The nights in the forest are undoubtedly long, and cutting down trees is just the right time to pass the time. After Qu Xiaobai waited for Luoluo to finish cleaning up, he handed An An to her, and he took out the booklet and wrote and drew by the firelight.

Dong Lang had nothing to do, so he went to fiddle with his medicine.

About an hour later, Luoluo suddenly said, "Madam, don't you think the sky seems to be cloudy?" ”

Qu Xiaobai raised his eyes and looked at the sky, only to see that it was dark and dark, and those few sparse stars didn't know when they disappeared, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Oops! If it rains, we'll be done! Dong Lang, you hurry up and pack your things, and I'll go find Ah Wu and Ah Liu. ”

Qu Xiaobai neatly turned out a bundle of ropes, carried it on his shoulder, and carried a lamp in his other hand, hurriedly got on his horse, and ran towards the direction of the river.

Dong Lang looked at An An who was being held by Luoluo, and was very annoyed in his heart, he had no choice but to weld to death here to protect An An. Luoluo took care of An An, he was busy packing things, trying to pack everything he could bring into Qu Xiaobai's special waterproof backpack.

Qu Xiaobai galloped all the way, the road was walked in the evening, and Ah Wu Ah Liu walked back and forth twice, it was already very easy to identify, she quickly arrived at the place where Ah Wu Ah Liu cut down the tree, and the two of them were still surprised: "Little housewife? What are you doing here? We're done chopping and we're going back. ”

Qu Xiaobai's expression was nervous and serious: "You look up at the sky." ”

It's okay that the two of them didn't look at it, but when they saw it, they both burst into a foul language, ", it's cloudy!" ”

Ah Wu said: "Little master, what do you mean?" ”

Qu Xiaobai said succinctly: "Hurry up and set up a raft, cross the river overnight, and leave the range of this river before it rains." ”

Ah Wu still has a trace of luck: "What if it doesn't rain too much?" ”

Qu Xiaobai shook his head: "I can't afford to gamble, let's act quickly." ”

She unloaded the large bundle of rope from her shoulders, bent down to drag the logs on the ground, and urged, "Quick, this rain will start at any time." ”

She dragged the wood and said: "I have seen the topographic map here, this side belongs to the middle reaches of the river, the terrain is high in the east and low in the west, if it rains heavily, the water flow will be accelerated, the water level will rise, and maybe it will flood both sides, after all, the river here has not been repaired for thousands of years." ”

Ah Wu and Ah Liu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to carry the wood, Ah Wu said: "Little master, you are just getting better, you can't do such heavy work, let us come, you can prepare the rope first." ”

"At this time, life or body matter? Stop talking nonsense. ”

Qu Xiaobai dragged a piece of wood to the flat place, wiped a handful of sweat beads on his forehead, Ah Wu Ah Liu had already carried five or six logs, Qu Xiaobai opened the rope, and did it while searching for the tutorial of tying a raft in his mind.

The two of them carried a few logs over, Ah Liu saw that the wood was almost there, so he also joined the queue to tie the raft, he looked at Qu Xiaobai's movements, and couldn't help laughing: "The little master is skilled, but the strength is not good." I'll leave it to our brothers here, you go to Dong Lang and move all your things over. ”

"Good. Hurry up. ”

Qu Xiaobai turned over and went straight to the resting place, Dong Lang had already packed all his things, Qu Xiaobai shouted: "I have already started to build the raft, Dong Lang, hurry up." ”

An An over there didn't know how to cry, Qu Xiaobai couldn't care much, took An An over, put it on his chest, tightened his harness, got on the horse again, and urged Luoluo: "Hurry up." ”

Luoluo already had some kung fu, not a waste, so he turned over and got on the horse neatly, drove the horse team with Dong Lang, and hurried to the river.

When he joined Ah Wu and Ah Liu, the raft was already half set, Dong Lang helped, and even Luoluo was busy.

A quarter of an hour later, the last rope was tied, the raft was finished, Qu Xiaobai looked up at the sky, it was still dark, a drop of rain fell, smashed on the face, cold, she urged: "Everyone quickly unload the things onto the raft, put on the horse, and pull them into the water." ”

Ah Wu went to set up the horse, Ah Liu and Dong Lang unloaded things, Luo Luo also helped to sort things out, loaded and unloaded the equipment as quickly as possible, and everyone followed together to the depths of the water.

Pulling the raft to a thigh-deep place, Ah Wu and Ah Liu cut off the reins, propped up the penny, and rowed towards the opposite shore with all their might.

The rain fell tightly at this time, Luoluo found a poncho and put it on Qu Xiaobai, this poncho is actually a rainproof material found by Qu Xiaobai, and the female workers in the garment workshop sewed it, although it can't be completely rainproof, but it is more effective than a cloth and an umbrella. An An was locked in a poncho, but she was safe.

Everyone changed the poncho, the raft moved quickly in the rain, the lantern could only shine a distance of one zhang, only to see the rain on the river, and the penny draft supporting the raft was about one zhang smaller.

One zhang is three meters, and this water level is considered very deep.

