Chapter Thirty-Nine: Water Horror

Early the next morning, Lin Yi finished washing, ate something with everyone, and helped set up the car. Eating and living for nothing and not working, he thinks he can't do it.

When the big car left the courtyard gate, I found that there were two more cars, and the accompanying number increased to more than 20 people.

Yuan Fengming said hello to Che Haitong Lin and went to get busy. He still followed the two dogs, and the group of carriages and horses walked out of the city.

Lin Yi sat in the car and saw that the sky was beginning to dawn, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street, and the direction of the convoy should be east. I don't know how many city gates there are in this Siping county, presumably this is another city gate.

After a short time, the convoy arrived at the city gate. Lin Yi sat in front of the car, having nothing to do, looking at the difference between this door and the other door. As the convoy walked out of the city gates, he glanced back with a strange expression.

I heard Ergouzi say yesterday that Siping is still 400 miles away from Qincheng. Judging from the pace of the convoy, how many days will it take? Lin Yi thought in his heart. Unexpectedly, more than ten miles out of the city, the convoy came to a ferry port and stopped. Busy asking the second dog the reason, he realized that the road to Qincheng Mountain is rugged and difficult, and it is much more convenient to take the waterway with the goods.

The ferry in front of him is located in the upper reaches of the Qin River. Qinshui is thousands of miles long, traversing many states and counties in the Shang Kingdom, and has a wide river basin. It is an important river in the northwest of Dashang. The Qin water flows through Siping, the river is about ten zhang wide, the water flow slows down, and to Qincheng, there are several rapids and rapids, and there must be experienced crew management to keep the boat safe.

If you don't go out, where can you know this, travel thousands of miles, and know the world! What kind of beginning will Yang Fan have here? Standing on the wharf, seeing the river flowing slowly eastward, Lin Yi's mood was up and down!

"Xiao Yi, what's the matter? I haven't been on a boat! Hehe!" Che Hai walked over laughing and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.

Lin Yi turned around and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's the first time I've gone far away, let alone take a boat!" He didn't think much of Che Hai's big slap. From cutting hair and washing the marrow to today's qi cultivation, the body has long been different from the past, and the strength of the meridians and flesh is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Seeing Lin Yi standing still, Che Hai also noticed something unusual, he couldn't think of it, he didn't care, he laughed and said: "Riding a boat has the fun of taking a boat!" After speaking, he went to beckon everyone to load the boat.

With the concerted efforts of the dart board, the cargo was soon loaded onto two open wooden boats. The ship is about four zhang long and one zhang wide, and after the goods are loaded, the ship is not crowded, and can still carry more than ten people. The dart board left a few people to take care of the vehicles and horses, and the remaining fifteen or sixteen people were divided into two boats.

A string of crispy whips exploded on the pier, and after the boatmen offered incense and three animals, the two wooden boats slowly left the shore and headed east.

The two sides of the river are connected with mountains, heavy rocks are stacked, and the cliffs are lined up, stretching continuously. A piece of Qin water goes east, and the soup is hot.

The boat is in the water, and the people are in the painting.

On both sides of the Qinshui River in front of Lin Yiyi, there are stacked beautiful peaks, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, the trees are grandiose, the autumn colors are dyed, the birds and apes are roaring from time to time, and the empty valley is sounding, and it is a hundred turns for a long time.

The foreman in front of him held a long penny, tapped the water, pulled up a high-pitched and rich voice, and a mountain song sounded sonorously on the water.

"Floating rivers and seas do not sink, swimming is turbid and uncomplaining. How can it be that the whole body is generalized, but it is relied on to keep the ......"

The beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, the simple mountain songs, make people's hearts sway.

The two ships were seven or eight feet apart, staggered back and forth. Che Hai and Yuan Fengming had previously invited Lin to sail with them, but Lin suddenly refused. Maybe it's not a bad thing to separate the boat with the two of them.

Lin Yi had seven people on the boat, and two other foremen were in charge of the front and rear. The rest of the people on the boat are standing or sitting, which is very comfortable. The two dogs leaned on a pile of goods, without the hard work of catching the car, and happily crossed their legs, enjoying the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait.

