rapids
Da Jinya was seasick and had already vomited to a mess. He was holding on to the cables on the boat and could not move. The boat seemed to be blocked by something in the river. Although the river was fast, the boat couldn't get out.
Under the violent collisions, the boat might capsize at any time. I wanted to go to the bow of the boat to see what was in the river, but the fat man and I had drank a little too much by the river before, and now we were drunk.
, I couldn’t feel any fear, it was as if I had stepped on cotton covers under my feet. In addition, the hull of the ship was tilted, so I took a long step without taking a single step out.
At this time, the boat was hit by the current in the river, and the hull of the boat was knocked sideways. The fat man was thrown to the opposite side of the deck, and his body was propped on the string of the boat. This frightened the fat man out of his drunkenness, and he just turned his head and looked into the river.
The hull of the ship shook again, and the fat man was thrown back. Fortunately, it was a mechanical ship. If it were a wooden ship, it would fall apart after just two collisions like this.
I held on to the cable and the big gold tooth tightly, and in my busy schedule, I asked the fat man if he could see clearly what was in the river.
The fat man cursed and said: "Fuck his grandma, I didn't see clearly. It was as black as a truck and looked like a big old turtle."
No matter what the hell is in the river, if you let it hit you a few times, the boat will capsize. I yelled to the fat man: Fuck that guy.
The fat man shouted: You haven't sobered up yet, where can you help me?
I was indeed a little confused after drinking, and I kept looking for a submachine gun. Only when the fat man told me did I realize that I didn't bring any weapons in the mainland this time.
It was raining heavily, and I was soaked to the skin. I touched the folding engineering shovel hanging on my waist and shouted to the fat man: Take the engineering shovel and chop it up, no matter if it is a tortoise or a fish.
The fat man is not like me who has not sobered up yet. He is still clear-headed and knows that some protective measures must be taken. He grabs the cable and wraps it around my waist twice. My drunkenness is also 80% gone. At this moment,
The ship's hull was slightly stable, and he jumped to the port side where it was hit, and stuck his head out to look into the river.
At this time, it was already dark, and it was raining heavily. The river was pitch black. Through the light of lightning in the dark clouds, I could vaguely see something like a hill in the turbid river water. Half of it was exposed from the water, and most of it was hidden in the water.
In the river, the visibility was limited, and I couldn't tell what it was. When I saw the thing, I just thought it looked like an animal in the water. I couldn't tell whether it was a fish or a turtle.
The huge thing in the river was flying against the current and crashing into our boat. I held on tightly to the cable rope on the boat. When I saw the thing swimming closer, I cut it with the engineer shovel, but the engineer shovel was too short.
Can't hit it at all.
As the hull of the boat was hit again, I was ejected from the boat. The engineer's shovel flew away from my hand and fell into the river. Thanks to the fat man holding on to the rope, I didn't fall into the river together with the engineer's shovel.
This time I was sober from the wine, I broke out in a cold sweat, and my mind was much clearer. The ship's hull shook and I couldn't stand. I bumped into the ship's boss who was huddled up. I took the opportunity to say to the ship's boss: Now the ship's hull is sideways.
Quickly find a way to get the boat around, otherwise your son won't survive.
The boat boss was a very superstitious person. He insisted that the thing in the river was the true form of the river god. He was planning to close his eyes and wait for death. When I mentioned his son, the boat boss remembered that his son was still in the cabin.
, it was all about death anyway, and I risked my life for my son. I struggled to get up and wanted to rush back to the cabin to steer the ship.
The boat boss stood up staggeringly, and suddenly pointed at the river and shouted: No, here we come again.
I looked in the direction of his finger, and now I caught up with the spotlight on the boat. I could see clearly that a dark blue thing was flickering in and out of the river. Sometimes the exposed part looked like a liberation truck.
Big and small, they were circling the boat, trying to knock it over.
At this time, I didn't have time to take a closer look, so I pushed the boat boss and pushed him into the wheelhouse. When the door opened, I just saw a bundle of thin steel pipes among the machine parts installed in the cabin.
At that time, I didn't know where the strength came from, so I asked the fat man to pull out a few steel pipes, use them as javelins, and throw them out one after another at the thing in the river.
In the darkness, it was impossible to tell the hit rate and killing effect. However, after throwing a dozen steel pipes, the monster could no longer be found. It was thought that it had been driven away.
