Wang Yue Han

Chapter 18: The Wind and Rain in Dongting

"Aren't you angry?" Jiang Zihan sensed that someone was approaching behind him, knowing that the boatman would not come here, so he continued to look at the distant river without looking back, watching the last ray of the setting sun fall into the river , and then the whole world was shrouded in night. Today, the outline of the crescent moon is a bit hazy, and the moonlight is not particularly clear. It is a bit like the folk saying that the moon has long hair and it will rain; "I am not so stingy." Yan Ziyao walked over to Jiang Zihan Sitting side by side on the bow of the boat, the moon in the sea is in the ripples of the river, sometimes closing and sometimes spreading away, just like the ups and downs of the world, and like a dream bubble, which will be disillusioned at any time; "You are not stingy? I said a word." The bow deck is flat, just flat, Jiang Zihan lay down and put his hands behind his head, but unfortunately there were only a few scattered points in the night sky; "Who told you to tease me?" Yan Ziyao put his hands together. Standing on both sides, a pair of long legs hanging outside the railings of the boat, swaying unconsciously, the passenger boat has entered the bustling ferry, there are dim lights on both sides of the river bank, who holds the fishing lights to light Jiang Feng, the passenger boat is drunk and exquisite; the two have their own worries, but unexpectedly The passenger ship seemed to have bumped into something and stopped suddenly. Yan Ziyao lost his balance and was almost thrown out. Fortunately, Jiang Zihan grabbed him from behind in time and did not fall into the water. The two quickly got up and went to the front to ask: "Old man, What's going on?"; the boatman was looking under the boat, the river in this area is not very deep, and some hidden reefs often shift with the river water, the boatman can avoid it skillfully in the past, could it be that he hit something evil today?The boatman thought for a long time before saying, "Probably the oar hit the reef and broke." Once the oar was broken, the boat couldn't move and had to be replaced. The boatman hadn't encountered such a thing for many years. , but I have already met them, so I can only find a rope, tie one end of the rope to the pile, and tie the other end to my waist to climb down the side of the boat; the boatman has been half a hundred years old It's too dangerous to go on like this, Yan Ziyao hurried up to stop him, and asked: "Old man, what are you going to do?" It’s gone.” The boatman explained with an apology on his face, everyone in the world hopes for a safe trip, if such a thing happens to a bad-tempered guest, his life may not be guaranteed; “Then tell me what to do, I will Come to help you." While speaking, Yan Ziyao untied the rope from the boatman's waist and put it on himself, then turned to Jiang Zihan and said, "Zihan, you also come to help, pull me."; the boatman Unable to hold back Yan Ziyao's enthusiasm, he had no choice but to lie on top of Yan Ziyao and guide him on how to act after he went down, while Jiang Zihan seriously tugged on the rope, complaining in his heart: "Zi Han, Zi Han, we are so close, do we know each other well? "But in fact, he is more happy, because this also means that Yan Ziyao has begun to change, and he no longer rejects his identity so much; Yan Ziyao is learning and selling, and he will soon finish the work, so Jiang Zihan will pull him up , it is better to be ordinary in front of mortals, don't let those Xuanmen spells frighten others, the boatman is very touched when he meets such an employer, not only does not blame himself, but also helps himself, wait for Yan Ziyao to come up to explain After getting off the rope, he held the rope and said happily: "The two young brothers are really great adults. Not only did they not care about me, but they also helped me. Thank you very much."; "It's nothing, just do what you can." To be kind to others is to be kind to yourself. This is the simplest way to be a human being. The cycle of cause and effect, good and evil will eventually be rewarded. Maybe he Yan Ziyao can't peek into the ugliness of people's hearts, but he will definitely not do evil. After working for a while, Yan Ziyao was already sweating profusely, so he wiped his face with his sleeve casually, but Jiang Zihan covered his mouth and let out a snigger, Yan Ziyao asked puzzledly: "What are you laughing at?"; "That... Nothing, nothing, just saw a big tabby cat accidentally, that cat is so cute." Jiang Zihan put down his hand covering his lips, took out a folding fan from his waist, held it in his hand, opened it with a clatter, and strode across the cabin Later, because he was afraid of staying any longer, he would laugh out loud regardless of his image; the boatman also saw the dirt on Yan Ziyao's face, so he hurried to fetch a clean sweat towel and handed it to Yan Ziyao: "Wipe your face. Well, there is still about half an hour away from the docking port, so I have to wrong you first."; "Oh, thank you." Yan Ziyao took the sweat towel and wiped his face, and only calmed down when he heard the word wronged for no reason. , I suddenly understood in my heart that the little cat Jiang Zihan was referring to was himself. In a rage, Yan Ziyao wiped his face and returned the sweat towel to the boatman, and ran to the back to "seek revenge"; the two played behind, It caused the boat to shake a little, but luckily the boatman was experienced and stopped the boat in the harbor to rest on time. Yan Ziyao hurriedly found a source of water to wash himself, and Jiang Zihan also changed and washed himself along the way.

