Mei Xue opened her hands in surprise, hurriedly retreated, and almost fell into the cliff, waiting to adjust her balance and stand firm, she felt a cool air penetrate her back, and then turned her head to look at the high and deep cliff outside the cave, she wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, trembled, and tiptoed over.

A dazzling white skeleton was on the right side of the cave, lying half against the cave wall, beside a sheathed sword, the black and red wood of the scabbard was dotted with seven broad bean-sized turquoise, and the golden hilt of the sword was inlaid with a copper coin The hilt was inlaid with a copper coin The sun outside the cave, shining with blood-red light, was held tightly by the hand bones of this white bone, and there were some silver taels, jade ornaments, and silk fragments that had long since rotted into looming.

To the left of the skeleton lay a black stone, two feet seven inches wide and three feet five inches high.

When Mei Xue saw this black stone, she couldn't help but move over, she tried her best to keep a distance from the white bones, went around and lifted the black stone, and moved towards the mouth of the cave step by step, and glanced at the white bones with her spare eyes, as if she was afraid of standing up suddenly.

This black stone is of the same stone as the last time it was seen, and the two stones are equal in size according to the distance of the inscription on it, ...... the size of the two stones.

She hurriedly tore off a branch and leaf from the cypress tree, swept away the dust on the stone, and in the opposite direction of the previous stone, a line of words vaguely appeared, "The wind blows the willows on the north bank of the Ru River".

"It seems that night is not day, summer and autumn, and the wind blows willows on the north bank of the Joux River." Mei Xue brushed her hair, frowned, and fell into deep thought: There must be poems below, where will they be hidden? "The north bank of the Joux"? "The wind blows the willows"? Why don't you have this kind of mood in your mind? She rolled her eyes, carefully searched in her memory, and suddenly saw the white bone and couldn't help but feel a thrill, let's find a way to get out, it's too terrible here, it's suffocating.

"Old-timers, a lot of ......, a lot of interruptions, also, please forgive me, please forgive me." Mei Xue panicked, spoke incoherently, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed.

She picked up the sword, the bones on the hilt scattered, she walked to the mouth of the cave and drew the sword vigorously, although there was a slight rust, it was not lacking in sharpness, and a blinding cold light was terrifying.

She was trapped here, there was an abyss of more than fifty zhang below, and the steep mountain could not be jumped and climbed at all, she did not dare to grope into the cave again, and saw that the sky was gradually darkening, and the sun had set. And so she fell asleep with her sword in her arms.

Until the next morning.

When she poked her head out again and looked under the cliff, a thick rope twisted from rattan in front of her face reached the bottom of the ditch, she grabbed the cypress branch tightly, looked up, and saw a ragged, dirty shadow, showing a white tooth smile, disappeared in an instant, she saw it, really saw it, that is her father, her biological father, she shouted loudly with tears: "Daddy——, Ang Ang......, Daddy - Ang Ang ......." ”

She lifted her sleeves, wiped away her tears, and hurriedly slid down the cane, across the deep ravine, and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain.

"Daddy——, Daddy——。"

When she rushed to the top of the mountain out of breath, there was no one to be found. Kneeling helplessly on the rocks, beating his knees and crying loudly, the miserable cry echoed in the mountains for a long, long time.

Mei Xue stood up and walked forward weakly, never forgetting to look around, hoping that her father would smile kindly and stand in front of her, no, she never saw it.

She began to walk towards the top of the mountain, and suddenly she saw the village of Liushukeng, and she had an idea, and went down the mountain all the way to Lixia Village, towards Liushukeng, which was on the north bank of the Ru River.

When passing by Lixia Village, Hongmei saw Mei Xue and hurriedly walked over.

"I went to look for you last night, where did I go?" Hongmei frowned, and asked anxiously: "But grandma is in a hurry, and I still think that the dead old man is making trouble." ”

"I was trapped in a cave last night and only came out this morning ......."

"Let's go home and eat," Before Mei Xue could finish speaking, Hongmei forcefully pulled Mei Xue home to see her grandmother.

"You know what? Our grandma went to find someone from Lao Chang yesterday, and she was going to take you back," Hongmei walked excitedly and walked straight to the joy, jumping and jumping, and said as she walked: "Grandma still thinks that he will not let you go, guess what the result is?" ”

"Hey, why do you still have a sword, where did you get it?" Hongmei snatched the sword, flashed it in her hand, looked it up and down, and said, "The ——, is quite heavy, aren't you tired of holding it?" This red glazed stone is good-looking, pry it down and give it to my sister? ”

"Sister——, why are you like this, you want to destroy a good sword."

"Don't say it, don't say it, go home."

The two sisters went home happily, and when Zhang Guizhi saw that Mei Xue was back, her eyebrows fluttered, her hands waved, and she smiled from ear to ear.

"Oh——, my little granddaughter is back, and I have finally let go of a piece of my heart disease, let it go," Zhang Guizhi hurriedly moved the stool, said the excited tears, pulled up his sleeves to wipe away the tears, snorted twice, and continued: "Hungry——, my precious granddaughter, go to the house, go to the house, grandma will slaughter chickens for you to eat, go now, go here." ”

Chang Yufu heard that the little granddaughter was back, and he also walked out slowly with a cane in his coat, and when he saw them all coming in, he slowly turned around, but turned his head again, staring at the sword in Mei Xue's hand, staring at it all the time, and that look made people feel frightened.

Mei Xue saw her grandfather's strange eyes, looked down at the sword, looked at her grandfather, and slowly and timidly held her hands in front of her grandfather and asked, "Grandpa, are you looking at this?" ”

"Stool, bring me the stool," Chang Yufu kept looking at the sword, even when he spoke, he kept staring at it, and said, "Help me sit down." ”

Chang Yufu held the sword, old tears were rampant, and his rough and shriveled hands trembled, and he kept rubbing on the sword.
