Destiny-changing Rain - C48
He tried to remove the water grass belt that was wrapped around his feet, but it was inconvenient for him to move his hands in the water, so from time to time, the movement of his hands would move the entire grass belt. When he pulled on the water grass like this, he discovered that the water grass did not grow from the bottom of the pool, but instead from a very black hole in the stone wall. Because of his aura, Yan Wenqing quickly floated up to the surface of the water after breaking apart the water grass.
Yan Wenqing, who had sucked in a deep breath, felt that something wasn’t right. It didn’t seem appropriate that so much water grass didn’t grow from the bottom of the pool. Why did such thick water grass grow from the crevice? With these questions, Yan Wenqing held his breath and once again dove into the water. He swam to the place where he had just swam to, and grabbed onto a strand of water grass with both hands, pulling it out with all his might, as if this was a waste of his effort, so he placed his feet on a rock to the side and pulled it out with his utmost strength. When he swam to the edge of the rock, he discovered that the water grass was not only thick but also very long. When Yan Wenqing threw the water grass vine to the side to put on his clothes, his eyes started to look suspicious when he noticed the water grass foot again. He carefully discovered that the part near the water grass foot was covered with small moss, and based on his own experience these small moss grew in the water instead of the water, and after looking at this section of dry moss, the other parts of it were different in color, although the other parts were a little deeper in color.
He turned around and found a broken branch from the forest and jumped into the water. He swam over to the dense aquatic plants and used the stick in his hand to brush them away. These aquatic plants grew from that side, and there was no room for water there. Yan Wenqing used all his strength to push the water grass away and then slowly swam out from the crevice. Originally, the crevice in the rock was filled with water grasses, but when he slowly swam over there, the water grasses became fewer, and swam into a larger area, and he saw that the water grasses originally grew by the side of the rock wall, and the cave that was filled with water was not large. Yan Wenqing looked up in the water and saw a circle of dim light above. He started to get scared and walked out of the water with a feeling of disbelief. This was a cave that was as deep as a mountain, and what he had just come out of was a pool. This cave was less than four meters deep.
When Yan Wenqing walked out of the cave, he covered his eyes with his hand. It wasn’t that the bright and beautiful light that came from outside the cave stopped his eyes, but the scene that appeared in front of him right now made him feel confused. Under the vast land and the beautiful sunlight, wisps of smoke curled up in the air above the village. Yan Wenqing’s excited tears mixed with the water droplets that dripped from his hair onto his firm chest. To Yan Wenqing, it was like seeing the light of day again. The birds in the cages could finally fly out, and he could finally have his freedom. It all seemed too sudden and he had been waiting for so long.
When Yan Wenqing turned around to look at the cave, he saw three words carved into the top of the cave entrance: Spring Spirit. It turned out that the water puddle, slightly built with stone, was the Water God’s well that the local villagers believed in. Yan Wenqing smiled. People believed in this well, but they would never know what was inside. Now, he had become the water god that people prayed for.
Yan Wenqing lay back down on the grass. At this moment, he suddenly felt tired, really tired. Only after putting down the heavy burden on his shoulders did he feel tired, all his nerves were tired, and the spirit that supported him was also tired. Ren Ruyang stung her eyes, while Ren Rui’s tears flowed freely all over her face.
Lying on the ground, Yan Wenqing thought of Xiao Lan, his grandma, his master, Ying Zi’s smile, his parents, the fierce flood, the cracked land, the butterflies and silk dancing around the room, the tyrannical soldiers, the uninvited guests with weapons, and the blood … At this moment, it was as if all the scenes had to be replayed in his mind. Yan Wenqing forcefully closed his eyes.
Normally, she would be able to find him by the pool, but now, she didn’t know where he was. His clothes were on the rock, and even after a long time, he still wasn’t able to come out of the water. She held onto her clothes as she wailed loudly by the side of the pool, “Brother Wen Qing …”
At this time, Yan Wenqing popped out of the water. Xiao Lan was both happy and flustered, her tears and smiles piled up on her face.
Yan Wenqing, who had just came out of the water, was filled with joy. Xiao Lan saw the situation and cried, “Look at how happy you are. Could it be that there’s a gold and silver treasure at the bottom of the pool? I’m worried to death here.”
Yan Wenqing received the clothes from Xiao Lan with a smile, “There aren’t any gold and silver treasures below, but there are items that are more valuable than gold and silver treasures.”
“What’s that?” Xiao Lan hadn’t seen Yan Wenqing smile so happily in a long time. Ever since he fell into this valley, his face had always been shrouded in sadness, but his occasional smile had also carried that much bitterness.
