Zhou Cheng is busy.

The people here get up before dawn to cook, and after breakfast, they go to the logging and come back to make boats.

Zhang Xiaolei had never seen anyone build a ship, so he came to the shore early in the morning to watch these carpenters build ships.

A shipbuilder saw Zhang Xiaolei, he came to Zhang Xiaolei's side with a smile and asked, "Is Mr. Zhang okay today?" ”

"It's okay for the time being, wait for Liu Yan's ......announcement," Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile, "I happened to be curious about shipbuilding, so I wanted to come and see it." ”

The shipbuilder said: "Shipbuilding is a ...... science"

Zhang Xiaolei interrupted him: "You don't have to tell me, I just want to watch the excitement and pass the time." ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaolei didn't look interested, the shipbuilder nodded and went back to work.

At this time, Yiliuyan also came to the shore with people, she saw Zhang Xiaolei and beckoned to him: "Come here." ”

Zhang Xiaolei came to Yiliuyan's side and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I'm going to survey the terrain today, you go with them......" Yi Liuyan said, "Look carefully, if there is any mistake, ask you." ”

Zhang Xiaolei said helplessly: "I said...... There's no need to make a face at me, right? It's a big deal, I'm breaking up with you, what are you doing in front of me? ”

Yiliu Yan said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, go quickly!" ”

Zhang Xiaolei rolled his eyes, and he didn't want to worry about Yiliuyan.

Anyway, he didn't really want to partner with Yiliuyan.

He just wanted to see what Li Fengwu was going to do here.

Zhang Xiaolei knew very well that Li Fengwu had only been here for a month, and now Yi Liuyan had been found.

This is clearly Li Fengwu deliberately released the news, maybe he just wanted to wait for Liu Yan to come, or maybe he was waiting for someone else.

Such a weird Li Fengwu made him can't help but want to investigate.

At this time, those people took Zhang Xiaolei to the water's edge, pointed to a boat in front of them and said, "Go up." ”

Zhang Xiaolei got on the boat, and people also got on the boat in turn.

The last one to come up was a middle-aged man shirtless.

He seems to be a boatman, but he doesn't look like a boatman.

Because the people on the ship have great respect for him.

Zhang Xiaolei was a little puzzled, and asked a person next to him, "Is this water?" ”

"River owls."

"River owls? What is that? ”

"It's a corpse digger, but it's not a corpse digger. There are many people drowning in the Yangtze River every year, and the river owl is familiar with the two worlds of yin and yang, and it is a lot of help to bring him. ”

Zhang Xiaolei suddenly realized that he was walking the Yangtze River.

Zhang Xiaolei doesn't know exactly what this industry depends on.

After the journey, the river owl did not row, but found a place to sit, and there was another person rowing.

Zhang Xiaolei curiously walked to the side of the river owl, only to see that his hair was long and waist-length, with braids, a lot of scars on his body, and his muscles looked quite strong.

In his hand, he also held a long whip.

Zhang Xiaolei took a closer look and found that this was not an ordinary whip.

At least the material is different.

It appeared to be hair, tied with red rope, and a copper coin tied to it.

He was curious: "What do you call the master?" ”

The river owl is a very enthusiastic person: "Qian Shanhe." ”

"The master's name is atmospheric."

"It's over, my father is a river owl, and he knows that I will eat this bowl of rice in the future, so he gave it a name, hoping to stop this life."

Zhang Xiaolei asked, "What is in the master's hand?" ”

Qian Shanhe picked up the whip-like thing and said with a smile: "This is a ghost whip." ”

"Whipping?"

"It is made of the hair of the previous generation of river owls, first put the hair in the black dog's blood to soak, and every seven days to change the black dog's blood, soak for seven hundred and forty-nine days. This ghost whip down, and ordinary little ghosts will be scattered. ”

Zhang Xiaolei suddenly realized, he was curious: "Master, is there really a ghost?" ”

Qian Shanhe said with a smile: "You think there is, you think there is none, you don't think there is." ”

"What does the master do for a living?"

"Scoop up the corpse, save the boat."

Zhang Xiaolei was a little puzzled when he heard it.

He understood the meaning of this corpse.

But what does it mean to save a ship?

He hadn't heard of it.

At this time, a man walked up to Zhang Xiaolei and said, "You don't know Master Qian's ability, he is the most famous river lord in this area." A few years ago, there was a fleet of ships that took care of him, but halfway through the swim, the big ship couldn't move, guess what? ”

"How?"

At that time, the water was urgent, and no one dared to go into the water, so Master Qian jumped directly. He dived under the boat and saw the floating corpse of a pregnant woman. The corpse was stuck to the bottom of the boat, unable to float or sink, and the resentment was too great, that is, she made the boat unable to move. ”

"And this?" Zhang Xiaolei was surprised, "Then how did you solve it later?" Drag the body out? ”

Qian Shanhe waved his hand and said: "That's definitely not good, I will be dragged into the Yangtze River by her." This floating corpse stops people, usually asking for some sacrifices. I thought at the time, the pregnant woman stopped the boat for the sake of the child. So when I got on the boat, I had people throw a child's longevity lock into the water. ”

"The result?"

"Then the boat moved......," the man said, "and when we looked back, the pregnant woman's body came out of the water, and the longevity lock was hooked right on her ear." ”

Zhang Xiaolei felt a little chill in his back when he heard this, and asked in a low voice, "Then Master Qian, let's set off this time...... It won't be a problem, right? ”

Qian Shanhe shook his head and said: "I can't say, I've been a river owl for 30 years, and I can't eat this Yangtze River." ”

Zhang Xiaolei is really a little scared.

He didn't like these things, he always felt weird.

At this time, the speed of the boat was quite fast, Zhang Xiaolei walked to the bow of the boat, watched the water flow passing, the surrounding scenery retreated, took a deep breath, and finally got better.

"You see, the name of the mountain in front is Phoenix Mountain...... a man said to Zhang Xiaolei, "we are separated from Li Fengwu by this mountain, but when we turn over, we can't see their pier." ”

This man is a person next to Yi Liuyan, named Sun Hu.

He has some admiration for Zhang Xiaolei.

Because he is illiterate, he thinks that people who can read have the ability.

Zhang Xiaolei said: "Li Fengwu's work is mysterious, he won't show the dock like this." Even if he really put a dock, people can't figure out the real thing. Because sometimes it is true, sometimes it is false. ”

"What then?" Sun Hu asked, "Isn't it possible to find out nothing if you return in vain?" ”

Zhang Xiaolei said: "Where is the wharf, in fact, you don't need to look for it, just speculate." ”

"How can you speculate?"

"Judging from the roads, where the roads are smooth and convenient, most of the docks are there. Someone should be sent to scout the road so that Li Fengwu can be found. Since he wants to transport goods, he must be in a hurry to make it convenient, is it difficult to take a rugged mountain road? ”

Sun Hu thought for a moment and nodded: "Mr. Zhang is right. ”

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Be careful, there are floating corpses!" ”
