Chapter 17: The Change of Day
Ye Xiaotian heard the shouts of the ship boss, and easily held on to the window of the cabin.
Black mouth? A section of the river will be noted with a name, there must be something special, either the scenery is unusually beautiful, or the water and terrain are unusual, this is inevitable, no one will be bored, give a name to each section of the river. However, Ye Xiaotian was in no mood to go out of the cabin to see the scenery now, he just held on to the side of the boat to prevent the bumps.
Hong Baichuan is so good at martial arts, his next kung fu is particularly solid, at this time only his feet are slightly divided, and he doesn't even use force, just wait for the huge ups and downs of the big boat down the river, and then unload according to the ups and downs of the hull.
But the situation on the river is far more complicated than they imagined. There are a large number of boats downstream waiting to rush upstream, and there are many local people on both sides of the river who specialize in slender men waiting there, dragging boats through the "water barrier" with fiber ropes, and then untying the fiber ropes to drag the next boat.
Due to various delays in the downstream boats, once the switch is opened, there are more ships sailing out. When the boats reached the Black Mouth, they had to be dragged across the waterfall with a rope, and the other boats waited a little longer, and a large number of boats gathered downstream of the waterfall.
According to the usual practice, unless there is a boat downstream being dragged by a slender man to "climb" across the waterfall, the boat coming upstream is temporarily aside, otherwise it is necessary to give way to the upstream boat first, the reason is: the upstream boat goes fast, as long as the sail is lowered, to avoid the influence of the wind, and then by the experienced boatman to rudder, let the boat steadily smash down the small waterfall, the boat can go down the river and quickly give way to the river.
Ye Xiaotian, the boss of the boat on the salt boat, had already received a signal from the front boat, and at this time, there was no downstream ship being dragged up by the slender man, and there was a big boat moored by the river on the left, and the slender man was tied to the rope, so the boat boss immediately warned the guests on the boat, and then raised a small red flag, shaking and signaling downstream: He wants to fly downstream.
There are more boats downstream, though. Basically, they were all separated in turn, and the middle waters of the river were all given up, and the width was enough for the three large ships upstream to descend in turn.
The big ship at the front was the boat of the wealthy merchant Huang Da, who was connected to the bridge with a certain big head, and the boat smashed down the small waterfall with a bang, for such a big ship, it was just a sinking of the bow of the ship, smashing heavily on the water, stirring up waves several feet high, and then the hull of the ship moved along the current, and the bow of the ship was lowered and cocked again. In the process, as long as the rudder is stabilized, there is no strong wind, and the hull does not capsize, it is considered safe.
But at this time downstream, there was a centipede clipper speeding downstream, and the middle of the river was avoided by a boat to make way for a waterway, and the centipede clipper did not look at the situation ahead, and rushed in, and it happened to be the big boat surnamed Huang who smashed down from the waterfall.
"Boom~~~"
The water was rushing into the sky, and the centipede clipper downstream was in a hurry. The sailors on board shouted and swung the rudder and turned the sails, trying to avoid it, but in a hurry they moved violently, and the whole ship was equal to the river. The sailors on the boat paddled hard, but because the hull of the ship was across the water, there were other ships waiting to cross the black mouth not far from the front and back, and they crashed into it at once.
"Get out of the way! You're fucking blind...... Ouch! ”
The sailors on the ship, surnamed Huang, scolded angrily. At the same time, he made an emergency rudder, but he was only halfway through the curse, and his own bow slammed into the stern part of the centipede clipper. The ship's boss is turning the rudder sharply. The bow direction was towards the stern of the centipede clipper, but it was in a hurry and could not be avoided.
As soon as the two ships collided, the centipede clipper couldn't afford such a strong collision, and the stern "clicked" and cracked a big hole, and the big ship surnamed Huang Shangjia had already turned the rudder and couldn't stop the momentum, so he rushed into the boats that were waiting to cross the river in turn on the right side of the river, and plunged into the group of boats, hitting several boats on their backs.
Many people on the boat surnamed Huang Shangjia were unsteady on their feet and fell down one after another. Ye Xiaotian's guards on this boat, there were those who were curious to run to the side of the boat to see how to cross the black mouth, and after eating this collision, they actually turned out of the side of the boat and fell into the water, it was winter at this time, the water was as cold as ice, even if they would not be able to die in the water, this living crime was inevitable.
"What's going on? Who the fuck would dare to stand in the way of our lord's ship? Our lord is the big head of Jiuqu Peak, you visit from four miles and eight towns, who doesn't know the name of our Liu Mansion Liu? ”
At this time, a big ship came downstream, seeing that the front hit the boat, or did not stop, the Wugong clipper and the boat surnamed Huang Shangjia crashed into the left and right respectively, the bow of the ship was stuck in the middle of the other ships on both sides of the strait, and could not move, the stern was connected, arched together, forming a triangular gap, the big ship sailed to this gap area, filled in, and then threw the drawing, and a person in charge of the bow shouted with a fake tiger.
At this time, the salt boat upstream of Ye Xiaotian also went straight down the river and rushed down. The task of looking out mainly belonged to the sailors on the ship surnamed Huang in front, and they saw that the downstream ships were very obediently separated from the left and right, and the central position of the river was vacant, so they signaled the ships behind and rushed down directly.
In this way, the salt boat where Ye Xiaotian was didn't wait, because the ship was big, and the draft was deep with so many people and horses on board, it was easier to rush down with this momentum, if you first throw the drawing and wait, and then use the speed of the river to make the boat move, the speed is too fast and slow, the boat is too slow, it will be difficult to pass this hurdle, and if you are not careful, the keel will be stuck on the hurdle, then there will be a joke.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden elbow change at this time, and suddenly a boat downstream saw so many ships waiting on the river in front of them, and actually sailed up directly, and collided with the big ship surnamed Huang, and it was too late for them to anchor and stop the ship.
