Chapter 375 (1/2)
The big ship went upstream, but it took half a day to reach Qutang gorge. The river was high and the waves were fierce. The water situation in the most dangerous section of the Three Gorges was not very good. Even the place where the grand event was held, fudui, was only one person tall and exposed to the water within a radius of one Zhang.
Standing in the bow of the boat, Lu Li raised his head and looked at it. He piled up in the choppy River and floated out the upper half of his body from underwater diving. He seemed to be strong and resolute and wanted to drink back from the river. The waves in front of the river rushed hard at the hard rock, and the waves behind pushed forward and roared in, beating the waves all over the sky. Whenever the river rushes towards the pile, in an instant, in front of the pile, the waves are surging, the water mist is steaming, the whirlpool is flying, and the earth and mountains are shaking.
The sound of thunder can be heard for ten miles.
”This is the miracle of” back to the mountains ”that has been handed down in Shu for thousands of years.” Song Shidao came to Lu Li and introduced him: ”our ship of song valve passes here eight or nine times a year. There will be no danger for the old boatman. Has brother Lu ever been to Qutang? If so, Shidao will laugh!”
”I've been to Qutang!” Lu Li looked curiously at the canyons and strange rocks on both sides, and replied, ”but I haven't seen Xiangdui...” what Lu Li didn't say is that because Xiangdui hindered shipping, it was bombed out by the government as early as the winter of 1958. Only in the plot world of Sui and Tang dynasties can we see this spectacle of ”Xiangdui returning to the LAN”.
”You see...” Lu Li pointed to song Shidao and said, ”this is an undercurrent turbulence in the center of the river. When a ship goes here, it will be disturbed by the turbulence. Here, thousands of rivers converge and go to one gate. The current is extremely fast. We are big ships. We are so dangerous. If it is a small boat commonly used by fishermen and passenger ships, it will capsize or collide with a pile of boats, it will be broken in an instant!”
”Why not destroy this boulder?” Lu Li asked.
Song Shidao smiled knowingly, shook his head and said, ”brother Lu, what you think, we song valve have not considered. Qutang is full of piles, which makes the Shu Road difficult. Every year, the song valve loses thousands of goods and manpower here. If we can really solve it, the song valve will be the first to do it! ”
”But you don't know that Qutang is a place where thousands of rivers converge. There is plenty of water. In addition to fudui, there are countless rocks and reefs under the water. Since ancient times, the waterways here are complex and complex. They change with the solar terms, and there is a dead end under the river!”
”The people who fell into the water here have never been rescued alive. Even if people chisel and destroy the stone pile, they can only break the part above the river.”
Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help laughing bitterly and said, ”if you really chisel the part above the river, wouldn't it kill the passengers of the caravan?”
Song Shidao nodded and said, ”you can't go up Qutang because it's as big as an elephant. You can't stay in Qutang because it's as big as an ox. you can't go down Qutang because it's as big as a horse. You can't touch Qutang because it's as big as a burden. You can't see Qutang because it's as big as a turtle. You can't see Qutang. You can't go boating in Qutang because it's as big as a turtle. You can't go boating in Qutang. If one day, you can't see the pile. I'm afraid every family will wear filial piety and cry along the Yangtze River in Central Sichuan.”
”The boaters here are controlled by the Shuilong gang. They are most familiar with the hydrogeology of Qutang. The Shuilong Gang is the one who handles the sundries and is half of the landlord. If brother Lu is interested in the scenery of Qutang, I'll let them arrange“
”No...” Lu Li refused with a smile.
The ship had already passed the Caidui. At this time, it was not far from the port. Lu Li pointed to a newly built wooden building on the shore and said, ”I see. That should be the place arranged by the water dragon gang.”
At this time, the two sides of the Strait have been slightly gentle, but there are still some strange peaks and rocks standing on both sides. Just in front of the port, there is a huge rock like an eagle's beak, on which stands a thin figure. It is not clear until the distance is closer and closer. The man's dress is very different from that of the Central Plains. He has a pair of Yin dove like eyes and looks coldly at the song valve's ship.
”Turks?” Song Shidao frowned with obvious displeasure.
