Chapter 53: Torrent
rapids
The big gold tooth was seasick, and he had already vomited a mess, and he couldn't move while holding the cable on the boat, and the boat seemed to be blocked by something in the river, and although the river was turbulent, the boat couldn't get out.
Under a violent impact, the boat may capsize at any time, and I want to go to the bow of the boat to see what is in the river, but the fat man and I had drunk a little too much by the river before, and at this time the wine was rising, and I didn't feel afraid, that is, the soles of my feet were as if I had stepped on a cotton sleeve, and the hull was tilted, and I walked for a long time, and I didn't go out a single step.
At this time, the boat was hit by the current in the big river, and the hull of the boat was struck horizontally, and the fat man was thrown to the opposite side of the deck, and his body was propped up on the strings of the boat, which scared the fat man half awakened by the wine, and just turned his head to look into the river, and the hull of the ship shook again, and threw the fat man back, fortunately, it was a mechanical boat, if it was a wooden boat, it would fall apart after only two hits like this.
I clung to the cable and the big gold tooth, and asked the fat man what was in the river? See what you see?
The fat man scolded and said, "his grandmother, I didn't see it too clearly, it's as big as a truck, like a big old turtle." ”
No matter what the hell it was in the river, let it fuck a few more times, the boat would have to capsize, and I shouted to the fat man, "Fuck the fuck guy!" ”
The fat man shouted, "You haven't sobered up yet?" How can there be a guy to do it? ”
I was indeed a little drunk, and I kept trying to find a submachine gun, but I only reacted when the fat man said it, this time in the mainland, I didn't bring any weapons.
It was raining heavily in the sky, and my body was drenched, so I touched the folding sapper shovel hanging on my waist, and shouted to the fat man: "Take the sapper shovel, whether it's a king or a fish, chop ***." ”
The fat man was not like I had not yet sobered up, his mind was still sober, and he knew that he had to take some protective measures, so he grabbed the cable and wrapped it around my waist twice, and my strength was also eighty percent gone, and while the hull of the boat was a little stable, he jumped to the port side where he had been struck in two steps, and poked his head out to look into the river.
At this time, it was already dark, and it was raining heavily, and the river was dark, and by the light of the lightning in the dark clouds, I could vaguely see that in the turbid river water, there was something like a hill, half of which was out of the water, and most of it was hidden in the river, and the visibility was limited, and I couldn't see what it was, so I saw it, and I only felt that it was like an animal in the water, whether it was a fish or a turtle or something, and I couldn't tell it apart.
The huge thing in the river was rushing against the current, and I grabbed the cable of the boat, and when I saw it swimming, I slashed it with the sapper shovel, but the sapper shovel was too short to hit.
As the hull of the boat was hit again, it catapulted me out of the boat, and the sapper shovel flew away and fell into the river, and thanks to the fat man pulling the rope, I did not fall into the river with the sapper shovel.
This time I woke up from all my wine, I broke out in a cold sweat, my mind was much clearer, the hull of the ship shook, I couldn't stand, I crashed into the boss of the boat who had shrunk into a ball, I took the opportunity to say to the boss of the boat: "Now that the hull of the ship is crossed, find a way to get the ship around, or your son will not survive." ”
The boat boss is a very superstitious person, insisting that the "thing" in the river is the real body of the river god's grandfather, and he was going to close his eyes and wait for death, I mentioned his son, and the boat boss remembered that his son was still in the cabin, anyway, he was dead, for the sake of his son, he fought for this life, and struggled to get up at the moment, wanting to rush back to the cabin to take the helm.
The boat boss staggered and just stood up, and suddenly pointed to the river and shouted: "Oh no, here again!" ”
I followed the direction of his finger, and now I was catching the spotlights on the boat, and I could see a dark blue thing, flickering in the river, sometimes the size of a liberation truck, circling the boat, trying to knock it over.
I didn't have time to take a closer look, so I pushed the boss into the wheelhouse, and when the door opened, I saw a bundle of thin steel pipes among the machine parts in the cabin.
At that time, I didn't know where it came from, so I beckoned the fat man to draw out a few steel pipes together, used them as javelins, and threw them out one after another at the thing in the river.
In the dark, it was impossible to tell what the hit rate and the killing effect were, but after throwing a dozen steel pipes, there was no trace of the monster anymore, and I thought it was driven away.
