Chapter 12: The wind and rain are raging, and the blood is staining the river

(In the past few days, I have been meeting in the Provincial Writers' Association, and I have been turned to be incomplete, and I am crumbling, if you are pitiful, vote for it!)

The wind was getting stronger, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a faint sound of thunder.

This rain, I'm afraid it won't be small.

Chen Sanlang was about to enter the cabin, when the river suddenly set off a wave, which made the hull of the boat suddenly shake, but fortunately he had practiced horse steps and stood firm in time, otherwise he would have to flutter into the water.

The captain hurried over to help him and told him to go into the cabin and sit down.

This is no child's play.

Chen Sanlang nodded in agreement, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the water outside the side of the boat, among the undulating waves, a basin-sized shadow rose and fell, waving his feet and claws, and the shape was very hideous.

What is it?

He tried to see better, but the shadow sank into the water, nowhere to be seen.

It looks a bit like a crab, but the crab is so big?

Chen Sanlang muttered in his heart, and sat in the cabin, still uneasy. Over there, He Weiyang was holding a book and studying diligently.

From Jing County to Nanyang Mansion, it takes more than half a day to take the waterway, from the Jing River to the Jing River, because of the climate, the river is magnificent, the waves are churning, people sit in the boat, and it is quite uncomfortable to be bumped.

The captain looked at the situation and secretly screamed "bad luck", the wind and waves were strong, and the rainstorm was coming, and such bad weather conditions were not suitable for sailingβ€”especially his thin canopy boat, if he was not careful, he would capsize and die.

So he held up a long pole, moored the boat in a bay, and went to the shore to tie the rope.

"Two guest officers, let's avoid God's wrath for a while, and wait for this rain to pass before we can continue to hurry. ”

Hearing this, He Weiyang let out an "ah" sound, unexpectedly.

Chen Sanlang was calm, knowing that when he was out of the house, when he encountered this situation, it was best to take it easy, and the father-in-law's handling was very appropriate.

Besides, they are not in a hurry, as long as they can arrive in Nanyang Mansion tomorrow, they will have plenty of time.

After a while, there was a crackling, and the raindrops the size of soybeans came all over the world, and the world was suddenly white, and it was a heavy rain.

There was a strong wind in it, whining and blowing, blowing the willows on the shore of the river, and the branches were flying.

The old man smoked a dry cigarette and sighed: "It is very rare to see such a heavy rain in March. ”

March is still spring, and such rain is a summer storm.

Chen Sanlang had no intention of reading, so he started a family routine with his father-in-law.

He Weiyang was surprised when he heard this: You must know that most of the scholars, even those who have not yet taken the examination for fame, think of themselves as high-minded, how can they have a warm chat with an old man who supports the boat? Moreover, many of the questions asked by Chen Sanlang are about the experience of boating, is it possible that he wants to learn to support the boat?

Funny!

Time passed little by little, but the wind and rain did not fall slowly, and at noon, the old man began to wash rice and cook.

This meal is not included in the boat fare, and you will need to pay extra if you want to eat it.

Chen Sanlang asked, it's not expensive, more than ten yuan.

He Weiyang took out a piece of bread and a piece of fried tofu from the book to satisfy his hunger. Chen Sanlang said that he wanted to invite him, and he shook his head: "No need, I bring dry food." ”

Chen Sanlang was not reluctant, and asked the old man if he had any fish or wine.

The old man smiled and said yes, but the cost had to be increased.

"It doesn't matter, just do it. ”

Chen Sanlang's body is weak, and he has to feed his blood and sword every day, so he can't starve, even if he uses more money, he can't lose his stomach.

The old captain opened a deck compartment in the cabin, which was filled with water, and was raising two fresh grass carp, reaching out to catch them, killing them, and making a pot of fish soup to deliver food.

After decades of craftsmanship, the fish soup was exceptionally delicious, and the aroma was diffuse, and He Weiyang couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled it.

