Chapter 13 Chapter 12: Encountering the Overturning Yangtze River Monster

On the second day, I, the third fat man, the lame Wang, and another mysterious strange man he found from nowhere were dragged by the village people to the village three miles away from the ancient ferry with the only donkey cart. A port of call. The helper that the old cripple mentioned was a dark-skinned young man, holding a sharpened black iron chisel in his hand and carrying a bamboo basket on his back.His face was covered with a black cloth belt, which covered his eyes, revealing only his pointed chin and high bridge of nose. To be honest, along the way, the third fat man and I talked a lot about this kid in private.This person looks like an ice bump, with a deadpan expression all the way, not even farting.When others talk to him, this guy also likes to ignore it.At first I wanted to get close to him, but after seeing his virtue, I didn't bother to stick my hot face on my cold ass. I really don't understand where the lame man got such a dead face.

The only thing worth mentioning is that although most of this kid's face is covered by a black cloth belt, he should be blind according to reason, but he does not lag behind us at all. He seems to have a certain ability to accurately predict our next path and the obstacles, potholes, etc. in front of us. I don’t know how he does it. When the donkey cart left, we couldn't help shrinking our necks.Don't blame us for regretting it, this place is too desolate, there are only weeds and bushes around, and there is only a big mound of soil as a temporary port of anchorage. However, at this time, there is no way to pay attention to it. Once a few people add up, they can only wait for the boat to come.

Standing on the big soil pile near the river, you can hear the sound of rushing water in front of you.The rolling Yangtze River does not stop for a moment, rolling up the river mud at the bottom of the water, rolling out waves of turbid water.There was a flood in this place a few years ago, and the river dam was submerged several meters, and some big trees are still soaked in the river. Now that it is late autumn, the temperature in western Hubei varies greatly from day to night.The sky was gray, and although we were dressed thickly, standing by the river and being blown by the cold wind, we couldn't help shivering.

Three Fatty took out a small bottle of white wine from nowhere, and let us take a sip to get rid of the cold.Old Lame Wang couldn't help but took a few sips, but when he handed it to the dead man, he rejected it with a cold sentence.The three fat men curled their lips at me, and then took out the dry food that Xiao Mei Niang had prepared for us, and the few of them ate some. This time, Three Fatty didn't give way to that cold-faced boy.This dead face didn't seem to care, just kept looking at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking. I also drank two sips of white wine, the chill subsided a little, and my body felt warm.Just looking at the turbid river rushing in front of him, he still couldn't help frowning.

This port is the place where some idle fishing boats berth at the ancient ferry, and there are often ships coming and going.It's just that in this weather, I haven't even seen a ghost, let alone a boat. I don't know how long I will have to wait. The third fat man's face was pale from the cold, he stomped his feet vigorously, put his arms around my neck and said, "Hey, I said Er Ba Ye. We don't know what will happen when we go here. When we get into the rolling Longbazi, don't forget to give me a hand, we brothers are united and work together to break the gold, and when we get the legendary dragon clothes and snake skin, we will make a fortune."

Seeing that the fat man was getting more and more outrageous, I shook off his arm on my shoulder and cursed: "You know how to make a lot of money, our first goal is to save Xiaomei and Shuanzi first. As for the remaining snake sloughs of Laoshan Gulong, you can do as much as you want." The third fat man was not angry, and said: "Hey, you, don't be angry. Of course, fat man, I know that it is important to save the lives of Shuanzi and Xiaomei first. But it is also very important to make a fortune. Didn't Ma and Marx say that Well, we want to take the socialist line, grasp it with both hands, and be tough with both hands."

I took a sip and said: "You didn't drink too much, did you? When did Marx say that? Don't give me so many bad words. I think you have to jump into the Yangtze River to take a big bath first, sober up. So as not to give us some trouble when the time comes." Old Lame Wang hurriedly acted as a peacemaker: "Don't make any noise. This place is fairly clean now, and the boat will come after a meeting, so you don't have to show jokes to others and delay serious business." Just at this moment, we only heard the sound of the dead man who didn't speak. We looked up and saw a small black spot suddenly appearing on the distant river, getting bigger and bigger, and a huge bamboo raft was going down the river. Come.

