Chapter 21: The Ghost of the Yellow River (Continued 2)
This boat can really only be said to be eleven boats, because it hardly has any safety measures except for being able to float on the river, and even the deck where we are standing is shaking in the place where the current of the Yellow River is concentrated, I don't move the boat, but I also know that such a fishing boat does not have the ability to fish at all.
Because the cabin is too small and broken, we chose to sit on the deck, the weather is excellent, and the blue sky and white clouds are comfortable.
"What do you call my brother?"
"The surname is He."
I handed over a cigarette, and the old boatman looked at me very vigilantly, and did not stretch out his hand to take it, so I smiled, walked over and gave it to him, and lit it for him, and said, "What is the name of my brother?" ”
"The surname is Wu."
I was stunned, looked back at Xiao Wu who was sitting there, turned my head and simply sat opposite him, and said, "Then we were still a family five hundred years ago." ”
The old boatman was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled, his nervous mood relaxed a lot, took a puff of cigarette, looked at us with some doubts in his eyes, and said, "You are from the Wu family?" ”
I heard some stories about this, but I didn't dare to answer rashly, so I just said: "The surname is Wu, but our family is in Beijing, and we are from the capital." ”
The old boatman nodded with relief, and took another puff of his cigarette, and the smoke ring he spit out showed that it was an old smoking gun.
"It's good if not." After that, he stretched out his head to look ahead, and advised: "Sit tight, the front is the range of quicksand village, if you hear something, remember not to speak, just close your eyes and sit firmly." ”
I nodded in agreement, but I was very curious, there were many legends in the Yellow River generation in ancient times, and there were countless strange things from ancient times to the present, if I met it this time. It wasn't a trip in vain, but I immediately dispelled the idea, we were here to do business, or it was better to cross the river safely.
But sometimes it's not what you want to do, some things are predestined, and there is no way to avoid them.
As soon as the fishing boat entered the quicksand bay, the situation arose. It was still sunny and white just now, and then there was a sudden wind, followed by the lead cloud cover, which may be the reason why the clouds were not thick enough, and the sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the clouds, forming golden pillars of light.
The wind was getting stronger, the clouds were getting thicker, and we all stood up because of the high winds. The boat was blown to the side, and we barely managed to balance hand in hand, and before the wind had passed, the rain had already come, and the raindrops the size of pigeon's eggs crackled down, as if someone had thrown stones in the sky, and it hurt especially on the head.
The old captain's face turned pale, and he still had the cigarette in his hand. Because I was closest to him, he took my hand first. As he walked into the cabin, he waved his hand and shouted at Xiao Wu and them: "Come in, the river ghost has collected people, you can't stay on the deck, hurry up." ”
Xiao Wu and Xiao Dong are both good people, although the hull of the ship is shaking badly. But their movements were not slow, they ran over in three or two, and the captain of the boat pushed the three of us into the cabin and was about to close the hatch, I counted, this number is not right. Suddenly remembered Mu Jia, I hadn't seen him since I got on the boat just now, stopped the boat boss, and said, "We still have one person." ”
As he was talking, Mu Jia rushed in from outside, he was soaking wet, and there was a lot of yellow mud on his back, I looked strange, but I didn't ask, just let people in first, and the boat boss threw out a few shabby clothes to us, saying, "Quickly change into them, otherwise the river ghost will hold on to them." ”
I picked up one of them in disbelief, and the clothes were all embroidered with a sigil in red thread, and each of them was there, and the embroidery was not obvious at the cuffs.
I first changed out of wet clothes, and then threw the remaining three to the three of them, these three people looked like they were fed by brocade clothes and jade, and they all looked extremely disgusted and wanted to go up and beat people, but I didn't do it in the end, just swallowed a breath and said seriously: "Young masters, don't pick, if you don't want to feed the fish, hurry up and change it." ”
Mu Jia was okay, he didn't say a word, he just glanced at me, and then he changed into a gray robe, and then Xiaodong, this child looked thinner than us, so he wore a white one, I handed over the last black one, Xiao Wu didn't even look at it and was still on the side, I looked at him, and said in my heart that your eldest brother Wu Yue is not as hypocritical as you, wait to feed the fish Lao Tzu will not save you.
I picked up my clothes and handed them to him, saying, "Anything can happen on the Yellow River Ancient Road, don't fold here because of willfulness, understand?" ”
As the saying goes, no one is perfect, no matter how much you have personality and ability, you will be lacking in a certain aspect, if you talk about Xiao Wu's shortcomings, I'm afraid this is it, he has a very serious cleanliness habit.
There was a storm outside, the hull of the ship shook very badly, and the boat boss protected his wife while also holding me back.
Seeing that the ship was about to capsize, Mu Jia suddenly opened the hatch, and at that moment, I saw a white arm-thick thing flash out of the hatch, and I immediately asked the ship boss, "What is that?" ”
The ship's eyes widened and the whole person was stunned, I asked him several times before he came to his senses, pointed at us tremblingly, and said, "You, there are people from the Wu family among you, we, we will all die here." ”
I thought he was frightened and confused, and said sharply: "What nonsense, what's wrong with the Wu family, is it possible that the Wu family can't come to this quicksand bay?" ”
Mu Jia suddenly changed his attention after hearing the words of the ship boss, he suddenly opened the hatch must have wanted to do something, but at this moment he closed the hatch again, sat on the ground and looked at us, and finally focused his eyes on the ship boss and said, "Say it clearly." ”
At this time, the fishing boat has begun to spin, Rao is that I like to do thrilling projects such as roller coasters, but I still can't cover this situation, but I am already dizzy in a few seconds, and a few mouthfuls of yellow water spit out.
The boat boss and they sail all year round, I don't know how many times they have encountered this situation, they can naturally resist it, although Xiao Dong and Xiao Wu are also pale, but at least they still maintain their composure, Mu Jia is a person, there is nothing wrong at all.
"Say, why do you say that the Wu family is here, we will die." Mu Jia was still asking.
The boat boss sighed and said: "Although there are many people surnamed Wu in the world, none of these people dare to come to Liushazhuang, because they are all cursed, and all the people surnamed Wu will be eaten by river ghosts once they get close to Liusha Bay, because the Wu family did something harmful to heaven and reason more than a hundred years ago, and God punished them." ”
I listened to it funny, endured vomiting and said: "Nonsense, even if the ancestor of the Wu family did something, it is also a matter of the previous life, what does it have to do with the descendants of the Wu family, besides, not all the people surnamed Wu are the descendants of the old ancestor who committed the crime, is it possible that this river ghost can still distinguish the true from the false?" ”
The old captain's sharp gaze swept in front of the four of us, and finally looked at Xiao Wu and said, "You are the only one in the Wu family here, right?" ”
Xiao Wu probably didn't expect this sick ship boss to lock on to the target so quickly, and he was 100% right. (To be continued.) )
