A chatter falls from the sky

He found that there were actually many rare herbs hidden in this mountain that could only be seen in books before. For a doctor like him, it seemed like he had dug up a treasure.

Just like now, Xiao Xiaozhu gently put down the medicine basket, tiptoed behind a rock, swallowed excitedly, and stared at the grass in front of him. The gray ball of hair was swaying leisurely there. If it hadn't been for Xiao Xiaozhu accidentally seeing its exposed ears, Xiao Xiaozhu couldn't believe that this meat ball was the plum-blossom mink recorded in the book as the "sacred object of seeking medicine"!

Plum-blossom mink is named for the plum-blossom pattern on its left ear. Unlike normal mink, which likes meat, Meihua mink naturally likes to eat herbs, especially plants with strong medicinal properties. If trained properly, it will be of great use.

Although the one in front of me was somewhat different from the slender body described in the book, the markings were not wrong.

It would be great if we can establish a long-term friendly cooperative relationship with this mink.

Xiao Xiaozhu's hands gently picked up the stones, lest the sound would scare the little mink, but he might as well step on the stones with a click, the plum blossom mink's ears trembled, and the front paws grabbing the grass quickly fell to the ground, and they were dexterous in an instant fled to the mountains.

Xiao Xiaozhu raised his legs and chased after him. It was strange to say that the little mink seemed to be running away at first, but just when Xiao Xiaozhu was about to give up, he stopped and squatted on the tree trunk to look back, and continued to run after Xiao Xiaozhu caught up, as if While playing with Xiao Xiaozhu, Xiao Xiaozhu originally wanted to surrender peacefully, but now this situation is even more of an opportunity, so he leisurely ran and stopped with Xiao Diao, and saw Xiao Diao running up to a big tree in front of him, hugging with difficulty with four claws A tree trunk lay down and did not move.

So keeping fit is also very important in the animal kingdom.

Xiao Xiaozhu heaved a sigh of relief, pushed aside the grass in front of him and walked forward, raised his head and showed a safe and harmless smile to Xiao Diao: "Don't be afraid, Brother Xiao Diao, I just want to say hello to you... Ah~!"

A familiar feeling came from the ground under his feet, Xiao Xiaozhu instinctively turned back to grab the grass, but unfortunately he missed it, and his weightless body fell into the pit on his back with the mud screaming.

Xiao Xiaozhu's last consciousness was to see the little mink running to the edge of the pit, flicking his ears to look into the pit, and snorting a few times.

When I woke up again, it was already dark, and occasionally there were a few shrill hoots of owls.

Xiao Xiaozhu supported the wall of the pit and stood up. He moved his sore limbs with difficulty, but fortunately, he was still able to use them. This was all thanks to the rain in the past few days. The ground under him was very soft, and of course, it was also very wet.

When the hooting of the owl sounded again, Xiao Xiaozhu couldn't help shivering. After wearing it twice, although he didn't believe it, he still held a respectful attitude towards ghosts and gods. He couldn't wait for this situation. want to climb out of here.

The pit is about two meters high. Xiao Xiaozhu will be able to touch the edge of the pit by raising his hand. He tried to jump a few times, but the soil under his feet is too soft, and he will sink into it with a little force. He used his feet to push the pit again. The pit wall, trying to find a point of leverage, but the pit wall is too slippery, and it slipped down after a few pushes.After trying several methods repeatedly, Xiao Xiaozhu couldn't help shouting at the top of the pit:

"Yue Wenli..."

"Yue Wenli!"

The rough sound buzzed and echoed in the pit, and it was unknown how far it could travel.

Yue Wenli should have gone back by now, have you noticed that he is gone, will you come to him?Will not find him?

The chance of being rescued by Yue Wenli should be very small.

Xiao Xiaozhu kicked in frustration, the hard touch made him startled.

There seemed to be something in the muddy water.

He immediately squatted down and fumbled, and there were several palm-sized stones embedded in the muddy water up to his ankles.Xiao Xiaozhu dug out the stones three times, five times and two times, and used a sharp surface to dig a small hole on the wall of the pit, and embedded the stones in it.

The space inside the pit was cramped, Xiao Xiaozhu took a step back, stepped on the opposite stone with all his might, grabbed the edge of the pit with both hands and jumped up.

"Hey!"

The stone that was borrowed was stepped into the soil fiercely, Xiao Xiaozhu moved forward tightly holding the edge of the pit with both arms, and the whole person hung against the wall of the pit, but luckily he jumped up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and planned to climb out again.

"drink!!"

Under the dark night, in the rustling mountain wind, a pair of crystal clear and cold eyes were staring at him.

A bird chirped in the distance.

Xiao Xiaozhu was so frightened that his arm loosened and he almost didn't fall. Yue Wenli, who was squatting at the mouth of the pit, quickly grabbed his arm and pulled it up vigorously. Xiao Xiaozhu's magical skill was already carried out by Yue Wenli, and he hugged him subconsciously. Holding Yue Wenli's waist, lest he be thrown out.

