Chapter 5: The Tree Cave

Soon, the medicine was evenly applied to the skin of Xiao Yalu. I saw that Xiaoba was too slow, and I also helped wipe it for a long time in the middle of Xinqu. A qiฤ“ is ready to be completed. Xinqu went to the lake to wash her hands, and then took out a chain from her small satchel to cuff the prisoner. The chains are about five meters long. Without waiting for Hachi's reaction, one end was handcuffed to Hachi's ankle, and the other head was slapped into a boulder next to him with a "boom" with a coquettish cry of Xinqu. Looking at this boulder, which was at least five hundred pounds, Xinqu patted the lime on his hand with satisfaction.

"You pull it out and try it"

Hearing his sister's command, Hachi immediately began to pull out the chains. But no matter how hard you try, you can't pull it out. Seeing his younger brother whose face was flushed red because of the excessive force, Xinqu's smile became even sweeter, and her big eyes bent into a beautiful crescent.

He patted his brother's head and said, "Dear brother, may God bless you, and tomorrow you will not become a pig's head." โ€

After finishing speaking, Xinqu didn't look at Hachi again, turned around and picked up Hachi's clothes, and ran like a village.

Only Hachi, who was left in place, looked dazed. I don't understand why my sister locked herself here, and I don't understand why I turned into a pig's head. A few loud shouts were made, but there was no answer. Apparently my sister has gone far.

"Is my sister just letting me freeze here all night? But it's summer now, and it's not that cold" The more I thought about it, the more confused Xiaohachi just leaned quietly on the stone, thinking about sleeping for a night, and my sister would always come to pick her up tomorrow.

A few minutes after I closed my eyes, I suddenly heard a buzzing sound in my ears. Hachi didn't open his eyes, he slapped him instinctively, and muttered a nasty mosquito to himself. But it didn't take long for another buzzing sound to be heard. Hachi slapped him again, muttering that there were a lot of mosquitoes here. But then the buzzing sound became more and more, until it became a piece and surrounded Xiaoba's ears all the time.

Xiao Hachi, who was a little sleepy just now, opened his eyes violently. Oh my God, what is this. I saw a dense dot around me flying in the air, this must be thousands of mosquitoes! Xiao Hachi, who was suddenly panicked, could only instinctively wave his fists and feet, and the surrounding mosquitoes, like moths to a fire, crashed into Xiao Hachi's body. Then suck a tube of the child's blood hard.

In a short time, Hachi was bitten dozens of bags, which were itchy and painful, but he couldn't stop scratching the itch, because as long as he stopped swinging his fists to scratch the itch, more mosquitoes would pounce on him and bite him. So he can only swing his fists to protect his body. After a long time of punching and itching on the body, the body of the guide zhรฌ Xiaoba could no longer bear it. And in the face of the seemingly endless mosquitoes, this unbelievable fear finally broke through Xiaoba's spiritual defense. It instantly broke his spirit. At this time, after a few fist swings in the last instinct, Hachi fell down and fell into a coma again.

Countless mosquitoes saw Hachi fall, and they pounced at the same time, ready to enjoy the delicious cake in their eyes. And at this moment, a huge wind blew, blowing away a large number of mosquitoes that were already lying on Xiaohachi's body and preparing to enjoy the delicious food.

A slender figure flashed to Xiaoba's side, but it was not a formal song.

After Xinqu lit a strange incense, all the mosquitoes around it flew away. Xinqu hurriedly stuffed a pill into Xiaoba's mouth. At this time, she lowered her head and looked at Xiao Hachi, who was unconscious on the ground, and there was no intact skin on her body that had not been bitten by mosquitoes, her eyes were red, and her slender, soft palms gently stroked Xiao Hachi's pimple skin. With a painful moan from Hachi's coma, a tear fell on Hachi's body.

early morning

"Hmm~" With a soft cry, Hachi finally woke up from his coma. Lying on the ground, remembering where it was and why it was here. As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Bayi sat up. Quickly touched his whole body.

"Hey, why haven't you been bitten at all?" Looking at his smooth skin, Hachi was a little puzzled, obviously he had been overwhelmed by the mosquito army yesterday, was it a dream?

And just as Hachi began to study whether it was a dream or not, Xinqu came over from the lake. took a small stick in his hand and whipped it on Hachi. Hachi, who was in pain, immediately jumped up. I was about to ask my sister for justice, why did I beat myself.

