Chapter 737: Dirt
The last time he entered the gourd well, he fell on the body of a wild beast, which means that the beast's back happened to lead through the gourd well, and when he fell from the well, he fell right on the beast's back.
The beast's entire body was firmly sunk into the ground, and where it met the ground there was a thick ridge of ice, and the beast was frozen on the ground.
And he used his fire-breathing skills to get rid of the beast.
Then a very great man jumped up, and the great man fell from above, and fell on the back of the beast, and the giant knew the beast, and said that he had come to find the beast.
Then the giant broke the chains that bound the beast and left Huluyu with the beast.
Zhao Zheng remembered what happened at that time, as for the origin of the giant and the monster, he remembered that Zhang Guangtai, who was also in the gourd well at the time, said to him: "It is said that after the Emperor of Heaven slaying the demon platform was opened, there were many demons and monsters in the world who were indulged, and listening to the words of the giant, it was not long after they were released, in my guess, they are also very likely to be the number of demons, and this time they reappear in the world, maybe it will cause many disasters." ”
Zhao Zheng remembered that the place where the beast was bound was a big pit, about seven or eight feet deep, and the bottom of the big pit was a flat and smooth iron plate, and the four corners of the iron plate were connected to the iron chains that had once tied the beasts, and the iron plates were about four feet square, and there were four small holes in the four corners, and those iron chains extended from the holes. There is handwriting printed on the iron plate, a corner, a total of four, this word is full of iron plates, perhaps the reason for the age, these four big characters are basically the same as the color of the iron plate, when you look at it freely and carefully, you can see the junction of the strokes of the font and the iron plate. Those words are crooked like ancient texts, and I don't know any of them.
In the middle of the four big characters, that is, the center of the entire iron plate, there is a slight concave, and a large circle is presented, about as big as the pot lid, but coincidentally, there is a ridge in the middle of the big circle, which is just grasped by hand, and it is clearly the shape of a pot lid.
Zhang Guangtai and he grabbed the long ridge with their hands, lifted it up vigorously, but they couldn't lift it at all, and tried to shake it from side to side, but unexpectedly, the big circle could shake from the right, and they turned hard together.
At this time, he grabbed the long ridge, exerted his strength, clenched his hands and gritted his teeth and turned to the right, only to hear the continuous sound of chilala, the big circle could really turn, and the two of them were overjoyed, and they used the strength of their whole bodies to double up.
As the sound of sneering and pulling continued to increase, the two of them worked harder, and twisted hard, and the big circle was unscrewed like a pot lid, but in the moment of unscrewing, the rumbling sound of water was heard inside, and then, a stream of water actually came out of it, and it flowed all over the pit at once, and the two were shocked, and hurriedly covered the big circle on the unscrewed position, but at this time the big circle was not as tight as before, and there was still water seeping out of the surrounding gaps.
But at this moment, with the infiltration of the current, several prawns also came here with the current.
And Zhang Guangtai decided that these prawns were shrimp nurses, so he ignored the flow of water and wanted to lift the lid.
The more Zhang Guangtai caught the shrimp, the more dissatisfied he was in his heart, the whole appearance at this time was extremely greedy, at that time he was talking about uncovering a little, so as to catch a few more prawns, it was really a little uncovered, he slightly lifted up a big circle, and the water below poured in, and there were many shrimp flowing in with the current.
Zhang Guangtai was overjoyed, and instead of covering the big circle, he uncovered it again. The water below flowed in even more, carrying more shrimp, and Zhang Guangtai laughed happily.
Looking at the shrimp that seemed to flow in endlessly, Zhang Guangtai seemed to see his own future, and after obtaining the endless shrimp shy, the dazzling future.
In the midst of laughter, he unexpectedly lifted the big circle again, and finally threw the lid of the big circle aside, allowing the water to flow out of it.
In the blink of an eye, the water flowed out endlessly, and the speed that flowed out was not very fast, but with the disappearance of the block, the water flow became faster and faster, and it became more and more rapid, and in the blink of an eye, a big water column was formed at the place of the big circle, and the water column was unstoppable, and the big rush came out.
