"Lingling!" At that moment, I was stunned, almost unable to believe my eyes. I watched her shatter into powder like a mud fetus eroded by time, mixed with the dust of the world. My painful heart twitched, and I wished I hadn't seen anything, but everything in front of me, and what Lingling had just said, was like an imprint in my heart. I flipped over desperately. I wanted to lunge at the place where she fell.

As soon as I moved, I was held down by a hand, and my father's call was heard in my ears. Daddy's voice was real and clear, and it woke me up from the chaos. My eyes opened, and the wilderness in front of me was still a wilderness, calm as usual, and I couldn't see the shattered shadow of the spirit, nor could I see her body turned into dust.

"Near the water, what's wrong with you?" Daddy touched my forehead, his face was covered with sweat, and I exhaled slightly, feeling an indescribable relief in my heart.

It's just a dream. It's just a dream. But at the same time, relaxed. I feel very uneasy again, if there are no accidents. How could I possibly have such a dream? The dream was so ominous that when I woke up, my heart was still throbbing with pain. I don't know what this dream represents, but the search for the spirit is even more urgent. Island fork per stroke.

"Daddy." I'll look at Dad. Ask him, "What is love?" ”

"I can't tell." Dad shook his head, he said little, rarely showed emotion, but at this time a sentence seemed to touch him, he looked up in the direction of the Xiaopan River, and said: "I only know that if I think about a person in my heart, I will always think about it, and no one can squeeze in if my heart is full." ”

I know that Dad may still be thinking about his mother, and although he doesn't say anything, he does it. The women of the Zhou family are very good to him, they have been taking care of him for so many years, his father is not a stone, he also knows love and love, but because he still has his mother in his heart, he has always been silent about the women of the Zhou family, and he does not give each other any name, nor does he have any commitments.

I think that the mother who is under Jiuquan should be happy, she has been gone for so many years, but in another world, there is a man who misses her so much.

"Close to water." Dad touched my head and said, "There are many things that we can't control, just do our best." As long as you do your best, no matter whether you succeed or fail, at least yourself, you have a clear conscience. ”

I talked with my dad outside for one night, and I knew that he was right, many things come from the number of days, and they can't be reversed, but I was extremely unwilling. At dawn the next day, the team set off again, to avoid being spotted in pursuit after staying in one place for too long. I made up my mind, explained a few words to my father, and left alone. Lingling has always been a piece of my heart, no matter what happens to her, I must find her.

I moved a little closer to the riverbank, and then chose a path and walked slowly, all the way, all the way, all the way. After the mutation of the Great River, the Holy Domain Jiuli and the side gate had already been safe, and they were all waiting for the disaster of the Great River to break out, but the Bad Luck Divine Fetus appeared, and they had no choice but to start moving around again, the main purpose was to find me, to find the people of the Seven Gates. The villages along the coast are already unstable, and these people are messing around again, and they encounter a lot of situations along the way, but they endure it and do not have a conflict with them.

I didn't have any goal at all, I didn't know where the spirit would be, and there was no hint of that abrupt ominous dream, so I had to wander around to find it. In seven or eight days, he wandered along the river beach for more than 200 miles. The weather is getting warmer, and the boatmen who have rested for the winter should have gone down to the river to sail, but as soon as the river changes, people are panicked, and there are very few people who enter the water, and often they can't see a boat for twenty or thirty miles. In the morning, near the riverbank, I saw two small boats, one of which had a dark red flag. On the old river beach, there are stereotypes that have lasted for many years between all walks of life and sects, and those stereotypes have become a kind of symbol. The flag had a water pattern embroidered with silk thread, and above the water pattern was a flame mark, and when I saw this, I knew it was the ship of the Sand Gang. The sand gang is mainly engaged in sand mining, but when they encounter parallel goods out of the river, they will also salvage them, which is called "cutting fire" in their jargon. The sand gang's boat hoisted a fire flag, which means that the gang is salvaging something.

Because of Han Yue and Han Cheng, the relationship between Qimen and the Sand Gang is very close, so after finding out that it was the boat of the Sand Gang, I quickened my pace and approached, these people usually drift in the big river, walking east and west, and they are very well-informed, I want to inquire about the situation by the way. There are people on the river bank who are on guard against the wind, and the other party is very vigilant at first, but after seeing me, he immediately became very enthusiastic, and a few of them caught up with the wind, and some ran back to the boat to report the news.

"Uncle, what a coincidence." An elderly sand worker was smiling all over his face, everyone in the sand gang knew that I was married to Han Yue at the beginning, and the elderly people in the sand gang had always followed Han Cheng and called me uncle, this title was too awkward, and I couldn't speak.

