Chapter 22: The River
When Sifeng was very young, he was adopted by the Xiao family, and they followed Xiao Junyi to learn martial arts together, half-grown children, and there was no fun, going down to the river to bathe and catch fish was the favorite thing to do in summer, so, in addition to the strong wind that naturally does not like water, the other few are very good.
As for the sons of families like Xiao Junyi and Duan Yunqian, they can do water, but the water nature is not as good as the four winds and Ye Ming, because they have too many etiquette rules to follow, and it is impossible to be allowed to take off their clothes and go to the water to catch fish in the water in the summer like the four winds.
"Miss Ning Yao asked everyone how the water is and what is the purpose?" Du Xingheng asked.
Ning Yao pointed to the map: "At the door of Du's house, there is a river, this river, up and down can lead to the outside of the city, but up, not far from the city is the city of Xiling, so it is not recommended to go upstream, but down, you see, after leaving the city, continue to move forward, the river will pass between these two mountains, and this mountain also belongs to the branch of Jiuju Mountain, we go ashore from here, turn over these two peaks, it is the boundary of Nanjing, Tongyuan City." ”
And it is very coincidental that Tongyuan City, where the mountain is located from this location, is where Xiao Dong's Jirentang is located, and she enters Jiuzhong Mountain from the other end of Tongyuan and returns to Taoyuan Village, which is also the closest.
Jing Ning Yao explained while pointing and drawing on the map, and everyone understood.
Du Xingheng said: "No matter day or night in the city, there are people patrolling back and forth, and now the weather is cold, and some people are swimming in the river, even if it is late at night, it will also attract attention, not to mention not only in the city, but also within a radius of several miles after leaving the city, there are Xiling officers and soldiers stationed to patrol." ”
Xiao Junyi had thought of the method of taking the waterway before, but there was no suitable plan, so he denied it.
"It's not water, it's diving, your backyard, planted a lot of bamboo, select a few strong, suitable shape to come out, hollow out the bamboo in the middle, people dive into the water, when ventilating, don't have to surface, just use bamboo poles for ventilation, so that the movement on the water is not big, plus the night as a cover, the people on the shore, it is not easy to find us, after leaving the city, don't be in a hurry to get up, still use sneaking, wait until you reach a safe place, and then surface is."
Xiao Junyi's eyes lit up, and the other people were also happy after understanding Mu Ningyao's words, according to this method, if it goes well, it can be said that there will be no casualties.
Du Xingheng was a little worried: "Along the river, all the way out of the city, the carriage will take half an hour, if it passes through the water, it will take longer, such a cold spring weather, normal people like us have been soaked in the water for so long, we can still persevere, but Duan Gongzi, I'm afraid the body will not be able to bear it." ”
"Me too!" Duan Yunqian said that Jun Yi rescued him from the Xiling Palace and took him all the way to Mojiang, and now there is a way for everyone to stop being injured, he is a big man, with thick skin and thick meat, what can't he insist on!
Ning Yao looked at Duan Yunqian: "This season, the water in the river is close to freezing, with your current physical condition, it is indeed a little difficult, I also have a pill to protect the heart and pulse, you took it before you went into the water, and it should be no problem to hold on until you go ashore, and when you go ashore, I will give you treatment." ”
"You're going to go into the water with everyone too?" Du Xingheng asked.
Ning Yao nodded: "I've been out for many days, and if I don't go back, my family will be worried." Duan Gongzi's injuries have not healed, the river is so icy, the distance is so long, with me, the doctor, accompanying him, in case of any situation, it is easy to deal with it. ”
