Smiling again, Lian Ge took another skewer and handed it to the little white mouse.
He picked up the chopsticks again and ate the dishes on the table.
Chapter 1025 July Half
"...hum, bang..."
"...After crossing the Yangtze River, Fengdu City is on the opposite side."
An old ferry crosses the Yangtze River with the sound of working wheels,
The slightly turbulent river surface was cut by the ferry, and some white waves rolled up from time to time.
The surface paint of some old ferries has fallen off a little, with some mottled rust, slowly moving forward on the river.
On the ferry, the passengers sitting were a little crowded, and the covered shed on the top of the ferry could barely block some of the scorching sunlight from the empty sun overhead,
Leaning in front of the ferry, a middle-aged man who drove the ferry, wearing shorts and sandals, was holding on to the railing on the boat next to him, introducing loudly.
"...We are now on the Yangtze River. The place we go in front of the boat is Fengdu Ghost City Scenic Area. On the north bank of the Yangtze River, behind us is Fengdu New County..."
The voice of the middle-aged man shouted was overwhelmed by the sound of the ferry boat, barely resounding on the boat.
……
Leaning on this ferry, leaning on a seat beside the boat, Lian Ge is sitting,
Listening to the sounds brought by the wind with some water vapor blowing from time to time on the river,
Lian Ge casually looked at the scene on both sides of the river along the ferry, and the slightly crowded tourists sitting on the ferry.
On the shoulders, the little white mouse with its forelimbs turned its head from time to time, looking around.
It has been a while since I left the bustling city before.
Along the way, one person and one mouse passed through some towns and villages,
I met some things, saw some people, saw some good and evil.
Either stay with others, or simply sleep in the open.
When I saw the rolling Yangtze River earlier, I simply followed the example before and found a piece of driftwood.
I went down the river, pillowed on the surface of the driftwood, and slept all night watching the stars at night.
This morning, the driftwood came to the bank with the river, and I saw the old city of Fengdu on the opposite side of the river.
Then I randomly chose a ferry on the shore and got on it, and went here.
……
"...Mom, are there ghosts in Fengdu? Would it be scary..."
On the ferry, most of the crowded tourists had smiles on their faces.
Although it was noon, with the sun above the head and the crowds of people on the boat, some of them were very hot, but most of them still seemed a little bit interested,
From time to time, someone wiped the sweat from their foreheads, randomly holding the leaflets that they did not know when they received them, and fanned the wind with the tickets they bought on the boat before, then raised their heads, looked towards the bow of the boat, and looked towards the opposite shore. .
Or when a family travels, the child stands in front of his parents, supports his parents' legs, puts his feet on his feet to stand taller, looks curiously towards the other side, and then turns back to ask his parents,
Or with their hands in the wind, turning their heads from time to time, talking to each other in twos and threes.
"...Why, is baby scared?"
"……A little."
"...Don't be afraid. As long as the baby doesn't do bad things, there will be no ghosts to scare the baby."
"Oh……"
Not far from Lian Ge, a couple with a child laughed and coaxed their child, and said aloud,
Listening to what his parents said, the child answered, lowered his head, and seemed a little preoccupied.
"...Mom, why don't we go back... let's not go..."
The child raised his head again, pursing his lips and talking to his parents.
"...Why, what did the baby do badly..."
The couple couldn't help laughing, and with a tighter smile, they asked their children,
"... I secretly ate ice cream... I also ate a piece of chocolate... Is this a bad thing?"
The child looked at his parents nervously.
"...Well, it's a bad thing... But this time, Uncle Ghost will forgive you, because the baby has bravely admitted his mistake, and it won't work next time, you know?"
"...Then can I have the courage to admit my mistakes next time?"
……
"...Looking at the picture above, it's quite interesting..."
"...Next time it's so hot, I won't come out if I'm killed..."
"...I heard that the temple on the mountain is quite effective, why don't we go to burn incense sticks later... Forget it, let's not bother..."
"...Hey, young man, this is burning incense for Bodhisattvas and gods. You have to burn it after talking about it. There are still people who go back on their word..."
On the boat, the crowded tourists were talking, although most of them lowered their voices,
Mixed with the sound of the turn of the plane, and the crowd of tourists shouting loudly, introducing the shouts of the ferry staff,
Even more noisy and lively.
"...Everyone came at the right time. In two days, it will be the Ghost Festival. It is commonly known as July and a half. It is the Ghost Festival... Our unique ghost culture here will also hold activities at that time. If everyone Stay with us for a day or two and you can see it... If you need accommodation, you can register directly with us, it is in Fengdu, the main inn with special ghost culture, there will be a special car to pick you up when you disembark..."
