Chapter 26: Sekisui Nachi

Lin Rufei and Gu Xuan both chatted for a long time at the riverside.
Until the sky was completely dark, Jiang Chaoer was not seen. Gu Xuan said that according to his estimation, it would take one night to go back and forth in the river. Jiang Chaoer would return at least tomorrow morning.
Lin Rufei said, "Isn't that evil woke up tomorrow morning?"
Gu Xuandu said: "Not necessarily."
But looking at Jiang Chaoer's skillful appearance, obviously doing this kind of thing is not one or two. Lin Rufei was a little bit safe, and when he saw that it was early, he returned to the inn.
After night, the inn was much quieter, and there was no one in the lobby.
Xiao Er led Lin Rufei to the upper room, where the floating flowers and Yu Rui had prepared freshly heated water and served him to wash.
Lin Rufei changed his clothes and drank a dose of medicament under the urging of Gu Xuandu. The whole bitter face was wrinkled together, muttering that he had no cough, and it was OK to not drink.
Gu Xuandu held him like this and didn't speak until Lin Rufei sighed and sighed onto the bed, and the quilt lifted himself tightly.
"The lights are off." Gu Xuandu said.
Lin Rufei said aloud, and the room was darkened. The sound of the waves in his ears was still there, Jiang Fengyan, and he didn't know what the weather was like tomorrow.
The next day, light rain.
The fish and dragon mixed inn was lively early. The hall was talking, shouting, and even drinkers shouting fists. Although far less quiet than Kunlun, do n’t have a mundane firework.
Lin Rufei's cough is better than the previous few days, but she still hasn't slept too well. She sat up softly from the bed and saw Gu Xuan leaning on the bed looking at Jiang Jing in the early morning. He awoke and smiled. Say good morning to him.
"Good morning." Lin Rufei rubbed his eyes, and before getting out of bed, Gu Xuandu helped him get his clothes and changed them piece by piece. Looking at this action, he was a little more proficient than Yuhua Yuhuai. Minute.
Lin Rufei's sleepy eyes were loose, and before he could react, his clothes were already worn.
"The kid is back." Gu Xuandu helped Lin Rufei wear the last nephrite belt on the line, and said, "I came back sooner than I expected." This season is not yet bright and lurking in the river. Nine dragons in the middle did not wake up, naturally it was much safer than day.
"Come back?" Lin Rufei mumbled, "I'm just back ..."
Gu Xuan looked at him and really wanted to laugh. Every time Lin Rufei woke up, he had to be confused for a long time to be fully awake. During this period, he was so well-behaved that he could do whatever he asked. There were several times on Kunlun. He had a small temper and refused to drink the medicine. His brothers and sisters coaxed him to drink the medicine while he was just awake. Of course, Lin Rufei became sober after drinking the medicine, and the medicine for cough was so bad that anyone wrinkled his face after drinking.
After washing, Lin Rufei's intellect gradually became clear, and in the house, he ate breakfast from the maid, and discussed with Gu Xuandu: "Then you say we can cross the river in that little guy's boat?"
Gu Xuandu said: "Of course it can, this God can't control it, is it still bullied by a little dragon?"
Lin Rufei said: "Xiao Xiaolong?"
Gu Xuandu said: "The dragon has only been successful for thousands of years. I'll figure it out. He's six hundred years old and a little guy."
Lin Rufei said six hundred years old and the little guy didn't seem to agree.
"This rain will stop in the afternoon, and I can go tonight." Gu Xuandu chewed on the food in the inn, disliked it, "this inn is mixed with fish and dragons, and hates it very much."
Lin Rufei said: "Okay."
After eating breakfast, he went down the stairs to the inn lobby. Before he arrived, he heard the full voice of Jiang Chaoer. The teenage doll drank the good wine just poured from the gourd in his hand and danced. He told everyone that he nearly died on the river last night, and faintly saw the bad-tempered vulture, but fortunately he didn't see his shrimp, and sank into the water to sleep again.
