my weird life

Chapter 947 Rising and retreating river (12)

"This is the ebb and flow of the river!

Seeing that the water in the river is still very full, it should not fade away in a short time!
Let's stop here for a while, I guess we will have to rest for a few nights before the river recedes..." The strong man looked at the big pool that had submerged many trees and was shrouded in green mist, and said somewhat dejectedly .

Su Wu stayed on the horse beside the big river, looked at the quiet and flowing water in the river, and asked the strong man behind him, "Although the river is wide, the water is not really deep. We should cross the river on horseback. no problem."

"Then how can there be no problem?" The strong man shook his head again and again, rejecting Su Wu's proposal, "The river is indeed not deep, but when you get to the middle of the river, you will know - the water in the river is rising higher and higher , The higher the rise, the higher the rise, and many "water risers" will come up with the river, and they line up to invite you to walk with them!

If you go with them - you'll 'melt' in the water, become part of the ebbing river! "

Speaking of this, the strong man paused, looked at Su Wu suspiciously and asked, "You don't even know this? Then how did you walk across the 'Rising and Retreating River' before?"

Su Wu looked down at the vast river, and replied: "When I came here earlier, this place was just a large piece of muddy land, and I didn't see any river flooding here."

He was not telling the truth to his companions.

When passing through this large pool earlier, Su Wu walked through the water completely.

Halfway through the walk, I encountered many paper figures blowing trumpets and suonas and gathered toward me—those paper figures should be what the strong man called "water rising people".

Those 'water people' couldn't take him away, nor could they 'melt' him into the water.

After that, he completely fell into a dream, and the water in the big pool disappeared in an instant...

Has this phenomenon ever happened?

Are there any rules?
Su Wu's thoughts turned, he got off his horse and walked towards the river.

The strong man looked at Su Wu's back enviously, and said, "You are so lucky. When you come here, you will be able to meet the time when the river is receding..."

As he spoke, he also rolled off his horse awkwardly: "It seems that we can only wait here for a few days, and we can talk about it after the river ebbs."

"Aside from waiting here for the river to recede, is there any other way?
Can't the 'Rising Water Man' fight back? " Su Wu asked again.

The strong man led the horse to the tall tree beside him and tied it up. He turned his head and stared wide-eyed, and replied to Su Wu: "The flooded man is part of the river? How to repel it?

Haven't you heard the saying 'When a knife cuts off water, water flows more'?
That thing can't be beaten back!
However, in fact, there is indeed a way to make the water of the ebb and flow river subside... I heard that if a person is selected by the "Tianzhu Lord", he walks into the ebb and flow river, and the river can be stopped, and then Fade! "

"The person chosen by Lord Tianzhu..." Su Wu repeated the strong man's words, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "Who is Lord Tianzhu? Does he also live 'outside'?"

The strong man shook his head and said, "Then who would know?

Lord Tianzhu supports Wanhe Qianzhou. It is said that 'Grandpa Tian' was carried on his shoulders by 'Grandpa Tianzhu', and some people say that 'Grandpa Tian' is actually the foundation of the pillar, and it is he who supports Lord Tianzhu... ..."

"Is there no 'Grandfather Earth'?" Su Wu asked with a smile.

"No." The brawny man said, "but there is 'Grandpa Longgou—don't care what grandpa or grandpa, they are not as powerful as Grandpa Tianzhu and Grandpa Tian, ​​they are the biggest grandpas!"

"..."

Su Wu listened to the strong man's words. Although he knew that the other party's words were extremely serious, he still felt a little happy when he heard various "grandfather" names.

At this time, there was a sound of tumbling water in the silent river.

Whoa!Whoa!
He turned to look at the swollen and ebbing river.

The strong man also hurried to go behind Su Wu, and stretched his neck to look into the green mist——

In the mist, there was a wooden raft swinging on the water. A scholar in white was sitting on the top of the raft, holding a long wooden stick. He had already reached the middle of the river on the wooden raft.

"Can you still cross the river?
The rising water people won't catch him, will they? "The strong man looked at the white-clothed scholar on the raft and said in surprise.

As soon as he said it, it came true on the spot——

Shadows whiter than the clothes of the scholars wearing scholar hats on the wooden raft suddenly rose from the water mist—they blew trumpets, suonas, and beat gongs and drums, flocking to the scholars on the wooden raft from all directions!

Although these white shadows were quite different from the 'paper figurines' Su Wu saw at that time.

But looking at the various musical instruments they played, Su Wu was sure that these white shadows were the group of paper figurines Su Wu encountered when he was wading through the water!

"Tsk..."

The strong man was speechless with regret, watching the white shadows climb up the raft and shake it over.

The scholar on the wooden raft also fell into the water, and the river water, which only reached his waist, suddenly rose, and covered his chest in the blink of an eye, and wiped the opponent's neck in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that this method is not working...

He's going to be taken away by the rising water man, he's going to be melted..." The strong man murmured, with a look of concern on his face, watching the scholar gradually sinking into the water.