A few of us hurried to the dirt mound, shouting and shaking our arms, calling for the bamboo raft to stop. The people on the bamboo raft had obviously seen us, but they didn't stop. They just stood on the raft and kept waving their hands, indicating that they were not going to stop. We waited on the shore for so long, and finally found something that could cross the river. Although it was just a bamboo raft, it was just enough to make do with it. How could we let him go so easily. The three fat guys quickly took out a handful of bills, held up the money and danced vigorously at the people on the bamboo raft, while shouting that we should pay double the money.Sure enough, there is still money that can make ghosts turn the millstone. The man on the bamboo raft thought for a while, and finally leaned towards us with a bamboo pole supporting the bottom of the water.

The bamboo raft finally came ashore.The punter was a middle-aged man, black and thin, with a pipe in his mouth. He just kept looking at us indifferently, and didn't call us to get on the raft. The lame old man Wang stepped forward and made a strange gesture at the black and thin middle-aged man. After the two parties met, he said: "My fellow, we are going to the Gunlong Bazi in the valley. It's urgent, I don't know if my brother can make it easier. The price is negotiable, we can pay double." When we heard that we were going to Gunlongbazi, the black and thin man gave us a strange look and said nothing.

After a long time, he said in a muffled voice, "This raft of mine has never carried a living person." Old lame Wang seemed to have known his answer beforehand, he chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "I know, I know, I can see that you are working under the care of the King of Hades. We don't mind, as long as we can go to Longbazi." The black and thin man took a look at Old Lame Wang, then glanced at us a few more times, and finally nodded and motioned for us to get on the raft.It's just that his eyes looked cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The crippled old man Wang didn't care, he cupped his hands towards the black and thin man again, and then called me and the third fat man to follow up: "Hurry up, let's drive the raft."

I looked at the bamboo raft under my feet. It was six meters long and three meters wide, much larger than the rafts we had seen before.This kind of large raft is usually used to carry some heavy goods, commonly known as "raft". It is an ancient water transport tool that has been used since ancient times. When we got on the raft, we saw a huge, pitch-black water crow squatting at the feet of the black and thin man, looking straight at us. The so-called water crow, also known as osprey or yufu, is widely distributed in China.As early as the Xia Dynasty, people in western Hubei had domesticated cormorants for fishing, commonly known as cormorant fishery. There was nothing strange about this at first, but the water crow in front of us was frighteningly big, ugly and thin, but as big as half a child's body, squatting on the raft in black, with green eyes His round eyeballs shone with an inexplicable light, staring straight at us.He didn't make a sound, and looked very weird and a bit eerie. I feel a little strange, why is there such an old water crow squatting on this bamboo raft that is almost losing all its feathers. The third fat man also found it strange, stood aside in amazement, and clapped his hands: "Damn, what did this old crow eat, why did it grow so big? Call it loud, and see if it can't get over it." That frighteningly big Shui Lao Crow really did not avoid life, with a weird sound coming from its throat, it swayed over and squatted beside the three fat guys.The kid grabbed Shui Laoya's feathers and rubbed them wildly. Before he rubbed it a few times, the fat man stood up and exclaimed: "Damn, what kind of pickled stuff is this? Why does it taste so embarrassing?" He took out a black strip of cloth from the feathers under the belly of the water crow, with dried black blood on it, he was taken aback, and called out: "Couldn't this be a riding cloth?" When I heard it, I leaned over to smell it, and couldn't help but frown.Not to mention, this is really a menstrual belt that women use during menstruation, and there is still some weird smell left on it. That feeling was very disgusting, I glanced at the third fat man, and the boy threw away the riding cloth in his hand in a hurry, spitting in disgust.While throwing up, he scolded: "Damn it, what's going on?" I looked at the three fat guys who were so disgusted that they spit and washed their hands, and felt strange in my heart, what the hell is going on?Could it be that this old water crow has become a spirit? At this moment, I saw from the corner of my eye