Chapter 468: Almost Got Stung by a Bee

"Brother-in-law, are you tired?"

After passing through a bamboo grove, Guo Yanqiu asked.

Lin Feng let out an "hmm".

Then he set Guo Yanqiu down.

"How about I walk a stretch myself?"

Saying that, he took out his shoes from the back pocket and put them on his feet.

Then, limping, he walked toward the water channel ahead.

Lin Feng let out a breath, picked up the back pack and followed.

Suddenly...

"Yah!"

Guo Yanqiu let out a startled cry.

Then she plunged forward headfirst.

Ahead was the water channel, over two meters deep, and it was built of stone.

If she fell, it would be trouble.

Lin Feng took a big step forward and reached out to embrace her.

That was close!

But immediately, Lin Feng felt something was off.

The place where he embraced seemed a bit higher, and it was quite big.

Guo Yanqiu quickly stepped back, but ended up falling into Lin Feng's arms.

Their eyes met...

After several seconds, Guo Yanqiu reacted, then quickly pushed Lin Feng away.

Her face turned red.

Lin Feng sat down, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Just then, Lin Feng's phone rang.

It was Guo Yanwen calling.

"Brother-in-law, where have you and my second sister gone?"

Guo Yanwen asked.

Lin Feng said: "Your sister sprained her ankle; we're walking this side of the water channel, it's easier."

Guo Yanwen said: "Then you go downstream; I'll have Brother Xiao Yang drive a car there to pick you up."

"Okay!"

Lin Feng acknowledged.

After smoking a cigarette, Lin Feng stood up.

He first jumped down into the water channel, and Guo Yanqiu handed the back pack to Lin Feng.

If her foot wasn't injured, it would be easy.

How do we get down now?

Lin Feng thought of a method.

"How about you face away from me, I'll catch you with my shoulder below, like a child riding a horse, you know how?"

"Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Nothing wrong with it, hurry down!"

With great effort, Guo Yanqiu finally got into the water channel.

Lin Feng continued carrying her, walking downstream.

"How far?"

Lin Feng asked.

Guo Yanqiu replied: "Maybe over two li!"

Lin Feng nodded: "Are you sure they won't release water into the ditch now?"

The water channel is over two meters deep and about one meter wide.

If a flood comes, it'll be troublesome.

Guo Yanqiu nodded firmly: "It won't happen now. I used to play here often as a child..."

She began talking about the matter of this water channel.

Back then, to irrigate the farmland of several nearby mountain bends, several villages with thousands of people worked nearly a year to finish this water channel.

The water source is a nearby reservoir.

Normally, they only release water when it's time to transplant rice seedlings.

However, in recent years someone has opened fish ponds to raise fish, and they also release water on a schedule.

"I think I hear the sound of flowing water..."

Lin Feng suddenly stopped, turned around, and said.

"No!"

Guo Yanqiu shook her head.

She doesn't have Lin Feng's sharp ears.

"You'd better go up!"

Lin Feng said.

As soon as the words fell, he was dumbfounded.

Because this section is low-lying, rocks have been piled on both sides, raising it; calculated, it's nearly four meters deep.

"Why not take the upper path…"

Lin Feng murmured.

Guo Yanqiu said: "The upper path is hard to walk; some places are only two feet wide, and below is still a cliff."

"People in the past were really impressive!"

Lin Feng sighed.

As soon as the words fell, a small amount of water began to spread over.

Now Guo Yanqiu finally believed Lin Feng.

At this moment, someone actually released water!

There wasn't even time to run.

"I can't swim…"

Guo Yanqiu said.

Lin Feng was helpless, so he remained silent.

This girl is really a trap!

Just so she could lie on my back a little longer, she got me stuck in the ditch.

Lin Feng, experienced as he is, how could he not guess Guo Yanqiu's thoughts?

He was just going along with Guo Yanqiu, and he himself was enjoying it.

He thought, if this continues to develop and her mother finds out, who knows if she'll beat him.

One disaster is enough, but now there are actually two…

The water grew larger and quickly rose past the ankles.

Next came the calves; a few minutes later, the current became turbulent, gradually rising past Lin Feng's waist.

Although he was carrying a person, Lin Feng couldn't control his steps, especially in a stretch of rapid water; his foot slipped and he fell.

Guo Yanqiu choked on a mouthful of water, and her whole body was soaked.

Fortunately, the turbulent stretch was only a few tens of meters; after that, the current calmed down.

Lin Feng supported Guo Yanqiu, letting her climb onto the bank.

He himself easily climbed up by gripping the rocks.

Then he carried Guo Yanqiu forward again.

As they walked, the path ahead narrowed.

Less than two feet wide, below is a ditch several meters deep.

Lin Feng walked carefully.

"Brother-in-law, be careful, there are hanging-leg wasps!"

Guo Yanqiu suddenly spoke up to warn.

Lin Feng looked up and saw a cypress tree ahead, with a long wasp nest hanging from its branches, exactly blocking the path.

It was bigger than the wasp nest he had previously hit with a stone.

"Don't worry, watch me!"

Lin Feng curled the corner of his mouth and set Guo Yanqiu down.

Then he pried a stone from the ground and, with a confident expression, threw it at the nest.

"Pa~"

The stone struck the branch holding the nest.

Damn!

I missed!

Lin Feng was stunned.

Immediately after, a large swarm of hanging-leg wasps flew out.

Lin Feng quickly pulled Guo Yanqiu and jumped into the ditch.

Plunk!

They ended up in the ditch.

However, Guo Yanqiu's jeans got caught on a protruding branch at the edge of the ditch.

Lin Feng tugged her, but couldn't move her.

But Guo Yanqiu reacted quickly, undoing her button and slipping out like shedding skin.

Then she held her breath and, together with Lin Feng, dove into the water.

Then Lin Feng pulled her forward in the water for several tens of meters before they surfaced.

"You said you can't swim?"

Lin Feng asked.

Guo Yanqiu, a little flustered, said: "I really can't!"

Alright!

Lin Feng chose to believe her.
