The green water slowly meets the clouds and smoke, and the green mountains are endless.
Perhaps the dragon energy in the water veins of the river is sufficient to suppress the injuries. Since boarding the boat, the cough has been significantly reduced, and I have not encountered any high-level monks or evil ways on the boat. There are many water monsters in the river, and they have the home field advantage and are particularly difficult to catch and kill. Bai Yu Jun relied on occasionally releasing a little bit of the beast's breath to scare away the water monsters.
There are songs and fishing boats on the river, and there are endless mountains. During the day, we are traveling on the shore and at night, we are looking for a place to eat and sleep. I don't feel tired.
After more than half a month of boating, the Southern Wilderness is still out of reach, and we don’t know when we will arrive.
It rains a lot in the south, and the misty rain makes people sad.
Tonight, I found a quiet bamboo forest on the bank to rest. Iron Ball dug out many bamboo shoots and caught a pheasant. The soup tasted delicious. By the way, I swished my claws on the rock wall by the river and dug out a stone cave. There was a stone bed and a stone stove. Everything is available.
Across the river is the Danxia stone wall as far as the eye can see, and waterbirds flutter their wings and return to their nests with crisp cries.
While cooking, a silly and cute bamboo rat spirit lay down at the entrance of the hole and took a look. When it saw Bai Yujun, it screamed and got into the bamboo forest. As it ran, its fat butt swayed and its fat swayed.
Boil the water in the casserole, put in the washed pheasant, bamboo shoots and herbs, and throw in a piece of salt.
Tie Qiu didn't like the food and ran out to find something to eat. He brought back two pieces of honeycomb and dug out the bee pupae to eat. While eating, he murmured that the queen ant was the most delicious and had an extraordinary taste.
The green mountains are dark, the river is covered with moonlight, and bonfires are brightly lit in the bamboo forests and caves on the cliffs on the shore.
The wooden boats moored on the shore hit the cliffs with the waves. Occasionally, large boats with lanterns on the river passed by, leaving behind a string of dirty jokes by the men's boatmen.
Suddenly, someone on the cargo ship on the river screamed, "The water monster is attacking the ship!"
Tie Qiu turned his head and looked outside the cave to take a look at the situation.
"Boss, there is a big catfish on board. It has a good appetite."
"Go to bed early after eating. We have to travel tomorrow."
The sound of chirping sounded again in the cave. The bee pupae were reluctant to eat them all in one bite, so they had to eat them one by one, savoring them carefully. They sat slumped at the door and closed their eyes to enjoy, feeling the mouth-filling fragrance of the juice from the crushed bee pupae.
Bai Yujun ate bamboo shoots, chicken, and drank soup without looking at the big boat on the river that was being harmed by the catfish monster. People eat fish, and fish eat people. It's such a harmonious and perfect scene.
The last flame was extinguished, and the coals flickered in and out of darkness.
Tie Qiu lay on the ground and snored while sleeping. Bai Yujun spread out the blanket and took out the pillow, lying on his side, coughing occasionally, covering himself with the quilt, stroking his messy hair, and gradually fell asleep...
The screams and roars on the river gradually subsided...
early morning.
When the morning mist first emerged, Bai Yujun stood on the top of the cliff, puffing out the mist and absorbing the spiritual energy.
When the sun rises, we go down the mountain, pack up, board the boat and continue on our way. It rained a little last night, and some rainwater accumulated in the wooden boat and needs to be scooped out. The iron ball hums a messy song to scoop out the water, and the gourd and gourd scrapes the bottom planks of the boat. Noise, this old wooden boat will probably sink to the bottom of the river when it reaches the southern wasteland boundary.
After the water was cleared, Bai Yujun uploaded the video and continued to stand on the bow of the boat in a daze while the iron ball was used to push the boat away from the shore.
"Help!"
Not far after the wooden boat rowed out, I saw a woman sitting on a rock out of the water in the middle of the river with a child in her arms. Her face was haggard and her whole body was shaking, she was holding the baby tightly in her arms and waving to the boat desperately.
