readx;? I said that I was asking for advice, but the first time I actually stepped on the water meadow, I didn't know how to open my mouth and ask for specific advice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Qingshan originally inadvertently turned his head to look back, hoping that Zhou Baoyu or Zhou Ping could start first, but who knows, this look, only one outline was left on the mountain not far away, and everything around was gray and black. Looking at the footsteps, it was almost the same—the visibility was so low, and the moonlight was already dark, but it didn't allow them to see everything in the water meadows right now.

Suddenly Zhang Qingshan thought of a topic to begin: Tashi didn't seem to light torches, and he didn't remind everyone to do so.

"Tashi, I have a special curiosity, can I ask you about it?"

Tashi is also a sincere person, perhaps shocked by Zhang Qingshan's words just now, he was not polite, and nodded and said, "You say." ”

"Look, Tashi, it's getting dark, shouldn't we light the torches?"

"No, I don't. ”

"Why?"

"For one, I'm still familiar with this part of the road, and there is not much point in lighting it with torches. Second, after entering the water meadow, firewood is hard to find, and you don't have many torches with you, so it's better to stay in case of emergency. Thirdly, at this time, we have just set off, and if the enemy sees the light of the torches, even if they dare not chase into the water meadows, it is still possible to shoot coldly. ”

Zhang Qingshan nodded, recognized Tashi's reason, and was about to ask something else, but unexpectedly, Tashi stopped his steps, turned to look at Zhou Baoyu, and said to Zhang Qingshan with some embarrassment: "I forgot that I also brought a rope on purpose, in fact, we can use a rope to connect us to each other." That way, whoever accidentally gets stuck in the swamp can pull the other three out. That way, you don't have to worry about falling into the swamp. Of course, it's better to be careful, after all, it's not a joke. ”

"Okay! That's the best way. ”

Seeing that Zhou Baoyu couldn't wait to agree loudly, Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile.

I saw Tashi take out a large bundle of finger-thick rope from the large cowhide bag on his horse's back, and when he unfolded it, it was no less than 20 meters.

"Tashi, your rope is too long, isn't it?" Zhou Ping, who walked at the end, looked at the large circle of rope in his hand, smiled bitterly, and tied it to his body, but he saw that there was still a big section left, and asked: "There are so many, why are there six or seven catties, with some trouble." Why don't I cut off the extra rope first?"

"Don't. Tashi was afraid that he would cut off the extra rope and shouted: "I think it's a trouble to have more of it now, and it's a bit heavy to carry and uncomfortable, but when you want to use it, if you miss such a section, then it's too late to regret it." ”

"Isn't it okay to put the extra rope on the horse's back first, and then connect it when you use it?"

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't have that time. ”

Zhang Qingshan was taken aback, and subconsciously interjected and asked, "It won't be so fast, there is not even time to tie the knot, right?"

With a solemn face, Tashi solemnly spoke of an incident he had personally experienced.

At first, he carried Lausanne's father on his back, and some of his guards ventured deep into the water meadows to avoid the enemy in desperation.

Because the people on the grassland are accustomed to being able to take wild horses at any time in case they encounter them, everyone will instinctively carry some rope on their horses.

At that time, everyone's thoughts were exactly the same as Zhou Ping's thoughts now, everyone thought that they were carrying a rope six or seven meters long, even if someone fell into a swamp, it would be too late, even if the rope was not enough, it was impossible not to even have time to connect the two ropes, so no one cared.

However, at that time, more than a dozen of them went deep into the water and grassland for the first time, sometimes walking side by side, sometimes walking back and forth, but there were always two people walking in front of 20 meters or so, which was equivalent to the role of open road reconnaissance.

The first day was fine, but at noon the second day, suddenly, the man on the left in charge of reconnaissance was in a trap in the swamp. Everyone rushed to the rescue.

In the trap swamp, the more you struggle, the faster you can sink in! This common sense is known to many people in our era of advanced information, but at that time, the information was not available, and everyone was always full of awe of the water meadows, who would dare to venture into it without anything to do? Therefore, everyone has rarely seen a swamp before, let alone any good experience to reduce the speed of sinking. So, the man struggled in terror, screaming, and a little crazy for survival. Fortunately, Lausanne's father had heard the old people talk about what to do when he fell into the swamp, and immediately shouted to remind him not to move and to lie down as much as possible. At the same time, he also reminded everyone not to go near the person's surroundings, so as not to trap themselves in it.

It was too late, and by the time everyone rushed to a distance of four or five meters from him, the man had already been submerged in the swamp to his lower abdomen. And everyone had to stop, because Tashi, who was rushing to the front, had been swallowed up to his calf by the swamp and swallowed to his thigh at a very fast speed.

Fortunately, Lausanne's father was not in trouble, so he asked everyone to quickly retreat again, and divided them into two groups, and let them throw them with the rope they carried with them.

Tashi didn't sink deep into it, but the rope was strong, and a few people pulled him out of the swamp with a single pull.

