Chapter Eighty-Three: Spring Blossoms
The next day, Lu Yunli got up early in the morning, the fire in the stove had already been extinguished, and the room was getting cold. Cutting some branches around the stone house, there are many big poplars here, and the snow is not very deep, Lu Yun walked out of half a mile after a while, picking up some good branches and cutting them down as he walked. Walking further, I saw a large snowdrift, and I thought to myself that this might also be a stone house. He ran to the front in three or two steps, and picked up the snow with his hands, but it was a wooden house.
When I found the door, the wooden house was not locked and was also tied with a deadbolt. I pulled out the bolt and went inside, but the layout was different from the stone house. In this room, the bluestone floor is also level, but it is very dirty, and the pots and bowls are placed everywhere, and there are already dried up scraps in the bowls. The bed was covered with a bunk, apparently not made up since I got up. The only thing neatly arranged in the room was a longbow and arrows on the wall. Lu Yunli took the longbow and tried to pull it away, thinking that his strength had improved a lot in the three years of Tianjue Mountain, but he couldn't pull this seemingly ordinary longbow. Hung the longbow on the wall, and tossed from side to side again, seeing a thick pile of paper scattered around the table, under the bed. Lu Yunli picked it up, but it was written, scribbled but vigorous, obviously the person who wrote was the owner of this house.
When I took out a few pieces of paper and looked outside, it read: June 12, after three hundred rounds, it is still difficult to distinguish the victory from the old ghost, and it was originally a trick to steal the sky, but he still saw through it, and there are always shortcomings in this trick. If he had replaced the false trick of stealing the sky with a domineering trick like Shengtian at that time, it should have been possible, but in this case, which trick he would use to connect with me, I will know if I try it tomorrow.
Underneath the text is a drawing of two people's moves, one with a sword and the other with a sword, and both of them have extremely subtle moves.
Look at another piece of paper, which reads: "September 28, after 300 rounds, the Sky Eclipse Sword Method has never been able to win, at that time, he has successively used the three moves of Batian, Huitian, and Heaven-shaking, all of which have been resolved by him one by one, if I use Shengtian, it will only force him to retreat, and he still can't win." Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the time for martial arts competition is running out. ”
Underneath the paper are three groups of paintings, one person making a sword, one person making a sword, and the moves are so exquisite. Lu Yunli said to himself: "This person looks at the chaos of life, calligraphy, painting, and knife skills are extremely exquisite. muttered in his mouth, but he heard Leng Baguio behind him shouting to himself, came back to his senses, looked, and saw her staggering towards him step by step.
Lu Yunli greeted her quickly, took her hand, and walked quickly to his newly discovered wooden house to show her the papers. Leng Baguio looked at it for a while, and immediately cheered and said, "These two people's moves are so exquisite, we can't get out here anyway, we can practice against each other." No matter what becomes of the rivers and lakes after we go out, we can protect ourselves with our own strength. ”
Lu Yunli also wanted to learn this exquisite and mysterious sword technique, and at this time, there were only two people at the bottom of the cliff, and there was no need to ask anyone for instructions. So the two immediately decided to learn this martial arts that fell from heaven. When I returned to the house, I sorted out the scattered papers, and carefully checked the room to see if there was anything usable, but I didn't find it.
The two of them plugged in the door bolt and walked back to the stone house quickly, although Lu Yunli was happy, he didn't forget to pick up branches and dry firewood all the way back. Leng Baguio roasted horse meat, Lu Yun left the door to cut down a tree, and spent a whole day cutting out a wooden knife and a wooden sword, this pair of swords looked very clumsy, but they were just similar.
It has been twenty-seven or eight days since he fell off the cliff, and the horse meat of the two horses has been almost eaten, so Lu Yunli began to use an axe to cut through the ice on the surface of the river, and used the hooks and fishing nets in the house to catch fish, at first there were only two or three harvests a day, and gradually studied and understood the use of fishing nets, and laid good fishing nets at night, and began to collect nets in the morning, and he could catch thirty or fifty a day, which was enough to eat for a day.
As long as the two of them have time, they will compare with each other according to the drawings on the paper, and Lu Yunli has the skills to make knives, so he can learn faster. Leng Baguio has never practiced swords, at first every move was studied with Lu Yunli, and then he can slowly understand it himself, but fortunately, this person's painting skills are very exquisite, which makes it clear at a glance.
Lu Yunli concentrated on studying the Sky Eclipse Sword Technique, and Leng Baguio concentrated on practicing the Sword Technique that he didn't know the name, and the two would fight each other for dozens of rounds every day. Leng Baguio's physical strength is slightly worse, but his internal strength is deep. Lu Yunli's physique is stronger, and his internal strength is not as deep as Leng Baguio. The sword's moves were so subtle that both of them were clever men, and within a month alone, they had memorized them by heart.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and all the moves could be sent and received proficiently, and the two of them could fight each other for two or three lilies every day. Leng Baguio's physical strength can gradually keep up. The weather was not as cold as before, and the snow and ice began to melt slowly.
Another month passed, and while the two of them were memorizing their respective sword moves, they also memorized each other's sword moves, Lu Yunli used a wooden sword to make sword moves, Leng Baguio made a knife to use the Sky Eclipse Knife Method, and the two exchanged weapons and moves.
