Chapter 576: The Ferryman
After hearing what the innkeeper said, I became interested. I couldn't help but ask him, "Oh? What's going on? Can you tell us about it? ”
With that, I was ready to take the money out of my pocket.
However, the innkeeper waved his hand at me and said, "Forget it, I'm tired today." I don't want to say any more! Moreover, I can only say so much about Zhaojiazhuang. If you really want to know about Zhaojiazhuang. Well, there's still time to go over and take a look! ”
With that, he got up and left.
Looking at the back of the innkeeper, I couldn't help but frown. My intuition tells me that the person in front of me is definitely not as simple as a small innkeeper! But what secrets are still hidden in him? That's something I can't know!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the second uncle.
The second uncle sighed at this time and said, "Although I don't know if this Zhaojiazhuang is as mysterious as rumored. But now that we're here. Then, be sure to check it out! ”
I nodded, and said nothing more.
And just like that, we had a simple night's rest in the hostel. Early the next morning, we packed up and prepared to go.
The innkeeper was still smiling.
After seeing that we were about to leave, he hurriedly greeted us. He said to us, "How many of you are ready to leave?" Are you going to that Zhaojiazhuang? ”
Listening to his words, I had an idea. Then, he nodded and said to him, "That's right, we just want to go to Zhaojiazhuang to see and see." Big brother, it's fate for us to meet. If you can, can you tell us how this Zhaojiazhuang should go? Rest assured, I won't let you suffer in vain! ”
As I spoke, I took out a wad of RMB from my pocket. Looking at this thickness, there are more than 10,000 to say the least.
Originally, after hearing my question, the innkeeper was going to keep his mouth shut. However, after seeing that I took out so much money at once, I immediately became happy!
It's almost the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the sound of the hotel has become very bleak. It can be said that as long as he earns me more than 10,000 yuan, he can close the hotel now and go home to Maodong.
After weighing the pros and cons, the innkeeper couldn't help but tell us the address of Zhaojiazhuang.
After listening to him, we were going to leave.
However, just as we were about to leave the hotel again, the innkeeper said behind us, "I don't think you're here to invest in the future." Do you want to go to Zhaojiazhuang to dig keel? ”
As soon as we heard this, the three of us were all stunned! Then, he quickly turned his head to look at him.
At this time, the innkeeper seemed to be a different person. The face is no longer that hippie smile, but an unprecedented seriousness and vicissitudes.
Seeing him like this, I immediately understood that the person in front of me was definitely not simple!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked him, "What do you mean by that?" What is Digging Keel? What else do you know? ”
Hearing my question, the innkeeper sneered. Then, he said to us: "No matter what your purpose is in Zhaojiazhuang, for the sake of our relationship, I advise you not to fight their ideas." Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life! ”
After saying this, he directly turned his head and walked inside.
Seeing that he was about to leave, I hurriedly shouted behind him, "Who the hell are you?" ”
However, after hearing my words, the man did not pause. I walked directly into a room, and there was no movement!
I was going to go back to him and ask what he meant by that sentence. The second uncle said to me, "Don't go!" Even if you pass, he won't tell you. If you want to know what went wrong in Chenjiazhuang, let's go over and see for ourselves! ”
After hearing what the second uncle said, I had no choice but to leave here with them.
We took a taxi to a small town, and the customs here are the same as in the city. However, it is slightly poorer than in the city. Although there are also high-rise buildings. However, there are no such buildings.
We made some inquiries around the town and found out where the ferry port was. And then, straight out there.
The owner of the hotel told us that as long as we catch the ferry here, we can go directly to Zhaojiazhuang. So, we took a walk around here and got ready to board a sightseeing boat.
However, when the master who drove the boat learned that we wanted to go to Zhaojiazhuang, he drove us off the boat without saying a word.
I was puzzled by his excesses. So, we couldn't help but try to go to a few other sightseeing boats.
The result is still the same! There are even people who scold and say some nasty things to us!
