Chapter 355: Discovering the Way Out of the Mountains and Waters 3
"Aunt, what you said makes my tail almost touch the clouds in the sky." Yi Ke said shyly.
"Haha, okay, okay, auntie won't say anything more. Eat. Eat well so you have the strength to walk." Sun Meili stopped praising Yi Ke and picked up the bowl to eat.
Yike also started eating quickly. She couldn't really let everyone wait for her to eat.
After dinner, everyone went out with flashlights. Those who were going to the river carried backpacks, and some carried backpacks.
Godfather said he brought two more beehives with him, so he could put them down in case he encountered a beehive.
Yike quickly put on the protective suit. Without it, who would dare to go into the hive to take the queen bee?
Yike followed everyone out the door. A gust of cold wind made her shiver. Only then did she realize that it was still dark outside.
The lights in the house were so bright that she didn't notice that it was still dark outside.
Everyone sent Yike, Li Youcai and others to the gate, and everyone stopped to see them off.
Li Xiaoying raised her fist and said to Chen Dawang and Yike: "Brother Dawang, sister Yike, you will definitely succeed!"
"We will definitely succeed! Let's work hard together!" Yike made a cheering gesture.
Du Zhicang said to the people who were seeing him off, "Remember not to tell anyone about this when you go back. Don't let anyone else know about it, remember?"
"Remember."
"Remember, don't worry."
"Yes, don't worry. We know we can't say anything."
"We still want to live a good life, so we definitely won't say anything nonsense."
…
Everyone made the same promise.
The door was closed again. Li Youcai walked in front, Du Qingcang walked behind, Yi Ke walked in the middle, and also went with them Chen Dawang and Hu Haohan's son Hu Xiangdong.
It was still pitch black outside, and even the insects and birds had disappeared for the winter. The forest was completely silent.
Yike followed the footsteps of the person in front of him and walked forward. The only sound in the woods was the rustling of footsteps.
Yike couldn't help but whisper to Chen Dawang who was walking in front of her: "Brother Dawang, why don't you wait until dawn to set out? The dew is too heavy this morning, and it's not very far. It will be too late to leave after dawn."
In fact, what I want to say is that the river will not disappear, so is there any need to be so anxious?
Chen Dawang replied in a low voice: "We have to go to the bamboo forest to cut bamboo first, so we have to go early."
"Cut bamboo?" Yi Ke asked in surprise, "Cut bamboo to make a raft? We are going to cut bamboo rafts on the river today?"
"It seems so. Uncle Li said so." Chen Dawang said in a low voice.
Sure enough, Li Youcai took them to the bamboo forest and everyone started cutting bamboo.
Li Youcai said, "Just cut enough bamboo to make a bamboo raft. Then go to the river to see if there are any bamboos. If there are, we won't have to carry them so far. If not, we still have a bamboo raft."
After they had chopped down the bamboos for making the rafts, they each carried a few bamboos on their shoulders and headed towards the creek.
At this time, there was light in the woods, and we no longer needed flashlights. Although we were carrying bamboos, we walked much faster.
When walking in the forest, there is no time to look up at the sky. It doesn’t matter whether the sky is blue or white. What I care about now is that the uppers of my shoes are wet by the dew and my feet are icy cold.
Although they all wore raincoats, they did not wear waders because waders would cause them to slip and fall when walking on mountain roads. So they all wore green military rubber shoes that were convenient for walking on mountain roads.
The sun shines through the leaves, and it is clear that the sun is not lazy today, coming out so early, humming softly, "Today is a good day."
Hu Xiangdong also sang Xintianyou, carried bamboo, stepped on the green frost, and strode forward.
We followed the route we took yesterday and arrived at the stream before nine o'clock.
Everyone put down the bamboos and placed them across the stream. Soon a bamboo bridge appeared across the stream. Everyone walked across the stream on the bamboo bridge and then carried the bamboos on their shoulders and walked forward.
This time, Yi Ke was the guide. He led everyone through a forest of what were thought to be fruit trees, and a long and narrow river suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
The extremely clear and quiet river surface is rippling with slight ripples as it flows slowly between the mountains, like a winding and wriggling dragon snake, quietly crawling into the distance.
The river quietly removed the thin veil of fog, revealing the stones and sand in the water near the shore and the rotten grass and trees on the water surface. Everyone threw their bamboos on the sand and cheered towards the river.
After the happy moment, everyone quickly made the bamboo raft under the command of Li Youcai.
Everyone first tried out the bamboo raft in a shallow area of the creek, and Li Youcai also taught everyone how to cut the bamboo raft.
For safety reasons, they split into two groups. One group took a bamboo raft downstream to see where the river flowed and would return after a few hours, while the other group explored the situation in the valley.
Li Youcai and Du Qingcang took a bamboo raft to explore the end of the stream, while Yike, Chen Dawang and Hu Xiangdong explored the river valley.
However, they discovered a large bamboo forest on the back of the cliff at the end of the valley, growing along the banks of the stream. Moreover, this kind of bamboo is the kind that can be used as building material, which is really a pleasant surprise.
The three of them immediately chopped a large bundle of bamboo, cut it into lengths suitable for making a raft, and tied it into a raft with ropes. The three young men got on the bamboo raft and went after Li Youcai's raft.
Yi Ke wanted to stop them, mainly because he was afraid of the danger in the water. But then he thought, everyone can swim, and this is not the sea. There is no breeze or waves, so there is basically no danger. The three of them sat on the bamboo raft and went downstream.
This small river is really calm. Although the river channel is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, the water is sometimes deep and sometimes shallow, and you can see small streams branching out from the river channel from time to time, the water flow is not sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Perhaps because the water was diverted by the stream, the river was flowing quietly, so they went downstream to the end of the stream without any danger and met Li Youcai and Du Zhicang at the end.
Li Youcai and Du Zhicang also saw the bamboo forest. At that time, they thought that they would not have to carry bamboos from so far when making bamboo rafts in the future. I didn’t expect that three people would make a bamboo raft by themselves.
At the end of the stream is a big mountain. The mountain looks like it was split in half with an axe, and the river water flows out from the gap.
As soon as I saw the crack, I inexplicably thought of the three words "a line of sky".
"You are too bold. Haven't you heard the saying 'Don't bully the mountains, don't bully the water'? What are we going to do if something happens? We don't even know what happened." Du Qingcang roared angrily.
Li Youcai was also very angry. Although he didn't yell, his cold voice made people tremble in their hearts.
"You've become more capable, haven't you? You didn't follow the agreement and acted on your own. Very good, the three of you are very good. Next time, don't expect us to take you out again."
Yi Ke hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying flatteringly: "Godfather, we know we were wrong. Look, we are already here, why don't we climb up the cliff and see what is on the other side of the mountain?" "Humph, I'll let you go for now." Du Qingcang snorted unhappily, and turned back to discuss with Li Youcai: "Since we are all here, let's not rush back, just go to the other side of the mountain and take a look."
