Qishui, also known as the Ming River, is a torrent that flows between the countless peaks and peaks of Nanchuan.

Qishui is also the main tributary of the upper reaches of the Nanyong River, with a narrow river channel and a turbulent current.

Qishui rushed to Dawang Beach, turned a bay, and flowed eastward. As a result, the river silted up a flat beach at Dawang Beach, and the current became gentle, making it one of the few ferries within hundreds of miles upstream of Qishui.

Dawangtan is an open terrain, surrounded by lush forests, and the snow-white snow pressed pine forest is even more verdant.

The river beach is full of pebbles, strange rocks, and in the middle is a trestle pier paved with black bluestone, and at the end of the trestle, a big ship is parked.

The big ship is high, seven or eight zhang long, on the high mast, a maroon flag, waving in the wind, and two big characters "Tonghe" are written on it.

"It's here. Shen Weiyong said in surprise, "This is our firm's ship!"

The turbulent river and the turbid waves crashing on the shore, Lei Shaoxuan's mood was up and down.

The big dark ship will carry himself and start another journey of life, but Lei Shaoxuan no longer has hesitation and fear, and there is a feeling of excitement when he sees everyone busy and carrying the goods onto the ship.

"This is the largest ship of my firm, and it is also famous in the Northern Wei Dynasty caravan!" Shen Weiyong was a little proud, and said: "Young Master Lei, the ship is big and stable, even if it is the first time to take the ship, it is not easy to feel bumpy and seasick. ”

"Your firm has such strength!" Ma Shaoteng was also a little surprised.

"Tonghe business line up to the world, there are branches in various places, most of them were originally operated in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the time to walk the ancient tea horse road is still short. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you have to find another way, which is why in late winter and early spring, when other businesses walk the Ancient Tea Horse Road during the winter break. ”

"Is there no such a big ship on weekdays?" Lei Shaoxuan asked after thinking about it.

Shen Weiyong nodded: "Yes." Since we have found another way, we must do our best. In order to ensure a smooth journey, the merchant specially sent large ships, which used to be shared with other caravans. ”

A glimpse of the leopard shows why Tonghe Sho has become a famous firm.

In order to be the first, the ordinary place can find a new way, and the dangerous place gathers strength to protect it.

Lei Shaoxuan remembered a sentence: In the world, there is no one who can succeed casually.

Lei Shaoxuan didn't care about this. In the final analysis, how can we know that the world is difficult without the world's affairs?

The boat slowly moved out, going down with the current, faster and faster.

Lei Shaoxuan was seriously ill and frail, so he was specially placed in a small room.

The small room is closed, and there is no wind blowing in when the small window is opened, and the scenery outside the window can be seen at a glance.

Most of the prisoners and sergeants had to stay on deck, enduring the bitter cold.

The rocky mountains on both sides of the bank are lined with peaks, heavy rocks and cliffs, stretching endlessly. It is already the early spring weather, although there is light snow, the mountain has been the beginning of winter snow, revealing verdant pine and bamboo, green and white, picturesque.

Qi water is turbulent, Hao Hao soup soup, rushing to the east, a lonely boat, floating on the river.

Rushing out for dozens of miles, the wind and snow have cleared, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is more beautiful.

Black rocks and white water, cliffs stacked on top of each other, trees are grandiose, when you see the eagle in the sky, the ape roars on the lonely peak, the sound penetrates the empty valley, and the thousand turns are endless.

Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but feel excited, his pride suddenly increased, and his face was slightly red.

Seeing this, Hu Youde looked at Lei Shaoxuan and said, "Young Master?"

Lei Shaoxuan looked at Hu Youde strangely and said, "What's the matter?" Uncle Hu. ”

"When you were unconscious, you were saved by a priest. Hu Youde wanted to speak and stopped.

Hu Youde looked at Lei Shaoxuan cautiously and said, "The Taoist chief once said that you were unconscious because you didn't want to wake up. ”

"Why don't I want to wake up?" asked Lei Shaoxuan strangely.

"He said, he said......"

Hu Youde was a little anxious and looked at Lei Shaoxuan hesitantly.

Lei Shaoxuan's face was full of doubts, and Hu Youde gritted his teeth and said: "The Taoist priest said that the young master can't see the hope of the future, is unwilling to suffer, wants to die, and is unwilling to wake up. ”

"Huh?" Lei Shaoxuan was a little strange and said, "Why don't I remember? Why do I want to die?

"It's good if you don't want to die!" Hu Youde breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "Young master, although the future is difficult, life and death are unpredictable. As long as you live, there is hope, and you must not think about it. ”

"No, it won't. There are many dead people I saw along the way, and it is easy to die, but it is difficult to live. Lei Shaoxuan said slowly.

Shen Weiyong looked at Lei Shaoxuan from the side, and interjected: "Young Master Lei, that's right, it's easy to die! Death from illness, sentence to death, death to death, death in battle, death to death by biting by fierce birds and beasts, death from stumbling, drowning, death from poisoning, starvation, thirst, exhaustion, death for wealth, death for evil, death for good, death for relatives...... There are all kinds of deaths by suicide, and it is extremely difficult for people to live, and they die if they are not careful. ”

Shen Weiyong said with emotion: "In order to make a person live, parents, brothers, relatives and friends are all worried about their hearts and even their lives. If you are disappointed, miserable, difficult, or even desperate, you will die, and who is worthy of the people who have worked hard for them? Even strangers will never want to see people die, and the death of a rabbit is still sad. No matter how hard and desperate the future is, never give up. ”

Shen Weiyong said with a straight face: "There is hope in the heart, burn blood and die, death is also a ghost, gods and ghosts dare not deceive, cowardice and death, gods and ghosts hate it!"

