Chapter 353: Discovering the Waterway Out of the Mountain 1

The further you go out here, the fewer trees there are, and the mud on the ground is no longer the soft black mud, but sandy ground like a beach.

Is there a sea here?

But I denied it again. I was in the southwest, not the south, so there was no sea here. It could be a river, but it could be a river.

She quickened her pace and walked forward, and sure enough, she saw a river stretching before her.

The river is very quiet, like a sleeping little princess. The river flows silently into the distance, the water reveals a lush green color, and in the calm areas where the ripples are, there grow trees of the same green color. The branches and leaves are lush, and there is no trace of autumn or shadow of winter. The drooping branches had not yet touched the water surface, and a few wild ducks were frightened by the sudden appearance of a bird and flew up, landed in the distance, and then swam freely again.

I was so shocked by the beautiful scenery that I blurted out a line of poetry: "The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together, the autumn water and the sky are the same color." But after calming down, Yike felt that he had read the poem wrong, it should be "freedom in the vast waves".

Yike found that he was standing in a river valley. There were cliffs on both sides of the river. The cliffs were straight and steep. The river flowed out from the middle of the cliffs, and it was unknown where it flowed.

The stream was not wide, only about twenty meters at most. Yi Ke really wanted to explore it, but it was getting late. She was afraid that if she went back too late her godfather and godmother would worry, so she had to quickly return to the stream where she came from and wade across.

"Sister Yike."

A scream startled her and she looked up. Wow, there was someone hiding in the tree and she hadn't noticed it.

The one who shouted was Du Jiankang. He jumped down from the tree and rushed towards Yi Ke quickly. Yike was so scared that he quickly dodged to the side. Du Jiankang stopped when he got in front of Yike.

Li Youcai, Li Xiaoshan and Chen Dawang also came down from the tree and ran quickly to Yike.

"Sister Yike, where have you been? We've been looking for you for a long time and couldn't find you. We've searched everywhere around here. How come you suddenly show up again?" Du Jiankang asked a series of questions.

Yi Ke did not answer Du Jiankang, but greeted Li Youcai first, "Hello, Uncle Li, are you here to see me too?"

Li Youcai looked at Yi Ke carefully and found that Yi Ke did not look injured, so he felt relieved. He said angrily, "You kid, you didn't tell anyone that you were going into the mountains. If you had told them, they would have let you go. Don't you know that everyone will be worried if you go into the mountains without telling anyone?"

Yi Ke lowered his head in shame and said, "I'm sorry, I thought it wasn't far from here and I could go back quickly. You guys have so many things to do, how can I bother you? Besides, I'm not afraid of ordinary dangers."

Yi Ke asked curiously again: "What are you doing in the tree?"

"What are you doing? Resting." Li Youcai grumbled in dissatisfaction, "We couldn't see any trace of you when we chased you here, and we were tired, so we just climbed up the tree to rest. How come you suddenly appeared again? We have searched everywhere around you."

Yike pointed to the other side of the stream and said, "I've crossed the stream, so of course you can't find me. You came to look for me, does my godmother know?"

Du Jiankang interrupted and said, "Mother knew that you went into the mountains alone, and she was crying at home."

Yike:? ? ? ? ?

Chen Dawang added firewood: "I heard Aunt Cuihua scolding Uncle Du."

Li Xiaoshan ignited: "Aunt Cuihua said that if anything happens to you, she will die."

Yike: I have become a national treasure, the panda. I can’t stand any bumps or scratches.

Yike knew that everyone was worried about her, so she said a lot of nice things to her, and then no one continued to blame her openly or secretly for not paying attention to safety.

Thinking that his godmother was worried at home, he urged everyone to go back quickly, so everyone rushed home without stopping. When I got home, I was greeted by Wang Cuihua's full body check. Wang Cuihua, the godmother with red eyes, scolded me as she checked me: "How could you sneak into the mountains alone, kid? Don't you know there are many wild animals in the mountains?"

Yike obediently allowed his godmother Wang Cuihua to check him, muttering, "It's winter now, there are no wild beasts, they have already gone to their dens for the winter."

Du Qingcang snorted coldly, "It's winter. It's only early winter now. Those beasts that haven't stored enough food for the winter are now the craziest."

Godmother Wang Cuihua patted Yike several times and cried, "You kid, you really make me so heartbroken. What if, what if something happens? Aren't you trying to kill me? Tell me, do you want to go into the mountains alone next time?"

Yike hurriedly hugged his godmother Wang Cuihua's arm and wiped her tears with a towel, while assuring her: "Godmother, I was wrong. I will never dare to go into the mountains alone next time. I promise. Really, please don't cry. Your crying makes me feel so uncomfortable."

Wang Cuihua looked at Yi Ke with red eyes and said, "You have to promise me that there won't be a next time, okay? If there is a next time, I will go to the mountains to find you by myself."

Yike raised two fingers and swore: "I promise there won't be a next time, I swear, I..."

"Okay, okay, it's enough that you promised. Why swear again? I believe you will do what you say." Wang Cuihua pulled down the raised hand.

"Mom, we've run a long way and are hungry. Can we eat first? Then we can criticize her." Du Jiankang came to Yi Ke's rescue.

Wang Cuihua hurried to the kitchen, saying as she walked, "I asked Xiaoying and Yue'er to go to the canteen to bring the food back for you. Come in and eat."

Du Qingcang thanked Li Youcai and the others, and also said that he would help them get food from the cafeteria and send it back to their homes. Li Youcai and his companions went home to eat.

Yike and Du Jiankang entered the kitchen and found that their godfather and godmother had not eaten yet. Their food was still in the pot in the kitchen, being warmed together with Yike and his sister's food.

"Godfather, godmother, you haven't eaten either?" Yi Ke said awkwardly.

Godmother Wang Cuihua said angrily: "I'm so angry because of you, how can I eat anything else?"

Yi Ke smiled and handed Wang Cuihua's meal to her with both hands, saying kindly, "Godmother, calm down, calm down. Now that you are calm, you can eat two big bowls."

Wang Cuihua flicked Yi Ke's forehead, took the bowl and said, "You can just be naughty. When you become a mother, you will understand our worries and fears."

Yi Ke nodded obediently and said sweetly, "Mom, I understand. A mother worries about her child even when he is thousands of miles away."

"I'm glad you understand your mother's worries. You won't do it again next time. Tell me, what did you do in the mountains? It can't be for fun, right?" Du Qingcang asked while eating.

"How is that possible? I have nothing to do, so why would I go to the mountains to play?" "Yike said unhappily, ""I went to the mountains to look for bees. I found a swarm of bees. I put the beehive next to the hive. From now on, I just need to collect honey. And it looks like an orchard there..."
