Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 1042 That pair of ivory fish (four more)

It lay on the ground, struggled twice, and stopped moving.

A pool of scarlet liquid slowly spread over it...

"Qing'er, are you alright?"

Luo Fengtang ran over, dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, and supported her shoulders with both hands.

A pair of shoulders looked up and down nervously.

Yang Ruoqing laughed nonchalantly: "Joke, how could something happen to me? Sister, I'm meeting gods, killing gods, meeting Buddhas and cutting Buddhas!"

Luo Fengtang looked helpless: "You girl, you are so thrilling just now, do you know that?"

Especially the scene where she slid towards the leopard made him break out in cold sweat.

"Hey, don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure about!" she said.

Luo Fengtang nodded and grabbed her hand tightly.

"What about this leopard?" She raised her chin towards the dead leopard on the ground and asked.

Luo Fengtang said: "No, this Chinese New Year, I don't want to bring this dead thing back to the village."

"Okay, then let's continue on our way, to the cave that Old Man Yan mentioned." She said.

"Well, come with me!"

The two of them passed through the mountains, and finally came to the entrance of a cave.

The entrance of 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 were intertwined, thicker than an adult's arm, and hung down to the bottom.

"Qing'er, stand up there and wait, I'll go down and look for something." Luo Fengtang said.

Yang Ruoqing glanced down, eager to try.

"I also want to go down and have a look, maybe I can enter the Water Curtain Cave!" 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 awesome!"

Luo Fengtang knew he couldn't hold her back, so he had to let her down.

The two of them grabbed the vines and fell all the way, and then the vines shook.

The two of them seemed to be swinging on a swing, and they really swung into a hole.

After standing firm, Yang Ruoqing raised her head.

"Wow, I've been back and forth so many times, I didn't even know there was such a good place hidden in this mountain!"

She was very surprised, and walked towards the inside of the cave.

"Don't have a hole in the sky, don't have a hole in the sky!"

As he looked at it, his eyes lit up.

Outside is a bleak winter scene and climate, but in this cave, it looks like spring.

The entrance of the cave is not big, but the further you go inside, the deeper and wider it becomes.

There are flowers, grass and water.

There are many small bushes half a person's height bearing some wild fruits that she can't name.

Red and black, really cute.

Luo Fengtang followed, and was surprised to see the cave.

"Why is the inside of this cave different from the outside? It's winter outside, but spring and autumn here." He said.

Yang Ruoqing pursed her lips and smiled, this should be caused by the microclimate.

"Let's treat this as a fairy cave, look for things first, and enjoy the beautiful scenery later." She ordered.

"okay!"

He responded and stepped forward.

According to the clues provided by Yan Huaian, the great-grandmother hid her things under the largest stone in the cave.

The two circled around the cave for a while, compared many stones, and finally locked on to the target.

"Just the one in front!"

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and pointed.

The two of them walked over quickly. The big rock was really big, and it was placed in the corner of the stone wall.

The stone was covered with moss, and weeds grew on the side.

It's very hidden, and most people who stumbled into this cave by mistake would never think of anything hidden behind this rock.

"Qing'er, get out of the way, I'll come!"

Luo Fengtang pulled aside Yang Ruoqing, who was eager to try, and rolled up his sleeves.

Then he moved the stone away a little,
Yang Ruoqing had sharp eyes and quick hands, reached out and pulled a bundle out of it.

"There really is something!" she said happily.

The two 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 off.

Inside is a wooden box, with a faint scent of rosin.

"This box is made of pear blossom wood, which is moisture-proof and insect-proof, and the rosin can keep it dry." Luo Fengtang said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, then 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 pair of ivory fish in front of her eyes and looked carefully, and found that there were some characters engraved on the fish that she couldn't understand.

Probably the script of the tribe where my grandmother lived?

she thought to herself.

"Look, Qing'er, there's a piece of paper under here."

Luo Fengtang's voice brought her back from her thoughts.

She carefully pulled out the paper from the crack of the box, and spread it out.

What caught the eye was the scarlet scrawled font.

Some places are thick, some places are thin, obviously written in a very hasty situation.

The faint smell of blood has not dissipated even after decades.

"Oh my god, my stomach full of ink is now in vain."

Yang Ruoqing looked at the densely written blood book in her hand and was dumbfounded.

It's all written in ethnic minority characters that she can't understand, just like the one on the ivory fish.

Luo Fengtang also scratched his head, anxiously.

"It's okay, it's okay, we don't recognize it, Yan Huai'an will definitely recognize it, show it to him later." He said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "That's the only way to go."

"When will you go back?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Yang Ruoqing looked around: "I'm a little thirsty, let's go back after drinking some water and sitting down for a while, my mother told us to go back early for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Luo Fengtang looked 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 will pick some for you to quench your thirst."

"Well, good!"

Yang Ruoqing happily responded, then buried her head and continued to study the 'Book with Words' in her hand.

Luo Fengtang got up and went over there to pick wild fruits.

Soon, he came back, holding a lot of wild fruits in his broad palms.

"Wow, there are so many, the colorful green is so beautiful!"

Yang Ruoqing's eyes lit up immediately, these wild fruits are fresh, tender and juicy.

Seductive to die for.

"It's all washed, let's eat." Luo Fengtang said.

He stuffed the wild fruit in her hand into her hand.

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Oh, I'm not a pig, I can't eat that much..."

"If you can't eat it, take it home and eat slowly..." he said.

"No more, help me to eat!"

She said, and gave him half of it casually.

The two sat facing each other and ate the wild fruit.

While eating, she held up the ivory fish and looked at it, thinking about the meaning of these ethnic minorities making this thing...

After a while, it dawned on her that she had been talking to herself the whole time.

Luo Fengtang was able to respond before, but then gradually fell silent.

She was startled, and then turned her gaze to him who was sitting opposite.

Only then did he realize that he had turned around and turned his back to her.
