Chapter 273
As if a long time had passed, and as if it was just a moment, Mengmeng suddenly opened her eyes.
There was still water in her eyes, and she was awakened by the enlarged handsome face in front of her. She hurriedly raised her body, only to realize that she was being hugged by Brother Rui, with her head resting on his shoulder, The pose is very ambiguous.
Mengmeng’s face flushed, and she struggled to get down.
Brother Rui let go of his hand as if nothing had happened, and heard Mengmeng ask him, “How long have I slept?”
“It won’t be long, just a while.” Brother Rui smiled at her and said, “You were drunk just now, do you remember?”
“Really?” Mengmeng was a little confused, she tried hard to recall, but she could only remember the scene where she was drinking and eating meat just now. As for what happened later, she couldn’t remember at all.
Brother Rui told her: “You were drunk just now, you were pestering me to teach me a lesson, and you hugged me and didn’t let go, and then you fell asleep.”
Every time Mengmeng heard him say a word, the blush on her cheeks deepened, and she was screaming in her heart: ah ah ah, she actually did such a thing, is this true, really, really ?
She looked at Huzi and them with suspicious eyes, and asked aloud, “Huzi, did you just see it?”
Brother Rui squinted at Hu Zi and the others, and his eyes clearly conveyed: Xiao Xian, dare to expose me, I will…
Before he released the threat, Hu Zi shook his head wisely and walked forward.
Mengmeng followed it closely, she was too embarrassed to stay here, and she had slept for so long and her legs were a little sore, so she just took advantage of this opportunity to move around.
Unexpectedly, Brother Rui also followed. He saw Mengmeng’s shyness, so he didn’t want to tease her again, so he just followed behind with a smile.
“Hey, there’s a cave there.”
Mengmeng walked to the side of the waterfall and immediately found a cave hidden behind it.
The closer she got, the bigger the hole, and the giant gap cracked into an arch, relying on the mountain behind it, as if the beast had opened its mouth.
When the tiger arrived here, he was very nervous. It suddenly arched its back high, and the hair on its body stood up. It roared furiously at the depths of the cave. Circling, getting louder and louder, so that the water splashed.
Impossible, Huzi’s voice can’t have this effect.
Mengmeng hurried to look at the water flower. She was surprised to find that there were a large number of dragon scale fish hidden in the water. Huzi disturbed them, but Mengmeng hadn’t found it yet.
“There are so many dragon scale fish, doesn’t it mean that there are very few such fish?” Mengmeng exclaimed.
Although she was born and raised here, she had never seen so many dragon scale fish gathered together at the same time.
People in their village said that this kind of fish grows in the deep underground river, and it is impossible to catch it at ordinary times. Only when they grow up and run out, the villagers can try their luck.
“This should be where they grow.” Brother Rui guessed.
He estimated that there must be at least tens of thousands of these fish. Going forward, there is still a bright silver light on the dark bottom. I am afraid that there are more than 10,000 fish, but the old nest of the dragon scale fish is here.
“Wow, that’s too much.” Mengmeng also saw the movement in the water.
This discovery drove away the last trace of drowsiness she had, and she was instantly refreshed and followed the fish into the cave.
Brother Rui was worried about the danger, so he quickly followed. Hu Zi was too late to stop him. A complex humanized look flashed through his golden eyes, and he followed with a sigh.
This hole is particularly large, and compared to it, Mengmeng’s body is extraordinarily small, like a speck of dust.
She walked carefully, because the ground was full of rubble, which had become round and smooth after being washed by running water for a long time, and she would trip over them if she was not careful.
On the side beside her is a quiet underground river. The dragon scale fish have dived into the bottom of the water just now and are nowhere to be seen, but as long as Mengmeng throws a stone in it, they will run out again. .
Through the light from the top of the cave, she saw the whole picture of the cave.
It is a huge arched passage, with a dark river flowing in the middle. On the left side is the place where Mengmeng stands, slightly higher than the river surface, and it looks a little unsafe.
Brother Rui reminded her, “We’ve never been to this cave before. We don’t know when the tide will be high. If we wait a while… Mengmeng, we’d better go back.”
Mengmeng nodded. Growing up by the sea since she was a child, she has seen the power of tides countless times. Sometimes the seemingly calm beach will turn into an ocean in an instant as long as the tide comes. If you can’t avoid it, people will be washed away. That kind of power is simply unstoppable.
She turned around and was about to follow Brother Rui out, but at this moment, her body suddenly stopped.
“Come, come, come…” She heard the call.
The voice was so mysterious, as if she had heard it somewhere.
Mengmeng’s heart thumped, and almost immediately followed the sound and ran to the depths of the cave.
“Mengmeng!” Brother Rui reached out to grab her, but it was too late, so he quickly ran after her.
When he stopped, he saw Mengmeng squatting on the ground in front of him, holding a stone-like thing in his hand.
“What is this?” he crouched down.
“I don’t know, it looks like a stone.” Mengmeng said vaguely, only she understood that it was the bone of a real dragon.
