"It's like the sound of water." Cheng is like a snow road.

Everyone immediately fell silent and pricked up their ears to listen, and sure enough, an extremely subtle rattling sound came from that side, and if you didn't pay close attention, you really couldn't find it.

"That's right, it's water, there's the sound of water!" Several people couldn't help but get excited.

As soon as I was thirsty, the water came, and if there was water, there might be fish, and then the problem of eating would be solved.

Realizing this, everyone couldn't wait, and trotted all the way in the direction from which the sound came, as if the previous fatigue had been swept away. Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.

The sound of the water became apparent, and through a lush forest, a small pooling pool appeared, and a small waterfall trickled down the stone wall, which was the source of the sound of the water.

“Nice！” Liu Bushuai, who was running at the front, shouted first, pulled Chen Yan to trot all the way over, and picked up the pool of water to drink it with his mouth open. The water was so clear that it was sweet to look at, and the others rushed over it one after another, as if the water would be drunk if one step was slow.

Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue walked slowly at the end, they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, one of these two people is a child of a rich family, and the other is a small jasper, and it is not reasonable to be unstable.

Then someone suddenly said, "Look, there's something under the water?" ”

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted, Zheng Xiaofeng took a closer look, and found that in the silt at the bottom of the pool, there really seemed to be something faintly exposed, and it seemed that it was not small.

"I'll go down and have a look." One of them, Zhang Lei, was very curious, grabbed his trouser leg and jumped off the pool, digging and dragging it several times, and really fished out a big thing.

Someone on the shore asked, "What the hell is it, take it up and see it." ”

"It seems to be a pot, a big iron pot." The thunder said as he dragged the thing back.

On the shore, everyone gathered around, and took a look at the shape, not to mention, it was really a big cauldron.

"That's interesting, who threw this pot into this water for what?" Zhang Lei asked.

"Maybe someone came here for a picnic and accidentally dropped the pot here?" Some speculated.

At this time, Zheng Xiaofeng noticed that Liu Bushuai on the side was also looking at the cauldron intently, but he didn't make any remarks, looking thoughtful, and after a while, he squatted down and lifted the iron pot, and looked up and down carefully.

"Guys, if you want me to see it, this shouldn't be an iron pot." Liu Bushuai said suddenly.

Zhou Qianchao immediately retorted when he heard this: "It's not an iron pot? What does it mean? This shape is so obvious, you tell me it's not an iron pot? That's the toilet? ”

Liu Bushuai glanced at him, and said also not very politely: "This is your toilet, I mean this pot is not made of iron." ”

Zhou Qianchao could still suppress the fire now, and then he had to fight back, Zheng Xiaofeng saw that the two of them were about to quarrel again, and hurriedly walked over to take Liu Bushuai's words and asked, "Then what do you mean, what is this pot made of?" Do you see any other doorways? ”

Liu Bushuai saw that it was Zheng Xiaofeng who asked, and his tone was relatively polite, scratching his head and saying: "I don't dare to say what kind of way it is, it's just that I study archaeology, and it is inevitable that I will have occupational diseases when I see these things, but I am not good at studying, so I can only say a few words casually." In fact, I just want to say that this pot is not made of iron, but bronze, before the Northern Song Dynasty, China's iron-smelting technology was not yet mature, so the iron pot has not been popularized by the public, most of the pot's materials are ceramic casseroles, etc., of course, there are bronze. ”

"Then what do you mean, this is an object from before the Northern Song Dynasty?" Zheng Xiaofeng asked.

"No, no, no, how is that possible, you see that this pot is so fresh and intact, it is definitely a contemporary thing, but the strange thing is that now the bronze pot has been completely replaced by the iron pot, who would want to spend the effort to make such a thing, and throw it in this wilderness, I really can't figure it out. But not long ago, I read a news article that said that there are many antique dealers who have built counterfeit factories in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, imitating ancient cultural relics, and no one can find them. I look at this shape, but it's really not made casually, but I can't tell which dynasty it is. ”

Zheng Xiaofeng said: "I think, there should be no such possibility, this mountain is hidden, but the mountain road is too rugged, too far away from the outside world, if there are really cultural relics dealers here to fake, the transportation of raw materials is a big problem, maybe this is who accidentally lost the handicrafts here, don't think too much." ”

Liu Bushuai nodded, probably thinking that what Zheng Xiaofeng said was also reasonable, so he didn't dwell on this matter anymore, at this time Cheng Ruxue suddenly shouted to everyone: "Come and see, there are crabs here!" ”

"Crab?!"

As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, everyone came to their senses, and they ran to the other side like a swarm, and sure enough, on the stones on the other side of the water, several fat river crabs were swimming back and forth, and several pairs of small pincers were carefully hidden under the stones, and the number was too many to count.

"Quick, bring that pot over, there's a river fresh hot pot to eat tonight!" Liu Bushuai shouted.

Now everyone was happy, and everyone rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs and jumped into the water, for fear that any crab would slip through the net. After a while, someone shouted, "There are snails and shrimp over there!" It caused a group of people to rush over, and the originally calm pool instantly stirred up a violent splash.

Liu Bushuai took Chen Yan down as well, at first Chen Yan was still catching crabs seriously, but after a while, Liu Bushuai suddenly sneaked behind her, poured a handful of water on her, and then turned around and ran. Chen Yan screamed, and when she saw Liu Bushuai's evil smile on her face, she also rushed over with a smile. The two of them were talking and laughing and running around in the water, you splashed me twice, I splashed you twice, and the others just watched them play, and they didn't feel as nervous as before.

Zheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Ruxue did not go into the water, but sat quietly by the river. It's still very interesting to catch fish, Zheng Xiaofeng didn't go because he had idol baggage, but why Cheng Ruxue wasn't interested in it, no one knew. The sunset reflected on the pool was beautiful, and the two of them just watched the scenery quietly, and neither of them spoke.

Finally finished being busy, everyone took half a pot of river fresh and went ashore satisfied, Liu Bushuai and Chen Yan panted and laughed tiredly. Everyone's hearts were not only happy, but also relieved, these river freshmen must have no problem coping with dinner.

Zheng Xiaofeng proposed: "The sun is about to go down, let's not continue to delay here, Liu Bushuai, Chen Yan and uncle, please add water to the pot, and then carry it to the top of the mountain, the rest of us will go to find some firewood, let's try to gather in the open space on the top of the mountain before dark." ”

In fact, it is also a good choice to start a fire next to this waterhole, but the view from the top of the mountain is relatively better, and it is easier to spot a fire if a plane passes by. So everyone agreed, and they quickly took action. It has to be said that if people are united, the strength is really not ordinary, driven by dinner, everyone's efficiency is high, and at the moment before the sun sets, everyone rushes to the top of the mountain with full firewood.

Since it had rained the night before, it was much more troublesome to start a fire. Fortunately, Zheng Xiaofeng accidentally found pine resin when he was collecting firewood, which not only made it easier to start a fire, but also made some torches.

It was a light shade of darkness, and the whole day went by.

A fire was lit in the camp, and the bronze pot was erected. After the great tribulation, everyone sat around the bonfire, blowing the cool mountain breeze under the empty starry sky, as if there was a kind of bitter comfort, which was indescribable for a while.

The water in the pot boiled little by little, and the fragrance overflowed for a while, making everyone who was already hungry swallow their saliva involuntarily. Zheng Xiaofeng picked up a red crab with a branch and handed it to Cheng Ruxue.

Cheng Ruxue was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Zheng Xiaofeng to take care of her so much at this time, and she didn't react at once, but Zheng Xiaofeng didn't care much and began to eat by herself. Liu Bushuai also gave a crab to Chen Yan for the first time, Chen Yan's state was obviously much better than yesterday, the two looked at each other and smiled, kissed lightly, and began to eat.

"You say that life is like a play, is this really true?" Zhou Qianchao didn't forget to speak while gobbling it up, "Lao Tzu won't die this time, when I go back, I must find a young lady to be happy and happy, and work for a night!" ”

This is really vulgar, and several people can't listen to it anymore, and Liu Bushuai even unabashedly "tsk".

This next week, Qian Chao was not happy again, and scolded: "What the hell are you kid doing?" ”

According to Liu Bushuai's temper, he will definitely not endure it, and immediately responded: "You say these words in another place, Lao Tzu is too lazy to care, there are still so many girls here, can you show a little respect, a person will do it and make you happy, isn't it?" ”

", do you believe that Lao Tzu is going to you?" Zhou Qianchao held a crab leg in his mouth, held a crab tongs in his hand, pointed at Liu Bushuai and scolded with a beard, and for a while there was an indescribable sense of joy, which made people want to laugh.

"me? I'd like to see which of us does whoever! Liu Bushuai is not to be outdone, Zheng Xiaofeng has a headache again, these two people are really going to quarrel if they don't agree, and they always have to find a way to mediate, after all, it is not a good thing for the current situation to intensify the contradictions.

Zheng Xiaofeng scratched his head like this, and his eyes turned, but he suddenly found that under the shadow of the woods on the side, there seemed to be a shadow flashing.

Zheng Xiaofeng became nervous for a moment, sat up straight reflexively, and looked in that direction again with a wink.

Everyone was stunned by his action, and followed him into the woods, but no one found anything but the dark shadows.

"You...... What are you looking at? Cheng Ruxue asked.

Zheng Xiaofeng frowned, rubbed his eyes again, but he didn't see anything, but the shadow just now was obviously very real, although he didn't know what it was, but Zheng Xiaofeng couldn't believe that he was wrong, but he didn't know how the shadow disappeared so quickly in the blink of an eye.

"I ..... I saw a shadow flash in the woods, but it disappeared all at once." Zheng Xiaofeng said it truthfully.

"What...... What's the shadow...... Don't scare anyone! Zhou Qianchao was stunned all of a sudden, and the others also showed panicked expressions, it seems that the shadow of fear yesterday is still hanging over everyone's hearts.

"This ......" Zheng Xiaofeng didn't want to create a panic, and hurriedly said, "Maybe I'm dazzled by the wrong ...... I don't know. ”

But the words had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take them back, and suddenly everyone had no desire to continue eating, and then the uncle stood up and said, "What the hell is going on, go and see if you will know." ”

"I'll go with you." Zheng Xiaofeng said, if this matter is not confirmed, these people don't want to rest in peace overnight.

So the uncle took a thick branch casually, and Zheng Xiaofeng touched it one after the other, in fact, by the firelight, the woods were not particularly dim, but when people were nervous, they felt that this half-light and half-dark environment was even more terrifying.

Little by little, the two of them approached the woods, which were full of weeds, and they were almost a man tall. The uncle asked softly, "Where is the shadow you saw just now?" ”

Zheng Xiaofeng pointed to a tree directly in front of him and said, "It's the back, it disappeared in the blink of an eye." ”

The uncle moved a few steps forward, his movements were very cautious, and he stretched out a branch to push the weeds aside little by little, Zheng Xiaofeng stared at the side, but just as he was about to see behind the weeds, a pitch-black thing suddenly swooped from there, and at a very fast speed, it burrowed into the grass farther away.
