Chapter 139： Problem, Gu Shuixiu's solution

Because the return trip was against the current, Dong Chenghu and Zuo Qingsong exerted their strength to feed and returned to the vicinity of Cuizhu Mountain in the face of the moonlight.

Hao Shi and Dong Yunmei were waiting anxiously on the shore. The darker the sky, the more uneasy they became. Just as Hao Shi was about to cry, the shadows of two boats appeared in the crowd. in sight.

Hao burst into tears with joy, no matter when or where, she waved her hand and shouted in the direction of the ship: "Are you back?"

It was Qinchuan who responded to Hao's. I saw him standing on the bow and waving at Hao's and others, and shouted: "Mother, we're back, it's okay."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Qin Chuan's words. Dong Chenghu and the others did not go ashore with Zuo Qingsong and the others, but went straight to the other side of the river. Shui Xiu was still at home waiting for his news.

Dong Yunmei welcomed Zuo Qingsong in this room, and her dangling heart also fell. Come on, if this matter is not resolved, I won't be able to sleep soundly tonight."

"I think so too, why don't we go over now?" Zuo Qingsong suggested.

Qin Shan and Qin Chuan agreed, but Hao Shi and Dong Yunmei were confused.

Hao asked with a blank face: "Why did you just come back and go again? What time is it now? You haven't eaten yet!"

Uncle Qin was still angry and didn't want to explain to Hao, Qinchuan cleverly pulled Hao aside and muttered: "Mother, the situation in the river over there is more serious than we thought. , it was in the place where the gap was, a large piece of stone was blocked, and the entire riverbed was directly too high. Fortunately, Brother Dong said that he was going to investigate. Dad said that if it is not dealt with, it will not be able to be dealt with in a few years. The valley is about to be flooded.

Now Dad and Big Brother Zuo can't care about other things. The way to check the river is what Shui Xiu thinks. Dad and the others want to go to Cuizhu Mountain and have a good discussion with Big Brother Dong and his wife. When a charter is issued, Dad doesn't plan to go home, mother, don't say things that Dad doesn't like to hear at this time, you don't have to make Dad even more angry. "

Qinchuan had to say something serious to Mrs. Hao for the sake of family harmony. Mrs. Hao was losing her temper, but she knew what was more important. He didn't care about anything else, and directly said that he would go to Dong's house with them.

Dong Yunmei had to follow because she was worried. Although it was getting dark, it was not too late. Zuo Qingsong never refused Dong Yunmei's request. I also brought a child with me, and spent it at Dong's house tonight.

Because Qin Shan was worried about Liu Yueyi and her children, he decided to stay in the village and help everyone by the way.

After the deal was settled, Uncle Qin and Zuo Qingsong boarded the boat again and sent everyone to the other side of the river. They knocked on the door of Cuizhu Mountain without stopping.

Gu Shuixiu was wondering, why did Dong Chenghu just come back now?

When Dong Shan led a group of people into the house, Gu Shuixiu knew that they were all here to discuss the river course. Dong Shan went to the kitchen to get some food, while he sat in the main room and talked to them.

Uncle Qin frowned and said straight to the point: "Chenghu and his wife, you should have guessed our purpose when we came so late, the situation of the river is unknown to Chenghu. Did I tell you, the situation is more serious than we expected, and more importantly, the water there is turbulent and at the drop, once the river is open, the instantaneous water flow can rush us all under the waterfall, if it is true It is estimated that even the corpse will not be found if it falls.

It's a question of how we're going to get back.

Oh, I really can't think of a good way to do it now, no matter how we go on, we can survive this year, and we can cope with it by relying on that ditch, but it is estimated that this valley will not be able to survive next year. ! "

Although Mr. Hao knew the situation from Qin Chuan, the weight of what he said from Uncle Qin was different. Now Mrs. Hao also panicked and looked anxiously. Gu Shuixiu, their home is in the valley, where the house and fields are their whole life efforts, if the valley were really flooded, she would have wanted to die.

Gu Shuixiu listened carefully to Uncle Qin, and said to Dong Chenghu: "Go to the study and get some pen and paper, just as you can also write something, show me the situation of the river, Or you describe me as painting, and I can think of countermeasures after I paint it first."

Dong Chenghu strode out of the main room after hearing this. After a while, he brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone over. Dong Chenghu and several people described it. Gu Shuixiu painted, and in a short while he drew the general situation of the place.

Dong Chenghu frowned and said solemnly: "The water flow in that place is very fast, and now there are rocks blocking it, we don't have to worry about the danger of being washed down, but if the river is dredged, it will be troublesome, maybe The boat would be washed directly into the water."

"How wide is the river?" Gu Shuixiu asked seriously.

Zuo Qingsong replied for Dong Chenghu: "The river is very wide, wider than ours, about 30 meters by visual inspection."

"Thirty meters?" Gu Shuixiu was surprised. The wild vegetables on the river at their door were about twenty meters away, and there were more than thirty meters there! The riverbed of more than 30 meters has been raised, no wonder the river flooded directly ashore.

"What is the condition of the river bank in that place? Is there a way to go?"

When she asked such a question, everyone was stunned. They just focused on surveying the rock groups and didn't pay attention to the situation on both sides of the river bank. But on both sides of the river bank are cliffs with many sturdy old trees that look old."

"Well, you can go and see it tomorrow, it's better to climb up to those old trees and see how the gap between the trees is? If you can walk on the trees, see What is the farthest distance you can walk, and if you can go to a place where the water flow is relatively gentle through those trees, isn't there a way out?

"

"What method?" Everyone said in unison, all looking at Gu Shuixiu with hope.

Gu Shuixiu was stared at by bright eyes, she felt almost out of breath, after taking a deep breath, she said, "Bamboo is the most important thing in our place, if it can't be done, use bamboo to connect Together, connect with those big trees, and get out a long pole.

When the river is dredged, climb up the tree first to avoid being washed down, then grab the pole and move forward until you swim to a place where the current is gentle and then board the boat. These are the two most feasible methods at present.

But since you are going to investigate those old trees, I suggest that you all apply realgar and sulfur powder on your body to avoid large snakes on them, I will let Chenghu bring Yixi sulfur powder over there, you guys Before climbing a tree, sprinkle some sulphur powder on the tree and wait for a while before climbing up.
