Chapter 174: Osmanthus Valley

"I want to go to the Hanbo Cave to have a look!" Wu Liang looked at the depths of the Osmanthus Valley. He didn't want to waste a year here.

"I, I'll take you!" Xiao Xin ran to Wu Liang's side.

"Xiao Xin!" the woman in white shouted.

"Let's go!" Grandma finished speaking, and pulled the woman in white away.

Wu Liang followed Xiao Xin in the direction of the Cold Wave Cave. Xiao Xin was bouncing along the way, which reminded Wu Liang of Liao Fanfan again. His heart was inexplicably sour.

They turned a mountain col and saw a pool of water in front of them.

"What's your name?" asked Xiao Xin with big mischievous eyes.

"Wu Liang!"

"My name is Xiao Xin! My sister is Feng Niang!" Xiao Xin said happily.

"Is this pool deep?" Wu Liang began to undress.

"You can't go down! This pool of water is like a bottomless pit! My eighth uncle went down and never came up again. He's the best in the valley!" Xiao Xin jumped over and pressed Wu Liang's hand. The death of the eighth uncle made Xiao Xin experience what grief is and what death is. Until then she was happy and carefree!

"It's out of the way! I'm very good at water!" Wu Liang continued to strip.

"Wow", Xiao Xin cried. This reminded Wu Liang of Jiabao. His heart was sour, and tears almost fell.

"Okay, I'm not going down!" Wu Liang put on his clothes again. Xiao Xin stopped crying.

Xiao Xin took Wu Liang to the place where they lived. Wu Liang made a rough calculation all the way, and there were only about 200 residents in Osmanthus Valley. Xiao Xin's yard is very large and there are many houses. Wu Liang was placed in a guest room upstairs on a two-story building. This room was empty and there was nothing. Xiao Xin and a young man brought a mattress and a futon. Wu Liang lay on the bed he had just made and fell asleep. He was so tired.

When Wu Liang woke up, it was already dark. He walked outside and saw Xiao Xin sitting on the floor slab at the door. She has a basket by her side.

"Are you awake, eat quickly! It's cold!" Xiao Xin handed the food basket to Wu Liang. Wu Liang said gratefully: "Thank you!" Xiao Xin left happily. Wu Liang hurriedly ate some and went to the roof. He planned to explore the cold pool at night. As he was walking through the roof, a powerful force forced him into the courtyard.

"Grandma?" Wu Liang saw Xiao Xin's grandmother and then fell to the ground.

"Are you going to Hantan to die?" the old man was very excited.

"No! I'm just going to take a look!" Wu Liang said weakly. He knew that the eighth uncle Xiao Xin was talking about was his grandmother's eighth son.

"My old man is the best! He didn't even come up!" Grandma's voice trembled a little.

"I don't want to stay here for a year! I want to find the book to save my master!" Wu Liang raised his head, his eyes shining, his gaze was determined.

"If you can't come up, isn't your master dead?" continued to persuade Grandma. She treats Wu Liang as her grandchild. She couldn't bear to let Wu Liang follow in her son's footsteps.

"I'll be careful!" Wu Liang knew that Xiao Xin's grandmother was kind. But he really couldn't make the master wait a year.

"It's a water droplet. Come, I'll tell you how to avoid water!" Grandma held a pea-sized sea-blue bead in her hand.

Wu Liang took the water-repellent bead and hung it around his neck. He memorized the trick of avoiding water, and then went to Hantan. The water in the pool is even more unfathomable in the dark night. Wu Liang took off his shirt and pants, and jumped off the cold pool with only underwear. The pool water was cold and biting, Wu Liang floated out, took a deep breath and dived in again.

This cold pool is really deep, and Wu Liang dives dozens of meters without bottoming. He silently recited the trick to avoid water and continued to dive. At this time, he felt the pressure of the water increase invisibly. Senior sister will not be afraid of this water! Wu Liang's chest was a little panicked. He steadied himself and continued downstream. Some glowing fish appeared. They swam freely, seemingly ignoring Wu Liang. Wu Liang saw some large dark stone walls through the light. Wu Liang used the stealth technique and the earth escape technique, but he couldn't get in.

This is strange! Could it be that my spell is not good in this cold pool? Wu Liang withdrew his spell and continued to swim forward. His eyes were dark again. Those glowing fish are not visible here. Could it be that there is something strange here? Wu Liang continued to swim, and suddenly, a powerful force pulled him towards the whirlpool at the bottom of the pool. The vortex was like a giant black hole that could tear everything apart.

Wu Liang used the body technique of a jack pendant to slow down his figure. However, the power of the powerful vortex made it impossible for Wu Liang to escape. At this time, Wu Liang felt that his arm was entangled in a chain. He didn't bother to check where the chain came from, and with the power of the chain he came out of the whirlpool. When he swam to those dark stone walls, he realized that Feng Niang had saved him. Feng Niang didn't look at Wu Liang either, and pulled him upstream. Wu Liang followed Feng Niang out of the cold pool.

"Untie it!" Wu Liang wiped a handful of water droplets on his face and said to Feng Niang. He wanted to get dressed, but he felt too cold.

"Can't untie it!" Feng Niang pulled him forward. Wu Liang grabbed his clothes and pants and staggered forward. Feng Niang walked too fast, and Wu Liang followed her back to the courtyard almost at a trot.

"I'm back!" Grandma stood in the courtyard.

"Grandma, help untie it!" Feng Niang's lips were blue and her voice trembled slightly. Wu Liang looked at Feng Niang gratefully. Grandma's hand leaned Wu Liang and Feng Niang's hands together. Then she recited the unlocking spell, and the chains opened. Feng Niang disappeared in a flash. Wu Liang also ran upstairs to his room.

Wu Liang changed his clothes and pants, only to find Xiao Xin lying on his bunk asleep. Could it be that this kid has been waiting for himself for a night? Wu Liang looked up at the already white sky and thought.

A gust of wind blew into the house, and Wu Liang couldn't help but sneeze. He got up and closed the window, then went to his bunk and lay down.

Wu Liang fell asleep without a cover because of the cold. So he suffered from wind chills, hot and cold. Xiao Xin decocted, boiled and fed him medicine day and night. It took half a month for Wu Liang to get better. But Xiao Xin lost a lot of weight.

"Thank you for taking care of you!" Wu Liang said weakly. His heart was so grateful to this girl.

"I'm out of the way!Just rest for a few days!Come!Just take the last medicine!" Xiao Xin fed Wu Liang the medicine like a little adult. Wu Liang took the bowl and drank it. The medicine was a little bitter, Wu Liang frowned and stuck out his tongue.

"Hey!" Xiao Xin looked at Wu Liang's strange appearance and smiled and went out with the bowl.

"Grandma!" Wu Liang looked up and saw his grandmother appear at the door.

"How's the situation at the bottom of the pool?" the grandmother's eyes were full of hope as she just walked into the door.

"There's a huge whirlpool there!No one can escape!" Wu Liang looked down at the ground. He didn't dare to look at his grandmother's expression. In fact, he didn't look at it, but he knew how desperate his grandmother was after hearing it, and how desolate and helpless her eyes were......
