One hundred and twenty-nine down the river
I went down the river with the boat. A dress with water, a thousand layers of blue pupils, and a hundred miles of wind.
The breeze on the river blew the ribbon on his head far away, and on his body, he already had the taste of this Luo Shuiqiu.
The two-storey passenger ship has bunks on the ground and several upper rooms on the second floor. At this time, he was wrapped in vulgar silver and counted taels, which played a good role.
Xue Moyao and I each have one room. And his pony, housed in the stern. also followed us and took a trip along Luoshui.
The scenery on both sides of the strait is too beautiful for poetry to be recorded. In addition to the "love of reading things", we set up a table on the drying platform on the second floor, called the people with the right temper, and played fried gold flowers and fighting landlords for a few days.
That's right! The playing cards made of freshly cut cardboard, the Protestant taught them how to play, and with the cooperation with Xue Moxuan, they won two or three hundred dollars in three or four days.
Holding this large string of copper coins, the sense of accomplishment is hula.
Most of the pedestrians in the same boat were easy to get along with, but the old man who told us stories at the ferry was a little strange, and the longer I spent with him, the more I felt that this person was not as eloquent as he had been at the beginning.
And...... Everywhere he's been there, I always feel like there's something missing. It seems that he mingled with everyone at first, just to make it easier for him to run around.
Today's game is over, and I won another table of loose money, I smiled and returned the loot to the total, but counted: "No, it's thirty Wen less." β
I turned my head and asked Xue Moxuan: "The money is less, did the old man come here again just now?" β
He was sharpening a wooden sword with a knife: "yes, he took a few secretly." β
"Heyββ, you don't stop it when you see it!"
He looked ignorant: "Let's gamble money just for fun, and it doesn't matter if we take a few pennies away." And for him, he is so old, maybe there is some difficulty. β
I tilted my head: "My God, appeasement and adultery are cherished by the mercy you said...... If he is really short of money, why doesn't he live in the Chase shop! β
However, when I returned to the guest room, I found that the spike was gone!
I shouted the spiky name! The heart is pounding instantly!
Xue Moyao rushed in when he heard the sound, and then he stomped his feet: "It's that old thief again!" I'll go out and look for it! Look at what else you've lost! β
I immediately followed: "I was afraid of losing things, so I didn't bring anything!" The room is full of food, don't worry! β
The first instinct was to rush into the kitchen. Really! The tip of the tip is tied with a rope and can't scream, and the hot water is already boiling, and it is about to be slaughtered!
Xue Moyao snatched the tip back and handed it to me! Then he grabbed the old thief by the neck and shouted, "All the big guys come and see!" This old boy is a thief! Whoever is short of east and west, hurry up and copy it in his room! β
For a while, there was a lot of noise, and they rushed to the second floor!
The old man began to beg for mercy: "I said brother! You let go! Let go! No more stealing, no more stealing. β
I scolded with disdain: "Look at your old man's appearance, you are still a decent person for a while!" I didn't think it would be so unbearable. β
I still remember the story he told, and I originally wanted to ask who the "big guy" in the story was, but now it seems that it was all made up by him!
At this time, people rushed in again, and directly carried the old thief outside and stripped him clean, and there was not a single penny left in his money bag!
The old man cried: "Stop! Some are my own, my own! β
No one wanted to trust him anymore, so I hugged the tip and went upstairs.
The night was stormy and stormy, and the rain hit the boat. The old thief was crying miserably in the next room.
Xue Moyao couldn't stand it, so he picked up a pot of wine, took a plate of beef, and went to his room.
The old man wiped his nose: "I admit that I stole a few pennies, but I took a few more coins of the silver that this girl won." They', I didn't move much~"
I gave him a blank look: "Yes, you picked on me, not only to steal my money, but also to eat my pets." β
In the dim light, the folds on his face were concave into a black groove, and he said curtly: "Isn't it that I haven't touched any meat for several days......
Then he pinched the meat from the plate with his hand and ate it fragrantly.
Xue Moyun shook his head, "Okay, let's go back." β
was about to get up, but was stopped by the old man.
He said aggrievedly: "The two of you go slowly." I saw that the girl was the most curious about the previous story, did the girl want to ask, who is the big man? β
I raised my eyebrows: "Who would dare to believe your words now?" β
He shook his hands together and hurriedly explained: "No, no, although the old man is a thief, he also talks about morality. Listen to me, and then choose whether to believe or not. β
Xue Moyao respected the elder and poured him a glass of wine.
He raised his neck and drank it all, and said in a deep voice: "That person has long stopped doing work related to medicinal materials, and the position he did later, no one could have imagined that he would become a martial artist." Now, he is old, and his son is General Jin Wuwei! β
Xue Moyao was surprised: "Ah...... This! Do you mean Elder Zhang of the Patriotic Guard? β
This Wei Guogong, when he used to serve in the court, it was not uncommon. It's really a black and yellow skin, but the facial features are acceptable, and when it comes to the old man's mouth, it becomes a "black lacquer pickled".
The old man smothered the wine with a straight tube cup by cup: "Wow! The old man saw that the two came out in disguise, which family should also be the children of a high-ranking family. is also an official in the court, and you still have to beware of that old family. β
I snickered: "Presumably, the old man formed a bond with Wei Guogong when he was young, and now he does not hesitate to use every opportunity to clear his hatred for himself." β
The old man's eyelids were flushed with red clouds, and he squinted and said dizzily: "The old man hates that old thing, and the old thing, pig, dog, and dog insurance is also true." After saying this, he yawned, and he leaned against the wall and snored.
I tugged at Xue Moyun and left his room.
The wind and waves on the river tonight are a little scary. The rain fell sharply and slowly. The cold rain knocked on the window, dripping.
