Jiumudu took us out at ten o'clock, and before four o'clock in the afternoon, we arrived at the river that jiumudu said.

However, once we enter the mountain road, we can see that it is very close, but it will take some time to get there. Especially at the 18th bend of the mountain road, although the chassis of Jiumu ferry's car is very high, it's not hard to drive, but it's a bit bumpy, but it also takes some effort to get to the river. After four o'clock, Jiumu ferry was a little worried, The car is very fast on the grass in the mountains, and the bumpy people have some pain in their viscera.

However, this road looks ok. It's a good thing to arrive early before dark, so I can't stand it any more.

As for Ouyang Li, it is obvious that he has never been in such a bumpy car, so that his face is more and more bad all the way down, but Jiumu ferry people. I don't know whether it is to appease Ouyang Li and me, or something else, but he told us a lot of things.

I'm not interested in most of what jiumudu says. Even if there are two little demons in his story, I'm not interested.

Before dark, the car finally arrived at the destination. Before it stopped, I heard the clattering sound of running water, but the sound was strange. It seemed that something was playing with the water, not the wind. The water was moving.

When the car stopped, Jiumu ferry people got out of the car, but I seemed to be a little scattered. I didn't get out of the car so soon.

Ouyang Li pushed the door open first, then stepped out of the car.

Looking at me, Ouyang Li said, "the road is bumpy. Ning'er will have a rest in the car first, and then come down."

After all, Ouyang Li understood me and knew that I couldn't walk any more, so I nodded and sat in the car.

After getting off the bus, Ouyang Li went to the river and stood there looking into the river.

In fact, it's not a big river. It's just a small river that is not very wide. It may be a tributary of some big river.

The grass on the river bank has turned yellow, but the reeds are still swaying with the wind on both sides. There is no moon tonight. Originally, I can't see these clearly, but the car doesn't turn off, and the car lights are on, which makes me see more clearly around.

At the moment, I also saw a small boat docked on the Bank of the river. The boat was not very big. If it carried no more than five or six people.

There is a rope tied to a stake on the Bank of the boat, and there is an old oil lamp hanging on the boat. Maybe there is a strong wind on the river. When the wind blows, the old oil lamp begins to wobble.

Ouyang Li stopped when he went to the Bank of the river and stood with his hands down. It was like he was born with the momentum. As soon as he stood there, the whole river suddenly became quiet. But the silence was only for a while, and soon the river began to roar again.

After a break, I pushed the car door open and got out of the car. Jiumudu came back to close the car. He went to the bank with a light in his hand and stood there. He illuminated the river with a light. Then Ouyang Li and I said, "this river is called Tianqing river. It's a fishing place for villagers nearby. Usually, people come here before dawn, Later in the evening, it's ten o'clock.

But in recent days, there are always people wandering on the river all night. In the morning, they say that they can't walk out, and they don't know if they have bumped into something. These two days, it's quiet here, but there are no people at night, but it's also more and more strange here. Especially at 12 o'clock in the evening, the middle of the river will be tumbling. I went to check it several times, and I can't see anything. "

Listen to Jiumu ferry people say so, Ouyang Li frowned: "how many years have you been on this river?"

"I've been here since I was three, nearly forty years." Forty years. That's a long time.

Jiumu ferry said and walked to the boat. Ouyang Li followed him. Then he turned around and gave me his hand. Naturally, I followed him up.

Jiumudu untied the rope and rowed towards the center of the river.

The boat was rickety. Fearing that I would not be able to stand steadily, Ouyang Li held me in his arms and looked around while listening to Jiumu ferry.

Seeing Ouyang Li, I also looked around, but I really couldn't see what was around me. At this time, the river was quiet, but there was no sound.

"Is the river spacious?" I asked suddenly, and interrupted some of jiumudu's words. However, jiumudu's words were all about fishing nearby. I really didn't think it was very important there, so I interrupted directly.

Jiumudu was not angry, so he said to me, "it's ten kilometers wide. It's a big river. Although it's not wide, it's actually very wide."

"How many trips do you have in a night?" Ouyang Li asked, Jiumu ferry people said: "I can only ferry people once a night, a round-trip also daybreak."

After listening to what jiumudu said, Ouyang Li and I understood what was going on. The reason why he was so anxious to come back was that he took Ouyang Li and me to the center of the river. He was worried that we couldn't get there before 12 o'clock, so we had to go ahead of time, so that Ouyang Li and I could see what was rolling up in the center.

