Chapter 21 Wake up

However, after one person and one pig waited for an hour, they didn't see any more fish, so they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

There should be only those two golden carps in the pool.

However, it seemed that the water quality was good for being able to raise such fat fish. Before leaving, Zhuzhu filled two large bottles of water and put them into the storage bag before continuing on her way.

The cave is very deep, and the road inside is winding and winding.

I don’t know how long they have been gone. Being in a claustrophobic environment without seeing any light for a long time, Zhuzhu became more and more irritable. Even Huahua also felt anxious.

"Be patient." Since the cave can be ventilated, it must be connected to the outside world. Zhuzhu believed that she would be able to go out. She gently stroked Huahua's head with her hand to express comfort.

They continued on their way, and after walking a few steps, Zhuzhu seemed to hear the sound of water flowing, and a light breeze blowing in their faces.

Zhuzhu was a little excited. There should be an exit not far ahead. She and Huahua couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Gradually they saw a glimmer of light, which was only a tiny bit in size at first. Even so, Zhuzhu was very happy.

Seeing the light is equivalent to seeing the hope of getting out, hoping that the place where the cave is connected is safe.

As we got closer to the entrance of the cave, the brighter light became brighter and more dazzling. After staying in the dark environment for too long, Zhuzhu's eyes were still a bit uncomfortable, so he didn't dare to go out too quickly. Instead, he waited for his eyes to adapt to some brightness.

Walk out slowly.

Outside is a vast grassland, the height of the grass is almost as high as a person's waist, surrounded by peaks dozens of feet high, making this place an almost closed valley that is inaccessible to people.

Judging by the height of the grass and the lack of trampling marks, you can deduce that no one or monster has been here for a long time.

Not far from the cave, there is a crystal clear stream, which is spring water flowing from the nearby mountains.

The sound of running water I heard before should be this small stream.

Zhuzhu saw several golden carp here again, and they looked fatter than the fish in the cave pool.

It turns out that the fish in the cave pool come from here, and the two fish should have swam to the cave pool through underground undercurrents.

After tasting the golden carp once, Zhuzhu and Huahua realized how precious and rare this fish was, probably even better than the rare Linggu and Lingmi.

Moreover, after taking it, not only did she have no side effects or sequelae, it also helped her eliminate many impurities from her body, which is the most rare thing.

However, they were not hungry yet and were not sure whether there were any unknown dangers lurking in the valley. Zhuzhu decided to explore the valley first before thinking about three meals a day.

Not far ahead is a peach forest. The strange thing is that half of the peach forest is peach trees that have already grown densely with peaches, and half of the peach forest is still blooming, attracting many butterflies and bees to dance on it.

Flowers and fruits together?

This strange sight opened Zhuzhu's eyes. Perhaps it is because of the unique geographical conditions here, or maybe it is because of the unique climate and other reasons that this strange landscape is created.

As a cultivator, Bai Zhuzhu, I never thought that these peach trees were mutated peach trees that would have such a strange phenomenon.

After walking along the peach grove for another two or three miles, Zhuzhu saw a thatched hut deep in the peach grove.

The hut looks very simple from the outside, with only two rooms in size. It seems to be in disrepair for many years. The thatch on the roof is much less and the beams have been exposed.

Does having a house mean someone lives in it?

Zhuzhu has some expectations. I wonder which senior is living in seclusion here?

However, she was a little unsure about the appearance of the thatched house. It was really because the house was so dilapidated and the roof was already exposed. How could anyone live here?

Maybe someone lived here before, but now, Zhuzhu has no illusions.

If there was really someone, she and Huahua had been here for so long, and the other party would not have missed the sound, and she was listening intently but did not hear any movement in the house.

Zhuzhu stepped forward and pushed the door open. The door swayed and fell to both sides with a creaking sound. There were two loud "bang~bang~" sounds and a cloud of dust flew up.

Zhuzhu:……

The door was broken on purpose, she didn't use much force at all!

She fanned the flying dust with her hands and walked into the house.

This room should be the original owner's bedroom, but the furnishings inside are very simple, with only a bed, a table and a wooden chair.

From these pieces of furniture, it can be seen that the original owner must have lived here alone, otherwise there would not be only one chair.

