Five hundred dollars is not a lot. However, as long as you tell a story, you can get the money, and the innkeeper is also immediately happy. I couldn't help but grab the money in my hand. Then, he said to us, "I really wondered where you came from?" However, now that you are so generous, I believe you. You must be the big bosses who come here to invest! ”

After listening to him, I didn't say anything, but said to him directly, "Then tell us about what else is new here, shall we?" ”

The innkeeper nodded. Then, he said to me, "Brother, have you heard of Zhaojiazhuang?" ”

As soon as we heard the three words of Zhaojiazhuang, the eyes of the three of us couldn't help but light up! The place we are going to this time is Zhaojiazhuang. It's just that I've just arrived here, and I haven't figured out how to get there. As a result, this time I heard the innkeeper mention these three words by mistake.

I looked at the second uncle and the heavenly maiden, then shook my head and said, "I haven't heard of this Zhaojiazhuang, what's wrong?" What's different? ”

When the innkeeper heard me, he said to me, "You're just here with me." If it's really out of my hotel, don't talk nonsense. There is a rumor here that Zhaojiazhuang is not human. Or that they are not living at all! ”

As soon as I heard this, I was interested. couldn't help but ask him: "You said that the people in Zhaojiazhuang are not alive?" So, are they all dead? ”

Hearing this, the innkeeper shook his head and said to us, "They are not dead people, but a kind of non-human and non-ghost existence. It is said that in Zhaojiazhuang, if a child has just been born, the first thing the people in the family do is not to be happy, but to directly hold the child to the Yangtze River. Then, he threw the child into the Yangtze River. ”

Suddenly hearing the innkeeper say such a thing, I couldn't help but be stunned! So, I couldn't help but ask the innkeeper, "Why are they doing this?" If you don't like children, you don't want to. ”

After listening to my words, the second uncle shook his head slightly at me and said, "Don't worry, he must not have finished speaking!" ”

Hearing the second uncle say this, the innkeeper couldn't help but stare at the second uncle differently. Only then couldn't help but look at the second uncle in awe: "It seems that this gentleman must know something, and he can actually understand that this matter is not over at once." ”

At this point, the innkeeper continued to tell us.

After throwing the child into the river, the family would turn around and go home as if nothing happened. I didn't even look back on the way. When they return home, they will hold a banquet and invite the entire Zhaojiazhuang to come over and drink. The whole banquet was lively.

Although all the people of Zhaojiazhuang understood what had happened before they came. Still, it's as if nothing happened. Continue to talk and laugh here.

In this way, the time of the day will pass with their laughter.

When it is almost dark, all the people from Zhaojiazhuang who came to drink will go home. Then, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and they did not even dare to turn on the lights.

And only the person who held the banquet was brightly lit, and the doors and windows were wide open.

By the time everyone in their family falls asleep, a very large whirlpool will appear in the Yangtze River. Then, a figure slowly rose from the whirlpool. That's the kid who was thrown into the river before!

After the child swam out of the river, he crawled all the way back to his home.

After the next morning, the family continued to live with their children as if nothing had happened. And every person in Zhaojiazhuang will experience such a thing once when they are born. Therefore, there is a rumor here that the people of Zhaojiazhuang are not people, they are all living dead.

Hearing this, I am very interested in the people of Zhaojiazhuang! So, I couldn't help but ask the innkeeper: "Since you all know the situation in Zhaojiazhuang." So, did anyone call the police and go to their village to check? ”

Hearing my words, the innkeeper waved his hand and said, "You don't know, we don't have anything yet. However, in a rural area like Zhaojiazhuang, it is very difficult to find a ferryman. Moreover, not everyone who is able to row is called a ferryman. The so-called ferryman must know something that others do not know. Only in this way can he save his life in the Yangtze River at a critical time, and the Yangtze River is menacing. Once you don't have time to spot the undercurrents under the water. Then, it will definitely end up being a dead ship. More importantly, the ferryman industry is not only to have an understanding of the situation in the Yangtze River, but also to have a very keen response ability. More importantly, there must be something that others don't know in the ferryman......"

"Something you don't know? What is that? ”

I couldn't help but interrupt him and asked.

