Helpless, Mu Mangzi and Meng Yu had to sit quietly in the flowers and grass and wait for death.

The water level continued to drop, and Yu Meng said: "Go and touch some fish in the muddy water first, and if you want to die, you have to be a full ghost." ”

At this time, the sun was still strong, the two put down their bags, went to the pond to touch the fish, engaged in nearly half an hour, got three or four fish in troubled waters, Mu Mangzi caught a fish, to be happy for a while.

Before the dream, although he knew Mu Mangzi, he rarely came into contact with him, and when he saw that this person was dying, he was still very happy, and said secretly: "It's really good to be stupid." ”

Mu Mangzi suddenly said: "This coffin is really big!"

"When you're dying, don't you want to order anything?"

Mu Mangzi smiled: "Of course I think so." ”

"What do you think?"

"I want to report to the people of Dadong. ”

"If you're going to die, what else do you want to report?

"It's not difficult to report the news, but the difficult thing is that no one can save it. ”

"It's hard for me to read the news. ”

"It's not difficult. ”

Yu Mengyu looked at the sky, there were several birds, and said, "Can you let the birds in the sky report to you?"

"It's not just wings that fly. ”

"You don't say stupid things. ”

"Beacon. ”

Yu Mengyu boasted: "Reasonable." ”

The two went ashore.

Mu Mangzi went to get some firewood, climbed up the low place to find some hay dried by the strong sun, took the fire in the primitive way, lit the fire, and added some wet firewood, and a thick column of smoke rushed into the air.

Later, Mu Mangzi picked up another bundle of water and firewood for backup.

The weather was hot again, and the two walked more than ten steps away from the fire.

"I'm afraid that no one will be able to see this smoke except for the birds and the white clouds." ”

"I must leave a mark, and if the people of the Great Cave see me, they will know that I am here. ”

"It's really a fool's idea, even if they see it, they probably become ghosts. ”

"You don't understand!"

Yu Mengyu smiled and said, "Understood, bring your bones back." "Yes. It's to bring back my clothes. ”

I really didn't understand the language of the dream, and said, "Forget it, it's useless to say this." Or go catch fish. ”

"Good. Make a mark first. ”

Mu Mangzi drew his sword, climbed onto a stone, and quickly carved a strange picture on the hard cliff rock, about three people high, about an inch deep.

Yu Mengyu stood below, looking at his carving, and exclaimed at this time: "You have such divine power, can you easily carve words on hard stone?"

"Is this difficult?" thought to himself, this kind of thing is indeed not very difficult for the top Baguo warriors, and asked, "What did you engrave?"

"Of course, it's not a visit here, it's carved that the dragon is buried here. ”

"I need to add a few more pictures." ”

"Why?"

"You have two names, and you understand better. ”

"Reasonable. Mu Mangzi climbed up and carved something again, and said, "Do you want to carve one for you?"

"Not necessarily. I don't want people to know. ”

The big thing, first eat enough and then talk about it, and the two of them go down to the river to catch fish.

Suddenly, the dream exclaimed, "Look, look! there's a hole there!"

This cry was so happy that even the eagle that had been flying overhead screamed.

Mu Mangzi looked up, and sure enough, it was on the shore on their side, and at this time, in the direction of their "launch", there was a hole. The entrance to the cave was flooded before, and the flood slowly receded, revealing a small part of the upper part of the hole, and I couldn't help but rejoice: "It turns out that there is already a hole!"

"Wait a little longer, and you'll know if it won't work. ”

A glimmer of life suddenly shortened the distance between the two who had no choice.

Survival is more important than food, the two of them have no intention of touching the fish again, standing where they are, watching the water level drop, looking at the mouth of the cave without blinking, feeling that time passes slower than the walking of a dead man.

Yu Mengyu turned his head to look at the "Shangshui" direction of the pond, and wanted to find a reference, and said: "Wait for that dead pig to float to the mouth of the cave." ”

Mu Mangzi also saw it and said, "It's not one dead pig, it's two." ”

Yu Mengyu opened his eyes straight, and then said, "It's really still two ends." ”

Mu Mangzi exclaimed: "No, it's really still the same head, with a head at the head and a head at the end." How can there be two pigs' heads in one pig? Strange! Something strange is going to happen. ”

Yu Mengyu stared at the round eyes and looked again, sure enough, the wild boar had two heads, thought about it, and said: "I have heard that in the great wilderness mountains, there is a kind of monster called Pingpeng, which is shaped like a pig, but the head and tail each have a head, and when the ideas are different, one to the left and one to the right, pulling around, the size does not change. Could it be that kind of monster in the water?"

