Chapter 60 In the Same Boat with the United States

Yun Xuan stood up with Xiao Bai in his arms, Xiao Bai began to lick and suck his fingers again, he hadn't eaten the spirit stone that Qing Ming said for many days, I don't know if it was hungry.

Although it usually eats with relish when they eat, but after all, it is very ordinary food, and it has to find a spirit stone to feed it as soon as possible.

Yun Xuan looked at the people who were gradually approaching, and the people who came were wearing hats, and the hats were surrounded by white veils, which just happened to block their faces.

Looking at the figure of a woman, every step is smooth and leisurely, the breeze gently blows the white yarn, the white dress has wide sleeves, and the skirt is fluttering.

"I don't know if this person is Wu Ningshuang?" Yun Xuan thought.

However, in his eyes, Wu Ningshuang should be dressed in a simple and refreshing, cold and independent image, and the image of the person in front of him walking gracefully and quietly cannot be combined.

Wu Ningshuang was wearing tight-fitting white (1), and the person who came should be someone else, Yun Xuan denied the idea that the person in front of him was Wu Ningshuang.

The man in white stopped a few meters away from Yun Xuan.

At this time, Yun Xuan also noticed that there was a sword hanging on the back of the white horse, and the scabbard was mostly wrapped in cloth.

The man in white looked at the water in the distance and turned his head to look at Yun Xuan.

Yun Xuan only saw the white gauze hat of the man in white turning, but he didn't see the face, and he didn't know if this person was looking at him or looking somewhere else.

He didn't speak, and neither did the other party, and the ferry fell silent.

"Why don't you go over?" asked the man in white suddenly.

"The ship can't be loaded. Yun Xuan replied.

He felt a little strange, his voice was round but a little cold, and the other party's question seemed to know him.

Yun Xuan lowered his body slightly, and through the corner of the white veil raised by the breeze, he wanted to see the other party's face clearly, but he only saw the delicate chin and ruddy lips.

"Are you Wu Ningshuang?" Yun Xuan asked.

"Who do you think I am?" the voice was still cold and haughty.

Yun Xuan was sure that the other party was Wu Ningshuang nine times out of ten, and said, "Why are you dressed differently than usual today?"

"Why, you can't see others change their clothes, do you?" Wu Ningshuang asked rhetorically.

Yun Xuan smiled: "No." Actually, you are dressed very well today, not as cold and hard and unapproachable as when you wore a white power suit before, and it looks a lot softer. ”

"Hmph!" Wu Ningshuang only snorted, but did not speak.

Yun Xuan heard her snort and thought to himself, "Sure enough, although the dress has changed, the temper is still the same, and he is as cold and arrogant as before." ”

The ferry fell silent again, and both of them looked silently at the water.

When the ferry returned, a few more people came from behind, thinking that Yun Xuan and the man in white were together, and they all stood behind them.

The old man pulled the boat to the ferry and said, "I'm tired, don't be busy, everyone, I'll smoke a cigarette." ”

He took out a large bamboo pipe from the dock, sat down on the plank at the bow, opened a packet of brown tobacco leaves, stuck a little sticky into the mouthpiece, and lit the tobacco.

The bamboo tube snorted, and the cigarette from the cigarette holder lit up and went out between the old man's puffs.

The old man opened his mouth and spat out a few puffs of white smoke, rested for a while, and said to Yun Xuan, who was standing by the dock: "Little brother, you have to learn from your friends, your friends, that is really powerful." ”

He stretched out a thumb and continued: "When he arrived on the other side, he also carried the carriage alone, which is really terrifying, and he took the initiative to work." ”

He took another puff of cigarette, spit it out, shook his head, and said, "I see you, your waist is straight, and your blue shirt and cloth are fresh, not like a person who works well, but like a scholar, useless and a scholar." Hey, if I don't go out rowing, I won't be able to open the pot at home.

Yun Xuan was speechless for a while, and only then did he see him for a while, how could this old boat master have such an impression of him, and he was still babbling a lot?

The old man looked at Yun Xuan again, and then said: "Don't think I'm talking too much, I like to talk when I stop to relieve my boredom, but seriously, when you go out, you still have to take the initiative to do more things." ”

After the old man finished speaking, Yun Xuan had to smile, embarrassed and modest: "The old man's lesson is reasonable. ”

Wu Ningshuang next to him snickered.

The old man rested for a moment and stood up, "Get on board!"

Yun Xuan stepped onto the boat, the hull of the boat shook, and Yun Xuan's body swayed a little, he came to the dock and sat down.

Wu Ningshuang hesitated slightly, pulled the horse and got on the boat, standing next to the horse.

The boatman came to the stern, turned to look out of the boat, and said, "There is still one person on board." ”

One of the several people on the ferry shouted: 'We're together, we'll cross together.' ”

The old man replied, "That's fine, anyway, you just have enough for one trip, fifteen cents." ”

He looked at Yun Xuan and Wu Ningshuang: "Little brother, this time you are stained with this girl's light, as long as you pay five documents." Girl, your people and horses will cross together, and you will have to pay ten yuan. ”

"Good. Wu Ningshuang replied.