Everyone listened to him and laughed, saying that Jiang Chaoer, don't drink it, and start talking drunk. Who dares to cross the river this night, you are not afraid to blow the cowhide if you blow like this!
Jiang Chaoer was said to be like this, without being annoyed, he laughed off the topic, but when he saw Lin Rufei coming down the corner of the stairs, a pair of black eyes lit up, his voice was sweet: "Lin Gongzi "
Lin Rufei laughed: "Drinking so early?"
Jiang Chaoer said, "I didn't sleep well at night, and I drank some spirits during the day." He yawned, "When will the son think about crossing the river?"
Lin Rufei said: "Tonight."
"What?" Jiang Chaoer thought he heard it wrong.
"I said to cross the river tonight and take your boat." Lin Rufei whispered.
As soon as this word came out, the whole inn calmed down, and everyone looked at Lin Rufei with an incredible look, all of them were the expression of what kind of medicine the brother had taken, even Jiang Chaoer himself.
He stuttered, "What are you saying, son, son?" He thought he had heard it wrong.
Lin Rufei repeated the words just now.
After listening to Jiang Chaoer, he burst out laughing, and slammed into Lin Rufei like a monkey. He jumped up and down, and even excitedly spilled the wine from the jug. He stared at Lin Rufei with a gaze. Loudly: "Son, are you kidding me?"
Lin Rufei said, "I never make boring jokes."
Jiang Chao screamed excitedly, if it was not stopped by the floating flower Yu Rui, I'm afraid I would have hugged Lin Rufei and started to circle.
All the people in the inn saw the appearance of a ghost, and a kind person advised: "Son, you can't listen to this little ghost flickering. He never goes down the river on a weekday. He got on his boat, doesn't it mean that he entered the gate of the gate ! "
Lin Rufei listened to these words, but just smiled and did not answer. Someone was angry when he saw this. He was about to say something exaggerated to the unknowing son. Then he saw a white light flashing in front of his eyes. Looking back, the wooden table in front of him has been cut in half.
"Everyone be careful." Lin Rufei has been quietly threatening from the floating flowers.
The inn was instantly silent.
Jiang Chaoer didn't care. He smiled brightly. He said he watched the weather. It was raining tonight. Then he took Lin Rufei to cross the river with him, but the carriage would not be able to be brought, but he could put the carriage on. The valuable stuff was taken apart and the horse was sold.
Lin Rufei said no, the two horses are very spiritual. They can be released today, and they will return to Kunlun in a few days.
When Jiang Chaoer heard the word Kunlun, his expression changed slightly, and his grinning voice was a little smaller. He said, "My son ... but the fairy on Kunlun?"
Lin Rufei said: "I'm not." He pointed to the floating flowers and jade cores standing beside him, "They are."
Jiang Chaoer's eyes were straight. Although Lin Rufei said that he was not a fairy, how powerful he was to be a servant girl.
"Although they are magpies, you still have to rely on you to cross the river." Lin Rufei said, "Do you think it's OK tonight?"
"Naturally, naturally." Jiang Chaoer was excited.
Even if this matter is settled, Lin Rufei and Jiang Chaoer set the time and price, crossing the river around Haishi. As for the price, Lin Rufei found a piece of broken gold from his cuff and said that as long as it passed, this It's a reward for Jiang Chaoer. Jiang Chaoer flushed with joy, flushed a few drinks, and said that he would take a rest for half a day, and then came to Lin Rufei in the evening. Then he reluctantly left the inn.
Just now the floating flower was so innocent, no one in the inn dared to offend Lin Rufei, and there were no people around him even where he sat down.
Lin Rufei drank a cup of tea and was called outside by Gu Xuandu.
At this moment, there was still a light rain. A thick layer of water mist was rising over the river. Under the water mist was a rushing river. The river was yellow, and there were faint dark shadows hovering in it, and the people watching were creepy.
"It's not peaceful tonight. Don't block it with your hands when you encounter something." Gu Xuan all took down Gu Yu from the waist and handed it to Lin Rufei, "It's good to use Gu Yu."
Lin Rufei said, "Is it appropriate?"
