I frowned and asked, "Then why would there be less trouble?" ”

Jin Gui said: "The hundreds of mountains over there, the name is not known, it is estimated that no one has entered it for dozens of hundreds of years, if it was before, the trouble would be more than those wild things in the mountains coming out to hurt people." Now that the place at the mouth of the river is locked up by the army, you will not take the mountain road when you get to Lei Gongdu. ”

On Tuesday, Mao said: "If you don't take the mountain road, can you still take the waterway into the mountain?" ”

Jin Gui said: "Walking all over the world, I am sad to Lei Gongdu." Lei Gongdu water rapids are dangerous, it is not easy to cross the beach, not to mention the fortification, the fortification of all dynasties and dynasties is in the wild boar mouth below Lei Gongdu, you are about to change a few small boats when you are about to go to Lei Gongdu, I used to transport wood to people at the mouth of Lei Gongdu, I know that there is a small river that can enter those mountains, but there is a long waterway, I don't know, it is estimated that other people do not know. ”

I said, "That's great, thank you, old man, and when it's time for the next pier, we'll go ashore and pick up a few boats to take along the way." ”

At this time, the white dragon shook his head from the bow of the ship and entered the cabin.

Jin Gui smiled: "This subordinate dog is good. "I was about to touch the white dragon's head.

The white dragon suddenly barked at Jin Gui, Jin Gui was startled, and the cigarette pouch in his hand almost didn't hold it steadily.

It made everyone laugh for a while.

Jin Gui smiled and said, "This dog is still evil!" ”

The journey went smoothly on this day, and Lan Meizai went out for the first time, and she was very excited.

I said, "Lan Meizai, sing a mountain song to listen to Sa!" ”

Lan Meizai didn't twist, stood at the bow of the boat and said, "Okay! I haven't sung a mountain song for a long time since I've lived in the city, so I'll sing you a boat song that my grandfather taught me! ”

Lan Meizai cleared her throat and sang:

Timar brags in the sky, and sailors shout trumpets on the beach.

The official family has to bang the gong when they go out, and the boatman has to sing when he walks on the water.

The flowing water rhyme shouted by the trumpet, and the boat flows through the bamboo forest.

The song has no size and is determined by people, and the water is flattened without depth.

The happy trumpet is a happy song, and the trumpet is an elixir.

The trumpet loves water passengers, and the gutter canyon is lively.

The trumpet came on board as a companion, and the evil gods and wild ghosts did not dare to haunt him."

Lan Meizai's singing voice is crisp, like the chirping of a yellow bird in the river valley, which is graceful and listening, so that everyone is intoxicated.

After the Shunjiang beach, only to see the unitary water serpentine bucket turning, the stream and the river loop, because we Wuling Mountain remote corner, the traffic is inconvenient, many river sections have not been manually excavated and repaired, go for half a day, then see the turbulent waves, the dangerous shoal is dense.

After a while, the water gradually stabilized again, and Jin Gui came in and told us, "Ladies and gentlemen, hold on steadily." It's going to be Qinglang Beach soon, and the beach over there is even more dangerous. ”

As he was talking, he saw a corpse floating in the river in the distance, disappearing in the waves, and then floating a bubbling corpse on the beach in the distance.

Lin Xia frowned and said, "How many corpses are there in this river?" ”

Jin Gui sighed: "The boss doesn't know, this is nothing, our boating people are water monks, and they eat blood basin rice, and there are not a few people who died in this Youshui River one day, it can't be counted." ”

Lin Xia said: "That... So how not to rein in these corpses? ”

Jin Gui looked at the corpses in the river and said: "The corpses in this river can't be counted, and if they float away, they will feed the fish, how can they be restrained." When you get to Qinglang Beach, you can take a look. ”

As he was talking, he could only hear the sound of the waves in front of him like thunder, Jin Gui's face changed, and he said: "Bosses, hold on to it, don't come out of the cabin." Wait a minute, don't take anything to heart when you hear it. ”

After a while, the shaking of the ship began to intensify, and Jin Gui personally took the helm, commanding the ship loudly, and the foreman was nervously holding the artemisia pole in front of the boat.

Suddenly, a black crow appeared in the sky above the river, making a noise. Jin Gui shouted: "The crow is here!" The boatmen hurried to throw a large amount of prepared food into the air, and crows came up to peck at it.

On Tuesday, Mao asked loudly: "Helm, what are you doing?" ”

Jin Gui said: "This is a sacrifice to the crow god, and the crow can catch the food in the air, which means that this boat is peaceful, otherwise there will be danger." ”

The foreman in front scolded at this time: "X, you M's B!" For a while, on the river, the boatmen and sailors who had just shouted the wild and rough horn were all replaced by vulgar scolding, one after another on the river, and Lin Xia and Lan Meizai were red-faced when they heard it.

