Chapter 276: Sip (1)
“Is the current of the Yellow River’s lower stream not as strong as expected?”
My impression upon arriving at the lower stream of the Yellow River was that it didn’t hold a candle to the Yangtze.
The Yangtze’s currents were overwhelming, but here? Barely a tenth of that, maybe?
At my words, Do Sagong nodded.
“Yes, we’re at the lower stream here, and while the Yangtze is always abundant with water, the Yellow River isn’t, except during the rainy season.”
“I was wondering if I’d need to have the kids tow the boat, but that’s a relief.”
If it were anything like the upper stream of the Yangtze, I thought I might need to rent two proper rowing boats just to go upstream. In that case, I would’ve considered asking Cho and Yeondu for help.
Even during the day, the muddy water would cover most of their bodies, so if they poked out just the tips of their snouts and pulled the boat from the front, they could move it upstream quickly.
Cho is water-attributed, and Yeondu is a snake, so they swim well—pulling a boat wouldn’t be a problem for them.
But with the current this gentle, it seemed we could head upstream without issue.
“Cho, Yeondu, looks like you two won’t have to work today.”