that the black blind man who hadn't spoken much since getting on the bamboo raft suddenly sneered twice at the old water crow on the raft. Although his voice was soft, I could still hear him clearly. When I looked at him, my heart skipped a beat. I didn't know what this dead face could see. The crippled old man Wang who stood in front of the raft saw it clearly, and suddenly burst out laughing: "After a long time, you two boys still don't know where this is." "What? What's wrong with the dead bird and the raft?" I was also so disgusted that I spit into the river water several times: "Damn it, how could you put such a thing under the bird's butt? Could it be that the old water crow is still a female, and she will come every once in a while." Menstruation not working?" "Of course there is a reason." The lame Wang said: "This raft is a corpse raft, which often carries water corpses from the old Yangtze River. This water crow has been hanging around among the dead people since he was a child. Of course, it is not very clean. Maybe this thing was once eat……" "His grandma's is too disgusting!" I almost vomited again when I heard it, but I felt the hairs all over my body standing on end, and a chill rose from my back.As soon as these words came out, even the third fat man was so frightened that he almost woke up from the wine, his face changed immediately, and he hurriedly stayed away from the terrifyingly big water crow like a god of plague. Now I finally understood, no wonder the raft was unwilling to pull us in the first place, saying that it never carried live people, but I dare say that this black and thin man is the Hades hook for the old Changjiang Estuary to fish for corpses.I'm afraid that Old Lame Wang and that dead face who has been silent have known about this for a long time, only me and the third fat man are still kept in the dark. The third fat man was so disgusted that he couldn't help spitting at the old water crow, and said, "If you pick up the corpse, you can just pick up the corpse. Why is there an old water crow on the raft? Is this a fucking thing?" In addition to catching fish, you can also go into the water to find corpses?" "I don't know if this beast is so miraculous, but the craftsman who was engaged in collecting corpses in the old Yangtze River has indeed raised such a water old crow in his family since he was a child, and it is called 'Yangzu'. There is a lot of mud and sand in it, and it is relatively turbid. If you want to salvage the sunken corpse, you must first determine the location where the corpse sank. The water crow born on the edge of the old Yangtze River has this ability, and can probe to the bottom of the river for more than ten meters. In the deep place, the smell of the corpse can be detected..." Lame Wang spread his hands: "On the banks of the old Yangtze River, there are many stories about this kind of water crow. It is said that the owl in the old Yangtze River ate the Yin Dan in the water corpse after the river's bottom changed. The ghost birds born after mating of cormorants on the shore, so they can trace the source and find the dead bodies buried deep in the bottom of the river. However, I heard that in some places in Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi, dead human flesh was used to kill fish puppies since childhood. Feed it big, and over time, the corpse gas will accumulate in the body, and when this ghost bird grows up, it will be almost like the breath of a dead person, and even the water ghost will not be afraid of it." "However, this kind of nurturing zu relies on some sinister methods to become refined. Corpse energy accumulates in the body, so the most feared thing is cloudy rain and lightning strikes. However, Yan Wang Gouzi on the old Yangtze River found a way. I picked up some menstruation cloths used by women to protect against lightning, which is also commonly known as "dirty robbery". You must know that women's menstruation riding cloths are very filthy things, which can pollute righteousness most and are generally spiritual Nothing can be touched." Speaking of this, Old Lame Wang suddenly laughed, and said to the black and thin man beside him, "Brother, you have a very spiritual mind, I don't know how you tamed it?" The dark and thin man who had been supporting the raft suddenly changed his face, but soon returned to normal, but his eyes were still a little fierce, and he shook his head: "I don't know, this old bird is still left by the older generation, and has never been seen. Figure out what species it is, it’s the daily Shui Laoya.” Just as he was speaking, he kicked the yufu and cursed, “This pickled thing knows how to cause trouble.” The Shui Laoya was kicked to the ground. With a scream and a cooing sound in his throat, he squatted on the raft