There are no monkeys in this canyon, nor the sounds of apes.

But as they approached the middle section, the tourists on the rubber boat added the scene of 'the persistent cries of apes on both shores'.

The rapids felt like stepping on the accelerator hard while driving; the sensation of being pushed back and the constant splashing of water, along with the time-to-time airborne moments, indeed made these tourists exclaim with excitement.

However, having been through the baptism of the Gao Guo River rafting, Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian appeared relatively calm and could continue to enjoy the scenery on both sides.

At this moment, the sky was spotless, and the clouds drifted leisurely. Floating on the ribbon-like green river had a unique charm, and even the most tense nerves could be soothed.

Just watching those bare-chested tourists wearing life jackets, Wang Fan thought it would be surprising if they felt comfortable tonight.

After the skin is wet, the water content of the stratum corneum increases, which decreases the skin's ability to reflect ultraviolet rays. And due to the refraction of ultraviolet light, the UV levels on the water surface are significantly higher than elsewhere, making it easy to cause sunburn. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Sun tanning and sunburn are two different concepts. The former only requires some time to recover, and besides getting darker, there isn't much discomfort. But the latter is different; it's a phototoxic reaction, typically resulting in swollen red patches within 24 hours of sunburn, accompanied by noticeable pain and a burning sensation. More severe cases develop blisters, and during recovery, it's like a snake shedding its skin, with large areas of dead skin falling off with just a rub.

This was Wang Fan's indelible lesson from the only time he went to a water park in his previous life.

So even though the weather was quite hot, Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian were still fully equipped. After all, their itinerary for the next few days was all related to water.

The next stop for the duo was the Getu River.

The Getu River embodies the essence of mountains, water, caves, rocks, and forests, blending magnificence, peculiarity, danger, steepness, tranquility, and antiquity into a karst natural park akin to a diluted treasure.

Getu means sacred flower jumping ground in the Miao language. There are many marvels here, but the most talked-about is certainly the Earth Divine Light.

It's a pity that the Heavenly Divine Light is only seen from late September to March, but fortunately, the Earth Divine Light is visible from April to August each year.

Moreover, it's the only provincially authorized rock climbing base in Guizhou. While sitting on the boat, Wang Fan actually saw someone on the cliff challenging the limits of their body against nature.

Zhuo Qianqian mysteriously whispered, "Do you know why this place is a provincially authorized climbing base?"

Wang Fan didn't know, so he shook his head.

Zhuo Qianqian leaned in and said, "That's because there's a very mysterious and ancient profession here — they're called 'Coffin Carriers'. The locals refer to them as Spidermen. It's said that these people can go three days and nights without eating or sleeping, and my story starts from my first day as a Coffin Carrier..."

Wang Fan looked at Zhuo Qianqian, speechless but amused, seeing her speaking in such a mysterious tone as if telling a ghost story, he couldn't help but remind her, "You're telling a ghost story a bit too early; we're now watching the Earth Divine Light. What ghosts dare to act wild in the divine light? Besides, there aren't any hanging coffins here."

"Oh, then never mind..."

Zhuo Qianqian muttered resentfully, then sat obediently waiting for the Earth Divine Light to appear.

Seeing she seemed a bit upset, Wang Fan thought a bit and asked, "What's the principle behind this Earth Divine Light?"

Zhuo Qianqian said, "Tyndall effect. When the Tyndall effect is in play, the light has shape."

"What is the Tyndall effect?"

Zhuo Qianqian muttered, "Boss, just don't ask. Even if I tell you, you won't remember. I know you want to cheer me up, but how could I be cheerful now?"

Wang Fan felt a bit embarrassed. Sometimes it wasn't good to have too smart a girlfriend; she could immediately see through his little thoughts.

As for the reason Zhuo Qianqian was upset, he knew. It was because school was about to start, and once it did, she had to return, unable to continue following him on these ventures.

With his current earning ability, even if Zhuo Qianqian dropped out, he could still support her, but he didn't want to interfere with her life like that.

"No worries. After school starts, there'll be Mid-Autumn and National Day holidays. I'll come to pick you up then, and I'll visit you on weekends too."

Without realizing it, the time during their chat had already reached 8:30.

And just as the second hand on the watch pointed to 12, a ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness and shone into the cave, turning the cave walls golden with its powerful beam.

Everyone on the boat chatting fell silent, quietly watching the magical performance by nature.

A ray of sunlight gradually grew larger, and everyone's mouths opened wider in amazement. At that moment, it truly seemed as if divine light was showering onto the world.

Right then, countless swallows suddenly soared into the air, circling and dancing in the Earth Divine Light.

Vapor rose from the water, the divine light passed through the cave, countless swallows darted through the vapor backlit by sunlight, accompanied by the crisp, pleasant chirping of swallows.

At this moment, Wang Fan felt that light wasn't just being visualized but rather had come alive!

It had shapes, colors, and notes. At this moment, light was vivid and lively.

Wang Fan had an illusion, as if he had traversed to a magnificent world of light and shadows, filled with fantasy and magic, extremely unreal, making him feel as if he was in a world of fantasy martial arts, as if the next moment, a great emperor would rise into the sky bathed in sunlight.

Do you believe in light?

He used to not believe, but now he does.

If one were to transform here, they would definitely unleash all the abilities of an Ultraman because no one would doubt the existence of light here...

He now indeed feared someone in the group might suddenly pull out a stick and shout, "Light come!"

"The woods end at the water source, then there is a mountain. The mountain has a small opening, as if light comes through. Could it be that what Tao Yuanming saw back then was here?"

Alright then, truly his thoughts as an academic underachiever do not align on the same wavelength as those of a top student...

Still, when you think about it, it really does resemble the beginning description in "The Peach Blossom Spring". No wonder she's my girlfriend.

After some random thoughts, he once again admired the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature, with rising waves of pride surging in his chest.

Truly, you don't realize what a beautiful country you live in if you don't go out and explore!

You don't realize what a precious heritage the ancestors have left with their lives!

Those martyrs buried across every corner of the motherland along with the Yuhua Platform martyrs, a generation fought battles spanning two, even three generations, allowing young people like himself a stable nation and a healthy growth environment, to have the leisure to appreciate this magnificent landscape.

Yet, despite this, there are still some people who slander and insult. He decided that if he ever encounters such a '500,000-yuan bounty' person, he would report them without hesitation.

But when thinking of those in Beijing shedding tears watching the flag-raising, the pregnant woman at the martyr's cemetery wanting to take the martyrs' spirits with her, Wang Fan smiled happily again.

The slanderers are, after all, a small minority.

No regrets entering Huaxia in this life, and in the next life, I'd wish to be born in a flower-growing family.
