Chapter 12: The Secret of the Diversion of the Blackwater River (2)

The tributaries of the Heishui River have been meandering between the valleys against the current, there are many small streams in the middle, Xiao Ruoshui must carefully survey each stream, indeed every stream flowing out of the mountains may be the eye of the Feng Shui Bureau, the mountains here are all pine and cypress, the large coniferous forest is very dense, making it very difficult to walk, it is not half the way to the mountain, the sky has slowly darkened, the mountains and forests at night are very dangerous, and as soon as it gets dark, the survey is about to end, and there is no point in surveying if you can't see anything. Xiao Ruoshui carefully looked for a high flat land, stationed down, stationed in the mountains and forests by the river is very particular, first of all, can not be stationed near the low point of the river, to prevent the river from soaring, in the summer there is rain, high temperature weather The river water may skyrocket, so it can not be stationed in a low place, and secondly, it can not be stationed near the woods, too close to the woods is easy to be attacked by wild beasts, and it is easy to ignite the mountains and forests when making fires, so it is necessary to camp in a higher place, in the open space, and light a fire, so that you can avoid the attack of wild beasts。 Xiao Ruoshui is now choosing a good place in the middle of the woods, an open area, a flat land, on which is soft grass, even if he brings a very thin thing to spread on it, it is very comfortable, he took out the tent from the horse, and when he stretched out his hand to unfold the tent, he couldn't help but think of the battle by the river, at that time he was from an ordinary person to a master, and at that moment everyone did their best to protect him Epiphany, including the princess who didn't know martial arts at that time, thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a smile. The expression on his face was a little dull, and the smile was hanging on his face all the time. The princess sang while cleaning up the tent, and suddenly saw him smiling sluggishly, and felt ashamed, and said in her heart that this Xiao Xiao probably didn't have any good brains, her face turned red, and she said: "What are you thinking, work quickly." ”

Xiao Ruoshui was woken up by the princess from her immersion, and said embarrassedly: "I remembered the incident by the river just now, and remembered that you have been desperately delaying time in order to protect the epiphany." When I think about it, I feel a little moved. So I thought about it a little more. ”

The princess sighed, and her face couldn't help but turn redder, a little ashamed to think too much, and the red on her face became more gorgeous. With his head down, he got into the tent and shouted, "I'll clean up my bed first." You are not allowed to come in. ”

Xiao Ruoshui shook his head. Ignoring her, he still has a lot to do, fetch water. Feed the horses, chop wood and cook, how can you have time to go to the tent. He drew his machete and went into the woods, pine resin is a very good burning material, he cut some more, and the pine resin branches can be used as torches at night. He dragged a big bundle of branches to the tent, and then he took the water bladder to fetch water, by the way to see if there was anything to accompany the meal, when he fetched water, he looked in the water, there were no fish, he fetched water specifically to find water from the brook without color, who knew what was in the colorful water in the tributaries of the black water river, he did not dare to take the risk. He led the horse to a meadow, let go of the horse to graze, he himself walked towards the land with small bags bulging everywhere, he walked to the mushroom that must have not been unearthed, although it was not unearthed, but the mushroom that was not unearthed was the most fragrant, especially in the underground of the pine trees, there were a lot of matsutake mushrooms, that thing stewed with meat has always been the best delicacy, it is a delicacy that can be found and not sought. Xiao Ruoshui picked up a lot of mushrooms, removed the inedible ones, poisonous ones, and estimated that he could eat them.

