Chapter 435 Waterway

Genius remembers it in one second and provides you with wonderful reading.

It was rainy season at this time, and Yunwu Inn was very deserted. A few guests sat in the hall and drank with the dishes on the table.

"Does several guests stay in a hotel or eat?"

As soon as the three of them sat down, a middle-aged beautiful woman in her forties greeted her.

"Live in the hotel, let's serve us some food first. I've been on the way for a day, and now I'm famine in my stomach."

After looking at the middle-aged beauty, Zou Yi withdrew his eyes and secretly praised the fact that the land and soil of southern Fujian really nourished people. Although he was in his forties, he did not look old at all. Even if he stood with Tigura, others would only regard them as sisters.

"It's not easy to walk along the way?"

A seemingly casual sentence of a middle-aged beautiful woman inadvertently relieves the psychological fatigue of the three, making her feel a little caring.

"Yinling, get some food for the guests"

He went into the room behind the lobby and shouted, and the middle-aged beautiful woman naturally sat down opposite Zou Yi.

"My mother, there's only these foods."

After a while, a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old came to the table with a few side dishes in her hand. The girl was very beautiful, with big eyes and delicate faces, and her pleasant and soft ethnic costumes while walking, which looked much better than the little stars on TV.

Looking at the stack of boiled beef, peanuts on the table, plus a few Minnan side dishes, Zou Yi looked at the girl and smiled, "It's good to have these, just give us some staple food."

"I'll do it"

While speaking, the middle-aged beauty had already stood up and walked backwards.

"Don't stand, sit down and talk to us. Your name is Yinling?"

As soon as the middle-aged beauty left, the girl stood alone by the table, and looked at the young people in front of her curiously. She was generous and unfamiliar. She looked very interesting and Zou Yi called her to sit down opposite her.

"Yinling is my nickname, my name is Liu Yuling."

The girl obviously grew up in the mountains and was very cheerful. She asked and answered Zou Yi's questions, but she lacked the despicable and reserved attitude outside.

After eating a little, Tigura went back to her room to rest early due to unwell. After following Ruan Yujie, she also went out and said she wanted to prepare some tools. Not long after, only Zou Yi and the middle-aged beautiful woman and her son were left at the table.

"Little brother, it's not the season for travel, where are you going?"

"I just want to go around the mountains"

Zou Yi put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, picked up the kettle and added a cup of tea to each of them. He looked up at her and smiled: "We are students of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Huaqing University. We have been studying several extinct Chinese medicinal herbs recently. I accidentally heard people say that they seemed to have seen it in this cloudy and misty mountain range, so I want to try my luck."

"Huaqing University, it's amazing"

The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said curiously: "There are many people here to collect herbs. If you don't dislike it, you might as well tell me. Maybe I can give you some tips and avoid many detours."

"Then the relationship is good"

Zou Yi pretended to be surprised and said, "I wonder if you have heard of a place called Hualong Valley?"

"Hualong Valley?"

The middle-aged beautiful woman frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, shook her head, "Are you sure this place is in the Yunwu Mountains?"

"It should be no mistake. This news was revealed by one of my mentors."

Zou Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, and a trace of vague doubt appeared in his eyes as he covered the edge of the cup.

By the way, when he said the three words Hualong Valley, he obviously felt that the middle-aged beautiful woman's body was tightening. It was not difficult to guess that she must have known where Hualong Valley was. Even if she didn't know, she should have heard of it, otherwise there would not be such a reaction. Since this is the case, why should I hide it? This is something Zou Yi can't figure it out.

"I can't help you by saying that. It's also a big mistake for the Yunwu Mountains. I haven't even heard of this place. Little brother, eat slowly. I'll prepare later. I'll give you some late-night snacks later."

The middle-aged beauty shook her head and smiled, got up and sued her and left with the silver bell.

"Somewhat interesting"

Looking at her leaving behind, Zou Yi smiled secretly in his heart—

Staying at Yunwu Inn for one night, the next morning, the three of them hurriedly left before dawn. Before leaving, they left a few bags of snacks for Xiao Yinling, which made the little girl very happy. However, the slightest worry revealed in the middle-aged beauty's expression was still captured by Zou Yi.

"Is this the tool you prepared yesterday afternoon?"

Looking at the brand new bamboo raft less than two meters wide in the river in front of him, Zou Yi frowned slightly.

After guessing what he was worried about, Ruan Yujie hurriedly explained: "It's rainy season now, and many roads in the mountains must have collapsed. Even if they don't collapse, it's very dangerous to walk. Although the waterway is a little turbulent, I was hiking myself on a bamboo raft at the age of twelve. If you want to talk about technology, even those old handkerchiefs may not be better than me, don't worry," he said.

Seeing Zou Yi looking at him with a worried look on his face, Tigura shook her head and smiled, "I have no problem, just listen to him, so you can be faster."

Since Tigura did not object, Zou Yi nodded to Ruan Yujie just now and said, "Okay, it seems that the rain will not stop. Be careful, the raft will definitely slip."

"no problem"

Ruan Yujie patted his chest and raised his foot to shake it in front of Zou Yi. However, he saw that he had tied a piece of bark with some burrs under the shoes. He felt relieved when he saw Zou Yi.

Ruan Yujie really didn't brag. The bamboo raft was like a toy in his hand. If you wanted it to go left, go left and right, go right. Even the turbulent river channel was safe under his control. The lonely boat was shuttled through the river channel for half an hour before it slowed down.

"This section will be a little calmer. Take advantage of this time to relax and rest. There will be a torrent later. After that section of the torrent, the river channel behind it is too shallow, so you can't use a bamboo raft. You have to walk."

Ruan Yujie said as he sat down, took out a few pre-prepared dry food rolls from his travel bag and handed them to Zou Yi and the others.

“How long does it take to walk?”

Zou Yi took the dry food roll, gave Tigura one, took a bite, and asked vaguely.

Ruan Yujie looked up at the sky and frowned and said, "If the road is easy to walk, you can get to the place in about an hour, but I see that it will rain heavily in a while, so I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."

“Is there any place to shelter from the rain?”

Feeling the change in humidity in the air, Zou Yi also frowned.

"The other party sheltered from the rain?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Yujie shook his head firmly and said, "No."

He looked at him thoughtfully, and it was not difficult to see from his previous expression that he must have thought of something, but in the end he rejected it. Given his trust in him, Zou Yi did not ask any more questions.

After eliminating the dry food roll, Zou Yi and Tigura closed their eyes back to back to rest. After more than ten minutes, Zou Yi opened his eyes and saw Ruan Yujie standing up, holding the bamboo pole in his hands, staring at a village not far from the shore with a nervous look on his face.

Rush ~

As the half-human-tall weeds on the shore swayed and gradually moved away, Zou Yi and Tigura looked over at the same time. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please browse m to read for a better reading experience.
