Volume 1 Chapter 67: Into the Water

I was startled by Bai Sha's eyes, thinking he had seen me throw away the half of the stick.

But I soon found out that this was not the case, for I saw that he was holding a very small pebble in his other hand. I squinted, and it instantly occurred to me that the strong wind was made by Baisha with small pebbles!

My pupils constricted, but I didn't show it, just stood still.

Yu Yang sighed heavily, smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll stay on it and push the bamboo raft..... Second master, you really have to wait for me, I don't want to die here yet. ”

The second brother patted Yu Yang's shoulder and said earnestly: "Who said that the person who stayed on it and pushed the bamboo raft would die?" Don't think about it, we will definitely have to wait for you after we go down, I can't do this kind of thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge....."

I admire the second brother's ability to talk nonsense and not change his face, in fact, the four of us all know that whoever stays on it and pushes the raft has a great chance of being dropped.

After all, in such a turbulent water, all variables are unknown.

But what puzzled me the most was why Bai Sha would help me break the wooden bar, he could have left me alone, after all, my second brother had just set him up. Since he couldn't take revenge on the second brother, he could have taken this opportunity to watch my jokes, but he didn't do it, but he helped me.

I looked at the second brother again and found that he was also looking at me and Bai Sha with a meaningful expression.

I was taken aback, the second brother seemed to have discovered Bai Sha's actions against me a long time ago, but as his own brother, of course he would not demolish me. But I was very suspicious in my heart, and he had already discovered all that Bai Sha had done.

Suddenly, I had a bold guess in my mind, and then I felt a chill.

The draw proposed by the second brother secretly determined the final result from the beginning, and the second brother, as the owner, of course would not draw the longest wooden bar. And he wants to make sure that I don't get pushed out to be this unlucky person, even if I really draw the longest stick, I'm afraid that in the end, the second brother will find a way to vote again, and he will never let me take this risk.

So only Yu Yang and Bai Sha are left, and in the two of them, it doesn't matter who pushes the bamboo raft to the second brother.

And Bai Sha saw through this, since he had to choose one person between him and Yu Yang, it was better to strike first and help me and my second brother not draw the longest wooden strip and directly eliminate Yu Yang.

Obviously, my guess was absolutely correct, and Bai Sha unwittingly broke the wooden stick in my hand with a small pebble.

For a while, this made me feel extremely dull, obviously it was just a simple lottery, but there were so many intrigues.

Although the four of us seem to be calm on the surface, in fact, the dark tide is turbulent.

But in fact, only me and Yu Yang really seemed calm, and the second brother and Bai Sha had already calculated every next step at the beginning of this draw.

We stood on the edge of the cliff, and by this time Dawu had already descended the cliff with a dagger, carefully digging a groove in the mountain wall for a foot to put in.

This is indeed something that only Dawu can do, and the person who digs the groove must have extremely strong arm strength to stick two daggers into the mountain wall to support himself from falling directly.

And after the four of us drew lots, we didn't speak again, as if we had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

After about twenty minutes, Dawu finally descended to the bottom of the cliff, and the groove in the mountain wall was enough for us to go down.

"Yu Yang, after we go down, you can push the bamboo raft down, and then don't stop and rush down immediately..... Okay, let's go, this place won't last long, it's going to collapse. The second brother gave an order, and took the lead and began to climb down the cliff.

After the second brother went down, Bai Sha followed, and I chose to go down last one in order not to let the slowest self delay time.

Descending to the cliff, I had the opportunity to ask Bai Sha, "Why did you save me just now?" ”

I specially lowered my head in order to see Bai Sha's expression, but Bai Sha didn't raise his head, but just replied lightly: "I didn't save you, I was saving myself." ”

I asked knowingly, but I still want to confirm the guess in my heart, and I still hope that my own guess is wrong, otherwise people's hearts will be too dark!

In fact, years later, when I think about my thoughts today, I can't help but laugh at how ridiculous I was back then.

When I came out of prison, I didn't realize one of the most serious problems in society. If you don't eat others, others will eat you, and others will eat you, and others will be hell.

What Bai Sha said that he was saving himself sank in my heart, and sure enough, it still confirmed my guess.

I suddenly felt a little sympathy for Yu Yang, if something happened later, he had to be abandoned by us, it would be equivalent to him being my substitute ghost.

After a while, we reached the lower end of the cliff, but we were not in a hurry to enter the water, and once we lost what we were climbing on, we would be swept away by the water.

"Yu Yang, push the bamboo raft!"

After hearing the second brother's shout, Yu Yang began to push the bamboo raft from above, and Bai Sha jumped directly into the water first, so he was the only one who could not be washed away in such a turbulent current.

He had to get the main raft in the first place when it was pushed into the water, otherwise we wouldn't have time to get up and the water would wash the raft away.

After Yu Yang pushed the bamboo raft off it, Bai Sha immediately took out the thick wooden stick prepared in advance and stuck it in the crack of the stone in the water, and the bamboo raft slammed into the wooden stick and stopped.

"Don't be stunned, go up, this stick won't last long..... The one above, you hurry up and come down, don't ink! Bai Sha shouted at us, and then grabbed the bamboo raft with his hands in the water, so as not to let himself be swept away by the water.

The three of us were not stunned, and jumped on the bamboo raft in turn, but because I didn't grasp the strength well, I almost fell into the water, so the second brother was quick and grabbed the hat of my jacket.

Yu Yang was very fast, and he almost jumped down from above, for fear that we would leave him.

I breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was no accident, otherwise Yu Yang really explained here, and I couldn't let go.

"The wooden stick is going to break, hold on to it later, you will definitely not be able to get up if you fall!" Bai Sha said with a serious face, and then said to me alone: "Zhang Zhiqiu, especially if you hurry up later, no one can save you if you fall this time." ”
