Chapter 103: Torrent Bravery

Yongdong River Scenic Area is a national 5A-level scenic spot, and it is also an earlier and more mature tourism project in Xiangxi tourism.

The operating river section is from Hani Palace to Niu Road, which is about 17 kilometers long.

The two sides of the scenic spot are mostly primeval forests, lush and lush, the water flow is turbulent, green and clear, there are ten miles of cliffs, ten miles of waterfall springs, ten miles of picture scrolls, and the reputation of ten miles of caves.

Among them, there are one hundred and eight rapids and rapids, and twenty large and small waterfalls.

Drifting, crossing rapids, crossing dangerous beaches, breaking narrow valleys, catching torrents, there is no danger, and the aftertaste is endless.

In particular, because of the special style of "the mountain is fierce like a tiger, the water is as fast as a dragon, and the caves are strange", it is known as "the first drift in the world".

In the summer of 2019, Zhuo Qun and Guo Yue took their son Zhuo Zhi and Qiao Jian and Xu Yuntao's family to travel here.

This is a summer family camp organized by them in order to cultivate children's courage and field knowledge.

So whether it's fourteen-year-old Qiao Ya, thirteen-year-old Xu Zan, or ten-year-old Zhuozhi, no matter how scared you are.

They were all forced by their fathers to put on raincoats, fasten life jackets, and pick up water guns.

Then, with a tanned guide with their heads, faces and arms, follow their respective parents aboard the same drifting boat and go through the adventure together.

But fear is not something that can be dispelled all at once.

When the kayak large enough to carry twelve people started along the leisurely flowing river.

Zhuozhi, who had only rowed an electric boat in the park, immediately nervously grabbed Zhuoqun's hand.

Zhuo Qun whispered comfort, letting Zhuo Zhi grab the safety rope.

While checking his son's life jacket again, he reached out and fastened it vigorously.

And with Zhuo Qun's continuous encouragement and assurance, and under his various actions full of fatherly love, Zhuo Zhi finally settled down.

The childish face showed the perseverance of manhood.

Especially as the rubber boat slowly drifts forward.

The river is lined with mountain peaks, ancient trees, lush grass and colorful wildflowers, and there is a thrilling beauty at every corner.

The oppressive green, the chirping of birds, the sunlight slipped down the ancient vines, and the abrupt cliffs shone with an ancient sheen.

Even at a young age, he was fascinated by the beauty of nature, just like everyone else.

"Daddy, look, look! Monkey!

Takari suddenly pointed to the distant riverbank, his face radiating with excitement.

There are a few monkeys in the dare, jumping along the cliff.

It's really worthy of the words "the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying".

And at this moment, when approaching the ancient "Diaoyu Tai", the speed of the water inadvertently became faster.

The rafting boat experienced several crashing waves and soon entered the first section of the rapids.

For a while, face the frankness, and then twist the intestines.

Needless to say, as the boat tossed and swayed in the river downstream, one wave followed another.

The screams on the drift boat were also wave after wave.

It even overwhelmed the chirping of birds and insects, and the cry of monkeys, echoing in the mountains and valleys.

However, this kind of excitement brings physical and mental pleasure that people in these cities have never experienced firsthand.

There is simply no comparison to the man-made "rapids" in amusement parks.

Even when women and children scream, they are genuinely afraid.

At the same time, I swallowed some of the river water more or less, and still felt happy.

When the drifting boat passed through the turbulent waters and resumed its smooth and gentle floating, Zhuo Qun looked at his wife and children, and he was particularly satisfied to find it.

Whether it is Guo Yue or his son Zhuozhi, the panicked anxiety just now is gone, and they all become smiling and happy.

Especially Guo Yue, she was originally opposed to participating in rafting activities, because she was worried that her son was too young to adapt.

In the end, it is because Zhuoqun insists on ensuring that there will be no problems.

gave his son a chance to participate in such exciting entertainment and grow into a man.

The drift boat did not go straight to the finish line.

Instead, on the way, they docked at a simple pier built on a stone cliff to let everyone rest.

Many locals stay here.

The corn, pears, apples and peaches they sell are all lovely, and they look fresh when they look at each basket.

Qiao Jian and Yang Li went to buy some for everyone.

