Chapter 64: A Thrilling River Crossing
At this time, the sky was not yet completely bright, and my heart tightened, and I saw the captain of the boat rocking the boat towards me.
On the wide river, a kerosene lamp lit alone.
The surface of the water also reflects a picture, and the picture in the water looks a little weird.
I thought to myself, this boat boss is really abnormal, at this point, he didn't go back to sleep, rocking the boat here, obviously waiting for me. The captain of the boat stopped at a distance of three or four meters from me, and we looked at each other, and the captain stared at me, with a treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth.
I took Qi Yao's hand and didn't let go, I opened my mouth and said to the boat boss, "What are you doing here?" "
The boat boss said to me, "Little brother, of course I'm here to take you across the river." "
"Take me across the river? I don't need you to take me across the river, I can cross it myself. "
The captain of the boat still stared at me, his eyes were a little sharp, which invisibly added a bit of oppression to the night.
I held my breath. The weasel would whisper to me beside me, "Engong, time is running out, we need to cross the river quickly." "
I also suppressed my voice and said, "Do you have a way?" "
The weasel opened his mouth and said, "Engong, I have a way. "
My conversation with the weasel seemed to be overheard by the ship's boss. The boat boss opened his mouth and said, "You don't think about crossing the river alone, this river goes up and down, there is no bridge to cross the river, and if you don't take my boat, the river is turbulent." "
I looked at the river and thought to myself that the boss of this boat is really talking nonsense with his eyes open, this river is clearly calm, where is the turbulence?
Are you trying to bluff me?
At this time, the second rooster crow sounded again, and I knew that I couldn't delay it any longer, and if I dragged it any longer, I really wouldn't be able to cross the river. Without hesitation, I said to the weasel, "Help us cross the river." "
The weasel didn't hesitate for a moment, and turned around and let out a strange howl.
After this strange sound fell, I saw a sudden commotion in the grass by the river, and it was windless and automatic, which looked very strange, and then I saw a dense mass of weasels, not to mention hundreds.
When these weasels appeared, they came to the adult weasels and began to behave.
The weasel said directly: "Hurry up and build a bridge to help Engong cross the river." "
When these little weasels heard this, they quickly jumped into the river, and thousands of weasels jumped down. Soon the end to end was connected, and I was dumbfounded, and in less than five minutes, a bridge made of weasels was built.
Qi Yao was also very surprised, but the boat boss saw it in his eyes, but he didn't look half surprised, and he wasn't frightened, seeing the boat boss's calm appearance, I knew that he was not simple.
"Engong, the bridge has been built, please cross the river quickly."
I said thank you to the weasel.
Then he took Qi Yao's hand, stepped on the bridge built by the weasel, and walked forward. It's just that Qi Yao and I just stepped on it, and the originally calm water suddenly became a little more turbulent, the water waves were wave after wave, and the bridge built by the rushing weasel kept shaking.
Qi Yao's and I bodies were also quickly shaken and unstable.
I said to Qi Yao, "Let's run over." "
Qi Yao answered, and we sped up and ran towards the opposite side, but as soon as we started, a bigger wave formed, colliding with us.
I quickly shouted, "Get down." "
Qi Yao and I lay down at the same time.
We were holding the weasel tightly, and we were only halfway there.
The humanoid weasel shouted behind him, "Engong, you have to hurry, it's almost dawn." "
I looked up. Sure enough, seeing the sky above, the light became more and more obvious, the sky was really about to brighten, if the old way caught up, Qi Yao and I really couldn't run away, the old way gave people the feeling that it was unpredictable, and when he turned around, he knew that the breath was taken away by me, and he had to kill me.
I turned my head to look at the boat boss at this time, no matter how the wind and waves are strong, the boat boss is still as steady as Mount Tai, seeing this, I know how the wind and waves came from.
I was drenched at this point, and as soon as I opened my mouth, I yelled at the ship's boss, "Why do you want to embarrass me? We have no grievances, why did you stop me from crossing the river? "
The boat boss let out a sneer and said, "Little brother, you have misunderstood me, I haven't done anything at all, why are you slandering me." "
His tone was contemptuous, and he knew by listening to his voice that all this had nothing to do with him.
I said to Qi Yao, "Let's crawl over." "
We began to move forward, and I knew that if we didn't move now, I was afraid that the weasel bridge would not last long. We slowly walked towards the front, but the waves became bigger and bigger, and with each collision, the weasel swayed so much that Qi Yao and I couldn't stabilize it at all.
Time flies. The situation is also becoming more and more critical, because a touch of fish belly has emerged from the sky.
Seeing this light, my heart was half cold for a moment, and I said to Qi Yao, "We may not be able to run away." "
Qi Yao's face was pale at this time, and her hair was wet and unsightly.
