What, the old laurel tree can still run with long legs, the world is so big, I don't think it's strange, I listened to Runzi's words at this time, so I hurriedly jumped into the tree hole. A few seconds later, Junko jumped into the hollow of the tree and followed me closely.

After running for a distance and not hearing anything out of the ordinary, we were able to rest for a while.

Junko ran out of breath and said, "It soured me, and almost broke my hand......"

I tried to comfort him, but as soon as I touched his arm, he screamed in pain, and I had to knead him a few times.

I was distressed, "Hey, we're still dead in that tree hole later, are we really going to die here?" ”

"Hehe, forget it, after so many things, I also want to open it, but it's a pity that I can't eat the osmanthus balls made by my mother." Junko smiled bitterly.

"Still thinking about osmanthus, I don't plan to have anything to do with osmanthus again in my life."

"Haha, I don't care, I never pick fat and thin, it tastes good."

"Then the puffer fish is delicious, why don't you eat it?"

"I'm stupid, it's poisonous!"

"You're not stupid, I'm stupid, hehe......"

"Hehe......"

The body gradually ran out, and the eyelids began to fight up and down, but the heart was still planning how to get out. I don't know how long I slept, but in a daze, I was woken up by a hand.

"Wake up, wake up ......"

I rolled over. "Who, let me sleep a little longer."

"Do you still want to go out?"

"Ah, you're awake?" I almost forgot about Xiaobao's father's storage, and by this time he had already regained consciousness.

I pushed Junko to the side, and he almost woke up from my pain.

"Tap!" Junko reminded me again.

As soon as he heard Xiaobao's father's voice, it took a while to react.

I asked, "Do you have a way to get us out?" ”

"Of course, otherwise how would I have gotten home before?"

It dawned on me, yes, I didn't even think of such a simple question, it seems that I didn't save him wrong, and my kindness is rewarded.

Runzi accosted: "Then you say it quickly, don't sell Guanzi." ”

"Hey, this passage is indeed the only way back to the village, the reason why you came to the Guilin Forest, it must be from the black bamboo forest, I don't say that you also know, you still can't get out when you get there, but ignore one point, the dampness here is not because of the soil, but there is a dark river around us." Xiaobao's father paused, left me and Yunzi time to think, and continued: "So if you want to get out, you can only dig another hole from here. ”

I wondered, "So where are we going to dig from, and how far are we going to dig it?" ”

Xiao Bao's father said, "Find the most damp place in front, and that is the entrance to the cave." ”

We followed the instructions of Xiao Bao's father and looked everywhere, because there was no light source, only the touch of the fingertips. Sure enough, we found a soft soil that was still dripping with water.

We were so thirsty that we couldn't wait to raise our heads to catch water when we dug a small hole and listened to the sound of running water. The moment the cool river water flowed through my throat, something unexpected happened, the water turned out to have a color—a cold blue light, and I felt sick to my stomach, suspecting that I had drunk an unclean water source, but there was a sense of déjà vu. A series of memories were quickly searched in my mind, ah, isn't this the blue light that appeared in the cave in the back mountain.

How did that four-legged snake end up here? To confirm further, I dug up some more, and with a "poof", a four-legged snake fell from the opening, almost falling into Junko's mouth, scaring him back several steps. Junko wanted to go up and trample on it, but I stopped her, and the four-legged snake we had encountered before would not maliciously attack people, so it was better for us to be merciful. But I also wanted to remind Xiaobao of his father, but he was very calm and very happy. The four-legged snake didn't care about the two of us at all, and crawled slowly to the little treasure not far away, as if he had seen his master, and kept rubbing at his feet. Xiaobao's father seems to have realized something, and it is not surprising at all to let it be "coquettish". I noticed that the four-legged snake was licking his severed limb with its equally glowing tongue, as if healing him. I saw the doorway, and with a stroke of inspiration, I dug the opening a little wider, and another four-legged snake fell down, and likewise crawled to his feet, and licked it. We stared blankly at what happened, and the blue light of the four-legged snake gradually dimmed, then turned red, and finally disappeared into the darkness. Xiao Bao's father let out a long breath and said to us, "Don't you think it's strange that this thing can still heal me?" …… We have not seen many of us in my generation, this animal is called 光蠒 (jiǎn), which looks like a four-legged snake, but in fact it is completely different. There are not many of these animals now, they are one of the two sacrificial animals, and the saliva in the body has healing properties, fortunately I saw it in a cave in the back mountain a year ago, maybe because I go there so often, so they recognize me. One night, I fell on the mountain and injured myself, only to find out that the light beetle has this effect, and now the blue light is gone, that is, the saliva runs out and dies. My legs have been amputated, and although it is impossible to recover them again, I will probably get infected when I touch the river later. God still had mercy on me and let me meet these little animals. "How did that come to be here, is it through that cave?" I asked. "Haha, you're very smart, no wonder you came here alone, it seems that you know a lot about me." Xiaobao's father was a little defensive in his words. Junzi answered: "It's good that you know, I almost took my life to find you, if you don't tell us completely about this matter, even if you leave here, I will investigate it to the end." "Okay, okay, the matter has come to this, I don't say that you will definitely not give up, the reason why I hid everyone is also reasonable......" I interrupted him and said: "Your reason is selfish, and you have to hide it from your family, do you know that Xiaobao was almost scared to death, and he is still sick!" "What, Xiaobao is sick, what's going on, that's why I don't want others to get involved." Xiaobao's father said excitedly. I told him about the cause and effect, and he listened carefully, and finally he couldn't stop crying and slowly told the truth. Outside Mizusawa Village, there are several large and small villages, and the population of a single village is relatively sparse, and the economic conditions are relatively poor, and over time a market between villages has been formed, and it is very prosperous.

About a year ago, Xiaobao's father went to the market to catch the market, and several heavy rains for several days made him reluctant to brave the rain to hurry, and when the rain stopped, he knew that he missed the time of the ferry, so he could only take the mountain road. He also knew that if he entered the bamboo forest, he might get lost, and thought that as long as he surrounded the bamboo forest, he could cross the back mountain and return to the village.
