Chapter 3 Outside the Mountain, Qingshan Building, Outer Building
So, everyone started to get busy.
The original deflated energy had long been thrown out of the clouds, as if he was looking for a peerless treasure, and he became excited. Even the girls, who never did manual work, began to lift stones.
After a while, the stones were cleared by everyone. A stone gate appeared in front of everyone, and the children invariably surrounded it, but squeezed the cow baby behind them.
Wow, everyone let out a sigh of admiration.
Wen Peng was also very excited, and couldn't help but ask loudly: "Niu Wa, how do you get in?"
Niu Wa looked at everyone and became angry again: "You didn't believe me just now." Niu Wa said as she walked to the stone gate from behind.
There was a protruding tiger head on the stone door, and Niu Wa stood on tiptoe, put her hand in, pulled hard, and then quickly retracted her hand. I saw the stone gate, which slowly rose up from the bottom. It turns out that there is a mechanism inside.
The mountain gate opened, and a cool breeze blew inside. Everyone was excited and a little nervous. The girl hurriedly stepped back, but couldn't help but be driven by curiosity, and poked her head into the look.
The light inside was a little dim, and I couldn't see it clearly, but it felt like it was dark. The boys were bolder and wanted to go inside.
Niu Wa hurriedly grabbed everyone. "Wait, let's make some torches before we go in. He fetched two stones from his side, and they hurried to find dry branches, leaves, and the like, and the sparks from the stones spread between the hay and the branches.
After a while, everyone took a torch and followed Niu Wa into the cave.
Walking slowly down the steps, the inside gradually became clearer. Descending the stone steps, Niu Wa took a few steps forward and placed the torch on top of a stone statue, and after a while, the stone statue began to burn.
If you look closely, it's a chubby, doll-like stone statue. The stone statue is carved lifelike, with a smile on his face, even the eyebrows that are crooked are carved so festively, and the belly pocket he wears, and on his chubby little hands, he drags a stone bowl, like the shape of a lotus flower.
Niu Wa walked to the opposite side and lit another oil lamp. Suddenly, the stone cave lit up.
Behind the lampholder, there are two stone tables on the left and right, the stone tables are not high, and there are cushions underneath, probably old, those cushions, the table has long been covered with dust and cobwebs.
In front of the stone table is a nine-story staircase, and above the steps is a wide and large stone table, and behind the large stone table there is a Taishi chair. The chair is made of stone, giving it a sense of richness and majesty. There are also dragon heads carved on the two armrests of the chair, and a white tiger skin is on the back of the chair.
On the wall behind the seat is a landscape painting.
Several cranes fly in the blue sky and white clouds, and below them are beautiful scenery of rivers and mountains. The green mountains are continuous, the big river flows eastward, the clouds and mountains are foggy and the sea, there is a hut, there are two children playing at the door, and there are two figures in the distance of the mountain, as if walking in the mountains, as if walking between heaven and earth.
The whole painting is majestic, the leisure is overflowing, and the ethereal and open-minded feelings are even more vivid. Curiously, this painting is the only place in the cave that is not stained with dust.
Wen Peng was very strange, and even went closer to observe, only to see the top of the painting, impressively inscribed: The rivers and mountains are picturesque. There is no inscription, and there is no embellishment such as poetry.
Niu Wa looked at everyone stunned, especially Wen Peng staring at the painting, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yuwa, do you think this painting is very valuable?
Everyone was originally curious and nervous, but they were amused by Niu Wa's words.
Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Niu Wazi, that's all you have in your life." “
Everyone agreed, and Niu Wa blushed.
"Did I say something wrong?" Niu Wa looked aggrieved, he didn't know why everyone was laughing at him, which made him a little angry, and even regretted bringing them here to play.
Wen Peng looked at Niu Wa's embarrassed appearance, and hurriedly said: "Everyone is not laughing at you, it is that you can't do without your big cow, and you have to take the cow with you for everything." No wonder your name is Niu Wa. “
Niu Wa understood, "Alas, what can I do." Ever since I was growing up, my parents let me herd cattle. I can only tell my cows about anything. It's been a long time, and I don't think about it every day. Niu Wa's tone seemed to be very vicissitudes, and everyone couldn't help laughing, and the louder they laughed, the louder they laughed.
