Since then, the Wenwu brothers and sisters have been together for another three years. In the past three years, the friendship between the two has deepened. With the help of Wu Zhe, the daily picking, fishing and hunting are fruitful and fruitful.

At this time, Wu Zhe was already eighteen years old and began to show his youthful physique. He has a muscular body and a handsome face. Wen Xiao is also fifteen years old and has grown a lot. Fishing and hunting, which used to be difficult, has now become extremely easy, and the Wen family's food and clothing are no longer a problem, but the grandmother is getting older. Long-term wild food could not provide balanced nutrition, resulting in the Wen family's weakness and illness. In addition to solving his father's bedtime, Wen Xiao also learned to go up the mountain to collect medicine.

On this day, after fishing and hunting, the two came to the top of the mountain to collect medicine. Wu Zhe proposed to look for it on the distant mountain. The two of them waded through the forest and water, and trekked to the mountains they had never been before. A section of ruins in the middle of the mountain, stretching intermittently next to a gravel knoll. Wen Xiao saw that the stone paintings on the ground were very special, so the two of them kept digging. I dug up the stone Buddha on the back and saw the words next to the stone Buddha. The two of them carved the lines on the bark of the tree and took them home.

At night, Wen Xiao lay on the wooden couch and couldn't sleep for a long time......

'Smack' ——

A slap on the leg made the mosquito pay the price of blood. It is not that mosquitoes are abundant in the mountains and countryside, but that the conditions of the Wen family are extremely difficult, and the only two quilts are covered by his father and grandmother. And Wen Xiao, who has never used a futon in the cold winter.

Outside the window, the Mid-Autumn Festival moon is like a ripe lemon, swaying with freshness, quietly peeking at the people who can't sleep at night. Among them, Wen Xiao naturally also includes. She pondered: The stone paintings are vast, who painted them? What stories are hidden in the old age? Turning over and over again, her thoughts are free, and she falls asleep unconsciously......

It was still quiet outside the window, and a figure climbed up to the window edge and asked quietly:

"Sister Wen, have you slept?"

Wen Xiao's auricle moved slightly. Pulled to the window by the familiar call, he pushed his arms.

'Squeak ——'

"Brother Wu, what's the matter with this deep change?"

"Sister Wen? was told by Ah Niu next door, those lines read:

The thousand-year-old reincarnation treasure temple, the cave is full of wonderful pens.

The blood peeps into the heavens, and the Buddha is destined to be a family.

The divine soldiers cast their masterpieces, and the Three Realms slashed like hemp.

.................. ，..................。

The last two sentences blame me for copying them differently, Ah Niu he can't understand. Tomorrow morning, Ah Niu will go to the school to study, so I want to take him to the mountains tonight to identify. Since there is a 'treasure temple' in the inscription between the lines, it is not known if there is a treasure? What do you think?"

"Yes...... What should we do if we encounter jackals and beasts when we go up the mountain in the middle of the night?"

"Sister Wen, don't be afraid, I took a sickle, a little beast, I can handle it. If you are afraid, you can rest at home, and I will go with Ah Niu to see what is going on. ”

"Eh~ and slow...... Brother Wu, wait, I'll go!

Deeper people are still birds without singing, and brave threesomes. Occasionally, a cricket screamed, and the three of them hugged each other. Walking in the deep mountains and forests, the feet are overgrown with weeds, and there are thorns and obstacles.

'Boom ——'

Three scythes slashed through the weeds and continued on their way. From time to time, the cry of a hungry wolf was heard, which made the friends tremble. They overcame their fears, climbed the mountains, and finally came to the Buddha statue. Wen Xiao gently brushed away the weeds in the moonlight.

'Ah——h

With an exclamation, behind the Buddha statue, a spotted white python suddenly came out and bit Wen Xiao's arm unprepared. Seeing this, Wu Zhe hurriedly grabbed the white python a few times and killed it. carefully comforted the crying Wen Xiao and examined her wounds. The bite on Wen Xiao's arm was purple and black, showing signs of poison.

