Chapter 109: Finding a Way Out
Xiao Tao saw that there were steps on both sides, and there was a stone-paved road that led to the water's edge.
"Hurry up, get them to the water's edge! Maybe the spring will save them! ”
They hurriedly helped their brothers down the stairs together, and when they reached the water's edge, Xiao Tao asked them to put their injured brothers on the side and reach into the shallow water.
The water temperature is slightly warmer, but it is within the range that a person can bear. Then I fished some with my hands and smelled it, and there was actually a faint smell of medicine, and then I licked it with my tongue, and I could distinguish the taste of several ordinary medicinal herbs.
Although it is ordinary, it is all things that nourish the body and blood.
It's a pool of medicinal springs, and it's really a good thing!
Looking closely at the handwriting on the stone, you can faintly see that it reads, "This spring is the source of a hundred kinds of herbs, drink it, if there is a disease, it can be cured, and if there is no disease, it can strengthen the body and prolong life!" ”
"Erjia, let's give it a try! Give them some to drink and hopefully it will work! I also hope that they have their own natural appearance! Bajia, go to the bamboo house to see, if there is any needle or thread or something, hurry up and bring it, I will stitch up their wounds, their wounds are too deep, it is not good for them to heal themselves! ”
Bajia was about to squat down to drink water, but quickly got up and strode towards the bamboo house. A sewing kit was retrieved in a few moments.
Xiao Tao soaked the needle and thread in the spring water, and then hurried to stitch up the wounds for them, and the rest was left to Providence.
I drank two sips of spring water after I was busy, if I wasn't really thirsty, the taste was really not complimentary, and it smelled of medicine!
When they saw her drinking, a few of them drank some.
Xiao Tao got up after drinking and asked Erjia, "What are their names?" ”
Erjia pointed to her brother on the ground and told her that it was Eryi, Siyi, and Liuyi, and the other two who were in good health were Qijia and Shijia.
Xiao Tao instructed Qijia and Shijia to take care of their brothers, she led Erjia and Bajia to decide to go to the bamboo house to have a look, along the stone paving next to the water area to look into the distance, the more I looked, the more surprised I became, it turned out to be rare medicinal materials, and there were fruits and vegetables! They look twice as big as the outside.
When you enter the bamboo house, you can see that there are signs that people have lived in it, there are two rooms, and when you enter the door, there is a desk, and the back is a bamboo chair bookcase, which occupies the entire wall, until the roof, are all listed books.
To the left is a four-sided screen, painted by the four popular stars in the world, and also four handsome guys, Xiao Tao knows each other, and can't help but "poof" a smile, and then there is a feeling of seeing the fellow countryman, two tears in his eyes.
Inside is a tea table made of golden silk nanmu, with only two low bamboo chairs placed next to it. Inside is a beauty couch.
The furnishings in the bedroom are simple but exquisite, with a red carved bed with pure white silk mattresses, quilts and pillows. a set of dressers, and a large wardrobe.
Xiao Tao went in and opened the wardrobe, there were several sets of bright white dresses hanging inside, the style was very beautiful, and if you put it on, she was like a fairy in the Jade Palace, with fluttering clothes.
But it's different from the times outside.
"There must have been a woman here who lived here all along, but where did the people go?"
Xiao Tao instructed Erjia and the two of them to find useful clues, and she came out to look through the books, which were divided into miscellaneous categories. Those who farm land, grow medicines, raise flowers, and even raise fish.
Medicine, sheet music, recipes, everything!
Xiao Tao flipped through a few copies, but he had no choice but to put them down, feeling irritable and restless, "Alas! It's a good book! What's the use of me! ”
Then I went to the desk, and then I noticed a few beginner's guides on the desk, which happened to introduce the valley.
Xiao Tao smiled, "Oops! That's what makes a good book! At this time, his stomach rumbled, and he decided to fill his stomach first.
Take the book and lead them out, and then look south, there are more than a dozen apple trees with red and bright big apples, like a big round eggplant, and a big peach like the queen mother's peach, almost covering the leaves, which is very attractive! Others are further west, and it's hard to see what they are.
Xiao Tao couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, can this be eaten! If the one in the middle is a large meteorite, it may be radioactive, which will change the genes of the species, and will it become a monster if you eat it! Like Hulk, Spider-Man or Black Widow?
Xiao Tao swallowed his saliva, and his stomach rumbled again, "Do you want to eat one?" Anyway, it's better to change, upgrade your combat power, go out and kill yourself, and you haven't found a way out yet, it's better than starving to death! ”
I couldn't help it, "Erjia, let's go over quickly, pick some fruits, don't pick more, let's pick one by one first, and the injured brother will pick it when he wakes up, don't waste it!" Xiao Tao was really afraid of eating too much and mutating.
Erjia and Bajia followed Xiao Tao to trot over, the fruit was too heavy, they all hung down, it was enough to reach out, pick one off, Xiao Tao wiped it with his hand "Ka, Ka" and gnawed two mouthfuls in a row
"Wow, it's so crispy and sweet, sweeter than authentic red Fuji!"
The two of them were also hungry, so they didn't care about any big or small ones, one bite and one half, Xiao Tao was happy to eat an apple for a while, and burped.
After sacrificing the internal organs, Xiao Tao asked them to pick two more apples.
Looking at the direction of the sun, about the time and direction, my home is on the west side of this mountain, and it is about one o'clock when I jump into the water, and it should be four or five o'clock now.
The Dead Man's Pool is to the west, the cave is to the west, and most importantly there is no place like this outside. So should the way out be to the west?
Xiao Tao turned around and looked to find the way, surrounded by the four directions of the mountain wall, there are high platforms, the position is relative, there should have been someone here, obviously someone has built it, there are steps down in all four directions.
Look around, except for the place where the two giant pythons retreated just now is a big cave, there is nothing else, only the mountain wall, if you want to go back, in addition to going to the snake cave, it is to rush yourself into the water, but obviously the waterway is not good, the mountain is quite thick, there is no way to ventilate, not to mention, the direction of the whirlpool in it is not right, it doesn't work!
Go to the snake cave? Xiao Tao's heart trembled, and his back was cold, but thinking about it, it was really possible that the way out was there, and outsiders couldn't come in at all.
Xiao Tao thought about Situ Yu, as well as his father and mother, Yinzi, he couldn't delay any longer, he had to go out as soon as possible.
Determined to make up their minds, Xiao Tao and Bajia walked back to the water's edge, gave the fruit to Shijia and the two of them to eat, and then looked at Eryi's complexion was actually much better, their faces were flushed with a hint of ruddy, and then they checked his wounds, and miraculously they had begun to close, and after probing their pulses and breathing, they all became stronger!
Xiao Tao smiled: "Let's meet a treasure!" ”
Xiao Tao stayed at the water's edge to take care of them, "Erjia, the four of you go in one direction, go to find the exit, I'll wait for you here, if you can't find it, come back as soon as possible, don't go far!" If there is no other way out, I'm afraid there is only that snake cave, go ahead! Try looking again! ”
A few people in Bajia looked around, trying to find the way, there were cliffs all around, and they obviously felt that there was an evil energy around, but they couldn't sit still. A few people responded and hurriedly set off.
Xiao Tao held the spring water again, fed Eryi and them once, and then sat on the water's edge and looked through the beginner's guide.
