Chapter One Hundred and Two

Weird salvage

Xiao Jiuhong was startled, which startled me, I subconsciously reached out and touched my face, but I didn't touch anything, it didn't hurt or itch. But Xiao Jiuhong's eyes widened, and she ran over to grab me, stretched out her fingertips, and touched me lightly on the face.

"How did you get this?" Xiao Jiuhong withdrew her hand, her face full of surprise.

"What the hell is going on!" I can't feel it myself, and I can't see it, but I can see Xiao Jiuhong opening her mouth slightly, looking incredible. I turned my head to look at Maitreya again, he didn't speak, but there were doubts in his expression, I was in a hurry, and said to them: "What the hell is wrong, but I said!" ”

"Your face is black." Maitreya smacked his lips and said, "It's dark." ”

"Yes, yes, it's dark." Xiao Jiuhong also nodded again and again, reached out and took out a small mirror from her body, handed it to me, and said, "Take a look for yourself." ”

I grabbed the mirror and looked at it, and my head immediately grew bigger. My face was indeed dark, and it looked like someone had drawn a spider web on my face with ink, which looked a little funny, but a little penetrating. I rubbed hard, and the black lines seemed to seep into the flesh, and the skin on my face hurt, but I still couldn't rub it off.

I suddenly began to panic, because I didn't know what this thing was, Maitreya found a place, a few of us squatted down, Xiao Jiuhong got some water to help me wipe it, but it still didn't work. I don't know if this thing will affect me, but my mind is still uncertain. I can't speak, just in the past few days, some things have happened in a row, maybe I can't accept it, and my thinking is unstable.

"It should be fine, isn't it painless and itchy?" Maitreya stretched out his hand and pinched my face, and said, "Don't worry, I'm always so sad, people, there is nothing important except death, as long as you can't lose your life, everything else is easy to say, it doesn't matter to you, at most it will be a little more difficult to marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"It's fine." Xiao Jiuhong blinked, and didn't know whether she was really stupid or fake, so she squatted beside me and said, "No one wants you, I'll accompany you." ”

"Alright." I wasn't made to cry by these two people, nor was I laughing.

The woman at the head of the old well is settled, and there is no point in us continuing to stay in the yellow sand field. The three of them cleaned up and quietly returned to Hu's house, intending to rest until dawn, and then say goodbye to the old blind man and leave. I couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, my mind was full of things. Now that I think about it, the ugly-faced man didn't say much, but some of the words I thought about felt like there was an article. In particular, he told me that it would be difficult to kill people like that without erasing the picture behind them.

Such a person must refer to the woman in the old well, and it can also be considered that he is a person from the west, what is he deliberately asking for? Did he expect that I would meet someone from the west in the future?

Thinking about these in my heart, and thinking about the black lines on my face, I didn't sleep for a while until almost dawn, and when I turned over and got up, Xiao Jiuhong happened to wake up with her eyes rubbing, looked up at me, and her eyes suddenly opened again.

"Yikes! What's wrong! Xiao Jiuhong stretched out her hand and touched my face: "What's wrong with your face!" ”

My heart was suddenly cold, I didn't know what was going on on my face, but I was already impatient to ask Xiao Jiuhong what to do, snatched her mirror, and took a look in front of her face.

Overnight, all the black lines on his face disappeared, and he returned to normal, and his face was very good. I looked left and right, and it was indeed no different from before, so I breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and asked her, "This is not good, what are you talking about." ”

"Isn't it strange that you have a face with bells and whistles and get better after a good night's sleep?" Xiao Jiuhong deliberately looked at my face and said, "It's really gone, those black lines." ”

I can't tell what it's all about, but the black line is gone, and my heart is a little more steady. We found the old blind man and said goodbye to him, the old blind man didn't know what happened in the tunnel last night, there was always a little sadness between the eyebrows, I don't want to say much, anyway, the matter of the old well is solved, and the villagers and the Hu family will be very down-to-earth in the future.

After leaving the Yellow Desert Field, I discussed with Maitreya, although I knew the secrets of the Hu family, but these things could not be used to coerce the Lu family, to see if I could think of something else. Maitreya looked at Xiao Jiuhong next to him and winked at me. I understood what he meant, but he couldn't do anything unfavorable to Xiao Jiuhong, everyone outside said that there was only such a daughter in the big row of teachers, if he really threatened the red lady with Xiao Jiuhong, the other party was likely to give in.

But I can't get over my conscience by doing this, and Xiao Jiuhong is because she believes in me and walks with me all the way. Without even thinking about it, I shook my head at Maitreya and rejected his suggestion. Maitreya spread his hands, saying that he had no choice but to take one step at a time.

