"You didn't see it clearly either!" Everyone was silent, except for the funny Master Qin Guan who muttered.
"I said it was a red-crowned crane! What do you think?" Mu Qingli looked at the silent ending of several people quite comfortably. They really didn't see it.
"It was flying too fast! I couldn't see it clearly!" After thinking for a long time, several people had no choice but to admit defeat.
"Actually, I didn't see it clearly! I was just guessing!" Mu Qingli said, and walked forward with a flashlight in hand.
"...Guess? I thought you actually saw it! Where did the red-crowned crane come from in this place?"
"I also think it can't be a red-crowned crane. Red-crowned cranes should live in swamps with lush aquatic plants and lakes with reeds. They eat fish, shrimps, aquatic insects, and leaves, stems, and fruits of aquatic plants. Is this place suitable for them to survive? It should be possible, right?"
Mu Qingli was also conflicted and hesitant, then added, "But, listening to its call and flying posture, it sounds like a red-crowned crane, except that it's much faster. Could it be a cultivated red-crowned crane? If it is a cultivated red-crowned crane, does its living environment have fewer restrictions?"
"...You mean, the red-crowned crane has become a spirit?" Master Qin Guan followed behind Mu Qingli, feeling a bit curious.
"..." Mu Qingli really wanted to say, "No spirits are allowed after the founding of the country!" She always felt that this sentence was the most smooth.
But, Xiaobai Suzhen is a living example!
Mu Qingli was too lazy to pay attention to him and simply kept silent. "Aren't you aloof, you funny guy? Don't get close to me!"
Master Qin Guan was ignored and couldn't help but snort proudly.
"Where does the water come from?" The further we walked, the more water accumulated in the cave. Fortunately, it didn't reach above our ankles.
After walking forward for almost an hour, I heard the sound of rushing water.
A few people looked at each other and walked forward quickly. It turned out to be an underground river.
Walking along the underground river, you will see that the river flows into another cave, flows straight down and has a slope.
"Are we going down?" Director Zhou asked Mu Qingli, shining a flashlight on the water.
"Seventh Auntie, what do you think?" Mu Qingli asked Seventh Auntie who had been silent all this time.
"Let's go down and take a look! I've lived here for decades, but I've never seen this underground river, nor have I seen the red-crowned cranes you mentioned! It seems that this place does have mysteries! Maybe it can even solve the mystery of the villagers' infertility." Grandma Qi looked at the underground river with a bit of anticipation.
"Let's go! Let's go down and take a look!" Director Zhou made the decision.
"I'll go in front, you all stay behind, and Qi Po will cover the rear!" Mu Qingli made another slight adjustment.
Mu Qingli released his mental power and became like he was at the end of the world, acting as a crisis detector.
She walked slowly and carefully along the bank of the dark river, shining her flashlight at the feet of the people behind her from time to time, fearing that they would slip and fall.
"Ouch!", "Swish~bia!" three times, Master Qin Guan slipped and fell, squatting on his butt.
When he sat down, his big foot kicked Sun Hai's leg. Sun Hai didn't stop in time, "Hey! Hey?", his hands waved in the air for a long time, and he fell into the dark river.
Seeing this, Mu Qingli tied Sun Hai's waist with a vine and pulled hard, so that Sun Hai did not fall. Director Zhou and Zhou Tao also reacted and each took a hand to pull him back completely.
In the dim light, Mu Qingli quietly retracted the vine.
"Oh my god! I'm scared to death! Master Qin Guan! Are you trying to murder me?" Sun Hai couldn't help but want to curse, and he wanted to kick him and let him taste the pain.
"Okay! It's okay, let's go! Stay steady! Sun Hai, switch positions with Master Qin Guan and hold the flashlight!" Mu Qingli handed him the flashlight.
"What are you going to do? Mu Zhiqing!"
"Don't worry about me!" After saying that, he walked straight forward.
With the help of mental perception, Mu Qingli was like having night vision and was able to avoid some sharp corners. Although it was a bit difficult, she was able to walk smoothly this time.
"It's almost the end!" Mu Qingli had already seen the light and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, he lowered his head and walked out of the cave. A strong light shone in front of his eyes, and suddenly the view became clear. A super large cave appeared in front of him. A rumbling sound was heard, and an underground river flowed directly out of the cave, rushing down from the cliff. It turned out to be a small waterfall. What's more outrageous is that there is an outrageously large bird's nest on the cliff in the cave.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise as they listened to the rumbling sound of the waterfall. Especially when they saw the bird's nest, they were all stunned. What a spectacular bird's nest, it was so huge.
Mu Qingli made a "hush" gesture and said, "Hide!" She mouthed the words several times, probably because no one could hear her. But everyone just stared blankly as if they were watching a silent movie.
Mu Qingli shook her head: "Hide!"
This time, everyone understood and began to look for a place to hide in the cave. Apart from a few protruding rocks, there was nothing there!
Seeing that they were all looking for a place to hide, Mu Qingli climbed up the bird's nest with her bare hands.
Mu Qingli looked at the tall bird's nest and muttered to herself, if it weren't for those pairs of eyes behind her, a vine would have climbed up. Oh, forget it, forget it, just bear with the fatigue!
Fortunately, the bird's nest was quite large and not high from the ground. Mu Qingli climbed a short distance with great effort and reached the straw on the bird's nest. Chai He pulled hard and felt that it could bear her weight, then she pulled the dead branches and climbed up.
The other few people also found places and hid in different corners of the cave.
Mu Qingli climbed up the bird's nest and looked inside. She saw a dying white crane in the nest. Its eyes were half closed and it lay motionless in the nest. Its feathers covered it and no movement could be seen. So, she didn't know if it was breathing. Mu Qingli reached out and touched the feathers on the white crane's head. Fortunately, it was still warm and not dead!
