and that's probably all I knew, and I won't mention the rest of the useless things, okay?" Song Bailu said.
I nodded, but I wondered what was it that made her so scared that she threw the paper in the fire and wanted to destroy it completely.
Immediately I called the sisters of the Song family, and ordered the matter of tonight's vigil, originally hiding in the cave, thinking that there is no need to arrange, outside the entrance of this cave is a long mountain road like a city wall, and the end of its lead is another lonely peak, its structure is equivalent to the relationship between the city wall and the beacon tower, this straight road can not hide wild things.
And the wild things are all at the bottom of the mountain, they can't climb the steps, and they won't climb the steps easily, so the vigil can be canceled, but tonight Song Bailu's behavior makes me worry a lot, so let's arrange it, and I'd rather be wrong 10,000 in case.
"Today I will guard the first shift, Bai Lu, you will guard the second shift, and the third shift of the Spring Festival, I will try my best to guard Yunwen's share, so that you can rest more, there is no objection to this arrangement, right?" I asked.
They shook their heads, and went to lie down on the animal skin with Yun Wen, and I was about to start a long vigil, but I saw Song Bailu get up and walk again, and it wasn't long before I saw that the door by the wall was closed, and when I saw me looking at her, she explained, "It will be warmer when the door is closed." ”
I nodded suspiciously, I always felt something weird, this feeling was like the feeling I had when I went to fetch water, hairy, with a feeling of being swallowed by darkness, I couldn't say anything, but I just felt uncomfortable.
In the next few days, we started a new busy work, Yun Wen was seriously injured in bed, I let her stay in bed, occasionally accompany her out to bask in the sun, walk, and sometimes let her rest, so that the wound can recover, Bai Lu through boiling medicine, external herbs, hot and warm acupuncture for her to deal with the rabies virus every day, for her to heal the wound.
In addition, Song Yingchun began to disassemble those wooden tables, sawed them short, and relied on mortise and tenon technology to splice and fit, so that they could be fully used, and could be used as a sleepable wooden bed, so that we would not sleep on the damp ground every day.
This earthen kiln is used to make earthen pots, earthen pots and the like, she has already been proficient, and it is getting better and better, although the bronze ware has a good place, but it is too cumbersome and heavy, and it is especially troublesome to take water, but there is a bronze vessel called lei (lei), which is similar to a large wine vat, which can be used to store drinking water.
There are also some willow trees nearby, although Song Yingchun's mouth is damaged on weekdays, and she is a little lazy to do, but the title of handicraft master, but it is well deserved, there is wicker can be willow weaving, and soon she made some dustpans, baskets and the like, which is enough for us to wash and sift the wheat next.
In addition to going to the nearby mountains from time to time to collect some wild fruits, wild mushrooms, and the like to replenish food, I also had to start preparing a set of stone mills, otherwise I still couldn't handle the wheat, at most I would roast it and eat it, and I couldn't fully enjoy it, so before they washed and sifted the wheat and dried it, I should also go to find a suitable stone nearby.
I heard my aunt in the countryside say that he is a stonemason, and he must choose the right granite or sandstone, and I can only think of this kind of stone, but the only one that can think of this kind of stone is the end of the old house of Living Spring, near which there are many rocks piled up in the rain, and I think I have to go there.
After I told everyone about this idea, they were very worried, but I persuaded them not to object, after all, we have to eat this wheat all the time, and we will plant and eat it in the second half of the year, and even next year, and we need to use it for a long time.
It was on my fourth day in the cave that I decided to go out on an adventure and get granite.