and dared not move again. At this moment, I saw the lame old man Wang across the street wink at me and the third fat man, and everyone nodded tacitly, only the young man with a black cloth in front of his eyes remained indifferent.But I already had some vigilance in my heart, and I knew what Lao Wang and the three fat men meant: "This raft and that water crow are probably not very clean, and there must be something wrong with the black and thin man who supports the raft." The river in the old Yangtze River has nine twists and turns, and one waterway has eighteen bends. Although the bamboo raft underneath seems simple, it has an irreplaceable advantage in this kind of waterway. It is light and fast, even if it carries several men like us. , and it was fairly smooth along the way.So, at noon, the bamboo raft turned into a relatively wide and stable bay, and we were not far from the waters where the destination, Gunlong Bazi, was located. Along the way, I was observing the black and thin man who supported the raft. His appearance was nothing unusual, his skin was dark and he was very ordinary.It's just that I don't know if it's due to psychological effects or other reasons, but I always feel that this person has a strange smell.In addition, when I heard the matter of feeding the Shui Laoya to eat dead human flesh from Wang Laozi, I suddenly felt a thump in my heart, and finally remembered that the strange smell on this man seemed to be exactly the same as that on the Shui Laoya. "When we pass through this section of the river later, everyone had better not talk, so as not to disturb the things in the water." The black and thin man suddenly turned around and said, "I don't know how many boats have capsized here these years." Does this river often have troubles, Old Lame Wang asked. "Well, the current on this river is very fast, and there are large whirlpools under the water, and accidents often occur. Especially in this section of water, I heard that there are some unclean things, and many people have died. It's very evil." "Can you drive slower then?" The man shook his head: "It's more dangerous to drive slowly. The boats parked in this waterway for a long time are often overturned for no reason, and the people and the boat sank to the bottom of the river. And we are going downstream at a speed of It won't slow down. Fortunately, it only takes about a quarter of an hour, and we can pass it. It's just that some of the turns are quite dangerous." "Then we can only be careful." Wang lame spread his hands helplessly, "Going out and crossing the river by boat, this is what I am most afraid of encountering. I can't let it go, right?" "It's okay," said the thin black man, "as long as you don't speak loudly, you'll be fine." I was taken aback by their conversation, and was about to speak when someone next to me gave me a gentle tug. When I turned around, I found that there was no one around.When I lowered my head again, I saw a few words written in water on the surface of the bamboo raft: "It's weird." When I saw these three words, I was stunned. It was weird. What do you mean?Who wrote these three words?Who was the one who pulled me just now? I glanced at the people on the bamboo raft, and found that on the whole raft, the black and thin man was punting, the crippled old man Wang was sitting at the front, and the three fat men were dozing off with squinted eyes, and I directly ruled them out.There is only one suspect in the end. Could it be that dead face who has been silent all this time? It's just, what did he write these three words to remind me? I took a deep look at him again, and found that his face was still covered with a black cloth, covering his eyes, staring straight at the river, as if he did not do everything just now. What exactly does that mean?I frowned. There are weirdness, does it mean that there are weirdness under the water, or that there are weirdness in the people on this boat? At this time, the sun at noon is still sufficient, and the three big characters written with water on the raft have almost dried up. If I hadn't seen those writings with my own eyes just now, everything would have been as if nothing had happened. For some reason, a deep sense of fear suddenly surged in my heart.It seems that unimaginable things will happen in this trip to Gunlongba. The river flowed very fast, and I was still thinking about the meaning of those three words just now. The bamboo raft here has traveled a long way.When we reached the very center of this section of the river, the whole bamboo raft suddenly jumped up and fell down again suddenly, as if it was pushed by something huge.The third fat man was dozing off on the raft, and this sudden arrival almost threw him over two hundred catties into the water. The sun is still shining