The three of them hurriedly ate breakfast and started to pack their things. In fact, it was just dawn at the moment. Ji Xinxi looked at his phone and found that it was not even before seven in the morning. , There is no sense of burden to get up early.

Her things were the least prepared among the three. The backpack on her body contained flashlight batteries, some water and food, as well as the engineer shovel she had taken from the archaeological team camp at Princess Hanling's tomb last time.

At that time, she was always with her. When she woke up in the hospital, everything on her body was neatly placed on the head of her bed, including the engineer shovel. The equipment of the archaeological team was configured according to professional standards, and the quality was natural. It is trustworthy. Although there are some bends due to the stone gate, it does not affect the use, so Ji Xin did not lose it in the past and stayed by his side.

Xun Youling also packed up and came to her side. Ji Xin saw that she was about to say hello when he saw Xun Youling brought a watch to her wrist and said, "I don't know how long it will take to go to the tomb this time. If there is no place for charging, the phone won’t last long, but you can bring this watch to know the time.”

In the tomb, it is impossible to tell the difference between day and night. If you can know the time, you will feel a lot more comfortable, because losing the sense of time will expand people's negative emotions. Ji Xinxi obediently asked Xun Youling to put on the watch, and then raised it to look at it. After a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It's pretty good."

"Hmph, don't look at who's taste, can you not look good?" Xun Youling said brightly.

Ji Xinxi put his hands back in his pockets, and said lightly, "Actually, the key is that my hands are good-looking, and I just made them look good."

"Smelly shameless!" Xun Youling retorted while holding her chest, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Let's go when you're ready, block the door and be the **** of the door?" Xun Nagan's voice sounded behind the two of them. He didn't have much on his body, but he was carrying a small satchel and replaced the previous pair of flip-flops with hiking shoes.

I originally thought that I would go down the mountain first and then go to the waterway that Xun Nagan said before, but unexpectedly, instead of going down the mountain, Xun Nagan took the two to detour from the east of the Taoist temple.

Although there were doubts in their hearts, the two of them followed obediently. It was a small road. In fact, it was not a road at all. It was just a dirt trail that people often came back to and stepped on, and it should have been a period of time that no one passed by. , so a lot of new weeds grow, and they pierce people from time to time, which is not very painful but also a little annoying.

After walking for about half an hour, the three went down to the foot of the mountain in the west. At the foot of the mountain, they saw a river. A man who seemed to be in his thirties was sitting there on a stone by the river, waiting there. A flatbed is parked.

Xun Nagan saw the man say "Huh" softly, and seemed to be surprised. He walked closer and opened his mouth to ask, "Isn't it you who I called in the morning? Old Zhang is an old acquaintance of mine. I've always been looking for him, although I haven't called him for a while, but I'm not going to perfunctory me like this, right?"

The young man hurriedly got up, took off the sun hat on his head and said, "You are Daoist Xun, right? Zhang Boliang is my father, and I am his son Zhang Chenghu."

"You are Lao Zhang's son? What about Lao Zhang and others? Didn't I agree when I saw him in the morning? Why did I call you here now?" His Lao Zhang did not appear but sent his son to be somewhat dissatisfied.

Zhang Chenghu was not angry. Seeing Xun Nagan's mood, he hurriedly explained: "My dad didn't mean to not come, to tell you the truth, people were fine in the morning, but this morning, when you were out of the boat, you were on the road. Let a battery car run over, although it didn't hit, but someone accidentally turned into the field next to him and broke his leg, I'm not afraid of missing you, so let me come over and get on top."

As if he was afraid of Xun Nagan's dissatisfaction, he hurriedly added: "Don't worry, Master Dao, I sailed with my father since I was a child, and now I rely on this to eat, and my hands and feet are no worse than my father's, my father said before he came. Now, this river is narrow and dark with many rocks, let me slow down and follow your instructions."

"And to be honest, my dad is old, and he had a lot of problems with the boat in the early years. Now his body is not as good as before. It's okay to change to an electric boat on weekdays. What matters is strength, and now he is really strong in this regard."

This is what Zhang Zhang said about Chenghu. Xun Nagan has nothing to be dissatisfied with, and there is no time to wait for anyone, and there is no time for him to find a new boatman. He put his satchel on the boat, Then he opened his mouth and asked, "How is Lao Zhang's injury? It's enough for him to suffer this crime at his age."

Zhang Chenghu was very discerning, and immediately went over to help Ji Xinxi and Xun Youling's backpacks, and answered Xun Nagan's question: "It sounds scary, but it's not that exaggerated, it's just cracked. Tiao Xiu, I haven't been able to get out of bed for ten days and a half months. It's not good to say it. I think it's okay to fall. He is the most restless all day. Now he can rest like this last time. It's good for the body too."

