Chapter 64: Rolling Torrent!
Thundered
In the woods ahead, there was a faint rumbling sound, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping. Lin Yi and Jiang Qinqin looked startled, felt the vibration sound, and looked at each other in surprise.
"Let's go, let's see!"
Lin Yi pondered, and finally decided to go to see what was going on, so he stepped into the bushes. And Jiang Qinqin did not hesitate, cautiously followed behind him, and the two of them set off, which just aroused the curiosity of Li Xueying who came over.
As soon as she made a mistake, her whole person turned into an afterimage, and she quickly followed. Soon, the three of them disappeared into the thick bushes, and kept moving forward.
Thundered!
At this moment, the rumbling sound in front of me was getting stronger and stronger, and even the ground shook slightly, and the trees trembled a little, which was very amazing.
And the more Lin Yi walked, the more surprised he became, feeling that the sound was very strong, and guessing what it was. He shuttled quickly, and the further he went, the more he felt that a strong water vapor was coming to his face, which was the breath of water.
He wondered in his heart, could it be a waterfall, otherwise how could there be such a sound? Lin Yi was surprised in his heart, and Jiang Qinqin behind him was also surprised, guessing whether it was a waterfall, otherwise where would the loud noise come from?
"What is this?"
However, next, after Lin Yi and the others got out of the bushes, they came to a place, and they were both stunned by the scene in front of them.
In front of the two of them was a huge river, which was surging and tumbling through. It is a large river, the water is turbid, like a mountain torrent, and it is surging downstream.
"Rivers?"
A surprised voice came, and Lin Yi and the others found that Li Xueying, who had arrived, was looking at the river in front of them in shock. The turbid river swept through like a torrent, and there was a rumbling vibration, which was very terrifying.
Lin Yi's face was a little ugly, observing the turbulent river in front of him, and at a cursory glance, it was at least more than a hundred meters wide. And the river is tumbling as violently as a flash flood, I really wonder how there is such a majestic river in the forest?
"Trouble!"
Jiang Qinqin frowned slightly, and said: "This big river is more than 100 meters long, and the river is tumbling like a mountain torrent, how can more than 300 of us get there?" ”
Lin Yi also thought of this problem, his face was a little bad, it was difficult to cross such a river. Moreover, from here, you can still see from time to time that one huge tree trunk after another is rolling along with the river.
Li Xueying looked at it for a long time, and said worriedly: "Brother Lin, how can this big river pass, can't you build a bridge to pass?" ”
"You go and call Mo Long and a few people to come over!"
Lin Yi commanded, and the latter did not hesitate, turned around and flashed into the jungle. She was the fastest, so she naturally asked her to notify Mo Long and the others to arrive, wanting to discuss the next thing.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Mo Long and the others to arrive quickly, and they were all stunned by the scene in front of them. They have seen a hundred-meter-wide river, but it is really rare to see a surging river like the one in front of them.
"It's miserable!"
As soon as Mo Long came, he looked at the tumbling river in front of him, and his face suddenly looked bad. He could imagine that there must be no bridges in this place, so how to cross the river?
"How are we going to cross the river?"
Huang Jiyuan asked quickly, staring at the turbid and tumbling river in front of him, and suddenly lost his mind. There is no way, although everyone is strong, they really don't have the confidence to swim past the tumbling river in front of them.
Several people smiled bitterly for a while, looking at the surging river in front of them in a daze, and had no idea. Lin Yi observed these rivers and guessed a possibility, which seemed to be related to the previous heavy rainstorm.
"The river may not have been so rapid before, maybe it was caused by a previous rainstorm."
Lin Yi said such a guess, and then said: "Now, there must be no bridge here, and the only way for us to go over is to build a ship, and to build a bridge, or to bypass this river." ”
"Isn't it?"
Mo Long and the others looked shocked, staring at their big eyes, a little incredible. They thought that the technical work of shipbuilding could not be built by anyone, and if it could not withstand the impact of the tumbling river, it was estimated that it would be bleak.
And to build a bridge, this is more technical, and no one in the crowd can design a bridge. As for the idea of building a single-plank bridge out of wood, the crowd thought of it, and looked at the surrounding trees and the width of the river, and finally gave up the idea.
The trees here are very tall, more than 100 meters high, and some may even be higher, but at the moment, this big river, after careful observation, finds that it is at least 200 meters wide, which is the distance.
"If you want to take a detour, it may take a lot of time, and you may not even be able to walk through." Jiang Qinqin said with a somewhat solemn face.
