Chapter III

"How could it be Zhengzhou Mansion?" Zhang San'er didn't believe that he was still fishing in Lihua Village just now, and how could he arrive in Zhengzhou Fucheng, thousands of miles away, in a blink of an eye. "Is it really Zhengzhou Mansion?"

Shen Xiaohua stopped crying and said, "This is indeed Zhengzhou Mansion." My house is not far from the river. ”

"Zhengzhou Mansion, Zhengzhou Mansion...... Zhang San'er muttered to himself. I thought about my way carefully, but in just one or two hours, how could I travel thousands of miles in a short time. What is the truth of this, Zhang San'er is not good at thinking, and his little head is a little confused. looked at the river in front of him in a daze.

Shen Xiaohua shouted timidly: "Third brother, what's wrong with you" The young girl didn't really want to die, and her attention quickly shifted to Zhang San'er.

After screaming a few times, Zhang San'er came back to his senses and said casually: "Oh, I'm fine." Then he asked, "Girl, why did you commit suicide by jumping into the river?" ”

This is a very old story, the parents died young, and entrusted their daughter to the uncle, who did not do his job, smoked a lot of cigarettes and played dramas, and soon lost all his family wealth, and was mad to sell his niece to a brothel.

"Damn, my niece is going to be pitted, it's really damned." Zhang San'er was resentful, the children in the township told stories every day, and what they heard the most was loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, etiquette, righteousness, and shame, full of a sense of justice, where could they tolerate such an ugly story in their hearts. opened his mouth and said: "Xiaohua, don't die, there is no one in your family, come home with me." My mother and I will definitely treat you well. ”

Shen Xiaohua looked up at Zhang San'er's pure eyes, full of simple care, choked and nodded. (This is also the beginning, if Zhang San'er is now afraid that he has been regarded as a pervert by Shen Xiaohua, not to mention that he will have to turn his household registration into a rural one).

But in a blink of an eye, Zhang San'er became depressed, and he didn't know how far he would go home here, so he walked to the boat while thinking.

The two got on the boat, and Zhang San'er looked at the snowflakes in the sky and was worried. Shen Xiaohua was surprised when she saw many carp in the cabin: "Third brother, you are so good, you have caught so many fish." Zhang San'er lowered his head and looked down at the red carp in the cabin, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Young and without worry, the two decided to sell the fish first and then row back. Shen Xiaohua knew that there was a wharf nearby, and as soon as the two of them parked the boat at the wharf, many people immediately surrounded them, and the fish quickly came out, and the price was several times higher than that of Lihua Village.

Zhang San'er prepared some daily necessities and returned to the ship. Shen Xiaohua is the daughter of a merchant, she doesn't know how to make a living from a fisherman's land, she feels novel when she sees anything, and when she asks this and that, Zhang San'er's sorrow has been diluted a lot.

Zhang San'er had already asked the way back, raised the oars and rocked the oars, ready to row home quickly. Today is smooth sailing, and the distance is not as thousand miles of waterway as he thought, but the waterway in Erbaili, you can get home in one day at most, and the boat is very fast, plus Zhang San'er is like an arrow, and he does his best. It's even faster.

Shen Xiaohua took a boat for the first time, and the wind on the river was even stronger, although her clothes were thin, she often helped Zhang San'er row twice, and she couldn't help sweating. I didn't feel cold, I was very excited, Zhang San'er looked at Shen Xiaohua on the boat, somehow her face was a little feverish, but she felt strong when she rowed the boat. Shen Xiaohua looked at the scenery on both sides. Suddenly said strangely: "Third brother, no, we have been gone for so long, why did we get here again?" ”

"Why, you're wrong." Zhang San'er can't see people yet, how can he notice anything else. After listening to what Shen Xiaohua said, she began to pay attention to the scenery on both sides of the river.

It's okay not to look at it, but this look was suddenly shocked, and after a bag of cigarettes was laboriously rowed, it really returned to the starting point in the blink of an eye. Although the river bank was covered with snow, what could be wrong with seeing the same thatched hut all the time, and a terrible folklore immediately came to his mind, could it be that he had been rowing around the river ,,, himself??? Today's situation is clearly a ghost hitting the wall, hurriedly looked back, only to see the road is gray, nothing can be seen, and when I turn my head to look ahead, it is also gray. The small fishing boat was trapped in the river, and Zhang San'er was so frightened that the oar in his hand fell on the bow of the boat, and there was a loud bang. He stopped, but the fishing boat was wandering around the river on its own.

Zhang San'er started to operate the boat at the age of five, and he is probably more familiar with this ship than his own body, and the technique of sailing the boat is not much worse even if he is an old handle, and the direction will definitely not be wrong. But today's situation is the first time I have encountered it, how similar it is to the ghost hitting the wall in folklore, Zhang San'er is really scared, his feet are a little weak, and he trembles.

Today is indeed strange, first the river is full of dead fish, so cold days, all of them stink overnight. Then he was pointed out by a voice, sprinkled with two net red carp, and then he went to Zhengzhou Mansion inexplicably. Zhang San'er thought of everything together at this time, and he didn't think that he really encountered something dirty.