Although Lin Yi was on a boat for the first time and felt fresh everywhere, he stood alone at the front of the boat, silently looking ahead.

On the boat in front, Yuan Fengming's red clothes are very eye-catching, like a touch of red in a landscape painting. Che Hai stood on the bow of the boat, pointing and laughing with everyone.

"Brother Lin, come and sit down!"

Lin Yi looked back, smiled at the second dog, and came to his side. When he saw the lower end of the mast on the side, the bamboo sail folded, he sat on the board with his back on his back.

"It's also fast to go down the river, and it's much smoother than the land route!" Lin Yi said casually.

Ergouzi's toes swayed, his hands pillowed the back of his head, and he smiled pleasantly: "Siping to Qincheng is four hundred miles, and you have to go over the mountains and mountains by land, and don't think of places without seven or eight days." And walking this Qinshui, going straight downstream, the boat does not open sails, people do not move the pulp, as long as it takes a day and a night to reach Qincheng, do you say it is smooth or not?"

He smiled, saw Lin nodded, and said, "However, it's not quite!" Seeing that the other party was staring at him in a daze, he smiled proudly: "Brother Lin doesn't go far away!

Lin Yi smiled, these two dogs have been away all the year round, and their knowledge is naturally stronger than their own, so they are speechless and wait for the following.

"There are bandits in the mountains, there are thieves on the roads, and there are naturally thieves on the water. And above the water thieves, there are even more gangs like the Pai Gang. The platoon gang controls the waterway, and it has its own rules of the rivers and lakes, but it is easy to talk. But the water thieves can't be guarded against......"

"Since the Pai Gang controls the waterway, they must want to be the only one, why are there still water thieves?" Lin Yi wondered in his heart and said.

The second dog shook his head and said secretly, the other party is not very old, and he looks calm, but he doesn't know anything about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. He moved his body, put on a posture that he thought he was comfortable, and said unhurriedly in a **hu tone: "There are so many rivers and rivers in the world, how can the Pai Gang monopolize it alone? Not to mention, there are many large and small water sects such as the Canghai Gang! However, this section of Qin Shui is closer to the Pai Gang, and everyone sells face to him on weekdays, and no one wants to easily offend the Jianghu sect. And Qinshui is thousands of miles, there are countless diversions, there are many boats on the water, and the cargo property arouses jealousy, so there are people who make up their minds. This group of people, several, dozens, or dozens of people, gathered together to rob passing ships. These men are all outstanding in water kung fu, brave and ruthless, come and go without a trace, run away when they rob, and hide when they run. The Pai Gang was also helpless about this, so they could only let it go. ”

"In this way, passing ships can only ask for more blessings for themselves!" Lin Yi said to himself as he looked at Qin Shui, whose water was becoming more and more urgent.

Ergouzi said easily: "The water is turbulent here, even if someone blocks the road, it can be directly knocked over." The speed of the boat itself is extremely fast, and it is impossible to catch up if it cannot be stopped, and I have walked this waterway twice, and there is no danger. Brother, don't worry!"

"Hehe, Xu is thinking too much!" Lin Yi smiled faintly.

"When you're out and about, it's right to have multiple thoughts!" the second dog laughed.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, but he secretly wondered in his heart, couldn't he really stop and catch up?

By mid-afternoon, the river became a little narrower and the boats were much faster.

Lin Yi chatted with the second dog for a long time, and after eating some dry food, he sat in front of the boat and watched the captain support the boat. The foreman is barefoot, standing firmly on the bow of the boat, and tapping the water surface left and right with the penny in his hand, so that the bow of the boat always rushes forward. The same is true of the other shipwright behind the boat, and the two have a tacit understanding.

An hour later, Lin Yi felt that the speed of the boat had increased by two percent, the sound of the roaring water was loud, and the scenery on both sides of the strait quickly retreated.

The foreman shouted violently: "Crossing the dangerous beach, ——!" like a golden cymbal explosion, the hearts of everyone on the boat palpitated. The boatmen behind echoed in their loud voices, their high-pitched voices echoing through the valley.

