"What, you suspect I'm?" Mrs. Fang glanced at my dad at this time, and her face was cold.

The village chief and the others looked at each other and were at a loss.

My dad snorted, "Whether it's or not, you know it in your heart." ”

"If you don't believe me, why do you come to me? You can do whatever you want. After that, Mrs. Fang turned around and was about to leave, but the village chief and others hurriedly ran over to block the door, apologizing to Mrs. Fang with a smile on their faces.

I secretly thought that this goddess is really good-tempered, as if others have a grudge against her.

My dad's face couldn't hang up, "Is there really a demon in the river?" ”

Mrs. Fang glanced at my father and sneered, "What, are you afraid of demons?" ”

"If there is a demon, I am not afraid, but I am afraid that people are more terrible than demons." My dad was-for-tat, "The river is fierce, do you think two children can stay on the river for one night?" ”

Mrs. Fang sneered, "Greedy for life and afraid of death, so why say more!" ”

With that, Mrs. Fang turned around and turned her back to my father.

"This witch! Let's go! "My dad turned around and left.

The village chief and others hurriedly stopped my father, and said with a bitter face: "This is related to the character of our whole village, Mr. Ning, you must help us!" There can be no more dead people in our village, and if we die again, the whole village will be empty! ”

My dad didn't think so, "Do you really believe that crazy woman's words, think that there are really demons in the river?" ”

The village chief said: "Whether there is a demon or not, we will do what Fang Shenpo said, and naturally we will not be wrong." ”

"What if my child and my girl were drowned in the river?" My dad asked.

"This—" the village chief paused, and then said, "if so, I will pay for my life." ”

"Humph!" My dad turned his face away.

"Please, you can help us." As he spoke, the village chief knelt down in front of my father, "Mr. Ning, you have always been kind-hearted, not afraid of danger, and digging up corpses for people, even if it is dangerous, it will be your duty." This time, you have to help us no matter what, this is at stake for the lives of our whole village! ”

The other villagers also knelt down and pleaded bitterly.

"Mr. Ning, you can help us!"

"We can't afford to die in our village anymore!"

……

My father's brows furrowed tightly, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but you can't trust her words." If there is a river demon, why haven't I encountered it in so many years? Moreover, it is at stake for my child's life. If it were me, I would have been able to get out, but the child ......"

Speaking of which, my dad looked at me.

I know my dad is worried about my safety. In fact, I have been thinking about whether to help them or not. I don't believe in river demons in this world, and I don't believe in those Shinto things. And the river is so rough that I have seen it with my own eyes, and although I am well water, there is no guarantee that I will be able to stay on the river for a night and be safe.

After all, an old sedan chair is no different from a fallen leaf on today's Yinyang River.

However, when I saw the village chief and the villagers kneeling down and begging my father, my heart tightened.

At this time, in their eyes, we are their hope, and if they are disappointed, it is really unbearable.

"Dad, you taught me since I was a child, the corpse collector must be upright, and cross others and himself, since the villagers have asked us, you still have to respond." I thought about it and agreed.

My dad looked at me approvingly, sighed slightly, and nodded to the village chief.

The village chief and the villagers thanked our father and son for their kindness, and I hurried over to help the village chief and the villagers up.

Mother Fang turned around and had a cold face, "Father and son of the Ning family, since you agree, you can't go back, everything must be arranged by me, and there must be no mistakes in the marriage matter, otherwise, if you annoy the river demon, none of you can afford it." ”

The father snorted coldly, "Our father and son only responded for the sake of the villagers' face, we can listen to your arrangement, if the two children have a little difference, I will let you lose your life!" ”

The village chief hurriedly crossed between his father and Mrs. Fang, letting the two of them dissipate their anger.

Next, the village chief organized the villagers to discuss the marriage between me and Lingling.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the village chief brought a white horse, the groom rode a horse, and the six children greeted their relatives, which was in response to the poem "Lang rode a white horse, and the sedan chair was red and fresh".

I rode a white horse in the crowd of people down to the pagoda, the goddess of the house helped me to get off the horse, into the pagoda, in the pagoda, some dim palanquins are paved with red dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds, meaning "early birth of a noble son".

Lingling sat quietly in the sedan chair, she was still unconscious, wearing a rose-scented tight top, a red gauze loose flower skirt, a big bow tied with a gold silk belt around her waist, and a hijab of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang on her head.

I was a little very nervous, holding the unconscious Lingling, the two of them got out of the sedan chair together, and got married in the pagoda, and the goddess said that the wedding ceremony must not be missing, otherwise it is disrespectful to the river demon.

