The rain had stopped since last night, and the fog in the mountains had come and gone, and now it had dispersed.

There was a clammy chill in the air.

After saying goodbye to the old peach tree, the three of them went to the ferry, there was a small boat on the stream, Baitang had built a lot of bamboo rafts and wooden boats in the past few decades, but the wind and sun, rain and frost, rotted and dismembered a lot, and almost never survived.

This wooden boat was found by Bai Tang in the bushes by the pond at the end of the creek, it was taken by Yun Ze every time he came back, Bai Tang studied it carefully for many years, I really don't know why this wooden boat will not rot and immortal for thousands of years, and the wood used is not exquisite, he ran all over the mountains and fields for this reason, and never found this kind of wood. In the end, he took possession of the canoe very unnoticedly.

Bai Tang carried the burden full of red bean fruits, slightly panting, turned his head to look at the small branch carrying the bamboo basket, the tender green lined the small branch The whole person was a lot more energetic, and Bai Tang's heart was a pain.

Fortunately, he grinded Xiao Peng for a long time, and Xiao Peng finally remembered that he had made a crutch many years ago, which should have been done after climbing the cliff behind the mountain and falling down and injuring his leg. I searched all over the house, and finally found it in the thatched house.

The whole body of the green bamboo cane, even the bamboo knot without a trace of variegation, after Bai Tang washed three times, as a treasure in the hand, although the magic of this bamboo cane has not been found yet, but he believes, this is definitely a treasure.

The sister and brother, who had never been separated, stood wordless at each other for a moment, their eyes full of reluctance.

Xiao Peng's eyes were slightly red, and he finally held back his tears.

Bai Tang patted Xiao Peng's shoulder, said cherished, and took the lead in stepping on the boat and untying the rope tied to the stake.

Xiaozhi explained a few more words before getting on the boat.

Bai Tang supported the bamboo pole hard, the boat rowed out far away, it rained for more than half a month, the stream was turbid and fast, but Bai Tang was not struggling, the boat moved forward steadily.

Until Xiaozhou was about to disappear at the bend of the valley, he suddenly heard Xiao Peng shouting: "Sister, you must come back." ”

Twig squeezed out a smile and waved at him, motioning for him to go back.

The boat traveled for less than an hour, and came to the deep pool blocked by the mountain rocks, although it was late autumn, the trees by the pond were still lush and green, and did not show a declining trend. Xiao Zhi held a handkerchief stained with Xiao Peng's blood in his hand and asked, "Uncle Bai, are you sure it's here?"

Bai Tang didn't answer the rhetorical question, and said, "Take a closer look, what's wrong here?"

Except that the tree was a little more vibrant than the rest of the place, and the stone was a little darker than the rest of the place, the twigs didn't see anything wrong.

"You look at the water. ”

Xiaozhi looked down at the green pool, and after a while, he wondered: "This boat is on the water, why is there no ripple at all?"

"You're just too lazy to spend your days in the valley. When I first arrived, I noticed that there was something strange about this pool, don't you think it's not like water, it's more like a mirror?"

After Bai Tang finished speaking, he poked the water with his finger, and continued: "It's just that when I jumped down and found that it was really just a pool of water, it almost suffocated me." ”

Twig: "......"

"However, there must be something strange in this water, I think the exit of the enchantment is here, don't you say that Yun Ze comes back with this boat every time, it means that the place where he came back is related to the water. You wait, I'll go underwater and have a look. ”

Bai Tang said, put down his baggage, and prepared to jump into the water.

Xiaozhi stopped him and said, "Let's go down together, in case you find the exit of the enchantment and go out, where will I find you." ”

When Bai Tang heard that it made sense, he grabbed Xiaozhi's hand and said, "Hold on, let's jump together." After speaking, he pulled the twig and jumped into the water, the boat shook a few times, and the water was still calm and waveless.

Before Xiaozhi could hold his breath, he was dragged into the water by Bai Tang, and scolded in his heart, thinking that he would choke on a few mouthfuls of water. It's just that before she was ready to choke on water, it was already dark in front of her.

Bai Tang held back a breath of old air, and was just about to dive to the bottom of the water, when he suddenly felt his hand loosen, and when he turned his head, he saw that a mouthful of water choked directly from his throat to his internal organs.

Where is there anyone behind him, from the water can clearly see a small boat across the water, but the small branch seems to have disappeared out of thin air, Bai Tang hurriedly swam to the water, picked up on the side of the boat, coughed violently, looked around, empty mountains and forests, secluded deep pools, the person who was holding hands just now, but it was gone.

Bai Tang shouted a few times, but no one answered, the mountains and forests were quiet, except for his own echo, he couldn't even hear the cries of birds.

It was getting late, and Bai Tang sat in the boat, soaking wet, and extremely depressed.

promised Xiaopeng again and again that he would take care of Xiaozhi, but before he went out, he lost people. I don't know if Xiaozhi has gone out, she has never left Huilongshan, she is alone, she is not familiar with the world, and she suddenly arrived at the tiger wolf's den, she must be very afraid.

But how did she get out?

Bai Tang was puzzled, but his stomach began to growl. He glanced at the coarse cloth baggage, revealing some red bean fruits in it, thinking that it was picked by Xiao Peng's injury, and his heart was even more unpleasant.

His heart was uncomfortable, but his stomach couldn't bear it, especially in front of the red bean fruit, he thought about it, and still reached out and took the burden.

As soon as he opened the baggage, a piece of cloth slid out as the red bean fruit slid out, and Bai Tang picked it up and saw that it was the blood-stained handkerchief.

Bai Tang was stunned, and patted his head, how could he forget this stubble.

I only cared about going to the water to check before, but I forgot about such an important object, Xiaozhi must have had a handkerchief on his body when he went into the water, so he went out of the enchantment, and he ...... Thinking of this, Bai Tang couldn't wait to slap himself.

He didn't care about eating, he stuffed the handkerchief into his arms, tied the burden in a knot, leaned on his back, held the green bamboo battle, held his breath again, and jumped into the water.

......

Xiao Peng stood at the ferry until it was dark, and did not go back until he could see nothing. The taro followed behind him, the fiery red cockscomb drooping, and there was no longer the arrogant posture of the past. One person and one chicken, slowly walking in the dark night.
