Without the Buddha of Sorrow to lead the way, I don't know if I can reach Sandao Bay by just following the river all the way, and at the same time, my heart is full of endless conjectures about the changes that have occurred in the ancient road, because the ghost baby's intervention in the four major forces to start a war, the invasion of Jiuquan Mansion, and the appearance of the Yellow River gallbladder, in short, there are many, many people, causing me to stand there a little uneasy, until Boss Shi softly called "Shaodongjia", which pulled me back from my contemplation.

"Shaodong, don't you want to ask, why didn't I help you in the first place in Julong Villa?"

Looking at Boss Shi's somewhat apprehensive expression, I smiled, "Mingzhe self-preservation is the best and most useful survival rule in troubled times, if our two roles are reversed at that time, I don't dare to guarantee that I will help you as soon as possible." ”

Without waiting for Boss Shi to speak, I asked him, "Do you know where we're going this time?" ”

Boss Shi nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then aren't you afraid of death?" I laughed.

Boss Shi pondered for a moment and said, "This era is not for us. ”

My heart trembled, stared at him and didn't answer, I saw that his eyes suddenly began to be a little melancholy, and said leisurely: "The car has replaced the carriage, the ship has replaced the wooden boat, no one knows what the Luban lock is, and no one remembers the carpenter back then, if he dared to use a nail in the process of building carpentry, it would be a ridiculous thing......"

"Now people don't watch magic tricks, many people who have practiced the skills of their ancestors since they were young have to face the reality that they can't even eat, in fact, plus me and Jinyue, a total of three sisters and sisters apprenticed together, in addition to the two of us, the youngest sister guess what to do now?"

Hua Qiyan said at this time.

I was stunned, shook my head, and said, "What for?" ”

"In the northern countryside, I run red and white things for people, and I can barely make a living by performing some meat tricks."

Boss Shi sighed again at this moment and said: "Yes, those fellow brothers who studied with me decades ago are now opening their own shops in the furniture city and working for themselves. ”

"Sometimes when I am the only one left at night, I often think, whether I gave birth to the wrong generation, or the generation abandoned us craftsmen, the society is developing too fast, I still remember when I first completed my studies and went to build a house for a large family, only to find that this generation, there is no such thing as a beam, what is the thing that replaces the beam?"

"Load-bearing walls." I muttered.

The cabin fell silent all of a sudden, and even Aunt Jinyue's face was sad, and she sighed lightly: "Natural selection, survival of the fittest, don't be merciful here, think about what to do after you go there, it's the right thing." ”

The ancient sunken wooden boat slowly sailed on the river under the cover of the stars at night, and after calculating the time, it was basically the same distance as the Buddha took me to Sandao Bay at that time, but the scenery on both sides of the river still did not change, and I did not enter the weak water area, which made me secretly worry that if I couldn't find Sandao Bay, then all the plans would be aborted here.

"Look, there's a ship ahead!"

With the soft cry of the sentry standing on the top of the boat, everyone looked forward along the bow lookout, and saw a small boat with dim candlelight appeared on the wide river, swaying, as if following the current, slowly approaching us.

This scene reminded me of the boats that covered the river at Kinmen on the Yellow River that night, which were very similar to the small boats in front of me, all of which were awning boats, with lights hanging on the bows, but no one could be seen.

Seeing that the boat was about to collide with the ancient sunken wooden boat, the four people in charge of rowing hurriedly turned around and avoided the way the boat had to go, and just when everyone was relieved, they heard the people above shout again: "That boat is sticking to us, we can't get rid of it!" ”

Everyone's faces changed, let Shi Boss and Hua Qiyan stay inside, Jinyue and I hurriedly turned over to the top of the boat, and then went straight to the stern of the boat under the leadership of the sentry, looked down, and found that the canopy boat was clinging to the hull as if it had suction, allowing the ancient sunken wooden boat to row, but it did not leave for a moment.

Jinyue and I looked at each other, and the sentry shouted at the same time, "But there is a boat......"

