"Hey, Wu boy, stop being a lazy ass! After this trip, I'll earn enough money to marry you a fat bitch!"
A group of trackers swarmed in front of Xiao Han's boat, laughing loudly with each other while quickly tying ropes to the boat.
They have done this kind of work countless times in the past two days and are already familiar with it.
Although the boat this time was larger than the previous ones, no one thought about looking elsewhere because of the smooth sailing in the past two days.
Even the most stable old trackers were happily watching these young men busy at work, and at the same time thinking in their minds how to spend the money this time.
Well, you can buy a flowery dress for your little granddaughter, and a silver ring for the old lady. If you still have some extra, buy a pot of soju, and invite some old friends to your home to have a couple of cups together!
As for the son? Roll the ball! If you want to spend money, earn it yourself!
Just like this, in everyone's ardent fantasy, the big ship slowly sailed away from the gentle slope, and was pulled upstream by the thick rope.
Because Xiao Han's ship is really too big, this fiber-drawing is still a little different from the previous grain ships.
In the past, those large grain ships used dozens of trackers, while the small ones only used a dozen people, but this big ship has more than a hundred people working together!
On the mountain road plank road by the river, there are densely packed with strong trackers! The fiber ropes spanning the water like spider webs gradually converge into a dozen main ropes, which firmly tie the big boats in the rapids, no matter how the tumbling Yellow River water
Even the turbulence could not wash away the ship at all.
"One, two, three, hey!"
The scene of everyone working hard together is always the most touching!
Listening to the beat shouted by the tracker in front, Xiao Han on the boat clung to the railing of the boat, while his eyes were fixed on the three stone pillars in front of him that were high above the water.
Of these three stone pillars, the main pillar on the left is the largest!
In the middle is Zhang Gongdao, and on the right is the dressing table!
Each name seems more elegant than the last, but in reality each one is more deadly than the last!
The Yellow River flows through the upper reaches and is divided into three streams by two stone islands!
Three streams of water rushed down, merged into one stream in the narrow channel, and finally hit the three stone pillars hard!
In an instant, the waves shook the sky, and the turbid waves emptied, which was thrilling! This is the most dangerous place on the Yellow River from Tongguan down, and it is not one of the most dangerous places!
The big ship swayed past the pillar stone, so close that you could almost reach out and touch this huge stone that had stood for who knows how many years.
Lao Fan carefully controlled the rudder, but in the cold weather, his head was covered with sweat!
Now, the lives of an entire boatload of people were in his hands, and there was no room for him not to be nervous!
"Sail, half sail!"
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. I don’t know how long it took, but the big ship finally passed the pillar stone. Lao Fan wiped his sweat vigorously and shouted loudly! Immediately, sailors rushed up to raise the sail.
.
With the help of the wind, the ship's forward speed instantly accelerated a lot.
"Master Marquis, there are three gates ahead. As long as we pass through the gate, we can go all the way to Tongguan!" Opening his chapped lips, Lao Fan laughed and said to Xiao Han.
"Okay!" Xiao Han heard Lao Fan's voice, looked at the three stone islands receding behind him, and nodded heavily!
He also knew that the pillar stone on this road was the most dangerous. As long as he passed it, the rest was to pass through the door step by step, and the danger would be greatly reduced.
"When we arrive at Tongguan, we will enter Guangtong Canal. The next stop will be Chang'an!"
Imagining that he was about to bring this huge fleet to Chang'an safely, Xiao Han couldn't help but get excited even though he had pretended to be calm before!
With this success, countless people will surely see the value of this route again. It is only a matter of time before Chang'an Bashui and Baifan Qiandao!
Holding on to the railing in front of him, Xiao Han could not help but think of the scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty in his mind. Unfortunately, he forgot that there is another saying in this world, which is called extreme happiness leading to sorrow!
"Boom..."
As a wave hit, a thin and crisp sound immediately came from the front of the ship. The sound was not loud, but it was extremely clear!
"what sound!"
Hearing this strange noise, Lao Fan, who had been smiling just now, suddenly changed his face!
But before anyone could answer, the boat beneath me trembled violently, and then someone on the shore was heard shouting: "No! The rope is broken!"
Next, under Xiao Han's horrified eyes and Old Duan's horrified roar, the ship instantly changed from forward to backward! And the speed was getting faster and faster, and it hit the mainstay stone!
————
Previously, on the shore.
Seeing that the big ship had passed the most difficult and dangerous place, the trackers breathed a sigh of relief and smiled a little on their faces. Suddenly, one of the ropes broke into two pieces without any warning!
Moreover, the short rope is still the main rope!
As soon as it broke, the seven or eight people at the end who were responsible for pulling it were instantly unable to hold back their strength! Under this huge force, the broken rope was thrown back to the mountain road, and a man who couldn't dodge was whipped to death on the spot.
Vomiting blood, he fainted and died on the side!
"Hold on! Hold on! Put the rope on the stake!"
When the leader of the trackers at the front saw this scene, his eyes were split open immediately! He shouted and asked those people to put the ropes in their hands into the wooden stakes that had been prepared on the plank road!
However, before the trackers could follow suit, the ropes were like pushed dominoes, and several more broke in the blink of an eye!
In an instant, there were loud sounds flying everywhere on the river. The big boat in the center of the river made a terrifying sound for a while, and fell backwards dragging the remaining rope!
"what happened!"
"No! The boat is going out of control!"
There was a chorus of exclamations!
The tracker leader's eyes were almost bleeding!
"Calm down! Quickly set the stake head! Quickly!"
He roared and ran to the middle of the team, trying to hold the big ship with the remaining ropes, but several main ropes were broken one after another. How could the remaining ropes hold such a big ship?
Some people who were too late to put the ropes on the pile heads were dragged downstream like chickens! And the ropes that had been tied to the piles were also struggling to hold up, either breaking or destroying the piles.
Also pull it off directly!
In just the blink of an eye, the huge hull was completely freed from its restraints, carrying several strands of fiber ropes with it, flowing down the river, and crashing straight into the mainstay!
"The Water Dragon King is recruiting people, the Water Dragon King is recruiting people!"
When the last rope broke! All the trackers on the plank road stared blankly, like arrows from the string, rushing towards the main ship, muttering to themselves!
The elderly tracker leader fell weakly to the ground, with tears streaming down his face. Beside him, a blood-stained cable had a broken section that was half smooth and half uneven!
