Reborn in that autumn

"Afraid of light, that's easy to handle. We still have burning rods and lamps, and the flashlight is useless?" Ye Ran replied.

Then he asked the two of them: "Have you seen where we should go next? It is to cross the other side of the river and start walking somewhere else."

Li Zichen replied: "When I saw the fish, I pulled it back for Sister Ye Qiu. I really didn't look carefully."

Then he asked Ye Qiu: "Sister Ye Qiu, did you look carefully? Do you see where you are going next?"

Ye Qiu replied: "I really didn't see it, where should I go next?"

"By the way, sister, why is there a river underground?" Ye Ran asked the question in his heart.

After hearing this, Ye Qiu explained to everyone, "Underground rivers are also called underground rivers or "undercurrents". They refer to rivers below the ground. They are a type of underground karst landform. When surface rivers dive into the ground, they are called undercurrents."

"Underground rivers are underground rivers formed by groundwater. They have a certain range of underground watersheds and often have outlets but no entrances. Tropical and subtropical climates with high temperature and rain are most conducive to the formation of underground rivers."

"I don't know why. There is an underground river under the Dong family's ancient tomb. Maybe there is one under the entire Runze City. Or there is one here at the Dong family, or maybe we went too deep underground, so I encountered this dark river.”

"It seems we should take a look," Li Zichen said.

Then he looked at Ye Qiu and said, "You stay here and ask your brother to come over and let him go with me."

"I want to go too," Ye Qiu said coquettishly.

Li Zichen replied seriously, "It's no use being coquettish to me now. Just wait here and I'll confirm with your brother."

"I won't let you do anything too dangerous. Besides, that fish can eat people."

Seeing Li Zichen's determined eyes, Ye Qiu gave in and replied, "Okay then, I'll wait here obediently for you to come back."

"You two, be careful. If you two don't come back after about 10 minutes, I will take someone to find you."

"You two, bring more burning sticks. If that fish comes out, it will be afraid of the sudden strong light. You two can avoid it for a few minutes," Ye Qiu told the two of them.

"I know, let's travel light, just grab some useful things, and put the bag here first." Li Zichen said, then untied his backpack, took a few burning rods, and two flashlights. Put them on the pants pockets respectively.

The dagger was still on both sides of his trouser legs, and he had a foldable shovel in his hand.

Ye Ran also followed Li Zichen's example, put down his backpack, picked up his things, and passed by Ye Qiu.

After coming over, he said to his sister: "Don't worry, you will be back soon."

After saying that, he followed Li Zichen towards the underground river at the exit of the passage.

When they reached the exit, the two of them carefully controlled their breathing, tried not to breathe so loudly, and stepped much softer.

Li Zichen took the flashlight in his trouser pocket and turned on the switch to shine outside. In fact, there was still a small stretch of road outside, which was the walls on both sides, reaching the edge.

Li Zichen approached the wall on one side, leaned out half of his body, and looked around.

I saw paths to the left and right outside, and looked into the river again, but I didn't see the fish.

Li Zichen walked out slowly, just in time to clear the way for Ye Ran behind him.

Ye Ran came out and whispered: "This is the underground river!"
