The vast boat floats and sinks, the rippling water is faint.
On the deck, winding water stains overlap, resembling the trails of many snails, as River Otters stride forward, grasping collars or ankles, dragging their family members to the upper level.
"Boom boom boom..."
A person's head keeps shaking, the back skull repeatedly bumping against the stairs.
"Ptooey! Ptooey!"
Spitting twice into his palm, rubbing both paws, Otter Kai targets the sand heap on the shore, grabs the clothes collar of the unconscious person with one paw, the belt with the other, legs spread wide, shoulder sunk, elbows dropping, qi settled in the Dantian, gives a low shout, twists the waist and hips, twists the back and arms, twists the arms with the wrists, then sways the two arms, unleashing a thousand-pound force like a tidal wave...
Bang!
Violent blow lands.
The vigor rushes a thousand miles.