Bai Yujun remained motionless and didn't even look at the woman on the rock. Tie Qiu only focused on rowing.
"Help... please help..."
The big ship sank in the water not far away and only the mast was exposed. There was a big catfish swimming back and forth playfully near the reef. Maybe it was full and waiting to be digested before continuing to eat.
The boat was rocking, and the young girl on the bow looked cold...
"Help... Wuwu... Please help me and the child... Help Wuwu..."
The woman held the crying baby in her arms and begged.
The waves hit the rocks and water kept splashing on the woman. She tried hard to protect the child from getting wet, but she was already exhausted after a frightening night. It was her motherly nature that kept her going until now. She hoped that a ship would pass by and rescue the couple. She didn’t know if Because the news of the water monster's appearance spread too quickly, no one dared to sail.
"Please save me and the child..."
The girl on the bow of the boat didn't even look at the woman on the reef, and the boat rowed leisurely not far from the reef.
The woman was desperate, holding the baby tightly and sobbing. Perhaps because the passing ships refused to rescue her, she felt desperate and lost. She huddled on the rocks and shivered with the baby in her arms.
On the bow of the ship, the breeze blew over my face, and my hair covered my eyes. I closed my cold red phoenix eyes and sighed.
Humans and monsters have different paths. Bai Yujun no longer wants to deal with the nonsense of human beings. He walks far away, out of sight and out of mind. It doesn't matter if he is not of my race and his heart is different, as long as he can live a good life.
He is a carnivorous beast, not a human being.
But sometimes the kindness in your heart can drive away the bestiality.
Or maybe that woman reminds Bai Jiao of the mother in the distant world. She can always make the most delicious meals in the world, and she will also become nagging when the climate changes...
The woman is very kind. She did not save her just now and did not feel any hatred or curse because of it. She is a good person.
"Ahem~ Iron Ball, go back."
"Okay~"
The catfish spirit wandering by the reef was frightened by the inexplicable smell and dived into the bottom of the water. Fortunately, the smell didn't steal its food when it went far away. It happily surfaced and prepared to eat the food. After just being startled, it felt like it was almost digested. It’s time to eat the last of the food.
On the rocks in the center of the river, the woman was weak, hugging the child tightly and curling up motionless, perhaps resigned to her fate. With tears in her eyes, she faced the baby face to face and tried to remember what the child looked like. The tears fell on the baby's pink face, and the tears were warm...
The catfish spirit climbed up the reef and opened its mouth!
"Baby, mother and you will never be separated..."
Darkness came, and the woman hugged the child tightly and refused to let go. She closed her eyes and waited for death.
The woman who closed her eyes heard a strange scream, and then a cold hand patted her shoulder.
"Hurry up and get on the boat, we're in a hurry."
The woman holding the child was stunned for a moment, then sobbed again. In just a short while, she experienced great sorrow and great joy, and was somewhat incoherent. She tried hard to stand up and wanted to board the rickety wooden boat. She never thought of persisting on the rocks for a night. She was frightened and exhausted, which made her weak and weak. I couldn't board the wooden boat every time.
"I'm fine...take my child on board first..."
"Ahem~ It's really useless."
Bai Yujun grabbed the two women and lifted them onto the boat, stuffed them into the awning and handed over a blanket. I don't know how they survived for so many years and were so weak that they couldn't even get on the boat.
"Thank you... thank you girl for saving your life... thank you..."
It doesn't matter if the iron ball rowing yawns.
Bai Yujun, who was standing at the bow of the boat, looked at the women and children who had caught a cold after freezing all night. He took out two healing fruits and two chicken legs and threw them over, without looking back at the river ahead.
"Eat one and a half of the fruit and give half to the child. It can cure cold and fever."
"Thank you...woo woo..."
The woman cried while eating, and occasionally glanced at the young girl who was coughing from time to time on the isolated bow. Words could not express her gratitude. She automatically thought in her heart that she passed by in the first place and was not saved for some reason. They were all good people.
What if someone told her that she and the child were the only people on the ship. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The New White Snake Asks the Immortal", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find close friends~