Xinqu just said coldly, "Swimming today, fifty back and forth" After speaking, he grabbed Xiaoba, and after Xiaoba shouted for help, there was a "plop" sound on the lake, causing ripples.

......

East to spring, in a blink of an eye, Xiaoba is already sixteen years old, after his sister's careful training in the past five years, his body does not have exaggerated muscles, but is exceptionally well-proportioned. It's like a cheetah, full of explosiveness, and he's grown a lot taller, half a head taller than his sister Xinqu, but he still has a youthful appearance. And from being tired and fainting almost every day at the beginning, to being comatose every once in a while by my sister's whim. Up to now, no matter what kind of problems my sister has, Hachi can insist on completing them. And as Xiaoba grew up, he also shared some of the housework, such as chopping wood and making up for the family by the way after practicing every day.

In the early morning of this day, the weather was fine, and Xiaoba brought the tools for chopping wood early to the door of his sister's house and waited.

"Xinqu, Xinqu ......", Xiaoba whispered her sister's name a few times at the door. I only heard a burst of laughter like silver bells, and a shadow swished down from the roof, startling Xiaoba. The seventeen-year-old girl has the beauty of an angel, a fair and pink face, eyebrows like Yuandai, eyes like a clear spring, a nose like a gall, delicate lips and teeth, standing in front of Xiaoba.

"How many times have you said it, call me sister, you idiot. Xinqu flicked his head and said coquettishly.

"Sister......" Xiaoba looked at the beautiful sister who was only a stone's throw away, and was getting more and more out of place, she was actually a little uncomfortable, and shouted loudly.

"That's good, it's not in vain that my sister has been covering you. Xinqu rubbed his head, "Let's go, I'll take you to another place to practice today." โ€

"And let me call my sister, I'm taller than you......" muttered lightly. He quickened his pace and galloped up.

"Where are you going to practice today?"

"Well, let's go to the mountains."

The emerald green mountains are dotted with two small figures, one green and one white. The roadside is covered with lush trees with a botanical fragrance unique to early summer. The mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mountains are steep. The sunlight sprinkled the sparse spots, sprinkled on my sister's snow-white clothes and long black hair, making Xiaoba behind him look in a daze. Halfway up the mountain, there is a waterfall that seems to fall from the sky. The two walked to the mountain stream on the side of the road, and Xiaoba pretended to be out of breath and said, "Sister, let's rest here, drink saliva and then continue walking?" Xinqu likes to play in water the most on weekdays, and this mountain stream is also a common place to play in summer, so he agreed. "Okay, let's rest for a while when you're tired. Hachi hurriedly ran to the water's edge and threw several handfuls of water to quench his thirst. The mountain spring was clear and sweet, and after drinking it, he lay down on the green grass under the tree, listened to the joyful song of the birds, and closed his eyes.

I only heard the sound of something breaking, and then plopped, Xiaoba quickly sat up, only to see that my sister actually fell into the water.

"I'm so angry!" my sister flew ashore in a rage. Look at another mountain stream, a broken branch. My sister must have been naughty and jumped to play on this towering ancient tree whose branches and leaves grew in the middle of the waterfall. Unexpectedly, what she stepped on would be a dead branch, which caught my sister off guard and fell into the water. If it is a good branch, it must have reached the top of the tree with the light power of Xinqu. Fortunately, Xinqu is familiar with the water, and the river is not very deep, so Xinqu will get out of the water with a force. Only now it's covered in water, very wolf-bรจi. In summer, the clothes are light and thin, and the soaked Xinqu is as beautiful as the flower bones after the rain. When swinging your head to stroke your long hair. Something was suddenly felt. When I turned around, I just saw that Xiaoba was looking at himself with his mouth open. suddenly realized something, her pretty face turned red, and she scolded in her mouth: "Little rabbit, you dare to look at my jokes." He dodged and hid behind a tree.

Xiao Hachi suddenly felt that his mouth was dry, as if there was a fire burning in his body, and he hurriedly ran to the water's edge, desperately throwing water on his face. But I still feel that my face is hot. A sixteen-year-old boy is in the embryonic period of youth, and although he doesn't know much about some things, he has heard some of them. looked at himself with red ears in the water, scolded himself fiercely in his heart for "beast", and plunged his head into the water.

Fortunately, the weather is good today, and Xinqu is lucky, and the clothes are half-dry in an instant. Sneaking a glance at Hachi, who plunged into the water, he couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement. I was about to go out and play with him, but my eyes were attracted by something, and I said "huh" softly.

