On a rainy morning, all the crew members of the Bluebird boarded the sailboat, then weighed anchor and set sail, leaving the Fire Tribe on the bank of the river and continuing down the river to explore the waters and places downstream that they were not familiar with.

Many people from the Fire Tribe, including Chen, Huomiao, and Huotan, stood here to see them off, watching the respected Son of God and others board the big ship and ride on such a huge vessel all the way down.

"Go back quickly! Don't get wet in the rain here! Be careful not to get sick!"

On the big ship, Han Cheng, holding a colorful umbrella, spoke loudly to Chen and others who were still on the shore.

Chen nodded vigorously, then led everyone to turn around and head towards the tribe’s residence.

In fact, compared to himself and others, Chen was more worried about the Son of God and his entourage.

They would only be drenched for a while and would soon be able to return to the tribe and take shelter from the wind and rain.

But the Son of God and others have to keep moving forward in such weather.

Chen had advised the Son of God to wait here for a while until the rain stopped and the wind died down before setting off.

But the Son of God did not accept this opinion.

The Son of God said that the tribe will form a large fleet in the future and head eastward.

When we came to the sea, there was nothing to block the view, and the wind and waves were as strong as they could be.

Now we can hide from the wind and rain in the house, but where can we go to hide from the wind and waves on the sea in the future?

Besides, the wind and rain were not strong at this time, so it was good to get wet in the rain in advance and get used to it. It would help all the crew members to adapt to this kind of life earlier...

The words of the Son of God always make sense, are profound and thought-provoking.

After hearing what the Son of God said with his own ears and understanding his intentions, Chen couldn't help but feel such emotion in his heart, and was once again impressed by the Son of God...

Han Cheng insisted on going forward in the rain, not out of willfulness. In addition to what he said to Chen, he also had something to rely on.

When Bo and others were building the sailboat, they had already taken rainy and windy weather into consideration, so they built a shed at the rudder to shelter from wind and rain.

The shed is spacious and does not block the view of the person at the helm. In addition to sheltering from wind and rain, it can also provide shade when the sun is scorching, which is very practical.

As for the rest of the people, when it rains, they can naturally take shelter in the cabin.

Therefore, I am not afraid of such wind and rain.

Although many people entered the cabin to avoid the wind and rain because of the rain, there was more than one person at the helm on the deck.

On the deck, there were some people standing with umbrellas or wearing raincoats.

Among them is Han Cheng, the son of God of the Qingque tribe.

Although the wind was favorable at this time, the sailing speed of the sailboat was not fast, which was much slower than before.

This was of course because Han Cheng, the son of God of the Qingque tribe, gave the order.

The people in the tribe were already familiar with the previous waterways. They knew the depths and where was suitable for sailing.

But the waters below were not familiar at all.

Although the river becomes more and more water and wider as we go downstream, in theory, it should be basically possible to sail safely.

But for safety reasons, Han Cheng ordered the ships to slow down and sail forward carefully.

When they set out from the Fire Tribe, the ship was only hoisting half of the sail.

Now under Han Cheng's command, the sails actually dropped a lot, and the speed of the ship also dropped a lot accordingly.

That’s not all.

Han Cheng, the son of God of the Qingque tribe, was still standing on the bow of the boat at this time, holding an umbrella and looking at the vast water in front of him.

The people on the boat naturally knew that the Son of God was being so cautious for the sake of safety.

Even so, while the people on the boat expressed their understanding in their hearts, they did not take the Son of God's overly cautious behavior seriously.

Because they all understood that as they went further down, the water in the river would only increase and the river channel would become deeper.

The river is also becoming more and more suitable for navigation.

Even if there is no waterway ahead, there is no need to be as careful as we are now.

However, Han Cheng did not pay much attention to these, and still ordered the people on the boat to follow his orders.

Even after walking at this speed for two days, the Son of God became more cautious.

He ordered two boats similar to lifeboats to be lowered from the Bluebird, and then asked some people who were familiar with water to drive the two boats first and go forward along the river.

When the two small boats were about to reach the end of their sight, they would confirm the distance they had traveled and that the waters in front of them were safe and that there were no special circumstances, and then they would wave their red flags vigorously at the large ship behind them.

The Bluebird, which was moving forward at a very low speed behind, started to accelerate and move forward only after receiving the message of safety.

And when they are about to approach the two scouting ships, they will slow down again and wait quietly for the small boat to go away. After receiving another message of safety from the small boat, they will speed up again and repeat this cycle over and over again.

The speed of traveling at this rate is naturally not very fast.

At the end of the day, we only walked more than thirty miles.

It is much worse than before we arrived at the Fire Tribe.

"Son of God, what are you worried about?"

After two days of marching like this, someone finally lost patience and asked Han Chenggong.

This person was none other than Xiong Youpi, the captain of the Blue Bird Marine Corps.

"The further we go down, the wider the river becomes, and the current becomes more stable..."

Han Cheng's mood was not very good.

In fact, his bad mood was not just today, but had been going on for several days in a row.

The reason for this was that he suddenly remembered something while on the way.

This thing is Hukou!

As the saying goes, the thousand-mile Yellow River is contained in a pot, and Han Cheng had heard of the name of Hukou Waterfall.

But before, he didn't think too deeply about it. It was only after leaving the Fire Tribe and heading east that Han Cheng began to connect this scenic spot, which was very famous in later generations, with what they were doing.

Based on what he has discovered, Han Cheng can basically determine the location of his tribe.

