subvert the late Tang Dynasty

In the Hukou Waterfall Scenic Area, the Yellow River rushes through the Qianlilong Gorge. The 400-meter-wide river channel is narrowed to about 50 meters by the stone walls on both sides of the Hukou, and the water flow becomes urgent.

The rushing turbid river beat relentlessly on the rocks on both sides, broke into countless pieces, and then turned into tiny water droplets, which continued to merge into the raging waves.Then there was a drop in the river channel, and the majestic river water flew down and fell into the ten-mile dragon trough, stirring up billowing water mist, just like a huge kettle pouring boiling water.

Its momentum is like thousands of troops and horses, and its sound is like thunderclaps. It really has the momentum of thousands of mountains collapsing and the world overturning.

Zhu Riguang was shocked. He had only seen the tranquil Yellow River before. It was as gentle as a loving mother's hand, flowing gently across the land of China, like a loving mother stroking a child's hair.But the Yellow River here is furious, roaring, and ruthless.

He felt an inexplicable fear, he thought what would happen if a person fell into the surging turbidity?He dare not think.

This is not the flood season of the Yellow River. If it is in March in Yangchun, the mountains are full of brilliant wild peach blossoms, the ice and snow melt suddenly, and the roaring turbid waves carry countless ice blocks, what kind of momentum will it be?It is said that during the flood season, the river swells, the main and auxiliary waterfalls can be more than [-] meters wide in a line, and the water mist stirred up by the torrent is tens of meters high.How spectacular would the Hukou Waterfall be at that time?

The Yellow River is the mother river of China, which has bred Chinese civilization for thousands of years, but she has also brought countless disasters to the Chinese nation for thousands of years.Throughout the history of ancient China, how many people were killed by floods in the Yellow River for years?How many people are displaced?She conceives life, and at the same time devours life, gong?too?Who can say clearly.

Suddenly, his wife Xiaohui screamed excitedly: "Rainbow, look, what a beautiful rainbow!"

The sound of the waterfall is very loud. If the two of them were not so close and her voice was surprisingly loud, it would be hard to hear what she was saying. It's like a dragon absorbing water.Xiaohui hugged her son Xiaoxuan in one hand, and excitedly took pictures with the camera in the other hand. After all, things like rainbows are rarely seen in the city. No wonder she was so excited.

Zhu Riguang was sweating for a while, he was so busy admiring the scenery, his wife and children were forgotten, he hurriedly took his son from his wife.The son was a little scared, and hugged Zhu Riguang's neck tightly, "Father, Xiaoxuan is afraid."

Zhu Riguang held his son tightly in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, with daddy here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

Xiaoxuan raised his head, looked at his father's face, summoned up his courage and said, "Yes, mother said that father is a soldier, a great hero who defends his family and the country, and Xiaoxuan is not afraid of anything with his father around."

Zhu Riguang is a soldier, a cook to be precise, and he has been a cook in the army for eight years.This time I went home to visit relatives and accompanied my wife Xiaohui to see Hukou Waterfall. My wife became a middle school teacher after graduating from university, and my son Xiaoxuan was just over three years old.

His wife Xiaohui said: "If the rivers on both sides are full of water during the flood season, the water flow will be much faster. However, there are also big summers, when there is a lot of rainfall in the upper reaches, then the river will be wider and more urgent, and even rush with mudslides. And down, forming a flood peak like a sea tide. At that time, if there is someone on the river bed here, it will be too late to run, and they will be swallowed by the roaring river."

Zhu Riguang thought that being educated is different. Although it was the first time for his wife to come to Hukou Waterfall, she seemed to know everything.Zhu Riguang said: "Then we are not very dangerous now?"

The wife giggled and said: "Where is it so exaggerated? In ancient times, the ships from the north and the south had to go ashore when they traveled here. The travelers and their goods had to be carried by carts. The boats had to be pulled ashore and dragged by donkeys and horses. They had to pass through the lower reaches of Hukou. The ten-mile river channel can continue to enter the water, there is a saying of "boat sailing on dry land".

Zhu Riguang asked doubtfully, "Can boats be sailed on dry land?"

"Riding a boat on dry land means dragging a boat on this dry river bed. Do you think that people in ancient times could really sail on dry land? If flood peaks come every now and then, who would dare to pull on this river bed?"

Zhu Riguang couldn't help smiling, in fact, he also knew about sailing on dry land, and he often read some books on literature and history when the army was free.It's just that sometimes I don't want to show too much in front of her, so that my wife can feel more proud.

While the two were chatting and laughing, Zhu Riguang raised his head suddenly, and suddenly saw a yellow line rolling towards the sky, he was shocked, "Hong Feng! I'm such a crow's mouth."

After all, he was a soldier, so he reacted quickly and shouted: "The flood is coming, run!"

He hurriedly hugged his son, dragged his wife and ran towards the shore. Although Zhu Riguang was a cook, he had not neglected training in the army for eight years, and his physique was beyond comparison.

Zhu Riguang walked like flying, and he only had one thought in his mind, which was to try his best to run out, otherwise it would mean death.

