Chapter 30 The Yellow River Eighteen Rotations
Seeing the spilled water on the ground and the large wooden basin erected at the door, I immediately guessed that Yanli had just taken a bath and wiped herself fragrantly, which was obviously trying to seduce me!
You are interested, I have affection, so what are we polite about! I picked her up in a few steps.
She snuggled up to me shyly, and she was affectionate and affectionate......
I was a little embarrassed to describe what happened that night, but in the end, Yanli still held the last line of defense, saying that she waited until the moment when she unveiled her red hijab before handing over the most precious thing to me.
The next day, Wang Jiliang sent us to the town to take a car, and I took another 50,000 yuan by the way, and gave 20,000 yuan to Wang Jiliang.
I was still worried before, although now I Chen Xiaozhen has eaten dragon eggs, my eyesight, hearing, physical strength, and endurance are very incomparable, but after all, I have never been far away, and I don't know how to take the car or where to get off the car.
But now it's completely worry-free, because of Li Xiaobad.
Li Xiaobai went to the south alone to work when he was a teenager, although he didn't make much money, but his experience and experience have accumulated a stomach, if he didn't stand the boss's bird's anger, he would have stayed in the south a long time ago.
With him I don't have to worry about anything.
We first took a bus to the Dezhou Railway Station, and then took the train directly to the provincial capital Jinan, where we took the express train to the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
It's boring to go all the way, so don't mention it!
When I arrived at the Yinchuan Railway Station in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, it was already three days later in the evening.
I found a restaurant to sit down, asked for a few dishes, and saw that I had 30,000 yuan on me, Li Xiaobai was not polite, and asked for a whole roast leg of lamb first.
I had no appetite at all, so I took out my notebook and carefully looked at the maps and annotations drawn by the antique Lee, wanting to take a closer look.
Although the antique Li has a mediocre geographical knowledge, this map is so detailed that even I, an illiterate person, can recognize it.
Being able to recognize it doesn't mean that you can understand it!
After taking a closer look, I realized that Li Xiaobai and I were a little reckless when we came to Ningxia in a hurry. The entire Helan Mountain is hundreds of miles away, you can't find it meter by meter, right?
I can't understand the picture, and the text of the annotation on the picture also makes my head big. What "along the river, when the waves turn, under the boulders, there is no cave".
This cultural person speaks just fucking around, so can't he be more straightforward?
Li Xiaobai was willing to take care of a leg of mutton, and he ticked to the ground, and he didn't pay attention to me at all.
"Young man, you're not drawing the right map, are you?"
I turned my head to see a hunchbacked, black-faced man standing behind me grinning.
"Are you ......?"
I asked reflexively.
"Me! Hey...... An idle person who usually begs for food with the old mother of the Yellow River! ”
As soon as I heard the tone of this man's voice, I was already a little annoyed, and I turned back and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Hey, hey! Your map seems to be the eighteen rotations of the Yellow River south of Helan Mountain! There aren't many people who dare to go here......"
When I heard it, it was a spirit.
I didn't expect this person to be good-looking, but he could see at a glance that this painting was Helan Mountain, could he understand this picture? It can't be such a coincidence!
"Big ...... Uncle, can you understand this picture? ”
In an instant, my attitude took a 180-degree turn, and I asked with a smile on my face.
The hunchbacked man touched the oil stains on his lips, smiled again, and replied: "I don't dare to say that I can completely understand it, because your picture is a bit weird, but at least you can recognize this place." It's not me bragging, this piece, except for me Chen Laosan, there are really few people who dare to go. ”
Li Xiaobai was eating hard, and when he heard what he said, he said disdainfully: "Don't you dare to go?" Why, there's a man-eating monster out there! ”
"Hey, hey! There may not be man-eating monsters, but there are really a few harmful Yellow River ghosts! ”
Xiao Bad must have said this, and suddenly became excited, put the messy leg of mutton on the table, touched his lips with the back of his hand, and said, "Don't bluff us!" You probably don't know yet! Xiao Zhenye and my bad master both swam in the river, and I haven't seen any stormy waves! ”
"Oh! Am I still blind? ...... are the two? ”
"It doesn't matter where we are, so be it! You...... Your name is Chen Laosan, right? Make a price, Xiao Zhenye and I will hire you as a guide, and also take us to meet this evil ghost of the Yellow River! ”
Chen Xiaobai stood up excitedly in the end.
Although they are all from the same village, Xiaobai is only a few years older than me, and I haven't seen him have this virtue in ordinary times! Suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, yes! He did it on purpose! Look at this Chen Laosan, he should also be a good trick in the Yellow River, if he is willing to lead the way, this problem will be solved!
It seems that let Li Xiaobai follow, and it's right!
Chen Laosan's eyes narrowed, he sneered, and only said "good".
That's how things are in the world, no book can be written without coincidence! Chen Laosan's appearance suddenly brightened my heart!
I ordered a few more dishes, anyway, there are eight million in the card, and we will live the life of a local tyrant for a while.
I asked Chen Laosan to order whatever he wanted, but in fact, he was just polite, but I didn't expect him to be real, and asked for a plate of braised prawns, a plate of sauce-flavored venison, and a bottle of Yanghe Daqu.
