Chapter 52: Blessing and Misfortune
Gong Baorou followed Qiu Niang all the way up, there was no road here, and only a little trace of people coming and going could be seen faintly, which was probably left by people like Qiu Niang.
"Here we are, right there." Qiu Niang raised her hand and pointed at it, and Gong Baorou followed it, and there was a moment of trance.
The flying stream went straight down to 3,000 feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen for nine days.
Of course, this poem would be exaggerated here, but at this moment, Gong Baorou only had this one poem in her mind.
"It's hard to imagine that there is a waterfall here......" Gong Baorou muttered.
Qiu Niang had already run over happily, splashing with her hands and jumping barefoot.
"Sister Arou, aren't you coming?" Qiu Niang waved her hand to Gong Baorou.
Gong Baorou came back to her senses, and wanted to let her be careful of catching a cold, but after thinking about it, she nodded to her with a smile and walked towards her.
As it got closer, the slightest fluctuation became more and more obvious, and Gong Baorou tried it step by step until she reached into the water.
The water is lukewarm! Gong Baorou bowed her head in surprise. It's spring now, and there may be hot weather in Haicheng, but in the countryside, the temperature is generally low, let alone in the mountains, at least now Gong Baorou is wearing two clothes, a short-sleeved T-shirt and a long-sleeved jacket.
Qiu Niang said a little proudly: "Sister Arou also found out, the water here is warm." β
"Indeed, it's amazing." Gong Baorou took off her shoes and went into the water, "Is there a hot spring near here?" β
"Not really." Qiu Niang blinked, "This is a little secret, although everyone in Dushuihe knows it, but not many people know this secret." β
"What's the secret?" Gong Baorou asked curiously.
Qiu Niang picked up a handful of water: "In the entire Dushui River, only the water here is warm." β
"Only here?" Gong Baorou bent down and felt the temperature of the river. She followed the current, and gradually the height of the water flooded her knees and spread to her waist.
This is it! Gong Baorou's hand shook in the water, and she actually felt a clear dividing line, on both sides of this line, one side was warm and the other was cold.
Why is that? Gong Baorou was confused.
"Sister Arou, here and here!" Qiu Niang walked towards the bottom of the cliff, and Gong Baorou's gaze fell on the milky way.
Gong Baorou went ashore, and a gust of wind blew and she couldn't help but shiver.
"Sister Arou, this is for you." Qiu Niang carefully grabbed something with her hand and sent it to Gong Baorou, "This kind of small fish is only available here, and only Qiu Niang can catch it." β
Gong Baorou was amused by Qiu Niang's appearance of offering treasures: "Then thank you Qiu Niang." As he spoke, he reached out and took it.
It was like an electric shock, and when Gong Baorou's fingers touched the slender fish, she clearly felt her hand shaking uncontrollably, and her brain ached as if it had been beaten with a stick.
"Sister Arou, Sister Arou?" Qiu Niang looked at Gong Baorou's face pale, as if she was about to fall, and couldn't help but cry out worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" β
"I'm fine." Gong Baorou quickly withdrew her hand and shook it off as if she was fine.
"Sister Arou, your health is too bad." Qiu Niang whispered, "Go home and let your mother make something to eat for you." β
Gong Baorou smiled bitterly, her eyes fixed on the fish. The fish looked no different, with a thin index finger and a fusiform body, except for a distinct silvery-white pattern on its back.
Pattern?! Gong Baorou frowned and made a bold guess.
"Are there many such fish here?" Gong Baorou asked Qiu Niang.
"Huh? Yes, there are many. Qiu Niang nodded, "And this fish only grows here, and there is no other place." β
"Can you catch a few more?" Gong Baorou quickly said, "I want to be big and alive." β
"No problem." Qiu Niang nodded in agreement and plunged into the water. A few minutes later, Qiu Niang came up with a few fish in her clothes.
Gong Baorou only found out at this time that the fish here would not struggle, even if they were pretended to be dressed by Qiu Niang like this, they just stopped swimming, and flicked their tails leisurely, as if they didn't know that they had changed the world.
"Sister Arou, here you go." Qiu Niang ran over with a snap.
Gong Baorou nodded and took out the bottle that had begun to fill with water. She wanted to pour the water out, but she suddenly had an idea. Gong Baorou put the fish directly in.
Sure enough, the fish, which was still very old, suddenly struggled fiercely, as if it had entered a pot of oil.
Is the problem on the water? Gong Baorou was thoughtful. She really wanted to find out what was going on now, but at the moment there was an eight-year-old girl beside her, Gong Baorou could only suppress such a thought, poured out the water and the fish, and then filled a bottle of water here, and put the fish in again, at this time, the fish did not react at all.
