Chapter 30: The Past

"Brother?"

I muttered and repeated this unfamiliar title, looking at the person in front of me, the aura that inadvertently emanated from the eyebrows was somewhat similar to my father, no wonder I always had a sense of déjà vu when I first looked at him but couldn't remember who he was.

But didn't my mother say that my brother died due to dystocia when he was born, could it be that my father and mother have been lying to me?

"She didn't lie to you, everyone said at that time that I couldn't live, and it was my adoptive father who saved me."

Foster father?

"Is it the Eighth Master?" I asked.

"No, he's dead."

The man said lightly, holding the artemisia in his hand again, staring at the water for a moment, with a slight force in his hand, a large-headed herring of six or seven inches was lifted out of the water by the tail of Artemisia.

"Authentic Qingjiang fish, the meat is fine and delicious, and the taste is no worse than the Yellow River carp in my hometown, how about I try my craftsmanship later."

The man threw the fish on the board of the boat, took out a short dagger from his waist, and cut the belly and intestines, and the whole action was done in one go.

And then I noticed that there were futons and quilts spread out in the canopy, as well as some simple daily necessities, and I couldn't help but wonder: "Have you always lived on the boat?" ”

"There is a lot of hustle and bustle in the world, my generation has cleared itself, and the light boat is eight feet, which is enough to settle down."

Looking at the man's indifferent face, this indifference is not like a pretend, but a habit of years and years, and I faintly feel that behind this name of Bai Impermanence that has frightened countless people, there must be a bitterness that many people can't understand.

The plump Qingjiang fish quickly became fragrant and attractive in the man's hand, and then he gently scraped the fish ridge with a short dagger, and a piece of crystal clear fish meat hung on the dagger blade and handed it to me.

"Taste it, it's fresh."

I put the fish meat in my mouth, and a refreshing sweetness instantly enveloped my taste buds, and the whole person was refreshed, and after swallowing the fish meat by dividing it by two, I waited for him to take another bite.

"If you eat like this, even the best things will be ruined."

The man said angrily, took off a piece of fish meat and gently put it in his mouth, moved his cheeks slightly, closed his eyes and looked full of enjoyment.

Qingjiang fish was quickly eaten by the two of us, looking at the white bones on the boat, I wiped my mouth and asked, "Then why haven't you come back to us for so many years, if your father and mother know that you are still alive, they must be very happy." ”

"Now that I've lived again, I'm not the same person I used to be."

After eating, the man stood up, his eyes fell on the distance, and said lightly: "You let go of the female corpse on the corpse cliff, right?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I pulled it up, do you know the female corpse?" ”

"Of course I know that if it weren't for her, my adoptive father wouldn't have died, and Liujia Village wouldn't have gone extinct."

The man's words were amazing, and I couldn't sit still, so I came to him and looked at him and said, "Didn't Liujia Village say that it was relocated when the flood was discharged, and how did it get involved with the female corpse?" ”

"Flooding?"

The man sneered, "The terrain of Sanchawanzi is much lower than that of Liujia Village, if you want to relocate, then Sanchawan should move first, how can it be your turn to get Liujia Village?" ”

I chuckled in my heart, and suddenly remembered that when I was building the river dam, someone mentioned that the soil in Liujia Village and the fields in Sanchawan were high and the water was high, and the water was low.

At that time, I didn't understand what I was talking about, so I just sang and played with the children in the village, but now that I think about it, it's about the height of the terrain and the trend of floods.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the man said to himself: "I can't protect you anytime and anywhere, try to bypass the waterway in the future, don't go near the water, as long as you are on land, she can't help you." ”

"What happened in Liujia Village back then?"

I couldn't help but ask after I came to my senses.

The man looked at the flowing river with a somewhat stunned expression, "Back then, a corpse collector in Liujia Village was greedy for the beauty of the bitter master, and tricked her into the boat and raped and killed her and threw the body into the river, who knew that the female corpse walked on the shore intact the next day, and there were no people and animals in the entire Liujia Village that night, just when the villagers who lived nearby went to investigate, a flood swallowed up the village, and even those people from other villages were involved in the Yellow River to feed the fish and shrimp, and no one dared to mention the matter of Liujia Village again,"

I frowned slightly, "If it's the fault of the corpse digger, why do you want to involve the entire village?" It's a little too cruel. ”

"When the corpse collector raped her, the whole village heard her cry for help, but no one came to help, and you said they deserved to die."

