Qianjue stood very vigilantly in front of me and Xiao Wu, staring at the fishing boat that was constantly approaching us, but fortunately there was a large rocky beach in front of it, and it was difficult for this boat to come over.

I asked him why he said that, Qianjue said that there are often ghost ships here, so I asked him curiously why, what he expressed was that Zhang Yang's intelligence system had intercepted a secret telegram from Shandong, and after translation, it showed a sentence, "Yellow River Bay, ghosts on the bridge, and lonely lightboats fall in the middle of the night." ”

After listening to this, Xiao Wu took the second half of the sentence, "Quicksand Village, the ghost goes down the bridge, and the dark lantern can't run away." ”

I listened and winked my eyes, "Children's songs, or folk slippery." ”

Xiao Wu said: "At this time, the Yellow River generation has been circulating a proverb for a long time, so the generation of Liushazhuang is called the ghost land, plus the terrain of this place is dangerous, on the surface it is nothing, but there are no less than 100 deep valley caves under the river beach, so there are often shipwrecks in this place, and the shipwrecks can not be found." ”

Qian Jue continued: "That's right, the underwater terrain of the Quicksand Village generation is dangerous, and there are many large and ferocious freshwater fish and unknown creatures that survive. ”

I said, "In that case, why didn't anyone talk about it when the Yellow River was renovated, and no one reported it?" ”

Qian Jue shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Boss, how can this kind of thing be reported indiscriminately before there is real evidence, even if you say it, you can't come up with evidence, it is a rumor, the Yellow River Basin is very important for economic development, once this kind of rumor spreads, then it will be okay, besides, this paragraph is not the main section, who will pursue it." ”

I nodded. After all, there are still few people in this place. Even fishing boats don't have to be here, besides. If you really want what Xiao Wu said, the underwater terrain is complicated, the caves and pits are next to each other, and there are some large and short-tempered fish, then the fishing boat will suffer, even if you really catch something in the net, no one dares to ask for it.

As he spoke, the fishing boat came closer, though I didn't believe in the idea that a ghost ship summoned spirits. But the three watchmen were quite scared to see this in the middle of the night, and they were busy telling everyone to leave, anyway, no one came at night, so it was better to go back and find a place to sleep first, and talk about it tomorrow.

Because the terrain is more difficult, we don't want to waste time, and it's not safe to walk this kind of mountain road in the dark, so we rest in a cave away from the river beach because there is no campfire. So the feeling of cold and damp was really uncomfortable, but because I was tired, I fell asleep quickly.

At dawn, Xiao Wu was the first to wake us up. He said there was actually a boat parked outside, and it was the same fishing boat from last night.

Qianjue and I looked at each other. The heart said, wasn't it the ghost ship last night? Not an illusion.

The three of them quickly came to the river beach, and sure enough. A "master" version of a fishing boat was docked on the edge of the river, and because the situation was unknown, I told everyone not to act rashly, and then suggested that I should go up and have a look first.

Xiao Wu originally wanted to refuse, but Qian Jue agreed very much, not only that, but he also smiled at me, which made me feel very strange.

When I climbed aboard the boat, I found that it was all wood from the inside out, and there was not a single steel nail on it, and the cabin was very clean, but very damp, and it felt like the boat had been soaked in water for a long time, and the wood was soaked with water.

I went inside again, and under the cabin was the warehouse, which had nothing special except for boxes and boxes of porcelain, and just as I was about to come out, suddenly there was a clanging sound under my feet, and the sound was crisp, and I looked down curiously, and it turned out to be a very small gold medal, and I picked it up and wiped off the yellow mud on it, and a word made me almost scream.

Bright.

That's right, it's the word "Ming".

This gold medal is the size of a palm, square, surrounded by dragons, with Ming characters engraved on one side and traditional "Liu" characters on the other side.

I don't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty, except for some major historical events, the rest are also half-understood and hearsay.

I clutched the gold medal in my hand, jumped out in three or two steps, stood on the deck and greeted the two of them, who saw that I had something in my hand and immediately flipped onto the wooden boat.

Xiao Wu and Qianjue are both masters of treasure appreciation, they just glanced at each other, exchanged information with each other's eyes, and then listened to Qianjue say: "This is not an ordinary fishing boat, it seems to be a cargo ship disguised as a fishing boat, all of them are the number of Jin Sinan, the cost of this boat is expensive, and you see." ”

Qian Jue made a dagger on the deck, he picked up the sawdust and looked at it carefully, and continued: "This ship seems to have been soaked in water for a long time, and the moisture is trapped in the sawdust, if it weren't for this ship to do very good waterproofing measures, I'm afraid that even if it is Jin Sinan, it will rot." ”

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, but he said that this is only a superficial theoretical conclusion, in fact, from the details of the ship's construction, labor materials and the layout of the ship, it can be seen that the construction age of the ship can be traced back to the early Ming Dynasty, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang's time, or even earlier.

Moreover, a ship like this, let alone soaked in water, is estimated to rot if it is placed in a museum for hundreds of years, but the ship in front of us, except for the damp wood and the faint smell of the Yellow River, everything else is intact, and it can even be said to be solid.

For these questions of ours, Qian Jue only gave one conclusion, that is, the Yellow River can give us ordinary people some unexplainable facts, rather than pursuing this, it is better to thank the Yellow River for sending us such a ghost boat, because we must set off immediately, otherwise we will really not be able to catch up with Xiaodong and them.

To be honest, Qianjue's words are not unreasonable, although this boat is weird, but as long as it can be used, it is much safer than us crossing the Yellow River alone.

By the time the sun came out, we had already boarded the boat, and strange to say, since we got on the boat, it was as if the boat could move on its own, and although it was not fast, it had gradually moved away from the rocky beach and began to move with the current.

"Where to go first?" I asked.

"Go to Sichuan first, the ancestral home of the Guan family."

"What if they're not there?"

"No, the information left by Xiaodong will not be wrong, besides, no one among them can understand the Huangquan ciphertext, even if they are holding the maid to find immortals, they can't understand it, they need to find someone from the Xiao family to help."

Qianjue glanced back at me, "Boss, there's something I want to tell you." ”

"What?"

Qian Jue said: "I seem to have seen Guan Yue on the way here. ”

This news is simply a great thing for me, because there have always been many scattered clues that cannot be solved around Guan Yue, and if this person does not appear for a day, there will be no answers to many things.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"In Longquan District, Sichuan, when I saw him, I thought it was you, but when I saw that he had a pierced left ear, I knew it wasn't you."

"Really, exactly like me?" I'm a little unsure.

Qian Jue nodded, pointed to his left earlobe and said, "If it weren't for that stud, I really thought it was you." ”

I said, "There must be something mysterious about that stud earring, by the way, what was he doing when you saw him?" ”

"I'm working as a waiter."

Qianjue's words even Xiaodong felt unbelievable, although he also had questions, but he didn't say anything, and then continued to turn his head to stare at the river, the river was unexpectedly quiet, and the silence made me feel that it was not on the Yellow River, but in a lake.

The boat stopped on a shallow beach full of white stones, and I don't know if it was stranded or what, anyway, it just didn't move, Xiao Wu used the map brought by Qianjue to check the terrain here, but unfortunately, there is no such a white rocky beach on the map, originally we wanted to call up all the topographic data about the map of the Yellow River flowing through the network connection database for sixty years, but unfortunately, there is no network.
