Chapter 704: The child comes to deliver the letter
Jiang Yichun protected his mother, stared at everyone with his brain, and said: "Watching innocent people drowned, you have no conscience, don't talk about ghosts and gods!"
"If you can fall into the river on a day like the River God Festival, it must be that the river god wants to accept her, if you dare to rob people with the river god, there will be no good end!" someone took the lead and shouted, "You will bring us bad luck, you guys hurry up and get out of our Linchuan City, get out!"
Many people on the shore shouted, "Get out!"
Bai Ruozhu's body was soaked at the moment, and she shivered when she was blown by the wind, but no matter how cold she was, her heart was not cold at the moment, she glared at everyone and said loudly: "She was not taken in by the river god, she was pushed down the river." ”
The girl was also a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she could feel that she had hit the girl, which caused her to fall into the river, but she never called for help, let alone stood up to explain half a sentence. Judging from her out-of-the-box temperament and large-scale movements, she is not a particularly timid person, so it can only be explained that she did it on purpose.
It's a pity that no one listened to Bai Ruozhu's words, and the onlookers were still scolding her, but the murderer she saw before had long since disappeared.
"Is it that being pushed down the river is also considered that the river god wants to accept people and is not allowed to save them?" Jiang Yichun roared in a low voice, if he wasn't afraid of waking up his son, he would definitely bring internal strength and roar louder.
"If you say yes, I will throw you all into the river, since you believe in the river god, you will be accepted by the river god honestly, and you are not allowed to climb ashore by yourself, so as not to upset the river god!" Jiang Yichun's voice was very cold, and his eyes were extremely sharp, which frightened those people at once, and everyone was quiet for a while, and no one dared to shout half a sentence anymore.
"Ruozhu, let's go back, beware of catching a cold. Jiang Yichun hugged his wife distressedly, and quickly left the river with light work.
When the two of them moved, no one came back to their senses and shouted at them again, telling them to get out of Linchuan City.
When she came back to the inn, Jiang Yichun asked the guy to bring hot water, quickly took off Bai Ruozhu's wet clothes, and helped her wipe her body with hot water, and then changed her into dry and obscene clothes. During this period, his heart warmed up several times, but when he saw that Bai Ruozhu was frowning and had no thoughts at all, he suppressed the desire in his heart.
"Ah Chun, it's all my fault for being nosy, you see that the little girl's family didn't thank me for anything. Bai Ruozhu said with some frustration.
Jiang Yichun helped her dry her hair, and said softly: "No matter what they say, it's good that you are not ashamed of yourself, and you don't have any trouble, as long as you don't feel ashamed for a long time because you don't save someone." ”
Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but think of her previous life, when she and a classmate met an old man begging outside, but the old man didn't look like the kind of person who was really struggling to live, but her classmate still gave the old man a few yuan. You must know that they were all students at that time, and they didn't have any spare money at all. She asked her classmates puzzled, "Aren't you afraid of being deceived?"
She still remembers her classmate's answer very clearly, she said: "Lying to me is just a loss of a few yuan, but if I don't help her, and I am worried that she is really in trouble, but will always be sad and guilty, then why should I make myself uncomfortable for a few yuan? ”
Thinking about it now, even if she is scolded, she at least changes her peace of mind, otherwise she will not be at ease in her life when she sees a fresh life gone.
It's a pity that Bai Ruozhu underestimated the superstition of the people of Linchuan City, and I don't know how they knew about the inn where she lived, and at noon the next day, someone gathered at the door of the inn and shouted for the woman who broke the rules yesterday to get out of Linchuan City.
Soon many people knew about it, and they also shouted outside the inn, pedaling before taking a nap, listening to the sound of Qi brushing was very curious, babbling, as if asking his mother: What are they shouting?
Pedaling is now able to sit very steadily, he seems to like this posture very much, this will be sitting on the bed playing rattle, he is shaking a particularly rhythmic sense, when the outside people shout, he will shake up, outside a stop, he also stopped, just like this tired play, and giggle a few times from time to time.
"Two guest officers, you shouldn't go to the river to save people, look at the trouble now, the business of the small shop can't be done. The shopkeeper's tone is not very bad, but there is such a commotion outside, who would dare to enter the hotel to stay?
Jiang Yichun opened the door, gave him thirty taels of silver, and said, "This is to compensate for the loss of your store, we will stay for two more days at most and leave." ”
"Then thank you for the reward. The shopkeeper was not polite, but took the money, and said, "You can just close the windows and ignore them, but you must be careful when you go out, for you know what these people will do." Alas, it's really crazy, I heard that the girl was caught today and was going to drown in the river, saying that she was going to give someone to the river god. ”
Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but get up, looked at the shopkeeper outside the door and asked, "How is the girl now?"
said that her father was making trouble and stopped her, and she went to the government to report to the official, and the government dispatched people to stop her. The shopkeeper probably has more contact with outsiders, and his thoughts are not as superstitious as ordinary people, he sighed again, and said: "I wonder who deliberately instigated this, if the river lantern is pushed into the water, you will die, then no one can let the child put the river lantern in the future, and the adult can't go, otherwise if you have a grudge against someone, you will push it, not to kill people?"
"I don't think it's aimed at us, I'm afraid that the deliberate person is playing tricks, and the girl who fell into the water doesn't know who she offended, she suffered such a crime at a young age, it's really pitiful. Bai Ruozhu also sighed.
The shopkeeper shook his head, "I hope the eldest master in the yamen will quickly find out about this matter." With that, he withdrew.
Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun didn't have the heart to care about other people's affairs now, they didn't think much about it, they only worried about the news of the old man Shou Gu. In the evening, a child squeezed in from outside the crowd and said to the shopkeeper, "I am looking for a beautiful sister with a child, and I have been asked to deliver a letter to her." ”
The shopkeeper was afraid of the outsiders cheating, and he didn't dare to let the child go to them, so he went to the room first and passed the word, Jiang Yichun frowned when he heard it, and said, "Bring the child up." ”
Bai Ruozhu put the pedal on the inside of the bed to play, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, she had a feeling that eighty percent of the people who came were related to the old man Shou Gu.
The child looked to be eight or nine years old, and when he entered the house, he exclaimed, "An old man called me to the inn to find my beautiful sister who had a child, and asked if you were carrying a plant?"