"Boatman, I'll give you fifteen wen in a while, so I don't have to pay it to that girl. Yun Xuan said.

The old man grinned: "You little brother, when you see that someone is a girl's family, you are in a hurry to please you." If you want to give, it depends on whether the girl agrees. ”

He turned his head to look at Wu Ningshuang, who was still wearing a white gauze hat.

"We know. Handed it over together, it's fine. Yun Xuan said.

Wu Ningshuang turned her head to look at Yun Xuan, and did not agree or excuse herself.

The old man smiled, came to the stern, shook the pulp, and sang in a hoarse voice: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, My Fair Lady, good gentleman..."

Although the old man spoke with a dialect accent, Yun Xuan had been reading since he was a child, and he was familiar with the words in it, and he could still hear the sentences in the old man's song.

This one is a classic poem "Guan Ju" that has been handed down a long time ago, and the age has long been not exquisite, it is rumored that it was 10,000 years ago, and some people even rumored that it came from another world, and more people say that it was from a poetry collection thousands of years ago.

Yun Xuan understood the meaning of the poem, and he looked at Wu Ningshuang, who was standing on the bow of the boat on the other side, afraid that this old man would provoke the other party.

Wu Ningshuang stood quietly, her face a little crimson under the veil.

After the old man finished singing, he looked at Wu Ningshuang standing at the bow of the boat and said, "Girl, go to the dock and sit." That horse is heavy, and you stand there easily to make the ship unbalanced and inflexible. ”

Wu Ningshuang looked at Yun Xuan in the dock, she didn't move, she was a little unnatural when she listened to the old man's song just now, and she would feel even more embarrassed if she sat in.

The old man saw that Wu Ningshuang did not enter the dock, and said, "If the boat shakes in the middle of the river for a while, I am afraid that the horse will be frightened, and be careful that it will squeeze people into the water." ”

He looked at Yun Xuan again and said, "Little brother, why are you in the dock of the girl's family, how can you let a girl from your family be embarrassed to go in, come to me and sit here, and help press the boat." ”

Although the old man's words were rough, they were not coarse, Yun Xuan glanced at Wu Ningshuang and walked to the old man and sat down.

Wu Ningshuang also walked into the dock.

The boat sailed towards the river, and the river gradually became a little faster.

Yun Xuan sat aside, remembering the song the old man sang when he and Fang Mo first arrived at the ferry, so he said, "Boat family, what kind of mountain song did you sing on the other side of the river before, it sounds a little desolate and a little ethereal, is it about the Luoshui River?"

The old man grinned: "Little brother has never been to the Goddess Peak, there is a mountain called the Goddess Peak at the confluence of Luoshui and the Yuanmu River, if you have been there, you will know that there is a huge stone wall on the Goddess Peak, and this poem is engraved on the wall, the word is called "Luo Shen Yin". ”

"I haven't been to the Goddess Peak. Why is it called "Luo Shen Yin", and who wrote it?" Yun Xuan asked curiously.

The old man shook the oars, laughed, and said, "Many storytellers say that this poem was written by heaven and earth, and I think it was written by a later person." ”

Legend has it that the god of Luohe is a woman, one day her husband said goodbye to her, out of Luoshui, along the river upstream to the west to fight, many years have not returned, the goddess looks forward to the return of her husband, on the Luohe River and the Yuanmu River is about to meet a mountain all day long. ”

Day after day, the goddess's body gradually turned into a mountain. But her husband did not return after all, but came sad news. ”

The goddess mourned and made an oath: If the husband does not return, the stone will not be transformed. Then it was completely transformed into a mountain. Heaven and earth have a feeling, and there is a thunder falling from the sky, splitting the mountain wall on the side, leaving this song "Luo Shen Yin". ”

Yun Xuan listened to the old man's narration, and his heart was a little moved, and he said, "The Luohe Goddess is really infatuated.

"Eh!" the old man sighed and said, "Infatuation is infatuation, but it is too sad. However, where are the gods in the world, most of them are made up by later generations. ”

Yun Xuan said: "Boat family, I didn't hear the lyrics you sang in dialect before, can you read them to me in our common Tang language." ”

"Young people are studious, I'll read it to you. ”

When the old man finished speaking, he began to read it.

After Wu Ningshuang heard the old man finish reading "Luo Shen Yin", he said: "I feel that the words in it have a magnificent and huge, leisurely, and extraordinary artistic conception, but I also feel that there is helplessness and sighing in it, why do such contradictory feelings appear in this same poem?"

"Maybe only God knows. The old man looked at the sky and said, "If you have the opportunity to take a boat from Luoshui to the Yuanmu River, you will see the Goddess Peak, and maybe if you see the peak, you will know the reason." ”
