I know that Liu Manqi's later sentence of "no matter how important it is" is actually telling me that once the fire is ignited, Biroba will not care about marrying Meng Xiang.

In fact, I had the same idea, so we did it right away.

Although the two clay pots were filled with animal fat, it was not the cold season, and although the oil in the pots was viscous, it had not solidified.

The plank didn't fit well with the hole, so I poured the small jar of oil on the ground and watched the grease slowly seep out of the gap between the plank and the ground.

I wasn't completely sure that the grease would seep into the ground and not burn at all. I was afraid that the grass would be too far away from the entrance of the cave, and I would set it on fire with oil, but it would not work.

But at this time, I was desperate, and when the oil in the small clay pot was poured, I took the large clay pot handed over by Gao Lingkai and carefully poured it slowly along the oil spots that had just been poured out.

After that, Liu Manqi held the wick of the oil lamp that had been burning in his hand, and he was also careful to ignite the grease on the ground.

But animal fat is not easy to ignite, Liu Manqi tried several times, and finally simply put the whole wick in the oil spot, and stuffed it out of the gap between the wooden board and the ground, and finally, a faint flame slowly burned along the wick, and gradually burned to the outside of the wooden board.

The three of us anxiously stood behind the plank, but the plank blocked our view, and we couldn't see if the little flame was burning in front of the grass.

It was a really hard time, and every minute and second seemed like a year and a half had passed.

It wasn't until the firelight outside reflected into the cave along the crack in the door, and it was getting brighter and brighter, that Gao Lingkai jumped up with joy and shouted, "It's successful!" It's burning! ”

I was also overjoyed, seeing wisps of black smoke seeping into the cave along the crack in the door, and hurriedly ordered Gao Lingkai: "Quickly pull Jiang Xin into the cave, there will definitely be a lot of smoke before those clansmen arrive." ”

Gao Lingkai immediately bent down, grabbed Jiang Xin's shoulders with both hands, and dragged him into the hole hard.

Liu Manqi also stepped forward to help, Jiang Xin was dragged by them, muttered and opened his eyes, looking at the appearance, fortunately, the situation did not get worse.

The fire outside the cave was getting brighter and brighter, but it was blocked by wooden planks, and although there was smoke running into the cave, it was not very serious.

Instead, with the firelight, shouting, scolding, and miscellaneous footsteps began to be heard outside.

Although we can't see it, we can imagine that there must be a lot of people outside who are using various tools to carry water to extinguish the fire.

I was afraid that the people outside would put out the fire and leave, and when the fire gradually decreased, I quickly asked Liu Manqi to get close to the plank and shout.

The call consisted of two words: "We know where your holy things are!" Let us out, and we can help you find the relics! ”

But it was always very noisy outside, and I couldn't confirm whether anyone outside could hear Liu Manqi's shouts. Even if you hear it, can you understand it completely?

I remembered that Bi Luoba once spoke two sentences of Chinese to me, so after Liu Manqi shouted a few times, I joined forces with Gao Lingkai and shouted in Chinese a few times.

Finally, the noise outside had subsided a little, and we waited anxiously for a while, and were about to open our mouths to scream again, but we heard a "squeak" sound, and the wooden plank blocking the entrance of the cave slowly moved outside.

The fire outside had been extinguished, but there were still some remnants of sparks, and as the planks were removed, smoke poured into the cave.

Gao Lingkai and I hurriedly set up Jiang Xin left and right, and Liu Manqi took the lead out of the hole.

Because the entrance to the cave was not wide, Gao Lingkai and I could only walk out on our sides and carry Jiang Xin one after another.

As soon as we got out of the hole, several iron-tipped javelins were pointed at our chests.

When we looked up, several strong men with javelins in their hands stared at us, as if they were going to poke a few big holes in us at the slightest order from the leader.

Biroba stood on the periphery of the extinguished fire, looking at him in a new outfit, presumably he was indeed holding a marriage ceremony with Meng Xiang just now.

In front of Bilopa, there was another middle-aged strong man, with a majestic expression and a gloomy face, and when I saw Bilopa's respectful appearance half a step behind, I immediately guessed that this person must be Biloba's father, that is, the head of the family.

After we walked out of the cave, a strong man went into the cave to inspect it, and came out and whispered a few words back to the patriarch, whose face was even more like a layer of frost.

"You dare to set fire to the lamp oil of the Changming lamp in the Divine Cave, and do not light the sky lantern to worship the gods, for fear that the ancestors will blame and the gods will be angry!"

It's a chilling statement.

Of course, I know what it means to "light a sky lantern", but I heard him speak Chinese better than Biloba, and my heart was calmer.

"Respected Patriarch, we have no intention of offending the Celestials!" I tried to be as respectful and reverent as I could, "But I know that the nobles' relics are there, don't the patriarchs want to know?" ”

"The Han people are treacherous and cunning, why should I believe you?" The patriarch snorted coldly.

"You may not believe me, but I have seen the front part of the noble relic, which is a woman in a light veil holding a five or six-year-old child in her hand, right? And this woman, when you look at her at night, she doesn't have eyes and hair, right? ”

"Huh?" The patriarch's eyes narrowed sharply, staring straight at me.

I was undaunted and looked at him for a long time.

Finally, the patriarch shook his head at Bilobaro and said something in a low voice.

Biroba hurriedly agreed, and then "grunted" and commanded loudly.

The men who were pointing at us with javelins immediately drove us forward with their javelins.

Others took torches and headed their heads to open the way.

Biloba followed me, and I felt his eyes were gloomy, staring at me all the time.

The moonlight was very clear, but when it was illuminated by the torches, it looked much darker.

Still, I could see shacks made of thatched bark scattered in a depression surrounded by mountains.

There is also a bamboo building, surrounded by shacks.

There is an open space in front of the bamboo building, and a large bonfire is lit in the open space, presumably around which Bilopa's marriage ceremony is held.

"Colliers! Is it really you? Colliers! ”

Before I got close to the bonfire, I heard Meng Xiang's shout, which included the ecstasy of reunion after the catastrophe and the choking of the tiger's mouth.

"Meng Xiang, it's me, don't worry, I will definitely save you!"

I didn't see Meng Xiang there at all, so I didn't care about yelling.

"Save her? I think you kid will save his life first! Bilopa snorted coldly beside me.

I ignored him, just eagerly looking for Meng Xiang's figure.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for me to see Meng Xiang behind the campfire.
