It was getting darker and darker, and soon it was completely dark, but the inside of the cave was getting brighter and brighter.

The silent three people by the fire sat like this, no one spoke again, and Xiaobai didn't know where the madness was, and he had long since disappeared.

Tang Zixi hugged his knees and silently looked at the constantly beating flames, the different shades of red, like the camellia in the small courtyard.

She remembers planting them in the yard.

At that time, Li Ling had just set out on the expedition, and there was no marriage contract from the Qin family to remind her from time to time how unfree life was, and she was still full of hope and expectation.

She watched them sprout, twig, bud, and blossom as she worked hard to germinate, prune, bud, and blossom, and she took care of them, vividly remembering the joy and emotion that each different moment brought her. But on the day the camellia bloomed, she finally made up her mind to leave the mansion where she had lived for more than ten years.

Looking at the flames now, she suddenly wanted to go back and see the flowers, to see if they were still as beautiful as ever, after all this time.

Missing is like the silk spit out by the spring silkworm, winding and surrounding her layer by root, layer by layer, and finally binding into a cocoon. Thoughts are more like stars in the sky, at first glance I don't think they are magnificent, but the more I look closely, the more I will feel that they are so dense and bright.

She sniffed lightly and buried her head deep between her knees.

This Miss Tang, who claimed to never go back, began to feel homesick.

Yes, she's homesick!

She misses her grandmother, her mother, her father, her brothers, her finch, everyone in the house, and even the green horse in the stable that she is always not allowed to ride.

"West—"

A somewhat obscure syllable sounded in her ears, and it didn't sound like Li Yu's voice.

Tang Zixi slowly raised his head and glanced around, and finally stopped his gaze on the big man who was also at a loss, and said with a slight suspicion: "You were talking just now?"

Li Yu, who was already dozing off, was awakened by the sound of talking, jumped up suddenly, raised a piece of firewood in his hand and shouted, "Who?"

Tang Zixi glanced at him dissatisfied, then put his eyes on the big man, and asked again, "Was it you just now?"

The big man seemed a little shy to be stared at by Miss Tang like this, thought about it seriously, then nodded and quickly twisted his head to the side.

Tang Zixi's eyes widened and widened, and he suddenly grabbed his arm and shouted, "Can you speak? Big man, it turns out that you can speak! Haha, great! Did you just call me?"

The big man was a little dizzy by her shaking and nodded again.

Tang Zixi was overjoyed and encouraged him: "You call again, call again, I want to hear it!"

The big man looked at Li Yu who came over, and immediately twisted, no matter how much Miss Tang encouraged, he just hung his head and didn't say a word.

"Tsk!" Li Yu also looked at the big man curiously, reached out and pulled his hair with an incredulous expression, "I don't see it, you are really a person." Anyway, I've been curious for a long time, how did you get this body hair?"

Tang Zixi was furious when he heard this, glared at Li Yu fiercely, and a few words popped out from between his teeth: "If you can't speak, stay there!"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows disappreciatively, and sneered: "I didn't talk to you again." ”

"You ......"

Tang Zixi was so choked that he couldn't speak, and his face suddenly turned red. She really didn't understand how this person could provoke her anger so easily.

Li Yu took over the conversation and said: "I, what's wrong with me? I come from a humble background, so I am naturally not worthy of talking to the daughter of a big family, and I am not told to stay away, let me shut up." Dare to ask Miss, are you going to order me to shut up next?"

Tang Zixi just wanted him to shut up, but he didn't expect him to say it first, and the words in her throat were suddenly stuck there, and she couldn't go up or down, so angry that her head was sweating.

"No...... Noisy!"

The big man saw that the two of them began to fight again, and he suddenly became anxious.

The two heard it clearly this time, and both set their eyes on the big man, and said in unison: "Not noisy?"

The big man was taken aback by their reaction, then understood and nodded quickly, pointed to the uneaten fish and said with difficulty: "Eat...... Gall bladder. After speaking, he looked at Tang Zixi expectantly.

What does that mean?

Tang Zixi didn't care about arguing with Li Yu, his mind was full of the word 'eat guts', the big man wouldn't say these two words for no reason, he must have wanted to tell her something.

"You mean, you eat the gall bladder of this fish to speak?"

Tang Zixi was still thinking about it here, and Li Yu had already blurted out over there.

The big man was so happy that he nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.

"What kind of fish is this?"

"No wonder you won't let go!"

"Why don't we jump down again and see if there's anything left."

......

Tang Zixi really couldn't believe it, when did the fish gall bladder still have this function? She didn't disturb the two who were chatting enthusiastically, but walked over to the fish and squatted down.

This fish is very strange, not only are the fins extremely hard, but also have two more fins on both sides, which looks like a pair of wings. The fish head part is even more peculiar, there are actually two bulging small bags, which are concave and convex to the touch, like a pair of small horns. The body of the fish has been dissected, and a pair of small fleshy claws hang to the side......

"Is this really a fish? Why does it look a bit like a dragon!" Li Yu didn't know when he also squatted beside her, looked at the fish body and said loudly, and then heard him sigh softly, "No, this is not a dragon, it looks more like a silverfish." ”

Tang Zixi was stunned and said, "What fish?"

"Silverfish!" Li Yu looked at the body of the half of the fish again, nodded and said: "It is recorded in ancient books that the silverfish, the body of the fish and the wings of the bird, the sound is like a mandarin duck, and when you see it, it is in the big water." Although I have never heard the call of a mandarin duck, I think the call of a bird is not much different, and it did make a bird-like call when it appeared before. But this is just my speculation, this ancient beast has long been extinct, and even if it is, it is just a variant of the silverfish. When I return to the palace, I will check it out, and there may be relevant records. ”

Tang Zixi nodded and stood up, turned his gaze to the big man, and said, "Big man, do you know how to get out?"

"Where are you going so late, let's leave tomorrow morning!" Li Yu also stood up, and hurriedly suggested when he heard Tang Zixi's words.

The big man nodded and pointed in the direction of the deep pool.

Tang Zixi glanced at the dark deep pool, took a deep breath and made up his mind: "Then let's go!"

The big man immediately got up and walked to the big wooden box, carried it over, and motioned for Tang Zixi to get in.

Tang Zixi glanced at the big man, shook his head and said, "I'll go down by myself." After speaking, she took out the last Chao Lu Xi Ying Dan from her bosom and swallowed it, she didn't forget the feeling of being frozen to stiffness by the pool water before, although this Chao Lu Xi Ying Dan is extremely cherished, but at this moment she needs it to save her life and can't take care of it, let it be used as a heart protection pill.

Although the big man didn't say anything, she didn't know how many injuries he had suffered, and the hair on his body also covered the wounds, but the strong smell of blood couldn't deceive people, how could she let him risk his life again.

Li Yu saw her running and jumping by the pool, and couldn't help but persuade: "Do you really want to go out now? There are whirlpools in this pool, and the light in the water is not good, so be careful not to be swept in...... Either let the big man carry you, or I'll carry it. Although you are a little heavier, I still have the strength to carry you......"

"Hey, are you serious?"

"Don't you remember when you were frozen into ice cubes?"

"Miss Tang!"

"Miss Tang?"

"Wild girl!"

"Boom!"

"Knock! knock!"
