Chapter 22: Dangerous Waters

Wushuang stood up, moved his muscles and bones, shook his head and told Duan Zirui, "Zirui, take good care of Caidie for me, don't forget to make a bowl of hot porridge for our aunt. If my aunt comes back in the evening, I will ask you."

"Ah? Master, you don't take me? Humph! With that swish, you don't need me anymore, right?" Caidie kept complaining to Wushuang.

"Be good, you have not healed. The journey is a bit long. Can you take a day off first? Don't worry, I won't have anything to do. Will we go home immediately after everything is done?" Wushuang comforted her.

"What about after I go home?" Lan Caidie blinked her big watery eyes and waited for Wushuang to make a promise to her.

"After getting home, take you to the old lady and say, is that okay?"

"say what?"

Wushuang then lay down in her ear and whispered: "Tell us about our marriage!"

"Hmph! This is almost the same. You have a conscience. Be careful on the road. Try to stay away from the water. I brought you some dry food from Lijiapo. Let's eat it on the road when you are hungry. I know you can't eat fish."

"It's my Caidie who knows how to love others the most. Be good, wait for me to come back!" The two of them showed their love to the fullest regardless of everyone's embarrassing eyes.

"Little guy, are you going with me?" The soothing smiled and touched the kitten's chin. The soothing seemed to understand his words, and rushed up to the soothing shoulder, squatting on his shoulder as if he had been the same as the darkspot in the past.

Wushuang smiled and said, "It has a destiny to be with you, take it with you."

The sun outside came out, shining on the bank of the Yellow River, and Wushuang and the good brothers set out on a new journey again. Their destination is the root of the Yellow River, Tiandu Peak!

Although the scenery along the way is not as beautiful as the grassland and Jiangnan, the turbid Yellow River water is accompanied by the uneven Loess Plateau on both sides. It is not only a companion on the road, but also two. The little black cat is only two months old, very naughty, jumping left and right, constantly catching small insects in the weeds. It is also very conscious. As long as it sees its owner walking far away, it will quickly chase after it and jump on its shoulders, for fear that it will not be necessary.

At first, two fellow villagers could occasionally grazed sheep on both sides of the river basin. The fellow villagers were surprised to see a child from other places walking under the river bank. Some kindly reminded them that the water was not safe and they left quickly.

By the time we walked by about nine o'clock in the morning, the nearby terrain gradually grew higher, and there were no people on the loess slopes on both sides. There were weeds and trees everywhere, and the weeds were all over the knees. The tributary became increasingly narrower, and sometimes the yellow water flowed down and small vortexes floated up, and then a few bubbles appeared and disappeared.

As Wushuang walked, his feet suddenly seemed to step on something hard.

"What's the point of doing this?" He pulled through the weeds and took a closer look. Oh, it was a pile of white bones, but this pile of white bones is not human, but a buffalo. From this buffalo bone, this is a wild buffalo.

Half of the buffalo's corpse had bones exposed, and the other half began to rot due to the hot weather. Outside, a field of goshawks fell on it, and there were dense maggots inside gnawing back and forth. The scene was very disgusting.

"The wild buffalo is fierce in nature, and even wild wolves and leopards dare not attack easily. What exactly killed it?" Na Xiu said, who squatted down and observed its corpse carefully.

"The point is not who killed it, but this row of gums. Wow, the meat on your thighs was obviously gnawed by predators, and the gums were still on top." Wushuang said with one hand covering her nose and pointing at the buffalo corpse.

It is obvious that the buffalo was a ferocious hunter. The buffalo's hind legs exposed from the buffalo's bones can have very sharp teeth, and the teeth are very dense, like a hacksaw. The gums are row after row, not left by a predator, but several pounced on them at the same time.

At this time, the two of them vaguely heard the sound of some kind of animal swimming from the shallow Yellow River behind them, buzzing... More than one, maybe at least ten. The little black cat was very alert and had jumped off his shoulder and whined at the water.

"Swish, go quickly!" Wushuang didn't want to waste more time here. So Xiu called back the black cat, so he quickly followed Wushuang.

The more you walked forward, the more animals appeared in the grass. There was a relatively open loess high slope in front of it, and the turbulent Yellow River water was below. The two of them stood on the loess high slope and turned to take a look. It turned out that they were walking on a path made of white bones. There were countless animal bones on the shore, including large, small, and even many national-level protected animals.

"No wonder Old Du is unwilling to go to Tiandu Peak. This is the road to death!" Wushuang frowned. It is hard to imagine that these large animals are difficult to kill with guns. What exactly did they bite to death by them?

"Master Shuang, you." They are now standing almost at the highest point of the nearby waters. The view here is relatively wide, and you can see the distance of thousands of meters on both sides.

Just by the river about five hundred meters away from them, a wild duck was falling on the water and enjoying it comfortably. He said, "When you look carefully, there seems to be a black shadow approaching under the water behind you. Wushuang is careful, right? The black shadow is all the adults, and it is quietly approaching the wild duck, waiting for the opportunity."

A thud...haha...the pheasant was frightened and screamed. But it only screamed twice, and then it was immediately pulled under the water by the black shadow. Finally, the water turned blood red. A duck feather floated on the water surface.

"Damn... there is actually a water monkey in the Yellow River?" Wushuang was really honest. The underwater shadow showed up just now. Isn't that just a water monkey?

According to legend, the water monkey is the result of the drowning child's resentment. The thing is extremely powerful underwater and can not come out for breathing a day and a night. It does not eat fish, but only eats creatures on the land. It does not drag people down like a water ghost to find a substitute. It is truly eating people!

"Fortunately, we didn't get off the boat. This old Du head didn't know the situation upstream, so he gave us blind command. If we were on the boat, we would probably not be able to get here alive." Wushuang was frightened.