in the sky, and it stands to reason that the weather has not changed at all.But the entire river suddenly seemed to be manipulated by some mysterious force, the wind was surging, and the water vapor was rolling.The huge waves that were set off were more than two meters high, and the cold river water poured down like heavy rain, which made us all become drowned immediately. Everyone on the bamboo raft stood up, and the black and thin man hurriedly supported the raft with bamboo poles, and at the same time poked his head out, wanting to see if the bamboo raft had hit something. This river is very open, the water level is very deep, and it flows downstream. Logically speaking, with the draft of the bamboo raft, it is impossible to hit any sediments such as reefs. Moreover, the weather was calm all the time, but the bamboo raft was almost lifted up, which was really weird and strange. When everyone was secretly frightened, the black and thin man who punted the boat hurriedly fixed the raft with a bamboo pole, and just turned his head and looked towards the river.The whole raft shook violently again. Fortunately, the buoyancy of the bamboo raft was strong enough, and several people clung desperately to the bamboo rafts of the raft, so they did not fall. It's just that the huge bamboo raft kept shaking, as if there was a huge monster shaking at the bottom of the water, and ladles of river water poured in, shaking us all to pieces. When the three fat men were waiting for the boat on the shore, they drank a lot of wine, and they were dizzy before, but now they have woken up from the fright.While spitting out the yellow mud soup that poured into his mouth, he fished it tightly on the row of the bamboo raft, yelling: "Damn it, find a way quickly. If it's later, we will all fall to the bottom of the bamboo raft." Feed bastards in the water." I tried my best to stand still, and wanted to go over to see the situation, but the raft shook more and more, and the water crow, half the height of a child, was also trembling all over, cooing non-stop towards the turbid river. Ask what happened to the thin dark man holding the raft. His face has turned pale, full of panic: "No, is there something in this water?" Although Mr. Wang lameed one leg, his body was still flexible, and he barely stood firm. His whole body had already been drowned by the yellow muddy water in the river. He could only hear him scolding at the top of his throat, "Be careful, everyone! Stand still, don't fall into the water. We're probably meeting the Dragon King of the River this time..." Three Fatty and I have already been knocked out, so we don't have time to talk to him, just keep going Hold the edge of the bamboo raft on the raft carefully, so as not to accidentally fall down and feed the big fish or bastards in the river. At this time, although the bamboo raft was going down the current, and the water was turbulent, it couldn't move at all on the wide and unobstructed river.It seems that there is a huge thing in the water, which completely blocks the way of the bamboo raft. Waves of force came from the bottom of the water, and the bamboo raft groaned in pain, as if the boat might capsize at any time.I knew in my heart that going on like this was not an option, and I had to see what was causing trouble in the river.At this moment, my blood was surging, and I didn't feel how terrible it was anymore. I struggled to take a step, grabbed the rows on both sides, and staggered towards the edge. At this time, the bottom of the bamboo raft was pushed up again, and it was lifted more than half a meter high. The whole raft was hit horizontally, and I was almost thrown out.I desperately grabbed all the objects I could grasp, and I immediately became afraid after knowing it in my heart.Looking back, I happened to see that the third fat man was also thrown out. He was so big that he fell to the edge of the bamboo raft, which made my heart almost drop out of my throat. Fortunately, this is a bamboo raft, which has great buoyancy. If it were an ordinary boat, the whole boat would have to disintegrate after just two strokes. I crawled over, pulled the three fat guys onto the raft, and cursed at the same time, "Damn it, can you see what's in the river? What is it?" The three fat guys climbed up while panting heavily, cursing and saying, "Damn it, who knows what that is. It's a big piece of black and blue, maybe as big as a locomotive, it looks like a fish. " "Never mind what that thing is in the river, let this thing hit it twice, we'll all fall into the water to feed the fish and shrimps, get ready, big guy, and see if we can drive it away." Old lame Wang was beside him. Call out loudly. The black and skinny man holding the raft insisted that the thing in the river was King Jiang, and that