Chapter 238: Underground River
Su Yingxiu applied medicine to Lu Yun, and carefully bandaged him. Finally, he also tied two beautiful bows. Then he clapped his hands with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's not bad."
Lu Yun looked at his arm, feeling a little amused. But at this moment, he didn't care about this, looked at the entrance of the cave, and said to Su Yingxiu: "I'll go down and take a look first."
"I'm with you, I'm scared." Su Yingxiu said with a smile, but he didn't even look at the meaning of fear.
Lu Yun rolled his eyes and let her go.
Before going down, Lu Yun suddenly remembered something and glared at Su Yingxiu and said, "Don't step on me again!"
Su Yingxiu was stunned when she heard this, and then she remembered the time she was in Bailiu Village. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you still remember?" After laughing, she glanced at Lu Yun with a charming look and said, "Don't worry, I don't know the depth of my head. I'll wait until you finish exploring the road before going down."
"Hmph!" Lu Yun snorted and jumped down from the hole.
After falling two feet apart, Lu Yun saw the water surface. There was a water wheel on the water surface, which slowly rotated under the push of the water flow. Lu Yun's toes fell down straight and turned to the bank of the underground river.
Lu Yun fell lightly on the bank of the river. Just as she was about to look around, she saw Su Yingxiu jumping down from the hole above her head like a fairy descending to earth. Without the help of a water truck, she incredibly changed direction in the air and landed beautifully beside Lu Yun.
"Don't you wait until I finish exploring the road before getting down?" Lu Yun said angrily.
"Aren't you worried about you?" Su Yingxiu responded with a smile, then took out a night pearl like a magic trick, and took out the hazy blue light to check the surrounding situation.
I saw that this underground river was about one mile long and about a meter wide, and the water flowed quite fast. The river surface was about two meters away from the top of the cave, and several water trucks of different sizes were rotating repeatedly under the influence of the river water.
"How is it? Do you admire me very much?" The saint looked at Lu Yun proudly. Seeing that he was about to bend down to get water, Su Yingxiu grabbed him and said, "I'll do it."
Lu Yun nodded and saw Su Yingxiu squatting by the underground river. He first reached into the water and tried the temperature. "Ah, it's so ice..."
Then the saint took out another silver-white spoon and scooped a spoonful of river water. Lu Yun widened his eyes and looked at the saint up and down. He really didn't know where she hid so many things.
Su Yingxiu shook the spoon and observed it carefully before breathing a sigh of relief: "It's not poisonous." As she said that, she sent the spoon to her lips, took a sip, and tasted it: "It's a bit sweet." Then she raised the spoon to Lu Yun and said: "Come on, Mr. Lu, I'll feed you."
"You don't have to be polite." Lu Yun rolled his eyes, walked to the underground riverside, waved his palm and slapped the river surface, and rolled up the large ball of river water. Then he hugged his hands in the air, and the ball of river water obediently became a spherical shape. Then Lu Yun opened his mouth and sucked the whale, and the water ball turned into a column of water and flew into Lu Yun's mouth.
Under the cool river water, Lu Yun felt the thirst in his throat and his whole body was relieved.
Seeing that he was about to make such a big noise when he drank water, Su Yingxiu shook his head funny and scooped the river water on his own and sipped it slowly. After quenching his thirst, Su Yingxiu held the river water again, washed his face, and carefully washed it. He didn't know what was there to clean up in this place where the darkness and no fingers were visible?
However, Lu Yun didn't talk much. He sat down quietly against the mountain wall and silently adjusted his breathing. He wanted to return to his peak state as soon as possible to cope with the next situation.
As soon as Lu Yun entered into meditation, he heard Su Yingxiu's sudden cheer, which made his breath unstable. Lu Yun opened his eyes angrily and glared at Su Yingxiu fiercely, but when he saw the things she caught in his hand, Lu Yun couldn't help but smile.
"Fish, there are actually fish in this river!" Su Yingxiu offered treasures and held the half-foot-long fish as thin as silver chopsticks in front of Lu Yun, and smiled and said, "We can't starve to death!"
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." Lu Yun also smiled. At this moment, it was really hard for him to angrily look at Su Yingxiu again.
"This fish is for you to eat." Su Yingxiu threw the little fish to Lu Yun, flashed back to the underground river, staring at the river surface for a moment. Suddenly, she raised her slender hand and a transparent silk thread flew out and went straight into the water!
Immediately, Su Ying held back her hands, and the silk thread flew back to her hand with a struggling little fish.
Only then did Lu Yun withdraw his gaze and carefully examine the fish in his hand.
Seeing that he was looking at the little fish and refused to vent his mouth for a long time, Su Yingxiu said sarcastically: "Mr. Lu, are you thinking about how to make a fire and roast the fish before eating?" As she said that, she gently scratched her fingers, pinched the fish head and tail, cut off the internal organs, and put it into her mouth with expressionless expression: "Just eat raw."
Having said that, she was frowning with the fishy mouth, and the cold little fish frowned in disgust. But the big words had already been said, and His Highness the Saint could only pretend to be nothing and endured the disgust and swallowed the little fish directly into her belly.
Then, Su Yingxiu pretended to be relaxed and smiled at Lu Yun, "It tastes pretty good." But her pale face was really conspicuous in this dark underground cave.
"This fish is called the White Jade Silver Fish." Lu Yun then started slowly and said: "Every autumn comes, it will appear in the Luoshui River."
"Uh..." Su Yingxiu's mouth twitched, and it turned out that he had a breakdown. This kid was not afraid to eat live fish raw, but was studying the species of fish. Su Yingxiu couldn't help but say angrily: "If you know it is a silverfish or a goldfish, you can eat it. What's the difference?!"
"There is a big difference." Lu Yun nodded and looked at Su Yingxiu and said, "White jade silverfish is a delicacy that the people in the capital are rushing to, but no one knows where the fish comes from." As he said that, he glanced at the small fish in his hand and said in a deep voice: "I think the answer is here."
"You mean..." Su Yingxiu was so smart that she immediately understood what Lu Yun meant, and said with a bright light in her eyes: "Did this white jade silverfish swim from this underground river to the Luoshui River?"
"I'm not sure." Lu Yun nodded and said with a stern look: "But there is definitely this possibility."
"So, this underground river is likely to lead to Luoshui River?" Su Yingxiu said excitedly, and as she looked at the river surface, she said with a gloomy expression: "Even if it really leads to Luoshui River, what's the use? You can't get out or you can't get out..."
No wonder she was so frustrated. The underground river cave was only one mile long, but the length of the underground river was naturally far more than this. Because the upstream and downstream of the river were all dark rivers, and there was no place for the water to come from the upper stream. The downstream river water flowed out from the cracks of the rocks, and only turned into a bright river in the underground cave.
"That may not be," Lu Yun said without discouragement: "Look at the rapid flow of the underground river and the water volume is also very large. If there were not enough space for it to flow, the cave would have been flooded long ago."
"Well..." Su Yingxiu thought about it, it was indeed the reason. But he still disagreed with the risk and said: "You have tried it too. The river water is cold and harsh. Even if you are a bully, you may not last long. Before you find the exit, you will have frozen to death in the water."
"You said just now, how can you know if you don't try it? "Lu Yun made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Since someone has put us in a trap, the other party will definitely block all the way out, and only by escaping from this underground channel."
"People outside will be rescued." Su Yingxiu still disagreed: "Now we have food and drink, so it should not be a problem to be rescued with peace of mind."
