The next morning, when Lu Xuan woke up, the rain outside had already stopped.
"Handsome boy, you were the most anxious yesterday, why are you the last one to get up today?"
As soon as Lu Xuan opened his eyes, he found that the five people except himself were already ready to go, and it seemed that he was the last one again.
"Lu Xuan, the rain has stopped, but the road outside seems difficult to walk on."
After drying all night, the four girls' wet clothes from yesterday had dried completely. They had already changed into normal clothes. Leng Mengyao naturally carried the compound bow on his back and pointed to the sky outside.
Lu Xuan got up and looked outside.
After a night of rain, the sky seemed to have changed its hue, appearing completely new. A brilliant orange-red peeked out from the horizon, shedding the first rays of sunlight onto the earth. Its golden glow pierced the mist, like holy water showered down by the gods, a gentle yet powerful sight.
All around, the trees washed by rain became more lush, with crystal water droplets hanging on the leaves, like pearls inlaid on jade, sparkling with dazzling light.
The air is filled with the fresh fragrance of soil, flowers and plants. It is the unique fragrance of the earth after the rain. Taking a deep breath seems to be able to wash away the dust in your soul.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, and suddenly felt his mind became clearer.
"Lu Xuan, are we really going? We walked across the single-plank bridge when we came back. Do we have to walk across the single-plank bridge again this time if we push the cart?"
At this moment, although Shen Keyin had completed her preparations, she was still a little worried when she thought of the difficult journey back that day.
Lu Xuan withdrew his gaze and returned to the cave. He thought about the question that Shen Keyin had just raised, then turned to look at Taylor and Aphrodite.
"Taylor, Aphrodite, think about it, is there any other way to get to Charlie's tribe? As for the single-plank bridge, I think it's better not to take it if you can."
In fact, not only Shen Keyin was afraid, even Lu Xuan was somewhat resistant to the single-plank bridge. Moreover, this time his group needed to carry a cart to transport supplies. Just imagine, how could this heavy cart safely cross the narrow single-plank bridge?
"Brother Lu Xuan, if we don't take that road, we can only take the original road, which is the road to the Holy Spring. However, we can skip the cave and walk southwest of the waterfall after crossing the Holy Spring. We will then pass a hill and walk a little further before reaching the outskirts of Charlie's tribe."
Taylor and Aphrodite are the two people in Lu Xuan's group who know the terrain of the Holy Spring in the west best. Lu Xuan naturally wants to ask their opinions in detail, but after listening to Taylor's narration, Lu Xuan has a question in his mind.
"Taylor, you just said to go southwest of the waterfall? If I remember correctly, there doesn't seem to be a road southwest of the waterfall?"
Although Lu Xuan's memory is definitely not as good as Leng Mengyao and Taylor, he still has some memory of the terrain of the waterfall. He really didn't see any road to the southwest of the waterfall mentioned by Taylor.
"Brother Lu Xuan, there is indeed a way, but... you have to go through the waterfall..."
Taylor hesitated for a moment, then pointed westward awkwardly.
"Crossing the waterfall? Wouldn't that mean we have to risk getting soaked to the skin and bravely fight the raging water?"
Yin Yichen's reaction was surprisingly quick this time, and she couldn't help but picture the thrilling scene in her mind.
After hearing this, Leng Mengyao and Shen Keyin looked at each other, obviously worried about this "way of going".
"Crossing the waterfall? Is that safe? Is it dangerous?"
As the team leader, Lu Xuan always puts the safety of the team first, so the first thing he considers at the moment is the safety issue. If he fails to get the thing and gets swept away by the waterfall, it would be a big loss.
"It's dangerous... a little bit, but I've been there twice and only got soaked."
Taylor's answer was somewhat forced. After all, he had walked this road twice by himself and passed it safely, but that didn't mean the road was 100% safe.
"How about you four not go? Taylor and I can go. It's just a truckload of goods. There's no point in having more people."
"No, absolutely not. You two can't do it."
When Yin Yichen heard that Lu Xuan was going with Taylor, she was the first to raise her hand in objection.
"Yes, Lu Xuan, it's too risky for the two of you to go. Besides, you'll have to dig, load, and transport the goods. If something really goes wrong, there'll be no one to help."
"Yes, Meng Yao is right. I don't agree with you two going alone."
Leng Mengyao and Shen Keyin also expressed their opposition at the same time.
"How about this, the four of you find a secluded spot at the holy spring, while Taylor and I push the cart across the waterfall to dig out those supplies."
Although Lu Xuan would not easily give up the supplies he had worked so hard to obtain, he also did not want the four girls to take risks with him. However, at this time, the four girls all opposed his plan, and Lu Xuan was no match for them. After thinking for a moment, he came up with a compromise plan.
"Two handsome guys, I can go with you. It's just a matter of getting washed over. Think of it as a free whitewater rafting trip."
Miss Yin is really bold. What originally sounded quite dangerous turned into a water entertainment activity when she spoke of it.
"Lu Xuan, this road is indeed not easy to walk on, so everyone needs to be mentally prepared in advance."
Leng Mengyao pointed to the wet ground outside and asked a very realistic question.
"We definitely have to go. After all, we have so much food. If the rain takes it away, it would be a waste. So, let's take the old road we came from. Once we get to the waterfall, we'll act accordingly. If we really need to cross the waterfall, Taylor and I will go over there, and you guys stay where you are to meet us."
As the team leader, Lu Xuan made the final decision.
Fifteen minutes later, the six people were ready and headed towards the holy spring again.
However, the road was just as Leng Mengyao had said. Not only was it extremely muddy, but there was also water in many places, so everyone had to take a detour.
"Handsome boy, I think since we took all the delicious food from Richard's place, he must be furious. Maybe he's already gone to seek revenge on that Oriental woman. Hehehe... Then maybe we can go to their tribe and have a look around. There's no need to walk to that waterfall."
Yin Yichen is quite good at imagination. She has already copied the other party's hometown and even wants to go there for a visit.
"Do you really think Richard is stupid? Even if this guy really wants to go out for revenge, he won't take everyone with him. He's been fooled once, so this time he'll definitely leave half of his people to guard the house."
Lu Xuan naturally didn't take Yin Yichen's words seriously, but...
It seems that some things are hard to say...
Just like now, Lu Xuan underestimated Miss Yin's prediction, and at the same time, overestimated Richard...