I rub! This braised prawn is not valuable to us, but the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region belongs to the mainland, and this plate of shrimp alone is more than 100!
While eating, I asked Chen Laosan to tell me about the eighteen rotations of the Yellow River he just mentioned, why people in the vicinity didn't dare to go.
When it comes to the Yellow River, Chen Laosan is like being beaten with chicken blood, it is a foaming mouth!
He said that the reason why it is called the eighteen turns of the Yellow River is because there are eighteen bends in this section of the river that is less than ten miles away, and some of these bends are turbulent and some are gentle, and they also pass through the southern foot of Helan Mountain during the period.
In fact, this section of the river is only a section of the Yellow River, and it is much closer to the main river than the main river, so many people will take risks knowing the danger.
No one is to blame, many boats capsize when they pass here.
Once a person falls into the water, seven or eight of them can die in ten miles.
What's even more evil is that there are many whirlpools in this section of the river, and many corpses cannot go down the river, and will keep spinning around the whirlpool until they turn into white bones.
It's scary to say! What a terrible picture you think about when you stand in a boat and look into the river, and there are ten or eight skeletons spinning in circles on the river!
There are so many strange things in the world that you can't believe it!
Maybe it's because there are too many people who have died here for thousands of years, and it is rumored that this place is haunted within hundreds of miles of Yinchuan!
Li Xiaobai and I interjected: "Haunted? I guess it's a rumor! ”
Chen Laosan said with a serious face: "I thought it was a rumor before, but the next few experiences made me change my opinion......
Speaking of which, that was more than 20 years ago.
At that time, Chen Laosan was still "Chen Xiaosan", and he learned to do the work of running boats with his father.
That time, because of the delay in time, in order to hurry, I had to choose to take the eighteen turns of the Yellow River. They hurried and hurried, and when they came to the eighteenth bend of the Yellow River, the sun was still setting.
The two men lay on the boat in fear, one holding an oar, trying their best to keep the boat balanced in the fast movement.
Speaking of this, Chen Laosan's face turned iron-blue, as if he had not been able to let go of what happened back then.
"What happened to you?"
Li Xiaobai couldn't help but ask.
Chen Laosan looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Until now, I'm not sure what I saw back then, is it a person?" Is it a ghost? Or a fairy! ”
"Fairy?" The more I listened, the more confused I became, in my opinion, people and ghosts can be confused, and people and fairies can also be confused, but ghosts and fairies are very different!
Chen Laosan continued to explain: At that time, all his energy was on the water, and when he passed a bend with a big wave, he suddenly saw two girls in red dresses standing on the rocks at the water's edge, looking at them and laughing.
It was dark at night, and it was a wilderness again, so there shouldn't be anyone! But at that time, he and his father saw it, so it was impossible for the two of them to look at it together!
A few years later, he passed this section of the river again, this time to see several middle-aged women standing on the water, but at the moment of his blink, several people floated into the cliffs by the river.
After that, he looked at this cliff very carefully, it can be said that the waves crashed on the shore, it was impossible to allow people to stand, and this cliff was a real rock! Taking a step back, even if someone could stand here, they would never be able to walk into the rocks!
These two experiences, coupled with such a realistic legend in the vicinity, made him have to believe that the eighteen spins of the Yellow River were very weird.
Chen Laosan told a few more strange things that he heard, and the more he said it, the more mysterious it became, and the more he said it, the more terrifying it became.
Hearing this, I suddenly realized a very coincidental thing, no! This may not be a coincidence.
Whether it is the two things that Chen Laosan has personally experienced, or the experiences he tells about others, there is a common characteristic, that is, all the women you see here are women (maybe female ghosts or fairies).
This reminds me of those strange characters translated by Antique Li, the name of the ancient village is very special, which translates to "the place where the girls gather", and I also helped to choose the name "The Girl Tribe" at that time.
Could this legendary ancient village be near the eighteen rotations of the Yellow River?
In order to avoid trouble, I didn't tell Chen Laosan and Li Xiaobai these thoughts.
The three of us talked and talked, and before we knew it, two hours had passed, and the two guys in the hotel looked at us with angry eyes.
When I turned my head, I realized that there were only three of us left in the hotel.
Maybe it was me and Xiaobai who were immersed in Chen Laosan's bizarre narration and didn't notice that it was completely dark.
"Two bosses, do you need me to help you find a hotel, or do you just sleep on the boat with me?"
Chen Laosan asked.
I looked at the little bad, and the little bad asked, "Is your boat big?" Yes...... Can you let us go? ”
Chen Laosan smiled and grinned: "My ship is not big, and I can only barely squeeze three people in the cabin, but this will cost money!" ”
"Then deal with it on your ship for the night! Just give you money according to the price of the nearby hotel. ”
I said.
I did this, on the one hand, to save trouble, and when I woke up the next day, I could set off directly, on the other hand, I also wanted to listen to Chen Laosan talk more about the eighteen rotations of the Yellow River, maybe I could find something from his words!
At this time, I saw a sly smile flashing on Chen Laosan's face, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking that it was a small joy after the success of the small merchant and hawker "soliciting customers", but what happened later proved that I completely underestimated this ordinary-looking old man in the west.
