Chapter 184 Crossing the Beiwu River

Did it get so many plays just after it was released?

It only took a few minutes to pass the review, and now it has more than 20,000 plays, but only a few comments and comments.

Of course, coming early will allow you to see the content of the video earlier than other viewers, but it will also be much less fun. Some people will watch it for hours no matter how much they want to watch it, just to see what netizens post in the comments.

I put away my phone, chatted with Kerry and the others for half an hour, and went to bed early.

I have something big to do tomorrow.

It must be a big deal for Kerry and Han Qi. The two of them came to this place to swim across the Beiwu River. Otherwise, the cold weather and freezing weather are nothing special. Who would want to come here to endure the hardship?

But other Beiwu people related to this project are not so nervous. For them, this is an opportunity to make money. A group of winter swimmers who want to swim across the Beiwu River come every winter. They just need to do a good job.

As for your own business, just use the fastest speed to rescue the athlete when he loses strength.

It was Han Qi's first time here, and he was very confident in himself, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

Kerry chatted with Jeff in the living room. The two of them hit it off, and reluctantly went to bed late at night. He felt that he was a little broken. When he was at home, he always felt that he would make progress every time he came to the North House, and he would be able to do it sooner or later.

Swimmed over.

But once he got here, Kerry no longer had any confidence.

Feeling the freezing temperature here, I can still vividly remember the first two times I swam in the river. The biting chill was so cold that even wearing a swimsuit had no effect at all. It was cold, really cold.

Kerry wasn't sure when he went to bed, but Han Qi woke him up the next day.

Han Qi tilted his head and looked at Kerry for a long time, and said strangely: "How come you haven't woken up yet? What were you talking about last night? I heard you talking before I went to bed."

"It's nothing. Jeff said we would go to his house for a meal when we go back, and I agreed."

Jeff comes back every year actually to visit relatives. He got married the year before last, and his wife is pregnant and has not come with her. In fact, he took Han Qi on this trip to earn some money for milk powder. After all, Han Qi gave generous money. In addition to the car fare, he lived in

Their family also provided a lot of food and accommodation expenses.

Han Qi doesn't have any objection to going to the North House when things are over.

Of course, Kerry will go back to Norway in two days. Han Qi wants to stay in Finland to find some Finnish scenery and food, so the two of them have to stay apart and have a meal in Sala.

The food at Beiwu is indeed a bit unspeakable.

Han Qi thinks the most delicious thing is fish. After catching a live fish and throwing it in the snow behind you, it will become passive in just a few minutes. Then he will take it home and cut the fish into thin slices like wood.

A piece of it tastes particularly good when dipped in sauce.

Han Qi didn't eat much raw food before, but now she is used to the taste of sashimi.

After a simple wash, Han Qi and Kerry came to the Beiwu River. The flow rate of the river was the same as when they saw him yesterday. Even the broken ice on the river had no fluctuations. The ice and snow seemed to pass the time.

It seems to be fixed.

But what is different from yesterday is that two boats more than ten meters long are standing on the ice, and there is also a small boat specially used to rescue people.

Many idle residents of Beiwu also came to join in the fun. They stood by the river and looked at Han Qi and the others. People who knew them would even wave to Han Qi.

Yesterday's speech at the school made many people in the school remember Han Qi, and some people who had not decided what to do in the future were inspired to become architects. Han Qi didn't believe this. He wanted to be an architect when he was a child.

Teacher, if you want to be a scientist or an astronaut, you haven’t done that yet.

Han Qi also waved hello and then looked at Kerry.

"Are you ready?"

"Come on, I've been here a few times. Do I need you to comfort me? Go and get ready. I'll swim first."

Kerry decided to give Han Qi a frontline position.

He felt that Han Qi had a greater chance of swimming over than he did.

After boarding one of the boats, Kerry changed into a set of gelcoats and went to the starting point of the winter swimming. Gelcoats are swimming suits, also called cold-weather suits. They are not essential equipment for winter swimming, but they are worn in official competitions.

Winter clothing, which can effectively prevent the loss of heat in the body.

Han Qi was not in a hurry to change. The clothes he was wearing were very warm. He wanted to wait and see how Kerry was swimming.

Amid the cheers of the onlookers, Kerry jumped in. He is a swimming coach in a comprehensive gymnasium and has a good physique. Winter swimming is his hobby. Sometimes he will participate in some winter swimming competitions and is often in the front.