Lei Shaoxuan vaguely remembered that he didn't want to wake up at that time, and he didn't know if he wanted to die.

"When I was unconscious, I had a dream. Lei Shaoxuan said with a smile, "I think it's a dream that is too beautiful, and I don't want to wake up, how can I want to die? ”

"It's strange to say," Hu Youde shook his head and said to Lei Shaoxuan, "The chief of the gold department didn't take a penny, and he also sent the gold and took the wooden stick I carried, saying that a thousand-year-old lightning struck the peachwood." Shopkeeper Shen is well-informed, and the thousand-year-old lightning strike peach wood is so valuable?"

Shen Weiyong was shocked when he heard this, and said: "You have met strange people! The thousand-year-old peach wood is certainly valuable, and it is mostly used by Taoist priests to drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits. This matter should not be made public, and the money should be started, and the guilt should be conceived. Death row prisoners and sergeants are all strong and powerful people, and publicity will cause trouble. ”

"Teachable. Hu Youde arched his hand.

Shen Weiyong waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, I'm in love with Young Master Lei." ”

Things in the world are strange.

Some people have known each other for many years, but they dare not make friends, and some people talk about everything when they meet for the first time.

The so-called: the white head is as new, and the cover is as old.

"How long will it take to get to Shangsi County?" asked Lei Shaoxuan.

The body is still weak, looking out the window at the turbulent torrent and the big boat swaying, it makes people feel dizzy and dizzy, but they still can't stop Lei Shaoxuan's excitement, open the window, and look at the scenery outside the window.

"I'll be there tomorrow morning. Shen Weiyong also said with great interest.

As the sun sets, hundreds of birds cast into the forest, the sunset is like fire, the boat is like flying, and the scenery on both sides of the strait retreats rapidly.

"The speed of the ship is so fast, if there are rocks and rocks, won't the ship be destroyed and people will die?" Hu Youde worried.

"Rapids and rapids, naturally, there will inevitably be ship wrecks and deaths. However, there are many old shipwrights on this big ship, who have never had an accident and are relaxed. Shen Weiyong said with emotion, "To be honest, I have walked this waterway several times, and every time I take a boat, I am terrified, but fortunately, the business takes stability first, and the most dangerous place has its own arrangements." ”

"The road ahead is a series of dangerous shoals......

Before the words fell, there was a sudden sound from the bow of the ship, and the sound resounded through the river, and someone shouted hoarsely: "The first beach...... Ah......h

Immediately afterwards, the boatmen shouted together: "First beach...... Hey drink...... The dragon king wakes up, the waves are in the sky, hold the chains and drink to keep the peace......"

"Heh, heh...... Roar ......"

In the palpitations of the people, the big ship was suddenly thrown into the air, and then smashed into the water, rumbling, the waves surging, and immediately flew forward and flew away.

The hearts of the people were raised, and the nervousness seized the hearts of everyone, and the prisoners and sergeants on the deck all clung to what they could hold onto.

The sound of the trumpet sounded again: "The second beach...... Hey...... Hey ......"

The neat shouts of the boatmen came: "Second beach...... Hey drink...... The dragon king flips, the thunder and lightning flash, work together yo pulp spaceship......"

The big ship suddenly flew up, but it sank sharply, like nine heavens, but it rushed out like a light boat, leaving the waves behind. The big ship is like a body thrown to the surface of the water, touching the water and bouncing up and flying forward.

After a while, the big boat slowed down, and the scenery on both sides of the strait seemed to be able to be seen clearly.

The first time to take the boat, the heart has just relaxed, suddenly the stomach is churning, and the head is dizzy and vomiting.

However, just as I wanted to vomit, the thick horn sounded again, and everyone couldn't help but feel nervous and forced to re-grasp.

"It's the third beach...... Hey...... Hey ......"

"Third Beach...... Hey drink...... The dragon king is angry, I am also angry, my eyes are angry, I am unwilling, and I fly to Kowloon Beach in a boat......"

Lei Shaoxuan's heart was fluttering when he heard it, and his emotions were impassioned.

The cliffs on both sides of the bank suddenly became gloomy and cramped, the dark stone walls flew backwards against the windows of the ship, the cliffs were volleying, the clear stream roared, and the roar shook the sky, only the sound of the boatman's horn cracked the sky.

"Kowloon Beach...... Yo he...... Nine Dragon Beach, cliff shore, Nine Dragons flying in the sky do not know how to return, the vast line cracks the nine mountains......"

The big ship drifts with the current, fluctuating, like an uncertain fate, and everyone's heart is full of powerlessness.

The magic of nature, the majestic power of nature, makes everyone feel so small and powerless, and they pray in their hearts.

Lei Shaoxuan clung to the edge of the bed, Hu Youde's face was pale, seasick and nervous, so that the green tendons of his hands holding the armrests of the cabin were exposed, and his fingers were pale.

"Jiulong Lake is the last dangerous beach!" Shen Weiyong said, trying to comfort Lei Shaoxuan.

Before the words fell, the big ship suddenly fell to the ground like the sky, making a loud "boom", the bottom of the ship sank suddenly, but it floated up again, and cheers came from the deck: "...... safe"
