Volume 2 People in the Years of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 32 Grass Snake Gray Line
A few days after the snow stopped, when the snow melted on the street, Ye San took his sister all the way west to Wudang.
In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, this night of winter twilight snow has also erased the dry and cold that should belong to the season change, and the old saying that the snow is not cold and the snow is cold and the current mild climate is also very different.
After two or three days of doing so, the sister and brother passed directly through Xiangfan and arrived at Xiahui City, which is not far from Wudang Mountain.
At the strong request of his sister, Ye Sangen had to choose to abandon his horse and take a boat to feel his sister's so-called "sitting on the boat to send smoke and haze, and resting on the boat to listen to the splash".
The reason why Xiahui City is so called is because the two o'clock Caixia in the morning and evening in this city is the most beautiful. The north side of Xiawei City is a continuous mountain range, separated by the Danxia River, a tributary of the great river, the smoke and haze sprinkle into the city behind the mountain, and follow the east rising and west setting slowly to hide in the sun behind the mountain, and it seems to cover the city with a layer of brocade quilt. In addition, the vast river is murmuring, especially the few fishermen on the shore, and you can best experience the graceful scenery of the sparkling and brilliant layers.
It was past noon when the sister and brother arrived at the ferry, so they simply ate something, abandoned their horses and took a boat to Wudang.
The boatman is a man in his forties and is very talkative. Pulling a dozen people, holding bamboo poles, he said loudly: "It's cold now, and I don't want to take the boat, so I can only blame those people for being stupid." Our Danxia River winter scenery is the best, especially after the snow, a few are really blessed. ”
The crew in the boat ignored him, and he never had any displeasure, but still said to himself: "From Xiawei City to Wudang, the land journey is more than 200 miles, and it takes two days to ride a horse. It's a lot of hard to take a boat, and the trip is short, and it's tight and stable, you say yes, little brother. ”
The position where the third watch and the night is sitting is closest to the boatman, and the boatman turned his head to ask him. After all, this kind of livelihood can be cooked by the boatman and anyone.
Ye San didn't want to pay attention to him, kept silent, just looked at the mountains on the shore, some old trees in this early spring have already opened new shoots in advance, and the spots are also attractive from a distance.
But Ye Yao answered: "The words are reasonable, but as far as I know, the land route is safer than the water route." Only these more than 200 miles of waterway, you have to pass through Meihuazhuang, Phoenix Mountain, Lotus Pond three dangerous places, some water thieves perennial entrenched here cut the path to take forcible seizure, if not the time is short, I am afraid that not many people take the waterway. ”
The boatman turned his head sideways, glanced at Ye Yao, and said, "Listening to the girl's words, she came from out of town." How many years have it been, Xin Ruhai, the owner of Phoenix Mountain Villa on Phoenix Mountain, united with more than a dozen family owners around the Danjiang River to drive away those water thieves in one go, and now this waterway is safe. ”
"Is there still a good family on the watershed?" Ye Ya asked.
The boatman was speechless for a while.
It seems that he has typed the draft in his stomach first, and the boatman only spoke after a while: "The good family is different from other people, as long as we give them some money every year, they will not go down the mountain to find trouble, which is also what Phoenix Villa agreed with them at the beginning." Look at the card on the bow of my ship, it was given by a good family. ”
Ye Yao naturally couldn't see it, and asked again: "In the first few years, I heard that the previous head of the Liang family, Liang Zhongting, went out of the customs, and his cultivation has entered the room, I don't know if it's true."
"The little girl knows a lot." The boatman smashed his mouth, and he didn't know whether it was praise or what's going on, "People like us, although we don't know what the situation is like when those martial arts are practiced, what kind of entry into the house, what celestial phenomena or what things, but I happened to send people to Wudang Mountain that day, and when I passed by the watershed, it was a sunny day, and the dark clouds of kung fu for sneezing came up." I was still thinking about how the dragon lord said that it would rain if it rained, and there was a person on the boat who ran the rivers and lakes at that time, saying that it was not going to rain, but someone had entered the house. I don't know what to break into, anyway, it was thundering, windy and rainy. Sailing is the most taboo on this kind of day, but I was frightened at the time, I didn't think about it, and after a while, the sky was sunny again. Later, I heard them say that the ancestor of the good family on the watershed had become a half-immortal. ”
"Martial arts, stepping into the heavenly phenomena is a bottleneck, and then entering the hall is a bottleneck, I am afraid that entering the room is nine deaths and not a lifetime, how can it be so easy to enter the room, it is estimated that it is just a trick." Ye Yao pouted, as if he didn't believe what the boatman said.