Five wanders.

The strength is still very strong.

However, whether you can swim across this river still depends on luck and condition.

Kerry entered the water and moved forward quickly like a fish. The water flow formed ripples behind him. Then he quickly splashed the water and swam forward. The water splashed everywhere, and the broken ice around him followed the direction of his swimming.

Spread out on both sides.

This momentum brought Kerry to the middle of the river. Maybe he swam too hard in the first half, and his speed dropped significantly in the second half.

"Come on!!" Han Qi also shouted loudly.

The lifeboat followed Kerry, and the three people on board watched Kerry's current state closely.

If you really wait until the athlete loses strength before rescuing him, your body will definitely be hurt, so they have their own judgment method. If the athlete is still far from the finish line before he loses strength, they will rescue him in advance.

There were about 200 people watching Kerry swim. They watched him swim halfway through, but they couldn't persevere in the end. When he was more than 50 meters away from the finish line, he couldn't swim anymore. He was pulled onto the boat by the lifeguard on the boat and wiped out.

Dry your body and put on a dry quilt.

Kerry looked at the finish line weakly, then looked back at Han Qi.

He wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak loudly now. His lungs hurt when he exerted force, so he could only say "Come on" silently.

Although he didn't swim over, people around Han Qi were also applauding for Kerry.

We are only 40 to 50 meters away from the finish line, which is already a relatively good result in recent years.

This river does not mean that you can swim across it. Countless people have tried over the years, but only a few people have actually swam across it. Moreover, living conditions are getting better and better now, and those who can endure the pain

People are even rarer.

Han Qi also changed into a diving suit that suited him, and put on a hat and glasses.

Back on the shore, Han Qi looked around and found that most of the people he didn't know were unknown. The only people he knew were Jeff's family and a group of children who should be students at the school. Kerry should be resting on the boat at this time.

Forget it, that's it.

Han Qi took a deep breath and jumped into the glacier.

A chill went straight to my brain.

When he got off the boat wearing cold weather clothes, it was actually the coldest at that time, and the temperature of the river would not be higher than the outside anyway. After all, it was an unfrozen river. But when people jumped in, they felt so cold all over their bodies.

When we were surrounded by low-temperature cold water, we realized why we must remember not to fall into the water in winter.

It was too cold, but he couldn't care much at this time. Han Qi could only swim forward with all his strength, with only the other side in his eyes.

The distance of about two hundred meters doesn't seem that far.

Normally, you can reach the other side by swimming in two minutes, but besides being cold in the Beiwu River, Han Qi also discovered another problem.

This water is so thick.

It doesn't look like a river at all, more like flowing oil. The body seems very heavy in this water. It takes more effort than usual to hit the water. This makes Han Qi's physical planning unbalanced. Although it is not like Ke

I ran out of energy halfway through swimming like that, but I could clearly feel my weakness in the second half.

The onlookers saw how fast Han Qi swam before, and they all wondered if someone was going to swim across the river again.

Screams came and went.

In this only small town among thousands of miles of glaciers, they have few activities that can be called activities. Watching the athletes who come to swim every winter is one of the few pastimes they have in their spare time, so they are very excited.

But Han Qi, like the others, slowed down on the last leg of the swim.

Han Qi himself knew what was going on.

Due to the viscosity of the water and the ice, the physical strength left for the final sprint was exhausted in advance. Everyone who swam here should be facing this problem of their own, but even if they knew this situation in advance, how could they be better?

How much?

If you slow down in the first half, you may not be able to swim here, and the water will take away all your body temperature.

Hypothermia is more terrifying than dehydration.

Han Qi thought of Kerry.

Can't I swim there?

This question lingered in his mind for a while, and then Han Qi remembered the purpose of coming here.

He was the first Chinese to swim across this river.

Others can swim from here without a system, but I have been strengthened by the system. The music gave Han Qi a strong lung capacity, and the racing driver gave Han Qi a heart like a water pump. With such a powerful talent, he can't swim even one mile.

The river that passes through?

Han Qi cheered up and started sprinting with the last of his strength.

They all say that swimming is good for fitness, and this is definitely true.

In just two minutes, Han Qi's physical strength was like a big hole being opened in a barrel. With the rapid passage of body temperature, there is almost no physical strength left. But people's potential can be tapped, Han Qi held it in

Swim forward with all your strength, leaving all factors and problems behind.

