After about an hour in total, Du Fei and the other three finally arrived at the rafting spot in the grand canyon halfway up the mountain.
As the most popular attraction in Longshan Grand Canyon, the rafting area was very crowded.
Gong Chengbin craned his neck to look and estimated they would have to wait for at least half an hour.
But there was no way around it. They joined the end of the queue.
Half an hour wasn't too long and wasn't too short. As they waited, the group chatted, and time passed quickly.
Just as there were about twenty or thirty more people in front of them, a heated argument suddenly broke out ahead.
"Everyone is lining up, and you're pushing forward without a word. Two grown men, this is such poor behavior!"
A young couple was there, and the girl was indignantly pointing at two men trying to cut in line.
The two men were tall and dark-skinned, clearly not Chinese.
"Shut up! You stinking woman, it's an honor for you that I even deign to come to your country. I'm not queuing, what are you going to do about it?"
One of them, slightly shorter and with a full beard, spoke in a very arrogant tone.
Instead of feeling ashamed of being called out for cutting in line, the man's attitude was extremely hostile.
The girl's boyfriend couldn't stand by while his girlfriend was being bullied. He said, "Watch your manners, why are you cursing!"
"Get lost! Yellow-skinned monkey, if you babble any more, do you think I won't punch you to death?"
This time, it was the other man who spoke. As he said this, he shoved the boy.
This guy was burly and strong, and with one push, he sent the boy falling to the ground.
Seeing her boyfriend pushed down, the girl immediately rushed over to help him up.
"Damn it, these two big dark guys are too arrogant. On our Chinese soil, they dare to initiate physical violence?"
"Damn it, our ancestors beat these guys until they cried back then, and now they think they can run wild here!"
"Get out! These two guys are the ones who should get out! Our China doesn't need such unfriendly people!"
The surrounding onlookers were also enraged by the attitude of the two men. Everyone collectively accused them.
Seeing that they had angered the crowd, the two men were somewhat taken aback.
At this point, the girl, holding her boyfriend's hand, walked up to them. "My boyfriend's arm was injured by you. Don't you even have the basic decency to apologize?"
Only then did everyone see that her boyfriend's arm was bleeding profusely, likely scraped when he was pushed to the ground.
"You think you can get away with anything? I'll beat you to death!"
The two men had accidentally provoked the public and were now planning to slip away.
But unexpectedly, they were stopped. In their anger, the big man slapped the girl.
The girl never expected the tall man to resort to violence without warning. As the slap was about to hit her face, she couldn't dodge it in time.
The tall man had just pushed her boyfriend down. This slap was accompanied by a whistling sound. If it hit her face, the girl's fair complexion would surely be bruised and swollen, and she might even bleed.
*Slap.*
Fortunately, at the last moment, the tall man's hand was caught.
"Let go of me!"
The tall man was startled to be held, but then he tried hard to break free.
However, the hand holding his arm was like an iron clamp, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
"You were in the wrong from the start, but not only did you curse, you're now resorting to violence. Do you really think we Chinese are easy to bully?"
The one who stopped the tall man was Du Fei.
He and Gong Chengbin had heard the argument and came to see what was happening.
He hadn't expected the tall man to resort to violence so quickly, and the girl clearly couldn't react in time. Du Fei naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
"FuCk!"
The shorter, bearded man cursed when he saw his companion being grabbed and then charged at Du Fei with a punch.
*Slap!*
A loud slap landed on his face, making his ears ring.
However, after recovering, the man gritted his teeth and charged at Du Fei again.
*Slap!*
Another slap landed on his face.
This time, Du Fei put more force into it, causing the shorter, bearded man to bleed from the corner of his mouth and fall to the ground, dazed.
As for the tall man, Du Fei gave his hand a shake, and he went limp like a piece of soft noodle.
"Well done! Well done!"
"So satisfying! These scoundrels should be taught a lesson and know their place!"
"We Chinese are no longer the ones who can be bullied by anyone. Guests are welcomed with good wine, and enemies are met with shotguns! We Chinese fear no one!"
Seeing Du Fei subdue the two men, the surrounding crowd erupted in cheers and applauded him.
Then, the girl who was almost hit by the tall man, along with her boyfriend, walked up to Du Fei to thank him.
Du Fei waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.
After a while, the crowd slowly returned to normal.
With the order restored, Du Fei and his group only had to wait a few more minutes.
After buying their tickets and paying the deposit, the park staff handed them four life vests.
Du Fei and the others put on their life vests, and a staff member led them to a row of inflatable rafts.
As per routine, the staff member explained the basic precautions for the rafting to Du Fei and his group, highlighting what to watch out for to prevent accidents.
After confirming that they understood everything, the staff member took out their tools and pushed the raft Du Fei and his group were on into the rafting channel.
The raft slowly drifted downstream with the current. Initially, the drop wasn't steep, so the raft moved slowly.
However, as time went on, after about ten minutes of drifting, the drop became steeper, and the raft began to pick up speed.
On the entire raft, only Du Fei remained calm and composed. The other three, even Catherine, who had always prided herself on her athletic ability and excellent physical condition, held tightly onto the handles of the raft.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
After passing a drop of nearly ten meters, the raft became weightless and then crashed heavily back onto the water. Luo Wenwen and Catherine cried out in succession.
In fact, Gong Chengbin was a little nervous for a moment, but he was too proud in front of Luo Wenwen to show it.
Unbeknownst to him, his slightly pale face had already betrayed him.
However, at this moment, apart from Du Fei, the other two girls were experiencing the thrilling and exciting rafting process and had no time to notice these minor details.
The entire rafting trip lasted for more than half an hour.
Fortunately, they had listened to the staff's advice and worn waterproof clothing beforehand, otherwise they would have been soaked to the bone by now.
