Chapter 029: Go or Stay
In the cave, a cool breeze came from the entrance of the cave.
I stood in the cave, and after a moment of silence, I decided, "If you don't leave, we'll stay here." ”
"So what do we do if it comes? You can't beat it. Liu Tingting said worriedly.
I shook my head and said, "It's been decades, maybe it has left this desert island, or maybe it has been destroyed by other more powerful masters, not to mention that if it is really still on this island, even if we leave this cave, we can't escape its palm." ”
I can't figure it out anymore, it's been decades since the Taoist priest wrote it in his notebook.
It's been decades, and maybe it's gone, and it's been destroyed by other masters.
And even if it is really still on this desert island, where can Liu Tingting and I escape to, as long as we are on this desert island, we are not safe wherever we go.
"Well, since you're willing to stay, then I don't have a problem."
Liu Tingting said that it didn't matter, anyway, she followed me, and she could only follow me.
"Collect all these copper coins, if you find the red rope in the future, these Five Emperor coins will still be useful." I said.
"Hmm."
Liu Tingting nodded, and then collected these copper coins with me.
The broken purple fire red rope, the Taoist purple fire has been dispersed, so it is useless.
After putting all the Five Emperor Coins away, I wiped them clean and put them in my baggage.
After cleaning up the Five Emperor Coins scattered in the cave, I took Liu Tingting out, planning to look for some dry firewood, take advantage of the fact that it is daytime, look for more dry firewood, and then light firewood in the cave, so that the fire can be used to prevent the moisture of the cave, so that I can live comfortably.
Although there are not many trees in the valley, the valley is very large, and no one has ever collected dry firewood, and there is wood everywhere for many years.
On the ground, some of the wood has rotted.
On a large tree, I found many mushrooms.
I have seen this kind of tree in the countryside before, but I don't know how to speak Mandarin, I only know our native dialect, and I call this kind of tree a chemical tree. In Mandarin, there is also a kind of tree called Huajiao Tree, but that kind of Huajiao tree is not the same as the Huajiao tree in our native dialect.
This tree grows very fast, it can grow in the crevices of rocks, and where there is soil, it grows very quickly, although this tree can grow very tall, but the material is not strong, but the mushrooms that grow on this tree can be eaten and are non-toxic.
"Liu Tingting, mushrooms." I rejoiced.
The school flower came to me, looking at the clusters of white mushrooms, fan-shaped mushrooms, and she asked, "Can you eat them, I heard that some mushrooms are very poisonous and cannot be eaten at will." ”
"Don't worry, this mushroom can be eaten, I'll cook the mushroom for you to eat when I'm done." I said.
"Hmm."
Liu Tingting nodded happily, looking at these mushrooms, she actually drooled, she always ate meat in the past two days, and she didn't eat vegetarian dishes, she couldn't stand it.
At the foot of a hill along the mountain range, we found a small stream.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The murmuring sound of flowing water came like a heavenly sound.
Looking at this clear stream, Liu Tingting and I were very excited.
"Stream, stream, evergreen, there is actually a stream, it's great."
In the excitement, Liu Tingting actually hugged me and made a sound of laughter.
I enjoyed her hug, it was a good feeling.
Realizing her mistake, Liu Tingting immediately let go of me, and then ran over, she squatted by the stream, washed her hands, and then held the stream water with both hands, and drank non-stop.
I have been drinking coconut water for the past two days, and I can't stand it anymore, and I have long wanted to have clear streams.
I squatted by the creek, washed my hands, and drank non-stop.
It was so painful that I just felt that my stomach was swollen with alcohol, and even if I moved my body, there seemed to be the sound of running water in my stomach.
This stream is important and provides us with the convenience of staying here for a long time.
Liu Tingting touched her stomach and said, "I drank so much, but it's a pity that the stream water didn't converge into a pool, otherwise I must take a good bath." ”
Although this is the seaside, it is not advisable to bathe in the sea, because after bathing, after the skin dries, there will be a layer of white things on the body, which is sea salt.
"When I have time, I will definitely build a big pool for you here and let you bathe every day." I said.
"Really?" Liu Tingting asked.
"Of course."
