Chapter 485: The Vast River

Let's draft it, and revise it tomorrow when I don't feel uncomfortable anymore.

Silly Niu has been looking at Zhou Hua not too happily, I know that it was not his own intention to help Zhou Hua, but he didn't want me to be affected, so I smiled at Silly Niu, "It's okay Brother Silly Niu, I'll help you." ”

Zhou Hua glanced at the stupid cow at this time, he should also know in his heart that the stupid cow didn't like him, and hurriedly said: "Don't bother the senior brother, let the Yellow River help me." As he spoke, Zhou Hua handed the crutch to Qiang Shun next to him, and put one arm around my neck. As he spoke, he put Zhou Hua's arm on his shoulder.

I was just about to say something, Chen Hui looked at us and said to the stupid cow: "Your junior brother's leg injury has not healed yet, you have to take good care of him." Chen Hui's implication was to help Zhou Hua cross the river with a stupid cow.

The stupid cow said "um" and nodded, I immediately swallowed back what I wanted to say, Zhou Hua heard Chen Hui say this, his face stiffened, and he smiled at the stupid cow, seemingly reluctant, "That, thank you, senior brother." ”

I immediately said, "Then I'll go up first and see if these stones are stable." "Saying that, I was the first to step on the stepping stone, stepped on it and tried it, it was okay, it was quite stable, and I turned around and greeted the stupid cow, "Brother stupid cow, you help Brother Zhou up, the stone is fine, it's very stable." ”

The stupid cow was just about to help Zhou Hua up, and Zhou Hua said to Chen Hui: "Master, you and Qiang Shun go up first, my legs are inconvenient to walk slowly, just walk behind." ”

When Chen Hui heard this, he said to the stupid cow again, "Take care of your junior brother." After speaking, Chen Hui stepped on the stepping stone for the second time, and Qiang Shun followed closely behind.

I was at the front, every time I stepped on a stone, I went to the interview, I felt okay, and then I took a step forward, and I was about to walk to the other side when I suddenly heard a dull sound of falling water behind me, and my heart suddenly jumped, and I looked back.

"Silly Cow Brother ——!"

I saw the stupid cow fall into the deep water on the right, the river was turbulent, the head of the stupid cow and the burden on the back, floated together in the water, the stupid cow could not swim, and was afraid of water, in the river was more auspicious, I immediately dropped off the burden on my body, jumped off the stepping stone, but when I jumped down, it was too late, the stupid cow had been washed out by the rapid river water for a long distance.

Said that it was too late and that was fast, it almost all happened in an instant, I swam up with the current towards him, but my water nature was limited, no matter how desperate I tried, I just couldn't catch up with the stupid cow in front, and the more I chased the distance between us, the farther we were pulled, and I didn't know how far to chase out, the stupid cow in front of me gradually sank to the bottom of the river, disappeared on the water, I screamed and cried in the river, "Brother Silly Cow, Brother Silly Cow......" while crying, while continuing to swim towards the place where the stupid cow sank.

In the distance behind him, Chen Hui's heart-rending shout came: "Yellow River, don't chase, don't chase, come up, don't chase......"

I don't know how I swam ashore, and when I stumbled onto the shore and couldn't get up, my heart was like being cooked in oil, and the excessive sadness and rapid movement hollowed me out.

I don't know how long it took, Chen Hui and Qiang Shun pulled me up from the ground, I looked at them, and asked them like stupid, "What about Brother Silly Niu?" ”

The two of them glanced at each other, their eyes were red, Chen Hui held back his grief and said, "Take care of yourself first, and then ......"

I looked at the rushing river in the distance, there was nothing but water, my heart twitched twice, and I couldn't help but cry out loud again at the river...... It's gone, Silly Brother Niu was washed away by the water......

When Chen Hui and Qiang Shun helped me back to the stepping stone, I saw Zhou Hua sitting on the shore at a glance, shook off Chen Hui Qiangshun, rushed towards Zhou Hua, and grabbed Zhou Hua's collar, "Say, how did my stupid brother fall into the water!" ”

Zhou Hua's face changed, "Yellow River, Yellow River, don't get excited, stupid Brother Niu stepped on the air by himself and fell by himself." ”

"You talk nonsense! He was holding you at the time, he fell, why didn't you fall! ”

Zhou Hua trembled and said: "Who, who said that I didn't fall, I also fell, look at me, aren't the clothes also wet." ”

At this time, Chen Hui hurriedly came over to persuade me, "The Yellow River, Zhou Hua also fell, but he hugged the stone under his feet, stupid cow ......, "I know, Chen Hui is not much better than me."

Chen Hui patted me lightly on the shoulder, I slowly let go of Zhou Hua and glanced at him, "Dao Chief, no matter what, we have to find Brother Silly Niu......"

