CHAPTER XV
The stream was murmuring, gently swaying Jin Wansheng, and the sun was shining, scorching Jin Wansheng in the stream. Jin Wansheng was very hot, he opened his eyes, raised his hand, and wanted to get up from the stream, but helplessly, his strength seemed to be washed away by the stream.
Jin Wansheng was weak, he only opened his mouth and tried to breathe, finally, there was a trace of strength in his body, this bit of strength was enough for him to turn over, he turned over, his face was facing the stream, opened his mouth, and drank the stream water greedily, and drank the stream water for a long time, Jin Wansheng felt that his body had a little strength, he began to sit up from the small canopy, and then, he held on again, and staggered up.
Jin Wansheng has a sense of the end of a hero, the young man standing in the stream, there is still like a hero who treads the waves and splits the waves, but he finally struggled to stand up, looked around, he actually found that his small boat was beside him, sober, never sober, at this moment, Jin Wansheng all understood, he was fooled, he broke his promise, he forgot Miss Tao's advice.
Remorse, late, remedy, too late, resigned to fate, people can't fight the heavens, Jin Wansheng understands the story in the sigh, and knows the desolation in helplessness.
was going to row the boat and leave, but morality reminded him of Zhao Ada, he threw away all his remorse and raised his eyes to look for Zhao Ada, but saw him lying a few feet away, Jin Wansheng struggled to pull out his legs, broke the waves, came to Zhao Ada's side, helped him up from the stream, and woke him up, and then asked; "Ahda, where are we?"
Zhao Adaa blinked and said; "I remember, just now we seemed to be on the edge of a mulberry forest, and suddenly, a hill appeared in front of us, and then a thick fog rose, and I wanted to look for you but couldn't find it, and I called you, but you didn't answer."
Listening to Zhao Ada's words, Jin Wansheng groaned slightly, pressed the surging heart, and said matter-of-factly; "Strange, I remember as if you said, we seem to have walked from this place for a long time before we came to the edge of the mulberry forest, and now we have come back in a daze, how long has it been, you see, the sun is high, the scenery is the same, it is really a strange thing!"
Zhao Adaa said; "It's strange that you're talking nonsense in the lobby, and I don't know what you're thinking."
At this time, Jin Wansheng finally couldn't hold it back, and he said hatefully; "I was told by the county master, which bowl of turtle bastard cactus tea was drunk by me, but unexpectedly, my mind began to be confused, and then, I followed the meaning of their words and started talking nonsense."
Zhao Ada, who was noncommittal, asked again; "There are only two of us here, from my ear in, in my ear, you tell me, is there a peach blossom paradise, have you ever been there?"
Jin Wansheng also figured it out at this time, since the county master knew about it, why did he hide it from his good friend, he nodded very definitely and said; "The Peach Blossom Paradise is nearby, I have not only gone in, but also have an agreement with the people inside, and I must not say it to the people outside, but unfortunately, I fell into the trap of the hateful county order in the lobby."
Zhao Ah was surprised, very surprised, and said continuously; "It's weird, it's weird, you don't talk about it among friends, why do you say it in the lobby?"
Jin Wansheng has long suspected this matter, this time Zhao Ada's question again, he didn't feel that he was thinking darkly, he must have fallen into their trap in the lobby, by the way, it was the bowl of tea, it must be what cactus tea was done by them, at that time, he was very thirsty, regardless of drinking it in one breath, in the past moment, there was a dark fragrance gushing up, and then, his eyes were dark, his heart was muddy, the county chief asked what he answered, there was no sense of precaution, hateful, Jin Wansheng clapped his hands and asked; "Which two are the poor ones?"
Zhao Adaa replied; "I just woke up and haven't seen anyone there yet."
After Zhao Ada's words, Jin Wansheng was puzzled and was about to set off to look for it, but unexpectedly, he saw Zhao Ada's pointing to the boat and saying; "Didn't the two poor men sleep in the boat?"
Jin Wansheng heard the sound and looked again, and sure enough, there were two poor people lying in his boat, so the two of them walked over and woke up the poor people, and with full doubts, Jin Wansheng said to the two poor people; "Brother Messenger, we didn't find the place called Peach Blossom Spring, how is it good, should we continue to look for it, or go back to the errand."
This is Jin Wansheng's intention to test the poor people, without waiting for the two poor people to reply, but heard a few strange movements not far away, and then the stream rose, Zhao Ada's saw this and hurriedly ran to his boat, untied the cable, and rowed the boat to the side of Jin Wansheng's boat, seeing that the stream suddenly soared, the two poor people asked Jin Wansheng; "Brother Late Sheng, are you leading us the right way?"
Jin Wansheng said; "Brother Messenger, you can't be wrong, I came all the way according to the mark I made when I came back."
The messenger asked Jin Wansheng again; "Have you found that peach grove?"
Jin Wansheng replied; "No, I think that mulberry forest should be a peach forest."