Wu Zhe regretted that he shouldn't have come late at night! He bit Wen Xiao's wound with his mouth and sucked hard. Salty, poisonous blood enters the mouth. Turning his head and spitting on the Buddha statue, repeat it several times. And he took the root of the tree, chewed it, and put it on it.

Wen Xiao's mood stabilized slightly, and the three of them wanted to leave here.

'Click——'

There was a thunderclap and heavy rain under the clear sky. Dark clouds covered the moon, and lightning replaced the light. The Buddha statue suddenly waxed, and the three of them stared in fear. The stone Buddha turned into a puddle of blood, and a staircase emerged from the seat, reaching into the ground at the entrance of the basin......

'Click——'

Lightning slashed mercilessly down on the opposite hill. When a cluster of sparks flew, a deciduous pine fell heroically to the ground. The rain poured down like a curtain of crystal beads hanging under the clouds. The skewers smashed on the faces of the three people, cool from the outside to the inside......

The sudden change in the sky made Ah Niu, a weak scholar, anxious:

"Ah, let's go quickly? It's so scary! There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune. In case of...... What are we going to do if something we can't see and eat us?"

"No—— Brother Wu, aren't we here to hunt for treasures? Since the entrances have appeared, why don't you go down and take a look?" Wen Xiao was curious, and he insisted on finding out.

"Well, it looks dark inside, but the hole doesn't seem to be deep. Besides, the Buddha statue disappeared in a blink of an eye, and there must be a doorway here. Since you are here to hunt for treasures, how can there be any reason to return empty-handed?—— Ah Niu? You wait here, and I will take Sister Wen down to take a look and go back! Even if we find nothing, it is not in vain for us to visit late at night. ”

The minority obeys the majority, and the bull wants to stop talking!

Wen and Wu cautiously put their feet in. The underneath is dark and narrow, damp and rotten. The two held hands, one in front of the other. With his back against the damp barrier, he moved forward step by step, groping his way forward. I thought: the stone mound is not big, and the hole is not too deep. Unexpectedly, a quarter of an hour was coming to an end, and the two had not yet found out. The heartbeat intensified with the delay of time, Wen Xiao tried to give up, and Wu Zhe also had the intention......

The two of them were just about to evacuate, when suddenly their feet were empty, and they both fell at the same time.

'Woo——'

Fell into the water with a grunt and a burst of tinnitus. Suddenly they felt cold and piercing all around them, and the two of them had already broken free of their clenched hands and tried to struggle to surface. But the underwater pumping force is extremely strong, making it difficult for the two to control themselves. There was no time to pounce, and the green water brought them into the abyss in an instant. A whirlpool swept quickly, and the two of them disappeared......

In the blink of an eye, Ah Niu had been waiting outside the cave for an hour. The long coat filled with soup crumpled and crumpled against his body, wrapping his thin body, and he was very uncomfortable all over his body. He raised his right hand and brushed the rain off his face fiercely, not wanting the tears of the sky to obscure his vision. Staring intently at the magical hole: should I go in, or should I go back and ask for help?

On weekdays, in the mountains and wilderness, Ah Niu almost never comes. So I don't know how to go back? How to come back? If my parents find out that they are going out late at night, it will be difficult to explain to the second elder. But this ...... Anxiety, panic, and contradictions fill the heart. The six gods and no master were obviously helpless, so he sat down on the ground and cried secretly......

Enough of crying, he mustered up his courage and prepared to go back by himself. I thought: When they came, the three of them were companions, and they were brave to each other. I didn't feel that the mountains and forests in the dark night were so eerie and terrifying, but when I went back, I was the only one, I don't know if my courage has shrunk or the horror has been magnified. A sense of fear and despair crept through my heart. Creepy, he cried while carefully looking for a way out.......

