"You're a big guy and you're quite stubborn!"

"..."

The Taoist shook his head and stopped talking.

The boat went straight down the river, the water waves swayed softly, and there was a gentle breeze on the river, which passed through the cabin and blew on the Taoist's cheeks, making people feel comfortable. Apart from being comfortable, I didn't think about anything. I felt like "I'm used to the world now.

The feeling that my heart is at ease everywhere.”

Just lie down and take a nap first.

When I woke up again, it was dusk.

I don't know when the boat stopped.

Whether the sky is dark or dusk, the mountains turn into deep black shadows. The dreamlike light in the sky and the silhouettes of the mountains are reflected in the water, and the river is also dyed with color. The small boat floats on the water, and the

From a distance, the lights on the boat were no bigger than a soybean, and they were reflected in the water and were wrinkled by the evening breeze.

The boatman huddled next to him and made a fire to cook. He was careful not to wake him up.

There was a small figure sitting on the bow of the boat, holding a small fishing rod in his hand.

When the fishing line enters the water, there are ripples in between the ups and downs.

The girl suddenly raised her pole.

"puff!"

There was a faint silver light in the darkness.

At the same time, she reached out and took it.

Just a small fish.

The girl looked calm and skillful. She took it off casually and threw it away casually.

"Puff puff..."

Fish were dancing in the cabin.

"You can cook porridge."

The girl turned around and said to the boatman. When she saw that the Taoist had woken up, she was stunned for a moment: "Are you already sleepy?"

The Taoist stood up with difficulty and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

My eyes were drowsy when I woke up, and the sky was gloomy at dusk. The river had not changed in I don’t know how many years, and the scenery on both sides of the river was similar to that of many years ago. Suddenly, I seemed to see a talkative and talkative scholar sitting there.

On the bow of the boat, when I wanted to reach out and touch the water in the river, the one who dropped the fish was not Sanhua Empress, but an old boatman.

It’s been a dream for many years.

…

Five days later.

On the blue spring water, the canopy boat listens to the wind, and the swallows follow the boat and fly across the water like water birds. They often pass the boat, fly in front, circle back, and fly behind the boat, as if they are playing.

The girl sat on the edge of the boat and scratched the side of the boat with her nails.

"The one we just passed is Anqing. After passing Anqing, ahead is Lingbo." The boatman almost stopped and walked without rowing the boat. He said to the Taoist, "We can get there this afternoon."

"Anqing!"

Sanhua Empress raised her head, looked at the Taoist, tilted her head up to the sky, and then tilted her head back again until she found the swallows flying behind the boat, and then she remained in this strange posture without moving:

“We’re at Yanzi’s hometown again!”

"Sanhua Empress, please don't twist your neck." Song You calmly held her head back and straightened it, so as not to arouse the boatman's suspicion.

"It is said that in ancient times, there was a big demon causing trouble. During the rainy season, it caused huge floods. The water covered thousands of miles and the waves were rough. They did not recede for several years. Many people in the county were drowned. It was a tragedy. Only some of them were lucky enough to escape here.

On the mountain, I saved my life. Later, in order to prevent the big demon from causing trouble again, a city was built on the mountain, which was called Lingbo."

The boatman, who also serves as a tour guide, said to Song You.

Song You smiled when he heard this——

I heard familiar words again.

"There is a temple along the official road ahead. Sir, you can see it later." The boatman said to him, "Didn't it be said before that there were water monsters causing trouble in this section of the river, but they were later eliminated by the gods? The local

People built a temple for that god, and it’s that temple.”

"Yeah……"

Song You stood by the river and walked forward in the breeze.

"Have you ever seen the boatman?"

"I've been there once. It's a stone statue. It's not much different from other gods. There's also a statue of a horse. Oh, it seems to have a dog. Don't look at us boaters who are on the river every day. In fact, on the shore

We have never been to many places in our lives, and the past few years have been uneasy. This temple has good incense, so I also came to pay my respects. I don’t know if it works, but after worshiping, until now, I have

I have never capsized a boat, and I don’t know if it was blessed by gods.”

"The boatman must be careful and blessed."

"Haha, we are almost at the temple! I don't dare to say that!" The boatman waved his hands repeatedly, fearing that the gods would hear and blame him, "Didn't I tell my husband before that there was a scholar named Fu in Anqing who wrote a book full of monsters and ghosts?

A storybook? He seemed to have written this matter into the book, and he seemed to have said that he had seen the immortal with his own eyes, which is probably true!"

"I see……"

Song You took a deep breath. He didn't know how far away he was, but he could still faintly smell the scent of incense coming from him.

It seemed like he came here specifically to find him.

"..."

The Taoist waved his hand and still dismissed it.

Not long after, I actually saw a temple.

The boat passed by along the river.

In a daze, the Taoist seemed to see a middle-aged man on the road by the bank. He was dressed as a scholar and was playing by the river with his friends. His face was vaguely familiar, and he wondered if he was an old friend.

The boat was really brisk.

"Ling Bo is here."

The boatman docked the boat and let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you boatman."
