Yang Xianmao looked at the water nervously, and finally, the thing surfaced, and at a glance, Yang Xianmao's scalp suddenly became numb. It turned out that there was a female corpse floating in the water with her hair scattered and her long skirt scattered on the water, her head lying down, and her hands hanging at her sides.

Yang Xianmao's heart tightened, could it be Ye Piaopiao? No, because this river and the river where Ye Piaopiao fell were obviously not the same river from the direction, it should be the direction of two different tributaries, and it was absolutely impossible for the corpses that fell in that place to float here.

The clothes on this female corpse were different from those on Ye Piaopiao's body, and they were wearing rough clothes worn by ordinary people.

Seeing this female corpse, the boat lady immediately spat on the ground and said, "It's really unlucky, throw away the fishing rod, don't want it." ”

Yang Xianmao said: "Whose corpse is this, do you want to find their family members to inform you to take it back?"

The boat lady glared: "When will there be no dead people on this river? If you want everyone to go to his family, then you don't have to do anything, just send the corpse home every day." ”

Yang Xianmao gasped and said, "Do people often die on this river?"

"Of course, she died for various reasons, such as this person may have been killed, and if you look closely, there seems to be a hole in her back, maybe she was stabbed by a sword. ”

Yang Xianmao didn't pay attention before, but when she heard the boat lady say this, she looked carefully, and sure enough, there were two holes in the wrinkles of her clothes floating in the water, and she couldn't see it if she wasn't careful, because it was relatively small, but it was about the same width as the sword.

Yang Xianmao was taken aback, but it could be seen from the location of these two wounds that they were just at the vital point of the deceased's back. Yang Xianmao hurriedly said: "Since he was killed, then it is better to report to the official, maybe he was murdered, and the government should be asked to find the murderer." ”

The boat lady sneered and said: "You are kind, there will be no dead one day in this chaos, the soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom are burning and looting everywhere, killing people from village to village, maybe which village was killed and the body was thrown into the river." ”

Yang Xianmao said: "This is also true, the Jin army has already hit the vicinity, maybe there will be their cavalry rushing to this area to burn and loot." ”

"Now as long as you don't kill people on the street and get caught, how can the government have time to take care of those, he himself is busy running away, if you want to take care of it, you can take care of it, I don't have that spare time, besides, even if you send the corpse, maybe the official will say that you killed you, and put you in prison, unless you ask your family to ransom people with silver, I think you won't be able to get rid of it at that time." ”

Yang Xianmao nodded slowly and said, "That's true, it's not impossible to have such a vicious government. So he threw the rod into the water, and let the corpse drown the rod to the bottom.

But the boat lady walked aside again as if nothing happened, picked up the fishing net and continued to fish.

Yang Xianmao looked down at the half-bucket of fish in the bucket, and said with some fear: "You said that there are often dead people in this river, so the fish in this river." ”

The boat lady sneered: "Okay, I know what you want to say, which river is not dead, how much, if you feel that this fish can't be eaten because of this, then never eat fish, you are like the sea." - Are there still fewer people dying in the sea, why do you eat fish in the sea? Another example is the beast, you killed the jackal, took the jackal home and killed it, didn't you think that the jackal might have just eaten a person before?"

Yang Xianmao smiled and said: "This is also reasonable, it seems that I am too worried." ”

The boat lady threw the fishing net in her hand into the cabin, looked up at the sky, and said: "We should go back, today's fish is almost finished, you are also a distinguished guest of mine, you are willing to go home with me for a glass of wine,—— my man is not there." ”

When he said the last sentence, his voice was soft, but the corners of his eyes were peachy.

Yang Xianmao thought to himself, isn't this obviously teasing himself? Hurriedly smiled, pretending not to understand the other party's words, and started the topic and said: "I don't think there are any people in this area, I don't know where your village is, eldest sister?"

"Just behind that white mist, a place where outsiders can't get out if they go in, I ask you if you want to go? If you don't want to go, get off the boat as soon as possible, or you will regret it. ”

Yang Xianmao looked at the thick white mist floating in the mountains, his heart was a little hairy, and he saw that the boat lady seemed to be smiling, looking at him with spring in the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but turn his heart sideways, and said: "What are you afraid of, I have even been to the hellfire sea, and I still care about anything else." ”

"That's what you said, don't cry when the time comes. ”

"Eldest sister, let's hold the boat. ”

The boat lady twisted her waist, the long boat pulp in her hand was propped into the water, her bare white feet stepped on the deck, she supported her body hard, leaned into a graceful curve, and looked at Yang Xianmao with provocative eyes while supporting her back, he knew that he was facing back on his back, and how sultry his lying posture was, but Yang Xianmao glanced at it and turned his head to look at the front of the boat, he had seen countless beauties, how could he be hooked by a half-old, he was more concerned about the direction in which her bow went?

