Chapter 46 dead run

Everyone restrained their smiles, and Qin Shengsheng was the first one.The second one is Tang Sanniang herself. The sarcasm she showed just now seems to have quickly disappeared with a little panic, and there is also a trace of pain in the process. Perhaps Fan Xiaotian's words touched some hidden pain in her .This is the case in Jianghu. Every move you make is hard to tell whether you are hitting others or giving yourself to others. The concepts of up and down and high and low are actually not defined, it just depends on which angle you look at it from. Qi Junyuan didn't know whether what Fan Xiaotian did was intentional or unintentional. If it was intentional, then he is really a master at disguising himself and confusing others.If it is unintentional, then this person is even more unfathomable.Being able to subconsciously be neither shy nor impetuous, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, shows that his psychological endurance, conscious defense, and natural reaction have all reached the point of impeccability.

But doubts remain.Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Fan Xiaotian approached Tang Sanniang and found out that Tang Sanniang must have his purpose.What is the purpose of this?It is not only Qi Junyuan who has this question, but also Tang Sanniang, and... Boat and water transportation began in the Sui Dynasty, especially inland water transportation.After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the grain, salt, iron and other materials under the government's control were mainly transported by ship, which was mainly related to the excavation of canals and dredging of river channels in the Sui Dynasty.However, regardless of the Sui and Tang Dynasties or the Five Dynasties, due to the vast land and sparse population, few people maintaining the rivers and embankments, and lack of signage and lighting along the coast, boats generally do not sail at night.Especially during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, wars continued for years, the population decreased drastically, and the number of ferries and ports was very small. If you missed the docks near market towns and villages, and then entered a section of rapids, it was easy to be dangerous.Therefore, in the "Genglouzi" written by Wumingshi in the Southern Tang Dynasty, there is a phrase "The autumn water is high, and the boats are full. The sun is shining and the river is shallow." It means that the sun is still high, and when the river is like rouge, the boats have already docked. shore up.

The boatman Qi Junyuan and the others hired is very experienced, and they would rather set off early rather than late.Although he saw that the sun was still high, he guessed that there would be no water town or port in the long distance ahead, so he stopped at a wooden shelf protruding from the water for water collection and washing.After landing, I saw a village in the distance, so the boatman went to the village, looking for someone to buy some vegetables and meat, so that he could prepare dinner when he came back. After the boatman went ashore, Qi Junyuan still sat in his original position, but his mental state relaxed.Observing various details of others for a long time, and constantly analyzing and inferring in your mind, this is actually more tiring than rocking a boat.

Qin Shengsheng and the others went to the shore to stretch their muscles.At the same time, they used their respective technical expertise to search and identify the surrounding area to make sure that there was no danger around them.Then some sat and rested under the trees on the bank, and some washed their faces and hands on wooden shelves. The mute got into the cabin and fell asleep right away. He was really tired after standing on guard for most of the day. Also hiding in the cabin were the mad woman and the poor dog. At some point, the most unusual of these two groups got together and were very affectionate with each other.

After two bags of cigarettes, the boatman ran back in a panic, his face greener than the bundle of vegetables he was holding in his hand. At this moment, the crazy woman sat up suddenly and let the boat shake slightly.And Qiongtang also rushed to the bow of the boat, with a low "hoo hoo" sound in his throat.Although the voice was not high, it woke up the mute who had just fallen asleep, because the voice meant that Qiong Tang had discovered danger. "Dead! Corpses! There are many, come here, come this way!" The boatman was a little incoherent. Although Fan Xiaotian's face turned green due to the boatman's emotion, he still persisted in patting Wang Yanba's shoulder and pouting at a big tree next to him.

Wang Yanba understood, climbed up to the top of the tree, and looked into the distance: "It's nothing, probably the boatman has been boating on the river all year round, and he has never seen a corpse on land." The soul-inducing bell for expelling the corpses came, which proved that Wang Yanba's observation was correct. "Who said I haven't seen a corpse chased away? It's just that I haven't seen one chased like this! I haven't seen this kind of corpse chased away either!..." The boatman argued. Before the boatman's defense was over, Wang Yanba had already taken a few steps from the tree branch and jumped back to the ground: "Everyone, get on the boat! Use the water to avoid the evil! That's not right, it looks like old corpses exploded."

No one spoke, but everyone moved as fast as lightning.As soon as I got on the boat, and the boat was less than two steps away from the shore, a foul and foul smell floated in front of me.Everyone on the boat hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, and even after Qiongtang barked twice, they quickly fell down and put their front legs on their noses and mouths.Only Tang Sanniang was different from everyone else, she quickly took out a bottle from the wooden cabinet behind her, poured a sip into her mouth, and then sprayed luck, like rain and mist.After only two sprays, the stench and rotten smell was covered by a refreshing and elegant smell similar to young grass leaves.

