Chapter Forty-One: Keeping the Big and the Young
Qin Wan and Xiaolian walked along the water for several miles, but no clues were found.
"If you haven't reached the shore after such a long distance, you must have drowned." Xiaolian's legs were sore from walking, and she couldn't help but asked: "Could it be on the other side?"
"Go over and have a look."
Since the horse is here, Xiao Jun and Xiao Lie must be nearby.
Those men in black were not far away either, and she had to find Xiao Jun and Xiao Lie before those people.
"Ah? In the past?"
Xiaolian looked at both sides of the river. There was a width of several feet between the two banks. If the current was calm, you could still swim across it, but the current here was very fast. If you jumped into the water, you would probably be washed away.
Moreover, it has already entered autumn and it is night again. The air is extremely cold. Ordinary men would not dare to enter the water easily. What’s more, they are both women?
Qin Wan saw Xiaolian's thoughts, raised his lips and smiled softly, saying: "Don't worry, I won't let you be in danger."
As she spoke, she climbed up to a big tree nearby and took out a shooting gun from her arms.
Pressing the trigger, a steel wire shot out from the muzzle of the gun, suddenly sprang out and shot diagonally into the trunk of a giant tree on the other side.
She cut off part of the remaining steel wire and tied it firmly to the tree trunk.
Xiaolian looked at it dumbfounded, "What is this?"
How could such a thin line reach the other side?
What she didn't understand even more was why Qin Wan did this? Did he expect them to walk through such a thin line?
Qin Wan jumped down from the tree, took off his coat, tore it into two pieces, handed one to Xiaolian, and said: "I will lift you up, you hang the strip of cloth on this line, and hold it tightly with both hands."
Swing the two ends of the cloth to the other side."
Swing over?
Xiaolian was stunned for a moment, then looked at this end of the steel wire, and then looked at the other end of the steel wire on the river bank. The other end was about half shorter than this side. As long as you hold on tightly, you should be able to swing across it easily.
She looked at Qin Wan in surprise. She didn't expect that Qin Wan could come up with such a method!
Looking at the several feet of river running across the middle, Xiaolian couldn't help but feel a little excited.
This looks so exciting!
She has never played like this before.
Qin Wan explained it carefully to Xiaolian, repeatedly told her to hold on to the cloth tightly, and then lifted her onto him.
Xiaolian followed Qin Wan's instructions and hung the cloth strip on the steel wire, while she held on to the cloth strip tightly.
"Are you ready?"
"alright!"
Xiaolian swallowed nervously and excitedly.
Qin Wan below pushed her suddenly, and in an instant, Xiaolian's figure swayed along the steel wire.
The fierce mountain wind blew past my ears, which was a bit cold, but also had an indescribable refreshing feeling.
Xiaolian felt as if she was flying. She had lived for more than ten years, and this was the most interesting thing she had ever encountered!
At that moment, she actually wished that the river was longer so that she could swim longer.
But within a few breaths, she had reached the other side.
Landed completely unharmed.
When she came to her senses, Qin Wan had already swung over from the other side, dodged, and landed gracefully.
Then, Qin Wan cut the steel wire and recovered the steel claw head into the space.
These are limited resources. Use less and less. The steel wire cannot be recycled for the time being, but the steel claw head cannot be discarded easily.
"What is this thing of yours? It's so amazing?" Xiaolian's eyes lit up with excitement.
Qin Wan said lightly: "It's just a small mechanism. If you like it, I'll give you one after I take Xiao Lie out of danger."
Although the resources are limited, she still has more than twenty in her space.
As long as Xiaolian can help find Xiao Lie, it's no big deal with a wire gun.
"Really?!" Xiaolian grinned happily, unable to hide her expectation at all.
Qin Wan smiled, turned around and walked upstream along the river bank.
Xiaolian hurriedly chased after her, her slutty look was completely conquered by Qin Wan.
The two walked along the river bank for a few more kilometers and returned to their original location, but still found no clues.
"Maybe they were separated from Ma before and are not here at all." Xiao Lian said.
Qin Wan looked at the direction of the river upstream and narrowed his eyes.
There was a waterfall vaguely visible in front of her. Her heart suddenly moved and she said, "Let's go upstream and have a look."
Xiaolian was right, maybe they had been separated from their horses upstream.
The two of them continued to walk upstream. At this time, the sky had turned white, the morning light was dim, and mist gradually appeared in the mountains.
"Huh?"
Arriving in front of the waterfall, Xiaolian seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
"What's wrong?" Qin Wan asked.
Xiaolian said: "The entrance to the valley is near here. Do you think they found the entrance by chance?"
Qin Wan looked around and found no trace of footprints.
But apart from the valley Xiaolian mentioned, she had no other clues.
"Okay, then let's go to the valley you mentioned."
Outside the entrance of the valley, there is an extremely dense jungle. At this time, thick fog is spreading. If Xiaolian had not known the way, it would be impossible for others to discover the secret place inside if they passed by.
"If we hadn't seen two berry bushes here, my husband and I wouldn't have discovered this place. Hehe... the valley inside is so beautiful, it's like a fairyland on earth!" Xiaolian said excitedly.
Qin Wan carefully looked at the surrounding situation and asked: "Is there any water source in the valley?"
"Of course, there are picturesque mountains and rivers there. My husband and I even built a small hut there together."
"So, the water source should have the same source as this river." Qin Wan thought.
Xiaolian touched her chin, "Maybe..."
She doesn't quite understand this stuff.
It was pitch dark in the cave. Qin Wan took out a fire stick from his arms and lit it.
Xiaolian was originally worried that she didn't bring a fire fold, but she didn't expect Qin Wan to light it. She couldn't help but get closer and take a look at Qin Wan's chest.
Hmm...it looks pretty big.
Were all these things inside?
"What are you looking at?" Qin Wan asked when seeing her staring at him.
Xiaolian suddenly blushed and waved her hands quickly, "No, it's nothing."
She was secretly glad in her heart. Fortunately, it was very dark in the cave and under the firelight, it was not possible to see how red her face was. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed to death.
"By the way, there is a poisonous bat in front of you. If you get bitten, it will be serious. I have been bitten before and my body was swollen into a big ball. Fortunately, my husband brought detoxifying pills, otherwise I would be doomed." Xiaolian
With that said, he handed Qin Wan a small green pill, "I just went back and picked up a bottle. Let's take it first, so we don't have to be afraid later."