Everyone on board looked solemn. The second dog leaned on the cargo and wrapped the rope a few times around his body. Seeing Lin Yi looking back, he shouted and said, "Brother, there is a dangerous rapids in front, be careful of being thrown out!"

Lin saw that everyone was also grasping the things that could be attached to the ship, and knowing that what the two dogs said was true, he stood by the mast near the bow of the ship and looked forward.

A few miles ahead, the river narrowed abruptly to five or six zhang wide, and a few large stones abruptly stood in the middle, and there was only a gap between the large stones above the water surface, which was only two zhang wide. The foreman's toes were tightly nailed to the plank, and on the copper-colored limbs, the green tendons were bulging, and the whole body was concentrating and accumulating, but there was no panic in the slightest, so that Lin Yi behind him secretly praised it.

The ears rumbled, the water suddenly surged violently, turning into thunder and rushing, and the waves stirred up patches of snow, like a silver dragon cloud, roaring endlessly.

A few miles of waterway is almost there. The ship in front had rushed straight into the gap between the boulders, and the ship behind followed suit.

The two ships in a line, like guns and arrows, stabbed forward fiercely.

Seeing that the ship in front was about to pass through the gap, a shocking protrusion protruded, and a log fell from behind the boulder.

When everyone in both boats held their breath and stared, they didn't have time to exclaim, as if they could clearly hear the sound of "whew-", and the log was already covered with the roof. The ship in front of it was as fast as a galloping horse, and it broke away from under the logs, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and a scream was faintly heard......

The suddenness of the logs, and the speed of the boat was also extremely fast, and everyone had no time to react, and they were unable to react.

The boats behind arrived one after another, without the slightest respite. The feet of everyone on the boat shook, the bow of the ship suddenly turned up, and the whole ship roared into the air.

The white mist split the face, and Lin Yi was nailed to the boat, not moving at all. The foreman in front was thrown up, screaming miserably, and was gently stretched by his arm and firmly grasped.

"Bang-" The wooden boat slammed and fell back into the water.

"Puff-p-p-" The people on the boat kept falling into the water, shouting everywhere.

Ergouzi's face was black and yellow, and he looked at everything in front of him in a daze. Only himself and Lin Yi in front of him were not thrown off the boat on the entire boat. No, it was like being poured soup on his head and face, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or river water, he wiped his face and widened his eyes to see that Lin Yi was still carrying a person dancing with his hands and feet.

In other words, everyone else on the boat was thrown into the water. If he hadn't used a rope to wrap himself around, the second dog would be in the water by now.

I saw that the rapids were turbulent, and after a mile or two, they gradually eased, and the water surface of more than ten zhang opened up. Without the control of the captain, the hull in front of the ship was skewed horizontally, and it ran aground three or four feet from the shore, and most of the people on the boat also fell into the water, and they kept plopping around.

Before the two dogs could rejoice, they screamed in horror. I saw five or six small boats coming from the shore with two loaves of bread, and one or twenty people on the small boats, with fierce expressions and excited faces, holding weapons in their hands, shouting and shouting.

The person who fell into the water could not dodge, so he was cut down by the person on the boat.

The sword flashed, and with a miserable scream, the water was a red color.

The second dog has cold hands and feet, and his heart is very cold. Gritting his teeth and exhaling deeply, he screamed, ripped off the rope from his body, drew a steel knife, scrambled to his feet, and ran to the side of the ship.

The second dog knew that the boat was surrounded by people who had fallen into the water, and they were caught up by this group, so they didn't want to live. He was in a hurry, his feet slipped, and one of them fell down, and he almost fell out of the boat, but before he could get up again, two more people were cut in the water.

At this time, the big boat under the two dogs moved forward with the current, and had already crossed the stranded boat in front of it, and continued to move forward, leaving behind everyone who had fallen into the water. The two small boats in front of them surrounded them, and the bright weapons shook so that the eyes of the two dogs turned black for a while. He thought to himself that it was all over.

This group of people had a premeditated plan, first set a trap at the big rock, and then fell into the water and stone, and surrounded and strangled. I am watery, and when I see that my life is bleak, my heart is gloomy......
