At night, it started raining again.

Fortunately, it wasn't big, so the people in the floating village didn't take this little water droplet seriously. Not to mention the plastic cloth, there were not even many people wearing bamboo hats.

Ding Qi took the tooth bucket and walked to the platform next to the boathouse, facing the water, brushing his teeth.

The day was dull. Yi Sa drove a boat to Chen Tu for breakfast early in the morning. Ding Qi realized that she had been floating outside for a long time and lived in Fu Village for less than a month every year. So her family did not open a stove. She either paid for the meal at Chen Tu or bought it from "frying" - this Fu Village specialized in cooking. Every time it was time to eat, she carried a hot rice pot onto the boat and rowed along the waterway while selling it. Most of the pots were porridge, soup rice, or rice noodles. If anyone wanted to buy it, she would come out with a bowl and ask for a spoonful.

After dinner, she pulled Chen Tu and Li Zhenxiang to play cards, and the small bet was not big, and each had its own winning or losing. Someone came to Chen Tu to see a doctor and buy medicine in the middle, so she stopped to rest.

Ding Qi watched the game coldly and watched all morning.

In the afternoon, she went to the depths of the lake to release black ghosts.

Ding Qi also went with him. It was not tiring to work, so Wu Gui drifted into water and found food by himself.

Generally, fishermen put ospreys in order to catch fish. They should tie a ring on the neck of the osprey to prevent it from eating the fish. In this way, the fish cannot enter the stomach even after swallowing it. They can get stuck in the ring buckle and squeeze out the neck.

But Wugui is not a domestic animal who works for people. He doesn’t need to eat as much as he likes.

Ding Qi saw the fierceness of the black ghost for the first time. It pierced into the depths of the lake. Not long after, a big fish jumped and was thrown out of the water. Before it could fall, the black ghost had already poked out of the water, opened its big mouth, and did not chew or bite it, swallowing the fish little by little.

The cruel predation in nature can be seen here.

Sometimes, the fish was too fat, and Ding Qi stared at Wugui's gradually swollen neck, afraid that it would choke to death, and even felt uncomfortable in his throat.

Yi Sa handed him a thin branch of cigarette: "Have you seen it before? There are no black ghosts on the Yellow River?"

Ding Qi is not sure: "I have seen it more in the south. I heard that it likes places that don't freeze."

He didn't know what the tobacco branch was used for, so he saw Yi Sa put it in his mouth to chew it, so he followed suit.

But the smell is not acceptable, just like he subconsciously felt that Yi Sa was difficult to get close to, so he subconsciously warned him.

In fact, it is somewhat out of regional concepts and is exclusive.

Because I heard since I was a child that she grew up on the banks of the Lancang River.

The Lancang River originated in the Zaduo area of ​​Qinghai. It is high in altitude, bitter and cold, and silver-fine water flows through the ground like a reptile. But what is magical is that it actually flows deeper and wider, and several vast rivers flow out of the world's dawn.

One is the Yangtze River, the second is the Yellow River, and the third is the Lancang River.

So some people call Zaduo "Sanjiangyuan", which means that the three rivers are of the same origin.

The Yangtze River and Yellow River are the first and second longest rivers in Asia. The areas they flow through are all in China. They are considered inland rivers. They are densely populated along the coast and mostly towns. Countless people rely on water to get water. The big river culture is almost equivalent to Chinese culture, so it is extremely well-known in China, so no one doesn’t know about it.

By comparison, the Lancang River is much less famous, although it is also one of the "Three Rivers" and the third longest river in Asia.

Because it did not flow eastward to entangle the mainstream Chinese civilization. On the contrary, the areas it flowed southward were mostly sparsely populated canyons and jungles filled with miasma. In ancient times, it was called the barbarian land. Except for exile criminals, most people could not remember it.

From the map, the direction of the Lancang River after it left the Sanjiang Source is quite like leaving one leg and deliberately keeping a distance from people: the section flowing through Yunnan and Tibet is only a grain of rice from the border, and it will eventually flow out of the border - it left the country in Mengla County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. After it goes out, it will no longer be called the Lancang River, but it has changed its name.