The rain in the sky gradually became lighter, and for a while the wind and waves were calm, everyone on the ship escaped death, one by one, their faces were white, and the big gold tooth wrapped themselves on the deck with a cable, and was tossed to death by the ups and downs of the hull.
Although the clothes on my body were soaked, fortunately, because it had been raining, I put money and documents and other things in a waterproof travel bag in advance.
Although the situation just now was urgent and sudden, the big gold tooth kept the travel bag in his hand and didn't fall into the river, and the people who did business, just this point, sacrificed their lives and money, and the sky fell, and they also looked at their wallets firmly.
I told the big gold tooth that when I got to the place in a while, I should quickly find a hotel and take a hot bath, otherwise I would have to get sick.
The son of the boat boss broke his head in the cabin, bleeding nonstop, and must be sent to the hospital quickly, not far in front of Gutian County, ready to dock there, I looked up, dark and obscure in the distance, sure enough, there are some sporadic lights, there is the small county town of Gutian that we are going to.
However, as soon as the situation on the ship stabilized, suddenly the hull of the ship was struck by a huge force, this time with greater force than the previous ones, and it was so sudden that we were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
The hull of the boat tilted, the fat man reached out and grabbed the cable, and the big gold tooth and I hugged his belt and thighs respectively, and the fat man shouted, "Don't ...... Don't tug at my pants......"
Before I finished speaking, the hull leaned to the other side, and I wanted to get the steel pipe in the cabin, but the hull shook so much that I couldn't get up at all, let alone see the surrounding situation clearly, and now it's a miracle that my head wasn't broken.
The hull of the ship rose and fell in the turbid current, and the deck of the cabin was full of water, and everyone's clothes were soaked, and they were all chickens.
In order to send his son to the hospital for rescue, the boat boss no longer cared about what kind of river god master or the ancestor of the dragon king was, so he desperately drove the boat to the dock in Gutian County.
The Yellow River bends nine bends and eighteen bends, after passing the Longmen, one bend after another, this Gutian is a relatively stable bend in the river, as soon as the boat turns into the bend, in the river chasing what we do not let go, it stops.
The lights in the front of us were getting brighter and brighter, and the boat boss moored the boat on the edge of the dock, and we put our feet on the ground before we were shocked, and the fat man took out the money, and paid some more to the boat boss according to the price agreed before, and the boat boss was familiar with the workers on the dock, and found a few people to help, and hurriedly sent his son to the hospital in the county.
The history of Gutian can be traced back to the Yin Shang period, and the city wall that has been preserved to this day is the product of the Ming Dynasty, although this place has a long history, but it is not very famous, and the scale of the county is also small, and there are few outsiders.
I and the big gold tooth, the fat man three like three chickens in the soup, looking for someone to inquire about the path, found a nearby guest house, when I went to the really coincidence, this guest house only provides an hour of hot showers every day, this effort is still half an hour left.
After taking a hot shower indiscriminately, the three of them were considered to be still yang, and asked the waiter at the guest house, do you have anything to eat? The waiter said that there were only noodles, so we asked for a few bowls of noodles and more chili peppers, and we sweated profusely after eating.
While I was halfway through eating, the old man in charge of cooking noodles in the canteen of the guest house came to talk to me and asked if we were from Beijing.
As soon as I heard the old man's accent, it didn't look like he was from the northwest, so I had a casual conversation with him, this old man's surname is Liu, his hometown is Tong County, Beijing, and he has lived in Gutian for decades.
Lao Liu asked us how we made this embarrassment, as if we had just fished it out of the pot.
I told you what happened to us in the Yellow River, what is in this river? Why is it so powerful, I don't know if it's a fish or a turtle, or it's still some other animal, I've never heard of such a big thing in the Yellow River, thanks to this small boat, if it were a wooden boat, we'd have to fall into the water and pour yellow soup now.
Lao Liu Tou said: "I have also seen this, the boat runner said that this is the river god, this year this year is not the water is big, the water rises in this river there are many strange things, I have lived on the side of the Yellow River for half a lifetime, at that time it was not liberated, I was less than fifteen years old, I saw this thing with my own eyes, someone once caught it alive, you really want to see, I tell you a place, you have the opportunity to go and see." ”
