River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 19 It was her
'So this girl is still so young? ! '

Looking at the red silk on her body, Jiang Ling already recognized her.

'It's a pity that I was too busy to take care of myself that day, and I didn't have the energy to save you again. '

In the situation that day, in the flood, it was a fluke for one person to escape, let alone bring another one.

The boy at the bow of the boat was about to follow his advice while supporting the bamboo pole, Jiang Ling suddenly said: "Since we have encountered it, why do we ignore it and ignore it?"

The other passengers didn't say anything, and the old man said: "It's not that we don't care, but the waterway is begging for food. We should take care of it, and we can't take care of it."

"It's pitiful to look at. Why don't you help me move her to the shore, if I pay for it, the boatman, so that she can be buried safely?"

When the other passengers heard it, they all felt strange and resisted.

How can the ship of the living carry the dead?
The boatman also said: "It's unlucky to meet it. If we touch it again, I'm afraid it will be bad."

Waving hands to refuse, no promise.

"Five or two."

Jiang Ling took out the only silver coins left on him, five taels and one ingot.

The boatman drove the boat to carry passengers, and each guest only charged ten copper coins.

Five taels of silver can be worth months of hard work.

Seeing this, he finally hesitated.

When the other passengers saw it, they said, "This ship for living people can't carry dead people."

"If this gets out, who will dare to take your boat in the future?"

Even if they don't need to say these words, the boatman himself knows it.

It's just five taels of silver, which is really a lot.

Pointing to the river bank, Jiang Ling suddenly said, "There's no need to get her into the boat, just help me get her to the bank."

The boatman finally spoke: "Guest, do you know the origin of that female corpse?"

"No matter what the origin is, I can't bear to look at it." Jiang Ling concealed.

The boatman said again: "As the saying goes, people rely on mountains to eat mountains and rivers to drink water. Those of us who live by water have our own rules. When we come across these things, we have always been forbidden to touch them.

Listen to my advice, don't mind this nosy business.There are often dead bodies in the world, and if you see too many, you can't bear it. "

Jiang Ling also knew that death is nothing but a skin, and it doesn't make any difference whether to bury it or not.

But this female corpse has a different meaning to him.As a co-worshipee, if I see it now, if I still turn a blind eye, thinking about it later, I'm afraid it will be hard to understand.

'When she was alive, she couldn't be saved; now that she is dead, at least help her bury her body. '

"Just help me bring her to the shore, and I will disembark myself. In this way, this matter is done by me alone, and it has nothing to do with you, how about it?"

Seeing that Jiang Ling gave another step, the boatman finally let go: "You are a kind guest, if so, I have no reason for the old man not to make money."

After all, he asked his son to dock the boat.

Jiang Ling stepped out with the yellow dog, and the five liang of silver was given as he said, and stuffed into the old man's hand.

The old man took the money to do business, and helped push the female corpse to the shore with a penny. In the end, he didn't even want the penny and threw it on the bank.

It seems that this matter is really taboo.

"Since the guests have landed, this boat will not be able to wait for you anymore. You must know that it is difficult to meet other boats in this wilderness." Just as he was about to leave, the old man reminded again.

"It's okay, you go on your own."

Seeing this, the old man stopped talking, and when he was leaving, he threw a piece of sheepskin to Jiangling: "Put it on your head, it can protect you from the rain."

"Thanks."

The sheepskin was draped over his body, Jiang Ling grabbed the girl's hands and feet and pulled it up.

The eight or nine-year-old girl's body was swollen, but her bones were extremely thin, so she wasn't too heavy.

The bank on this side leads directly to the barren mountains. It is indeed a wilderness with no human habitation in sight.

It was raining again, and the sky was misty, as dark as a curtain of darkness.

"Hey! I don't have any tools in my hand, so I can only find a spacious place to bury you."

Dozens of steps away from the shore, there is a rock pit, more than two feet long and wide.

Seeing that it was suitable, Jiangling dug up the dirt with a sharp stone, and the yellow dog saw it and also helped with his feet.

Strange to say, it pulled out its claws much faster than Jiang Ling's hands.

Not long after, the pit was dug by itself, and then the female corpse was placed in it.

Bury it with sand.

"I don't know your name. I searched my memory, but I don't seem to have seen you. Life is hard in this life. I hope you will join a good family in the next life. Don't suffer like this again."

He stepped back and bowed three times before leaving.

Walking along the bank of the river, there are also some mountain roads, but they are bumpy and rough, and I don't know where to go.

Can only go by feeling.

Not long after, the rain gradually subsided, but the sky became darker and darker.

In the shallow water of the river bank, a large fish suddenly appeared, resting on the shallows, wagging its tail.

The fish was black and fat, weighing at least ten catties.

"Looks like lunch, already."

Jiangling held a wooden stick and wanted to catch it in the water.

But as soon as he took a step, the yellow dog bit his trouser leg, buzzed, and pulled him back.

"Why?"

Jiang Ling looked back at it, and it suddenly let go, barking wildly at the fish.

Jiang Ling wondered, "Could it be that you think it's dangerous for me to go into the water?"

The yellow dog barked, as if he really understood what he said, and responded.

Jiang Ling smiled, "This is just a shoal, the water is less than knee deep, so where is the danger?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his stick to measure the depth of the water.

But it was an accident, but it was a surprise.

When he probed the water with the stick in his hand, he found no bottom.

Although there are aquatic plants all over the surrounding area, the bottom is covered with soft silt, if people step into it, they will sink into it.

The six-foot wooden branch has no bottom, it can be seen that the depth of the mud is far more than six feet.

Jiang Ling, who had reacted, felt terrified.

Looking at the yellow dog again, his eyes showed gratitude: "You are a good dog, and you have noticed such danger."

But the yellow dog barked at the black fish with fierce eyes.

Not long after, the black fish suddenly tossed up, whipped up a wave, disappeared among the aquatic plants in the blink of an eye.

The yellow dog chased and barked for dozens of meters along the coast, and the barking echoed in the mountains.

"Master, be careful."

Suddenly, Nie Qian's voice came softly from the burden on her back.

Jiang Ling said unexpectedly: "Oh? Now it's almost noon, and you can appear?"

"This side has never been illuminated for thousands of miles, and the rainy weather is no different from the night. Although it is inconvenient for me to show up directly, there is no hindrance to verbal communication."

"I see. Just now, I didn't expect that the water on this bank looks shallow, but there is actually such a danger hidden."

"Master, what you need to be careful of is not this mud, but that fish. It is not an ordinary fish at all. It is also a dead fish. Legend has it that it is an old ghost in the river. It is specially transformed into a fish to lure people into the water.

If you really try to catch it, it will try to kill you. "

"Replace the dead fish?" Jiang Ling suddenly realized, "No wonder Da Huang barks when he sees it."

"It's just the master's carelessness. Otherwise, with the master's ability, it will not be able to deceive the master's eyes." Nie Qian said.

In her heart, Jiang Ling is a man with great power and a hidden secret.

Jiang Ling smiled wryly to himself, saying that even if he wasn't careless, I really didn't see it at all.

After thinking about it, he thought, since the power in [Yuanchi] can be used everywhere, if the eyes are given, can the so-called magic eyes be opened?

With this in mind, he closed his eyes tightly and mobilized the power of [Yuanchi] to hover over his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes turned green, and he looked at the river again. A few dozen meters away, a black shadow with long disheveled hair was swimming under the muddy water, sometimes it looked like a fish, sometimes it looked like a human.

On the shore, the yellow dog was chasing it, barking wildly.
