"I've been missing for years. The woman laughed softly.

Entering the sinkhole, Madame Wu was surprised countless times: "Such a big thing, sister, can you still laugh?"

"Good sister, can I still cry every day? I'm afraid I don't have so much water in my eyes. The woman replied with a smile.

"Sister, you said it lightly, I'm afraid that I will sleep on a flat shoulder, and I think widely. ”

Mrs. Shui Rong nodded and said, "This is no way, to be honest, where can I rest assured." He sighed again, "My son is a bit of a stranger." ”

"What's the trick?" said Lady Wu.

Shui He put down a wooden peony in his hand and interjected: "In a word, don't do the right thing." ”

Madame Wu laughed and said, "There are a few children who are doing business. You see that one over there, who is often drunk and has never done anything that reassures me. ”

Mrs. Shui Rong said: "Madame's words are home. I'm not worried about that. In the past, there was a son of the Xinglongwan Yu family, I don't know if there is a tuba, people call him Fangba Er, because he only practices martial arts all day long, and there is also gnawing bamboo. ”

"What is bamboo gnawing?" asked Lady Wu, looking at the melted woman.

The water and the woman said: "It's a book that reads bamboo for a while." Witch nodded.

The woman continued: "Fangba Er doesn't do farming, hunting, fishing, and doesn't learn the medical skills of the Yu family. Once, he went to Zuilong Bay, ate and drank the master's, and got drunk, and made the people of Zuilong Bay jump. That's not all, three people were wounded. After this incident, he gritted his teeth and did not regret it, and Fang Ba Er was driven out of Xinglong Bay by the Yu people, and no one was willing to take him in.

In the end, when people saw him, they were like hiding from the plague god, so he had to go to the place where Tangzi used to live alone, which was called Chiping, and there was a grass house left by Tangzi, and he didn't know what to live on. For decades, no one cared whether he lived or died. Until one day, he came to Longbaozhai in tattered clothes and unkempt, saying that he was already seventy years old, and according to the rules, he should come to Longbaozhai to care for the elderly, so he took him in.

That year, Shui Tang was less than five years old, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup he was poured by Fangba Er, so he had to learn martial arts and study with him. It is often said that learning from good people and learning from evil people is evil, and I am worried that he and Fang Ba Er will also learn to be idle as tourists, and we try a variety of ways to beat, scold, starve, and stand, but we can't change it. As soon as he turned his back, he ran to Fangba Er, not knowing what to do, only knowing that he got up early and was greedy for darkness every day. Some days, I insisted on driving Fang Ba Er away, but they didn't agree, saying that they were breaking the rules.

"The bigger the water grew, the more uncontrollable it became, and then I had to ignore it. After several years like this, Fangba II finally died. I think Shui Yu has to learn well. I didn't want to, and within a few years, I disappeared. I think it's just that it's been badly taught by Fangba."

Speaking of the flesh that fell from her body, it was like an open floodgate, and the woman couldn't stop talking, and Madame Wu listened carefully to the woman talking about his son, and then said: "I heard that the Ba people don't read, but I didn't expect that there would be people reading here." ”

Shui and the woman said: "I heard that the ancestors of the Xinglong Bay Yu clan have a principality outside, so there are also scholars, but there are very few, the most strange thing is that Tangzi came to Longbaokeng, and brought some books, I think this is the most stupid thing that Tangzi has ever done." Of course, she wouldn't understand that if it weren't for the education of Yuzi and Zheng Bai, the life of the people of Longbaokeng would be more primitive.

Lady Wu said: "It's also a good thing that he can read." ”

Shui He pouted his lips and said, "Where will it be a good thing! You can't eat, you can't wear, you can't use it, and it's still harmful to people's stupidity." Once, passing by, I read Fangba Er's bamboo book, which was twisted and turned, neither like a flower nor a tree, and I thought it was a temptation to go mad. ”

The water melt woman stretched and said: "Forget it, don't talk about him, it's angry and hurtful." Talking about these gossips, the dishes are almost cold. Each of us eats and drinks with all his heart. ”

Shui Xiang and Narcissus listened to the adults talking, and did not dare to interject, listening to the water melt woman say this, almost at the same time, they said: "I'll go and heat it." "Get up and do things.