"Little girl, don't believe it, it was really rainy and sunny at that time." The boatman glared and emphasized something that was almost strange for his life, "I have seen all the people in my boat. ”
Ye San touched Ye Yao Er lightly and motioned her not to say more, Ye Yao Er stopped talking, and held the wooden box pillow on Ye San's shoulder and pretended to sleep.
The boatman also seemed to lack the nature of speaking, perhaps because he didn't want to deal with this little girl who didn't believe him, coughed lightly and began to sing.
"Girl, turn around,
Brother, I'm going to hold the boat and go,
Earn some money and put it in your pocket,
I dare to marry you and go home to warm the kang.
Brother, you go slowly,
My sister I'm waiting at home,
Those words can't be spoken,
It's enough for my brother to have a sister in his heart. ”
The boat sailed until the evening and docked in a small mountain village called Caojiagou.
Ye San helped his sister to find a tavern near the dock, a country wild shop, although it was simple, but Ye San still let the store make four dishes and one soup, plus a pot of plum wine brewed by the store.
Ye Yao took a small bite of food, and suddenly said, "Why don't you let me inquire about the good family during the day?" ”
Although both sisters and brothers have the habit of eating and not speaking, she can't hide things in her heart, so she has to break these complicated rules.
Ye Sangen swallowed the food in his mouth, washed it with wine, and said, "Why are you asking?" ”
"Can you not know?" My sister asked rhetorically.
"I know, but I don't think there's any point in asking. After all..."
"The mess we caused in Beijing three years ago, how could the good family let you go?" The elder sister cut off her brother's words, and her face turned towards her younger brother.
"But they didn't know we were here." Ye Sangen also interrupted his sister's words, and put a piece of the store's home-raised local chicken in his sister's bowl, "Besides, is Liang Zhongting entering the room or not, what does the boat family know, you will believe what he says?" ”
Ye Ya Yi stopped talking, and the chopsticks in his hand pulled the chicken pieces in the bowl, thoughtful.
"Eat quickly, don't think about it. Even if Liang Zhongting really enters the room, he wants to find me to take you away. "Night Sangen made a joke that didn't look like a joke.
"If Liang Zhongting really enters the room, from the watershed to Wudang, he will be able to reach it in a moment." Ye Yao was still worried in his heart, "I still believe that you can get out of your whole body with your own words, how can you run with me." ”
"I've been stagnant in the Celestial Realm for the past three years, and the first few days I felt like I had a little bit of a fight in Dancheng. If you really want to meet a good atrium, it is not impossible to meet hard. After a pause, Ye San said again, "Besides, don't we still have the golden sign of the Ye family on our heads, what can the good family do to us?" ”
For his younger brother's words that were almost self-comforting, Ye Yaoer was preoccupied and thoughtful.
How sure can you make this kind of monster who enters the house give face? Back then, the third watch of the night broke off a good family of incense.
There was nothing to do all night, and the next morning, the two sisters and brothers continued to sail west.
The boat went for another hour or so, and the boatman docked the boat again, and the third night looked up, and saw that there was a big boat coming ahead, a man in green clothes stood on the bow of the boat, and a young woman in a shawl next to him was accompanied, thinking that the river breeze was too cold, and he shivered.
"You go back to the boat first, and the family will talk about you again after the wind and cold." The man in Tsing Yi persuaded, even if the voice was not loud, but it was still clear to the people on the canopy boat not far away with the cold wind.
"I won't." Even though her voice was a little chilly, the woman in the fur still said in a resolute tone, "If you don't agree, I'll always be frozen here." ”
The man in Tsing Yi was very helpless, thinking that he was also a figure with a head and a face in the Danjiang area, but he seemed to have nothing to do with this woman.
"Red medicine, let's not talk about age, just because I have a relationship with your father's peers, this is also a taboo." The man in Tsing Yi turned his back to the woman, and his tone was stern.
"I don't care." The woman called the red medicine clasped her hands to her chest, and her expression revealed a resoluteness that could not be refuted by others.
"If you sneak out this time, Brother Liang will definitely blame you. I'll send someone to take you back when the boat docks later." The man in Tsing Yi did not answer the handle of the Qiu woman, and said to himself.