Mekong River.

Therefore, the full name of the third long river in Asia is "Lancang River-Mekong River". Add a connection number in the middle, and the beginning and end cannot fall.

Ding Chi is growing by the Yellow River and lives in the most orthodox and ancient cultural customs. It sees the southwest of the mountains and mountains, and there are many barriers. What's more, Yi Sa later went to Southeast Asia for a long time to live.

This made him feel that the "Yi" surname, who was seeking life along the Lancang River among the three surnames of Water Ghost, was as cold and alienated as the Lancang River on the map, making people unable to relate.

The black ghost suddenly rushed out of the lake not far from the boat, and swung his head like a pendulum, throwing a fish into the cabin.

The fish was struggling dyingly at the bottom of the bilge, and the fishy water spots sprinkled everywhere.

Yi Sa took the tip of her shoe and pushed the fish into the corner: "The Wugui performed well today, we had fish to eat."

Ding Qi stared at the Wugui: "I heard that the Wugui you raise only eats blood eels after birth. When it is 60 days old, it will feed a pair of dead eyes. In this way, after getting into the water, it can see all those who live and die."

Yi Sa didn't even raise his eyelids: "Fethical superstition, do you believe this?"

Ding Qi felt that she was extremely cunning in speaking, and built a wall of iron and iron, making it impossible for you to deal with it.

I had to change the topic: "You do these things every day?"

Yi Sa said: "Yes, live a life, day after day, who still tries to draw flowers all day long? Isn't it very boring? If you are bored, go back to China."

...

Yi Sa is not pretentious and never forgets to remind him: You are not popular, you can get out early, I feel uncomfortable if you are here.

Ding Qi lowered his eyelids, rinsed his mouth with water, and then squatted down to avoid the dirty water splashing on his body when he spits water.

After rinsing it over and about to rinse it over and suddenly noticed that the place where I had just spitted water, among the dust and muddy foam, seemed to have a strange shape under the rippling water light...

He wanted to look down, but at this moment, with a thud, two blue-white arms suddenly stretched out under the water, instantly wrapped around his neck, and then rushed in with great force, depending on the situation, he was going to drag him into the water.

Ding Qixin complained that he was so bad that he suddenly exerted force from his waist and hips, trying to use the power of his lower body to stop his body, but it was bad that he stood too close to the edge, and his force had no fulcrum, and his upper body was about to fall down...

In the flash of lightning, he tried his best to grasp the edge of the wooden board of the platform with his hands, slipped back, and successfully changed to a squat. However, the thing was extremely strong. Ding Qi felt that his body was still being dragged down, and he was shocked to sweat. In desperation, he bit his teeth to death, freed up a hand, quickly touched the toothbrush that fell to the ground, turned it over and broke the brush head, and then he ignored it and stabbed it hard at the thing...

I don’t know how many times I went back and forth, but suddenly I heard the sound of the water basin falling and Li Zhenxiang’s scream. The force suddenly took off, and the water was soaked in the water. Ding Qi fell to the terrace, gasping heavily, and blood was stained between his neck.

***

When Yi Sa received the news, Chen Tu had already done a simple treatment for Ding Qi. It was hot and wet, so it was not recommended to bandage it tightly, so he only applied a lot of purple potion on the neck. At first glance, it looked like a purple scarf wrapped.

Li Zhenxiang was so scared that her face turned pale. She told Yi Sa that there was a woman in the water and she wanted to drag Ding Qi down. Moreover, she was more worried about the woman than Ding Qi because she could see clearly that Ding Qi's broken toothbrush handle seemed to have been inserted into the woman's head twice.

The implication is that the woman was afraid of her life and was also talking about finding a few men with good nature to go down and take a look. Maybe the body is under everyone's feet.

Yi Sa got closer and looked at the scars on Ding Qi's neck.

One by one, obviously, was grabbed with your fingernails. There were a few pieces of flesh and blood mixed with potions, which made her feel a little disgusted.

Chen Tu was also puzzled. He didn't see the scene, and it wasn't so visually shocking. He just thought that someone was going to deal with Ding Qi: "He just came here, don't he offend anyone, right?"

