Chapter Eighty-Eight: Searching for Her in a Thousand Ways (1)
The peaceful days have been quiet and content, and under the joint care of He Caiwei and Xinche, Yin Suwen's external injuries have healed, and most of his internal injuries have healed.
Xin Che is still silently doing his own thing, chanting, writing, chopping wood, watering vegetables, and everything is calm and calm every day; He Caiwei often has a smile on her face, picking medicine, drying, and buying, everything is more and more energetic. Seeing that Yin Suwen was no longer in trouble, the two gradually became less strict with her, and most of the time they would follow her wishes and play wherever she wanted. When she is busy on weekdays, she takes the initiative to help share some housework, and when she is not busy, she is like a happy bird, always running away from home.
Near the outlet, the valley is half-surrounded by a hidden river, which was originally an outlet, and then the mountain springs deep in the rock formations of Donghuang Mountain converge in the valley to form a small river of clear water. The lower reaches of the river are shallow, turning into a shallow stream just for the daily water of the three people in the valley, and the upstream place extends from the dense forest outside the valley, with occasional undercurrents of different depths, and the terrain is somewhat dangerous, but there are extremely fat white-coated fish in the water. This fish is rare and a good nourishing product, and it can earn a good price in the Shangyuan Mansion, and in the past, except for the occasional subsidy for the household must come to fish, He Caiwei rarely comes here, and Yin Su asked the first place that was forbidden to set foot after entering the valley also included here.
At first, Yin Suwen was obedient, and his body had not yet healed, so he didn't run around much. In recent days, her body has improved a lot, and she no longer has such strict requirements, and her excited little mood is ready to move again.
The small river is connected to the only exit out of the valley, and although Yin Suwen is naughty and playful, he remembers the admonition of his heart, and will never go out of the valley without his permission, so even if he goes to the river, he never approaches the mouth of the valley.
She didn't know the nature of water, so she originally held up a small bamboo raft and only planned to catch a few fish at the place where the small river was diverted to the stream. Unfortunately, it was close to the shallows, there were very few aquatic products, and she had no catching skills at all, so after a few harpoons were stirred into the water, not only did the fish basket empty but also scared away the few fish that were there.
"It's so infuriating! I still don't believe it, but a few small fish can be so hard to catch? ”
Rolled up his sleeves and skirt again, and tied his trousers again, Yin Suwen cheered himself up again, and secretly determined to get those few small fish. Looking at the upper reaches of the small river close to the dense forest from afar, the careful thoughts of going or not going became entangled with each other for a while.
"Upstream, there is a dense jungle outside the valley, and the deciduous fruits that have been around for many years are the favorite of small fish, so they must be hidden there, and there must be a lot of them, and it will be much easier to catch."
"But the water is very fierce there, and there will be undercurrents and whirlpools from time to time, what if there is danger?"
"Actually, it's not that serious, and now it seems that the water upstream is just as calm. What's more, I don't go into the water, and there are a few large rock protrusions in the middle of the upstream river, which are enough for several people to stand. As long as you rely on that piece of ground to move, don't run around at will, catch a few fish and go back quickly, there should be no big problem. Yes, that's it! ”
After several back-and-forth self-reflection and choices, Yin Suwen decided to take a risk. Fortunately, there is a large area of rocks exposed in the middle of the river, and as long as you can go up and stand firm first, the rest of the matter should be easier. She mustered up the strength to prop up the bamboo raft and paddled directly towards the big rock in the middle, the water of the small river was still clear, although it was against the current, but the water was not in a hurry and it was easy to row.
After rowing for a distance, the water surface has always been calm, and it is safe and sound to avoid two places where undercurrents often occur, Yin Suwen couldn't help but be secretly happy, on the one hand, he felt that his luck was quite good, and on the other hand, he wanted to boast that he was superb in supporting the boat. Seeing that the huge rocks were close in front of her, she didn't care to rest, grabbed the cable with one hand and jumped violently towards the rocks.
The rock had been born in the river for a long time, and it looked nothing unusual from a distance, but when you looked closer, you could find that the rock had long been covered with short, soft moss, and the whole stone was soft and smooth under the moisture of the river.
Yin Suwen only held the cable in his hand, looking for the place where the stone crevice protruded, and tied the bamboo raft, his mind didn't pay attention to his feet at all, and the moment he stepped on the stone, he directly fell into the river.
She drowned once when she was a child, and since then she has been unable to get rid of the shadows of deep water, so she has never known the nature of water. Now he slipped into the water defenselessly, and happened to fall into an arc-shaped whirlpool channel, and the seven orifices were instantly filled by the cold river water, and the whole person suddenly panicked, and wanted to open his mouth to call for help but choked on a large mouthful of water.
Because of the chaotic fluttering of hands and feet, all the silt at the bottom of the river was stirred up, Yin Suwen was filled with full river water, not only could not float, but was also blinded by the floating silt and weeds. In just a few moments, her legs began to twitch and hurt, and her whole person seemed to be weighed down by tens of thousands of pounds of stones, falling straight towards the bottom of the whirlpool.
There seemed to be another undercurrent in the underwater whirlpool, and a strong stream of water swept Yin Suwen and swayed in the cold river water. Through the panicked fish and tangled aquatic weeds and dust, she faintly saw a sturdy figure swimming towards her. Brother monk, is it him? Is it he who has come to save himself? Yin Suwen, who was in the whirlpool, was like a swaying boat in the lonely sea, she gradually couldn't feel the stinging sensation of the river choking into her body, and her body became softer and softer, but she still tried her best to see the approaching figure clearly.
When I woke up again, there was no river in front of me, only half of the sun and half of the green trees. After all, he was rescued, and he was on the gravel beach on the bank of the river. Looking closely at the back in front of him, it didn't seem to be Xinche, but a man in black with long hair and thin hair.
The man was also dressed in wet clothes, and he should have been the one who helped him. He asked with his back to Yin Su, soothing her legs that had just been cramping in the water, not noticing that she had woken up.
"You, who are you?"
I sat up with a strong grip, and coughed uncontrollably as soon as I opened my mouth. There was still a small amount of river cement and sand left in the throat, and the choking stabbed in the throat uncomfortably. The figure turned around and didn't speak, but just helped pat her back in a few places, and she felt more comfortable.
Looking up again, Yin Suwen finally saw the appearance of the man in front of him, and above his resolute and angular face was a pair of narrow and bright eyes. His face was cold and he couldn't see good and evil, but there was a cold light in his eyes, which made Yin Suwen, who was dressed in wet clothes, couldn't help but shiver.
