Grandpa is such a bird

He looked carefully, but there was nothing there. The pool water was as smooth as a mirror under the night, reflecting the shadows of several people.

"Misunderstanding?" Yin Chenglan asked.

Lingjiang can't be sure, the water is too variable, and the slightest movement of wind and grass can make ripples. The water here is so quiet that people's voices seem to disturb the water surface.

Ling Jiang stared at the water for a while, and found nothing unusual, so he planned to get up. At this moment, even pressing the song, he suddenly called out. Ling Jiang quickly lowered his head to look, but saw nothing, only a series of tiny bubbles coming from the pool. The water popped out.

But in a moment, the bubbles disappeared.

Hearing the movement, Yin Qingyi and others also came out, asking what happened, Yin Chenglan said briefly, Yin Qingyi took a light breath: "Su He and the others will..."

The faces of the people present all sank.

This possibility is too great.

It can be seen from the campsite chosen by Su He that after Yin Qingyi led the people back to the tribe first, Lannar Lake changed. The original lake receded, and a piece of fragmented plains divided by small ponds appeared. The ice snake they were looking for was not on the land where the lake water receded, and the only thing they could think of was that the ice snake dived into the steaming pool with the lake water.

These small pools are filled with hot air during the day, and they cannot see the scene in the pools. They are vigilant and do not approach the water, but at night, the heat dissipates, and the pool water is crystal clear, and they can see at a glance that there are pebbles and water plants inside, and there are no ice snakes. No trace, no danger.

After five or six days, some people couldn't bear it anymore.

First, wash your face, feet, and body with hot water by the pool. After a few days, there was no movement in the pool. The brave man was about to make a move. After a few trials, he went into the water. Su He, who has always been vigilant, relaxed his tense nerves due to the hardship and exhaustion of the month. Thinking of seeing his wife and his step-son whom he had never met, he untied his clothes, folded them neatly in the tent, and got into the water. The danger happened at this moment.

After inferring what happened, Yin Qingyi could hardly stand on her feet. Fortunately, Toya quickly supported her. Her throat tightened and she held onto Toya tightly. She looked at Yin Chenglan in disbelief, her eyes full of fear: "Su He..."

Yin Chenglan said: "Mother, don't worry, there should be a way."

Squatting on the edge of the pool, Ling Jiang flicked the water, and suddenly stood up and walked to Yin Qingyi, saying, "There is indeed a way."

His expression was full of certainty: "These pools look weird, but they are not necessarily dangerous. They should still be alive, otherwise it would be impossible to send a message to the letter bird and let it carry the message back to the tribe."

Yin Qingyi's lips trembled, and she looked at him expectantly. Lingjiang was soon defeated by her eyes, unable to deal with the old and weak, women and children, so she bent her lower lip awkwardly, trying to show a soothing smile: "I'm going into the water!" Let's see if there's anything wrong."

"No." Yin Chenglan heard it and immediately refused.

Ling Jiang said: "Although the water looks very clear, there may be something blinding our eyes. I suspect that there must be something at the bottom of the pool that we cannot see, otherwise a living person cannot disappear out of thin air. I think Go down and have a look."

Yin Chenglan frowned, and said with a bad expression, "I don't agree."

Ling Jiang said calmly: "I make my own decision."

"You—" Yin Chenglan and Lingjiang's eyes met in mid-air, and they collided fiercely. Neither of them would back down. To persuade anyone, I had no choice but to hold Lingjiang's hand.

Ling Jiang smiled at her and said, "I'll discuss it with him." Then he couldn't help but push Yin Chenglan to a distance, and didn't stop until he couldn't see them clearly.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Yin Chenglan said, "If you are taken away, how I will find you and whether there is any danger down there are all your guesses."

Ling Jiang said: "Then do you have a better way?"

"We have a long-term plan, I..." Yin Chenglan didn't speak, and was kissed by Lingjiang who bent down.

The kiss was extremely long and lingering, with lips and tongue entangled. Ling Jiang knelt in front of him on one knee and put his arms around Yin Chenglan's neck. The latter leaned forward slightly in a wheelchair and held Ling Jiang's waist.

After the kiss was over, Ling Jiang licked the corner of his lips lingeringly, sucking his fingers like a little beast after a full meal: "Listen to me, they can send a message to Xinniao to show that they are not dead, but were just taken somewhere, They can't get out there, but they can summon letter birds to send messages. So let me see if there is any mystery at the bottom of the pool, and even if I am taken away, I won't be trapped like them. Get in and I'll get out."

Yin Chenglan knew that what he said was reasonable, but it was hard to let him go.

Lingjiang had no choice but to say: "Tie a rope around my waist. If there is any abnormality, you can pull me up immediately, okay?"

The corners of Yin Chenglan's eyes stretched into a sharp line, and his resistance was obvious. Lingjiang didn't urge him. After waiting for a while, Yin Chenglan's straight back relaxed, and he reluctantly agreed.

Back to the edge of the pool, the sky was already hazy, and a faint white mist slowly appeared on the water surface, and the situation inside could not be seen again.

They couldn't go into the water during the day, so they had to search around at dawn, but they found nothing except large and small steaming pools. Lingjiang wanted to see if they could find a scale of an ice snake, but they didn't find anything either. .

Yin Chenglan sat on the open space looking at Lingjiang with a sullen face. Yin Qingyi walked to him and looked in his direction: "Lingjiang is a good boy."