The old man put out a gourd of wine, which was aged rice wine.

Chen Sanlang took a sip, only to feel a fiery breath burning from his mouth to his throat and all the way to his stomach.

It's hard to describe.

was burned in a panic, he quickly took a big mouthful of rice, and sandwiched a piece of fish, which was suppressed, and then his stomach was warm, his head was a little dizzy, and his hands and feet became light-

This is the first time Chen Sanlang has drunk alcohol in his life.

No wonder the owner and the second brother-in-law are greedy for a cup, it turns out that this wine is really a good thing.

So he took another sip of wine from the bowl.

Drinking, eating fish, grilled rice, drinking soup, a meal of wind and clouds, eating much more than the old man, seeing the old man gasp, he calculated: "This meal is lost, where did you think that this scholar who looks weak and can't help but be a foodie? The wine was drunk for most of the time, the fish soup was directly at the bottom of the pot, and even three bowls of rice were eaten...... Is this still a reader?"

He Weiyang also looked at Chen Sanlang like a monster.

Although the two of them are from Mr. Yang's disciples, they don't have much contact with each other, and now when they see each other, Dasheng sighs: No wonder in the county, the market is rumoring that Chen Sanlang's behavior is unrestrained, insulting Sven, and it really lives up to its name......

It seems that you have to stay away from him in the future, so as not to be mistaken in the future.

After eating and drinking, Chen Sanlang couldn't stand it, and he didn't care about the wind and rain outside, so he fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, he woke up, only felt a dry mouth, wanted to drink water, groped to get up, his head was groggy, a little swollen and painful, it was really "drunk Fang knows that the wine is strong".

The people were still in the cabin, and the rain outside had not stopped, but it was much smaller and dripping.

Boom!

If you don't pay attention to it, your head knocks on the top of the boat.

The old man who was sleeping outside immediately woke up and lit the oil lamp.

Chen Sanlang asked, "The boat can't go?"

The old man replied with a wry smile: "The wind and rain are less, but the river is surging, the water is fierce, and it is night, so I want to spend the night here and leave tomorrow morning." ”

Chen Sanlang said "oh", begged for a bamboo tube of water to drink, and felt more comfortable: "What time is it now?"

The old man hesitated: "It's about time." ”

Chen Sanlang slept in the dark, and he didn't even eat dinner, but at this time it was not easy to cook, so he also had enough dry food in his book, so he took it out and ate it under the lamp.

After eating and returning to the cabin, He Weiyang slept soundly and snorted slightly.

Chen Sanlang quietly took out the rosewood pen case, opened it, twisted out the small sword, and pierced his finger to bleed and recuperate.

In the darkness, he silently tasted unspeakable pain.

About this sword, about the "Haoran Silk Book", about the red carp, Chen Sanlang really wanted to get out of the water, but although the red carp was raised in his own well, he couldn't speak, how to communicate?

After a while, the sword raising homework was completed, and the little sword was brought to the eyes for a closer look - it has been a long time since the sword was raised, and I don't know how much I paid for feeding blood every day. Now this sword has a faint luster all over its body, and it looks deep. The rust on the surface gradually peeled off, revealing its true form.

In an instant, Chen Sanlang felt that he was connected to this sword bloodline, as long as his mind moved, the sword would swing like an arm, and he could control it freely.

This is......

He was overjoyed, and was about to make an instruction to verify it. But that sense of mystery comes and goes faster, and disappears in an instant.

Chen Sanlang was still unwilling, and he was thinking hard in his heart, but the small sword in his hand did not react, and he did not feel the slightest movement.

Is it an illusion to dare to love?

Chen Sanlang muttered, Xiaojian has been raised for more than a month, and he can't show his ability anymore, so he can't help but feel a little uneasy.

Sighing, he put the sword back in the box and put it away, he didn't feel sleepy, lay down in his clothes, closed his eyes, listened to the sound of wind and rain outside, and was stunned.

