Chapter 310: The River
I glanced at Jiang Huai with disdain, it turns out that there is still a normal one in this group, how to say this kind of thing is a little more realistic than the nonsense of ghosts hitting the wall.
Waiting for the person who spoke to finish speaking, I also said: "That's right, climb up, this difficulty is a little bigger, take the waterway, I think it's very reliable, let's go around in the forest, the barren mountains and mountains are okay, but here...... There is a way out that is also covered by the leaves, but the water is different, it has a flow direction, as long as we have an obvious reference floating on the water, where it flows, this is completely visible to the naked eye, even if there is a hidden waterway, then we may not be able to go around here all the time. ”
"Hmph...... Are you so sure that there must be nothing in the water? ”
Jiang Huai turned to look at the river at our feet, and when I thought he was going to set up a raft as I said, but when I heard him say this, I naturally still didn't understand, and looked at the tight rapids covered by vegetation with him.
"The water flowing to the west, not to mention other places, just in the country, how many have you seen, this river is as you said, it is an island that connects from end to end, there must be a way to go out, but it is definitely not as simple as you think, and the water in this kind of place is ......" Jiang Huai paused, I waited for him to speak, but I waited for a long time before I found that the other party was no longer looking at me.
"Try the head office, such shallow water, what can there be, if you are too lazy to look at it, I ......" At the end of the life, I suddenly reacted, this is not a brain, just sounding like it will make people think that I want to run away first, but this time I really want to get out of the trap first.
What I didn't expect was that when I thought the other party would refuse immediately, I saw Jiang Huai make a gesture of please, he pointed to the river under the slope of the slope with one hand, and there was no conspiracy on his face.
The mountain here is very steep, and it is difficult to grow so many plants on such a steep slope, but here, in addition to the shrubs, it is also overgrown with trees of several people tall, and I just happened to take the donkey down the slope, so as not to deliberately show abnormality in order to clear the suspicion.
Along the slope of low vines and straight tree trunks, I saw the river rushing and the sound of the water that had been surrounding the valley, but it was only at this position that I finally saw it for what it really was.
As soon as I saw the river that was jumping, I found that the earlier prediction was here, in fact, it didn't work at all, it was easy to find thigh-thick bamboo near the mountain road, and it was actually very simple to tie a raft that only needed him to float, but the water here didn't seem to be very willing to float any bamboo, the water was too turbulent, and there were at least two or three huge rock blades protruding from the river more than ten meters ahead, the river was not wide, and it was twisted like a writhing bug. It seems that my words are too full.
I followed the road and glanced at Jiang Huai, who was standing more than ten meters higher than me, Jiang Huai made a gesture of please again at an inopportune time, I went back with an embarrassed smile, gritted my teeth and stretched half a foot directly into the river. As a result, the strength of the river was really beyond my estimate, and when I stepped down, I was not carried into it by the rapids that churned over the white waves.
"No problem, it's just an extreme rafting game, it's still free, you guys come down, let's set up a row first." Supporting the river bank in the water, it's not enough to wash me away, but there is no place to fall, it will be carried away by the water, if you can set up a raft to stabilize the four of us, this road is not completely impossible to walk, the waterway down, I just don't know where the downstream will lead, but I think it's better than being trapped in a dry circle.
I have been very afraid of water since I was a child, but the most is those stagnant water without a source, the situation in the water is not clear, and I am often instilled with the water ghost to catch people as a stand-in, which makes me panic when I see the muddy bottomless pool, although the water in front of me is not a stagnant pool, but the water surface is turbulent, it is difficult for me to walk in the water with peace of mind, plus the weeds in the water are intricate, touch the bottom of the water and be disturbed by those aquatic plants, I feel that something has been touching my calf, itchy and dare not have a big movement.
They looked at me for a while, and they were also annoyed by my call, and a few people came down together, and listened to my command, and cut five large bamboo knots, going to the head and tail, leaving only more than six meters long in the middle, which is also the maximum space we can spread, they took off the rock rope that they only carried a section on their bodies, but fortunately, there were only five bamboos, which was enough to tie the ropes in the front and middle sections. Beanie boxes
"I'll just say, it's unreliable to go up the mountain, you can't even climb the canopy with such a little rope. Don't think about the others, just wasting time and consuming labor, no, it's not the same now, if the problem is explained, then it is estimated that we have already gone out. "I didn't listen to the old man when I said it, and I ridiculed them when I suffered in front of me.
