The second uncle has been running the merchant gang for many years, and his body is very tough, but it is also very difficult to run with Xiaobao, and I can clearly hear his deep gasps, but he also doesn't know where the strength comes from, holding a big girl over the red concave lead, and even driving more than ten miles of mountain roads without stopping.

I walked this mountain road, and I knew that he was going to Pingchuan Town, and I guessed that he also wanted to find a family in the town to hide, and even if he was the emperor, he couldn't find him.

He relied on a pair of big feet to shake off the desperate running, and pulled the officers and soldiers behind him nearly a mile away, but these people were obviously also on the bar, using the strength to eat milk and chasing after them, plus the mountain road was muddy, step by step, the trail could not be covered at all, and no matter how they shook off, they couldn't shake off these tails.

Presumably he was also annoyed, but I didn't have time to care, just staring closely at the black gas ten feet away behind me.

This black gas floated after us slowly, and I don't know what it was, in short, it was strange, it was neither near nor far away, it hung behind us and chased after us.

I also muttered in my heart: You, don't you chase it!

At this moment, I felt that my body was stagnant, and I felt that the second uncle seemed to have stopped. I thought that the second uncle was tired and wanted to take a breath, but as soon as I turned around, I saw a scene of white flowers in the dark night ahead, and I was taken aback.

At this time, the torrential rain was like a note, and in front of me was a vast ocean-like river beach, and I secretly said, it turned out that I had arrived at the Pingchuan River!

It's just that the river is much wider than usual, and the usual Pingchuan River is only a hundred zhang wide, but it is estimated that there is already a mile in front of me, only to see the white waves rolling, the water flow is turbulent, and the river surface is constantly stirring up roaring flood peaks.

I sighed in my heart: It's flooding again!

Tonight, there was a sudden rainstorm, and the soybean winter rain was rolling down, and it had been nearly three hours by this time!

This Pingchuan River is a tributary of the Tingjiang River, along the road through the deep mountains of Liangye, often with mud and stones, to the Pingchuan Town around the river gradually widened, the silt will be deposited with this, the government is lazy and does not take care of it on weekdays, so there are often floods, but the scene in front of me at this moment is too amazing, than the flood I encountered when I was fifteen years old!

But I was stunned, and secretly said something wrong!

The Pingchuan River in front of you is ...... But where is the Pingchuan Bridge?

I took a closer look ahead in the dim light of the sky to see the clue.

There are more than a dozen bridge piers on the river not far away, only to come out, and those rapids continue to crash on them, stirring up bursts of waves!

Pingchuan Bridge ...... I was so crushed by this flood!

My second uncle was obviously dumbfounded, he put Xiaobao down slowly, his eyes were full of anxiety, if there was no bridge, they would definitely be trapped here, and when those officers and soldiers caught up, they could only be captured!

Just when we were very anxious, a light suddenly lit up on the river not far away, and I thought I was dazzled, but when I saw it clearly, I was secretly happy.

It turned out to be a ferryboat, and the sheepskin lanterns hanging on it flickered in the thick wind and rain, and it seemed that there must be a ferry fair.

Under this Pingchuan Bridge, there is the iron chain ropeway that Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty repaired in five years, when the Pingchuan Bridge was not repaired before, the people of ten miles and eight towns had to rely on the ropeway to cross the river with the ferry, and later after the Pingchuan Bridge was repaired, although the ropeway has been kept, but I heard that the ferry boat was gradually abandoned.

I didn't expect that at this moment, there was a captain ferrying over, which really made us ecstatic.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the ferry had already docked on the shore, and the second uncle and Xiaobao hurriedly approached the ferry, and I heard the second uncle shouting desperately against the wind and rain: "Is there anyone?" Anyone? ”

When the ferry was steady, I saw a man flash out from behind the cabin, this man was lean and dark-skinned, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Someone! What's wrong? How many of you are going to cross the river? ”

The second uncle nodded, hugged the father-in-law, and said, "This eldest brother has Lao to send us across the river, and my brother is grateful!" ”

The captain waved his hand, pointed to the Pingchuan River behind him and shouted, "No! There are big waves in this river, and it is really dangerous to pass, so you better wait for the water to ease tomorrow! ”

The second uncle was anxious when he heard this, and pointed to the ferry and asked, "You came by the ferry in the middle of the night, aren't you just going to do business!" Why don't you cross it? If you don't think you have a lot of money, just ask! ”

"I don't do business......" The captain smiled, pointed behind the second uncle and said, "My wife and children came back from their parents' house tonight and are trapped here!" I just took the risk to pick her up! ”

The second uncle and Xiaobao took a look, and saw a lady in a cloak not far behind them, holding the child and slowly flowing over.

I really wondered when I saw it, why didn't I see anyone else on this shore just now, I guess I didn't pay attention to it when I was in a hurry!