Because the house is simple, you can almost tell at a glance that except for a quilt on the bed, a man's coat draped on the chair, and a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, there is nothing else.

Even these things were covered with thick dust.

It can also be seen from this that no one has been here for a long time.

Zhuzhu was very disappointed. She looked at the table again without giving up and picked up the only piece of paper on the table besides pen and ink.

She gently wiped the dust layer with her hands. It took too long, and Zhuzhu was afraid that the paper would be ruined by the excessive force of her wipe and the weathering.

Fortunately, the paper was well preserved and of good quality. It was full of words, but there was no useful information for Zhuzhu.

There was only one woman's name repeatedly written on it - Feng Wanqing. The name was written dozens of times and took up an area of ​​​​a piece of paper. Not to mention that the person who wrote these words was very accomplished in calligraphy.

Every word is flowing, vigorous and powerful, and the last stroke of many words almost penetrates the paper and is printed on the back. Moreover, the colors of these words are also different shades. It seems that the original owner did not write it in one day, but at regular intervals.

once.

When writing the name for the last time, the original owner probably knew that he was leaving, or had other reasons to plan to write the name for the last time.

Before comparing each word, you no longer write it down in one go, but slowly trace it and write it down bit by bit, as if you want to carve these three words into your bones.

From these beads, it can be inferred that the original owner had deep feelings for Feng Wanqing, so much so that he was afraid that he would forget this woman while living alone in this wilderness mountain, so he had to write it down and describe it again and again.

He is truly an infatuated person.

But Zhuzhu was still very disappointed. She would rather have some useful information on the paper.

Just when she was about to put down the paper in her hand, she saw two verses on the back.

It’s just that the words on it are very small, and if I didn’t read them carefully, I would have thought they were ink dots from the words on the front smeared to the back.

"The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. There is no sunshine but there is sunshine."

It was only after Zhuzhu looked carefully that she could clearly see these two lines of poetry, and she was immediately stunned.

Isn't this a poem by Liu Yuxi, a poet from the Tang Dynasty in his previous life? Could it be that the owner of this house also came here by accident and is a 'fellow fellow' with her?

However, except for this piece of paper, there was nothing else that could refer to the identity of the owner. Zhuzhu walked out and opened the door of the second room.

This time she was cautious and quickly took two steps back after pushing the door open with her hand to avoid being drowned in dust again.

But this time, it was not as she expected. The two doors were very strong, and Zhuzhu did not push them open.

She didn't give up, so she used more force on her hands, but the two doors still stood firmly on the door frames, motionless.

Was it locked? Was it locked from the inside? Because there was no door lock on the outside.

But even if it is locked, it should be able to shake, but it turns out that the door seems to be sealed here, motionless.

Zhuzhu used all her strength to push the door, but it still didn't budge.

There was no other way. Even if the formation was really set up, she, a novice cultivator who knew nothing about it, would not be able to solve it at all, so she could only violently break in through the door.

Just when Zhuzhu was sighing into the palm of his hand and planning to go on a rampage, Ni Sitao, who had been unconscious for a day and night on Huahua's back, suddenly woke up.

"Where is this?"

Ni Sitao sat up and rubbed her forehead. Although Patriarch Ni's elixir saved her life, too much blood and essence was sucked away, making her a little dizzy.

"Yunwushan." Zhuzhu heard the voice and turned to look at her, "You're finally awake. When you wake up, get off Huahua's back as soon as possible. It's all stuck on you."

"Ni Sizhu?" Only then did Ni Sitao realize that she was actually on the back of Ni Sizhu's demon pet. So the person who saved her was actually the playboy she had always looked down on.

"Why, are you so surprised to see me that you can't accept it?" Zhuzhu raised her eyebrows. At this time, Ni Sitao couldn't find trouble, right?

"I just didn't expect you to save me." Ni Sitao looked complicated. They were obviously disgusted with each other, but in the end it was Ni Sitao who saved her life regardless of their previous grudges.

"Thank you!" Ni Sitao thanked her heartily.

It might not be easy to rescue her in that kind of environment. Even if I was prejudiced against Ni Sizhu before, I have to say that if I couldn't protect myself, I would never bring another burden, especially if this burden is still myself.

Disgusting people.

"Thank you. Now that it's ready, let's see if there's anything special about this door. I can't open it."