Inside the water column are countless prawns.
Later, the two looked at each other, and it was no longer possible to cover the big circle at this time.
In an instant, the water flowed over the knees of the two men, and in a few moments, the water filled the entire gourd well.
Zhao Zheng remembered the scene at that time, and couldn't help but sigh that because of Zhang Guangtai's greed, the flood flooded the entire gourd well, and he almost lost his life.
Fortunately, in a daze, he met the old man in his dream, and entrusted his daughter Bao'er, that is, the shrimp sister, to himself, and promised to take care of his daughter for a year, at that time the old man also said that he would send someone to pick up his daughter after a year, although it is still a few days away from the year, but he is always worried about the situation of the shrimp girl, so he made a special trip to send it.
Zhao Zheng thought about these things and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
He led the donkey out of the bazaar, trying to find out where the beast was.
It is said that this place was flooded at that time, and even after a year, it should have been a flowing water, but now it is not like that, it is obviously man-made to repair the place, drain the water, and build this place like a market.
And when they first came down from the well in Huluyu, because of the lights here, people's attention would be attracted here, so that they would ignore other places in the gourd well, such as the place where water once leaked.
Zhao Zheng's head suddenly lit up, yes, he had to find that place, after all, it was from there that he met the old man in his dream and found the shrimp sister, maybe from there, he could find some clues again, even if he couldn't, he put the shrimp girl in from there, and let the shrimp sister swim home by himself, which can be regarded as sending the shrimp sister home.
Zhao Zheng thought about it, and walked out of the gate, and then everything around him dimmed, because the light came from the gate.
As he walked, he adjusted to the dim surroundings, and gradually, his eyes could see his surroundings clearly.
I saw that the gourd well was very vast, and the bazaar surrounded by the wooden door only occupied a small part of the gourd well.
Zhao Zheng was walking around, as if he was walking through a large garden.
He kept walking in with his senses, looking for the place where the monster had been restrained, and the more he went inside, the more humid he felt the air around him, and the ground gradually felt wet.
I saw that the ground around me was wet, and I could feel the coolness rising from the soles of my feet when I stepped on it, yes, this is the trace of a great flood here, and the market in the gourd well and the wooden gate just went down to this feeling, obviously it was treated.
Zhao Zheng was very happy in his heart, feeling that he was about to achieve his goal.
Then his feet were on the dirt, slippery and greasy, and he suddenly remembered something.
He thought that the last time he came here, the soil here could be eaten, and this news was also told to him by Zhang Guangtai.
Zhang Guangtai was also hungry at that time, and he really couldn't help it, so he grabbed the soil to suppress the hunger, but he didn't expect the soil here to be comfortable in the mouth, and he tried to chew it, and he could eat it.
Zhao Zheng thought of this, and immediately was very happy, hurriedly squatted down, dug a piece of soil on the spot and observed it close to his eyes, only to see that the soil here showed a dark red, except for the fact that it was a little wet because of the water, it was no different from what he had seen here before, and now, Zhao Zheng was more determined that this place was still the place before.
He touched the dirt with his lips, and found that the soil here did not smell of earth at all, so he carefully bit a little bit with his teeth and put it on his tongue to taste it slowly.
He was overjoyed, so he simply took a big bite, put it in his mouth and chewed it, the soil actually tasted like fried noodles, although it had no taste, but it was extremely refreshing, because the soil contained water, it didn't taste dry at all.
The more Zhao Zheng felt that this soil really tasted, if he said that he thought it was delicious because he was too hungry last time, he was not very hungry this time, and he felt that it had a different flavor when he ate it.
After he finished eating what he was holding, he dug another piece to eat, and the donkey saw that Zhao was digging and eating the soil, first puzzled, then puzzled, and then he even gave birth to Harazi, because Zhao Zheng's appearance was too fragrant.
