Chapter 429: The Yellow River Floating Corpse
When I heard the news of the Han army, I didn't feel any pressure in my heart, as long as I didn't leave a living mouth and didn't let them reveal the location of the cottage.
Huang Maoqiang jumped out, pulled out his sword and said: "Just a few dozen people, I'll come by myself, and you'll be ready to bury them later." ”
I don't know why Huang Maoqiang is murderous again, no matter how I stop him, he rode down the mountain alone, and we rushed out after us.
When we saw him, half of the dozens of Han soldiers had already fallen, and the rest had already surrendered their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
But Huang Maoqiang seemed to have fallen into evil, even if it was those soldiers who begged for mercy, he refused to let go of one.
Where the sword fell, blood flowed and bones scattered, and he didn't even cry out in pain, because his swordsmanship was too fast.
When the last soldier was left, Liu Laosi stepped forward to stop Huang Maoqiang, and the soldier took this opportunity to prepare to escape.
Huang Maoqiang scolded: "If you want to run, there is no way." He put his sword down, picked it up with his foot, and shot it like lightning, piercing the back of the soldier's heart, and the soldier fell.
I rushed over and said, "Why did you kill them all? Well, that's life, and if you can join us, you will stay, and if you surrender, you will be killed?"
"We can't let them go, otherwise our cottage will be exposed, aren't the children on our cottage human?" Huang Maoqiang emphasized his reasons.
I didn't say anything more, but tapped him twice and said, "If you kill people like this, something will go wrong sooner or later." ”
"What are you afraid of? Can God punish me?" Huang Maoqiang seemed to disdain my words, and after taking his sword and saluting me, he walked towards the cottage quietly.
Wu Shu squatted down and looked at the corpses at the scene, which was also very painful: "Xiao Yan, you see that the bodies of these people have been split into eight halves, and it will take time to put them together." ”
"Let's fight slowly, Liu Laosi went up the mountain to find some soldiers to come down and help fight the corpse, and turned around and buried it well. ”
In fact, I don't have any special opinions about Huang Maoqiang, just because he has killed too many people, this is a big cause and effect, and retribution is inevitable.
We reorganized in the mountains for more than ten days, and Tsukasa Hu could only stay in the cottage because of his illness, so we took enough silver taels and some necessities and went on the road.
Huang Maoqiang took the initiative to find me and said: "Actually, I didn't deliberately contradict you that day, you understand the truth better than me, there are still hundreds of old and weak people on the mountain." ”
"Stop, that incident is in the past, don't mention it again, I won't have any prejudice against you because of that incident, I'm just worried about you......" As soon as I said this, I found that Huang Maoqiang's eyebrows were slightly black.
Huang Mao Qiang smiled and said: "I know you are worried about me, but I believe that God also watches people put down dishes, he is the same as us, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, people like me are not so easy to die." ”
"However, the black gas between your eyebrows is a little thick, and you have been paying more attention lately. ”
Huang Mao said strongly: "it, I'm not afraid." ”
Ah Cai leaned over and said, "I have two charms here, which are dedicated to the black qi on the face and the evil spirit, so bring them to you." ”
"Thank you, I don't, I want to see what retribution looks like. ”
I saw that Huang Maoqiang was stubborn, so I didn't let Ah Cai tell him more. Soon, we walked to the banks of the Yellow River, which is the time of the flooding season.
Because Ah Cai is from Hanzhong, he is very familiar with the route we take and has a lot of experience.
"At this time, I am afraid that you will have to find a big boat to cross the river, otherwise it will be dangerous. Acai said.
I said, "Then let Wu Shuzao make it, at least the six of us can get through." ”
"I went with Huang Maoqiang to cut down trees. Liu Laosi picked up the axe and pulled Huang Maoqiang and left, maybe he also had to say two words about Huang Maoqiang, but the relationship between the two of them is usually close, and I feel that there are many things that are much stronger than what I told him.
Xiao Guozi played with the machine toy made for him by Wu Shu in his hand, and followed behind Ah Cai, not daring to leave her half a step.
Not long after, Liu Laosi and Huang Maoqiang pulled back a few big trees two or three people thick from the nearby woods, and Wu Shu began to build ships.
It took about two days, according to Ah Cai's idea, we built a relatively acceptable boat, and in the face of the current of the Yellow River, we decided to cross the river the next morning.
That night, some fishermen came to us, and when they saw our big boat, they were very surprised, and said, "Are you going to cross the river?"
"Of course, what else would you do with shipbuilding?" I said.
The fisherman said: "The water has not been very peaceful recently, you better be careful, we haven't been fishing for more than half a month." ”
"Oh, what's the danger?" I asked.
The fisherman said: "This is not clear, anyway, our village went out to fish some time ago, and has not come back yet, whether it is a good day or a bad day, it will never return." ”
"That's a really weird thing, it's really a little unclear. I said.