Zhuo Qun and Xu Yuntao's family took down the waterproof box tied to the bed, which contained the water and food they had brought.

With the opening of the cold beer, all kinds of food are opened, and everyone eats and drinks while chatting.

Adults were quickly attracted by children's curious and imaginative language.

Through their perspectives and observations, everyone discovered that there is actually more cuteness and fun in this world.

For the sake of the children, everything is worth it.

This is Zhuo Qun's heartfelt feeling.

To be honest, since 2009, after having a son in their lives, Zhuo Qun and Guo Yue's lives have become less comfortable.

Because Guo Yue is not willing to take care of his son at all, he is not willing to take care of his son.

Therefore, the life and education of Zhizhi have always been done by the couple themselves.

Rao is Zhuoqun is relatively experienced, and it is difficult for him to fully satisfy his mother's love for his son.

Breastfeeding, dressing, language learning, walking, early education classes, swimming classes, exercise classes, English classes......

They gave up their leisure time and threw themselves all into it.

In short, children's content is really much richer than that of adults, and it requires the wholehearted dedication of adults.

So later, in view of the fact that Zhuo Qun had just taken over the position of president of "Urban Life" at that time.

It is also planning a promotion plan for a news app, and has once again entered a critical period of its career.

Guo Yue chose to resign.

Eventually, she became a stay-at-home wife and devoted herself to her husband and children at home.

However, Guo Yue's self-sacrifice and contribution to the family are also obvious.

Zhuoqun's career has been successful again.

The two online literature stations under his command and the newly developed "Today's News" have high traffic.

He has become an entrepreneurial leader and pioneer figure in the Internet industry who can stand side by side with the "second horse".

And under Guo Yue's dedicated care, their son's wisdom is also full of excellent quality, and he is much better than children of the same age in all aspects.

It is already foreseeable that when he grows up, he will be a son who will make his parents proud.

Let's put it this way, their family of three has almost become the most perfect model of a small family in the world.

So much so that last year, Zhuo Qun took a plane and met Connie, who had become a purser.

There is not much emotional fluctuation anymore.

Although he was curious, he later asked someone else to deliberately inquire about Connie's whereabouts.

It is known that she married a businessman who opened a hotel in 2004 and gave birth to twins.

But the happiness he has can make him bless Connie calmly.

Even from his point of view, this life was his abandonment by Connie—abandoned by her without her knowledge.

Half an hour later, the rafting boat set off again.

Interestingly, as soon as the drifting boat that Zhuo Qun and his group were riding in was pulled out, they were caught in a water gun attack from other boats that set off with them.

But although the other party's provocation was the first, its strength was insufficient.

Under the fierce counterattack of Zhuo Qun, Qiao Jian, Xu Yuntao and the two boys, they were quickly defeated and fled.

In this way, Zhuo Qun and they began the second half of the greater rapids challenge with the joy of victory.

Perhaps it is for this reason that even if the current and the waves are stronger than just now, there is even a premonition that it is almost going to roll over twice.

But Zhuo Qun saw that his wife Guo Yue and son Zhuo Zhi had completely abandoned their fear of rafting activities.

They immersed themselves in the thrill of this test of courage.

After this rafting, although exhausted and sad, everyone felt that the aftertaste was endless, and the children were crazy.

Zhuo Zhi, in particular, seems to have fallen in love with such activities, and he strongly asks Zhuo Qun to take him on another adventure similar to this.

So Zhuo Qun temporarily decided to take everyone to the grassland on the dam to ride a horse.

This was immediately supported by Qiao Jian and Xu Yuntao's families.

As a result, they even developed a richer connection and discussed that they wanted to take their children to see more magnificent and surprising places in the world this winter vacation.

Either go to Yellowstone Park in the United States to see wolves, or go to the African savannah to see lions, or go to the desert of Egypt to ride a camel and enter the pyramids to feel the mystery of the pharaoh's tomb.

It's just that everyone doesn't realize that Zhuoqun, the initiator of this family travel event.

But at this moment, I suddenly felt a kind of fear from the countdown.

He was really scared from the bottom of his heart.

He was afraid that he would not be able to survive the most critical point of time as he had survived this intense drift.

He was afraid that these beautiful plans, which had not been implemented, would come to naught because of the arrival of October 11, and he would be stillborn.
