164, the waterfall capsized
Lu Chenggang didn't believe that Jin Duo could do the two King Kongs by himself, Jin Duo didn't argue, he smoked a mugwort on Lu Chenggang's head and said, "Let's go, see if the water is withdrawn?" This mosquito is so annoying. ”
The three of them walked to the river, the flood peak had passed, and the water level had basically returned to normal.
After the rain, the sky is clear, the bright moon hangs high, the four fields are lonely, and the Amber River is sparkling, coming from the distant darkness and flowing into the depths of the darkness.
After the three of them discussed, they decided to go down to the river and hurry, Jin Duo said: "There is a problem, Cheng Gang, did you find it, that pulp is a kind of goods, it is not easy to use when it is tight, and if it can't be used hard, the boat will be sideways." I pondered that if we put two poles into the bottom of the river, it must be better than pulp. ”
Lu Chenggang thought for a while and said, "Yes, it is true." Anyway, the water is not deep, take a knife, and I'll sharpen two struts. ”
Jin Duo took out the field dagger and handed it to Lu Chenggang, saying, "If you want birch and oak wood, poplar is straight and slippery, but it is not strong, and it will be broken if you say it." ”
Qiu Wenming asked Lu Chenggang: "Do you know birch and oak?" I'll go with you and give you a light. After speaking, he raised the outdoor flashlight, and a snow-white pillar of light pierced the night.
Jin Duo sat in place and watched the pile, Lu Chenggang and Qiu Wenming walked towards the woods, and the bright flashlight illuminated the woods in front of them like daylight, startling many resident birds.
Lu Cheng had just made the pole, and the three of them got back on the boat, and the rubber boat went down the river.
The moon drifts in the clouds, sometimes shining with a faint light; Sometimes obscured by clouds, the world is plunged into a gloomy darkness.
The night under the moonlight is emotional, the four fields are misty, the river is as bright as dark satin, and the world is even more mysterious and tempting in the hazy.
Lu Chenggang was still in the bow of the boat, Jin Duo was in the stern, Jin Duo said: "Cheng Gang, let's do an experiment, find a place where the water is a little faster, you suddenly call to stop, see if we can stop immediately." ”
Lu Chenggang asked: "I'm grass!" What do you mean? ”
Qiu Wenming picked up a pulp and scolded Lu Chenggang and said, "Stupid death, you." What does it mean? If you encounter a dark river waterfall, or any danger, you have to stop the boat immediately? ”
Lu Chenggang suddenly realized: "I'm grass! Yes, that's a good idea. ”
Qiu Wenming picked up a pulp, tried it in the river and said, "Grass! The water is so deep that you can't reach the bottom. It can be seen that the pulp is not good, or the pole is good. ”
Jin Duo said: "This depth brace is easy to use, and when you enter the Qinglong River, the brace will not reach the bottom, and you have to use pulp." ”
Qiu Wenming sighed and said, "Alas! When will it come? ”
Jin Duo said, "At this rate, we will almost be there tomorrow morning." ”
Qiu Wenming: "In broad daylight, too conspicuous? ”
Jin Duo said, "Let's hide when we are about to enter the city, and wait until it gets dark before leaving." ”
Lu Chenggang was in the bow of the boat, Jin Duo was in the stern, and both of them had a birch pole more than one person high in their hands, and the head of the pole could be inserted into the bottom of the river and could support the riverbank, which was better than pulp.
The dinghy floated across a bay, and there was the sound of rushing water ahead, which was only heard when the river was blocked and the current was turbulent.
Lu Chenggang suddenly shouted, "Stop!" ――”
Jin Duo and Lu Chenggang moved together, inserted the pole into the bottom of the river, pinned the boat, and the boat really stopped.
Qiu Wenming also wanted to help, and inserted the slurry to the bottom of the river, using too much force, the water depth could not reach the bottom of the river, and the dinghy flickered, Qiu Wenming almost fell into the river, and it took a heavy backpack to balance his body with his feet.
Seeing Qiu Wenming's embarrassed face, the three of them laughed loudly. Qiu Wenming sat down again and tied the four backpacks together, so that he could prevent the backpacks from slipping and hold a handle when it was critical.
Jin Duo said happily: "Okay, go back to the place where the water is flowing and try twice again, be skilled, let's go." ”
Lu Chenggang and Jin Duo pulled up the pole, and the boat went down the river, stopping when they said they stopped, walking when they said they said, turning when they said they turned, and they controlled it freely.
