Chapter 102 Crossing the River
"Wake up!" A familiar voice sounded in front of me, but it was cold.
Wang Mazi quickly looked up and saw Li Laosan, Jin Daya and other escorts sitting on a pile of luggage. Wang Mazi immediately wanted to curse.
However, he opened and closed his mouth several times, but no sound came out.
Wang Mazi panicked and tried to move his hands and feet, but found that he couldn't move at all!
What's going on? What do Li Laosan and the others want to do?
At this time, Li Laosan spoke.
"Wang Tao, don't struggle. We won't do anything to you," Li Laosan reassured Wang Mazi before continuing, "We're just going to cross the river tomorrow, and we don't want you to ruin our plans, so we'll just have to put up with you for one night. After we cross the river, whatever punishment you choose, we'll accept."
After saying that, Li Laosan said to Jin Daya, "Don't be lazy. Send them some food later. Come on the raft with us tomorrow."
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Jin Daya nodded.
Several other escorts also expressed that they would not treat Wang Mazi and his companions unfairly.
Wang Mazi watched Li Laosan and the others leave. He wanted to move but couldn't, and he wanted to curse but couldn't make a sound.
It was not until this moment that Wang Mazi began to feel fear.
He is not stupid, the current situation is not favorable to him!
Although what Li Laosan said just now sounded nice, but unless he was hopelessly stupid, who would let him live?
And they just said they wanted to cross the river, so it would be too easy for him to get into trouble on the river.
What to do? Who will save him?
Unfortunately, if you walk on the road at night too much, you will always encounter ghosts. Wang Mazi fully experienced the despair of having no way to go up to heaven and no way to go down to earth.
The next morning, as soon as it got light, the refugees saw the group of people who had camped by the river the previous evening moving.
Last night they hadn't seen clearly what those people were using to carry their luggage, but now they could see clearly that they were actually large rafts!
"Are they crazy to think of crossing the river on a raft?"
"Yes, the Lan River is not always calm. If we encounter a storm in the middle of the river, can their raft withstand it?"
"Why are you so anxious? It's them who have to take the risk anyway, so we'll just watch."
""
There were many discussions, some expressing concern, some expressing pessimism, and some expressing gloating. Of course, there were also some who were thoughtful.
Shen Qingqian and the others completely ignored what others were saying. They were busy tying the rafts together with ropes and distributing the luggage onto each raft. Li Laosan and Shen Xiao were also responsible for distributing everyone according to their height and weight.
Early in the morning, everyone was busy and sweating, except Wang Mazi and a few others.
They were forced to sit on a pile of luggage by Jin Daya, who seemed to be supervising everyone's work.
Wang Mazi was so anxious that he was covered in cold sweat and his clothes were soaked, but no one paid any attention to him.
Until Li Laosan raised his voice and shouted, "The first batch is ready, Goudan, you take the people over first!"
"Okay! Third Master, just watch!" Jiang Goudan tried hard to suppress his fear, patted his trembling legs, and walked up to the raft that had just been pushed into the river with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
They had nearly thirty rafts in total, each of which could accommodate four to five people standing or sitting. However, they had brought too many things with them in the mountains over the past month, so they had to divide the luggage into three groups.
Jiang Goudan and his group were the first group. There was a person in charge on each raft. After going over, they had to come back to pick up the people. It took two round trips to get everyone over.
Shengze and Lingyun are the overall responsible persons. They are not only responsible for the movement of the raft, but also for rescuing people when they fall into the river.
Shen Qingqian stood by the river, looking at the slowly sailing raft nervously, praying that everything would go well.
