This is a boat family. The head of the household is called Leitou Wang. They are the lowest boat people in the Tang Dynasty. They make a living by fishing and water transportation. They bring their own boats and rely on the large fleet. Although they are not lowly, they are not much better.
Today, the mangy man moved the boat here just to earn a small amount of money for delivering goods.
Since the other party had agreed to transport grain to the town tomorrow, and it was getting late, the man simply parked the boat on a nearby lake for the night.
Anyway, the people on their boat are all at home, so there is no place to rest.
In addition to himself, his wife and daughter also lived on the boat.
Late at night at this time, the couple had already fallen asleep. The scabby Wang, who was only wearing a crotch, drank too much water before going to bed. He was woken up by urination in the middle of the night. He got out of the cabin, took out his dick and stood on the side of the boat and pointed at her.
Spread on the river.
While he was pouring water, under the moonlight, he suddenly saw a man in white clothes floating towards this side very quickly.
It was really floating! The mangy dog swore! Her feet didn’t move at all!
"Ouch! Ghost!" The mangy man was so frightened that he suddenly stopped urinating. His eyes widened and he howled miserably. He fell into the lake with a "plop" and drank several sips mixed with what he had just peeed.
of urine in the lake.
Lin Wanwan rode a balancing car and looked at each other from a distance on the shore.
There was movement on the boat, and it was the scabby daughter-in-law Yan who was awakened.
Reluctant to light the oil lamp, Yan walked out of the cabin in the dark: "Master, what's wrong?"
The mangy man clung to the side of the boat and climbed onto the boat. He didn't care to reply. He finally calmed down and looked towards the shore, only to see that the white ghost was still there.
After being frightened, the man lost his voice. He couldn't even speak. He took his wife and bowed his head together and prayed for mercy without saying a word.
It's midnight now, the time of day when the yin energy is at its strongest, and the balance bike under Lin Wanwan's feet is all black, so it's no wonder it can cause misunderstandings.
Now that she has been seen, she can only make mistakes, and Lin Wanwan does not intend to explain.
When the scabby Wang and his daughter-in-law Yan looked over again, dizzy and kowtowing, Lin Wanwan pondered for a moment and said in a poor Haicheng dialect: "Boatman, I want to take a boat."
In the middle of the night, a woman in white clothes floated and walked, saying she wanted to take a boat!
Just ask if it’s scary! You can come up with a ghost story in minutes!
Yan immediately fainted from fright, and the mangy dog ran to the stern of the boat tremblingly, trying to row away, but his hands and feet couldn't obey him!
He was obviously going to row to the middle of the lake, but why did the boat just land on the shore!
Now the mangy man became even more panicked. As the boat moved closer to the shore, he collapsed like soft mud.
In fact, it was obvious that the mangy man was in a panic and failed to control the direction of the oar. Deep down in his heart, he felt that he was being controlled by a "ghost", so he naturally moved the boat to the shore on Lin Wanwan's side.
As a result, his fear deepened, and the mangy man was convinced of Lin Wanwan's identity as a female ghost. Now his mind was filled with all kinds of ancient superstitious legends, constantly hinting to himself: "I can't see, I can't see, I can't
Can’t see…”
The old people all say that if you meet a "woman" on the shore on the way, no matter how beautiful she is, you should turn a blind eye, listen but not hear, pretend not to know, and just leave in silence.
The mangy man managed to gather his strength and went to the bow of the boat and dragged his unconscious wife into the cabin. Then he hurried to the boat and planned to row away.
But at this moment, Lin Wanwan, who was restless, jumped directly onto the boat. In the night, the mangy man couldn't breathe.
Under the moonlight, the person in front of me was breathtakingly beautiful. The maniac had traveled all over the country for so many years, but he had never seen such a stunning beauty. Not even the fairies on the murals in the temple looked like this.
Moreover, she was wearing a strange white robe with a black monster beside her. She was flying on the monster just now!
What the hell is this?
The mangy man quickly lowered his head and did not look at Lin Wanwan. He rowed with all his strength and kept saying in his heart: "I'll go, let's go, let's go!"
The old saying goes that all ghosts who die in vain will be sealed in place and unable to leave. As long as he rows the boat farther away, she will definitely disappear.
"Boatman, take me to the big pier." Lin Wanwan watched the man rowing the boat and gave another order.
The little girl who was sleeping in the cabin was awakened by the continuous noise. She opened her eyes and saw clearly Lin Wanwan standing on the bow of the ship through the moonlight.
"Wow, are you a fairy?" The little girl said in a soft and soft voice, and looked at Lin Wanwan with innocent eyes.
Lin Wanwan could actually understand the little girl's words.
The accent of Haicheng a thousand years ago is indeed similar to that of a thousand years later, and even closer to that of Luan County.
In modern Haicheng, one-third of the people moved there from Yongcheng, so the modern dialects of the two places are also very close. In the Tang Dynasty, the two places were connected by water, with frequent exchanges and similar cultures.
In Gangnam Province, villages separated by mountains have different pronunciations for ten miles apart, but in places separated by water, no matter how far away they are, everyone speaks the same dialect.
For example, Wengshan is across the sea from Wanghai Town. It takes a long time to travel by boat, but people in both places actually speak the same dialect.
As for the towns in the northwest of Luan County, it only takes an hour or two to get to Xiaoxi Town, but their dialects are completely different from those in Wanghai Town and Xiaoxi Town.
In other words, in places connected by developed water systems, people communicate more and their languages and cultures are naturally similar; whereas in places with many hills, there is not much communication and each has its own customs and languages.
The little girl was wrapped in a linen cloth whose original color could not be seen. Although she looked sallow and thin, her eyes were very bright, a bit like Lin Wanwan's feeling when she first met Xiao Qingyu.
Feeling pity, Lin Wanwan took out the glass jar filled with chocolate balls from the strawberry cotton bag, leaned down and handed it to the little girl lying in the cabin.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then got out of the sack, nimbly climbed to the bow of the boat, reached out and took the glass jar given by Lin Wanwan, and raised a sweet smile at her.
The moonlight illuminated the little girl's face. It was an immature face of about three or four years old that did not yet understand the sufferings of the world, but was full of optimism and happiness.
Children cannot feel the hardships of adults and the hardships of life. It is a happy thing to live with their parents, even if they are wandering around. She even thinks that home should be on a boat, and everyone will have a boat to call home.
.
Although the people on this boat were poor, they were not hateful and favored boys over girls. You can tell just by looking at the small clothes on the little girl.
In the Tang Dynasty, most children of the age of little girls were naked by July.
"Ahem!" The manly dog swaying the oar at the stern heard the noise and coughed desperately to remind him. Finally, when he saw that the little girl didn't respond, he had to yell with all his heart: "Mom! Go in and sleep!"
The little girl was scolded by her father and pursed her lips a little aggrievedly, but in the end she climbed into the cabin obediently. When she was about to enter, she turned back and waved her hand to Lin Wanwan: "Fairy Queen, I'm going to sleep!"
