Volume 2 Xia He Chapter 61 The Strange Messenger (II)
Today, God seems to have opened his eyes, and through the round mouth of the high pit roof, you can see a trace of sunlight that is not hot enough. www.biquge.infoButterflies flutter among the flowers, and birds shuttle happily in the air.
The thick branches of the ancient camphor tree are luxuriant, and the big bluestone below is the size of three dining tables, and I have been sitting on it since noon, looking at the trees and vines on the opposite stone wall.
I was completely shocked by the overheard conversation, which was a mystery that I could not imagine. In today's era, there are still secret sects that are only found in romance novels, and the elders and protectors of the sect are all acquaintances around them.
Even more palpitating was the information revealed in their conversation. I have known for a long time the genealogy of the craftsmen, and their conversation only confirms the legend that Daddy Gui told me and the words left by Yun Songzi in the underground cave of Mr. Wu's temple.
There is indeed a fascinating treasure hidden in the Longyan Cave - the craftsman's genealogy, which is undoubtedly true, and the craftsman gate where Uncle Liang Liu Yingguo and Yang Shigong are located is a secret organization established to protect strange books from being stolen.
In order to protect me, Uncle Liang is not afraid of falling out with Liu Yingguo, which makes me very grateful. He didn't know that I had known the secret for a long time, and I did have the idea of going into the cave to hunt for treasure, but not now.
Uncle Liang took care of me so much, but I hid something from him, which made me feel ashamed and guilty. Now that his secret identity is known, he is even more afraid to mention it. Listening to the tone of their argument last night, Liu Yingguo and they all had the idea of wanting to go into the cave to hunt for treasure, and if they wanted to admit me to get in, they actually wanted to use me to go into the cave to hunt for treasure, Uncle Liang finally exposed his attempt, Liu Yingguo was annoyed and angry, and accused Uncle Liang of pretending to be public and private, and wanted to instruct me to hunt for treasure in the future and take it for himself. The two fought fiercely at that time, Liu Yingguo repeatedly pressed each other as the owner of the door, and Uncle Liang did not say anything, I was afraid that they would find out the clues, so I was so frightened that I sneaked back to the cave and pretended to sleep.
I was glad that I was on the alert, and the three of them came back to the cave silently for a while when they went back to the cave, and it was much later that I heard their snoring after falling asleep. They fell asleep, but I couldn't sleep anymore, and I kept my eyes open until dawn, and when they all got up and came out of the cave, I squinted again.
I was listless all morning, sitting alone with my head bowed, not looking at any of them, Uncle Liang asked me with concern what was wrong, I thought I was too tired yesterday and a little uncomfortable prevaricating. Uncle Liang touched his forehead and checked his pulse, and finally forced me to sleep again.
The remaining eggs and sweet potatoes were all eaten in the morning, and at noon the six of us ate a pheasant, and we were not full. Director Kuang worriedly asked me if the weasel could deliver the letter, and I honestly relied on luck, but Uncle Liang comforted him that although he was relieved, he said that Rhubarb and Xiaohuang were very smart and psychic, and they would definitely be able to move to the rescue.
After noon, Liang Bo led the pick-up to find food, Director Kuang followed him all the way, Liu Yingguo and Yang Shigong did all the way, leaving me alone, and repeatedly told me to have a good rest.
It's time for the dark river to break again, and the dull sound of the water is gradually disappearing, and I think that there is no outlet for this pool, and that such a large river water is poured into it, but there must be one or more outlets, but I don't know if it is at the bottom of the pool or somewhere else, and where does the water flow in the end?
I wanted to go to the waterhole and get up and jump off the bluestone, and just then, I heard the familiar chirp - rock eagle! It's the call of the eaglet! Kitty is coming!
I looked up and saw a black shadow hovering around the round mouth at the top of the pit, and I shouted, "Little eagle! Eaglet! I am here! ”
Afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it, I quickly took off my coat and waved it in my hand, when a loud voice sounded on the waist of the pit, and the little eagle screamed.
The rock eagle coiled down and threw himself into the dark green halfway up the pit, presumably to Uncle Liang and Pickup.
I was ecstatic, it must have been Rhubarb and Xiaohuang who had moved to the rescue, and we would be able to get out of danger and go home in no time. I looked up at the top of the pit, I didn't see anyone shouting for a long time, I was suspicious, I suddenly heard a squeaky low cry from the side, and turned my head to see that it was Rhubarb and Xiaohuang. They scurried up to me one after the other, and I crouched down to hold them in my arms.
It's amazing! It worked, they really got the letter and brought the people with them.