Two days later, the passenger boat stopped and went, and it was close to the border of Dongting Lake. Today, the fog on the river has been lingering for a long time, and the sun has not yet appeared. I am afraid that the wind and rain are coming. The boatman holds the boat firmly. Hurrying on the road, it would be bad if there was a big storm on the river. Yan Ziyao got up early in the morning and accompanied Jiang Zihan to enjoy the fog while blowing the river wind. The flowers and flowers in the fog looked like fog, and the figures were blurred; "Yan Ziyao Key, do you feel that today is different from the past?” Today is too quiet, usually at this hour, there will be a return passenger ship passing by, but today it is so quiet that no birds are heard; “It is indeed unusually quiet, is something going to happen? "The longer the boat sailed, the thicker the fog, and the wind and waves began to rise on the calm river, the sails swayed slightly in the wind, and the silver bell on Jiang Zihan's waist rang softly; the closer to Dongting Lake, the stronger the wind , and then there were raindrops falling from the sky, gradually converging into a heavy rain, the boatman firmly held the oars, controlled the direction, those who live on water are most afraid of strong winds and waves, especially his passenger ship is not as strong as those giant ships going out to sea, how much it can withstand The wind and waves, the torrential rain instantly gathered the waves and washed them away. When the water rose, the hurricane suddenly rose. The strong wind broke the sails, and the passenger ship lost its stability and swayed from side to side. Weng fell into the water and shouted for help for a moment, saving people is the most important thing, Jiang Zihan didn't care about anything else, flew up and flew to the place where the boatman fell into the water, knocked him unconscious and brought him back to the boat, watching the silver bell around Jiang Zihan's waist vibrate more and more Great, Yan Ziyao became serious now, thinking there was a monster nearby, he turned around and jumped into the air, shouting at Jiang Zihan: "Give me the silver bell."; "Go on." Jiang Zihan used magic to settle the boatman Alright, pull off the silver bell around his waist and throw it at Yan Ziyao; Yan Ziyao freezes his sword in the air, catches the demon bell firmly, puts it in front of his eyes, closes his eyes and twists his finger to cast a spell, to find out where the evildoer is, The demon-detecting bell jingled endlessly, emitting bursts of light. When the result was found, Yan Ziyao opened his eyes awe-inspiringly, and followed it, "Hey! Wait for me!" When he was in a hurry, he simply locked the entire passenger ship with an enchantment to prevent the occupant from encountering any accidents, and he hurried to catch up with Yan Ziyao; Tan Yaoling led Yan Ziyao to the Dongting Lake with his sword. The wind was raging and the rain was rushing, and it was hard to see in the confusion. He was about to find out, and suddenly someone pressed his shoulder from behind. He didn't ask who was coming, and subconsciously swung his sword and cut; "Hey, It's me!" Jiang Zihan leaned back to avoid the light of the sword, afraid that Yan Ziyao would strike again, so he quickly got up and grabbed Yan Ziyao's sword hand to reveal his identity, and the current situation is indeed indistinguishable; the distance between the two is extremely close , After seeing each other clearly, Yan Ziyao let go of his guard: "Do you monsters like to appear from behind people so much?" And it came quietly, is it to show off that you are as light as a swallow?Yan Ziyao pouted, and wanted to say something again, but Jiang Zihan suddenly stretched out his index finger and pressed Yan Ziyao's lips, preventing him from opening his mouth; Jiang Zihan pricked up his ears, as if there were children crying nearby, Yan Ziyao was unwilling to be silenced by him, Impatiently, he pushed the finger away from his lips, and said displeasedly: "Just say something, why don't people talk!"; "Did you hear the cry of a child?" Jiang Zihan listened again, If someone was really crying, he looked for the sound of crying and went deep through the fog. The crying was too small, Yan Ziyao didn't hear it, but he could only curse in his heart that he was bored and followed him. The further he went, the children were crying It became more and more obvious that Yan Ziyao could hear one or two, but the ringing of the demon hunting bell became more and more intense.

After the two carefully penetrated the mist, they saw the crying child at the entrance of a cave. It looked like an eight-year-old boy. How could there be a child crying here?Or... is he the monster that stirs up trouble?Yan Ziyao raised his sword and wanted to go up to catch the demon, but Jiang Zihan grabbed him, "He's just a child."

"Child? How do you know that this isn't a monster transformed to confuse sentient beings!" Yan Ziyao had been fooled by a spider spirit before, and he didn't want to make the same mistake again this time. After all, how could a child from an ordinary family come to such a place to cry? ?

The two of them argued endlessly with each other, but the crying person over there was crying more and more sadly, and the more he cried, the stronger the storm; after arguing for a long time to no avail, Jiang Zihan finally brought out the bet between the two, and finally persuaded Yan Ziyao to let him I went to ask the reason before, after all, the child doesn't seem to be pretending, but is really sad...
