Chapter 50: Disembarkation
Somewhere in the hinterland of southwest China, looking down from the sky, a big river is like a long dragon shuttling through the lofty mountains.
Following the direction of this large river, looking downstream, the rushing water has carved through a winding canyon to form a small step-like waterfall, like a miniature version of the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River. After the river flows through this waterfall, even after completing the canyon walk, the river bed has become much wider due to the relatively open terrain, and the water has become much calmer.
At this moment, about a hundred feet away from the waterfall, two people were dragging a broken boat board about 2 meters long in front of the water, and behind these two people, another person grabbed the broken boat board with both hands, and dragged it by the two people in front of him by the buoyancy of the wooden plank.
These three people are the Wu prawn brothers who escaped from the dangerous canyon river like the 'Ghost Gate Pass', the two brothers Chen Zhenshi who dragged the broken boat board in front, and the two brothers who were dragged by the two brothers were Huang Lao Er, who was about to lose his strength.
'Brother Huang, can you still hold on? It's less than half a mile away, and we'll be ashore!" Through the sound of rumbling staircase waterfall in the distance, Chen Zhen asked loudly.
'No problem, a certain family is just a little out of strength, gritting your teeth and still being able to persevere, it's just troublesome for the two brothers! Huang Lao Er replied a little lacking in energy, but it was enough for the two people who were paying attention to him at all times to understand.
'Who is our Brother Huang, the Eight-Nation Alliance Army entered Beijing in the year of Gengzi, and Brother Huang was the king of thousands of miles and fought bloodily for the country; Now Davis teamed up with Fang Youcai to deceive the villagers to go to Myitkyina to be a 'piggy', and Brother Huang is a righteous hero, going to danger for the people and fighting against Jamshi State, which is a real hero! It's just a little out of strength now, and it's not a problem, how can you not hold on, right? Brother Huang! "Okay, Wu prawn, this guy is called by Brother Huang at this moment.
'Oh, Wu Dajun, don't laugh at the old brother, it was decided by General Dong Fuxiang to enter the king of Beijing back then, let's be soldiers and eat food, talking about military orders like mountains, the old brother is just carrying out orders, this is just doing his own job, it is considered to have fulfilled his duties, it is nothing.
As for going to danger for the people and fighting for righteousness, that is your brother in the army. There are so many people in the cottage who want to eat and drink, and now the eldest brother has taken in so many hungry people, although they will open up the wasteland by themselves in the future and support themselves, but now don't they need the cottage to help them survive the spring famine? In the words of the army brothers, it is 'a mountain of pressure'! Only by cleaning up Fang Youcai can you get through this difficulty! As for Davis, this foreign devil, is just picking grass and beating rabbits, anyway, this foreign devil is not a good bird! ’
With this experience, Huang Lao Er and the two brothers can be regarded as having a lifelong friendship, so they naturally told him about it without reservation.
'You can't say that, at the time of Gengzi's year, the imperial court ordered the whole country's army to enter Beijing and Qin Wang, if you want to talk about your own work, the whole country's army is your job to protect the family and defend the country, but who did your own job? It's not just your Ganshan Green Battalion that is alone.
As for packing up Fang Youcai and Davis to relieve the pressure on the cottage's own expenses, this is first and foremost for themselves, which is not wrong. But didn't you also avoid the fate of those hundreds of villagers being deceived into becoming 'piglets'? Besides, taking in the hungry is not for yourself! Therefore, what the junior brother said is right, the three words of true hero are worthy of the three brothers of you! Chen Zhen also came to talk about sex, and took over the conversation while drinking water.
The brothers chatted without a word while drinking in the water, and they didn't feel very tired, and before they knew it, they finally arrived in the shallow water.
After the three of them reached waist-deep water, Chen Zhen and Wu Youdao staggered ashore with Huang Lao Er one on a side. As soon as he got his feet on the ground, Huang Lao Er hurriedly collapsed on the river beach, and he was not too panicked. Chen Zhen and Wu Youdao looked around, but there were no people nearby, so they hurriedly took off their clothes and pants and wrung them out, put them on the river beach to dry, and then asked Huang Lao Er to take them off and dry them, and then the three of them just lay on the river beach and raised the mountains without an image.
It's just that it hasn't stopped for an hour, 'goo', 'goo', 'goo'...... The sound began to rise one after another, reminding the three masters that it was time to sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple. The three of them were going to catch some crabs in the cracks of the stones on the river beach, and deal with them first, but then they remembered that the things that he meowed and ignited were soaked into a pulp, and they also made a wool.
At the moment, the three of them put on semi-dry clothes, and the two brothers Chen Zhenshi carried Huang Lao Er, directly through this river beach, along the gradually increasing terrain and through a small forest, and finally saw a large field, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, having a field means that there are people, and they can finally have a good rest and eat again.
The brothers followed the field path, bypassed two small hills, and finally came across a small village composed of about a dozen families. There was a big tree at the intersection of this village, and under the big tree there were a few old men sitting and chatting.
The three of them hurriedly stepped forward, ready to ask the old men where they were now, and at the same time asked if they could get food.