I think of the voice that taught me to fish. The appearance was too weird, you must know that Zhang San'er also looked around at that time, and he didn't see anyone from anywhere, it must not be the nearby villagers joking with him. Could it really be ...... With a ghost...... When Zhang San'er thought of this, he only felt that the wind was gusting on the river, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him coldly behind him......

I was afraid that Zhang San'er picked up the oar, rowed hard, wanted to go more anxiously, and carefully controlled the boat, but the boat would not control every time it reached that bend, and it spun faster on the river, so that he threw the oar aside and squatted on the boat. The boat, which was not rowed by anyone, was still floating leisurely on the river. There is no intention of stopping.

Shen Xiaohua saw that the third brother's face turned pale and screamed a few times, but Zhang San'er couldn't hear it at all.

Shen Xiaohua suddenly saw Zhang San'er kneeling on the boat and shouting to the sky: "Daxian spares his life, Daxian spares his life, Xiao San'er offended your old man today, you have a lot of adults, spare me, there is still an old mother waiting in the hospital bed in the villain's house." Shen Xiaohua came over to help, but Zhang San'er shook her head with red eyes and asked her to wait aside.

Zhang San'er knelt for a long time, and when he saw that the man didn't respond, he continued: "If Xiao San'er doesn't go back early, the old mother won't be able to live." Two lives, you always raise your noble hand and let me go. After saying that, he kowtowed. The door of the head was broken and blood came out, and it was still knocking hard.

It took a long time to hear the voice sounding in the air: "Little third brother, I helped you catch fish, you seem to have forgotten what you promised me?" You said you were going to invite me to your house."

"When did I say that?" Zhang San'er didn't have this request in his impression, but he didn't dare to refute it, this voice could make a boat ghost hit the wall, which was definitely much stronger than the legends in the village. I stumbled between words, as if I had really said this.

The voice said, "It's your blessing to be willing to go to your house, so you can kowtow and thank God, hum." Zhang San'er remembered the legend of his hometown, this thing entered the house, and without exception, the family was ruined. None of them seem to end well. How good is today.

After thinking about it for a long time, I knew that if I didn't agree to its request today, I wouldn't be able to go home alive. Now he is still talking about passing this level first, and after a moment of silence, Zhang San'er said loudly: "Since your old man wants to go to my house, then come with me?" ”

The voice said angrily: "Zhangzui, what is my identity, you dare to talk to me like this, if I hadn't been injured...... Later, his words were lowered. Never hear again.

Zhang San'er was young and vigorous, and blurted out angrily: "What do you want? The voice snorted coldly. This is your punishment for your rudeness to me". As soon as the words fell, Zhang San'er felt a gust of wind suddenly reach his cheeks and slapped him loudly. As soon as his feet were weak, he fell on the boat, and half of his face was swollen and high. Squatted down with his hands covered, unable to speak for a long time. His eyes were full of fear.

But the man also said, "It seems that you are not convinced......"

Shen Xiaohua finally understood the beginning and the end, her small body stood in front of Zhang San'er, and she looked at the sky calmly and asked lightly:

"Although I don't know who your old man is, but you are a person with great ability, why bother my third brother, if you have any requirements, please just say, as long as you can do it, the third brother will definitely do it." At a young age, Shen Xiaohua's voice was clear, and her speech was far less weak than just now.

The voice 'huh', Shen Xiaohua only felt as if her body had been crossed by something, and she still stood still calm and tenacious. I heard the man say: "After you go back, vacate the hall for my old man's house, offer incense, incense all year round, without my permission, you must not disturb at will, and the Zhang family will avoid me everywhere in the future." Can you do that? ”

"Yes...... Yes...... Yes. Hearing what this person said, Zhang San'er nodded busily in agreement. At this time, I was afraid mixed with worry, and I couldn't help but say no, after being fanned, my face was swollen and almost transparent, and a trace of cool air seeped in from my pores, as if it was about to be cut.

"I promised so quickly, if I can't do it, I won't show mercy." The voice said coldly. is completely gone, and the good sound that began to tempt Zhang San'er is gone. After a pause, he said: "Well, I can't wait, since you have agreed, I am not afraid that you will regret it." Let's go back. ”

Zhang San'er said in his heart: "I can't take an unknown thing home, I must first see its true face." Thinking of this, he said, "Since the old man wants to go home with us, please come on the boat." It's also good to save some effort. ”

The voice snorted again, and said lightly: "Don't want to know who I am, put away your careful thoughts, don't worry about me, I can naturally follow you, let's go." After saying that, there was no trace of it, and the sky seemed to suddenly open up, revealing a sky full of snowflakes. The snow was falling harder......

Zhang San'er's mind was seen through by it, and he didn't dare to say much, standing at the stern of the boat, rocking his head with a sullen head. This concentration, the ship is fast. Shen Xiaohua saw the third brother rowing with his head bored, and wanted to step forward to explain, but thinking that there was an unfathomable existence on this boat, standing terrifyingly beside him, the boat seemed to have a barrier, and even the northwest wind was blocked out. The person who pressed had no intention of speaking. I opened my mouth a few times and finally didn't say anything, so I found a board and sat down.