And when Hachi in the distance was annoyed with himself, he heard his sister's exclamation, "Come on, Hachi, look at this." โ€

Xiaoba hurriedly got up and rushed to her sister's side, only to see that this big tree with dense branches and leaves needed at least three adults to carry it, and the roots and branches were wrong, straight into the sky. The place where my sister pointed was the root of the tree, Xiao Hachi felt vaguely abnormal, but he couldn't understand, and asked suspiciously: "Sister, what's here?" Xinqu didn't make a sound, just broke a branch from the side, gently brushed away the moss at the root, and it was empty, and then knocked down the trunk, it turned out that the tree was hollow, only the bark. No wonder Xinqu falls from a tree branch. But why does it still look lush and green on the outside, just like other trees? Hachi screamed, and Xinqu put her finger to her lips to silence him. The two of them worked together to restore the moss and dead branches to their original state, and then checked the other nearby trees to make sure that this was the case before turning back to their original places.

Hachi asked in a low voice, "Sister, what should we do now?" Xinqu blinked her eyes wide and pointed to the wooden stick in her hand. The two of them carefully opened the hole opening, just enough for one person to enter and exit, and there were no five fingers in it, which looked unfathomable. Xinqu thought for a while and said, "Good little eight, you go and bring over the rope you used to tie the firewood." Hachi ran to get the rope. Xinqu tied the rope around her waist. Xiaoba was shocked: "Sister, you want to go down, who knows what's inside?"

"If I don't go down, are you going down? You are so stupid, if you encounter any situation, you will definitely be in a hurry, and you will be ...... like last time?" Sister, don't be angry. โ€

Xinqu didn't mention it anymore, tightened the rope around her waist, and was ready to go down. Xiao Ba looked nervous: "Sister, you must be careful, if there is any situation, you must shout loudly, and I will pull you up immediately." โ€

"Got it, hurry up. I saw Xinqu's figure slowly sinking into the cave, and I could only feel from the pull of the rope that my sister was descending little by little. The rope is not too long, and it will soon be almost enough, and Hachi is about to call his sister out in a hurry. But I felt that the head seemed to have no weight, and my sister seemed to have stepped on the ground. Stretching out his head and looking inside, he vaguely felt a bright light flash a few times, and then looked closely and disappeared, as if the end of the rope had been thrown away. I shook the rope and didn't respond. Hachi anxiously lay down and shouted at the entrance of the tree hole.

"Sister, sister, are you okay, don't scare me!" The anxious Hachi spun straight around at the entrance of the cave. Why not myself who regretted going down? At this moment, he found that the other end of the rope was sinking, and he vaguely heard Xinqu shouting: "Pull me up quickly." The relieved Hachi immediately pulled up the rope with all his might. In an instant, Xinqu flew lightly from under the tree hole, patted the dust on her body and said to Xiaoba, "Come on, let's restore the entrance to the cave again." โ€

Xiaoba looked at his sister coming up intact and let out a sigh: "Fortunately, sister, you're fine, I was so scared when you threw away the rope just now." What's down there?" my sister didn't seem to hear what Hachi was saying, but her expression was a little thoughtful in arranging the entrance to the cave. Xiaoba screamed several times before Xinqu came back to his senses, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Xiaoba puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Sister, what's wrong with you? What's down there? Isn't it terrifying, you're a little stupid and ignore me. Hachi asked with concern as he packed up the rope.

"I'm fine, there's nothing down there, it's just a hollow. Probably just a lair abandoned by some beast. Xinqu got up absentmindedly, "Let's pick up some firewood and go home." I'm a little tired today, so I'll take you to practice another day. โ€

Although Hachi was a little disappointed, he still obediently agreed. After all, my sister fell into the water today and wet her clothes, and she struggled to climb up and down to explore this strange tree hole. Picking up the firewood, Xiaoba still asked his sister puzzled: "Sister, why do you say that this tree is empty in the middle, and it looks like other trees on the outside?"

"I don't know, don't ask me. Xinqu looked at the stains on her dress in frustration. Hachi didn't seem to be in a good mood when she saw her sister. Just shut up and work silently. It was already three poles in the morning, and the dry food brought by my sister fell into the water again, and the two of them were hungry and tired, so they quickly went down the mountain.

But Hachi couldn't let go of that strange tree hole in his heart.
