Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
Take a boat from Qingyang City to Hewan Town, and go down the river with a smooth wind. The speed is naturally much faster than when Niu Hao took the land route.
On the ship, in addition to the ship boss and a few boatmen, there were only Niu Hao Zhengwen and the big guy.
The gourd was left in Qingyang City.
Although the gourd especially wants to stick to Zhengwen's side all the time, Zhengwen doesn't like to have a gourd by his side, chattering about nothing.
The big boat sailed on the river, swaying from side to side.
Zhengwen went out on a big boat for the first time, and he was not used to the shaking of the hull, and his two hands tightly clutched the fence on the side of the ship, afraid of being overturned.
Niu Hao worked as a shipwright on a cargo ship in Qingjiang and was used to all this. Standing in the bow of the boat facing the surging river, facing the wind.
Zhengwen looked at Niu Hao and saw that the wind blowing in the Xi Xi River wind on Niu Hao's robe rolled backwards, looking elegant and magnificent.
Zhengwen grabbed the side of the boat and moved towards Niu Hao step by step.
When he came to Niu Hao's side and took a closer look, Niu Hao's big head, coupled with the scars on his face, made him look fierce.
The bow of the ship broke through the waves, and the sound of rushing water sounded. Alarm a group of herons on the sandbar in the heart of the river, flutter their wings and fly.
Niu Hao turned his head to look at Zhengwen's appearance, walked to Zhengwen's side and stretched out his hand and said:
"I'm holding you. ”
Zhengwen glanced at Niu Hao quickly, reached out and grabbed Niu Hao's hand, followed Niu Hao's footsteps, and cautiously walked towards the bow of the boat.
Seeing that Zhengwen loosened the fence of the ship, Niu Hao suddenly let go of Zhengwen's hand.
Zhengwen instantly became helpless, spread his legs, and squatted downward, but he still couldn't stop shaking back and forth.
The waves pushed the bow of the boat and lifted upward. Zhengwen couldn't help but let out a scream.
Niu Hao had already stepped behind Zhengwen and hugged the crumbling Zhengwen.
Zhengwen looked annoyed and angry, pushed Niu Hao away and waved his hand to hit.
Just pushed Niu Hao away, Zhengwen found that his body was shaking and he couldn't stand up straight, so he hurriedly grabbed Niu Hao again. A face that was both resentful and helpless.
The big guy saw it next to him and laughed.
Hearing the tiger's face, he yelled at the big man:
"Don't laugh!"
The big boat, which was going down the river, closed its sails and stopped oars, and slowly stopped.
Niu Hao turned his head and saw the boat boss beckoning the boatman, busy.
"What's going on?"
Niu Hao asked, and the boat boss waved his hand at Niu Hao.
Two boatmen carried one out of the cabin...... A huge, corn-faced nest.
The yellow corn noodle nest is not as big as a cow, at least as big as a pig. It was placed on a board and carried by two boatmen to the bow.
The captain of the boat followed, came to the bow of the boat, silently recited at the surging river below, and then bowed down.
The shipwrights all stopped what they were doing and fell to their knees.
Then, the two boatmen on the bow lifted the board and threw the corn flour nest into the river with a pop.
This is a sacrifice to the gods.
Niu Hao has also seen such a scene in Laolongtang.
It's just that which river god is being sacrificed this time, Niu Hao doesn't know.
The wreath nests of corn noodles thrown into the river float on the surface of the river, flowing slowly with the current.
The captain of the ship finished his prayer and stood up.
The boatmen on the boat also gathered to the bow of the boat, lying on the strings of the boat and watching the corn noodles floating on the river.
"We, fishing?"
The big guy asked suddenly.
Niu Hao looked at the big man, and then at the silent boat boss.
If there is a big rope to tie the corn noodle nest floating on the river, it is really the same as fishing.
Zhengwen turned his head to look at Niu Hao, with a question in his eyes.
In the river, an undercurrent suddenly surged.
The undercurrent makes a splash and makes a gurgling sound. Everyone stared at the river, and the huge corn noodle nest like a pig disappeared in an instant.
Niu Hao vaguely saw a bloody mouth open in the river, stirring the river to roll up a whirlpool, and swallowed the corn noodles floating on the river.
A gray-black shadow appeared on the surface of the river, like the back of a big fish, and like the back shell of a giant turtle.
Whatever it was, that guy was just too big. Pieces of huge scale armor were exposed on the surface of the water, shining in the sunlight.
The back of the exposed water swam and dived back into the river.
The big guy who was shouting about fishing just now stared at a pair of red eyes, and he was dumbfounded.
The boatmen gathered at the bow of the boat, as if they had breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked to the back.
The boat boss watched the floating figure in the river gradually disappear, and then turned his head to Niu Hao and Zhengwen and said:
"The boat goes forward and there is a rapids in front of Riverbend Town. We go down the river, as long as we fold the sails and handle the oars carefully. However, when it comes time to return, it becomes extremely difficult to sail against the current. At this time, they all relied on the river beast giant shell, dragging the big boat in the river water to help us cross. Therefore, the boatmen who come and go on this section of the river will consciously worship the river beasts to show their gratitude. ”
Jumbabpet?
Zhengwen looked at Niu Hao and asked in a low voice:
"Isn't there supposed to be a dragon in Qingjiang?"
Of course there are dragons.
Niu Hao nodded.
And the dragon in Qingjiang will never taste so light, and it can be used to get rid of it with a corn noodle nest.
The dragon in the Qingjiang River wants to eat meat.
The big man was also curious, and asked the boat boss:
"Jubei, what's it?"
The captain shook his head and said:
"I really don't know. Some people say that the giant shell is a turtle with a huge back shell, and it is carried on its back to cross the rapids by boat every time. That's why giant shellfish were originally called giant backs because they could carry them. It is also said that the giant shellfish is a big fish that opens its mouth to swallow the turbulent river current, making it easier to sail. ”
Zhengwen suddenly became interested, grabbed a cable next to him, and said to the big man:
"Why don't we put you in the river and see if we can catch that big fish?"
The big guy let out a hey laugh and ducked back.
The captain turned around and beckoned the boatman to raise the sails and rush to Riverbend Town.
Zhengwen asked Niu Hao again:
"You've seen the dragon, what does the dragon look like?"
The smile that Niu Hao was still hanging on his face just now slowly disappeared.
Niu Hao didn't know how to describe the appearance of the dragon to Zhengwen, Niu Hao only remembered that the dragon blocked the river and let a big boat more than ten zhang long sit on the beach at the bottom of the river, like a piece of meat thrown on the board, waiting to be slaughtered.
The divine dragon of Lao Longtang should have eaten Niu Hao's. But I don't know why, for Niu Hao's piece of meat that stretched out to his mouth, Shenlong suddenly lost interest.
Niu Hao looked at Zhengwen and said:
"Compared with the Divine Dragon, the Benbu and dagger on Kongming Mountain are nothing. Shenlong almost scared me out. ”
Zhengwen looked at Niu Hao, his eyes were shining, looking both envious and full of admiration. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
