Chapter 20: God's Cabin
Three days through Qingyuan Mountain, how far to go every day is planned in advance, Tianyou also deliberately set aside time to deal with the unexpected, but because today's route is very smooth, so everyone arrived at the scheduled camp a little earlier.
The team stopped in front of a steep slope, and Tianyou observed the surroundings before telling everyone to rest here today.
Ying Ying, who had been worried that it would be too late, asked Tianyou a little unwillingly: "It's not dark yet, why don't you keep going?" It's at least more than an hour after dark." ”
Tianyou looked at Ying Ying with a little anxiety on her face, and patiently explained to her. "This is the fork in the route, and we have to decide whether to go to the Valley of the Hundred Beasts or climb the Wind and Snow Ridge, and we haven't made a decision yet. The Valley of the Hundred Beasts is just ahead, and after entering the valley is a large dense forest, under the trees are poisonous scorpions, the trees are full of giant snakes, and there are shallow crocodiles in the river next to it, so there is no place to camp at all. The vertical drop of Fengxue Ridge is 700 zhang, and the average inclination angle is more than 60 degrees...... That's the slope. Tianyou compared with his hand, "The tent can't be fixed at all, and if you turn over, you will roll all the way down the mountain." And the ridge is full of snow, dripping into ice, we have nothing to protect against the cold, it is okay to walk all the time, and if we fall asleep at night, we will freeze to death. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry!" Ying Ying said with some embarrassment. After getting along this day, she is no longer as high as before.
Tianyou habitually stretched out a hand and pressed it on Ying Ying's shoulder, and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, I said that I will definitely do it if I send you to Taoyuan City in three days." ”
Ying Ying was a little surprised by Tianyou's movements, usually no one dared to touch her body at will, especially men. But somehow, she didn't reject Tianyou's contact, and even had a faint hint of joy.
"What are you doing?" The annoying Lu Zhengyi jumped out again, and found that Tianyou actually put his hand on Yingying's shoulder, and he immediately pointed at Tianyou and yelled.
Tianyou looked at Lu Zhengyi a little confused, and didn't react for a while What happened to this guy, but when he turned back, he saw that his arm on Ying Ying's shoulder suddenly understood. Quickly withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and for a moment he didn't know where to put it.
Originally, if Tianyou had been left there, it would be nothing, but this time it made Ying Ying even more shy, and the original trace of redness had a tendency to spread rapidly to her neck.
"I went to prepare the camp. In order to hide the embarrassment, Tianyou hurriedly found an excuse and ran away, Ying Ying just nodded shyly, and then hurriedly walked to the other side. Lu Zhengyi still wanted to be unrelenting, but Bai Bingyu suddenly gave him a kick from behind, and glanced at him after Lu Zhengyi turned his head, which made him a little inexplicable, but he didn't dare to continue to make trouble.
The slopes are steep, with large bare rocks in many places, and the soil is very thin, with little vegetation on the surface, except for a few shrubs on the turf. Tianyou walked to the edge of a boulder with a familiar way, and gently pushed it from the side, and it seemed that the boulder weighing at least dozens of tons was easily tilted to one side, revealing a gap that was enough for people to enter and exit. Behind that gap was a swarthy hole.
"Come on, we'll spend the night here tonight. Tianyou said and got into it himself.
Without the support of Tianyou, the boulder immediately returned to its original angle to block the hole, revealing only a palm-wide gap. Lu Meng, who was curious about the baby, immediately ran over and tentatively pushed the boulder, but it tilted to the side without much force, revealing the hole just now.
"Is this stone fake? Why is it so light?" Lu Meng curiously repeated the action of pushing away and then letting go, watching the boulder swing back and forth, and he was addicted to playing.
Bai Bingyu held the boulder with one hand, and said as he walked in: "Do you remember the wooden man on my family's martial arts field? ”
"Oh, I see. Lu Meng nodded suddenly and followed in.
The space inside the cave is unexpectedly large, but the height is not high, and it is slightly oppressive, but the air is very fresh, and there should be other ventilation holes.
Tianyou didn't know where to get a torch, and it was lighting a fire, and soon the fire was lit, and the cave immediately became a lot brighter. Bai Bingyu and Lu Meng looked around the situation in the cave, and were surprised to find that there were tables, chairs and benches here, although they were all made of stone and the workmanship was very rough, but the general shape could be seen. The most striking thing is that in the deepest part of the cave there is a large stone bed, covered with thick hay, and a large animal skin cushion on it.
"Is this your home?" Lu Meng asked curiously and excitedly as she walked inside. Looking at her seems to be very interesting to live in a cave, anyway, everything feels fresh.
Tianyou looked back at the lively Lu Meng, and said funny: "I'm not a savage, what cave do I have nothing to live in?" This is a temporary foothold, sometimes chasing prey runs too deep, and it is too late to go back at night, so I deal with it all night." ”
Bai Bingyu casually picked up a wooden bowl and said, "I have lived in the forest hut built by the hunter before, but this is the first time I have seen the stone one. ”
"What is the first time you saw you?" Ying Ying and they also came in. Seeing the situation inside, they all let out exclamations, only Lu Zhengyi snorted coldly with disdain.
