Chapter 196: Falling Goose Town
The old man's strange smile startled me, but when I watched him prop up the boat, I chuckled in my heart, and I wanted to jump down, but I saw the old man looking at me with a smirk and saying, "Now the young people have told you not to be on the river at night, why are you so disobedient." ”
After speaking, he went upstream, and the ancient sunken wooden coffin sailed down the river, and the gap between the two was opened when he was stunned, and when I reacted, the old man with the canoe actually disappeared from sight.
I was stupid, I didn't understand what was going on, and at this time, the river began to become as black as ink against the afterglow of the setting sun, and the wind on the river surface also followed, blowing on my body in bursts, cold and biting.
The sight of the whole surrounding area also changed at this moment, a series of low and dilapidated thatched houses flashed on both sides of the river, and there were people on the river bank from time to time, and the noisy human voices blew into the ears with the river breeze, like a night market, suddenly appeared in front of you.
The whole scene was so weird that I couldn't even tell whether these flowing shadows were people or ghosts, standing on the top of the coffin in a daze, letting the river breeze blow on my face, and when the wooden coffin walked along the river, a huge stone tablet slowly loomed in the black curtain.
Luoyan Town.
When he saw the black font engraved on the stele, his head shook suddenly, and an extremely unacceptable thought came to his mind, and he looked at the wooden coffin, and then at the canoe that had disappeared into the night, and jumped into the water.
The river water is cold and biting, like a cold winter wax moon, goosebumps all over the body when I go, the soles of my feet are cramping, I feel that my bones are frozen, after a period of trembling, I forcibly swim to the shore, and when I get closer and closer to the figure, I see a canoe slowly approaching, there is a person standing on the boat, I can't see the appearance in the dark, holding the river "lala" sound, and so on, only to hear him say: "Hakka, take a boat?" ”
The boatman looked no more than middle-aged, just like the old man before, shirtless, wearing yellow earthen trousers that were popular on the edge of the Yellow River for a long time, with dark skin, and a pair of eyes that could be seen dazzling even in the dark, staring at me and saying, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is not safe to be in the river." ”
I was stunned, feeling that it was not far from the river bank at this time, and that I could swim there with more effort, but when I thought of the old man, I couldn't help but say, "What will happen in the river?" ”
The man frowned and asked rhetorically, "Have you already encountered human slaughter?" ”
"Human slaughter? What people slaughtered? ”
I froze slightly, then chuckled in my heart, and couldn't help asking, "Is that the old man?" ”
The man nodded, his gaze swept over me, and said, "Let's get on the boat first." ”
I saw that this man looked really simple, especially a pair of eyes, as if he could speak, pure and transparent, and there was no trace of variegation, so I answered, turned over and got on the boat.
In fact, at this time, it is completely unclear whether the current position is the world where I live, or somewhere else, and when I stood on the boat, I saw the man turn the bow of the boat to the shore without saying a word, wiped the water on his body and said, "Big brother, are we going to Luoyan Town?" ”
The middle-aged man snorted, rowed the boat to the shore with an artemisia in his hand, and said, "Have you ever seen someone slaughtered?" ”
I immediately nodded and said, "Who is that person butcher, my two friends are on his boat, will there be danger?" ”
"Got on his boat?" The man chuckled for no reason and said, "Tomorrow morning, you will be able to see your friends." ”
"Really?"
I was overjoyed at first, but when I thought of the old man's weird smile before leaving and the man's inexplicable chuckle, I felt my throat and eyes tighten a little, and asked the man: "How do you see me?" ”
"Wu Ji Bun Shop."
The middle-aged man spoke, and when the boat slowly approached the shore and tied the rope to the pile to prepare to go ashore, I immediately followed and asked, "What Wu Ji bun shop, what will happen to my friend?" ”
The man ignored me, tied the rope and went straight to the shore, and I stepped forward in two steps, stopped beside him, and said, "Is my friend in danger?" ”
The man glanced at me lightly and said, "You are still the first one who dares to sail here at night, and it is already a great fortune to be slaughtered into human meat buns, it is better than being divided by a water monster, and you don't even have a chance to be reincarnated, right?" ”
Saying that, I walked around me and continued to walk forward, I was stunned for a long time, felt a heart sink into the valley, gritted my teeth and chased him and said, "What kind of person is Tu, do you also live in this Luoyan Town?" ”
This time the man didn't leave, stared at me and said, "Are you going to look for him?" ”
I nodded, looked him in the eye and said, "Can you take me to him?" ”
After thinking about it, he paused again: "Then can you tell me where his shop is, I'll go by myself, and I won't bother you." ”
The man glanced at me, his eyes were full of disdain, and said lightly: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
I was stunned and said, "Yellow, Yellow River? ”
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and ignored me, and continued to walk forward.
His pace was extremely fast, and I had to trot all the way to barely keep up with him, but then no matter what I said, he treated me as air, and he didn't even lift his eyelids, let alone make a sound, and at this time, I felt that someone suddenly patted me on the shoulder, and subconsciously turned around, and saw a teenager with a similar grade to me standing behind me, looking at me and saying, "Are you going to Wu Ji Bun Shop?" ”
I was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you know where it is?" ”
"Come with me."
The boy turned around and walked back, I stood where I was, turned my head and glanced at the middle-aged man who was walking away, thought of the human meat bun he said, turned around and ran after the boy.
The whole Luoyan Town is like entering a desert lonely town, even at night, you can see the Gobi yellow sand in the distance, all the houses are made of adobe bricks and yellow mud, and the people passing by in front of you are also dressed in dirt clothes and soil pants, ignoring me, an outsider, just hurrying away, I don't know what I am busy with.
"Your friend is at the hands of a human slaughterer?"
After a few corners, the boy stopped and looked at me.
I answered, and looked around, and there was a narrow street lined with shops with all sorts of old signs, stirring together with the yellow sand in the gale.
And just in front of where I was standing, a long yellow flag hunting in the wind was stained with black ink with five big characters of dragons flying and phoenix dancing: Wu Ji Bun Shop.
"Thanks!"
After reading the words on the flag, I thanked the boy and hurried towards the bun shop.
There seems to be no one on this street in the whole town, and the door of Wu Ji's bun shop is also tightly closed, and there is no movement at all.
I looked left and right, and found that the boy who had led me was nowhere to be seen, but I couldn't do much at this time, and when I took a deep breath and raised my leg and was about to kick the door, a light suddenly lit up inside the door, and then the sound of footsteps came from inside, and with the sound of the iron lock shaking, the door was opened.
Standing at the door was the same old man he had met on the river.
"Where's my friend!"
I gritted my teeth and went directly to the old man into the house, the old man did not block the lamp in his hand, and when I entered the house, I found that the whole room was only in the middle of a wooden table, there were two people sitting next to the wooden table, the light was too dark to see really, at this time the old man also turned around, the oil lamp in his hand was slightly raised to the top of his head, the dim light illuminated the sight, only to see Huang Ci and the red carp two were sitting next to the wooden table, there was a porcelain bowl in front of them, and they were concentrating on eating.
"You're all right!"
Seeing the two of them appear in front of me intact, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, feeling that I was bluffed by the middle-aged man, what age are they and human meat buns, and they also heard me speak, raised their heads, looked at me, and said with a smile: "Come and eat something." ”
"The boat is too small to hold so many people at once, so I'll send your two friends ashore first, and when I go back to look for you, you're gone." ()
