Chapter 289: Drifting People on the River

Wang Huaguo ran upstream along the Han River, preparing to go to Xiangyang to beg the White Lotus Sect and ask them to save Yang Shucheng.

He was eager to save people, and ran more than ten miles in one go. At this time, I saw a corpse floating in the river. Wang Huaguo decided to drag the corpse ashore, which could be regarded as a good deed.

He walked barefoot into the water, fortunately the river was not deep, he came to the floating corpse, this is an old man, he is not afraid, he has fled here since the Shaolin Temple, he is used to seeing dead people along the way, and what is there to be afraid of.

He reached out and grabbed the old man's sleeve, and pulled it toward the shore, and the old man was cold, and seemed to have been dead for a long time.

Wang Huaguo easily pulled the old man ashore by the buoyancy of the water, and the sandy bank was washed clean by the river, and Wang Huaguo dragged the dead body away from the riverbank by the water's edge.

He saw that the old man's eyes were closed, and he would definitely not wake up again, so he said: "Old man, you can lie here with confidence, I should have buried you, but I have to save people, I want to go to the city, you are here first, if someone passes by, they will bury you, if not, wait for me to save people, and then bury you." ”

He knew that the dead could not hear him, but he still had to speak, or he would feel as if something was missing.

When he had finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, and was just about to run when he heard a sentence: "Boy, what are you waking me up for?" ”

There is no one in the river section here, Wang Huaguo suddenly heard this sentence, he was really startled, he stopped, looked left and right, this is a large area of sand, unobstructed, where will there be a voice.

Wang Huaguo was suspicious of leaving, and at this time, he heard another sentence: "I still want to leave, and I don't say I'm sorry." ”

Wang Huaguo finally heard the sound coming from the dead body, although he was afraid, but this blue sky and white day, he was not frightened to turn around and run, he still stood still, looking at the dead body.

The corpse sat up slowly, and the corpse was deceiving! Wang Huaguo heard the old man say that if a person dies for a few days, he will cheat the corpse, and the dead corpse will run after the living, and if he catches up, he will strangle him to death.

Wang Huaguo moved his steps lightly, and was about to turn around and run away slowly.

"I still want to run." The dead body turned its face and looked at Wang Huaguo.

Wang Huaguo was looked at by him, his heart was furious, and he was so scared that he didn't want to run, but he just stood there stiffly, and he didn't dare to come out, for fear that he would smell the popularity and pounce on him.

"I slept well, but who let you have trouble dragging me ashore? He also muttered and woke me up. ”

When the corpse asked, Wang Huaguo couldn't help but answer, otherwise it would be rude, he asked softly, "You're not dead?" ”

"How am I dead, I'm sleeping."

Wang Huaguo said: "Why did your old man sleep in the river? ”

The dead corpse rolled his eyes and said, "I drank a lot of wine, and my whole body was so hot that I wanted to vomit, but I held back and ate a stomach full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and I was reluctant to vomit, so I jumped into the river to cool off." Is it in the way of your boy's business? ”

"Nope." Wang Huaguo said, "I thought something was wrong with your old man." ”

"You think I'm dead." The old man said, "Come here, help me, I've been soaking in the water for a long time, and I don't have any energy at all." You're here to give me a hand. ”

Even if he lent Wang Huaguo a courage, he didn't dare to come forward, and the old man saw that he didn't dare to come forward, so he had to stand up and ask, "Where are you from?" What are you in a hurry to run? ”

Wang Huaguo said: "I am a person next to the Shaolin Temple, and I want to save people." ”

The old man gave him a blank look and said, "You are as cowardly as a mouse, and you still want to save people, I don't believe it." ”

Wang Huaguo said: "A friend of mine, in Meng Shaoyu Villa, was originally fine, but his father sent someone to say that he was a thief and arrested him. I'm going to the city to move the rescuers. ”

"What kind of rescuers?"

"It's the White Lotus Sect."

The old man snorted contemptuously and said, "These White Lotus Sect disciples have been making a lot of noise in the city these days, where will they have time to save your friends." He looked at the river and continued, "I was also so noisy by them that I couldn't do it, so I followed the river and went downstream for a few days. ”

Wang Huaguo said: "They will help, my friend has helped them a lot." ”

"What helped? These cultists are very arrogant, and they will not come to the rescue. ”

Wang Huaguo said: "It helped a lot, their sect leader was put in prison by Huang Zhifu, and it was my friend who tied up Huang Zhifu and sent him out of the city, and they killed him." ”

"Is your friend's name Yang Shucheng?"

"Yes."

"You kid, you can't tell you so much more. How good it was for you to say that his name was Yang Shucheng earlier. ”

"Do you know Yang Shucheng?"

The old man patted the mud and sand on his body and said, "Let's go, let's go save Yang Shucheng." ”

Wang Huaguo looked at him suspiciously, he was a lot old, he would fall down if he pushed it with his hand, and he would go to save people? The old man said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Don't save your brother Yang anymore? ”

Wang Huaguo said: "I'll go and ask a few more people to help." ”

The old man said, "Hurry up, hurry up." "Be the first to walk ahead. Wang Huaguo had to follow.

It turned out that this old man was Pi Guoshi in Xiangyang City. Pi Guoshi walked in front, turned his head and asked, "Boy, what's your name?" It's still strange to Brother Yang. ”

Wang Huaguo said: "My name is Wang Huaguo, and it was Brother Yang who protected me all the way. ”

"What is he protecting you for?"

"I can't say." Wang Huaguo has become smart now, he is not familiar with this old man, in case he also knows about the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", he will not fight my idea, let alone save Yang Shucheng.

"Hmph." Pi Guoshi said, "If you don't say it, don't say it, what's the big deal." ”

The two walked a few miles one after the other, and saw that they were not far from Mengjia Villa. Pi Guoshi said: "Don't go, let's rest here." ”

"Why? Saving people is like fighting a fire, and there is no rest. ”

Pi Guoshi said: "How can there be a day to save people, wait for the night to go, if you go during the day, you can't save each other, he clicked and cut down your Yang brother?" ”

Wang Huaguo thought about it, and the old man was right, so he said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Pi Guoshi said: "I'm sitting here, I've drunk a little too much, and I'm hungry, so you go to find something to eat, fill your stomach, and save people at night." ”

Wang Huaguo saw that he couldn't go to the city to move the rescuers, so he could only count on this old man, so he didn't dare to stiffen his mouth, and saw that the old man was sitting on the sand, and there was no way, so he had to get some food first.

Wang Huaguo looked up, there was no family here, and it was very desolate. So I turned around and went up the hill to pick some wild fruits.

He walked step by step to the mountain, it was late autumn, and the maple leaves were as red as fire, and they fell all over the valley like colorful glow. Wang Huaguo walked a mountain road, and found a jujube tree, the mountain people are not interested in jujubes, the jujubes of the tree are hanging all over the branches, and only the sparrows fly all over it to peck at it.

Wang Huaguo climbed a jujube tree and picked a handful of jujubes. He tasted one, and it was still sweet, thinking that the old man would not refuse this date. He sat down on a branch, picked out dates that were large, red, and plump, and filled them in a bag.

On the slope of the hill that turned around, I saw a tall tree of pistles, and the pistles on it hung like red lanterns on the branches, but they were almost pecked by the birds.

Wang Huaguo climbed up the tree, picked a few whole pestles, and slipped down the tree.

Wang Huaguo took a few sticks and walked back.

From afar, he saw the old man lying on his back on the sand, motionless, and thought he was asleep again.

Wang Huaguo approached and was about to step forward to wake him up. The old man opened his eyes and said, "I picked a few pestles, let me guess." ”
