The Tale Never Ends - v12 Chapter 26

To say that this era is not a peaceful era. Water thieves, old robbers, water ghosts, and river monsters are not uncommon. So the boatman’s words are not groundless.

Han Sheng took a closer look, and there was nothing but reeds around the woman. Xin said that at this time, a weak woman trapped in such a place, I am afraid it is difficult to live. This is not the way to learn from, how can there be demons and ghosts? Even if she is a gangster, where can a weak woman go? It ’s not as good as a scholar who has no power to help me. Can she still think of three men as a woman? Thinking of this, he grabbed the reeds by the hand and the boat stopped. Seeing the boat stopped, the woman ran over in three and two steps, and Xing’er reached out and pulled her onto the boat.

Han Sheng asked, “Who are you? Why are you alone here?” The woman replied: “The little girl’s home was flooded, the village was flooded, and she fled with her family. During the day, she was rushed away by the rush to get on the boat, and the little girl was eager to find The separated family members did not get on the boat. When they saw the family in another boat in the distance, the boat on this side also drove away. Trapped here, fortunately they met the son to rescue, the little girl was grateful! ” The woman’s narrative is not very clear, but Han Sheng has already understood it. He ordered Xing’er to take out the dry food for her. Do not want the woman to look at the dry food, shyly refused to move. Han Sheng reacted this way. Two strange men stared at the opening of the girl’s girl’s mouth and quickly pulled Xing’er out of the shed.

For a while, he heard the sound of exclamation in the shed. Han Sheng and Xing’er hurried into the boat shed to see. The boatman did not know when he got into the shed and was approaching the woman with a sharp knife. Han Sheng hurriedly stopped, and the boatman said: “The son does not know, she is a ghost! Without killing her, we can’t live anymore!” Then facing the woman, he said viciously, “You can’t hide your son, but you can’t hide it. I! You water ghost! “Said the knife and continued to approach the woman. The woman gestured with her hands in front of her, retreated in horror, and explained, “I am not a water ghost, I am not a water ghost!” “

Han Sheng was at a loss, constantly shouting “No! No!” But he didn’t dare to step forward and hold the boatman, because in an instant, an unknown hunch flashed in his mind. This boatman is probably a gangster, and he doesn’t know the origin of this boatman. In case the boatman is a gangster who seeks money and lives, he will drive the boat to this secluded place. Starting with, he is all one-on-three. Only by starting with the woman first, can the two of us suspect the origin of the woman and not help each other. At this time, it is very likely that he will be fooled and be surprised by him and give himself a knife!

But things are burning, I can’t think too much, Han Sheng still rushed to pull the boatman. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the woman had retreated. The boatman’s sharp knife pierced the woman’s body directly. The woman screamed and fell into the water. The boatman also used too much force and staggered his body out of balance, heading towards the position where the woman was just now. The dug boatman also rolled into the water.

As soon as the boatman fell into the water, he drew his hands twice in the air and sank into the water. The discerning person could see at a glance that it was not a natural sink, but was pulled into the water. Han Sheng and Xing’er are both in shock, not sure what happened! At this time, the reeds on the shore blew a few times, the reeds were pulled apart, and three people appeared.

Han Sheng thought, broken! When the shore arrived, no matter whether the woman was a gangster, or the boatman was a gangster, she and Xing’er were the only victims! I saw three people on the shore, a tall hero, a sword, and a short body. The three men stepped on their legs, said nothing on the boat, and looked quietly at the water.

Han Sheng looked at the three sheep timidly and said, “The three are yes.” The dwarf among the three men made a “forbidden sound” gesture with their hands, and still looked at the water. Su Yu saw water splashing in the water, and then with a clatter, something was thrown into the water and landed on the boat. Han Sheng took a closer look, it was the woman. The woman was thrown into the boat, as if it did not matter, sitting on the boat gang.

After a while, with the sound of “wow”, another thing was thrown from the water onto the boat. Look closely, it was the boatman. There was still water in his mouth. The short man stepped forward to pick up the oars and rowed forward. The heroic young man stepped forward to put the feet of the boatman on his feet and headed down to control the water for a while. Then, his hands pressed a few times on the man’s chest, and the boatman woke up with a few coughs. But he saw that the Yingwu young man, sitting on the boat, kicked the boatman’s chest with his feet, and controlled the boatman above the boat gang.

At this moment, something suddenly rose in the water, aroused the three-foot-high splash, and immediately fell into a small gourd in the hands of the negative sword young man. Han Sheng looked suspiciously at what had happened and was at a loss. The man with the sword pointed at the woman with her finger and said, “Tell me.” The woman had not spoken, but was crying. It took a long time to wipe my tears.