Finally he ran out of the range of the river bed and reached the high place on the bank, his heart beating non-stop.Glancing at each other with his wife, they both saw the other's pale face, and they couldn't help but feel a little scared when they thought of the thrill just now.

"Hurry up and save my granddaughter! Hurry up..." An old voice sounded behind Zhu Riguang, the voice was full of panic and anxiety.

Zhu Riguang suddenly saw a teenage girl running towards the bank in the middle of the wide river bed.

The water rose extremely fast, and the water was knee-deep in a blink of an eye, and the girl was still nearly 20 meters away from the shore.The situation was very critical, but at this moment she suddenly fell down.

Zhu Riguang's thoughts changed, should he save her or not?In the face of death, who can say that they are not afraid?People's fear of death is innate, and no one can truly face life and death calmly unless he has no choice.

This thought was just a flash in my mind, and my son Xiaoxuan's immature voice said: "Grandpa, don't worry, my father is a soldier and a hero who defends the country. He will definitely save that sister..."

Zhu Riguang was sweating for a while, before he finished his son's words, he hurried into the water.

At this time, the little girl had also stood up and continued to run this way, but she might have sprained her feet, and she was not very flexible with one foot high and the other foot low.

When Zhu Riguang came in front of her, the water was already up to her waist, and the current was very fast, and she looked a little unstable.Zhu Riguang hurriedly grabbed her arm and walked back with all his might.

At this time, there were still 15 meters away from the shore, but the rushing river was too fast, and from time to time, turbid waves slapped on the two of them, making it difficult for them to move forward.

Ten meters, ten meters to go, the roaring river was already up to his chest, and Zhu Riguang felt that he might be washed away at any moment.The girl was already unable to walk, and she was dragged forward by Zhu Riguang.

Zhu Riguang has never felt that death is so close to him. Perhaps only in the face of the fear of death can people arouse their yearning for life and know the value of life; and only when facing death can they truly feel it. What does it mean to die?

Eight meters, eight meters to go, the water was already over her shoulders, and the little girl had already drank a few mouthfuls of the muddy river water, her little face was flushed with choking.Zhu Riguang took a deep breath, lifted her out of the water, and continued to move forward.

Six meters, only a short distance of six meters, the old man on the bank and Xiaohui looked at the two people in the water with pale faces, and from their perspective, they could see the power of the roaring Yellow River even more. small and insignificant.

Five meters, only five meters.A big wolf came over, and the two were sucked into the torrent.In the face of the power of nature, human beings are so fragile and vulnerable.

Xiaohui crouched on the bank with her son in her arms and cried loudly, but her crying was drowned out by the sound of raging waves.

The old man's face was purple and blue, two lines of turbid tears ran across his dry cheeks, his lips were trembling and he didn't know what he was saying.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered on the shore. Facing the power of the raging waves of the Yellow River, who would dare to go into the water to help?

Suddenly Zhu Riguang's head appeared in the turbulent turbidity, but it had already been washed downstream by the angry river for more than ten meters.The downstream river gradually narrowed, and Zhu Riguang was only three meters away from the shore, but he couldn't help himself now, and was still being swept downward by the torrential flood.

At this critical moment, Zhu Riguang suddenly exerted his strength and threw the little girl to the shore, but he was submerged by the flood again.

At the moment when the flood submerged, he saw his wife's sad and mournful eyes...

"Did you just die like this?" Zhu Riguang lamented in his heart.

Xiaohui ran downstream along the river bank while crying, hoping that her husband could surface again. She thought he would be able to, because in her heart, he was an omnipotent hero, and he would not just abandon herself like this and son's...

But he ran all the way to the edge of the waterfall, but he never saw his husband again.

The river was rushing and roaring, carrying the sand and stones from the upper reaches, rushing and falling into the ten-mile river channel, stirring up water mist tens of meters high.The mist wet her hair and wet her clothes, but she didn't notice it.

The river was getting bigger and bigger, and the main and auxiliary waterfalls formed a line, forming a rare and spectacular spectacle, but she was not in the mood to watch it.A gorgeous rainbow appeared above her head, surrounded by the amazement of countless tourists.Countless cameras pressed the shutter at this moment, permanently recording this rare spectacle, and also left her lonely and thin back beside the spectacle...

Zhu Riguang became a hero, and major newspapers and TV stations rushed to interview and report.

Facing the reporter's interview, Xiaohui cried bitterly and said: "If the title of hero has to be exchanged with life, I would rather he is an ordinary person forever. I just want to live an ordinary life with him. I killed him. If It’s not that I insist that he accompany me to see the waterfall so he won’t die…”

The female reporter said: "You don't need to blame yourself. It is because of this that he became a hero in people's hearts. The people of the whole country will never forget him. It is you who gave him the opportunity to become a hero, so that he will not remain unknown... ..."

Xiaohui interrupted her and said, "If you let your husband be the hero at the cost of his life, would you be willing?"

"..." The female reporter was speechless, she wandered around, surrounded by contemptuous gazes.