he couldn't beat it, so he just had to close his eyes and wait for death. I can't take care of so much anymore, ignorant people are fearless, and I don't have much awe for these things. Now it's about my own life, so I have to work hard, so I said to the three fat guys: "Damn, anyway It's a death, and I can't make this thing easy. You go and get me the machete, and I'm going to be this beast." The third fat man shouted: "What is his grandma doing crazy? Now this raft can't even stand upright, don't talk about cutting it, I'm afraid it will be thrown into the river to feed the fish before you get close!" I was indeed a little dizzy right now, but I was not so confused, so I shouted to the three fat guys: "You don't know how to bring a rope and tie it to me. Whether I can live or not depends on you Can this fat man hold on tight to the rope?" The bamboo raft was still swaying on the river surface, and the river water poured on the face head-on, making people feel chilled.At this point, we had long since ignored these things. Taking advantage of the stability of the raft, the three fat men rushed over, grabbed a hemp rope thick as a thumb, and tied it around my waist twice.My heart was ruthless, and I put life and death aside, grabbed the machete handed over by the three fat guys, and jumped to the edge of the raft in two steps, poking my head and waiting for the thing to float up again. At this time, the sky was a bit gloomy, but it was still clear, but the river water was turbid, like boiling water that had been turned over, and the black river mud like ink was constantly rolling upwards. Borrowing the light, I poked my head and vaguely saw a long thing in the river water thirty feet away.It was the size of a truck head, most of it was submerged in the river, and part of it was exposed like a "fin". It was black and blue, and its body was shining. I don't know if it was a scale or something, and it was swimming fast. come over. That thing looked like a small mountain in the river, but its speed was extremely fast, and it was in front of me again in the blink of an eye.My heart was almost in my throat, and my right hand was tightly holding the handle of the machete, and my knuckles were starting to turn white.The other hand was clinging firmly to one end of the raft, watching the thing approaching, I gritted my teeth, swung the machete relentlessly, and slashed out. With a "click", I only felt a shock in my right wrist, as if a huge force bounced along the tip of the knife, and I didn't know if I hit it or not.But the bamboo raft shook again, my center of gravity was unstable, and I was thrown directly out, but I was still holding the machete tightly in my hand.In this way, even if he fell into the water, there would be a desperate guy anyway. Fortunately, the third fat man responded in a timely manner, and his own tonnage was heavy. Seeing that I was thrown out, he quickly pulled the rope and dragged me out of the water. I lay down on the bamboo raft and coughed heavily for the water, the strength I had just accumulated was gone. Old Lame Wang asked me if I was okay, so I took the opportunity to say to him: "Leave me alone now, and tell the raft to leave here before that thing appears for a while. If it's later, none of us can get out of this piece of land alive." waters." He also knew that the matter was urgent, so he struggled to run to the end of the raft, and told the thin black man to pole quickly and leave here while running. Who knows, just as the black and thin man stood up staggeringly, his face changed again, and he shouted: "It's broken, that King Jiang came out again." Everyone was startled, looked in the direction he pointed, and immediately saw the truth.Sure enough, I saw the waves of the river three or four feet away on the opposite side. A huge, hill-like, black-and-black behemoth was rolling in the river. The only exposed part was as big as the head of a truck. What is it. I saw a knife wound on the thing at a glance, bloody and bloody, and even the huge blue scales collapsed.I couldn't help sighing in my heart, it's really a retribution for the world, I just chopped it up with a knife, and this beast came to take revenge. At this time, I didn't have time to think about it. I was about to stand up when I heard a cold voice behind me: "Get out of the way." I subconsciously lowered my body, felt a strong wind blowing by me, and watched a black figure jump off the bamboo raft in disbelief! Before I went to Gudukou to go to the countryside, I would never believe that there were terrifying monsters the size of trucks in the Yangtze River.But when this monster with black and green scales appeared on its body, I don't know whether it was a fish or a dragon, my worldview was suddenly shattered. But I still find it hard