Yin Chenglan curled his lips in a wry smile, but he was too disobedient. He took out the small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to his mother: "This is a gift he wanted to give you before, but he never had a chance to give it to you."

Yin Qingyi was surprised, and when she called the cloth bag, she found that it was a hair band, cut from fine silver satin, with dark embroidered silver patterns on the edge, and the strangest thing was that the ends of the ribbon were not glass beads or tassels, but a handful Pale yellow feathers - two beautiful long feathers are surrounded by small downy feathers, and the sun shines on them, plating the feathers with a circle of fine gilt.

Yin Chenglan hadn't opened it before, but now he was stunned when he saw it, staring at the ribbon in his mother's hand inexplicably, thinking that Lingjiang didn't seem to return to its original shape for a while, if he didn't look at the two long feathers on it, Wrong, it should be the little tail on Lingjiang's body that spread like a fan.

This kind of intention is really costly, no wonder I have to be willing to imagine the original shape, it turns out that the little butt is bald.

Yin Chenglan stared at the ribbon with eyes and nose, and was a little reluctant to give it.

The days in northern Xinjiang are very short, and it will soon be dark, but the pools are still white and misty, and it may take some time to wait.

Sure enough, when it was halfway through the night, the water in the pool was still hot, but the smoke faded a little bit, and then quickly dispersed into the night.

The moonlight flew like a waterfall, illuminating the small pools brightly, Ling Jiang tied a rope around his waist, Yin Chenglan caught it, and tied a tight knot around his waist.

After fastening, Yin Chenglan looked at him without saying a word, with a deep groove between his brows.

Yin Qingyi said worriedly: "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

Ling Jiang nodded, accidentally saw the ribbon tied in her hair, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly averted her eyes.

Ling Jiang took off his gauze jacket, stood beside a pool that could only accommodate four or five people to soak in, looked up at Yin Chenglan, and pretended to be casual, "Don't want to say something?"

Yin Chenglan stretched out his hand, pulled down his neck, and kissed his forehead in front of everyone: "Go."

Ling Jiang heard someone gasp around him, raised one eyebrow, turned his head contentedly, stopped talking nonsense, and jumped into the water decisively.

The moment he entered the water with the rope, Yin Chenglan clenched his hands on his legs.

The water was hot, a comfortable temperature.

This was Lingjiang's first feeling when he jumped into the water. He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw that the people on the bank who were distorted by the waves were also looking at him nervously.

He pulled the rope around his waist, indicating that he was fine, and then swam deep. In fact, these pools are not dangerous with the naked eye, and everything in the water can be seen clearly. He sank a few feet, to the bottom of the pool.

The bottom of the pool was full of black pebbles, with dark green aquatic plants swaying between the crevices. Ling Jiang touched the bottom of the pool and found that the bottom of the pool really seemed to be just the bottom of the pool, with no tricks or interlayers.

Where did the people who disappeared from here go?

Just as Ling Jiang was feeling the pebbles in doubt, suddenly a string of air bubbles appeared near his hand, as if something had swam past his wrist, and the air bubbles were produced by a fish vigorously wagging its tail.

Ling Jiang tried his best to open his eyes wide to see what it was, but even if he tried his best in the water, the place he could see was only ten inches away.

But he has already determined that there must be something in the water.

Could it be that unknown snake?Ling Jiang held his breath and thought silently.The people on the shore probably saw him sinking at the bottom of the water for a long time without moving, so they pulled the rope, and Lingjiang pulled it back, intending to go back to the shore to tell them the news.

Just when he turned around and was about to float up, something suddenly wrapped around his wrist and dragged him to the bottom of the water. He couldn't feel what it felt like, as if a more intense current of water was entangled with him. hands, desperately pulling him to the bottom of the water.

Lingjiang was caught off guard, and his body sank quickly. In just an instant, he was dragged to the bottom of the pool again. His hand was quickly pressed against the pebbles, but what surprised him was that the stone was hard. The sense of touch disappeared without a trace, and he vaguely saw that his hand penetrated into the pebbles, and then touched something.

At the same time that Lingjiang fell sharply, the people on the shore began to grab the rope and pull him out. The two forces tore at Lingjiang. what.

is the wind.

There is wind in the stone, so the bottom of the pool is not as big as they imagined.

Ling Jiang's eyes were filled with joy, he held his breath tightly, pulled his arms violently, and felt the wind around him relax for a moment. Taking advantage of this moment, Ling Jiang quickly turned around and swam towards the surface of the water. At the same time, countless air currents were chasing him. Reluctantly entangled his ankles and calves.

He floated up all of a sudden, and only had time to say loudly, "The stone is empty," before he was dragged into the water by the air current that had wrapped around his waist.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the pool.

Yin Chenglan tried his best to shout: "Lingjiang!"

There was nothing left in the small pool, only a string of bubbles that had been stirred up by the constant struggle remained, one after another popped out of the water and shattered.

And the rope that was originally tied around Lingjiang's waist broke in the water.

Yin Chenglan looked at the torn rope with a pale face.

wow.

Lingjiang felt as if he had surfaced from the bottom of the water. Before he could react, he was brought into a whirling wind again. He was so dizzy that he couldn't even open his eyes. Just when he felt that he was about to When he passed out, suddenly, the wind stopped, and he fell down, hitting a hard ground.

Lingjiang felt a burning pain in his stomach. It should be that the rotation just now caused acid to flow back into his stomach. He lay on the ground for a long time before pressing his abdomen and barely opening his eyes.

When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his pupils shrank, and he could hardly believe it.