Wen Peng said: "This painting is worthless, there is no payment on it, let alone a poem, just an ordinary painting, like a casual work." "Wen Peng is worried that everyone will come uninvited like this and take away other people's things, so that the master will know that everyone will have a reputation as a thief.
Xiang'er looked at Wen Peng's serious appearance, laughed out loud, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and then said seriously: "Niu Wa, the fish lied to you, this painting is the most valuable." Sell it for a cattle farm. Look, how big this painting is, hurry up and take it home, take it home and your parents will be able to marry you a cow daughter-in-law and give birth to a bunch of cow babies. After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh.
"It's pretty big. I still don't believe you, you're playing tricks on me. Niu Wa shook her head and looked up at the giant painting again.
The pillar said, "Everyone, don't make trouble, let's see what else is interesting." ”
Xiaoshi said timidly: "Why do I think this place is very gloomy, everyone should not run around, let's go back after we have a play here." I've heard from adults that there are a lot of places where they specialize in stealing children and selling them. Then, turn them into places like this. "Little Stone's words scared the girl.
"Stone, don't talk nonsense. You see that there is dust in a lot of places on it, which means that no one has been to this place except us. When we came just now, there were no footprints on the road. It shows that few people come to this island. Wen Peng's words made everyone feel safe.
"Niu Wa, tell everyone, how did you find this place?" Wen Peng became curious, such a secret place, even adults have never been here.
Niu Wa couldn't resist everyone's urging, so she hurriedly spoke. It turned out that since Wen Peng started to study in the school, the children did not play together, and a few of them were still studying with Wen Peng in the school.
Niu Wa faces Niu Er every day, annoyed to death, and wants to go to the school to study. His father didn't agree, saying that it was useless to study, and he would be hungry when he grew up.
Niu Wa didn't listen, and in a fit of anger, ran out, just when Li Bo went out fishing. So, he begged Li Bo to take him out to play.
Li Bo couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Niu Wa, he also let go of Niu when he was a child, and naturally knew that reading would be profitable, and at that time they had to go to the city to study, and only the children of rich people could afford to go to school.
Now Yuwa's mother invited her husband to their village and set up a school, so it doesn't cost money, what a good opportunity.
Li Bo naturally didn't want to say it clearly, he said that he would take Niu Wa to fish with the boat, and go back to his house with him to intercede.
When passing by here, Niu Wa was a little curious, so she begged Li Bo to let him play here and wait for him to come back here.
It turns out that the fishery resources near this island are abundant, and only a few fishermen know about several nearby villages, and Li Bo is also one of them, and he rarely comes here for fear that others will know. They only come once or twice a month. They also went up and walked around this island, and there was nothing unusual about it.
So, he let Niu Wa stay here, and when he left, he repeatedly warned him not to run around, and to come back in the evening to pick him up.
Who knows, Niu Wa has nothing to do, so he wanders around the island, and this stone cave was discovered by him accidentally. At first, he was a little scared, but he walked around in it, nothing terrible happened, and he fell asleep when he was tired of playing alone.
When I woke up, the sun was about to set. He hurriedly smeared and came out of the hole. When I came out, I was afraid that others would find out, so I deliberately covered it with weeds, but there was a taste of three hundred taels of silver here. When Wen Peng listened to it, he couldn't help but think of this sentence.
Niu Wa rushed to the shore, and Li Bo's boat was about to row away. Li Bo is going crazy, and he can't see Niu Wa, how can he explain to the adults this time. I deliberately walked around the island, but I didn't find Niu Wa, and I thought Niu Wa was taken back by the fishermen who passed by. I just thought about going home to see, but did I get home?
Fortunately, Niu Wa came back in time, otherwise, Niu Wa would have been frozen and starved at night.
When he got home, he learned that his parents didn't go to him, and Li Bo said some good things and persuaded his parents to let him go to school, and when the child was older, at least he should know how to write his name. Niuwa's parents thought about it reasonably, so they agreed. Just happened to meet Mr. back to the city, and his parents promised him to sign him up when he came back.
After listening, everyone laughed, and the bullfrog looked embarrassed. Wen Peng said, let's look inside and see what else is interesting inside. So, a group of people walked around inside with torches.