We don't pay attention to the behavior of such people. It's just not clear what they mean by that.
Just when we were all very puzzled, a kind man came to our side. He asked us, "Are you going to Zhaojiazhuang?" ”
Suddenly hearing this person ask such a sentence, I was slightly stunned, and my heart became vigilant. However, after seeing this person's face, he was quickly relieved!
Although I don't know much about the science of face-to-face, the person in front of me is full of heaven and the earth is round. The eyebrows are wide and the lips are thick, and the eyes are clear. At first glance, it is a warm-hearted appearance! So, I couldn't help but say to him, "Yes! We originally wanted to go to Zhaojiazhuang. But, for some reason, none of the boats seem to want to go there. What the hell is going on? ”
After listening to my questioning, the man said to us, "When I look at you, I know that you are here for the first time. Moreover, those who sail the boat must also know this truth. Otherwise, they would have done it with you! ”
Hearing this, I was even more puzzled! Hurriedly asked: "But, why is this?" We didn't offend them. ”
"Not offended?"
After hearing my words, the man shook his head and said, "You may not know that people here are very taboo about that Zhaojiazhuang. Especially these boats. When they were sailing, the last thing they wanted to hear was Zhaojiazhuang. If you let them take you to that place in front of them, you are asking him to die! Do you think they can not be angry? ”
After listening to this person's words, I still don't understand a little. I couldn't help but say to him, "Big brother, I still don't understand what you're talking about. ”
The man was not in a hurry, but slowly explained to us: "Because it is rumored that Zhaojiazhuang is not a place where people should go." In the past, there were also some people who drove boats who did not believe in evil and took tourists to that place for a walk. However, when they came out again, a boatload of corpses was left. This matter is spread ten, ten by hundred. Now even the police don't dare to go to Zhaojiazhuang. ”
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but speak again: "So, no boat dares to go to Zhaojiazhuang?" ”
The man nodded and said, "Of course!" You go a little further from here. There are some small fishing boats that specialize in ferrying. Don't look at these fishermen as ordinary. However, he dares to go anywhere. And, it's going to be fine! ”
Hearing this, I hurriedly thanked him vigorously.
The man waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I'm just saying a few words casually, and I haven't done anything." ”
Speaking of this, that person suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but ask us: "Did you go to Zhaojiazhuang for the keel?" ”
Suddenly, I heard someone mention the keel in front of my eyes, and I couldn't help but be shocked! Then, he hurriedly asked him: "Big brother, what is this keel?" ”
After seeing that I didn't know why at all, the man also quickly waved his hand. Then, he turned around and left.
Now I don't know what the hell is going on! Why does everyone think of the keel when they hear Zhaojiazhuang? What the hell is this keel?
With a stomach full of doubts, we walked in the direction that the previous person had shown us.
Soon, we saw that not far in front of us, there were indeed some fishing boats docked by the river. It seems that they are the legendary ferrymen on both sides of the Yangtze River.
After seeing this scene, we quickly came to their side. I kept looking at the ferrymen. Only then did I realize that they were actually the same as us, they were just ordinary people, and they didn't have three heads and six arms.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but want to find a fishing boat and prepare to cross the river.
However, at this time, the second uncle stopped me.
I was slightly stunned! Although it is not clear what the second uncle means by this. However, I still knew in my heart that the reason why the second uncle stopped me must be something.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head to the second uncle and ask, "Second uncle, what's wrong?" ”
The second uncle didn't say much, just pointed his chin at me and looked at a fishing boat not far from us.
I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the fishing boat.
At first, I didn't see any problems. Because this fishing boat is the same as any other fishing boat! On top of the fishing boats, there was a fisherman standing there, waiting for a ferry to cross the river. The only difference is that the fisherman on this fishing boat is not like other fishermen, constantly soliciting passing customers. Instead, he just sat there, staring at the river in front of him. For the surrounding together seems to be not paying attention at all!
Seeing this, I felt a little strange!