I don't know when. Finally, after the rain, the sky was clear, and the oriental fish belly spit white. The mountain fog rises in the early morning. The natural 'Great Oxygen Bar' refreshes sentient beings. The birds stretched their muscles and rode up the branches, "chirping" and running to tell each other, as if they had discovered this embarrassed uninvited guest.

Ah Niu walked for nearly two hours and finally found his way home in the early morning. From here, smoke rises in the distance, as if home is just a stone's throw away. Usually I only think that the small village is unremarkable, but now I feel that the backcountry is also extremely beautiful. He was ecstatic, and despite his exhaustion, he struggled to close the distance between himself and home.

trotted all the way back home, glad that his parents did not get up, and hurriedly bathed and changed clothes. Pretending to have nothing to do, fooling around the day. In the evening, Wu Zhe's mother came to Ah Niu's house to ask about Wu Zhe's disappearance. The conversation between the parents of the two sides made Ah Niu very attentive......

"Ah Niu's mother, my Ah Zhe ...... yesterday Aren't you with Ah Niu?"

"No, Ah Niu came back from reading yesterday, and he did go out to play. But...... This morning, he left without even eating. I haven't heard he's with Ah Zhe......"

"Hey, Ah Niu is so sensible! It's not like my family Zhe'er, it really worries me! His sister accidentally suffered from dementia, and I, as a mother, can manage one, but I can't manage a pair of ......."

"Don't worry. As far as I can see, Ah Zhe is still quite sensible. If his biological father was here, he wouldn't be so profligate. He has seen that you have a hard time, and there is a sister who is suffering from a stubborn disease, so he doesn't talk about it! But the child has grown up, and it is inevitable that he will have his own ideas. I don't know where to play at a friend's house, and I'll come back when I've had enough......"

"Ah Niu's mother, I won't tell you, I really feel ashamed when I think of Ah Zhe! His sister is not too young, and she still can't be independent. I, a mother, can only spend more time on my sister, and I lack care for Ah Zhe. But back then, if I didn't remarry, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to support one of these two babies. My daughter is already like this, and if my son has any mistakes, I have been ...... all these years What kind of face are you looking at?"

"What? you man...... Are you still beating you now?" asked Ah Niu's mother with concern.

"No, no, no, he went home to work in the salt well, and he drank when he came home. Now, it doesn't seem to be enough to drink, and I don't care much about it. Besides, Ah Zhe has grown up, and he has also reined in. Maybe this is 'mother is more expensive than child'!"

"Well, isn't that good? I just don't want to see you wronged at home. Don't worry, I'll let my cow tell you as soon as he has news. ”

That night, Ah Niu took advantage of his parents' sleep and was concerned about the rescue mission. Although he was timid, he still mustered up the courage to patrol the mountains. Human life is a matter of urgency. Tonight, if you can't find them again, you have to give them all and let the adults figure out a way......

He snuck out of the house, twisted his hands and feet and came to the courtyard, took the woodcutter in the courtyard, found the dirty cloth he had taken off and hidden the previous night, tore it into strips, and wrapped it in a torch. Dipped in kerosene, carried flint, and went up the mountain...... I found the hole from memory. After looking around, crouch on the ground and light the fire with flint and steel.

"Click!click!click!click!" kept trying in an unfamiliar way. At night, the owl on the branch stared at the big bright eyes, and looked curiously at Ah Niu's "goo, goo, goo!!" to the sound of the flint and steel! Ah Niu took a deep breath and cautiously poked into the hole......

He held the torch and walked through the slit, suppressing his fear to the end. Looking down by the light of the fire, there is a pool of clear water surging under one zhang, with a diameter of more than ten zhang, and the depth is bottomless. There are gentle waves tumbling in the middle of the pool, like a living spring tumbling out of the pool.

"It seems...... They are more than lucky!" Thinking of this, Ah Niu shuddered. The former Fa Xiao suddenly left him like this, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. Blame for not being dissuaded in the first place. He muttered to himself and went back the way he came. Sneak into your room without a sound. Covered with a quilt and cried, crying until I was tired, and fell asleep......
