There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Chapter 22 The boat returns 02
"How, how -" The strong and strong man in the lead was filled with annoyance and was about to explode.

"Is there any kind person who has a basin filled with clean water? Can you lend it to me?" She straightened up again, took out a few coins, and spoke as loudly as possible, "I can prove the innocence of these two ladies."

The tea stall vendor by the ferry had a keen eye and immediately brought a wooden basin full of water.

The big man at the head flicked his brows and panicked a little. Just when he was about to raise his legs and retreat, he felt that his feet were so dizzy that he couldn't move them as if they were filled with lead grout. "You, you, you, me, me"

Shen Huihe made a gesture with one hand hidden under his sleeve, and suddenly reached for his waist with the other hand, untied the belt around his waist in three strokes, and then dipped it in In the water basin.

"what?"

The passers-by who were watching couldn't wait to come over to find out.

"Why is there a layer of grease floating on the water basin? Why are there sesame seeds?"

The pedestrians at the front were all startled and looked at her confused, not knowing what she meant.

Shen Huihe wiped his hands and looked up at him fearlessly: "Brother, how come your belt is stained with grease and sesame shavings? Look at their hands, they don't look like they can afford sesame cakes. People!”

"You, you, you." The big man's face turned green and white, and he couldn't utter a single word. "Then, who did you say stole my money bag?"

Shen Huihe smiled, looked behind him, pointed in a certain direction and said loudly: "That's him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the big man at the head was stunned with shock!
"How, how could it be you——"

The man who was identified looked away and shrugged his shoulders.Although there was nothing greasy on his hands, there was a small food bag wrapped in oil paper prominently pinned to his waist.

"He Liu, is it really you-"

The person identified was the subordinate of the big man, who was standing behind him in a panic.

"Brother, no, it's not me, it's this little lady who's talking nonsense -"

Shen Huihe interrupted him: "Whether it's true or not, you can tell with a quick search. He Liu has been staying here just now, so the money bag must still be on him!"

Then He Liu knew that he had no power to argue anymore, so he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"You bastard." The big man at the head was so angry that he kicked his nose and face, wishing he could take out the sword from his waist and cut him into pieces.

A farce of self-stealing came to an abrupt end with the louder and louder sound of the boarding gong!

The middle-aged woman was tall and thin. She quickly wiped the corners of her scarlet eyes and led the young lady to come with her to say thank you.

"Thank you so much, ma'am, for your help. Madam Zhen, let's go to the ferry -"

Shen Huihe and the middle-aged woman were both startled.The little lady called Zhen Niang raised her eyes and stared at her, her hands tightly holding half of her robe, showing no sign of letting go.

"Sister, sister, do you want to board the ship too?" Her voice was clear and clear, mixed with a hint of shyness and uneasiness.

The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes and hurriedly said: "Thanks to Madam, you came to the rescue just now. Maybe Zhenniang was frightened just now, and Zhenniang regards you as someone close to you. Madam, you also want to You’re going to Cangzhou, how about we board the ship together?”

Shen Huihe shook his head and vaguely remembered all the tragic things that happened to her when she was this age.She couldn't bear it, so she followed the two of them to board the ship.Shen Huihe led the two of them to the inner cabin, and there was a chance to find a clean wicker chair. When he took a step, his sleeve was suddenly pulled by the young lady beside him.

"Zhenniang, what's wrong?"

Zhenniang shook her head and timidly tugged on one of her sleeves: "Madam, I, we won't go inside."

She was stunned and realized immediately, because the cabin was full of rough and dirty men.The three of them returned to the deck and found a corner to sit down.

The boat swayed slightly and slowly sailed out of the ferry, stirring up circles of blue ripples.

Shen Huihe looked outside and took a look. He felt that the river water today was gentler than the one that splashed on the edge of the cliff at the foot of the mountain yesterday.

She turned around, her heart trembling, and saw the three or four rough men who had made trouble getting on the boat.Although everyone looked calm, they were not completely angry.

"It's really thanks to you, madam, that you came to the rescue. Otherwise, neither of us would have known what to do." The middle-aged woman spoke softly and patted Zhen Niang's back gently.Zhenniang leaned on the woman's leg and fell asleep in a daze.

"You're welcome, ma'am." She came back to her senses and responded with a smile.

"Old woman, I have a small house in Cangzhou where I can stay and rest. If I don't mind it, you can come with us after we get off the boat. This can be regarded as repaying your life-saving grace. I wonder what I call you?"

"Thank you, aunt. You can call me Mrs. Shen. But I have already made arrangements, so I won't bother you." Shen Huihe smiled and leaned on the wooden pillar on one side to loosen his leg bones and support his arms.

"Then the old woman won't force Mrs. Shen on you. The old woman's surname is Miao. Mrs. Shen can call the old woman aunt like Zhenniang."

"Okay! Thank you Aunt Miao."

The high mountains on both sides of the river slowly unfolded like a splash-ink landscape scroll, and the thousands of miles of scenery suddenly opened up in front of us, with the sea wide and the sky high.The great river leaps into the painting, and like a celebrity with an immortal spirit, everyone is waving their sleeves and painting freely and freely. They lift and press to embellish and bloom, making the river full of sparkling waves and water.

"People often say that the Nu River has invisible joy, anger, and turbulent waves. Today, when I saw it with my own eyes, I think the water and sky in the Cangjiang River are the same color, which is really beautiful!"

Aunt Miao was startled and looked at her with a smile: "I think it must be the first time for Mrs. Shen to come to our Cangzhou. Although the scenery of the Cangjiang River is beautiful, it is also extremely dangerous, especially near the Ailao Mountain where the water is fast and the river is very dangerous. It’s quite bumpy!”

"I see, thank you Aunt Miao for your advice."

Sometimes Zhen Niang licked her dry cherry lips, sometimes she raised the corners of her lips, still in a sweet dream and never woke up.

Only two quarters of an hour later, the Jiangguoguo below became really manic and anxious, like tigers and cheetahs gearing up and eager to try, green wolves rolling and rolling, one wave after another, and the hull began to rock.

"Ms. Shen, don't panic, bumps like this are normal." Aunt Miao saw her frowning slightly and quickly comforted her softly.

boom--

There was a loud noise from the bottom of the ship, and the whole ship shook violently!
"Aunt Miao, the undercurrent here is really powerful."

Aunt Miao hugged the little lady in her arms tighter: "Ms. Shen, I guess we are about to arrive at Ailao Mountain——"
