People in every industry or region have the rules of each industry and the customs and habits of each region.

The steppe people believed in the wolf as a totem.

The black-natured organization regards Guan Gong as a god's residence.

Every time I go to war, I will bow to Guan Gong.

And the Yellow River craftsmen rely on the Yellow River to survive.

So they worship the king of the Yellow River.

There is no convincing evidence of the existence of the Yellow River King.

But again, there is no evidence that it doesn't exist.

And there are almost no people who have seen the king of the Yellow River.

But in the legend, the king of the Yellow River is said to be flesh and blood.

The old man is a water ghost of the Yellow River and a craftsman of the Yellow River, so of course he believes it.

"Every time the Yellow River craftsmen go out on the boat, they will worship the king of the Yellow River. And every time the boat is collected, the king of the Yellow River will also be sacrificed. I've seen the Yellow River King in those waters, so I'd advise you not to disturb the Yellow River King, that's no joke. ”

The old man's tone was serious.

In fact, the old man did not believe in the so-called King of the Yellow River in the past.

But not until he saw it with his own eyes.

The old man was convinced.

"Have you seen the King of the Yellow River?"

The green-haired Fei stiff listened to the old man's words, and suddenly became surprised.

In fact, the legend of the Yellow River King has a long history.

He often heard about it when Greenhair was alive.

But these have always been folklore.

Folklore is actually not very credible.

The old man had actually seen the king of the Yellow River.

This can't help but be surprised that the green hair is stiff.

"It's true. ”

The old man recounted.

In fact, it all started with the old man using the carcass of an animal to go to that body of water for an experiment.

The old man guarded the carcass of the animal on the shore, and after ten days, the carcass finally began to decompose.

And while the old man checks the extent of the decomposition of the animal carcass.

Suddenly, he saw a black figure floating slowly in the water.

At first, the old man couldn't see what it was.

But when he saw it clearly, he gasped in fright.

was also so frightened that he ran for his life.

Because it's a terrible fish.

The head of the fish is sharp, and the fangs are clear.

What makes the old man unforgettable for the rest of his life is.

The strange fish was twenty or thirty meters long, like a giant dragon.

And a pair of its eyes stared at him coldly.

It was as if he was going to pounce on him from the bottom of the water and eat him.

The old man was so frightened that he crawled and walked away without looking back.

Since then, the old man has been convinced of the legend of the Yellow River King.

I don't know much about that water.

And from then on, he also strictly followed the ancient precepts.

Every time he went out on the boat, he would worship the king of the Yellow River devoutly.

And he would put a big red rooster in the bow of his ship.

If he encounters the king of the Yellow River, he will immediately throw the big red rooster into the water and sacrifice it.

Of course.

Since then, the old man has never met the king of the Yellow River again.

But every time he took the ship.

will cut the neck of the big red rooster.

Throw the big red rooster into the water and sacrifice it.

The implication is to thank the king of the Yellow River for his kindness.

"Well, old man, you send us to the nearby waters, tell us where we are, and we'll go over on our own. ”

Seeing the old man talking about this, his eyes were still trembling.

Ye Youran was actually skeptical of what the old man said.

Rural people have little knowledge, and what they may encounter is ordinary big fish.

It's just that I haven't seen it, so it's associated with bizarre things.

After all, the Yellow River has been running for thousands of years.

It's not too strange to have some big fish or other creatures.

What's more, maybe the old man is just dazzled.

Just looking at the old man's face, Ye Youran knew that it was unlikely that he would agree to Ye Youran and send Ye Youran and them to that water.

Ye Youran could only retreat to the second.

"If you insist on going, I can send you there, but I still have to advise you, you are still young, and it is better not to do that risky thing. ”

The old man said earnestly.

"Thank you for the kindness of the old man, but we must go. ”

Ye Youran didn't have any more explanations.

Because he can't explain it too clearly.

And even if there is really the king of the Yellow River, what if there is still it.

Ye Youran has a reason to fly away.

"Alas, the young man will not be persuaded, come up, and I will send you there. ”

The old man saw Ye Youran's determined eyes.

Shaking his head, he said as if talking to himself.

Ye Youran and the green hair were overjoyed.

Hurriedly got on the old man's small wooden boat.

The horsepower of this small wooden boat is not great.

Because the motor is older.

The old man was at the helm in the back, and the boat was not much faster than walking.

What's more, they will swim against the current, and the speed will naturally not be much faster.

"Old man, how many merits have you salvaged in this business for so many years?"

Ye Youran stood opposite the old man and asked the old man with a smile.

"There are not a thousand, but eight hundred. ”

The old man said with some pride.

But then he regretted it again:

"It's a pity! In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people looking for me to salvage, because they are all modern salvage, and those companies that salvage for money are not accumulating virtue, but creating evil. ”

The old man said this, and he was a little distressed.

In the past, when the elderly salvaged corpses, they generally did not charge money.

Because it takes three years to receive such dead money.

As long as the host's family asks for a meal and gives a big red rooster.

Later, in order to make a living, the old man had to start charging.

He is a lonely old man and doesn't care, but he is not unlucky.

But the old man's request was not high, from three or five yuan to a hundred yuan later.

Because the old man has always believed that the family of the deceased is sad enough.

The family should not be allowed to grieve and at the same time increase the financial loss.

Even when encountering some people who really have no money, the old people are willing to take nothing.

However, those salvage companies salvaged the corpses, and the additional money they asked for was often thousands or tens of thousands of yuan.

Even some black-hearted companies, when they encounter some sunken corpses that are difficult to salvage work, will ask for a high price of 100,000 yuan.

After all, the people of the country pay attention to seeing people in life, seeing corpses in death, and returning to the roots of fallen leaves.

Some rich people don't care about money.

As long as the sunken corpse can be recovered, he is willing to give as much as he wants.

And to a certain extent, this also fuels the arrogance of those salvage companies.

And that's not all.

The important thing is that the people in those companies simply don't know how to respect corpses.

I don't know what to do with corpses.

Often, after being salvaged, they start collecting money as soon as they are thrown ashore.

It also does not matter whether the body is naked or exposed to the sun.

The elderly are powerless to stop this phenomenon and cannot change it.

But he was very sad, sad that the world was declining, and people's hearts were not ancient.

Although Ye Youran agreed with the old man's behavior, he also admired the old man's persistence.

But I felt that the old man's emotions were a little excited.

Ye Youran hurriedly changed the topic and said:

"Old man, you must have encountered a lot of strange things after so many years of work! Can you tell me about it? Or some taboos in this industry!"
