Chapter 13: Crossing the River
Bypass? Don't make a fuss, when will the bridge be completed on the more than 100-meter river. Hovercraft? Yes, but it's a mountain, a mountain, a mountain, not a seaside. Shoot an arrow to the opposite side? , the best compound bow is more than 100 meters flat, not to mention carrying more than 100 meters of rope. But what can I do?
"What should I do?"
"Get a boat, you can't get through without a boat."
"Nonsense, I also know, where is the boat going? We don't have a boat in town. ”
"Why don't we do it ourselves?"
“???”
"Find a few pieces of wood and order a raft, it's just temporary anyway"
"That's all I can do."
Xiao Yu and the two discussed for a long time, so they could only nail a raft by themselves, and they didn't need to be more strong and easy to use, as long as they could reach the opposite side safely.
The two went back to Xiao Yu's house to get a chain saw, the wood was ready-made, and in the past two years, every household has built a new house, and the wood is still good pine, which is ready to be used as the main beam.
Find some leg-thick wood, cut into 3 meters long, a dozen side by side, obviously can not be fixed with nails, rummaged through at home, found a bundle of building the house leftover 'pickpocket', all called so, the scientific name does not know what to call, just like oversized staples, both ends are pointed, is made of thumb-thick steel bar, mainly to build a house with a purlin and beams on the steel and wood joints. It is just right to fix the raft.
In the two sections of the head and tail of the wood, each of the two pieces of wood is nailed a 'picker', and after the raft is formed, the two sides of the raft are fixed between the two woods, and it feels a lot more solid.
Two people with a lot of strength also sweated profusely after finishing this raft, and it took more than an hour, not to mention that this stupid big black and thick raft was really heavy, and it was quite difficult to move with Xiao Yu's current strength, and the two worked together to get the raft onto the tricycle, Xiao Yu made two more oars and found a long bamboo pole, and then returned to the river,
Put the raft into the water, the raft is firmly parked at the water's edge, although it looks unreliable, but it is actually not bad.
Xiao Yu licked his lips and got on the boat in fear, it was okay, it didn't sink, so he beckoned Li Yushu to come up too, put the simple oars on the raft, Xiao Yu picked up the bamboo pole and weighed it hard, and the raft slowly drifted down the water to the downstream.
"Weigh on the other side, keep going, don't keep running down." Li Yushu shouted and commanded Xiao Yu on the side.
"Didn't you see me straining? The boat is disobedient, what can I do" Although Xiao Yu has been supporting the bamboo pole on the opposite side, the raft has always been floating downstream, so that he has no way at all, so he can only exert more and more force towards the opposite shore.
The raft went diagonally towards the other side of the river, and when the bamboo pole was 20 or 30 meters from the shore, it could not touch the bottom of the river, Fang Xun put the bamboo pole on the raft, picked up the oar and handed it to Li Yushu.
"You go over there, I'll be here, work together to make the boat get to shore faster, otherwise the ship may not be going anywhere"
"Okay, let's do it together, I don't believe that we don't have the power of this current."
Saying that, the two began to row the oars hard, although the boat kept going downstream, but still slowly approached the opposite shore, which gave the two of them a lot of expectations, if they kept drifting downstream, maybe the two of them would have to find a way to swim back.
Just when the goal of the two was approaching, there were only more than 30 meters from the shore
"Knock"
There was only a soft sound, and something hit the raft, causing the raft to shake a little, and the unprepared two people almost fell headlong into the water.
"Something"
The startled two shouted in unison. Thanks to the fact that the strength is not very large, the two of them have to fall into the water to feed the king when they are older.
Li Yushu lowered the oars and was about to release the fireball.
"Stop, don't let off the fireball, there's no threat yet, let's talk about it when we get to the shore steadily. If you blow up the raft and we're going to have to swim to the other side."
Xiao Yu, who was watching, hurriedly stopped Li Yushu. If this fireball goes down, no matter what happens to that thing, the raft will definitely not be able to save it.
