Yun Xue heard the story told by Li Qingxiang in front of her and couldn't help laughing. This Uncle Li is really funny. He said this, these men can't sleep at night, wondering what the fairy looks like? What he's talking about is really nondescript.

Sun Changhai found these people gathering in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Hurry up and stay in their respective places, is it fun for you to be on this river?" It all cheered me up. ”

When the first few of them heard this, their necks shrunk, and they hurried back to their places.

Yun Xue and Zheng Song looked at each other and smiled, and then each paid attention to the wooden raft under their feet.

The Yalu River, a drainage basin that can be discharged, can be more than 800 miles. The 800-mile waterway is divided into three sections: Shangjiang, Zhongjiang and Xiajiang. Shangjiang River from the source to Linjiang Prefecture, this section of the river is shallow and narrow, and the water flow is turbulent. From Linjiang to Ji'an and Huanren, this section of the river gradually widens, gathering many tributaries. In this section of the lower river from Kuandian to Andong, the river surface is wider, and the water flow is gradually slowing down.

From Shangjiang to Xiajiang, there are 7749 whistles with names and surnames. It can be said that the whistle is sinister, and one whistle is more difficult to break through than the other. The forty-nine whistles on the Yalu River can be said to be different whistles and mysterious whistles. There are flat water, and there are stable water; There are bright currents and there are undercurrents; There are also dangerous shoals, reefs, turning doors, and flower drains. Walking on the Yalu River, the wooden handlers must always pay attention to the underwater, in case they are not careful, something will happen.

The wooden raft floats on the water, and it can't go far in a day, usually only thirty or forty miles. The 800-mile waterway, from Changbai to Anton, takes one or two months if it is smooth, and sometimes it takes more than three months if the water is shallow. Their trip was not bad, but at this time, the river was turbulent and the current was rapid, and they were not walking slowly.

Standing on top of the wooden row, with the ups and downs of the wooden row, people are also swaying up and down. Some of the first-time leaders in the upper row couldn't adapt to this kind of bump, and some couldn't help but vomit. Yun Xue is fine, she doesn't feel anything.

Don't look at it, it's already April, the weather is warm. However, on this river row, the river wind is gusting, and the cold of the river is still very heavy, so people still can't feel warm when they stand on the wooden row. Yun Xue was still wearing a thin cotton jacket, and she felt that she was beaten through by Jiang Feng.

Zheng Song looked back at Yun Xue, "If you feel cold, you can put on another piece of clothing." ”

Yun Xue shook her head, "Forget it, it's inconvenient to move again, this river, you have to pay attention to it at all times." It's okay, I'll get used to it in a while. Yun Xue smiled and looked ahead. Today, we should be able to go to Changbai County, right? ”

"Well, almost, I'll have to dock at that time and prepare more food in the county." After all, Zhengsong has followed the two platoons, and he can understand a little more. "Usually whenever we go to a big place, we will go to the city to buy something. We don't always stop at the edge of town, and most of the time, we actually live in the middle of nowhere. So you have to hurry up and prepare things every time. ”

"Xiaoyu, come over and boil some hot water, get some hot water for the big guys to drink, it's too cold on the river, let everyone warm up." Sun Changhai shouted in front.

Yun Xue agreed, and then ran towards the second platoon. Fortunately, her skills are good, and coupled with the exercises taught by Old Man Dong, her body is light. I saw Yun Xue jumping between the wooden rows and the wooden rows, but it didn't take much effort to come to the second platoon.

On top of the wooden rows, flower sheds were erected. This trellis is made of wood, and the bottom is sharpened into the cracks of the wood. A few of these logs made up a trellis. Inside the flower shed, it is naturally a place where everyone sleeps at night. The flower shed on the second row contains one of their products, such as food, firewood, pots and pans.

Naturally, there are still a few stoves, on top of the wooden rows, it is impossible to light the fire directly, so you can only use the stove.

Yun Xue lit the stove and sat on top of it with a pot of water. Wait until the water is boiling, fill it into another small pot, and then sit on the pot again. Yun Xue carried the kettle in one hand and a second bowl in the other, and went to deliver water to everyone.

"Uncle Sun, drink water." Yun Xue poured most of the bowl of water into the bowl and handed it to Sun Changhai.

Sun Changhai took the bowl, took a few sips, and handed it to a person next to him. The man drank a few more sips, and the bowl of water was gone. Yun Xue poured out another bowl and gave it to Qian Mingyuan in front.

"Don't say it, you're dexterous enough, I look like a tanuki. Xiaoyu, you seem to be born on the river, and you are the material for this business. Qian Mingyuan couldn't help but admire when he saw Yun Xue's skills. Dong Lao's vision is really good, you will definitely be like Dong Lao in the future. ”

Yun Xue smiled, didn't say anything, turned around and went to bring water to others. I saw that she was holding things in both hands, but walking between the wooden rafts, as if walking on the ground, the undulating waves under her feet could not affect her pace at all.