The black-faced man stretched out his hand to pull his wife up, and without saying a word, he was about to leave the shore by pulling up the boat, and the second uncle was anxious when he saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold down the board of the ferry, and begged: "Big brother, please slow down!" We have to cross the river immediately, it's really a matter of life and death! Please help us! ”

"Oh?" The black-faced man paused in his hand and asked, "Is life or death at stake?" What's going on? ”

The second uncle clasped his fists and said: "It's not a secret, there are officers and soldiers behind us to chase and kill, if we stay here, we are afraid that our lives will not be guaranteed!" ”

When the captain heard this, he laughed: "There are officers and soldiers chasing and killing? Then I won't dare to cross you! We can't afford to mess with the officers and soldiers! ”

The second uncle hurriedly explained: "I am Lu Gaoyuan of the Lu family at the South Gate, and I am not a wicked person!" ”

"Oh, the South Gate Lu Xianggong," said the captain, "I've heard of ......."

The second uncle saw that this captain recognized the name of our family, his face showed a hint of joy, he pointed to Xiaobao and said: "Those officers and soldiers chased and killed this innocent lady, her mother has been poisoned!" Our merchant gang happened to meet Fang just came to the rescue! ”

The captain sighed: "I see, I also hate these dog officials......"

The second uncle pointed to Xiaobao and said, "This little lady is pregnant, if the eldest brother helps, it will save the lives of the three of us!" ”

Xiaobao nodded and begged bitterly: "Please also ask the eldest brother to save his life......"

"There are three ......" The captain pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile, "This past is dangerous, aren't you afraid?" I don't care if I lose my life! ”

The second uncle gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid! We are here to die! In the past, you only had a chance to live, it depends on your ability, big brother! ”

"Don't be afraid of death...... "Then come up!" ”

With that, he stretched out his hand and pulled Xiaobao and my second uncle onto the ferry.

I also floated on the ferry with Xiaobao, but as soon as I turned around, I was shocked!

What about that black gas?

Why is it gone?

I was shocked for a while, and secretly said in my heart: This thing is really an inexplicable ghost...... I looked left and right for a while, but I couldn't find a trace, so I had to give up.

The second uncle was about to help Xiaobao into the cabin, but Xiaobao seemed to have some morning sickness reaction, and retched a few times next to the side of the boat and was reluctant to go in.

"There are other people's ladies in there, and it's not good to spit out dirty......" Xiaobao said timidly.

The second uncle saw that she didn't want to go in, so he had to accompany her.

The black-faced man sighed, pulled up the penny and pushed it to the shore, and there was a "click" friction sound on the cableway, and the ferry went out into the river.

When we reached the middle of the river, it was a dangerous scene!

I saw that the river was turbulent like an arrow, the white waves were surging like a fist, and countless sand and stones were faintly turned out, constantly hitting the side of the boat, making a "hissing" roar!

The second uncle hurriedly protected Xiaobao behind him, and the captain was commonplace, holding up the long penny in his hand like a fish in water in the wind and waves.

After crossing the middle of the river, the captain held on for several more days, and seeing that the shore was getting closer and closer, the second uncle and Xiaobao showed a happy look on their faces.

That's when the mutation happened!

I saw a torrent of water not far upstream, and the boat was lifted up in one fell swoop! The second uncle hurriedly held down Xiaobao to stabilize his figure, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw a more dangerous scene!

This flood peak was extremely huge, and it rushed over with more than a dozen logs at once!

These logs are unusually thick, and they are estimated to be ten zhang long from a distance, presumably from the edge of the logging field of Liangye Mountain, and have been swept by the rapid flood peak!

The black-faced man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly clenched the penny in the hope of avoiding these logs, but he dodged left and right, and was still hit by a log on the side of the ship, and there was a violent tearing sound on the iron cable, and the second uncle and Xiaobao also fell heavily on the board, and when he got up to see, the secret road was broken!

I saw that the ferry at this moment had been stuck between two bridge piers by a huge log, and it was impossible to move left and right.

The black-faced man threw the penny away, looked around for a moment, sat on the board of the boat, sighed and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" The ship hasn't broken yet! ”

The second uncle opened his mouth and asked, "Brother boat! What do you think you should do? ”

The captain smiled bitterly: "What else can I do!" Cold! ”

"Wait for tomorrow! Let's talk about someone coming tomorrow! ”

After all, this captain flashed into the cabin, presumably to take care of his wife and children!

The second uncle looked around along the side of the boat for a while, and saw that the hull of the boat was generally intact, and there was no damage to the water, and his heart was a lot more stable, but he was trapped in this half of the river, and his heart was quite depressed.

Xiao Bao pulled the second uncle's arm, with a worried look on his face, "Brother Lu, will there be any danger......

The second uncle patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "Miss Xiaobao, this ship is okay for a while, it doesn't matter!" It's just going to wait for tomorrow......"

After the thrilling scene just now, everyone on the boat had palpitations, but fortunately there was no danger, but they were a little tired, and they were silent for a while.

At this time, I saw the black-faced captain turn out of the cabin, look up and say, "I'm sorry!" I'm going to spend the night on my ship today! ”

Xiaobao said timidly: "There is a big brother of the labor boat, and I don't know your honorable name, big brother......"

The black-faced captain did not reply, but sat on the side of the boat on the other side, sighed and said, "Idle is idle, you have to find something to do......"

He pulled out the cigarette stick on his waist, lit the fire and took a few sips, and smiled at my second uncle and Xiaobao.

"Would you like to hear a story?"