"Haha, no wonder! When the flood came, one head wanted to run west, and the other wanted to run east, so he had to wait for him to drown. "Vitality appeared, and Mu Mangzi seemed to become smarter.

How much did he hope that the monster, which had not had time to escape the flood, would come alive and swim to the mouth of the cave as fast as he could, and said, "If it is alive, it will be soon." ”

Mu Mangzi smiled: "It thinks more than you. ”

When the flowers were gone, the dead monster finally floated through the hole. The two went to see the hole, and they were half a man taller than the other.

The entrance to the cave was stuffed with firewood, leaves, vines, and gravel. It took a lot of effort for the two to clean the hole and cover it with sludge.

Mu Mangzi said: "I'll go in and take a look." ”

Yu Mengyu pulled him and almost dragged him back: "There is still water left in the cave, it is full of mud, and I will go back when it dries a little." If it is passed, it is not in a hurry at this time, if it is not passed, it is better not to read it. It's already afternoon, so why don't you dry your clothes here first and talk about it tomorrow. ”

There were still embers of the beacon fire, the fire was ready-made, some wood was added, and the two roasted fish to eat, and there was no clean water, so they took some water that flowed down from the cliff and used it.

This is the first time that Yu Mengyu has started from catching fish, to cutting and grilling fish, and until eating fish - of course, the "labor" of eating fish is familiar.

There was no wine, and after the meat was finished, he washed the soil on his body in his clothes at the flowing water of the rock wall, took out the clothes and other things in his bag, washed them on the flowing water of the rock wall, and then dried them on the branches.

Mu Mangzi saw that this trick was useful, and he did the same.

At night, Mu Mangzi found water and firewood nearby, and when the weather was still hot, the beacon fire turned into a bonfire, and the two fell asleep four or five steps apart on the sun-dried mud lawn, which was a safe and not ambiguous distance.

Fortunately, the moon shone high that night, but unfortunately in the canyon, the moonlight was not long.

Looking up at the sky, thinking of Hu'an Mountain, and not knowing the life and death of Du Qunfang and Lan Hui, the tears kept flowing again, and then quietly thought about the before and after of this incident.

From the frequency of Mu Mangzi's breathing, he knew that he hadn't fallen asleep until midnight, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Mu Mangzi didn't dare to sleep, he didn't know if there were any man-eating wild creatures in this nameless canyon, so he got up lightly several times and walked left and right.

In the second half of the night, the moon had left, and Mu Mangzi estimated that the beauty around him fell asleep, lying on the grass and counting the stars, and at some point, fell asleep.

When he woke up from the big dream, it was already the sun shining, Mu Mangzi opened his eyes and saw that he didn't see the dream, he was shocked, he hurriedly got up and raised his sword, looked around, and looked around, but he didn't see a figure, and was about to shout, only to hear the sound of "oops", and the dream language walked out of the hole, and his feet were full of muddy water, and said: "It is estimated that this hole leads to the outside." ”

Mu Mangzi said: "You scared me! I thought I had committed suicide by throwing myself into the pond!"

"I thought about it. ”

Mu Mangzi did not rush to inspect the cave, or he felt that this beauty's intelligence must be higher than his own, so he first went to roast a piece of meat from a goat that also died in distress.

The two of them ate it, and went to prepare the torches, and carried almost the only bag that had not abandoned their master, and prepared to enter the cave.

Mu Mangzi suddenly said: "I forgot something big!"

"What's bigger than getting out quickly?"

"Absolutely. ”

Mu Mangzi turned to the carved place and added a few more drawings before turning around and lighting a torch on the embers of the bonfire.

"What are you going to do again?"

"It is necessary to change that picture to: Mu Mangzi Long Si is not buried here. ”

Mengyu shook her head.

Bidding farewell to the drowning wild creatures here and the seemingly tireless eagle that they could find in mid-air as soon as they opened their eyes, Mu Mangzi led the way into the only hole where life and death were unpredictable......
