"They are hiding in the mountains." Xie Mancang said cautiously: "The police officer from Hongsong County came to Jiuhe County once and said that Huang Qi had committed a crime, but Huang Qi left in time and was not arrested. .”
I frowned, and I immediately knew that the Dou family must have tampered with this.
Xie Mancang whispered again: "Before he left, he asked me to wait for Mr. on the dock. He said that Mr. will definitely come back so that I can do some trivial things for him."
I nodded, but felt a little sad.
When Huang Qi fled, he did not forget to leave a hand for me.
I turned over and got off the horse. I patted the horse and said, "Take it to the paper shop and wait for me." Xie Mancang was stunned, and he said unnaturally: "Sir, I have been in Jiuhe County for many years. There are a lot of things I can do." I could see Xie Mancang's emotions.
He reached out and patted his shoulder, and said: "It's not that I don't need you. Help me take care of it. It's already a help. What I have to do now is life-threatening. Anyone who follows me rashly may die."
"I..." Xie Mancang's face turned red.
"I will leave immediately after handling the matters here and rush to the Red River. If it is missing, it will be delayed for at least half a month. You must ensure its safety." I added.
Xie Mancang pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.
After that, Xie Mancang led Da Ma away.
I bought a small boat on the pier, asked the boatman to wear his clothes, and changed in the boat shed. Then I punted the boat at the stern and headed upstream to Hongsong County.
I am not very fast at punting.
Compared to Yang Qingshan's horse riding, I'm afraid he can't even keep up with one-tenth of his speed.
By the time I punted the boat and approached the watershed of Hongsong County, it was already dusk.
Estimating the time, Yang Qingshan should have reached further upstream.
At this time, the water flow of the Xuan River has not changed yet, so he must be still looking for energy to enter the river.
Over the years, apart from traveling with Jiang Pan and Liao Cheng, until now, only Yang Qingshan has been able to cooperate with me.
Because of Jiang Pan's character, he had too many concerns about his actions, but Yang Qingshan was decisive enough, and with good skills and good Feng Shui skills, he was simply the best person to go with him.
While I was thinking, I continued to push the boat forward.
After a while, I saw several boats on the water.
This is already outside the Hongsong County watershed. On the bank of the Xuanhe River is the village where the Li family is located.
Even looking to the shore in the distance, I can still see my mother's wooden house.
"That boat over there! Stop!"
From the direction of those boats, there was a low voice.
I immediately stopped what I was doing and did not continue to push the boat forward.
Soon, a boat came towards me.
After a while, the boat blocked the front of my small boat.
There were three people on the boat. The first one was wearing brocade material. He glanced at me up and down, with disgust in his eyes.
"Didn't I pay you poor people at the downstream dock? This section of the river is not suitable for boats or people, and you come here to ask for money?"
"Get out of here, or we'll capsize your boat." After the man finished speaking, he whispered again: "The unscrupulous people in the backcountry are obsessed with money." From these few words, I could tell some tricks. .
They blocked the river, not directly, but went to Jiuhe County Pier to manage it?
My expression remained unchanged, but my thoughts deepened.
It had been at least twenty days since Huang Qi sent me the letter, plus the time I spent traveling.
They haven't found my mother for so long.
However, the Dou family never gave up, so they kept blocking the river.
"What are you doing? You don't want the boat anymore?" The man cursed a few more words.
At this time, another man from behind came forward. He held a money bag in his hand and threw it towards my boat. Then he frowned and said: "Take the money and leave. You are not very young. How can you learn to interact with those old people?" Like a scoundrel, he comes here every day to extort money."
I squinted my eyes slightly, bowed my head slightly, and picked up the money bag.
Then, I paddled a little and headed back in the direction of return.
I didn't push too far, and I stopped about forty or fifty meters away.
At almost this distance, the ship returned to its original position.
Obviously, my position did not affect them, and they did not bother to come and evict me.
I sat on the bow of the boat, threw the money bag at the bottom of the boat, and looked ahead with slightly squinted eyes.
The sky is getting darker and darker...
I took out the compass from the Tang suit under the boatman's clothes.
He looked down at the compass needle.
The twilight is getting darker and darker, and the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the compass, reflecting a faint copper glow.
The pointer now points to normal land.
The location where I park my boat now is outside the scope of the talisman.
Yang Qingshan has not posted the talisman yet, otherwise, the Ding Compass will definitely be able to sense the changes in anger.
Time passed bit by bit.
I noticed that there were more people on the shore in the distance.
It's just that the distance is too far and I can't see the appearance of those people clearly.
However, I reasoned that it was getting dark, so the Dou family should arrange the manpower to salvage my mother’s body.
Even though they failed repeatedly, they did not give up.
It gets darker and darker, and finally night replaces twilight.
Those people on the shore got on the boat, and when they reached the middle of the river, clusters of firelights swayed on the river.
I could see the water undulating too.
At this moment, the pointer of the compass moved and slowly moved to the needle of the God of Fortune and Protector!
I don't know when, a huge full moon was reflected on the river.
The night seems to have been driven away a lot...
I squinted my eyes slightly, my heart skipped a beat, and I murmured, "Mom, I've given you a little more life, so you don't have to hide from them all the time."
With the contract, my mother could only hide so that they could not find her.
The reason is simple, she is no match for these people arranged by the Dou family.
Originally, the talisman was in Xuanhe, but this place was designated as a ghost land.
Xuanhe itself has some yin energy, which is angry but not strong.
But after the Flowing God Water Dragon Talisman begins to take effect, everything will change.
There is a simple comparison, it is like a corpse in a cave.
As long as the power of the talisman has not dissipated, this section of the river is equivalent to an acupoint!
The vitality flows in the hole, and if my mother is in it, the body will be more powerful.
Also, the function of that talisman is not just this effect.
When this section of the watershed becomes an acupoint, the nearby life will also flow over.
I infer that the Li family mansion was converted into a tomb, and it was the Dou family who buried Dou Kaifeng in it.
And when all the life in the village is taken away by Xuanhe, that grave will become a grave of death.
The Dou family is about to shoot itself in the foot. Dou's business will continue to bring bad luck to their family.
I gently tapped the edge of the boat with my hand and looked at the river with slightly squinted eyes.
As the needle becomes stronger and stronger, the water in the hanging river has begun to rise one after another...
