Through the wild age

The surface of the river was pitch black at night, but fortunately, the water level in the river was relatively high these days, and they were familiar with the waters in this area.A group of people just drifted along the water in the dark, and sometimes they had to slow down appropriately. The water flow was too fast, and they were worried in the dark.

By the time the sky slowly dawned, they had drifted a long way.The family looked at the familiar terrain next to them, thinking that they had walked for so many days on foot, and now they floated here in one night along the current, and they felt a little emotional.

When they arrived at a place where the river was open and flat, they rested on the shore, and everyone was more or less seasick.

I tidied up the things I brought out carefully. They left too hastily this time, so it was inevitable that there would be some omissions.

Well, very good, the seasonings are quite complete. With so many bottles and cans, these people are not too tired. They really are a group of foodies.The iron pan and shovel were not left behind, and a pair of bowls and chopsticks were not brought, but this is not a big problem.

Let Baya chop two thicker bamboos, and each person will have the right to work as a job.Dila's guys have nothing left, otherwise it would take a long time to make twenty or so wooden bowls.

After sending everyone out to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables, Chen Qiao and Lan Jia started cooking with a fire. They were also in short supply of food now. In order to be able to smell the fragrance of food in the future, Chen Qiao felt that it is better to save some food now.

Make noodles with noodles, one for each person, no one has to be special.A large pot of soup was stewed with some bacon and mushrooms picked, and there were also a lot of stir-fried wild vegetables dug up.

Everyone didn't sleep well the night before, and after dinner everyone went to the boat to squat for a while.The day is still cloudy, and sometimes it rains, but it just refuses to clear up.

Their journey was smooth and windy, and the current was relatively fast, so they didn't open the sails. Moreover, these sailors were not professional enough, so they only dared to slow down along the way, and did not dare to seek speed.

Because most of the dozen or so children they brought were girls, and the only five boys were still very thin, so the position of sailor was basically held by their own family.Fortunately, this time it was going downstream, so it was not too difficult.

After they drifted for more than ten days, the weather began to clear up, and the original laymen were trained to become half-handed sailors, so they slowly increased the speed of the boat.

It's not because they are impatient, but because they are too familiar with this river. The family walked along the river step by step more than a year ago, knowing that some sections of the river are relatively shallow.If they don't take advantage of the heavy rain in spring, their ship may run aground by then, and they will be in trouble.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.They had already tried the convenience of the ship, and it would be too difficult for them to disembark and walk on foot now.

In this way, they sailed during the day, went ashore at night to eat and rest, and continued on the next day after eating.

After walking for about a month and a half, they entered the canyon where the river flows into the sea. They avoided the high tide and carefully steered the boat into the sea.

The group of children only knew how excited they were when they saw the sea, but they didn't know how much danger they would face along the way.Their boats were too small to navigate the depths, and they had no compass or map to stray too far from the shoreline.

It is definitely dangerous to sail like this. There will inevitably be reefs near the coastline. In the current sea area, no one will mark the reefs with buoys, telling you that it is dangerous, please avoid it.

Although there were two spare small wooden boats on board, Chen Qiao still asked everyone to learn how to swim.Little girls are always timid, but this time Chen Qiao didn't show any soft-heartedness. One by one, every morning and night, they all went into the water to learn how to swim.

What gave him the most headache was Baya. This old man was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of going into the water. Recently, it was difficult to find him every morning and evening.Chen Qiao was so angry that Baya refused to compromise this time, so the two started to fight.

Play hide-and-seek twice a day, Baya never gets tired of it, Chen Qiao is full of smoke.You said you are already old, why are you still so naive, can't you be more mature?

They are naturally familiar with this coastline, especially Baya, who walked back and forth three times.

Seeing that they are getting closer and closer to home, the joy in everyone's hearts can't help but start to magnify.

But seeing that they were all at home, an accident still happened.When they were only a day's walk from the village, they hit the rocks.

With such a short distance, it is reasonable for them to disembark and walk home, let alone they still have two small boats.But the time when the rocks hit happened just after high tide, if the ship is not removed from the reef now, what will happen to the ship when the sea recedes?

This ship is a very important property for them, and they must not give it up easily.

Chen Qiao and Maixi have relatively good water quality, so they went into the water to check.Fortunately, the rock that blocked their boat was not too big, and the boat was not damaged. Now they just need to pull the boat back and get it out.

Chen Qiao asked everyone to transfer all the things that could be moved on the boat to the shore by boat.Then he took Macidilla himself, and even Lan Jia went into the water. Of the five boys, only two of the slightly stronger ones went down.

They want to harness the power of the waves.

Such six people, every time the waves came, they pushed the boat hard under the boat.Only a few heads were seen sinking and floating on the sea.

In the end, Chen Qiao became a little anxious. Seeing the time passing by little by little, she didn't know when the tide would start to ebb.He swam down to the boat, put his feet on the rock, and when the waves came, he pushed up hard.After such a few times, the boats were really pushed out by them a lot.

However, she couldn't breathe underwater, and after exerting her strength a few times, Chen Qiao obviously felt that she was a little powerless.Mai Xi and Dila also wanted to go down, but Chen Qiao disagreed desperately, let alone the remaining three women and children...

Baya stood on the shore, he saw Chen Qiao go under the water, every time Chen Qiao surfaced, he also breathed a sigh of relief...

This process was very long, and Baya couldn't bear it anymore, so he cleaned up the things on the boat and rowed over to have a look.He stayed quietly aside, watching Chen Qiao slipping in and out of the water, watching its lips turn white from the sea water, but he was helpless at all.

When the boat was finally pushed off the reef, Chen Qiao didn't even have the energy to be happy, and he climbed into Baya's boat half dead.

Lying on his back on the boat and looking up, Baya's entire face was against the light, only his eyes were still very bright in the darkness.

"Learning to swim?"

"study."

"Are you willing to go into the water?"

"kindness."

"Will you run away in the future?"

"Hehe, I won't run away again." Baya buried his face in Chen Qiao's neck, smelling the faint smell of sea water on his body, um, it was salty, a little sleepy.
