Qin Nian was thinking about drinking the mountain spring water and was only interested in walking quickly, so he didn't even see the wild vegetables.
Geng Feng’s laughter spread in the wind: “Xiao Nian, go slower, dig out the wild vegetables when you see them.
This way, even if we can’t find the spring, we won’t be left empty-handed.”
Qin Nian thought of the empty basket yesterday and laughed, but his pace didn't slow down much.
The further you go in, the higher the mountains become and the more rugged the road becomes. Finally, there is no road at all, only thorns.
Geng Feng stopped digging the vegetables when he saw them. He strode up to Qin Nian and made way for her.
He hid his love for Qin Nian, but he didn't dare let Qin Nian know, and even his concern was so secretive.
The two men climbed to the boar hunting site again.
Qin Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed to the mountain: "Yesterday, I heard the sound of water over there."
Geng Feng didn't believe that there would be a spring in this mountain, but he wouldn't do anything to spoil the fun.
"Xiao Nian, are you tired? Let's take a rest and then we can go inside."
After saying this, he took off the water bag and handed it to Qin Nian.
Qin Nian took it, unplugged the water bag, and drank the water like last time. He was really thirsty after climbing the mountain.
When Geng Feng saw Qin Nian drinking water, he knew that she really didn't care about what Tang Xiaomei said, and he felt relieved.
Qin Nian handed the water bag to Geng Feng, and Geng Feng took it.
Qin Nian is a stubborn little girl. She wants to find a mountain spring and walk into the mountains, which will probably take a long time.
Geng Feng wanted to save the water for Qin Nian, as one would get thirsty when climbing a mountain.
He was thirsty too, but he didn't drink a single sip.
After a quarter of an hour's rest, the two continued to climb into the mountain. After climbing for another half an hour, they arrived at the place where Qin Nian heard the sound of the mountain spring yesterday.
"Yesterday, I was afraid there might be wild boars nearby, so I climbed up on that rock and sat down. Then I heard the sound of a mountain spring."
Geng Feng said: "Let's go up and rest for a while."
The two people climbed up the big rock, sat on it and chatted in the mountain breeze.
Qin Nian suddenly became interested and told Geng Feng the story of Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru.
Geng Feng had been educated and could read, but he had never heard such a beautiful story. He was also moved by it.
He was very surprised, looked at Qin Nian and asked: "Where did you hear that? Who told you that?"
Of course Qin Nian couldn't say that she had read it in a book in her previous life. She smiled and said:
“When Dr. Zhou was young, he traveled to many places, met many people, and read many books.
During the years when I studied medicine with him, he would tell me about the places he had visited and many of the things he had seen when he was young in his free time.
This story was told to me by Doctor Zhou. There are many more, I will tell you when I have time.”
Geng Feng liked to hear it very much: "Xiao Nian, tell it now. It's time to take a break anyway. Tell another one."
Qin Nian thought for a moment and said, "Okay, this time I'll tell you a story..."
Before Qin Nian could say what story she was going to tell, she suddenly heard the sound of running water.
Qin Nian's eyes lit up and he turned his head to look at Geng Feng.
Geng Feng also heard it and stood up excitedly, "Xiao Nian, it's really the sound of spring water."
He believed that he was very familiar with the mountain, and he also believed that due to the severe drought, all the springs in the mountain had dried up and it was impossible for there to be any springs left.
He came up the mountain just to accompany Qin Nian.
"Geng Feng, listen carefully, which direction is the sound of the spring coming from?"
Geng Feng listened attentively for a while, then pointed to the southeast and said, "Which direction is the sound of water coming from?
Let’s go find the spring now.”
The two young men were so excited that they jumped off the big rock and climbed towards the southeast.
The mountain became steeper and after diving for more than 300 meters with difficulty, the mountain road was almost in a drooping state.
Every step is upwards and is very strenuous. There are many thorns, all of which are prickly.
Qin Nian's face was scratched in several places. She was so tired that she was panting and sweating profusely.
No wonder the villagers stopped climbing when they reached the halfway point due to hunger. There was no road at all and they couldn’t climb up.
Fortunately, Geng Feng is a hunter and climbs mountains all year round.
He was afraid that Qin Nian would fall, so he held Qin Nian's hand and pulled her up hard.
After the two people climbed over a hill with difficulty, a mountain spring suddenly appeared in front of them.
The spring water flows out from a dozen narrow cracks on the cliff, meandering to a place not far from the cave entrance, and converges into a bay.
Qin Nian reacted first. She laughed loudly and ran towards the spring water:
"We found a spring! We really found a spring."
Geng Feng followed beside her and laughed happily.
But a strange scene happened. The spring water that was gurgling just now quickly receded and disappeared in an instant.
Qin Nian was shocked, stunned, and stood still, at a loss as to what to do.
Afraid of scaring her, Geng Feng stood beside Qin Nian and held her hand: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Geng Feng was only three years older than Qin Nian, but at this moment he was like a fearless mountain god, standing beside the little girl he loved, comforting her, "Don't be afraid."
Qin Nian was simply shocked by this horrifying scene.
She was not afraid at all, because she had the space, and she was even prepared to take Geng Feng into the space.
"how so?"
She came to her senses, turned her head and looked at Geng Feng and asked.
Geng Feng shook his head: "I have been wandering in the mountains for so many years, and I have never seen such a strange thing.
It's okay. If you don't get surprised by something strange, it will disappear by itself. Let's go back."
The scene just now was indeed terrifying. Geng Feng was cautious and afraid of danger, so he planned to go back.
When I get home, I'll ask his parents, maybe they know what happened.
Qin Nian shook her head slightly. She was thinking hard, and suddenly she thought of the short video she had watched in her previous life.
She laughed: "Geng Feng, I know what's going on.
If I'm not mistaken, the mountain spring in front of us should be called Mimosaic Spring, which is formed by the confluence of rainwater on the surface and underground rivers.
Although there has been no rain for three years and no surface water has flowed underground through the cracks in the rocks, the water in the underground river has not been affected at all.
Just like the well in our village, it is drilled above the water line, but here is an underground river.
When the water flow of the underground river reaches a certain height, it will surge to the surface through the cracks.
But there is a caveat with this upwelling water: it is afraid of sound vibrations. As long as there is a loud noise, the water level will change and quickly recede, causing the spring water to disappear.
Just now we were so happy that we both shouted loudly. The water level dropped rapidly due to the shock, causing the spring water to disappear. This must be the case. "
"That's amazing, Xiao Nian, how did you know that?"
Qin Nian could only blame Doctor Zhou, saying that Doctor Zhou had told her the story many years ago, but she was very young at that time and did not believe it at all and treated it all as a joke.
If the scene had not suddenly appeared before her, she would have forgotten about it.
In order to verify what Qin Nian said, the two sat aside and waited.
This is deep in the mountains, and it is very quiet around. There is only the occasional sound of birds singing, all on the treetops.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the two heard the sound of running water again.
Geng Feng and Qin Nian showed surprise on their faces. They looked at each other, stopped talking loudly, and even didn't move.
Soon, a bay of spring water was formed.
Qin Nian couldn't help but exclaim: "It's amazing."
Geng Feng nodded, "It's really amazing."
Both of them spoke in low voices, without making any loud noise, and the pool of water remained there without shrinking.
Geng Feng walked slowly to the spring and squatted down.
