Chapter 10 The Cave House in the High Gorge

readx; Grandpa Li, the medicine picker, had no choice but to tell Princess Yu'e what happened. It turned out that my grandfather's family was fishermen by the river, and they occasionally went up to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, and their ancestors had been living in this Shenren Mountain and the Grand Canyon for generations.www.biquge.info

"I don't know what kind of life I did it! These days the prince of the dragon kingdom has come. It is said that the prince is also a member of this god and man mountain according to his ancestors, but he does something that goes against his ancestors and forgets his roots. Relying on the current Celestial Empire's dog power, they led hundreds of thousands of troops to drive the people within a radius of tens of thousands of miles to the mountains. It is said that the canyon cliff wall crossed by savages will be pushed down the river by the army. If you have to intercept the river and let the river rise, you can force some mountain and wild people out, and if you can't force it, you have to drive away some monsters and wild animals. What kind of sin did you do in your life? What kind of hunting! Those officials and rich people just want to hunt and catch cattle in this mountain forest, but they come up with this method to rectify the common people. Princess, think about it, we all grew up on the side of this mountain gorge for generations, and we are used to the days when there are mountains and rivers, and the ancestral houses and fields are all built and opened with hard work, and even the tombs and tablets of our ancestors are rested in this mountain. You say, aren't these places the meat and soul of our lives! But they are going to be stripped away by the grandfathers of the officers and soldiers, what do you say? The officers and soldiers have issued an order, and if they do not move out within the time limit, they will have to wait to be flooded. There are a few families in our neighboring villages, and they don't move, saying that they want to live and die with the old house. Grandpa Li said angrily.

"Didn't the official army build some Gaotang City by the river, why don't you move there?" Yu'e remembered the press conference held by Uncle Long and them to rescue the princess when they were crossing the wild man, so she asked.

"What kind of city, I haven't even had a glimpse of it yet, how can it be possible that a city can be built overnight! The foundation of the city is still being built -- Gaotang to block the water, and the houses in the city are still far away! Besides, with this kind of waterproof city, it is not those local rich and powerful people who forcibly occupy it, and it is not the turn of us rural people. I heard that the gentleman of the academy used to teach in our place, and he knew how to chew words and words, and he has been very shabby. But he didn't want to come to the powerful people of the Dragon Kingdom, so he shook his head in front of the Dragon grandfathers. is wagging his tail and tongue again, and he is making suggestions, not only has he won their favor, but now he is actually appointed as the city lord of these Gaotang New Cities. Oh, that incorruptible and shameful person in front of Grandpa Long and Grandma Long, and after a while, he turned into a powerful posture in front of the people and neighbors, which really made the mountain people despised!" Grandpa Li said indignantly.

"I see, so what should I do now?" Yu'e said as she listened.

"Your Majesty, princess, forgive the old man for your courage! I am also an old bone, and I will die when I die. Now I am afraid of the old and young in the family, and suddenly there is no house to rely on, how can I be a good person! There is a begging that should not be there, and I don't know whether to talk about it, I beg the princess for forgiveness!" Grandpa Li knelt down and begged again.

"Grandpa, don't be afraid, although I am a princess of a small country, I have never regarded myself as a princess. Just say what you have and see how I can help you. The princess helped Grandpa Li up and said.

"Princess, I also heard that the prince of the Dragon Kingdom flooded the gorge because the wild man jumped out and kidnapped the princess. Now that you are in this cave, if you want to save the princess, we only need to collect a few medicines, look at the terrain of this rock cliff, and tie some ropes is enough, no need to work hard. If the river is blocked and the Grand Canyon is flooded, although the tide rises, it will indeed rescue and welcome the princess, but it will hurt the people! I am afraid that the princess will not want this matter of asking the sin and causing the villagers! Begging the princess, can you ask the princes to let them stop. Otherwise, it will make people angry, and it will not be good!" Grandpa Li begged.

"Grandpa, that's what you said. Although I am a princess, in fact, like the common people, I can't get used to those coy attitudes that invite merit and glory. It's just that I've been living in a cave these days, but I don't know that so much is happening under the mountain, if it weren't for your old man himself, how would I know that there is such a danger. I didn't think that I was a little princess, but I caused a lot of trouble to the people, and if it wasn't for your reminder, I almost got into a big disaster. I must find a way to deal with this matter. Well, I have to ask the prince and Uncle Long to think twice, why don't I fix a book now, you can bring it to the prince and Uncle Long, I believe there must be a solution. Don't worry too much, grandpa!" said the princess, as she went into the cave to find a handkerchief and a pen, and began to write. Yu'e was also comforting Grandpa Li on the side. Shao Bi, the letter has been written, the princess handed it to Grandpa Li, explaining that it was for the prince to read with Uncle Long, so he let Grandpa Li hang out of the hole.

The medicine picker, Grandpa Li, carried the princess's letter in his arms, like a reassuring pill, and hurried all the way straight to the savage ferry where the prince was stationed. didn't know that this princess was just a new daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door, and besides, the Silk Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom were far apart, and the princess had never had a friendship with them. And the crown prince and Uncle Long, how can they be dealt with a letter? It's just that the people of the mountains and wilderness kindly thought that they had received the princess's own handwriting, so they were in a hurry to give orders that could come in handy. How much weight can the little princess of the Silk Kingdom have in the eyes of the Dragon Kingdom? But Grandpa Li thought alone, since the matter was because the princess was robbed, now that the princess is safe and sound, and the princess has no need to make a big move, will it still have no effect? Think about his big family, think about the old house where he lives every day, how good it would be if he really kept it!

