Volume 3 Lantern Tomb Chapter 106 Goodbye to the rivers and lakes
Yang Fan has been ambushed, but the clues are more vague, and the so-called southwest does not know which state and county, maybe after going to the south, you can go to Zhiminglou to inquire.
In this era, the most convenient transportation was still shipping, and the major canals passed through the blood and sweat of countless generations of slaves, like spider webs glued to the world.
The boat is ready to set sail, Lin Jing on the deck to watch the river scenery, Yuzhou is a few months away from here, and then, down the river, is Lantern Mountain.
Both places belong to the south, and you can inquire about the news of Li's mother in Qingyulou along the way.
Zun Wuyi, who was lazily basking in the sun, suddenly lowered his head and said excitedly: "Look!"
A small boat passed by the side of the building, and on it stood a boy who was so handsome that a woman could make a woman jealous that he was struggling to swing his oars to keep the boat from going way.
This girl knew that I was leaving, so she came to see me off! Lin Jing was greatly moved when she saw it, and shouted at the boat: "Huzi, what are you kid doing?"
Huzi heard someone calling her, raised her head blankly, saw Lin Jing on the boat, and waved her hand excitedly and shouted: "Big brother, I am ready to travel the rivers and lakes and act chivalrous like a big brother." ”
"Traveling through the rivers and lakes?" didn't come to see me off, Lin Jing was a little disappointed.
"Of course, because of Brother Lin, I have changed my past mistakes, and I will draw more swords to help me in the future and repay my sins. We'll see you in the rivers and lakes!" Huzi nodded, smiling brightly and innocently: Phew, what kind of rivers and lakes goodbye! I will tell you, there are too many people offended in the Lingtai, and I can't stay anymore?
"This girl is so funny. Zun Wuyi listened to Huzi's words and sneered.
Lin Jing stood by the railing expressionlessly, and it was not until Huzi's boat was about to miss the boat that he suddenly shouted: "Bah! I will change your past wrongs, and return the boat quickly!"
。。。。。。
"Oops~" Huzi took a hand, with tears in his eyes, and looked at Lin Jing pitifully: "It hurts!"
Lin Jing couldn't bear to shoot the small wooden plank he held up, and scolded in his mouth: "If you hit you, you will cry out in pain, and then you will be loaded for me! I should throw you to that boatman to see if they don't kill you." ”
Huzi suddenly covered his eyes and cried, walked up to Zun Wuyi and said aggrievedly: "Sister, he bullied me!"
Zun Wuyi hugged her into his arms with a face full of pity, and comforted: "Don't worry about him, what's the big deal about stealing a boat, your sister and I used to rob other people's countries, and no one dared to speak out." ”
"Uh~" Huzi, who was pretending to cry and pretending to be pitiful, suddenly didn't know how to act, this fairy sister was too good at bragging.
Lin Jing looked at Zun Wuyi's appearance of being so close to Huzi, and felt furious in her heart, there must be something weird, could it be that she was covered by a female ghost to become so approachable?
No! She's the fiercest female ghost herself! She shouldn't be snickering if she doesn't get into the body of other people's female ghosts, and there are female ghosts who dare to approach her?
。。。。。。
The boat carrying the three people sailed into the Grand Canal leading to the South China Sea, it was late autumn, the cold wind on the river, the light rain did not stop, the heavy rain was sometimes there, even during the day, it was also covered by dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
There are no guests on the deck, and no one wants to come out in this weather, so they are all nestled in the room, or drinking some water and wine in the dining hall and chatting.
Dozens of sailors pulled the rope and closed the sails bare-chested, the boat boss had no rain gear, the raindrops were dropping on the big bald head, crackling, he stood at the bow of the boat, waved his hands, and yelled at the sailor: "Move me faster, the wind is coming, and those who don't want to feed the king together will give me some help." ”
The sound of the whirring wind sounded, the big waves on the river rolled, slapping the hull, as if a monster was about to swallow the boat, even the sailors who walked the boat all the year round could not help the strong wind and the shaking of the hull, a big wave cover will fall from side to side, but they are still used to seeing strong winds and waves, and soon they will hold on to the railing rope and continue to be busy.
