Hundreds of kilometers from Wuxian to Linchuan waterway, first along the Lanjiang River, Tongjiang River and then to Gushui and Yushui, you can go straight to Geyang County, and then go to Linchuan by land over the mountains and mountains.

For ordinary people, in order to avoid thieves and possible dangers, there are only two or three hours to travel during the day, and if there is bad weather, it can take months. But Xu You and Xu You are both little grandmasters, except for taking a boat, the rest of the time is around the clock, and it only takes more than 20 days to reach Linchuan County.

There was no accident in the Lanjiang and Tongjiang sections, when the valley water changed to a light boat, the sky slowly sprinkled with raindrops, and when it reached Shangrao County, Poyang County, it stopped at the shore to rest for a while, replenished the water source, and a group of five people came up. The leader was a man and a woman, the man was about twenty years old, with long hair draped over his back, handsome and straight, looking bohemian. The woman is a little older, her face is beautiful, but her eyebrows and eyes are cold, maybe she walks on the waterway all the year round, her skin is not fair, and she is slightly exposed to a healthy bronzer.

The cabin is small, the conditions are simple, generally divided into men and women sit on both sides, if you are unlucky, encounter fox smell and foot odor, you can only consider yourself unlucky. Today is not bad, although it is still a strong smell of sweat, but Xu You can smell a faint fragrance filling his nose, and opposite him, the girl who has just boarded the boat is sitting.

She sat on her knees, her eyelids lowered, her hands flat on her thighs, her body straight, her chest undulating, and a few strands of green silk hanging down her sideburns, like geese passing in the green smoke, adding a vivid color to the boring boat.

Going down the river like this, I sat quietly for almost an hour, and the rain line became more and more rapid, hitting the top of the cabin like fried beans, disturbing people's hearts. At the beginning of the Shen period, even the sky was dark, the dark clouds were overwhelming, the wind was roaring, the cliffs on both sides of the bank were lined up, the strange rocks were like thorns, the ships in front of them were gone, and the sky and the earth seemed to be the only one they were riding in, up and down, floating uncertainly.

Suddenly, there was a violent vibration in the hull of the ship, and I don't know whether it hit the cliff rock, or it was hit by the turbulence, and the ship almost capsized. The boatload of passengers was defenseless, falling from side to side, and some even flew from side to side, screaming and exclamations mixed and chaotic.

Xu You didn't want to show his martial arts, so he leaned on Qingming as the hull of the boat swayed. The woman on the opposite side should be a martial artist who has entered the ninth grade, but she can't resist the power of heaven and earth, she leaned forward and fell into Xu You's arms, her hands pressed into his lower abdomen in a panic, and she just wanted to straighten up and dodge, but she fell down on Xu You again by continuous shaking. In desperation, he had to hold his waist firmly, turned his head away, and his cheeks were uncontrollably flushed.

Nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, you can feel the fresh vitality in the dress wrap, Xu You pretended not to know, his eyes looked at the bow of the boat, the boat boss at the helm was barearmed, shouting a vigorous trumpet in his mouth, starting from the neck of the green tendons, the knee-length shirt was poured through by the agitated river water, and he was rigidly controlling the rocking to maintain the stability and balance of the hull.

One of them hit the keel with his teeth, bleeding from the corners of his mouth, lying on the board of the boat, pointing at the boss of the boat and scolding, "How do you operate the boat?" Can you afford to break Yaye's face? ”

The boat boss spat out a mouthful of spit, and said in a vicious voice: "It's called hanging feet, three songs and eight times, sitting on my He Laojiu's boat, at most I broke my teeth." Ride in someone else's boat, but hang on all fours to the shore! ”

There are people in the boat who often sit on this waterway, knowing the danger of hanging feet, their eyes are full of panic, and they say in a trembling voice: "Hanging feet, hanging feet, my father stays during the day, and I walk at night, and it rains endlessly for three days, and ten feet of white linen are wrapped around my head......"

Hearing what he said was eerie, a few people cried after begging grandpa to tell grandma. He Laojiu turned his head and scolded angrily: "Shut up! What about crying and mourning? Yes, yes, you can't die! ”

The waves were churning again, and the bow of the ship was tilted, and it crashed into the cliff on the shore at a speed that was not as fast as the galloping horse. If it were to hit the ground now, it was conceivable that even the hull of the ship would be shattered into powder.

