"Li Erwa, I didn't come when I called you before, why did you come with me this time?" A young man with most of his body soaked in the river, only his head exposed, asked curiously.
Li Shiqiang held Fu Zhu and ignored Xu Sheng who was asking questions. He just checked the bamboo rafts one by one.
Because he knew that it was the Guitou Beach in front of him that caused the bamboo rafts to loosen, killing his father Li Nongchang and several other fellow Piao brothers.
But a certain handsome second brother on the side looked at Li Shiqiang's busy appearance and couldn't help but frowned and spoke.
"Li Erwa, what else do you have to watch? We have tied these bamboo rafts long ago. You'd better hurry up and follow us. If you are late, you will be begged!"
Li Shiqiang looked up and found that the second brother Piao who was speaking was his third uncle, Li Nongxing.
He didn't say anything, he just jumped up from the river, came to the fourth quarter and kicked the head of the player moderately.
After this kick came down, his head was broken instantly.
The bamboo rafts in the fourth quarter were immediately released.
Seeing this scene, many Piao Er Ge on the bamboo rafts were suddenly shocked.
"Er baby, how did you see that!?" Xu Sheng looked pale, gasping for breath, and stared at Li Shiqiang and asked.
He is responsible for the bamboo raft support pole in the third section. If the row is broken, he may be the first person to have an accident.
"Check them all quickly!"
Standing on the first raft, Li Nongchang was also frightened at this time, and quickly urged everyone to check it carefully again.
Soon, many Piao Er Ge immediately became busy.
Some people are responsible for checking the beams, some are responsible for checking the drains, and some are responsible for checking the winches.
And Li Shiqiang also sighed in his heart: It is indeed a break!
The second brother Piao in Fangpai is all very good at water, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford Fangpai's rice.
Not to mention his old man who has been the leader for more than ten years.
Even if the old man fell into the river while crossing Guitou Beach, he would not be killed by the bamboo raft, let alone several other Piao Er Ge who died.
Only by cutting off the row could it be possible to kill so many people!
Fortunately, he had the experience of arranging a discharge in his previous life, which allowed him to deduce the reason why something might have happened while passing Guitou Beach this time.
As long as the problem of Zhupai's accident is investigated in advance, the old man and the other handsome brothers should be able to survive the disaster in their previous lives.
...
"gone!"
After everyone checked over and over again, no more problems were found.
Li Nongchang, the leader of the group, immediately decided to start on his way.
Li Shiqiang also climbed onto the raft and stood behind his father.
In fact, according to the rules, he cannot stand on the head raft, because the head raft controls the direction of the entire raft and is extremely important. Generally, the head raft is controlled by the leader alone.
But when everyone saw that it was Li Shiqiang's first time in the row, they felt that he was a little scared and followed his father, so they didn't say anything.
And Li Nongchang also valued his boring gourd son. He didn't let him support the pole, but just asked him to stay behind.
Soon, a bamboo raft more than 40 meters long composed of thousands of bamboos rushed towards Guitou Beach under the leadership of Li Nongchang.
Li Shiqiang stood behind his old man, watching his figure closely.
As long as Zhupao can survive Guitou Beach safely, then the old man should have escaped the accident in his previous life.
After the more than 40-meter-long bamboo rafts passed through Guitou Beach one after another, the river immediately calmed down.
And the bamboo rafts also heard the voice of Brother Piao Er, half sighing and half happy: "Fortunately, Li Erwa has been checking the bamboo rafts before. If the bamboo rafts are really broken, we are afraid it will not be so easy..."
Li Shiqiang listened quietly to everyone talking, and his heart was filled with joy.
very nice!
Thank you God for letting me come back so that our family can be safe and reunited.
After the bamboo raft passed Sanjiangkou and docked at Baishawan, it had reached its destination.
The whole journey takes nearly half a day.
After arriving, you have to go down the row and inspect the bamboo rafts. After this busy work, you have to wait for the rafts, which are tugboats carrying thousands of meters of rows down the Yangtze River, out of Kuimen, and across the Three Gorges... .
But these had nothing to do with Li Shiqiang. By the time the money was collected, it was already dark.
They still had to walk back to Jinsha Village.
Along the way, we followed the turbulent river water when we arrived and the empty night sky when we returned.
Everyone found a place with less wind and took out the pickles, red potatoes, potatoes and dried beans they had brought with them and started eating.
If you don’t bring one, you have to find a place to dig it out and bake it yourself.
Beside the fire, Li Shiqiang moved away a red potato and threw half of it to Xu Sheng beside him.
There is a brother and sister-in-law on top of this melon seed. Every time I go to the fields, I have to dig for other people's food to eat.
"Er baby, I heard that you will find Huang Yun as your mother-in-law when you return this time?" Xu Sheng said with a smile while licking the red sweet potato skin.
Li Shiqiang listened to the name "Huang Yun" and stared at the fire blankly, ignoring him.
Huang Yun is the most beautiful girl among her peers in Jinsha Village. Not only is she kind-hearted and considerate, but her old man is also the village party secretary.
I don't know how many young men in the village like Huang Yun, but this Huang Yun fell in love with Li Shiqiang, a boring gourd.
The Li family was naturally satisfied with their unmarried daughter-in-law, so they hurriedly collected money to pay the bride price.
In the last life, my father died in this lower row because of this.
Because of his father's death, not only did he delay getting married a few years, but his partner also changed.
From the well-behaved and sensible Huang Yun to the lazy and aggressive Chen Jing.
After marrying Chen Jing, the two of them lived a very unhappy life.
In his later years, Li Shiqiang often thought at night whether his life would be different if his father had not been in trouble and he had married Huang Yun as he wished.
Looking at the blazing bonfire, Li Shiqiang couldn't help but murmured: "Huang Yun, I must marry you home in this life!"
After he finished muttering, he saw his third uncle digging a pit on the ground and putting some picked sticks in it to make a fire.
When the fire in the pit was raging, he took out a sack and went to the riverside to wet it, then threw it in the pit to simmer the fire.
In an instant, hot steam immediately came out of the sack.
The third uncle, Li Nongxing, also couldn't wait to put his feet in the hot air.
"Hi, feel comfortable!"
At this time, Li Shiqiang also noticed the ulcerated soles of his third uncle's feet.
Living on the river, Brother Piao's feet are basically soaked in water all year round.
Especially for people like my old man and my third uncle who have been in the queue for more than ten years, their feet are almost rotten and they are even more itchy and painful.
"Second brother, come on!"
Listening to Li Nongxing's shouts, Li Nongchang also came to the pit.
However, by this time most of the heat had gone out.
Li Nongchang stopped smoking his feet and stepped directly on the hot sack.
Li Shiqiang walked over to his old man and looked at it, and said hesitantly: "Old man, when you get back, let Dr. Wu come over and look at your feet."
