After a glance at the sky, it was not yet noon, and it would take about an hour to walk back, and there was still plenty of time.

Xin Nianyan said again: "After an hour, whether you find it or not, you will come here to meet." ”

The three people behind him gave up their orders and led their horses to the trees behind them to bolt them to prevent them from eating poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers, and then they scattered.

Xin Nianyan raised his hand and pulled out the dagger on his waist, the cold light was cold, and Ning Wuji beside him couldn't help but take a second look.

"Good stuff, where did it come from?" Ning Wuji asked.

"The prince gave it." Xin Nianyan turned his wrist and looked at the curved blade in his hand, looking very satisfied.

"Tsk, I'm not going to ask." Ning Wuji rolled his eyes and turned around to leave, but saw Xin Nianyan pacing towards the river.

"What are you doing?" Ning Wuji hurriedly stopped her.

Xin Nianyan pointed to the opposite bank that was about ten meters wide, and said, "You are all looking here, do you have to go to the other side of the river to have a look?" ”

Ning Wuji thought about it and felt reasonable, but how to get over it was a problem.

Even if Xin Nianyan knows some light body kung fu, he can't jump over such a wide river.

"You're not afraid of water, can you, can you swim?" Xin Nianyan joked with him a little ridiculously.

"Except for martial arts, I don't have anything else that I can't do."

Ning Wuji glanced at her with extreme disdain.

Xin Nianyan: "......"

She didn't have to answer in such detail, she didn't really want to know.

"But it's so cold now, it's better not to go into the water, and if you don't freeze, you have to peel off your skin."

Ning Wuji glanced at the river and made a pertinent suggestion.

Xin Nianyan didn't care to glance at him, "Who said I was going into the water?" ”

This made Ning Wuji a little puzzled, curious about how Xin Nianyan planned to cross the river.

Xin Nianyan ignored him, looked sideways at the bamboo forest on the other side, and stepped over to stop under a green bamboo.

She glanced at the knife in her hand, thought for a moment and withdrew it from its scabbard, and took a long sword from her horse's bag.

Ning Wuji didn't move, he wanted to see what this girl was going to do.

I saw her move neatly and neatly, and the sword in her hand was like cutting tofu, cutting a green bamboo diagonally.

The bamboo fell, Xin Nianyan took his head and sharpened it, and in a blink of an eye, the excess branches were cleaned.

Ning Wuji raised his eyebrows, "You can't set up a bamboo raft to go over, right?" ”

"That's not it, it's too much work."

As he spoke, Xin Nianyan cut down another slender bamboo, cut off the excess branches and leaves, and checked it in his hand.

Then Ning Wuji saw her dragging a green bamboo with the thickness of a bowl mouth to the river.

"Sir, have you ever heard of a reed crossing the river?"

Xin Nianyan put the direction of the bamboo facing the river, and stepped on it with his feet.

"You ......" Ning Wuji was shocked for a while, but saw her standing firmly on the bamboo, holding the bamboo pole in both hands against the river bank and floating towards the opposite side.

"I don't cross the river with a reed, but I can barely get by with a single bamboo."

Xin Nianyan said as she plunged her long slender bamboo pole into the bottom of the water and pushed herself across the river on crutches.

The place where she lived when she was a child was the land of fish and rice, and the master sometimes went out to go far and no one took care of it, so it was easy to starve, and it was daily for her to go down to the river to fish, so it was not surprising that she had such a skill.

In fact, because she was swept away by the flood, she was still afraid of the water for a long time, if it wasn't for her senior brother to save her, she was afraid that now she didn't know which riverbed would have been washed into mud and sand.

Later, in order to prevent such a situation from happening again, she forced herself to go into the water and learn to swim.

After all, Senior Brother won't be by her side all the time.

Xin Nianyan held a bamboo pole upside down in her hand to the bottom of the water, pushing her to the other side little by little, but she remembered someone she hadn't remembered for a long, long time.

She was there when she was about five or six years old, and her brother left, and she doesn't even remember what he looked like now.

I only vaguely remember that he was a very gentle boy who would smile and touch her head and take her to catch fish and butterflies.

Ning Wuji just watched her cross the river stepping on a bamboo, and sighed a little that this little girl always makes people shine in some unexpected places.

After seeing her ashore, he turned around and began to explore around.

Xin Nianyan put away the two bamboo poles, kicked them into the grass, took out a handful of medicinal powder from the bag, scattered them all over his body, and then sprinkled them into the grass.

There is not much difference between the other side of the river and the other side, the same ground is full of exotic flowers and plants, and there is a limei technique crawling with inchworms.

Xin Nianyan began to look for it by the river around the plum tree, picked a slender branch and cut it down, and held the branch to explore everywhere.

It stands to reason that there shouldn't be snakes in this season, but this ghost place is too strange to be divided by a regular climate.

The Liuchuan River is like an oasis in the desert, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge, so it is not surprising that this kind of place grows anything.

She explored the riverbank for a long time, but found nothing but the occasional poisonous snake and poisonous insect, and a nest of bird eggs hidden in the grass.

Just as she was about to return home at the appointed time, she saw a slope.

A gust of wind blew in your face, carrying with it a scorching rancid smell.
