Chapter 5: The Shipwreck
I returned to Jiangxin Island, said hello to my cheap dad Mo Deqian, and then hurried back to my Mo Jiang.
Mo Deqian, the old man, has been getting more and more verbose recently, very annoying, maybe he feels that his body is getting worse and worse, Mo Deqian is always nagging in my ear, saying that he has little time, but unfortunately there is no grandson to hug, and he doesn't bat at death or anything, and he keeps nagging, which is really annoying.
"You like children, why don't I go outside and pick one up and raise it for you?" I once said to Cheap Daddy Mo Deqian.
As a result, my words made the old man so angry that he jumped straight to his feet on crutches, and he almost fainted from the air.
I hurriedly held him up, if I fell again, I Mo Jiang also had a headache, no matter what I said, Cheap Daddy Mo Deqian has raised me for so many years, I Mo Jiang is not ungrateful, and now Mo Deqian has become my Mo Jiang's heart disease.
"I wonder if Hu Sanniang can have children?" I sometimes think.
"Bah, bah..."
Then I immediately regretted it, how could I, Mo Jiang, have such a ridiculous idea.
"Alas, trouble. ”
Back at the houseboat, I instructed a group of children to drive the boat toward the Nu River, and I slipped headlong into my own private room in the cabin.
"Boss, do you really want to go to the Nu River?
"What's inside the Nu River?"
"It's water, boss. ”
"Will I Mo Jiang be afraid of water?"
"Before I get to the Nu River, don't bother me, don't bother me with big things, I want to sleep well. I said to Double Happiness and Ah Fa.
I was going to sleep and go down to the river, but when I thought of the little girl, I couldn't fall asleep, and the sky was getting dark, and the moon rose from the river.
Unexpectedly, when I Mo Jiang was also upset, I put on a single coat and sat on the window of the room.
The window was not much higher than the side of the ship, and I sat on the windowsill, and my feet reached into the river, and the sparkling water under the moon turned into a cloud of silver under the agitation of my feet, and even the moon in the river became fragmented.
"This little girl doesn't live more than twenty. ”
Thinking of Fan's words, I gritted my teeth with hatred, I didn't know whether to hate Fan, to hate God, or both.
Thinking of the sad face of the shopkeeper Mo of Renji Pharmacy, I was even more worried.
"Twenty-twenty, in seven days, the little girl will be seventeen years old, maybe the actual age is a little older, if Fan's words are true, then the little girl will only have less than three years of life!"
"No! Even if it's a life for a life, I, Mo Jiang, will never allow the little girl to make any mistakes!"
"But what should I do? I can't help it, I don't know how to use medicine, let me catch fish, this medical skill is a dry pin and blowing the wind, I don't know anything." ”
"And I'm afraid that ordinary doctors can't cure this disease, little girl!"
"The little girl's illness waits for no one, no, it can't be done like this, I have to go far away, even if I visit famous doctors all over the world, I Mojiang must give it a try!"
"As for the cheap dad Mo Deqian, it seems that I have to trouble the shopkeeper Mo to help take care of it. ”
"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow, and I'll have a little more chance to leave a day early, it seems that I have to celebrate the little girl's birthday in advance." ”
I, Mo Jiang, decided to help the little girl celebrate her birthday tomorrow, and then I went around looking for famous doctors, I believe that there must be a famous doctor in this world who can cure this congenital foot disease.
"Do you want to bring the little girl with you?"
.....
Shuangxi and Ah Fa are rowing, the boat is moving forward in the river, the moon in the sky is drilling in and out of the dark clouds like cotton wool, the river is bright and dark, and the fragrance of the beans and wheat on both sides and the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river is mixed with the water vapor blowing in the face.
The moonlight was hazy, and the dark undulating mountains were like the back of a monster, constantly running towards the stern of the boat, and a few fishing fires could be seen in the distance.
Soon, clumps of pine and cypress trees appeared on both sides of the bank, and you could see a broken stone horse lying in the barren grass, and a three-eyed stone sheep, this place is called Ranma Beach, it is all grass, and there are snakes in it, we never come here in normal times.
After the Ranma Beach, the boat bypassed a large area of pine and cypress, turned into a fork river next to it, the water surface of the fork river suddenly narrowed, the river became very turbid, this fork river is the Nu River.
The water of the Nu River is turbulent and the waves are turbulent, like thousands of horses galloping.
The Nu River is narrow, with smooth black stone rock walls on both sides, and the whole mountain seems to have been split by someone with an axe, giving people a feeling of ghostly craftsmanship and shocking.
At this time, the boat also slowly stopped.
"Boss, the Nu River has arrived!"
This is the Nu River, the source of the Nu River is said to come from the distant Snow Mountain, along the steep terrain all the way down, to here it joins the Songjiang River, the Nu River water is turbulent, the river water is cold and piercing, countless torrents underflow, hidden under the turbid river surface, the surface looks very calm river, there may be a terrifying whirlpool below, and it is said that there is a whirlpool that keeps moving.
From the blood-red reef standing on both sides of the riverbank, it can be seen that this is indeed a fierce water, fishermen from all over the country, no one will come to the Nu River to fish, everyone knows that there are 'ghosts' under this water.
I've been to this river when I was fishing before, and in my experience, not to mention fish, I am afraid that not even a mud snail will exist in this kind of ghost place.
I touched the cold and biting Nujiang River with my hand, and immediately regretted it in my heart, I really shouldn't have agreed to Hu Sanniang.