What brought the stench and rot was indeed corpses, a large group of corpses.But most of these corpses have already begun to decompose, and some of them can even see the ghastly bones, leaving little flesh and blood.There are still some limbs that have been burned black even though their limbs are complete, and only a few are bodies that have died normally not long ago.But the strangeness is not limited to this point, this group of corpses are walking extremely fast, at least three times faster than the normal speed of driving corpses, no wonder Wang Yanba said that the old corpses exploded after seeing it.

"How could they run so fast?" "Most of these corpses seem to have been dug up along the road." "The charred corpses can still walk. Hey, why do these few look like Shangdeyuan's corpses?" Hearing the last sentence, Qi Junyuan immediately shifted his gaze, and this time he finally firmly grasped a fleeting and unreasonable phenomenon, that is, the mad woman in the cabin showed clear eyes, seeming to be puzzled and thinking. , but also revealed some concerns.This look reminded Qi Junyuan that when Tang Sanniang teased Fan Xiaotian just now, he also found something unreasonable when he glanced at everyone. At that time, he flashed by and failed to catch it accurately. Now he thinks it was also on the mad woman Ni Daohua.A smile flashed across Ni Daohua's face at that moment, it was a subconscious smile when her true temperament was out of control.The smile flashed by at that time, but Qi Junyuan couldn't catch it accurately, so he thought it was his own illusion.

"The crazy woman has a problem! If she has a problem, then Fan Xiaotian may have a problem too. Because Fan Xiaotian went to Shangdeyuan to find Ni Daya. It is impossible to judge whether it is true or not. When he was in Shangdeyuan, he insisted on protecting the madwoman and Fan Xiaotian is also the one who wants to take her away." Qi Junyuan thought to himself. But before all the corpses passed by, Qi Junyuan's excitement when he discovered the key point was denied by himself again.The crazy woman may have been pretending to be crazy in order to save her life, or it may be that her brain was severely stimulated by the tragedy of the massacre, resulting in a temporary thinking disorder, and now she is recovering bit by bit.But no matter what the situation is, the doubts about her can't be related to a few things that he can't guess.Because she is not the Ni Daya that Fan Xiaotian, Pei Sheng and Tang Sanniang are looking for, her biggest role now is to help confirm who is the real Ni Daya.As the only surviving family member in the Shangdeyuan fire scene, the expression she showed towards the corpse was normal no matter what.

Ni Daohua also seemed to notice that someone was paying attention to her, so her eyes became dull again, and in order to cover up her gaffe just now, she hugged Poor Tang and gently stroked his smooth fur back. Qi Junyuan glanced at Qiongtang's back. After being stroked, the fur was not smooth, but there were many lines and warped hairs.There is only one possibility for this phenomenon, that is, Daohua's palm is not smooth.Not only is it not smooth, but there are also cocoons with unique and regular positions and thicknesses.The appearance of such calluses on the hands is often caused by long-term training of certain exercises or engaging in certain skills. Qi Junyuan strode over to Ni Daohua's side, squatted down and grabbed Ni Daohua's wrist, and raised his palm. Ni Daohua opened her mouth wide and looked at Qi Junyuan with a pair of startled eyes, but she didn't make a sound.This is the behavior of a normal person. If she is really a lunatic, she will not be shocked at first, but will cry and scream. Qi Junyuan grabbed Ni Daohua, and that poor Tang jumped up immediately, baring his teeth at Qi Junyuan and panting heavily.And behind Qi Junyuan, the mute also immediately turned sideways, and raised the small fast crossbow that had been wound up at his waist. "You are a master!" Qi Junyuan didn't care about Qiongtang and Dumb who were staring at him. "Ah! It hurts, I'm going to die! Catch me to death!" Ni Daohua may not realize how a lunatic should behave until now. Qi Junyuan let go of his hand and stood up: "I won't discuss with you the issue of real madness or fake madness. I just want to ask you what happened just now. The group of corpses must be related to Shangdeyuan. If your answer makes you I am satisfied, so we will immediately go ashore and turn to follow the corpses, this should be the most satisfying thing for you. If I am not satisfied, then continue to go to Huhuli tomorrow." Qi Junyuan knew that if he wanted this crazy woman to cooperate, the threat was useless.Because in that feudal era, in order to save her life or other purposes, a woman could be naked in front of a strange man and abandon her innocent reputation, which was more precious than her life, so any threats that could not hurt her life would be ineffective against her.So the only thing I can do is to guide and seduce from the perspective that Ni Daohua cares about. "Haha! The corpse is crazy! The corpse is crazy! They are looking for ghost soldiers, they are going to take revenge! I am going too, Daohua is going to find her father—" Ni Daohua let go of her voice, and the last sentence dragged on. Long and sharp. The group of corpses that had gone far away suddenly became a little chaotic, as if they were frightened by Ni Daohua's voice, and seemed to be looking for the voice everywhere.But this little chaos quickly recovered, and the group of corpses continued to run forward at the original rhythm and speed. "I remember, it's blood needles driving mad corpses!" Pei Sheng exclaimed suddenly.