It is true that everyone knows that it is possible to make a detour, but the question is where does the river go, and can it be circumnavigated? If you can't get around, then maybe everyone is gone in vain, so there is no point.
"You say, can you glide over?"
Li Xueying suddenly said such a sentence, which attracted everyone's attention, and after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly felt that this was a solution.
"It's okay to glide, but what about the old and the young?" Huang Jiyuan was a little worried.
He said: "We are very strong, I can believe in the past, but the old and the young, the weakest, and we are not professionally trained, we may even fall in fear." ”
"Yes, we don't have any gliding equipment, so it's dangerous." Mo Long also nodded in agreement.
Next, everyone was a little silent, thinking about one possibility after another. And Lin Yi looked at the distance from here to the opposite side, constantly calculating all kinds of possibilities, and in the end, the only feasible thing was gliding and shipbuilding.
As for the single-plank bridge made of trees, the tree is very tall, but the problem is how to get it. Moreover, the location here is very low, just over a meter below the river, can such a bridge withstand such a violent flood?
"Let's go back and discuss how to slide, and then build a few wooden boats, which is the only way to do it now." After Lin Yi said this, he turned around and left.
And Mo Long and the others looked at each other, and finally reluctantly followed, thinking about the next hardship. Shipbuilding, if this technical work is not built well, it is estimated that the ship will be destroyed and people will die.
"Lin Yi, what kind of boat are we going to build, do we use wood to tie it into a raft, or use huge trees to dig it into a wooden boat?" Along the way, Jiang Qinqin asked this question.
And everyone is very cautious, very serious about the problem, and has to be cautious. This is a matter of life and death for everyone, and if it is casual, it may be to die.
Several people quickly returned to the team and announced such a thing, which immediately caused everyone to be shocked. This is to cross the river by boat, but the potential danger is very great, and it may not be possible.
"Ship a boat to cross the river?"
Some young people's faces changed slightly, and they felt that the situation was serious, and if one was not good, everyone might be trapped here. However, there are many people who feel that it is very risky, after all, after looking at the condition of the river, they feel that it is impossible to cross the river.
An old man suggested, saying, "I think it is very dangerous to cross the river in this situation, so it is safer to wait for the flood waters to recede before crossing the river." ”
"Yes, yesterday there was a heavy rainstorm, and the river was swollen and overflowing, which must be dangerous."
"I think it's better to be cautious!"
A group of more than 300 people were all talking about it, wanting to wait for the river to recede before crossing the river. This situation made Lin Yi and the others feel a little helpless, they don't want to cross the river now, but who knows when the river will recede?
If there is one or several rainstorms, it is estimated that the river will be several times more violent, and it will not be able to cross it even if you want to. Although the river is as fierce now, there is still half a chance, and if you wait, you really can't be sure.
"Everyone, please be quiet!"
Lin Yi stood up and waved his hand to silence everyone, and after a while, everyone stopped discussing and quieted down one by one. At this time, a cohesive force has been formed in the team, and the source of cohesion is the youth in front of him.
His face was a little serious, and he swept over everyone before he said: "I understand everyone's feelings, but now we don't know if there will be a rainstorm, if there are a few more rainstorms, we really can't cross the river." ”
Everyone was silent, this is really hard to say, after all, there have been two rainstorms before, and if there are really now, it is also very possible, no one can be sure.
It's going to rain, who can call the shots?
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lin Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, we have two plans, one is to weave a huge rope with rattan and use it to glide across the river." ”
"Now, let's build a couple of huge rafts, and then we'll try to cross the river with a raft after a group of warriors slide over to check the situation on the other side!"
With this suggestion, no one objected, and then, with the joint efforts of everyone, began to cut down trees to build rafts, and also to find vines to weave ropes and hanging baskets.
Bang!
In the forest, one huge ancient tree after another was cut down and collapsed, kicking up a huge puff of smoke and dust. At this moment, hundreds of people are busy, nervous and orderly, cutting trees and cutting trees, women are weaving rattan, and old people are carrying children.
"Let's speed up and strive to cross the river before dark!"
Wu Yong shouted loudly, waving the bronze battle axe in his hand and cutting down a hundred-meter-high tree in front of him. His strength was strong, and he wielded a giant axe with a thousand catties of strength, and in a few strokes, he cut down the big tree that several people hugged to the ground.
Soon, with the efforts of Lin Yi and others, they finally tied together a lot of huge logs to form huge rafts, and there were many ropes woven from huge rattans.
"Clear the road ahead!"
After a long time, everyone was busy building four huge rafts, and they were clearing the way, trying to push them all to the edge of the river with rolling logs.
