When I said I was going out, Qingluo was a little reluctant, but she had a good temper, and she didn't say anything when she was reluctant.
"Uncle Yu's house is far from here." Qingluo brought me a water bag filled with water, and whispered, "Be careful on the road."
"You go to bed early." I took the water bag and glanced at Qing Luo.
Speaking of which, she is really the kind of naturally beautiful woman. Although she is getting older, she has a stable life these days. She has no worries about eating and drinking. Qing Luo's face seems to be paler, even the wrinkles on her forehead and eyes are less.
I turned around and went out, and immediately ran to the beach again, pushing the four sheep boat into the water. Uncle Yu's residence is quite far away from here, and I have to go upstream. I spent a whole night and walked more than ten miles by land until I arrived at Uncle Yu's house.
When we arrived at Uncle Yu's house, it was already dawn. Yubo lives in a small depression a dozen miles away from the river beach, and there is a big locust tree in front of his house.
As soon as I arrived, I happened to meet Yu Bo who was about to go out. Since he fought with my master twice, he has stopped being a corpse scavenger. He usually fishes and makes a living at will. Seeing me in a hurry, Uncle Yu knew something was going on and let me into the house.
I first told Yubo what happened with the Hua family yesterday. The Hua family is a famous clan on the big river beach, and Yu Bo has naturally heard of it.
"Thirteen, you'd better change a boat." After Uncle Yu listened, he groaned, took out the dry pipe, and said while smoking: "You have very few people in Jinzhong. For many years, I have been driving the Four-Goat Boat. When people see the Four-Goat Boat, they can guess what you must have to do with Fu Qiandeng as long as they guess carefully."
"Well, Uncle Yu, I see. I will change the boat after I go back." I agree with Uncle Yu. The Four-Yang Boat is simply a wordless sign. People who deliberately find me will only find the Four-Yang Boat. It is equivalent to discovering my whereabouts, that broken ship should be replaced.
"It's something about the Hua family, are you rushing over to tell me?"
"There are bigger things." I hurriedly sorted out my thoughts, and recounted the scene after the ship capsized the Four Rams.
At the beginning, Bo Yu listened silently, and when he heard many small vortexes appearing on the river surface, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at me.
"Uncle Yu, what's the matter?" I was a little frizzy when I was seen by Uncle Yu, and asked: "I'm telling the truth, why look at me like this?"
"Just because you are telling the truth, I look at you like this."
Uncle Yu replied and lowered his head to smoke again. I actually don't want to tell others about my family's personal affairs, but if I don't make things clear, how can I ask Yubo for advice? So I told him about seeing my dad in the whirlpool
.
"Uncle Yu, I have never encountered such a thing before. I came to you just to ask, is this the river god accepting people?"
"Then do you think there is a river god in the big river?"
"I don't know." I shook my head because I really didn't know.
Although Dahetan is a bit more remote, it has a long history. The people who live on the riverbank believe in almost everything. There are countless rumors about the big river. Walking along the river beach, you can see places such as the Dragon King Temple and the Earth Temple everywhere. Anyone who is called a famous god must be believed.
But the people in the river beach countryside don't just believe it casually, because the legends of the gods and ghosts on the river beach have some basis and origin, and may be exaggerated, but they are not completely groundless.
However, I have heard many legends, but I haven't heard of the legend of the river god. If it hadn't been for the widow of the flower to screamed anxiously before falling into the water, I would not have known that the river god took people.
I waited eagerly for Uncle Yu to speak, but he lowered his head and smoked, without saying a word for a long time. I was waiting anxiously, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Yu, do you know what's going on?"
"Thirteen, there are things, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you." Uncle Yu finally put away his dry pipes, raised his head and said to me: "When your master entrusted me with it, he did tell me something about the past, but he told me Before me, you are still young, you don’t care about things, and you know a lot, but it’s no good. Therefore, last time I rescued you from the Pi family, I only told you about the jade stove, nothing else. carry."
"Uncle Yu, you mean, my master told you about the river god accepting people?"
"I have said it." Yu Bo nodded and said: "However, that is not the god of the river, it is your ancestor who played the golden bell."
"Master Patriarch again?" I was dizzy. However, Uncle Yu made it clear the last time. The three-eyed floating corpse brought out by the Yuding furnace was actually our grandfather Guo Tong who played Admiralty. When the flower widow capsized, the whirlpools were very similar to those drawn by the Jade Top Furnace. Just calm down and think about the relationship between the two.
"Your master said, your ancestor master is the three-eyed floating corpse that sees the dragon without seeing the end. Perhaps, he has never died."
Uncle Yu's words made me frightened inexplicably. Master Patriarch was a man many years ago, no matter how talented he is, he can't live so long. If someone else tells me this, I must think that the other person is talking nonsense, but Yu Bo said that this is what the master left behind, so I dare not pretend to guess.
The saying that the river god accepts people only came into existence more than 20 or 30 years ago.
The martial art of rivers and lakes in Dahetan
Here, there is a gang called "Jinyutang", a gang that specializes in panning for gold in the corpse area. The work they usually do is dirty and tiring, and the risk is high, but they can go to the golden sands and have a lot of money. That year, a ship of Jinyutang brought about one hundred taels of golden sand, ready to be delivered to the main hall. More than a hundred taels of golden sands, in places like Dahetan, it is already considered a windfall. For the sake of insurance, there are more than a dozen skilled men on board Jin Yutang’s boat, plus boatmen and handyman, a full thirty people. .
The boat drove to a place called the beacon mouth, and suddenly capsized. A boat fell into the water with chuckles. After falling into the water, they wanted to escape, but there were many vortices on the surrounding water. As soon as the vortex appeared, people were caught in the water. Down.
At that time, there was a young man who was doing miscellaneous tasks on the boat. When the boat capsized, he was on the side of the ship. The force of the boat capsizing was so fierce that he was thrown out at once. This boy escaped from the dead and was the only survivor of the entire ship. After he returned to the river bank, he immediately ran to the branch hall, and then was sent to the main hall.
This young man witnessed what happened after the ship capsized, but he was dumb, speechless, and it was difficult for people to understand what he meant by just making gestures with his hands and feet. Jin Yutang was also really able to stand his temper. In order to find out what happened, it took more than a year to make people literate this little dumb man. After the little dumb recognized a lot of words, he wrote what he saw in words.
Until this time, the people of Jin Yutang knew that the ship capsized and all the people on the ship fell into the water, and there were floating corpses in the whirlpools around the water. The floating corpse was undulating in the whirlpool, and the people who fell into the water were dragged under the water one after another, and no one could come out again.
In the more than 20 years since this accident, things like floating corpses overturned and falling into the water have occurred many times. In particular, some gangs who usually take the waterway have almost all encountered such things.
The vortex and the floating corpse are both a mystery to them, and no one knows what secrets are hidden behind the matter. One come and go, people can only describe this matter as the income of the river god.
It is very terrible for the river god to accept people, especially those people or families who always seek life in the river. They often travel in the river, and they have a greater chance of meeting the river god. The river god accepts people, nine deaths, and those who hear it talk about the tiger's face. Someone saw the whirlpool appearing after the ship overturned and they knew that they had met the god of the river.
After that, I remembered what happened to Qingluo a few years ago, and it was mostly River God. It's just that Qing Luo, like the little dumb in Jin Yutang, was lucky and escaped from the dead.
"Thirteen, do you understand?" Uncle Yu took out the dry pipe again, filled a pot of shredded tobacco, and said to me: "That's not the river god who is collecting people, but your ancestor master."
