Chapter 34: Washed Away
"I choose one, and it won't take me ten days to build a bamboo raft."
"That's right, I'll pick one too."
"But we can't build a raft."
"It's just a matter of putting the bamboos side by side and fixing them strongly."
"I want to choose two, I can't float, I'm afraid of drowning."
"I'll pick one."
……
After a while, Zhou Li said: "There are more people who choose one, so let's choose one, and everyone will go and build a bamboo raft." ”
Some of them jumped into action immediately.
Some of the people didn't move for a while, and they didn't know how to build the raft, so they planned to see what others did first.
The other part of the people will not, and they don't plan to build it themselves, they plan to directly pick up the ready-made ones when the time comes, and let others build them by the way, including Qiu and her two daughters, as well as his third son, Nangong Hong's family.
Nangong Anshan saw that Qiu didn't mean to move, but kept staring at her, snorted, and went to cut bamboo.
Think about getting on her bamboo raft and dream.
She had great strength and a machete, and in just a few moments, she had cut down thirty bamboos.
She wasn't going to make it big, just enough to put the family and the cart on it.
Seeing that there were rattans not far away, she went to cut some rattans again.
She is quick with her hands and feet, although only the second brother helps her alone, but she is still the first to make a bamboo raft, and it is still the largest bamboo raft at present.
She easily lifted the raft and put it on the water.
Seeing that the bamboo raft floated smoothly on the water, she said: "Yes, this is the first time I have made a bamboo raft, I thought it would fail, but I didn't expect it to be quite successful." ”
After saying that, she tied a rattan reserved on the bamboo raft to the big tree by the river to prevent the bamboo raft from drifting away, and then quickly pushed the cart up.
Many people were immediately envious, and it was good to have great strength, but they hadn't finished cutting the bamboo, but they didn't expect others to do it.
Nangong Anshan was the first to get on the bamboo raft, and after confirming that it was safe, she carried A-Niang on her back, and asked her brother and younger siblings to go up in turn.
Nangong Anshan looked in one direction and said loudly: "Aunt Cao, Grandma Yu, there are still a few people on my bamboo raft, you don't have to do it, come here." ”
When the two saw that her bamboo raft was indeed big enough, they put down the bamboo in their hands and walked over with their children gratefully.
Nangong Anshan looked at her second uncle Nangong Kang, and when she saw that he gave her a reassuring look, she didn't say anything anymore, and turned her head to look at Zhou Lizheng, "Grandpa Lizheng, then we'll go over first." ”
Zhou Li said: "Okay, you guys go over first, pay attention to safety." ”
Nangong Anshan nodded: "Okay." ”
The other side must be safe now, who let her have Taylor Boy.
Nangong Anshan picked up the bamboo pole and was about to use a knife to cut off the rattan connecting the big tree and leave, when Qiu came to the bamboo raft and said, "Nangong Anshan, you bring me and your two aunts, and Yingying over, and when we pass, you will come and pick up my other family members." ”
Nangong Anshan glanced at her and said, "Dream, I won't come back in the past." ”
With that, she cut the rattan and let the raft go.
Qiu Shi suddenly became angry, "This unfilial girl! ”
Nangong Miao said: "A-Niang, what should we do now?" ”
Qiu said: "Isn't your second brother still making rafts?" When he's done, we'll use him. ”
Zhou Lizheng suddenly spoke: "Qiu Shi, if you don't do it yourself, you want to use someone else's, you will definitely have to delay a lot of time back and forth, and we don't have time to wait for you on the other side." When we're over, I'm not going to send someone back to pick you up like lazy people. ”
Qiu's face suddenly turned green, so he had to ask his family to cut bamboo too.
Nangong Anshan had a lot of strength and arrived on the other side very smoothly.
As soon as he got off the bamboo raft, Nangong Cheng shouted excitedly: "Look, there are several pheasants." ”
Everyone turned their heads and saw a few pheasants.
Nangong Anshan picked up the arrow and shot it unceremoniously.
Several children shouted happily: "Sister is so good, we have pheasants to eat." ”
Nangong Anshan said with a smile: "The villagers estimate that it will take a while before they can come over, so let's roast the pheasant and eat it first." ”
After saying that, she went to deal with the pheasant, and it was done with three times and five divided by two.
Others went to collect firewood or make fires, and with the joint efforts of everyone, the pheasants were soon roasted.
Nangong Mo glanced at the other side of the river, and wished that the pheasant would be ripe immediately, so as not to be robbed later.
Nangong Anshan is not worried about people from the other side at all, she has a lot of strength, so everything is very smooth, for those ordinary people, it will take at least half an hour to come over, enough for them to roast pheasants.
Sure enough, after the pheasant was roasted, they all started eating, and the others opposite them began to enter the water.
Nangong Anshan began to distribute chicken to everyone, and after they finished eating, the people on the other side came over one after another.
At first, everyone didn't know how to brace the pole, but after a few attempts, most of them did.
Of course, there are a small number of people who can't find the direction and don't reach the designated location, but the deviation is not too serious, either upstream or downstream of Nangong Anshan, and then come over.
The bamboo raft made by Li Ergou's family was also launched, but in order to save time, he was very lazy, and the rattan was not tied tightly and went into the water.
When the raft was about to reach the opposite bank, the raft suddenly dispersed.
"Help! Help, help. ”
Li Ergou's family suddenly fell into the water.
Zhou Zhenyang frowned and said, "I knew they would cause us trouble, Daddy, what should we do?" To save them? ”
Zhou Lizheng sighed: "After all, it is a village, so if you know how to water, go and save it." ”
The soft-hearted man immediately went into the water to save them.
It's just that Li Ergou was washed too far away by the water, and the rescuers couldn't catch up with the speed at which he was washed away, so they could only watch him being washed away.
Zhou Zhenyang and Zhou Zhenyun rescued Li's father, Li mother and Li Dagou.
"Two Dog ......"
Father Li shouted anxiously, but the person had already been rushed far away.
The raft of the Wu family has been following the Li family, and they have seen everything in their eyes.
Father Wu looked at Father Li and said, "When your second dog was lazy in the back, I reminded you and asked you to check all the knots, but what about you, you really trust your son too much, and now it's okay, it's washed away." ”
Father Li cried and said, "I asked Ergou, and he said that it must be fastened, I ...... I had known, I had known that I would not let him do it, he would not be able to float, and now something must have happened. ”
Zhou Li was just about to comfort him, when he saw a person suddenly shouting: "Look, is the Nangong family's raft going to have an accident?" ”