The perception surged in her head, too fast to catch her off guard.
Mengmeng touched this bone, very comfortable and kind, but the calling sound just now disappeared.
The cave was very dark, and she couldn’t see clearly even if she wanted to study, so she packed the bone tightly, stood up and said, “Come on, let’s go back, or it will be bad when the tide comes.”
As long as she was willing to go back, Brother Rui would be Amitabha, and he quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the cave.
The two returned to the camp to see that it was getting late, so they packed up and went home.
When Mengmeng returned home, the first thing she did was to store the bone in the study. She also sat down and prepared to study the bone.
This bone is only the size of a fist, its color is snow-white and moist, and it has a faint jade light. Even if thousands of years have passed, it still maintains its original appearance, with several bone spurs extending in different directions, with distinct edges and corners.
Mengmeng took out the magnifying glass, put it under the light, and carefully observed it inch by inch.
She found that there were also centripetal blood vessels on the bones, they were like very fine and thin hair strands, connecting the bones and bone spurs.
Mengmeng stared at it for a long time, her eyes were a little dizzy, and she felt that those filaments seemed to move, and they gradually twisted into a vortex, as if to **** her in.
She was in a trance, her head was getting closer and closer to the bone, and the call sounded again in her heart: “Come back, come home with me.”
Mengmeng felt very comfortable, and her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She didn’t even notice that the air in front of her was twisting, as if a cyclone appeared there, and the center of the vortex was still shimmering. Mengmeng is fascinated.
As she got closer, she was getting closer and closer, and her whole body was about to float up.
In the next second, she really floated up, and her body left the chair and went in the direction of the whirlpool.
“Mengmeng!”
This loud shout woke her up instantly, and the mysterious power that controlled her also dissipated. She fell back to the chair, her mind was dazed, and she didn’t know what happened just now.
Mengmeng shook her head, blinked her eyes vigorously, and when she looked again, the air vortex in front of her had disappeared, as if the last impression just now was just her hallucination.
She stood up holding her forehead, only to feel that she hadn’t woken up from the drink she drank today, so she opened the door and went out.
“Brother Rui, what are you looking for from me?”
Brother Rui stood in the yard. He held Mengmeng’s water bottle in his hand and handed it to her, “You left in a hurry just now and forgot your water bottle with me. I’ll bring it to you. It’s wine. Don’t drink it yourself.”
Mengmeng stuck out her tongue and said, “I don’t dare, I will never drink again.”
Her words aroused her grandma’s curiosity, and Madam Feng came over and asked, “Mengmeng, did you drink today? What did you have in your hand?”
Mengmeng quickly denied it and said, “No, I didn’t drink it. This is the monkey wine made by the Great Sage in the mountains. I brought a pot back and left it for grandpa to drink.”
Old lady Feng took the pot of wine and opened it to smell it. Old man Feng also walked over. The whole family was surrounded by it, and the pot of wine was rare.
No one found out that Hu Zi sneaked into the study while they were not paying attention, grabbed the bone and ran out.
It jumped out of the courtyard wall with a tiger leap, disappeared into the village in an instant, and went up the mountain behind it.
Mengmeng didn’t go back to the study that day. Because she had been drinking, she took a rest early and woke up late the next day. When she returned to the study again, she found that the bone was missing.
She searched and searched in the study, opened up all the bottles and jars, and looked at every corner, but found no trace of the bone.
“Strange, where did I get it?”
Mengmeng scratched her head, thinking that she had lost it. After all, she was so drunk yesterday that she couldn’t even remember what she did.
She opened the door, went out and asked her grandma, “Grandma, did anyone enter my study yesterday and today?”
Mrs. Feng said with certainty: “No, I haven’t gone in to clean it today, and no one at home will go in, even more impossible for outsiders. There are so many valuable things in it, so I won’t let them in. “
She denied all the people who might enter the study room, and then asked: “What’s up, did you lose something?”
“No.” Mengmeng shook her head, the bone was not a valuable thing, since it was lost, it was lost.
She raised her smile again and said to Mrs. Feng, “Honey, I didn’t lose anything, I just asked.”
Mengmeng said in her heart that she had no regrets. It was false. She finally got a real dragon bone. Before she could study it and understand it, it disappeared. Let her go to find another bone.
She patted her head in anguish, feeling that she was still confused. That sleep yesterday had wiped out the last trace of her memory. She can’t even tell what the bones look like now.
“Mengmeng, what’s wrong with you? Your head still hurts?” Madam Feng found her abnormality and put her hand on her forehead with concern.
Although it wasn’t hot, she still urged: “It must have been a cool breeze in the mountains yesterday. Mengmeng, go get some sleep, and when you wake up, grandma will make soup for you.”
Mengmeng didn’t want to go to sleep anymore, she was awake, and she didn’t want to stay at home in this great sunshine, so she greeted her grandma and said, “Mother, I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me, I’ll go for a walk by the sea .”
