Chapter 21 When I'm About to Go-4

The Yellow River channel has become narrower here. The surging river water from the upper reaches was suddenly retracted by both sides, causing huge waves to arise on the shore, and countless whirlpools are hidden under the water of the calm river. The reef tied to the iron chain is revealed after the collapse of a cliff bank washed by the river.

Before we could reach the reef hidden in iron locks, the storm of the shore brought the fog and rain all over the sky, which made the two of them wet their clothes, and when they were close, it was even more amazing. Looking up from the reef, it was like a sinkhole. The erosion and hollowing of the river water day after day made the river banks on both sides stand like dangerous rocks, which made people feel worried. The roar of the waves that could be heard for more than ten miles away were repeatedly stirred in this narrow groove, like hundreds of war drums beating at the same time, and like thousands of thunders alternately ringing in their ears. Therefore, according to old saying, this is the roar of the river god, which makes people snatch it from the soul.

Li Ruoxue bit her lips tightly, looked at Zhao Xingde worriedly tightly, stepped into the river, bent down to pull up the iron chain hidden in the river.

He used all his strength to pull the chain up and hung the iron ring of the chain on a pig iron hook that was deeply nailed into the reef. If the person who led the river crossing the river would be extremely surprised to see this scene, the weight of the chain itself and the huge impact of the river water it was subjected to, usually three great men could pull it. Even though his strength was astonishing, Zhao Xingde felt his arms were extremely sore and numb. He leaned on the reef for a while before he bent down and pulled the chain, exhaled and opened his breath, pulled it up again with a burst of force, and the iron ring was snapped on the other iron hook. At this time, the chain between the two iron nails relaxed, and then took off the iron ring that was hung last time and emptyed the iron hook. After this, the chain was slowly appearing on the water surface and swayed with the waves. At this time, no matter how hard Zhao Xingde used, he could not pull up a single part.

"I have to do this." Zhao Xingde wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked up the shore step by step. He gently hugged Li Ruoxue and said in a deep voice: "You wait for me here." Then he turned around and stepped into the river, slowly stroking forward along the chain. Suddenly, his feet were empty and there was no more force. He could only hold on to the thin chain, exchanged his hands, and climbed towards the other side of the river one foot at a time.

The more you reach the middle flow, the greater the force of the river water washing. If there was no iron chain to resist the impact, I was afraid that before swimming 100% of the way, I would have fallen downstream into the waterfall downstream before I could swim.

There were huge waves and vortexes everywhere in the river. When the waves came, it seemed like a huge force slapped him down the water. Zhao Xingde could only close his eyes and hold his breath tightly, until his chest loosens and air regained the nose, and then he knew that the wave had passed. When passing through the vortex, it seemed as if countless water monsters and river monsters were desperately pulling him deep under the water. There was even a feeling of his ankles and waist being held by invisible hands, pulling down with huge force. At this time, he could only hold the chain with both arms, even if he moved to the other side of the river several inches, he had to get rid of the suction force of the vortex.

Every time Zhao Xingde rises and falls in the river, Li Ruoxue's heart will be tightened. She is afraid that Zhao Xingde will be distracted, so she firmly realizes that she will not let her exclaim, and her eyes are filled with tears. "If he is flooded by the river, I will jump in." Only when she recites this sentence, she feels a little relieved.

It was less than 300 feet away from both sides of the Yellow River, but it seemed as if I had walked in hell. When I gradually felt that the erosion force of the river was weakening, Zhao Xingde knew that he had passed the most turbulent section of the river. With his spare strength, he stepped on the water with his feet and waved to Li Ruoxue. Suddenly, he pretended to be exhausted and drilled into the river. When it floated out of the water, he was still holding the iron chain tightly.

It doesn't matter if he is doing the show, Li Ruoxue actually feels dizzy. After calming down, he saw Zhao Xingde continue to move towards the opposite bank with aura, biting his lips and stamping his feet and angrily: "Bad things!" She cried in joy, and the tears that had endured for a long time slid down her cheeks.

