Lying on the raft was the man, tall and tall, with a black beard and a white beard. His clothes were in tatters, with numerous scratches and bruises. There was a long knife beside him, shining with golden light.

It was none other than the second manager of the Qin family in Shanxi, Jin Dao Chen Shengyi.

When Chang Sihao saw him, he rushed forward, grabbed his arm that was weakly hanging on the side of the raft, and shouted loudly.

Chen Shengyi was unconscious and had no reaction no matter how much he was shaken.

The old man looked happy and asked: "My dear, is this your relative?"

Chang Sihao shook his head: "No, but he saved me and is my benefactor."

The old man said: "We found him on the bank of the upstream river. He had fainted and was lying on the ground. There was a line of blood under his body that led to the woods. It seems that he came out of the woods with a knife and fell to the ground, trying to crawl.

I went to the river to drink water, but I ran out of energy on the way. I didn't think he looked like a bad guy. He probably encountered a bandit on the way and was harmed, so I and my granddaughter rescued him on the raft and drifted down. After a while, he went around the mouth of the pot, and there was another person downstream.

Not far away is my home. Since you know each other, come together!"

Chang Sihao nodded in thanks and walked to the end of the raft. He and the girl each raised a corner and walked side by side. The girl looked sideways at him, her long eyelashes fluttering, her eyes full of smiles. Chang Sihao remembered what happened just now.

Her face was red and she was extremely embarrassed. She didn't dare to look at her and just walked.

The three of them were talking while walking. The old man asked about his shoulder and rib injuries. Chang Sihao told the ins and outs of the battle with the Fan soldiers. The two of them were shocked and shocked. When asked about their names, it turned out that the old man's name was Baofu. He was on the Yellow River.

She earns a living by running rafts and catching fish. His granddaughter is already 12 years old, but she doesn't even have a name. She only has a nickname, Xiao Zhuangzi.

The three of them bypassed the huge Hukou Waterfall, walked a short distance, put down the raft, and went down the river. The raft was like a fallen leaf, galloping forward in the turbulent torrent, sometimes sinking at the bottom of the waves, sometimes flying on the top of the waves.

, Old Man Baofu stood with his knees bent at the head of the raft, holding the bamboo oar in his hand, looking around and avoiding the rocks. His body undulated and swayed with the raft, but his feet were like roots, and they were integrated with the sheepskin raft.

Chang Sihao grabbed the wooden frame on the raft and looked down through the gap. He saw the river flowing rapidly between the sheepskin tires under the wooden frame. It was dizzying. He couldn't help but feel his whole body tense up.

Her heart also fluctuated with the raft. The girl was sitting at the end of the raft, stepping on Chen Shengyi's golden knife, smiling as if nothing had happened.

The raft flew straight down the river, and in a blink of an eye, it had traveled several miles. The river gradually widened, the water slowed down, and the raft was no longer very bumpy. Chang Sihao felt relieved and sat up straighter. Only then did he realize that although the wind was blowing just now,

The waves were strong, but the old man was not wet at all.

At this time, the sun was in the middle of the sky. Looking sideways, I saw swaying reeds along the river, green fields like waves on both sides, and picturesque mountains in the distance. The breeze was refreshing, and the scenery was pleasant. In the distance, I could already see scattered Chaifei houses and people on the shore.

The scattered villages in the distance.

The girl Xiaozhuizi stood up and hummed a tune: "The sun comes out, the river is full of red, the water surface is shining with golden light, the fish are fat and the shrimps are strong, waiting for me to come and pull up a net...

"Children's voices are loud and sweet, and the tunes are melodious.

This moving tune, along with the rolling waves, swayed along with the raft, flowing all the way east.

After another journey, old man Baofu gently paddled his bamboo paddle, and the raft slowly docked. Chang Sihao helped pull up the raft, and the old man guided it ashore.

The grass path along the road was quiet and green, with swaying willow branches. Soon the three of them carried the raft and came to a fenced courtyard. In the center of the courtyard was a thatched hut, resting quietly under the shade of the trees, surrounded by a fence made of bamboo pieces and wooden sticks.

You can pass by raising your legs, but you can only guard against gentlemen and not villains. In the fence, two native chickens were leisurely scratching the ground to catch insects, cooing softly. The wooden door of the thatched house was open, and the two windows were also propped up with wooden sticks.

Ventilated and breathable.

Chang Sihao and old man Baofu took Chen Shengyi into the house and placed him on the wooden bed. He went to the jar and scooped out a bowl of water. The old man opened Chen Shengyi's teeth and slowly drank it for him. Chang Sihao

Hao asked: "How is he?" The old man said: "The injury is not serious. When I rescued him, I looked at his wounds and found that only the abdomen was the most serious. However, he had received first aid treatment. He must have caused it himself.

This man is really strong." As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes and showed Chang Sihao.

