Chapter 206: Hekou Dock
The passenger boat slowly sailed away from the ferry, slowly moving along the rolling waves on the river, Huaibei and Jiang Boss sat beside me left and right, with a solemn face, I couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's not to send death to the doctor, it's good to come back, as for doing so righteous?" ”
They smiled and didn't speak, and it was only then that I noticed that the red carp was not around, so I asked them where they were.
"Look upstairs and see the view." Boss Jiang said lightly.
"She's better?" I was amazed.
Boss Jiang shook his head and said: "It's still like that, Wu Laowei don't look at his ability, but the ecstasy soup is a must, many people ask for a lot of money, he refuses to sell it, it is estimated that Yan Buhuan can cure this poison in the whole world, I hope he can raise his noble hand this time and pull the two of you back from the abyss." ”
After Boss Jiang's words landed, there was silence in the cabin.
Listening to the bursts of water echoing in my ears, I wanted to open my mouth several times to ask Boss Jiang what the Yellow River Ancient Road was all about, but I felt that with his status and knowledge here, I am afraid that I would not know too much, and I didn't want to expose myself too much in front of him.
I lay in the middle of the passenger boat, and I couldn't see anything but the slightly damp planks on my head, except for the small boat that kept sailing forward, and I didn't even bend at it, except for the occasional sound of large ships rushing across the water, all that was left was the sound of the water.
In the middle, the boat was also stopped twice on the river, listening to the sound of talking outside as if it was asking for a toll, I listened to it and felt fresh, it was really a strange thing in the world, the Yellow River was born to grow, and someone actually collected tolls here.
However, Boss Jiang told me that the further you go, the more such people there are, because there are so many people who commit crimes and evils on the surface of the ancient road river, and you can't even find a shadow on the water after killing people and goods, and these people who collect tolls are all residents of the towns along the way, and they spontaneously organize to maintain the stability of the nearby river, and then ask for tolls from caravans or boats like our dart bureau across the river, which can be regarded as getting an errand.
I heard the words and responded, in fact, I really wanted to go out to see what this ancient road of the Yellow River looked like, but it was a pity that this body did not say that I went to see it, and the cough hurt with the ribs, I hope that when I come back from Yan Buhuan, I can enjoy the scenery along the way.
There is no concept of time on the ship, and the time can only be judged by the deviation of the sun, as if it were evening, the bright sun has gradually become yellow, and the passenger ship slowly sails away from the river and gradually stabilizes at the ferry.
At this time, the four strong men who had lifted the bed for me before also walked down from the second floor, and without saying a word, I lifted me and walked out of the boat, I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, I was only in my early twenties, and the state of my body bones and my head full of white hair, I didn't know that I must have thought that I was an old man with only half a breath left, and carried back to my hometown to be buried.
After getting off the boat, I was finally able to see the light of day again, I rolled my eyes vigorously to explore the surrounding scenery, and found that this place seemed to be a completely different scene, full of green mountains and green waters, small bridges, and even the passers-by next to them were wearing different clothes from Luoyan Town, as if suddenly from the desert outside the Saiwai, to the beautiful Jiangnan.
And to my surprise, the distinctive clothes of our people and the fact that I was carried on the bed board by four big men did not seem to attract much attention from the people here, and many people just glanced at it lightly when they passed by, and their faces did not change, and then they walked over.
Boss Jiang walked aside, looked at my surprised expression, and said with a smile: "This place is called Heqian Dock, go forward and cross another river to reach the residence of the murderous quack Yan Buhuan, there is an endless stream of people who go to ask him to help treat the sick on weekdays, and the people who live in this area have long been used to it, and when they get here, even if they are within the scope of the thirteen serial docks, it is the territory of Princess Wushan." ”
I don't know why, after waking up the memory of my previous life from the monk corpse in the ancient sunken wooden coffin, whenever the name of Princess Wushan rang in my ears, my heart was faintly touched, and an indescribable emotion came to my heart, I don't know whether it was sour or astringent, in short, it was very uncomfortable.
Looking at the small bridge and flowing water that can only be felt when reading a book in front of them, the ancient trees, and the soft whispers that echo in the ears from time to time, everyone walked through the streets and alleys, and almost walked to the time when the sky was just dark, a small river flowing between the beautiful mountains, accompanied by the gentle flow of pleasant water, little by little into the eyes.
As soon as I entered here, it was like returning to the nameless river where I met my eldest brother for the first time, but the scenery here is even better, even the air is refreshing and fragrant, and the sight of the whole person seems to be sharpened.
At this time, a loud and tactful boatman's whistle suddenly came over at the corner of the distant mountains, singing the Dongwu minor, the singer seemed to have no intention, but the meaning of the song was the slightest taste, I couldn't hear what was singing, but I could feel the comfort of a corner of the piece, regardless of the worldly disputes, and being an idle cloud and wild crane.
Listening to the unconsciously into the trance, waiting for a song to be sung, in my eyes, I saw an old man with crane hair and a childish face, wearing a light green robe, carrying a conical hat on his back, bending down to hold the long artemisia in his hand and gently brushing the water, rowing a canoe silently to the shore, only to exhale slightly, and said to us: "Come back next month, the quack doctor is full today, no more visits this month, come early next time." ”
The four of them looked at each other, even if it was full today, why wait until next month, is it difficult to have a number?
The old man didn't care about us after speaking, he hummed a little tune in his nose and tied the reins of the boat to the shore, and stepped off the boat, but how could we go away without even seeing each other, Boss Jiang hurriedly came to the old man and said: "Grandpa, you see that my friend is seriously injured and can't last long, can you see if you can be accommodating, okay, take us over to see?" ”
As he spoke, he took out a burden from his arms and was about to push it into the old man's hand, but he saw the old man's eyes glaring suddenly, and said: "Which one of you who came here is not seriously injured and dying, and there are several dead people, if they are all like you, wouldn't Doctor Yan have to die of exhaustion." ”
"But it's full today, why wait until next month, why don't we stay in town tonight and come early tomorrow?" Huaibei also said anxiously at this time.
"This is the rule, only one person will be treated in a month, this is the rule set by Yan Yongyi, I don't even know what kind of excitement I am running around blindly, hurry up and carry people back, don't die here and dirty the river, in case I am met by Princess Wushan again, you and I will not survive!"
The old man began to blow his beard and stare at him as he spoke, Boss Jiang seemed to be very jealous of him, moved his lips and did not dare to speak, but Huaibei stared at him bigger than him, blocked in front of the old man and said, "You just said Princess Wushan?" ”
"Tomorrow Princess Wushan will go to the thirteen chain docks to cruise, maybe she will pick the estuary dock, you are here dead people to dirty the environment, if you spoil the princess's interest, the little life will be all over!"
The old man did not show weakness at all in the face of Huaibei, the chests of the two people were tightly pressed together, you stare at me and I stared at you, the protruding eyeballs almost touched together, and then I saw Huaibei suddenly smiled and said: "What if we are acquaintances with Princess Wushan, can't we be accommodating?" ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth and spat directly on Huaibei's face and said: "A few villagers from the countryside, if you know Princess Wushan, then I am still Princess Wushan's future father-in-law, hurry up, if you don't roll, I will call someone to throw you all into the Yellow River to feed the fish!" ”
The distance between the two was less than half an inch, and the old man's smack smacked Huaibei's face, Huaibei wiped his hand on his face, then shook it to the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "You old immortal show me, lying on this is your Wushan's future concubine, delaying his medical treatment, even if you have ten heads, it is not enough to kill!" ”
