Xiaodong was lying on the window, the spring rain outside was not stopping, the river beside the town had been frozen and the snow had melted, the sound of the water flow changed from slow to fast, and the gurgling continued.
"The weather is getting warmer day by day." Jiang Fan poked his head outside: "Once the rain stops, I probably won't be able to wear cotton clothes anymore."
When he arrived at the place where he grew up, although Jiang Fan slept late last night, he slept more securely than he had in so many days.
Everything is good outside, but it is not as good as at home.
Even the wheat straw stored in the inn was soaked by rain and had a damp and rotten smell, which he felt very kind. Even in a daze at night, I felt that I heard the sound of running water.
"But the water seems to be coming in faster than the forward one..."
At this time in previous years, the sound of the river did not seem so clear. It sounded like there was plenty of water, which was not comparable to previous years.
He said it casually, but Xiaodong suddenly became nervous: "Really? There is more water in the river than in previous years?"
Jiang Fan didn't know why he suddenly cared about this matter. It doesn't matter if the river is full or not, right? Why are you so nervous
Thinking that Huiliu Mountain is different from the past now—then this year’s difference from previous years is not a trivial matter.
Jiang Fan also became a little nervous all of a sudden: "It was too late when I came yesterday, so I haven't looked at it carefully, why don't we go and have a look now."
The town is not big, and the river flows through the north of the town. In fact, the river flows down from the mountains. There are snow water from the mountains in the distance and spring water, which flow into the river together and flow down the mountain. People in the town live by the river, because the river is clean and clear, many people directly draw water from here to cook, and they have lived like this for many years. There were originally two bridge slabs built by the river, one was longer and the end reached the middle of the river, where people who washed rice and vegetables fetched water. The shorter one is next to the river, where laundry is done. These two should not be confused, because the water in the middle of the river flows faster, so it is naturally cleaner than the water near the river.
Although Jiang Fan doesn't live in the town, he often goes down the mountain, so he knows this very well.
But now he saw the difference at a glance. It is said that the water is abundant in summer and dry in winter, and it is only the beginning of spring now, so the water level in the river should be very low. But now it seems that the newly frozen river is almost full and overflowing, and the long bridge deck is almost submerged by the river water. Just when they came, there were people who came to carry water. This person was afraid to carry water to the middle of the river, so he scooped up two buckets by the river. Everyone in the town recognized Huiliu Mountain's Taoist clothing with a white background and blue border. This person didn't dare to walk in front of them, fearing that the water would splash on their shoes, so he deliberately wanted to go a little farther away, but Jiang Fan went to find him on purpose. say.
The man hurriedly put down his shoulder pole and listened in trepidation.
"The snow in the middle of the mountain hasn't melted yet, so the water in this river seems to flow faster than in previous years?"
The man who carried the water hurriedly said: "That's right, what the elder said is true. In previous years, the river hadn't completely thawed at this time. If you want to get water, you have to fetch water from the well at the west end of the town, or break the river open. This year, 80% of the snow melted early? It didn’t seem to be so high yesterday.”
Xiaodong's heart skipped a beat: "It wasn't high yesterday?"
"Yes." The man gestured: "Yesterday, the water just reached that line. This night..." The man also felt strange as he spoke. The river rose by more than one foot and nearly two feet in one night. unusual.
If it is still possible when it is raining heavily, it must continue for the next day and night, right? If the weather is warmer and the ice in the upper reaches melts, that is also possible, but the weather is not hot yet, and even if the snow melts, it is impossible for so much water to rise overnight.
Xiaodong thinks that this probably has something to do with the elder brother...
Jiang Fan felt that this should have something to do with the formation on the mountain.
"It wasn't like this in previous years, only this year..." Jiang Fan pondered over and over again in his heart: "I have to tell Master about this matter as soon as possible." I just don't know if there are other abnormalities on the mountain besides the flooding in the river.
Master and the others will not encounter any danger when they go up the mountain today, right
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan felt a little flustered.
He also asked the man if there were any other strange things these days, but the man wanted to flatter the two of them and searched for something to say. However, the town is small, and there is not much contact with the outside world, so there are not many new and strange facts.
In fact, Jiang Fan and Xiaodong didn't want to hear anything new, and it was a good thing for them to have nothing to do.
After they finished asking, the man was still a little dazed when he carried the water back and walked back.
He talked so much with the two little fairies today! It can be seen that this is his luck! It can't be said that he talked with the two little fairy elders for a long time, and he got a lot of fairy air. When he got home, he didn't go anywhere, and he also meditated for a while, maybe he could get some big benefits.
Ning Yu broke off a thin bamboo stick, not for leaning on the ground for strength. Although he is sick and weak, he is also a cultivator after all, so he can't even take a few steps on the mountain road. He brought a paper umbrella, and the drizzle rustled on the umbrella.
Just now, I heard Master and Master Li talk about the changes in the formation eyes, so I casually folded this, and drew it down on the ground in front of me to calculate one or two. It is still the cold spring season, the snow on the top of the mountain has not disappeared, and the soil on the ground is frozen hard, but when the thin bamboo branches pass by, the frozen soil is as soft as sand.
Ning Yu has been to Huiliu Mountain more than once, and has also tested it with array disks, and even tried to draw the array map of Huiliu Mountain by himself. The unique art of formation, when you have never started it, you will feel very mysterious when you just heard about it. After reading a lot of books and understanding the basics, you will feel more and more in awe of this unique art, only feeling that this unique art is unfathomable. Not to mention those formations that can operate on their own, but those that cannot be transformed, he probably can't finish thinking about them in his entire life. Mountains, water flow, trees, stones, flowers and trees... everything in the world can be made into the battle. The changes and mysteries in it are endless, and no one will ever be able to understand them all.
The road is the same, it will never end, but some people can go farther, but some people can only stand at the door and look.
Ning Yu rubbed her feet on the handwriting she had drawn, erasing the handwriting.
Mo Chen is standing in front of Yubei Slope, the terrain here is dangerous, looking from a distance, the drizzle is like a curtain, the mountains are filled with clouds and mists, Huiliu Mountain is looming in the clouds and mists, as if this mountain is alive, alive, breathing and moving Same.
Ning Yu came over and called out, "Brother Mo."
Mo Chen responded.
Ning Yu's heart was filled with all kinds of questions, all related to Mo Chen, but he couldn't ask, so he felt uncomfortable for no reason. (to be continued)