"Up!"

He Laojiu hoarsely raised his voice and roared to the sky, and the other two boatmen in the stern of the boat raised the pole at the same time, and plunged into the rock of the cliff wall fiercely, and the teak pole that was not broken by thousands of catties was bent hugely, and then followed the water potential, readjusted the direction of the bow, brushed the cliff, and went down the stream.

After the hanging foot, although the wind and rain are not reduced, after all, the river level is slow, not as dangerous as Fang Cai. At this time, the boat was more stable, and the people who had not died in the catastrophe breathed a sigh of relief, and the girl also sat back in the opposite seat, hanging her head and not knowing what to think. In order to avoid embarrassment, Xu You got up and walked to the bow of the boat, looked at the steep mountains on both sides of the strait, and said, "Is it usually so difficult to walk on the foot?" ”

He Laojiu saw that Xu You's bearing was extraordinary, and he didn't dare to break into foul language again, and said with a wry smile: "If this is the case every day, I would have stopped this business a long time ago, and I would have to leave a life to support my family, wouldn't I?" If you want to blame it, it only rained heavily in the upper reaches a few days ago, and the tributaries that flow into the surplus water also soared, and our luck was too bad to catch up, and the people who blew this wind from his grandfather were hairy......

As he spoke, he saw a large piece of floating broken wood, and it should be that the ship in front was not as lucky as Xu You, and it directly hit the cliff and disintegrated and sank. Xu You raised his eyes to look around, looking for survivors, although the chance of survival in this situation is very small, but if someone has a big life, he can't see death without saving.

Xu is seeing Xu You's thoughts, He Laojiu wiped the rain on his face, and said: "Lang Jun is effortless, the water flow here is too fast, and there are countless dark whirlpools underneath, if you really fall into the water, you will definitely die." Even if we were lucky enough to swim out of the water, our boat wouldn't be able to get there......"

"There!"

Xu You suddenly spoke, pointing to the shore near the cliff far downstream, as if someone was struggling to hold on to the abrupt rock. He Lao looked in the direction of Xu You's finger, the rain hurt so badly on his face that he could barely open his eyes, how could he see people?

"Lang Jun is wrong, right?"

Xu You's eyesight was a hundred times better than him, He Laojiu tried to open his eyes wide, and listened with his ears, but there was only the sound of wind and rain, he couldn't see people, and he couldn't hear anyone calling for help, and said, "Could it be wood?" ”

"No, it's a living person. Lao Jiu, can you try to bring the boat a little closer? ”

"Lang Jun, you have a good heart, but my old nine is not a bad person. When you're out on the boat, who dares to say that you're never in distress? Anyone who can help, will help, but this is definitely not possible. Not to mention that I didn't see anyone, even if there was really a big living person, I couldn't risk saving it. I just got past the foot, but I fought hard, if this will rely on the past and something happens, this boat has more than 20 lives, who can afford it? ”

Xu You knew that what He Laojiu said was the truth, but he couldn't hold it for too long, if his strength was exhausted and he sank into the river, he was afraid it would be too late to hesitate, and said: "Qingming!" ”

Qingming followed him out when he got out of the cabin, and he stood behind him all the time, and said without thinking: "I'll go!" ”

"Wait! Lao Jiu, can there be a longer rope on the boat? ”

"This ...... There is only a tether rope, and you can't throw it that far......"

Xu You turned back to the cabin and said, "Can I borrow your belt?" ”

Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and did not react. In fact, it was not a stingy belt, but the conversation between Xu You and He Laojiu They all heard it, and most of them thought that Xu You was not a fool, he finally escaped death, who would risk his life to save a stranger he didn't know?

The girl stood up, untied the leather belt around her waist generously, walked over and handed it to Xu You, her eyes were full of sincerity, and said, "It's important to save people!" ”

At the same time, he motioned to several people with her and his party to send the belt over, and the man who looked bohemian looked at the girl strangely, stood behind him and made a strange face, obviously praising Xu You:

Little brother, there you are!

