Chapter 261: On the Beijiang River
Mei Zhifei said: "Uncle and second uncle, no wonder my mother said that you two don't seem to have grown up, you don't have any seriousness, my mother was kidnapped, and we are tracking down who that strongman is." ”
Leng Yan was taken aback, and said in unison: "Sister Jing was taken captive? Mei Zhifei told the incident before and after, and said coldly: "Zhifei, the surname Mei is your father!" Although Mei Zhifei had a premonition, but her uncle's straightforward sentence still made her a little confused, after knowing the truth, whether she was happy or worried, she couldn't tell clearly, she was told that her father was dead since she was a child, but at this time she found that her father who had missed her for more than ten or twenty years was still alive, not only alive, but also snatched her mother away, and her heart was like knocking over a cruet, with all five flavors.
Said coldly: "When your mother was eighteen years old, there were many sons and sons who came to our house to propose, but your mother couldn't look at any of them, and they didn't agree, we felt strange and asked her why, once your mother revealed to us that she already had a crush on her, called Mei Yulong......" Li Yihang said with a sigh: "Zhifei's father is called Mei Yulong?" and said coldly: "Yes, that person is called Mei Yulong." Li Yihang took out the short sword, the word "fish and dragon" on the sword was clearly visible, Leng Yan took it and looked at it, and said, "This is his sword." ”
Leng Yan said again: "After my father and mother found out, they strongly objected to the two of them being together, just because Namei Yulong's background was too bad, and he was a fisherman who fished on the Beijiang River, and he didn't even have a house on land, and he ate and drank Lazar on the boat. But no matter how much we objected or persuaded us, we couldn't change your mother's mind, and your grandmother locked up your mother in a fit of anger and told us to beat us up. ”
Li Yihang thought to himself: "Mei Zuo's martial arts are extremely strong, how can you beat him? I think he didn't want to fight back, or he hadn't practiced martial arts at that time." ”
Said coldly: "But even like this, I couldn't separate the two of them, half a year later, your mother took advantage of our inattention, and eloped with Mei Yulong, and it was more than ten years away, and your grandmother and grandfather were half angry." Leng Yan said: "It's not that I'm half angry, but I'm angry with my father." He said coldly: "Yes, after your mother eloped, your father was indeed angry and fell ill and died the next year." ”
Mei Zhifei and Li Yihang didn't dare to speak out, and said coldly: "We don't blame your mother, this is the will of God, we have already seen it." Li Yihang asked: "Uncle and second uncle, when Zhifei's mother came back, did she tell you about the plum fish dragon?" The two said in unison: "No, when we asked, she said that this person was dead, but it turned out that the plum fish dragon was not dead, and her mother was taken captive, which is really hateful." Leng Yan said: "This plum fish dragon is too much, he abducted your mother when he was young, and finally abandoned it, and now your mother has finally found happiness, and he has come to destroy it again, where are we sorry for him?"
After a while, Li Yihang asked again: "Did Mei Yulong come to you in the first ten days and eight days?" Both of them shook their heads together, Li Yihang thought to himself: "Mei Zuo must have inquired about Aunt Leng's residence through others, it is estimated that he is afraid that he will make a move when he meets you, and it is not good to beat the eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law, so that Aunt Leng will be even more unhappy if she knows." ”
Mei Zhifei suddenly asked, "Uncle and second uncle, my father...... Where is he from, where does he live?" said coldly: "Your father is a Tanjia guy, his family is on a fishing boat, there is no house on the shore, more than 20 years have passed, I don't know that the boat is your father's family, as for he is from there, it is even more impossible to verify, it is estimated that we are either from Shaozhou or Yingzhou, anyway, from the coastal areas of the Beijiang River." ”
Mei Zhifei said: "I want to go to the Beijiang River to have a look. ”
After everyone had eaten, they came to the Beijiang River, looking at the fishing boats coming and going in the river, Mei Zhifei silently thought: "I don't know if that small boat used to live and live in my father?"
Li Yihang saw that she could see her spirit, so he said coldly: "We want to stay here for a while, uncle and second uncle, you go back first, we will find our way home." After the two uncles left, Luo Yun said: "Let's find a dock and ask, and see if the owner of the boat is surnamed Mei, there are not many people surnamed Mei, and it is easy to find." At that moment, the four of them went to the wharf to inquire, but none of the fishermen knew anyone surnamed Mei.
Li Yihang said: "Sister Fei, forget it if you can't find it, let's rent a boat to play on the Beijiang River, and revisit the place where your father lives." Mei Zhifei lifted her spirit and nodded.
The four searched around on the shore of the pier and finally found a small boat willing to take them out of the river. The owner of the boat was an old man in his sixties, and after getting on the boat, Luo Yun asked him if he knew the person surnamed Mei, and the old man said: "When I was young, the owner of a boat in the river was surnamed Mei, but I haven't seen him for decades, and it is not surprising that he is still on the river or settled ashore." "I asked for more details, but I couldn't say anything.
Mei Zhifei soaked her feet in the river water, at this time in October, the river water was slightly cool, Li Yihang said: "Fei'er, your father grew up on this river, you soak in this river water, it can be regarded as returning to your hometown." Mei Zhifei nodded, and said infinitely melancholy: "I always thought that I didn't have a hometown, but now when I arrived at my hometown, I found that my hometown was actually a big river, and fate really played tricks on people." Li Yihang said: "Everyone has a hometown, which means that everyone has roots, and your roots are on this Beijiang River." Mei Zhifei said: "If my roots are not long enough to penetrate the bottom of the river, then won't I become duckweed?" Li Yihang said: "It doesn't matter if I can't reach the bottom of the river, I will get it if I get it, and duckweed can also grow, sprout and spread its leaves." Mei Zhifei said angrily: "You just love to talk nonsense, people are thinking about such a serious matter, but you are making people laugh on the side."
Luo Yun chatted with the old man and asked, "Is there any legend in this Beijiang?" The old man said, "Yes, there are a lot." The four of them were very interested, and wanted to listen to him tell stories, and the old man really didn't cover it, and told six or seven stories in one breath, all of which were touching legends of filial sons and grandsons, and there were also love stories of beauties and fairies.
Sun Jianteng had never been on a boat drifting on the center of the river, looking at the wide river, the white expanse, in awe, and asked: "Old man, is there any legend of the water monster fish spirit in this Beijiang?" Luo Yun was also quite interested, and said: "Under this river, there must be many unknown secrets. ”
The old man said: "There is a fish dragon in this Beijiang, it is very huge. The four of them said in unison: "There are ichthyosaurs in the Beijiang?" The old man was startled by them, almost fell into the river, and blamed: "Why are you so loud, it makes me think that the ichthyosaur is behind me." ”