……
Listening to some noisy voices and voices in my ears,
Lian Ge glanced at the crowded tourists on the ferry,
Turning his gaze a little further, he looked at the river outside the ferry,
On the surface of the river, reflecting the sunlight swaying by the sun in the sky, the water is rippling and sparkling,
Turn up some white waves from time to time.
Or it is just around the time of the Ghost Festival, and there are more tourists going to Fengdu,
On the river, you can see many large or small ferries carrying tourists in the distance.
With the gusts of wind blowing, there was the sound of some aircraft wheels, mixed with the sound of the tumbling water on the river.
Looking at the river,
Lian Ge turned his gaze a little further, and looked at the opposite bank in the direction of the ferry.
On the other side is Fengdu,
But it's just an ancient town on the north bank of the Yangtze River, a scenic spot in the mountain city.
Close to the river bank, it is considered a ferry, and there are some ferry boats parked. From time to time, there are boats full of tourists, sailing in and out.
Beyond the river bank, in the distance, some undulating mountains can be seen,
You can see the waist of the mountain, the top of the peak, the corner of some buildings, or some temples, or some Taoist temples.
Some tourists on the shore are bustling, following the road, or going to the mountain, or going elsewhere.
……
"...After we go ashore, where should we go first, to see the stone carvings, or..."
"...Actually, you can go and see that newly built Ghost Palace..."
The old man sitting next to Lian Ge seemed to be listening to the words of the two tourists next to him, he laughed and said aloud,
The tourists next to him listened to the old man's conversation, turned their heads, and also chatted with a smile,
"The old man is from nearby?"
"...No, I used to live in Fengdu County, and then I moved to the south bank...Famous mountains in Fengdu are actually not too much to see...The ghost palace that was newly built later, it's magnificent. ...It's a big one, it has several scenes built, and there are often some activities, so it's interesting to watch..."
"...The old man also played in the past?"
"...What are you playing? Isn't it July and a half? People from our place have moved here, and the old graves are still there. I'll go to pay my respects to my ancestors."
The old man responded with a smile, and lifted the bag of joss stick paper money in his hand.
Listening to the voices of the old man sitting next to him and the tourists next to him, Lian Ge turned his gaze away,
Looking at the tourists on the boat who were either in high spirits or wiping their sweat,
Turning his gaze a little further, he looked towards the bow of the ship and the direction of the shore,
"...Everyone, don't get up in a hurry, we will be there soon..."
As the middle-aged man driving the ferry yelled again, the boat gradually slowed down a bit,
The ferry that has gradually approached the shore.
Chapter 1026 Asking God
"...It's here, it's here...don't panic..."
Along with the other ferry boats coming from the river, the ferry carrying some tourists approached the shore ferry,
The man who sailed the boat stood up and threw down the rope to the shore. The man on the shore helped to tie the rope to the shore, and took a wider plank.
From the shore to the boat that is already close to the shore.
The man who drove the boat walked over, opened the railings on the side of the ferry, and greeted the tourists who had already got up one after another and crowded in the aisle between the seats,
One by one, the tourists stood by their seats, held their orange life jackets, and talked a few words with their acquaintances.
Or they have already put their feet on their feet and looked towards the shore.
"...Mom, Fengdu, Fengdu...and temples...houses..."
There was a child in his mother's arms, looking up at the shore and the distant mountain peaks, pointing and shouting excitedly.
The adults also smiled, and whispered a few words to each other in response to their children's words.
"...Don't panic, get off one by one, register those who want to stay in the hotel, get off the ship and head over there..."
"...Don't worry, get down one by one, everyone is out for a trip, come safely, go safely, don't crowd..."
"...Go to the famous mountain, go to the top of the mountain, go to the ghost king stone carving, go there... There are roadsides at the intersections, and there are scenic spots..."
Before the ferry, the staff member who opened the side railing of the ship moved away, raised his head, and greeted again,
The greetings of the staff, mixed with the sound of cruise ships leaving and entering the port from time to time at the ferry, and the voices of the bustling pedestrians on the shore,
On the ferry, tourists who took off their life jackets slowly crowded forward and went down the boat.
Sitting in the back row of the ferry,
Watching the crowded tourists get off the ship one after another,
Lian Ge stood up, walked behind the tourists, and got off the boat.
……
"...Which way should we go? Go first..."
"...Sir...Ma'am...Need an explanation or not..."
"...Do you take a car, go directly to the scenic spot, ten yuan per person..."
On the shore, out of this pier.
The road next to the river became more and more lively.
Tourists who came out of the pier to disembark, some pedestrians coming from other directions,
Bustling, shoulder to shoulder.