When his attention was not on Su Wu at all, Su Wu stepped into the receding river——

The strong man suddenly noticed Su Wu's movement, stretched out his hand to pull Su Wu's shoulder, and said anxiously: "What are you doing?!

Do you want to die? ! "

With a flash, Su Wu dodged the palm that the strong man stretched out.

He stepped into the river with both feet, and a feeling naturally arose in his heart - he looked at the surface of the water where the mist rose, and said: "The river is going to recede..."

"how is this possible?!
There is still such a large amount of water—come up quickly! "The strong man didn't believe Su Wu's words at all.

Su Wu's eyes were still, and he still said: "I didn't lie to you, the water is really going to recede."

The voice just fell!

In the big pool full of river water, there was a more intense sound of water suddenly!

wow -- wow --

The river is rushing, enveloping white shadows, bounded by Su Wu's standing position, flooding towards the left and right sides at the same time, the tide is ebbing!
In one breath, under the tumbling mist, the water level of the river plummeted, exposing the river bed covered in mud!
The water in the river rises and falls, recedes cleanly!

The scholar was wearing a scholar's hat, and his white clothes were completely soaked. At this moment, he stood in the mud in a daze, his face pale.

"The water has receded! The water has receded!" the brawny man shouted, looking at the current spectacle in shock.

His voice spread here, and in the mist, it seemed to have an echo.

Excited shouts came from the other side: "The water has receded! The water has receded!"

"The water has receded!"

The voices of men and women came from the other side, but it was the people on the other side of the river who were waiting to cross the river shouting in unison, not the echo of the strong men.

In the mist, figures gradually appeared.

The strong man came back to his senses, walked up to Su Wu in a hurry, stared at Su Wu with wide eyes, his eyes were full of shock: "You, how do you know that the water is about to retreat?

You——you won't be the one chosen by 'Tianzhu Lord', will you? ! "

"The person chosen by Lord Tianzhu can make the river recede. Do you think I have this ability?" The pensive look on Su Wu's face suddenly faded away, and he smiled and said to the strong man, "I It’s just a way to tell the difference between rising and falling water, just now when I stepped into the water, I felt that the flow of the water was not normal, so I asserted that the water was about to recede.”

He explained it logically, and the strong man believed his words, nodded his head repeatedly, and said to him: "Anyway, it is indeed right for me to follow you.

You cross the river twice, and you catch the receding water both times.

It can be seen that you are a very lucky person, you are very lucky - I follow you, and I am also in your light! "

Su Wu smiled and looked across the river.

Seven or eight people walked across the river with one deep foot and one shallow foot. They were full of joy, talking to each other and walking past Su Wu and the strong man.

"We are lucky!"

"Yes!"

"We heard that the rising and receding river receded, so we rushed over, but we didn't expect it to rise again—we thought we would have to wait on the bank for a long time, but we didn't expect it to recede for the second time so quickly. !"

"Who said it wasn't?

There is never a set number for the river to rise and fall. Sometimes the water rises and falls once a day or two, and sometimes the water may not return once in a month or two. This time, the water has not retreated for 13 years!

My old lady is waiting for me at Mantou Mountain, maybe she is almost 'melting'!

Fortunately, the water receded this time! "

These people walked past Su Wu talking and laughing.

The second and third groups of people also gradually appeared in the mist, and everyone's faces could not hide their joy.

Previously, Su Wu walked from the 'outside' through the 'Jieguan Valley', all the way through the 'Looking Wall' and the 'Rising and Retreating River', and only saw the strong man alone when he arrived at Mantou Mountain. Now he is leading the strong man back , but suddenly saw so many people!
Seeing so many people showed that Su Wu had fallen into a deep dream.

Some of these people have rattails and short jackets;

Some wore bamboo hats, carried fishing nets, and dressed up as fishermen;
There are also people with high crowns and belts, and long hair combed into a bun.

All in all, people in all kinds of costumes can be seen here, and even Su Wu saw many blind, lame, and broken hands, all of whom were wearing modern clothes.

People hurried past Su Wu and the strong man, occasionally someone nodded slightly to Su Wu.

Su Wu also nodded in response.

After walking past three or four groups of people, the scholar who was standing in the middle of the river suddenly realized that he was carrying the bookcase, hunched over and hurried across the river, walking towards the opposite bank.

When he walked to Su Wu and the strong man, the scholar suddenly stopped in his tracks. Under the suspicious eyes of the strong man, he unloaded the bookcase behind him, took out a book soaked in water from the bookcase, and handed it to him. To Su Wu: "Brother's kindness, I really have nothing to repay, so I will give you this book as a gift to your brother!

Thank you, Xiongtai, thank you, Xiongtai! "

Su Wu stretched out his hand to push back, and said at the same time: "I really don't know what I have done, to be kind to you, brother?

I am ashamed of this book. "

The scholar glanced at the strong man beside Su Wu, but he didn't respond to Su Wu's question. He just pushed the book into Su Wu's arms, and hurried away with his head bowed. The son ran away early and disappeared.