The messenger asked again; "How did we get here?"
Jin Wansheng replied; "I had just arrived in front of the hill, and suddenly a thick fog covered everything, and I couldn't find you, and I was anxious, when suddenly there was a thunderclap, and then a bolt of lightning pierced me, and when I woke up, I came back here."
After hearing Jin Wansheng's words, the two messengers immediately said; "Then what are you waiting for, row back quickly, the water will rise in a while, the waves will roll, and we will be able to go back when the wind is high and the waves are urgent?"
Jin Wansheng listened to the words of the two poor people, immediately turned the bow of the boat, rowed back, Zhao Adaa followed closely behind him, rowed for a while, Jin Wansheng deliberately said to the two poor people very worriedly; "How should I tell the county master when I go back!"
The messenger answered; "What else can I do, to be honest, if I don't find it, I haven't found it."
Jin Wansheng then probed; "Is it that everyone has cactus tea to drink when they get to the lobby?"
One of the officers said; "It's so beautiful to you, in that case, wouldn't the county hall have to be full, let me tell you the truth, the two of you are the first one, and the master personally brought it out of it, and if it is someone else, the county master doesn't care whether you are wronged or not, first a meal, and then you can ask, there is still tea to drink."
Listening to the officer's words, Jin Wansheng became more and more alert, he was no longer talking to the officer, and began to think about what to do next, it would not work if he didn't go back, where could he run away, simply, go back to the lobby and say, make up his mind, he won't go to find the Peach Blossom Spring, he insisted that he didn't find it, he just didn't find it, or simply said, somehow, the Peach Blossom Source disappeared, what can he do with me!
Jin Wansheng made up his mind, waved a single oar and rowed forward, in front, the stream was getting wider, and he had reached the unknown river, not far in front of him was the river fork, the sky was getting dark, Jin Wansheng was wondering, why did the sky get dark again, Zhao Adaa came up from behind, rowed side by side with Jin Wansheng, he said to Jin Wansheng; "Brother Ah Sheng, I think we should find a place with light, abandon the boat and go ashore, and wait until the sunrise tomorrow, and then we will row back."
Jin Wansheng asked; "Why did you go so fast today?"
didn't wait for Zhao Adada to say anything, the two messengers on the boat hurriedly said; "It's dark, hurry up and dock, if there is no one, we will find a dry place to make do with the night, it is better than feeding the king of the river."
Zhao Adaa hurriedly took it and said; "Yes, the water monster in the river is very ferocious, specifically in the night of high wind and waves, arch over the fishing boat, swallow the living people, that day, just after dark, I and our village Agui in order to catch a few more net fish, unconsciously rowed the boat to the depths, who expected, just now is still very calm water, suddenly the waves rolled, and then a dragon more than a zhang long appeared, it twisted its body, opened its bloody mouth, and chased another monster with a back like a millstone, the head like a snake's head, flashing two fine lights, I hurriedly rowed the boat away, Agui panicked for a while, I couldn't dodge, his boat was immediately overturned by the huge waves stirred up by the dragon's tail, fortunately I didn't go far, I jumped into the river and fished him up, otherwise it would have been dangerous. ”
Jin Wansheng is familiar with the nature of the water, and knows the danger in the river, if you want to say that he drives a small boat alone, alone in the heart of the river, it is not a problem, I am afraid that there are still Zhao Ada, the three of them, not to mention the wind and waves at night, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be overturned by the wind and waves, and your life is not guaranteed, and those water monsters that often haunt are even more terrifying.
Therefore, without waiting for Zhao Ada's finished speaking, Jin Wansheng began to row the boat to the shore, and when he was about to reach the shore, he aimed at a relatively flat place, rowed the boat to the shore, and then dragged the boat to the shore, Zhao Ada's follow-up also dragged the boat to the shore, at this time, Jin Wansheng asked Zhao Adaa and the two poor people; "Are we going to squat on this shore for the night, or are we going to find someone to borrow for the night?"
Zhao Adada didn't speak first, and the messenger who said that his family lived not far from here said; "It stands to reason that I should be familiar with this place, and I might be able to find a place where there is a home, but since I was inexplicably sent back to the ship, my eyes have not shone, and I can't tell where it is."
As soon as the poor man's voice fell, suddenly, a whining strange wind blew from the fork of the river, the sky was completely dark, and nothing could be seen in the black and dark around, although it was a summer night, but the four people still had a layer of goosebumps on their bodies, fortunately, the two errand soldiers carried waist knives on their waists, and they also took the waist knives off their waists and held them in their hands, after the strange wind, Jin Wansheng looked up at the sky, he wanted to distinguish the southeast and northwest by the starlight, so as to find a village, but unexpectedly the sky was pitch black, The stars are all obscured by dark clouds, Jin Wansheng just wanted to say, it's really not good, let's find a leeward place to make up for a night.