Then it is obvious that the river under them, which is joined by the river in the tribe, is most likely the world-famous river that is engraved in their bones - the Yellow River!

Although the river is not yellow at all now.

At least what Han Cheng has seen so far is not pornographic at all.

But this cannot eliminate Han Cheng's worries.

The thousand-mile Yellow River is collected in a pot. Such a magnificent scene is indeed very spectacular and shocking if you just look at it from the perspective of appreciation.

But Han Cheng is not the kind of person who goes out for fun.

The main purpose of his trip was to personally experience the performance of the tribe's large sailboats, as well as the tribe's people's ability to control the sailboats, and to explore the waterway ahead.

Now, he took his men and sailed down the river on a boat.

And this waterfall with a huge drop, which became world-famous in later generations, is very likely right in front of you.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Han Cheng could be in a good mood!

If you are not careful, it would be really uncomfortable for both people and boats to be rushed down such a waterfall.

“It’s better to be careful in everything. We have never been through this river before. Although it’s going smoothly now, we still have to be careful.

It is true that the water level increases as you go downstream, and there is generally no danger in sailing on it.

But what should we do if we encounter some special terrain that causes the river channel to suddenly narrow, the riverbed drop is too large, and a fault is formed?

If we don't take precautions and handle the situation with caution, won't our ship be thrown overboard?

You know, if the river channel suddenly narrows and the drop in height becomes larger, the water flow speed will begin to accelerate greatly. In this case, it is extremely difficult to control the boat and let it go upstream to escape from such a dangerous area.

If we really encounter such a situation, not only the boat, but also those of us on board will suffer the same fate.”

Facing Xiong Youpi's question, Han Cheng finally expressed his worries in a slightly different form.

After listening to what Han Cheng said, Xiong Youpi didn't react at first.

However, as Han Cheng continued to speak, a scene that he had seen in the mountains after a summer rain appeared in Xiong Youpi's mind.

The collected rainwater gathers in the ravines and flows down.

When encountering a cliff, the fast-flowing water will rush out for some distance and then fall down, like a piece of white cloth spread out and hanging there.

When he saw such scenes in the past, Xiong Youpi felt very shocked and had some different emotions in his heart because of such scenery.

But now, after replacing that stream with the wide river in front of him, and imagining so much river water rushing down like a stream, Xiong Youpi's heart suddenly tightened and he couldn't help but shiver.

Especially after adding the large sailing ship he and others were currently riding on to such a picture, Xiong Youpi's face even turned a little pale!

There are many differences between being on a boat and being on land.

On land, no matter what situation you encounter, bears can always do something with their skins.

If the situation he had just imagined were to happen, Xiong Youpi would be completely helpless, and everything would be left to the mysterious fate...

“God, Son of God…”

It took Xiong Youpi a while to come back to his senses.

Looking at Han Cheng, he wanted to speak.

But before he opened his mouth, he couldn't help swallowing.

After he opened his mouth, he called out "Son of God", and then he didn't know what to say after that.

"Don't worry, this situation can be avoided. As long as we are careful, we can successfully avoid it even if there is such a thing ahead.

It's just a matter of walking slower.

But compared to the possible terrible consequences, walking slower is insignificant. "

Seeing that Xiong Youpi didn't know what to say for a moment, Han Cheng spoke again.

This time, Xiong Youpi, who had been very confused and indifferent before, immediately nodded seriously when he heard it and dared not have any extra thoughts.

Not only that, out of caution and fear, Xiong You'er later told Han Cheng's words to the people on the boat after he had understood and processed them himself.

Xiong You'er himself was terrified by the situation Han Cheng described. With this psychological effect, when he recounted the incident, he would naturally make it sound more serious and frightening.

Therefore, after such an operation, all the contempt in the hearts of the people on the ship disappeared completely, and everyone became extremely cautious.

Han Cheng was naturally happy to see such a scene...

As time passed as the Bluebird sailed forward, the terrain on both sides of the river became more and more varied.

It has changed from being mostly rolling hills and plains at the beginning to being mostly mountainous now.

The river, which has become more stable, has also increased its flow rate a lot in these places.

Because of Han Cheng's narration, which was recounted by Xiong Youpi, who was accustomed to adding fuel to the fire, the people on the boat became more cautious.

If the river banks are easy to walk on, some people will be sent to the shore to walk forward to explore the situation. If it is not easy to walk, the people in the tribe will take small boats and lead the way.

It’s just that the people on the small boat were also extremely careful, and it goes without saying that they wore life jackets.

For safety reasons, they even got a rope that was almost 500 meters long, tied one end to the small boat and the other end to the big ship.

The people on the small boat unrolled the coiled rope one circle at a time as they moved downstream.

After the rope was loosened, the distance between the small boat and the big ship was widened, and the big ship began to move after confirming that there were no problems ahead.

Doing so would be responsible for the lives of those on the exploratory boat ahead.

If they encounter fast-flowing water ahead and cannot control the boat for a while, with this rope and the big ship behind them, they will not be in any danger.

Of course, this was only at the beginning. After they had walked more, people stopped doing this.

Instead, a small boat tied with a rope moved slowly 500 meters in front of the big ship, and the big ship followed slowly behind.

This way, a relatively safe distance and reaction time can be left for the large ship behind, while also ensuring the safety of the small boat in front to the greatest extent possible.

And in this way, you can save as little time as possible.

I hope there is no Hukou. I hope that by now it is so long ago that Hukou has not yet appeared!

On the sailboat, Han Cheng held the railing with his hands, looking ahead, thinking...
