Chapter 40: The Reckless Man Takes a Boat

Jiang Chang fainted, Song Chao had his sacrifice to protect him along the way, and thanks to his kindness, he threw himself on him and cried loudly: "Uncle Jiang, don't die." ”

Jiang Chang woke up leisurely, was stunned for a while, and continued to Yang Shucheng: "His father returned to the imperial court and found out that the great eunuch Cao Fengying colluded with the financier and lost the city and land. His father wrote a good chapter and played the emperor. Knowing that this piece actually fell into the hands of Cao Fengying, he commanded the people of Dongchang to put his father in prison and beat him to death. I wanted to kill everything again, so I took Song Chao in advance and escaped from the capital. ”

Jiang Chang looked at Song Chao, who was crying like a tearful person, and continued: "Then Cao Fengying knows that if the grass is not eradicated, it will eventually become a disaster, so he sent the master of Dongchang to chase and kill all the way. Shaoxia, I don't know where you come from, I think you killed the people of Dongchang just now, I also know that you are a righteous man, I can't do it now, you are responsible for protecting him to Wangwu Mountain, and hand him over to my junior brother Shang Anbei, the one-armed swordsman, you must do it. ”

Yang Shucheng thought to himself that Wang Wushan was in the east, why did he run to the west, and immediately understood that he was deliberately luring the enemy to the west, so that he could return to the east.

Yang Shucheng said: "After this is Zhongliang, I will definitely try my best to protect him." ”

Jiang Chang looked at Song Chao and asked, "Do you remember what your father told you?" ”

Song Chao said: "I remember ......" was about to open his mouth, Jiang Chang was afraid that he would say it, so he said in time: "You have to remember well." Don't forget to take revenge on your father. Don't talk nonsense. The hearts of people in the world are sinister, and if you say it, not only will you not be able to take revenge, but even you will be killed. ”

Then Song Chao nodded.

When Jiang Chang saw that a major event had been done, he was finally relieved, but a smile appeared on his face, and he grabbed Yang Shucheng's right arm with his right hand, pulled it into his arms, moved his mouth a few times, and died without speaking.

At this time, the sky was almost dawn, and the people from Dongchang were coming at any time, Yang Shucheng carried Jiang Chang to the back of the temple, and dug a pit with his dagger, which was loess, and it was easy to dig a big pit, put Jiang Chang into the pit, and then buried him with soil.

Yang Shucheng did this, raised his head, the eastern sky was already white, and it was bright all around, knowing that he could not delay any longer, he put Jiang Chang's double dagger into his arms. Busy with Song Chao, he turned to the front of the temple and hurriedly walked down the mountain.

Walking to the land of a stone's throw, looking at the two corpses lying on the mountain road, thinking that Jiang Chang's poisonous nails were poisoned, he hurriedly ran to the front and pulled up all the poisonous nails on the ground, so as not to kill innocent people.

Yang Shucheng didn't dare to take this mountain road, so he took Song Chao back to the River Temple, and walked east from the path on the left side of the temple. After walking on the mountain road for more than an hour, I was also hungry, but fortunately, it was early summer, and there were ripe fruits on both sides of the mountain road, regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, I picked some and ate it separately with Song Chao.

After resting on the mountain for a while, the two continued to walk eastward, fortunately it was a remote sheep intestine path, and there was not even a shepherd, let alone the people of Dongchang.

At night, I slept on the mountain. The next day, he quietly passed the Tong Pass. For more than a day, there was no one from Dongchang, and Yang Shucheng couldn't help but be bold and walked northeast to the edge of the Yellow River. is going to take a shortcut and send Song Chao to the hands of Shang Anbei, the "one-armed swordsman", if he has been in his hands for a long time, his ability is low, and something will happen sooner or later.

Standing on the cliff, but seeing the water of the Yellow River rolling eastward, due to the previous day, the upstream rainstorm, the river water swelled, rolling waves, and flowed eastward.

Yang Shucheng thought to himself, Wangwushan is on the north bank of the Yellow River, it is better to take a boat to the other side now, and then go east.

Having made up his mind, he walked along the river towards the east, and when it was almost noon, he saw a small boat floating upstream from the west. Yang Shucheng hurriedly took Song Chao down the loess slope.

Running to the shore, he beckoned again, and shouted to the boatman. The boatman was also merciful, and made it easier for others to do things, and also accumulated some merit for himself, and slowly brought the boat to the shore. Yang Shucheng and the two hurriedly jumped on the boat.

Yang Shucheng said: "I am from Luoyang, take your boat home." ”

The boatman agreed, and with a penny, the boat was really fast, and it went down like a sharp arrow along the raging river.

After two hours, the sun had turned to the west. At this time, he saw a man striding on the right bank, carrying a big burden, and seeing that he was very tall and fat, with more than three hundred pounds, he saw the boat on the river, and hurriedly shouted:

"Hurry up and dock the boat, Lao Tzu is tired of walking, and he wants to take a boat."

