The middle reaches of the Lanjiang River.

The rain is already heavy.

The fishing boats along the river have stopped.

Only a few passenger ships are still advancing through the heavy rain.

Lanjiang River Heart.

A merchant ship.

Several men of different ages were wearing raincoats, hiding in shelters on the deck to avoid the rain.

Quiet rainy night.

There seemed to be countless sounds of rain in the whole world.

The waves of the river.

"Old man Li, what are you looking at there, come here."

A middle-aged man sitting on the outermost periphery shouted to the side of the deck.

On the far left side of the deck.

A thin old man, leaning on the railing, looked out of thin air.

Looking at the water of the Lanjiang River.

distance,

There seems to be a thick steaming fog rising.

The old man's body rickets, his brows squeezed.

A little uneasy.

Just stand quietly in that silence.

"Old Li, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that the old man did not respond, the man who had just spoken out.

Walk away from the frolicking crowd.

Come to the old man's side.

They are a cargo ship, running on the Lanjiang all the year round, unloading cargo.

This is known as Lao Li's old man, the oldest worker on this cargo ship.

It's a small owner, with some shares, named Li Jun.

However, he was born in poverty in his early years and was always kind.

Without any pretensions, it is best to mingle with these workers.

At this time, Li Jun noticed that the man came.

Turned around and smiled at him.

The wide raincoat covered his entire body, making him even thinner.

The man took out a pack of white sand smoke from his pocket that was already a bit damp.

Pass one to the old man.

Although there is rain today.

Fortunately, there is no wind.

"The rainy season is coming. I am afraid that the tide will rise in a few days."

The man stood shoulder to shoulder with the old man.

Take a deep breath of cigarette.

Spit out white mist.

The old man still did not speak.

Just silently looked into the distance.

"Dongzi, you have been on the ship for a few years."

"It's still two months away, it's the fifth year."

"Um."

The old man was silent for a while.

Suddenly asked again.

"Do you know any other taboos for running boats?"

The man was taken aback.

Obviously, he didn't expect the old man to ask that.

Taboo...

Such feudal superstitions.

Wasn't it already abandoned before the red moon?

He curled his lips.

But in the end he muttered:

"One, you are not allowed to turn around when eating fish, two, you are not allowed to say those taboo words, three, women without children, four, you must worship the **** of the river when you board the boat, five..."

"What is the meaning of five... Well, it's been a long time since no one mentioned it. You also know that we don't have any culture, so I can't remember."

"Fifth, it is most forbidden to sail in the rainy season."

The old man seemed to be muttering to himself.

"This rainy season is the day when the Jiang God turned over. Alas, in the past, we had to sacrifice to the Jiang God. Now, these young people still believe in Jiang God."

"Before I came out, I persuaded the young master to wait for him to run in the river after the rainy season."

"Ugh..."

The old man sighed again, and the result was obvious.

He is already standing here.

"Ha ha."

The man smiled softly.

Spit out the last puff of smoke.

The cigarette **** was thrown into the surging river.

Patted the old man on the shoulder,

"Old head Li, it's the age of red moon revival. Where is the Dragon King of Jianghe, don't worry about it. In previous years, we didn't come out this season."

"Go away, everyone is still waiting to play cards, come together, let's make a table together."

The man turned and left the deck.

In the rainy night.

Only the old man stared at the mist of the merchant ship that was about to envelop.

Speechless for a long time.

A bad feeling,

In his heart, it couldn't be suppressed.

Inside the cabin, small square.

Brightly lit.

Warm and lively.

It is in sharp contrast with the rain curtain on the deck.

It's like an absurd oil piece.

Workers gathered in twos and threes.

Either chatting, spanking, or drinking.

Sitting in a separate space on the second floor is a young man in his twenties.

A casual outfit.

Holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

Still shaking.

He is the young owner of this merchant ship.

At the same time, it is also a famous representative of young and promising people around Xucheng.

He is generous and treats the workers below.

His hair is slightly long.

A pair of peach blossom eyes, the most eye-catching.

This also makes him.

The beautiful peach blossoms around him continue.

Even now.

Opposite the man, there was also a young beauty of the same age.

"My boss, we all look at the two of you are really talented and beautiful."

"I don't know, when will we be lucky enough to have a glass of your wedding wine from the owner."

From below, the rough voice of the workers shouted loudly.

The rest are laughing.

Obviously,

Such jokes have become commonplace.

The young man did not answer.

Just threw a piece of peanuts at the bottom.

Throw it on the talking worker.

The woman opposite the young man seemed a little shy.

The two toasted.

Smile at each other.

...

Damn--

Just now.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from the merchant ship.

Most of the workers in the entire cabin were overturned to the ground by this impulse.

For a while,

Drinks, cigarette butts, and cards are flying.

The woman on the second floor exclaimed.

The young man took the waist to avoid falling.

"what happened!"

The young man's face became ugly.

With so many years of sailing experience.

this...

It was definitely the sound that the merchant ship was able to make when it encountered a collision.

"Go and see if there is any water leaking from the merchant ship!"

His voice spread again.

The workers below also put down their entertainment facilities one by one.

They are all friends with many years of experience with the ship.

immediately,

Began to act one after another.

Four or five people rushed out of the cabin and came to the deck.

On the deck.

Only the old man was still holding the railing tightly.

The joints of the fingers have turned white.

"Old Li, what's the matter! Did you see something hit the boat?"

The man who first came to the deck shouted at the old man.

The sound was drowned out by heavy rain.

The rain crackled and became denser.

Around the river surface,

I don't know when it has been covered by heavy fog.

The mist is still visibly flowing.

In the sky, there are light spots, dragging the tail to cut through the sky, and also illuminate the fog.

Meteor shower!

A vision from heaven,

There will be disaster.

The old man who was questioned did not answer.

The man was a little puzzled.

For this half of the masters, in fact, they are all respect from the bottom of their hearts.

He walked up to the old man.

But found out.

The big raincoat was shaking slightly.

Not blown by the wind!

It's the old man's body trembling!

this...

It seems to be shocked!

The man was even more puzzled.

It stands to reason that the old man has been walking on the boat for most of his life.

Even the ship capsized has been through several times.

Once even in the depths of the river bank, I encountered a legendary ghost hitting a wall.

The other workers were scared enough,

It was the old man who was in danger and commanded the merchant ship to move forward and solved the disaster.

Can...

Right now he...

What's the matter?

Why?

Is your body trembling so much?

Is it cold?

still...

I'm afraid...
