Chapter 62 Difficulty on the Way Home
This year's rain is particularly abundant, starting from late June, falling every day. Most of the time it is a shower, and it comes and goes quickly, and some are not, it will be pattering, and the next half day.
It rained and it rained, but the heat was still hot. The water in the river swelled, and it was not easy to take a bath in the river. The potholes on the ground were full of water, and the road was muddy.
The classrooms and dormitories are tile-roofed, and the classrooms are fine, and they are frequently inspected every year. Bedrooms are troublesome. Every dormitory has places where there is a leak. The neatly arranged beds are now one by one. However, it is estimated that everyone has experienced rain leaks in their homes. Young children are also big-hearted. , I didn't take these things to heart, but I felt that the bed was changed to a new place, and it was a bit novel.
Looking at the abnormal weather, the school did not dare to be careless. Several leaders held a meeting and found a few people nearby. While everyone was in class during the day, they checked all the dormitories once, and dredged the channels in front of and behind the house. once again.
This decision was very timely. The master I was looking for had just left, and in the days before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the heavy rain kept falling.
It was raining like this, and Feng Yiping was not worried about the house at home. It was better to go back and have a look. So on Saturday afternoon, he went home for the first time this semester.
It was not easy going home this time.
The river in front of the school has swelled very deep, and the river surface has become wide, nearly 200 meters long. The simple wooden bridge and the river beach exposed when the water is dry are all submerged under water.
Fortunately, the villagers in Linjiawan, who are opposite, walk here every day. From the first to the third grade, seven people in the third grade in the village waited by the river for a while before a villager from Linjiawan also crossed the river.
Watching him take off his trousers, everyone imitated him to take off his trousers. Fortunately, the seven people in the village were all boys, so there was no inconvenience. Wearing only underwear, holding a schoolbag and trousers in one hand, seven people followed him into the water. Feng Hongbing was at the front, Feng Haitao was at the end, and Feng Yiping and the others were caught in the middle.
The villager in Linjiawan didn't walk fast, but he didn't stop to wait for them. In the countryside at this time, there was nothing to worry about when a few children crossed the river like this. To use the popular saying later, "It's not a problem."
Although this section is already shallow, the average water depth is not over the knees, and the deepest part has reached the root of the thigh.
On the contrary, everyone was very excited. After crossing the river, they hung out on the bank for a while, talking and laughing. After they were dry, they put on trousers and continued to walk home.
After climbing another mountain and reaching the second river, the real test begins.
The river is not wide, only more than 20 meters. The section of the river that they often crossed is divided into two parts, and there is a drop of more than one meter between the upper and lower.
The section of the river above is a whole piece of slate. For so many years, it has been washed by the river water so smoothly that not even a grain of sand can be retained. In spring and summer, moss will grow on these slates, and one accidentally stepped on it. , it is easy to slip.
The end of the upper section is like a natural stone embankment, more than a meter higher than the lower section. Below the stone embankment, near the middle, there is a round pool with a diameter of about three meters. I don't know how it was formed. With such a drop of more than one meter, the river water flowing down cannot be so big or so deep. a pool.
This pool is bottomless, and at any time, it looks like the water inside is blue-green. No one really knows how deep it is. So far, no one has the leisure to test it.
The section of the river below is very messy, with large rocks and muddy ground. Therefore, people who cross the river usually walk from the top. When the water is shallow, they walk on the stone slabs that are exposed to the surface of the water. Anyway, most of the time of the year, you don't need to take off your shoes when crossing this river.
Usually, the water in the above section is cool and translucent, at most not over the instep. Many children like them, when it is not cold, like to step on the smooth stone slab with bare feet and run around in the upper section.
It's different now. It's still far from the river, and the roar of the river is rushing towards the face with the water vapor. The gap in the middle can no longer be seen, the upper and lower sections have become one, and the familiar river embankment can't be seen either.
The water is not calm, because the river is narrow, so it feels quite rough. Especially at the upper corner, the upstream water surged down, slapping on the stone wall of that corner, and the water splashed high.
Seeing such a situation, Feng Yiping was a little discouraged. The river was so deep and so urgent that he, a land duck, went down to deliver vegetables to the river god.
His companions didn't have such concerns. Some of them were still waving their schoolbags and running towards the river with a "wow" cry. They looked very excited.
It's also normal. At this time, these children are somewhat in awe of their parents and teachers. As for other aspects, there should be no concept of "fear". If there is a tiger in front of you, don't talk about such trivial things as touching its butt, it is estimated that there are Many people will press the tiger's head and rub it fiercely.
Therefore, in the face of such a scene, Feng Yiping, a man in his thirties, was a little clueless and a little scared. Other people are different. This kind of thing doesn’t happen every year, and they are quite happy when they encounter it once. As for fear, they might be washed away by the river, but they don’t have these thoughts at all.
Men, it is estimated that when they were young, they were the most daring, the most authentic, who liked challenges the most, and liked to face difficulties the most. As for the consequences of the challenge, I don't even think about it at all. When encountering a problem, I instinctively rush forward.
When you grow up, the more you understand, the more you have to weigh. If you think about things before and after, you will never be able to find this energy again. Sometimes, I really can't tell whether this is maturity, progress, or growth back.
Everyone was excited, but not reckless. In the current situation, of course, you can't take it away from the top. If you accidentally step on it, you will slip, or you will be washed away by the water and fall into the pool. No matter how good the water is, you can't get out.
Among the seven people, only Feng Yiping and the other do not know water, the others are fine, I don't know if it has something to do with the name, the best water is Feng Haitao.
Under everyone's attention, he took off only a pair of underpants three times and two times. It must be said that he was really thin, and his ribs, oh no, he could clearly see every rib.
Based on memory, everyone chose a relatively flat place below, and Feng Haitao smiled and prepared to go into the water.
Feng Yiping immediately called for an emergency stop, and everyone was stunned and looked at him puzzled.
Feng Wen was also undressing when he heard the words, "What's the matter with Yiping, do you want to take the lead?"
Feng Hongbing said, "Don't worry about that. His density is too high, and it sinks when he enters the water." Everyone laughed when he heard it.
Feng Haitao dipped his hands in the river water and patted his chest, "Don't worry, I'll try the water first, and then I'll take you there."
Feng Yiping went over to hold him, "Wait a minute, let's take some insurance measures!"
Everyone was undressing. Feng Hongbing and Feng Wen were wearing underwear and came to the river with clothes and schoolbags. Feng Hongbing said, "What kind of insurance do you need? This is not the first time we have crossed the river like this."
Feng Wen said, "Besides, what insurance measures can we have now?"
Although the other six people were older than him, Feng Yiping always regarded himself as the only adult here. In this case, of course, he was responsible for everyone's safety. He persuaded everyone earnestly, "There's no harm in being safe, go there and cut a few kudzu vines, and pull them when you go into the water, so that if there is a big wave or something, people won't be washed away."
Feng Wen laughed at him, "Yiping, do you watch too much TV or novels?"
The older Feng Hongbing and Feng Haitao also felt that this was not necessary, but Feng Yiping insisted that because of his various performances, his opinion still has a bit of weight, and in the end, Feng Haitao made the rounds, "Yiping is right, there is no harm in doing so. "
After going through the barber shop, Feng Hongbing also changed his views on Feng Yiping, so in the end, it was Feng Hongbing, Feng Haitao got dressed, and Feng Yiping went to cut the kudzu.
