Chapter 67: Hades' Nose
In the evening, Jiang Pai docked at a river bay, and Yun Xue took the pot and other things to the shore and began to cook. And everyone in the platoon gang also gathered together to talk about these things encountered today.
Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves on the shore, and in a short time a number of people came. And the leader is Shen Hongjun.
Sun Changhai and Qian Mingyuan looked at each other, and whispered to everyone to be on guard in secret, and if things were not good, they would run into the river.
Shen Hongjun jumped down from his horse, came to the front of everyone, and bowed down. "Shen thanked you for saving your life." He led people all the way along the river to find traces of the wooden platoon, and only when he arrived here did he catch up.
"Shen Gongzi is polite, we also have a good meeting, just by chance. If it weren't for Shen Gongzi's fate, someone would come to the rescue, and I am afraid he would not be able to escape from the pursuit of those people. I really dare not take it as a life-saving grace. Qian Mingyuan stepped forward and said very politely. At that time, we couldn't help Childe, and we had to hand Childe over to those people, which was really helpless. I hope that Childe will not care about this. Qian Mingyuan arched his hand towards Shen Hongjun.
At a glance, this Shen Gongzi is not an ordinary person. If you don't talk about it at this moment, if people hold a grudge, it will be bad. "What we put out of the exclusion is just to earn a living, and we don't want to mess with other things. There is no way, we are all poor people, in order to have a full stomach. ”
Shen Hongjun waved his hand, "Your difficulties are understood below, and they will not be difficult for you below." Shen Zhong, take two thousand taels of silver tickets and give them to you. ”
A person behind Shen Hongjun hurriedly took out a stack of silver tickets from his body and handed them to the front.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's life-saving grace, Shen has nothing to repay, a little money, a little bit of heart, I hope you don't have to refuse." Shen Hongjun said, and handed the silver ticket to Qian Mingyuan. It can be seen that Qian Mingyuan is the leader of these people, and in front of everyone, I believe that he can't swallow all the money alone.
Qian Mingyuan waved his hand, not daring to take the money. "Childe, we really didn't do anything, it was Xiaoyu who saved you. If Childe wants to thank you, then thank Xiaoyu. ”
"These are for you, so please take them. Today, Shen fell from the cliff, but he fell on your wooden raft, which is also fate. It's not easy for you to come out to beg for a living, this little money is not much, everyone can take it and buy something to go home for the children. Shen Hongjun's tone was sincere. He is usually a very cold person, but this time, in order to thank him for saving his life, he will say so many words.
"As for Xiaoyu, Shen has another thanks." Shen Hongjun looked at Yun Xue, who was still cooking over there, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Qian Mingyuan looked at it, and it was not good not to accept it anymore, they came out desperately, didn't they just make money? This Shen Gongzi gave everyone money, just to not owe favors. If you accept his money, even if you don't owe each other, you can save trouble in the future. "Then thank you, Childe." Qian Mingyuan put away the silver ticket.
Shen Hongjun walked to Yun Xue's side and squatted down, "Xiaoyu, thank you." ”
Yun Xue knew that Shen Hongjun was coming, but she didn't step forward. It's not that she's hypocritical, but she thinks these things aren't worth it. Even if it's not Shen Hongjun today, or just another stranger, he won't care. Yun Xue threw the firewood in her hand into the stove, and then clapped her hands and said, "You don't have to thank me, we can meet on the river row, it's also fate, I can't die without help." Fortunately, your life is big, and I didn't contribute in vain. As long as you don't tell me my identity, I still have to make a living on the river row. Yun Xue said in a low voice.
"I came to ask you, do you want to go to the capital with me, I will protect you. This kind of work, eating and sleeping in the open, is really not suitable for you. Shen Hongjun said softly.
Yun Xue shook her head and smiled. "I don't feel bitter, I think it's good, I use my hands to work hard to earn money, I feel very down-to-earth. Shen Gongzi, it was an accident that saved you, you don't have to take it to heart. I think you still have a lot of things to do, so you might as well go. ”
Shen Hongjun was silent for a moment, he looked at Yun Xue silently, knowing that what Yun Xue said was true. "Forget it, since you insist, I can't force people to make it difficult. In this way, you can keep this thing, and if something happens in the future, you can go to Linjiang Prefecture or Ji'an Prefecture. As long as there is a trade with this pattern, they will help you when they see this thing. Shen Hongjun took out a piece of jade pendant and stuffed it into Yun Xue's hand.
Yun Xue wanted to return the things to him, but Shen Hongjun held his hand, "Don't take it well, don't lose it." ”
Yun Xue looked up, saw the serious look in his eyes, and couldn't help but nod, "Okay, then I'll take it." ”
Shen Hongjun took people and left the riverside, he still had a lot of things to deal with, and he couldn't delay here. "Everyone, Shen has something to do today, so I will leave. The mountains are high and the waters are long, if he has the opportunity in the future, Shen will invite you to drink. Shen Hongjun bowed his hand to everyone, and then beat his horse and left.