I interrupted what he was about to say with a wave of my hand, and my eyes were fixed on the river lantern hanging on the bow of the boat, which is not usually used by boatmen, only corpse collectors and river patrollers will hang this lantern with the smell of river beasts on the bow of the boat to dispel the ghosts waiting in the water to attack.

Looking up at the surrounding of the river, he found that except for these two boats, the entire river was empty, without a trace of spark, and when he looked at the boat, he found that the boat was bleeding.

Blood seeped out of the cabin, flowed into the river, and stood on the air-exposed plank, as if to tell everyone that a terrible murder had taken place on the boat.

Stunned, Aunt Jinyue had already jumped from the top of the boat to the boat, I also hurriedly followed, the heel landed firmly on the board, shaking the boat slightly, and at this time Aunt Jinyue had already plunged into the cabin, and then let out an exclamation, my heart jumped, and pulled her out, through the dim candle flame, I found that on the board in the cabin, there was a bloody human head.

The moment I saw the human head, I chuckled in my heart, but when I saw the appearance of the human head clearly, the whole person froze there, it was the Buddha of Mourning.

On the night of leaving Yao's house, I also asked Yao Erye, whether he killed the Buddha in the end, but Yao Erye told me again and again that everything he did before was according to the instructions of the old lady cat, forcing me to take the red carp to different places to risk myself, forcing out the evil spirit hidden in her body, as for killing the Buddha of Mourning, he didn't do it, and even the death of Granny An was done by someone else, or rather, Both things were done by the same person, and the purpose is unknown.

Looking at the head of the Buddha of Mourning that appeared out of thin air, I was a little at a loss for a while, thought about it, and stretched out my hand to lift his head out of the cabin, I felt that the sight in front of me suddenly darkened, and hurriedly turned around, and found that the river lantern was still emitting a faint light with the shaking of the river, but the moon in the sky was covered by a cloud of dark clouds, and the sky and the earth became dark in an instant, and then the boat began to shake violently, and I heard Aunt Jinyue whisper in my ear: "Go up, the boat is sinking." ”

The canopy boat was not broken, nor did it leak, but it began to sink into the water little by little for no reason, and the man standing on the top of the ancient sunken wooden boat also turned on the flashlight at this moment to shine on us, and the incandescent light instantly illuminated the surrounding situation clearly, I squinted at the river that had become like a ball of black ink, and my heart suddenly became clear, and hurriedly said: "The Yellow River is weak, get on the boat, and you are going to enter Sandao Bay!" ”

Aunt Jinyue threw a rope towards the ancient sunken wooden boat, and after the man on it caught it, he grabbed me and wanted to leave the boat, I dragged her, said offended, stretched out my hand and grabbed the head of the Buddha of Mourning, and when the two returned to the top of the boat, they saw that the dark clouds dispersed, and the moon appeared again, and the sinking boat gradually began to surface little by little, sticking to the ancient sunken wooden boat, and slowly moving forward.

The three of them were stunned, and when they heard my voice, Boss Shi and Hua Qiyan also got out of the cabin, and just wanted to ask me what was going on, but after seeing the human head in my hand, they were silent.

I carried the human head in my hand and fell into contemplation, I always felt that the canopy boat with the head of the Buddha of Mourning and Joy would not appear for no reason, but after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with any fame, and when I hesitated, I listened to Aunt Jinyue on the side and knew in the language: "Could it be this human head......"

I suddenly had a spirit, looked at her, then at the head in my hand, jumped into the boat again, looked up at the sky, only to see that the dark clouds of the little kung fu had covered the moon again, and the boat began to sink.

At that moment, I burst into tears, my throat and eyes were like being blocked by cotton, and I saw that the speed of the boat sinking gradually accelerated, and the river water did not reach my ankles, and in the call of Aunt Jinyue and Shi Laoda, I placed the human head on the boat board, pulled the rope back to the top of the boat, and kowtowed three times to the boat and the head of the Buddha of Mourning that gradually disappeared into the river.
