big dream master

"Brother Lao." Shen Luo smiled and let go of his hand.

"What's the matter, if the guest officer has any other orders, just say it. In recent days, the city gates are closed early, and they usually close at Xu. The guest officer should pay attention to the return time when playing." The shop assistant smiled and thanked him repeatedly. Collect the broken silver.

Shen Luo waved his hand, and the guy bent down and stepped back.

After eating, Shen Luo led the horse out of the city and headed southwest all the way. After about half an hour, he came to the bank of the river.

There are many confluences in the upper reaches of the Luanshui River, and the river surface is quite wide. On the artificial embankments on both sides and the tidal flats adjacent to the water, thick elm and willow trees grow everywhere, and the willow branches with dense roots hang down. The summer breeze swayed incessantly.

Shenlu walked all the way along the river bank. After walking for more than ten miles, he found that the riverbed of the Luanshui River began to shrink a little bit, and the originally broad water surface gradually narrowed by several dozen feet, making the originally gentle water flow gradually become. turbulent.

The further you go, the sandbars appearing on the river surface, with dense clumps of reeds growing on them, the reed leaves are green, and the wind makes a "crashing" sound, and water birds fly and fall from time to time.

After driving the horse for more than ten miles, Shen Lu finally saw not far from the river in front of him, there was an old elm tree dozens of feet high, and a simple thatched hut was erected in the shade under the tree.

On the shore of the water not far from the thatched hut, there was a small Wu Peng boat, with a bamboo pole about ten feet long stuck on the side of the boat.

He came not far under the elm tree, jumped off his horse, and walked slowly with the reins.

"Is the boatman here?" Shen Lu stood outside the house, shouting loudly.

"Hey, here we come..." A response sounded quickly, with a rather rough voice.

Immediately afterwards, a rather stout middle-aged man came out of the thatched hut.

Shen Luo looked up and down, and found that this person was three or four similar in appearance to Yu Meng, except that his complexion was too dark.

"Dare to ask but Yu Zhouzi?" Shen Luo asked.

"Haha, what Keguan said, the Luanshui River and Songfan County's water section is hundreds of miles up and down, but there is a second Yu Da?" The middle-aged man laughed loudly, and seemed quite content with his words.

"It's for the name of Brother Yu." Shen Luo heard the words and smiled.

"The guest officer is going to cross the river? But it's not easy to carry a horse. I'm afraid our boat can't stand on a horse."

"I don't want to cross the river, I just want to borrow a boat from my brother. The price... It's easy to discuss." Shen Luo blinked and said so.

Hearing Shen Luo's words, Yu Dan couldn't help but glanced at Shen Luo up and down again, and he couldn't figure out what this young man who looked like a rich boy wanted to do.

Shen Luo just looked at Yu Da Da with a smile, waiting for him to speak.

"This guest officer, you look like a foreigner, don't you? This yellow reed is not a good place to swim and play. You can see that the reed has a good scenery. There are undercurrents and rocks under the river, and there is a large area in the middle. Rocky beach. You're an old boater, and if you accidentally hit it, it's not a good idea to rent a boat yourself." Yu Daring frowned and persuaded.

"It's okay, I still know some water, just want to take a look in the reeds, and come back after enjoying the scenery." Shen Luo said.

"Guest officer, if you want to enjoy the scenery, we can take you there by boat. We will charge you the money for crossing the river back and forth. It's less expensive than renting a boat. It's not dangerous, don't you think?" Yu Dandan still felt uneasy. OK.

"Guest officer, don't listen to this fool's words..." Who knew that just after he finished speaking, before Shen Luo could answer, an eager female voice came from the hut.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman in a brown robe and a cloth towel came out of the hut with a big belly.

The woman's complexion was dark and red, and she was obviously accustomed to the hardships of the wind and the sun.

"Yo, there is such a handsome descendant..." The woman sighed in admiration when she saw the sinking.

Shen Luo smiled slightly, not serious.

"Why did you come out? Don't catch the wind." Seeing this, Yu Dan hurriedly turned around to meet him, with a concerned look on his face.

Seeing this, the woman gave him a fierce look, patted off the hand he was holding over, and said:

"You country man, do you know what Fengya is? This young master wants to go into the reeds to enjoy the scenery alone. Maybe if he has a poetic spirit, he can write a poem that is well known in the world. What's the fun with the rough guy next to me, isn't it an eyesore?"

Of course Shen Luo knew that the woman wanted to earn the money from the chartering boat, but she didn't break it, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is joking, I just want to relax by myself, how can there be any poetic talent..."

Hearing Shen Luo's words, his daughter-in-law kept winking again, so Yu Dan had no choice but to stay silent and stop talking.

"Hehe, how long does the young master have to rent it? Although our boat is not big, there is a lot of business this day. The young master can't treat our family badly." The woman said with a smile on her face.

