Chapter 20 Preparing to get out of the cave
Two quarters of an hour later.
"Hiccupβyou're so well fed." Mu Xiaochu had a smile on the corner of his mouth after eating and drinking, "I finally had a delicious meal." β
Murong Yunze replied while eating grilled fish, "Wo too-"
It's unforgivable that he missed such a delicious grilled fish for three years! No, he must eat this time!
Thinking about this, he took a grilled fish in his hand and ate it.
And Mu Xiaochu ate the food brought by Murong Yunze.
During this period, Qi Ziyan was responsible for heating the food.
Halfway through eating, Murong Yunze handed a jade pendant on his waist to Mu Xiaochu, and his tone pretended to be casual, "By the way, this thing is for you." β
"Give it to me?"
"That's right." Murong Yunze said: "Not only that, but in the future, our Murong family will be loyal to you." β
Mu Xiaochu: "......"
"Just because of a grilled fish?"
"No-" Murong Yunze shook his head, "It's because you can do this." β
After Murong Yunze finished speaking, he threw a stone into the water.
Mu Xiaochu leaned into Qi Ziyan's arms and shook his head, "I still don't understand." β
"Let me tell you this, before you came, just what I did, if I had come closer to the water's edge, the fish in the water would riot and want to jump out and bite me, but now because you are here, they didn't attack me."
Murong Yunze saw that Mu Xiaochu still didn't understand, and continued with a solemn look in his eyes: "Our ancestors said that whoever can calm these fish down is the person to whom their Murong family will be allegiant, and you are this person." β
Mu Xiaochu shook his head after hearing this, "No, when Qi Ziyan came, Shiyu was also very quiet here, why not him but me?" β
Murong Yunze said confidently: "Because our ancestors said that the other party is a woman. β
...... I was speechless.
"Yan?" Mu Xiaochu looked at Qi Ziyan and said softly.
Qi Ziyan saw the hesitation in her eyes, rubbed her black hair, and said softly: "It's a good thing that multiple people protect Xiao Chu, so I will be much more relieved in the future." β
What's more, the other party is still a big family.
Murong Yunze, who was actually eating fish, had been observing Qi Ziyan until he said that sentence and then he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Inexplicably, he felt that the man in front of him was very dangerous.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Hearing Qi Ziyan's words, Mu Xiaochu pouted unhappily, "But I don't think I need anyone to protect me." β
Qi Ziyan said softly: "Xiao Chu, I just don't want this incident to happen again." β
After Mu Xiaochu heard it, he also knew what he was talking about, "This time it was just an accident, how did I know that someone would want to kill me." β
"What are you talking about, someone wants to kill my master!" As soon as he heard this, Murong Yunze became angry.
Mu Xiaochu: "Yes." β
But what are you so excited about?
"Who is it, it's really damned, you are the master of our Murong family, someone dares to kill you so boldly, I must break him into ten thousand pieces!!" After Murong Yunze finished speaking, he only heard a snap, and the wooden stick holding the fish in his hand broke.
At the beginning, Qi Ziyan simply said that Murong Yunze said that he and Mu Xiaochu were lucky to fall here after falling off the cliff, but he didn't say much.
"I'll find out when I get out, because I won't let him go." Qi Ziyan's tone was flat, but there was murderous aura in his eyes.
Mu Xiaochu didn't say anything about this, after all, that kind of end was what she wanted to see.
Joke, a person who wants to kill her, she will pity and sympathize!
After a while, Murong Yunze scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "However, we will have to wait a few days before we can go out." β
"Why? I've been eating fish here for a few days, and I don't want to eat it anymore-" Mu Xiaochu was stunned when he heard it, didn't he say that people can leave when they come, why wait a few more days?!
"Because to get out of here, you're going to have to bounce this thing into a little hole in the water." Murong Yunze said as he took out something similar to a pearl from his arms.
Mu Xiaochu was puzzled: "That's very simple, wouldn't it be good to put it in the water." β
"The fish there are scary, and I'm stupid enough to throw them in one shot." That's why I'm bringing food, because I'm going to be here for a few days......
"It's okay, I'll help you put things in." Mu Xiaochu, who couldn't wait, took the thing, then walked to the water's edge and got into the water, "Murong Yunze, which hole is it?" β
Except for pearls and fish, she really didn't see any small holes.
"You're crazy, the fish there are eating people!" Murong Yunze felt that he was a blink of an eye, and Mu Xiaochu came to the water's edge.
He quickly got up and came to the water's edge, "Master, come up quickly, the fish there are very ferocious...... Oh, that, I forgot that they don't hurt the master. β
After knowing that the fish would not harm Mu Xiaochu, Murong Yunze pointed to the small hole and said, "Master, it's that place, have you seen it?" β
Mu Xiaochu looked in the direction he pointed out for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "I still haven't seen anything." β
Qi Ziyan also went into the water and took the things in Mu Xiaochu's hand, "I'll come." β
Qi Ziyan took the beads and stuffed them into it smoothly, because that place happened to be the place he had suspected a few days ago.
He wondered why there was a small hole in the underwater stone, but now it makes sense.
After stuffing the beads in, the surface of the water quickly changed.
Murong Yunze on the shore said: "Master, come up quickly, there will be a passage there later." β
Hearing this, the two quickly went ashore.
A quarter of an hour later, I saw that the water surface, which had been calm, slowly opened a passage after the beads were lowered, and there was water on both sides.
Seeing this, Murong Yunze withdrew the beads and said, "Okay, we can leave now." β
It was the first time he had left this place so early!
