Chapter VII
In the cabin, under the feet, a huge tortoise, its shell black and swarthy, glittering,* as big as a bucket, its eyes opening and closing, silent when closed, shining when opened, it spread its limbs, its armor facing down, and slept soundly.
The waves are as flat as a mirror, the boat is slightly rippling everywhere, the boat is flat and stable, fluttering on the river, Zhao Ada and Zhang Youwang behind but can't catch it anyway, Jin Wansheng is at a strange time, look up again, but see the cloud curtain hanging low in the sky of the river, the wind on the river gradually rises, suddenly, the huge waves like a mountain in front of him rolled over, Ah Sheng operated the double oars, inhaled and held his breath, ready to fight the huge waves, but unexpectedly, the huge waves gradually entered the bow of the boat, the peak of the waves went to the bottom of the river, Ah Sheng danced the oars, the boat fell together, like a baby's car, flying over the huge waves.
"It's a wave!" Jin Wansheng shouted, who knows who he was talking about, but there was a simple voice one after another; "Who disturbed Grandpa's good dreams?"
Jin Wansheng heard the sound and looked again, the turtle was gone, but it was the blind fortune teller who was talking to him, and Jin Wansheng was busy talking; "The old gentleman is not surprised, just now a huge wave emptied the boat and shook the boat a few times."
The blind fortune teller sat up and said to the river; "Rude, see that Lao Tzu is done with business, and then I will settle accounts with you."
Jin Wansheng didn't understand, and the blind man said again; "You, a young boy, are a bit of a fate, let me ask you, some time ago, you went to that peach blossom paradise and had a skin-to-skin relationship with Miss A Tao, do you want to go again and marry her back as a wife."
The sudden topic made Jin Wansheng unprepared, and after a long time, he figured out that this was a turtle, how could he hide anything from him, but it was not too late to ask first to understand it, because Ah Tao told him that he would not be able to pick her up until three years later, and he didn't know what the purpose of this turtle was.
Thinking of this, Jin Wansheng paddled the boat a few times, looked at the two boats that were pulled down by him behind, and asked thoughtfully; "How did the gentleman find out about this?"
The blind fortune teller said; "Look closely, who am I?"
Jin Wansheng looked closely, the blind man who was still a fortune teller just now had turned into a turtle-like face, a black beard that was unkempt and tangled, a big mouth that opened to the cheeks, and the white Sensen's teeth that were exposed, a short figure, and a broad back, who was not the person who led him to the Peach Blossom Garden that day.
Jin Wansheng was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and only said after a while; "Why did the gentleman lead me to that place?"
The blind fortune teller said; "It's the blessings you cultivated in your previous life, and you will be rewarded in this life."
Jin Wansheng said; "I met Miss Ah Tao, and she was willing to marry me."
The blind fortune teller said; "She couldn't ask for it."
Jin Wansheng asked; "How so?"
The blind fortune teller said; "Heaven must not be divulged."
Jin Wansheng knew that it would be useless to ask again, so he asked instead; "Can I find my father, who has been missing for three years?"
The blind fortune teller said; "On the edge of the island, in the deep pool, you can't fish now."
Jin Wansheng was confused, and the blind fortune teller continued; "Hu Atao has a three-year appointment with you, that's just her wishful thinking, I'm afraid that when that time comes, there will be changes, and the will of heaven is unpredictable, and the will of heaven is unpredictable. On that day, her ancestor blamed her for leaking the secret of heaven and punished her, but unexpectedly, the will of heaven made you a blessing in disguise, I asked you, that night, she spit blood in her mouth, did it spray to your heart. ”
Jin Wansheng replied; "Seems to be."
The fortune teller said; "What like, it's simply, you lift your clothes and see if there is a blood-red mark on your heart?"
Jin Wansheng stopped the oars, lifted his clothes, and a bright red mark immediately appeared in his heart, and after Jin Wansheng saw it, he said very calmly; "This blood-red mark came from that day and night"
The fortune teller said; "You are very trustworthy, Miss Tao didn't misunderstand you, but I tell you, the mark of your heart will disappear in three days."
Jin Wansheng was curious and asked; "Why?
The blind fortune teller said; "Because you are a mortal, you will have to correspond to the celestial phenomena in three days, and that red mark will appear on your chest.
Jin Wansheng was secretly surprised, and asked again unconsciously; "What kind of celestial phenomenon does it have to correspond to?"
The blind fortune teller said; "It doesn't hurt to tell you, remember, it won't appear until the fifteenth day of each month, on the night of the full moon, when the jade rabbit in the Guanghan Palace is pounding medicine."
Ah Sheng asked; "It's daytime, and it's not fifteen, why did that blood mark appear?"
The blind fortune teller smiled and said; "My old man has a word in advance, and he will verify it in three days."
Jin Wansheng shook his head, and the blind fortune teller said; "Although you don't believe it, but I, but I can also tell you a heavenly opportunity, fifteen nights, colorful clouds flying, jade plate hanging, the tide rises, if there is a blood mark in your heart, you can drive a boat to make the tide on the river, then you may see a peach girl, if you go to the place, but you can't see it, you can report to the official, just say that the Wuling people have found the peach blossom source, and then maybe you can wake up the peach girl."