The boat had rowed for miles until it reached the foot of a thick mountain of white fog, where a steep cliff passed by the side of the boat.

When she arrived at a dangerous shoal, the boat lady put away her smile, looked a little nervous, and kept sinking east and west with the boat pulp, and suddenly she held the boat violently, and drew an arc on the side of the boat, and entered a backwater on the shore, and the river actually flowed into a shallow narrow stone crevice.

The stone crack could not be seen from the other side of the river, and it would only be found when he turned his head in the middle of the river beach, because such a stone crack was not uncommon on this river, and if it weren't for their boat passing here, Yang Xianmao wouldn't even know that it could be navigated here.

The boat entered the stone crevice, the stone crack was just enough for the boat to pass, and the top was also very low, and Yang Xianmao even had to bow his head slightly to avoid hitting his head on the cliff. The river is as dark as an underground river. Yang Xianmao looked back a little nervously, and saw a small cave behind, and the slight light at the entrance of the cave penetrated in, and he could see the pretty figure of their boat and the boat lady holding the boat.

Yang Xianmao had such an experience in the cave, so he didn't panic, but he quickly disappeared in the darkness, and the surroundings were quiet, only the boat slurry sank in the water, and then the rumbling sound came out.

There was almost no figure in the dark river, but Yang Xianmao could feel that there were many waterways in this dark river, and their small boat was east and west, and even reversed back, drilling into another small hole, in short, it was like entering the ecstasy array.

The boat lady smiled and said, "Xianggong, are you afraid?"

"Afraid of what?"

The boat lady put down the boat pulp, walked in front of him and stared at him, only a very vague outline could be seen in the darkness: "Aren't you afraid that I will eat you?"

"So what are you waiting for?"

"Don't you know that my man has been dead for a long time? Don't you know how a widowed woman is?"

Yang Xianmao didn't answer, she couldn't answer this, the boat lady took another step, almost stuck in front of Yang Xianmao, and said, "What are you waiting for? If you don't move the boat again, you're going to go out." ”

Yang Xianmao pretended to be stupid: "What kind of hands? is it fishing?"

The boat lady began to laugh, very softly, but soon turned into a loud laugh, laughing wildly, because Yang Xianmao had begun to gradually see her delicate body, she covered her mouth, very exaggerated leaning forward and backward, her body shaking. On his chest he looks like two happy little white rabbits.

Yang Xianmao could see more and more clearly, because their ship had floated out of the dark passage and came to the bright sunset again. A man's voice came from the beach: "Sister-in-law Gu, are you back?"

Yang Xianmao hurriedly turned around, only to see a man with five big and three thick feet sitting on a rock, carrying a heavy ghost head knife on his back, his two hands were like a fan, grinning, the corner of his mouth showed a big golden tooth, looking very vulgar, his eyes were like copper bells, although he was smiling, but the smile was obviously ill-intentioned. Eyes staring at Yang Xianmao.

Yang Xianmao knew that this boat lady was originally surnamed Gu.

He couldn't help but secretly call it a fluke, fortunately he honestly didn't do it just now, otherwise if he rubbed the oil with his hands casually, he happened to be bumped into by this big man, obviously an acquaintance, he would definitely think that he was rude, and he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River at that time.

This boat lady, knowing that the boat is going out, and there is a man waiting outside with a ghost-headed knife, but she comes to seduce herself, does she want to frame her?

Yang Xianmao suddenly felt that there were some white flowers in front of him, looked down, and suddenly his head buzzed. Because he saw that the placket of the boatlady's clothes was untied, revealing half of her breasts. She was facing away from the big gold tooth, the big gold tooth couldn't be seen, and Gu's sister-in-law was smiling forward and backward, and as she leaned over, she could see the charming ravine.

Sister-in-law Gu didn't seem to see the big gold tooth, their boat floated forward along the water, floating past the big gold tooth, Sister-in-law Gu restrained her smile at this time, reached out and slowly buttoned up the open placket, Yang Xianmao restrained her smile meaningfully, turned around and walked away, picked up the boat pulp from the cabin and continued to support the boat.

