Chapter 18: The Fishing Village
When Changsheng came to his senses, he found that he was lying in the grass by the river, the sky was already cloudy and bright, and beside him was Yuen Long, which was blurred with flesh and blood, curled up into a ball and became smaller sharply, and his mouth let out a burst of miserable screams!
After a while, Yuen Long turned into a blind old man again, Changsheng stepped forward to take a closer look at the blind old man, and touched the blind old man's skin with some unease!
The blind old man's wrinkled skin was intact, except that his breath was faintly slumped in the grass, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"Senior Yuan......" Changsheng shook the blind old man and shouted in a low voice!
Yuen Long was paralyzed on the ground like mud and didn't move, and said something in a low voice, but Changsheng didn't hear any sound, knowing that Yuen Long was weak, he could only let him recover his strength, stood up and looked around!
This one-man meadow is several kilometers wide, the sound of steam whistles on the river in the distance, hundreds of boats staggered along the Yangtze River, more than 1,000 meters away from the shore, is a small village, as the sky gradually rises and curls smoke.
Changsheng flipped up his carry-on backpack, put the Feiyun crossbow aside, thinking that he was the only one now, and he didn't disassemble the Feiyun crossbow, poured out the other things in the backpack one by one, picked up the yuan that fell on the ground and counted it, although the rest of the money was crumpled, it was enough for more than three thousand yuan!
More than 3,000 yuan in the late eighties, that is really a huge amount of money, enough for two people to travel all over the country, Changsheng secretly put his mind at ease, took out thirty yuan and put it in his pocket, looked at the surrounding scene, and walked to the distant village with the burden on his back.
The overgrown riverside is not easy to walk, Changsheng Shen walked through the grass with one foot and one foot shallow, it was already more than half an hour later, I looked at the coarse cloth clothes on my body, and it was quite clean after being washed by the river, and I walked into this small village with confidence!
The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, most of the people in this village are fishermen, there are dried fish and other dry goods in front of every house, there are only dozens of households in the village, a street divides the village into two parts, the streets are paved with bluestone bricks, and there are some potholes under the washing of the years.
Before seven o'clock, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and Changsheng walked to a big elm tree at the head of the village and stood still, raising his eyes to look at the situation in the village!
There is a kiosk not far away, and the owner of the commissary seems to have just gotten up and opened a half-meter-square sales window!
After tossing for most of the night, Changsheng was grunting with hunger, thinking about it, he walked to the commissary and stood on tiptoe to look inward, and there was a woman about thirty years old standing in the commissary, holding a rag in her hand, with her back to Changsheng sorting out the things on the shelves.
At the end of the eighties, people were still relatively poor, and this was only a rural fishing village, so the business of the commissary was naturally not much better, there were only a few things to eat and drink on the shelves, and the tobacco and alcohol were covered with dust, as if they had not been sold for a long time!
"Auntie, do you have anything to eat?" Changsheng took out ten yuan and lit up the middle-aged woman!
"Ouch," the woman didn't seem to expect that someone would come to buy something early in the morning, and she was a little startled, and when she saw Changsheng standing on tiptoe clearly, she smiled slightly, and said in the local dialect of Wuhan, "Whose child is this?"
"Auntie, my grandfather and I are passing by on our relatives, and we are a little hungry and want to buy something to eat!" Changsheng said and handed over the ten-yuan bill!
The woman took the banknote in Changsheng's hand in surprise, looked at Changsheng with suspicious eyes, and heard that Changsheng came from outside, and there was such a large denomination of banknotes in his hand, and she was about to ask something, but suddenly thought, how could such a young child be a bad person?
But he still checked the banknote carefully, and then asked with a smile, "With so much money, what do children want to buy?"
"I can eat anything, I'm so hungry!"
In the eighties, the rural people were still quite simple, the woman was surprised to take a bunch of snacks from the shelves and put them in front of Changsheng, looking at Changsheng grabbing a bag of dry noodles and gobbling them up, and said with a smile, "How can your grandfather rest assured that you are here to buy things? What if you meet a bad person?"
I killed one last night!
Changsheng was eating dry noodles while thinking about what to do next.
Yuen Long was weak at this time, so it was naturally not suitable for the road, and he didn't know where the Mo family headquarters was, if it was......
Changsheng suddenly thought that it was better to stay here first, and wait for Yuen Long to recover some strength before going on the road, but when he thought of Yuen Long's transformation at night, Changsheng didn't dare to let others know, so it seemed that he could only wait for Yuen Long to wake up before deciding to stay!
