Chapter 224: Entangled in the Water
At this time, a faint voice came from the downstream direction behind, and Wu Zhijiang turned his head to see that the figure of the knife in the distance was floating there and kept waving to him, and was still saying something loudly.
I don't know if it's due to the direction of the wind driven by the waves, or because the sound of the waves crashing on the shore completely obscures it, but I can only hear it faintly and intermittently,...... River...... Not.......
Wu Zhijiang judged that he probably asked himself if there was anything wrong, and he shouted loudly I am fine, how are you, I can't hear you, the rope on it is stuck by something, I am watching.
After shouting, he didn't care if the knife heard it or not, so he looked again and found that the rope seemed to be stuck in something on the rock he had almost hit just now.
He touched the rope and was about to pull himself back to deal with it, but as soon as he used his strength, he felt that not only did he not pull himself back, but the whole person drifted a little along the rope xiangxia, he didn't know what the reason was, he didn't understand it after thinking about it, so he didn't care about him.
Continuing to exert force, this time the situation was still the same as just now, after a few exertions, he felt more obvious, and the whole person not only did not get close to the rock, but pulled farther and farther away.
At this time, he saw that there was an extra piece of driftwood next to him, and when he looked closely, it was actually the section of the tree trunk that he had just wrapped around the rope, and it was floating not far from the right hand side, but the floating trunk was not washed away, but was fixed there like him, and kept shaking from side to side under the impact of the current.
As soon as he saw this situation, Wu Zhijiang knew that it was probably because when he was dodging the impact of the rock just now, he and the floating tree trunk were washed on both sides of the rock, so that he and the others were hung here by the rock.
Just now, because the rope that was wrapped around the trunk was too long and floating downstream, I didn't pay attention to the situation upstream, but now I pulled the rope hard and pulled the trunk back from below.
And there were five people on his side, plus three captives and a knife, and the weight was much greater, so that once the rope on his side grew, the trunk side shortened, so that now he appeared in front of him.
In order to confirm his judgment, Wu Zhijiang tried to pull the rope hard again, and sure enough, when he saw the floating tree trunk floating and moving in Xiangshang, he knew that his guess was correct.
Seeing this situation, he didn't dare to pull anymore, to know that there were a few people falling behind him, the weight was far greater than the tree trunk, and now the more he pulled them, the farther away from the rock, and he would pull the trunk to the rock and get stuck, and he couldn't go back to deal with it, and now the only way was to get close to the floating tree trunk and untie the rope that was entangled.
Looking at the trunk that was slightly higher than himself, Wu Zhijiang not only regretted Shiyan just now, the trunk was basically parallel to him just now, and it was easier to lean over.
Now the trunk of the tree was pulled by itself and drifted upwards a little, about the distance of a sideways, and it was this distance that made it much more difficult for him to lean over again.
He began to try to get closer, but the current was too fast, and the few people behind him basically fixed his body there under the pull of the current, making it difficult for him to get over, and several attempts failed.
He also made himself exhausted and out of breath, and although the few people downstream couldn't see clearly, they knew from their actions that he had tried repeatedly without success, and he was also in a hurry there.
Seeing that there was no way to swim over, Wu Zhijiang didn't dare to try again, he didn't want to wait for his strength to be consumed, and stuck a few people here like this.
Looking at the tree trunk not far away, he didn't know if his decision to use a rope to connect several people together was correct, but he couldn't do it but cut the rope and leave, Wu Zhijiang thought so, and at the same time touched the dagger on his waist, which also made him feel a lot more relieved.
Walter in the back watched Wu Zhijiang constantly trying to get close to the trunk there, and did not disturb him, and the other people couldn't see the specific situation of Wu Zhijiang above clearly because of the distance and the poor vision at night.
But knowing that he didn't solve the problem after doing this several times, and he didn't know what the problem was, Zuihou still came over one by one to ask, and then Walter told them about the situation.
said that Wu Zhijiang was trying to solve the problem of being entangled in the trunk and hanging there, and several people didn't say anything after hearing the situation, and they all floated there quietly and swayed with the current, waiting for Wu Zhijiang to deal with it.
