After agreeing, sinks down then gives the horses in the bold couple looks, oneself are supporting the small boat, swings toward the river. 议定之后,沈落便将马匹交给于大胆夫妇照看,自己则撑着小舟,朝着河中荡去。 When near embarking, in bold has not forgotten also to urge carefully, for fear that he has what accident/surprise, sinks down naturally does not dare to neglect regarding this, remembered the situation of each section in detail, item that as well as needs to pay attention. 临出发时,于大胆还不忘又细细叮嘱了一番,生怕他出什么意外,沈落对此自然不敢怠慢,详细地记下了各个河段的情况,以及需要注意的事项。 The woman added the clean potable water to the ship on, carried several wheat pancakes and some dried meat from the family/home, is wrapping with the linen, must sink down actually brings on the ship to eat. 那妇人更是给船上添了干净的饮水,又从家里端出了几块烙饼和一些肉干,用麻布包裹着,硬是要沈落带着船上吃。 Sinks down the difficult to turn down an offer make with such warmth, then also received the package with a smile. 沈落盛情难却,便也笑着将包裹收了下来。 The black awning small boat following the rapid river water drift, sinking down stands in the bow, in the hand is grasping the bamboo punt-pole, actually does not support the boat, but is searching the reef in the both sides water of small boat one by one. 乌篷小舟顺着湍急的河水漂流而下,沈落站在船头,手里握着竹篙,却并不撑舟,而是一下一下地在小舟的两侧水里探着礁石。 Quick, the small boat bypassed the clumps of simultaneous/uniform Rengao reed, entered in a reed marsh. 很快,小舟就绕过了一丛丛齐人高的芦苇,进入了一片芦苇荡中。 According to bold, when this section is the entire mountain range water river, appearance of the water most rapid one, the small boat just entered the water the speed is not too quick, but more swims to go to the speed to increase downward quickly on the extreme speed, sinks down has to start to search the bottom with the bamboo punt-pole, comes to decelerate for the small boat. 根据于大胆所述,这一河段是整条峦水河,水势最为湍急的一段,小舟刚入水时速度还不算太快,可越往下游而去速度就极速增快,以至于沈落不得不开始用竹篙探底,来为小舟减速。 He is really out of practice regarding the poling a boat incident, has nothing in the tranquil water surface, in this turbulent current, although he has concentrated on, still knocked unavoidably. 只是他对于撑船一事实在手生,在平静水面倒还没什么,在这种激流中,尽管他已经全神贯注,仍是免不了磕磕碰碰。 „Bang, bang, bang” “砰,砰,砰” East the boat Xidang, hits unceasingly in the hidden rock under river surface, is startled in the two sides reeds the fu wild goose to graze, the waterfowl soars. 小船东偏西荡,不断撞击在河面下的暗礁上,惊得两边芦苇丛中凫雁飞掠,水鸟腾空。 When meets some big turbulent flows and hidden rocks, he must put together to go all-out to support is opening out the ship, once otherwise is involved, even the slightest misstep then has the capsized boat risk. 遇到一些大的涡流和暗礁时,他还得拼尽全力撑着将船拨开,否则一旦卷入,稍有不慎便有覆舟之虞。 Sinking down on was quickly tired the whole body to sweat, saw stars, but under the appearance of the water compelled, could not allow him to rest, can only clench teeth to support by hard and stubborn effort. 沈落很快就累得浑身冒汗,眼冒金星了,可水势所逼之下,又容不得他歇息,只能咬牙硬撑着。 All the way, he particularly pays attention to the both sides river banks, observes whether has the place of river course squeezing, but because in the river the reed is high and dense, his line of sight was affected, cannot see clearly accurately, can only depend on the appearance of the water change judgment as far as possible. 一路上,他分外留意两侧河岸,观察是否有河道收窄之处,可由于河中芦苇又高又密,他的视线受到影响,并不能准确看清,只能尽可能地依着水势变化判断。 After all the place of river course squeezing, the velocity of flow will also speed up. 毕竟河道收窄之处,水流速度也会加快。 Sank down has wandered 78 li (0.5 km), the chaotic shitan has not met along the way, some mid-river sandbars were actually many. 沈落就这么一直这么漂流了七八里,沿途乱石滩没有遇到,一些河心沙洲倒是不少。 His ship dug in two long and narrow Sha Chau on the front surface. 他的船就迎面扎入了两道狭长沙洲之中。 In Sha Chau all was covered with the azure reed, probably clamped a natural canal, the boat just the line into , the speed sped up suddenly, flushed suddenly. 沙洲上全都长满了青色的芦苇,像是夹出了一道天然水道,小船刚行入其中,速度就骤然加快,猛然冲了出去。 „Bang” a dull thumping sound, boat, when runs out of the clump of reeds, suddenly is fierce shakes. “砰”的一声闷响,小船在冲出苇丛的时候,突然剧烈一震。 Figure that sinks down staggers, almost plants to fall from the bow. 