Under the side of the boat, there is no danger, no waves, Qiu Wenming is so idle that he dozes off, Jin Duo said that he can't sleep, it's too dangerous.
Qiu Wenming was bored and asked Jin Duo: "Jin Duo, how did you think of the trick of drifting?" I also spent a lot of brain cells, why didn't I remember it? ”
Jin Duo said, "Stupid you, didn't we just bypass the jam by the waterway when we came?" ”
Qiu Wenming: "Bypassing the Kazi is the estuary, and there is a highway from there." Let's drift like this, where is it a stop? ”
Jin Duo said: "Lotus Valley Town, if we can float out, where will we go ashore?" ”
Lu Chenggang asked, "What about after that?" What about after you go ashore? ”
Jin Duo: "Let's talk about it when we go ashore." ”
Lu Chenggang: "You are hiding so far, how can you clean up Tang Yingjie?" ”
Jin Duo: "I will return to Shun'an now, and if I show up, I will have to be caught, and it will be all wasted." ”
Lu Chenggang: "I'm grass!" Okay, you can hide. I went back to Shun'an by myself, and I had to blow Tang Yingjie's head to relieve my hatred. ”
Jin Duo: "Cheng Gang, have you thought about it?" You popped his head, what about you? Murder pays for life, can you live in peace? ”
Lu Chenggang: "I can't control so much, let's take revenge first." ”
Qiu Wenming stared at Lu Chenggang and said, "Chenggang, don't be blind. ”
Lu Chenggang: "I'm grass!" Am I blind? ”
Jin Duo raised his head and looked at the moon in the clouds, and whispered: "Cheng Gang, you must know that you are so reckless, you should not have been fished out in the first place, this is harming you." ”
Lu Chenggang stiffened his neck and asked, "What do you mean?" Don't worry, I'll pay you back when I go back. ”
Jin Duo said: "It's not about money. ”
The words were not speculative, there were no words, the dinghy glided silently, and the sound of heavy flowing water seemed to be nothing.
The Amber River on a moonlit night is like flowing glass, boats gliding on the mirrored surface, and the sound of the water is murmuring; It seems that the silent seabed, the wind is silent, the birds are not singing, and the distant mountains and trees are hazy, with a bit of mystery, a little horror, and a little gentleness.
Qiu Wenming snored in the middle cabin with his back against the partition; Jin Duo dragged the birch pole at the stern of the boat, lazily as if he were sleeping; Lu Chenggang was still full of energy, the pole was left and right, and the dinghy glided obediently according to his will.
In the middle of the line, Lu Chenggang suddenly put down the pole and took out the pistol from his bag.
Jin Duo looked forward, and in the grass by the river, there were four or five pairs of green bright spots, glowing like lamps, moving up and down, and it was obvious that they were the eyes of the nocturnal beasts, and they were chasing them on the shore.
Jin Duo tightened his whole body, his scalp was numb, he immediately put down the pole, took out the lightning gun from his bag, and kicked Qiu Wenming awake.
Lu Chenggang asked: "I'm grass!" What is it? Looks like they're eyeing us. ”
The night was dark, the river bank was above the water, and it was impossible to see what kind of animal it was, but only saw green eyes swimming in the grass, disappearing and disappearing, like floating ghost fire.
Jin Duo said: "I can't see clearly, it's a wolf or a bear, it seems to be chasing us." ”
Lu Chenggang shouted loudly: "I'm grass!" Civilization, flashlight shines on it. ”
Qiu Wenming took out an outdoor flashlight, and the bright pillar of light shot towards the riverbank, and in the aperture, a pair of eyes were as bright as small light bulbs, and they were all hidden in the grass, unable to see their bodies, unable to judge what kind of animal they were. It is also impossible to tell if there is a danger.
Lu Chenggang raised his gun and aimed at a pair of sparkling eyes and fired.
A tongue of fire erupted, and a gunshot "snapped" to break the silence of the night, as if hearing a command, all the bright spots disappeared immediately, and the sound of animals running away sounded in the grass.
