Bai Ruozhu's family of three went all the way south, Jiang Yichun sat in the car with his wife and children, this was the first time for a family of three to travel, but unfortunately there was no pleasant atmosphere of travel at all, except for carefree pedaling, the other two have been suffering from a bitter face.

"It's okay, let's not scare the kids like that. Jiang Yichun took Bai Ruozhu's hand and persuaded.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but sigh again, "I hope to find the old man Shou Gu as much as possible, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well." ”

Jiang Yichun hugged the pedaling with one hand and the lady with the other, forced out a smile, and said, "It's going to be okay, fortunately, we found it in time, and thanks to the little furball that the old man Shou Gu gave you." ”

"Yes, I must thank him this time. Bai Ruozhu said.

When it was time for lunch, the group found a small shop to eat some simple meals, and soon a guard came to report that the old man Shou Gu had gone to Linchuan City further south, but they had already sent someone to carry the letter and ask the old man Shou Gu to wait for them in Linchuan City.

Jiang Yichun listened to three or two bites of food, and asked the store to pack a lot of food, and said to Bai Ruozhu: "Let's eat some dry food for dinner, and then sharpen it when it gets dark, so as to speed up the speed." ”

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Okay, I'll eat it right away." ”

She is not slow to eat, and mainly feeds egg yolk and millet porridge to the pedal.

For the next three days, the family was so nervous that they finally arrived at Linchuan City in the evening of the third day.

Linchuan City stands near the river, so it took this name, when Bai Ruozhu's family of three entered the city, it was their annual River God Festival, and many people put lotus lanterns by the river, which was very lively.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun were very tired, but they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and after meeting with Jiang Yichun's subordinates, they went directly to the place where the old man Shou Gu lived, but when they arrived at the place, the old man Shou Gu was gone, and no one knew when he left.

"How can this be? What about the old man Shou Gu? Didn't you tell him that we were waiting for help?" Jiang Yichun became angry directly and yelled at his subordinates.

A black-clothed hand lowered his head and said, "It's the subordinates who are derelict in their duties, and they didn't find out that the old man Shou Gu left." ”

Bai Ruozhu was also worried in her heart, but soon she calmed down, pulled Jiang Yichun's sleeve, and said, "The old-timer knew that we were coming, and he left suddenly, I'm afraid that he either encountered something extremely dangerous, or there was really an imminent emergency." He left without leaving a message, and it is very likely that he is being hunted down. ”

"You're right, now I can only send someone to look for it, and we will stay in Linchuan City for the time being, if he escapes, he will come to us. Jiang Yichun said.

The shopkeeper was an enthusiastic middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you are from other places, you must not know that today is the day when we worship the river god, right? I tell you, our river god can be effective, if there is any trouble, write it into the river lantern, if the river lantern floats out smoothly, your wish will definitely come true, you must try it tonight." ”

Bai Ruozhu was worried about pedaling, how could he have any intention of putting river lanterns, but Jiang Yichun was a little tempted, and asked, "Where can I buy river lanterns?"

"There are those sold by the river, you must go early, otherwise they will be sold out. The shopkeeper said.

The two of them entered the room, and they were tired from pedaling for the past few days, and they had fallen asleep in Bai Ruozhu's arms. Jiang Yichun glanced at his son, and said with some distress: "Let's go and release the river lantern, whether it is really fulfilled or not, it is good to pray for my son." ”

Bai Ruozhu is a modern person and doesn't believe much in this, but she knows that this is Jiang Yichun's ancient way of praying for children. She thought about it again, and she thought that she had crossed over, and that there might really be a god in the underworld, or even more than one.

"Okay, let's go now. She said, getting up.

"I'll hold the child, these **** are also tired. Jiang Yichun took the sleeping pedal and hugged it in his arms.

A family of three went to the river, bought a river lantern according to the shopkeeper's words, wrote in it the wish for a speedy recovery, and then carefully put the river lantern into the water, watching the river lantern follow the rest of the river lantern drifted away, both of them were greatly relieved.

Sometimes people need a spiritual sustenance.

"Maybe I'll be able to find Old Man Shou Gu tomorrow. Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Well, maybe he will come to us by himself." ”

As she spoke, her gaze fell into the distance, and suddenly her eyes narrowed slightly, and a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old in the distance leaned forward a lot in order to better put the river lantern, and the skirt hanging in front of her was soaked by the river. The person next to her said something because of excitement, and accidentally touched her, and the little girl's center of gravity was unstable and shook her body, and her feet also slipped, and she fell into the river at once.

"Someone has fallen into the water over there, let's go and take a look!" Bai Ruozhu said anxiously, this big night, the neighborhood is noisy, if no one notices, the little girl is afraid that she will be drowned.

Bai Ruozhu ran to the place where the girl fell into the water, Jiang Yichun hugged the child and called her, "Be careful, you came to hold the child, I will save people." ”

"No, I know how to water!" Bai Ruozhu jumped into the river without looking back, swimming towards the place where the girl was fluttering.

In an instant, she thought of a lot, for example, if she went to hug the child, Jiang Yichun might not be too late to go into the water again. also thought that the other party was a girl, if she was rescued by a man and hugged ashore, I was afraid that she would not want to marry in the future, she didn't want to make trouble to save people, so she simply saved herself.

Soon she caught the girl, the girl didn't know how to water at all, so she was fluttering farther and farther from the shore, Bai Ruozhu was afraid that she would be in danger to both of them by pulling around, so she simply knocked her unconscious, and then dragged the person to the shore.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered on the shore, and someone shouted, "Someone has fallen into the water, someone has fallen into the water, let's see whose little girl it is!"

A woman rushed over, hugged the little girl and cried, "My Yu'er, you can't be fine, it's all because I didn't look at you." ”

Bai Ruozhu pulled the woman away and said, "Don't affect me to save people!"

She began to give Yu'er first aid, but someone next to her shouted, "How can you save her?

Bai Ruozhu let Yu'er spit out the water, and gave her acupuncture to wake her up as much as possible, and she didn't have time to pay attention to what the people next to her said, and when she woke up Yu'er, she noticed that the people next to her were pointing at her and scolding, saying that she had broken the rules of the river god, and she dared to save the river god if she wanted to catch the virgin, which angered the river god, and the whole city would be unlucky.
