It's also a bit weird, and it's a bit like a demon. "
Hearing the boatman's words, Shitou Zhang was startled. This man seemed to be particularly timid and afraid of death. He stretched his neck and said to the boatman, "Then...then the boat won't capsize, right?"
The boatman glanced at him unhappily: "The boat is still moving, how can you say such inauspicious words? It can't be turned over, I just said it's a little weird, and I didn't say there will be big waves today."
Speaking of this, he sighed again: "Several gentlemen, it's not me complaining, I'll really persuade me, don't be stubborn when crossing the river in the future, it's always right to listen to the boatman. In fact, no one likes this kind of day. When you get out of the boat, you don’t live by the river, so you don’t know the habit of the river wind. We float on the river every day, and we almost call the boat our home. You can see if you can get out of the boat peacefully just by looking at the waves. As I said, In two days at most, this river will have to turn the sky once. Besides—"
The boatman dragged his tune, narrowed his eyes, held the boat scull with one hand, took a sip of hot wine and said, "Why did you choose to go to Anqing Mansion at such a time? It's not very peaceful there."
"Not peaceful? Why is it not peaceful?" Jiang Shining had his eldest sister married to Anqing Mansion, and when he heard this, he frowned.
"I still heard from a boatman from the other side of the river two days ago." He lowered his voice and said, "He said that a few days ago, there was ground movement in Anqing Mansion. It is said that the whole mansion was shaking several times. The most important thing is , a mountain collapsed in the ground, and some people said that when the house was shaking, they vaguely heard a dragon calling from the ground."
call...
What a majestic description, it sounds like someone's rat is screaming.
"That's called Longyin!" Xue Xian corrected angrily, and sat up straight as if he had suddenly reacted: "No, wait, Longyin? That person told you that he heard Longyin in Anqing Mansion?"
"Ang!" The boatman said eloquently, as if he had heard it himself: "It is said that it is very scary, and many people kowtow on the ground, but it is strange. It is said that after a few kowtows, the room It stopped shaking, and the ground movement stopped, but some people died. But this is not the most strange thing, the most strange thing is that after the ground movement, many fine lines and cracks appeared on the ground in the city, and it is said that some people have climbed Something came out, I don't know if it was a bug or what. I didn't understand it too well, anyway, it's quite messy."
Jiang Shining's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard the words. Although he is a wild ghost, his face is blue, and he can't see where he is going.
After that, everyone on the boat had their own thoughts and was speechless all the way.
Another half an hour later, the boatman finally docked in Wangjiang County, a little-known slap town in Anqing Prefecture.
The place where they disembarked was called Guanyin Ferry, and there were some small old inns, tea pavilions and wine shops by the ferry. There was a vast expanse of fine snow, so it was impossible to just walk on top of the snow, not to mention Xue Xian, who was inconvenient to walk among the crowd.
Jiang Shining got off the boat, and hurriedly covered the snow to ask the people beside the tea pavilion, "Is there a place to hire a carriage?"
"I won't be able to hire this day." The man in the tea pavilion who was hiding from the wind and holding tea to keep warm said: "The house was able to withstand the movement a few days ago, but the shed was not strong enough, crushing many mules, horses and animals. No, naturally I can't pull a cart. There's not even a family around here who can hire a donkey cart, don't count on it."
There were three long scars on the man's face, which looked very scary, and I don't know if it was scratched by some beast. He half-squinted his eyes, drank the hot tea in his hand, glanced at Jiang Shining and said, "Where are you going?"
"Go further north to Qingping County." Jiang Shining said.
The scarred-faced man looked at him carefully and said, "Scholar? Come to save relatives?"
Jiang Shining nodded.
He put the tea bowl on the table, raised his chin and said, "The ones outside are also with you?"
Jiang Shining turned his head and saw Xuan Min walking towards this side with his ancestor who couldn't walk. When he was in Wolong County, Xue Xian tried to fight and wanted to change his posture to be less weak, but he never succeeded. Now it's probably broken and broken...
The two of them were also accompanied by Shi Shi Zhang, who shrank his neck and sleeves, and Lu Tianqi, who was sullen.
There are old and young, and there is a monster, and it seems that there is a kind of tiredness of dragging a family with a family. It's really hard, master. Jiang Shining tutted inwardly, then turned his head and cupped the scarred-faced man, intending to discuss with Xuan Min and the others, whether to stay in this inn for a day and wait for the snow to stop thinking about it.
"Don't expect the snow to stop." The scarred-faced man seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, he wiped his mouth, picked up the long strip wrapped in rags on the table, and said, "Let's go, let's take you a ride, we just happened to be Also go in the direction of Qingping County.”

Jiang Shining was stunned, when he saw the scarred-faced man get up,
