Chapter 1042: The ivory fish (fourth update)
It lay on the ground, struggled twice, and then stopped moving.
A pool of scarlet liquid slowly spread over its body...
"Qing'er, are you okay?"
Luo Fengtang ran over, throwing He took down the bow and arrow in his hand and held her shoulders with both hands.
A pair of shoulders looked up and down nervously.
Yang Ruoqing laughed nonchalantly: "What a joke, how could something happen to me? Sister, I have met gods and killed gods, met Buddhas and killed Buddhas!"
Luo Fengtang looked helpless: "You girl, you were in such danger just now, do you know?"
Especially the scene where she slid towards the leopard, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hey, don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about!" she said.
Luo Fengtang nodded and held her hand tightly.
"What should I do with this leopard?" she asked, raising her chin towards the dead leopard on the ground.
Luo Fengtang said: "No, I don't want to bring this dead thing back to the village during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, let's continue on our way to the cave that Uncle Yan mentioned." she said.
“Well, come with me!”
The two people crossed the mountains and finally came to the entrance of a cave.
The entrance to the cave is really hidden, stuck in the middle of a steep cliff that looks like a mirror.
On the cliff, thick vines hang down.
Those vines are intertwined together, thicker than an adult's arm, and hang down to the bottom.
"Qing'er, stand up and wait while I go down to find something." Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing glanced down, eager to try.
“I also want to go down and take a look, maybe I can even enter the water curtain caves!” she said.
Luo Fengtang said: "It's too steep..."
"It's okay, there are so many vines, it's like a ladder. Besides, my skills are very good!"
< br>Luo Fengtang knew that he couldn't defeat her, so he had no choice but to let her down.
The two people grabbed the vine and fell all the way down. Then, the vine swayed.
The two people were like swings, and they actually swung into a hole.
After standing firm, Yang Ruoqing raised her head.
“Wow, after so many trips back and forth, I didn’t even know there was such a good place hidden in this mountain!”
She was so surprised that she walked towards the cave. .
"There is no such thing as a cave, there is no such thing as a cave!"
While looking at it, his eyes lit up.
Outside is a bleak winter scene and climate, but in this cave, it feels like spring.
The entrance of the cave is not big, but the deeper you go inside, the deeper and wider it becomes.
There are flowers, grass and water.
There were many small bushes half as tall as a man, bearing some wild fruits that she couldn't name.
Red and black, really cute.
Luo Fengtang followed and was surprised to see the cave.
"Why is this cave different from the outside? It's winter outside, but spring and autumn are here." He said.
Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled. This should be due to the microclimate.
"Let's just treat this as a fairy cave. We'll look for things first and then enjoy the beautiful scenery later." She ordered.
“Well, okay!”
He responded and stepped forward.
According to the clues provided by Yan Huaian, my great-grandmother hid something under the largest stone in the cave.
The two people walked around the cave for a while and after comparing many stones, they finally locked the target.
"It's the one in front!"
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and pointed.
The two people walked over quickly. This big stone was really big. It was placed in the corner of the stone wall.
The stone is covered with moss and the edges are covered with weeds.
It is very hidden. Most people who stumble into this cave by mistake would never imagine that there is something hidden behind this stone. "Qing'er, get out of the way, I'll come!"
Luo Fengtang pulled the eager Yang Ruoqing aside and rolled up his sleeves.
Then, he moved the stone away a little.
Yang Ruoqing, with quick eyes and quick hands, reached out and pulled out a bundle roll.
"There really is something!" she said happily.
The two people came to the side, sat down cross-legged, and Yang Ruoqing opened the package.
For decades, the outside of the package has been stained with a thick layer of dust, brush it off.
There is a wooden box inside, and the faint smell of rosin comes to your nostrils.
“This box is made of pear wood, which is moisture-proof and insect-proof, and the rosin can keep it dry.” Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded and opened the box.
Inside the box, a pair of fish made of ivory was wrapped in a piece of red satin cloth.
Yang Ruoqin put the ivory fish in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, and found that there were several words engraved on the fish that she could not understand.
Maybe it’s the writing of the tribe where my grandmother is from, right?
She thought to herself.
“Look, Qing’er, there is something underneath.”
Luo Fengtang's voice brought her back from her thoughts.
She carefully pulled out the piece of paper from the crack of the box, and then spread it out.
What leaps into view is the scarlet-scrawled font.
Some places are thick and some are thin. It was obviously written in an extremely hasty situation.
The faint smell of blood has not dissipated even after decades.
"Oh my God, all the ink I drank was in vain."
Yang Ruoqing was dumbfounded when she looked at the densely written book in blood.
It was all written in ethnic minorities that she couldn’t understand, just like the one on the ivory fish.
Luo Fengtang also scratched his head, worried.
"It's okay, it's okay, we don't recognize it, Yan Huaian must recognize it, go back and show it to him." He said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "This is the only way."
"When will you go back?" Luo Fengtang asked.
Yang Ruoqing looked around: "I'm a little thirsty. Let's drink some water and sit for a while before we go back. My mother also told us to go back early for the New Year's Eve dinner!"
Luo Fengtang glanced at Looking around: "The water is raw, and my stomach hurts after drinking it. When I came here just now, I saw a lot of wild fruits over there. I went to pick some for you to quench your thirst."
"Well, okay!"
Yang Ruoqing responded cheerfully, lowered her head and continued to study the 'scripted heavenly book' in her hand.
Luo Fengtang got up and went over there to pick wild fruits.
Soon, he came back, holding many wild fruits in his broad palms.
"Wow, there are so many, the colorful green colors are so beautiful!"
Yang Ruoqing's eyes suddenly lit up. These wild fruits are fresh, tender and juicy.
So tempting.
“It’s all washed, let’s eat.” Luo Fengtang said.
He stuffed all the wild fruits into her hands.
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Oh, I'm not a pig, I can't eat that much..."
"If you can't eat it, take it back and eat it slowly..." he said.
"I won't bring it anymore. You can help me eat some!"
She said, casually pulling out half of it and giving it to him.
Two people sat facing each other and ate wild fruits.
While eating, she also held up the ivory fish and looked at it, wondering about the meaning of these ethnic minorities doing this thing...
After a while, she suddenly realized that it had always been She was talking to herself alone.
Luo Fengtang could still respond before, but then gradually became silent.
She was surprised for a moment, then turned her eyes to him sitting opposite.
It was then discovered that he had turned around and turned his back to her.
