CHAPTER XXIX

Hey, why did these people who were repairing the embankment pick up their tools and hit He Ziyi and the others?! He was still scolding: "We have been pulled to repair the embankment since the first month, and we have to add another group, don't do the work at home?" "Still looking for an official? Bah! Do you want to ask the official to make trouble with us? "The river comes out when it's full, and it doesn't matter what you hit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Spring ploughing is wrong, I don't have to eat this year, who cares about the rice? "These two strangers are here to beg for a beating!" "Beat them to deathβ€”"

This group of people is really round and wants to be beaten! Zheng Defu didn't dare to fight, he copied his hand, carried He Ziyi on his shoulder, and strode away, fortunately, his feet were strong, and he escaped after a while, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Count our fate-" Turning his head and seeing He Ziyi, he was suddenly startled. What's going on with you? It turned out that He Ziyi was picked up by him and carried to his shoulders, his stomach pressed against his shoulder blades, and he ran all the way to the bumpy, foaming at the mouth and unable to speak! Zheng Defu was very panicked, saw a wooden house in front of him, and hurriedly went over to ask for a bowl of water to drink.

There was only a little old man in the big wooden house, and he welcomed them into the room very warmly. He Ziyi drank a few sips of hot soup, and just after relieving a little strength, there was a loud noise outside, and the gang of river repairers chased after him!

Zheng Defu was shocked and suspicious: You said that passers-by said the wrong sentence, just pretend to hit it twice, as for being so desperate? The old man also showed a confused expression: "This is ......" He Ziyi, who had just recovered his strength, rolled his eyes and knelt on the ground: "Help, old man!" ”

The old man asked strangely, "You called for help?" He Ziyi nodded and replied, "Not bad." This gang is a bandit who has been chasing us all the way here. I--I am actually the one who was exiled here after the great calamity of the capital. Oh, this is my bodyguard. So please save us, and if the robbers knock on the door, say they haven't seen us! ”

It turned out that he was afraid that the old man would hand them over to the group of river guards, so he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and first told a lie to save his life. Zheng Defu's cold sweat was about to flow down again, and He Ziyi stepped on him and didn't allow him to speak. The old man looked at them, his eyes flashed and flashed, and he said with a smile: "Okay, the prince can trust the little old man, please hide in the cabinet, there is a little old man to deal with." ”

There was really a big cabinet in the corner of the house, and He Ziyi and the two hid in it, and there were dirty shovels and hemp ropes or something, which made people very uncomfortable, but they couldn't take care of it. The group of river workers had already shouted to the door, the old man went to open the door, and the river workers opened their mouths: "Nine Abba, we met two stunned boys today, and I will tell you later--starving to death, is dinner ready?" ”

Oh my God, it turns out that this house is a temporary dormitory for the river workers, and the old man is left behind, and the river workers are back for dinner! He Ziyi and the others were dumbfounded. The old man said happily: "Don't worry about dinner yet, I'll catch these two turtles in the cabinet." You guys surround him, and let's judge him after he is loyal! ”

The cabinet door opened, and He Ziyi stepped out hard: "Old Abba, in fact, it's not a lie...... the river workers immediately glared. Zheng Defu was so frightened that he stepped forward: "I'll talk about it!" Uncle. In fact, we came here to see what happened to the Yellow River, and there was no other meaning...... "Yes, yes, yes!" He Ziyi grabbed it and said, "My uncle hoped that the imperial court would care more about the people of the Yellow River, but he was framed and imprisoned by traitors, so I sneaked here quietly and wanted to check on the spot." Since you are river workers, don't hit the wrong person! ”

The river workers looked at each other, and the old man's cigarette stick fell down with a "horn click", and stammered: "You...... You...... This son...... Is that true? He Ziyi nodded vigorously. The old man looked at Zheng Defu again, and Zheng Defu had no choice but to blush and nodded: "Hmm." I'm really him, Childe's bodyguard. ”

"Hula"! The old man led the river workers, and the black pressure knelt down on the ground! Zheng Defu was startled: "Hey, what are you doing here-" "Childe, save us!" The old man shouted, and took out an old roll of paper from his bosom, "Over the years, the riverbed has become higher and higher, and the river course has changed in many places, and the construction of the embankment cannot catch up at all, and sooner or later something will happen." But we told the officials here that they either scolded us for talking nonsense, or took the opportunity to increase the burden of forced labor. We can't do anything, we can only mix here for a day, and now that Childe is here, please find a way to save us. This is the river map drawn by the old child for so many years, please take a look! ”

He Ziyi took the map in such a daze. The river workers served them a supper with the best food, and the oil lamps were turned on to the brightest, and the old man, who turned out to be the oldest river worker here, known as the Ninth Abba, could not wait to explain the river map to He Ziyi.

The more Zheng Defu listened, the more fascinated he became, but He Ziyi didn't quite understand the accent of the villagers by the Yellow River, and the more he listened, the heavier his head became. Seeing that he was tired, Abba Jiu got up and poured a bowl of water, and when he looked back, He Ziyi had already fallen on the table!