Although the donkey is a beast, but not stupid at all, he saw that Zhao Zheng was eating, he sniffed and snorted, touching the soil on the ground, this soil did not have a little smell of earth, as if, there was a little bit of fragrant taste, the donkey couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick it, just like that, he had licked a large piece of soil into his mouth, it tried to chirp in his mouth, this soil can really be eaten, and it is really delicious.
So the donkey ate the dirt from his mouth in two bites, opened his mouth again, and chewed on the ground, which gradually evolved into gobbling up.
If there was a third person here, he would definitely be puzzled by the behavior of Zhao Zheng and the donkey, but there was no third person here, because that Li Si was still lying at the entrance of the gourd well, and there was still some distance from here.
Zhao Zheng ate for a while, and felt that his stomach was full, to be honest, he was not hungry originally, but he tasted the soil, but he didn't expect to taste a lot as soon as he tasted it.
Zhao Zheng stopped eating the dirt, and suddenly remembered something, this time he didn't think of finding the location of the beast, but thinking of the person he rescued in the gourd valley, he thought that the person was so weak, he should also give him some soil to eat.
He's always like that, always thinking of taking care of others, no matter who they are.
He had made up his mind, so he dug a piece of dirt on the ground, turned around and walked back, and when he reached the entrance of the gourd well, the man was still lying there quietly, and he was not lightly fallen, and until now he was still weak, and it could be said that his life was hanging by a thread.
Zhao Zheng walked over and shook the man, only to see that the man was still in a semi-unconscious state, when he fell down the stairs just now, he had already fainted, and now he slowly eased up, but there was still something wrong.
"Hey!"
Zhao Zheng whispered softly in his ear, shaking his head.
The man was shaken for a while, and opened his eyes slightly, but his eyes were dim, and he was really injured.
Zhao Zheng saw that he opened his eyes, afraid of disturbing him, and whispered, "I'll feed you something." ”
He was afraid that the man would not understand what he said about feeding the soil, so he said that he was eating something, but it was a little dark anyway, and he couldn't see what it was.
The man didn't have the strength to speak, and looked at Zhao Zheng with half-exposed eyes.
Zhao Zheng held the soil in one hand, pinched a small piece with the other, and slowly fed it to the man's mouth.
The man also cooperated with opening his mouth and slowly swallowed the things that Zhao Zheng had fed, because the soil melted in his mouth, and the man swallowed it without chewing much.
In this way, although Zhao Zheng only grabbed a handful of soil, he fed the man for more than an hour.
When the dirt in his hand was gone, he said, "You can sleep again." ”
He gently placed the man's head on the ground, and went to find the place to bind the beast again.
That person Li Si ate the soil, still lying down weakly, but the soil slowly took effect in his body, those soil has been born in this gourd well for a long, long time, and can be eaten, since it is not ordinary soil, although it has no special function, but it has absorbed the aura of the mountains and rivers for a long time, and it is also incomparable to ordinary soil.
With the help of the soil, his weakness was filled up little by little, slowly, he was much more conscious, opened his eyes again, this time there was a lot of energy in his eyes than just now, he stayed blindly for a few moments, and slowly felt that his body was much more comfortable, and the physical pain did not feel much pain, his body suddenly changed so much, he was very strange, he thought about it hard, remembered what the man had fed him just now, could it be a miracle medicine?
He thought about it, got stronger and stronger, and lay down for a while, feeling that he could move while lying down, he tried to sit up one at a time, but unexpectedly, he really sat up without effort, and after doing it, he rested a little, and slowly tried to stand up, and very smoothly, he stood up.
At this time, he was even more convinced that the man just now had fed him a miracle medicine.
"I should have eaten some more. ”
He had this idea in his head first.
But the gourd well was dark, and now he couldn't see anything, and coupled with his weak body, he couldn't determine Zhao Zheng's location.
At this moment, he heard some sounds, obviously, it was the sound made by Zhao Zheng's movements, so he was quiet, determined the source of the sound, and slowly paced towards the place where the sound came from without hesitation.
