Yes, we did gamble on our luck, but that doesn't mean I'm completely optimistic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I wonder if I can find an exit from the road...... There is indeed hope in the heart, but the vigilance in the heart remains.

As for the tsundere teenager...... I'm sure he's just like me!

The young man's personality is not very easy to get along with, and sometimes he is really ruthless when he does things and talks.

Belch...... This is also true.

But I was also impressed by the cautious side of his personality and his composure when dealing with a crisis.

For example, he will rarely be very reckless and do something on impulse, but will think carefully before acting!

This point has been experienced many times along the way, since we entered the mountains.

I believe that the reason why he said it more lightly was mostly to calm the mood of the declining uncle.

lest the man be in the same danger as before, and he will shout around.

Once Uncle Decay encounters a crisis and loses control of his emotions, it is a thing that makes him feel upset in the eyes of the young man!

I turned my head to look at the tsundere boy, and his expression didn't look very relaxed.

It's not at all as calm as the tone in which he speaks to Uncle Decay.

As a result, I was even more convinced that I was right.

...... I don't know how long I walked along the turning river.

Anyway, in my estimation, at least half an hour.

Even if the water temperature is not cold to the bone, walking for a long time is a huge test of physical strength.

There is a huge difference between walking on land and being blocked by knee-high currents of water for the same distance.

It can be said that it takes more physical strength than we do on rough mountain roads.

It was freezing outside, but I was walking through the water, and even my back began to sweat on the way.

Looking at the other two companions on the side, Uncle Fu didn't look very good, only the tsundere boy was tall and full of energy, and he couldn't see that he was tired at all.

The eldest young master's physical strength is amazing, and it is very comparable!

"Young Master, I can't walk anymore, I have to rest again," I reluctantly spoke, "Go over the bend in front and find a place to rest." ”

Because they are wading through the water, the only place to rest is the big rocks on the shore.

You have to hope that you are lucky, and you just have a solid stone to stay on.

After I finished speaking, I looked at the tsundere boy and said, "Young Master, we can't compare to your physical strength, we still have to stop and go, otherwise we can only stop eating." ”

He stared at me, frowning slightly, and then responded succinctly: "Okay." ”

...... Just like last time, we paused for a short time on the big rocks by the river.

This section of the journey lasted for a long time, and the water depth was always relatively balanced, all in a knee-high position.

We each sat down on the big rock to rest, our heads bowed in thought, and we didn't talk.

I don't have time to think about the thoughts in the hearts of the two of them at the moment, as for myself, what I think about the most is the exit of the road ahead!

Isn't it said that the willows and flowers are bright and another village?

When will the exit inadvertently crash into my eyes?

It would be nice to surprise me!

The change in the water potential was quietly brewing, and I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, as if something was wrong.

Given that I've experienced it many times on the road, I didn't pay much attention to it when the hunch came this time.

I believe that in this confined space, the light is dim, and the lighting has to rely on the night pearl, and my mood is affected by the bad environment.

When we started wading back and passed a bend in the river, the situation suddenly changed.

I felt something, I don't know where the wind was blowing, and the light in front of me was slightly higher.

There was a dull sound in my ears, and the river suddenly became turbulent, almost instantaneously.

I was so frightened that I almost fell in the water!

The tsundere boy on the side was extremely fast, and he also grabbed my arm at that moment.

"Xiaoling, the terrain has changed, if you guessed correctly......"

...... This is the second shining gap we encounter along the way.

It's a pity that the top of the passage is no longer within our reach, and there is nowhere to climb on the top, so we can only stand at the bottom and look up.

One thing is certain, and that is that the rain has finally stopped.

The slope of the terrain makes the water flow suddenly faster, but the direction of flow is still the same.

All converged on the lower ground ahead.

"No, I seem to have seen this place, and I came here through other passages!"

Uncle Decay, who followed us, muttered to himself at that moment.

I stared at him for a moment, thinking back to what he had just said, what did you mean, he had been here, a few years ago?

I quickly exchanged glances with the tsundere boy, and then both focused their eyes on Uncle Decrepit, staring at him without taking their eyes off him for a moment.

I heard it with the boy, and there was an article in his words.

"There was a suspension bridge ahead, but why didn't I see it?"

Uncle Decrep's whole state was a little wrong, he looked ahead blankly, and he spoke in a trance.

"Uncle, uncle!"

I called him twice before he came back to look at me, but it seemed difficult to detach himself from the emotion he had just had.

Therefore, when he looked at me, his eyes were still a little confused, and the whole person was not in a state.

"Uncle, don't worry, speak slowly, you came here a few years ago?"

I spoke to him in a very gentle tone to calm him down for a while.

The uncle looked at me and said, "I remember this gap above, I remember very clearly, in this area, there is a suspension bridge, about a dozen zhang in front, this position should be able to see." ”

I glanced at the tsundere boy again, and he gestured at me and didn't answer.

I looked at Uncle Decay and said calmly: "It's not the first time we've seen a gap on the top, how can you be sure that this is it?" ”

"No, I'm sure, I remember it very well," his eyes flashed, "because it was not easy to walk in the passage at that time, I was in a hurry all the way, and I remember this place very well." ”

"Didn't we see that before, uncle?"

I tried to ask him again.

There is more than one gap, and the tsundere boy has tried to climb on it, imagining whether he can get through, but of course this idea was denied.

Because the rock formation was too thick at that time, and there was no suitable focus point.

"No, it's here, I remember there's a drawbridge ahead."

Uncle is very persistent.

Hearing this, the tsundere boy finally spoke, he reached out and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiaoling, I'll take a look, you wait here with him first, I'll come when I go." ”

"What are you going to do? Gentleman? I quickly asked.

