……………

A big river blocked the way. On the river surface more than ten feet wide, the current was surging and the waves were rolling.

The leading unicorn in front ran too fast, and it couldn't stop and couldn't help but leap, suddenly jumping out eight or nine feet, and before reaching the other side, it had already lost its momentum. The beast raised its head and neighed for a long time, and fell down powerlessly. The two people on its back screamed in fear, and instantly fell heavily into the river with its mighty and tall figure.

"Bang——"

A muffled sound, splashing water.

The unicorn horse was unwilling to give up and struggled frantically. The two people on its back could no longer hold on and were thrown into the rushing torrent. But in the midst of a breath, the beast actually broke through the waves and jumped onto the nearby opposite bank. It was still roaring and tossing around. It was unclear whether it was still in shock after being frightened or celebrating its lucky escape.

There was another round of neighing and bumping, and the unicorn horses that followed arrived at the shore one after another. And with the screams of Ada and others, the beasts finally stopped in time.

However, the two people who had been in trouble before had been swept away by the torrent. They were gone, and their fate was imaginable!

Ah Shou and the rest of the people were still lying on the back of the unicorn horse at a loss, but Lin Yi jumped down with his feet, gliding over the chest-high weeds like a breeze, and came to the river bank without a trace. And he looked at the surging river and the two figures that were gradually going away and fluctuating, and did not move again, but looked back with a bit of surprise.

At the same time, Ada and another animal trainer had jumped off the back of the unicorn, each with a bundle of thin vines on their shoulders. The two looked nervous, but they were busy but not chaotic. As soon as they stepped onto the river bank, they ran wildly to the left along the rapids. Their speed was quite fast, and I am afraid that they were not much slower than the innate masters in the rivers and lakes!

In a short while, Ada and his companions ran nearly a hundred feet away and caught up with the drowning man. The other party waved his arms on the river surface for a few times, and then sank to the bottom of the water. The two did not dare to neglect it. They quickly took off the vines on their shoulders and tied a knot at one end, and then attacked together.

The two soft and slender vines were as fast as lightning, and they quickly swept across the river surface, and then fell into the water like two faint wind shadows.

Ada and his companions kept running, their arms trembled slightly, and then suddenly stopped and turned around to pull hard.

But in a flash, two splashes of water exploded on the river surface, and then two figures flew out with a "splash". The drowning man had been tied up by the knotted vines, and both of them were pulled away from the river surface, and then fell down with "bang, bang", splashing water one after another. After several times, the two rescued people were getting closer and closer to the shore.

Ada and his companions stabilized their bodies, swung their arms quickly, and suddenly put away the vines. The drowning man finally flew away from the river surface, and fell on the river bank with a "thump, thump", but his belly was swollen and he was unconscious. It was obvious that he was choked by the river water and passed out.

The drowning man was rescued in a matter of seconds.

With the remaining two trainers driving, more than ten unicorns stopped, all of them prostrated on the ground, and squatted obediently in the grass on the shore. The unicorn on the other side was less restrained, galloping back and forth alone, enjoying the rare freedom. Everyone had come to their senses, jumped off their horses, and ran towards Ada to look after the two companions who had survived the disaster.

Ashou followed the crowd past Lin Yi, he exclaimed: "Oh! I was so scared! I hope the two uncles are safe..."

Lin Yi didn't want to get involved, so he stopped on the shore and watched from afar.

After Ada and his companions put away the vines, they were busy picking up the two rescued drowning people and carrying them on their shoulders, passing through the crowd and returning to where they came from in one breath. The two of them were quick and nimble, and they put the unconscious drowning person on the back of a unicorn horse, whistled, and drove the beast around in a circle.

With the unicorn horse's bumps and the squeeze of its belly, the two unfortunate people with their limbs facing down slowly overflowed with river water from their mouths and noses. Not long after, the river water gushed out, and the two of them groaned miserably, then turned over and fell off the horse.

Seeing this, everyone jumped up and helped the two awakened companions to sit up, rubbed their shoulders and backs, and took good care of them.

Only then did Ada and his companions step back a few steps, wiped the sweat off their faces, and then breathed a sigh of relief. After a narrow escape, they finally saved two lives!

However, dusk was approaching, and the sunset glow filled the sky. It was wishful thinking to reach the Giant Peak Valley before nightfall. Who would have thought that there would be a river blocking the way...

Ada and his three companions who trained animals exchanged looks and shook their heads secretly. He cleared his throat and said to the people beside him: "Maybe it was a sudden heavy rain upstream that caused the river to surge. And my brother was not prepared, so he was blocked and almost caused a disaster. Each of us will be exempted from two skins to make up for the mistake..."

Hearing this, everyone smiled. Although it was a fright, it did not damage life or property, but earned two animal skins. Even if it delays the journey, it's worth it!

Ada added: "It's getting late and the river is difficult to cross. Let's stay here for the night and find our way out tomorrow. But..." He put his hand on the handle of the steel knife at his waist and continued: "This place is deserted. When it is deep, there are many snakes and insects, so you need to be more careful..."

