Chapter 270: Half of the Night

Walked for half a day. Wang Baobao pointed to the high mountain with his hand and said to Hu Qiong: "Above is the Sanyou Cave." The benefactor can't go up and play again?"

This "Sanyou Cave" is a big scenic spot in Yiling, and you can't help but visit. Hu Qiong agreed. The big boat docked, Hu Qiong jumped ashore, Wang Baobao, Wang Lao Da and his son wanted to carry Hu Qiong to the Sanyou Cave, where would Hu Qiong let them carry it. Walking along the winding stone mountain road, walking up the mountain, until halfway up the mountain, Hu Qiong sweated slightly. Wang Baobao said: "It's almost there." ”

Walk up a section of the road, and then walk forward on a flat road, and you can see a cave in front of you in the distance, which is the "Sanyou Cave". Hu Qiong walked to the cave, the entrance of the cave was half the size of a house, and when he walked in, the hole was not deep, there were not many stalactites, and there was nothing particularly surprising. Its fame is completely due to some great literati in the Tang and Song dynasties, who left poems and showed their talents, so that they became famous from afar.

There are stone carvings all over the cave inside and outside the cave, and Hu Qiong slowly reads through each stone carving. Wang Baobao and his son stood outside the cave and did not go in, and they did not understand why this son was interested in carving. Hu Qiong walked out of the cave and stood in front of the cliff, the opposite mountain peak was like a barrier, like a wall, standing upright between heaven and earth, the forest was verdant, looking down, where could you see the shadow of the river.

Hu Qiong swam away, and the three of them went down the mountain. Coming to the boat, the big boat continued to walk deep into the mountains. The river is rushing, fast as a galloping horse, and the boat that goes down the river rushes straight downstream like a sharp arrow, and the people on the boat cheer and scream endlessly. The boat on the river, going up against the current with difficulty, on the cliff, the person pulling the fiber is like an ant, "sigh...... Alas, the sound of ......", echoed in the river valley.

In this way, I walked the gorge for a few days, traveled day and night, and looked at the peaks on both sides of the river to insert the clouds, the peaks and peaks competed for the strong, the rapids and dangerous shoals, and the flow was endless. On this day, I came to Kongling Beach, only to see that the river water is like boiling boiling water, whirlpools everywhere, one after another, foaming and spitting waves, some are as big as a foot basin, some are as big as a stone mill, some are as big as a room, the momentum is surging, and the hope is cold.

Wang Baobao took the helm cautiously, carefully passing through the whirlpool. Out of the whirlpool, Wang Baobao took care of wiping the sweat on his face. At this time, a large cargo ship came from upstream, like a loose horse, uncontrollably, rampage, and the people on board screamed endlessly.

Wang Baobao shouted: "It's not good. "Hurriedly holding the rudder with both hands, he avoided the big cargo ship, which rushed headlong into the whirlpool, like a leaf, and spun around in the whirlpool a few times, and capsized. The man on the boat fell into the river, and where was the figure still visible, the big boat with the cargo scattered on the water, half-sinking and half-floating, rushed downstream, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hu Qiong was lying in the cabin, seeing it clearly, she was already frightened, her face was pale, she didn't expect the danger of the Yangtze River, and she regretted that she shouldn't have made a westward trip.

On this day, the ship marched to the Book of Swords Gorge. I only saw that on the cliff, there are two rocks, one is like a sword, the other is like a military book, hence the name. In fact, Bingshuyan is not a rock, but a hanging coffin. According to legend, the book of war and the sword were left by Zhuge Liang when he entered Sichuan. Of course, Hu Qiong didn't believe it, but she thought that it would be best if she could fly up and bury the secret tips and treasures that the master had never forgotten on it, but it would be easier said than done to fly!

Out of the military book Baojian Gorge, the realm in front of you is open, the terrain on both sides is flat, the hillside is full of green orange trees, the river is wide, the water flow has slowed down, and there are many people on the bank. By this time, it was already evening, and the ship would stop on the shore for the night. Wang Baobao went to the village to buy a few chickens and a jar of wine, and brought them to the boat. At night, a boatload of people sat together, eating chicken and drinking.

After drinking, I slept on the boat, tired for half a day, and soon fell asleep, and the sound of snoring reached the shore.

Hu Qiong is not a person who contributes, where can he sleep at night? So he stood up, picked up his little sword, jumped off the bow of the boat, and went to walk on the moon at night.

A mountain road leads to the opposite mountain village, lined with rice paddies, and the sound of frogs is endless, and from time to time a "plop" sound is heard, and some frogs jump into the water. There is a little light on the opposite side of the mountain. Hu Qiong is a scholar, she is happy to see the lights, she is bored tonight, and it is also an interesting thing to find a bosom friend for a night talk.