He smiled at me.

The young man spoke, turned his head to look at Uncle Decrepit and said, "The place you said is only a dozen feet away from here, just go and take a look." ”

"Is it appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate, Xiaoling, I'm just going to take a look."

The boy threw down a sentence and was already a few meters away.

"Young Master, be careful!"

I shouted at his back, and the boy immediately stared back at me for a few seconds before moving on.

...... Based on what I saw, I realized that the water was indeed different from before.

The reason for this is naturally because the water is tilted to a certain place, and the water flow begins to become turbulent.

There is a drop in height, but the direction is the same.

As the boy walked through it, his steps were still light, as if the resistance caused by the current was negligible to him.

Once again, we can see the gap between us and him.

My lips moved, and I wanted to say something that should be said, but I couldn't, and my feelings were quite complicated.

Turning my head to look at Uncle Decrepit on the side, I found that his gaze also followed the direction of the tsundere boy's departure, and his gaze was always locked on the boy's body, never looking away.

The distance of more than ten zhang is not too far, he wants to go and see, it still sounds feasible.

If it weren't for the proximity, I don't think he would have made a decision so quickly.

If I and Uncle Decrepit are left here, if it takes a long time, he will worry about the accident.

...... As far as the eye could see, suddenly, the young man not far in front of him seemed to be stumbling, and the whole person fell into the water!

I was immediately startled, and immediately shouted in his direction: "Young Master, what's the matter with you?" ”

My heart was racing and I was a little scared!

Soon, the boy's head emerged from the water, and from a distance, he was heard muttering something.

I let out a sigh of relief, a little trembling, and stared at his figure.

The boy turned back in a swimming position, then went to the "shore" and waded all the way to the water.

When we got to the two of us, the young man looked at me and said, "Xiaoling, there is a deep pit over there, and the water is not comparable here!" ”

The tsundere boy was explaining to me why he fell into the water and disappeared just now, all because of that deep pit.

He didn't expect it to be hollow under his feet, so he fell, and the whole person fell into the water.

After a pause, the young man looked at Uncle Yuan, frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Is the location of the suspension bridge you said indeed in that area?" Is there any mistake? ”

"Absolutely," said the uncle's tone with great certainty, "yes! ”

"Well, since you're insisting...... Xiaoling, I'll go underwater and have a look," the young man turned his head to take the Night Pearl from my hand, looked at me and said in a soft tone, "Xiaoling, I'll go over there and dive down to take a look, you wait for me here." ”

"Young Master, this is not good, we are partners, why don't I go with me!"

I thought for a moment and said, "If you encounter danger, you can take care of it." ”

The water temperature here is within my tolerance range, and it doesn't strain my hands and feet, so swimming should be fine.

"No, I want you to be here, wait in peace," the young man flatly refused.

"Don't worry, if there is danger, I will naturally come back," the young man reached out and patted me on the shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "Xiaoling!" Listen to me. ”

"It was very dangerous just now, I saw it with my own eyes, and you disappeared all of a sudden."

The young man's expression looked very uncomfortable, he paused when he heard the words, and then looked at me and responded: "Xiaoling, I was just unprepared just now, so I stepped on the pit by mistake and fell in." ”

This guy's face is not very good-looking, don't you feel embarrassed by the previous scene?

I figured out why, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

The young man coughed, turned his head a little unnaturally, and then emphasized to me: "Xiaoling, if you have figured out that there is a deep pit over there, this time it will be different, ...... It's not careful. ”

He really cares!

I nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, you always have a point, listen to you." ”

It's not good to be entangled anymore, maybe the moody young master in front of him will lose his temper again!

He nodded in satisfaction and walked in the same direction again with the Night Pearl.

This time he was slowly diving into the water, right under our watchful eye.

...... I sat on a large rock at the water's edge and waited patiently as he asked.

After a long while, the boy came up and changed his breath, glanced back at my position, and went down again.

This time I waited longer than the last time, and when I looked at Uncle Decline, he looked more nervous than I was.

There is no way to talk about the words of comfort, they are waiting for the result of the young man's exploration, if it is completely different from what Uncle Decrepit said, then ......

I lowered my head and pondered, and I heard the sound of water not far away, and the boy swam up from the water again.

He walked all the way back, water dripping from the ends of his hair.

"Big young master, how's it going?" Uncle Decay rushed towards him quickly and asked anxiously.

The boy stared at him, his tone still calm: "That's right, there are indeed traces of a drawbridge, I saw the chain under the water, but it's just ......"

The young man paused, and continued: "It's just that the bridge has been smashed a long time ago, and now the deep pit is full of water, and the bottom of the water is rocks. ”

"In other words, this place is actually completely different from what you have been doing a few years ago."

Uncle Decrepit asked twice, and got a repeat answer from the tsundere boy with some impatience.

He turned his head and ignored him, and walked straight over to me and sat down.

After listening to the young man's exact answer, Uncle Fu seemed to have aged a few years all of a sudden, and the spirit and spirit around his body seemed to have been removed at that moment, and he looked like earth.

I stared at Uncle Decay, then turned my head to look at the people around me.

Seeing that the young man's body had become foggy, he sat there cross-legged quietly.

I knew I couldn't bother at this time.

Even if I have questions, I'll have to wait to get the answers I want to know.

...... The boy stood up and made eye contact with me.

I looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "Young Master, after all...... The suspension bridge was destroyed, and the original road surface became a deep pothole, was it because of the earthquake in the past few years? ”

"Did the earthquake affect the terrain in this area?" (To be continued.) )