Following behind Murong Yunze, Mu Xiaochu was surprised again, "I thought there were enough fish at the water's edge, but I didn't expect there to be more here!" β
"That's not it, if it weren't for the master here, I'd ...... alone" Halfway through speaking, Murong Yunze listened to it, and looked at Mu Xiaochu with some embarrassment, "Master, you wait for me to go down and pick up some spirit pearls first." β
"Spirit Pearl?"
Murong Yunze explained, "Yes, it's the things in the water that look like pearls. β
"Oh, I see." Then Mu Xiaochu was a little embarrassed and said: "But can I not call me master, just call me Xiaochu." β
When Murong Yunze heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and refused, "This is not unruly. β
Seeing this, Mu Xiaochu said in a somewhat uncomfortable tone: "Since you say that I am the master, then you will call me Xiaochu after listening to me." β
After a long time, Murong Yunze said in a weak tone: "Okay." Then he went into the water.
But the strange thing is that as soon as Murong Yunze got out of the water, the fish in the water began to explode, and they kept opening their mouths wide and swimming in the direction of Murong Yunze.
Before the fish bit Murong Yunze, he quickly went ashore.
Murong Yunze said embarrassedly: "That, they may be recognized." β
Just when Murong Yunze was about to beg Mu Xiaochu to go into the water to help him fish for the spirit pearl, he saw her pale face, so he planned to have this idea.
MU Xiaochu; She used to think that this kind of fish without pearls on its head was easy to catch! It's so ferocious when you open your mouth!
I am very glad that I am the master of what Murong Yunze said, otherwise, things would be terrible.
Qi Ziyan, who knew what she was afraid of, hugged her shoulders tightly and comforted her silently.
After feeling Qi Ziyan's reassurance, Mu Xiaochu gradually calmed down.
Then Qi Ziyan said: "I'll come." β
Mu Xiaochu grabbed his hand, "No, I'll go into the water with you." β
"Okay, let's do it together." Then the two went into the water to dive for pearls, but I don't know if it was because Mu Xiaochu was there, the fish in the water were swimming quietly, and they didn't see the ferocity just now.
Murong Yunze: Sure enough, the ancestors didn't lie to me, the master really has the ability to calm down these murderous fish.
A quarter of an hour later, Qi Ziyan and Mu Xiaochu came ashore and said, "Are these enough?" β
Seeing the number of spirit pearls on the passage, Murong Yunze swallowed his saliva, a little excited, "Enough is enough, that, lord...... Xiao Chu, you wait for me here, I'll go back and polish the spirit pearl first. β
As for the polishing utensils, it was the red stone from before.
Murong Yunze said quickly, but a quarter of an hour had passed, and he hadn't come back yet, and finally Mu Xiaochu bent down and threw stones into the water in a boring way and said casually: "Yan, I suddenly discovered one thing, that is, with you in the place, I didn't feel scared at all." β
After hearing this, Qi Ziyan also squatted down, hugged Mu Xiaochu tightly from behind, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "I'm glad that Xiao Chu will think so, how about Xiao Chu marry me when he goes back." β
"...... you guess." This time, Mu Xiaochu did not directly refuse.
Qi Ziyan smiled with a smile in his eyes: "I guess so." β
Mu Xiaochu glanced back, "Narcissist." β
Qi Ziyan kissed her hair and whispered, "Only for you." β
He was answered by a plop - the sound of a stone falling into the water.
There is also the shallow smile on the corner of Mu Xiaochu's mouth.
After noticing the curvature of the corners of her mouth, the corners of Qi Ziyan's mouth behind her also hooked up a shallow smile.
Soon Murong Yunze came back with a bag of pearls on his back, and the corners of his mouth cracked in a big arc, "Xiao Chu, I'm back, now we can go." β
Seeing that someone had interrupted him, Qi Ziyan looked at it with a sharp look, Murong Yunze was stunned, and kept muttering, "Didn't I just say that you can go, as for being so fierce to me, if it weren't for the fact that you are Xiao Chu's friend, I would never give you a good face!" β
Regarding Murong Yunze's words, Qi Ziyan pointed out and said: "Wrong, I am not Xiao Chu's friend, but her future father-in-law, right, Xiao Chu." β
Mu Xiaochu looked at the water on both sides, and his expression pretended to be fierce, "Say it again, believe it or not, I'll push you down." β
A hint of pampering flashed in Qi Ziyan's dark eyes, "Okay, well, since Xiao Chu won't let me say it, then I won't say it." β
Seeing this situation, Murong Yunze, who was following behind, knew that the master he had just found was already famous.
Not only that, but I don't know that I was eaten to death......
The current is on a downward trend, so Qi Ziyan speculated that further down should be the bottom of the cliff.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious, there is a river underneath this cliff.
If you look closely, you will find that the so-called passage is actually made up of pearls.
On both sides of the passage are countless pearls of various colors, countless fish, and beyond that there are black rocks that cannot be seen clearly, with an arch above, and the height is about two meters.
In the past, when Murong Yunze was alone, he would be so leisurely as he is now, carrying a package in one hand and eating grilled fish in the other.
"Xiao Chu, you don't know how dangerous it is for me to get these things alone when you're not here." Murong Yunze took a bite of the grilled fish and continued: "I usually don't dare to pick spirit pearls here, I only dare to go there, because there are few fish there and the danger is small, but now I finally avenge myself." After speaking, he took a hard bite of the fish in his hand.