The boatman saw that he was more than 300 pounds, if he sat on the boat, the boat was afraid not to sink, not to mention that there was Sanmenxia in front, the waves were surging, and he was afraid that he would not overturn the boat, so he immediately shouted: "Danger, I can't carry you." ”

As he spoke, the boat went down the river, and it had gone a stone's throw away. The big man was angry, and saw that there were many boulders on the shore, so he hurriedly picked up a boulder, and threw it at the boat, and the boulder fell beside the boat, and the sound of "passing" aroused the yellow water of how high the two of them, and the boatman was afraid, and hurriedly sailed the boat to the left.

When the big man saw the boat leaving to the left, he was even more angry, and he picked up the stones, and threw them and threw them, and the stones fell like raindrops, and there was a sound of "passing", and finally a big stone fell on the board of the boat, and made a big hole, and the big man was still picking up stones and throwing them.

The boatman panicked, the river here is narrow, where to avoid, immediately frightened, hurriedly shouted: "Don't throw it away, I'll take you away." ”

The big man immediately stopped throwing stones, followed the boat, and strode eastward.

The boatman slowly docked the boat, and when the big man saw the boat landing, he hurriedly jumped towards the boat, and the side of the boat almost capsized. The boatman hurriedly said: "Good man, stand in the middle." ”

The big man was also afraid that the boat would capsize, so he hurriedly stood still in the center. The side of the boat was almost as flat as the river.

The boatman is at the helm, the sailor is paddling, and the boat is moving forward like a leaf.

After a while, the boatman cautiously discussed with the big man and said: "Good man, there is Sanmenxia not far ahead, the waves are very big, you get off the boat when you arrive, wait for the gorge, and then carry you on the boat." ”

When the big man saw that the boat was also dangerous, he changed his temper and said, "It's easy to say." ”

At this time, the sun in the west had already set above the river, glowing with golden light, like countless little golden snakes swimming on the surface of the river.

The big man sat on the plank, opened the big bag, took out a pig's head cooked in sauce, and put it on the board, and took out a large jar of wine, and set it aside.

Now it was time for dinner, the big man was hungry, and his belly was obviously deflated a lot, and he saw that there was no one beside him, holding a sharp knife, picking out the sauce of the pig's head, taking out a large piece of meat, putting it in his mouth to eat, and after eating, he picked up the wine jar again, and drank a large sip of wine.

The aroma of wine and meat went straight to the nostrils, and the guests on the ship saw the big man eating meat and drinking, and their stomachs were also hungry, and some of them couldn't help but scream, which showed that the big man was arrogant and didn't dare to say much.

Song Chao was a child, and when he saw the big man eating meat, the hunger in his stomach was unbearable, and his eyes were just staring at the pig's head meat on the boat, and saliva flowed out of his mouth.

Yang Shucheng saw it, thinking that Song Chao was born in a wealthy family, and he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but today he was in trouble, hungry and unbearable, and it was also pitiful. Thinking of this, Yang Shucheng was bold and said to the big man:

"Good man, in Xia Yang Shucheng, a native of Luoyang, this is my younger brother, he is a little hungry, can you buy some meat for him to eat?"

When the big man heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "What to buy or not." He cut off a large piece of meat, four or five taels, handed it to Yang Shucheng, and said, "Take it to your brother to eat." ”

Yang Shucheng handed the pork to Song Chao to eat.

Yang Shucheng asked the big man: "May I ask the surname of the good man?" Where are the people? ”

The big man said: "My name is Ni Chun, a native of Gansu. I love to eat meat the most, and people gave me the nickname: Eat all over the world. Although I am fat, my body is flexible, and people give me the nickname: Fat Monkey. No, I'm tired of my hometown, and I'm going to the east. ”

This Ni Chun was arrogant and barbaric before, but now he is much more polite and polite, and he doesn't want this person to change so much before and after!

Yang Shucheng said: "If Brother Ni goes to Luoyang, can I invite you home?" ”

"That's a good idea."

The two were talking, and suddenly everyone exclaimed: "Sanmenxia has arrived." ”

I saw that there are two small islands in the river in the distance, which are really like the mainstay, divide the Yellow River into three, and flow through it, so it is called Sanmenxia.

I saw that the river was bound by the gorge, and the torrent rushed forward like a loose horse, and the boat rushed forward like a leaf in the rapids.

The boatman shouted, "You can sit down, you are about to cross the gorge." ”

Everyone sat on the boat and did not dare to move. Ni Chun was so frightened that he lay on the board of the boat, and he didn't even dare to open his eyes.

"Ah......h

"The boatman is rowing, and he is about to hit the cliff."

I saw the boat crashing headlong into the cliff. The boatman turned pale with fright and busily directed the sailors to row.

That Ni Chun climbed on the board of the boat, like a big fat pig, trembling with fright.
