"I said Da Jinye, if you have anything, you can say it directly, don't babble like a girl!" Yao Jiuyin is also a straight person, and roared at the top of his voice.

The big golden tooth was too slow to say that he didn't know the specific situation, only that the Yellow River water ghost was not greedy for our money, but that he himself had an urgent matter to rush to the upper reaches of the Yili Gorge, and happened to hear about us, thinking that it was better to take a risk anyway, it was better to bring a few more people, and make some money, as for what kind of situation it was, where was the person's destination, what kind of boat, he couldn't say.

"Senior brother, what is the Yellow River Water Ghost?" I whispered a word in Yao Jiuyin's ear.

When Changsheng heard me ask Senior Brother, he also turned his head and stared at Senior Brother curiously.

"The Yellow River water ghosts are the corpse fishers on the Yellow River, and they deal with the corpses on the Yellow River all year round, so the people who salvage the corpses behind them are called the Yellow River water ghosts." The senior brother explained in a low voice.

Under the guidance of the big golden tooth, we went to meet the Yellow River water ghost with curiosity, this guy is nicknamed Ghost Lao San, he is very strong, although he looks a little honest, but his eyes are cunning. As soon as we told him about the situation, he nodded and agreed to take us with him.

Yao Jiuyin is very shrewd, and feels that this matter is a little strange, so that other people will not get out of the boat, but this ghost Lao San is going to come out, whether it should be some kind of liar, so he asked side by side.

The ghost third was still stiff-mouthed at first, and then he gave Yao Jiuyin a knock on the ** soup, and said everything.

What the big golden tooth told us is simply hearsay, it's not the same thing, it turns out that this ghost is also an ancestral Yellow River corpse fisher, his grandfather is, his Abba is, he is also ...... But after a few years, he was tired of the life of being respected by others, and heard that Lanzhou was a big world, so he ran to Lanzhou alone, because this ghost is a good gambler, only half a month to owe a lot of gambling debts, and he got sick, and several years of savings came to naught, even then it was not worth his life to cross the Red River...... But in Lanzhou, he got a piece of news, so he rushed back in a hurry, ready to take risks and fight for his life.

The Ma family has occupied Gansu for decades, and is a veritable "King of Gansu" and "Emperor of the Soil", and it is the 100th birthday of the old lady of the Ma family in more than a month, so he is ready to use the "Five Great Offerings" to worship the ancestors and ancestors.

Five Great Offerings, which used to be the standard offerings of the royal nobles to the gods of heaven and earth, used whole pigs, whole sheep, whole chickens, whole ducks and red carp.

The first few things are easy to prepare, but the red carp is not easy to do, and this fish must be a "dragon carp". The so-called "dragon carp" is a red carp with horns on its head, and its whole body is as red as blood, except for two raised white tumors on the top of its head, like a newly sprouted dragon horn. This kind of red carp female fish only lays one egg in ten years, and it takes a hundred years to become a "dragon carp", such a rare species, it is simply a spirit monster, and there is nowhere to buy it if you have money.

Therefore, the general sacrifice needs to go to the "dragon carp" can only use lime paste to point two horns on the carp's head to fill the number, which is not the real five great offerings.

It is rumored that Kangxi Ye raised the strength of the whole country to be able to worship the ancestors with the authentic "dragon carp" red fish for ten years, but in the eleventh year, this tradition was abolished, because there was really no dragon carp to be found, and the preciousness of this fish can be seen.

Therefore, the Ma family offered a reward of 200,000 silver dollars for the "dragon carp", the ghost Lao San faced the temptation of this sky-high price he was moved, because he grew up on the edge of the ancient Yellow River, as a corpse collector also saw a lot of strange things, when he was a child, he and Abba found a dead dragon carp near the river beach at the exit of the Ten Thousand Corpses Cave, the size of a grinding plate, all rotten and stinky, I heard Abba say that this is the dragon king fish, is the incarnation of the river god...... The ghost Laosan's memory was a little vague, but he would never forget the two dragon horns the size of a fist on the carp's head, so as soon as he heard about the Ma family's sky-high bounty, he immediately reacted, this dragon kingfish is undoubtedly the "dragon carp".

