Chapter 22: Discovery of Hot Springs (1)

The cravings in her stomach were immediately triggered. "Aunt Chen, can you eat those fruits?"

Lin Chen didn't know when she brought her grandson behind her, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "Of course you can eat it." ”

Ye Mengmeng clapped her hands and cheered, lifted her skirt and ran over.

Ye Chengxuan hurriedly shouted: "Little sister, be careful, don't fall." ”

Lin Chen hurriedly ordered his grandson Shi to follow.

There are not too many wild fruits in the mountain col, and Ye Mengmeng hummed while picking wild fruits.

Stone is a half-grown boy. The children in the countryside, born strong and tiger-headed, heard Ye Mengmeng's tune, and couldn't help but purse their mouths and secretly laugh. I thought to myself, this eldest lady is much more interesting than the third lady last time, the third young lady is delicate and quiet, as if a gust of wind will blow her away......

"Stone, how old are you?" Ye Mengmeng saw that this little boy was always looking at her secretly with his eyes, and he was secretly funny.

"Back to ...... Miss Hui, I am nine years old this year. ”

"Nine years old, huh? Did you go to school? ”

"Going to school? There is no ......," Stone scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Oh, you don't go to school, how do you usually play?"

"Hmm...... On weekdays, I usually follow my father and eldest brother to farm, or go into the mountains to hunt. ”

"Really?" Ye Mengmeng threw a fruit into her mouth, glanced at the stone, and her eyes were full of envy. "Well, if only I were as free as you!"

The stone "fluttered" and smiled: "Miss is really funny, what's so good about this mountain?" If you want me to say, it's good for the people in the city, I am arguing that my father will take me to the capital to play, but my father is always not allowed to ......."

Ye Mengmeng smiled: "There is nothing interesting in the capital, just a few things, it will be boring when you get tired of playing." ”

"Mademoiselle is right."

The two talked while picking fruits, and before they knew it, they were getting farther and farther away.

Suddenly they came to a cave, and the two stopped.

The entrance to the cave is not large, only one person can enter, and a stream flows out of the hole.

Ye Mengmeng took a deep breath and frowned: "Stone, there is a strange smell, do you smell it?" ”

Shi said: "I have smelled it for a long time, miss, the water here is hot, don't believe you touch it?" ”

"Hot?"

Ye Mengmeng's heart moved, and she hurriedly bent down and put her hand into the stream. That's right, the water is really hot!

She became suspicious and looked up into the cave. It's dark inside. I had the heart to go in and take a look, so I turned to the stone and said, "You just wait for me at the entrance of the cave, I'll go in and see what's inside......"

Shi Deng's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Little ...... Miss, you're going to the hole? ”

"yes, I want to go in and see what's inside, the water is a little weird."

"Miss, you must not go in, I heard that there are ghosts inside...... "The stone face turned white.

Ye Mengmeng laughed: "Where are the ghosts?" It's all a lie. ”

"Really, miss, don't you believe me? Several people have drowned in it before......"

"Oh, is it? Then I'm going to have to go in and take a look. Ye Mengmeng said as she raised her foot and stepped in.

"Miss, Miss......"

The stone was in a hurry. What a strange lady is, what is there to see about the dead? Seeing that the young lady had already entered, she had no choice but to follow.

"What are you doing with me? You're not afraid of ghosts anymore? Ye Mengmeng is a little funny.

"Miss is not afraid, I ...... I'm a big man, can I still be afraid? "The stone chest is straight.

Ye Mengmeng snorted, but it didn't hit him.

The two walked towards the cave as they spoke.

Although Shi said that he was not afraid, he was actually quite nervous, and he followed closely behind the young lady, not daring to pull too open.

The cave became narrower and narrower, and after walking for a while, the road suddenly broke off, and a deep pond of great width appeared, and green smoke rose from the surface of the pond, and the whole cave was filled with a strong smell of sulfur.

Ye Mengmeng was stunned, and said to herself: "I didn't expect that this is a natural hot spring!" She turned to the boy and asked, "Stone, do you know how to drink water?" ”

Stone shook his head in horror.

"Okay, you just wait for me here, I'll go into the water and see ......"

"Into the water?" The stone was so frightened that his face changed color, and he stammered, "Little ...... Miss, you, what do you want to do? ”

I don't want to do anything, I just want to go down and see where this water comes from and where it goes. ’

"No...... "The stone grabbed her sleeve and almost cried." Good young lady, you can pity the poor stone, if you have anything to do, my father and father will bury me alive......"

"Wouldn't it? Don't worry, I'm a good waterman, and I've won a championship before......"

“…… No, miss, if you really want to drink water, you have to wait until the son comes. The stone said nothing and wouldn't let go.

Ye Mengmeng straightened her face and said, "Stone, if you don't let go, I'm going to be angry, Miss!"

The stone had to let go of his hand, but the circles under his eyes were red.

Ye Mengmeng comforted: "Don't worry, I'll come out in a while." Stone, if this pool is really the same as I think, then your young lady and I will make a fortune in the future, haha! ”

In Nanchu, people don't know about hot springs, if there is really a hot spring hidden here, and then develop it to build a hot spring city, then in the future, will she be able to make a fortune and become a rich woman?

Haha, when she thought of this, she was so happy that she almost wanted to dance.

But Stone didn't care about making a fortune now, he only knew that the pool was full of dangers. But he couldn't stop the young lady, so he had to watch the young lady take off her coat and jump into the water.

The pool made a loud "thump". The stone was careful and his liver shuddered. Land King Bodhisattva, Miss really jumped down?

At the beginning, in order to reassure the stone, Ye Mengmeng popped up after a while and beckoned to him, indicating that he was safe.

Seeing that she was very skilled in swimming, Shi felt a little relieved, and sat down on a big rock, but he didn't dare to take his eyes off for half a second, staring firmly at the pool surface.

After a while, the young lady did not show her head. Stone felt a little uneasy. After another cup of tea, there was still no young lady, and the stone was anxious to get up and walk around anxiously.

Until half an hour passed, the pool was still calm and there was no movement at all.

Poor stone had no choice but to wipe his tears and run out of the cave with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

It just so happened that Ye Chengxuan and Lin Chen also came to find it.

As soon as he heard that the young lady had fallen into that hot pool, Lin Chen was shocked.

Ye Chengxuan asked: "What hot pool?" ”

Shi said: "...... Only...... It's a big pool in the cave......"