But I, Mo Jiang, am credible, since I promised Hu Sanniang to go to the bottom of Qianzhang Lake to touch the sunken ship, then I have to go, even if it is Daoshan and Ice Sea, I Mo Jiang will also go to the troubled water.
The boat entered the Nu River, and after about three more hours of sailing upstream, large and small broken stones began to appear on both sides of the Nu River, and huge stalagmite pillars stood in the middle of the large and large areas of rocks.
Driving upstream again a pillar of incense kung fu, the rock wall top of the strange rocks are craggy, many huge stalagmite pillars are on top of a boulder, the boulder is several times larger than the stalagmite pillar below, look at it from a distance, like a stone mushroom, inlaid on the mountain wall, people have to worry, the boulder on these stalagmite pillars may roll down from the top of the stalagmite pillar at any time.
From the faces of Shuangxi and Ah Fa, I could see the horror in their hearts, I gently patted Shuangxi and Ah Fa on the shoulder, and told them that with me Mo Jiang here, everything should not be worried.
The ship went around a huge stalagmite pillar, and a long, deep valley appeared next to it, which was the arrival of the Netherworld.
The Netherworld Gorge was eerily quiet, not even a trace of insects and birds, this place was so eerie that my heart hung in the air.
I began to regret coming to this ghost place, but I, Mo Jiang, gritted my teeth, since I promised Hu Sanniang, then I Mo Jiang will never break my word, I Mo Jiang is honest.
At the end of the Netherworld Gorge, there is a cliff, the cliff is engraved with the three words of the hundred-year-old cliff, emitting a faint cold light in the moonlight, this cliff is even more weird.
"What's that protruding?" asked Shuangxi as he suddenly pointed to the black stump of a tree that looked like it had grown from a smooth cliff on the hundred-year-old cliff.
"That's a coffin, a hanging coffin!" I've heard the adults say. Ah Fa glanced in the direction of Shuangxi's finger and blurted out.
100-year-old cliff hanging coffin!
My eyes came into contact with the black hanging coffin on the cliff, and my heart shook.
The corner of my right eye jumped, and this place gave me a very strange and dangerous feeling!
I Mo Jiang really regret it, this place is too evil, I'm not afraid of dealing with living creatures in the water, but if it's a dead thing, or to be precise, a dead thing that can run and jump, I Mo Jiang doesn't have a trick!
I took a sharp breath of cold air, calmed down, and looked left and right at the surrounding cliffs, there was a small waterfall hanging on the cliff around the cliff, it was the dry season, and the waterfall was very thin.
Mo Jiang stopped at the edge of the pool, I gritted my teeth, I was ready to go into the water, since I promised Hu Sanniang, then even if I Mo Jiang went to the gate of the Hades Palace, I had to go, I Mo Jiang was honest.
Shuangxi handed me a bottle of 'Burning Knife', this 'Burning Knife' is a kind of spirit, the strongest liquor bought from the Song Family Distillery in the town, and it is also the strongest liquor in the entire Luxing Town.
The fishermen in Luxing Town all know that if you have to go into the cold water, buy a bottle of burning knives from the Duanjia Burning Workshop in advance, and take a sip before going into the water to warm up the cold and not get sick, then wine is better than good medicine.
I unplugged the flask, and when I looked up to the sky, I poured a large mouthful of burning knives into my throat, and this 'burning knife' into my throat was like swallowing a red-hot knife, and my throat was hot, and it rolled into my stomach, and then my whole body burned.
I kept taking deep breaths, my stomach gradually swelled, and I had to inhale enough air to stay underwater for a long time.
My stomach was swollen like a ball, and I was ready to go into the water.
I twisted my neck, twisted my shoulders, twisted my waist and legs, and then I took a harpoon, put a waist-high air gourd on my back, and tied an unfinished 'burning knife' wine gourd around my waist, and ran in place for a while, and a fierce man plunged into the water of Qianzhang Pool.
"Boss, be careful!" came the voices of Double Happiness and Ah Fa behind him.
"No matter what happens, you are absolutely not allowed to go into the water, this is an order!"
Before I entered the water, I turned around and shouted to Ah Fa and Double Happiness.
The water of Qianzhang Lake was cold and bitterly cold, and I Mo Jiang plunged into the pool, and the surrounding pool water suddenly rushed over, submerging my whole body, and I disappeared from the sight of Shuangxi and Ah Fa.
I subconsciously turned my head to look at the boat, and vaguely saw Shuangxi and Ah Fa kneeling on the deck and kowtowing to the hanging coffins of the hundred-year-old cliff opposite.
I parted my hands and flicked my legs, like a swimming fish, diving towards Qianzhang Lake.
At the bottom of the Mojiang ship, a string of thumb-thick mud beads fell off the bottom of the boat, like a swarm of tadpoles, following me and diving down with me to the bottom of the pool.
These mud beads are my Mo Jiang's secrets, secrets that even Mo Deqian doesn't know.
These black mud beads are my patron saints, and they will follow me as long as I go into the water.
As long as it's in the water, I can feel their presence, these black mud beads, like a part of my body, although I can't actively summon them for anything right now.
The surrounding water slowly became darker, and the visibility became lower and lower, but it was difficult for me Mo Jiang, even if it was a loach that got into the mud, it couldn't escape from my Mo Jiang's fingers.
The further I dived, the more cold the water in Qianzhangtan became, my hands and ten fingers were numb, if it was someone else, this place would definitely be their limit, but who is Mo Jiang, the king of the river, the limit of others is not the limit of my Mo Jiang.