Yi Sa lowered his eyes, and Ding Qi looked up at her. The two of them met halfway through, as if they had passed a Tai Chi pusher. After weighing each other, they immediately took it back, and each understood it.

She replied: "I'll go and see. He is injured. You can get another rabies vaccine. Insurance."

***

Yi Sa made a big flashlight with one hand and a thin baseball bat of alloy steel in the other hand, walking and watching on the edge of the platform.

This baseball bat is hollow and not heavy, but because of its metal material, it is very good to hit, and it is slender and beautiful, and basically does not take up any space. It is very suitable for women to defend themselves.

Yi Sa's one was thrown into the boat during the day and leaned against the head of the bed at night.

The man who touched her room had a disability on one leg, thanks to this baseball bat.

Li Zhenxiang followed from afar, trying to stay away from the edge of the water, reminding her in fear: "Isa, stay away from the water, if someone comes out again..."

Li Zhenxiang began to chant something. She believed in the Gaotai religion of Vietnam. This sect was compatible with the gods of the East and the West. They worshiped Sakyamuni, Jesus, and Li Bai, Shakespeare, and Newton. Every time she asked God for blessing, she would recite seven or eight names.

Yi Sa squatted down at the place where Ding Chi had an accident. The flashlight swept across the wooden board that he had broken when he was struggling with force, and also swept over the slightly shaking under the terrace, without any unusual water surface.

Not far away, the black ghost stood upright, his wings tightly closed, and only two green eyes filled with evil spirits.

Yi Sa turned off the flashlight and looked back at Li Zhenxiang: "Sister Xiang, I'll give it to you."

Li Zhenxiang lives a distance from this. In the past, she would take a boat after dinner. Today, she was disturbed by Ding Qi's incident and missed the time.

***

After sending Li Zhenxiang back, most of the families in Fu Village had turned off their lights. Once the boathouse was gone, there was only a dark outline left.

The lake was quiet, and the motor sound of the boat was muffled and low, stirring the water, and circled around, and then circled back in front of Chen Tu's boathouse.

Chen Tu had already fallen asleep. The boathouse was mostly dark, and the door of the chalet was open, and a dizzy yellow lamp was lit.

Near the edge of the water at the door, Wugui and Ding Ji were squatting side by side. Ding Ji was smoking and the ash bounced into the water under his feet.

Yi Sa leaned over the boat: "Give me the toothbrush handle."

Ding Qi seemed to have been waiting for this sentence, so he raised his hand and handed it over.

“Has washed?”

"No."

Yi Sa took the sharp toothbrush handle with the broken mouth and looked carefully: "How many times have you poked the flesh?"

"Thirteen times."

"Thirteen times without blood?"

She said, sending the handle of the toothbrush to the end of her nose.

This time, she frowned and spoke after a few seconds: "It's a little smelly."

Ding Qi smiled and said, "Is it the rotten smell of dead people?"

Yi Sa didn't look at him and held the handle of the toothbrush in front of Wugui: "Don't talk nonsense, this big lake has always been clean."

The word "clean" has accent.

The black ghost lowered his head, and his thin beak with a sharp hook repeatedly pushed the toothbrush handle, then moved his flippers, calmly, got into the water from the edge, and swam away quickly.

Yi Sa wanted to ask Ding Qi if he wanted to do it. If she was afraid, she could go and follow him alone. Before he could speak, he had already boarded the boat.

The Wugui swam all the way to the periphery, sometimes his head was buried under the water, and his back drew a bright white water line on the lake surface, and the boat was tied with a tail and followed closely.

After passing by his boat house halfway, Yi Sa stopped the boat and went in to get things. When he came out, he carried a tool kit in his left hand and a bucket of diesel in his right hand.

It seems that the itinerary is not short.

This is true. When it is almost as deep as the lake, the fuel tank bottoms out and the thrusters are off.

As soon as the motor stopped, the lake became terrible quiet. Yi Sa got up and cheered on the thruster. The black ghost seemed to be human, and stopped not far away to wait. After she had added it, she continued to lead the way.
