Chapter Seventy-One: The Tsunami
Xu Tiantian glanced back at the sponge that had gathered and risen, Xuan Ye frowned tightly, he never admitted to seeing such a scene, as if there was a flood in the Yangtze River.
It's just that Xu Tiantian breathed a deep sigh of relief, although they were still in danger at the moment, she could judge that this was a tsunami, as long as it wasn't a volcanic eruption, the rest was easy to say.
Xu Tiantian stabilized her figure and pushed Xuan Ye hard in the back, "There is a tsunami, now we must evacuate this cave quickly, otherwise it is very likely that we will be swept into it in a short time." ”
The wind came too suddenly, and the few people who blew couldn't breathe when they wanted to rest, but fortunately, there was a cave not far ahead, Xu Tiantian covered his chest with one hand, and watched the man running in front of him with a small stone, adjusting his breathing, even if his legs were filled with lead, he still ran forward desperately.
This tsunami was really unexpected by Xu Tiantian, seeing that a wave was about to hit him, Xuan Ye turned around and pulled Xu Tiantian out of the cave.
It's just a mountain across it, and one side of the mountain is unusually calm, but the other side of the mountain is turbulent.
Xuan Ye's hair was already a little messy, and he was a little scared when he breathed smoothly at the end, and looked at the scene behind him, "Tiantian, how could such a thing happen to a good person today?" Why is there such a strong wind all of a sudden? ”
Xu Tiantian took a big breath, looked at the small stone that had already been frightened, and smiled softly, "It's a tsunami, to put it bluntly, there was an earthquake under the seabed." It's very unlikely, but we just happened to meet, do you say it's lucky or unlucky? ”
Xuan Ye was silent, and the two of them rested for a while before walking back.
On the way back, Xiao Shi had some regrets, and hugged Xuanye's neck tightly, "Sister, will we never be able to pick up seafood again in the future?" ”
Xuan Ye raised her head and looked at Xu Tiantian with a pair of eyes, obviously she also had the same doubts in her heart, this is an excellent way to get money, if she can, maybe the people in this village will no longer have to endure hunger or gnaw on tree bark.
Xu Tiantian suddenly laughed, her eyebrows crooked, "It's the opposite." Although this tsunami looks extremely scary, it will involve people when you get close, and after this tsunami, you will find that there will be a lot of seafood on this sea that you don't have the chance to see on a daily basis, and these seafood often live in the deep sea, which is more nutritious and difficult to buy. ”
It's just that they won't be able to come here often for three or two days, and after these three or two days, there may be unexpected surprises on the beach.
Xuan Ye nodded, but there was some scary look in his eyes looking at Xu Tiantian, Xu Tiantian knew a lot of questions that he didn't understand, and he didn't look like a village girl at all.
"Tiantian, why do you know so many things that ordinary people don't understand?"
Xu Tiantian was stunned for a moment, was she really a little too expressive? After all, in this feudal society, if one day you are different from the past, people will think that you are possessed by some demons and monsters, and she doesn't want to be burned to death by those people as some kind of monster.
"What's strange about this, I may not understand what you know, not to mention relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, I have been in the water with my father since I was a child, if I don't understand this, wouldn't I starve to death."
Xuan Ye still has some doubts, so that Xu Tiantian didn't learn these things from her father, and she has long been unable to investigate.
Three days later, the sparkling sea made people feel good when they saw it, and the beach was really as Xu Tiantian said, there were all kinds of deep-sea products that Xuanye had never seen before.
"Tiantian, look."
Xuan Ye looked at these fish on the beach and felt a little pity in his heart, knowing that they had come two days in advance, and now some of the more water holes on these beaches have dried up, and many fish have become dried fish.
Xu Tiantian shook her head, not disgusted at all, they were lucky to be able to pick up so many things right now, "It's okay, it's just that these fish can't be sold for some high prices, but they are all edible, get them back and pickle them, but they have all become dried fish and hung on the eaves, and the taste is also excellent." ”
Xuan Ye nodded and said no more.
Since the seafood on the beach was enough to fill the frames of Xu Tiantian and Xuanye, the two of them didn't make much effort, just bent down to pick it up, so it just took a stick of incense, and the two of them had to return with a full load.
Xu Tiantian straightened up and wiped the sweat on her forehead, "Xuanye's weather is still early today, we are not in a hurry to go back, I want to go to the mountain in front of me to have a look and see if there are any other wild vegetables." ”
Although she has been familiar with this sea area since she came to this place, she has never looked at what is around this sea area, and she just took advantage of the time to find out all the surrounding land, and then go to see if there are any good things on the mountain in front of her.
Xuan Ye naturally wouldn't refuse, but naturally she wouldn't let her go alone for such a thing, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
It is said that the high places are not cold, and the temperature in the mountains is slightly lower than on weekdays, but fortunately, this is a hot summer day, which does not make people feel so uncomfortable.
There are a lot of animals squirming in the mountains, but they are extremely sensitive, probably hearing people's footsteps, but they run away after three or five clicks.
The two of them walked along the mountain road for another while, and suddenly there were animal footprints in front of them, four deep and shallow pits, Xu Tiantian excitedly pulled Xuanye's sleeve, "Xuanye, look!" It's just that her voice doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, after all, this thing is very likely to be around here, if she is too loud and disturbs them, then the meat that reaches her mouth will really fly.
