Chapter 695 Arrival
In winter, it takes forty-five minutes to sail from Jiachuan to Rongshan, but in summer, even without an engine, Zhou Zhi and the others have already passed the small town of Rongshan.
After the water level rose, the waterline was very close to Rongshan Town. It used to take more than ten minutes to enter the town after disembarking, but now it only takes three to five minutes, and the pier has been installed directly. Climb up the stone stairs on Hejie outside the town.
There are old houses on both sides here. The shadows of the eaves cover the old street, which is very cool and turns into a lively vegetable market.
“There are children floating in the river!” Someone shouted, which immediately shocked the whole market. Everyone flocked to the river to watch this weird raft and the children on it.
Everyone also commented that they were not interested in boys, but they were concerned about Liang Hong.
“Whose daughter is this?”
“I don’t know her. She’s not from our town, right?”
“That’s not possible, otherwise my parents will give me a good beating. "Dun."
"A pretty girl, but she's too tanned."
"You have a good figure, and you can tell he's always working hard."
"My parents are willing to give up..." As he spoke, the conversation turned to criticizing Lao Liang.
Liang Hong and the fellow villagers were separated by the width of a backwater belt, so of course they couldn't hear her. She excitedly waved to the town and shouted: "Hello!"
The folks were a little bit Embarrassed, and feeling that it would be impolite not to reply, I hesitantly raised my hand and waved. The rhythm was not consistent, and it lost the momentum of Sister Hong.
After passing Rongshan, it is not far from Zhongba.
At this point, Jiangliu left the town that still had some modern atmosphere and entered the desolate primitive.
It is not that there are no people in this primitive environment. Almost every stream that flows into the Yangtze River has fishing boats at the entrance, or there are fishmen on the shore, fishing there.
The rocky beach that could be seen all the way last year has disappeared, and has all sunk underwater. Now the waterline is directly submerged into the soil covered by wire grass, and not far up is the dense bamboo forest.
Wait until you pass the Zhongba
“There!” Liang Hong stood up from the raft and used her outstanding balance ability to stand on the tops of two logs: “Where is the Zhongba? ! We’re here!”
The Yangtze River is now divided into the Inner River and the Outer River. Now the width of the Inner River has become similar to the width of the Outer River in winter. The area of the entire Zhongba Island has been reduced by one-third, and the huge turtle stone in front of the island has also disappeared. .
Yang He struck the long wooden stick horizontally, used the gravity balance to easily control it to pull the river surface, and adjusted the direction to drive towards the head of the island.
"No, no, no, no." Zhou Zhi quickly waved his hand: "When we enter the Neijiang River, let's go ashore from the guest house. We have to walk a lot less."
"Yes, I'll do it." Fang Wenyu said from Yang He took the "Chang Peng" in his hand: " Let’s go and give Xueshan and the others a surprise.”
As he spoke, the raft slid into the waterway along the edge of the island. Because the reference objects were closer, the scenery on both sides swept back quickly, and it seemed that the speed of the water suddenly changed. It became more turbulent.
Fang Wenyu controlled the raft to get as close to the island as possible, but found that the raft was somewhat uncontrollable.
“Get into the water!” Zhou Zhi rolled over from the raft into the water and began to push the raft towards the shore.
The friends all followed suit and started pushing the raft into the water.
The raft finally got close to the riverside, and everyone burst out laughing after their soles could touch the underwater grass bottom.
No one has experienced the situation just now, so it is impossible not to be nervous at all.
The one who was most frightened was of course Wei Fei, who was still stuck on the tire and dared not get off. No one was in a hurry to get ashore, so they just held the raft and floated along the bamboo forest to the back of a blue brick and blue-tiled house with a stone roof foundation, and then pushed the raft ashore.
Wei Fei didn’t stand up in shock until his butt hit the ground. Then he found that his feet were soft, so he sat down again in the rushing water, stretched out his hand to scratch Zhou Zhi, Shouting heartbreakingly: "Help--"
"Shut up!" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but become furious and pulled Wei Fei up: "The water is just over the knees, why don't you?"
"Oh." Fang Wenyu spread his hands to express regret. : "It must have been exposed now."
Sure enough, just as Zhou Zhi and the others were dragging the raft ashore, there were footsteps in the bamboo forest path, and a thick voice: "Who?!"
Following Jiang Hongxing's strong body from the bamboo forest appeared in a flash, followed by several girls.
Feng Xueshan spat as soon as she saw it: "Look, you guys, I'm just going to tell them that they have something wrong?!"
The remaining three women couldn't help but blush, and they even spoke for these people on the boat. Good things to say, how could this be?
“Elbow?!” Jiang Hongxing was dumbfounded when he saw a few naked pigs: “Did you float down? Oh, and there is a girl! Why don’t you do this to save ship money?! ”
"Hello, Uncle Jiang! We see you are here!" Zhou Zhi greeted Jiang Hongxing: "I brought you three bottles of wine. It's not good wine, but it was brought back from the capital. It also has the name of uncle. Do you think it's a coincidence? ”
“Really? I Look..." Jiang Hongxing took the bottle and smiled brightly: "Hey, it's true! The three characters at the end are really weird."
After that, he raised his face again: "Uncle. I have to criticize you a few words. This river is not for fun. You just floated down Jiachuan with a few logs and tires, and you are really brave in such a big water!"
"Just this time." Zhou Zhi smiled. Haha: "Isn't this learning the spirit of long drifting?"
The spirit of long drifting refers to the feat of rafting the Yangtze River for the first time in 1985. A group of inexperienced young people, inspired by patriotism, determined to Complete the entire Yangtze River rafting trip before foreigners do.
Yao Maoshu, who went first, died, but under his influence, two teams, Zhongke Team and Luoyang Team, were soon organized again.
At that time, the news followed the entire process and reported that when the two teams drifted together on Yeba Beach, three of the eight team members were killed.
While crossing the Zhonghu Leaping Gorge, another team member and a reporter died.
Fortunately, the sealing ship failed to intercept and drifted across the Lower Tiger Leaping Gorge, completing the two tasks at once.
Later on, another team member encountered misfortune at Baihe Beach and Zhamutan in the Jinsha River.
After entering the stable watershed, the task became easier.
A total of eleven people were sacrificed in the entire feat. Together with the women's volleyball team's five consecutive championships, it greatly inspired the patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people at that time.
Zhou Zhi was still young at the time, but the third sister was already a junior high school student. When she read the news and learned that the Changdiao team was about to pass through Manzhou, she and her classmates ran to Qiba for a picnic.
When the long drifting team passed by, they invited the team members to come ashore to have dinner with them and take photos. They spent a happy and happy day and came back to chat with Zhou Zhi for several days.
However, the relevant departments quickly realized the problem and immediately issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of River Rafting Activities", no longer promoting such behavior.
But that doesn't stop Zhou Zhi from using it as an excuse for action now.
