Soon, the three of us returned home with Uncle Mu and Hasina, and without too many words, we all returned to the room.

When the fat man was about to blow out the candle flame to sleep, Li Baqiu interrupted him with a loud voice, "Fat man, why are you in such a hurry to sleep, we still have something to figure out." ”

The sea fat man is a ghost and a ghost, and he knew what Li Baqiu wanted to ask as soon as he heard it, and he smiled and didn't answer, he directly took off the clothes on his upper body and handed them to him, and the two of them were inexplicable for a while.

Seeing that the two of us were stunned, the fat man shook his head helplessly, took his clothes again and flipped them inside and out, and dropped out a blanket similar to felt inside, and said, "Do you know what this is?" ”

"I don't know—" I both shook my head at the same time.

In this regard, the fat man of the sea had a posture of hating iron but not steel, pouting and continuing: "This is a sobering felt, do you remember the Xiqi Three Treasures in the tomb of Yin Shang Daji?" That's one of the treasures. ”

"Decanting felt?"

Li Baqiu took the clothes in the hand of the fat man from the sea suddenly, and looked left and right, looking left and right, it seemed that it was hard to believe that the blanket sewn into the top of the fat man was the legendary treasure: the sobering felt.

It was only at this time that I understood the mystery of this, it turned out that the fat man of the sea had a sobering felt body that woke up immediately and was not drunk with a thousand cups, no wonder he would be so unscrupulous and fearless, and dare to lie down and fight with the old snake's head.

After learning about the methods of the fat man, the three of us did not have the leisure to continue chatting, and directly slept separately, waiting for the dawn to set off by water.

After a night of silence, and soon it was another day, the three of us got up early and began to pack the necessary equipment for the trip. It wasn't until Hassina prepared breakfast and we had a simple meal that Uncle Mu led us towards the place designated by the old snakehead.

When we walked past the place where Xing Ying and the others had set up their tents before, they had already withdrawn from the camp and set off, and it was obvious that a silent race was raging between the two of us.

The designated place of the old snake head is located at a vein of Fuxian Lake, not far from the thatched house of the old snake head, and when we arrived, the old snake head was already waiting on the bow of the boat.

There were two ships on this trip, connected by a rope, one for him to return, and the other for the three of us to sail into the mountain valley, according to the old serpent's words.

However, one thing that makes us feel strange is that there is a chicken and a duck tied to the bow of the boat where the old snake's head is located.

After a while of greetings, we put all the salutes we carried on the wooden boat wrapped in iron sheets in the back, while we and the others stayed on the wooden boat in front of the old snakehead.

After we waved goodbye to Uncle Mu, the old snake head leaned on his waist and a pole, and the boat slid out like a sword out of the sheath, gliding on the clear water with great speed.

The Fuxian Lake basin here is not too wide, like a long snake swimming into the distance. The mountains on both sides are steep and steep, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, which is simply beautiful, no wonder it has the reputation of Fuxian Lake.

I am an authentic landlubber, and this is the first time in my life that I have taken a boat, and I am somewhat inexplicably excited. Whether it's the waves in the water or the fish jumping out of the water, I always look at it first, and I am full of curiosity.

Among us, the sea fat man is the best one in the water, Li Baqiu is second, fortunately, no one among the three of us is seasick, otherwise this trip will undoubtedly increase the difficulty.

I tossed for a while, and finally stopped looking left and right under the voice of the fat man. Then he asked the old snakehead, "I said the old snakehead, can you tell us what a chicken and a duck are tied to the bow of this boat?" It's not because we're afraid we'll get hungry on the way and cook it, right? ”

Li Baqiu is also very curious, judging from the various deeds he has seen when he travels south and north, he will definitely not think that it is as simple as what the fat man said, there must be some little-known secrets in it.

The old snake head shook the two oars, and said with a smile as he shook it: "Hehe, do you know why only my old snake head can pass through this water safely? ”

"You don't mean to rely on them, do you?" Li Baqiu pointed to the chickens and ducks that were tied into two zongzi and quipped.

