Chapter Twenty-One: Dragon's Back
"Woo......"
The ship's whistle sounded, and the cruise ship deviated from the center of the river, grazing the green dragon under the water and driving upstream. This section of the waterway is divided in two, narrower and narrower, and when you look down, you can see the huge waves rolling in and out of the water, and the sound is terrifying.
Due to the rapid current, the engine of the Phoenix cruise ship has been turned to the bottom, and the motor roars deafeningly, but the speed of the forward is still as slow as a turtle crawling.
Their box was on the left side of the cruise ship, and when they poked their heads out, the green dragon was just a few meters below, as if it was going upriver in the same direction as the cruise ship. On both sides of the bank is a cliff canyon hundreds of meters high, and the top is shrouded in clouds and mist, like a cage of heaven and earth, trapping the dragon in the water.
Ding Xiaocong only then understood why this thing was called the Green Dragon Zhu, looking through the water surface, the dragon made of cyan rocks was mottled, as if it had a dense layer of scales, vivid, this primeval beast has gone through thousands of years, and it seems that it can still break through the water at any time.
Ding Xiaocong saw that his heart trembled, and he asked tremblingly: "Uncle Hua, were you afraid when you took a boat here?" ”
That's how he balanced, and he felt that his performance was a bit weak.
Hua Hongying's face was also pale, and she lowered her mouth, "I was going down the river back then, and it didn't take long for me to pass, and I didn't have time to see the green dragon under the water, this time I was going upstream, to be honest, I was also a little scared of ......."
Regardless of whether this was true or not, Ding Xiaocong immediately felt much more comfortable.
The sound of the water became louder and louder, and the huge hull of the ship began to sway violently, and the group gathered in front of the window and fell silent. Looking down, the hull of the ship was only a few meters away from the closest to the green dragon, and it seemed that it could collide at any time, which was thrilling.
"Shouldn't this be ......" Ding Xiaocong was about to express his worries, when a familiar shout came from outside, it was the Sichuan girl's waitress.
"Close the door, grab something, don't move around...... Ah! Shouting and shouting, Ding Xiaocong's door was slammed open, and the waitress stumbled in. It is estimated that she was reminding passengers to pay attention to safety, but who expected that a big wave came head-on, and the hull of the ship shook suddenly, throwing her in.
The waitress stumbled all the way to the side of the bed, grabbed the column to stabilize her figure, looked back at the wide open door, his face cried, "Unlucky, then Ha'er has to pay for the lock......"
Her words had a strong Sichuan flavor, coupled with a depressed expression, which made people laugh.
The hull of the ship swayed more and more violently, and the person could no longer stand at all, Ding Xiaocong asked worriedly: "This is too thrilling, shouldn't there be an accident......?"
"What kind of personal feelings?" The waitress glanced at Ding Xiaocong, "Then I've been going back and forth in a hurry, and I've never had any personal feelings, and I'm talking to you, and I have some intender words on the boat!" ”
Regarding the taboos on the ship, Ding Xiaocong still knows something, and he can't say anything about it: words such as sinking and turning can't even be homophonic. For example, when eating on the ship, you can't say that you have to eat rice, you have to say that you have to add rice, and now these rules are not so particular, if you dare to say these words on the boat in the early years, the boss of the ship will really throw you off the boat to feed the king.
The vibration was getting louder and louder, and the waitress was unable to leave, so she had to sit on the bed first and wait for the boat to pass through Qinglongzhu. After passing here, the river will gradually widen and the current will become gentle.
At this moment, suddenly, the whistle on the ship was loud, and the people were numb, and the female voice on the radio shouted in a pitch-changing voice: "The ship in front of you is out of the way, get out of the way!" Get out of the way! ”
The five people in the cabin were taken aback, and hurriedly leaned over the porthole to look forward, and suddenly their faces were blank with fright. I saw that in front of the bow of the Phoenix, a slender wooden boat was going down the rapids, and the men on the boat were desperately pulling the boat, but the current was too fast, and the bow couldn't pull it, and it crashed straight into the steel hull of the Phoenix.
"Oops!" The waitress turned pale in an instant and exclaimed.
If this collides, the small wooden boat on the opposite side will definitely break the bones of people and boats!
Not only this box, but the ship erupted into a loud exclamation at this time, and the tragedy was about to happen in front of you!
At the last moment, the bow of the Phoenix suddenly deflected towards the center of the river, and due to the rapid turn, under the push of the fierce current, the steel hull made a "squeak" sound that made people's teeth sore, as if the keel had been overwhelmed. Looking at the small boat again, the bow of the boat was slightly deflected to the shore due to the desperate efforts of the boat boss. At the last moment when the two boats were about to collide, they finally deviated from each other and staggered past.
The boat was still screaming, and from Ding Xiaocong's point of view, the small wooden boat could no longer be seen, but they saw a more terrifying scene.
The forced turn of the big ship in the rapids just now must have been a knee-jerk move by the helmsman, and if he was asked to do it all over again, he would probably rather crash into it.
The speed of the river is terrifyingly fast, and it is extremely difficult for the big ship to turn in the water, and once it is turned, it is not so simple to get back to the right.
The most important thing is that there is still a giant dragon in Jiang's heart!
In an instant, before the exclamations of the people could reach their throats, there was a deafening crash of the ship, and everyone was thrown up, and garbage was scattered all over the ground. Only Jiang Bai was in the air at the moment of the collision, his body rose in the air, hung upside down reflexively, kicked on the ceiling, and after the shock passed, he landed steadily and pulled Ding Xiaocong up.
As soon as Ding Xiaocong stood up, he didn't care about wiping his broken nose, and quickly pulled up Guo Yunxiang again. Several people dragged one by one, and after they all stood up, they all looked at it again, and they were already injured.
Guo Yunxiang's eyebrow bone was broken, and the blood flowed for a long time, and before she could wipe it, several people were together again, crookedly and staggered to the east, all of them huddled against the wall.
Looking out through the porthole, a thrilling scene unfolded in front of me, the Phoenix hit the Qinglong Zhu headlong, actually rode up, and rushed forward by inertia, the Qinglong Jiangzhu became a seesaw, and the bow of the ship was higher and higher, and it had been lifted off the water.
Squeak squeak......
The hull of the ship made a terrifying twisting sound, and the big guys were close together and didn't dare to move, Ding Xiaocong shuddered and asked, "The boat won't break, right?" ”
The Sichuan girl was squeezing into his arms, and when she heard this, she screamed: "What nonsense? How could the iron ship break?! ”
"Then you just said that there would be no accident, isn't it an accident now......" Ding Xiaocong muttered, this girl is too spicy, and he is really a little afraid of him.
Guo Yunxiang was so anxious that she was about to cry, stomped her feet and shouted: "Don't make any noise!" Shipwreck! Find a way! ”
This woke everyone up, it was really as she said, it was difficult to get out of the boat!
Now the Phoenix is running aground on the back of the green dragon, losing control in the torrent, capsizing in minutes, and there are thousands of people on the ship, including the crew and passengers, once it capsizes, the consequences are unimaginable!
