Chapter 74
And I quickly learned this rumor and allusion that I had never heard of from their chatter.
It turns out that this ghost boat on the Yellow River has been around for more than a thousand years, and it is said that the ghost boat is actually very unusual. It is a dragon boat owned by a former emperor.
In the early period, this emperor could be said to be a master of great talents and great strategies, but in the later period, he lacked debauchery and excessiveness, which led to the change of ownership.
In order to leave behind descendants and continue his own bloodline, the emperor asked someone to take the prince with him on a dragon boat to avoid being pursued by the enemy.
The dragon boat fled from south to north. After entering the Yellow River, it was intercepted by the enemy. All the guards on board were massacred.
As for the infant prince, he also did not escape the fate of being killed, and was actually thrown to death.
Later, the dragon boat was burned to the ground.
But since then, there have been more ghost ships on the Yellow River. Over the course of thousands of years, they have appeared from time to time on certain days or under certain circumstances.
Whenever a ghost ship appears on the Yellow River, it will be difficult for the boats and rafts on the river to move at all.
As long as the ghost ship passes by, someone will inevitably be cursed, and they will die without any illness after a period of time.
But it is said that he was seduced by the ghost ship and wanted to go to the ghost ship.
This is because these ghosts are needed to nourish the soul of the prince and prolong his life.
The purpose is to make this prince live again.
And when the prince comes to life again, he will be sent back to the earth.
This is also the origin of the "ghost ship delivering children".
"If what Ma Ling said is true, then this devil will really be sent out!"
At this time, Old Man Xu said in a deep voice.
"Then it seems that we really need to start from now on to break our curse. Fortunately, we have some clues."
The eldest brother also said it a little helplessly.
"Master, if there really is such a devil, if this news leaks out, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble!"
Bai Kun said this.
I looked at Bai Kun, and the discoverer guy was actually a little excited, not as worried as he said.
"Just mind your own business."
As a result, old man Xu said this directly to Bai Kun.
Sure enough, after Mr. Xu said these words, I saw Bai Kun looking sarcastic and didn't dare to say anything more.
"It's getting late, I'm going back first. Regarding the 'ghost official seal' thing, let's split up and inquire about it to see if we can find this ghost."
At this time, Ma Ling suddenly stood up and said.
After hearing what she said, I quickly stood up.
"Master Xu Du, there is no need for you to get up. Take a good rest. I will come back to see you later."
When Ma Ling saw old man Xu standing up, he immediately walked over and said with a smile.
"Son, say thank you to your grandma for me."
Old man Xu said to Ma Ling.
"Master Xu Du, don't worry, I will bring the message to grandma."
Ma Ling nodded and agreed.
Then, Ma Ling said goodbye to us all and walked straight outside.
My eldest brother and I took Ma Ling to the entrance of the hospital.
"If anything happens, let's call you directly. This is my mobile phone number."
Ma Ling said to me again with a smile.
I took the note paper with my mobile phone number from her hand, and a sweet fragrance flowed down my nose, which was really refreshing.
I also remembered that Ma Ling was writing something at his desk with a pen before. It turned out to be a mobile phone number.
"Okay, you two talk, I'll go back first."
The eldest brother said to me and Ma Ling.
However, I found that when my eldest brother looked at me, he was winking, completely losing his usual formality.
Of course I understand what eldest brother means, and he must have noticed that I have a crush on Ma Ling.
Therefore, he is the one who behaves like this.
I gave my elder brother an angry look.
"Then don't you need me to send you off?"
Then, I looked at Ma Ling and asked.
Ma Ling stared at me with a half-smile but said, "No, you can come to my house when you have time. My grandma will definitely be very happy to see you."
"Okay, I'll come over."
I agreed immediately.
"Let's go! Remember to contact us!"
Ma Ling turned around and said coolly, then raised his arm and waved.
I watched Ma Ling's figure disappear on the road at the entrance of the village, then turned around reluctantly and walked into the room.
However, when I just walked to the door, I heard the sound of talking and laughing coming from inside the house.
This is completely different from the previous atmosphere.
Earlier, the atmosphere in the room was solemn, all because of the ghost ship on the Yellow River and the "ghost official seal" thing.
And I soon heard what my elder brother and old man Xu said. They were actually making fun of Ma Ling and me.
Even this guy Bai Kun actually talked about me and Ma Ling again.
I immediately stepped up my steps and walked into the room.
Sure enough, the chatter and laughter in the room suddenly stopped at this time.
"Why didn't you send Ma Ling back in person?"
As a result, as soon as I entered, my elder brother said this.
"This kid is so stupid, he can't compare to your father and you, the eldest brother!"
Old man Xu also spoke immediately.
Even when Bai Kun looked at me, he had an expression like, "Why are you so stupid?"
The eldest brother shook his head and sighed: "I created such a good opportunity for you, but you don't even know how to grasp it. I really doubt whether you are my biological brother!"
"Brother, Ma Ling said she didn't need to give it to me."
I immediately started to defend myself.
But what I got in exchange was a big eye roll from my elder brother, and old man Xu shook his head and started crying and laughing.
"Brother Shuilong, you really don't understand women's hearts. If Ma Ling said no, you really wouldn't give it away."
And Bai Kun actually said such a sentence.
It was only then that I realized it later, and it suddenly dawned on me.
Now, I don't have any regrets in my heart.
When I sat back on the sofa, I was still blaming myself. I was really an idiot.
However, after this little episode, the solemn and dull atmosphere earlier was finally broken.
After another ten minutes, the four of us men had arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Bai Kun and I won't stay for dinner. Just let your elder brother take us two back."
Old Man Xu said to me with a smile after I asked him to stay for dinner.
"Shuilong, let's have more contact in the future!"
Bai Kun also said to me at this time.
I smiled and nodded and said to him, "That's for sure!"
"Then I'll start the train."
