Chapter 371

Di Renjie hesitated slightly, and also stepped from the shore, wanting to step onto the boat.

But I don't know if Captain Liu moved a little more when he got on the boat just now, which made the boat shake a little. This caused Di Renjie to step on one foot, and the boat leaned even more.

Rao is Di Renjie kicked the ground hard, but the slippery bottom of the shore did not help much.

On the contrary, because of the slipperyness, Di Renjie was unsteady on his feet and fell directly into the Fen River.

Fortunately, the river on the shore is not deep, plus the boat is in front of you. So Di Renjie just fell into the water, and he grabbed the edge of the boat by feeling.

Captain Liu was stunned for a moment, hurriedly went over and pulled Di Renjie onto the boat, and said, "It's better to go back and change into clean clothes when you join the army, in case you catch a cold, it's not good." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Captain Liu, where is this going? ”

Di Renjie didn't care so much, and asked while twisting his clothes.

Liu Xiaowei didn't want to say it, but when he saw Di Renjie's appearance, he hesitated for a moment, and still said: "I'm going to go upstream to have a look, and then go downstream to have a look." I've always felt that after such a long time, I shouldn't have gained nothing at all. ”

"Can you let someone Di follow along?" Although the tone was inquiring, Di Renjie's appearance was clearly that he was on the boat and did not plan to go down.

Since this is the case, Captain Liu didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he immediately nodded and ordered his subordinates to start the boat.

Of course, there is another reason why he can be so simple, that is, after Di Renjie fell into the water, he did not have the squeamish behavior of civil officials.

With the exertion of the sailors, the boat left the shore and went upstream little by little.

At the beginning, Di Renjie was still twisting his wet clothes, but it seemed that he had been twisting for a long time, and it was useless, so he simply gave up and let his clothes drip onto the board.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the Fen River seems to be much calmer, and the brilliance of the sunset is reflected on the water surface, which is quite beautiful.

Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If there is nothing to do in the future, it is also a beautiful thing to come here to see the sunset." ”

As a sailor who has been swimming on the Fen River all year round, Captain Liu has exactly the same opinion as Di Renjie on this point.

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't have the opportunity to leave and rise to another position. But at that time, he had the common hypocrisy of the people of the Tang Dynasty, that is, he was reluctant to see this beautiful scenery in front of him. By the time he wanted to be promoted, the vacancy had already been filled by someone else.

In this case, in the face of Su Peng's olive branch, he had no reason to miss it.

So for two days in a row, he was busy without sleep, in order to get a.

Of course, Di Renjie didn't know this. Compared with Captain Liu's future, he is more concerned about the case in front of him.

"Almost, ...... turning the bow of the boat," after almost a stick of incense, Captain Liu opened his mouth and commanded.

After turning the bow of the boat, the sailor's soldiers lowered their oars and let the boat drift with the current.

At first, Di Renjie didn't understand what this was for.

But when he found that the boat was slowly moving downstream with the current, he roughly understood Captain Liu's intentions.

"Is the captain trying to find out where the shipwreck was in the first place through this simulation?"

Captain Liu nodded and explained: "According to Wang Laosan, the boat sank at night, and because the Fen River is an inland river, the speed of the water flow in the evening is the closest to that at night without the influence of special weather. So I wanted to try it and see if I could get a rough estimate. "Lazy people listen to books

Hearing Captain Liu's words, Di Renjie's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that if he could really find it, it would really be good news.

Xu was worried that his words would affect Captain Liu's thoughts, so Di Renjie stopped talking, just sat there and looked at the banks of the Fen River carefully, hoping that he could find something.

But unfortunately, half an hour passed, and the place where the shipwreck was already in front of him, and Di Renjie found nothing.

And Captain Liu, although he can't say that he found nothing, but for a while he didn't think about how to estimate the location of the wreck.

When they arrived at the location of the shipwreck, the soldiers of the sailor division saw that their captain was still frowning and thinking without giving orders, so they did not move, and let the boat continue to float on the Fen River.

After almost a stick of incense, Captain Liu spoke again and asked, "Is the water flowing faster?" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "It's faster." ”

After listening to the soldiers' answers, Captain Liu stopped talking. He frowned and thought for a while before he spoke again: "Go back to the place where you just turned around." ”

Just like just now, after returning to the place where he turned around, Captain Liu ordered his subordinates to turn around and collect the oars.

In this way, Di Renjie began to drift on the Fen River again.

It's a pity that the rafting just now didn't come to fruition, and this rafting was also fruitless.

By the time they reached the wreck in half an hour, it was almost dark, and the boat had finally stopped.

"Let's stop." It was Di Renjie who spoke.

Although the soldiers of the water division did not listen to Di Renjie's words, Captain Liu nodded and gave an order.

After the boat re-docked and stabilized, Di Renjie said, "Captain, go up and rest." ”

"It's okay, I'm going to rest when I join the army, I'm thinking about it......"

Before he finished his words, Di Renjie pulled him up. said: "Captain, you haven't closed your eyes for a long time. Even if I think about it now, I'm afraid I can't think of a reason.

As the saying goes, work and rest are combined. If you go on like this, I'm afraid you haven't figured out how to estimate, and your body will collapse first. ”

Captain Liu wanted to say something more, but a cool breeze blew, and several people suddenly sneezed.

Listening to the sneezes in his ears one after another, and then looking at his subordinates who were all tired and unpresentable, Captain Liu was finally moved by Di Renjie's words.

"The order goes down, and everyone drops anchor, and all go ashore."

At the sound of the order, there were many low-voiced cheers from the sailor's boat.

Obviously, after repeated exertion, they were already desperate for rest.

Although Captain Liu's boat was the first to drop anchor, he was the last person to disembark.

He stood at the bow of the boat and watched his men return to the shore one by one, before he followed Di Renjie and stepped on the embankment.

This time, he did not refuse Di Renjie's invitation again, but followed Di Renjie to the grass shed that leaked on all sides.

Outside the grass shed, the soldiers of the water division and the officials of the yamen buried the pot to make rice. And beside them, there is also a Di Renjie......