"Thirty miles back from here, the river is narrow and less than five feet deep. With the strength of the Linma's legs, it can be easily crossed by flying across or wading. You might as well choose another route to avoid unnecessary complications!"

Before Ada finished speaking, someone raised an objection. When he heard the sound and looked around, his face darkened.

The young man in gray robe stood by and watched from beginning to end. In addition, he is still greedy and deliberately takes advantage of a half-year-old child. But when he was making a decision, he hid aside and spoke coldly. It was really abominable!

"I've made up my mind, no need to say more!" Ada replied without any pretense, and then shouted impatiently: "If I didn't care about the relationship between Ah Beast and his dead father, I would never allow you to go with me, hum. …”

Lin Yi stood alone on the river bank with his hands behind his back. Seeing that Ada was not good at speaking, he had no intention of arguing and just smiled faintly. It was a kindly reminder, but it was disliked.

Ah Shou was still joining in the fun in the crowd, but he was listening to all directions. He turned around and said with a smile, "Uncle, calm down! That Brother Lin is a cultivator, and what he just said was not malicious! Hehe..." He didn't say anything. Then, he opened his mouth and mentioned cultivators, which made Ada even more disdainful.

"A cultivator? Do you know how to tame animals, medicine, or witchcraft..." Although Ada asked A-Shou, his intention was self-evident. He glanced at Lin Yi and said sarcastically: "Is it possible that he is an immortal and can see everything thirty miles away at a glance?" His words just finished, causing a burst of laughter from all around.

It is easy to see that Ada has a high prestige. Everyone would rather believe him than care about Lin Yi's statement.

Ah Beast scratched his head and laughed. How could Brother Lin be an immortal? If not, would he still need to ride on a horse running on the ground? It is said that immortals can fly...

Since we have to stay here for the night, we will inevitably be busy again.

The two men who fell into the water were already fine, so they stood up and thanked Ada. The remaining people rushed to the river embankment, sat together in twos and threes, and took out water bags and dry food to eat and drink, taking the opportunity to enjoy the coolness brought by the river water.

Ada and the other three beast-taming men dispersed and drew out their steel knives and whipped them back and forth among the grass to prevent snakes and insects from invading them. He has been traveling all year round, and his knowledge of travel and adaptability are quite sophisticated, and he is worthy of everyone's trust.

The stray horse was wandering alone on the other side of the river.

The sunset is dim and the twilight is falling...

Lin Yi stood on the river embankment for a moment, sitting alone by the water.

For so many years, I have been running around constantly, flying here and there like a bird, and it is rare to have a leisurely time perching on a branch. Now that I am in a foreign place, walking through this ancient wilderness with others, it feels like I have returned to the past years, but I am missing those familiar faces and the various impulses of the youth. And the feeling of hesitation is getting darker and darker like the night in front of me...

Ah Beast slowly came to Lin Yi, stretched out his hand to tighten his belt, and looked back from time to time.

Lin Yixiao asked: "But are you hungry?"

"Hehe..." Ah Beast smiled sheepishly.

The few rice balls I brought with me were all used by noon. Unexpectedly, we spent the night on the way and it was difficult to find food for a while. Although others offered him pieces of meat, he couldn't show his face. And having an empty stomach is really uncomfortable. Speaking of which, I had not been aware of the situation before and turned a deaf ear to my mother's instructions. It's too late to regret now.

Ah Beast plopped down next to Lin Yi and couldn't help but said curiously: "I've never seen Brother Lin eat anything..."

Lin Yi raised his right hand in his long sleeve, holding a small gourd. He gestured to it, raised his head and took a sip, looked at A-Shou and said with a smile, "Wine is enough!"

Ah Shou suddenly understood and said insightfully: "Wine is made from grains and mountain fruits, and ordinary people can't afford it. When my father was alive, he could only drink it a few times at the end of the year..." He couldn't help but He continued with confidence: "This thing is worthy of being hungry and full, but I have never heard of it..."

"Haha! You are still young, you will find out in the future!"

Lin Yi didn't say anything, smiled and said something perfunctory, and then started drinking by himself. His eyes swept across the river and penetrated into the distance. The sky is dark and night is falling. The sound of flowing river water is endless, and there are faint sounds of animals and insects everywhere...

"Hey! Let's get enough water..." A-Shou pulled out a water bag and filled it with a few mouthfuls, then said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Lin's words just now are almost the same as when my father was alive. And you compare I'm not much older..."

Lin Yi shook his head at A-Shou and said nothing with a smile.

How old are you? The combined age of all the people on this embankment is probably about the same as mine.

Lin Yicai was about to continue drinking, but suddenly put down his arm. The gourd in his hand disappeared into his long sleeves in an instant. As for him, he raised his eyebrows lightly and looked slightly stern.

At this moment, a ray of silver light fell from the sky. Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled sound of "bang", and the Linma, which was away from the group and carefree alone on the other side, was instantly torn apart...
