The riverside became a mess, and the Zhang father and son were pale, as if they hadn't slept for a few days and nights.

Two of those who came with the Zhang family wanted to come forward to help, but they were stopped by others before they could take a step.

"Isn't this the boss of Carpenter Wang's family, and you are also here to help Zhang Laizi? I don't know who is that, and you are still helping him? Just now your father-in-law came from the other side of the road, if he sees you messing around here, maybe he will give you the first place to eat." ”

Everyone lives on both sides of the Nulong River, and there are relatives between villages, so most of them know each other.

When the boss heard that his father-in-law who was a butcher was coming, he was frightened, and hurriedly smiled: "Hey, hey, I'm just passing by, passing by, I'll leave immediately, I'll ...... immediately."

As he spoke, he slipped away with his tail between his legs, for fear of being held by his father-in-law.

The villagers laughed loudly, and pointed to other people who helped Zhang's father and son.

"The pillar crosses the river every day, giving ten miles and eight towns a lot of convenience, you have a large group, bullying people is not authentic!"

"But isn't it! The girl in his house was going to jump into the river, and if the pillar hadn't been pulled in time, she would have been swept away by the river. Later, many people saw Zhang Daya go to the city, which is really kind and not rewarded!"

The pillar is kind to people on weekdays, and when the villagers want to cross the river, most of them pay for the boat with things, and sometimes he doesn't mind if there are fewer things, so when Aunt Chunhua comes out first, others are still willing to help say a few words.

In the midst of the noise, no one noticed that the pillar that was squeezed outside looked extremely strange, sweaty and sweaty, watching in horror as the crowd of people kept passing through "Zhang Daya", but no one noticed that something was wrong.

Zhang Daya's body looked a little illusory, like a shadow, except for the previous reaction when the villagers said that she was "an abandoned woman who had no children and was divorced", and at other times she didn't move as if she was not conscious, and always stood beside the wooden stake that tied the boat, facing the direction of the Nulong River, as if waiting for something.

At this time, after taking a closer look, the pillar found that the other party's appearance was a little strange, a face was a little puffy, and his hair and clothes were wet, constantly dripping water.

He covered his mouth: this is obviously what a person looks like after drowning!

Could it be that after Zhang Daya got off the boat, she still threw herself into the river? But this time no one stopped her, so she finally got her wish.

Everything unusual in front of him pointed to one thing, something that the pillar was very unwilling to admit and dared not admit, that is, he, look, see, ghost!

Today the sky was dark, and heavy dark clouds covered the entire sky, and it was just now, and it was already almost dark. The wind on the river was whistling like a ghost crying.

Zhu Zi only felt creepy, but he didn't dare to say anything, because he knew that if he was known to see ghosts, then the originally friendly villagers would be afraid of him and stay away from him, and there was even a possibility that he would be sacrificed to the river god!

So he could only try to pretend to be normal, watching the Zhang father and son being beaten away with their heads full of bags, watching Aunt Chunhua standing by the river and scolding in the direction of Peach Blossom Village for half an hour, and watching himself drag a leg to thank the women and other people who helped talk.

Aunt Chunhua scolded for a long time, but still shouted with full anger: "It's late, maybe it will rain, and there are big waves on the river again, so I can't cross the river today, let's go home." ”

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the pillar secretly glanced at it, only to see that the big girl did not leave with the Zhang father and son, but was still standing upright next to the wooden stake, facing his boat parked on the shore.

The pillar only felt that his scalp was numb, how could he dare to go over and untie the rope?

I don't know what to do, but Aunt Chunhua asked his family to eat, if it was in the past, he would probably be able to push it, but this time he immediately agreed, just want to leave the river bank quickly.

Aunt Chunhua was also a little surprised, and laughed arrogantly: "That's how it should be! The dog went up the mountain today and caught two rabbits, stir-fry them, but it's a good thing to drink!"

The dog is the nickname of Aunt Chunhua's son, and the countrymen don't have any pomp and circumstance when they choose their names, and the cats and dogs bark indiscriminately, trying to make a good living. His big name is Li Zhuangshi, fifteen or sixteen this year, and he has not yet married.

When he arrived at Aunt Chunhua's house, the dog was squatting in the yard to tease the big yellow dog, and when he saw the pillar coming, he pounced like a monkey and pisted him to teach him to hold the boat.

"Go, go!" Aunt Chunhua instructed in disgust, "Go and clean up the rabbits, don't stay in the middle all day." Is it something you can learn to hold a boat, fuck off!"

The dog was slapped twice, giggled and ran to fetch water. The pillar walked under the eaves and shouted "uncle" to the middle-aged man who was squatting there and looked honest.

One night, even the fragrant rabbit meat could not make the pillar pull back from the trance, Aunt Chunhua babbled about the day's events on the table a few times, and in the end, she pulled the pillar and said earnestly.

"I said you have to find a mother-in-law quickly, if there is a mother-in-law, that Laizi will not come up with such a bad trick today, and even ask you to marry her daughter who can't lay eggs. Phew, shameless!"

said that she scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Zhang family again, and said that she would go to find a matchmaker tomorrow.