Taking advantage of the fact that the news has not yet reached Tianshui Town, he is ready to hurry up and take the lead, as long as he can find the dragon carp and get a reward of 200,000 yuan, he will ascend to the sky in one step in these few lifetimes, and he will not worry about food and clothing.

It is said that money can make ghosts grind, and it is people like ghosts. The ghost thought that he was going to cross the Red River anyway, and by the way, he would take us with him, and even if he didn't find the dragon carp, he could earn a lot of money for the ferry.

Ying Ziling asked him again: "Why are you so afraid, is this section of the river as powerful as you say?" It's not collusion to sit on the ground. ”

The ghost sighed and said that you haven't been to know it, in their local words, this "hundred miles of red river, one mile of people" is not a casual talk, whenever the "red soup" river water becomes a very strange blood water, the feathers have to sink inside, and there are many strange things happening, at this time, only the place in Yili Gorge is normal, and it can temporarily keep safe and live.

Although the water of the Red River has not turned red, there are many holes at the bottom of the river, I don't know where it leads, but now is the season of flooding, the water will roll in the whirlpool, the older generation of people say that this water is the water that flows into the Yellow Spring, and the nine Yellow Springs in the Yin Cao Difu are poured down from here, whenever the river water becomes strange blood water, it is the blood and tears left by the people who "don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, and don't die until the Yellow River".

"When the boat reaches this section, it is basically uncontrolled, no matter how experienced you are, you have to listen to the flow of water, if you are lucky, you will bump all the way, if you are unlucky, it will be difficult to say......" Ghost Laosan said again, "What's more dangerous is that sometimes there are more than a dozen people crossing the Red River, and when you go out of the gorge, there is no one on the boat, I don't know what happened, and there is no corpse." ”

Ying Ziling said: "It's so dangerous, do you want us to add more money!" She had been to many countries and was familiar with these expeditions, "According to what you just said, we are not just going to feed the fish this time?" Gee, that's hard work. ”

The ghost said with a smile: "My aunt, that's not it, no matter what, I won't risk my own life, we are an iron boat, and I also have motor power, even if it can't get through, it's not easy to sink, but I want to ask everyone, when you get on the boat, don't say anything about feeding or not feeding the fish, everyone keep your mouth shut, although I can't guarantee that I can take you over, but I can also guarantee your life." ”

The ghost finally told us that the last time he walked this road was four years ago, and it was a fluke at that time, but it was very strange, the bottom of the boat was full of potholes, as if it had been bitten by something, this time this year, the amount of water was larger than ever, and he was not sure, to be honest, he had to be mentally prepared, if he was really unlucky enough to sink the ship, he couldn't save everyone...... Let's fill in the Red River together, and no one should take chances, because no one can escape from the Red River in this season.

"Also, you have to give enough money, and you can't lose a penny." The ghost third added at the end.

Yao Jiuyin said to him: "You don't have to worry about money, we are in a hurry like you, money is not a problem for us, and everyone takes what they need, don't be afraid of us talking nonsense, you see this little Taoist master, his name is called Changsheng, which means that we all have to live a long life, you can rest assured, Bao Zhun is fine." ”

After negotiating the price, everyone hurried to move the equipment onto the ship, and Yao Jiuyin quietly asked the big gold tooth, can you get some weapons, no matter how to say that this time it is also a deserted place, there must be something to defend yourself, the big gold tooth let his stupid son rummage through his house, find an old crossbow, and hand it to Yao Jiuyin, saying that there is no gun, you want something to defend yourself, now there is only this thing, people here use this for hunting, it is much better than a gun, a crossbow shoots over, and wild boars can be overturned.