"Don't believe it, you really said it right," the old snake head nodded very seriously, and said again: "You should know that there has been a dragon king in the sea since ancient times, so what will be in the lake?" ”

I burst out and said, "River God? ”

The old snake head didn't speak, but the fat man of the sea was a little disapproving, "No, what age is this, you still believe in those gods and ghosts, anyway, my fat man doesn't believe in these ghosts and gods." ”

The old snake head didn't seem to want to argue more about the fat man's disapproval, but looked at the wider and wider water basin ahead, and began to chant for a while, "It seems that the river god is at home today... Listen later, don't make a sound, don't look around, whatever happens, you know? ”

"Huh?" The three of us were taken aback by the old snakehead's inexplicable words, and we didn't know why he said that.

Just as the three of us were distracted, the wide water in front of us suddenly became dark, and the scope of darkness also increased with the scope of the water, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to the surrounding area under our boat.

"Bang," there was a muffled sound of hitting the reef under the boat, and before we could react, the hull of the boat stopped, and it kept swaying in the lake as if it had been piled.

At this time, my whole brain was messed up in an instant, and I was lying dead in the hull of the boat, and I said in my heart, could it be that the river god mentioned in the mouth of the old snake head really existed, or was his so-called "river god" a synonym for other things?

In short, no matter which one is bad, I'm afraid we all have to leave it here today.

The three of us were frightened in the hull of the boat, and the old snake head stationed at the bow of the boat was not afraid of being in distress, but instead sang a chorus in his mouth, which frightened the fat man of the sea and scolded in a low voice, saying that he would not let us speak out and sing the mountain song first.

I feel that there is definitely more than that simple in it, and the reason why the old snake head sings must have his intentions. Sure enough, in the process of his chanting, the boat, which had been shaking violently, began to stop, which made the three of us very incomprehensible.

When the boat stopped rocking, it was clear that the lord at the bottom of the lake had no intention of letting us go, and the whole hull was still unable to paddle.

The fat man was a little anxious, hugged the foot of the old snake head, and said in a little panic: "The old snake head... This... What the hell is going on... Why don't you go back? ”

After the old snake head felt that his foot was suddenly being hugged, he hurriedly looked back at the fat man, and saw that Li Baqiu on the other side also had the posture of hugging his other foot, he hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't come here." ”

After the old snake head waved his hand to interrupt Li Baqiu, he immediately looked at the fat man at his feet, which meant to tell him to let go. It wasn't until his feet were released that the old snake head whispered again: "From now on, don't look into the water, and don't tell you to know whatever happens next?" ”

I nodded in amazement, I had completely forgotten the reaction of the two fat men around me, anyway, they should be like me.

In the process of clinging to the plank, I didn't completely obey the old snakehead's orders, and the line of sight through the plank was slightly elongated, after all, I was a little bolder to follow my grandfather.

When the line of sight was gradually lengthened, I could see that the old snake head at the bow of the boat was untying a big like a zongzi. I had a vague guess in my mind, knowing that he must be going to sacrifice this prepared raw bird to the "river god" who was making trouble in the water, but would it really work?

Seeing the tied big being thrown into the pitch-black river in front of the boat by the head of the old snake, I subconsciously raised my eyes to see what would happen next? However, before I could see what happened next, two big and small heads covered my vision, and the fat man and Li Baqiu were bolder than me.

After I impatiently pushed the heads of the two of them away, I looked at the surface of the water, where was the shadow of the big rooster before, and some were just a puddle of blood coming out of the water, and even the hair did not float up half of it.

At this time, the old snake's face was also sweaty, obviously he only needed to throw a chicken down the river to get rid of it, but he didn't expect today's "river god" to have a big belly, and a chicken didn't buy it at all.

At this time, it was not the time for the little family to be angry, and the old snake head didn't think about it, but he uncovered the bound landlubber and threw it down.

This time I saw very clearly, the landlubber that had been thrown into the river had just fluttered a few times in the water, and before it could start swimming, something swished out of the water, and dragged the duck floating on the surface into the water, and then a puddle of blood flooded out, and finally a chicken and a duck were sacrificed.
