The next day, when Xiao Ling'er got up, it was already dawn, and when he raised his eyes, Qu Bingru was no longer in the cave. A ray of sunshine, which he knew was short-lived in the valley, hurriedly got up and prepared to get out of the hole. As soon as I walked to the entrance of the cave, my nose smelled a fragrance that I hadn't smelled for several days. Could it be Bing'er?

Qu Bingru, who was squatting on the edge of the pond and was busy, saw Xiao Ling'er who came out of the hole, stopped what he was doing, and beckoned to him: "Brother Xiao, go wash up, and you will be ready to eat in a while." ”

Xiao Ling'er walked over quickly to take a look, only to see that Qu Bingru somehow made a fire, and somehow found a clay pot with half missing, the fragrance came from it, and next to the fire, there was a crooked and missing bowl-shaped item, but it was very clean.

"Bing'er, how did you start the fire, and what is in the jar? ”

"Brother Xiao, you don't know. Qu Bingru stood up, her face was smiling like a flower, and her nose was still stained with a little charcoal ash, Xian, she happily pointed to the sunlight on the ground and said: "The fire is it, I used the mirror on the stone wall to reflect the light, and made a fire, for this jar, I found it by the pond, although the workmanship is a little worse, and it is broken, but it can still be used after washing, for the food inside, the wild vegetables in the valley, the wild fruits, everything, this is a secret, I can't tell you." ”

Seeing Qu Bing's naughty appearance, Xiao Ling'er stretched out her hand to wipe the ashes off her nose, and he suddenly thought that if she continued to live here like this, it would be fine.

Qu Bingru stirred a few times in the jar with two smoothed branches and said, "Okay, okay, it's cooked, Brother Xiao, you can taste it." ”

Took the clay bowl that Qu Bingru served, the porridge-like food in the bowl rushed into Xiao Ling'er's nose with a sweet and sour fragrance, he tasted it, the food was fragrant, and there was a little herb taste, he only felt that this was the best thing he had eaten in the past few days, he couldn't guess what it was, but he believed that Qu Bingru's craftsmanship could make such food in this environment, except for Qu Bingru, no one had this ability anymore.

"How is it?, is it delicious?" Qu Bingru looked at Xiao Ling'er with a look of anticipation, blinking widely.

Xiao Ling'er raised her head and swept away the bowl, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's really delicious, Bing'er, you're amazing." ”

A flush rose on Qu Bingru's face: "Brother Xiao is telling a lie, what kind of delicacy is this, it's just some wild fruits and some wild vegetables, it's not as delicious as any mountain delicacies." ”

"No, no. Xiao Ling'er shook her head, "This is not a lie, those things are too far from what you have done." ”

Qu Bingru lowered his head and was silent, suddenly raised his head, and frowned thoughtfully: "Brother Xiao, you see, these utensils have been used for a long time, I think this senior who lives in the valley should also be gone, if he has a companion, it's okay, if he is alone, he is really lonely to old age." ”

"Bing'er, don't think about it. Xiao Ling'er comforted her and said, "There are only used items left in Tianji Valley, and this senior has not been found, it is very likely that he has left a long time ago, I believe we will definitely find an exit." ”

"I hope so. Qu Bingru's tone was leisurely.

After eating the food made by Qu Bingru, Xiao Ling'er felt full of strength, and looking at Qu Bingru again, her body seemed to be fine, and the bruises on her arms were also talked a lot.

Could it be that there is something special about this valley, in addition to being able to live, but also to heal wounds?

The two walked into the stone cave, took a closer look, and did not find anything special, only this stone bed, Xiao Linger took a closer look, only to find that this stone bed is not an ordinary stone, such as Huagang stone, it is noon at this time, although there is not much sunshine in the valley, but the temperature is much higher than at night, it is a cold stone, but it is not very cold to the touch, but there is a warm touch in the hand.