Bai Bingyu glanced at Ying Ying and said, "I said that I used to live in a temporary hunting lodge built by hunters, but this is the first time I've seen a stone." ”
"This is Brother Tianyou's hunting lodge?" Yin Ruhua asked with a little surprise, she had just been blocked by Ying Ying and the others in front, and she hadn't seen the tables, chairs and beds inside.
Qin Bo stretched out his hand and touched the stone wall. "It was dry and there were ventilation holes, which was a nice place. When I was young, if there was such a cave, my wife would ...... Hey, I think too much and think too much, and when people are older, they like to reminisce about the past! Oh my God, don't you bake a lot here? Even if you have good ventilation, you shouldn't do that?"
"Unless it's raining for a few days in a row, I don't usually bake it specifically. The ground in this place is full of stones, and the water is kept out. There are also several vents on it, which are not too wet. Every time I visit, I have to make a fire at night to keep warm, even if it is to bake the walls. However, it will not be possible to stay in the rainy season in two months, at least until the rainy season has passed after mid-May. ”
"Is this place leaking?" asked Lu Meng.
"Not really, I'm afraid of landslides. ”
Although many of us have never heard of the word landslide, you can understand what it means when you think about it.
Inserting the torch into a hole carved out of the stone wall, Tianyou took three more torches, lit them and inserted them in various places in the cave, and the surrounding area immediately lit up.
"Let's do it ourselves. Tianyou said: "The stone bed is big enough, you girls are okay to sleep together, right?" I haven't used it for a long time, I need to take it out and shake it." It's good to take a look while the sun is still there. ”
Bai Bingyu moved quickly, went up and tore off the big animal skin, and then ordered Yin Ruhua, Mu Ruyu, and Lu Meng to go out with her to dry the licorice.
"What about us?" asked Lu Zhengyi.
"It's just a bed, you big man can't deal with it all night? It's a big deal, let them share a quilt with you and sleep against the wall." ”
Tianyou was about to arrange for Uncle Qin, but Uncle Qin took the initiative to say: "I rarely sleep at night, and it's the same with practicing meditation instead of sleeping." ”
"Shall I get you a mat then?"
"Forget it if it's troublesome. ”
"It doesn't cost much. "After all, Uncle Qin is an old man, and he still knows that he respects the old and loves the young.
After the arrangement, Tianyou began to wander around the cave, checking here for a while, and touching there for a while, Lu Zhengyi and Qin Bo couldn't see what he was doing, until Lu Meng's girl came back and followed Tianyou for a long time.
"What are you spilling?"
"Realgar powder mixed with snake grass essential oil. Tianyou said as he put away the medicine bag and medicine bottle. "There aren't many plants here, there aren't many bugs, but it's not completely absent. Sprinkle this thing on all the vents, snakes, insects, rats and ants will not dare to approach, and you can sleep more peacefully at night. You don't want bugs crawling on your face in the middle of the night, do you?"
"Huh......" Lu Meng writhed uncomfortably. "Don't talk about it, I'm sick just thinking about it!"
There are few little girls who like insects, Lu Meng is just more lively, and she is not a woman, so of course she doesn't like insects.
scared Lu Meng away, Tianyou turned around and found that Qin Bo didn't know where to conjure up a broom and was sweeping the floor, it was estimated that he also had space equipment, but after looking at it again, Lu Zhengyi was standing aside with his hands in his hands, and somehow a wave of anger rose up.
"Lu Gongzi, if it's okay, can you go get some firewood? ”
"I ......"
"Go. Bai Bingyu just came in, and sent the goods away with two words. Walking into the cave and looking around, Bai Bingyu asked, "Do we eat dry food at night?"
"No, I don't. I'm a hunter. Can you still eat dry food after entering the mountain?" Tianyou said and took out his bow and arrows and some small tools from the defective product worry-free bag that he had just arrived, looked at Yin Ruhua and the others who came in from outside, and simply reminded: "If you don't want to stay in the cave, just pick up some firewood nearby, but don't go far, in case you get lost, it will be very troublesome." Especially in that direction. Tianyou pointed, "Don't go over, it's the Valley of the Hundred Beasts, and you can't get out if you don't bring it in." ”
"I'll go with you. Bai Bingyu, who has always been cold to others, unexpectedly took the initiative to ask for companionship, and the reason is very good. "There are too many of us, you can't take much by yourself. Carefree bags can't hold living things, not even those who have just died. ”
This is the first time that Tianyou knows that the original dead animal can't be packed in the worry-free bag, and he didn't have such high-end equipment before, so he naturally didn't know this kind of small detail.
"Oh well. Thinking that Bai Bingyu was the most reliable one among this group of young people, Tianyou did not refuse. If she really encounters any trouble, with her performance along the way, maybe she can really help. "You guys rest here first, and you have nothing to do to discuss which way to go tomorrow. As he spoke, he turned to Bai Bingyu: "Let's go." ”
