Chapter 13: Crossing the River

Looking at a raging river in front of him, Li Xun's brows furrowed again.

How can this river be so wide, it is more than a hundred meters apart. Such a wide river is extremely rare in the deep mountains and dense forests.

And seeing that the river was muddy, throwing stones, and bottomless, Li Xun was a little retreating. Do you want to give up tracking the big snake?

At least twenty meters deep in the center of the river, which is already the depth of the lake.

It's not that Li Xun is cowardly, but because he doesn't want to have any losses in troops before he sees the main master, these people are useful, and the loss of a single one is not what Li Xun wants to see.

And this mountain is the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger, this river is like a jade belt, and it is separated between the Crouching Tiger and the coiling dragon, just above the dragon vein.

The rivers in this place cannot be compared with ordinary rivers, and they cannot be measured by common sense. In all likelihood, there will be evil in the river itself.

Lin Qingshan watched Li Xun stop and urged: "Mr. Li, then we will start building a raft to cross the river now?"

Li Xun shook his head and pointed to the east side of the river.

The people looked at each other, but they saw nothing. Lin Qingshan looked at it with a telescope and exclaimed in surprise: "There is a chain bridge." ”

Then he put down the binoculars and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, you are amazing, you can see so far away." Then let's go and walk the chain bridge, no need to build a ship. ”

Li Xun thought about it, and suddenly felt that it was not good to retreat at this time, it would hurt their morale and make them feel that there were dangers everywhere in this mountain. Again, Li Xun was just not sure if there would be anything in the river, and he couldn't see it, everything was just speculation.

After being silent for a while, Li Xun still nodded and said, "Then let's go, go to the chain bridge." ”

So, everyone rushed along the river to the chain bridge.

Wangshan ran a dead horse, and always felt that it was not far away, but it took more than two hours to walk to the chain bridge.

When he arrived at the chain bridge, Li Xun saw the rotten wooden planks on the two iron cables, and his eyes changed, stopping Lin Qingshan, who was about to take the lead on the chain bridge.

"What's wrong, Mr. Li?"

Li Xun pointed to the chain bridge and said, "Look at the planks of this chain bridge. ”

"What's wrong with the planks? Oh, it's rotten, isn't it? Haha, Mr. Li, don't worry, everyone here is smart. Even if there is only one iron cable, you can slip through, and you don't need a bridge. ”

Li Xun shook his head: "That's not the reason. Rather, there is still a mountain village in front of here, but there is such a chain bridge near here, why is no one walking? Have you ever thought about this reason? The bridge was built for people to walk, but the wooden planks here are all rotten, and no one has repaired it, which means that no one walks on this bridge, which is very strange. ”

Lin Qingshan said with a grin: "Hey, what's so strange about this, it must be a road in the village, so of course no one will use this chain bridge." ”

Director Liu said with a tangled face: "Captain Lin, you just listen to Mr. Li, it's better to be careful, I think it's quite weird, why is no one walking on this bridge?"

Lin Qingshan's eyes widened: "I'm also afraid of that, I'm afraid of a hammer." We've all seen the big snake, and we're still afraid that he's going to be in a river? Isn't it possible to fall down, let's all wear life jackets, don't you just swim up? ”

At this time, Li Xun's voice came: "That's not as simple as swimming up." ”

Everyone turned their heads, but saw Li Xun squatting on the bridge, stroking the iron rope and pondering.

Lin Qingshan asked: "What's the matter? What can you do if you don't swim up?"

Li Xun said with a smile: "I bet that Captain Lin will never be able to swim up if he falls." ”

Lin Qingshan glanced at the rushing river and said with a dry smile: "I have a good water nature. Also, I can guarantee that I won't fall. ”

Director Liu hurriedly said, "What about me?"

Lin Qingshan snorted coldly, he didn't say anything, but his face was saying: You are a burden.

Li Xun sighed, shook the iron cable, made a rattling sound, and said thoughtfully: "There is a smell of blood on this iron cable, and it has been bloody for a long time." I wonder why there is blood on the bridge, and people who pass by fall, or who walks on the bridge and vomits blood? Don't you think it's strange?"

"The smell of blood?"

The crowd wondered, there would still be a smell of blood on the bridge, and why couldn't we smell it?

But when he thought of Li Xun's peculiar nose, he was relieved again, he could indeed smell something that normal people couldn't smell.

Lin Qingshan stomped his foot irritably: "Then what should I do?"

Li Xun pointed to the woods behind him and said, "Cut down the trees, don't take the iron cable." Cut down the trees first and pave the bridge with planks. ”

"Gee, that's going to take a long time, it's not that much trouble. We have the skills ......" As he spoke, Lin Qingshan saw Li Xun's commanding gaze and raised his hand to surrender: "Okay, listen to you." ”

"Zhang Hu, He Hu, you two are responsible for cutting down trees. Li Hu Liu Hu, you are responsible for cutting the logs into planks, and then laying them on two iron cables to replace the original rotten wood. ”

"Yes. ”

The four of them came out of the queue and immediately began to work.

The army-standard dog-legged knife is very sharp, and the thigh-thick tree will break after two knives, which is faster than a chainsaw. The action was very agile, and in about five minutes, a large pile of thick wooden planks was neatly stacked at the head of the bridge.

Two special forces came out of the queue, holding the planks and going to the iron cable to erect.

"Wait!"

Li Xun snorted.

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, Lin Qingshan was already a little impatient in his eyes, admiring Li Xun was admiring Li Xun, but he felt that Li Xun was too careful to do anything, just like a girl, not happy.

Xu Qianyun also frowned a little, what's wrong with Li Xun? Why is it like a different person to do things today, looking ahead and looking backwards, isn't it just crossing a river, what's so careful? Even if the big snake is hiding in the water, does it dare to show its head?

Li Xun took out the safety rope from their backpack and threw it over: "Everyone has double insurance, one person is tied to two safety ropes, and each safety rope is tied to two different iron cables. ”

The special soldier, codenamed Liu Hu, was a child about nineteen or twenty years old, and seeing Li Xun's concern, he bared his teeth and smiled: "Mr. Li, no. I'm well-known in the army for my agility, and I'm not a recruit's egg, but I also need a safety rope for eggs. ”

Li Xun repeated in a commanding tone: "I'll let you tie it!"

Liu Hu and the other person bowed their heads and silently fastened their seat belts. I didn't dare to fight against Li Xun, a strange person, but I was already dissatisfied in my heart, what, isn't this just relying on my ability to deliberately show off?

It's just a river, cautious, as verbose as the old ladies in the city, annoying to death.

Lin Qingshan stood aside and didn't speak, but his brows were furrowed, he glanced at Xu Qianyun, lowered his voice and said: "I admire his ability, but I look down on his character, it's too ink, I've never seen someone with such ink." ”

Xu Qianyun glared at him and didn't speak. But in my heart, I obviously agreed with his thoughts.

When you enter the mountains, you should pay attention to it. But it's just crossing a river, so what's there to pay attention to? If there is such a great danger in crossing a river, everyone should simply give up this mission, it will be boring.

Director Liu had a different mind, but he felt that Li Xun was doing the right thing, the safer the better, and the safer the better. Be careful, it's definitely right.

And Li Xun faced these eyes that began to change instantly, but his face did not change, he just looked at the river seriously and thought.
