across mountains and seas

Chapter 53 Swimming

Youyou led his men to climb down for a while, and suddenly the rope stopped in mid-air.

How did he fall into Liu Xi's aggressive method? !Climb as you say?

Youyou gritted her teeth secretly, and looked up at the towering cliffs——Jing Lan and Liu Xi joined hands, and they would definitely not die for a while, the best strategy was to wait outside for the two of them to struggle out.

Thinking of this, Youyou shouted to the subordinates who had already reached the bottom: "Come up quickly after taking the snake gall, let's break the mechanism of the corridor first, go back and wait for the work, and wait for those two to come out."

"Yes!"

The subordinates shouted in unison.

Youyou took advantage of her strength to jump up, and she jumped up very fast, and landed firmly on the edge of the stone platform after a while.

She looked at the dark corridor, and she could still vividly remember the danger when she broke in just now.Those subordinates shouldn't have died in vain like this, she must destroy all the mechanisms in this corridor!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of explosions expanded and released along the corridor, echoing continuously between the cliffs.

It seemed that it wasn't the long corridor that trembled, but the entire Hailong Mausoleum.

Even at a distance, Jing Lan and Liu Xi, who were silent by the cold pool, vaguely heard the sound of the explosion.

Liu Xi sneered, "Youyou is really impatient, if you just blow it up with gunpowder, you won't be afraid of blowing up this Hailong Mausoleum."

Jing Lan thought that Youyou had entered the belly of the dragon, and couldn't find a way out for a while, so she used the gun.If so, then Youyou is already very close to here.

She had no time to entangle Liu Xi with her daughter's secret, and said seriously: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we have to find a way out early."

"Alan, then we've made a deal." Liu Xi said suddenly.

Jing Lan was stunned, "Are you sure what?"

"I just said, if you don't kill me, you are not allowed to doubt me in the future." Liu Xi refused to let go of killing me.

Jing Lan frowned, and said sternly: "In the future, if you do something to hurt our Jing family like you did in your previous life, I will still kill you."

"You don't need to do anything, I will kill myself before you." Liu Xi was determined that she would never hurt Jing Shi again in this life.

Jing Lan hesitated to speak, but finally had no choice but to give up, nodded and said: "Okay, you and I have made a deal like this!"

"Find a way." Liu Xi looked around. Fortunately, the woods are not too big. Within half an hour, she and Jing Lan will definitely be able to search for them.

For some reason, Jing Lan felt a little more relieved knowing that Liu Xi had already recognized that she was a daughter.

Living without wearing a mask is what Jing Lan has always wanted.

However, if she confesses that she is a daughter at this time, it will only cause extra problems and make everyone laugh at her late mother's villainous heart for doing such absurd things.

The new Patriarch of Donghai is actually a little girl who has deceived everyone for many years.

This kind of thing spread to the rivers and lakes, and it will also damage the reputation of the Dongjing family.

Now Jing Lan has been riding a tiger, and I am afraid that he will be a "prince" for the rest of his life.

Liu Xi heard that she didn't say anything for a long time, so she looked at her from time to time, seeing her serious expression, probably because of her daughter's exposure.

"Alan."

"Ok?"

"Don't worry, I won't let the second person know that you are a daughter."

Liu Xi understands better than anyone that women are not easy, especially in this troubled world.Once Jing Lan's identity is exposed, it will be more difficult for the Dongjing family to gain a firm foothold in Dongfuzhou.

It's ridiculous to think about it.

If a woman wants to make contributions in troubled times, she still has to depend on a man in the end.Either the support of the father and brother, or marriage.

Liu Xi will protect Jing Lan's identity no matter what.

Even Liuxi has a little more selfishness——Jing Lan is a woman, so she can use the shell of a man to end this troubled world, and then she can consider it from a woman's point of view and issue an edict, so that many outstanding girls in this world will stand up and fight with her. Men stand shoulder to shoulder to create a prosperous world.

Jing Lan sighed softly, "Just keep your mouth shut."

Liu Xi smiled without saying a word.

The two quickly searched the grove all over, but they couldn't find a way out.

In the end, the two returned to the edge of the cold pool.

Liuxi looked up along the drooping stream. The mouth of this stream is sweet, it is definitely not sea water, but most of it is the spring in this island.The place where the stream comes in is also the entrance to the spring.

It's just that the stream flows down almost vertically. Liuxi looked carefully at the stone wall, it was covered with moss and there were not many convex rocks.No matter how good the lightness kung fu is, it is still difficult to climb the rock.

"Crash-"

Just as Liu Xi was thinking, Jing Lan untied the ashes and the broken gun from her back, threw away the light in her hand, and suddenly jumped into the cold pool.

She thought differently from Liu Xi, even if there were springs coming out of the stream, it might not be able to allow people to pass through.

This cold pool has been filled with water from streams, but there is no overflow, most likely there are dark holes underneath.

Jing Lan grew up by the East China Sea since she was a child, and her swimming skills are no weaker than those old helmsmen in Haicheng.This cold pool is not very deep after all, she swims down to have a look, maybe she can find a way out?

Fortunately, the water in this cold pool is very clear, Jing Lan dived underwater and opened her eyes to look around, and she was able to see the underwater scene clearly.

really!

She just glanced around the underwater stone wall, and saw a stone door carved with fish and dragon patterns, the stone door was half open, just enough for one person to enter and exit.

She swam over with all her strength, poked half of her head in and took a look.