Qu Bingru stretched his hand and tried it: "It's amazing, the night in the valley is wet and cold, I didn't feel uncomfortable lying on the stone bed, and I didn't feel cold, but I slept very soundly, it turned out that this stone bed is not an ordinary stone." I don't know how much time and effort it took to dig it. ”

Xiao Ling'er nodded: "Bing'er, you're right, look at this Tianji Valley, the top of the valley is full of toxic miasma, and the bottom of the valley is a cave, we fell, it can be regarded as fate, let us know that this place is called Tianji Valley, I think except for the predecessors who lived here before, only we know this place." ”

"Alas. Xiao Ling'er sighed and looked out of the cave, "I don't know how Xia Shuang's life and death are now, if I can't find her, how should I face her father under Jiuquan, and I don't know where Master and they are now." ”

Hearing Xiao Ling'er say the word Xia Shuang, Qu Bingru's face changed slightly unhappy, but in a flash, she comforted Xiao Ling'er and said, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I'm sure you will find her and do what you want to do." ”

"I hope so. Xiao Ling'er let out a long breath.

"Brother Xiao, you practice first, and then I'll go find some wild fruits and vegetables, so that I can be hungry at night." Qu Bingru walked out of the stone cave after speaking.

Looking at Qu Bingru's figure, Xiao Linger didn't know her thoughts, but in his heart, there were still many unsolved mysteries, and there were still many things he hadn't done, he couldn't just stay here and not go out, but at the same time, he also felt guilty Qu Bingru's thoughts in his heart, this girl had done a lot of things for him, and it was impossible for Xiao Linger not to repay her,

At night, after eating the dinner made by Qu Bingru, the two were no longer out of the cave, and quietly waited for the moonlight on the stone wall to appear again.

When the moonlight fell on the lake again, reflected on the stone wall, and then threw it into the stone cave, Xiao Ling'er said softly: "Bing'er, you can look carefully about this moonlight." ”

"Brother Xiao, don't worry, I'll be careful. Qu Bingru laughed.

With the passage of time, the moonlight on the stone wall gradually brightened, and the stone cave was like daylight, and the two disk-like "mirrors" slowly overlapped together.

After another moment, Qu Bingru said softly: "Brother Xiao, look, the dividing line between gossip yin and yang has come out. ”

Xiao Ling'er's eyes widened, turning her neck, at the junction of the two discs, a curved line did appear looming, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't have paid attention to this detail.

When this line appears, the two overlapping discs seem to be at rest, and it becomes clearer which line is more and more clear.

"Brother Xiao, this is the time. Qu Bingru said and walked to the stone wall, picked up a small stone from the ground, drew a gossip map on the stone wall, and then said to Xiao Ling'er, "Brother Xiao, look, this gossip map is not like this." ”

Xiao Ling'er nodded: "That's true." ”

"That's right, if my judgment is correct, this should be the key to the exit. After Qu Bingru finished speaking, he pointed to the end of the line and said, "Brother Xiao, you jump up and press the stone wall at both ends of the line, remember, go up first and then go down, don't press it the other way around." ”

The "disc mirror" is only a foot from the ground, although the stone wall is smooth and there is no place to stay, but this is not difficult for Xiao Ling'er, I saw that his body jumped slightly, he jumped up, and pressed his hand on the stone wall at the top of the dividing line, but the tentacle was a hard stone wall, there was nothing special, he stretched his hand and pressed it again, and it was the same.

"Bing'er, the stone wall is not moving. Xiao Ling'er stretched out her left hand, clasped a bulge on the stone wall, and shouted to Qu Bingru.

"Brother Xiao, you go up. ”。

Xiao Ling'er took a breath, put her hand on the stone wall again, her body jumped up again, and tried again according to Qu Bingru's words, this time she didn't expect her hand to use much force on the stone wall, and the stone wall actually sank down a small piece.

With Xiao Ling'er's action, the originally calm stone wall actually shook.
