Chapter 197 Lingshui River



The children's faces were filled with curiosity and excitement. They would stop to savor each bite, with sparkles in their eyes, as if they were exploring a whole new world of delicious food.

"Yes, the fruit is fragrant and sweet, it's such a rare delicacy!" The children's laughter echoed in the camp, adding a bit of joy and vitality to the originally quiet camp.

The adults smiled with satisfaction as they watched the children enjoying the apples, as if the sweetness of the apples had also nourished their hearts.

The adults looked at the fragrant apples and picked up a piece and put it in their mouths.

When you chew it gently, the sweet juice spreads in your mouth. The taste is really good, with crispness and sweetness blending between your taste buds.

However, they only tasted it briefly and stopped after eating a small piece.

He looked at the children tenderly and left the remaining apples to them.

During this difficult journey, the children's laughter and satisfaction are their greatest comfort. Even if it is a rare delicacy, they would rather let the children enjoy it.

At the end of the meal, the children gently took a small bite of the apple, treating it with as careful care as if it were a rare treasure.

The tender flesh was slowly crushed between the teeth, and the sweet taste spread instantly. They narrowed their eyes slightly, immersed in this wonderful taste.

He chewed each bite very slowly, as if he wanted the taste to stay in his mouth longer and longer, unable to bear to swallow it.

Even after they fell asleep, the sweet smell of the apple still lingered in their hearts.

In their dreams, they seemed to be in that wonderful moment of tasting apples again. The crispy taste and sweet juice kept reappearing in their dreams, making them smile with satisfaction unconsciously in their sleep, immersed in the endless aftertaste brought by the apples.

Time flies, and a month goes by in a flash.

After a long journey, everyone from Sujia Village finally arrived at the bank of Lingshui River.

The Lingshui River is like a galloping dragon, lying across the earth, with the river water surging and flowing endlessly.

Even from a long distance away, the sound of the rushing water poured into everyone's ears like thunder, inspiring awe.

When we approached the river bank, we saw the river water rushing like a galloping horse, and the turbulent water carried endless power as it roared past.

Looking down, I felt dizzy. The deep river valley seemed like an endless abyss, and I dared not look directly at it.

The river is extremely wide, stretching for ten kilometers. The water sparkles in the sunlight, like a huge piece of silver silk.

Fortunately, there is a suspension bridge across the river, which is the only way to cross the river.

At the bridgehead, a strong man was sitting on the bridgehead, with a sign next to him that read: There is a fee for crossing the river, 10 coins per person and 20 coins per car.

When everyone saw the sign at the bridge head that clearly stated the toll for crossing the river, a low murmur of complaint suddenly arose in the team.

Someone grumbled quietly, "Why do we have to pay to cross the river? We've already spent a lot of money on this trip, and this is adding insult to injury."

The people next to him also echoed, with reluctant expressions on their faces.

Everyone was talking to each other, but they were all just hesitating there, and no one showed any intention of leaving.

After all, the Lingshui River in front of us is not a docile stream.

The river is ten kilometers wide, and the water is surging like a group of enraged beasts. The huge waves collide with each other, splashing high and making a deafening sound.

The undercurrent in the river surged, and whirlpools formed one after another, like huge mouths ready to devour people.

Anyone who sees such a scene will be terrified, and trying to swim over there is simply seeking death.

Everyone knows that although paying the money is painful, it is a small price to pay compared to losing one's life.

So, with a sigh of helplessness, everyone took out money from their packages, lined up, and slowly walked onto the suspension bridge one by one, heading towards Jeju on the other side.

The people from Sujia Village who were lined up at the back watched the people in front of them walk onto the suspension bridge one after another.

Several young and strong men took the lead and walked towards the suspension bridge. Their figures seemed extremely small in front of the vast river and the swaying suspension bridge.

The leading man gritted his teeth, stared ahead with a determined gaze, and held the rope on the side of the bridge tightly with both hands like pliers. With each step he took, he pulled hard to make sure the rope could withstand it before continuing forward.

At this time, the suspension bridge swayed violently from side to side with their footsteps, and the rushing river water under the bridge rushed past like a wild horse. The splashing water wet the ropes on the side of the bridge, which was terrifying.

The women and children huddled together and supported each other, their faces as pale as paper.

A young child was so frightened that his face turned pale. He clung to his mother's legs tightly and refused to step onto the suspension bridge.

Although the women were also filled with fear, they could only pretend to be calm and comforted the children in trembling voices, but the voices were instantly drowned out by the sounds of wind and water.

An old man was pulling an ox cart, carefully driving the oxen onto the suspension bridge.

The cow's hooves stepped on the wooden boards, making a dull "dong dong" sound. With every step, the suspension bridge shook violently up and down and swayed from side to side.

The veins on the old man's hands bulged as he held the reins tightly, muttering soothing words over and over. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead and were instantly blown away by the wind.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, making everyone's clothes flutter wildly and unable to stand steadily, as if it was going to sweep them directly into the river.

Everyone was moving with difficulty on the suspension bridge, their eyes fixed on the wooden planks beneath their feet, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