But a few people also ignored me, fastened the rope by themselves, a few times to get it, not wide bamboo raft was put into the water, the four of us, the basic weight is about the same, but the small bamboo row still can not carry us all at a point, as a last resort, the four of us can only squat in the front and back of the row in four positions, so that the small bamboo row will not overturn, in case of a bend or a sharp stone there is a time to react.
I was placed at the back of the row, and because of the weight balance, I couldn't get too far forward because of the weight balance, but despite this, half of my foot was submerged in the water all the time.
We drifted in the turbulence, the direction of the matter did not need my effort, in the end, I only had to make sure that I did not fall into the water, almost without any new tricks in the river drifting for nearly two hours, straight support, sure enough, the direction of the river has really changed, the direction of the zigzag can not be confirmed at once, but I have been staring at the general direction but really found that the river from the original east to west direction, slowly changed into the current north to west.
It is indeed what Jiang Huai said, at least in the place where we are staying, there are really not many rivers to the west, in my memory, there are indeed so, it seems to be in Shandong. It's just that the terrain here is completely different from Shandong, and it is a mountainous area, and the river flows down the valley to a lower place, unless there is a lower depression in the valley, but now, the river channel has changed, and it is difficult to really respond to Jiang Huai's words, the river will really flow to the place where we go into the water, and converge into a circle, but how did I get in, this road is connected before and after, at least the road is built in the mountains, and it can be used to set up a barrier with the topography and vegetation, but the river, which I can't figure out, I have worked hard to build a circular river, To stop our way, the key is that until now, I don't know how I got in.
I couldn't figure it out, so I braved the loud sound of the water and asked Jiang Huai, who was more than a meter in front of me: "You said that Boss Huang comes here every year and brings so many people, what is it for?" Is it possible that the mountain goods can also be listed? ”
"There is gold in the mountains, and it has been decades since Boss Huang moved it, so you are so sure that he knows where he is looking for a long time. You tell me? ”
After Jiang Huai finished speaking, a more turbulent area appeared in front of us, the river was rushing down, and the height difference of the terrain was also visible to the naked eye, this is a small waterfall where the terrain difference is not too big.
I was expecting to hear him say something, but time was of the essence, and none of us had any intention of continuing to talk because of the sudden appearance of the concave ribbon. In the water, unlike the real road surface, it is difficult to just fall steadily on the surface of the water, and we finally fell down after a few times almost overturned by a bamboo raft into the water.
The bamboo raft floated forward for dozens of meters, but at this time I clearly felt that some changes had occurred in the water surface, the turbulent sound disappeared a lot in our ears, the row was unstable by the turbulence rushing from side to side, and the roller coaster-like experience disappeared in an instant a few seconds ago. Wiping the water from my eyes, I realized that the row under my feet was still half submerged in the water, but the difference was that the water surface became extremely gentle, we were half-squatting on the bamboo row, and there was no pressure from left and right, the row floated on the surface of the water, and kept floating slowly.
The water area is not much more open, the horizontal and vertical are unchanged, but I can see that the depth of the water has increased at least dozens of times, in front of me, I can't see the river shoreline, there are some plants that stick into the bottom of the water to absorb nutrients, from here, it is impossible to climb the previous mountain road, and whether this place is the one we passed before, it is no longer easy to estimate. At that time, walking on the mountain road, I didn't seem to have seen that section without the roar of the rapids.
"Are you telling the truth?" Jiang Huai muttered to himself in front of me, I squatted behind it to stabilize myself, but he was good, stood up directly, and stood on the already unstable bamboo row. I was behind, and the bamboo raft toppled left and right, almost falling into the blue water under my feet, and then Gou Yan sat firmly on the bamboo raft again.
I was so frightened by the danger of the road ahead that I was sweating all over, I don't know if it was sweat or river water, but now I can't find a place where it's still dry. Just as I raised my hand to wipe the sweat from my head, I suddenly felt a bitterness in my mouth. The sweat on my head has not waited for me to wipe it, and it has fallen into my mouth, but I feel it a few times on my tongue, and this taste is ...... I immediately reached into the water, picked up some of it, and put it in my mouth, and I spit it out.
Jiang Huai stood in front of me, the shadow was blocked, the color of the water gradually changed from blue to other colors, and the scene I saw when I raised my eyes made me almost forget that the river water had not been spit out in my mouth.
