If you can have a wonderful life, who would want to become a female Vajra with cracked teeth?
Sometimes we have no choice but to make a choice. When we lose the right to choose, using the courage to give it a try is helpless and forced. At least you are still alive.
Before leaving, Na Jintang took out a few banknotes and handed them to Mrs. Qi, saying: "If you don't spend the money lavishly, it will only be enough for you in 10 years. After you get outside, you can make a living."
, you can also make a living.”
The seventh concubine, with tears in her eyes, accepted the banknotes, nodded and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
We left immediately.
We arrived at the river without any hindrance. This was the first hurdle we had to go through.
Then Jintang pulled out a bamboo raft from the tree. I was surprised and asked him: "How did you know there was a bamboo raft there?"
This seems to be a newly made bamboo raft. This bamboo raft is tightly tied with ropes as thick as wooden barrels. It is more than one meter wide and four to five meters long. It also has a pair of new paddle boards made by Dare, which are connected with ropes to carry the load.
On top of the bamboo raft.
Everything seems to be ready.
He replied to me calmly: "I came here to do it last night. Hurry up and get down to the river." He also looked at the sky, but in fact the sky was not visible at all. Your thick leaves had covered the sky, and the whole grove was gloomy.
of a piece.
Without further ado, we must hurry up and get you across the river successfully before the new flood peak comes.
Na Jintang put the bamboo raft under the water. He took the first seat first, followed by me, and then the sixth concubine and the seventh concubine. After we all successfully boarded, we immediately waved our oars to break through the waves, like those on the shore.
Rush past.
The river was fast, the waves were turbid, and it rushed from the upper stream. The four of us worked together and made consistent movements. We tried our best and exerted all our strength, and the little one was able to move forward in a balanced way. I glanced at the other side, and there were still some
Distance. The river surface, which is more than 100 meters wide, does not appear to be wide when viewed from above. However, when we reached the bamboo raft and looked at it, we felt that it was vast and vast, as if it had suddenly doubled in size.
After struggling desperately for more than ten minutes, we still failed to reach the center, and the bamboo raft had been pushed a hundred meters away from the route by the flood. If we were going at this speed, we were originally scheduled to be on the other side, and the plan to dock would be very difficult.
Difficult to achieve.
The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and good fortune. At this time, Na Jintang frowned and watched the haze spread above.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and darkness and low pressure suddenly come quietly towards us. Suddenly, the clouds split, and flames pierced the sky. The wind blew strong, the black shadows rolled, and the trees in the forest swayed. Then there was a thunderbolt.
The sound was earth-shattering, the mountains darkened, and in the chaotic chaos, the strong wind was noisy, the woods were howling, and beast-like howls were heard, and suddenly hail-like raindrops poured down all over the face. This is the temper of the weather in Niutoushan.
If you are so arrogant, you will change at your will.
Amid the roar of the storm, we did not dare to panic or give up. Although none of us had experienced such severe weather as Niutoushan, we had never encountered such a dangerous conclusion against nature. At the critical moment of life and death,
, I looked back and saw the Sixth Aunt and the Seventh Aunt. They gritted their teeth and waved their paddleboards vigorously. Their firm eyes inspired me. He worked harder than us. They had no way to turn back.
Biting her lip, she had no choice but to keep moving forward.
Who doesn’t want a gorgeous and beautiful life, and who is willing to be these female Vajras? In them, I see a vitality and resilience to live! Although their faces have been wet by the rain, they can no longer tell which ones are.
Rain, which are tears? And which are sweat?
Yes, at the critical moment of life and death, the only thing we can do is grit our teeth, move forward, and fight against death to the maximum extent. I can feel that the four of us have the same mind.
We paddled with more strength, clenched our steel teeth one by one, stared wide open, and let the rainwater flow on our faces like a waterfall. I looked at the silent Jintang in front, his silence is our core strength
, the muscles bulged, and the strong arms led us to paddle rhythmically. He was used to pass it on to each of us. Each of us stared at his body and roared hard: "One...two...three"
I was very touched. He not only gave us this kind of spiritual strength, he also conveyed a hope of living.
It seemed that the rain in Niutoushan came and went quickly. Fortunately, the heavy rain just fell nearby and did not form a flood peak. Then we continued to brave the wind and rain and rowed forward with determination. Suddenly, we jumped out.
A wave hit us, and our bamboo raft immediately staggered into the wave valley. At this critical moment, Na Jintang shouted loudly: "Paddle quickly! Hold on!"
We were swaying in the rapids, and the paddleboards in our hands almost fell off several times, but we worked hard and worked together to cross the rapids in the middle of the river. The four of us secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
We are getting closer and closer to the other shore, about less than 10 meters. If we insist on rowing at this speed, we should reach the shore soon.
But just when we were rejoicing, we never expected that there would be another huge wave somewhere, rushing toward our bamboo rafts aggressively. The flood peak in the upper reaches finally came over with overwhelming force, because this
At that time, the back was narrow again, and we were about to reach the shore, but this torrent came...
We were all stunned, looking at the rapids, getting closer and closer in the distance, and I couldn't help but feel panic rising in my throat.