The man's faint words made me shudder, and I couldn't help but think of Sanchawan, the causes of the two things are different, but the process and the result are the same, is there any connection between them?

"The matter of Sanchawan is far more complicated than Liujia Village, it is a place where even the eighth master does not dare to get involved easily, don't worry about it, tell me the purpose of you and Yu'er coming to me, before you know who I am, you must be waiting for me with a bad stomach."

Seeing that my mind was exposed, I scratched my head and simply said frankly: "The eighth master's current whereabouts are unknown, and Sister Yu wants to invite you to go out of the mountain to preside over the situation." ”

"I also know some things outside, since you can find here, then don't worry too much, go back and prepare to go to Jiangxi with peace of mind."

"You know we're going to Jiangxi?" I disagreed.

"The matter in Jiangxi is so big, even the fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river are talking about it, why don't I know?"

The man turned the bow of the boat as he spoke, and I saw that he seemed to be sending me back, so I asked anxiously, "Then do you think we can come back alive from this trip to Jiangxi?" ”

"Jiangxi is certainly dangerous, but if you only take what you need, and don't provoke the thing at the bottom of the well, it's not impossible." The man said.

"What do you need? What do I need? I asked.

"Pure dragon water." The man said.

"Pure Dragon Water?"

I seemed to understand the meaning of his words, but I was still a little puzzled: "But the pure dragon water is guarded by the monster, how can I get the pure dragon water without alarming the monster?" ”

"Then it's up to you, if you don't even have this ability, how can you be qualified to be the position of this young owner, and you don't have the face to call yourself a descendant of the Bai family."

Seeing the figure of Sister Yu looming on the shore, the man got into the canopy and took out a gourd-shaped wine jug and handed it to me and said: "Jiangxi is cold, drink a sip of sake to warm up when it's cold." ”

Dog days, Jiangxi belongs to the south, how can it be cold?

But I was embarrassed to refuse what he offered, and after taking the flask in my hand, the man looked at me and said, "I can't protect you anytime and anywhere, and in the future, try to avoid taking the waterway, and don't get close to the water, as long as you are on land, she can't do anything about you." ”

Listening to his words, my heart warmed, and I felt that this eldest brother, who had never met for decades, still had a place for me in his heart, so I couldn't help but be a little moved: "Then how will I call you in the future, Bai Wuchang?" White regularity? Still is...... Eldest brother? ”

After hearing this, the corner of the man's mouth drew an imperceptible arc, and said lightly: "If you have the life to come back from Jiangxi this time, the next time we meet, it doesn't hurt to call me big brother." ”

The boat gradually docked on the shore, I nodded happily and walked down to the shore, Sister Yu saw that I came back, her face was also relieved, she bit her lip and said to the man's figure: "If there is a fate, can you and I make another appointment??" Drink the wine and sing to the moon? ”

The man's body was slightly stunned, he took out a pocket to cover his head, and left little by little towards the distance with the boat artemisia, and a melodious chant echoed leisurely among the mountains and fields.

"A pot and a bowl, a hat and a lily, a cane, a song ......"

Looking at Sister Yu's confused expression, I couldn't bear to disturb it, and after a long time, I saw her brushing the green silk, spitting out a slight orchid, and some couldn't help asking, "Doesn't he want to go out of the mountain?" ”

"The news of his appearance here, since we can know, then other forces will inevitably know, he doesn't need to go out of the mountain, just let the world know that he is still alive, it is enough."

After that, he turned his head to look at the wine gourd in my hand and asked, "This is what he gave you?" ”

I said yes, what do you say Jiangxi is so cold that I will warm my stomach, and I won't drink, so I'll give it to you.

Thinking that she looked at the back of her eldest brother leaving just now, she thought that she would gladly accept it, but she didn't expect Sister Yu to shake her head, "The things he gave will definitely not be for no reason and no reason, you take it, this time you go to Jiangxi, you will definitely be able to use it." ”()