Their bodies were wet, their little pointed noses twitching, and they were wheezing like dogs. I fondly stroked their soft fur and couldn't wait to kiss them.
Oh no, the cloth rope around Rhubarb's neck is still there, and the small wooden stick tied to the bag letter is still there, I was stunned for a moment, could it be that the family also brought the letter?
I couldn't care about anything else, so I hurriedly took off the small wooden stick, unwrapped the cloth strip, pulled out the small wooden stopper, took out the paper roll and opened it, and was immediately shocked: what kind of reply is this, it is clearly the distress letter written by Yang Shigong.
The distress letter was brought back by Rhubarb intact, that is, Rhubarb's letter was not delivered, no one in the house saw the letter, and it became a fantasy that someone came to save him. I sat on the ground like a deflated ball.
Hope was shattered, I felt like I had fallen into the abyss, my heart was suddenly cold, and I sat on the ground in a daze.
A strong wind blew and I came back to my senses. I saw the mighty eaglet standing in front of me, and the big yellow in my arms was gone, I don't know when they left, the hollowed out sticks and cloth ropes were all left at my feet, and I only had the distress letter in my hand.
The eaglet's little head was level with me sitting on the ground, its usual eagle eyes, its beak was almost touching my face, its folded wings trembled gently, I seemed to see a long-lost relative, reaching out to hold its body, and its eyes began to fog and damp.
After a while, Uncle Liang and the others came down, and snatched the eaglet out of my arms without saying anything, Uncle Liang noticed my abnormality, walked over quickly and took away the piece of paper in my hand, and asked with an unusually ugly face: "Is this the case?" ”
I replied very frustratedly: "Rhubarb is back, the letter has not been delivered, and no one has come to save me, so I am afraid it will be really difficult to get out now." ”
Uncle Liang frowned and was silent for a while, and suddenly said happily: "Red lady, you are wrong, Rhubarb delivered the letter, and brought us rescuers!" Rhubarb: It's so smart, it's amazing! Uh, what about rhubarb? ”
I said absentmindedly: "Rhubarb, they are a little afraid of the eaglet, and as soon as the eaglet comes, they hide." ”
Uncle Liang was visibly excited, and leaned over to pick up the short wooden stick and cloth rope that contained the letter. I didn't know what I meant, but I looked up at him, and as he refolded the piece of paper and stuffed it into the stick, he said to me, "You think, how did Kitty come here?" It was rhubarb that attracted them. Rhubarb is an animal after all, it can't speak, and it's afraid of people, even if it knows your sister, it won't be as close as it is to you. And I guess there must be a lot of people in your house these days, even if you are at home, they probably don't dare to enter the house. It's good that they are psychic, and they can't send letters, so they know to bring Kitty Hawks. With Kitty Hawk, why worry about not being able to send a letter? Haha, we really don't have to worry about it now. ”
It dawned on me, and then I sighed at the intelligence and righteousness of rhubarb. To lure their natural enemy, the rock eagle, here, they have to risk their lives and go through hardships, no wonder they are damp and panting just now, and they look too tired to do it. This act of theirs is fully worthy of the title of "righteous act", and I cannot help but be in awe.
Uncle Liang tied the small wooden stick that had been rewrapped to Kitty Hawk's thick steel legs, and was about to release it. At this time, Liu Yingguo and Yang Shigong also returned, and Uncle Liang told them about the situation, which caused a burst of heartfelt amazement and emotion.
The eaglet hovered with our hopes, and with a chirp, disappeared from our eager gaze.
After escaping the danger, I learned that we did not go out of the cave the next day after entering the cave, and the village exploded that night, and my house was crowded with neighbors, because there was Director Kuang in the cave, and the matter alarmed the government, and on the third day, the county public security bureau, the district government, and the police station all came, and more than 30 armed militia members were transferred from the commune to set up a search and rescue headquarters, preparing to go into the cave to find us the next day. The search and rescue team set off overnight, Guan Boniang took the eaglet with him, and arrived at the bottom of the mountain near the sinkhole after dawn, but could not find the specific location, or thanks to the little eaglet, Guan Boniang released it out of the cage after it flew straight to the sinkhole, which allowed them to find the sinkhole, and at noon we were all rescued.
When I got home, I asked my sister Xiaoling, and the facts she told me were similar to our guesses. She said that there were many people in the family that night, Uncle Kuang, Uncle Guan, and many of them were drunk, and she had seen a weasel flash when she stood at the window, and she was as anxious and worried as her mother at that time, how could she have any other thoughts? She didn't recognize it as rhubarb at all, and she didn't take it to heart.