I saw that Chen Shengyi had a lot of flesh-colored scars on his body, but they had grown early. They had obviously experienced hundreds of battles. Chang Sihao had seen it many times on veterans in the army, so he didn't take it seriously. Only on the sides of his chest and abdomen,

There was a wound in the shape of a cross, with several steel needles stuck vertically on the skin that rolled outwards.

The old man closed his shirt and said: "As you said, he was injured by the four-sided black thorn. Although the wound was not big, the thorn was very deep and had damaged his internal organs. However, he has martial arts and profound internal energy, and

I have applied acupuncture to stop the bleeding, otherwise his life would have been sealed long ago. I was rafting on the Yellow River, and I don’t know how many times I cut my arm and knocked my head on the rocks. I have a little experience in treating trauma, you two.

Come and help me."

Chang Sihao nodded in agreement. The old man took out some medicinal materials from the cabinet in the house, put them into earthen jars, and asked Chang Sihao to build a small stove outside the courtyard to light a fire. Chang Sihao was a cook in the army, so this was very easy for him. Ying Yan said

He went to do it. The small pendant boiled water on the stove in the house. After a while, it burned, so he filled the basin. He brought it into the house and wiped Chen Shengyi's body. After cleaning up, the old man took knives, needlework and wound medicine to clean Chen Shengyi.

Surgery, sutures and bandaging. After Chang Sihao's decoction was finished, he opened his teeth and gave it to Chen Shengyi to drink.

After finishing all this work, it was already dusk, the dusk was dim, and smoke was everywhere in the village in the distance. Chang Sihao sat on the wooden pier where he was chopping firewood, looking at the setting sun like blood, and he was a little dazed. Old man Baofu ordered the small pendant to

He killed a native chicken and cleaned it under the kitchen. He picked up his cigarette bag, lit a pot, and walked out of the thatched house. When Chang Sihao saw him coming out, he hurriedly stood up and offered his seat. Old Baofu waved and smiled: "You kid, you look like

You know the etiquette, but how can you urinate in the Yellow River? People on both sides of the bank depend on it for food and survival. Although the Yellow River is ferocious and violent, it has also raised the children of this area. The people regard it as their mother, and they have to gather together every year.

Make some offerings to commemorate, and remember the source of the water. Don’t forget your kindness!”

Chang Sihao was so ashamed that Old Baofu smiled and said, "It's okay for a boy to be naughty. Come on!" He led Chang Sihao out along the way he came. When he was about to reach the river, he stretched out his hand and folded a few willow sticks and turned to the right.

Turning around, we came to a grassy depression. The hollow in the middle was covered with square wooden boards. The depression was blocked by a bamboo mesh near the water. The old man threw the wicker stick to Chang Sihao, leaned over and uncovered the wooden board. It turned out that there was a small pool of water underneath.

In the cellar, several large carp were frightened by the sight of people on the water surface. They turned over flowers and fetched water. There were still many of them with black backs and gold scales underneath. The old man fished them out with his big hand and shouted: "Go on!" A carp flew out of the water and flew straight to the cellar.

Chang Sihao rushed to the door, and Chang Sihao stretched out his hand to catch it. The fish was wet and slippery, and it fluttered. Water splashed on his head and face, and he couldn't catch it, so it fell to the ground.

This Yellow River carp was so strong that it jumped up to more than three feet high on the ground. Chang Sihao rushed to pounce on it, but couldn't hold it down. The fish jumped three times and was about to jump over the bamboo fence and re-enter the Yellow River.

Old man Baofu shouted: "Pick its gills!" Chang Sihao pounced on the fish and hurriedly followed his words. Sure enough, he caught a solid one. When he came back, he threaded it with wicker. His forehead was sweating and his body was covered with mud.

Point, the old man couldn't help laughing.

Chang Sihao felt embarrassed and unconvinced, so he said, "Just wait." He turned to the woods, found a spiky bamboo splinter, came back, stood still, and said, "Come on!"

Seeing this posture, old man Baofu understood what he meant and said with a smile: "Okay, then!" He raised his hand and another big carp flew towards Chang Sihao.

Chang Sihao looked at the incoming force and stabbed with his hand. The tip of the bamboo slice was inserted squarely between the carp's gills. He used the military's sharp knife method to remove the carp's bones, using only the carp's gill seam as a bone seam. He took it

The wicker threaded the fish and looked at the old man with a bright look on his face.

Old man Baofu smiled and nodded: "Good technique. Come again!" As he spoke, he inserted his big hand into the water cellar and stirred it up. The water splashed up, and three big carp shot toward Chang Sihao's chest and face like dragons swimming out of the water!

Chang Sihao's wrist trembled and he stabbed out continuously. The first two fish passed through his gills, but the third fish hit him hard on the side of the chest. This big carp, which weighed seven or eight kilograms, hit him very hard.

Sihao's ribs hurt.
