Chapter 459 Boat Tour on the Yulong River
Chapter 459 Boat Tour on the Yulong River
"Zimo should stay with us! Mrs. Li, go to that ship with Qiuli. We'll take Wenya with us. Just keep the two ships away from each other."
Although Qiuli can swim, the Yulong River is different from the lotus pond at home, so Grandma Yan rearranges her arrangements out of caution.
He asked Qiuli to follow him, and Zimo also called the familiar water-based guards to board the boat here.
The cruise ship is quite new, with a scarlet roof and colorful ribbons tied around the railings. It looks quite festive.
Luo Mei was the first to be carried onto the boat. Seeing that the boat lost its balance due to their entry, and suddenly bumped a few times, Wen Ya looked a little scared and held Luo Mei's clothes tightly with both hands.
In the end, I felt less nervous when I saw Chu Chu also getting on the boat. However, I didn’t rush over to join them. I just let Luo Mei hug me tightly and sit on one of the stools. I looked at the festive decoration of the boat and fumbled around. a while.
The river water is still very turbid, but it can be seen that it is not as shallow as other river sections, and it is not the kind where the stones below can be exposed.
The boatman was struggling to hold the pole, and the three-foot-long bamboo pole was barely half covered with water. This showed that the river bottom was quite deep, and the cruise ship could indeed travel freely.
The location for boarding the boat is upstream, and there is less water further upstream, so there is no turbulent water flow. The river surface is very stable, and the boat flows from top to bottom.
There was a person at the helm and a boatman rowing the sculls slowly and leisurely. As the cruise ship moved forward, the scenery on both sides of the river slowly receded, allowing Chu Chu to relax slightly from the intense work he had been doing in the past few days.
The two cruise ships that had just started in front seemed to be far away from them, and now only two small dots were visible.
The water was turbid and no fish could be seen, so naturally everyone could only look towards the two banks.
The river bank is very high, and green grass has begun to sprout on the river slopes on both sides. There are occasionally a few plum trees that seem to have not yet begun to sprout, but because the white plum blossoms above have already bloomed, there are some. Something new.
Only here can people feel that spring has quietly arrived.
Perhaps because of the proximity to the water source, there seemed to be more trees on both sides than in other places. There were hundreds of trees in the forest, but not many had sprouted.
"What's that green in the distance?"
The rower was a man in his forties. When Chu Chu asked, he looked forward and said, "At this time, the only thing so green is bamboo."
Everyone was attracted by Chu Chu's voice. Following her fingers, they saw clusters of greenery in front of them. They didn't look like bushes because they were still quite tall.
Sure enough, the boat rowed a few dozen feet further and saw a few clumps of bamboo leaning out from the shore. There were not many bamboo leaves. The leaves must have just grown up, and they were a very tender yellow-green color. , but it was enough to surprise them.
Looking closer, I found that bamboo shoots were growing from the roots of the bamboo. Although there were not many, they were the strongest vitality.
"Grandma, this bamboo is quite durable." Seeing the bamboo shoots and the greenery, Chu Chu felt the beauty of spring, and her mood improved a lot.
During this period, everything I see is gray, and my heart seems to have been poisoned by the haze, and I can't find the energy to do anything. The feeling now is: hold on until the clouds clear.
"This doesn't mean long-term endurance. In the spring, there are many bitter bamboo shoots and sweet bamboo shoots growing on Auntama Mountain. Even in winter, there are winter bamboo shoots. Even in a year of severe drought, the best ones are bamboo.
And those roots will grow wherever they take root. Didn’t you know that if you plant one or two small bamboos in front of and behind your house, they will grow into a large clump in less than two years? "
Chuchu listened to her grandma quietly, recalling the good times of Auntama Mountain, and enjoyed this rare comfort without saying a word.
On both sides of the river bank, there is a small island in the middle. The island is long and can accommodate four or five boats. However, it occupies a long section of the river, but it does not affect the cruise ships traveling on both sides.
"Boatman, can we stop there?" Seeing that the two boats in front had stopped, and the people on board were jumping to the island like ants, Chu Chu couldn't help but be curious.
The island looks quite nice. It would be nice to go down there and play in the water. Unfortunately, it’s not summer.
Walking further, you can see that those who got off the boat seemed to be scholars. They were all wearing moon-white gowns. They looked like teenagers. They were a little taller than the brothers at home. Most of them should be around fourteen or fourteen. Five years old.
A man who looked like a gentleman got off one of the boats. It was obvious that he was a teacher from the college taking students out for a spring outing.
"The cruise ship has to stop for a while when it reaches the island, and it takes two-quarters of an hour to move on."
"Yeah! That's great, miss. There may be teal ducks. How many of them should we shoot and stew?"
Qiuli was the most excited. She also heard what the boatman said in the boat behind.
Her hands are much stronger now. Although she still uses a small bow and arrow, she feels that if she can practice with wild animals now, she will definitely be able to pierce the heart with one arrow.
"The wild duck doesn't have much meat. It would be a nice sight if there is one, so let it go."
Although Chu Chu likes hunting, she feels that even some small animals are very rare to see such a rare good scenery, so she feels it is a pity to shoot them to death.
"When there is a chance in the future, we will go hunting with Uncle Zimo."
Seeing Qiuli's head drooping because of her words, Chu Chu quickly comforted her, saying that she hadn't hunted since she came back from the North. Although the wild animals in the space were all made into dry goods in batches and moved out, But there is absolutely no shortage of the dozens of animals they hunted.
As expected, Qiuli became excited again after saying this.
The boatman's words made them very happy. The more scenery there is, the more fun they will have. They are naturally happy to be able to go down and play for a while, but they all still lament that it is not summer now.
The island looks relatively low, and the water next to it doesn't look that deep.
The main thing is that the middle of the island is full of greenery. I am afraid that this is the most beautiful scenery in the entire Fang County at this time. The grass is a bit long.
Seeing that their two boats had also docked, the students who had just been washing their hands and playing in the water on the shore quickly stepped aside and retreated to the middle of the island, freeing up the space to go ashore.
After the guards and Qiuli got off the boat, Luo Mei carefully carried Wen Ya off, followed by Chu Chu and Grandma Yan.
Everyone on the two boats got off, and the people on the island immediately became lively.
Wenya jumped away as soon as she got down, not looking scared at all. Qiuli quickly went over to protect her, fearing that she would go to the river bank unaware of the danger.
Sure enough, children all like nature, and their playful nature is revealed as soon as they go outside.
