Chapter 34 An episode
The business travelers transporting goods staggered on the ancient post road on the edge of the Shangjiang River. The men in the car shook the red whip, and dozens of scalpers pulled the car and slowly moved their heads and tails together.
It was the time of Shen. Although noon had passed, August was the time when the autumn tiger ravaged. The afternoon sun was very poisonous. The toads in the cracks in the ditch stone on the left side of the post road were annoying. The Shangjiang River on the right ran forward with dazzling light spraying white foam, making the men of the car keep wiping their faces with white hand towels. Like the sweat of pulp, who cares what is pushed up by the river?
The heavy car dragon drove through the black thing and slowly moved forward.
About a hundred feet away. Stop!" Suddenly, a voice came from afar. The voice of the beard in front came from afar: "What's the matter, thin monkey? You have a lot to do." It was a young man in his early twenties who had a sharp mouth and cheeks and his eyes turned. At first glance, he was a master with a lot of ghost ideas. The thin monkey had a little awkward smile on his face and said, " boss, I... I have a stomachache. Big brother, wait for me." He made a circle forward and back, put down the whip in his hand, covered his stomach, and ran in the direction when the convoy came. You have a lot of things to do, let people dry here." A voice in the car dragon shouted. There is a lot of grinding and pee on the lazy donkey. An old voice continued.
The thin monkey covered his stomach and ran down and waved his hand backwards, and he ran in the direction of the dark thing pushed up by the river.
"There are so many fucking things, not women. I'm afraid to see it so far away." The sound of cursing on the beard sounded. Everyone laughed, came down, got together in twos and threes, sat next to the cart and chatted, allowing the goods to block the hot sun on their heads.
The thin monkey ran about 50 feet. Looking back, everyone gathered together to talk nonsense. No one was interested in paying attention to him, so he straightened up and accelerated his pace to run to the things pushed up by the river. How could he have a stomachache?
Just now, he saw the dark thing pushed up from the river. However, this boy is used to being smart. He is afraid that he will have any property and others will rob him, so he will not say anything. At this time, seeing that everyone had gone far away, he made up a lie about a stomachache and sneaked back to eat alone.
"His mother's, am I dazzled? I just saw a hairy thing lying on this thing." The thin monkey cursed in a low voice. He reached out to push the dark thing. The thing was soaked in the yellow river on the shore, full of yellow mud. I couldn't see anything in the distance. When I got close, I found that it seemed to be a person soaked in the river, but the man was lying on his stomach, his feet were immersed in the turbid river, his upper body was stuck in the mud, and his hair covered his body.
"It's fucking unlucky. I wanted to make a small fortune, but I didn't expect it to be a dead body." The thin monkey said scoldingly. However, since I'm here, it's not a waste of time to see what's on this dead ghost. Heavenly spirit, earthly spirit, dead ghost brother, I'll bury you later, and it's also regarded as earth as peace. The things on your body can be regarded as my reward!" As he said, he reached out to drag the lying body and turned the man over.
The man's clothes were soaked in river water. When he was turned around by the thin monkey, the yellow mud was already stained with his face and he couldn't see what he looked like. The thin monkey trembled and touched the man's close-fitting clothes. Oh, no, big brother, you are so clean." Jiang Shui had already washed away the things on the man's body. The thin monkey didn't give up and continued to touch it.
......
"Oh! Ghost!" A scream came, like a Thunderbolt in mid-air. Many men sitting around got up one after another and looked in the direction of the cry. I saw the thin monkey rolling and crawling towards this side. The chicken dog barks. What are you shouting about? The beard cursed the thin monkey. When it was close, everyone saw the thin monkey with a panicked face and gasping for breath.
"Your grandma, what are you shouting about? Take a shit and don't scare everyone to death. The beard came over and scolded him. Ghost...ghost!" The thin monkey shouted incoherently, and his face turned pale.
"Didn't you always claim to be bold? Why did you become a coward?" Someone joked. Say it slowly, don't worry, where did the ghost come from in the light? A middle-aged man in his fifties handed him a water bag. The thin monkey took a sip of water, settled down and said, "Uncle Ma, I really saw the hell. Just now... the body... touched, touched... a furry thing... it would move... just bite me like this." The thin monkey said wordily and raised a row of bleeding sharp tooth marks on his hand to show everyone.
"You deserve it. Who told you to make a fortune?" Someone in the crowd scolded.
