After reaching a consensus, the three of them picked up Tianhong and Mochen and other three demons, and hurried to the direction pointed by Orion and went in the dark.

About an hour later, the three of them had already climbed over the barren mountain, but there was a bigger and more expansive mountain in front of us, which should be the legendary Yangmingshan.

However, it was still late at night, and we could not clearly observe anything else in the mountain except that it was frighteningly steep and frighteningly wide.

"Look, there's a cliff there!"

Where Xian'er's flashlight pointed, there was indeed a cliff about 200 meters high in front of her, and there seemed to be the sound of flowing water on the cliff, and it was thought that there should be a waterfall or stream flowing down from the cliff.

After a day's journey, the three of them were very tired, and when they heard the sound of water, the three of them hurriedly moved their feet and ran towards the stream.

When I got closer, I saw that there was a waterhole under the cliff.

Probably because of the perennial impact of the water flow of the mountain cliff, this mountain pool looks quite big, where the light of the flashlight hits, you can see that the front of the waterhole is a waterfall that is not too big, there is a trickle of water on it to draw down, the sound of the water droplets hitting the pebbles, it is like a nocturne, in the night of this deep mountain, it seems extremely pleasant.

In front of the waterhole, there is a clearing about ten square on the side, which is full of fine sand and some small stones, and the sand and stones reflect a little crystal light under the flashlight, which looks beautiful and beautiful, and the breeze blowing in the mountains, mixed with the smell of clear water, is really intoxicating and slightly smoky.

In this situation, Xue Yan couldn't care about Fang Cai's fatigue, but just put the sack containing the three demons such as Mochen on his back, and then ran to the water's edge happily and drank the water in a big gulp.

"Yiyang, come here, this water is so cool!"

At this time, the snow goose is as cheerful as a girl who is deeply involved in the world, and I seem to have seen it for a long time with her carefree appearance.

Although Xian'er is an old demon who has practiced for five hundred years, she is also a girl's heart, and she saw that the snow geese were having fun by the pool, so she also threw off the luggage in her hand, and quickly ran to the edge of the pool to fight with the snow geese.

Under the quiet moonlight, in the smoky mountain breeze, the sound of the gurgling stream, accompanied by the cheerful joy of the two girls, such a scene is really pleasing to my eyes, of course, if there are passers-by up the mountain at this time, it is estimated that we will be treated as spirits in the mountains.

Whatever, I'll wash my feet and cool down first!

As soon as I thought of this, I quickly put the sleeping Tianhong under the mountain rock next to me, and then took off my shoes and sat on the edge of the pool to soak my feet.

Although it is still in the middle of summer, the water in this pool is unexpectedly refreshing, when the feet are put into the pool water, suddenly a cool feeling hits the heart, during the day because of too much walking and the hot feeling under the feet disappears in an instant, and the tired body is even more refreshed.

After soaking in the water carefree for about three minutes, I suddenly heard a faint sound behind me, and at the same time, a sense of crisis suddenly rose.

Frightened in his heart, he hurriedly looked behind him, but under the cold moonlight, he didn't see anything appear.

Tianhong was still lying unconscious under the rocks, and the sack containing the three demons was also quietly placed on the sand and stone, and nothing unusual.

Maybe I'm too careful!

comforted himself in his heart, and continued to soak his feet happily.

By this time, Snow Goose and Xian'er had finished freshening up, and they walked hand in hand to the stone next to me and sat down.

"Yiyang, why don't we camp here tonight, how about it?" Snow Goose's interesting proposal.

I looked around when I heard this, and found that the sand and gravel of ten square meters was indeed a good place, and nodded with satisfaction: "No problem, you see that piece of sand and gravel, it should be a sandy land formed by the impact of water flow for many years, and it is now in the dry period, so the sand is exposed." ”

"Let's camp on that sand tonight, and sleep soundly by the breeze and the sound of the water!"

That's great!

The snow geese cheered happily and ran over to set up their tents.

Xian'er said unhurriedly next to me: "Yiyang, you and the snow goose set up the tent first, and I will go find some firewood to come and make a fire, and make a fire when I sleep at night, and those wild beasts will not dare to come near us!" ”

"Okay, that's a good idea, you go and get back quickly!"

As I spoke, I put on my shoes and walked in the direction of the snow geese.

After a short time, after the division of labor and cooperation between the three of them, the snow geese set up two tents, Xian'er raised a pile of red firewood, and I divided the dry food I carried with me into four points and placed them by the fire.

At last, he ran to the waterhole and filled up some water in case he needed it.

Xian'er and Snow Goose went to feed the three animals for water.

When I was done, I helped Tianhong to the fire and prepared to feed him some food and water.

"Hey, Yiyang, why do you only divide three portions of food, is there no dry food we brought?" Snow Goose sat by the fire and muttered puzzled.

As soon as he heard Xue Yan's words, his little heart suddenly thumped, and a bad premonition hit his heart.

The puzzled explanation at the moment: "I clearly divided four portions of food, one of which was prepared for Tianhong, how could it be that there were only three points?" ”

As I spoke, I moved my gaze to the place where the food had just been divided, and counted it carefully.

Sure enough, there were only three points!

Oh my God, there's one more piece of food missing!

It's impossible!

I just trotted to the edge of the waterhole to fill up the water, and that piece of food was taken?

From the pile of sand and gravel to the edge of the waterhole, it is less than ten meters, and I don't go back and forth for a minute, even if someone wants to take the opportunity to take the food, he will not have enough time to commit the crime.

The three of them looked at each other in surprise, and then looked around in unison.

But apart from the quiet mountain breeze and the occasional cicada, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time to comfort my own panicked heart, I pretended to explain: "Maybe I was too tired to travel today, so I remembered wrong, and it may be that I have lost a share." ”

As I spoke, I took out a bottle of milk and two pieces of bread from the bag and handed them to Snow Goose, and motioned for her to eat quickly.

After Snow Goose took the bread, she didn't eat it immediately, but pointed to the sand next to me and reminded softly: "Look at the sand and gravel next to Yiyang, there seems to be a row of small footprints, isn't it?" ”

When Xian'er and I heard this, we hurriedly looked at the ground, and there was indeed a row of small footprints under the moonlight, with an area of only about five centimeters, and it extended forward in a row of two, and the end of this row of small footprints was actually a waterhole! 8)