"There is nothing inappropriate," Gu Xuan said lazily. "I wanted to give you the frost, but ..."
Lin Rufei said, "Just what?"
Gu Xuan didn't say anything. He released Frost Drop from his waist and handed it to Lin Rufei. Lin Rufei reached out curiously. He almost didn't flash his waist. Fortunately, Gu Xuan all helped him, he didn't As for the fall, when I stood still I couldn't help but exclaim: "So heavy."
"Although Frost Drop is small, there are thirteen pounds in the end." Gu Xuandu laughed. "Hang a thirteen pound of iron on the waist ..." Before he finished speaking, Lin Rufei was holding it. The frost in the room made an unpleasant buzzing sound, as if he was blaming Gu Xuandu for saying he was heavy.
Gu Xuandu took the frost, and Wen said, "Gu Yu is right for you now."
Lin Rufei grasped Gu Yu. Somehow, he was a little nervous, and his right hand was slightly hard, so he pulled Gu Yu's white blade out of the scabbard.
Gu Yu's whole body is dark, three feet seven long, weighing eight pounds and seventy two, and there are several deep horizontal stripes engraved on the blade. Even if Lin Rufei does not understand it, he knows it must be a good sword. Being able to pull it out easily also shows that Gu Yu has acknowledged herself, Lin Rufei rejoices, reaches out and flicks the blade, feels the coldness of metal, and Gu Yu buzzes and trembles as if to respond.
Lin Rufei gazed gently at the sword in his hand for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw that Gu Xuandu also showed the same look, but he was watching the sword and Gu Xuan were watching him.
"Go back, it's cold outside, don't catch cold again." Gu Xuandu whispered softly.
Lin Rufei laughed: "Okay, go back."
Suddenly a sword was added to his waist. He was still worried about what the floating flower Yu Rui would ask. Who knew that the two maids felt very similar and did not show anything strange from beginning to end, but let Lin Rufei loose? Tone, don't think about how to explain.
The rain stopped in the afternoon, and the sky was still cloudy and not clear.
The floating flower packed up the carriage and hesitated to ask if Lin Rufei really planned to cross the river with the little guy from Jiang Chao. After getting a positive answer from Lin Rufei, he sighed slightly and bite down. There was a distressed look on his lips.
Lin Rufei roughly guessed what she was thinking, patted her head gently, and comforted: "Don't worry, Jiang Chaoer is a powerful boatman."
Fuhua said: "But he's still so young ..."
Lin Rufei laughed: "He is fourteen this year, and you are not much older than him."
"That's the same." Fuhua mumbled.
"It's the same, don't look at his small size, in fact, people are still reliable." Lin Rufei said, "I watched him cross the Canglan River alone last night, and only came back this morning."
"Really?" Fuhua was surprised.
Lin Rufei said: "Naturally."
With his remarks, Fuhua reluctantly let go of her heart, but she was still a little uneasy, turning her face coldly in the corridor, and those who knew her knew that she was nervous, and those who did not understand thought she was alive. Sulking.
The night was getting dark. Just after Lin Rufei had finished dinner, Jiang Chaoer was carrying his wine gourd, and rushed into the inn, yelling at Lin Rufei with a smile: "Lin Gongzi--"
Lin Rufei said, "Come here?"
"Come here." Jiang Chaoer wiped his face. "Let's eat something and let's go."
Having said that, he asked Xiaoer to ask for a couple of buns, ate it with tea and ate it, patted the dregs on his hands, and waved at Lin Rufei to signal him to follow him.
When the two talked, the people in the inn were silent, but most of them had mocking expressions on their faces, and there were people laughing and gloating. Obviously, I felt that Lin Rufei's brother suddenly entered the water, but he believed Jiang Chaoer. Such a half-sized man whose hairs are not full.
For such things, Lin Rufei has always been too lazy to explain, and with the floating flower Yu Rui, followed Jiang Chaoer out of the inn.
Outside the inn, there is a small road paved with stones. If you go down the path, you will reach the riverside. There is a simple pier on the riverside. There are many ships tied with ropes on the pier. There are beautiful ships and some like Jiang Chaoer. Such a small fishing boat.
