The two of us ran down the street and found another mountain path winding its way underfoot.

I don't know where the path leads, but the villagers who ran over are gone. There was no other path here, and apparently they just followed it.

Without thinking, I continued to chase along the path with the fat sea.

The path is overgrown with weeds on both sides, and looking at the surrounding environment, it is very barren.

We chased out a few hundred meters, and suddenly we saw a figure shaking in front of us in the distance.

I didn't dare to chase too closely, so I pulled the fat sea into the grass next to me. The grass was more than half a man's height, and the two of us crouched down, just enough to block our bodies.

We crouched inside and slowly approached the front.

After moving forward for a few dozen meters, suddenly there was a rush of water.

There was the sound of water moving, and there was the sound of two people talking.

I listened quietly, and the voices were one man and one woman.

I heard the woman speak first: "Have you succeeded?" ”

The man replied: "Not yet, this matter is not urgent." ”

"If you want me to say, why are you going through all the effort? Just catch that kid and search for it. ”

"No, I can't. You forget, it's useless to just get that thing, there's one more step. Now he trusts me a lot, give me some time and I'll get things sorted out...... Okay, the ship is coming, let's go. ”

The two of them asked and answered, and the content sounded like it was related to me. And the voices of these two people are very familiar to me, the man seems to be Xu Dongyang, and the woman is the old lady Xu Meilu.

After the two of them finished speaking, they listened to the footsteps and walked away.

The two of us came out of the grass and chased forward, and sure enough, we found a small river in front of us.

I don't know where the river came from, it's not very wide, but the current is very fast. The sound of the water we just heard should come from here.

Fat Dahai reminded me: "Boss, look, there is a boat coming down from above. ”

At this time, a wooden boat floated down from the upstream along the current.

I thought that when Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu were leaving, they said just now, the boat is coming. And now they were not at the river, apparently going downstream in wooden boats.

But why is there another boat up there? Is there anyone else on board?

I looked around, but I didn't see anyone else, so I pulled the fat sea and prepared to get on board.

Fat Dahai grabbed me: "Boss, you can think about it." I don't know where I'm going to go down in a boat, and I'm afraid it's hard to come back when the time comes. ”

I nodded, "No matter." If we don't get into the tiger's den, we can take this risk today than being kept in the dark and playing foolish. ”

The reason why I say this is because I heard the conversation between Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu, the meaning of Xu Dongyang's words, the reason why he was close to me and secretly helped me was not out of benevolence, not to repay my grandfather, but also for personal gain. It seems to want something from me. When I first entered the village, they shouted for relief. From this, it is not difficult to speculate that they should have encountered some difficulties or predicaments.

Only my arrival will help them out of their predicament.

They are all scheming on me, but what can I have? It's a pity that the conversation between Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu didn't last long. So much so that I was still ignorant, and if I wanted to find out the truth, I had to take the risk of this trip.

The boat soon approached us, and the fat sea came forward to grab the boatman, and the two of us got into the wooden boat.

The wooden boat had two oars in it, but the boat did not use oars, and drifted downstream by itself.

The two of us sat on the boat and looked around. The scenery on the shore quickly passed by, and no one noticed us.

As I sat in the boat, I shuddered, and a chill came up from under the water.

I noticed that on the hull of the wooden boat, there was a layer of hoarfrost.

I reached into the water and tested the temperature of the river. As a result, the water was bitterly cold, and it hurt as if the hand had been pricked by a needle.

I quickly retracted my hand and fought two more cold wars in a row.

And the boat, after drifting down the river for some distance, the river became wider and wider. A towering mountain appeared ahead. Since it was night, the mountain peak was not really visible, only a dark patch.

And the little boat, which had no intention of stopping, went straight to the peak of the mountain at a fast speed.

The speed of the boat became faster and faster, and Fat Dahai and I couldn't help but grab the boat gang, and our hearts began to get nervous.

At the speed of that small boat, if it crashed into a mountain, it would inevitably end up with a shipwreck.

But at this speed, we can't abandon the boat and go ashore, not to mention that the river is already much wider, and even if we get off the boat, we can only go to the water, and the temperature of the water can instantly freeze us into popsicles. We could only watch as the ship went straight by.

When the boat rushed to the vicinity of the mountain, we frantically shone our flashlight on it, only to find that under the mountain, there was a small waterfall, which was rushing straight down and splashing in all directions. The curtain of water poured down with a rumbling sound.

The wooden boat we were in was hit by the current and crashed into the water curtain.

Fat Dahai and I couldn't help but scream, thinking that the boat would definitely crash into the mountain when it passed through the water curtain.

Who knew that after the boat hit the water curtain, the mountain behind the water curtain turned out to be empty.

Our boat followed the river, through the curtain of water, and directly into the mountain.

After the curtain of water, it suddenly became calm. The surface of the water is as clear and calm as the lake. Our boat was like a lonely boat, floating on the water.

We used our flashlights to shine around, and there was a pitch-black mountain on all sides, and below it was a river that stretched to the innermost part of the mountain. There is a cave here.

"Fatty, with an oar." I reminded the fat sea, each with a wooden oar, paddling forward.

Fat Dahai and I each paddled forward with all our might, intending to paddle the boat deeper into the cave. But it didn't take the two of us a few strokes to see the problem.

Our oars couldn't paddle in the water, as if we had stirred up the paste with our oars, and as if something was tangling the oars in the water.

But we put wood

The oar was brought up, but nothing was found, and the water was very clear, and through the water, there was nothing strange underneath.

This is really strange, before us, there should be a boat driven by Xu Dongyang and Xu Meilu to come here. Their ship was gone, apparently far away. So how do they row the boat?

Fat Dahai did not believe in evil, and once again stretched the wooden paddle into the water and paddled hard. The wooden boat had gone a few meters forward, and he was so tired that he was sweating. The paddle is still heavy in the water, and it takes a lot of effort to move it.

"It's really evil, what's weird in this water?" Fat Dahai cursed, threw the wooden oar on the boat, and sat down himself, gasping for air.

"Something is wrong, fatty, look at this wooden oar." I suddenly noticed something unusual about the wooden paddle, and quickly alerted Fat Dahai to take a look.