When Li Yushu heard this, he was right, he didn't quite believe in the quality of this raft, so he picked up the oars and rowed hard. The mouth is not forgiving
"You wait for the master, and when you don't kill Lao Tzu on the other side, you won't be surnamed Li."
After a while, there was another shaking on the raft, accompanied by a 'thud'. Hearing this, Xiao Yu and the others were terrified, this raft was not a regular product, and the things that the two of them made shoddy did not dare to guarantee that they would not fall apart under such an impact.
Hurriedly stabilized their figures, the two looked at each other, and rowed hard, this landlubber was in the water for the first time, and he had no bottom at all.
As time passed, the raft gradually approached the other side, and although every once in a while the two of them would be terrified by the sound of a 'bang', but the simple raft was very sturdy and did not fall apart. It is not in vain that Xiao Yu has strengthened the raft several times, if he listened to Li Yushu's rope and tied a few times, now both of them have to dig in the water.
There are still 3 or 4 meters from the shore. Xiao Yu picked up the rope tied to the raft, and when he got closer, he jumped off the raft in one step, his feet were steady, and he instantly felt a sense of security, just like the instinct of a land creature, and he was no longer afraid of the guy in the water.
At this time, Li Yushu also jumped down, and the two of them dragged the raft ashore with all their might, and tied the rope to a tree by the river. Only then did I look back at the surface of the river, and saw a black shadow about half a meter in the river, swimming slowly in the water. It is also 4 5 meters from the shore.
Xiao Yu gave Li Yushu a look, which means, it's up to you.
Li Yushu replied with a reassuring look, the meaning was very clear, 'small meaning'.
I saw Li Yushu stretch out his right hand, his hair began to flutter, and his face showed a solemn expression.
With a soft pop, a red fireball the size of an egg appeared in Li Yushu's right hand out of thin air, and it was expanding sharply, as if there was an unknown energy converging, and it was the size of a human head in an instant, and with a wave of the fireball in his right hand, it flew rapidly towards the black shadow in the river.
Although he had seen it a few times, and he had also lit a cigarette twice with the overflowing energy, Xiao Yu still felt very shocked when he saw this scene, and Xiao Yu also found that Li Yushu's fireball technique would not burn his clothes now, and he didn't know if it was because of the increase in control or the reason.
"Boom"
With a muffled sound, the fireball exploded in the river, causing a splash in the sky, drenching both of them on their heads and faces.
Xiao Yu glanced at Li Yushu dissatisfied, is this guy floating, I don't know how to remind him?
Silently took out a cigarette, decided to smoke a cigarette to suppress the shock, walked in front of Li Yushu, ignored Li Yushu's eyes, put the cigarette on Li Yushu's forehead and lit it, and took a beautiful puff before turning his head to look at the river.
At this time, the river surface has been unable to see anything other except some ripples, is gradually regaining this calm, a big fish is quietly floating on the surface of the river, 60 centimeters by eye, the body is slightly cylindrical, the head is slightly flattened, the tail is flattened.
"This guy is a grass carp, right? Is it the bamboo raft that this fish hits? I didn't expect such a big fish to have so much strength. ”
"Yes, it looks like a grass carp, let's get it up first, the world has changed, everything is different I heard that the strength of fish in the water is great"
After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he used a bamboo pole to pull the fish to the shore, looked quite fat, and said
"I ate him, and I was hungry after working for so long, and he was so scared that we two choked, so he ate him to take revenge."
"I thought you weren't hungry? I'm already hungry with my chest on my back. ”
Li Yushu was very happy when he heard him say to eat, he was hungry for a long time, but Xiao Yu was going to find someone, he was afraid of delaying time and was embarrassed to mention it, now that he heard Xiao Yu take the initiative to eat, how could he hesitate. But seeing the empty hands of the two, he said regretfully
"It's a pity that I didn't bring a pot, so I could only bake and eat it."
