With the dual help of Shangjia's life-saving pills and Qin Hai's True Essence treatment, Xia Meng's injury recovered quickly, and she was able to walk normally after resting for less than half an hour.
But as for which way to go next, everyone was divided.
Qin Hai naturally wanted to go down the mountain, but Xia Meng insisted on looking for her missing fifth uncle, and was very persistent. She would go on even if no one accompanied her.
Shang Qiu Shan began to beg Qin Hai again, but Qin Hai couldn't resist this boy, so he had to agree to accompany them to continue walking, but he had agreed in advance that they would have to walk for another hour at most, and if they couldn't find anyone again, they would have to return.
More than half an hour later, there was a loud rumbling sound in front of them, and then a waterfall appeared in front of everyone. The loud rumbling sound was caused by the waterfall falling from a high altitude and hitting the pool.
The waterfall is very beautiful, silvery white, but looking at the waterfall, Xia Meng's cold eyes showed a solemn look.
"This is where Uncle Wu disappeared!"
It turned out that a few days ago, Xia Meng and her group of three came to the upper reaches of the waterfall from the other side. Her fifth uncle accidentally slipped and fell into the water, and fell into the deep pool below along with the waterfall.
But when Xia Meng and Liu Jun went through all the trouble to get to the bottom of the waterfall, they found no sign of Uncle Wu.
No one can be seen in life, no corpse in death.
Qin Hai carefully looked at the ditch downstream of the waterfall. There were rugged rocks and the water flow was not large. With the current speed of the water, it would be difficult to wash away a corpse.
In addition, there has been no rain or snow in the Bafen Mountain area in the past few days, so if her fifth uncle really died, he would never be washed away by the water and must still be around here.
Obviously, Xia Meng and Liu Jun must have searched carefully downstream, but found nothing.
"Could it be that your fifth uncle left on his own?" Shang Qiushan suddenly asked Xia Meng.
Xia Meng shook his head, "Uncle Wu is a very cautious person. If he is fine, he will definitely come to us and leave a mark near the pool. But we didn't find any marks, so something must have happened to Uncle Wu.
"
The scene was quiet for a moment, and Shang Tianxin suddenly said: "Is there something like a piranha in this pool?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Tianxin turned pale with fright, and involuntarily moved away from the pool and hid behind Qin Hai. Xia Meng's face also changed suddenly, and she stared at the bottomless pool.
It seems like there really is some kind of terrifying creature in the pool.
"Everyone, please be careful and don't get close to the pool. No matter whether what Tiantian said is true or not, it's better to be careful!" Qin Hai has experienced too many horrible things, so he doesn't think Shang Tianxin's statement is too exaggerated, so he hurriedly came out
Sound to remind everyone.
boom!
A thunder suddenly exploded above everyone's heads. Shang Tianxin screamed in fright and hugged Qin Hai tightly. Looking at her, she even wanted to stuff herself into Qin Hai's arms.
Qin Hai patted Shang Tianxin's back gently, comforting her while looking up at the sky in surprise. Only then did he realize that the sky was already very gloomy, and the spring thunder had already exploded just after the Spring Festival this year, which was rare.
Looking at the sky, Qin Hai said loudly: "The temperature is high today, I'm afraid it won't snow. We either have to go down the mountain quickly, or we have to find a place to hide from the rain."
As soon as he finished speaking, raindrops began to fall.
Qin Hai frowned. In this wilderness, surrounded by cliffs, it was difficult to find a place to take shelter from the rain.
"I remember there is a cave ahead. Let's go there to take shelter from the rain."
Liu Jun said suddenly, and then led everyone towards the other side of the waterfall. Not long after, a hole was revealed on the cliff, and the group hurriedly got in.
The rain soon became heavy, and there was even a hazy rain and fog in the valley, making it difficult for them to see in the distance.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Shang Tianxin shivered as her clothes were half wet. Qin Hai quickly held her little hand and transferred his true energy.
"Thank you, brother Qin Hai!" The little girl has a sweet mouth and cute appearance. She is indeed very lovable. Qin Hai smiled at her, turned to look at Xia Meng who was standing at the entrance of the cave, and said in a deep voice:
"Miss Xia, you should tell us the truth now!"
Xia Meng was startled, then turned to look at Qin Hai, "Mr. Qin, what do you mean?"
Qin Hai said: "Liu Jun said that you went into the mountain to find the golden-armored snake, but I discovered the golden-armored snake in Bafen Mountain. Liu Jun must have told you. But you never asked me about it from the beginning to the end.
Tell me about the news about the golden-armored snake. What are you planning to do when you go into the mountains? We have been wandering around in the mountains with you for a long time, so we can’t be fooled by you as fools."
Xia Meng's eyes were slightly stern, "I'm sorry, I can't say. I didn't ask you to stay, you can leave at any time."
Qin Hai glanced at Shang Qiushan next to him with a joking expression, "Did you hear that, does it feel good to have a hot face against a cold butt?"
Shang Qiushan's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Shang Tianxin suddenly said angrily: "You are too much. My brother and Qin Hai have been helping you. They even saved your life. But you have been lying to us and treating us as your own."
The enemy is really too much!"
Xia Meng glanced at Shang Tianxin with cold eyes, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble, but from now on, we each go our separate ways!"
After saying that, Xia Meng suddenly rushed out of the cave and ran towards the waterfall in the rain.
Liu Jun was shocked and quickly chased after him. Shang Qiushan was stunned for a moment and wanted to follow him out, but was pulled hard by Shang Tianxin.
"Brother, you are not in her eyes at all. It's useless even if you follow her!"
"Tiantian, let go. You don't have to worry about my brother's affairs!" Shang Qiushan threw away Shang Tianxin and rushed into the rain and fog. Lao Mu had no choice but to say to Qin Hai: "Mr. Qin, please take care of Miss, I
Go follow the young master." After saying that, Lao Mu quickly followed.
"Brother, brother!" Shang Tianxin stood at the entrance of the cave and kept shouting his name to Shang Qiu Shan, but Shang Qiu Shan had no intention of looking back, and Shang Tianxin was so angry that she burst into tears.
"Brother Qin Hai, do you think my brother is stupid? For the sake of an inexplicable woman, he doesn't even care about his own safety, and he doesn't even care about me! If he does this again, I won't want him as my brother!"
Shang Tianxin was so angry that she pursed her lips.
This was the first time Qin Hai saw Shang Tianxin angry. He didn't expect that he would be so cute, and he couldn't help laughing for a while.
"Brother Qin Hai, you are still laughing at me! I can see that you are not a good person either!"
Shang Tianxin stamped her feet, turned away from Qin Hai, and pouted her little mouth.
Qin Hai held back his laughter and asked, "Didn't you keep sending me good guy cards when we went up the mountain just now? Why are you not a good guy now?"
"You are not a good person to begin with. Yesterday you... you still peeked at me!"
A blush suddenly appeared on Shang Tianxin's face. When she lowered her head, her chin almost rested on her plump chest.
Qin Hai coughed twice in embarrassment, "It was an accident yesterday. I wasn't planning on seeing it!"
"Phew!" Shang Tianxin couldn't help but laugh again, turned around and looked at Qin Hai, her eyes sparkling, "Brother Qin Hai, why do you guys like to look at our girls?"