The fisherman said, "It's just a pity that it's such a good big boat." ”
"Otherwise, you can help us to ask, if you can help us cross the river, this boat will be yours, and you will have to pick us up again when we come back." I said.
In the face of such a huge temptation, the fishermen were of course very happy, and even several people had already begun to discuss the question of who would use the boat in the future.
The fishermen told us to wait for half a day and come early the next morning to explain the situation to us.
But that night, Xiaoguozi stood by the river in a daze, and no matter how I called him back, he didn't react.
"Ah Cai, what's wrong with Xiaoguozi?"
"I don't know, I've been standing here in a daze since the afternoon, but I haven't noticed any changes in his eyes, maybe he feels something?"
I pulled Ah Cai to find the little fruit, but he said very seriously: "This big river can't be crossed in three days." ”
"Why?"
"There will be a bit of an episode tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be windy, and the day after tomorrow will be able to sail over. ”
I was a little confused and said, "Is there an interlude? What will be the interlude?"
"Of course it's not a good thing, give me two pills. "Xiaoguozi adopted the previous method, taking medicine first, and opening the yin and yang eyes.
After a while, his face was gloomy, and he kept coughing, "It seems that it is really a bad thing." ”
"You take a break and tell us later. ”
After Xiaoguozi rested, he told us that he had just asked a few water ghosts about the situation, and it was said that many people who had died in battle had been thrown into the river by others, and that many had been buried in the water recently.
The missing villagers mentioned by the fishermen just now are probably thrown into the river and taken away.
When I heard this, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
The next morning, the fishermen brought seven or eight sailors and said, "Our men are ready for you, and we have specially hired a master who knows how to exorcise evil spirits." ”
"Oh?" I laughed.
Xiao Guozi leaned over and said, "Which one is?"
"That's it!" the fisherman led by him pushed forward the one, looking delicate, but there was a hint of murder between his eyebrows.
Xiao Guozi smiled: "Just him, the lonely soul on his body hasn't been sent away, and he still comes on the boat with us?"
"What did you say?"
"Do you have a sore shoulder when you're fine? That guy has been lying on your shoulder for more than half a year, don't tell me you don't know. "The little fruit can be regarded as an iron mouth.
The one who was said subconsciously shook his shoulder and sighed, "Your kid is quite powerful." ”
I was afraid that they would cause some conflict with the villagers, so I interrupted: "This little friend of ours has great abilities since he was a child, so I won't bother this big brother." ”
"What are we going to do?"
I said, "Well, you will come in two days, and you won't need so many people, just three or four sailors." ”
The fisherman with a murderous face said, "I see that you are a very good child, I will come to you tonight." ”
That night, the fisherman really came, and he begged Xiaoguo to help him get rid of the lonely soul in his body.
After the lonely soul left, he left a mirror, saying that it was handed down by his ancestors, and it was useless to give it to him, so he gave it to Xiaoguozi.
But as soon as he was gone, Xiaoguozi took the mirror and began to look around, and when he reached the surface of the river, we found by the moonlight that there were many dark shadows floating on the river.
Huang Maoqiang ran from the big boat and said: "There are a lot of rotting corpses floating on the water, I thought there were only a few, but there were more and more, and there were even coffins. ”
When we got closer, we found that the rotting corpses floating on the surface of the water had gathered into a pile because of the obstruction of the big boat, and if we looked closely, there must have been at least dozens of corpses.
"Fished up, Wu Shu went to the village to call someone to come and identify the body, and their family members handled it themselves, and we buried it if no one claimed it. ”
We quickly pulled the corpses that were flowing down the water to the shore and took advantage of the moonlight to lay them all up.
Many villagers came to watch that night, and several corpses were taken away, and the rest were not recognized.
"I see that the corpses of these people are somewhat familiar, and they are dressed like Zhao people. Huang Maoqiang said.
"Tomb robbers?"
Huang Maoqiang nodded, rummaged over these corpses, and really turned out a lot of small shovel mechanisms and other things from them.
"It seems that people from Zhao Land are also going to cross the river. Huang Maoqiang said.
I immediately had an ominous premonition and said, "Could it be that Tsukasa Tiger said that the widow Qing is still being targeted by others?"
"It's not good to say, after all, it's the land of Bashu, and I don't know much about it. ”
Liu Laosi said: "Leader, there is a coffin here. ”
Hearing this word, many fishermen dispersed, and some panicked and were dragged back.
When I ran to the coffin, I found that there were two dragon totems carved on the coffin, which were the symbols of the royal family, and we were all stunned.
"Could it be that the cemetery of which family was washed away by the Yellow River?" Liu Laosi said.
I said, "Maybe it's more complicated than that, but I want to open the coffin and see who's inside." ”
"Little Yak, it's better to be careful in this matter, you see that the coffin lid has been knocked off. Wu Shudao.
