Bai Wuchang raised his hand slightly, Ji Zihan followed his hand, and he had already stood up steadily, until she regained her footing, he withdrew his hand and still caged it in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "She is such an adult and so careless, what do you blame me!" Okay, I've seen the excitement almost, it's time to go on an errand, and the rest of the things, you two will solve it by yourself, but it's just that when it's time to wait for this matter, Xiaobai needs to report to the government as soon as possible, and then he has his own plans. ”

After saying that, without waiting for the second daughter to answer, Bai Wuchang took care of himself, and the wide robe and big sleeves that were already neat and traceless on his body, held the plain white mourning stick and shook it slightly, and there was a burst of smoke, and the person was gone, but it was a style that didn't matter and just wanted to go quickly, and Ji Zihan laughed dumbly.

Rubbing his buttocks, it didn't hurt as much as when he just fell, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, is it because I have too much meat on my fart/thigh, so it doesn't hurt so soon?" Alas, it's time to lose weight......"

Although Manzhu didn't understand why she was still sad since the affected area was not painful, she was relieved when she saw that she was indeed not pretending, and said with a smile: "It would be best if the benefactor didn't fall and get hurt, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go." ”

Ji Zihan wailed twice, complaining in his heart that Aunt Zhang stewed those soups and water were delicious and nourishing, and on the other hand, he comforted Manzhu and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a slip, where did you fall and get hurt, you better show me the way quickly." ”

When Manzhu heard this, he didn't say more, and pointed to the river in front of him: "This is the Santu River, and the other side of the river is the other side." There is a ferry not far ahead, and give the boatman on the river no more than six cents, and the boatman will cross the river by himself. It's just the same, after getting on the boat, the benefactor must be careful not to let the placket of the clothes get contaminated with the water of the Santu River, so that he can reach the other side safely. ”

For some reason, Manzhu's voice became lower and lower, her eyes gradually flickered, and in the end, she didn't dare to look directly into Ji Zihan's eyes, only staring at the wet mud at her feet with a pair of starry eyes, and she didn't know what attracted her to the messy mud floor.

Ji Zihan glanced suspiciously at Manzhu's feet, when the lights were dim, the place where they stood was covered with red flowers and swaying green stems, and it was even more unclear and difficult to see, no wonder she would have an unstable foothold and almost fell into the river.

After watching it for a long time, Ji Zihan thought that it had nothing to do with his task anyway, so he put his doubts behind, shook the flower branch in his hand at Manzhu, and said with a smile: "I remember, I must not let my clothes get wet in the river." Then I'll go first, you wait for my good news. ”

The task is so simple, Ji Zihan can't wait to bring the flowers quickly, and after saying that, she turned around and left, and Manzhu didn't see the look of biting Luo Pa behind her and wanting to speak.

"You have the white impermanence of words and spells to protect your body, and it should be okay to come to the Santu River where the water ghosts are causing trouble. Besides, I also reminded you, as long as you don't get your clothes wet, no matter how vicious those water ghosts are, you can't do anything. Manjoo bit her lip and muttered, comforting herself for a long time, but still worried.

She didn't dare to explain the reason to Ji Zihan, she was really afraid that she would be cowardly and shirk, you must know how many years she had waited to come to this person to relieve her worries, how could she lose it lightly. However, these words of comfort could not make her feel at ease, and she always deceived an innocent and good person on the Santu River where life and death are unknown for a selfish desire.

Manzhu didn't dare to return to her own residence among the flowers, so she kept standing by the Santu River, the pungent stench lingered on the end of her nose, and the fishy wind smoked her dress into a bright color.

Why do you say that the river stinks, just because those lonely souls and wild ghosts who have nowhere to be reincarnated are all thrown into this river, the water of the Santu River has no buoyancy, but it is highly poisonous, once the soul is in the water, the soul is rotted, and there is no chance to go ashore, so it can only turn into a ghost in the river, and suffer from the ice thorns of the bones forever but cannot be reincarnated. It is because these water ghosts are very jealous of souls with the hope of reincarnation, and as long as a living soul passes by the river, they will use every means to drag it into the water.

It's just because of the deliberate concealment of someone with a heart, our little white Ji Zihan doesn't know all kinds of things in the river, she just thinks that the task she received is really just an errand task, which is very simple. As a traceless spirit, she was in a good mood and wandered all the way to the ferry in Manzhu's mouth.

When I arrived at the ferry, it turned out that there were a few pieces of driftwood nailed to the flowerless river, which was squarely attached to the bank, which was only a place for people crossing the river to get on and off the boat. There is also a wooden pillar on the edge of the driftwood, which is deeply rooted in the water, so that the driftwood connected to the wooden pillar will not be drifted with the current.

A small green oil lamp was hung on the pillar, the river breeze was blowing, and it was almost extinguished, so he finally stabilized the shadow of the lamp, and Ji Zihan saw that there was indeed a roofless boat tied to the wooden pillar under the lamp, and the bow of the boat was half lying and half leaning on a person, dressed in a cloak and hat, but his head and face were lowered, and he couldn't see his appearance, but it was not difficult to guess the identity of this person's boatman.

Ji Zihan grabbed a few steps, but he didn't dare to stand on the rickety driftwood ferry, so he only stood on the shore and shouted: "Boatman, boatman, aren't you asleep, hurry up, business is coming, I want to cross the river." ”

After calling for a long time, the boatman moved, and seeing that he had moved, Ji Zihan hurriedly called: "Boatman, I want to cross the river." At the same time, he stretched out a hand, no more, no less, six copper plates, "Now, I'll pay for the boat first, and how about I come back and find you to cross the river?" ”

About the two trips of business promised by Ji Zihan had an effect, the boatman stood up lazily, but he still lowered his head, only glanced at her from the edge of his hat, and felt that the boatman was looking at him, Ji Zihan hurriedly floated a sweet smile, and handed the copper plate in his hand to the boatman.

The boatman didn't want to take this business, and when he saw the crystal light above her head flashing, faintly showing a "white" word, he had no choice but to stand up, and at this moment he saw that she handed over the boat money very well, so he waved to her impatiently: "If you want to cross the river, hurry up, at this time noon will pass, the yin is gradually strong, it is the time when the water ghost in the river will be boiling, and then the little old man will not dare to rock the boat." ”

The boatman hadn't spoken for a long time, and at this time his voice seemed to be blocked in his throat, and he couldn't hear it vaguely, Ji Zihan pricked up her ears, and only vaguely heard that she was telling her to hurry up and get on the boat, so she didn't care about the unstable driftwood, and jumped on the boat three times, and the ship would stand firmly, and the hull of the boat sank, so frightened that she immediately squatted down, grabbed the boat string with both hands, and sat obediently on the support wood in the boat, and didn't dare to move.