The rain in the sky gradually became lighter again, and the sea was calm for a while. Everyone on the boat escaped death, and their faces turned pale. Big Jinya wrapped himself on the deck with a cable, and was tossed to death by the ups and downs of the ship's hull. Fortunately, he did not suffer from asthma.
, biting the big gold tooth and calling out to Bodhisattva for blessing.
Some things can't be taken for granted, so you have to try your best to think about things in perspective. Although the clothes on your body are soaked through, luckily it has been raining, so you have put your money, documents and other things in a waterproof travel bag in advance.
Although the situation just now was urgent and sudden, Da Jinya kept holding the travel bag in his hand and did not fall into the river. Business people are good at this. They will give up their lives rather than their wealth. Even if the sky falls, they will still keep a close eye on their wallets.
of.
I told Da Jinya that when we arrived at the place soon, we should quickly find a hotel and take a hot bath, otherwise we would definitely fall ill.
The son of the boss of the ship broke his head in the ship's cabin and was bleeding profusely. He had to be rushed to the hospital. Not far ahead was Gutian County, where I was preparing to dock. I looked up and saw in the dark and gloomy distance that there were indeed some things.
With scattered lights, that is the small county town of Gutian we are going to.
However, the situation on the ship had just stabilized when suddenly the ship's hull was hit by a huge force again. This time the force was greater than the previous times, and it was so sudden that we were unable to prepare and fell to the ground.
The boat tilted, and the fat man stretched out his hand to grab the cable. Da Jinya and I hugged his belt and thigh respectively. The fat man shouted: "Pull my pants!"
Before I finished speaking, the hull tilted to the other side. I wanted to get the steel pipe in the cabin, but the hull was shaking so hard that I couldn't get up. Not to mention I couldn't see the surroundings clearly, and my head was already broken even if it wasn't broken.
It's a miracle.
The hull of the ship was rising and falling in the rolling turbid current. The deck and cabin were filled with water. Everyone's clothes were soaked through, and everyone was drowned.
In order to send his son to the hospital for rescue, the boat owner no longer cared whether it was the river god or the dragon king ancestor, and drove the boat to the dock in Gutian County with all his strength.
The Yellow River has nine bends and eighteen bends. After passing Longmen, it turns one bend after another. There is a relatively stable bend in the river near Gutian. As soon as the boat turns into the bend in the river, it will stop chasing the things we are not letting go.
Stop moving forward.
The lights in the front were getting brighter and brighter. The boat boss parked the boat at the edge of the pier. We put our feet on the ground to calm down. The fat man took out the money and paid more to the boat boss according to the previously negotiated price.
The boss of the ship was familiar with the workers on the dock, so he found a few people to help and hurriedly sent his son to the hospital in the county town.
The history of Gutian can be traced back to the Yin and Shang dynasties, and the city walls that remain today are the product of the Ming Dynasty. Although this place has a long history, it is not well-known. The county is also small in size and there are few outsiders.
The three of us, like three drowned rats, asked someone about the route and found a nearby guest house. It was a coincidence that we went there. This guest house only provides hot water showers for one hour a day.
Half an hour left.
After randomly taking a hot shower, the three of us were still healthy. We asked the waiter at the guest house if there was anything to eat. The waiter said they only had noodles, so we ordered a few bowls of noodles and added more chili peppers. We ate them all
Sweat profusely.
I was halfway through eating when the old man in charge of cooking noodles in the guest house’s cafeteria came over to talk to me and asked if we were from Beijing.
When I heard that the old man's accent didn't sound like he was from the Northwest, I casually chatted with him for a few words. The old man's surname was Liu, his hometown was in Tong County, Beijing, and he had lived in Gutian for several decades.
Old Liu asked us how we ended up in such a mess, as if we had just fished it out of the pot.
I recounted our encounter in the Yellow River. What on earth is there in the river that is so powerful? I couldn’t tell whether it was a fish or a turtle, or some other animal. I have never heard of something so big in the Yellow River.
Thanks to the strength of the boat, if it had been a wooden boat, we would probably have fallen into the water and drank soup.
Old Liu Tou said: I have seen this before. The boat people said it was the God of the River. Isn’t the water heavy this year? When the water rises, there will be more strange things in the river. I have lived on the edge of the Yellow River for half my life.
, it was not yet liberated at that time, and I was less than fifteen years old. I had seen this thing with my own eyes at that time, and someone had caught it alive. If you really want to see it, I will tell you a place. If you have a chance, you can go and have a look.
