Chapter 413: Dangerous Beach
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wu Qinghe felt that this reason was quite possible.
“That might really be the case!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed happily.
When Li Xiaoran looked at the water not far away, her expression immediately changed.
“There’s danger ahead!”
Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe also looked over when they heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
Sure enough, in the distance, the horizontal surface was no longer visible. It was obvious that the water had flowed down ahead.
Luo Cheng thought for a moment, then jumped and looked ahead.
When Luo Cheng landed again, he said, “It’s not a waterfall ahead, but a place like a staircase. Let’s get off the bamboo raft first! Otherwise, we’ll be thrown out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Cheng took out his bamboo pole and pushed it down the river before approaching the shore.
Wu Qinghe also slowed down and leaned against the shore.
The three of them worked hard and finally reached the shore near the dangerous river.
At this moment, looking at the dangerous beach not far away, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.
“Looks like we have to move down this section of the river ourselves! ” Luo Cheng said as he glanced at the current in the distance.
Li Xiaoran and Wu Qinghe nodded, then the three of them pulled the bamboo raft downstream.
Fortunately, the journey was downhill, so it didn’t take much effort to drag the bamboo raft down.
After walking for almost an hour, they finally avoided the dangerous beach. Then, the three of them quickly placed the bamboo raft on the surface of the river and continued to move downstream.
After sitting on the bamboo raft, Li Xiaoran rubbed her sore shoulders and lamented, “Fortunately, we discovered it in time. Otherwise, we would have had a thrilling experience!”
“Wu Qinghe and I would be fine. I was just worried that you wouldn’t be able to take it!” Luo Cheng said.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she rolled her eyes at her man.
“What nonsense are you spouting? I have my own pride too!”
As soon as she said this, Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe laughed out loud.
Time passed bit by bit. Finally, at five in the afternoon, they arrived at the mountain range behind Hele Village.
When they reached the familiar place, Luo Cheng relaxed.
“We’ll go ashore at the bend ahead and put the bamboo raft here. If we go further ahead, we’ll reach a very long underground river. It’s very dangerous there. Even I don’t dare to go there!” Luo Cheng pointed at a place in front as he said.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately thought of something.
“Is it the largest dark river in the West Mountain?! A few people in the village went but never returned! The children of Hele Village have been warned not to go to that dark river since they were young!”
“Yes, that dark river!” Luo Cheng nodded in confirmation.
After receiving a definite answer, Li Xiaoran smiled.
“Looks like this place really is not far from home!”
Luo Cheng nodded and began to prop up the bamboo pole as he leaned the bamboo raft towards the shore.
Fifteen minutes later, the three of them successfully landed and the bamboo raft was pulled to the ground.
After taking the eight leather bags off the bamboo raft, the three of them carried their things and continued on the mountain path.
After sitting on the bamboo raft for two days, Li Xiaoran felt very energetic.
“Sigh, it feels much better to be on ground! Previously, when I was floating on the water, I kept feeling a little disoriented!”
“Yes, I feel the same. I only feel at ease when I step on the ground!” Wu Qinghe nodded and echoed.
“You two should leave quickly! This place is still a distance away from the stone house I built and we have to find the stone house before the sun sets. Otherwise, we won’t be able to rest well tonight!” Luo Cheng reminded.
Li Xiaoran and Wu Qinghe quickly quickened their pace as they followed Luo
Cheng.
The heavens didn’t disappoint!
They finally found the stone house Luo Cheng had built before the sun set.
After pushing open the door and ventilating the room, Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe went to pick up some firewood.
When it was completely dark, the three of them went into the stone house and built a fire.
Li Xiaoran and the other two had already eaten cold meat for two days. At this moment, they really wanted to drink some warm soup.
After Li Xiaoran washed the pot with the stream water from the bamboo, she fetched some clean water and cut the previously cooked pork into pieces with a dagger, then boiled them in the pot.
The steamed buns from before had been eaten up. At this moment, there was nothing else to eat except wild boar meat.
Luo Cheng suddenly thought of something and went to a corner of the stone house.
After he moved a stone slab, a small cellar appeared.
After Luo Cheng bent down to pick up some things, he called Wu Qinghe over.
“Wu Qinghe, wash the wooden basin and pack these taros to wash. Let’s cook a pot of taros to eat later!”
When Wu Qinghe heard that there was taro to eat, he immediately brought the wooden basin over happily. Then, as he picked up the taro, he said, “Brother Luo Cheng, your stone house is like a treasure chest. It feels like there’s everything here.”
“My stone house isn’t a treasure chest. It doesn’t have gold or silver jewelry!” Luo Cheng teased.
Wu Qinghe chuckled and suddenly thought of something.
“I wonder where Miss Shu and Li Xia are now!”
“They’re definitely not as fast as we are. They might even be behind us!” Luo Cheng replied as he covered the slate after taking out all the taros.
“We’ve crossed mountains and rivers, so we’re definitely much faster than them! I hope nothing happened to them along the way!” Wu Qinghe said.
“Don’t you know how to read fortunes? You’ll know if you read their fortunes! Didn’t you read our fortunes previously? Everything was accurate!” Luo Cheng reminded Wu Qinghe when he saw his worried expression.
“Yes, yes, yes. I forgot about my ability! I’ll go wash the taros first. I’ll come and divine later!” After Wu Qinghe came to a realization, he carried the wooden basin and ran towards the bamboo pipe outside.
Luo Cheng was a little worried, so he lit a torch and went out to wash the taros with Wu Qinghe.
After the taros were washed, the two of them walked in with them, then Luo Cheng closed the stone door.
“It’s very dangerous outside now, so don’t leave this stone house!” Luo Cheng reminded them.
Li Xiaoran and Wu Qinghe nodded and remembered Luo Cheng’s words.
The meat soup was already cooked, so Li Xiaoran scooped it up in a big bowl from the stone house.
After that, without washing the pot, she added water and boiled the taros.
There was no need to put anything in. A handful of salt was enough!
Just as the three of them were about to eat, there was a crash outside…