沈落的身形一个踉跄,差点从船头栽落下去。 He is supporting the bamboo punt-pole, stands firm the figure, faces forward to size up, sees only in front of the bow, hits unexpectedly, in a stretch of surrounding area had on dozens zhang (3.33 m) chaotic shitan fully, fortunately the boat lumber is solid, has not collided and damaged actually. 他撑着竹篙,稳住身形,朝前一打量,只见船头前边,竟是撞在了一片方圆足有数十丈大小的乱石滩上,所幸小船木料结实,倒是没有撞坏。 Unlike these sandbars that see along the way, on the chaotic shitan is completely the grayish white pebbles and silts of some fist sizes, but with place that the bow bumps into, has together is bigger than much the brown river reef other stones. 与沿途见到的那些沙洲不同,乱石滩上尽是些拳头大小的灰白卵石和泥沙,而与船头相撞的地方,却有一块远比其他石头大得多的褐色河礁。 This stone is not only much longer strangely, be only two chi (0.33 m) come tall reveal on the water surface, more parts are hidden in underwater. 这块石头不但长得嶙峋古怪,而且只有两尺来高露在水面上,更多的部分则隐没于水下。 But bow good skillful unfortunately, was the card in the scoop channel of this rock, fortunately has not damaged. 而船头好巧不巧,正是卡在了这块怪石的一处凹槽内,所幸并没有损坏。 Sank down sized up the moment toward the two sides river bank, discovered that the two sides river courses to here, obviously squeezed, the corners of the mouth revealed wipe the happy expression. 沈落朝着两边河岸打量了片刻,发现两边河道到了这里,明显收窄了许多,嘴角露出一抹笑意。 „River course squeezing place, the chaotic shitan, the underwater river reef, seem to should be here.” Sinks down mutters. “河道收窄处,乱石滩,水下河礁,看起来应该就是这里了。”沈落喃喃道。 Defers to the view of flame, their family/home ancestors in a quarry stone Tanxia, found that nameless heavenly book initially, at present this place tallies actually. 按照于焱的说法,他们家先祖当初就是在一片乱石滩下,找到了那本无名天书,眼下这地方倒是十分吻合。 This thinks that needs one to search, has not thought that has not spent the too big time. 本以为需要好一番寻觅,没想到也没花费太大功夫。 Sank down to throw the chaotic shitan the bamboo punt-pole, bending down the bow was the string tied up in the river reef, made an effort to entrain entraining, the definite ship cannot again after the water floated, sits in the cabin, poured backward. 沈落将竹篙扔上了乱石滩,俯身把船头系着的绳子绑在了河礁上,用力拽了拽,确定船不会再随水漂走后,才一屁股坐在船舱,向后倒了下去。 Just now supports the boat the line, he is exhausted, at this moment let alone is under the river looks for the heavenly book, was jumps down the strength of bow not to have. 方才一路撑舟而行,他早已精疲力竭,此刻别说是下河找天书,就是跳下船头的力气都没了。 Sank down rested for a long time , after eating dry rations, finally slow one breath, stood. 沈落歇了许久,又吃了点干粮后,才终于缓过一口气,重新站了起来。 He holds one bunch of thumb-thick hemp ropes from the cabin, tied up firmly in that river reef, entangled two on own waist is, then jumped down the ship, arrived on the chaotic shitan. 他从船舱里抱出一捆拇指粗细的麻绳,一头牢牢绑在了那块河礁上,一头在自己腰上缠了两圈系好,然后才跳下了船,来到了乱石滩上。 The chaotic shitan shape sub-elliptical, is consistent with the fluent direction, the thing is long and narrow, the north and south are slightly narrow, that river reef stands and waits for a long time west the shitan, sinking down stands by the stone, sizes up toward Hasuri. 乱石滩形状近似椭圆,与水流方向一致,东西狭长,南北稍窄,那块河礁伫立于石滩西头,沈落站在石头旁,朝河水里打量起来。 Seeing only the river water is quiet, exudes the light mud fishy smell, near the vicinity shitan is exuding the white spray, on the distant place river surface floats the vortex that sizes are varying, cannot see the water following condition. 只见河水幽黑,泛着淡淡的泥腥味儿,近处石滩边泛着白色浪花,远处河面上则浮着一个个大小不一的漩涡,根本看不到水下面的状况。 He calms down slightly, finds out a foot, takes a step cautiously toward the water. 他稍稍定了定神,探出一只脚,小心翼翼地朝着水中迈步过去。 Finally the water's edge quarry stone is loose, a stress then slides to below slightly suddenly. 结果水边乱石松散,稍一受力便突然向下一滑。 Sinks down makes a false step unexpectedly, „pū passes” one, fell into the river. 沈落蓦地一脚踩空,“噗通”一声,跌进了河中。 Here river water is quite deep, his whole person buried in the water, was flushed by the rapid river water fiercely, the back hit directly on that giant stone, could not bear opens mouth, choked into several big river water that directly is mixing the silt. 此处河水颇深,他整个人都埋入了水中,又被湍急的河水猛地一冲,后背直接撞在了那块巨石上,忍不住一张嘴,直接呛入了几大口混合着泥沙的河水。 