Chapter 33 Sailing Against the Current

————————————————————————————————————————————

The so-called hundred rivers east to the sea, because the Chinese mainland terrain mainly presents a situation of high in the west and low in the east, so the vast majority of China's rivers show a flow direction from west to east, and the so-called reverse flow river refers to the river water flowing from east to west in turn. This kind of backflow river is not absent in China, but it is very rare, the most famous of which is the Irtysh River in Xinjiang, for this, I am afraid that people with a little geographical knowledge are clear, because of its special, so it is more impressive.

However, China has a vast land and abundant resources, and there is definitely more than the Irtysh River, but there are other backflow rivers because they belong to small rivers, so they are not remembered by people.

At this time, it was already late, and everyone was exhausted, so they decided to take a break by the river. There was very little dry food left in the backpack, we had to start frugality, and after eating only a few compressed biscuits, we lit the campfire and started to rest, which is mostly the case these days, but today there were some problems - just as we were going to make a campfire, it started to rain in the sky again, and the rain was so heavy that the campfire could not be lit at all.

Gao Peng complained: "Damn, this is good, let alone making a fire, even sleeping is a problem." ”

Gao Peng is right, at this moment, the ground has been soaked by rain, our clothes are already wet, this time I feel even more cold, but the fatigue makes us unable to take care of so much, we each leaned on the trunk under the big tree, and after a while, I fell asleep.

This night, I didn't sleep well, almost all the time in a half-asleep state, the sound of thunder, the chirping of frogs, the sound of raindrops, Gao Peng's snoring, the sound of Chen Bing and Old Man Yuan talking, has been tormenting me for a long time.

I don't know how long it took to go, suddenly, a huge "bang" of the leaves rubbing sound woke me up, I opened my eyes to see, my heart suddenly cooled half, between Chen Bing and others disappeared at some point, not only that, but even Gao Peng was not by my side.

I panicked in my heart, and said that if Chen Bing and the others abandoned me, it would be understandable, but if even Gao Peng and Ryazan left me, then I would be completely isolated.

I looked left and right in a daze, and at this time, suddenly a cold hand covered my mouth, and I instinctively began to resist, but Ryazan's voice suddenly sounded in my ears, saying: "Lord Peixi, don't move, something is coming." ”

I didn't know what was coming, but I nodded silently, so that Ryazan's hand left my mouth little by little.

"What's that?" I asked softly.

Ryazan's body was hidden behind the trunk of the tree against which I was leaning, and I could only see half of his face, which looked a little strange on this rainy night.

Ryazan did not answer my question, but said softly: "Listen. ”

Listen? What to listen to? Is it possible for me to listen to the call of the frog?

I didn't hear anything other than the rumbling thunder and the rain falling, so I asked, "Listen to what?" What about the others? ”

Ryazan didn't explain too much, but said softly: "You come with me, whisper." ”

So, under the leadership of Ryazan, I retreated step by step towards the bushes behind me, and when I retreated into a small bush, I realized that Chen Bing's group had already stayed there, and even Gao Peng looked at me nervously.

Everyone seemed to be nervous, and I saw Shu Jingcheng holding a swarthy and shiny pistol in his hand, fully guarded.

Now that everyone was all together again, I asked them, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Bing lowered his voice and shouted at me, "Shut up and listen." ”

This was a rare anger from Chen Bing, and I was a little stunned, but I immediately closed my mouth and quietly listened to the sound I hadn't heard before. This time, I was so engrossed that the usual sounds around me gradually became oblivious to me, and my attention began to focus on the deep forest and the river.

"Woo woo woo ......"

I was in a state of excitement, and there was a real voice, a very nasal voice, as if it was talking in a low voice.

Gradually, I realized that it wasn't because I was so engrossed that I heard the voice, but because it was coming towards us from far and near. The sound came from above the river.

As the voice drew nearer, I began to realize that it was not the sound of a thing, but a conversation between each other, though one thing was certain, and that was that none of us could understand the words.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of the submachine gun being loaded, Hong Yi and Chen Bing were already in full battle, and the submachine guns in their hands were loaded all the way through, but in most cases they were in danger, and the guns had no other purpose except for being used to deal with mountain boys and hunting at the beginning.

I don't know why, but at this moment, my eyes always wander unconsciously on Ryazan's face, because sometimes, I can often judge the degree of danger by the change in the expression on Ryazan's face.

Ryazan was still smiling, with an excited look on his face, he noticed that I was looking at him, turned back to me and smiled: "Master Peixi, don't always look at me, I'll be shy, Ha Luha." ”

I pour! Ryazan still likes to make fun of me, which sometimes makes me feel very kind, because since he came to Hubei, he has rarely spoken to me in such a relaxed tone. But at this moment, his words made me feel even more reassured, as if as long as Ryazan thought it was okay, then we would not be in any danger.

The raindrops were getting smaller and smaller, but they didn't stop, and suddenly, a few small black dots appeared in the distance on the river, and those little black dots were getting closer and closer, and the original vague shape gradually became clear—it was a boat, and then a second, and then a third, a total of six boats.

These boats were very rudimentary, in fact, rows of bamboo rafts, and on each boat stood a few dwarf-like people of unusually short stature standing vertically—mountain children!

I heard Old Man Yuan muttering softly, "What's the matter, the old man said that those mandrills can't let us go easily." ”

The mountain boys stood in a vertical row on each other's rafts, and the six bamboo rafts also walked in a vertical row, and the mountain boys did not look back, but their mouths were indeed making some muffled sounds, communicating with each other.

"Fuck, something isn't right." Chen Bing said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Hong Yi asked.

Old man Yuan's sharp eyes had already realized the problem, and said: "These mandrills don't have artemisia to support the boat, and their boat is still very fast and straight. ”

When we looked at it, it was true that the formation of these rafts was almost like that of a warship, very neatly arranged, with six threads facing each other end to each other, all moving at the same speed at a uniform speed.

At this time, Ryazan said: "Mr. Yuan, you have only made it clear halfway, don't you see, these ships are going against the current." ”

When I heard this, I chuckled in my heart, and my heart said, How is this possible? But if you look closely, the black river is flowing in the night, and these boats are indeed going against the current, and they are going so smoothly without any external force, which is a violation of the most basic laws of physics.

Chen Bing obviously noticed this, but he didn't believe what was in front of him, he said: "It's impossible, this can't be, there must be other external forces pulling these bamboo rafts." ”

Each of us understands these truths in our hearts, but the river is not wide, and we can see everything around the bamboo rafts, and we don't see any external forces pulling these bamboo rafts at all.

Who knows, things have come to this point, and the weird and strange things have not ended.

I suddenly heard Hong Yi exclaim and said, "Damn, Brother Bing, look at the back of the last boat, why is there still a person standing behind the last boat." ”

We glanced along the last boat, and there was indeed a person of normal height standing behind the last boat on the last boat, who was dressed in white, standing there straight, with an expressionless face, and the long hair behind her fluttered from time to time, proving that she was a woman, but I would never have dreamed of the identity of this woman - Long Bujin.