Yang Xianmao scratched the sweat on his head, thinking that this woman was really incomprehensible, his eyes looked down, and he was not surprised, because he saw that there were high mountains all around, and the mountains were indeed lush trees, along the river were long weeping willows, there were clusters of peach blossoms floating in the mountains, and there were shepherd boys on the ridges on the bank sitting cross-legged on the back of the big ancient ox, holding a yellow flute in his hand, and the geese in the sky flew over slowly, leaving a quacking sound.

After rowing a few miles forward, there were gradually more people on the roadside, and there was smoke wafting from the buildings, and people on the shore greeted the boat lady from time to time.

The boat continued to float forward, and Sister-in-law Gu almost stopped holding the boat, greeting the people on the shore from time to time. Finally, the boat stopped beside a pier made of stone steps, and there were several small boats parked on the pier, and the boat lady combed her hair with her hands, and said to Yang Xianmao: "Xianggong, get off the boat." ”

Yang Xianmao thanked him, stepped off the boat, suddenly remembered the fish on the boat, and said, "I'll help you get the fish." ”

Aunt Gu smiled and shook her head and said, "No need, someone took it." ”

After that, I turned around and saw a six- or seven-year-old boy jumping down from the stone steps and running to Sister-in-law Gu, hugging her waist and saying, "Mother, you're back." ”

Sister-in-law Gu said to Yang Xianmao: "This is my son, named Xiao Bang Mallet." ”

Yang Xianmao was a little unbearable, and said, "Why did you choose such a name?"

"When he was a year old, I asked him to grab something, but he grabbed a mallet in his hand and refused to let it go, so it was called a mallet. Sister-in-law Gu giggled when she said this, looking very happy.

The mallet didn't seem to care, jumped on the bow of the boat and easily lifted half a bucket of fish in his hand and got off the boat, tilted his head to look at Yang Xianmao, and said, "Who are you?

Yang Xianmao's head suddenly had a black line, how could this little guy understand everything, and even said the word "good", he quickly shook his head awkwardly and said: "I was passing by, and your mother kindly invited me to come, so I came, and it was the first time I met your mother." ”

"It's nothing the first time I saw it, my mother often brought back the men she saw for the first time. ”

Yang Xianmao's heart suddenly chilled, and looked at Sister-in-law Gu, but Sister-in-law Gu didn't feel embarrassed, just slapped her son's head affectionately, and said, "Don't you look at it, you peek again, don't go back to make a fire and cook." ”

The mallet stuck out his tongue and staggered up the stairs with half a bucket of fish.

Sister-in-law Gu smiled and said to Yang Xianmao: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is a mallet all over his life, and this nickname doesn't hurt him at all." ”

Yang Xianmao was a little confused, who was right? Could it be that this sister-in-law Gu is a water-based poplar woman? Do you often bring wild men home? Yang Xianmao subconsciously looked at Sister-in-law Gu, Sister-in-law Gu looked at him with clear eyes, without giving in, looking selfless and wide in her heart, which made Yang Xianmao overturn her previous inference completely, thinking, if she had such clear eyes and an open mind, she would definitely not be a person who did that kind of reluctance.

Besides, people are widowed at home, and it is not voluntary for them to be good with any man, and men can find women, or a few, so why can't a widowed woman find a man?

Yang Xianmao quickly threw this thought aside, and Sister-in-law Gu beckoned him to go back, and followed Sister-in-law Gu up the steps and walked into the village along the bluestone street.

This is a lively town, there are many shops in it, but almost all of them wear coarse cloth blue shirts, and the standard of living is about the same, it seems that this is a village full of happiness, and life is very nourishing. I hope that the iron hooves of the golden soldiers will never set foot in this quiet land, and give the people eternal peace. Yang Xianmao prayed in his heart. He followed the woman into an alley and stopped in front of a wooden house on the side of the mountain.

The wooden house was beside a trickling stream, and the water of the river was clear and they crossed the small bridge made of stone slabs, and turned a corner.

The mallet had already pushed open the door and stood there, wiping the sweat from his head and looking at them, this child was only six or seven years old, and it was still quite heavy to carry this bucket with half a bucket of fish, and it was no wonder that he was tired to be able to carry it from the dock to home in one breath.