Yue Wenli's arms held him tight, and his warm hands pressed against his cold back, which was very comfortable, but after Xiao Xiaozhu landed firmly on the ground, he quickly pushed him out.Xiao Xiaozhu staggered two steps back, swallowed hard and recovered his up and down mood, before he could say anything, Yue Wenli said coldly:

"Didn't I tell you not to run around?"

Xiao Xiaozhu knew that he shouldn't walk around, but he still couldn't help distinguishing a few words: "I originally picked some herbs that can help you strengthen your tendons, and I accidentally found a plum blossom mink. If you get this mink, you may have a chance." Finding many precious medicines is beneficial to you and me, so I got a little excited and forgot about the trap."

"It's good for you and me, plum-blossom mink?" Yue Wenli tilted his head with a strange expression on his face: "But the one that's very fleshy and has a plum blossom on its ear?"

"Exactly." Xiao Xiaozhu nodded: "Why, have you seen it before?"

"..." Yue Wenli pursed his lips, turned around and left.

"Hey, what's the problem? Also, you came to find me on purpose, how did you find it?" Xiao Xiaozhu hurriedly followed without noticing that they were heading in the opposite direction from the hut.

"I saw it was very meaty before, so I wanted to catch it and eat it." Yue Wenli ignored the last question, and said in a low voice while walking: "But it is too cunning, and I haven't caught it for a long time."

"...So, what is the pit I just fell into?"

"It grows a lot of grass that it likes to eat, so I dug a lot of holes here." Yue Wenli paused, turned around, raised his chin slightly and stared into Xiao Xiaozhu's eyes: "Is there any problem?"

"..." Xiao Xiaozhu looked forward speechlessly, his eyes shrank suddenly, he opened his mouth and said stiffly: "There is one. Can you tell me what is the one in front of you?"

Yue Wenli didn't turn around at all: "Grave, don't you know me?"

"So you brought me to visit the grave in the middle of the night?" Xiao Xiaozhu took two big steps back, thought for a while and then took a small step towards Yue Wenli's place: "Speaking of which, you dug in front of this ancestor's grave." Is it really good to have so many pits..."

"It's okay." Yue Wenli said, turned and walked two steps forward. Not far ahead, there was a lonely tomb. In front of the tomb stood a stone tablet. There were some writings on the tablet, which could not be seen clearly at night.

"I'm just doing it to feed my hunger. If I can persist until the day I go out, I've passed the test of Senior Su."

"Senior Su?"

"The person who rescued me from dying in the mountains six years ago and brought me here."

Yue Wenli would suddenly take the initiative to talk about the past. Xiao Xiaozhu was unprepared. Although he didn't know the reason, but it made him a little bit happy, he asked tentatively: "Six years ago, didn't you Only nine years old, why is he dying in the mountains, sick or injured?"

Yue Wenli turned his head and gave Xiao Xiaozhu a deep look: "I thought you would ask other questions first, such as Senior Su's identity, or... something else."

Xiao Xiaozhu was slightly stunned, but Yue Wenli didn't wait for his response, instead he replied in a negative way: "Because it has no use value and hinders other people's way, of course he will be kicked away, but if he kicks away, he will come back." It is impossible for them to be crushed. But they don't know that the crushed stones will fly over and they will be bruised."

Just like what the dumb woman said, Xiao Xiaozhu silently tightened the corners of his mouth.

"Senior Su wanted to live in seclusion here with his partner," Yue Wenli changed the subject, "However, while he was preparing for his life alone, his partner who was away was unfortunately poisoned, and Senior Su couldn't solve it with all his strength. So heartbroken, he returned here with his soon-to-be-deceased senior Jin, and picked me up along the way and brought them here, in order to help the two of them bury together."

"Two people??"

"Yes. This is the condition for Senior Su to save me. Although I am not born in the same place, but I seek the same acupoint. Not long after I recovered from my injury, Senior Jin died of illness, and Senior Su also died of love. At the bottom of this cliff, I am the only one left. "

His life was saved, but on the other hand, he had to endure the poverty and loneliness in the mountains, and the pain of hatred gnawing at his heart day and night.

Although Xiao Xiaozhu had been aware of it for a long time, but when he really heard Yue Wenli's narration with his own ears, he felt sore and agitated in his heart. But at this moment, he didn't want to show it too obviously, so he turned his head and said, "You said that this is where the senior lived in seclusion. Where there is an exit?"

"Did you just think of this?" Yue Wenli raised his arm and pointed upwards: "In the cave over there, there is a trap, and if you buckle the trap to open the hidden door, you can go out from the cave on the other side gone."

There are clusters of shadows in the forest at night, and the cave in the distance is not clear. Xiao Xiaozhu glanced at it for a while, then retracted his gaze, and asked casually, "So what is the way to open the mechanism?"

Yue Wenli didn't answer him right away, he looked at Xiao Xiaozhu carefully, and asked slowly after a while: "You child is so strange, why were you so excited when you mentioned me just now, but now you are so calm when you talk about the way to go out?" What about it? It was the same when you first came here, don’t you want to go out?”
