Chapter 405: Falling into the pit
Seeing that Tho Manzi had brought a disabled middle-aged man back, she was startled, and heard Ruyun say that she had cut off a hand to save her mother.
The two of them came back and continued to talk with Yu Mengyu, Ruyun said that it was not early, and got up to prepare dinner.
After a while, Ruyun carried a movable bronze tripod and set it up on this pit stove, and then went to bring a pottery cooking utensil, locally known as "Ding Guo", and began to be busy cooking, while participating in talking, going out for a while, coming in for a while, and being very busy.
In addition to a pot of rice, there is also a pot of wild boar meat and a few vegetarian dishes, all of which are served by the fire.
Usually, the barbarian and Ruyun eat, there is no need for a few tables, and they eat around the stove, but today, Ruyun specially went to move four small tables, and the utensils are not matched, there are high and low, there are new and old, but they will also be.
Before the official meal, the barbarian asked Mengyu to move to the hall of the main house, and Mengyu found that there were some spirit cards here.
Tho Manzi and Ruyun are illiterate, represented by the symbols engraved on the spirit card, if it is not for Ruyun to explain one by one, Zhu Mengyu does not know these spiritual positions, in addition to the three generations of ancestors of the Tho Manzi family, there are also Du Qunfang, Mu Mangzi, Lan Hui, caterpillars and other warriors and hunters who died or thought they were dead in the sea of Wanfeng Forest.
Just as he was about to start offering food, Tho Manzi smiled and said, "I almost forgot, Mu Mangzi has a big life, and he has not yet become a ghost, so I have to invite him down, lest he have to eat white food." ”
When Yu Mengyu saw the spiritual positions of Du Qunfang, Lan Hui, Caterpillar and others, his mood suddenly became heavy, and he silently offered food and wine.
After the dedication, Ruyun fed her mother again, and the four hosts and guests began to drink and eat meat by the fire in the "living room".
Yu Mengyu took a bite of coarse grain rice in a small earthen bowl with a flat bottom, and said, "The rice is very fragrant, next time, I will also cook Dingguo rice once." ”
Ruyun said: "Do you need next time? You stay for a few more days, just cook it yourself." ”
"I have to go back to Hu'anshan. Dream said.
Ruyun said: "I know this. I should have accompanied you back. ”
Yu Mengyu said: "I said it well just now, Tho Barbarian accompanies me." You are here to take care of your mother. ”
Ruyun said: "When the serving mother is gone, I will go back to Hu'an Mountain." ”
Tho Manzi said: "Don't go first, wait until I settle down, and then come to pick you up." ”
"This is the best." ”
After eating, Ruyun cleaned up the cups and plates first, and said, "Barbarian, you go to the firewood shed to clean up, you want to live in someone!"
Tho Manzi said: "You're not afraid of back pain?"
Ruyun blushed and said, "I'll sleep with the little master! I'm going to break up again tomorrow, and I don't know when we can meet again." ”
The barbarian understood that he had made a mistake and smirked.
Hearing this, Yu Mengyu was even more sure that the life of the Tho Manzi family was quite poor, and even the extra bedding was probably not available, whether it was to continue to stay in the Hu'an Palace or return to the Tu clan, Ruyun's life would not be as embarrassing as it is now.
Once again, he felt very guilty, but he didn't say it.
The stepfather of Tho Manzi and Ruyun asked for a good night and went separately.
Seeing that although the barbarian is still reckless, there are many changes in the whole person, such as the smell of sweat that can be smelled at any time before, and the clothes are relatively clean, and he said secretly: "Give Ruyun ** out." ”
Ruyun and Ruyun didn't talk for a while by the fire, Ruyun went to get hot water, the two women simply washed their faces and feet, and Ruyun followed Ruyun to the right wing.
After entering the couple's bedroom and lighting the light, Mengyu found that it was still relatively simple, but it was cleaner than other places.
Preparing to go to the bed, he said in a dream: "When did you two become a couple?"
"Wrong. My mother knew that my time was short, and I couldn't go back to my hometown, for fear that I would have no one to take care of me, and seeing that the barbarian was honest and had high martial arts, she let us get married, and it was only a few months. ”
Yu Mengyu said with a smile: "In these years, it is good to have someone to take care of it, and it is also a great joy, I should have a congratulatory gift." ”
Ruyun said with a smile: "It's already a wish to see you again, how dare I ask for a congratulatory gift." ”
"It's a must. I don't have anything else at the moment, just a dress made of peacock feathers, don't say it, I haven't broken it up, I send you, it's the baby that the tenth princess of Yelang gave me. She said that it was from distant Kunmi. "Kunmi" refers to Kunming, Yunnan today, but it should not be the capital of Kunming at that time, and the capital of Kunming is Dali today.
After speaking, Meng Yu went to get his bags, took out a peacock sweater and handed it to Ruyun.
Ruyun opened the sweater, almost fainted, and said, "This is too valuable!"
"No matter how precious it is, it is not as important as our sisters!"
Thank you.
Meng Yu smiled: "You might as well give it a try." ”
"How can you be willing to wear such good clothes. ”
Ruyun insisted on giving it a try, Ruyun was actually like all women, when she saw good clothes, she wanted to give it a try, regardless of the cold, she stripped off her old clothes, and with the help of her dreams, she put on a peacock sweater, which was a little longer and fitted well.
Yu Mengyu looked at Ruyun and exclaimed: "As soon as this dress is put on, it has completely changed into a person, and the princess is nothing more than that." No, it's like a fairy. ”
Ruyun smiled: "If it is worn on your body, it is a fairy, just like the last time I sacrificed to the god of flowers." After speaking, Ruyun was silent.
