Chapter 8 Mirror Pool
No matter how dangerous and shocking the night was, driven by extreme exhaustion, the four people still fell asleep on the simple wooden board, snoring like thunder.
The yellow finch had a dream. It dreamed that the group of lost wolf cats came back again. First, it tore the little one, and then ate the rest of the people in the village. Finally, it also bit the second uncle, the lame old seven and Dong Kuiwu to pieces. The yellow finch ran desperately, but there were more and more wolf cats behind them, running to a pool. On the side, the yellow finch had no choice but to jump down, but when he looked up, a big python with a thick water tank was staring at him and opening its mouth fiercely. The yellow finch shouted, only to find that the sky was already bright.
"Brother Huang Que, are you awake?" Xiao Di came in from the outside, looked at the yellow finch, and shouted. Probably the lame seven had already told his name yesterday.
"Where are my second uncle and seventh uncle?"
"Oh, they went to the pool and said they were taking some samples. I don't understand."
The two old guys actually went to see the so-called dragon regardless of themselves. The yellow finch suddenly stood up, but suddenly remembered, "Mom, I don't know the pool at all.
"Little, little lose, isn't it?" The yellow finch smiled shyly, "Can you take me to that pool?"
"Of course!" Xiao Di picked up a dress and put it on his body, barefoot, and led the way in front of him.
The yellow finch began to measure the village called 'Donkey Unloading Mill'. There are about 20 houses, large and small. It is said that the building is a little too exaggerated, and more can't find a measuring word. A few pieces of wood and a pile of thatch can make do with it. The best one is the wooden house that has lost, but it is also thick. It's rough.
It is surrounded by mountains towering into the clouds. If you look down from a high altitude, this small village is definitely in a gap. The yellow finch looks at the direction when it came yesterday. There is too much fog, and it can't be seen clearly in the distance.
"Xiao Di, how far is it!"
"It's not far, just a few steps away!" Xiaoduo turned around and said that the boy was smiling, with dazzling white teeth. No matter how the yellow finch looked at it, he could not associate him with the boy who fought with the wolf cat yesterday.
"Xiao Di, aren't you afraid of those wolves and cats yesterday!" The yellow finch was a little curious and asked.
"Afraid? What's there to be afraid of? They are afraid of me!" After saying that, he laughed and continued to walk forward.
The yellow finch was stunned and suddenly thought of the blood-red eyes last night. I'm afraid this boy has mutated like the group of wolves and cats, saying that it is really possible for the wolf cats to be afraid of him.
A few steps in the little lost mouth made the yellow finch walk for more than ten minutes. Although the speed was not fast, what the boy said was a little exaggerated. When the two walked to the pool where the dragon appeared, Huang Hailin lame Lao Qi had already been wandering around there, while Dong Kuiwu was carrying a backpack, probably to Make a real investigation in front of the villagers.
The pool is irregular, but if you calculate it, there are at least one or two thousand square meters. The pool is clear, but you can't see it low. The more you look down, the more cold it is. The lame Lao Qi said that when the sky is clear and the sky is blue, you dare not look into the pool at all, because what you see is definitely another sky, not deep. At the bottom, it makes people feel dizzy, and even there is a feeling that they will never be able to climb up if they jump down.
"This is called Jingshui Pool." Xiao Diu said something later.
"Mirror Pool! What a good name!" Huang Hailin looked at the deep pool with a sigh. At this time, the pool was calm, and the water next to the pool was also extremely quiet. The yellow finch looked up and saw that the source of the whole pool was close to a mountain range next to it. The lower part of the mountain range was a deep hole, and the pool water passed through it.
"Lao Qi, are you the dragon you saw here?" Huang Hailin asked softly.
Lame Seven nodded and pointed to the front, "I was standing in this place at that time, and they appeared there. Damn, now I think about it and feel scared."
The yellow finch inadvertently glanced at the lame old seven. There was really a layer of goose bumps on this guy's arm. It seemed that he was really scared last time.
Huang Hailin suddenly turned his head, stared at Xiao Diu, and asked, "Xiao Diu, have you seen a dragon?"
Xiaodi listened and nodded vibly, "Of course I've seen it. Everyone here has seen it, but it doesn't seem like a dragon."
"What do you say?" Huang Hailin asked.
Xiao Di pulled out a thatch and bit it on his mouth. "That thing seems to have no claws. My grandfather said that the dragon has claws."
No claws? The yellow finch was shocked. At the beginning, he guessed that the bastard dragon might be a big python. Now Xiaoduo has said so. It seems that it should be inseparable. He came all the way to this damn place to see a strange snake, or without the protection of any measures. The yellow finch really felt that his head was in water. Damn it. Well, this really doesn't seem to be any different from suicide.
"Why do you ask the dragon?" Xiao Di tilted his head and didn't have the slightest intention.
Huang Hailin quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing. Just ask, it's helpful for us to test this water quality."