The boat crossed the beach with a bump, and Jin Gui came in to apologize: "I just crossed Qinglang Beach, also known as "Scolding Niang Beach", and you have to shout wild words to get by." ”

Lin Xia smiled awkwardly and nodded.

I said, "Why do you want to scold your mother before you go over?" ”

Jin Gui said: "This is all passed down from generation to generation, this is the most dangerous road today, every year there are many boats capsized here, the river is the most resentful, the river does not know that there are a lot of grievances, so the crows gather here." Therefore, I can only scold all the way, and do not allow those unclean things to get on the bow and stern of the ship, so that we can cross the beach. ”

Before dusk and sunset, Jin Gui took us ashore and bargained to buy a few of our local "North River Boats", which are small in size, shallow in draft, flexible in rudder, easy to operate, and especially suitable for small rivers in mountainous areas.

The next day there were dangerous shoals, but they were not as dangerous as the day before, and we began to get used to it. It's that the white dragon doesn't seem to want to see Jin Gui, and when he sees Jin Gui, he barks for a while.

On the afternoon of the third day, Jin Gui said: "Bosses, we will go to Lei Gongdu in one hour." ”

Lin Xia said: "Thanks to the boat boss!" ”

Jin Gui said: "Small meaning, small meaning, it's not easy to go out." ”

After walking for a while, I saw the ferry, and a person was drinking on a boulder in front of the ferry.

Lin Xia took the binoculars and looked at them, and said to me in turn: "Why is this person so weird. ”

On Tuesday, Mao was not happy to see Lin Xia, and he was also energetic: "Look, Miss Lin is not happy either, that guy is very yin." ”

I glanced at Ermao, a little annoyed, "Which one said that?" ”

On Tuesday, Mao saw that I was angry, and he was a little weak-hearted, and said, "Just... As far as I said, what do you want! ”

I scolded, "The night pot said that I knocked my mouth out!" ”

Lin Xia hurriedly interrupted the conversation between the two of us.

After the boat docked, I shouted at Bodonha, who heard the shout, slowly stood up, and nodded at me.

Bodongha is still dressed in the same strange way that day, but he has an extra wine gourd in his hand.

I told Bo Dongha about what Jin Gui said about changing boats and going directly down the river into the mountains.

Bodonha didn't say anything, nodded and jumped into the boat.

Lan Meizai was a little scared when she saw Bo Dongha, and hid behind Tuesday Mao and didn't dare to come out.

On Tuesday, Mao pulled up Lan Meizai and said, "Let's go, Lan Meizai, let's take the boat behind." ”

Bo Dongha glanced at the timid Lan Meizai, then turned his head and continued to drink.

After Jin Gui told us the general route, he said that he was going back.

Farewell to Jin Gui, we rowed on our own, Bo Dongha and I, Bai Long led the way in front, and the next day on the boat was Tuesday Mao, Lan Meizai and Lin Xia and several other team members.

The remaining dozen or so people sat in the two boats behind, dragging the mules and horses on the last two boats.

Following the route that Jin Gui said, we quickly found the big tree he said as a symbol. If you look closely, you can see a small river channel hidden in the reeds on the bank under the trees.

I supported the artemisia pole in the back, and Podonha was in charge of cutting down the miscellaneous trees that hung down into the river and clearing the reeds that blocked the river.

The reeds were swinging, the river channel was slightly wider, and the artemisia rods were inserted into the water and were full of mud one person deep.

The river is lined with towering ancient trees that shade the sky, and the river looks dark and damp.

After a while, Bo Dongha, who was careless just now, slowly squatted on the bow of the boat.

I thought that this guy Bodonha was going to be lazy and let me continue to hold the boat in the back, and I was about to say a few words.

Podonha turned to look at me and pointed to the reeds on the side of the river.

When I looked at it, I almost felt nauseous, but in one of the reeds, several large wild dogs were tearing at a swollen corpse on the shore.

The white dragon barked wildly at the group of wild dogs, and the wild dogs bared their teeth at us without showing weakness, revealing their fangs.

At this time, Lin Xia, Lan Meizai and others on the boat behind also saw this tragic image, and they were so frightened that they turned their heads and didn't dare to look at it.

I raised my shell gun and was about to shoot the wild dog.

Lin Xia shouted, "Don't shoot, be careful to attract those soldiers." ”

I cursed, and had to hold up the artemisia pole, trying to find some way out of this place.

After walking for another while, I suddenly felt that someone had just pinched my foot. I looked down, but I didn't see anything.

The mud here is thicker, and the air smells of decay.

At this moment, Bodonha suddenly stood up and motioned for me to stop the boat.

The white dragon also began to become agitated, and kept screaming at the bow of the boat.

At this time, I was only concerned about holding the boat, and I didn't bother to look ahead, and I was about to ask.

I only heard Podonha say: "We are fooled!" ”
