Chapter 154: Water Ghosts
Far like a silver vine hanging fruit melon, close to a fierce horse to the east. The broken mountain cuts the wall and the dragon sword, and the southern country feeds thousands of families.
The Yangtze River originates in the Tanggula Mountains, on the southwest side of the main peak of the Tanggula Mountains. Glaciers are widely distributed here, and the ice and snow meltwater of Jiang and Diru Glacier is the source of the Yangtze River.
As the first river in Asia, the Yangtze River begins in Qingchuan, runs through Yunnan and Chongqing, flows through Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai, and finally flows into the East China Sea. It is an important sea transport river in all dynasties of China, with dense passenger and cargo transportation and continuous ships coming and going.
The Yangtze River is a continuation of the sea route, connecting inland and coastal ports with other major cities into a transport network, connecting the navigable Yellow River and Weishui through the Grand Canal, which also links the seaports of Hangzhou and Tianjin.
It is not only the main artery of China's transportation, but also divides the field of China into two parts.
There are many people who rely on the Yangtze River for their livelihood, and the families who transport goods, move coolies, and fish all rely on the Yangtze River to make a living. Of course, there are also some people who have dual identities, they are shippers and coolies who transport goods during the day, and sometimes they will make cameos at night to kill and rob goods. Looking like an honest man, he picked up a knife and turned into a man-eating demon, this kind of person is not uncommon on the riverside dock.
The people call this kind of person a water ghost, a water ghost, and there is an explanation that when you see them, you can only obediently be a ghost in the water.
In the afternoon, when the sky was getting dark, in a warehouse next to the wharf, a dozen coolies were discussing something together, their faces were dark, and they looked like men who had been begging for a living outside all year round. They should have been honest and honest, but now the expressions on their faces are extremely fierce, and if there are locals here, they can guess their other identity.
Sitting among them was a woman, about twenty years old, with a weak body, but there was a fierce look between her eyebrows, and a long scar on her face, which made her look very mad, and the big men looked at her with fear in their eyes, and they did not dare to be disrespectful at all.
"Sister Qu, these two boats have a very deep draft, there must be a lot of cargo, eat this boat, we don't have to suffer in this life, and we can live a good life for two fucking days."
The woman called Sister Qu is named Qu Daliang, I don't know why a woman is called this name, and no one knows her specific origin, but this Qu Daliang is famous on this river, which makes all kinds of water ghosts frightened, and it is said that this fierce god has a special hobby and loves to eat human flesh......
Qu Daliang pondered for a moment and said: "I don't know what is on this ship, and I don't know who is coming, if we make a rash move, we will capsize in the gutter if we are not careful, but I am afraid that when the time comes, this silver will be destined to be taken, and it will not be spent!" ”
This morning, when people got up, they suddenly found two large ships parked on the dock, with a large hull, and it is rare to see such a large ship in Jiangxi. When it was almost noon, a few people came down from the boat, led by a handsome boy with a pretty girl.
After they went ashore, they bought a lot of things, and a sharp-eyed man saw that the boy took out a large stack of silver tickets when he paid the silver in the shop, and he was generous and cheerful, and never bargained. In the eyes of merchants, this is a foolish and wealthy boy, and in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, this is a rare big fat sheep.
After Qu Daliang finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, a blue-faced man gritted his teeth and said: "Sister Qu, when you come to our realm, there is no reason to let him go in vain, if we are on the shore, we will still scare him a little, but on this river, we are the dragon king who can call the wind and rain, as long as the boat sinks, no matter who he is, none of them will survive!" Sister Qu, can you give me an idea......?"
Qu Daliang's face was even more fierce, he licked his lips, and said: "Just in case, I will go on the boat tonight to blow smoke for the fat sheep, you will ambush the left and right, and when I come out, you will start to scuttle the boat." If there is danger, you will scatter and leave me alone! ”
Getting on the ship alone was the most dangerous, Qu Daliang took the initiative to go to the vanguard, and the eyes of the big men showed respect. In fact, Qu Daliang is a female streamer, but he can convince all the bandits and treat her as the boss, not only because she is more ruthless than others, but also because she is more righteous.
No one knows Qu Daliang's origin, once there was a brother who was drunk and had the courage to say two words to her, and she bit off a mouthful of flesh and blood on the spot, when Qu Daliang's mouth was bright red, his eyes were green, like a hungry wolf who chose people to eat, and no one dared to be disrespectful to her after that.
"Sister Qu, let's go, I'm good at water, even if I am discovered, I can jump into the river and escape......"
Before the blue-faced man finished speaking, Qu Daliang waved his hand and said: "Don't fucking grind and chirp like a girl, after this business is done, the silver you share will be sent back to the mother-in-law and baby at home, if you let me know which of you took the silver to find the girl in the kiln, the old lady swallowed him alive!" ”
Everyone didn't dare to say anything, and the fear in their eyes was even stronger......
……………………………
At night, there is a quiet outside Jiujiang City, the river surface is sparkling under the moonlight, and the large and small ships docked on the wharf, the most conspicuous are the two big boats in the middle. The hour had passed, the lights had been turned off early, and even the dark prostitutes who worked late at night had stopped moving after a scream, and this was the time when people slept soundest.
Suddenly, a black shadow silently emerged from the water, swam to the largest hull, and climbed along the rope to the boat.
Qu Daliang had a cold knife in his mouth, and after getting on the boat, he rolled to the shadow of the cabin, and then went directly to the rear cabin. When she came to a side room, she pinned the dagger to her waist and pulled out a leather paper bag from her bosom, which was wrapped in white powder.
A trace of unbearability flashed in Qu Daliang's eyes, and then he became fierce again, poked a big hole in the window with his fingers, and then rolled up the powder with oily paper and slowly blew it in......
When she was done, she turned around to leave, but her heart twitched fiercely, and in the moonlight, a big man held a long machete in his hand and looked at her coldly.
Qu Daliang settled down, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and stabbed it quickly, the other party was about to resist with a knife, Qu Daliang took advantage of his unpreparedness to rush to the edge of the deck, and made a gesture to jump down, as long as he jumped off the river, he could escape with his life, where is this big fat sheep, it is clearly a fierce wolf, he has already laid a net, just waiting for himself to jump down!
Just when Qu Daliang thought he was about to escape for his life, his ankle was grabbed by someone......
(The train to Xi'an tonight has been packing up the salutes, so the update is late, forgive me!) The train continues to be more, tomorrow morning's first watch will not be late, the brothers who have a ticket vote to vote...... )
