The two were just about to leave when Chen De, who was not far away, saw this and shouted quickly: "Tangtang, where are you going? Your dad said you can't go too far!"

"It's not far. Let's go play with Tangtang and Jumping."

She said, and asked Tiao Tiao where she was going.

Then, Tangtang pointed in a direction and said, "Second dad, let's go play here."

Chen De looked at the direction she was pointing, feeling uneasy and said, "I'll go with you. I'm not worried if you go by yourself."

The terrain in this mountain was complicated, and even though it was the place where Tangtang lived, he didn't trust his two children to play.

Tangtang nodded, one big, two small, and the little squirrel leading the way.

With the little squirrel jumping around to lead the way, they walked farther and farther towards the mountain behind Baiying Temple.

Chen De was worried and said: "Where is this little thing taking us? It's already gone so far."

Tangtang looked back at her second dad and said, "Second dad, we'll be there in a moment."

When the little squirrel heard the sound, he stopped and looked back at them.

Then, the little squirrel continued to jump.

Chen De had no choice but to follow.

This time he didn't walk a few steps when he saw white mist not far away, separated by trees.

"What is that?" Chen De muttered.

The little squirrel stopped, turned back and "squeaked" twice at Tangtang, and then looked at the place shrouded in white mist.

"It's hot water!" Tangtang exclaimed.

After saying that, she took Huihui's hand and said, "Quick, let's go take a look."

Chen De also quickly followed.

After bypassing a clump of bamboo, they could see the gurgling water in the rock-filled pit, with white mist floating on the water, lingering around, and then slowly dissipating.

This scene made Chen De feel like he saw water vapor on the surface of hot water boiling at home.

And these white mist are indeed water vapor, but how can there be steaming water in the mountains?

Chen De was curious and quickly stepped forward.

Tangtang was already squatting by the stone, then looking at the steaming hot water, she directly put her hand in.

"Be careful..." Chen De shouted subconsciously.

Tangtang directly put her hand into the water. When she heard the sound, she turned to look at Chen De, and then said with a smile: "Second dad, it's not hot, it's so comfortable."

Chen De was confused, looked at Tangtang's hand, and reached out to touch it.

When he put his hand in the water, the hot but not scalding water instantly enveloped his hand.

Surprise flashed in Chen De's eyes, and he also smelled a strange burnt smell.

"What does it smell like?" Chen De asked.

Tangtang sniffed it, then shook her head, "I don't know, it's the smell of the water."

After hearing this, Chen De picked up a handful of water, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

"Yeah! It's the taste of this water."

Tangtang nodded and quickly wanted to take off her shoes.

Chen De asked: "Tangtang, what are you going to do?"

"Second dad, Tangtang wants to wash her feet. This water is so comfortable. Tangtang wants to put her feet down."

Chen De saw that the water was brought by the little squirrel, and it was hot, a bit like the volcanic water the old man in the village said.

He responded: "Wait a moment, Second Dad will move these stones away for you and clear a puddle for you."

Although a puddle has formed here, it is not big after all, and only one or two hands can reach into it.

If you want to soak your child's feet, you have to dig some out.

He asked the two children to wait by the side, then moved the surrounding round stones away, and then used sticks, sickles and other tools to dig the puddle as large as possible.

He also found where the water was coming from and dug in.

Soon, he discovered that the deeper he dug, the hotter the water became.

Chen De muttered to himself, "Isn't this really volcanic water?"

Tangtang heard this and quickly asked Chen De, "Second dad, what is volcanic water?"

Chen De thought for a while and then explained: "There used to be a volcano underneath, and then there might be a crack, and the heat inside came out, and it became hot when it encountered water. That's what it means!"

Tangtang nodded in understanding, "Oh, so that's it!"

"Well, my second dad doesn't really understand either, but it's a bit like it."

"It's the hot spring." At this moment, Huihui suddenly said.

Chen De was stunned.

He rarely heard Hui Hui speak, and looked at Hui Hui doubtfully, "Hui Hui, do you also know this stuff?"

Hui Hui pursed her lips and looked at Chen De without explaining.

But when his eyes fell on Tangtang, seeing the anticipation and curiosity in her eyes, Huihui said, "The hot springs are caused by the influence of volcanoes."

After a pause, he added, "Water can be used for bathing and is good for the body."

Huihui had soaked in hot springs before. Smelling the sulfur smell here, he knew that it was the same hot spring as the one he soaked in before. However, this one was wild and no one had built it.

When Chen De saw Huihui saying the same thing, he dug the hole faster.

He smiled and said to the two of them, "Don't worry, wait until I dig bigger and give you two a foot bath."

Tangtang was very excited when she heard this, and she sat obediently with Brother Huihui and waited.

During this period, Tangtang was curious about hot springs and couldn't help but ask Brother Huihui about the hot springs.

Huihui talked more to Tangtang, and talked a lot intermittently.

Tangtang also learned more about the hot springs. Looking at the puddle dug by her second father, she looked forward to it even more.

Several times, Tangtang couldn't help but ask: "Second dad, are you okay?"

Chen De quickly replied: "It's almost here, don't worry."

"Yeah, Tangtang, don't be in a hurry."

She said this, but after a while, Tangtang couldn't help but ask: "Second dad, are you okay?"

Chen De was quite fast and dug a hole that was neither big nor small.

To prevent the two children from getting anxious, he nodded and said, "Okay, come here. When the muddy water drains away, you can soak in the water."

"Uh-huh."

In order to prevent the things underneath from staining the water, Chen De also used stones that could be found nearby to cushion the water. This way, the water would be less likely to stain.

"Okay, you can sit here and put your feet in." Chen De said as he hugged Tangtang over.

Huihui followed Tangtang and sat down on the big rock next to her. However, he did not take off his sneakers immediately, but looked at the water and then at Tangtang.

Tangtang has already put her feet in.

Her place is a sewer, so the water temperature is not that high and it is more comfortable.

When her feet were soaked in the water, she couldn't help but sigh in comfort, "Wow...it feels so comfortable!"

Chen De smiled, looked at Hui Hui next to him, and urged: "Hui Hui, why don't you take off your shoes? Didn't you say that taking a dip is good for your health? Let's take a dip!"

Chen De thought that the puddle was quite big and he could soak in it.

But it was not convenient for him as an adult to fight with a child, and with Huihui acting like this, he was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he gave up.

Huihui said nothing, only shook his head.

He pointed at Tangtang again and said, "Tangtang Pao."

Chen De laughed and said, "It's okay. You guys can soak and play together. I'll dig next to it later and make the puddle bigger. Then everyone can soak together!"

"Yes, yes!" Tangtang nodded and tugged on Huihui's clothes, "Brother Huihui, let's play together, let's play together."