"This fish...... Is there a name? Gong Baorou shook the bottle slightly.
"No...... Qiu Niang didn't give it a name. β
Don't have a name? Gong Baorou put the bottle away and said to Qiu Niang with a smile, "Let's go back." β
Of course, Qiu Niang is with Gong Baorou, and they have been out for an hour, and the sky is getting darker, and if it is a little later, it will not be safe in the forest.
After dinner, Gong Baorou went back to the room and told Uncle Li that he was tired and wanted to go to bed early, but he was actually studying the fish he brought back without a name.
"It's amazing...... Gong Baorou did a few real things, but in the end she couldn't tell whether it was the water that affected the fish, or the fish that affected the water. She was vaguely afraid of this fish, so she was very cautious.
"Tuk-tuk." A very small voice sounded in the window, Gong Baorou hesitated for a moment, and heard someone outside the window whispering: "Sister Arou, I brought something for you." β
Gong Baorou opened the window, and the stone was lying on the window, grinning and bringing her a bowl of things.
"This is the fish that my sister caught today, let me give a little to Sister Arou."
Gong Baorou took it with a smile: "Thank you, stone." β
"It's okay, it's okay." Shi hurriedly waved his hand, blushed and said, "Sister said that your health is not good, you need to eat more." β
"Then thank you for me, sister." Gong Baorou touched the stone's little head.
"Hmm." Shi smiled shyly, "Sister Arou wants to eat more, I ate this when I was sick, and my illness will get better soon." β
The stone quietly left, and Gong Baorou took the bowl to the table and sat down.
The fish in the bowl is grilled, but Qiu Niang is obviously very skilled, the skin of the fish does not have a trace of over-burnt black, and the golden color exudes an attractive fragrance.
Since the stone and Qiu Niang can be eaten, then she should have no problem, right? Thinking so, Gong Baorou directly grabbed a fish, and after finding that she didn't feel anything, she took a bite carefully.
Where is there any fish meat in the finger-long fish, Gong Baorou went down in the first bite, and after finding that there was nothing, she ate the first fish in three or five bites.
"It tastes good." Gong Baorou couldn't help but suck her fingers. After eating two or three in a row, Gong Baorou had a peculiar feeling. She felt like she had become a fish, immersed in the gentle waves of the water, rippling with the current. It seemed that there was only a moment, and as if a long time had passed, Gong Baorou came back to her senses. She looked at her watch and was amazed.
She remembered that it was only seven o'clock when she opened the window, and now, it was almost twelve o'clock.
"How so?" Gong Baorou got up, but she didn't feel tired and sore after sitting for a long time, she shook her head, and felt that her mental strength seemed to have increased.
No, it's really grown.
Because of the experience of her previous life, Gong Baorou has been steadily and slowly cultivating in terms of exercising her spiritual power, so although she has not recovered to the level she once had, she is not much worse now. Of course, this was for the other day. Now, she could clearly feel that she was about the same level as in her previous life.
Gong Baorou was nervous and excited, she looked at the bowl, there were only some scraps in it, so she shifted her eyes to the water bottle, where there were still four or five fish swimming leisurely.
"I shouldn't be afraid of you if I eat fish, right?" Gong Baorou guessed that Qiu Niang was immune to them because she ate this fish, and she wouldn't be like her.
Unfortunately, she guessed wrong.
"Holy!" Gong Baorou couldn't help but curse a second before she fell.
Just a light touch will make you feel like an electric shock, so what about grabbing it directly in your hand? Gong Baorou lost control of her body, even though her consciousness was clear. But she would rather faint like this, because she found that her spiritual power was like being drained by a water pipe, and it was constantly injected into the bodies of these little fish.
Could it be that eating fish will increase mental power because these fish will also absorb spiritual power?! Gong Baorou was terrified, but she couldn't move.
The speed of extraction gradually slowed down, and Gong Baorou's spiritual power was not much left.
I guess it's planted here today. Gong Baorou thought helplessly, and relaxed indifferently.
Suck it, suck it, and I'll kill you!
Gong Baorou looked at the ceiling and thought viciously. Anyway, the spiritual power can still be slowly cultivated, and she doesn't take it as her fate.
Finally, Gong Baorou felt that her mental power was no longer lost, and just when she wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, something happened that surprised and delighted her.
A faint but very pure spiritual power slowly flowed back into Gong Baorou's body.
It's like it took the ingredients and gave her back one dish after another. Gong Baorou didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse, an extremely tired feeling consumed her body and mind, and she could only fall asleep unwillingly in a nervous and apprehensive mood.