Well, it can only be a disaster! No one can escape this torrent!
It's too late, but it's soon. Na Jintang turned his head and yelled at us: "Hurry up and tie the rope around your waist, hold on to the rope tightly, and don't let go with one hand." My heart was full.
Anxious, not knowing if I can get through this, I am really getting closer and closer to the roaring devil and feel scared.
I turned around and saw the Sixth Aunt and the Seventh Aunt, who were hurriedly tying the rope around their waists. Jintang also hurriedly helped me check the rope on my body, and he shouted loudly: "
Hold on! Don't be afraid, hold on to the rope!" He was racing against time, trying his best to tell us.
The most reluctant thing is finally going to happen.
The flood waves were just approaching, and our bamboo raft jolted suddenly, and suddenly we were buried at the bottom of the wave. Just because everyone quickly grasped the reins and gritted their teeth and refused to let go, the bamboo raft finally dragged us under the strong buoyancy.
Out of the water. But at this time, it was too late to adjust the combined force of paddling, which meant that our paddling rhythm had been disrupted. The bamboo raft immediately lost control, and we quickly spun on the river at high speed.
What was even more painful was that our bamboo raft, driven by the flood, was flying down like a wild horse that had lost its reins. Na Jintang shouted in the midst of his efforts: "Don't panic, don't panic, rhythm, pay attention to the rhythm, one, two, three!"
"
I don’t know what the two concubines were thinking. I felt a little desperate inside. Before I could have any more room to think, the rapids pushed us towards the east bank. The bamboo raft was like a bow and arrow.
, hurriedly threw us onto a rock on the shore.
There was a scream of "whoosh", and we all called out nervously. Under the action of strong inertial force, the four of us shot at the stone like darts.
At this time, I felt very scared. If the four of us hadn't grabbed the rope and were not thrown off the hard stone, this kind of violence would have broken the rope, and the bamboo raft would have been hit hard by that time.
Falling apart!
Under the action of inertial force, the four of us returned to the water. Fortunately, the torrent of air had gone away by this time. When we fell into the water, the water was relatively gentle. We clung to the broken bamboo raft. It was really a disaster.
If you don't die, you will be blessed.
At that time, I felt that I had basically lost consciousness, completely out of a dying instinct. I was holding those broken bamboo rafts, half floating, half sinking, and drifting with the tide.
In a daze, I felt a powerful arm pulling me. This silent arm kept rowing me to the shore. I saw that there was a piece of green in front of my dad, and bamboo pieces were drifting here.
He had to yell at me: "Mao Jiujiu, open your eyes and wake up quickly! Now grab these vines and climb up along the vines! I will rescue them two right away!" I didn't even have time!
Nodding, he put a thick vine into my hand.
In less than a moment, he wanted to pull the Sixth Aunt and the Seventh Aunt over. I saw the two of them in a daze. They seemed to be in better condition than me. This was their desire for life.
This new desire makes them even more determined to survive.
All four of us clung to the green vines. I used all my strength to cling to three of them. The climber climbed to the land. As soon as his body touched the ground, he collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
Of course, the two of them were not much better. When they climbed up, they were panting like cows and had no room to speak. They lay flat on the ground and kept breathing heavily. The balance they adjusted was just now
That terrible scene.
What a blessing!
If we had not tied the rope to our bodies, the huge torrent would have swatted us off the rocks on the shore like flies, and by then we would have died without a burial place.
No power can escape that caring pat!
I recalled the terrible scene just now with lingering fear. It was really the terrible Niutoushan. It turns out that the savages and the villagers have designated this place as a peaceful area. It turns out that they all know that there is nothing to fight for in this territory? It’s just that God won’t let you.
Go fight for it. If you can survive here, you can use natural gas.
The mysterious weather, intricate mountain roads, and forests teeming with wild beasts are all unsuitable for human habitation.
But we have taken the first step forward, and there is no way back except moving forward. Najintang asked each of us to check whether there were any injuries on our bodies. Fortunately, the scratches on each of us were not serious.
obstacle.
If there are no big obstacles, we must move forward quickly. I didn't even notice the panic in Aunt Six's eyes. Her feet were a little worn when she walked, and her speed obviously slowed down. I walked to her and said, "Yes." Isn’t it injured somewhere?”
She shook her head and said, "It's nothing. I just cut my foot. We can't waste any more time now. Let's go quickly."
I confirmed again: "Are you sure you're okay? I can carry you."
She insisted: "I will tell you when I can't hold on anymore. The seventh aunt also came over and helped her: "Let's go quickly, I will support her. It was getting dark, and the night in Niutoushan is the most beautiful. It's scary. I've lived here for more than ten years. Once it's nighttime, Gang Leader Cao won't allow us to go out anymore, because the weather here is terrible, but at night, the world of beasts belongs to them. It's really the scariest place here. They are wild beasts, so we never go out at night. The village gates will be tightly closed, and gongs and holes will be beaten regularly to drive away the wild beasts. Over the years, many brothers have died from these wild beasts, so we We must move quickly to avoid these beasts."
Na Jintang nodded and said, "There's still enough time."
