"That's good, I'm really afraid of snakes!"
"..."
The car had traveled over thirty kilometers. Xu Aiguo parked it near a secluded woodland, and after everybody got out and gathered their things, they crossed through the bamboo forest where the sound of running water grew louder.
Before long, several people emerged from the bamboo forest. They were greeted by a winding, serpentine stream. The scenery here was delightful; not far away, they could see birds fluttering in the water, bathing.
"Wow!"
The children couldn't resist the temptation of the water and hurriedly placed their belongings on the ground before running towards the stream.
The stream water was crystal clear; "Hundreds of fish in the pool swim as if they're floating freely," exactly as described in the 'Small Stone Pond' legend.
The stream flowed downwards from upstream, the shallowest part reaching only ankle-deep, and the deepest part not exceeding an adult's thighs.