When Xuan Ye heard this, he also squatted down and looked carefully at the footprints on the snow.
"It's a rabbit!"
After a long time, Xuan Ye slowly stood up and looked at the footprints.
After hearing what Xuan Ye said, Xu Tiantian had a black line on her head, just looking at these four footprints, she knew that this was left by a rabbit, so why did he need to study it for so long? She thought he was working on something.
Looking at Xuan Ye's appearance, Xu Tiantian was puzzled in her heart, Xuan Ye's all-round style was changed to the son of a rich family, but it was a pity that he fell into this place where there was no village in front of him and no store in the back, and he had to suffer with himself.
Tummed his hand, which was already a little numb, into his sleeve, and touched his stomach with the other hand, which had already begun to sing the empty city plan: "The three caves of the cunning rabbit, let's go to the front and take a look, maybe we can find their nests." ”
Xuan Ye carried the basket on his back, thinking that they should come to the mountain first, and then pick up these seafood, these things are really a bit in the way at the moment, but he still follows closely behind, for fear that something will happen to the unusually active woman who is not careful.
"Sweet."
"Shhhh
Xuan Ye saw that Xu Tiantian's whole body was almost lying on the ground, a little worried that she would catch a cold, and just shouted, the woman put a finger to her lips and made him silent.
Xu Tiantian gently picked up the withered grass with her hand,
"You see, it is said that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and now it is the hot summer, and the soil of this forest is fertile, and even the grass is so lush, and now this is the most fertile place for grass."
The man crouched down, and sure enough, a black rumbling hole was in front of him, but he couldn't see anything.
"But, Tiantian, isn't there nothing in here?"
Xu Tiantian seemed to have seen the delicious rabbit meat on the table, and her eyes were shining,
"The three holes of the cunning rabbit, this is just one of the holes, you guard here first, and I'll look for it again."
"But—"
Xu Tiantian stood up and was just about to leave, Xuan Ye opened his mouth with some embarrassment, Xu Tiantian turned around, and knew what he was worried about at a glance.
"Don't worry, these rabbits won't be thankless, even if they have other holes, probably not far away, if there is anything I will call you immediately."
stared at Xu Tiantian for a while, and finally Xuan Ye nodded, "Okay, then you must be careful yourself!" ”
After getting the "pardon", Xu Tiantian showed some excitement, but this excitement did not last long before it was defeated by reality.
In the distance, a woman in white came to this side, Xuan Ye watched Xu Tiantian come back, and waved his hand in that direction,
"How's it going, but found another hole?"
Disgusted, he walked over, a little dejected, "I've been looking for a long time, and I haven't found any other holes, could it be that this rabbit really has only one hole?" ”
Xuan Ye stood up, half a head taller than Xu Tiantian, and looked at Xu Tiantian's eyes as clear as a child.
"It's okay, it's just a hole, I've been looking for a long time, you're probably tired, otherwise you stay here, don't go anywhere, I'll take a look."
In desperation, Xu Tiantian had no choice but to nod, but she didn't have much hope.
Not to mention that Xuan Ye has already been beaten by someone and forgotten everything, just this child's heart, even if he sees the rabbit hole, he may not recognize it.
Xuan Ye carefully found a wooden stick and walked forward, not forgetting to turn over the stones as he went.
It's just that a piece of stone is extremely tightly blocked, and if there is a hole underneath, it is impermeable, and it is said that it is in summer, even in the cold winter, it is able to survive the winter unharmed.
He threw the stick aside, pulled away the snow, and gently lifted the stone, and sure enough, a hole was in front of him.
He set aside the stones, found some dead grass, and plugged the hole, and walked about two hundred paces, and in front of him there were some weeds, and a tree that had been cut down, with its stump exposed.
took the stone, blocked the hole to death, and after doing everything, he picked up the wooden stick in his hand before and found Xu Tiantian,
"Tiantian, I've found two rabbit holes, but I don't know if this rabbit only has three holes."
Xu Tiantian's eyes widened, and her face was incredulous. Could this be the legendary koi?
Xu Tiantian was glad that she had taken the fire fold when she came out, and now that she has something to eat, it will not make the two of them blind.
"All right, now let's go and light the dead grass and smoke the rabbit out of this hole, and you wait here for me to light the fire."
Xuan Ye nodded obediently, this time he didn't refuse to let Xu Tiantian act alone, after all, when this rabbit ran out, he had to guard the entrance of the cave alone.
Looking at the appearance of these holes blocked by Xuan Ye, Xu Tiantian began to wonder if there was a problem with his IQ, and he couldn't even compare to a person with a burned brain.
When Xu Tiantian set the fire back, Xuan Ye carried a few rabbits, obviously those rabbits had been knocked out by him,
"Tiantian, Tiantian, look, six rabbits have run out!"
Xu Tiantian looked at the rabbits, all of which were very big, but she had some guilt in her heart.
Shook her head, and threw off all those guilty feelings, Guanyin Master really didn't have a good heart, she had been in this ghost place for so long, and she hadn't even eaten a decent meal, so it was easy to have some tender rabbit meat now, and she naturally wouldn't let it go.
"How can these rabbits last for ten days and half a month, Xuanye, let's pay attention to them when we go down the mountain to see if we can try our luck again and dig up some wild vegetables."