I was about to fall asleep in a daze, when a scream suddenly came from outside, and then someone screamed: "There is a thief!"

Chen Sanlang woke up suddenly, the old man reacted faster, he had already gotten up, probed out to take a look, and stomped his feet: "Bitter, it's a water thief." ”

"What water thief?"

Chen Sanlang asked.

But the old man did not answer, but hurried ashore to untie the rope and carry the boat away.

"Where does the old man want to go?"

With a loud shout, a person was thrown out, holding a bright and dangling Pu knife in his hand.

The captain heard the voice, recognized the other party, and shouted, "Liu Ada, what do you want?"

The man snorted coldly: "Since you recognize me, then go and die." ”

The knife fell and stabbed into the old man's body.

"You?"

The old man's face was full of disbelief, but he could not speak, and poured it into the water, and the blood that flowed red the river water, but it was quickly washed away.

Chen Sanlang saw that the person who came was fierce and ruthless, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold in his hands and feet.

Burst!

The man jumped onto the boat, holding a Pu knife, shaking a fire fold in his left hand, looking at Chen Sanlang, with a cruel smile on his face: "If you want to live, just stay in the cabin and don't move." ”

After a while, rowing sounded, and a black canopy approached, and on the bow stood a man with an axe at his waist and a torch in his hand.

"Second child, what's going on on the ship?"

The axe man took a sip: "They don't have long eyes and are disobedient, they are all cut down by me, and they are very poor, and they only found a few taels of silver." ”

The people of this ship, like Chen Sanlang and them, were all anchored in the river bay to avoid the wind and waves, but they didn't think that the innocent would be killed and die.

Liu Ada frowned and said, "The boat was scuttled and sunk, and the corpses were fed to the fish, and they were clean." ”

"Okay. ”

The axe man immediately made his hands and feet, and then jumped over to meet Liu Ada.

Gurgle!

The wrecked ship flooded in large numbers and began to tilt and sink, and in a moment a wave rolled over, engulfing the ship and disappearing without a trace.

Although this place is a river bay, the water level is also very deep, and the ship sinks, and there is no way to find it. And even if the corpses in it float and flow, but the wind and waves on the river are strong, and they don't know where they drifted with a snap of their fingers. There are more big fish in the water, they smell blood, chase and bite, and eat the carcass.

The axe man wiped a handful of rain and said with a smile: "This storm is really a happy one, and others think that the ship has suffered a natural disaster, and they will not suspect us at all." ”

The Jingjiang River is turbulent, and there are many wrecked ships throughout the year, especially when it encounters storms.

Liu Ada's face was gloomy: "But if you can't catch money, what's the use?"

The axe man asked angrily, "What is the origin of this ship?"

"It was the old man Zhang who was supporting the boat, and I wanted to let him go, but he heard my voice and had to do it. ”

"If you do it, you will do it, our brothers are rampant in Jingjiang, killing countless people, and there is not much more. ”

The two of them were originally boatmen, they were gambling and drinking, and if they didn't make money on the ferry, they were afraid to do something like a black boat. They specially coaxed some out-of-town passengers with oil and water to get on the boat, propped them up to a deserted place, and then killed people and oversold the goods.

As the saying goes, "people are not rich without windfalls", but the windfalls obtained by the two of them are all turned into water, lost all their money, and still owe a gambling debt, and are chased tightly.

When the storm hit today, the two of them stayed in the house and drank depressedly, but as they talked, they said that there should be a ship anchored in the river bay to avoid the wind, so they moved their minds and wanted to do a big job. However, a boatload was slashed in front of him, and the harvest was fragmentary, and that little money was not enough to pay off the debt.

Then, I can only hope that this ship will have more oil and water.

The man pulled out his axe, held it in his hand, strode into the cabin, and said viciously: "Do you want to eat pandao noodles or wonton noodles?"
