    Those boatmen are people who often sail on the Yangtze River and know each section of the waterway very well. About half a day's journey down there, there is a large backwater area.  There, the water is very gentle, making it suitable for anchoring.  Gu Yezhou immediately ordered an emergency rush to the backwater area.  There is no need for Gu Yezhou to be so anxious, those bodyguards have already seen the danger, because as the sun becomes hot and the temperature rises sharply, the snow-capped ice and snow has begun to flow like a melting candle, and water begins to flow and gather.  Flash torrents rushed into the frozen Yangtze River.  The ice on the Yangtze River has also begun to soften. They can no longer enjoy the smooth and comfortable gliding on the ice. The river has become bumpy due to the melting of ice and snow.  Their sleigh and boat also became bumpy. Fortunately, this possibility was fully anticipated when building the ship, so the support frames of the sled were very strong and could withstand the violent bumps without puncturing the bottom of the boat.  Just when everyone was extremely anxious, the old boatman finally shouted: "We're here! It's just in front!" And just then, there was a bang, and a horse fell into the ice hole!  Originally, the Yangtze River was already covered with thick ice, and it was impossible to penetrate the entire ice layer at once. However, the high temperature melted the surface ice, turning the surface ice into ice holes of varying sizes. The melted snow water gathered in  In these places, puddles on the ice formed.  The horse fell into a relatively deep puddle, its legs were broken, and it let out a mournful cry.  Each horse has a rope connected to the ship. When this horse falls, it drags the progress of other horses like an anchor.  The whole ship stopped.  I tried to untie the rope by going down the handlebar.  But the horse was drowned in the pool.  There was no way to untie it, and he didn't have a knife in his hand, so he was anxious.  There was more and more water flowing on the ice surface, and just when everyone was extremely anxious, there was suddenly a loud clicking sound coming from all around!  Everyone hurriedly ran to the side of the boat to take a look, and saw that a huge crack had cracked in the ice full of ice water!  And this crack happened to pass under their sleigh and boat!  If it cracks further, the entire ship may fall into the ice crevice!  Ning Sanmei and Zeng Feixia both screamed.  Zeng Lingmei drew out her sword with a clang, her red dress fluttering.  It flew over the bow of the ship like a roc spreading its wings, landed lightly on the rope, slid down the rope, and landed on the ice.  "Be careful!" Gu Yezhou said urgently.  Zeng Lingmei turned around and smiled. Her smile immediately froze because she felt the biting cold. When she lowered her head, she saw that the ice water had already reached his knees!  This ice melts so fast!  Zeng Lingmei rushed forward through the icy water, and soon reached the pool where the horse fell into the ice hole and broke its leg. She waved her sword.  Cut off the fiber rope.  The handlebars immediately whipped the horse and galloped forward, Zeng Lingmei jumped up.  She grabbed a rope, but instead of climbing onto the boat, she hung there like that.  Soon everyone understood her intention, because there were too many such puddles along the way, and soon a horse fell into the puddle, dragging the horses forward.  Zeng Lingmei fell from the rope, and the water reached the horse. She cut the rope with her sword, and the whole ship could move forward again.  At this time, the ice water that covered Zeng Lingmei had reached her thighs!  The sound of crackling kept sounding, and more and more ice cracks appeared on the entire Yangtze River glacier. They were like the rice fields that dried up in autumn, and their sleds and boats became even more bumpy.  At this time, one after another the horses fell into the pool. Each time, Zeng Lingmei stepped forward and cut off the rope, allowing the sled and boat to continue moving forward.  Finally, the backwater bay is in sight!  Sure enough, it is a return inlet.  The old boatman said anxiously: "We need to bring the boat to the riverside close to the river bank. The water there is shallower and it is easier to anchor!" Ruan Captou said hurriedly: "If it is anchored by the river, will it get stuck there?" No.  When the old boatman spoke, Gu Yezhou was the first to say: "No! After the ice and snow melted, the amount of water increased dramatically. The current riverside will soon become the center of the river! We must continue to move closer to the riverside at any time!"  The boatman quickly shouted and ordered the carriages below to drive the carriage to the river.  But then several more horses fell into the puddle. After cutting the ropes, the remaining horses were no longer strong enough to pull the heavy sleigh and cart sliding on the rugged ice surface.  The old boatman took a look and found that their boat was basically still in the main river and had not yet entered the backwater area. Once the ice and snow on the river melted, it would still be in the dangerous area of ??ice collision, and they would have to move forward to move the entire boat.  Move to the backwater area.  ? ?The boatman said urgently: "Get off the boat! Everyone get off the boat and stretch!" More than a dozen boatmen also knew the danger. At this time, not only because they took other people's money to do things, but also to save their own lives, so they all followed quickly  The old boatman got off the boat along the rope ladder, ran to the front, grabbed the cut rope and started pulling it.  But their strength is still not enough, and the large ships can glide slowly on the rugged ice.  