353 The Yellow River burst its banks and the waves rolled
The wind is beautiful, and the Yellow River is quiet. A captain, rowing and singingโ
Do you know how many bends there are in the Yellow River in the world? Dozens of bends, dozens of boats? Dozens of boats, dozens of rods? On dozens of bends, dozens of captains, to pull the boat?
I know that there are ninety-nine bends in the Yellow River in the world. Ninety-nine bends, ninety-nine boats. Ninety-nine boats, ninety-nine rods. On dozens of bends, ninety-nine captains came to pull the boat.
The captain sang happily, and the people on the boat followed suit. It's a rare good time for everyone to talk and laugh. The Jin people retreated, and the people on both sides of the Yellow River showed a long-lost smile. The common people are the common people, as long as there is a bowl of rice to eat, it is better to live than anything else.
There were five people in the public and four people on the boat, all of whom were traders and traders, and they wanted to cross the Yellow River to buy tea and silk to the north to sell. Despite the dangers, the lucrative profits were so great that as long as there was no war, the deal would have to go on.
"Daddy, how old are you today?" Qian Xin asked.
"Seventy-three, eighty-four, Hades does not call himself to go. - I'm seventy-five years old, and I'm in the middle, and maybe one day Hades will call me. The captain laughed.
"Old man, you can live a long life!" Sun Shan said.
"I didn't dare to think about it at the age of 100, it's almost the same to live to be 80 years old!"
"How many years have you been rowing on the Yellow River?" Gong Jiang asked.
"I started drawing at the age of eighteen, you can do the math."
"Fifty-seven years, older than my age!" Liu Yun sighed.
"Shame on the longevity! Ginseng is worth a lot when it's old, but it's not worth a lot when people get old! โ
Everyone talked and laughed, and it was peaceful. The captain's face changed suddenly, and he turned the bow of the boat and rowed towards the north shore.
"Old man, let's go to Henan, how do you row to the north?" Qian Xin said urgently.
"Something big is going to happen!"
"It's calm, what can happen?" Sun Shan said with a smile.
"The Yellow River is known for its 'good silting, good decision, and good migration', and it is said that 'two breaks in three years, and one diversion in a hundred years'. - The Yellow River is angry again! โ
"It's honest, why is it angry? - Paddle to the south shore, and we'll double the money for your boat! Gong Jiang patted the money.
"I don't want money, I want my life! The Yellow River has made a mad cow cry! The captain shouted.
"! There's no sound at all! Liu Yun said disapprerovingly.
"Deaf ears - swing shots."
The old man stopped talking, but rowed vigorously to the north bank, for it was nearly half as far from the north shore as the south bank.
Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo......
The four of them also heard the roar of the Yellow River like a cow, and then they felt that the old man was wise and great. The river, which had been calm just now, rolled up. The boat also rolled with the waves, undulating and undulating. The old man is as stable as Mount Tai, holding the ship and the fate of the five people.
The boat jerked violently, and the money bag in Qian Xin's hand fell into the river.
"My money, stop the boat!" Qian Xin shouted.
The ship could not stop, and did not dare to stop. Qian Xin was in a hurry, holding the string of the boat with one hand, and the cat bent his waist to get the money bag. A wave that flipped it into the water, and after a few blows of the head, it disappeared. The other three clasped the strings of the boat with both hands, praying for the boat to come ashore quickly. A large boat rushed down the river quickly. The captain slashed twice and avoided it. Like a mad bull, the big ship rammed into another big ship, and both ships capsized.
The boat docked.
"Run to the heights!" The old man shouted as he ran up the hill.
Three merchants followed breathlessly. When they reached the top of the mountain, three people sat on the ground. The old man looked solemnly and looked at the Yellow River.
"Another big diversion! I don't know how many families will be ruined! The old man sighed.
The river is turbid and the yellow sand is flying. There were broken boats, chests, wood, horses, cows, dogs, etc. floating on the water. The most heart-wrenching thing is the people, a young man and a woman, holding a piece of wood, floating forward. The man was holding a log in one hand and a donkey in the other. They were a small couple who returned to the door, and they were swept into it by the diversion of the Yellow River......
The raging waters of the Yellow River poured into the mountains, and the three merchants were so frightened that they curled up at the feet of the old man.
"Old man, are you alright?" The three of them asked tremblingly.
"It's hard to say, if the main road of the diversion happens to pass through here, we will have to feed the king." The old man is still looking at the untamable Yellow River.
"I don't want to die! I still have an 80-year-old mother to raise! I'm dead, what will happen to her old man? Sun Shan looked at the water of the Yellow River and said fearfully.
"My lovely little wife is pregnant again, and she will definitely give birth to a son this time." Gong Jiang looked at the Yellow River and said very nostalgically.
"I am a single person, and when I am full of food, the whole family is not hungry. - But I don't want to die! This time I want to make a lot of money and go back to marry a wife. I haven't tasted a woman yet! Liu Yun looked at the Yellow River and prayed with his hands together.
The saint is out, and the Yellow River is clear.
This is the expectation of the common people. Since ancient times, there have been a large number of saints, but the Yellow River has never been cleared.
Legend has it that the Yellow River becomes clear once in 500 years. There is even a saying that "it is difficult to see the Yellow River clear for thousands of years". The water of the Yellow River is always turbid, because it always carries a large amount of sediment, which is still an unsolvable problem.
Over the past 2,500 years, the lower reaches of the Yellow River have flooded more than 1,590 times and been diverted 26 times. According to expert research, the Yin Shang Dynasty moved its capital several times, at least five times to avoid floods.
The Yellow River is one of the most bizarre rivers in the world. On the one hand, it gave birth to Chinese civilization; On the other hand, it has also brought countless disasters to the people of the Central Plains. It originates from the ice peaks and snow at the northern foot of Bayankala Mountain, and when it flows eastward, it passes through a loess plateau and becomes a yellow mud river......
As a result, there is a yellow-skinned people. Yellow water, loess, and yellow people are inseparable.
After about two hours, the crazy Yellow River became quiet again. The small mountain bag where the old man and his wife were was not swallowed up by the Yellow River, and their "lives" were all picked up.
"Old man, you are our reborn parents!" All three knelt at the feet of the old man.
"There's gold under the man's paint, get up!" The old man went to help everyone up, but the three of them said that they would not get up anything.
"Let's take out half of the money from the sale and buy and give the old man a pension!" Sun Shan proposed.
"Yes, half of each person's money. Old man, go back, tease your grandson with your heart, and enjoy the joy of family! Gong Jiang and Liu Yun immediately agreed.
The three men pulled money out of their purses.
"Not so much, not so much! My boat is broken, just enough to build another boat! The old man said with a smile.
"Old man, do you still want to row a boat?" The three of them asked puzzled.
"I was born by the Yellow River when I was a child, and I have dealt with him all my life. I can't see it for a day, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and it's not fun to do anything! I looked forward to the day when I couldn't move and was hit in the water by a wave of the Yellow River. Drifting, drifting, drifting, feeding the fish, feeding the king...... It is my blessing to die in the Yellow River, and even the coffin money is saved! โ
After the old man finished speaking, he laughed, and the three of them nodded and said no more......