The captain of the boat shouted: "Hold on!" Get down, I'm going to bump into it~~~"
"Boom~~"
The bow of their big ship slammed down the waterfall, causing a splash several feet high, and then jumped, rushed forward, and as expected, hit the tail of the big ship surnamed Huang, and ate this collision, their big ship changed direction, and hit the bow of the centipede clipper, knocking the centipede clipper over the whole thing.
The big ship that had just sailed downstream was too close, and these boats that were stuck together were hit by this force, and they moved down a distance of about two zhang together, and the two boats that collided first were about one point away, so that Ye Xiaotian's boat directly collided with the bow of the ship downstream, and the steward who was angrily slamming others at the bow of the boat for being disrespectful to their head man didn't say a word, rolled forward in the air, and plunged into the boiling river, stopping his chatter.
Inside the cabin. Hong Baichuan suffered a dark loss, he thought it was just the hull of the ship to be bumpy, and Tuoda didn't help things, but the ship hit hard, and the force changed from up and down to front and back, left and right, he even slid back with a chair and hit the bulkhead hard.
Before Hong Baichuan could sit down, he saw Ye Xiaotian "ouch", and the whole person flew into the air with his hands dancing, and plunged into his arms again. Ye Xiaotian was still struggling in the air, and his elbow inadvertently hit Hong Baichuan's abdomen again, Rao is Hong Baichuan's martial arts, eating this defenseless hit, he was out of breath in pain for a while.
"希聿聿聿~~~"
The frightened sailors of the ships got up one after another, ran to the side of the ship to accuse and curse, the people who crashed into the water struggled and shouted in the icy water, and the ships on both sides that suffered unjustified disasters were not to be outdone, and sailors and guests poured to the deck to join in the scolding. And the boat surnamed Huang Shangjia and the horses on Ye Xiaotian's big boat were frightened, and they also scurried around, and the boats on the entire river were all over the place, chaotic.
"Is Nephew alright?"
"I'm fine. How did this happen. ”
Ye Xiaotian and Hong Baichuan greeted each other and rushed out of the cabin in annoyance.
The boss of the ship was blushing and scolding people, and Ye Xiaotian rushed to the deck to see the chaos on the river. frowned, looked into the water, and slapped the boat boss on the shoulder. Said: "Don't have to theorize, save people to save!" ”
"Ahh Childe ......"
Although the boss of the boat was annoyed that the few boats rushing downstream did not follow the rules, he was even more afraid of the old man surnamed Ye, who had many fierce gods under him, so he hurriedly changed his face and said with a smile: "The small one will save people, and the small one will be destroyed, you have to make the decision for the little one!" ”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Boat, I'll compensate you for a new one, save people quickly!" ”
"Good, good, little ...... Be careful! ”
"What?" Ye Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, and then he felt an uncontrollable huge force crashing heavily from behind, and Ye Xiaotian landed with his feet off the ground and flew into the air.
"Virtuous nephew!" Hong Baichuan was shocked, with a big hand, his fingers were like claws, and he slammed towards Ye Xiaotian, but unfortunately, Ye Xiaotian fell into the rolling river in the air.
The boss of the boat was leaning on the side of the ship, and he was hit hard by this force, and he hit the side of the ship hard, and his hip bone hurt. Looking at it again, Ye Xiaotian fell into the river, the boat boss was stunned for a moment, his voice rose an octave, and he screamed like a woman: "Save people!" Save people~~~"
As soon as he shouted two sentences, Hong Baichuan, who had stabilized his figure, flew up and kicked him into the water: "Hurry up and save people!" Go down to all of you! ”
Hong Baichuan pointed to the sailors who had just gotten up with a shocked face, and those sailors glared at Hong Baichuan, did not dare to hesitate, and jumped into the water one after another. Most of Ye Xiaotian's subordinate guards came from the mountains, and they really didn't know the nature of water, even if some of them had fluttered in small rivers and lakes, they couldn't do the tide in the rushing river.
Knowing that they would not be able to save the adults by going into the water, they could only be rescued, so they wisely did not go into the water to show their loyalty, but threw themselves on the side of the boat, staring nervously at the chaotic scene in the water. As soon as Ye Xiaotian, who could only plane, was knocked into the water, he rose and fell in the water a few times, and then disappeared, which really scared the guards on the boat.
Hong Baichuan glanced back, and just after this collision, it turned out that the boat behind couldn't stop and crashed into it again. Hong Baichuan smiled bitterly, turned his head to look at the water again, and saw the boss of the boat suddenly emerge from the water, cheering: "I've been saved, I've been saved!" ”
Hong Baichuan's eyes were so sharp, although the person was covered in water, embarrassed, and not easy to recognize, he could still see at a glance that it was not Ye Xiaotian, but the chattering uncle on the boat downstream just now.
Hong Baichuan said angrily: "It's not him, look for Lord Ye quickly, if you can't save people, kill your whole family!" ”
The boat boss turned his head to see that the guy who was holding his collar and gurgling in his mouth was really not Ye Xiaotian, and as soon as he let go of his hand, a fierce man plunged into the water again, and after a while, the boat boss surfaced again, grabbing a person's hair with his big hand, he lifted the man's head and looked at it first, and cheered: "I have been saved, I have been saved!" ”
Hong Baichuan saw that it was Ye Xiaotian, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately grabbed a piece of cable, jumped over, and flew into the river, the boss of the boat was still cheering, Hong Baichuan had already flown in the air, and as soon as he grabbed Ye Xiaotian's collar, he lifted the unconscious Ye Xiaotian out of the water......
