35. Take a short break
I see, this attic is probably leading to the outside, which is why the strange birds have been gathering here for a long time.
"Can we get out of here?" I asked.
"To die? It's full of strange birds, and your bones are going to be pecked to pieces before you can climb out. Menyue Bin pressed my head, turned and left the pavilion, and ran towards the tombway.
After running for a while, a stone door was pushed open, and Hu Yinman stretched out a head and pulled us in.
It was a burial chamber full of lattices, and in the latticework were neatly placed rows of books, although some of them were old and yellow, but the sheer number of them was enough to shock me.
"Could this be the way out?" Men Yue Bin looked around.
"Probably not. This is just a library pavilion, and most of the books in it are alchemy and ancient books for cultivating immortals. There is another house next door like this, but it is bigger, and it feels empty and unlivable. β
I thought to myself, damn, this is someone's tomb, can you pay attention to your words, inexplicably broke in, took a large bag of things, and actually considered whether it was suitable for living.
"By the way, when it comes to the way out, I still think that the pavilion above the Dragon Hall is an exit." I thought about the birds I had seen before, although they looked weird, but the posture of swooping into the water was very similar to a bird on Poyang Lake, ospreys, that is, cormorants, this creature eats fish, and is good at diving, so if they come from Poyang Lake, then there must be a way to the outside from the pavilion built on the mountain.
Then I told them my inferences and the information about the strange birds.
We each pondered for a few minutes, and finally Hu Yinman nodded: "I think what Xiao Sheng said is right, I have heard of cormorants, and there are people on Poyang Lake who raise them and use them to hunt fish." And those cormorants are most likely from Poyang Lake. β
"The way out, we have solved it for the time being, but there are still two problems in front of us, and it shouldn't be three." I held up three fingers: "Let's not talk about food and the cold, those birds seem to be perched on top of the pavilion, and if we want to climb up from there, it is no different from sending us to death." β
Hearing my words, Menyue Bin seemed to remember something, and he pulled his clothes and flipped them over, and after a while he pulled out a windproof lighter.
"I'm Cao, you still have this good thing!" Hu Yinman snatched it up and gave him a thumbs up: "Sure enough, the man who smokes is the most reliable." β
"There was no place to make a fire before!" Menyue Bin said and glanced at the room full of ancient books.
"This is a relic, what do you want to do?" I was taken aback.
"If you don't do anything, are you waiting here to die?" Hu Yinman looked at me and said coldly.
"That can't be ...... either."
"Why not? I think the nonsense is very right, what's the situation, and I don't care about it. β
This time, those two people were on the same side, but how could I, a man with a socialist education, do such a thing! "I don't think so."
"I think you're not lightly ill, if you want to die, get out of the way." Hu Yinman pushed me.
I was also shivering with cold, the cold air in the deep water, crazy devouring me, my thighs were half numb, pushed by Hu Yinman like this, my feet were unstable, I stumbled against the wall, I stretched out my hand and half of the book turned a few pages, fell to the ground, I looked down and saw that it was full of patterns of some Taoist talismans and some feng shui mountains and rivers.
Menyue Bin stared at the pages for a long time, and held back two words: "Superstition." β
Hu Yinman: "......." β
Me: "WhatΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β· What the?. β
"Fuck, Lao Tzu knows that these things are some feudal superstitious stuff, you see, the content of the book is all some things that promote superstition, if this flows to the market, wouldn't it mess up the atmosphere of my big country, think back then, look at the present, I still have a word 'burn'!" After saying this sentence in a grand manner, Menyue was indignant and excited, pointing out the posture of the country.
"I'll top you." Hu Yinman sneezed and raised his hand: "What are you kidding, this is all dead, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be, is it possible that you can be rated as a person who moved China without a fever?" β
"I'll follow you, I'm not involved anyway!"
In this way, they began the point of no return of "burning books for warmth".
Ten minutes later, when the fire was rising and the warmth of spring gradually spread to my side, I began to struggle in these two extreme environments, not to mention that the water of the underground sea really made me feel uncomfortable, and the biting cold air penetrated into my bones every inch. Looking at the high fire over there, I finally couldn't resist the temptation to climb over. After a while, the thick warmth dispelled the cold in the bones of his body. "Ah, that's comfortable." I stretched on the ground, and my bones felt crispy.
"What are you doing here?" Hu Yinman glanced at me.
I hummed for a moment and was surprised: "Shouldn't the light of socialism shine on every successor of socialism?" β
Hu Yinman's expression was solemn when he heard this, he glanced at me, and spit out a word: "Get out!" Then he scolded me and drove me out of the door, saying that there is no reliable man, and he knows that he has seen through Qingfu.