This is not a simple sleep, his face is red and his forehead is hot, probably suffering on the way, a little feverish. Nine Abba and they were busy taking care of him to sleep, and they were so anxious: "What can I do about this?" ”

Zheng Defu froze: "That's it, the son is not a serious illness, you can leave one or two experienced people to take care of it." And I went with Abba Jiu to survey the river, and then told him about the situation when my son got better, how about it? Everyone applauded, and the matter was settled.

The next day, He Ziyi was lying on the wooden bed alone, his whole body was chills, his headache was about to explode, and the two rough people who stayed to take care of him would only decoct bitter medicine for him to drink, and then stared at him at a loss, he was so angry that he drove the two of them out of the door, but he regretted it again, and was about to call someone back, when he heard a sweet voice in his ear: "Engong, did you call me?" ”

He Ziyi was still ringing in his ears, barely propped up his eyelids to take a look, and was suddenly stunned: God, a snow-white fox has sat at the head of the bed at some point, standing up straight like a human, and is calling him in a soft voice!

"You, you, you, can you talk?" He Ziyi stammered. "Yes, our fox immortals absorb the essence of the moon spirit and cultivate a thousand-year-old Dao line, what's so strange about how many words can we say?" The white fox flicked his tail back and forth, "Engong helped the little one escape the catastrophe of fate, can this grace, the little one not repay it?" ”

"Oh-that's good. Are you here to help me? He Ziyi asked. The white fox snorted in his nose, as if he was sneering, and said in a long voice: "Engong...... What is this little illness and pain? The small ones can help you escape the catastrophe and seek great wealth! ”

"What catastrophe?" He Ziyi was surprised. The white fox replied softly, "This is your current friend, Mr. Dev." He is detrimental to your future, will make you sick, and ruin your reputation. The little one can't bear to see Eun Gong fall into such a fate, so he comes to save you. ”

"What? Dev is my good friend, how can he hurt me?! Besides, I'm gone, what if I leave him here alone! He Ziyi was shocked, "No wonder he said you are a demon." Have you come to slander me? ”

"Childe, who are you talking to?" The riverworker outside the door asked timidly. Before He Ziyi could answer, the fox's big fluffy tail swept across his face, and He Ziyi suddenly found that his bones were no longer painful, his muscles were not sore, his stomach was no longer overturning, and his whole body was more comfortable than when he was not sick before. Hey, could it be that this fox really has some magical powers, and he can cure people with a flick of his tail?

The white fox stared at He Ziyi with a smile in his black eyes, as if to say: Don't you believe in my ability? He Ziyi's heart was suddenly confused. The two river workers outside the door saw that He Ziyi did not answer for a long time, and were about to break down the door, when they suddenly heard a voice saying, "Don't come in, I'...... I want to get some sleep. They didn't dare to enter the door, and it wasn't until the afternoon when they delivered food that they found that the bed was empty, and there was only a note left on the bed: "I'll go to Jingshi first, please tell Defu." "How can these two read? I was scared half to death, and I couldn't guess how people disappeared.

They couldn't hide this kind of thing, so they ran to the river, pulled Abba aside, and whispered about it. Jiu Abba's face is like earth: He Ziyi, the "noble son from Beijing", suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye, even if he left a note, it is difficult to guarantee that he was not hijacked by some enemy, can Zheng Defu, the "guard", spare them? Fortunately, it was the old Jianghu, who frowned and took it to heart, avoiding Zheng Defu and secretly arranging them.

Zheng Defu went back tired this night, and Abba Jiu was silent, and suddenly couldn't help muttering: "Lord Zheng, everything the old child can do is here." I wish Lord Zheng good luck in the future. I hope that the people of the Yellow River will be able to survive in the future. Zheng Defu was very strange, and was about to ask why, when he suddenly saw a blazing fire, and the wooden house was on fire! He was frightened, hurriedly ran over, just ran a few steps, found that something was wrong, and when he looked back, the nine abba who had been following him were gone.

The ravines here are connected and the terrain is complicated, Zheng Defu didn't dare to look around, so he could only walk to the burning wooden house first, and saw a note on the ground eye-catching, which was the sentence left by He Ziyi, "I'll go to Jingshi first." ”

What's going on? It turned out that the river workers were afraid of causing trouble, so they set fire to the wooden house first, took advantage of Zheng Defu's unpreparedness, took advantage of the terrain to sneak away, and left a note to show him, so that Zheng Defu, the "guard", felt that the situation was urgent, and hurriedly chased after the master, and they went back to the township to avoid the limelight first.

How did Zheng Defu come up with this? Standing on the ground for a long time, he suddenly patted his head and said, "I understand!" In the play, it is said that the gods show people the way, and after pointing out, they turn into a ball of fire and disappear, and this group of people must have been sent to me by the gods. And Ziyi must have borrowed their immortal power to send them to Bianjing to prepare for the exam! The more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became, knelt down and kowtowed three times, vowing to do things for the people of the Yellow River in the future and live up to this map.