"The oil is gone!" a sailor slid off his mast as nimbly as a monkey, shouting loudly in the wind and rain.
The mast is equipped with a lamp, which is a way to alert ships at night and in case of wind and rain, and it can also be used to simply transmit signals and fill up the lamp oil every time you sail to avoid accidents.
"Grandma, what son of a son is checking the lamp oil! Why don't you go back to the cabin for me. "The boat boss almost smashed people, no oil in the lamp is a big taboo in this industry, they go to the boat, the boat without the light will provoke the water ghost.
The nimble sailor saw that the boss was angry, and did not dare to make a sound, so he immediately rushed into the cabin to rummage for the backup lamp oil, and only secretly cursed the bastard who was in charge of filling the lamp oil, and caused himself to be scolded.
The hull of the ship was still shaking violently, and I don't know who was playing a prank, but the oil lamp in the cabin was also extinguished, and the sound of the waves crashing against the hull, accompanied by the sound of squeaking wooden planks, made the dark cabin extremely gloomy.
There seemed to be some gusts of wind, and the sailor was verbose, and he didn't dare to look for someone, for fear of being laughed at for being timid, so he had to enter in the dark.
Fortunately, although it was raining outside, there was still light pouring into the ship, and in the room full of miscellaneous items, I turned over the boxes and cabinets, and finally turned over the wooden barrel containing the backup lamp oil.
But as soon as I touched the barrel, I felt that it was wrong, it was too light!
The sailor quickly removed the lid of the barrel, and it was empty, with only a few drops of lamp oil remaining.
The sailor suddenly felt bad, there was no lamp oil, but he could attract ghosts.
Just when the sailor was thinking nonsense and didn't know how to explain to the boss, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back, as if someone was whispering.
The sailor had goosebumps all over his body, and his body trembled: "No, it's really a ghost?"
He turned around tremblingly, unable to see what was on the other side through the sundries taller than a person, but the light outside the window reflected a graceful figure on the wooden wall on the other side.
"It's still a female ghost!" the sailor swallowed with difficulty, and his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and they were extremely heavy.
He slowly approached the door, not daring to make a sound, provoking the female ghost, his lips trembled and murmured: "Dao Yi Taichu, infinite and immeasurable! I haven't seen anything, I've seen nothing!"
Silently reciting the martial god Taichu who has just reached the yang, but unfortunately he has only worshiped the river god and his sincerity to the beginning is obviously not enough, and when he is afraid, his hands and feet are not good, he stepped on the wrong foot and was tripped by a wooden box.
"Ah~" In the exclamation, he knocked down the sundries blocking the female ghost in front of him, and the goods fell like a mountain, and he finally saw the appearance of the ghost.
The woman was dressed in red and could not see her face clearly, and the man's eyes were pitch black and there were no whites of his eyes.
Not one, but two!
This was the sailor's last thought.
And the scream he had just now was very little heard in the ship, and ordinary passengers and sailors couldn't hear this faint sound, but there were also some people, such as the captain of the ship, like the people at a few tables eating and drinking in the dining hall, such as Lin Jing, who endured the double fatigue attack of Huzi and Zun Wuyi in the room and worked hard to cultivate quietly.
Zun Wuyi's face, who had been fighting with Huzi, suddenly turned cold, and his eyes seemed to be looking at the river with big waves rolling through a closed window.
On the gloomy river, a three-foot wave rolled up, holding up a beautiful girl in black gauze, without a boat, she seemed to stand directly on the river, pushed by the wind and waves, and in her hand, holding a candle burning green light.
Eerie and ghostly, sometimes a grimace growls in a little green light, and the girl's face looks extremely terrifying.
"Quickly call someone into the cabin......" The ship's boss who was instructing the sailors to enter the cabin to see what was going on suddenly had his pupils contracted, and a little green light appeared in his eyes, and the green light fluttered on the surface of the river, his face was pale, and his hands and feet were cold: "Without lamp oil, it will really attract ghosts......"