After saying that, Huang Hailin still did not give up. He walked around the pool several times and went back and forth, hoping that the dragon in the mouth of the lame old seven would appear. The yellow finch didn't think so. A wolf cat is horrible enough. If the dragon seen by the lame seven is really a python, who can guarantee that his whole body will retreat? The boy named Xiaodi in front of him is extremely brave. He can fight with wolves and cats. Can he fight a snake as big as a dragon?
The yellow finch felt afraid after thinking about it. He came to Dong Kuiwu's side and said, "Uncle Kuiwu, are you afraid of dragons?"
Dong Kuiwu was asked by this boy for no reason, and he suddenly felt cold all over. Dong Kuiwu was also a good man in Qingcheng. After following Huang Hailin for so many years, he also helped him solve a lot of problems. There were also heroic deeds of fighting with five big men on the street and finally put them all in the hospital. I don't know why. As soon as he came to this place and thought of the situation last night, Dong Kuiwu felt much more guilty. He looked at the yellow finch and said angrily, "I've never seen it. How do I know if I'm afraid?"
The yellow finch knew that he was also afraid, or he didn't have any confidence or confidence.
Huang Hailin didn't find a clue for a long time. He frowned and was very unwilling. He looked at the cave at the end of the Jingshui Pool and said to the lame Lao Qi, "Lao Qi, what's in that hole? Has anyone gone in?
Lap Lao Qi shook his head, "I haven't heard anyone say this. In fact, I haven't been in this village for a long time, only three or four months. If you ask Xiaodi, he may know."
Xiao Di saw Huang Hailin staring at the cave inside and said, "I don't know, but you can ask Grandpa. Grandpa knows everything."
The old man naturally knows a lot of things. He is simply an alternative existence in this village. He can speak standard Mandarin. Even the former lame old seven was surprised for a period of time. When he came to this pool in the morning, Huang Hailin also asked the old man about some old man and the village, but the lame old seven said, he It's not clear. I only know that the old man's surname is Cao. As for Xiaodi, this boy was picked up from a ravine in front of him 18 years ago. A child appeared in the deep mountains and forests. The villagers said that this must have been brought back by wild wolves from the outside. It is also a big boy who met a group of full wolves.
Everyone in the village knows that this boy can cut firewood at the age of eight and go up the mountain at the age of ten. At the age of 16, he fought with seven wolves. Finally, he peeled off seven wolf skins and went home with blood. From then on, there was one more ** in the place where the donkey is unloading.
Laoqi pulled out a cigarette, handed it to Huang Hailin, and said, "Second brother, don't worry about everything. How long have we been here? The next day, do you want to see that thing the next day? I've only seen it here once in three or four months. Wait a minute, maybe it will appear tomorrow.
"Do you want to see the dragon?"
Xiao Di suddenly looked at Huang Hailin and asked coldly.
The boy's words immediately shocked Huang Hailin. He seemed to realize something. He pushed away the lame old seven and said, "Xiao Diu, can you let me see the dragon?"
Xiao Di pulled out the weed in his mouth. "It's not easy to see the dragon. Just bring out the blood-sucking bird. They often fight. One appears, and the other appears."
"Verysucking bird?" The lame old seven came over and said, "The black one?"
"Yes!"
Huang Hailin seemed to have found a direction all of a sudden. He didn't come here for one purpose, that is, to see the so-called dragon in the mouth of the lame seven. Although he didn't know whether it had something to do with the heavenly machine he knew, Huang Hailin would never want to give up if he had the opportunity.
The curiosity in the heart of the yellow finch also surged up. Although there are still a lot of fears, people are like this. The more afraid they are, the more interested they are.
It's just that Xiao Diu said it lightly, but the yellow finch knew that what he said was not reliable at all. The boy completely thought about problems from his own strength. For example, when he came to this place, he said he would come after a few steps, but he walked for about ten minutes. Although he was not fast, he would never Slow, now he says that he uses a vampire bird to attract the dragon. It seems that it is not that simple. Needless to say, the dragon alone, the bird can suck blood as soon as it hears its name. It must not be easy to deal with.
"Xiao Diu, do you know how to draw the vampire bird out?"
Huang Hailin is extremely excited at this moment. As long as he can lead the dragon out, he may be able to find the answer. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Diu was ready to answer. At this time, he suddenly coughed on the way, and the old man came slowly, "Xiao Diao, chop the firewood at noon."
"I know, Grandpa!" After saying that, he smiled at the crowd again and left. The smile was still so innocent, and the smile was still like that without a trace of intention.
When Xiao Diu was far away, the dry tobacco old man stared at the lame old seven and said, "Are your friends really coming for this water?"
The lame old seven smiled awkwardly. It seemed that the old man had heard everything just now.
"Old man..."
Huang Hailin came over and was about to speak, but the old man waved his hand, pointed to the front and said, "This pool leads to the cave. The cave passes through the mountain in front of it and extends all the way to the Lancang River. I remember that someone told me very early that this Lancang River is an axe cut by the Pangu god. It came out, and this tributary to the cave is actually a trace of the axe's excessive force, so some people call it Lan Canghen.