Before the old men could speak, the old men saw that they were wearing half-dry clothes, and one of them was supported by the other two, but they had already looked at them in surprise.
One of the old men in a robe and a horse coat first asked: 'Descendants, what is the matter with you, is it because you have met the 'old man who eats the money of the drifter' (the old black language water thief)?' ’
Wu Da Prawn really didn't understand, but Huang Lao Er and Chen Zhen understood, and Huang Lao Er replied at the moment: 'This old man, the three brothers of a certain family did not encounter water thieves, but took a boat down the river from the big river outside, and the boat capsized, and we finally escaped with one life, and came to your land again. I saw a few old men chatting here from a distance, so I thought about it and asked, where is this place? ’
As soon as he finished saying this, those old men were shocked that they could stuff an egg into their mouths, and they actually put on an expression of the star master seeing the pig's head Qiuxiang!
After more than ten breaths, the old man in the robe and coat asked suspiciously, "Housheng, aren't you joking!" Did you really come out of that canyon? ’
'Uh...... Is there any problem with this uncle? After Wu Da Prawn understood, he took over the conversation and asked with a smile.
"No, do you know that this section of the canyon is not navigable at all, the water in it is treacherous, the turbidity is monstrous, and the boats can be said to be dead and lifeless, and the merchants have to go ashore and take the land route!" A thin old man next to him took over and said.
'Uh...... This uncle, how do our three brothers know this, we were originally foreign merchants to the upstream Longmen Town to buy medicinal materials, halfway by the river to see the downstream not far from the hungry people jumping into the water to find a short view, in order to save people, our three brothers saw a fishing boat parked by the river, and the boatman did not know where to go, in a hurry we ran to the boat by ourselves, ready to support the boat to save people, as a result of the boat to pull out, encountered a current impact, we don't want to save people, even the boat can not be controlled well, just drift down the river, I didn't expect to go into that damn canyon.
Fortunately, our brothers have developed morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and laboriously in an all-round way since childhood, and have developed the excellent qualities of five stresses, four beauties, and three loves. On weekdays, when I see my grandmother falling, I help my grandmother; When I saw the old man fall, I helped the old man; When he saw that the oil bottle was poured, he helped the oil bottle. Except that the wall falls and is not supported, it is really a good deed without leaving a name! Perhaps because of this, we accumulated great virtue, and only after nine deaths and a thrilling escape out of the canyon river, but finally drifted down the small waterfall before capsizing, our brother survived, and swam to the shore again, and then came here. ’
After Wu prawns' nonsense, these old men looked at their brothers differently, after all, in this era, especially in the countryside, people who can take the initiative to save people and act bravely are still respected by the society.
'Unexpectedly, the three are true righteous people! The old man in the robe and coat first asked the prawn Wu Youdao to give a flickering thumbs up.
Chen Zhen is not surprised, but Huang Lao Er has never seen this, and he let Wu Da Prawn be stunned for a moment, and he almost had to light up his eyes and believe it.
'In Xiao Lao'er Luo Yong's cursive calligraphy, these three are all Xiao Lao'er's uncles and brothers, Luo Ren, Luo Yi, and Luo Li. The old man in the robe and coat pointed to the other three.
'Xiao Ke Wu Youdao, this is Xiao Ke's senior brother Chen Zhen, and the other is Huang Er's shopkeeper. Wu Youdao also hurriedly hugged his fists.
'My own brother, what a second shopkeeper, a certain Huang Qiang. Huang Lao Er also reported his real name for the first time.
'Goo' 'Goo' 'Goo'...... At this moment, the elder brother didn't know whose stomach rang out at an inopportune time, reminding them that it was time to sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple.
The three righteous men have gone through hardships and dangers, drifting for dozens of miles, they must be hungry, I am really sorry, the little old man was negligent, the three of them or they went to the little old man village to rest, and the little old brother also prepared a little wine to chat about the respect for the three righteous men. The old man Luo Yong smiled at his brother. In addition, the old brothers of the Luo family also echoed the voice.
'This ...... This is not good, why am I embarrassed to disturb a few old men? Chen Zhen clenched his fists and hesitated. Huang Lao Er also nodded in agreement.
'Eh, what's the bother, if the three righteous men look up to the little old brothers, they must not refuse, you can see the righteousness and courage, can't we show some respect? 'Nima, a simple squire like Luo Yong completely made Wu Da Prawn lame.
"Senior brother, Brother Huang, why don't we go and bother Uncle Luo and the others, the younger brother sees that Uncle Luo is also a veteran temperament, if we don't go, won't we live up to the kindness of others?" In order to sacrifice the Five Organs Temple as soon as possible, Wu Da Prawn immediately helped to fool around.
'This ...... Well, it's disrespectful to go any longer. Brother Huang, huh? Chen Zhen was embarrassed and asked Huang Lao Er next to him.
The two brothers are in charge, and a certain family has no opinion. ’
In that case, the two brothers agreed, so let's go." In order to eat as soon as possible, Wu prawns also spared no effort to continue the three-inch incorruptible cause.
"Since the three of you have agreed, then please ask the three of you to follow the little old brothers," Luo Yong continued, and after speaking, he turned around and led the way with the old brothers in front.