Seeing that Wu Zhijiang had tried repeatedly without success, and was kicking and resting there, Walter shouted at him and pulled the rope leader.
What the? Wu Zhijiang didn't hear clearly, turned his head and asked loudly.
Pulling the rope head and pulling it over, Walter shouted loudly, pointing to the tail rope floating downstream of the trunk.
This time Wu Zhijiang heard it clearly, he looked at the tail rope behind the trunk that kept rising and falling with the flow of water, not only scolded himself, idiot, he didn't even think of this.
At Walter's prompting, he began to try to get close to the undulating tail rope, but because the current was too fast, and the tail rope fluctuated with the current, it appeared and disappeared there, making him unsuccessful in two attempts, and he made himself even more tired.
Looking at the floating tail rope, it would be nice if the hand was longer, only a little bit closer to hooking, Wu Zhijiang thought, suddenly Wu Zhijiang seemed to think of something, his hand in the water moved quickly, reached to his waist and untied the belt, wanting to use the length of the belt to hook the rope over.
Wu Zhijiang kept waving the belt in his hand, like a leather whip to pull up a wave in the water, but the resistance of the water was too great, and he did not return in vain, and did not let the belt and the rope be entangled.
But Wu Zhijiang didn't give up, he was still there trying, he knew that this was the best way at the moment, and he didn't have to waste too much effort, and finally saw the leather whip in his hand connect the ropes.
Wu Zhijiang was happy in his heart, he carefully pulled it out of the water, and wanted to pull it over by himself, but it backfired, as soon as he came out of the water, the rope watched a string of ropes slip into the water from the twisting, which made Wu Zhijiang also a little angry.
He slapped the water in frustration, but he didn't lose heart, calmed down a little, and began to try again and again.
There were a few successes on the way, but each time the rope and rope that were twisted around the way to Zuihou were loosened in the middle of the way, leaving him in vain, and he thought that some longer branch could float down and use it to hook the rope head.
But it seems that even God is against him at this time, and he has waited until now that there is no branch to borrow, and even if there is a distance, he cannot obtain it.
Some small branches were even grabbed in the turbulent water, and he could only rely on the toughness of his belt, so he persisted for more than ten minutes and kept trying.
The knife in the back was impatient and sent a message to him to cut the rope and let a few people leave, but Wu Zhijiang always felt that the rope was still as long as possible, and now it seemed a little troublesome, but when it was always useful, he didn't listen to the knife's advice.
Seeing him see this like this, after passing the word, he didn't persuade him, and finally the belt in Wu Zhijiang's hand was entangled with the rope again, this time he didn't want to pull it over by himself as carefully and slowly as before, but when he saw the two entangled, he didn't stop trying to pull it over by himself.
One meter, ninety, eighty, looking at the approaching ropes, Wu Zhijiang looked at the intersection without blinking, and at this moment he found that the rope was loosening again, and he hurriedly reached out to grab the rope.
Fortunately, at the juncture of zuihou, the two fingers he stretched out caught the rope that had been loosened, and slowly brought it to himself, looking at the rope in his hand Wu Zhijiang showed a successful smile.
Even Walter, who was looking at him, smiled happily for him, originally thought that he was going to fail again, but he didn't expect him to succeed.
Wu Zhijiang finally approached the floating tree trunk with the rope and loosened the rope wrapped around it, but he did not give up the floating tree trunk, and the moment the rope was released, he felt the liliang from his waist loosen, and the whole person floated away along the current.
And he hurriedly clung to the trunk of the tree in his hand, and thus floated on the water, and for the first time did not sink with the waves.
In this way, Wu Zhijiang took advantage of the buoyancy of the tree trunk to watch the several people connected in the water flow continue to rise and fall in the waves, one will drift before and one after another, about half an hour later, he heard the rumbling sound in front of him, and as they continue to drift, the sound is still increasing.
