Chapter 45: Duck River
I suddenly had a feeling of luck, and I said in my heart, could it be a miracle in Jiang Shaoyan's body, and after waking up, he will join us and jointly destroy the old poison, an enemy that is so deeply hidden?
I asked more, and the iron donkey shook his head and said no, and he didn't say anything more on the topic of Jiang Shaoyan.
We continued to ride our bikes.
We ran to the Duck River, the whole road was mostly uphill, and after less than half an hour, we were tired.
The iron donkey started to rob again, we really met a taxi, it is estimated that the empty car ran back after sending off passengers, the iron donkey wanted to block the road, but I didn't expect to be found by the taxi driver.
This dude would rather let the taxi rub against the side of the road and crash into a small pit, but he also accelerated with all his might, shaking me off the iron donkey and me.
No matter how fast we pedaled our bikes, we couldn't keep up with the taxi for a long time, and finally watched the taxi go away.
We fought hard again, encouraged each other many times, and rushed to the lower reaches of the Duck River with a strong breath.
It's not a small place, and I'm having a headache about where to go next, and I'm thinking about whether to call Yin Yin again, but the iron donkey's eyes are sharp, and he finds a wooden plank hanging from a tree.
An arrow was drawn on the board, which seemed to be directing. I thought it was an accident, and I said this to the iron donkey.
The iron donkey got out of the car and walked over to the board, and after studying it, he told me that the board was newly hung and that even the road signs on it were new.
Now I can be sure, this is for the two of us. I couldn't guess who was hanging the wooden sign, but since there was this prompt, Yinyin's phone couldn't be connected again, so we could only try to go down the board.
To be on the safe side, we both hold our guns so that we can react quickly if we are in danger.
After a little more rush in, I found more than one plank, and we were guided by these planks, and we came to a water pool.
This water pool is really big, it must be made up of water from the lower reaches of the Yazi River, and you can't see the end at a glance. I looked at the scenery in front of me and suddenly thought of Liangshan, but Liangshan is in Shandong, which is 108,000 miles away from here.
We also found several bamboo rafts on the shore closest to us. It seems to have been specially prepared.
I had a crazy thought, and I said Yin Yin didn't mean to let us all swim in the water on a bamboo raft to fight, right?
I'm not a good swimmer, and I really don't want to go into the water, but again, is the old poison also a landlubber, he can't swim, so we have to adopt the tactics of fighting on the water for this?
At this time, in order to destroy a strong enemy, then everything should be based on the weakness of the strong enemy. The iron donkey didn't have as many thoughts as I did, and pointed to a bamboo raft and beckoned me to come over and have a look.
I put down the mess and got over with him. We checked the bamboo raft first, and found that there was nothing greasy on it, and the bamboo raft was tied very strongly, so there would be no possibility of falling apart halfway.
There were two oars on it, and we both sat on them and rowed with our hands.
We sat on the left and right sides separately, otherwise if we both sat on the same side and paddled together, the raft would have deviated and even circled in place.
There are no waves in this kind of water, and we are neither with the current nor against the current, so let's not be hurried or slow to row.
We kept paddling for a long distance, and I kept dancing my arms, which was more tiring than pedaling, and finally my arms were so sore that I felt like I couldn't lift them.
I looked back and found no trace of Yin Yin and Old Poison, so I said to the iron donkey, "We arrived too early, we can rest for a while." ”
The iron donkey thought about it, nodded and said okay. I happened to have a cigarette in my pocket, so we took the opportunity to light a cigarette and smoked it.
I was Tu Shuangtu happy, and I just lay on the bamboo raft and smoked. Even though my clothes tend to get wet with spilled water, I don't care.
The iron donkey was not like me, he was still sitting, smoking and looking around, keeping his eyes on the lookout.
He also told me not to be so lazy and to sit up and spend time with him. I shook my head and couldn't speak, and stressed that it was enough to have him in charge of the sentry.
As I was about to finish my cigarette, I heard a click from under the raft.
I was stunned, and my heart said, "What is this sound?" Could it be that a fish hit the raft? That fish is stupid too.