Qian Mingyuan waited until Shen Hongjun and the others were all gone, and then took out the silver ticket in his hand, "Come here, big guys, let's divide the money." If you are worried about it today, you should be shocked by us. ”
A total of two thousand taels of silver tickets, thirty-one of them, each of them divided sixty taels, and the rest, Qian Mingyuan left it to Yun Xue, today it is still Yun Xue who has contributed more, if it weren't for Yun Xue's medicine, this Shen Gongzi may not be able to save it.
Yun Xue wanted to refuse, but the big guys all agreed and persuaded Yun Xue to accept it. "Xiaoyu, you don't have to excuse yourself, we big guys, it's all with you. If you hadn't said that you should have woken him up, I'm afraid we would all have been killed by those people today. Okay, we're all our own people, what's polite? "These wooden handles are all very bold men, but they don't have anyone to covet Yunxue's money.
"Okay, Xiaoyu, you don't have to say anything else, quickly put away the silver ticket. Then hurry up and make the meal, our big guy is already hungry, hurry up and eat and sleep. Masamatsu also opened his mouth to persuade.
Yun Xue had no choice but to put away the silver ticket, and then hurriedly stir-fried the vegetables, and after a while, the meals were ready, and the big guy hurried to eat.
At night, Yun Xue lay on the wooden plank of the flower shed, thinking about everything that happened today, and felt like she was in a dream. She took out the jade pendant given by Shen Hongjun, and carefully inspected it in the moonlight, it was a very mysterious pattern, I couldn't see what it looked like, but on the side of the jade pendant, there was a Shen character engraved.
Yun Xue shook her head and hung the jade pendant around her neck, this thing is the safest thing to wear only like this.
Everyone was tired during the day, and after a while, they all fell asleep. Only a few frogs chirped, which sounded by the river in early summer.
The days on the river row are full of dangers, but they are just as boring. Fortunately, Yunxue has gradually adapted to this kind of day, but she doesn't feel lonely. In early summer, the mountains on both sides of the river are verdant, the river is green and clear, but there are some beautiful scenery of clear water and green mountains.
Although the weather is gradually getting hotter, the river is still breezy on the river, which makes people not feel hot and dry, leaving only refreshment and comfort.
Sun Changhai stood at the head of the row, his eyes staring ahead. Li Qingxiang came from behind, "Touyi, the front is about to reach the nose of the king of Hades." He is naturally very familiar with this water, and wherever he goes, he doesn't forget to remind Sun Changhai.
"Take a look here, I'll go to the back and tell everybody, always pay attention." Sun Changhai turned around and walked to the back. "Give me a message to the back, be more careful, and keep a distance. In front of it is Hades' nose. ”
When Yun Xue heard that it was the nose of the king of Hades, she knew that the place in front of her father was dead, and her heart was sad. If my father was still there, where would the family be like this, and how could I let myself be a girl and go to the river row to suffer hardships? Yun Xue thought about it, and felt that her eyes were a little blurry, and she quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve. He blinked vigorously and forced the tears back.
"Xiaoyu, do you miss Uncle Han?" Zhengsong saw Yunxue's abnormality and asked.
"Well, sort of. Brother Zhengsong, let's not talk about this, pay attention to the distance, this is not a joke. Yun Xue looked at the front and found that the front row seemed to be in trouble.
It turned out that the front row came to the nose whistle of Hades, and as soon as it approached the whistle, the pole was not easy to use. Those who go down to find an inaccurate place, but the leader of the line goes east and west, just don't take the right path. Li Qingxiang, Li Dayou, Ermaozi and others were all standing in the front row, helping to control the wooden row. finally slowly entered the whistle.
But after entering the whistle, it was even more dangerous, and I couldn't see the direction of the water current, which was actually spinning around. The river water rolls up and down, and the foam of white flowers floats on the water. This water flow formed a whirlpool, which was about the size of four or five kangs, with the bottom in the middle and the water around it. When Jiang Pai arrived here, he couldn't control it at all, and went directly towards the whirlpool.
"Attention, be careful." Sun Changhai shouted.
Suddenly, the platoon shook, and it directly hit the stone cliff next to it, and suddenly set off a wave that was a little high, and the wooden platoon actually spun and flew up, and the person was bounced up and thrown out of the distance.
Li Qingxiang, Li Dayou, and Sun Changhai were all busy in the front row, and at this moment, everyone was thrown out. Li Qingxiang was thrown to the top of the stone cliff all of a sudden, and then fell into the river, never to be seen again. Li Dayou was better and was thrown into the water, but the water was very fast, and he was directly swept away by the water. Sun Changhai, on the other hand, was bounced out, flipped several times in the air, and finally fell on the stone cliff.