"You've been here for forty years. There must have been some wrongs on this river." Ouyang Li asked me, and I was listening in. Jiumu ferry said, "this river is so big that one or two of them will fall into the water. Besides, where there is water, there will be water ghosts, just big or small."

"So you know the water devil here?" I suddenly asked, in fact, I have heard something.

Jiumudu people are here to ferry people. That's a little errand on the river. There are water ghosts under the water, but he can still live here. First, he has a good relationship with water ghosts. Second, jiumudu people are really powerful, and the water ghosts here are afraid of him.

Listen to me, Jiumu duren laughed: "to tell you the truth, the water ghost here and I have been friends for many years, and I don't know him. But this time, he didn't know what happened. He didn't show up all the time. I was also worried that he would be poisoned."

I see. No wonder I always feel worried about jiumudu. I must be worried about his old friend.

In this way, Ouyang Li and I didn't talk any more, but it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and Jiumu ferry was still rowing safely.

"Ning'er, take a rest. I'll call you when you arrive." Ouyang Li raised his hand and put my eyes on the river. He put his arms around me and sat down on a stool, letting me sleep in his arms.

In fact, there is a better place to rest on board than here, and it's not cold.

But Ouyang Li didn't go in, but sat outside the boat and looked around. I intended to open my eyes and have a look, but Ouyang Li said in my ear: "Ning'er has a rest. There is no need for Ning'er here for the time being."

After listening to Ouyang Li's words, I thought that if Ouyang Li had something to say to Jiumu ferry, I couldn't say anything. So I leaned against him and relaxed.

Although the river is a bit shady, when I fell asleep, I felt something covering me. It must be Ouyang Li's clothes, so I would open my eyes, but Ouyang Li said, "sleep."

In fact, I don't want to sleep and I don't feel sleepy, but I don't know if Ouyang Li's voice is too good. As soon as I heard his low voice with a little magnetism, I felt sleepy and fell asleep after leaning against him.

I don't know what Ouyang Li said or did after that.

But when I woke up, it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and I heard the sound of nine eyes crossing people, I woke up.

Jiumudu said strangely, "it's strange. There's no movement this evening. Do you know that you're here? I'm afraid of the things below."

Listen to Jiumu ferry said I just opened my eyes, and then Ouyang Li looked down at me, raised his hand and rubbed my head, I looked at Ouyang Li is a bit of trance.

At this time, the river is quiet, and the moon doesn't know when it will come out. The moonlight on the river is quiet and elegant, and the face of Ouyang Li, which is also reflected, is somewhat charming.

Looking at Ouyang Li, I was in a trance. Thinking of the dream the night before yesterday, I raised my hand and touched Ouyang Li's chiseled cheek. Ouyang Li's cheek was still hot, so I felt relieved.

After all, the king of bones is the bone of Ouyang Li's body. It's normal to have his charm, so I don't think about it any more. Instead, I rely on his arms to listen to his heart beating and feel the temperature from his body.

Seeing that I was so quiet, Ouyang Li got up and stood up with me. Then he looked at me on the river and said, "wait a minute."

Jiumu ferry man nodded, stopped the boat in the middle of the river, and then sat down to rest. It seemed that he had never stopped rowing. He should be tired.

After a while, jiumudu lit a tobacco pot. When I saw the pot, I thought of the old man. I thought of the old man. I had never seen him since he died.

Jiumudu took two puffs of cigarettes and looked at me, "you are so similar to your mother."

I was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "I haven't seen my mother."

"Some things can't be forced. They've been predestined. When your parents were alive, they knew that their death was the day you were born. But they still chose to face them calmly. They are much luckier than some people."

"My parents can exorcise ghosts, too?" When I asked, Jiumu duren laughed: "your parents are just ordinary people. They are proficient in some numerology and can't exorcise ghosts, but they are all good people."

Nine eyes ferry people finish saying also no longer speak, and I did not ask what, people died, they gave birth to me, I am naturally grateful, think they have never regretted, just like I will not regret.

It's a good thing not to think about the past and cling to the present. I hope they can be reincarnated into a good family and meet again in the next life.

It seemed that he knew what I was thinking. Ouyang Li raised his lips and laughed, but his smile was fleeting. Before I had time to see it, I calmed down. I just took a look and looked towards the center of the river.