Madame Wu saw that the woman was a little tired, and the water and the woman didn't like to talk very much, so she took the initiative to talk to her: "My sister has a son and a daughter?"

"There is also a little girl, named Shui Ping, my brother and daughter-in-law came a few days ago and took her to Xinglongwang to play. "It turns out that the water and the woman are the women of the Xinglong Bay Yu family. There are not many people in Longbao Pit, so the bays are like bamboo roots, and they are all relatives when they turn around. There are many things between women, and they are not detailed one by one.

Here, Wu Zhen and Shui Rong became more and more speculative as they talked, and then asked, "Why do you hang a bell on the halfway up the mountain where we came?"

Shui Rong said: "That Zhong Yuan is not on the back mountain, but in Chiping, where Yuzi lives." Later, when Yuzi died, people carried the bell and placed it on the back mountain as a memorial, saying that the soul of Yuzi must have returned to his hometown first, from the way he came. For this reason, a small pavilion was also specially built, called the Chuyang Pavilion, and every year on the festival day of the Yuzi, it was to be ringed. ”

Wu Zhen said: "A few days ago, the dog didn't know, and he knocked three times by mistake, which offended the son. ”

Shui Rong smiled: "Those who don't know are not guilty." When I heard the bell, I said that it was probably some wild thing, but Brother Shui Min didn't believe it, saying that someone was coming, but he was still going to pick up people, and sure enough, he was right. ”

Wu Zhen saluted the water people who also came to drink today, and then said, "I see. Where did that bell come from, listen to the sound is extremely exquisitely made. ”

Shui Rong said: "Legend has it that the two gods and men of Yuzi and Zheng Bo brought it when they went down to the pit, saying that ringing the bell can scare away demons and monsters." It is precisely because of this that it is added to the stuff of the seeds, otherwise it will be melted early and used as farm tools. ”

Wu Zhen nodded and said, "The Ba people have a very high skill in making gold (bronze), and the chimes they make are also very famous. ”

Shui Rong said: "I heard the legend that the bell was made by the Yongguo people. ”

Wu Zhen said: "This is also right, Yongguo and Sui were destroyed by Chu almost at the same time, and there are famous gold (bronze) mines in Suiguo, and Yongguo people are masters of making bells, and Yong Zhong is famous for a while." That pavilion, why is it called the Chuyang Pavilion?"

"The name of the son is Xi, and the word is the beginning of the sun. I heard that he was born before the beginning of spring. ”

When it comes to drinking, Shuihe's son Shuihua is not Wucheng's door-to-door at all, and he was numbed after a while, and then Wucheng himself let go of drinking, and he was also drunk, and he was invited back to the room.

After leaving this treasure of this world, Wu Zhen continued to ask a new question: "There is a matter that I wanted to ask for a long time, but I am afraid that it will be inappropriate. Dare to ask, where did the people of your tribe come to the Tiankeng, according to your saying, it is called the Longbao Pit?"

Shui Rong said: "This incident was many, many years ago. I also listened to the old man. "Shui Rong told a previous story again-

It turned out that this tribe in Longbaokeng was the earliest indigenous of Hu'an Mountain, belonging to the Pu people, like the later White Tiger Clan, they took the eagle as a totem and called themselves the Eagle tribe. But there is no way to verify when and where they first entered Hu'an Mountain.

Later, Yushui's Wuzhen country was defeated by the Baihuba people, and the Yan tribe and Dan tribe of Wuzang fled along the Danfu River, and finally entered the Hu'an Mountain grassland in desperation, defeated the eagle tribe on the grassland, and occupied the ———grassland.

The Eagle tribe is the earliest and most primitive indigenous people in Hu'an Mountain, due to the closure and lack of wealth, far behind the Wuzhen people who control the treasure of salt and Dan, and the White Tiger people are even more different, and their weapons, life, and production tools are even more backward.