"You're a good kid, and you have a good temperament. I'll see him after this trip, and I've known him for a long time." Xun Nagan said with a smile.

Seeing Xun Nagan finally showing a smile, Zhang Chenghu's expression also loosened, which meant that he had taken over the job, and he didn't have to be so careful later.

In Zhang Chenghu's friendly reminder, the three of them got on the boat. This was the first time Ji Xin had seen this boat. The boat was very narrow, and the two of them were very crowded side by side, so the three sat in vertical rows, each with their backpacks. placed at their respective feet.

After confirming that the three of them were seated firmly, Zhang Chenghu stood at the bow of the boat, propped up the ground on the bank with a pole, and a vigorous boat left the bank and slowly sailed forward along the river.

Zhang Chenghu's technique is indeed the same as what he said. It is very stable to sit on this boat. Only when avoiding the reefs in the river channel, he will feel a slight shaking.

In general, Ji Xinxi felt pretty good for this first boat experience, and even looked around curiously. After a while, Ji Xinxi, who was staring at the bottom of the river, suddenly felt that the surroundings were dark. He looked up and found that it was The boat has entered a cave along the river.

There is a searchlight hanging on the bow of Zhang Chenghu. When he entered the cave, he could not see his fingers, so he had already turned on the light when he was at the entrance of the cave.

It can be seen at a glance that this cave is naturally formed. The stalactites hanging upside down are disordered and hang above the water surface. In many places, even people sitting down have to bow their heads to avoid, making the rivers that are already difficult to navigate even more difficult. It was difficult, Ji Xinxi only understood at this moment, and it was no wonder that Xun Nagan was dissatisfied with Lao Zhang's temporary replacement. The terrain here, if the boatman was not careful, he might capsize or get stuck. Naturally, the more familiar the road, the better.

However, Zhang Chenghu is not too old, but his temperament is very calm. This is the first time Rao has entered here. The ship is still in control, and he handles emergencies in an orderly manner.

Ji Xinxi looked around the surrounding environment, wondering if she didn't know this was going to the tomb, but she really felt that she was visiting some tourist attractions at the moment. Seeing Xun Youling sitting in front of her with a straight waist, holding the seat under her with both hands, she looked straight ahead without squinting.

Knowing Xun Youling for so long, I have never seen her look so serious, Ji Xinxi remembered that when she was at the princess' tomb, Xun Youling could not drink water. It is estimated that there is a psychological shadow on the ship.

She probed and looked at Xun Youling from the side, and she saw that the other side looked solemn and her lips were tightly pursed. Ji Xin wanted to make a joke, but Xun Youling was so afraid and silently dismissed the idea, and reached out to hold it. The other's hand comforted: "Don't be afraid, if you fall, I will definitely pull you back as soon as possible."

When Ji Xinxi touched it, Xun Youling couldn't help but startled, and then heard the other party's words, opened his mouth and said, "Can't you expect me to order it? Do I have to fall?"

She was not satisfied with the soft mouth, but her expression softened a lot, and her straight waist was also loosened. Ji Xinxi looked at it funny, and complained that she was a dead duck, but in the corner of the light, she saw a splash of water on the water suddenly and fast. crossed.

However, under the limited light of the searchlight, it quickly disappeared, leaving only a circle of ripples on the water. Seeing Ji Xinxi suddenly staring at the water without speaking, Xun Youling became a little nervous again, and asked: "What's up?"

Ji Xin didn't see what it was in the past, and when the water pattern disappeared, he didn't see any strange movement anymore. He thought that he was too nervous, maybe it was just fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river, after all, if there was anything , Xun Nagan has been here so many times before and will remind him before entering.

"It's nothing, a fish just swam past, I looked fresh." Ji Xinxi smiled and patted Xun Youling's shoulder comfortingly.

Xun Youling breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and Xun Nagan suddenly interjected, "What? Has Xiaochun's fear of water been corrected yet?"

"Master Xun, why is Xun Youling afraid of water?" Ji Xin asked curiously after hearing this.

"This~ when she was still young..." Xun Nagan was interrupted by Xun Youling just halfway through his words.

"Old man, don't talk too much!" Xun Youling's face turned red, and her body leaned forward because of excitement.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Zhang Chenghu also heard the conversation of several people, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I have always sailed steadily, and I promise not to let you fall."

Xun Nagan was interrupted by Xun Youling, so he simply stopped talking, and had a chat with Zhang Chenghu.

Seeing this, Xun Youling also put her heart back to where it was, but in the blink of an eye she saw Ji Xinxi looking at her with a good look, her eyes flashing with bright curiosity, she frowned and pursed her lips to resist for a while, and finally sighed , holding his chin, he said reluctantly, "That's all from my childhood."