"I'll rent it for three days. From now on, I'll give you [-] taels of silver from now on three days from now. How about it?" Shen Luo touched his chin and asked.

"How many……"

The woman's face changed a bit when she heard it, she really didn't expect Shen Luo's hand to be so generous.

"Ten taels of silver." Shen Lu repeated.

"No, no... it's too much." Yu Bold waved his hands again and again.

"This... it's a bit too much. It's more than enough to buy our family's boat. Not to mention ten taels, one tael is a lot." Rao was the woman who was greedy for money, and felt that she should not charge so much.

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about it. Brother Yu and I have a good relationship. These ten taels of silver should be a friend. I even rent this boat." Shen Lu couldn't refute.

"Young master is very arrogant and generous, and he will definitely be rich and noble in the future..." The woman laughed so hard that the more she looked at the future life in front of her, the more she felt pleasing to the eye.

Chapter 0049

After the negotiation, Shen Lu handed over the horses to Yu Daran and his wife to take care of them, while he supported the boat and swung toward the river.

When he was about to set off, Yu Daran did not forget to remind him carefully, for fear that something would happen to him, Shen Luo naturally did not dare to neglect this, and wrote down the conditions of each river section in detail, as well as the matters needing attention.

The woman even added clean drinking water to the boat, and brought out some pancakes and some jerky from the house, wrapped in sackcloth, and forced to sink into the boat to eat.

Shen Luo's kindness was difficult to accept, so he also smiled and took the package down.

The Wu Peng boat drifted down the turbulent river, sank and stood on the bow, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, but instead of propping the boat, he explored the reefs in the water on both sides of the boat.

Soon, the boat bypassed the clumps of reeds that were as tall as people and entered a field of reeds.

According to Yu Dandan, this section of the river is the most turbulent section of the entire Luanshui River. When the boat first entered the water, the speed was not too fast, but the further downstream it went, the speed increased so rapidly that it sank. Had to start bottoming out with a penny to slow down the boat.

It's just that he knows the fact of punting, but it's nothing in calm waters. In this rapid current, even though he has been fully focused, he is still unavoidable.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The boat swayed from east to west, constantly hitting the reefs under the river, startling the geese flying in the reeds on both sides, and the water birds taking off.

When encountering some big eddies and reefs, he had to do his best to push the boat away, otherwise, if he got involved, he might overturn the boat if he was accidentally involved.

Shen Luo soon became so tired that he was sweating all over his body, and his eyes were shining with gold stars.

Along the way, he paid special attention to the river banks on both sides to see if there was any narrowing of the river channel. However, due to the high and dense reeds in the river, his vision was affected and he could not see it accurately. judge.

After all, where the river narrows, the water will speed up.

Shenlu has been drifting for seven or eight miles, and there are no rocky beaches along the way, but there are quite a few sandbars in the middle of the river.

His boat plunged head-on into two long and narrow sandbars.

The sandbar was all covered with cyan reeds, as if a natural waterway had been sandwiched between them. As soon as the boat entered it, the speed suddenly accelerated and rushed out.

There was a muffled "bang", and when the boat rushed out of the reeds, it suddenly shook violently.

The sunken figure staggered and almost fell from the bow of the boat.

He supported the bamboo pole, stabilized his body, looked forward, and saw that the front of the boat had hit a rocky beach with a radius of dozens of meters. Fortunately, the boat was made of solid wood, but it was not damaged. .

Unlike the sandbars seen along the way, the rocky beach was full of fist-sized gray-white pebbles and sand, and where it collided with the bow, there was a brown river reef much larger than other stones.

Not only was the rock oddly craggy, but it was only two feet above the water, and more of it was submerged.

Fortunately, the bow of the ship was stuck in a groove of this strange rock, but luckily it was not damaged.

Shen Luo looked at the riverbanks on both sides for a moment, and found that the rivers on both sides had narrowed a lot when they got here, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The narrowing of the river channel, the rocky beach, the underwater reef, it seems that this should be here." Shen Luo muttered.

According to Yu Yan, their ancestors found the nameless book under a rocky beach at the beginning, and now this place is very consistent.

I thought it would take a lot of searching, but I didn't expect to spend too much effort.

Shen Luo threw the bamboo pole on the rocky beach, leaned over and tied the rope tied to the bow of the boat to the river reef, and tugged it hard, making sure the boat would not float away with the water, before sitting down in the cabin. , fell backwards.

Just now, he had been propping the boat all the way, and he was already exhausted. At this moment, let alone going down the river to find the scriptures, he had no strength to jump off the bow of the boat.

Shen Luo rested for a long time, and after eating some dry food, he finally took a sigh of relief and stood up again.

He took out a bundle of hemp ropes as thick as a thumb from the cabin, tied one end firmly to the river reef, and wrapped the other end around his waist twice before jumping off the boat and arriving at the rocky beach. superior.

The shape of the rocky beach is similar to an ellipse, which is consistent with the direction of the water flow. It is long and narrow from east to west and slightly narrower from north to south. The river reef stands at the west end of the rocky beach.