The last date on these papers is recorded on October 17, and the handwriting is scribbled with a sense of depression, and it is written: I have been fighting with the old ghost for more than five months, and I have never been able to win him once, and my heart is haggard. This person gathers wisdom, and I think that my martial arts are outstanding, but I can't reach it. Now that the appointed date has come, he is gone, and I am the only one left at the bottom of the cliff.
At this time, it is March, the snow and ice have all melted, the spring flowers are blooming, and the river in front of the gate is very fast. Lu Yunli went out to explore the road every day but couldn't find a way out, the bottom of this mountain cliff only has a north and south direction, and there are cliffs on the left and right, no matter which direction is north and south, there is no place to go on the two-mile road. Looking at the stone cave where I lived before, it was soaked in water, and it turned out to be washed out by the river all year round.
Although Lu Yunli and Leng Baguio can swim, in this kind of rapids, it is useless to know how to swim. The two discussed making a small boat, but unfortunately they had no experience in making boats, so they could only grope to start.
Leng Baguio: "I once saw someone tie logs into a row and put them in the water very steadily. Fortunately, there are still a lot of trees here. ”
Lu Yunli cut down trees, cut off branches, and stacked logs side by side on the ground. Leng Baguio dismantled the fishing nets in the house into threads one by one, rolled five into one strand, tied to a log, and fixed them in alignment. The two of them worked like this for twenty days, and after many failures and repetitions, they made the raft well.
It was a sunny day, and the two decided to travel, Lu Yunli sent the paper with the sword moves back to its original place, and put the things in the house where he lived in order, and then left. There is a thick wooden stake by the river, first the raft is tied to the stake, and then the raft is pushed into the river, and the raft is one foot square, and it falls very steadily in the water. Lu Yunli and Leng Baguio each held a two-zhang long wooden stick to support the boat. Leng Baguio carried the Nine Heavens Demon Sound on his back, and Lu Yunli only carried some dried fish on his back, and half of the ink heart that had long lost its blade.
The two jumped on the raft and untied the rope tied to the stake, and the raft sped down the current at great speed. The two of them could only sit on it, unable to get up, and used wooden poles to support the boat as much as possible so as not to touch the cliff. There are also reefs in the water, but luckily the raft is sturdy, otherwise it would have been shattered. The two of them only floated seven or eight miles in the water, their whole bodies were soaked by the cold river water, and the pole in Leng Baguio's hand had long been lost, and his hands tightly grasped the picks reserved on the raft, not daring to let go at all. Lu Yunli also fixed his feet on the rope reserved for the raft, and constantly adjusted the direction with the strut, which was very difficult.
The water was sometimes rapid, sometimes slow, and it was always at the bottom of this cliff, and it could not get out. The two of them didn't know where the river could send them, everything was at the mercy of heaven. After wandering for four hours, Lu Yunli found that the cliffs on both sides were gradually getting shorter, and the river surface was gradually opening up and slow. At this time, the raft was close to the edge of breaking, some logs had been broken in two by the impact with the reef, and the ropes that bound the logs were about to break. Fortunately, the current is not fast, and there are no reefs.
Looking at Leng Baguio again, he was soaking wet, as if he had just been salvaged in the water. Leng Baguio saw Lu Yunli laughing at herself, and said, "You don't look at yourself, aren't you the same as a chicken in the soup." ”
How could Lu Yunli be spared, the river water on his body had already soaked his clothes. I immediately laughed at myself. The laughter of the two resounded through the valley, it was the laughter of a new life, and they had long forgotten the icy cold of the river.
The raft drifted down the current for an unknown number of miles, moving slowly forward, and the cliffs on both sides gradually became flat. Lu Yunli used the pole to prop the boat to the shore, and the feeling of stepping on the land again was so steady. The two of them pulled the raft ashore together, and by this time they were both exhausted and covered in the cold water.
Lu Yunli got up and went to cut some branches and came back, at this time, in spring, the trees were not so dry and should not be lit. It took a lot of effort to light the fire, and the fire kept emitting black smoke. Unable to care about this, the two took off their clothes, grilled them aside, snuggled together, and ate dried fish soaked in water, which was also much warmer.
This night, Leng Baguio lay in Lu Yunli's arms and slept very deeply, but Lu Yunli did not feel sleepy. I thought to myself: I have come to this complex and changeable world again, and countless people are intriguing with each other. Because of one person's ambition and **, I don't know how many people will accompany the funeral. Although the days at the bottom of the cliff are bitter and cold, they treat each other with Leng Baguio sincerely, and they are really happy. Lu Yunli had thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, and he felt sleepy unconsciously, he reached out and touched his clothes, which were already dry, so he covered Leng Baguio, and he fell asleep while he was sitting.
I don't know how long later, the sky was also bright, and the fire was long since extinguished. Lu Yunli was awakened by Leng Baguio in his arms, saw her get up and stood up, stretched her waist, and saw Lu Yunli looking at herself, her face suddenly turned red, and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lu Yunli: "Just now I thought that life at the bottom of the cliff in the past few months was a dream, but now it seems that the beauty is still there, and I am relieved." ”
Leng Baguio laughed out loud and said, "Say some crazy things." As he spoke, he looked around and asked, "Where are we?"
