Chapter 104 The water of the Green Stream River is as green as blue
In late autumn, the water of the green stream river is clear, and the scenery of green hills on both sides is beautiful. The river, which originates in the northern foothills of Asan and winds its way through many mountain ranges and valleys, reaches its upper reaches with a wide and flat surface and a soothing current that flows slowly to the southeast.
The autumn wind blows, and the river surface ripples, which is bright and quiet against the background of the blue sky and white clouds.
On the surface of the water near the riverbank, white swans are floating in dense clusters as they migrate southward. Some of them frolic on the surface of the water in twos and threes; Some hover low in the sky with their slender wings; Some walked gracefully through the sand and rocks on the shore.
"Yo-roar-" Shi Tianji, who was standing at the bow of the boat, couldn't bear the loneliness, put his hands together to his mouth to make a trumpet shape, and roared loudly at the swans.
The frightened swans immediately flew up from the water and flew towards the mountains on both sides. For a time, the entire river was full of whirling white swans.
The members of the detachment took a small awning boat, which was rented by the second leader by the river from acquaintances.
After more than half a month of drifting on the water, the team members at this time were almost at Jilong Mountain.
Along the river, there are very few ships swimming. When passing through several water gang boundaries, although they were also blocked by interrogation, the second leader still managed to defuse them one by one, and the boat was able to pass smoothly.
Through conversation, everyone learned that the second leader used to be a boatman on the Green River. Later, he got into trouble because of a fight and injured people. When he fled to the door of the tomb of Jing Concubine, it rained heavily. As a last resort, he had to hide in the tomb. At this time, it happened that the undead guards led by Hu Buda patrolled the mountain here. The second leader was mistaken for a tomb robber and was captured by Hubuda. After Hu Buda found out the truth, he cherished that the second leader was a man, so he invited him to join the gang. The second leader was already hungry at the time, so he agreed, became a member of the Guardians of the Dead, and gradually gained the respect of Hu Buda and was promoted to the second leader.
"Lao Shi, I don't know how many swan couples' good dreams have been disturbed by your voice. If you're going to be idle, why don't you help the second leader row? Xie Yuan sat on the boat gang and said to Shi Tianji while paddling with his hands.
"That's right. Come on, second leader, you rest for a while, and let me make a section for you. Shi Tianji said, walking to the second leader.
"Lao Shi, be careful. Just use the oars to keep the boat in the right direction. The current will automatically push the boat forward. The second leader stood up, called Shi Tianji like everyone else, and handed over the oars in his hand.
"Don't worry, I don't believe I can't fiddle with a small boat." Shi Tianji took the oars and sat down, shaking the boat straight.
"Brother Shi, you are not Miss Qianjin, why did you sit on the boat and sway from side to side." Ye Ruliu wanted to liven up the atmosphere and said to Shi Tianji.
"I, although I'm not a daughter, I'm a jack." Shi Tianji humorously twisted his ass at everyone.
Shi Tianji inadvertently twisted his ass and twisted the boat slightly.
"Lao Shi, don't twist your jacks, if you twist again, this boat will fall apart." Shi Lang sat behind Ye Ruliu, grabbed the hull of the boat and said.
"Why don't I sing a song to everyone?" Shi Tianji held the oars in both hands and paddled casually, and due to the uneven force of the oars, the hull of the boat was obviously deflected to one side. But Shi Tianji was completely unaware, he was immersed in the incomparable pleasure of indulging in the landscape.
"Lao Shi, don't you stop singing your love song that the five tones are not allowed to fall off the scum, take care of the oars, you see that the boat is crooked. You call singing out of tune, rowing off track. Xie Yuan reminded Shi Tianji.
"Well, really. Why can't I draw steadily? Use a little more effort. Shi Tianji also found that the boat had seriously deviated from the course under his control, and he was unwilling to row the oars hard. In this way, instead of being reoriented, the boat spun around in the water.
"Lao Shi, if you continue to turn like this, be careful to turn us all into the water." Shi Lang said.
"Hey, why won't he listen to me?" The more Shi Tianji tried to adjust the direction of the ship, the more he couldn't find a balance point. I had to scribble in a hurry.
"Okay, Lao Shi, let's do it with me." The second leader looked at Shi Tianji's struggling appearance, and hurriedly walked over to take the oars from Shi Tianji's hands.
Under the control of the second leader, the canopy boat adjusted its course and moved forward.
"Come on, Lao Shi, sit next to me and take a breath." Xie Yuan patted the board of the boat beside him with his right hand and said to Shi Tianji.
"I'm a good farmer, and it seems that the boat can't be used." Shi Tianji sat beside Xie Yuan in frustration.
"Brother Shi, this is called interlacing like a mountain." Ye Ruliu said.
"It's just that, it seems that I don't have a boat at all." Shi Tianji followed Ye Ruliu's words to find a step for himself.
"However, Lao Shi is not easy, he is tired and sweaty." Shi Lang said.
"What's it called? It's called a cow chasing a rabbit – you can't do it. Xie Yuan said.
"Who do you say, you 'water serpent'? Believe it or not, I threw you into the water. Shi Tianji felt that Xie Yuan had something to say, and grabbed Xie Yuan's neck with some annoyance.
"Ouch, Lao Shi. Tap. I'm about to be broken by you. Isn't that just an analogy? I didn't say you were a cow. Xie Yuan was pinched by Shi Tianji's neck, and said with a painful expression.