He led the horse back to the tent, put down the water and the mushrooms, and said to the princess, who had already come out of the tent, with a smile, "I'll go find some game, and you wash the mushrooms here and boil the water, and we'll eat something delicious in a while." The princess nodded, she knew that Xiao Ruoshui's ability to catch game was good, and her ability to make game was even better, and her mouth couldn't help but be a little moist when she thought of this. She happily lit a fire, sang a little song and waited for Xiao Ruoshui, the fire was lit, and the whirring flames jumped up and down, mixed with the burning sound of thunderbolts and pine resin, and the princess threw in some bamboo, the noise was very loud, it is estimated that the beasts were scared away, and the ancestors of ancient China used this to scare away the beasts. But the fire spirit mouse in the princess's arms was not afraid at all, lying on the princess's shoulder seemed to be very excited to look at the fire, it was only half a day it was already very familiar with the princess, lying on the princess and not coming down, but it was still very cold in the mountains and forests at night, there was a warm place to lie down, it refused to come down no matter what. The princess stroked the fire spirit mouse and said to it with a smile: "Good, mother cooks for you, and father goes hunting, and will bring you delicious food in a while, you be good." The fire spirit mouse grinned and smiled, as if to laugh at her, and the princess suddenly woke up to find that her speech was ill, and her face turned red, and she patted the fire spirit mouse and said coquettishly: "You bad thing, even you laugh at me." The fire spirit mouse squeaked aggrievedly, as if dissatisfied with the princess, and the princess blushed and gave it a pine cone, and it grinned and gnawed on the pine cone. The princess stroked it, looking at the boiling water in the pot, gurgling, holding her cheeks, thinking to herself that none of the squirrels in this wood knew what I was thinking. Hey, when will he understand what is on my mind? She looked at the fire and thought about it quietly.

A breeze blew, the leaves rattled, and a shadow flashed and vanished. The princess didn't notice it, but the fire spirit mouse was already squeaking, and it kept clutching the princess's clothes with a look of fear on its face. The princess looked at the fire spirit mouse strangely, she looked at the fire spirit mouse carefully, stroked it, and said, "Little girl, what are you afraid of, don't be afraid, I don't have to be afraid of anything here." The fire spirit mouse screamed even harder, and went straight into the princess's arms, with a look of fear on her face. The princess stood up suspiciously, turned her head left and right to look around, the shadow of the tree was swaying, swaying in the firelight, the princess looked at the figure behind the tree, and shouted loudly: "Who is there?" She touched the seven absolute needles in the bag, took them out, picked up a burning pine branch and walked towards the back of the tree, she walked slowly, the seven absolute needles in her hand had been pressed on the machine spring, no one could escape the blow of the seven absolute needles in such a short distance, and it was the seven absolute needles of the desperate poison. She soothed her pounding heart while walking, she always remembered Xiao Ruoshui's words, you must be calm in battle, calm people can win the battle, so she said in her heart I want to be calm, I want to be calm, she held the torch and slowly walked towards the back of the tree, suddenly an ethereal figure rushed out, the princess's seven needles shot at the figure like white light, the figure disappeared in an instant, the princess chased after a little bit, but after a while the figure disappeared, she looked at the disappeared figure and stopped, her heart was full of doubts, she turned around, Xiao Ruoshui had already occupied in front of her, she was taken aback, her heart fluttered, and shouted loudly"When did you come out, it scared people to death." ”

Xiao Ruoshui smiled and said, "I just came back, and I saw you running towards the woods, so I chased after you, did you see anything?" He was carrying two pheasants in his hands, and the two rabbits asked him suspiciously.

"I didn't see it clearly, it seemed to be a person, but I wasn't sure. The princess said as she looked in the direction in which the shadow had vanished.

"Maybe it's wrong, let's go cook, I guess you're hungry. Xiao Ruoshui looked at the direction the princess was looking at and comforted the princess and said.

"No way, I also set up a tube of seven needles, I heard the sound of shooting. The princess tried to prove that she was not an illusory influence.

"Let's go and see what kind of animal it is at dawn, don't think about it, let's eat first." There are good foods to eat today. Xiao Ruoshui raised the prey in his hand and said.

The princess smiled happily when she saw her prey, and the fire spirit mouse was now without fear, and squeaked happily. Xiao Ruoshui smiled, but he knew in his heart that the princess was definitely not seeing an animal, how many secrets were buried in this tributary of the Heishui River? (To be continued......)