Seeing that the melting ice water was getting deeper and deeper, the cracked ice blocks had begun to separate, and the downward momentum of the ship being impacted by the flowing ice water was getting stronger and stronger. Gu Yezhou said urgently to Ning Sanmei: "You stay here."  The rest of the people on the boat follow me to pull the boat!" He got off the boat along the rope ladder, and the other escorts and agents also followed him, and came to the tow rope in the biting ice water to help pull the rope.  Gu Yezhou was pulling hard when he suddenly heard a familiar gasping sound in his ears. He turned around and saw that it was Ning Sanmei, who was also pulling hard on a rope.  Gu Yezhou was anxious and said: "Didn't I ask you to stay on the boat? What are you doing here!" "I will never leave you until I die!" Ning Sanmei said, pulling the rope hard.  Gu Yezhou didn't bother to persuade her to leave, and pulled her hard.  The big boat finally picked up speed and entered the backwater area. It stopped when it reached the sloping river bank and could no longer move forward.  At this time, an icy river had formed on the icy Yangtze River ice. In the river, countless huge ice cubes collided with each other and made a clanking sound. At this moment, the sound had no musical melody at all.  Instead, it sounded like the terrifying laughter of the God of Death.  Gu Yezhou and the others climbed onto the big ship. The old boatman ordered the anchor to be lowered, and at the same time cut off all the ropes. He shouted and used the ropes to throw the remaining horses onto the big ship.  Gu Yezhou took Ning Sanmei back to the cabin, changed her clothes and came out. She stood by the boat and was stunned.  I saw waves of floods rushing down the mountains on both sides of the Yangtze River and pouring into the Yangtze River. Some were large, some were small, one after another. Soon these water flows were connected to each other, turning the mountains on both sides into  There are rapids and waterfalls, surging ice water sloping down, and the water surface on the Yangtze River glacier rises sharply!  In just one meal, their big boat, which was close to the river bank, had already strayed far away from the river bank.  In fact, not only was their boat washed down and the floodwaters hit the center of the river, but the water level also rose sharply, swallowing up the river banks on both sides.  The old boatman quickly ordered to weigh the anchor, use a long pole to punt the boat, and move towards the river bank.  ?Looking at the center of the Yangtze River, it has become a torrent of rolling ice.  Those ice blocks were as big as a basketball court and as small as a millstone. They were mixed in the rolling torrent and squeezed against each other. The small ice layers were quickly crushed, and the large ice layers were also divided into pieces due to heavy loading and squeezing.  Several chunks.  Everyone was shocked to see that their boat was in the middle of the river.  I'm afraid it has been turned into pieces!  The ice in the backwater area was also melting and breaking, but closer to the river, the ice only melted and split, but did not form a huge impact and squeezing force. Even so, the crunching sound under their big boat still made everyone  Terrified.  There is a small mountain village at the foot of the distant mountains on the river bank. It has been submerged by the cold flood water rushing down from the mountains. The houses are broken like shreds of paper and rushed into the river along with the flood.  You could see people rolling in the flood, calling for help, but no one could save them. They could only watch helplessly as they were swept into the Yangtze River glacier by the flood, and sank in the torrent composed of large and small ice blocks.  The river was widening rapidly, and they kept moving the ship closer to the farther and farther away river.  In the ice and torrent of the Yangtze River, houses, wood, boxes, and countless human and animal corpses washed down by the flood can be seen from time to time.  A catcher looked enviously at the boxes, wood and other things floating down the river, and said, "If you can go down and fish it out, you'll make a fortune." Ruan catcher glared at him and cursed: "You  I'm an old man who hangs himself. I'll crush you into a pulp when I get down!" "Yes, I'll just say it casually." Zeng Feixia said with lingering fear: "Thankfully, sir, I thought of building such a big ship. Otherwise,  If we continue to walk on the official road, we will be just like the villagers in that village!" Ning Sanmei whispered worriedly: "I wonder what happened to my father and the others. They just walked along the official road  …” —————————————————— Just as Ning Sanmei was worried, Father Ning and the others were already in crisis.  After they started eating human flesh, the entire team fell into the huge shadow of death.  The person who fears the most is Mr. Long. Rich people fear death the most, especially starving to death. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?At this moment, Mr. Long can no longer be considered a rich man, because all his land, including those that were exchanged for grain rations, were all exchanged for grain and eaten.  The antiques he exchanged for food rations were also exchanged for food at a very low price. He had no choice. The antiques could not be used as food. If he wanted to survive, he could only accept the low price that made him vomit blood.  “All the land, all the antiques, all the brocade clothes, beddings, and carriages have all become the property of others, and what is left to their family is only the clothes they wear and no longhouse.  And their mansion had already been destroyed by the bandits' fire.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
