Chapter 44 Haiyan River Clearing

On the Panlong River, the river is still turbulent, black and pressing, and there are many whirlpools, as if ready to swallow everything at any time.

The Shentai ferry on the south bank of the Panlong River has long been devoid of officers and soldiers, and there are no ferries, only more and more people are thinking about crossing the river, standing on the shore at the mouth of the towing family, looking at the people on the other side.

The military flag of the Chunshan Army was in the mist, and it became the thoughts of many people at this moment.

Now that the rain has stopped, it has stopped for three whole days, and the long-lost sun hangs in the sky, looking so unreal, as if I don't know when, the sun will be hidden by dark clouds and heavy rain again.

Especially since yesterday afternoon, there was a sudden fog, and although the fog is not thick today, it shows no signs of dissipating.

The people, who were already nervous, became nervous again, believing that this was a sign that the rain would hit again, so the atmosphere at the ferry crossing was even more unpeaceful.

"Why haven't you seen it yet?" Someone in the crowd said, "Does the court want to starve us to death?" ”

"Isn't the Chunshan Army very powerful? Why didn't you come to save us? ”

"The ship was capsized, just a few days ago."

"We're going to die, we're all going to die here." Someone else said.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, and the court is unkind!"

More and more voices spread among those who had shaved their lives in the disaster, and the crowd became more and more agitated.

Is that so? People look at the scene on the other side, and the anger of distrust and abandonment grows stronger.

"Childe, what should I do?" Lin Heng's carriage stopped outside the crowd, and Ding'er asked rather uneasily as she listened to these voices.

Lin Heng sat on the side of the car, looking up at the sun behind the fog.

"It's not going to rain anymore." He spoke.

"Huh? But even if it doesn't rain anymore, looking at the appearance of these people, I'm afraid that the people will not be far away. Ding'er said.

Lin Heng shook his head: "As long as it doesn't rain, the people will have the last bit of hope in their hearts, and there will be no civil change." ”

"But look at this river, you can't cross the river without rain."

"There's Xie Houye."

“…… This scene, even Xie Hou can't get by, and Xie Hou Ye is not good at water warfare, doesn't it mean that the boats have been overturned? ”

"Get by," Lin Heng said, "that's Xie Chunshan." ”

He said this calmly, but with deep firmness, he thought for a while and added: "Besides, isn't there Miss Xie?" There are auspicious signs, which must be able to soothe people's hearts. ”

Ding'er thought about the eldest lady who didn't like to talk, and craned her neck to the west: "Why haven't you come yet?" Do turtles swim that slow? ”

“…… That's the Spirit Turtle, watch your words. ”

......: "That's a turtle too."

It's just that Ding'er didn't dare to say this sentence in his heart.

While the master and servant were talking, they suddenly heard someone on the shore shouting, "Emperor Bodhisattva, that, what is that!" ”

At this time, everyone by the river was already afraid, but suddenly they heard someone say this in a trembling voice, and thought something was wrong.

For a moment, there was silence on the riverside as if no one was there.

What else will be on the river? Vortex? Great waves? Are they all going to die?

A shadow moved slowly in the mist, like a hill.

What is that...... Monsters?

Suddenly, there was a depressing atmosphere, there were timid people sitting on the ground, convulsing and waiting for an unknown disaster, and there were also children crying out.

The shadows are approaching, and the outlines are becoming more and more obvious, but no one dares to recognize them.

Suddenly, a child's voice sounded: "Big turtle! Mother, Da Wu-" Before the words fell, someone covered his mouth and was not allowed to say more.

Where in the world is there a turtle so big?

But more and more people saw the giant beast that appeared on the surface of the river, and although they didn't say it, they were thinking about it in their hearts...... That's true...... It's a ...... Turtles.

It's so big that it looks like a turtle that can swallow a town in one bite.

Are they really going to die?

Another child's voice sounded, this time it was a girl's voice, timid, and crying: "Someone, ......"

Someone covered his mouth again.

Where did the people come from? It's a turtle! Someone looked at the little girl dissatisfied, thinking that she was scared stupid.

But more and more people shouted: "Someone! Someone! ”

Someone, really someone, on the back of the turtle, were two girls - although they were both wearing ill-fitting men's green shirts, they could still be seen to be two young girls.

"That's ......" The sergeant on the north side of the river saw it clearly, and exclaimed, "Miss?!" ”

……

Xie Xiaoyu stood on the back of the spirit turtle, the remnant jade had already cut his fingers, and the bloody hand was against the neck of the spirit turtle.

She could feel the old age of the spirit turtle, older than the dragon had lived.

When Brother *******, who was about to run out of oil, summoned the spirit turtle, it saw itself at a glance, and in its dim eyes, the light that had traveled through tens of thousands of years flashed.

Although she didn't hold the remnant jade at that time, she was sure that the spirit turtle let out a sigh at her.

The vicissitudes of life are long, I don't know whether it is compassion or sighing.

Do you want to say anything to me? At this moment, standing on the back of the spirit turtle, she asked.

The spirit turtle only moved forward silently until it stopped at the Shentai Ferry, and its gaze swept over the crowd, but Xie Xiaoyu knew that it was not looking at the crowd, but the river god who had long been returned to heaven and earth.

She became a god here, sat here, and left this spirit turtle alone in the Panlong River for tens of thousands of years.

…… Heavenly Dao? Rely on you? The spirit turtle said.

Is that sentence again? Xie Xiaoyu thought about it, looking up at the gaze that moved towards the spirit turtle, still with a calm and expressionless look:

Rely on me, why not?

The ...... turtle stopped talking, but bent down its long neck and pressed its forehead against hers.

Tens of thousands of years of memories were poured into Xie Xiaoyu's mind, causing her blood to surge and almost spurt out a mouthful of blood.

Surprisingly, though, she was still sane.

Is it because you got two pieces of jade? Xie Xiaoyu coughed and thought to himself.

Go ahead. The Spirit Tortoise straightened its head again and began to turn slowly and with difficulty.

The people on the shore, including Xie Chunshan, who arrived later, watched in amazement.

"Master Hou! Look at the river! The adjutant said suddenly.

Xie Chunshan found out that there was a ...... on the surface of the river It's calm.

Calmly, only the river flowed eastward, as if the surface of the river, which had hidden its destructive power a few quarters of an hour ago, was just an illusion on their part.

More and more people noticed the changes in the river, and whispers were everywhere.

Suddenly, someone on the south bank of the Yangtze River shouted: "The spirit turtle is in the world, and the Haiyan River is clear." ”

Eight words, in the quiet crowd, are exceptionally clear.

As soon as Ding'er heard this voice, he immediately looked for it, and whispered in his mouth: "Childe, it's that Young Master Ying." ”

Lin Heng also looked over and saw Ying Wuwei hiding in the crowd with a hat.

Lin Heng smiled and said loudly: "It's the spirit turtle that has appeared, and this catastrophe has finally passed." ”