I nodded and said seriously, "When the time comes, the two of us can take a bath together every day." ”
Speaking of which, I imagined that I would be taking a bath with the school flowers.
"Humph!"
Liu Tingting snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "You think about the beauty, you think too much." ”
I thought about it, but I was relentlessly hit by her and returned to reality.
Alas!
I don't have this life, but I will work hard, and one day, I will achieve this goal and reach the peak of life, which is the highest pursuit of my life.
Taking a break, I continued to look for dry firewood.
In less than two hours, we collected a lot of dry firewood.
However, Liu Tingting basically didn't pick up wood, just followed behind me and helped occasionally.
But I don't care, her small hands can't do too much rough work.
I carried some of the dry wood into the cave and drilled wood for a fire.
Half an hour later, a raging fire broke out in the cave.
The flames soared, and the entire cave turned into a sea of fire.
Even if you stand in the valley, you can feel the temperature, this fire, it is estimated that it will burn for two hours, with this fire, the cave will become very dry, I am a little excited to think that I and the school flower may have to live in this cave for a long time.
It's a long night, can we have some story, but unfortunately there is no wine.
Taking advantage of the time now, I put the bag left by the Taoist priest in the sun, fortunately this is a leather backpack, if it was an ordinary backpack, it is estimated that it would have been broken a long time ago.
There are also yellow talismans, talisman papers, etc., I will also take them out one by one.
Some of the yellow talismans with spells can still be used, and the talismans drawn by the Taoist priest before his death are much more powerful than the talismans I draw. People who walk differently will draw different charms with different powers.
After placing the charms on the rocks, I took a cowhide water bag and a small copper pot and planned to go to the stream to clean them.
This small copper pot is not big, but if you cook a full pot of soup, it is enough for two or three to eat.
As for the cowhide water bag, it can hold at least five or six catties of water.
The Taoist priest is really shabby, when he came to this island, he didn't even prepare much of anything, there was only a small copper pot, a cowhide water bag, it seems that this senior is also a camping master, as long as there are simple utensils, he can survive for a long time in the wilderness.
May we not follow in its footsteps and eventually die at the hands of 'it'.
When I got to the creek, I washed the small copper pot and the cowhide water bag and filled it with water.
There is still a raging fire in the cave, and we can't go back now, so Liu Tingting and I can only find a random place in the valley, raise a fire, make a stove with a few stones, and then get food.
I will bring the conch meat, as well as the shrimp meat, in a small copper pot and cook it with wild mushrooms.
Ten minutes later, the small copper pot was boiling, and the conch meat, shrimp meat, and wild mushrooms kept tumbling in the boiling water.
Extinguishing the fire, I broke off a few branches and used them as chopsticks.
Although there is no oil and water in the soup, Liu Tingting and I still eat with relish.
Conch meat, as well as shrimp meat, originally had no oil and water, and it was no different from vegetarian soup.
"It's delicious, this wild mushroom, and conch meat, shrimp meat is really delicious." Liu Tingting praised while eating.
"Eat more if it's delicious." I said.
"Wang Changqing, when you leave here in the future and return to the city, I will invite you to go to the hotel to eat abalone and lobster." Liu Tingting said.
I thought to myself, when she leaves here in the future, she probably won't know me anymore.
After eating and drinking and resting for a while, when we returned to the cave, the fire had been extinguished, but it was no longer damp in the cave.
We moved the rest of the dry firewood into the cave one by one to prevent it from raining.
With so much dry firewood stored in advance, you won't be afraid of rain even if it rains.
In addition, we also made a lot of hay to lay in the cave and use it as a bed to rest.
Looking at the hay floor, I smiled and said, "This floor is so good." ”
"Well, that's good, what do you want to say next?" Liu Tingting tilted her head and looked at me and asked.
Actually, I want to say, let's just roll the grass, but I think it's better to forget it, so as not to be scolded.
Time flies, and soon it's night again.
Tonight, there is still moonlight, under the bright moonlight, the mountains, the sea, it seems so quiet and silent.
And I also began to prepare to summon Teacher Zhao's ghost, I must find her, even if Teacher Zhao is dead and turned into a ghost, I can't let her be bullied by other lonely ghosts, and I don't want Teacher Zhao's ghost to wander alone on this desert island.