to imagine that anyone can jump a distance of three feet from a bamboo raft without any external force, and still keep from falling into the river, especially if he doesn't even have any run-up.But right now, that dead face that has been silent has finally completely overturned my understanding of the potential of the human body.At this moment, there is only one thought in my mind, it turns out that when a person's potential is fully exploded, such a terrifying power can be produced! ... The entire bamboo raft was trampled by this huge force and fell directly into the river, and then floated up again immediately. But the dead face covered with a black cloth, like an open cannonball, drew a straight line on the surface of the river, and slammed into the huge monster in the river that was swimming towards us. Everything was dead silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.I know that this dead face does not have any light skills, but completely explodes with an unimaginable force, with the power of the bamboo raft jumping.At a distance of nearly three feet, he was like a black arrow, his speed was unbelievable.Just like a meteorite falling from the sky, under the pull of the earth's center of gravity, it ruthlessly smashed on the black-blue giant beast that had just emerged from the water. It was at this moment that his feet had already slammed heavily on the huge head of the behemoth. This kind of force combined with the acceleration of gravity was really terrifying. The entire river surface boomed like a thunderbolt. I seemed to hear the slight sound of bones breaking, and the black-blue monster the size of a truck was trampled down to the river by the force of Dead Face's foot.The huge tail part of the second half was also thrown away suddenly, sank into the river and disappeared. Water splashed everywhere, and the dead man's face was also thrown backwards by the huge recoil from the tail of the huge black-blue monster facing the sinking river. He jumped in mid-air, and fell back on the bamboo raft in some embarrassment. On the surface of the river, the turbid water was still churning, bringing up the black and smelly mud from the bottom of the river, and only the bamboo rafts that were shaken to pieces were still floating alone, looking very bleak. Everyone looked at the dead face differently, and the third fat man and I couldn't help but clicked our tongues.I finally understand why, with Mr. Wang's crippled personality, he would be so taboo towards this kid when he speaks. It's because his hand is really amazing, you can't help but admire him. I would really like to find a chance to ask Lame Wang, what is the origin of this kid, but it is not a place to talk now, so I have to discuss it with the three fat guys in private.The three fat men were amazed along the way, and made a 180-degree turn around the comments about Dead Face.He put his hand on his chin, curled his lips at me, motioned me to look at the dead man's hand showing half of his cuff, and said, "Look, look, Fatty, I just said that this kid is unusual. Look at that hand, It’s not something ordinary people can do.” Hearing what he said, I couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at the man's hand out of the corner of my eye.Looking at it, I found some differences. His hands are really too white, so white that they are even a little immature, and they don't match his own dark complexion. It's like putting a pair of women's hands on a man's body.Especially his fingers are very long, each one is like a green onion, but the joints are very thick.I immediately thought of the old man who sold old porcelain in Liulichang when I was a child said that in ancient times, the mountain walkers in the Xiang'e mountainous area were very skillful. Their hands have been honed in iron sand since they were young, and then soaked in the secret potion. Repeatedly, it will take more than ten years to achieve great success. The process is very painful.When they become adults, their hands are trained to be copper-skinned and iron-boned, and they can dig holes with two fingers. With just one finger, they can decipher the hidden weapons in many ancient tombs and large tombs.I don't know if this dead-faced hand was practiced like this since childhood. At this time, the bamboo raft was far away from the section of the river where the accident happened just now, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only the dead man's face was as indifferent as ever, without saying a word, and the black cloth strip tied around his eyes was rattled by the strong wind. When I saw this, I didn’t know how to describe the situation in front of me. If I used some words that came up later to express my feelings at that time, it would be only one sentence: “It’s really cool.”