I saw the river was dark and had a faint smell of mud. There were white waves on the rocky beach nearby, and whirlpools of different sizes floated on the river in the distance, so I couldn't see the situation under the water at all.

He calmed down a little, stuck out one foot, and stepped carefully towards the water.

As a result, the rocks on the water's edge were loose, and suddenly slipped downward after a little force.

Shen Luo suddenly stepped on the air, and with a "pop", he fell into the river.

The river here is quite deep, he buried himself in the water, and was slammed by the rushing river water, his back hit the boulder directly, he couldn't help opening his mouth, and choked directly into a few large mouths mixed with Sandy river water.

In panic, he hurriedly turned around, grabbed the boulder and climbed up, stuck his head out of the water, took a sharp breath, and then coughed violently.

"Cough cough..."

After sinking for a while, he regained his senses. He reached out and wiped the water on his face, feeling a little frightened in his heart.

"This place is really dangerous, but if it weren't for this, the Nameless Book would not have been here for so long, and no one has found it." Shen Lu thought so, and the desire for the Nameless Book grew stronger in his heart.

This time, he took a deep breath, pinched his nose, and sank sharply into the water, holding the boulder behind him with one hand, and dipping into the water little by little.

After entering the water, he slowly opened his eyes, but found that the water in the river was a little turbid, and he couldn't see too much clearly, and he couldn't see too far at all. He could only touch the bottom of the river with the help of the river reef.

To his surprise, the riverbed was actually quite deep, and when he stepped on the sand at the bottom of the river with his feet, the breath he held back was no longer enough.

Resisting the feeling of suffocation, he tried his best to open his eyes wide to look towards the bottom of the river under the rocky beach. Hands over to grope.

He only touched it for a short while, and after a long period of holding his breath, his mind was dizzy and his chest was dull, so he could only hold on to the piece and climb a little bit and return to the water.

Shen Lu took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.

After the breath calmed down a little, he plunged into the water again and sank toward the bottom of the river.

This time, in order to stay at the bottom of the river for a while, he sank much faster. Once he got to the bottom of the river, he immediately began to explore underwater.

It's just that the bottom of the water is dark, and there are sand and sand, and the eyes can help very little, and the sinking can only be like a headless fly, groping.

After a while, the breath was exhausted, and he could only return again.

After recovering a little, he hurriedly plunged into the bottom of the river and groped around under the rocky beach.

After a few back-and-forths, when he came to the surface to take a breath, he was tired and cold, and his lips were a little bruised.

Holding the river reef, he looked up slightly towards the west sky, and found that the sun had begun to slant westward.

"try again……"

Shen Luo's eyes narrowed, and he took another breath. The whole person sank down again and dived towards the bottom of the river.

He almost touched the mud caves and caves under the river reef, so he bypassed the stones and swam toward the south side of the rocky beach, touching the riverbed with his palms.

This time, when his right hand squeezed through a small hole and probed into it, his fingertips suddenly touched something completely different from a stone.

Chapter 0050 Bags

It felt like sackcloth, and the outline was like a bulging sackcloth bag, with uneven insides, and it seemed to contain a lot of things.

"Could it be a book from heaven?" Shen Luo's heart moved, and he quickly grabbed the corner of the sack, trying to pull it out.

Yu Yan didn't say what the book of heaven looked like at the time, maybe it was just packed in this bag.

However, the hole at the bottom of the river was no bigger than the mouth of a bowl, but the sack inside was bulging, it seemed to be the size of a small urn, it was firmly stuck in it and could not be taken out.

After sinking several attempts, there was still nothing he could do.

At this time, his breath was exhausted again, and he could only surface again.

Shen Luo was lying on the river reef, his chest heaving violently, but his eyes couldn't hide his excitement, and he could even hear his heart beating rapidly.

Previously, when he saw Yu Yu Daan, he was seven or eight points sure that what Yu Yan said in the dream was true.

And now this opportunity seems to be only one step away from him, how can this make him not excited?

After sinking and taking a good breath this time, instead of diving into the water immediately, he climbed up the rocky beach and returned to the cabin.

After a while, he carried a two-foot-long black iron drill in his hand, jumped off the bow, and dived underwater again.

After sinking into the narrow hole, he inserted the iron rod in his hand into the hole, carefully avoiding the things inside, and then pried it back and forth.

The river reef is huge in size, and its weight is naturally unusual. Of course Shenluo never thought of prying it up. He just wanted to expand the hole by prying back and forth, and then take out the contents inside.

A faint sound of friction sounded continuously under the water, and the sediment brought by the sinking action kept floating up, forcing him to close his eyes tightly, only to open it after a while to take a look.

Although the river reef has been eroded by running water for a long time, its firmness is still unexpectedly sinking. He spent a lot of effort to pry it for a while, and only slightly enlarged the hole. finger.