Walking through the rice fields and up the mountain, the lonely family living in the west of the village with the lights exposed. Hu Qiong came to the front of the room and looked at the window wide open, and the two of them were sitting at the table, talking loudly, thinking that they had drunk too much, and their voices were loud. Hu Qiong saw that they were two drunks, not fellow believers, and were about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, I heard a man say, "I am by the river today, and I see a man's head wrapped around the grass." ”

Another person snorted: "There are people flowing in the river, what's so strange?"

The man said, "If it's a pig's head, it's not our appetizer tonight." ”

"That's right, it's useless. ”

"Why doesn't it work? We use it to scare people. ”

As soon as Hu Qiong heard that someone was using a person's head to scare people, she was very sensitive in her heart, and wanted to step forward to drink it, but she thought that she would look at what she did first, if she did that framing thing, I would not be too late to take action. So he hid among the flowers.

"Who are you going to scare?"

"Go scare Lao Gong. I passed in front of his house that time, his stewed chicken, I followed the smell of chicken, and walked into his house, but I didn't expect him to beat me out of the mess. ”

"Okay, just go scare him. ”

The two of them made a decision, opened the door, and walked out without turning off the lights. The two of them didn't watch out for someone behind them, and kept walking towards the river without looking back. A bright moon in the sky illuminated the road like hoarfrost, and Hu Qiong followed from afar.

When the two came to the river, they searched for the man's head, salvaged it, put it in a cloth bag, carried it in his hand, and walked back. Walking to the hillside, walking towards Dongtou Village, suddenly there was a dog barking in the village, "Wangwang ......", which caused the dogs in the village on the opposite hillside to bark too, the dogs were boiling, like quarrels, one after another, and several families lit lamps.

The two of them came to a house, this family has a courtyard, the two stood outside the courtyard, raised their hands, and threw the head of the person into it, and the sound of "dong" caused a dog barking in the courtyard.

The two turned around and walked back, walked out of the village, walked on the ridge, suddenly heard a sound behind them, turned their heads to look, under the moonlight, a white figure jumped up, shouted: "Give me back my head......", the voice was terrible, the ghost shadow danced, where is there a head on those two shoulders?

The two of them said "Mom, ......", their legs were weak, and one fell into the rice field, rolling and crawling, and their bodies were covered with mud.

It turned out that Hu Qiong saw that these two people were going to scare others, and they had no intention of framing them, so he decided to scare them a little, so as not to do it again next time. He lifted up his clothes and covered his head, straightened his legs, and walked up and down pretending to be a ghost.

After Hu Qiong scared the two away, she thought to herself, I don't know how scared this old Gong is? He turned around and walked towards the village. When I came to the gate of Lao Gong's courtyard, the courtyard was lit up.

It turned out that Lao Gong and his wife were sleeping, and when they heard the barking of a dog, they also woke up.

"Is there a thief in the village?"

"The dog barked so badly, I can't tell. ”

"You go and see the chicken coop, don't be stolen by thieves. ”

"I don't look at it, if I want to steal, Li Gouzi will steal it. The last time he came to my house, he wanted to eat chicken with a dead face, and I beat him away. ”

The old couple was talking in the bed, and they couldn't get up, when they suddenly heard a "knock" sound in the courtyard, and then a dog barked, and there was no sound. The two of them cried, "Oh no, it's a thief." ”

The old couple hurriedly got up, picked up the wooden stick, walked to the door, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is it?"

No one answered outside the door. After waiting for a long time, although the two of them were afraid, they couldn't wait, so they opened the door a crack, and under the moonlight, it was clear in the courtyard, where was there a figure?

The two of them bravely opened the gate and walked into the courtyard, looking around, there was no one. The two of them became bold and walked up to the dog to see what it was eating, and when they saw that it was a cloth bag, they hurriedly beat the dog away. Lao Gong squatted down and opened the cloth bag, revealing a human head inside, with a sudden mouth open, and a snow-white face. Lao Gong said "ah" and sat on the ground in fright.

When my wife saw this, she screamed, "What kind of god is this, throwing the head at my house?"

Lao Gong said: "Shut up, this must be a good thing done by Liu Laozui." ”

"How do you know?"

"In the past few days, I've fought with him, isn't he who he is?"

"What then?"

Lao Gong said: "I'll throw him back again." ”

"That's not good, you throw it, he throws it. ”

Lao Gong said: "I went to his cow house and hid the human head in the straw, no." After some time, he went to pull the grass, exposed his head, and scared him to death!"

"That's pretty much it. ”

It turned out that there was an old widow in the village, and Lao Gong was on good terms with her, but half a month ago, Liu Laozui also hooked up with the old widow, and the two old men were jealous and almost fought. Therefore, as soon as Lao Gong saw the head, he knew that it was a good thing done by Liu Laozui.

Hu Qiong saw that Lao Gong was not frightened by the human head, so he no longer cared, turned around and left, and wanted to go back to the boat to sleep. Walking through the rice fields, I saw the bank of the river in the distance, and I don't know when a big boat was moored. At this moment, several masked men jumped out of the boat, took bright steel knives, and went straight to their own boat.

Oh no, here comes the robbers!
