Chapter 36: Follow the Lotus
I heard the voice, looked over there, and saw Liu Shidong stumbling and almost falling. Wang Dake's cheers stopped abruptly, grabbed Liu Dongxi's arm, and I hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Liu Dongxi from behind, and dragged it back desperately.
The three of us have all been trained in the past, and the combined strength is not trivial. But even like this, it was still dragged forward little by little. I couldn't see below, and I estimated in my heart that Liu Shiwu might have caught a monster and shouted for him to let go. However, Liu Dongxi wrapped the thread in his hand for many circles, but he couldn't get rid of it in a hurry. Seeing that the angler was about to be eaten by the fish, I used all my strength to eat.
At this time, it was complicated, but in fact, it was only a few seconds, and I realized that what are we fighting with this monster? Maybe people just turned over, we fought hard here, why don't we cut the rope? Before I could stretch out my hand, Lu Yan swept past me, and withdrew the light sword from behind my waist, and his hand fell off the line. The broken thread made a burst of wind and disappeared, and the three of us fell into a ball.
Before I could get up, I heard a crisp slap. Looking back, Liu Dongxi covered his face with one hand and grabbed a square scarf with the other, and then saw Wang Dake holding his neck with one hand and staring at Liu Dongxi angrily.
I thought to myself, Liu Shi, this is too unusual, eating tofu at any time, deserving of being beaten. Liu Shixin handed over the square scarf with a scream, and he didn't know what to say. I smiled and ignored them and looked out into the water. The dark green water under the cliff suddenly turned a light color, and the dark green was slowly moving towards the center of the water.
The monster probably didn't notice the slightest pain, and if it had bothered us, we'd probably have to run into the hole again.
Lu Yan stood beside me, silently looking into the distance. On a whim, I asked, "Have you been to this place?" ”
Lu Yan nodded and shook his head, noncommittal.
Liu Shiwu suddenly got out, holding a well-stringed bow and crossbow, and swept around in the water.
"What are you doing, Liu, and the idea of catching those fish?"
"Of course, what else are we going to eat?" Liu Dongxiping stretched out his hand with a crossbow, as if he was estimating the distance of parallax in the water.
"Be careful of hitting the big one again!"
"It's okay, I'll just pick up what I can see!"
At this time, there were a few big fish swimming in the water, and Liu Dongxi immediately followed, and after a little glance, a crossbow arrow dragged a long rope and pierced it. Generally speaking, the first shot is not accurate, and can only provide a ballistic basis for subsequent shots. But Liu Dongxi is indeed quite talented in the bow and crossbow, and only this arrow shot through the fish's head, and the blood was suddenly smeared, and the fish swam blindly a few times before straightening up and not moving!
Liu looked at me proudly and began to reel in the line, but I was horrified to find that several other fish began to bite at the dead fish fiercely, and a bowl of meat was a bowl of meat in one bite. Liu Dongxi also saw this situation, and his hand suddenly sped up, and finally raised the surface of the water before the fish was gnawed away, and those fish did not give up, and even jumped out of the water to compete for fish meat, but with my help, our prey came out of the water quickly, and there was no loss.
The appearance of this fish is somewhat similar to that of a sturgeon, with a layer of black skin on its body, and although it is more than a meter long, it has a feeling of thief's eyebrows and rat eyes. At this moment, he was shot through the head, and a lot of meat was missing on his body, which made him even more unsightly.
I asked Liu, "Do you know this fish?" Can you eat it? ”
"I don't know, but I'm sure I can eat it!"
"How do you know?"
"I've never heard of something so big that I can't eat!"
I think Liu Dongxi's rhetoric is very unreliable, and Wang Dake continued, "Liu Dongxi, you eat first, and we'll eat it if it's okay." ”
Liu Shifu looked up very resentfully and said, "It's all been gnawed like this, do you still need me to try?" ”
Everyone laughed dumbly, and no one cared about what Liu Dongxi did to Wang Dake just now and why he was slapped in the face. Liu Dongxi happily cut the fish and made a fire to barbecue, while I sat on the side and chatted with Wang Dake, still thinking about what to do next. And Lu Yan was still sitting on the edge of the cave so quietly, although he was alone, his back was not lonely at all, because it was full of Wang Dake's eyes!
Soon the fish was ready, and each of the four took a piece and munched on it. Liu Dongxi passionately introduced this grilled fish, using his unique secrets, mastering the square face in the heat to reach the peak, and enclosing the fresh flavor and juice of the fish in the fish.
Maybe it was because they were hungry, but no one stopped chewing to talk to Liu Shi, and the wind swept away the grilled fish.
The rest of this fish is indeed not small, and the four of us ate less than a fifth of it after eating it wildly. The rest of the Liu things were hung on the fire and slowly roasted, ready to be kept as dry food.
At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and Liu Dongxi extinguished the fire and baked the fish on it. Water creatures love to chase light sources, and it's fun to be targeted by the monsters in the water.
Finally had a full meal, but the sleepiness rushed up, everyone didn't have anything to say, they stared at the remnant sun outside in a daze, as if thinking about life.
"I think we have to go back!" I was the first to break the silence, "We can't go down this place, even if we come here, it's the end, if you want to find the stone bones, you can only go back, and then go to Xiazhuang to have a look!" ”
Liu Dongxi nodded but did not speak, Wang Dake estimated that he had already known the ins and outs from Liu Dongxi, and did not speak to ask.
I turned to look at her, "You said you saw someone you didn't know coming out of a hole, didn't you?" ”
"Yes!"
"Was that guy the last to crawl out?"
"That's right, isn't he your friend named Ge What?" Wang Dake asked me a little confused.
"Can you still recognize which hole?" Instead of answering her, I threw the next question.
Wang Dake hesitated, "It's hard to say...... Those holes are all the same, it's hard to tell, and you can only roughly determine which ones they are! ”
I thought back for a moment that the hole in that place was indeed as dense as a honeycomb, and besides, the girl must have been so frightened that she was unable to find out the entrance of a cave at that time.
Liu Dongxi said: "Just know the general direction, let's go in and have a look, there will definitely be clues!" ”
Wang Dake nodded, "I can remember the direction, it's at three o'clock on the road we are taking." ”
I nodded and was about to speak, but Liu Shixi suddenly said, "The question is, how do we get over?" ”
"What's this, just let it pee again!" I picked up little Adam who was arching behind me, and when I saw little Adam hanging his little hooves and exposing his little belly, Wang Dake's eyes seemed to be about to flow down. Strange to say, Wang Dake has always shown great affection and desire for little Adam, but this clingy little thing has always ignored her.
Liu Shixi smiled and said, "It's just like this!" ”
At this time, Lu Yan spoke, "Go back, what should I do?" ”
This simple question pierced my head in an instant, yes! Why do we want to go back to that mysterious ancient house? There is no purpose for us, let alone a way out. I stared at Lu Yan's eyes, "Then what do you say?" ”
"Follow the lotus!" Lu Yan looked at the fire-like remnant sun outside and said expressionlessly.