"Why don't I listen to you?" Shi Tianji still didn't let go.
"Forget it, Brother Shi. Brother Xie Yuan is to see that you are tired, and tell a joke to make you relax. Ye Ruliu saw Xie Yuan's painful appearance and hurriedly interceded for Xie Yuan.
"Yes, yes, the little brother just wants you to relax and relax, and there is no other malice." Xie Yuan was pinched by Shi Tianji's big hand, which was very uncomfortable, and he followed Ye Ruliu's words and said to Shi Tianji in an almost pleading tone.
"That's pretty much it. For the sake of my eldest sister's self-exculpation, I will spare you this time. Shi Tianji said, letting go of the hand that was twisting Xie Yuan's neck.
"Ouch, it hurts me. Lao Shi, where did you come from so much. It's really ruthless! Xie Yuan rubbed his neck with his hand and said with a grin.
"I didn't use much effort. That's how it gently lifts your neck. Who knew you were so squeamish. Why don't I give you a rub? Shi Tianji said, stretching his hand to Xie Yuan's neck.
"Alright, alright, you can spare me. If you want to give me those blows again, my neck will have to be broken. Xie Yuan twisted his head away, avoiding Shi Tianji's outstretched hand.
"Brother Xie Yuan, they all say that you are only eight years old, and you are rich in five cars. In the face of this wonderful river, why not improvise a poem to help Yaxing? Shi Lang said.
"Yes, yes, let's have a song. Let's also see the demeanor of your great talent. Ye Ruliu was also interested.
"Facing the beautiful scenery of the river, I was still very interested just now. But let Lao Shi pinch my neck like this, and I don't feel anything. I really can't make any good poems. However, I'll recite a five-character poem "Farewell to Jingmen" to everyone, okay? Xie Yuan said slightly apologetically.
"Okay. I don't understand anything anyway. Despite the fact that Lang ...... What's going on? Shi Tianji really wanted to hear Xie Yuan's teasing, so he said first.
"It's a recitation." Ye Ruliu spoke for Shi Tianji.
"Yes, yes, recitation. Hurry up. Shi Tianji raised his hand at Xie Yuan.
"Crossing the far Jingmen and coming from Chu to travel.
The mountains follow the plains, and the rivers flow into the great wilderness.
Under the moon, the flying mirror, the clouds are born and the sea is built.
still pity the hometown water, thousands of miles to see off the boat. ”
Xie Yuan didn't care about Shi Tianji's insincere positive attitude, he adjusted his facial expression, and recited Li Bai's love poem to everyone.
"Okay-" After Xie Yuan finished reciting, Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu applauded vigorously. Although Shi Tianji didn't understand what he meant, he was infected by Shi Lang and Ye Ruliu's high emotions, and applauded.
"It's ugly." After Xie Yuan finished reciting, he humbly arched his hand at everyone.
"Not to mention, the mood described in this poem is really a bit like the environment we are currently in." Shi Lang felt something in his heart and said.
"Yes, at this moment, if the moon is in the sky and the moon reflects the river, then in the poem, 'Flying mirror under the moon, Yunsheng knot sea building.' Two sentences are even more appropriate. Ye Ruliu continued Shi Lang's words and said.
"'Still pity the water of my hometown, and send the boat off thousands of miles.' What a verse! Thinking back to the scene when I left home by boat to see off my relatives, it is really emotional! The artistic conception in the poem evoked Xie Yuan's memories of his past, and he lowered his head a little sadly.
The boat immediately fell silent. Xie Yuan's sentimentality also evoked the feelings of Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and Shi Tianji for their hometown, relatives, and the past.
Yes, since setting foot in this remote foreign land, thousands of miles of battle, birth and death. During this period, there was no news of relatives in his hometown. Presumably, relatives and friends thousands of miles away are also worried about themselves!
While Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and others were talking all the way, Luo Shiyin had been sitting in the stern of the boat with Li Ruzhu. He knew that Li Ruzhu was still not free from the pain of losing his father, so Luo Shiyin did not join in the jokes of his subordinates, but accompanied Li Ruzhu and had some simple conversations with him. During the conversation, Li Ruzhu introduced to Luo Shiyin some customs and landforms along the Lujian River.
Before you know it, the boat enters a wide river.
"Second leader, how far is it from Jilong Mountain?" Luo Shiyin felt that the boat might be about to reach the ferry, so he asked the second leader who was concentrating on rowing.
"It's almost there. Not far ahead is the Yunchuan Ferry. It was from the ferry port to the shore. The second leader replied.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way!" Luo Shiyin said to the second leader.
"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do. Only when I get you safely to Jilong Mountain, can I go back and give an account to the big leader. The second leader said.
"Cheer up, everyone, it's almost time for your destination." Luo Shiyin said to his subordinates, who were listless at this time.
Hearing the commander's order, Shi Lang and the others hurriedly packed up their things.
At that moment, a plank boat approached from the opposite side, and two shirtless men on board were rowing with all their might, so that their little boat could go as fast as possible in the reverse current.
"Friend, don't go any further. The Yunchuan ferry port is full of Japanese people. They are arresting people on the shore. Go up one and catch the other. It's better to hurry back the way you came, lest you be caught by the Japanese people and waste your life. Seeing the boat that Luo Shiyin and the others were on, a man on the wooden boat coming from the opposite side shouted loudly to this side.