Ah Sheng was shocked when he heard this, and asked; "Is Miss Tao still in a coma?"
The fortune teller said; "Idiot, think about the scene of that day yourself, do you still use me to repeat it, Miss Ah Tao spat blood from her mouth, and pushed you to the entrance of the cave with all her might, so that you have survived, what do you think she will be like?"
Jin Wansheng was very sad when he heard the words of the blind fortune teller, and he said loudly to the blind fortune teller; "I want to be a dignified man, treading the waves, turning over the river and the sea, frowning there, don't destroy Miss Atao, I want to save her."
After listening to Jin Wansheng's words, the blind fortune teller with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, and two rays of light shot out, and he said something in a word; "Good boy, have guts, have courage, but these alone are not enough, do you still want to listen to me?
After the blind fortune teller opened his eyes, he changed his tone just now, as if he was discussing things with Jin Wansheng, Jin Wansheng was grateful for a while, and hurriedly said; "I hope Mr. will teach me."
The blind fortune teller didn't hesitate, he asked Jin Wansheng to squat down, put his mouth to his ear, and blew lightly, suddenly, a cool breath directly entered his mind, and then, there was a warm current, little by little into Jin Wansheng's heart, and finally, little by little, it turned into a small voice; "Remember my words, when the fifteenth moon is full, the tide is at the head of the waves, and when the waves arrive, the oars will fly to the edge of the sky."
As soon as the words that seemed to be delicate and warm-streamed were said here, I heard Zhao Ada's voice faintly coming from behind; "Brother Ah Sheng, where is this?"
When Jin Wansheng heard this, he got up and looked, there was a thick fog on the river, and there was no one on the other side, so Jin Wansheng had to shout; "I'm here."
As the words fell, he heard a puff, and then saw that his ship was empty, and there was still the shadow of the turtle.
The river was foggy, the waves in the river were rolling, the small boat was swaying left and right, all of which were not as stable as just now. "Big brother, Brother Ngawang, where are you?"
The sound of the wind and the sound of the waves drowned out the shouting of Jin Wansheng, with memory, Ah Sheng rowed forward hard, half a day passed, and finally in the thick fog, he saw the shadow of a small boat, Jin Wansheng was overjoyed, and immediately shouted; "Is it Ah Da or Ah Wang?"
After shouting, Jin Wansheng danced his arms and rowed all the way towards the boat, the two boats were about to meet together, Jin Wansheng saw clearly that the person rowing on the opposite side was Zhao Ada, he asked loudly; "Where's Brother Ngawang?"
Zhao Ah shouted; "It was behind me just now."
Jin Wansheng stabilized the boat, looked into the distance, another boat appeared in the dense fog, and the three boats began to drive side by side on the wide river, Jin Wansheng shouted to Zhao A; "It's foggy on the river, don't go home, stay at my house tonight."
Zhao Ah raised his head after hearing this, and was about to shout at Jin Wansheng, but suddenly saw that the dense fog on the river surface had become thinner little by little, and immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say, and shouted instead; "Brother Ah Sheng, you see, the fog has thinned."
Zhang Youwang took it and shouted; "It's strange in a flash, this fog is sudden, and it disappears quickly."
When the words fell, Zhao Arda rowed to the side of Jin Wansheng's boat, probed in, and asked; "What about the man of God?"
Jin Wansheng replied truthfully; "When the fog was at its thickest, I heard a pop, and the people were gone."
Zhao Adaa said; "Is it because the boat is bumping, he is drunk again, his body is unstable, and he accidentally fell into the river."
Jin Wansheng couldn't tell him everything he knew, and he couldn't hide it from his good friends, so he shook his head and said loudly and ambiguously; "I don't think so, there are a lot of mysteries in this."
After speaking, Jin Wansheng was silent.
Zhao Ada, how could he not see the magic and weirdness of the blind fortune teller, just now he just asked knowingly, at this time, he saw that Jin Wansheng no longer spoke, and hurriedly rowed a few times, and after approaching Jin Wansheng's boat, he told Jin Wansheng again; "Brother Asheng, I won't go to your house tonight, now that the dense fog on the river has disappeared, I will take advantage of the calm and calm to go home to dry fishing nets."
Jin Wansheng nodded after hearing this, and then looked at the river, sure enough, the thick fog dissipated, he looked in the direction of his home, and he had already seen three houses near the river in the distance, which were the homes of him and Zhang Youwang's brothers. "Ah Sheng, it's home, let's paddle slowly."
Zhao Ada, who had already rowed to the front, turned around and joked with Zhang Youwang; "Brother Ngawang, I sold a lot of money today, and after handing it over to that mother-in-law, you have to be careful of your body and bones tonight."
Zhang Youwang hehehele said; "It's okay, if not, I'll pretend to be asleep."
Without waiting for Zhang Youwang to finish speaking, Zhao Ah roared loudly and drove away.
Jin Wansheng and Ngawang rowed a small boat, and when they arrived at the shore, the red sun had just rolled down the mountain, and the two of them got off the boat, dragged the boat to the shore, and tied the cable to the old banyan tree that several people couldn't hug, and then whistled and returned home.
