The small spring Li Changhui mentioned is really only a small spring, as big as the mouth of a bowl, and it is still in the crevices of the rocks.

About two feet above the ground, there is a spring as big as the mouth of a bowl, with warm water pouring out.

There was actually a small ladle placed next to the spring. Looking at its size, one ladle could scoop out all the water in the spring.

The water overflowing from the spring flows along the stone wall to a small pool below. The pool is not big, only about the size of a large water tank.

There is still a lot of silt near the pool, and there is a small ditch dug out about a foot away. Below it is a mini stream washed out by the running water.

You know without asking that this must have been cleaned up by Li Changhui in advance, and the silt is the evidence.

The current pool is very clean and is surrounded by stone slabs, making it easy to wash hands and so on.

But now there is a pool of blood on a stone slab. It is obvious that this is where Li Changhui dealt with the rabbit just now.

"You are too diligent. You have done so much secretly by yourself, and I don't know anything!"

Whether it was the cave in front or the cleaned small pool, Lin He was very surprised and liked it very much.

Li Changhui smiled and squatted down to test the water in the pool. It was cold, and the water temperature in this small spring was not very high.

The water in the pool below is cold. Even if there is a steady stream of hot water flowing down, the water will be completely cold the moment it slides down the stone wall.

"Brother Hui, come quickly and bring the clay pot."

Just as he was about to scoop up water, Lin He shouted, holding the ladle in his hand. He said he was scooping water to wash the dishes. It was better to say that he had discovered a new toy. He was extremely curious.

Just like a child.

Li Changhui said heartily.

His wife has always been calm and calm, making her own arrangements in a leisurely manner. She is not tempted by money or flattery for power.

But the childish mentality that occasionally appears is very simple. For example, right now, I scooped up the water from the spring, and stared unblinkingly at the cracks in the rocks, watching the hot water overflowing little by little, filling the small spring. Eye.

"It's so magical." Lin He poured another ladle of hot water into the earthen jar. Li Changhui was washing the dishes with hot water next to her. She watched the spring with interest and filled it up again.

"Brother Hui, how did such a small amount of water come up on such a high mountain? Even if there is an underground river, you can't risk it at such a height, right?"

"I don't know. This spring has been around for many years and it has never dried up."

Lin He had a lot of fun playing with the water. When the spring was full, she scooped it up and poured it into the clay pot. She waited until Li Changhui finished washing the bowls and filled another pot with water before she put down the small pot with still unfinished content. Water scoop.

Li Changhui shook his head helplessly: "Go back first, I will take you somewhere and come back to play in the evening."

When we have dinner in the evening, we have to come over and wash the dishes.

I brought a can of water back with me. Although this water is also a hot spring, it has no peculiar smell. It should be fine to drink after boiling it.

This place was only about seven or eight feet away from their cave, but it was not in the same direction. Lin He had been at the entrance of the cave before, so he didn't notice it.

When we returned to the cave, the hot water we had boiled before leaving happened to be boiling. There was no thermos pot, so we just placed it next to it, extinguished the fire, and used the remaining heat to keep warm.

Lin He actively put away the bowls and chopsticks, and when Li Changhui poured water into the water jar, he couldn't wait to rush him.

"Brother Hui, where did you say you were going? Is there a big hot spring nearby?"

"of course."

As he spoke, the tunnel began to open.

He still went down first to light the candle. When Lin He came down, he went up again and patiently tidied up the thatched bedding before closing the entrance from the inside.

In Lin He's eyes, the entire space instantly turned into a secret room, which made her feel tight.

Trying to relax, Lin He looked around, and finally stared at the bottom of the stairs: "Brother Hui, are you going to enter the hot spring you mentioned here?" She wanted to go in in the morning, but Li Changhui refused.

As if he guessed what Lin He was thinking, Li Changhui came down and picked up the candle on the table: "It's a bit far. I'm afraid you will feel hungry every time you come here. It's a good time to go."

"Far?" Lin He's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you want to take me to another palace from here?"

After all, Li Changhui said it himself, there is a bigger hot spring in the palace.

However, Li Changhui quickly broke her illusion: "Of course not."

With a clicking sound, the stone door in front of him was opened again. Li Changhui held the candle in one hand and held Lin He in the other.

"Even in normal times, there are people guarding the other side of the palace. If we go there, we will be discovered."

Even if they had Jinrong's identity token, they would still be caught if they broke in like this.

Not many people in the capital recognize him now.

It is estimated that it is not as easy to identify as the aurora.

The passage is very wide, at least as wide as five people standing side by side, but it is very dark. If it weren't for the candle in Li Changhui's hand, nothing could be seen in it.

Especially seeing the endless darkness ahead, Lin He couldn't help but get close to Li Changhui.

To be honest, even if Li Changhui was here, she still felt fuzzy in her heart, and she didn't even dare to look back - after they entered just now, the stone door behind them was closed again.

"Fear?"

Li Changhui changed his position and half-hugged the person in his arms.

With Li Changhui's arm and half of his chest behind him, Lin He breathed a sigh of relief and admitted it directly without any shame.

"I'm not afraid now."

Li Changhui chuckled, it was good that one day his wife would really need her and she could seek a sense of security with him.

"It's a bit far, but when you get there, you'll definitely like it."

He has become very clear about Lin He's preferences after so many years.

Hearing what Li Changhui said, Lin He became more interested, even accelerated his pace, and even urged Li Changhui to come.

"Then let's walk faster. It's so dark that it will affect our mood if we stay here for too long."

If you have a hard time mentally enduring this, you may even develop claustrophobia.

"Okay. Then wait while I change the oil lamp."

Now hold the candle, it will go out easily if you walk too fast.

Li Changhui estimated the distance, approached the wall somewhere, and quickly found an oil lamp with a lampshade. Lin He's sharp eyes discovered that it was placed on a lampstand on the stone wall next to it.

"Is there a lampstand on this wall? Is there an oil lamp at regular intervals?"

"Indeed, it is, but this tunnel has not been opened for a long time. You cannot light too many oil lamps, otherwise you will have difficulty breathing or even faint."

Lin He nodded. Oxygen is needed for combustion. If you burn too many oil lamps, the oxygen will be consumed too quickly. It is not easy to suffocate and fall into coma.

This time, they were holding an oil lamp. The lampshade could protect the flame from going out. The two of them were much faster. Even so, it took more than half an hour.

When Li Changhui said, "We're here," Lin He's eyes widened in surprise. (End of chapter)