Zhuzi was silent for a while, and then said abruptly: "Auntie, I am a ferryman, where does anyone dare to marry me, forget it." ”

There was a sudden silence on the table.

Because of the legend that the ferryman is a link between the world and the dead world, most people have some invisible taboos about their business. Although there is nothing unusual in the usual interactions, as long as it comes to marriage, no one wants to marry their daughter to them.

Therefore, most of the ferrymen are widows, and it is extremely difficult to marry a wife, just like his Lao Tzu is also an old bachelor, and the pillars are only picked up and raised by him.

Aunt Chunhua scoffed at such a legend: "Don't listen to those idlers' nonsense! This matter will be handed over to the aunt, I promise to find you an innocent and good-looking girl!"

Zhuzi's eyes suddenly became confused, and he was stunned for a while, and muttered, "I have a lady......"

"Do you have a lady?" Aunt Chunhua shouted loudly, her surprise overflowing.

The dog leaned over curiously: "Brother, lady, no, where is my sister-in-law, is she good-looking? Why haven't I seen her come to you?"

Aunt Chunhua patted the dog away, and asked repeatedly: "Why haven't you talked about it before, which village and which household is the other party, and what is her temperament? How many people are in the family? Let me tell you, choosing a wife depends on character first......

For the first time, he put on a resolute attitude:

But the pillar was stunned, and he didn't know why he blurted out that he had a lady.

yes, where is his wife, who is it?

Obviously, he has never been married, and he has never been engaged to a girl.

"I, I ......"

He wanted to say that he was wrong just now, but he found that his mouth didn't seem to be his own, that is, he couldn't say the words "I don't have a lady". It seems that a voice in his heart has been telling him that he has a lady, and he can't be involved with other girls, otherwise he will be a negative person.

Zhu Zi only felt that his mind was in a mess, and he didn't understand why he had this inexplicable feeling, as if he had forgotten a lot of important things!

Seeing him like this, Uncle Li, who has always been taciturn, spoke: "Okay, don't say a few words, and let people not eat." ”

Aunt Chunhua, who has always been spicy, stopped talking, thinking of the pillar's life experience, it was difficult to say anything.

However, the pillar soon had no time to ponder this, and when the meal was finished, he was very anxious at the thought of going back to the ship, and wondering if the ghost of the big girl had gone.

After grinding for a while, it was time for the Li family to go to bed, and he really had no choice but to leave.

Tonight there was no light in the stars, and the short road leading to the river was very difficult, and it was not until we were sure that there was no one by the stake that I dared to gasp for breath, and felt that my legs were weak.

But when he climbed aboard the boat and was about to move out of the planks to make the bed, as soon as he entered the cabin, he saw the ghost of the big girl sitting in the cabin, and he almost didn't have a convulsion!

He ran out of the cabin and was about to rush off the boat, only to find that the rope that had been tied so well had been loosened, and the boat had drifted away from the shore!

"Eldest sister, you and I have no grudges in the long days and no hatred in the near future, you jumped into the river that day, and I also pulled a handful, if you want revenge, don't find me......"

The pillar was so frightened that the six gods were dumbfounded, and their mouths kept chattering, but the boat staggered out of the relatively calm bay on the bank of the river, and was swept away by the turbulent water of the Nulong River, and was in danger of capsizing at any time.

The pillar had no choice but to pounce and grab the oars, trying to control the direction of the boat and try to paddle back to shore.

Tonight, however, everything was strange, and the boat, which had been so obedient in his hands, became unwielded, as if there was a force pulling it ahead, and sailed straight into the heart of the river.

In the end, the pillar was helpless, and could only hold the oars stiffly, and did not dare to look back at the cabin, so he could only stare blankly at the water.

I don't know how long it took, his whole body was blown through by the cold wind on the river, and his heartstrings, which had been tense for a long time because of fear, were also relaxed due to exhaustion, and he looked up!

"Ahh

At some point, the fog began to rise on the river, and the gray sky was extremely low, and the sun, moon, stars, and dust could not be seen, only a vast expanse of water.

The pillar's mouth opened wide in shock, he was sure that it was definitely not on the Raging Dragon River, because the river below the boat was as still as a pool of stagnant water, without even a ripple.

The boat continued to move forward steadily, even though he had let go of the oars, as if the ship knew where it was going.

By this time, the pillar had completely resigned itself to fate, but was not as scared as before, and a trace of curiosity rose in his heart.

He quietly turned around, and saw Zhang Daya's ghost still sitting quietly in the cabin with her head down, as if she were just an ordinary person who wanted to cross the river.

After a long time, the river narrowed, and some huge black shadows gradually appeared on both banks, towering into the clouds, hidden in the gray fog and could not be seen really. At regular intervals, a lantern with a glimmer of light would hang high on the thin branches, like a beacon to guide the way.

At that moment, there was a sudden croaking sound on the left!

The pillar was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw a large black crow standing on a branch, and he would not have noticed it if it had not been for the lantern nearby.

The big crow glanced at the pillar with a pair of blood-red eyes, and croaked weakly again before he spoke: "It's a new ...... again." Dock and dock, the city of vain death has arrived, and all the souls on the ship will come down. ”