The stone walls inside are all made of fluorescent bluestone, without the moonlight penetrating in, the blue color is even worse, enough to illuminate the entire waterway.Jing Lan squeezed half of her body inside again, and leaned forward. The space here is very high, and the influx of cold pool water cannot completely submerge the entire waterway. There is still a space above it, which is enough for swimming. Those who came in took a breath and continued on.

Jing Lan retracted her body, waved her arms and quickly swam up to the surface of the cold pool. The moment she broke through the water, she took a long breath.

Liu Xi knew that people from the Dongjing family were good at water, but it was the first time he saw someone who could swim for such a long time.

She looked at Jing Lan's face with concern, "A Lan, are you okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Jing Lan's most proud skill was her swimming skills. She half-floated on the surface of the cold pool and said seriously, "There is a waterway below, which should be the way out."

"..." This time it was Liu Xi who suddenly turned pale, and the shadow of the past suddenly surfaced in his heart, Liu Xi gasped suddenly.

Jing Lan guessed some of Liu Xi's scruples, "Don't tell me, you can't swim?"

Liu Xi pretended to be calm and replied: "Yes, yes."

"Don't be afraid, as long as you dive in, you can float up inside to take a breath." Jing Lan swam close to the edge of the cold pool and climbed onto the bank with all her might.She apologetically kowtowed several times to her father's ashes wrapped in the outer garment, "Father, I'm sorry, I have to take you home by water." After she finished speaking, she checked whether the outer garment was tightly wrapped, He tied the broken gun and his father's ashes to his back again.

For the convenience of swimming, Jing Lan also tied Ningguang to her back, shook off the cold iron chain wrapped around her right arm, and handed it to Liu Xi, "Here."

Liu Xi took it hesitantly, and she poked her head to look at the bottom of the cold pool, but she didn't know that her water skills wouldn't allow her to dive to the bottom.

"If you tie Jingyue to your back, your hands must be free for paddling." Jing Lan reminded her.

"En." Liu Xi lowered his head and slowly tied Jingyue to his back with a cold iron chain.

When Liu Xi was so slow, Jing Lan suddenly approached and asked, "Is it tied?"

"I'll take another look." Liu Xi tugged on the cold iron chain on his body again, but it was already firmly tied.

"I'll take a look." Jing Lan guessed what she was afraid of, but there was only one way to go at the moment, and if it was delayed, both of them would starve to death here.

Liu Xi didn't expect that Jing Lan would have such a scheming plan, she said she wanted to help her see, but grabbed the cold iron chain, and suddenly led her into the cold pool.

"Crash-"

Surprised and annoyed, Liu Xi shouted sharply: "Alan, you are taking advantage of others!" While speaking, she was afraid that she would not be able to keep floating on the surface of the pool, so she tightly grabbed Jing Lan's right arm.

It was the first time that Jing Lan let Liu Xi suffer.

She grabbed Liu Xi's left hand, only to realize that Liu Xi was trembling slightly, "Don't be afraid, I will take you with me, and I will definitely be able to swim out."

"Who said I'm afraid?" This time it was Liu Xi who spoke hard.

Jing Lan didn't bother to pierce her guilty conscience, and reminded: "Take a deep breath, I will take you to hold your breath and dive down, as long as you swim into that stone gate, I will take you to the surface to take a breath."

"How long will it take?" Liu Xi asked.

"Just for a while." Jing Lan didn't know how long to hold it in, she was very good at swimming, and she felt that she could cope with it when she dived just now.

But if the water quality of Liuxi is not good, diving into the water for only a moment is also a kind of suffering.

Liu Xi's fingers tightened, gripping Jing Lan's right hand tightly, her face became extremely pale.

"Take a deep breath, like me." Jing Lan knew that if she continued, Liu Xi might not dare to dive even more.

Liu Xi imitated Jing Lan and took several deep breaths.

"one!"

"two!"

Jing Lan didn't count to three, so she took Liu Xi and dived into the cold pool together.

The icy cold pool water poured in from all directions in an instant——

Liu Xi's eyes were closed tightly, her face was flushed, she didn't know if she could hold it until she passed through the stone gate, she just felt that the fear that had been buried in her heart for many years was savagely growing, if it wasn't for her hands still tightly holding on to Jing Lan's She was afraid that she would give up halfway, so she desperately paddled the water back to the surface, and took a few deep breaths again.

While swimming forward, Jing Lan looked at Liu Xi's expression from time to time.

It seems that Liuxi is really not good at water.

Jing Lan didn't know how long she could hold back, so she could only swim faster, leading Liu Xi through the stone gate, and floated to the surface of the water.

"Crash-"

Jing Lan got out of the water first, and Liu Xi heard the sound of water, and instinctively clung to Jing Lan's neck, her whole body pressed tightly against Jing Lan's body, breathing deeply through the water.

"willow……"

"Let me take it easy...don't let go..."

Liu Xi looked like a person who almost drowned, tightly hugging the driftwood in the water, so why did he care about the etiquette?

"Hey……"

"Please……"

Her tone was surprisingly humble, as soon as these two words came out, Jing Lan froze in place.

Jing Lan never thought that Liu Xi would have such a humble moment.

It's not that she can't swim, no matter how bad the water is, she shouldn't have such a fearful look.

Unless... Liuxi had a dangerous past where she almost drowned.

"It's okay, it's okay." Jing Lan patted Liu Xi's vest twice, and subconsciously found a reason for herself - she and her are both daughters who understand clearly, and it's not considered comforting in such a situation. Frivolous, not disrespectful.

He is usually fierce and vicious, but he never thought that he would have such a side when he was afraid of trouble.

Every time Jing Lan gets to know Liu Xi better, she finds her more and more pleasing to the eye, and even a little more "cute".
