The sky is getting darker and darker, and the soldiers of the Qin army have already lit torches, I have to say that the Qin army is indeed an elite division, even at night, they are also full of vigilance, patrolling back and forth in groups of three, without the slightest relaxation.

Li Qing patted Huang Meng and asked, "Big brother, can you still see your surroundings clearly?" ”

Huang Meng shook his head and said, "Except for the fire at the bridge, I can't see anything clearly." ”

Li Qing was overjoyed, untied his belt, let Huang Meng hold it, and then said, "Big brother, where are the shallow waters you are talking about?" ”

Huang Meng said: "About 300 steps upstream from the bridge, there is a stone like a turtle, and that place is the shallowest place in this mountain stream. ”

"Three hundred steps, a big rock like a turtle."

After Li Qing wrote down the characteristics that Huang Meng said, he led Huang Meng to walk upstream along the edge of the stream, and the soldiers of the Qin army, although they lit torches, completely ignored Li Qing, who was not far from them.

The light is dark, and it is vividly interpreted here, Li Qing took Huang Meng, walked a total of 300 steps, and Li Qing really found a big round stone like a turtle by the stream.

"Big brother, you said that the shallow water is here?"

Huang Meng couldn't see it, so he had to let Li Qing describe the shape of the stone turtle, and after listening to Li Qing's description, Huang Meng nodded and said, "Yes, this is it, brother, let's see if the stream flows slower than elsewhere?" ”

Li Qing took a closer look, and sure enough, as Huang Meng said, the stream here flows much slower than elsewhere, but I don't know why.

Li Qing pulled out the long sword at his waist and inserted it into the stream, only to hear a "click", the long sword actually touched a hard object at a place not deep into the water.

"Is it a stone?"

Li Qing told Huang Meng about his discovery, and Huang Meng chuckled: "Yes, there was originally a stone bridge here, and then the stone bridge collapsed, and the wooden bridge was built, and this is where the original stone bridge was located." ”

Li Qing hesitated a little and said, "Big brother, are you sure you can cross the river here?" ”

Huang Meng nodded and said: "Brother, don't worry, I have crossed here twice, there is absolutely no problem, we crossed the river by feeling the stones, which can ensure that we are not washed away by the current, and when we reach the opposite side, there is also a dark passage to go ashore." ”

The soldiers of the Qin Army in the distance were still patrolling with torches, and Li Qing knew that although the other party did not notice the two of them for the time being, if he continued to stay, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be discovered, so he could not hesitate any longer.

Li Qing looked at Huang Meng, who only had one arm, and asked hesitantly, "Big brother, can you cross the river now?" ”

Huang Meng obviously thought of this as well, it was obviously difficult to maintain balance with one arm in the water, especially now that Huang Meng had not fully adapted to the loss of one arm.

After thinking about it, Huang Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about me, I can do it." ”

Li Qing looked at Huang Meng with some suspicion, in the dark, although Li Qing could barely see, he couldn't see the expression on Huang Meng's face.

Huang Meng smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, we Chu people are good at water, what can a mountain stream do to me?" ”

Li Qing was still not at ease, but the time was urgent, and Li Qing couldn't afford to think about it anymore, looking at the belt in his hand, Li Qing's heart suddenly moved, and he and Huang Meng's belt were entwined with each other.

Huang Meng exclaimed: "Brother, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Qing said: "In this way, if you can't hold on, big brother, I can detect it." ”

Huang Meng said angrily: "In this way, if something happens to me, won't I hurt my brother." ”

Li Qing said: "Since you and I have become brothers, should we live and die together?" ”

When Huang Meng heard this, his heart trembled, and there was a flash of water in his eyes, looking at the belt wrapped around his waist, Huang Meng secretly made up his mind that once he couldn't hold on, he would cut the belt with his short sword, saying that he couldn't hurt his brother.

The two began to cross the river, Li Qing carefully poked his legs into the water, the surface of the stream was cold, but there was a warm current in the depths, which made Li Qing's eyes light up.

Li Qing did not choose to walk on the stone, but chose to walk in the water, holding the stone with his hand and swimming to the opposite bank.

Huang Meng was dragged and also entered the water, leaving only the one-armed Huang Meng to control the balance with difficulty, but fortunately, Huang Meng's water quality was indeed not bad, and he barely kept up with Li Qing.

Li Qing swam forward while reaching out to help Huang Meng from time to time, these actions are naturally not too difficult on the shore, but when they are in the water, they are extremely exhausting.

"Poof"

Huang Meng felt that his feet were empty, and his body suddenly fell forward, because his waist was connected to Li Qing's belt, Li Qing was also pulled on his back by inertia.

"Goo Knock Goo

After being poured several mouthfuls of water in a row, Li Qing finally touched the stones in the water with his hands, dragged his body up, and gasped vigorously for a few breaths, Li Qing hurriedly dragged Huang Meng up again, and found that Huang Meng had fainted because of choking on water.

"Ahem"

Li Qing tied Huang Meng to his back and carried Huang Meng on his back to move forward, which was a very risky act, and if he was not careful, both of them could be drowned in the water.

"Was there any sound just now?"

A Qin soldier who was patrolling moved his ears and subconsciously shone the torch into the stream.

"It should be fish, come out at night to breathe."

Seeing this, another Qin soldier said with a smile, this is a very normal thing, the big fish will always burst out of the water in the middle of the night, and then fall back heavily.

The Qin soldier shook the water, did not notice anything unusual, and did not suspect him, so he continued to patrol.

Li Qing carried Huang Meng on his back, and finally came to the other side after spending a lot of energy.

"Whew"

Li Qing fell to the ground, panting vigorously, forcefully untied the belt tied to his body, and laid Huang Meng's body flat on the ground.

Looking at the unconscious Huang Meng, Li Qing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly squeezed Huang Meng's chest.

"Poof"

Huang Meng spat out a few mouthfuls of muddy water and finally came to his senses.

Li Qing saw that Huang Meng woke up, and said with great joy: "Brother, you scared me to death." ”

Huang Meng thought of the scene where he stumbled, and he didn't know that Li Qing saved him, so he couldn't help but tremble: "Brother...... I ......"

Li Qing patted Huang Meng on the shoulder and said, "Big brother, since you and I are already commensurate with brothers, how can I abandon you?" I believe that if I am in danger, you will definitely save me desperately, big brother. ”

Huang Meng fumbled to find Li Qing's hand, and said, "Brother, don't worry, as long as Huang Meng doesn't die for a day, he will never let others hurt my brother." ”

The two figures made an oath in the dark, and no one knew how heavy this oath would be.

The Qin army was still patrolling, but they didn't know that there were two figures, right under their noses, slipping into Mangdang Mountain.