Seeing that her situation was wrong, Yu Mengyu said, "What's wrong with you?"
Before she spoke, she suddenly understood that she was thinking of the days of Hu'an Mountain.
Of course, Yu Mengyu didn't guess wrong, but he wasn't completely right, Ruyun not only remembered the days of Hu'an Palace, but also thought: "If before, if you put on this dress and let your cousin take a look, it would still be a little interesting, but now, no matter how good the clothes are, they are not interesting." ”
"It's better to change it quickly, so as not to get dirty. "Like a cloud.
Ruyun changed back into her old clothes, and then stripped for Yu Mengyu, preparing to collapse, and suddenly found that there was something missing on her neck that she was very familiar with and was very delicate every time she took it out, and exclaimed: "I didn't pay attention just now, where is your baby sachet? This eagle necklace is exquisite, but it can't be compared with the four or four flower sachets." ”
This sentence reminded Yu Mengyu, thinking that Mu Mangzi and Wucheng still didn't know life and death, they held back their tears and said, "Lost." ”
"If you lose it, you will lose it, and when you return to Hu'an Palace, Mrs. will give you another one. ”
Dream Yu and Ruyun, covered with a coarse cloth quilt, head to head, shoulder to shoulder, talked all night, laughing at one time, crying at the other, which was impossible before. The rooster crowed, and the two fell asleep.
The next day, Yu Mengyu parted with tears like clouds, made an appointment to say goodbye, and marched towards his hometown accompanied by Tho Manzi.
Re-embarked on the road, accompanied by the barbarians, although he didn't know the new situation in Hu'an Palace, Yu Mengyu's mood was much better than before, and his steps were much easier.
In two or three days, the two climbed mountain after mountain, and this morning, they came to a mountain pass called Datangkou.
The sun was shining, standing at the mountain pass, looking ahead, Gu Mengyu knew that he was about to enter the country of Ba, and said to the barbarian: "It is estimated that it is fast into the territory of the Gu clan, you can see more and talk less." Let's go to Sanmiao Village Panfurong first, and then make plans. ”
"I understand that you can't go back to Hu'an Mountain recklessly. But why don't you go to Tho's village first? With me here, the people of Tho's don't dare to hurt your cold hair!"
"I have a point. ”
Begin to go down the mountain from the mountain pass, walk to the afternoon, enter a large bamboo forest, the road is covered with bamboo leaves, it is estimated that the wind is strong a few days ago, and it blows down a lot, it is not easy to recognize the road.
Mu Mangzi was exploring the way ahead, and Mengyu followed closely behind, only looking for a gentle slope to go down.
The two of them felt that they were getting deeper and deeper into the bamboo sea, knowing that they were lost, the sky was slowly darkening, and they were in a hurry, when they suddenly heard the singing voice of a middle-aged man in the distance below:
"Bamboo grows into bamboo empty,
Sister, you are in the bamboo forest,
Don't peel the shell of the bamboo shoots,
bamboo shoot shell hairy drill hole,
It's going to itch when you get into that hole......"
Yu Mengyu asked, "What song is he singing?"
"If you don't understand, don't ask. ”
Tho Manzi's words fell on the bamboo leaves, and when he stepped on some mechanism, the bamboo leaves flew apart, and the two fell into a deep pit.
The governor was not good, and the barbarian was anxious to jump out first, but he didn't know how hard he was, but he sank faster.
Before he could understand it, this was a colored song that the men sang when they were bored, and their bodies had fallen to the bamboo leaves at the bottom of the pit, and they were shocked into a cold sweat.
This pit is several zhang deep, irregular in shape, more than two zhang in diameter, and is surrounded by a very smooth, hard and vertical stone wall.
The barbarian looked at the sky like a frog at the bottom of a well, and said, "This pit is so deep and extremely smooth that there is no place to settle down. This is the trap laid by the hunter, fortunately, he wants to catch it alive, and there are only thick bamboo leaves at the bottom of the pit, and there are no erected bamboo tips. Otherwise, the two of us would have been put on the tip of the bamboo. ”
I was scared when I thought about it, and I was even more cold in a sweat.
After resting for a while, he said, "This pit should be natural, see if there is a hole to go out." ”
The two lifted the bamboo leaves on the ground, carefully inspected them two or three times, and said in a dream: "This pit has no holes around, only a few flowing water holes at the bottom. ”
The barbarian said angrily: "This pit is too harmful, which turtle grandson did it!
"If someone really uses the trap laid by the natural stone pit, it's okay, someone will always come to collect my two prey, if the bamboo falls and the bamboo leaves fall and naturally covers the hole, we will die." ”
"I don't think so, I feel like I'm stepping on something. ”
"The question is, when will the hunters come? In a few days, the two of us will either starve to death or freeze to death. "I don't think the situation is too good.
Of course, the barbarian knew the seriousness of the problem and was silent.
Subsequently, the two thought of several methods, but to no avail.
"If only Mu Mangzi was here, maybe it would be good. "It's still in vain to think about it again, Dao.
"What's the use of one mang? If there are five people combined, maybe there is a way. ”
"How do you say this?" "Yu Mengyu estimated that Tho Mangzi was saying that Mu Mangzi was a fool, and the five of them together might be a little useful.
"Needless to say, if there are a few more people, you can get out by taking a human ladder. ”
Yu Mengyu knew that Tho Manzi didn't understand what he meant that if Mu Mangzi faced such a desperate situation, maybe there was something to do, and he didn't want to discuss this unrealistic issue, so he said: "I panicked for a while, but I forgot the easiest way." Someone is singing down there, don't you call for help!"
The two relayed, shouting "help", but no one answered.