They knew that they simply could not fight against the tribes that were more advanced and outnumbered than themselves. As a result, after each defeat, they had no choice but to take advantage of the advantage of being most familiar with the terrain of Hu'an Mountain, perhaps the only advantage, to escape to a more hidden, but also more hostile environment to survive.

After this defeat, the remnants of the Eagle Clan moved to the Dragon Gorge (also known as the Dragon Water Gorge, the second of the five dangerous lands of the Yu Clan) in the Ten Thousand Winds Forest.

Later, a branch of the White Tiger Clan's clan came to capture the Hu'an Mountain Grassland, defeating the Yan tribe and the Dan tribe of the former Wuzhen Kingdom, and the Dan tribe was once again cornered and inadvertently entered the Dragon Gorge (while the Yan tribe fled to the Dream Valley, which was unknown to other tribes except themselves, and even thought it was extinct).

Like a natural enemy, the Dan tribe entered the Dragon Gorge and once again competed with the Eagle tribe for a small living space, and the Eagle tribe failed again and had to flee into the more hidden and also considered uninhabited sinkhole (Longbao Pit).

After ———— Shuirong finished speaking, everyone drank a glass of wine.

Brother Song said: "Speaking of which, it's all caused by the hateful people of the Wuzhen country. ”

Wu Zhen smiled: "If you want to say that the one who causes trouble, it should be the White Tiger Man." According to what you said, I have also heard that the Dan tribesmen robbed you of Hu'an Mountain and then Longxia, all because they lost to the White Tiger people. ”

Elder Xinglong Wan Yu said: "I don't know if the White Tiger people are still running rampant in Danfu Water like a crab?"

"Now, there is chaos outside, the sky is going to be caught, those monarchs, secretaries, and military generals, just like everyone has been bitten by a mad dog, catch whoever bites whom, for profit. The world is Chu, Qin, Wei, Zhao, Han, Qi, Yan seven great countries dispute, the White Tiger people's country of Ba, such as the day of the West Mountain, does not even have a loud atmosphere, and it is a matter of time before the country is destroyed. Wu Zhen said slowly.

When everyone here heard that the White Tiger people were going to be unlucky, they all grinned with satisfaction, and Shui Rong was so excited that they invited everyone to drink a glass of wine - half of the wine vessels, food vessels, and water vessels they use today are pottery made by Shui Rong himself, with different patterns carved by him, some geometric patterns, some flower patterns, some wave patterns, some animal patterns, and some rope patterns, and the shape, size, and capacity are not uniform enough.

Longbaokeng is a completely self-sufficient economic system combining hunting, fishing, mining and farming. In the Dragon Treasure Pit, where bronze is scarce, their bronze tools are mainly made from the melting of weapons captured in the previous battlefield and brought in by the people who came down to the sinkhole.

Therefore, Shui Rong has a great role to play as a pottery expert, and his brother Shui He is the carpenter who does the best job, and his brother Shui Min is a superb craftsman.

It was only at this time that Wu Zhen, who had been a historian, thought in his heart that this was the first time that he had sorted out the origin and relationship between the various tribes in Hu'an Mountain (in fact, he had not completely figured it out, because he did not know where the salt tribe was).

Thinking of this, Wu Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "In troubled times, people are not as good as dogs. The world is in chaos, and there is no peace with a leisurely wine table. Perhaps, Longbaokeng is the only place that has not been affected by the war. ”

Everyone in the room nodded.

The wine vessel in Wu Zhen's hand is the most high-grade tonight, with ornaments inside and out, a little beauty at the bottom of the inner wall, and a circle of water ripples on the outer wall. He drank another glass of wine, looked at it, remembered the story of Zheng Bai and Shuigu told by Shui Rong, and thought to himself, this may mean to commemorate "Shuigu".

Thinking of Shui Gu, Wu Zhen thought of her daughter, who was now separated by yin and yang, and asked: "So, in fact, there is a way in and out of Longbaokeng?" It's just that people outside don't know about it. The way out, the way your ancestors came in?"
