Because the Huanghe River is much smaller than the Longjiang River, it thaws earlier than the Longjiang River.
These rafts gather at the river mouth and flow downstream as soon as the Longjiang River opens.
Although these rafts were tied with steel cables, they were still unable to withstand the huge force of the ice floes, and some of the rafts were broken apart by the ice floes.
These scattered logs wandered around the river like stragglers.
There is a lot of land and a small population on the Soviet side, and there is no village on the riverside, so no one cares about the scattered wood, which benefits the people on the Chinese side.
Although there are forests in China, after more than ten years of logging, it is almost impossible to find high-quality pine wood of the same thickness and length as in the Soviet Union. Therefore, as soon as these pine woods come ashore, someone will buy them.
A piece of pine wood that is two arms thick and seven or eight meters long can be sold for seven yuan.
You heard it right, this is the price.
Of course, if you don’t sell it and keep it to make furniture and build a house, no one will care about you.
Now that the river has just opened, those micro-boat owners who are eager to go down to the river to make a fortune can only squat on the river bank and smoke. Going down to the river now is undoubtedly seeking death.
If their small boat couldn't dodge an ice sheet in time, it would be broken into pieces.
At least they have to wait until the mainstream ice floes have almost flowed away and there are fewer large ice floes before they can go down.
The fishermen were calculating when to go down to the river, while Wan Feng was calculating how to get ashore.
When he finished watching Kaijiang and was about to go back, he found himself separated on the barge.
The barge was about six or seven meters away from the river bank. When Wan Feng got on the barge, there was still ice between the barge and the shore. Now the ice between the barge and the river bank has disappeared and turned into ice floes that are drifting downstream.
The water near the shore where the boat is docked is not too shallow. Wan Feng estimates that the water depth must be more than one meter.
This would make it difficult for him to get back to shore.
The barge was three or four meters above the water. If Wan Feng accelerated on the barge and jumped into the air, he would be 100% sure to land on the shore, but he would also definitely get bruised and battered.
After calculating that it was not cost-effective, Wan Feng gave up the idea of flying.
When I got on the boat, I thought I could see farther because I was standing higher up, but why didn’t I think about the problem of getting back?
This is a lesson that must be learned.
We can learn lessons later, but how can we get back to shore now?
Do we have to stay on the boat until dark?
He was so busy watching Kaijiang that he forgot the time. Before he knew it, it was already past three o'clock. He had been watching Kaijiang for nearly two hours. It was really not far from dark now.
It would be fine if I could go back after dark, but I'm afraid that if I can't go back after dark, I will have to spend the night on the boat.
That would be tragic, you will definitely be frozen into an ice sculpture.
Even though it is already mid-April, the temperature at night is still more than ten degrees below zero.
When Wan Feng was in distress, there was a loud bang and the barge shook violently twice.
Wan Feng looked up and laughed.
A large ice floe, two meters thick, four to five meters wide and more than ten meters long, was stuck between the bow and the river bank, blocking the distance between the barge and the shore.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he doesn't seize it and go ashore, he will probably have to stay on the boat until dark.
Because the height of the ice floe exposed above the water surface is two meters, and the height of the hull exposed above the water surface is nearly four meters, the two-meter drop can still allow Wan Feng to land safely on the ice floe.
Although the ice floe is more than four meters wide, it is not flat but uneven and extremely smooth.
When Wan Feng was holding onto the side of the boat and fell onto the ice floe, his foot slipped and he almost fell off the ice floe.
There is icy cold river water below. If you fall in, your balls will probably be frozen.
When Wan Feng slipped, he cleverly leaned over the ice and managed to avoid falling.
Just when he was about to take a breath, he looked up in shock.
He saw a piece of ice that was larger than the one under him floating down the river like a small mountain, and its direction of movement was actually towards the ice under him.
If this piece of ice collides with the ice under him, he will definitely be shaken into the river.
It was no big deal that his eggs were frozen; the movement caused by the collision of two ice blocks was enough to crush him into a photo.
Wan Feng took a deep breath, lay down and ran towards the shore, trying to maintain both speed and balance. He was about to reach the river, but his foot slipped and his body tilted to the left.
Wan Feng instinctively grabbed around but caught nothing. His body fell from the ice and his legs splashed into the river.
My feet felt cold for a moment, but fortunately, I was still on the shore above my knees.
Wan Feng got up without any hesitation and ran towards the shore. Just when he ran two or three meters away, there was a loud bang behind him. A large ice floe floating down the river hit the original ice floe that was across the barge and the river bank.
Wan Feng looked back while running, his face changed.
The ice block that was hit was actually chasing him. The speed generated by the collision was much faster than him, and in the blink of an eye it caught up with him.
Wan Feng let out a roar, and his feet moved like a Hot Wheels.
The ice floe that was knocked ashore could only move about ten or eight meters at most. As long as Wan Feng could run more than ten meters away, he would be safe.
Wan Feng was so frightened that he ran as fast as he could. He could already feel the ice floes touching his butt.
The busier he was, the more mistakes he made. Wan Feng was tripped by a frozen sandbank on the beach.
Wan Feng lost his balance and fell flat on the beach.
Wan Feng felt sad. It was all over. My life was over. I had to say goodbye to my two wives forever.
Thinking of this, I closed my eyes and waited for the ice to roll over me.
A minute later, Wan Feng opened his eyes, as if nothing had happened and he was still alive.
I looked back and gasped.
The ice floe chasing him had a tip like the bow of a ship, about a foot wide, and like a knife.
At this moment, the ice knife was inserted between his legs, probably no more than half an inch away from a vital part of his body.
Wan Feng felt a chill in his crotch and stood up quickly to touch it.
Fortunately, fortunately, they are all here!
Damn it, I went to the riverside to see Kaijiang. He almost became a eunuch. Who the hell can I go to for justice?
As soon as I felt relieved, I felt my feet become cold and hard.
I looked down and saw that the parts of my legs below the knees were covered with ice. This was the result of my feet falling into the water just now.
Wan Feng ran as fast as he could and arrived at the garment factory.
The garment factory is closest to the river, so Wan Feng plans to go here to dry his shoes and pants.
The dormitories of the garment factory still use stoves for heating at night.
When Wan Feng arrived at the garment factory, Zhang Xuan had just returned from the cafeteria. Seeing Wan Feng's expression, he was so surprised that he couldn't even blink.
"Are you going on a winter trip?"
This woman must have a short circuit in her brain. How could she come up with such an idea?
Winter travel, damn! I still have the leisure time to go on a winter travel. I'm almost becoming a eunuch.
