Chapter 395: On the River Beach
After floating in the water for a while, I saw the squinting head, he had jumped a little farther than me, and it would be close to the middle of the rapids, and under the impact of the strong current, even if he was full of strength, he could only let his body move quickly in the water.
In the rapids, the most dangerous thing is not only drowning, the water flows too fast, there are too many bubbles in the water, those things are not buoyant, and they sink when they go in.
It's more important to guard against what's in the water, like if you're driving a car on the street with no brakes.
You can't see the underwater situation in the rapids, and you can't avoid it, so it's easy to lose your strength in an instant because you hit a raised rock that you are sleeping on.
Not long after I got into the water, I hit a raised rock under the water, and I felt like my guts were shattering when I was pushed by the huge current.
Brother Jie seemed to hear my movement from a distance, and raised his head with difficulty and shouted, "Is Madame okay?" ”
How could it be good! After scolding, I waved my hand and almost gritted my teeth and fluttered on the water, and I could barely speak from the pain of the impact.
In this way, the two of us floated one after the other for a while, and the things in my bag had been taken out of some of the things that were not used before, except for two bottles of water, there was nothing too heavy in it, which would barely float in the rapids, which gave me some support and help.
Brother Jie obviously didn't have my good luck, and the backpack was not heavy at first glance, which would obviously drag him enough in the water, but fortunately, the water was good enough, but it was much more optimistic than my situation.
After the dull pain of the impact on my stomach subsided, I opened my voice and asked loudly to Brother Jie in front of me, "Brother Jie!" What to do! We can't keep drifting like this! ”
According to my previous experience, in such a fast rapid, it is almost impossible to climb ashore on our own without help, not to mention that there are cliffs several meters high on both sides, and even if it is flat, it is very difficult for us to get over.
Brother Jie didn't answer my words for a long time, and after a while, I slapped the water a few times, raised my body to see if he was hit by a stone, but as soon as I raised my head, I heard the answer: "According to this terrain, there should be a river beach not far ahead, and the current there should be relatively gentle, so I can climb up by myself when the time comes." ”
I don't know how Brother Jie deduced the terrain behind, but I'm still very glad he didn't give me a sentence, waiting for someone to save us in the water is tantamount to joking with Lord Yama, except for death, or death.
Sure enough, when we had drifted out for about ten minutes, the situation on both sides suddenly brightened, and it was no longer a cliff close to each other, but a large river beach.
The water slowed down noticeably as the water level was dispersed so quickly that I could feel my feet touching the bottom of the water during the ups and downs.
Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and Brother Jie in front of him had already begun to adjust his body and swam towards the river bank.
I quickly did so, moving slowly in the direction of the current in the direction of the diagonal front, so as to ensure that I would not walk directly towards the shore and be swept down by the current.
The terrain of this generation, at this glance, is more similar to the deep mountain where we were with Suotian before, and that time I accidentally fell into the river, and it was also like this that I encountered a river beach, which can be regarded as saving my life and Suotian's life.
It took a lot of work, and by the time the two of us climbed up the river, we were almost collapsed.
Lying on the rocks by the river, I gasped for breath twice and wiped the water on my face, only to realize that Brother Jie had stood up and started to search for dry wood around him.
When he ran to a dead tree and scraped the bark, I shuddered and remembered that it was so cold now, and we were both wearing wet clothes, and we had to freeze for a while.
I just fell into the river, and my mind was full of fear and fear, how could I notice the problem of the river.
I took off my wet boots and socks and laid them out on the stones, which were relatively empty and the sun could still shine down.
It's about six o'clock now, and it's naturally impossible to count on that little sunset to dry your clothes, and looking at Brother Jie's meaning, he should be planning to spend the night on the bank of this river tonight.
Getting up and stepping on the stone, I went to carry the branch that Brother Jie had left aside to a dry place, and then turned around and took out the biscuits from my backpack.
It's wet, and it's impossible for us to drink cold water in such weather.
Brother Jie brought back a large pile of firewood, lit the fire, and took out a square iron box from his backpack, which I didn't know what it was used for, but it was very good to use it to boil water.
It was getting dark, and the two of us took off our coats and dried them with branches, although Brother Jie was more obscene, and he had done it to stuff me with contact information, but in fact he was very conservative, and he was very far away from me when he sat in front of the fire.