The woman in the fur was not allowed, she hugged the man's arm like a coquette, and shook it back and forth, "You promise me this time, I will stay in the villa for a few days, as long as my father sends someone to pick me up, I will come back." ”
"It's not negotiable." The man in Tsing Yi shook his arm, and his tone was more resolute than the woman's.
The woman in the fur didn't expect the other party to throw herself off, and her center of gravity was unstable and stepped back. I think it was the early morning dew was heavy, and the boat was slippery, and the woman in the fur stumbled and fell straight into the water.
Ye San naturally heard the conversation between the two people on the boat piecemeal, but he was curious why these two people would stand on the bow of the boat and talk about such a somewhat rebellious topic, and he tightened his arms tightly, and he only hoped that the sister who cared more about this kind of routine than himself would not hear it, otherwise it would be another big preaching.
It's still the kind of preaching that doesn't distinguish between occasions and identities.
Just as he was thinking about himself, he saw the young woman in a fur plant in the boat.
Without thinking about it, Ye San stood up, grabbed the bamboo pole in the boatman's hand, flew out diagonally, and at the moment when the woman in Qiu exclaimed, even when the man in Tsing Yi had not reacted, he held it under the armpit of the woman in Qiu, shook his wrist, and trembled a few times with the bamboo pole, and bounced the woman in Qiu back to the boat, which caused a burst of exclamations from the people around him.
The incident happened in the light of light, whether it was a big ship or a small boat, it had not yet reacted, and here was so frightened that Ye Yao reached out and grabbed the placket of Ye San's clothes, stood up with a shudder, and asked quickly, "What's wrong?" ”
Ye San returned the bamboo pole in his hand to the boatman, and regardless of the surprised eyes of others, he sat back beside his sister and said, "There was a big boat on the other side, and a girl almost fell off, so I helped out." ”
"Your posture suddenly startled me." Ye Yaoer was frightened and patted his chest, "I thought a good family was coming." ”
Ye San smiled helplessly, "What are you thinking about?" ”
"Thank you Childe for coming to the rescue." The man in Tsing Yi ordered the boat to stop, and held his fist at the bow of the boat.
Ye San was just kind and didn't want to do too much intersection, so he had to get up and clasp his fists at this time: "It's a matter of raising your hands." ”
The man in Tsing Yi looked at the night three watches carefully, and said, "Son's eyes are tight, isn't he from Danjiang?" ”
Although the Danxia River passes through several cities, no matter where the river is, people are accustomed to calling themselves Danjiang people, and it is also a side of the water and soil to nurture a side of the people.
Night three said: "My sister and I went to Wudang Mountain to make a wish." ”
The man in Tsing Yi saw that Yesan seemed to be more reluctant to say more, and he didn't say much at the moment, hugged his fists again, and said: "Zhao Yunchu is out of Xiaxia City, and there is something to inform you in this Danjiang."
Ye Sangen nodded and stopped talking.
The man in Tsing Yi, who claimed to be Zhao Yun, called his subordinates to help the frightened woman in fur away, and with a "boat", the big boat slowly sailed away.
Before the woman in the fur walked into the cabin, she glanced meaningfully at the man who had saved her life and the woman in the box beside her who had not spoken, which made Ye San, who had just sat down, frown.
Who is this girl?
Feeling that her sister pulled her sleeve, Ye San looked sideways at her sister, and before she could speak, Ye Yaoer had already said: "Zhao Yun's Zhao family and the watershed good family have always been good friends, I just vaguely heard the two of them talking on the boat, judging from the driving of this river, that girl should not be a good family." ”
"Little brother, the hero who saved the beauty just now is really amazing." Before the third watch of the night could speak, the boatman held a bamboo pole and rowed the boat and admired from the heart, "The Zhao family is the big family of our Danjiang, little brother, you climbed this house in this waterway, you are really lucky." ”
Ye San patted Ye Yao's hand, which was regarded as letting my sister not worry, no longer talking, and closing her eyes like an old monk sitting in meditation.
The boatman was bored, so he took care of the boat and sang a mountain song.
"Sister misses brother
My sister has a heart, and my brother knows it
Spiders build webs in the mouth of the river
The constant flow of water is sincere
Brother misses sister
Brother has a heart to come to my sister and knows
Pick tender lotus roots under the lotus in the lake
The knife chops continuously
Brother also knows, and sister also knows
Flowers have hearts to bloom and stalk
Birds have a heart to fly
If anyone knows, hey, well
Husband and wife, husband and wife"
The voice is hoarse but clear, and it sounds good.