On the vast Yellow River beach, how difficult should it be to deliberately find someone? It's no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, for the first time in the four or five days after leaving the yellow sand field, I feel tired, and now that I think about it, that shouldn't be the feeling that a teenager should have, but I'm really tired.

Secretly calculated, from the time I left Xiaopanhe to now, the days are not very short, the whole flood season is coming to an end, in the second half of the year, the river may fall, and those who are begging for a living in the river will be in place one after another. There are a lot of people who mine sand up and down in this section of the river in the Huangsha field, and there are also a lot of sand bubbles in the sand nest near the river beach.

As soon as the flood season passes, there are more days when the weather is clear, and the sky is blue on the river beach at that time. About half in the morning, we were looking for a boat carrying people by the river, and we walked dozens of miles from the waterway. But the boat had not yet been found, and about two or three miles away from it, a dark cloud suddenly floated out.

The clouds were not big, floating in the endless blue sky, and they could be seen at a glance, which was very strange. The dark clouds were suspended in mid-air, and a curtain of rain fell from the clouds. Faintly, you can still hear the sound of the motor of the ship. This strange dark cloud is like a black dot on a blue cloth that immediately catches our attention.

We immediately ran over to that side, and about two or three miles away, a large group of people gathered, very numerous, around a sand bubble that was at least a mile wide, and the dark cloud covered the bubble, and the rain of soybeans poured down. In the blister were two small boats, separated by more than ten meters, dragging a huge iron basket, which was usually used to comb the slower flow of the river, and some people used it to clean up the debris in the silt at the bottom of the fish pond. The two small boats drove from one end to the other, and from the other to this end, obviously fishing for something. There were at least a hundred and ten sturdy young men standing on the shore of the blister, with harpoons and spearguns in their hands, and a few tractors beside them.

The one-mile-wide sand bubble is already very big in the eyes of ordinary people, but the people who are on the river don't think so, the two small boats drive fast, and the whole water bubble is raked back and forth in the rain, they do it very carefully, if there is any big debris or something in the water, it will definitely be found.

We leaned over and secretly listened to the people next to the blisters, but in front of us was a curtain of rain, and we couldn't hear clearly, only what they said, why couldn't we find it for so long.

Then two small boats came to shore in the rain, and a few tractors pulled up the iron baskets in the water, which rarely had large pieces of debris in the sand nests, but when the iron baskets were pulled up, I saw a layer of white ice ballast on the rake.

"That's it, that's it!" Xiao Jiuhong hurriedly looked at me and said, "I didn't talk nonsense last time!" That's how our people fell into the water and froze! ”

Bang

There was a faint thunder from the sky, and the downpour on the blisters suddenly stopped. At this time, a few older people asked to put the iron basket down again, and they all seemed to be old people who spoke with weight in each village.

"We have worshiped the Dragon King, if we don't find this thing, it will harm us sooner or later!" A sturdy old man waved his arm and said, "Keep looking!" ”

"Third grandfather, I've searched back and forth a few times, but there's nothing in the water." The young man on the plane probed and said: "This thing is already weird, I have been looking for it for a day, even if I fall into it, I should find it." ”

"Don't chew my tongue with me! Get out of here and find it! You guys look for another trip, and then you will get off the boat and rest, and let the people from Plum Village change the class! The sturdy old man raised his eyebrows and said, "I've been on a boat all my life, and I've never seen anything strange!" Worship the Dragon King, all evils will not invade! Keep looking! ”

As he spoke, someone took a large whetstone, polished the tip of each tooth of the iron basket to shine, and then threw the basket into the water again. The two small boats started again, repeating their previous work. Next to the blister, there is an incense case tribute, inserted with three small arm-thick soil incense, where a few elderly people take turns to place, this is the routine rule of the old boatman, worship the dragon lord before entering the water, will keep the safety of a boatload of people.

Seeing this, I felt a little bottom in my heart, and Xiao Jiuhong was even more excited, because I had encountered such a thing before. Maitreya still ran to get close to someone, found a man in his forties, and wanted to ask things clearly.

"What are you looking for? What else is in the blister. ”

"It's nothing, I want to clear the blisters and raise some fish." The man's mouth was tight, and he casually made up a nonsense, and Maitreya smiled and pestered the people to ask.

At this time, a small machine boat that had just driven to the center of the water bubble suddenly seemed to be dragged by something, and the hull of the boat suddenly lifted and fell to the surface of the water. The iron basket in the water didn't know what to throw out, and hundreds of pounds of rakes rolled a few times like toys. In the blue sky and white day, I could see very clearly, and there were a few pieces of bloody flesh on the black iron basket.

In an instant, the dark clouds that had stopped raining suddenly pressed down heavily, and the clouds were so close to the water that they could almost be touched by reaching out.