I didn't know what was going on at the time, so I was kicked out of the library with a book and a lighter.
"What is he doing here?" I stood a little speechless outside the door of the library, how capricious this woman was.
"She's going to bake clothes." Menyue Bin sighed: "You haven't experienced women yet, and when the time comes, you will understand that what women say to you has a strong purpose." β
"So what?"
"So don't take a woman's words lightly, she just makes an excuse to kick us out, in fact, you don't care what you say, when she asks you questions, your ending is fixed."
ββ¦β¦γβ
"Forget it, there's a burial chamber over there anyway, let's go over and take a look."
Carefully pushing open the door, we found that this tomb was actually a treasure pavilion, no, it is more appropriate to say that it is a "music room", which has a complete set of chimes, chimes, harps, seers, flutes and figurines.
"This Marquis of Haidun is a fun-loving master, so it's not surprising that there is such a thing in the tomb, but it's a pity that these things can't be transported."
I sighed and said, "If you really dare to take these things out, it will be absolutely ruined." β
"Yes! However, it is a pity that we have never seen what the upper level of the tomb looks like. β
"Maybe the upper echelons are even more dangerous! You can rest assured, now that you have the keel, all you need to do is to get out safely. β
Men Yuebin nodded, and said earnestly: "Thank you, in fact, it is not easy for you to go this way, so my brother will take you to a good place for you to see and understand." β
He lit the fire and looked at me with a wicked smile, and if it weren't for the tomb, I would have thought he was going to take me to a place of shame!
Then we went to the Yin Sea to fetch a few large pots of water, and used the temperature of the fire and the method of distillation to refine the seawater repeatedly to desalinate it, and unexpectedly caught a few fish in the meantime, so we used half of the books in the library to make this cold burial chamber as warm as spring.
"Huh." I burped and squinted against the wall to get ready to rest.
"How! My brother is a person who can live! β
"Hmm!" I nodded, "Brother, you're awesome." β
"Hehe, you go see that woman again!" With a look of disdain on his face, he whispered in my ear: "Brother tells you, women, are the most unreliable. It's still comfortable to live with a man! β
When I heard this, my eyes rolled and I thought, how the fuck this sounds twisted, until I heard the last sentence, I snorted coldly, and subconsciously moved half a step away from him.
However, the of Menyue Bin didn't even feel that he had said anything wrong, hummed a little song, and went to grill another fish by himself.
After eating and drinking, we put our dried clothes on the floor and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept this night, I didn't even dream, and when I woke up, I heard the sound of whirring in my ears, which was the sound of birds flying by in flocks.
I got up and looked at my watch, and it was already 7 a.m.
"What's going on?" Kadokoshi asked me.
"Listen to it yourself, it should be the sound of a flock of birds flying by." I said, "Fortunately, yesterday we closed the stone door in order to prevent the damp water from coming in, otherwise those birds would not have pecked us to death this time!" β
We climbed up and pushed the stone door open a crack, and I saw the ospreys follow the flocks above the dragon hall and then fly into the pavilion.
"Last night was homecoming, this morning is out of the nest." "These birds also have a regular life and rest routine. β
I nodded, and what Menkoshi said was right, these birds must have their own biological system to thrive in this place, fly out to fish in the morning, and come back to rest at night, so yesterday those ospreys all disappeared after a small number of attacks on us, and it seems that they went back to perch.
In this way, we pinched our watches in this small room and prepared to finish the day and wait until the next day to go out, but as soon as the cormorants flew away, Hu Yinman came and knocked on the door.
"Go catch me some fish to grill and eat, I'm hungry."
"Who?" I asked rhetorically after a pause.
"Okay, it's you."
"Why don't you go?"
"Why do you have so many fart problems, my mother's clothes are still baking, and I just took a shower, how can I have time?" Queen Hu reprimanded loudly, and then went home.
I sat on the ground with a blinded face, and glanced at Menyue Bin who was lying on the ground ready to sleep, but he shook his head and continued to squint.
I had no choice but to catch a few more fish, wrap them in paper and roast them and send them to Hu Yinman.
But as soon as I pushed open the door of the tomb, I was so frightened by the sight that I threw out all the fish in my hand.
It was a graceful carcass, with a slender waist and plump buttocks, snow-white skin, and a flush everywhere. She didn't seem to notice my existence, lowered her head, combed her hair, and walked forward, slender and jade-footed, step by step, long hair hanging silky on the fragrant shoulders, like a fairy, and like a charm, parting flowers and willows, fluttering into the painting.
But in the next second, this fairy became a devil, she covered her chest, scolded and fucked you, and rushed towards me.
