Chapter 11: The Secret of the Black River Diversion

"Is there an answer there, what is the secret?" the princess looked at the tributaries going down the river and asked suspiciously, Xiao Ruoshui smiled mysteriously and said, "Maybe there is nothing, but maybe the answer is there." ”

The princess looked at Xiao Ruoshui with a look of disbelief, she had never heard of such a distance from the town and the people in the town could turn everyone in the town into day and night people, it was indeed an unbelievable thing. Xiao Ruoshui saw her doubts and disbelief, and did not explain. He untied the rope, jumped into the raft, beckoned to the princess Li Yunmeng, and shouted, "Come up, let's find the answer." The princess jumped on the raft and sat down. Xiao Ruoshui pulled the rope vigorously and dragged the raft to the opposite bank, he got off the raft, and the princess jumped down. Xiao Ruoshui untied the rope tied to the air hole, deflated the raft, folded it neatly, and then put it into the burden on the horse's back. Then he jumped on the horse and said to Li Yunmeng: "Let's go and see what secrets this river has." Li Yunmeng jumped on the horse and said to Xiao Ruoshui: "You don't care about this place?" Xiao Ruoshui shook his head when he heard it and said, "I almost forgot, I'll go and inform the patriarch of them." Then he took out a piece of paper from the package, wrote something, and then took out a white pigeon from the pigeon cage on horseback, stuffed the letter into the white pigeon's foot, and released the white pigeon with a wave of his hand. The princess watched the white dove fly in the direction of the Phoenix Set, and said curiously, "What did you write to them?" Xiao Ruoshui said: "I asked them to bring people here after dark to demolish the embankment, and then pile it up in the opposite direction." In this way, their feng shui can be slowly changed. However, the eye of the formation has still not been found, and it is not a real broken formation. It's just a game-breaker. Xiao Ruoshui urged him to go immediately. While answering the princess. The princess also urged the horse and said to Xiao Ruoshui: "The array eye has not been found, how can you leave it, can you bear to leave them?" Xiao Ruoshui sighed and said: "Now you can only remove the additional damage in the formation, the formation eye has not been found, although this array is a lot more powerful, but the array is still there, and it will still hurt the people of the Phoenix Collection, but there is a way, which is to destroy all the formations and make the effect of the formation eye smaller." That's what we're doing now. The princess said anxiously, "You promised others to help them." If you don't break the formation, you don't want to stay here, we can't delay for a long time. ”

"You mean our mission, I know that Brother Tuoba is in a hurry. But I can't help it right now. I can't watch thousands of people die in the Phoenix Collection. Xiao Ruoshui said solemnly. The princess said, "Either we will finish the task first." Come back and help them again?" Xiao Ruoshui smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid not, you have also seen the patriarch's condition, and three of the four patriarchs are ulcerated all over their bodies." I'm afraid it won't last long, people's lives are at stake, and the task of the division and the matter of finding spies are not in a hurry. The princess snorted and said, "How can a few little people compare the major affairs of the country with the major affairs of your division." Xiao Ruoshui's face darkened, and he said to the princess: "Don't press me with national affairs and division affairs in the future, these people are small people in your eyes, but in my Xiao Ruoshui's eyes, they are much more important than the country and the division, I myself am also a small person, not an important person, I don't want to hear you say this kind of thing in the future." The princess's face turned pale when she was reprimanded, and she pouted angrily, and she followed behind alone without saying a word. She has been a beauty since she was a child and dared to talk to her like this, but she did not refute after being reprimanded by Xiao Ruoshui, although she knew that she was wrong, but she would not admit her mistake, so she had to keep her head down and follow behind silently. Xiao Ruoshui also knew that he was talking a little heavily, but he didn't comfort the princess, he felt that although his tone was a little heavier, he hated this kind of attitude of being superior to the officials in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to the princess.

The two of them kept going up the river, and they didn't speak again along the way, Xiao Ruoshui was just carefully observing the diversion of this black river. The water was always hot, and when it got to the top, it got hotter and hotter, and the color became much more yellow and greener. From time to time, a trickle of water joins the river between the valleys in the mountains, and the amount of water becomes larger and larger. The color is diluted, so when you get to the place where you meet, the temperature and color become very light, and you can't see it if you don't look closely. Xiao Ruoshui had an answer in his heart, so he urged the horse to walk quickly towards the mountain. There are a lot of green trees on this mountain, and they are tall and straight, most of them are coniferous forests, and the most are pine trees, which stand upright on the mountain in the shape of a pagoda, one by one, the nearest pine tree has been on the riverside, the thick root system is exposed outside, under the tree is a piece of grass, from time to time there are nameless flowers blooming, the colors are colorful, and a group of bees and butterflies are busy in the flowers, flying around. Walking here, the warm air is inhaled sharply, and it is very comfortable. From time to time, squirrels and marmots fled in all directions frightened by the sound of horses' hooves, squirrels quickly climbed to the tree, squatted on the branches and looked at the two of them in horror from time to time, holding a large pine cone in the hand of the front paws from time to time and nibbling twice, the eyes were gurgling, and the face looked innocent. The princess burst out laughing when she saw this, and the unpleasantness she had just now disappeared without a trace. She stepped a little, and stood on the horse's back, and her feet immediately swooped up the branches, but she was not fast enough to catch the squirrel. I had to stand on a branch and watch the squirrels scatter and flee. The clumsy marmot slowly poked his head out of the hole under the tree at this time, and looked at the princess in surprise, but the expression seemed to be a little contemptuous and glanced at her, a little ridiculous, at least in the eyes of the princess, the princess kicked the branch, with the help of the elastic force of the branch, her right hand flicked, a rope hung on the trunk, and her body galloped down from the trunk, and her feet hit the dumb and clumsy marmot, so that the strength was not great, it was just a kick everywhere, and the marmot was kicked dizzy, and crashed directly into the tree hole, and refused to come out again。 The princess jumped to the ground, stretched out her rope and slipped down the trunk, then crossed her waist and smiled triumphantly at the marmot.

A squirrel suddenly appeared in front of her, looking at her in horror, the front paws still did not give up the pine cone, the princess happily took the squirrel, from time to time touched its back, and gradually the squirrel was not afraid, began to look at her with disdain, and ate the pine cone herself. It seems that he has become accustomed to the love and pity of the princess.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me catch this little squirrel. The princess said to Xiao Ruoshui.

"This is not an ordinary squirrel, it is a squirrel that has been washed in hot spring water, also called a fire spirit mouse, you see if there is a piece of red hair in the middle of its eyes, you are just born, it should be easy to raise. It is said that this fire spirit rat can detoxify fire poison, which is a great treasure in the world, but I didn't expect to meet it here, this is a miracle. Xiao Ruoshui said with a smile.

The princess listened to Xiao Ruoshui's words, and looked at this cute little guy carefully, it was indeed different from other little squirrels, there were a pinch of red hair in the middle of his eyes, and between the eyes, it was like someone had given a red dot, which looked very cute. The princess smiled and said, "It's like a red dot, it's so cute." Xiao Ruoshui looked at the princess's infatuated look and said: "This is a mother's, I'll see if I can find a male in a while, and it's easier to raise." The princess said happily, "Okay, you will help me catch a male in a while, and I will raise it." Xiao Ruoshui nodded and laughed. The unpleasantness of just going up the mountain was immediately washed away without a trace, and it no longer existed. It's good to be young, not only because they have more time, although they make mistakes a lot of the time, they don't understand others, and they make awkward mistakes, but they have more time to make up for their mistakes and correct them. It's also their lovely place. (To be continued......)