The rain became more and more rapid, and the water upstream began to gather at this time, and the current was obviously turbulent, but fortunately, the load on the raft was okay, and the raft did not let the raft drift with the current.

But the pace of progress was noticeably slowed down.

Qu Xiaobai was so anxious that he wanted to help, but he was still burdened with An An, and for An An's safety, he could only watch silently.

Suddenly, Luoluo suddenly shouted, "Madam, what do you think it is?" ”

Qu Xiaobai picked up the lantern and looked at Luoluo's fingers, only to see a huge white creature floating on the river, I couldn't see what it was, I saw that it was the size of two or three houses, swimming against the current, the speed of swimming was not fast, but it was about to approach the raft soon, Qu Xiaobai hurriedly urged: "Hurry up!" Don't get bumped into it! ”

The three young men were struggling to support the raft, Luoluo saw the behemoth getting closer and closer to the raft, and it was too late to be afraid, so he hurriedly drew the long sword from his waist, jumped up, and plunged the sword straight into the behemoth's head, and the long sword struck the behemoth's body, like hitting a stone, making a dull sound, but it did not hurt the behemoth at all, but angered it, it jumped up from the water, and lifted Luoluo into the air.

Qu Xiaobai shouted quickly: "Luoluo be careful! As he spoke, he was about to jump up to save Luoluo, Dong Lang jumped over and held her down, "I'll come!" ”

The figure flashed, he hurriedly verticalized the water, before Luoluo fell into the water, his arms caught her steadily, his toes were a little on the behemoth's body, he jumped with strength, and flew back to the raft, the raft was pressed by the weight of the two, and shook, the behemoth spun around in the water, stirring up a turbulent whirlpool, and the raft was also stirred in it, Ah Wu and Ah Liu hurriedly used their internal strength to stabilize the raft.

"Quick! It's back! ”

Qu Xiaobai shouted quickly.

On the black water, the white behemoth rolled towards the raft, which was not small, but compared to it, it became a small one. Milk Candy stood beside Qu Xiaobai and roared at the behemoth.

Qu Xiaobai was afraid that the toffee would not be able to hold it, and he was going to fight with the big man in the water again, so he was busy stabilizing it, and said in a deep voice: "Toffee, don't move." Ah Wu Ah Liu, hurry up, don't fight with it! ”

The rain became more and more urgent, the sound of rain was all around, and the sound of talking was mixed in it, which could barely be heard, Ah Wu and Ah Liu tried their best to prop forward, Dong Lang drew his sword and came out, guarding against the behemoth rushing over, Qu Xiaobai was in a hurry, held the gun in his hand, and with the faint light of the lantern, aimed at a little blue light on the head of the thing, and shot decisively.

She decided that the blue light should be its eyes, Luoluo had tried it just now, its body was as hard as iron, even if a bullet could penetrate, it might not be able to hurt its vital point, this eye was different, no matter what kind of creature it was, the eye was a weak point.

A shot passed, hitting that little bit of blue light.

Qu Xiaobai judged well, it was indeed the eyes of the behemoth, the bullet penetrated the eye, and the behemoth rolled in the water in pain, Ah Wu Ah Liu took advantage of this opportunity to row out the raft and throw off the behemoth, Dong Lang was also busy picking up the penny and struggling to prop up the raft and leave.

Luoluo was frightened, sat on the raft, panted, and said, "Big python, big spider, big monster, madam, how can the things in this primeval forest be so big!" ”

Qu Xiaobai raised his voice while checking whether An An in his arms was frightened: "This is a place that is out of reach, and the environment is very suitable for the growth of these things, and it is not surprising that they grow big." ”

The raft has been rowing forward, the water level finally slowly became shallower again, but the rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier, after the raft passed in the center of the river, the water level suddenly soared, the water flow was turbulent like a whale swallowing the momentum, everyone listened to the rumbling sound of the water, secretly said that it was dangerous, just a little bit, it was about to be swallowed by the water potential, let you have great ability, to escape from the natural disaster, it is also delusional.

Several people did not dare to relax, and paddled the raft to the shallow water before stopping. Several people packed up the supplies on the raft, carried them on their backs, and were about to get off the raft and wade ashore. What is it! ”

Qu Xiaobai sighed in his heart, and hurriedly took a lantern to shine on the shallow water, this photo, he couldn't help but be startled, and on the shallow water beach between them, everywhere he looked, was full of crocodiles.

Several heads were all surrounded, and Ah Liu frowned: "What kind of monster is this?" ”

"Crocodile." Qu Xiaobai gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice.

"What kind of fish is a crocodile?" Ah Wu asked.

Dong Lang replied: "I've seen it in ancient books, this kind of thing has very powerful teeth, it can tear its prey to pieces and eat meat. Aren't they supposed to grow in the south, though? ”

Qu Xiaobai took a deep breath and said, "Who can say this thing." If the light is dark, run quickly. It's time to show off your skills. Dong Lang, you take Luoluo, Ah Wu Ah Liu, I will ask you. Qu Xiaobai touched the snow wolf's head and instructed it: "Milk candy, don't be ruthless, our task is to escape." ”