Jin Duo shouted: "Cheng Gang! Don't shoot! ”
Lu Chenggang put away the gun and said, "I'm grass!" Two of them were too close together, and I was afraid that they would pounce on them and make it dark that I couldn't see anything. ”
Jin Duo whispered, "Don't squeak, listen to if there is any movement." ”
Lu Chenggang asked, "What's the movement?" ”
Kimduo: "Listen to any dogs barking." ”
Lu Chenggang asked, "What's the matter?" The dog that came? ”
Jin Duo: "Shut up. ”
The three of them listened with bated breath, no dog barking, and no one shouting; The night was silent, and when I looked at the river, the beasts that had caused them to make a false alarm were gone.
Jin Duo whispered, "There are no dogs barking, which means that there are no villages nearby." ”
Lu Chenggang asked: "I'm grass!" What's wrong with a village? ”
Jin Duo scolded: "Stupid! Don't alarm the dogs. This "dog" is not a dog, but a synonym for a profession.
Fortunately, the night soon returned to calm, and the dinghy continued to drift.
In the second half of the night, the river was foggy, and under the faint moonlight, the silver-gray fog shrouded the river like wisps of light veil, and also shrouded the weeds and dwarf trees by the river. The boat broke through the dense fog and disturbed the fog current, like a dream, like a fairyland.
Before you know it, the sky turns white, the light grows stronger, and the night is forced to retreat. The fog on the river surface became thicker and thicker, and the water surface was almost invisible, and it was impossible to distinguish the river from the bank.
Jin Duo asked Lu Chenggang loudly: "Is it not clear to see?" ”
Lu Chenggang said: "Yes, I see that you are vague. ”
Jin Duo said, "Come to the shore, it's not safe." ”
Lu Chenggang said: "I tried it, and the water was more than a meter deep, so it's fine." ”
After turning a few corners, Jin Duo heard the sound of rushing water, and Jin Duo said, "Cheng Gang, do you hear it?" …… The water sounds, be careful. ”
Lu Chenggang said "it's okay", "no" just came out, the word "thing" didn't come out, the bow of the boat suddenly sank down, the stern suddenly cocked, the current pushed, the boat turned over firmly, and the bottom of the boat was facing the sky.
Lu Chenggang and Qiu Wenming were detained under the boat, and Jin Duo fell into the water from the stern.
Jin Duo has no teacher, there must be a reason for the sound of water, or a cliff and waterfall, or a Akashi reef, whatever it is, it means danger. Hearing the sound of water, Jin Duo became alert.
When the stern of the boat was upturned, Jin Duo noticed that it was not good, threw the pole, and rolled down into the rapids. The force of the current was so great that it pushed him towards the waterfall and fell down with the current, falling into the pool.
Jin Duo paddled his limbs to the surface, the water was very deep and could not reach the bottom, Jin Duo shook his head, took a deep breath, and the life jacket held him, floating down the river.
Jin Duo looked around, Qiu Wenming and Lu Chenggang were behind him, and the rubber boat was more than ten meters in front of him, with the bottom facing up and drifting downstream.
When I looked back, the place where the boat capsized just now was a waterfall formed by a cliff more than ten meters high, and the big head of the small boat rushed down and turned over.
Lu Chenggang paddled in the water and shouted: "Jin Duo, you are close, chase the dinghy." ”
Jin Duo exerted his strength on all fours, and chased after him for a while, but the dinghy drifted faster than him, and he disappeared into the bend ahead.
Lu Chenggang had already swam over, his physical strength was obviously stronger than Jin Duo, he chased hard for a while, the rubber boat was getting farther and farther away from him, and Lu Chenggang was also deflated.
Jin Duo, Lu Chenggang, and Qiu Wenming converged in one place, drifted downstream for a while, and climbed onto the beach. The three of them lay on the beach panting for breath, like fish basking in the sun.
The sky was getting brighter and the fog was gradually lifting.
Qiu Wenming sat up, patted his thigh and said, "It's over, it's all over now, the food is gone, the equipment is gone, and the boat is gone, what's the matter?" ”
Jin Duo got up, looked around, and said dejectedly, "Go, you can't hold it up like this, look for it." ”
Lu Chenggang said: "My arm was pinned for a moment, and now I dare not move because of the pain." ”
Jin Duo went over and pretended to inspect it and said, "It's okay, just move around." Let's go, don't delay, look down, we won't be in trouble if we don't have a boat. ”
The three of them got up and walked downstream on the soft riverbank.