It turned out that more than ten years ago, the woman voted to take this boatman’s boat, not far in front, and was hijacked by the boatman into the reed bushes on the shore and then raped and killed. More than ten years later, the body was buried in the mud. For more than ten years, the female ghost has refused to take the stand-in, just waiting for the condemned boatman. Cang Tian has eyes, and she was finally waited for today.

Han Sheng realized at this time that the woman was indeed a ghost and was killed by the boatman. No wonder the boatman didn’t dare to stop the boat at first, and then later recognized her as a female ghost. It was really good and evil that ended up being reported.

The negative sword young man took out the gourd again and said, “Let ’s stay with me for a few days! We have a good relationship with Chenghuang. After the case is concluded, I will find a way to send you to rebirth.” . The female ghost was sucked into the gourd.

The boat drove to a place in front, and there were many messengers holding torches on the shore. An officer was there to command and salvage in the mud. Needless to say, it was salvaging the woman’s body. The three jumped ashore and greeted Han Sheng and Xing’er ashore. At this time, a messenger reported that the corpse had been salvaged, except for the whole body of mud, which was not spoiled. The officials ordered the messengers to take them back to the county government office.

Everyone got on the horse, and the young man with the sword approached Han Sheng and said, “You will follow us back to Wucheng City, and then turn to Beijing. The road from Wucheng City to Beijing is not destroyed by the flood, and it is still clear. There are only more than two hundred miles of dry road in the capital. It ’s easy to walk and wo n’t delay you. ”

Han Sheng’s eyes widened, “How do you know I came to Beijing to take the exam?” The messenger next to him laughed: “Do you know who these three are !? This is our famous master in Wuzhen County, Wuwu. Sanjue! How can there be anything to hide him? You are under our control of the boat trip today! “The Negative Young Man smiled and said:” Which is so shameless! “Han Sheng suddenly realized at this time, long ago I heard that there are three masters at Wuwu, with high mana, and I can finally see them today! With that said, the short mage beckoned Han Sheng to put on his own horse, and the young Yingwu youngster probed his hand and put Xing’er on his horse.

Han Sheng was riding a horse with the short mage, and asked the mage, “Please also ask the mage to show me, this imperial examination, how is my future?” The dwarf asked Ming Bazi, reckoning in his mouth. Write: “This year Xinmaoke will come to Renchenke next year” and then said to Han Wei: “There are some things that cannot be revealed, I can only tell you the good things.”

Later, Han Wei really got the chance to win the township test, and then in the next year’s Renchen scientific examination, he went to the official bureau chief in Shanxi.

Say back to Wuwu outside the city. On this day, under a big tree outside the endless city, a body was parked, covered with a broken reed mat. Kneeling next to a woman in a filial dress, there was a piece of paper on the ground, which read “Selling a Funeral.”

To say that this “selling a funeral” was a miracle, and it soon spread throughout the streets. Everyone ran to watch. Some errants, light sticks, said a few words of disgust and made a decisive comment. Some people say that it may be a liar; others say, bury it, find a ditch and throw it away; others say that this is a big girl who wants to eat — with a blind eye. But few people stepped forward to ask for the price, because everyone knew that the asking price of such a handsome young wife would certainly not be low.

At this time, some people separated from the crowd and walked to the front. At first glance, it is rich man Jiang Laowei, who is a lecher. Relying on her brother-in-law as an official, there are quite a lot of money to buy and sell in Beijing. There is already an official room in the house, and there are seven concubines. At this moment, Jiang Lao crooked forward and asked, “Where are you? Why should you sell yourself?” The woman cried and said, “Her husband’s surname is Zhang, who is a hundred miles away from Baodi. He was forced to go out because of the flood in his hometown The husband has some strength and thought that he could eat a lot of food here, he did n’t want her husband to die because of a sudden illness, the little girl had no money, the husband and wife had a good relationship, and they could n’t bear to abandon the wilderness, so they sold their bodies and buried husband!”

Lao Jiang crooked and smiled, and asked, “How much do you plan to pay?” The woman cried and said, “You don’t want to count, just a thin-skinned coffin, and find a place to bury the dead husband. The little girl is willing to do slavery. Concubine! “Jiang Laowei immediately smiled and smiled, and immediately greeted the family, and arranged to buy a coffin to lift the body and hire a sedan to lift the wife! Some light sticks and two slippers stomped their thighs. I knew that this condition would have been left to him! Look at this missed opportunity, really don’t walk away!