The middle-aged man in his fifties thought for a moment and said, "It seems that he is the one who fell into the river..."
"This year, it's not a big deal to die. All right, it's time for us to go. It's dry on such a hot day. The beard said impatiently and turned to the first car.
Uncle Ma looked at his beard and shouted, " boss."
"What's the matter, Uncle Ma?" The beard stopped and asked. The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "This year, human life is not as good as a dog's life... But since we met... we have to bury it. Let's go out... accumulate yin virtue."
It seems that Uncle Ma still has some weight in his beard. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, just according to Uncle Ma, please ask Uncle Ma and a few people to go..."
......
Qingfeng Store.
This is an inn located on the edge of the ancient post road. This inn has a very superior geographical location, leaning against the green mountains, the former opposite the commercial water, and on the throat of the road. There are no business travelers who don't stay here. Tired is the reason. Of course, the most important thing is the boss's wife and the flying warbler swallows who temporarily stay here to attract guests.
"Your guest, you are here." Seeing these men driving the ox cart, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper greeted him early, his eyes were confused into a line, and he said attentively. Then, I turned around and shouted, the boss's wife, there was a guest. Here it comes. With a delicate cry, a woman in red came out gracefully. The woman was tall, beautiful, and had a kind of shrewdness in her eyes. When she saw those men, a gust of fragrant wind flew over and seemed to shout familiarly, "Yo, the prince has disappeared for a few days. Which gust of fragrant wind blew you back? Where are you going to get rich again? The boss's wife was very **. As she spoke, she swept the dust on her beard with a handkerchief. The beard looked very enjoyable, and he laughed in a rough voice and said, "Ha ha, this hot innocence is not acceptable to his grandmother. It's really strange. Madam, when I see your little appearance, I'm not hot, ha ha! This has just finished a job, and the day of the comparison of the four martial arts institutes is approaching. Thanks to the owner of Wuhuang City, he can transport a batch of goods collected from the surrounding area as soon as possible for the competition. There was pride in the beard's words.
The boss's wife called out: "Yo! Boss Wang, you can take over the work of Wuhuang City. It seems that you have made money this time. The beard said, "How can I make money? It's right to take on the face of Wushuang City. It's not easy to see that the brothers in Wushuang City are all hard-earned money. I'm willing to reward a few more." At this time, Uncle Ma and a strong man came over with a wooden board. Strangely, the man turned his face and could not see the whole picture. His white hair and strong body made people feel very young. The boss's wife saw it and asked, "Yo!" What's going on? Is there a brother injured..." The beard sighed and said, "unlucky, unlucky. I picked up a half-dead person halfway. I wanted to ignore it, but when I saw it, I couldn't help it, so I had to bring it over tiredly. Does the boss's wife have hot water..." The ** boss's wife smiled and showed two on her face. The charming dimple said, "I didn't expect that Boss Wang is still a kind-hearted person. You must be a good person..." His beard pointed to himself and smiled, "I, a good man?" As he spoke, he walked in and said, "Prepare two large general shops, a better single room, and let Uncle Ma show it to the boy. Prepare more wine and dishes for everyone, girl? I don't want it for the time being. My brothers are tired... It's not suitable for that. Don't turn your legs and can't walk tomorrow. The men behind laughed, and everyone knew in their hearts that the words on the beard on the road were just a mouthful, which could not be taken seriously. These days, finding a girl's night money is enough for the poor family's rations for half a year. Who are these men willing to stuff their hard-earned money into the bottomless hole? The wives and children in the family are still waiting to use it.
......
In the only guest room to go down, Uncle Ma was drinking ginger soup for the patient. I don't know how long he has been soaked in the water to keep out the cold. Feeding ginger soup to the patient who was still in a coma, he lifted the patient's white hair and exposed the patient's pale cheeks.
The patient's familiar face appeared, but it was Han Feng who came out of the Zhushi array. The loyal Uncle Ma looked at Han Feng, who was uncertain about life and death, and muttered, "Alas! Now the world is in such chaos that a person came out to run around and met a beast or robber, didn't he die...?
With out Uncle Ma's nagging, Han Feng is at this moment in a battle between heaven and man. He only felt that he was passing through a black tunnel. In front of it is a vast dark sea, and there is no starlight in the sky. He knew in his heart that if he allowed his body to walk like this, his soul would sooner or later be lost in this boundless darkness and could no longer wake up. But his body seems to not listen to the control of his brain center and slowly falls down...