The officials have always considered the same as the ordinary people's extravagant expectations, and the mountain people are afraid that they are too kind. Sure enough, when Grandpa Li delivered the letter to the prince's barracks and stood alone for a long time, not only did he not meet the prince, but after the officials read the letter, he was beaten dozens of boards in a burst of anger. In the end, thanks to his two sons, he came and slowly helped him to reluctantly go home to recuperate.

The princess still lives in the cave with Yu'e, but she has a little more thought and hope. Since Grandpa Li left, there has been no news of him, and I don't know what happened to the delivery of the letter. It's just that the next day it was no longer a herb man, but a group of officers and soldiers. They brought with them much silk, cloth, carpets, and so on, and they began to spread the bedding inside and outside the cave, and hung and hung it. All of a sudden, the cave became larger, and it was no longer a barren and withered mountain, but like a beautiful newlywed cave house. Princess Yu'e thought that it would be enough to stop arranging like this, but she didn't expect that the two officers and soldiers who had been sent by the two soldiers had been standing straight at the entrance of the cave. When I asked the reason, I learned that Uncle Long sent soldiers to guard the entrance of the cave in order to prevent accidents, not only not allowing outsiders and savages to enter the cave, but also as if not letting Princess Yu'e get close to the cave. When the other officers and soldiers were leaving, they reported the prince's message to the princess. It is said that the princess lives in this cave, and 100,000 officers and soldiers and everyone will protect it intimately. When the damming of the Savage Ferry is completed, and the flood waters overflow into the cave, the prince of the Dragon Kingdom will come in a high boat and come to Wangnu Peak in person. At that time, the two of them will meet in the wedding cave room on the top of the mountain, meet the high gorge "Queqiao" together, worship the sun and the moon together, and be the Yunxia immortal couple who lives together with the wings, isn't it wonderful!

After hearing this, the princess was angry and depressed for a long time. I think that Grandpa Li must have been treated hard by the princes and officials. These grandfathers have always despised the common people. The Tencel Kingdom is like this, the father is like this, what difference can there be in the Dragon Kingdom? Now it's good, instead of helping Grandpa Li, and many people by the river gorge, even he has become a small cage bird who can't move half a step.

It seems that in order to save me, this Uncle Long has thought about a lot of things! Not only did he invite the prince to come to the town in person, but he also wanted to carry out some kind of savage crossing and water blocking project. This Yu'e too, never told me in detail, is there something so powerful about it? If it weren't for Grandpa Li, how would I know about what happened recently. I was also trapped in a cave by these hypocritical guys, not to mention, and was wrapped into a gold wire cage, which made me think that nothing happened. Yu'e is nothing, wait to scare and scare, you can ask the details. It's just that the mountain people under the mountain have suffered, and they have been implicated by me, a princess with a bitter life, and have suffered many undeserved sins. I said no wonder these days, looking at the riverside villages are all panicked, it turns out that they are all tossed by the official army. Poor Grandpa Li's family, I don't know what kind of punishment they are still suffering at this time? This is a trick they have always used, using some vicious and terrible punishments to speak to the indifferent people.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly not far from the cave, there was a loud bang, which shook even the cave a little. After the loud noise, there seemed to be some water noise. Princess Yu'e wanted to go to the entrance of the cave to check, but was blocked by the pair of officers and soldiers. But under the princess's fierce reprimand, they didn't dare to insist. The princess has always known the mentality of these people, and she has always bullied the weak and feared the hard. The officers and soldiers were also interested in the sound just now, so they also looked at the princess. The wild man looked from this mountain, but it was not too far away. However, the savage cliff that seemed to stand as usual seemed to be gone. Maybe that's what they call the Savage Crossing Project. Sure enough, an official guarding the cave exclaimed, "It's successful, the Dragon Prince is really powerful". The princess was silent, but turned back to the cave and sat alone.

The cave was quiet. But now it doesn't look dilapidated, but it has a bit of a gorgeous palace courtyard. It's just that Princess Yu'e didn't move, only the little white monkey was excited by the newly decorated playthings in the cave, either pulling here or screaming there, and she didn't stop to be happy.

The princess suddenly sat still, stared at Yu'e, and said loudly:

"Dare Yu'e, dare to deceive the princess?!"

"Ah...... What, princess, I didn't?" Yu'e argued.

"What a Yu'e, I'm learning more and more to be hypocritical!

"Oh, princess, I didn't! Ever since I was rescued, I was heartbroken to find out that I had lost my sister. I was afraid of my sister's safety, so I had to bite the bullet and ask about the whereabouts of Princess Uncle Long. It's just that Uncle Long is fierce and vicious, and you know that. I think he has the intention of condemning me, which is also right, originally Yu'e didn't take care of it and let the princess fall into the water. I had no choice but to go along with it, and said more kind things to compliment him, and he let me go for a while. Yu'e grew up beside the little princess and didn't dare to be a little false. Yu'e just wants to know the whereabouts of the princess as soon as possible, and she wants to accompany the princess in her dreams, and she will never dare to deceive the princess!"

Then why don't you explain the situation down the mountain? The day before yesterday, I was thinking about Grandpa Li, good you Yu'e, don't talk about the flooding of the Great Gorge, don't talk about the savages crossing the water, not to mention the prince's appearance and character. Do you think the princess has lived here and enjoyed her happiness? It's been so long, why have they come, and they don't have a plan to save the princess? Are you a fool to be a princess, and you can't see anything?"

"Well, this, hey, it's Yu'e who is not good, and she didn't explain it to the princess. Ask the princess to confess! It's just that this way to save the princess is really ridiculous. Yu'e is afraid, I'm afraid that if you know, you won't have a good impression of the prince of the Dragon Kingdom! Hey, I finally said it......!

"Guilt, again, do you say that I am your fierce god?" said the princess angrily.

"Yes, yes, I'll talk about it......"