Before I could think about it any more, the strangeness appeared again, the raft actually moved slowly, and there was a slight clattering sound below.
I sat up and glared at the iron donkey.
I thought of the oni vine, and I also mentioned it. The iron donkey replied that it couldn't be, right? In particular, the ghost vine is also a rare species, and it cannot be said that it can be seen in a pool of water.
I asked the iron donkey again, "Since it's not a ghost vine, what is going on with our bamboo raft going forward on its own?" ”
The iron donkey was bold, and after pondering for a while, he said to me, "In this case, you cover me, and I'll go into the water to see." ”
We walked to the same side together, I was half-squatting to keep my balance good, and I was holding my gun and aiming into the water.
The iron donkey jumped into the water first, but in order to keep up with the speed of the raft, he immediately grabbed his hands firmly on the side of the raft.
The iron donkey was carried by the bamboo raft, and he had to overcome the resistance of the water, and the muscles of his two arms were tense.
This was not difficult for the iron donkey, and he took a few deep breaths and pressed his head into the water.
The water here is not too muddy, so I took advantage of the time to lower my body and send the flashlight into the water, which can be regarded as illuminating the iron donkey.
After a while, the iron donkey stuck his head out, his expression was a little serious, he didn't rush to say anything at first, and climbed onto the bamboo raft with force.
He sat down and let the water drip and drip on his body. I was in a hurry and asked the iron donkey what he saw.
The iron donkey said, "A small motor is installed under this bamboo raft, that is, the motor is working, so that our bamboo raft can move forward automatically." ”
I was completely confused, and I thought to myself, where did the motor come from? Not to mention that it was sent by a big fish, it can't be.
I guess there's someone in this pool, and he has very good water skills, and he can help us out without showing up. And it's not too much to use the word help, otherwise he can use a knife to make a few cuts along the gap in the bamboo raft to make it bad.
The iron donkey and I both fed the water a few times, hoping to make the water master show up, but no one responded to us.
As soon as the two of us discussed, let's continue to move forward, and when Yin Yin and the others come, all the cats in this water will be revealed. And with the motor, we don't have to paddle, but it saves effort.
In this way, we continued to go some distance, and there were signs on the surface of the water, which also guided us on how to go.
We still obeyed the arrangement of the markers, and drove in the direction of the horns of the entire water. But not all places are so bright.
Finally we came to a bush of reeds, and there was a path that the reeds had exposed, which looked like it had been made by man.
The sign says, let's follow the trail inside. The iron donkey and I both held our guns and let the raft slowly cross the trail to the heart of the reeds.
It was also a small empty water moor, estimated to be the size of four or five acres of land, and in the most central area, there was a lone boat floating on it, on which sat a man with a hat and fisherman.
In normal times, looking at this picture, it will give people a more or less poetic feeling, but now I and the iron donkey don't have this feeling.
We pointed our guns at this man, and the iron donkey was the first to shout, "Who are you?" ”
The man raised his head slightly, took off the hat, and replied, "Two criminals, don't you recognize the old man?" ”
We shone our flashlights on him, and I listened to the tones of my voice, and finally recognized him. But I also can't believe it, because this man is an evil king.
I haven't seen him for almost two years, he was originally an old man, but now not only is he not old, but he has a feeling of getting younger and younger, especially his cheeks are rosy, which is still a sign that only young people have.
The iron donkey was also thinking about something, and we both forgot to answer the call to reply to the evil king.
The evil monarch was dissatisfied and scolded, "Two things who don't know how to be polite, hurry up and come over and accompany the old man to fish!" ”
We came back to our senses and looked at each other. What is certain is that the Evil Lord is our reinforcement. I know his skills too well, and with him, it is indeed a trump card to eliminate the old poison.
Iron Donkey and I didn't know what to do, looking at the evil king, the worries in our hearts were all gone immediately, and we both smiled calmly, and sat on a bamboo raft together and leaned towards him.
When we get closer, I still think that the motor under our bamboo raft is uncontrollable, so should I and the iron donkey abandon the bamboo raft and go up to the evil king's lonely boat?
But as soon as I asked, something strange happened on the raft again.