Someone took the lead, collected a number of belts in an instant, and helped tie them into knots. Xu You tried, it was quite strong, one end was tied to Qingming's waist, and the other end was in his hand, at this time, the light boat gradually approached the person who fell into the water, and there was a horizontal distance between the two, the girl also walked up to the bow of the boat, snatched the rope from Xu You's hand, looked at it horizontally, and said: "You have no power to tie the chicken, it's useless to hold it, I'll come!"

If Qingming is really in danger, Xu You will naturally take action, there is no need to quarrel with the girl now, after all, people have good intentions. Ready, Qingming volleyed into the air, like a milk swallow returning to the forest, into the wind and rain, when the true qi was about to be exhausted, the toes were lightly touched on the floating plank, recycled and regenerated, repeated three times, and finally approached the goal. In despair, the man was shocked to see Qingming descending from the sky, and thought that it was the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, and suddenly his face was full of piety, and he took refuge in Buddhism in the future, and decades later, he became a monk.

However, at this time, he was still a poor man hovering on the line of death, Qingming attached himself to the cliff like a gecko, bent down and grabbed his arm. I felt a strong coming, and the man climbed to Qingming's back like a cloud, holding his shoulders tightly with his hands, and wrapping his feet around his waist, he would really rather die than let go.

Qingming didn't dare to delay for too long, there was a dangerous shoal with a big drop in front of him, and the speed of the ship obviously began to speed up, and after a moment's slowness, it opened up a distance of eight or nine feet, and after a few breaths, it really couldn't return to the ship.

"Hold on!"

Qingming swept through the air, and his breath was staggering, but as far as the eye could see, there was no wooden block to borrow. At this moment, I saw a looming white giant in the water, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I swooped down, put a little on the back of the thing, and volleyed into the air. The girl at the bow of the boat pulled the clothesline at the same time and threw it diagonally towards the boat with Qingming obliquely.

The white giant was in pain, and jumped out of the water, carrying countless waves, leaving its slender and graceful figure in the depths of everyone's eyes in the wind and rain.

"Dragons? White Dragon! ”

"It's really a white dragon! Ah, the white dragon is here! ”

"The white dragon is here!"

Qingming heard the exclamation on the ship, looked back, and only saw a glimpse of the moment. The white giant turned out to be a fish, but it had a strange appearance, with a sword-like nose, narrow and flattened, a pale white back, a pale gray belly, and a slightly pink dorsal, anal and caudal fins. Not to mention, the white fish with a body length of nearly three zhang, if it weren't for Qingming's eyesight and close observation, he would really think it was a dragon.

There was a thrilling fall to the bow of the boat, and after a preliminary examination, the man suffered only a few minor abrasions, which was really fatal. The girl standing beside Xu You stared blankly at the place where the white fish was infested, her eyes were filled with indescribable joy, and she heard her murmuring: "Lost mulberry elm, gained the east...... I didn't expect Shangrao's vermilion grass to be found, but I saw the white dragon here......"

Dragons may really exist, and since the crossing, Xu You has gone from being an outright atheist to a half-believing skeptic. But just now this white thing will never be a dragon, in his previous life he went abroad to play, and once saw a white sturgeon caught by someone in the Columbia River, up to six meters long, weighing more than 1,600 catties, because of the long nose, it is also called the elephant fish, just like the one just saw, but this one is longer and heavier.

China is one of the birthplaces of the white sturgeon, and as the largest freshwater fish, it is also known as the living fossil in the Yangtze River, which is a rare treasure. In ancient times, there was a folk song singing "a thousand catties of wax and ten thousand catties of elephants", and this tuna was the one that was referred to. And because of the body length and skeletal characteristics, haunted the big rivers, see the head but not the tail, after later generations research, tuna, should be one of the prototypes of the dragon!

Therefore, these people on the ship mistakenly thought it was a white dragon, and it cannot be said that it is completely wrong. Xu You had no intention of correcting people's preconceived notions of science and biology, he was interested in the fact that the girl next to him was obviously of extraordinary origin, and that a group of five of them boarded the ship in Shangrao, in order to find the legendary auspicious vermilion grass but returned in vain.

If the king has holiness, then Zhu Cao is born!

I don't know which king is so anxious for the auspicious coming?