Perhaps he felt that his boat was not very beautiful, Jiang Chaoer was a little embarrassed: "The boat is small, the son will not abandon it."
Lin Rufei thought the boat was very interesting, and laughed: "How long has this boat been used?"
"It was uploaded by my ancestors. Good luck, never turned over." Jiang Chaoer said here, his eyes lonely and murmured, "If my father used this boat, I want to come also No ... "He paused and laughed again." You don't have to worry about being crude, I often tinker, it works! "
The boat is indeed very small, and it is very reluctant to accommodate three people in the cabin. Lin Rufei let the floating flowers and Yu Rui stay inside, sitting on the deck himself, watching Jiang Chaoer skillfully release the rope and holding the oars.
The ropes were loosened, and the rickety boat entered the river. Gu Xuandu sat opposite Lin Rufei, bent sideways, and held a handful of yellow river water.
"My son, the wind and waves on the river are strong, you need to sit still." Jiang Chaoer raised a bright smile, and sang a long sigh, "Going out of the river-" said to swing the paddle in his hand, the boat went along the rush The river flowed down and went straight towards the heart of the river.
On the shore of the inn, there were many people who watched the crowd. When they saw Jiang Chaoer's boat actually left the dock and entered the Canglan River, many people's faces were surprised.
Until just now, everyone took Jiang Chaoer's words as a bragging joke. At this time, when the boat entered the river, Jiang Chaoer was paddling, and everyone suddenly realized that this child was serious.
The river was hunting, Lin Rufei's black hair fluttered, his sleeves swaying, and the boat under him was swaying in the river, as if it would be overturned by the next wave. Jiang Chaoer, who was standing on the bow of the boat, became a Dinghai needle on the boat. The water splashed and soaked his clothes, but the boy still had an exaggerated smile on his face. He took a drink of gourd in his arms. : "Master pays attention-it's about to turn-" said to pull up the sails suddenly and adjust the direction of the boat.
The boat was turned by the wind, avoiding the looming reef. Lin Rufei had such a novel experience when he crossed the river for the first time, and found it particularly interesting, watching it intently.
"Master, hurry up!" Jiang Chaoer yelled.
Another violent wave came, and the boat made a sour creak. Lin Rufei propped his mast and looked at the roaring river, raising his voice: "How many times have you traveled back and forth?"
"I don't know the number—" Jiang Chaoer laughed. "After my father died, I was left alone in the family. I thought that the handicraft could not be buried like this, so I wanted to be a ferryman. It's a pity that I am young and thin, so few guests believe me! "
Also, compared to other strong ferries, Jiang Chaoer's appearance is really hard to win. Coupled with the precipitous Canglan River, which ferry would dare to joke about his life?
"But it doesn't matter. When I get older, it is the most powerful ferryman here. If the son wants to take a boat, he will come to me, and I promise to send you safely—" Zhang Qiang of the young man was not on him. Nasty, Jiang Chaoer smiled openly and said the wildest words in a childish tone.
Lin Rufei was infected by his smile and laughed.
"After this big bend, this is where the evil owl lives." Jiang Chaoer reached out and wiped the water on his face, whispering his throat, "There are more reef whirlpools over there, boy, you can sit down. , Be careful not to slide into the water! "
Both sides of the strait are as steep as canyons, and people walk through the river, like a ridge between heaven and earth, walking along the river, turning over steep curves, and disappearing into the eyes of the inn.
The sky was too dark, and everyone could not see what Jiang Chaoer looked like, but it was faintly seen that a small boat was wagging down the river. Although the river was anxious, it could not capsize the boat. Taking a low sip toward the ground, he said, "The kid must be laughing again." But after saying this, he couldn't help but show a smile.
After the big bend of the canyon, the scenery on both sides gradually changed, with pine and cypresses standing on the steep cliffs, decorating the bare yellow rocks into a blue color. Birds and apes can't stop crying, but the loudest sound is still the rapids at their feet.