After a few words of greeting with the other party, the person in charge of the ship came over, the relationship between the two sides was so good, he didn't hide it, and told the truth about it. I was not short of money, and I was not interested in parallel trading, but as soon as the other party told me, I immediately fell in love.

"It's been about two days." The person in charge touched his head and thought about it, and said: "It was two days ago, a few dogs from the side door ran here from the boat side of the estuary, it seems that the thieves are sneaky, we are not on the right road with the side door, and this is not their land, so as soon as a few dog days appeared, the brothers were eyed." ”

There have been a few vicious fights between the side gate and the sand gang, and there is already a deep grudge, and when the people of the sand gang see this side door ship, they know that it is not a boat that passes through the road, and it is estimated that they are going to do something. The sand gang remained silent and kept observing secretly, but in fact, he thought of sneaking up on the other party.

"The brothers have been mixing in the river for so many years, and there is water in their eyes." The person in charge said: "The king of the side door must be fishing for something important here, let's think, after they fish up the things, go over and grab them directly." ”

The people of the sand gang stared at the boat by the side gate from mid-afternoon until late at night, and in the middle of the night of the same day, the boat at the side gate suddenly sank without warning, and the whole boat, along with six or seven people on board, sank to the bottom of the water silently. Things are a bit strange and a bit evil, but those people in the sand gang think that what the side door wants to get involved must be good things, so as soon as the side gate's boat sank, the sand gang immediately transferred some people and two boats to continue salvaging and see what was under the water.

"Uncle, you stay on the shore, I'll tell the brothers to catch a few fish, let's have a few drinks."

I looked up at the river, which was very gentle, and it was the season of winter and spring, and the bottom of the river was relatively low. I didn't want to waste my time meddling in things I shouldn't be meddle in, but just looking at it, I always felt that there was an inexplicable attraction under the water, which was constantly attracting me. Because of this, I simply stayed and wanted to see what the sandband could get out of the water.

The men below caught a few fish, opened the fire and stewed on the shore, and the principal and a few old fellows came ashore to eat and drink with me. As we drank, the two boats of the Sand Gang swam slowly back and forth in the wreck of the shipwreck at the side gate, both of which were dragging water plows, which were huge iron baskets that searched for larger objects from under the water. It dragged back and forth for about half an hour, and nothing was found. The person in charge didn't care, this was not a matter of importance, it was best if it could be fished, and nothing would be lost if it could not be fished.

"Uncle, have another glass" The principal drank a few glasses of wine, his face turned red, sprayed with wine, and said, "Uncle, where are you going?" Make a lot of trouble with your brothers, and when this side is done, we'll send you away."

boom

Before I could reply, the two boats that were wandering back and forth by the river suddenly stopped in unison, as if the plough under the water had suddenly hooked something. The sand mining boat of the sand gang has a deep draft, equipped with a motor, and has strong power, but the two boats roared together, but they were hooked to death and could not move. The situation was a bit unexpected, and several people who were drinking stood up together and looked up at the other side.

"I guess I encountered something, and I was under the water." The principal dropped his glass, pulled his legs and ran in that direction, and before he could run over, the two hooked boats suddenly broke free, could not contain their strength, and swished far away.

"The stuff under the water can't be suppressed! It's going to turn over the sand! "There is an old man with a hat on the boat shouting loudly, the people on the river beach are very superstitious, when a big gang like the sand gang goes out to do more important business, they will take the people who press the boat, and the people who press the boat are basically Shenhan or Maoshan Taoist priests, who specialize in dealing with unclean and dirty things.

Wow

There was a splash on the surface of the river, and the turbid waves were rolling, and it was bubbling like a pot. The water of the river was originally muddy and yellow, but at this time, a group of us clearly saw that the flood of water was as scarlet as blood. The ship-batter, holding a peachwood sword, jumped up and down at the bow of the ship, shouting and screaming, but after shouting twice, blood-red splashes rushed to the bow of the boat, and he rolled on the spot.

Wow

There was another surge of water, and I saw a bow standing upright on the water. Someone next to him glanced twice, and said in a lost voice: "It's the shipwreck of the turtle grandsons at the side door!" How a good self has come up again! ”

At this time, the inexplicable attraction on the surface of the river became stronger, like a magnet, firmly attracting my attention. It was a shipwreck, and it had sunk to the bottom of the river for a short time, and it slowly floated straight under the water. When the bow of the boat was three or four meters above the water, the people next to it were stunned.

On the bow of this wreck, there were six or seven people hanging in a row, sticking out their tongues like hanged ghosts, and they were slowly shaking with the ups and downs of the wreck.
