Chapter 15: Down the River
"Hey!"
I only had time to scream before I was hit hard by the huge waves and Liang Ruoyi, and then I was slapped on the mountain wall!
"Ouch......" I suddenly felt my heart suffocated by a strong impact, and hurriedly held my breath to expose my head to the water, and found that I was right on the edge of the protruding stone, and hugged it.
And at this time, I realized that Liang Ruoyi was rushed behind me, and only relied on the rope around his waist to maintain his balance, otherwise he would have been washed away just now!
"Xiao Gu, you pull the ice beauty back first!" The old clam yelled at me, and I turned my head to see the old clam grasping the rope connecting the stone with one hand, and pulling the rope on my body with the other, and his face was already showing a look of difficulty.
I answered, let go of the stone beside me, turned around and pulled Liang Ruoyi's rope with both hands, pulling hard in my direction. And Liang Ruoyi also used all her strength to paddle on my side, but the speed of the rain was too fast, and her strength was a drop in the bucket, not to mention.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the toad and the seventh master hurriedly stretched out a hand to grab the rope on my body and pulled it back.
"I want to slap you to death!" Liang Ruoyi scolded me with a pale face.
At this time, I was nearly three zhang away from where the original Seventh Master and the old clam were standing, and Liang Ruoyi was almost half a zhang away from me. I smiled bitterly at Liang Ruoyi: "I just want to find a stable place!" Come on! ”
The old clam and they pulled the rope around my waist tightly, and I pulled Liang Ruoyi's rope tightly, and walked back slowly. The strength of the three big men made my waist ache, and I gritted my teeth and held my breath to not shout.
Seeing that the distance between us and the old clam was less than two feet away, we heard a loud "bang", and the mountain wall on the old clam's side seemed to have been hit by something, and several pieces of gravel on the mountain wall fell into the water in a small "poof".
"What's that? Stone? The old clam looked at the seventh master in surprise.
"There's something underwater!" The cloth bag monk suddenly screamed softly, waved his hand and asked us to hurriedly lean against the mountain wall!
Old clams, they are okay to say, they were originally in front of the mountain wall, but Liang Ruoyi and I were almost washed into the middle of the river at this time, and it was too difficult to get close to the mountain wall in the rapid river water!
"Hey, hey, hey...... What's that?! The toad suddenly screamed, I hurriedly looked over, and saw that behind the countless rain curtains, the toad's originally red and swollen face also became pale at this time, and his face was even more frightened: "How do I feel that a slippery thing has swam past me just now?!" ”
I was also nervous in my heart, and subconsciously glanced at Liang Ruoyi not far behind me, before I could speak, a huge wave suddenly rose more than half a zhang away in front of me, I widened my eyes and saw a black-skinned carp nearly half a zhang long jump out of the water, glanced at me and fell into the water again!
"This?!" Because I've been in the water for a long time, I don't know if I've been scared to pee: "What is this?" Washed away the Dragon Palace?! ”
"That's a carp!" Liang Ruoyi shouted angrily: "It's just a little bigger!" ”
"Bigger? Nothing more?! I looked at the ice beauty with a bitter face: "It's enough for me for a month's rations!" ”
"Boom!"
As soon as I finished speaking, there was another loud noise from the old clam's side, this time it seemed to rub against the old clam, and his body shook violently, and he let go of the hand that was holding my rope.
Fortunately, there are also the seventh master and the toad dragging the rope, I shook it for a while, and hurriedly stabilized my body to look over, this look, but it really scared me to pee: just under the water not far from us, we can clearly see the figure of a huge carp, from this shadow alone, this carp is three meters long, and the carp that jumped out of the water just now compared to it, it is like a child seeing his mother!
I looked at the Seventh Master and the Budai monk, and saw that they were also solemn at this time, and these two masters of the rivers and lakes were completely out of idea at this time. I just don't know that this old monk who said that "everything has its own certainty" will not regret his decision after this time.
"Hey, pull the two of us back first!" Braving the heavy rain, I shouted over there, "It's less than five meters away!" ”
The old clam answered, stabilized himself and grabbed my rope again, and this time the old monk also joined in, and the four of them shouted the number and pulled me and Liang Ruoyi towards that side.
After pulling for more than ten seconds, we all stopped: the huge black shadow under the water suddenly faced the old clams, wagging its tail, and it seemed that it was about to rush over!
"Damn, can't this carp eat people?!" The old clam exclaimed.
The seventh master shook his head: "No, this should be a fish in the mountain river stream or in the underground river in the mountain, it shouldn't be able to eat people, it is estimated that it wants to tease us......"
"Is this a joke for us?!" The toad cried and mourned: "This is to amuse us to death!" ”
As soon as the toad's voice fell, he saw the big black carp suddenly rush over!
I suddenly subconsciously screamed, but I didn't expect the carp to rush over with the rope on my body! It was as if I was on a rocket in an instant, and I rushed over with a "whoosh"!
Now I can't see anything, and my face is full of rain and river: "Hey......"
With a few loud bangs, I felt the rope around my waist loosen a few times, and my body suddenly drifted back into the distance, and soon I was dragged by someone again!
"What should I do?!" The old clam cried out, "The stone on my side has been loosened!" I don't think it will last long! ”
The huge carp had returned to the river and could not see where it had gone. I hurriedly wiped a handful of water on my face and looked over, and saw that at this time, the distance between Liang Ruoyi and me and the old clam had widened to more than two feet, and the rope seemed to be still entangled in the water, and the stone tied to the rope on the old clam had shaken a little under the continuous impact of the carp!
"Release!" Liang Ruoyi suddenly screamed!
I was startled, turned my head to look, and saw that Liang Ruoyi didn't know when he was less than two meters away from me.
"Loosen up?!" The old clam looked at the seventh master.
"Nonsense!" Liang Ruoyi drew out a short blade: "If you don't let go, all of us will be washed away!" That stone can't hold our weight, you either let go now, or I'll do it myself! ”
I was stunned by what these two people said, and now I have come back to my senses: let go?! Beauty, you said it easily, now the two of us are entangled, you say let go, isn't that just to let me go? In this case, if we are allowed to float down the river, wouldn't we be looking for death?!
"Hey, that, you ......" I stretched out my hands to say something, but when I saw Liang Ruoyi's cold face, I didn't know what to say.
"You, when the old clam shouts three to loosen my rope, grab it and tie it around your waist, do you hear?!" Liang Ruoyi shouted at me.
"Good!" What else can I say, I can't put everyone in danger for my own sake.
"Old clam, let go of my rope first, shout to three, let Gu Rui continue!" Liang Ruoyi shouted at the old clam.
The old clam hesitated, turned his head to look at the stone that was still shaking slightly, and finally made up his mind, reached out and touched Liang Ruoyi's rope around his waist: "One!" Two! Three! ”
I kept holding Liang Ruoyi's rope tightly with both hands, until the old clam shouted "three", and suddenly felt that this rope was jumping quickly in the palm of my hand, I gritted my teeth and used all my strength to slow it down, and finally got the end of the rope after ten seconds, and tied it around my waist - now, I was completely locked together with Liang Ruoyi!
"Old clam, shout three again, let go of Gu Rui's rope!" Liang Ruoyi had already drifted out more than a foot away because the rope was loosened.
I'm almost crying, why is it not me who decides my fate in this situation?!
"Be careful! Find a high ground or a rock to stabilize as soon as possible! The Seventh Master shouted at us, and then nodded to the old clam.
The old clam reached out and touched my rope, shouted three, and the pulling force on my waist disappeared instantly, and Liang Ruoyi and Liang Ruoyi were like two ants, floating down the river towards the depths of the valley......
