20. Scratch and drift
June. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Southern Shaanxi.
Cui Jiadu.
Thick clouds covered several northwestern provinces, and the continuous rain caused the river to swell several times.
The boats that used to carry passengers were firmly tied to the riverside.
And those powerful boatmen were all standing beside them. However, there was no melancholy in their eyes, but they were full of excitement.
This is a small bay, and the turbulent river is blocked by the terrain, and it becomes extremely gentle.
"Iron Bull, float down a big vat!"
When there is a big flood, it is the day when the boatman makes money from the river.
They all have hooks in their hands, and if something is washed down, it is caught by the iron claws above it, and then dragged to the shore.
"Be careful, be careful!"
It was a large family's flower pot, and the weight was originally extremely heavy, and the drifting power in the river water became more and more powerful. If the technology doesn't come to home. At worst, the hook will be broken, and the worst will be dragged into the river.
No matter how good the boatman's water is, he can't stand the dark nest that swirls under the river. If you are not prepared, you will be sucked into the eyes of the river, and you will not be able to find the corpse.
"Hold it, drag it back! Slow down, don't sink it. ”
"Can't hook it, get on another pole!"
"Don't mess around, let it flow down the river!"
The iron bull is even, and he is the most trusted by the boatmen, and over time he becomes the leader.
At his command, the tank was slowly dragged to the shore.
The elated boatmen rushed over at once, but when they saw what was inside, everyone frowned.
"Damn, it's a little doll in there, and it's all soaked in the rain!"
There has been a severe drought in the northwest for many years.
In May, God finally opened his grace, and the rain rarely wet the ground.
While the people were rejoicing, they found that the rain could not be stopped. In just ten days, the entire Shaanxi was flooded everywhere, and I don't know how many people were destroyed.
Iron Bull sighed.
"It's also a hard-working person, let's take a hand and bury people!"
People who beg for a living on the water have long been accustomed to seeing corpses, and they do not feel afraid in their hearts.
"Looking at this dress, the family is not sad, it is estimated that the flood has not been completed."
"Poor, little kids. But death is also a blessing, who can afford to survive. ”
"That is, the food in the city is so expensive that it is better to go over than to starve half to death! Let's bury her corpse in the ground."
As he spoke, the child had been buried. Someone also took out a few sticks of grass from the boat and lit them and inserted them in front of the tomb.
However, many objects drifted down from the upper class, and the men forgot about it.
"Hook hook, another big log."
"Well, it can't run!"
"Pull back, hard!"
In these years, if others eat more, they will have to eat less. Everyone is struggling on a lifeline, and mercy is just too expensive.
Tie Niu glanced at the objects by the river, nodded with satisfaction, and roared loudly:
"It's afternoon, let's all rest! In the evening, let the mother-in-law cook a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, and if you are reluctant to spend that little money, don't come to us. Remember to bring hot water tomorrow, who dares to drink river water, Lao Tzu kicked him in! ”
Looking for food by the water can easily provoke evil spirits. The recent hot and cold weather has exacerbated the danger, so the boatmen give up in the afternoon.
After going home and burning your feet carefully, you wrapped yourself in a quilt and went to sleep.
If you have a mother-in-law in the family, you will do some things to pass on the lineage, and the next day you will still be a vigorous man.
However, after the Iron Bull group pulled things away, another group of people came out of the woods on the side.
Compared with the boat men, these people look ragged and unkempt.
"Phew!"
After the leader took a sip, he said loudly:
"Hurry up and get ready, it's still two hours before dark, we don't dare to delay."
Hearing this, the person next to him said indignantly:
"They are all people from the same realm, why let Tie Niu eat alone!"
"Well, others eat fish from the river, and we eat chaff. In terms of body and strength, is there such a opponent for them? ”
"Come on, others still have time for us, if we keep fishing until dark, what can you and I do?"
This is the territory of the boatmen, and the people around them have to beg them to cross the river, and this momentum is much weaker.
The boatmen, on the other hand, were more united, and the surrounding villages were no match for them. Therefore, the best time to fish for drifting goods was forcibly occupied by the boatmen.
But the grumbling soon ceased, as the farmers were busy salvaging. They don't pick and choose from the fat like the boatmen, and they go to the shore for anything.
"Quick, hold on to that board, don't let it go sideways."
"Hook the tail and bring it back."
"One more piece, you put it on first."
As the minutes ticked by, the gloomy sky soon darkened.
The man at the head felt that it was almost over, and shouted loudly:
"Stop it! The black lights are blind, don't let the water ghosts drag them into the river. The things are put in the threshing floor first, and at night Zhao is scarred, Fang San'er, you two are staring, and if there is something, you will strike the gong hard. ”
Although it was already summer, it was cold by the river. When everyone stopped, they felt trembling all over.
"Crackle!"
At this time, it was pouring rain in the sky, and it was only a few breaths, and everyone was soaked, even if they put on their clothes, it didn't have any effect.
"Go back, hurry!"
Looking at the lightning snaking in the sky, everyone's hearts rose to their throats. They pushed their wheelbarrows and ran wild on the dirt roads.
"Boom!"
A sound of thunder lingered in my ears. And the dazzling lightning left a white glow.
No one dares to complain, if you offend Grandpa Lei, you have to give an account for this life.
It wasn't until the cart was put back on the threshing floor that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The man at the head yelled again:
"It's scattered today, and if the weather is fine, let's send these items to the town again, and maybe we can make up a year's worth of chewing grain." Today, the wind and rain are strong, and the two brothers of the Donkey Dan family also followed the vigil. ”
When he had finished speaking, the crowd immediately dispersed.
The man at the head also rushed home, threw his wet clothes on the ground, and threw his whole body in front of the stove. There was still a little fire inside, and he grabbed a handful of leaves and threw them in, but smoke came out.
"Click!"
At this time, he was already shaking like a leaf in the autumn wind, as if the whole person would collapse in a few minutes!
"Gollum!"
At this time, there were bursts of chirping in his stomach, and a colic pain quickly made his body twist.
"Damn it!"
When he was fishing, he felt thirsty, so he drank some river water, which must have been a cold at that time.
"Ahh
He couldn't hold back any longer, jumped up and ran into the wind and rain, but a stream of heat sprayed out uncontrollably.