Although it was a happy event, I saw that there was not much joy on my father's face.

The river has risen so much these days that no one knows whether going to the river for a night will be a blessing or a curse.

Lady Fang, who was the wedding officiant, asked me to read the prenuptial vows and then began to worship in the church.

The villagers support the Lingling Chapel.

After the worship hall, the wedding ceremony of worshipping heaven and earth is completed, and the bride and groom are sent into the cave room.

The so-called cave room is in the pagoda sedan chair.

I sat in a sedan chair with Lingling's hand, and the lady told me that I could only lift the bride's hijab when I reached the river.

The village chief had already prepared a fishing boat at the port, and the four villagers carried a sedan chair to board the boat under the crowd of the villagers.

The boat was one of those old-fashioned wooden boats, with no cabins and only manual paddles, and the sails on board were yellowish and somewhat worn out.

Fang Shenpo explained that the wedding boat can only be in accordance with tradition, and cannot use large boats and iron boats, aquatic wood, wood grounding, and ground water, and must be married with pagoda sedan chairs and wooden boats.

My father personally tied the sedan chair to the fishing boat with thick hemp rope, adjusted the sails, and inspected them several times in detail to make sure there were no problems.

Before leaving, my father repeatedly told us to be careful, take care of Lingling, and when it was dawn, he would pick us up as soon as possible.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, amid the prayers of the villagers, the boat floated away like an arrow from a string under the impact of the river.

Soon, the voices of the villagers on the shore could not be heard, and when the sedan curtain was lifted, the lights were no longer visible, only the cold moonlight flickered on the riverside.

Nine candles illuminated the palanquin, and I carefully picked up the bride's hijab with the prepared weighing rod. The scale rod represents satisfaction.

What catches your eye is Lingling's face, the skin is like clotted fat, the snow white is pink, the black hair hangs down the waist, emitting a faint fragrance, the waist is slender, the limbs are slender, and the temperament is like a fairy.

Lingling's natural beauty, under the dress, has become the most beautiful bride in the world.

I was a little excited, and I held Lingling in my arms.

But...... Lingling has been unconscious, and until now, she still doesn't know who I am.

Mrs. Fang explained that she could not leave the sedan chair at night, and the boat floated freely on the riverside with the wind, and other villagers could not follow.

Although it was summer, it was still a little cold on the river late at night, and I hugged Lingling tightly for fear that she would freeze.

After a while, the wind outside blew the sedan curtain hunting, the wind began to rise by the river, the hull of the ship shook slightly, and all the candlelight in the sedan chair was blown out by the wind, and the surroundings were dim.

I lifted the curtain of the car, and the moonlight shone on the sea, like a smeared silver flickering and flying on the water......

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a thunderclap echoed in my ears, and then a torrential downpour of rain poured down, and the waves hit the boat again and again, and the boat began to toss in the water, and I grasped the rope with my left hand, and hugged Lingling tightly with my right hand, feeling uneasy.

The river began to roar, the current was very fast, and splashes poured from the car door, scattering me and Lingling.

I secretly screamed that this kind of wooden boat can't withstand the big wind and waves.

"Lingling! Spirit! Wake up! I shook Lingling's body vigorously. Lingling's brows furrowed, as if he was in pain, still unconscious.

The boat began to spin wildly, I desperately clung to the ropes, and the two of us were rampage in the palanquin, unable to control it at all, and if this continued, the boat would soon capsize!

If the boat capsizes, the spirit will definitely drown!

I rushed out of the sedan chair, the sea and the rain pounded wildly on me, and the boat was quickly drifting downstream under the impetus of the strong wind, like a small boat in the sea, which was no longer controlled. The right side of the boat tilts wildly under the impact of the river, and the boat will capsize at any time!

I rushed to the sail with a lunge and immediately lowered the sail to adjust the course to ensure that the boat was sailing against the wind and that the hull was slightly steady.

Just as I was breathing a sigh of relief, a huge wave came from the left, and the boat staggered, and the stern of the boat left the water, and then slammed into the water.

I immediately tightened the sails and took control of the hull.

Suddenly, I heard a scream coming from the sedan chair, and immediately after, a figure flew out of the sedan chair and fell into the water!

I was taken aback, "Lingling! ”

In the blink of an eye, there was no longer a shadow of Lingling in the river!

I was so anxious that I held on to the sails and was about to jump into the water to save people, when the boat was bumpy again, and suddenly I found two feet sticking out from under the car door!