Sighing secretly, Changsheng wrapped up what he ate and drank, took out another ten yuan, and said to the middle-aged woman, "Auntie, are there any adult clothes that sell me two?"
"Hmm, what are you buying adult clothes for?" the woman asked, confused.
"My grandfather is sick, I want to buy some clothes for my grandfather!" Changsheng lied without blinking.
The middle-aged woman hesitated slightly, but seemed to have thought of something, sighed secretly, went to the backyard to find two old clothes worn by men and handed them to Changsheng, took the ten-yuan bill in Changsheng's hand, as if taking advantage of it, and said, "Child, you and your grandfather come to live in my house, there is still an empty house in my house!"
"No need, thank you, Auntie!" Changsheng didn't dare to stay here for long, picked up his clothes and ran out of the village, and the middle-aged woman wanted to ask what was going on, and as soon as she walked to the window, Changsheng was gone......
Finally found Yuen Long who was paralyzed on the ground, Changsheng draped a few clothes on Yuen Long, fed Yuen Long some water, took out the Feiyun crossbow in his baggage and fiddled with it, waiting for the night to come!
And Yuen Long still didn't move, occasionally muttering a few words in his mouth, and Changsheng couldn't hear clearly.
Changsheng disassembled and assembled the black Feiyun crossbow, and then disassembled and reassembled, after seven or eight disassembly, he already knew everything about the Feiyun crossbow, but because the Feiyun crossbow was too strong, the arrow feathers shot out had an effective range of 100 meters, and Changsheng did not dare to shoot the arrow feathers easily, and there were only twelve arrow feathers left, it would be a pity if he couldn't find them!
As the night gradually fell, the paralyzed Yuen Long had a trace of movement, the skin of the whole body began to redden, and the mouth made a gurgling sound!
I have seen Yuen Long transform several times, but only this one is the closest to Yuen Long and can see it most clearly.
A trace of strange fur gradually grew on Yuen Long's body, his fingers became thicker, his nails became hard and sharp, his whole body swelled as if he was inflated, and at the same time, he seemed to be suffering in some way, and the roar in his mouth became louder and louder!
Then, his body slowly arched and suddenly straightened, bounced twice on the ground and then arched again, and as Yuen Long's movements became bigger and bigger, his breath became heavier and heavier, and his whole body also expanded violently, turning into a strong and powerful man, but unlike before, this time, Yuen Long's whole body was still blood-red, although no blood gushed out again, but it was still miserable.
Looking at this extremely strange change, Changsheng secretly took a few steps back, silently thinking, if he hadn't been reborn, he would never have seen such a scene!
Of course, even if there is a beast hidden in such a body, it is nothing compared to being reborn......
"Uh......" Yuen Long, who had turned into a strong man, turned over and sat up violently, shouted, grabbed his right hand with sharp claws to his side, and then shouted angrily, "Junior, looking for death!"
Of course, Yuen Long didn't catch his wooden stick, his light blue gaze swept to Changsheng, and then he remembered his situation, and then looked at the clothes around him, hid the fierceness in his eyes, and said to Changsheng, "You didn't escape while the old man was unconscious?"
"What did Senior Yuan say? Senior Yuan didn't leave Changsheng to escape alone at the moment of life and death, how could Changsheng ignore his seniors?" Changsheng said lightly.
Yuen Long nodded, not knowing whether to believe Changsheng's words or not, as if he thought of something, he suddenly stood up and said, "Today is the twelfth day of August, it's too late, we have to find a ship to hurry......"
"Are you still in a hurry at this time, senior, doesn't your injury matter?" Changsheng looked at Yuen Long's blood-red color, and he didn't know how much Yuen Long's injury had improved, so he asked with a little worry!
However, Yuen Long didn't care about his injury, picked up the clothes around him and put them on his body to cover his ugliness, grabbed Changsheng and threw it on his back, and rushed towards the river, while running to Changsheng, he told Changsheng, "Changsheng remember, the old man needs at least three days to recover, and during the daytime of these three days, everything is up to you, first, you must not let anyone find out the fact that the old man is seriously ill, and second, you must not stop at all, otherwise it will be too late......"
As he spoke, Yuen Long arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River, where dozens of large and small fishing boats were moored, and some larger cargo boats were parked in the shallow water!
