The Drifting Tale of "Red River Valley"
"the Red River Valley of Qingyuan Liaoning; the rushing water unstoppably；known as the first drift in the North, trying from the far with curiosity." On June 27th, 2012, mother and I went to experience the long-awaited Red River Valley drifting. Mother's colleagues, and my brother Li Rongsheng were in the same boat. I wore a life jacket, carried on a long gun, held a small iron pot, armed to the teeth and boarded on the kayak, was ready for battle!
The kayak was just into the water, the stinging fight was "staged": the challenging voice, the water sprinkling and playing sound were full of everywhere. I was calm, fighting and watching the change of the water and the running trend of the kayak. At the very start, the water flew gently, soon encountered the rapids, the fall was almost a meter. Before, the kayak was always drifting sidewards, I tried several times to turn the ship rightly, mum's colleagues thought I was timid and nervous, after all the capsizing was not to be trifled with, we were all " non-swimmers"! Once at the fall, the boat seemed to be afraid of capsizing, turned to right itself. Then it plunged into the water, blowing on our faces were big waves. Not until we took a breath, did the vortex scooped by the rocks in the water hit the kayak to turn all the time, the spray ran straight into my arms! Wow!My clothes was wet! But very cool!
Thus, at the slow periods we were carefree and content, at the acute ones more scared than hurt. I enjoyed the scenery on the bank, the towering cliffs, eyeful green, it was really enjoyable!
Along the way, the kayak was up and down, mom was talking and laughing, bailing and labbering without a break, I carried the water gun to shoot freely, all like playful children, extremely happy. The so-called "no friendship between two vessels, no feelings when pouring", at the midway, we were besieged by a group of strangers, the water was like a torrential rain pouring straight in the faces, the moment not opening the eyes, my gun was robbed!Hum, really angry. Now, this brief interluder became the farce of the drifting.
Never expected, we would face a severe test -- the drifting gate of the hell Laoshao. Having a look, we were really frightened. Here was the torrent and deep water, the boat was bounced in the twinkling of an eye--Was it drifting? It was just clearly jumping! Then the boat was bounced again pressed the paddle down, I sucked a gasp, the ship crashed into a huge rock hidden in the surf, sidewards, was almost knocked over. This bump was extraordinary, immediately sprayed the big waves into our faces, a lot of water poured into the boat, that was called big waves outside the boat, small waves inside of it! Soon a large reservoir formed! Bouncing in the left and colliding in the right, the boat was thrown on a huge stone, at the top of the waves, mom was almost thrown out and caught my arm tightly. oh! Was not the God in help, or we're lucky, near missed, passed over Laoshao smoothly. Unfortunately my brother’s swim ring was swinged out, as a souvenir to the Red River Valley.
After tempestuous waves, after all was calm. Now, a happy voyage. Out of Laoshao, soon came to the end......
Ah, all the way we fought bravely, revealed the true colour of a hero! Red River drifting, full of adventure and excitement, Red River drifting, looking forward to seeing you again!
【“红河谷”漂流记】
“辽宁清源红河谷，水势湍急不可阻；号称北方第一漂，好奇远来试身手。” 2012年6月27日，我和妈妈一起去体验了期待已久的红河谷漂流。同艇的是妈妈的同事、还有我的小弟李嵘晟。我穿好救生衣，拎上长水枪，握着小铁盆，全副武装登上皮艇，准备战斗！
皮艇刚下水，激烈的水战就“上演”了：到处是挑战声、泼水声、嬉戏声。我很冷静，边战斗，边观察着水面变化和皮艇的走向。一开始，水流平缓，很快遇到急流，落差几乎一米。之前，皮艇总是横着漂，我几次想把船调正过来，妈妈的同事还以为我胆小紧张，要知道船翻可不是闹着玩的，我们都是“旱鸭子”！一到落差，船好像也怕翻，自己就正了过来。紧接着它一头扎进了水里，大浪扑面而来。没等我们喘一口气，水中巨石搅起的漩涡，把皮艇打得转啊转的，水花直往我怀里撞！哇！衣服湿透了！不过爽极了！
就这样，缓段悠然自得，急段有惊无险。我静静欣赏岸边的风景，看那悬崖高耸，满眼青翠，真是享受啊！
一路上，皮艇忽上忽下，妈妈一边说笑，一边拿着铁盆不停地舀水、泼水，我端着水枪尽情射击，所有人都像贪玩的孩子，开心极了。所谓“两船相遇不友善，浇来泼去无情面”，中途，我们被一群陌生人围攻，水像倾盆大雨劈头盖脸地泼到我们身上，睁不开眼睛的瞬间，我的水枪竟然被抢走了！哼，当时真气愤。现在，这个小插曲成了漂流的趣谈。
万万没料到，我们要面临一个严峻的考验——漂流“鬼门关”老哨。到了一看，真是吓破了胆。这儿激流水深，瞬间就把船弹起来——这哪是漂啊，分明是跳！紧接着，船再次弹起，把船桨压了下去，我倒吸一口凉气，船又一头撞上暗藏在浪花中的巨石，横过来，差点就被撞翻了。这一撞可了不得，大浪立即迎面扑来，船里霎时进了好多水，可谓船外大浪，船里小浪啊！快成了一个大水库啦！左弹右撞，船一下子抛到了巨石上，冲到浪尖上，差点把老妈颠下船！她拉紧我胳膊，噢！不知是老天在帮忙，还是我们运气好，有惊无险，顺利过哨。遗憾的是小弟的游泳圈被荡出去，成了我们留给红河谷的纪念品。
惊涛骇浪后，毕竟是平静。这不，出了老哨就一路顺风，很快到了终点……
哈，我们一路奋勇搏击，尽显英雄本色！红河谷漂流，充满了冒险和刺激!红河谷漂流，期待再次相见！