"This time, it will take at least three hours. It ’s quite fast when I go. It ’s troublesome to come back." Jiang Chaoer saw Lin Rufei full of curiosity, and introduced the Canglan River. There will be a southerly wind in the river. I will ride back on the southerly wind. It is not too tiring. I just need to pay more attention. "
Lin Rufei said: "Have you ever encountered a bad guy?"
"Hey, I found it out. Although the evil spirits often came out to eat people during the day, there was nothing moving in the evening. I never encountered crossing at night. I need to be careful in the early morning." Jiang Chaoer laughed "There are not many people who dare to cross at night ... It is no easier for Jiang to get angry than that."
The river was turbulent at night, and the view was poor. Unless forced to do so, almost no one crossed at night. That is, Jiang Chaoer, who is not afraid of death, came back and forth to touch the river.
The boat moved forward for a while, and seemed to have passed the most dangerous position. Jiang Chaoer hummed in a good mood, but Gu Xuandu, who was sitting opposite Lin Rufei and had a good time watching the mountain scenery, suddenly stood up. He sounded dissatisfied.
"Senior?" Lin Rufei noticed something sensitively.
Sure enough, Gu Xuan all said, "Here it is."
The original rapids of the river suddenly burst into bubbles, Jiang Chaoer saw this scene, his face changed greatly, and he looked to the boat in horror.
Although the sky was very dark, a faint shadow could be seen slowly moving under the water, eventually covering the entire boat.
The floating flowers and Yu Rui, who had been in the cabin, noticed something and raised their hands to open the curtain.
"How, how!" Jiang Chaoer was desperate, watching the shadow of the boat gradually floating around the water, his voice trembling, "Isn't it sleeping at night, how could it--"
The shadows became more and more obvious, and even raised dorsal fins began to surface. The dorsal fins were full of tight black scales and sharp bone spurs. Don't guess, you also know who the master of the shadow is.
Circle by circle, the shadow slowly surrounded the dilapidated boat, followed by a long hissing, the sound of the water, a giant, rising slowly from the river, bringing shelter from the sky. Daily oppression. Above the giant, a pair of narrow eyes emit pale yellow light, and the pupils standing in the eyes look very evil.
This night, the vulture lurking in the river was actually asleep, Jiang Chaoer sat idly on the ship's board, his eyes staring at the behemoth in front of him.
Compared with evil spirits, his boat is not even as big as one of his fingers. It seems that with a single breath, the wooden boat will easily break into several pieces.
"My son ... My son, you run away ..." Without knowing how to summon up the courage, Jiang Chaoer grabbed the oars, shook his body and gritted his teeth, stood in front of Lin Rufei, trembled, " Hurry up and let your maid take you away, I, I will stop him. "
He put his hands lightly on Jiang Chaoer's shoulders, he turned back and saw the boy in his mouth. The boy's face was still smiling, and the smile was not reluctant. Instead, he said something of comfort, and slowly said, "Go ahead and hide with them."
Jiang Chaoer stopped.
Then, the son said something that Jiang Chaoer would never forget, he said, "Go, don't stand outside, lest the river water get wet later."
Son ... just worried about the river getting wet? Jiang Chaoer thought unconsciously. As if in response to his thoughts, the huge evil spirit in front of him suddenly opened his mouth and issued a violent hissing sound. The wind beat on his face with a stinky smell. He even saw the row of evil spirits in his mouth. Fine and sharp teeth ... if it really bites down, it must hurt ... this is the last thought before Jiang Chaoer fainted.
Gu Xuandu stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Rufei. In the face of the oncoming wind, he was unhappy to pinch his nose with his hand, and fanned out in front of him. He said, "Do n’t call it , Bad breath. "
As soon as this word came out, Lin Rufei actually saw a bit of grievance from the evil face.
The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: Xiao Lee intentionally smoked me!
Lin Rufei thought for a moment and handed Gu Xuandu two garlic leek buns.
Gu Xuandu: ………………
Feeling it, the throat seems to be stuffed with something terrible _ (： з 」∠) _
