Chapter 168 Drifting
The fat man took Altaïr to the pine forest before dark. Several resentful spirits had carefully searched the entire pine forest and confirmed that there were no powerful monsters appearing.
As for the few ordinary beasts, they all became fat people's suppers.
Because he was afraid that the fragrance of food would attract powerful monsters, the fat man swallowed and peeled a few wild beasts alive. This made him feel as if he had returned to the days when he was eating raw meat and drinking blood three years ago...
After eating and drinking, the fat man wiped out all the bloody smell, and then summoned more than a dozen skeleton soldiers to cut trees and get pine resin. He himself dig a soil stove on the spot, lit a fire and put it in a pottery pot to boil resin and refine glue.
Altay was confused so he wanted to help but couldn't start.
Then he saw the fat man take out several tough water monster skins from his bag for cutting and sewing. He took the initiative to come forward to help and sew them together to sew them into large skin bags.
After sewing more than a dozen large leather bags, the fat man tied these large leather bags together and wrapped a layer of thick leather outside to make the shape of a kayak. In this way, there is no need to worry about a leak in the air, which will cause the entire kayak to be scrapped directly. In addition, in order to prevent the kayak from being cut by the reef, the fat man added three thick leather layers to the bottom of the boat.
Finally, apply rosin glue to the suture to prevent air leakage. An inflatable kayak that is more than three meters long and nearly two meters wide is completed.
Looking at the ugly handmade kayak, Altay couldn't help but worry: "Sir, what kind of kayak can really take us to drift in the turbulent river?"
While defying the skin bags one by one, folding them into your bag, the fat man said, "If you don't believe it, you can run along the shore tomorrow with your feet."
Altay was speechless. Seeing the fat man taking out his axe, saw and a large bundle of cables, he said in surprise: "Sir, isn't the kayak done?"
"The kayak is done, but I like double insurance when doing things. Now you can help me cut some wood. Remember, it's the kind that's light and tough."
After a busy night, the fat man finished all the work before dawn. Then after a full meal, he took Altaïr directly to cross mountains and rivers to the riverside.
But when the fat man arrived at the riverside, it was noon.
The fat man first found a place where he could go into the water, then took out his skin on the shore and blew air with Altay to assemble the entire kayak.
One of the hard work completed the assembly work, the fat man took out two steel helmets and two long paddles and Altaïr one, and instructed: "I am responsible for controlling the direction, you are responsible for rowing, be careful to avoid those reefs."
"clear."
"Set off!"
The fat man and Altay were wearing steel helmets, and each of them pushed the kayak into the rolling river water, then quickly jumped up and sat down.
"Click the seat belt and don't get thrown off."
The kayak circle was tied with anti-slip cables, and the fat man and Altaïr quickly tied the rope cover on their body with the cables on the kayak.
At this time, the turbulent river water had pushed the kayak to the center of the river and ran downstream along the rolling river water.
"Statuate the direction first, listen to my command, and take the left." The fat man sat in front and inserted the long oar into the right side and rowed desperately. Altay, who was sitting behind, followed the order to take the port side. The two of them tried their best to adjust the uncontrolled and rotating kayak back.
"Stop!" The fat man shouted loudly, and a wave hit his face as soon as the bow of the boat pressed on him.
The river water is all the snow water flowing from the snow-capped mountains. It is cold and the fat man's skin is numb immediately after being frozen, but he doesn't care at all.
Altayne cooperated with the fat man's command and tried hard to control the kayak to run rapidly in the turbulent river.
"Be careful! There is a rocky beach in front of you!" The fat man reminded loudly.
"See!" Altaïr held the long oar tightly, knowing that the time for the test was coming.
The turbulent river water did not give the two people much time to prepare, so they directly pushed the kayak into the rocky beach.
Pieces of round, smooth or angular boulders swept quickly by the kayak. The fat man sitting in front waved his long oars and blocked the left and right, and could always support the kayak to avoid the dangerous reefs.
Altay, who was sitting behind, kept switching paddles left and right, trying to maintain the drifting posture of the kayak. At this moment, he had no time to think about whether it was exciting or not, and he was just trying hard to row.
The two of them cooperated at once, but they seemed to be intimate with each other's hearts. In fact, the fat man could directly and clearly pass on his commands to each other through soul communication.
"Be careful! It's going to fly!" the fat man suddenly reminded.
"Fly?" Altay was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw a cliff-like waterfall in front of him.
The waterfall is not high, only three or four meters, but it is a nightmare for any ship, because such a high drop is enough to break the keel of any wooden ship.
It was time to say that, and just a few seconds after the fat man reminded him, the kayak flew straight out of the cliff under the push of the boiling water, and slid four or five meters away and slapped heavily on the water.
"ah!!!"
Bang!!!
Altaïr felt that his bones were almost falling apart.
"Hahaha, it's so exciting!" The fat man laughed loudly.
Altay said with a dark face: "Sir, please feel free to remind you earlier if you encounter this situation next time."
"Have you been sent to the front to tell me, "I have already sent a grudge to the point where I can do my best to avoid those dangerous areas."
Altay sighed, what else could he say, anyway, he had already boarded the pirate ship.
Fortunately, after passing the cliff waterfall, the river water was relatively gentle, which allowed the two to breathe a sigh of relief and rest for a while.
The fat man took out a piece of barbecue left over from the morning and stuffed it into his mouth to replenish his strength. He took out a wine pot and took a big mouthful. Shi Xing said: "Ha, the turbidity is rolling for eight thousand miles, not as good as a drop of mellowness in the pot... hiccup!"
Altay reminded: "Sir, we haven't left the dangerous place yet, please drink less."
"Don't worry, I'm not drunk for a thousand cups." The fat man drank another sip of strong wine, and suddenly the kayak bumped, causing a cold wave to pour on his face.
"Ahem, kid, bah, bah." The fat man wiped the river water and said with a frown: "Damn, the whirlpool is coming from there? Sit firmly! We're going to speed up!"
I saw a large vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the river in front of me.
Altay's heart immediately raised to his throat and asked nervously: "Sir, do we want to avoid it?"
"No!" The fat man danced his long oars and said in a deep voice: "This vortex is a bit big, and we can't avoid it unless we run to the shore. Speed up and we have to rush over."
After all, Altaire grew up by the beach when he was a child, so he knew how to escape from the danger when a boat encountered a whirlpool. He immediately cooperated with the fat man to row desperately and accelerate the kayak.
The fat man sitting in front paddling while adjusting the angle of the kayak cutting into the vortex.