Originally, this kind of weather is best for wrapping in a soft quilt and having a sweet dream. It's just that people are on passenger ships, and their hearts are guests.
Since the day of departure, I have been sleeping in clothes. During the day, I had fun again, and when I lay in bed, I couldn't sleep comfortably.
Sleepless, I walked lightly to the bow of the boat to see the waves.
The waves have no end, rolling in the same attitude, the dark moon and black water, and the illuminated ship lamp has become a lonely lamp.
After walking a long way, I realized that I had seen them for the last time?
Apple, Xiao Niangniang, Zhou Guifei, Winter Break, Lin Yanzi...... And also...... Auntie, do I really not love her?
I do not know.
The hem of my skirt and my gown were blown up by the river breeze, and at this moment, I felt like a kite. The man holding me was Daddy, and he made my future less unknown.
At this time, the man who drove the boat came out, looked at the sky, looked at the waves, sighed and said, "I will soon arrive at Witch's Ridge, and I am afraid that there will be trouble again when I encounter black water on a rainy day." β
My eyes widened: "Witch Ridge? β
The boatman said, "Yes! Black waves together, a bad omen. β
I froze......
Almost as soon as the words were still in my ears, a dozen small boats came down the river, forcing our big ship to dock in their harbor.
This wave of "water bandits", regardless of gender, wears black turbans, and they really look like witches. Speaking in dialects they didn't understand, they drove the entire ship ashore.
Xue Moyao tugged at my sleeve and hid me behind me.
The night was dark, and the lanterns they were holding swayed in the wind, flickering and flickering. The light was dim, and we couldn't see clearly, so we just followed the instructions and moved forward.
The boatman kept shouting: "It's okay! It's okay! It's not a robbery, and we don't want our lives! Just wait a minute, and cooperate with the mountain people! β
It was like reassuring people's hearts over and over again that there were no swords and soldiers to meet each other.
Even if you have been along the river bank, you haven't gone too far before you see a cave with a bright bonfire in the cave!
The "witch" who took the lead pointed in and ordered us to enter. The peer probe looked into the cave, and saw that the layout inside was ordinary, and the light was ordinary, so he sparsely entered the cave.
Then a scene that I had only seen in a book appeared......
There is a huge stone case in the cave, and there is a puddle of dumpling stuffing scattered on the table. Next to the dumpling filling is a complete human skeleton, mottled with blood and stained with minced meat that has not been shaved clean.
This is, sky burial?
There was a witch who was five big and three thick came over, and maybe she saw that I was thin and easy to bully, so she came to me first. In his hand he was holding a black porcelain plate, and in the dish were two bloody eye beads.
My stomach was already churning.
She muttered a few words to me, and I didn't understand them.
The boat family translated: "The reputable elders of their clan will be disposed of in this way after their deaths. When the eagle doesn't come in the rain, it will choose people of different races to eat. Especially for the eyes, they think that giving food to the youngest will polish the way to reincarnation. Girl, just bear with me. β
I covered my mouth, and what I had eaten at night was already up to my throat.
Xue Moyao patted me on the shoulder and told me it was okay.
Then he sneered and said, "Also, it's been a thunderstorm for three or four days, and it's time for the eagle to hide." Well, I'll summon a few for you! β
"Huh?"
I was amazed.
I saw him take out a small wooden flute from his waist, put it to his lips and blow it lightly, and the melodious and deep flute sound immediately penetrated everyone's ear drums and seeped higher and farther......
Before the song was finished, several huge eagles fluttered their wings and braved the rain, and after circling in the cave for a few circles, they seemed to understand the meaning of the summoner, landed on the stone table in the middle of the cave, and began to peck at the puddle of minced meat!
More eagles are coming! And each of them is extraordinary, like the leader of the eagle flock.
The witches were overjoyed and knelt in a circle around the stone case and the eagle. Put your palms together and silently recite their words of help!
The boatman wiped his sweat, let out a long breath, and saluted Xue Moyun and said, "It's finally okay!" β
Everyone present was also deeply grateful, and thanked Xue Moyao again and again.
Then the leader of the witches smiled and said a few words to the boatman, and then told us to leave.
A difficult thing that could not be solved by the original big fight, was turned into a disaster by Xue Moxuan.
For the first time, I jumped around him, "You're amazing, aren't you!" How? β
The boatman leaned over and asked, "This son is from Lanqiang?" Only a few big clans in Lanqiang know how to communicate with the eagle! β
Xue Moyun looked ignorant again: "Definitely." It's just that after a serious illness, I somehow understood this. He smiled: "I think it's strange too!" β
I opened my mouth with a round mouth: "Wow! Why did you get an ability when you were sick and I didn't?! β
He tilted his head: "Who said that?" You've got a pointy point, no. β
"Sizzle...... That's right, it turns out that once the ghost door is closed, people will be reborn to some extent! β
He tugged at my sleeve again, "Come back, silly bunny." β
My heart trembled, "Silly rabbit", Nian Yi'an also called me that.
β¦β¦
Back in bed, this night, I missed Nian Yi'an, and tears wet the pillow again.
But the lingering sorrow will always temporarily dissipate the next day, and the game will start again, continuing the day's noise.
If I forget the time, another three or four days, with the change of air humidity day after day, I know that I have entered the Shu land.
The passenger ship docked at Tianshuidu, west of Yizhou, in the early morning, and the boat line ended.
The old man Mingzhi Xue Moyao gave him some entanglements, and secretly left his address in Jingzhong to him. And boasted that if there is anything stolen in the capital, he will be able to find it.
At this time, the pointed size, the cloth pocket can only hold half of it.
The little brown horse, which had rested for so long, was already gearing up and refreshed. Carrying us, the whip sounded, and he walked away.
