Chapter 32: Overboard
"Since there is a map, why don't you let Commander Xue mark all the routes he has taken, and let's help see what else is missing?" Cui Zhixing proposed.
"Lone also thinks this method is good. Jiang Xuanjun agreed.
Just when Xue Mao marked little by little according to Cui Zhixing's method, a picture suddenly appeared in Cui Zhiwei's mind, she saw a cave at the end of a small river, and the picture turned to a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers and fragrant birds and flowers, which reminded her of a travelogue she had seen. Because of this, she firmly believed that the picture that appeared in her mind just now should be the entrance to the Baili family.
But she didn't say this guess rashly, but when Xue Mao marked all the routes on the map, everyone was puzzled, pointed to a place on the map and asked, "You say, will the entrance be here?"
"Why did Xiao Zhiwei say that?" Jiang Xuanjun turned his head to look at her.
"It's because there's no marking!" she said innocently, "what? Am I wrong?"
Jiang Xuanjun smiled, "You're right, there is indeed no mark here." Then he pointed to the map and explained, "But this is a river, and at the end of the river is a cave." ”
"And what about being in a cave without an entrance?"
"No, how can there be an entrance there?"
Cui Zhili knew her secret, and was afraid that everyone and the prince would not believe it, so he followed: "I also think that there may be an entrance there." ”
"How do you know?" asked Cui Zhixing.
"I ...... Guess. "In fact, they follow the trend.
"You two little ones don't mess around," Cui Zhixing sighed, "After that, we'll go find the entrance, and you two will stay at the inn honestly." He also felt sorry for his younger brothers and sisters to say this, of course, Cui Zhiyi was not bad, and in the end, even he was confined to the inn.
"I have to go. Cui Zhiwei insisted, "What if you find the entrance and don't take me to the Baili family?"
Cui Zhili followed and said: "Me too, wherever my sister goes, I will go." ”
"I'm going too. Cui Zhiyi was afraid of being left behind, so he followed the coaxing.
"What are you all doing?" Cui Zhixing smiled, "Can't we wait for us to find the entrance before going?"
"Big brother," Cui Zhiwei said, "don't stop us, maybe how many of us will be that opportunity?"
"Didn't you believe it before?"
"I'm just saying that grandmother wasn't that chance. "I didn't say that a few of them weren't, didn't she find the entrance?
"Okay," Seeing that several of their brothers and sisters were arguing over this matter, Qi Shi hurriedly said, "If a few of them want to go, take it with them, and more people will follow." "Can't they not go to the Hou Mansion one by one, in case they are told by the person surnamed Bai, wouldn't it be a big deal to delay the prince?
In this way, except for the Qi family and Wei Qiuniang, who stayed with her, the next time Shangcang Wenshan searched for the entrance of the Baili family, several small ones followed Cui Jin and the others.
There are several groups, and Huhula followed a lot of them, not like they were doing business, but like going to the green. Even Ji Yanning, who followed all the way, was afraid of being left behind, so he followed everywhere.
It's just destined to disappoint people other than Cui Zhiwei and Cui Zhili, who have been going around the mountains for more than ten days, but still haven't found the entrance to the Baili family.
"Maybe what Zhiwei said before was right. When Cui Jin was resting halfway, he said to everyone, "If you can't figure out the cave at the end of this river, you can really find the entrance." "I've looked for the rest, and I can't think of any other place that could be the entrance.
"It's all here, why don't you get a few boats and go down the river to have a look?" Jiang Xuanjun asked him.
Cui Jin looked at everyone, "But there won't be many people who can bring it." "He's really afraid that a few little ones are going to go. But I'm really afraid of something, and a few small ones are really clamoring to go.
Especially Cui Zhiwei, who hugged his big ~ legs again, and coquettishly made him have no resistance at all as a father, so he could only bring a few small ones with him in the end.
But this place is not big in the first place, and there are only two boatmen in total, and there are only three small boats in total, which is less than Cui Jin imagined before.
"What should I do?" Cui Jin took Cui Zhixing to discuss with Jiang Xuanjun.
"Or," Cui Zhixing thought for a while, "let a few guards go over to investigate, and when we're sure it's safe there, we'll take a boat over." ”
"Knowing and doing this method works. At the critical moment, Jiang Xuanjun still felt that he was the most reliable.
The first batch of guards led by Xue Mao arrived smoothly, and when Xue Mao came back with the boatman to pick up everyone, he regretfully told everyone, "It is a cave that is not too big, and it is estimated that it can accommodate more than a dozen people. ”
He added: "My subordinates also asked the boatman, and he said that he had been ferrying here for more than 20 years, and he had never heard of any entrance here. ”
"Then has he heard of the Baili family?" Jiang Xuanjun asked.
He said that he had heard about it, but it had been rumored for many years, but they had never seen anyone from the Baili family. Speaking of this, Xue Mao persuaded, "Why don't Your Highness, let's go back to the capital, right? ”
Jiang Xuanjun smiled bitterly, "If Lone can go back, maybe he will go back a long time ago." "He's been just holding it up.
"Your Highness!"
Jiang Xuanjun waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go." ”
Cui Zhiwei and Cui Zhili, the two little guys, Jiao Jiao, took Meng and Cui Jin on the same boat, Yan Jingnian and Cui Zhiyi were also small, counting them, one big and four small, the boat did not seem crowded.
On the other boat, Jiang Xuanjun and Cui Zhixing were on the other boat, and then there were four people, Bai Zhi and Xue Mao, who were barely strong.
The third boat was originally intended for the guards, and the people who supported the boat were also selected from among the guards. But Ji Yanning just followed and got on the boat, and everyone couldn't get rid of it. She was a woman, and it was inconvenient for several guards to do it, so in the end she could only have one less guard, leaving a place for her.
Originally, this section of the water was easy to walk, and it was easy to hold the boat, just go downstream. Unexpectedly, the water suddenly became turbulent, and the two old boatmen were not surprised, and continued to prop the boat forward with a calm face.
The guards of the third boat were unfamiliar with the waterways, but they accidentally hit the reef, and the whole boat was thrown into the water.
"Help!" Ji Yanning splashed a few times in the water and poured several mouthfuls of water,
Cui Jin, who was closest to their boat, saw it and shouted, "Save people!"
But the bad thing was that the boatman stretched out his oars before Ji Yanning grabbed them, and another guard who fell into the water happened to be quickly rushed over and slammed into their hull.
Several children were relatively light, Cui Jin focused on saving Ji Yanning again, his body was a little tilted, and as soon as their boat deviated, Cui Zhiwei and Cui Zhili fell into the water one after another.
