"Chunxiao, what are you still doing there?"

Su Qin, who helped the crown princess back, motioned for her to come over to help as soon as she saw Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi came back to his senses and hurriedly rushed over to support the princess from the other side.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"The sun is a little strong today's afternoon, and the mother is sick." Su Qin said: "You can massage Niangniang in a while." ”

"Yes." Xiao Qi responded with his mouth, but he secretly said it was not good in his heart.

At this time, Nanshu should have gone to the other side of the river, and it was too late for her to inform her.

In order to win the attention and recognition of the crown princess, Xiao Qi showed a good massage technique in front of the crown princess, and since then, the princess must let her massage her head whenever she has a headache or discomfort.

Looking at the frowning appearance of the crown princess now, Xiao Qi estimated that he would not be able to get out for a while.

……

Besides, Nanshu, I've been waiting over there for more than an hour, but I still haven't seen Xiao Qi coming.

Seeing that if she waited any longer, the sun would set, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Xiao Qi couldn't remember the wrong time, he didn't come, he could only be stumped by things.

Wait any longer, and it will probably be dark.

It was not easy to get rid of Yinyu and come out, and the river was in front of her, so she would never have retreated at this time.

Nanshu took a deep breath, and walked towards the river alone, with heavy but firm steps.

Before she could get closer, she heard the murmuring of water in front of her.

The river meanders down the mountain, and the water flows at different levels as it follows the mountain, making the river slightly rapid and invisible.

There was no one around except her, so empty that only the sound of gurgling water remained, Nanshu stood by the river, looking at the river in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but be a little nervous.

However, for the sake of the task, she can only bite the bullet.

To be on the safe side, she decided to find a place near the river where the water level is shallowest and lie down, as long as the water level reaches the mouth of her heart, it will be over.

The river is also uneven, and there are rocks of all sizes along the river.

Nanshu observed the river for a long time, and finally chose a place where the water level was not above his knees.

Once the location was determined, she placed the small bag with a clean change of clothes hidden under the cloak on the rock, and then untied the cloak and put it on top.

"Fuzi, I'm ready to go into the water."

[Okay.] 】

Nan Shu took off her shoes and went barefoot, but she went into the water without reducing the clothes on her body, as if she could have a sense of security in this way.

The water flowing down the mountain was very cold, and the cold spread from the soles of her feet, and Nan Shu shivered for no reason.

After taking a deep breath, she slowly fell into the water, her hands tightly propped under the water, trying to let her body lie flat in the water, however, her neck was stretched straight on the water, and she was stunned to not let her head get a little water.

Less than three seconds after crouching, she couldn't wait to ask Fuzi, "Is it okay?" ”

[Wait, are you supposed to be a ...... The pose of a duck floating in the water, right? 】

"What kind of duck floating, is that how you describe it?"

Nan Shu was so angry that she got up directly from the water: "I can test it for you, do you still have to pick someone else's posture to go into the water?" ”

[No, I don't mean to laugh at you, but the problem is that you are in such a posture...... I really can't detect it. 】

“……”

Fukuko explained: "Mainly because the depth of the water is not deep enough, it is difficult for me to sense the texture of the water. 】

After Nanshu stood up, her body was already soaked, and she was already cold when the mountain wind blew in her face, and when she heard this, she suddenly even felt half cold.

"So, I have to go to a location in deeper water?"

[Because you are just lying on the surface of the water, the range of water in front of and behind the heart position is not wide enough. You have to stand in the water and let the place of your heart be submerged in the water, so that I can feel the water in all directions. 】

Where the water is submerged in the heart?

Nanshu's body instantly stiffened.

The surroundings were desolate and uninhabited, and looking at the bottomless water in the middle of the river, she was really a little stage frightened.

Although she is not afraid of the six gods when she sees water, her fear of deep water is still difficult to suppress, especially when there is no one else.

Originally, with Xiao Qi here, she could have the courage to go, but now she is the only one......

"That's it...... Is there a way not to go to the deep sea? She couldn't help but discuss it with Fuzi.

Fuzi was silent for a while, [Then do you want to...... Do you find a water level to about your waist and crouch down to let the water run through your chest? 】

As soon as she heard this, Nan Shu's heart was overjoyed.

Although the position of the waist and chest is not far from the human body, if it is calculated on the water line, the difference and meaning are very different.

The higher the water level, the lower the pressure on the lower limbs, and at the same time, the greater the traction and resistance of the water to the person.

The point is, the deeper the water, the greater her fear.

"You mean I just need to find a position where I can squat over my chest?"

We can try it this way. Fukuko doesn't want her to have an accident.

Hearing this, Nan Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

She had just observed the river's movements.

Because the river is down from the mountains, the water upstream is shallow and gentle.

The downstream water flow is relatively fast and steep, so even the water on the shore downstream is deeper than the upstream.

Nanshu weighed it and felt that it would be safer to find a suitable water level on the shore downstream than to go to the deep water area in the center.

After all, on the shore, she still leaned against the rocks for support, which was much safer than in the middle of the river, which did not land everywhere.

After making up her mind, Nan Shu wrung the water on her clothes and went downstream.

Halfway through, I picked up a dry branch and looked for a suitable spot for the water level along the shore of different heights downstream.

Finally, she stopped beside a large rock.

She measured it with a twig, and the water here should be just up to her waist, and it looked like it was perfect for entering the water.

What's more, further down was a winding rapid, and she didn't dare to go any further.

Touching the reliable big rock, Nan Shu gritted her teeth and said in her heart: That's it, hurry up and leave quickly.

"Fuzi, I'm going down."

[Okay.] 】

Nan Shu clenched the protruding place of the rock with both hands, and steadied herself before slowly entering the water.

The water was still shivering, and by the time Nanshu's feet fell to the bottom, the water level had already reached her waistline.

The next moment, she took a deep breath, and was about to go down when she suddenly felt as if something slippery was wrapping around her feet on the soles of her feet.

The slippery feeling made her first reaction - snake.

And snakes are the animals she fears the most.

"Ahh

The sudden situation made Nanshu, who was already extremely nervous, scream in fright.

The thought of a snake entangled her foot under the water gave her a creepy twist, and before her head could give a command, her foot kept kicking and kicking, and quickly ducked out.
