If you open the map of China, you will find that China is naturally divided into three major plates by two mountain ranges, forming a landform with high in the west and low in the east.

The first is a mountain chain consisting of the Kunlun Mountains, the Qilian Mountains, and the Hengduan Mountains, with a plateau to the west and a basin in the middle.

The second is composed of the Daxing'an Mountains, the Taihang Mountains, the Wushan Three Gorges Mountains, and the Xuefeng Mountains in the south, which isolates the strong winds blowing from the northwest and creates a plain settlement with a pleasant climate in the east.

Among them, the Wushan Three Gorges Mountain Range refers to the waterway from Fengjie to Badong.

This waterway is inclined from northwest to southeast, and this slope makes the dragon of the Yangtze River show its sharp claws, which have devoured countless ships and lives for thousands of years, so that it has been repeatedly written in the classics by passers-by to express the steepness of this section of the waterway.

For example, Li Dada's poem in the Tang Dynasty: "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains", and Du Fu's "Boundless falling trees and Xiao Xiaoxiao, endless Yangtze River rolling", depict how turbulent this waterway is, as well as the desolate and majestic artistic conception.

The two of them are a poet immortal and a poet saint, and the poems they wrote can be regarded as giving some face to the Three Gorges of Wushan, only letting people use their heads to imagine, and what really describes the steepness of Wushan is Li Daoyuan's "Three Gorges".

When the last sentence "Badong Three Gorges Wuxia is long, the ape screams three times and tears are stained", it makes people sigh and cry for the innocent lives who died in this waterway.

Some people say, this road is so difficult to walk, can't I take a detour? The answer is, no!

Since the Tang Dynasty, the Three Gorges Road of Wushan has been the most prosperous transportation corridor in southern China, and it is the only way out of Sichuan.

Today's dogs are experiencing this good "reputation", because the ancient direction is to "west" as the top, to the "east" as the "down", so the dog and his party were the boss of the cargo ship, flattered as "the good man of Wushan", at the beginning of the dog did not agree with it, is not the water wave is a little big, the current is a little turbulent, what a hero, but when the boat really rowed to the river, the dog's careful liver began to pop and puff wildly, a pair of legs and feet are also trembling.

"Bow of the boat, quickly dodge, that stone, ahhhh

Seeing that the bow of the boat was about to hit the boulder in the river, Yang Xiaoxiu, who was holding the dog's arm, began to clench it hard, and then the dog, who was already nervous, was frightened by him and shouted out:

"Boat boss, quickly row to the right, there's a big rock on the mountain that is about to roll over!"

The boat boss holding the oars glanced at the two little babies who were screaming indiscriminately, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the oars in his hand were pointed on a reef in the river with teeth and claws, and then the boat that was about to crash straight up turned around so magically, and with a whoosh, the boat passed through this section of the waterway smoothly.

"Mother, it's here again! Look at the big tree stump ahead, slow down the boat! It's going to crash! ”

With a thud, the large stump in the dog's mouth was swept aside by a thick-shouldered boatman, and just as he cast a contemptuous glance at the dog, the bow of the boat spat out the twig in his face.

"Are you a second son? This stump is so thick, it can be sold for a lot of money when you take it out, what do you do by poking it into the distance? ”

A scolding made the boatman's face full of embarrassment, and without seeing him explain, he stretched out his hand to untie the rope around his waist, and his action frightened everyone on board, especially the dog, who quickly wiped the waves on his face, and scolded him loudly:

"Straight sissy thief! Why are you untying the rope around your waist? ”

"Don't do it, I'll go and put a rope on the stump!" The man replied dissatisfiedly.

"You're a big devil! We are still tied to this rope, you put the rope on the stump, what should we do, this wave ......"

Phew, the dog was poured into the mouth by the waves, burped and spit out and continued: "This wave is so big, if we are hit by the waves, how can you save us!" ”

The boatman glanced at the few people holding the rope tightly, pursed his lips, and said sincerely: "It's useless to tie the rope, if the waves are really so big, our boat will be beaten into the river, don't believe it, ask my second uncle, his son was beaten down by the waves, and he hasn't found it so far!" ”

When the dog heard this, his face immediately changed.

When the boatman saw it, he thought that the dog didn't believe it, so he pulled a man in front of him and said, "Second uncle, you tell them, what I just said is not true!" ”

"Yes, yes, the third baby is right!" The second uncle of the reckless boatman turned his head and said to the dog with a sad face: "My baby is stronger than the third baby, and there were still two ropes wrapped around my body at that time, and when the wave came, both ropes were broken, and we didn't have time to react, he was gone!" Alas, my poor baby has become the little ghost of the Water Dragon King! ”

"Oh, don't be sad second uncle, let's eat the waterway, sooner or later we will go to see the Water Dragon King, and the third baby is just earlier than us, don't be sad!"

The two of them chattered like this, but they scared the dog and the others so much that they didn't dare to come out.

The boat boss, who was watching and listening to all directions, saw the expressions of the dog and his party, and hurriedly reprimanded the two: "What are you two stupid men talking nonsense, don't you close your stinky mouth quickly!" ”

After the two of them were stopped, the boat boss turned his head and smiled comforting the dogs: "Oh, my lords, don't listen to the nonsense of those two fools!" I'll make sure you're out unscathed! ”

With this sentence as the foundation, it can be regarded as making everyone half angry again.