But the other person was in trouble.

When the rope was thrown at him, the swamp was about to swallow his chest.

At this time, everyone suddenly discovered that the other end of the rope was about a meter away from his outstretched right hand.

The man also wanted to grasp the meaning of the last life-saving straw, and felt that the difference was only one meter, so he fought hard and threw himself at the rope, and as a result, he only advanced about half a meter, but it was precisely because of his force that he accelerated his sinking speed, and the swamp instantly swallowed his chest.

The crowd panicked, some reminding him not to move, while others shouted to take the rope back and connect another rope.

However, it was the delay between these two breaths, when everyone had just tied the knot and was about to throw the rope to him again, but they were sad and angry to find that the swamp had not given them any chance, and it had cruelly devoured him: his hair was instantly swallowed in the swamp, and a few bubbles bubbled, and the right hand that was stretched out high was still making a final struggle, scratching a few times in the air, and finally, weakly stopped, and was swallowed up by the swamp little by little......

"You don't know, it's really ...... to watch your brother get swallowed up by the swamp little by little, and there's nothing you can do about it It's true...... Alas~!" Tashi sighed with a sad heart, and said with some hatred: "If we had connected the rope well and had enough length from the beginning, I believe that my brother would not have died there." If I had known that it would be such a short distance, I would rather carry the mountain on my back than think about it for the sake of relaxation, and finally watched my brother disappear in front of me little by little, but there is no regret medicine in the world, we ......"

Zhang Qingshan and the three of them listened silently, imagining the picture with empathy, and from the tone of their voices, they felt the pain that Tashi could not forget until now. In the end, Zhang Qingshan stepped forward and patted Tashi on the shoulder: "Tashi, let him pass in the past, you didn't mean it, after all, you are not an immortal, you can't judge the future, and I believe that your brother won't blame you." ”

Tashi nodded and said to Zhang Qingshan, "I just don't want this scene that I experienced to happen to you, because I can see that you are also brothers. ”

"Thank you!"

After speaking, Zhang Qingshan looked back at Zhou Ping, who was a few meters away, and saw that Zhou Ping had already stirred the extra rope into several large circles and hung it on his body, looking at it with a solemn face. Looking at each other, Zhou Ping nodded solemnly.

"We've learned a lot about it afterwards, and I'll tell you little by little. Tashi followed Zhang Qingshan's gaze as he spoke, saw Zhou Ping hanging the rope on his body, walked over, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous." You can put the extra rope on the horse's back, but only on it, never on it. This way, you don't have to carry extra ropes to walk, and if the horse falls in, because it is not tied, you will not be pulled into it by the trapped horse. ”

Zhou Ping immediately expressed his gratitude.

After making this preparation, everyone continued to rush in the moonlight.

After walking for a while, Tashi looked back and saw that the mountain had mixed with the horizon, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a pack of cigarettes from the satchel he was carrying and scattered them to everyone, saying, "I suddenly thought of something that I need to remind you: the four of us walked together, connected to each other by ropes, and walked a few meters apart from each other, without any problems. But when I'm gone, and the three of you are left, you'd better stop tying ropes to each other like this, otherwise, one bad one will cause a big problem. ”

Zhou Baoyu felt fear in his soul when he thought of the scene where he was swallowed by the swamp - not because he was afraid of death, but because he didn't want to die like this.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Tashi's words, he was very nervous and anxiously asked, "Why?"

Tashi lit his cigarette, took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and without looking back, he replied as he walked, "Because the strength (pull) of the swamp is very strange." The more you struggle, the faster and harder it pulls you down, and the more you sink into it once it bites you, the more force it takes to pull you out. Let's put it this way, I personally think that if a person traps a swamp, it takes two or three times as much strength to pull him out. Now, the four of us walked together in this way with ropes, and it was not a big problem, for the remaining three of us had the strength to pull him out of any of the trap swamps. But if it's just the three of you, if one of you gets trapped, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pull it out with just the remaining big and small ones. Especially once the person who has fallen into it is swallowed to the chest by the swamp, that hope is really small. Moreover, because you are all connected to each other with ropes, if one is not good, it will cause the other two to have no time to untie the rope, and the most red, the three of you will fall into it together. ”

"Tashi, we remember, thank you for your advice. ”

"Don't thank me. As he spoke, Tashi glanced back at Zhang Qingshan, and then at a distance again, perhaps because he felt that he was far away from the tribe, and he dared to say some things - anyway, Zhang Qingshan and the three would not go back, and no one knew if they spoke boldly: "Although I didn't understand for a while what you meant by what you said 'the Red Army is the army of the poor people in the world', my heart tells me that there is some truth in what you said." So......" At this point, he glanced at the distant horizon again, and whispered, "So I am willing to help you as much as I can, and I hope you can get out of the water meadow." ”

Zhou Baoyu wished that Tashi would go with the three of them to help him overcome the terrifying water meadows, so he took it with a mouthful of anticipation......