Qian Mingyuan shook his head, if this Xiaoyu is a man, he will dare to let Xiaoyu be the leader next year if he only goes back to the river row this time. It's a pity, she's a girl after all, and the wooden row industry is not suitable for her after all. Qian Mingyuan felt pity in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh.

At noon, Yun Xue cooked a meal in the flower shed, and then everyone took turns to eat. In the evening, the wooden platoon docked outside the county seat of Changbai County. Qian Mingyuan took a few people and went to the city to buy things. And Yunxue is cooking on the shore and serving everyone's food and drink. Fortunately, she was used to all these jobs in the mountains, but she didn't feel any better. It's just that the pot is a little small, and she simmered two pots of rice to eat.

At night, everyone slept in the flower shed. A bed-like thing was specially built with wooden planks, and people can sleep with their luggage. Normally, this shed can sleep three or four people, but where is Yunxue willing to sleep with others? Fortunately, Qian Mingyuan and Sun Changhai both knew it, so they let her sleep by herself.

Yunxue lay on the plank, and the early spring night was cold and oppressive. Even if you sleep under the covers, you don't feel the heat. She could only curl up in a ball and wrap the quilt all over her body, and she didn't know how long it took before she fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Yun Xue hurriedly got up to cook. Naturally, it is impossible to steam the cakes, it is still rice, and the dishes are just pickles, and everyone still eats them very fragrantly. After breakfast, they moved on again. Yun Xue didn't dare to drink water, she was worried that if she drank water, she wouldn't be able to solve it on the wooden raft at that time. This is not something that can be solved in the mountains, just run to the back of any bush. On top of the wooden row, when people look up, they can see what you are doing. When the time comes, how will she explain to others that she is squatting? This is not clear to tell people, is she a woman?

So, Yun Xue's hard days began, she really rarely drank water during the day, that is, at night, she could only drink some water. In order not to reveal his identity, there is really no way.

On the third day of rafting, Jiang Pai passed in front of the fifteen ditches. Yun Zhen and Yun Lin had heard their father say it before. So on this day, I stood by the river and waited. In the distance, they saw a wooden raft coming upstream, and several children were very excited. "Big brother, look at the top of the house, they are all wearing the same clothes, where can we tell which one is the eldest sister?" Yunni said with a pout.

"It's okay if the eldest sister can see us, we can't shout nonsense, it's not good to let people know that she is a woman when the time comes." Yun Lin patted his sister's shoulder and said with a smile.

Yun Ni could only pout and nodded reluctantly. She also understands that since ancient times, there have been few women. The eldest sister can go to the river row, and someone will take care of her, if her identity is exposed, she will have to be thrown down if she doesn't get it right.

The river row was getting closer and closer, and Yun Zhen saw that in the middle position, there was a person who was slightly shorter and was looking over this way. He whispered, "Big sister, look at the one in the middle, it's a little short, that's the big sister." ”

Yun Ni stared at it, and sure enough, the figure looked like the eldest sister. She waved her hand towards Jiang Pai, but she couldn't help but shout.

Yun Xue was standing on top of the river row, looking this way, this was her hometown, how could she not look at it? But I didn't expect that there were several of my younger brothers and sisters standing by the river. They're waving at themselves. Yun Xue felt that her eyes were a little uncomfortable, and there seemed to be something blocking her throat. She could only wave her hand at the people on the shore.

The river has been flowing forward, and the river row has followed the water, and it has also crossed the sight of Yunlin and others in an instant, and drifted into the distance. Yunni looked at the back of the eldest sister who was far away, threw herself into the arms of the eldest brother, and cried bitterly.

"Okay, don't cry. If the eldest sister knew about you, she would be sad. Yunlin put his arm around his sister's shoulders and comforted him softly. Next year, we will definitely not allow the eldest sister to go to the platoon again, no matter whether she is poor or rich in the future, we will not let the eldest sister suffer anymore. ”

Yunni sniffed and looked up. "Okay, the eldest brother has to talk about it, our family is tired to death, and I won't let the eldest sister suffer this crime in the future."

Yun Xue stood on top of the wooden raft, holding the big wooden block in front of her with both hands. She didn't dare to look back, for fear that she would cry as soon as she turned around.

"Xiaoyu, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry, just the two of us here." Zheng Song whispered beside Yun Xue.

Yun Xue shook her head, calmed down her emotions, and then pulled out a smile. "It's okay, Brother Zhengsong, I'm fine. Let's take a good look at the river, from here, the river is not calm. "Between the fifteen and fourteen ditches, there is a place called the threshold post, which is very dangerous, and they must always pay attention to it.