"You, how can you guarantee it?" Yang Xiaoxiu asked curiously.

"Hahaha!"

The boss of the boat smiled heartily: "Before I left the boat, I kowtowed to the Dragon Lord and burned three incense sticks, and I sacrificed a pig's head and a big rooster this time!" ”

Speaking of this, the boat boss said with confidence: "You are the people who the Heavenly Star Monarch fancies, and the Star Monarch and the Dragon King are a family, so it will not harm you, so I am sure that this trip is safe and worry-free!" ”

Dogs: ......

What can you say, everyone is halfway on the boat, or what?

So the dog looked at the big tree stump in the river with layers of waves and ups and downs, and sighed: "This stump has a few dollars, and when the boat stops, I will pay out of my pocket to replenish you, I just ask you to row seriously, don't be distracted!" Wait for the boat to arrive safely, and the reward will be doubled! ”

"Okay! There is a sentence about petty officials, we must be attentive! Sit down! ”

The captain of the boat replied to the dog, and then turned to the boatman and shouted, "Brothers, grit your teeth and work hard, yo! ”

"Hey!"

"The Water Dragon King is napping, yo!"

"Hey!"

"Raise your head and you'll be on the shore soon, yo!"

"Hey!"

"The mother-in-law on the shore is waving her little hand, yo!"

"Hey!"

……

With the sound of the boatmen's horns, the waves were left behind, the overlapping peaks on both sides of the river bank began to become poetic, and the cry of the ape, which was originally higher than a voice, also disappeared, and the sun hanging high in the air was also missing!

"Wow!"

The feeling of seasickness is really uncomfortable, and the feeling of vomit stuck in the throat and eyes is even more greasy, so the dog needs to rely on some external factors to continue to spit it out.

"Vomit ......"

Huge Lang this goods, I ate a lot of persimmons at lunch, so the filth that spit out is actually yellow, and I look at it from a distance, okay, I feel that it is coming.

"Gross!"

The sound of vomiting made the boat boss who was squatting on the bank of the river and washing his feet a little dissatisfied, after all, he was downstream.

"I said to all the big officials, why don't you vomit again after you have been vomiting for a quarter of an hour, this body is also weaker!"

"Don't talk!" The dog raised his hand in his busy schedule and said, "Let's vomit happily." ”

Holy shit, Yang Xiaoxiu, what did you eat, why did you vomit so disgustingly, vomiting......

In ancient times, Sichuan people went out of Sichuan, especially those who were old, and they would write a letter to their families before taking the boat, and the content was naturally to explain what happened after their deaths.

The steepness of the waterway forced them to do this, even if they survived the bumps, the sequelae of seasickness would be entangled for a long time, you think, they all vomited out the bile, and the old man with a weak body was not greatly injured, but fortunately, the dog and his party, there were no old and sick people, so it took about two quarters of an hour to return to normal even vomiting and resting.

"Boatman, there are many troubles on this trip, No, these three taels of silver will be given to you!" The dog took out three pieces of silver from his bosom and handed them to him.

Bai Huahua's silver taels were handed to him, and the boat boss's mouth was crooked, and he hurriedly took it and put it in his mouth, bit it with his teeth, and then weighed it and said:

"Hey, a few ministers are really kind-hearted, and they actually give so much to the old man! Thinking about them before, they gave us two taels of silver at most, and I really thanked Xianggong! ”

Three taels of silver for six people, on average, is only 500 yuan per person, is it more than the danger along the way?

"Alright! Alright! ”

The dog waved his hand to stop the old boat avenue who kept bowing: "I have been fortunate all the way, in addition to the fare, the rest of the reward money will be used to eat some delicious food!" It's getting dark, so let's leave it at that! ”

"Thank you!"

"Thank you, little official! I wish several kind-hearted ministers all the title of the gold list! ”

In this way, the dogs and their party, amid the chaotic congratulations of the boatmen, each got into the carriage and walked towards the inn in front of them.

As for the boatmen, they returned to the cargo ship and slowly rowed back to the road before sunset.

Originally, the boss of the boat said that he wanted to rest here at the wharf, but there was a sudden return in the river, and some wind was blowing back from time to time on the river.

This kind of God-given opportunity, the old nature of the boat refused to miss it, so he let the boat go back.

Just before the dog entered the inn, he turned around and saw the lights on the ship.

If it weren't for the compulsion of life, where would these people row back at night, after all, the danger at night is multiplied, and when they encounter a place where the water is turbulent, it is very likely that they will end up with a boat wreck, but why do these boatmen still return to the boat at night?

Is it because they are really bold enough to see death as if they were home? Or have they mastered their rowing skills?

The dog thought, the most fundamental reason, or reluctant to live in the hotel at night, the six of them, even if they choose the cheapest Chase shop, they will get 200 yuan a night, as well as the night and the next day's meal money, if there is no wind on the second day, go back against the current, and encounter a difficult place, you have to hire a slender man to pull the boat.

So in order to save money, I had to face it calmly.

Alas, it's really hard to live!