If I hadn't forced him to do it just now, he wouldn't even be willing to take off his coat.
After eating something, I didn't feel the slightest sleep, and just stared at the river with my head propped up.
Brother Jie stared around very cautiously, if it weren't for the fear of freezing to death, I believe he wouldn't even light a fire in order to prevent people's eyes.
In fact, I was also a little worried about whether those people would catch up with them, but then I thought about it, I was in the valley before, fell into the rapids, and was washed out of the two mountains in the time of the meeting, and I drifted for so long today, maybe I was already far away from those people, even if I chased them, it would definitely take a day and a night, so as not to delay our rest for the night.
There was silence like this, I thought that Brother Jie was not going to speak, but who knew that after he patrolled around at nightfall, he slowly spoke when he sat down in front of the fire again: "Madam, would you mind talking to me for a few words?" ”
I didn't expect him to speak, I was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly waved my hand: "What do you mind or not, you just say it." ”
He didn't rush to speak directly, first pondered for a while, and then looked at me: "Madam... When did you meet the owner? ”
I thought for a while: "It's been more than two years, ten months pregnant, and the baby is nearly eight months old, well, it should be two or three years." ”
"That is, when the virus first spread?"
"Yes." I nodded: "About four or five days after that, I met him by accident, and Suotian saved me." ”
His expression flashed with a slight surprise: "The master saved you?" ”
"That's right." I nodded, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nope." Brother Jie shook his head: "Before being in charge, I rarely cared about this kind of nosy. ”
After finishing speaking, he seemed to suddenly notice that his words were not appropriate, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean to despise you. ”
Haha laughed twice and I spoke: "I understand what you mean, when I first met Suotian, he was indeed that kind of person."
"And what kind of person do you think is in charge now?"
I was stunned: "This... Actually, I can't really say it, but one thing is that he is indeed a good husband and a good father. ”
After listening to my answer, Brother Jie smiled rarely, and then spoke: "It's really the first time I've heard someone comment on the master like this." ”
I laughed: "If someone tells you that Suotian is a good husband and father, remember to tell me, I have to find that little vixen." ”
Hearing this, Brother Jie laughed again, and when Brother Jie smiled, the lewd look on his face immediately became less.
After thinking for a while, I asked, "Why did you suddenly think of talking to me about this?" ”
Put away your smile: "From the time I saw you, I was surprised, all the soldiers under special training in our C team and even in the headquarters did not expect that the head of the family would find a woman to marry and even have children." ”
I didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.
"Before you appeared, our mission was to keep shuttling between such mountains and mountains, we were not known to the world, to complete tasks that ordinary people could hardly complete, and the head of the house took us, at that time, he... In the eyes, there are only two things, accept the task, complete the task. He doesn't care how much our brother loses, we are all trained by him, but we don't seem to have the slightest emotion, to be honest... At that time, although I was obedient to the master, I was more numb. ”
I nodded, "And then." ”
"And..."Brother Jie seemed to be distracted: "In the last two years of the mission, although the head of the family has been as unsmiling, not talking much, and very strict as before, but after the loss of his brother, his reaction is obviously different from before. Last time in the mountains, I was besieged in mid-air by walking corpses, and the head of the family asked everyone else to evacuate, leaving me to risk saving me. In this way, it is probably a bit hypocritical, but the grace of dripping water, the spring is repaid, and the master reaches out to save me, so my old man has to keep this life no matter what, and protect the master to the end! ”
Then, Brother Jie seemed to have opened the floodgates of talking, and kept chattering about all kinds of trivial matters in the mission of locking the sky.
Finally, when I asked when Sukten had started leading Team C, he was abruptly silenced, and then there was silence all night, as if to avoid my questions.
The next morning, the clothes had been dried, and after putting them on, Brother Jie ran to an unknown corner to go to the convenience.
I ran to the river to get some water to warm up and wash my face, but I just drove the iron box to the fire, ready to go to the river to see if I could catch a fish or something to add to my meal.
As soon as I walked to the river, I heard a bang, followed by the sound of an iron box falling to the ground, and someone kicked my face wash away!!
Before I could scold in a hurry, I was stunned... This unique way of playing....