The ripples behind him gradually expanded, and the speed increased visibly to the naked eye.

The people on the rescue team saw it most clearly. The man's splashing speed was getting weaker and weaker. They thought of waiting another ten seconds to forcefully fish Han Qi out, but they didn't expect that the man still had strength.

Is it really possible to swim there?

This is something that has not happened in several years, and he is a Chinese.

Several members of the rescue team looked at each other, speeding up and following Han Qi to sail forward. However, they could not sail for long. Han Qi was getting closer and closer to the waterfront. It was getting closer and closer, from the previous thirty meters.

, twenty meters, until the last ten meters.

On the big ship, Kerry was wrapped in a quilt and looked at Han Qi excitedly.

"Come on, brother! Go for it!"

The audience is also shouting: "The last few meters!!"

"Come on!"

"Come on! Just hold on and it will be over!"

"Awesome! Chinese people are awesome!"

Han Qi didn't hear anything else. He just heard "Come on" and "Chinese people are awesome" who didn't know who said it. He looked up and found that the dry bank was very close. It was probably only two or three meters away. It was so close that he could almost raise his hand.

Can be touched.

This is also a hurdle. If you are in a good mood, you can stabilize your mood here and continue to swim forward. If you are not angry, you will probably be discouraged here, and you will lose the strength of your anger. Let alone three meters, even if you reach the shore

I don't even have the strength to climb up.

Han Qi was still able to hold his own, lowered his head and continued to rush forward.

He knew that no matter how close he was, he would not win. He would only count when he swam ashore and connect his name with the small town of Beiwu.

Looking up again, Han Qi felt happy.

arrive.

The shore has arrived.

The shore was right in front of him. Those who stood on the shore and cheered for Han Qi looked at the only brave man in four years with surprise. But no one came to help Han Qi to get ashore. He had to swim the whole distance by himself and successfully get ashore to be considered a success.

.

But there should be no problem. Throughout the ages, so many swimmers have found strength when they reach the shore. I have never heard of people who have finished swimming and failed to get ashore.

Han Qi too, after using up his last bit of strength, he lay down on the snow, gasping for air, his heart and lungs were overloaded, and the breath he exhaled flew very far. If you add special effects and change the color, take it out and say this is

Some people probably believe that the dragon is breathing fire.

The rescue team quickly came over to help Han Qi up and wiped him with a towel.

The cold-proof clothes were still very effective. No water flowed into Han Qi's clothes, which was a good thing. However, Han Qi was speechless when wiping his hair.

My hair was frozen quickly after landing on the beach, and fell off as soon as the towel was passed over.

The part covered by the swimming cap was fine, but the parts on the sides were miserable, with a lot of them broken.

After being covered with a quilt, Han Qi looked at the people around him. At this time, the cheers became enthusiastic again. People like Han Qi who swam across this river, no matter what their status was a hundred years ago, as long as they passed this river

, is the king of their Beiwu people.

Although no one follows this tradition for countless years now, their respect for warriors is innate.

Kerry also got off the big ship. As soon as the quilt was thrown away, he hugged Han Qi. He was as generous as his ancestors, the Vikings. Han Qi hugged him and then quickly picked up the quilt and wrapped it up, saying:

"Shall we go change?"

"OK."

Kerry had been watching Han Qi swimming just now and did not change clothes.

But my hair has been blow-dried and looks neat.

Han Qi was very envious.

I guess the first thing I did after returning to Sara was to go to a barber shop to give me a new haircut. I probably had to cut my mid-length hair a lot shorter, or cut off both sides.

Leave the middle one behind?

Han Qi remembered that many people styled their hair like this, and it looked pretty good with a bunch on the top of their head.

Kerry photographed Han Qi twice more and joked: "Why are you so dazed? Leave, or will you stay here and accept the cheers?"

"oh."

I changed my clothes on the boat, and when I came out, I met the aunt who had registered Han Qi before, and there was also a handsome old man.

The aunt introduced: "This is the mayor."

Han Qi and Kerry quickly went to shake hands.

Good news.

Han Qi's name will soon be engraved on the stone tablet and he will become the youngest member of dozens of warriors. In addition, he will have to take pictures again.

In the future, no matter who comes to the North House, when they register, they will see a yellow man holding a medal in a photo of a white man, smiling proudly at the camera.