A few people packed their luggage and went downstream to find this river, this river is formed by the convergence of several small rivers, the further downstream the river is wider, and finally Chen Hui discussed with us, the river is too wide, four must be found separately, two people are on the south bank of the river, two people are on the north bank of the river, if they are all looking for one side, in case the stupid cow is on the other side of the river, it will be wrong.

At this time, we actually didn't have much hope for the life of the stupid cow, and just wanted to find his body and find a place to bury it.

So, the four of them separated, originally I planned to be with Zhou Hua, let Chen Hui and Qiang Shun together, but, Zhou Hua seemed to be a little afraid of me at this time, I had to be with Chen Hui, Chen Hui was also afraid that the two of us would have some conflicts with Zhou Hua, and finally, Qiang Shun and I were looking for the north bank of the river, Chen Hui took Zhou Hua to find the south bank of the river, and the two sides agreed that as long as they saw the bridge on the river, they would walk to the middle of the bridge and wait for each other, until the two sides met on the bridge, talk about the search process, and then sum up the next plan.

I have been looking for two days along the river, the vast river is endless, where is the shadow of Brother Silly Niu, Qiang Shun told me, is it Brother Silly Niu who sank into the water and did not float up. I looked at him and said that sooner or later it would float up, just follow the river to find ......

On the third day, a bridge appeared on the river, and we waited in the middle of the bridge for most of the day, and then waited for Chen Hui and Zhou Hua, and the four of them looked at each other and shook their heads, all of which found nothing.

Chen Hui's meaning, don't look for it anymore, since the bronze medal was broken, there have been so many things, it's better to go home early. I was unwilling to go down the river to find it again. The four separated again, looked for two more days, and met again in the middle of a bridge, but still found nothing.

Chen Hui persuaded me, you and Qiang Shun hurry home, maybe the stupid cow is not dead, it was washed to the shore by the water, or it was rescued, and when you go home, I will come back and continue to look for it, and when I find it, I will give you a letter.

I know that Chen Hui is comforting us at this time, the stupid cow is gone, he doesn't want anything to happen to the two of us, and wants us to go home as soon as possible. At this time, Qiangshun didn't want to look for it anymore, because for the past few days, we have been walking along the river, there is no village by the river, there is almost nothing to eat, and if we continue like this, we will die of hunger if we are not tired to death.

I let out a long sigh, don't look for it, go home, silly brother niu, it's not that I don't want to look for you, but this river is too big, like looking for a needle in a haystack, the more I look for it, the more chilling it is, what I'm more afraid of is seeing your corpse, I'd rather believe that you're not dead, I'd rather believe that you will suddenly appear in front of me with a smirk one day......

After a few days of painful struggle, we finally set foot on the way back to the north, and more than ten days later, we came to the town with a railway station, but now our gold bars are gone, and we are left with bracelets and gold hairpins in the baggage, which are even more scarce.

It seemed that there were people coming and going in the station, and I shook my head at Chen Hui, "Dao Chief, let's not take the train home, let's go back." ”

Chen Hui asked me why, and I smiled at him, "Silly Brother Niu won't buy a ticket himself, if we take the train, he won't be able to catch up with us......"

Zhou Hua's legs are very strange, he has not been good, he has walked for more than half a month, and he has only just entered Hunan from Guizhou, at this time, the time has come to the end of October of the lunar calendar, the weather is getting cooler, and the fruits on the trees are gone. However, this place still belongs to the south, it is not too cold, we only wear sweaters, sweaters and jackets, but there are many mountains and forests here, and it is difficult to see a village for a long time.

On this day, there were several houses in a ravine, all of which were stone-walled houses, and there was not even a yard, and we did not expect that there were people living in this kind of place, and it was almost noon, and a few people were tired and hungry, so they took a bowl and went to a few people's houses to ask for food, and several families saw that we wanted to eat, and they were very novel, because no one had ever come to them to ask for food.

Several families are not bad, they are all simple mountain people, living by the terraces around the house, although their families are not rich, but they gave us a lot of food, we asked them about the path, they said, want to get out of the mountain only one path, after going out of the path, you can see a big mountain, around the mountain, is a town, some of their daily necessities, is to use grain to the town in exchange.

Along the path, a few people left the ravine, but before we could get out of the ravine, we found rows of mounds on the terraces on both sides, and each mound was very large, and there were countless mounds, Chen Hui said, it seemed to be a cemetery.

Qiang Shun looked at the mounds and immediately grabbed one of my arms, "The Yellow River, the yin here is so heavy, it seeps people in broad daylight." ”

I looked back at almost everyone and said, "Why do they live here?" ”

At this moment, Qiang Shun pinched my arm, "Yellow River, there is a little ghost in the cemetery." ”

"Where?" I looked in the direction that Qiangshun was looking, and saw a dirty little guy in the cemetery, and my heart jumped.

Chen Hui said: "It's not a fuss, it's just a child. As he spoke, he also looked back at the families behind him, "Maybe it's the children of those families, go, go over and ask, it's not safe for a child to be in the cemetery, we'd better send him back." ”
