Chapter 529 (1/2)
Chang Wen asked, ”uncle, what's the name of the boatman who brought Caixia up from Qingjiang River? Where do you live? ”
Shi Xiaogu shook his head and replied: ”at that time, I was in a coma. I didn't remember to ask the boatman about these things. I just wanted to thank him again and again. That night, I drank a lot of wine. The next day, when I woke up, the boatman and the boatman had already left.”
”Uncle, is there any sign on the boss's cargo ship? For example, numbers and so on. ”
”There seems to be a number of 88.”
Chang Wen was right. This 88 freighter was the one who picked up Caixia's body.
The old man standing in the bow must be the boss.
Chang Wen asked, ”uncle, why did the boatman stay at your house all night?”
”The boatman said that he wasted a lot of time in order to catch the rosy clouds. He said that there was a dangerous beach in the downstream and he had to go there before noon. Otherwise, there would be the risk of capsizing and death.”
”Oh, so it is.”
In the afternoon, Chang Wen went to Qingjiang River again.
There was a small boat by the river. Several bearers were carrying things to it.
A man who looks like a boatman, with his waist crossed, looks at the porter carrying things.
Chang Wen went over and asked respectfully, ”uncle, are you the boss of the boat?”
The man glanced at Chang Wen and nodded.
”Uncle, I want to ask: is there a dangerous beach to swim down from here?”
The man replied, ”there are no dangerous beaches on the Qingjiang River.”
Chang Wen was surprised and asked, ”uncle, I heard that there is a dangerous beach when you swim down from here. If the ship passes this dangerous beach, it must be before noon, or it will capsize and die.”
”Who did you listen to?” the man asked
”Uncle, I also listen to a boatman.”
”Fart! That man is definitely not the boatman. I've been running on Qingjiang River for 20 years, but I've never heard of any dangerous shoals. However, it's true that the water in some sections of Qingjiang River is very shallow in winter, and it's impossible to run big ships. But in this season, the water is very deep, and no matter how big the ships are, they can run. Of course, if it's a ten thousand ton ship, it can't enter Qingjiang River. ”
Chang Wen was surprised. According to the boatman, the boatman who was fishing for Caixia lied.
Why would he lie?
Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of this lie to stay at shigu's house for one night.
Why did the boatman stay at shigu's house for one night?
He certainly didn't want to mix up two meals or stay for free for one night. There must be his intention.
What is the intention of the boatman?
Does it have anything to do with Caixia's body being stolen?
A series of questions appear in the brain of Changwen.
Chang Wen stands by the Qingjiang River and searches around. He hopes to see the 88 freighter again. He wants to ask the boatman: why lie? Why stay at shigu's all night?
All these questions should be answered by the captain of the 88 freighter.
Chang Wen stayed by the Qingjiang River for three days in a row. He hoped to meet freighter 88 again.
As the old saying goes, Kung Fu is worthy of those who want to do it.
On the fourth day when Chang Wen was waiting by the Qingjiang River, he finally saw the 88 freighter.
As expected, the boatman was still standing in the bow, looking in the direction of Shijia village.
Chang Wen waved and yelled, ”uncle, do you still know me?”
”Young man, why are you standing by the river again? You... You don't want to commit suicide by jumping into the river, do you
”Uncle, if I wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river, I would have jumped. Why should I stand here for several days?”
”Ha ha... Young man, are you looking at the scenery?”
”Uncle, I've been waiting for you.”
”Why are you waiting for me?”
”Uncle, I want to talk to you.”
