Chapter 800: Crossing the Stream
After playing for nearly a day, Li Bing sat on a boulder on the edge of the canyon and looked at the west of the village on the other side of the canyon in a daze. The water in the canyon is turbulent, lapping on the large and small stones, stirring up bursts of Lang flowers, and the roar is endless.
Suddenly he stood up from the boulder and cried out, "Listen, is there a cry over there?" ”
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to the canyon. After a long time, Zhao Wan'er hesitated and said: "The water is too loud, and the southeast wind is blowing today, and I am not sure if it is a cry." ”
Li Bing said: "I can't care so much, I think there must be something wrong in the west of the village." In any case, we are going to the west of the village today. ”
Zhao Wan'er said: "Li Bing, are you crazy? You look below, how can we get by? ”
Li Bing pointed to the canyon and said, "Do you see those two boulders in the canyon?" The distance is estimated to be around a meter. Although the water was even more turbulent because of the two boulders, I found that when the current was a little smaller, both boulders were exposed to the water. Although it was only a short ten minutes, as long as we grasped it well, we should be able to use those two boulders as a foothold and cross the canyon to the opposite side. ”
Zhao Wan'er glanced at the bottom of the canyon, felt some palpitations, and hesitated: "Isn't that too risky?" If you stumble, you could be swept away by the flood. ”
Li Bing said with a solemn expression: "Win in the middle and survive in the Jedi." Cao Jianwei and the others have passed a day and a night, and I just faintly heard the sound of crying, but I am afraid that something really happened there. In this way, a few of you, stay in the third sister's hotel, and I'll go there alone. When the flood waters recedes, come back again. ”
Zhang Yuanshan pointed at Li Bing and said, "Li Bing, I don't like to hear what you say?" We are people who share the same fate of life and death, so why should you venture to go there alone, while we are here to enjoy pure happiness? Count me in! ”
Shi Liya also smiled and said: "That's right, Brother Zhang is right, why let you go alone?" To go, let's all go together. ”
Li Bing said movingly: "Okay, let's hurry back to the third sister to pack up our things, and strive to find a chance to cross the canyon before dark." ”
Zhao Wan'er said: "Li Bing, do you think the third sister will agree to let us go?" She had managed to have five of us there, and she would have persuaded us to stay two more days, and if she had known that we were going to venture through the canyon, she would have refused to let us go. ”
Li Bing smiled and said, "This is easy to do, didn't we pay for the house for three days in advance?" Don't retreat, tell the third sister that we decided to camp in the mountains tonight, and the house money will be calculated. ”
Zhang Yuanshan laughed and said, "This is a good idea, so what are you waiting for?" Let's go back quickly! ”
Sure enough, the third sister insisted on not allowing them to leave, and after Li Bing and others repeatedly assured that they would only go camping in the mountains for a night to experience life, the third sister reluctantly agreed to their request.
In the third sister's repeated admonitions, Li Bing and the others deliberately went around to see that there was no one around, and once again came to the edge of the canyon that had already been seen.
A group of five of them, hand in hand, carefully descended into the canyon and stopped at the edge of the rushing water. Everyone waited anxiously, and the sun could not be seen in the canyon because of the terrain, and when the sky was about to darken, it was extremely cold and terrifying, making people palpitate.
Finally, the current was a little smaller, and most of the two boulders were exposed to the water. Li Bing looked at it and was overjoyed: "There is no moss growing on these two big stones. As long as it doesn't slip, it's much easier. ”
He straightened the travel bag on his back, hung a circle of straw rope that he had quietly stolen from the third sister's house on his shoulder, took two steps back, jumped hard, and stopped firmly on the boulder.
Li Bing threw the rope and asked Zhao Wan'er to tie it tightly to the strap of the travel bag, and he held the straw rope tightly with both hands. With the constant encouragement of Li Bing and others, Zhao Wan'er finally mustered up the courage to leap towards the boulder.
She felt her arm suddenly tighten, and knew that Li Bing had already grabbed her arm, so she settled down. Zhao Wan'er shouted in surprise: "I'm coming, you guys hurry up, the water will rise here again in a while." ”
Everyone hurriedly drew a scoop according to the gourd, followed Zhao Wan'er's example, and jumped on the boulder one by one. When they crossed the second boulder and jumped to the opposite bank, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the sky became more gloomy. Li Bing habitually looked at his watch and was surprised to find that it was more than an hour earlier than yesterday's dark.
The mountain wind gradually felt cold, looking at the black and oppressive dark clouds, Qian Yiduo suddenly shouted: "It's not good, let's hurry up to the canyon, it will rain heavily in a while." ”
Everyone knew that Qian Yiduo had grown up in the mountains since he was a child, and he had his own experience, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly climbed to the top of the canyon.
When they tried several places and finally climbed the canyon, they suddenly heard a strange sound that seemed to sweep from the sky.
The raindrops hit everyone's faces, and it hurt faintly. None of them expected that the heavy rain in the deep mountains would be so powerful, as if there were thousands of troops and horses fighting desperately on the battlefield.
Zhao Wan'er shivered and said, "Let's find someone to hide from the rain and see if everyone is wet." ”
Li Bing pointed to the nearest house and said, "Although the door of that house is closed, there is no rain under the eaves, so let's hurry there." ”
When everyone was hurrying to the house, suddenly there was a roar behind them, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
Qian Yiduo wiped the rain on his face and said, "It's so dangerous, we just escaped death." There was another flash flood, and it is estimated that the two boulders were long gone. ”
Everyone turned back a few steps, and when they looked back into the canyon, they were all frightened. At this time, in the canyon, the water level rose sharply, and the big water, like a galloping horse, roared in the canyon and rushed downstream.
Qian Yiduo said solemnly: "Li Bing, it seems that your decision is completely correct." Looking at the weather, the rain will not stop for a while. Coupled with the flash flood, if we hadn't ventured over just now, I'm afraid we would have to stay at the third sister's house for several days! ”
Li Bing was also secretly frightened, knowing that the flash flood broke out so badly, he really couldn't make a decision, and took the risk to take everyone over this canyon.
And they all rushed to the room, and took shelter from the rain under the wide eaves.
The door creaked open, and a small child appeared in the doorway. He looked at everyone with big curious eyes, and there was obviously a hint of immaturity in his voice: "Who are you?" How did you come to our village? ”
Shi Liya squatted down and said softly: "Children, is there a college student named He Jie in your village?" We are all his friends, and we are here to visit his house! ”