Startled, he is busy at struggling turning around, the hand is grabbing that giant stone to climb up upwardly, finds out the water surface the head, inspires fiercely, immediately coughed fiercely. 惊慌之下,他忙挣扎着转身,手抓着那块巨石向上攀爬,将头探出水面,猛地吸了一口气,随即剧烈地咳嗽了起来。 „......” “咳咳……” Sank down slow the god to come, to put out a hand to wipe on a face some little time the river water, in the heart somewhat was still still shaken. 沈落好一会儿才缓过神来,伸手抹了一把脸上河水,心中兀自有些惊魂未定。 „This place also is really the danger, if not so, that nameless heavenly book not in this so for a long time, no one found.” Sinks down is so thinking, in the heart regarding the hope of nameless heavenly book was even more intense. “这地方还真是危险,不过若非如此,那无名天书也不会在此如此长时间,也没人找到了。”沈落如此想着,心中对于无名天书的渴望愈发强烈了。 This time, he deeply inspires, holds one's nose, toward underwater sank fiercely, one is hand-held behind giant stone, bit by bit toward underwater searched. 这一次,他深吸了一口气,才捏着鼻子,猛地朝水下沉了下去,一手扶着身后的巨石,一点一点朝着水下探了下去。 After entering the water, he opened the eyes slowly, in the discovery river the water quality somewhat is muddy, is unable to see clearly too, definitely is unable to look too, can only rely on the assistance of river reef, touches as far as possible toward the river bottom. 入水之后,他慢慢睁开了双眼,却发现河中水质有些混浊,根本无法看清太多,也完全无法看得太远,只能凭借着河礁的辅助,尽可能朝河底摸去。 Those who surprised him somewhat was, this river bed was quite unexpectedly deep, when his both feet stepped in the silt of river bottom, is suppressing that tone is insufficient. He is suppressing the feeling of suffocation, stares the river bottom of big eye toward quarry stone Tanxia to look diligently, is dim saw that in as if somewhat cannot see the depth the mud hole pit hole, does not look clearly, was busy at searching the hand to try to find out in the past. 令他有些意外的是,这处河床竟然颇深,等他双脚踩在河底的泥沙上时,憋着的那口气已经不够用了。他强忍着窒息的感觉,努力瞪大眼睛朝乱石滩下的河底望去,朦朦胧胧间就看到里面似乎有些看不出深浅的泥窟石洞,也看不真切,忙探手过去摸索。 Touched a small little while, the long-term obturation, made him muzzy, the chest was sad, then can only hold that to climb little, returned aquatic. 只是才摸了一小会儿,长时间的闭气,就令他头脑发昏,胸口沉闷,便只能扶着那块又一点点爬升,回到了水上。 Sinks down the big mouth place sorption air, the chest is fluctuating fiercely. 沈落大口地吸着空气,胸口剧烈起伏着。 After the aura was slightly gentle some, he throws into the water, sank toward the river bottom. 等到气息稍微平缓了一些后,他又一头扎进水里,朝着河底沉了下去。 This time, to strive many in river bottom later, the speed that he sinks was faster, arrived at the river bottom, in underwater tried to find out immediately. 这一次,为了争取在河底多待一会儿,他下沉的速度快了许多,一到了河底,就立马在水下摸索起来。 Under water dim, there is a silt to exude, the eye can help busy minimal, sinks down can only seem like a fly that does not have the head, one paws. 只是水底昏暗,又有泥沙泛起,眼睛能够帮到的忙微乎其微,沈落就只能像是个没头的苍蝇,一顿乱摸。 Before long, the aura exhausts, he then can only return again. 不一会儿,气息耗尽,他便只能再次返回。 When restores after slightly, is busy at throwing into the river bottom, tries to find out everywhere in quarry stone Tanxia. 等到稍稍恢复之后,又忙一头扎进河底,在乱石滩下四处摸索起来。 After several back and forth, when sinks down floats the water surface air change, the whole person is tired and cold, the lip exuded several points of blue and purple. 几个来回之后,沈落浮上水面换气时,整个人是又累又冷,嘴唇都泛起了几分青紫。 He is holding that river reef, raises head to look slightly toward the western sky, discovered that Sun has started to set in the west. 他抱着那块河礁,略微仰头朝着西边的天空望去,发现太阳已经开始西斜了。 „Tries again......” “再试试……” Sinks down both eyes to congeal, fiercely and inspires, the whole person sinks to below again, dived toward the river bottom. 沈落双目一凝,猛地又吸了一口气,整个人再次向下一沉,朝着河底潜了下去。 The mud hole pit hole under river reef, had almost been traced by him, he then bypasses the stone, swam toward the quarry stone Tannan side in the past, the palm pasted the river bed to touch toward inside. 河礁下的一个个泥窟石洞,几乎已经被他摸了个遍,他便绕过石头,朝着乱石滩南侧游了过去,手掌贴着河床往里面摸。 This time, when his right hand squeezes through not a big hole taking bearing inside, the fingertip touched one suddenly with the stone entirely different thing. 这一次,当他的右手挤过一个不大的孔洞探向里面时,指尖忽然触摸到了一个与石头迥然不同的东西。