After Zhao Xingde arrived on the other side of the river, he first checked the iron chains there. The end was also nailed to death under the reef, and two other hooks were used to collect and release iron chains. In which year did this dark iron chain be hung here, and only the surging river knew how many people had passed.

After resting, Zhao Xingde returned to the other side of Song State along the iron chain again. He stepped onto the ground on the shore and walked towards the river bank with water. Li Ruoxue rushed into the water desperately, and the two hugged each other, "Bad things," she pounded and beat him hard, "Don't leave me behind." The surging waves wet her hair, and she couldn't tell which river water was or tears were.

After resting for about an hour, Zhao Xingde tied Li Ruoxue tightly behind his back and went back to the Yellow River water. The two of them crossed the river together. This time, he tied a hemp rope around his waist, and the other end of the rope was tied into a large ring and hung on the iron chain. If he failed to hold it tightly, the rope could still save his life.

Li Ruoxue hugged Zhao Xingde's armpits with his hands, his chest and abdomen were tightly pressed against his back, and he felt a fever on his cheeks, and he was so ashamed that he was so embarrassed that his feet were empty. The cold river water soaked his whole body, and his mind suddenly calmed down. Zhao Xingde was moving along the chain to the opposite bank, while Li Ruoxue hugged him tightly. The rushing river water seemed to be whistling by his side, but there was only his back in his eyes, which was even more at ease than when he was on the shore just now. The river water became more and more urgent, and the waves were getting bigger and bigger. She only followed the method Zhao Xingde told, tilting her head upwards and trying hard

Breathing the air with water droplets. Suddenly, a big wave hit the head, and the river water with mud and sand was immediately confused. Then, with a buzz, the blue sky disappeared, as if it had fallen into the water. She tried hard to resist fear and panic. Apart from hugging Zhao Xingde tightly, she did not make any extra struggle. She just tried to hold her breath, waiting for the river water to recede and see the light of day again. However, this time, it seemed too long, and her consciousness gradually blurred, leaving only one thought: "You can't let go, you can't... Yuanzhi..."

With the experience of the first two times, this time, in addition to requiring more strength, Zhao Xingde successfully passed through the torrent in the middle of the river. Li Ruoxue's hands were always holding him tightly. He smiled happily and said, "It's finally here." The beauty behind him did not respond. An ominous warning waved to Zhao Xingde's heart. When he looked back, he saw that Li Ruoxue had already leaned softly on his back.

"Ruoxue!" Zhao Xingde shouted loudly, but she still had no reaction at all.

"Ruoxue, wake up!" His voice was already filled with panic, "You must hold on!"

The Yellow River water poured mercilessly by her side, and the huge waves roaring all over the sky were like clouds and smoke. Zhao Xingde's mind was blank, and he had only one thought in his mind, and he had to save her. His hands were intertwined and moved forward desperately. The chains tightly tied up due to the impact of the river water were also pulled and shaken by him.

Finally, his feet stepped onto the ground on the shore. Zhao Xingde almost lost his strength, but he still hurriedly put Li Ruoxue down from his back. He first knelt on one knee, letting her spit out the mud and water choking into her chest and lungs face down, and then leaned on Li Ruoxue's chest and heard a slight heartbeat. Zhao Xingde was ecstatic and immediately lifted her jaw, pinched the bridge of his nose and blew it into his mouth.

At this moment, time passed as slowly as if it was frozen. Li Ruoxue coughed a few times and woke up slowly. Seeing Zhao Xingde's vague shadow, there seemed to be colorful glows behind him. He couldn't help but murmur: "Yuanzhi, have we been reborn in the Pure Land?"

When she said this, Zhao Xingde couldn't help but cry with joy, holding her face and said, "Yes. Wherever you are, there is the Pure Land." Li Ruoxue smiled slightly and curled his lips and said, "It's smooth and graceful." She also saw clearly that there was the colorful rays behind Zhao Xingde, which were clearly the mist formed by the Yellow River storm on the shore. Under the reflection of the sun, it reflected a colorful and beautiful color like a rainbow.