Because I can feel the connection between his phrase "what others don't know" and what we know.

After hearing my question, the innkeeper waved his hand and took a sip of tea. Only then did he begin to tell us again: "Our Yangtze River, like the Yellow River, has given birth to countless dawn people on both sides of the Yangtze River. Moreover, there are many things in the Yangtze River that we have not seen or even heard. Some people once predicted that there were even more dead people buried in the Yangtze River than there were living people on both sides of the Yangtze River! Therefore, countless strange incidents have occurred on the surface of the Yangtze River or on both sides of the Yangtze River. Moreover, the water of the Yangtze River is also full of spirituality. Legend has it that there are still some things in the Yangtze River that people can't see. That's the water ghost! According to the old man, every time the waves on the surface of the Yangtze River are churning, there is a water ghost poking his head out of the Yangtze River to find his substitute. Moreover, not all people can cross the Yangtze River. For example, those who are physically weak, or those who are in poor health. If you insist on crossing the river, you are likely to die! And at this time, a ferryman is needed to help them cross the river. ”

Hearing this, the second uncle nodded. said: "The whistle of the Yellow River, the ferryman of the Yangtze River!" They have different names though. However, everything is done in much the same way! It should be from a sect! It is also not known who is whose branch. ”

After hearing the second uncle's emotion, the innkeeper couldn't help but be shocked again! Then, he asked my second uncle, "Who are you, this gentleman?" Why does it always feel so unfathomable to me? ”

Listening to the other person's words, I smiled. Then, he said to him, "This is my second uncle." I was an expert in researching this. This time I want to come over and invest in business. So, just ask him to come over and take a look at it for me! ”

After listening to my words, the innkeeper nodded his head to indicate that he understood.

I couldn't help but ask him: "Big brother, you have been telling us for so long, and you haven't said what the people of Zhaojiazhuang have to do with the Yangtze River." ”

At this point, I paused. Then, he said to him: "Do you want to tell us that the people from Zhaojiazhuang are actually the ferrymen of the Yangtze River?" ”

Suddenly hearing me say that, the innkeeper nodded. said: "That's right, all of them in Zhaojiazhuang are ferrymen!" Moreover, they are different from other ferrymen! According to legend, the people of their Zhaojiazhuang were ferrying. There has never been any special situation. Because, it is rumored that the people in their Zhaojiazhuang are all approved by Jiang Shen. Therefore, the water ghosts in the river did not dare to do anything to them at all. Moreover, the boats used by the people of Zhaojiazhuang are also different from others! I was also fortunate enough to take a ferry boat from Zhaojiazhuang back then. The bow and stern of their ships are each carved with a very strange pattern. It's like some kind of spell. However, it is incomprehensible! It is said that that kind of charm can suppress those water ghosts in the Yangtze River. Moreover, when the ferryman in Zhaojiazhuang ferries, he will light a candle on his own boat. And, strangely, this candle burns normally, regardless of whether it is windy or rainy. It never goes out suddenly! Once the candle is extinguished, no matter where they go on the Yangtze River, they will immediately nod and go back. Even if you arrive at the riverside immediately, you will not hesitate to go back. Directly refuse this business! Because in their opinion, there are some people who are the least liked by the river gods. Therefore, this kind of person will not be able to cross the river no matter what! ”

At this, he paused. Then, not a word. Just staring at us so quietly.

I looked at him and asked, "Finished?" ”

The innkeeper nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

I thought about it. Then, he opened his mouth and said to him, "So, can you tell us how this Zhaojiazhuang should go?" ”

After hearing my question, the innkeeper couldn't help but be stunned! Then, I couldn't help but ask me, "Do you want to go to Zhaojiazhuang?" It's not a place for ordinary people to go. Very wicked! ”

I smiled and said, "This time I came out looking for excitement." Now I am very curious about this Zhaojiazhuang. So, I really want to see what exists in this Zhaojiazhuang. ”

After seeing that I didn't seem to be joking, the innkeeper said to me, "Brother, call me big brother at you, I advise you not to go." Because that place is really not peaceful! Did You Know? I had been to Zhaojiazhuang once before opening a hotel here, and I wanted to learn some ferryman skills from them. However, that time, I almost didn't come out alive! ”
