Chapter 14: Breath in the Water
The village head, Li Hammerzhu's house.
The third uncle came to his house and told the villagers their ambitions.
Li Hammerzhu and his lover sat on the stool, listening to the words of the third uncle, sometimes frowning, sometimes thinking, sometimes smiling wryly, and more helplessly.
Three years ago, everyone fled here.
He was also elected village chief because he had a map in his hand.
This map is not an ordinary map, but a key, the key to get out of the Goutou Mountains.
But it's not enough to have that map, you have to open it yourself with the person who owns it. Now, this key, who has settled down, has been used by him to exchange with the Tun Wenhui family, filling his pockets in exchange for the current comfortable life. He thought that only he and Tun Wenhui knew about this, but now, listening to the words of the three lames, I am afraid that he already knew about it.
Li Zhuzhu said: "Third brother, what do you say! To contribute to the villagers and seek welfare, I am in his position, and it is my duty to do so. But the stakes are high, and we need to report it to the higher-ups!"
"Don't talk about Crow Village, the entire Goutou Mountain Range has become an ownerless place, what have you done, do you need me to say it, or tell everyone?" The third uncle stared at him, showing no mercy.
"Third brother. ”
"Okay, I'll just say that you deserve to cooperate?" The third uncle stared at Li Hammerzhu with cold eyes, and his voice was as cold as a blade.
"Okay, third brother, I'll cooperate. ”
......
......
Qingshui River, the willows stand on the riverside, and the river is sparkling.
Song Xiaopeng took a fishing net and sack in his hand, jumped into the river, and fell into the river.
Instead of going up to the mountains to hunt and chop wood, he ran to the river to catch fish, and now he has just acquired the skill of collecting water and rest, which Song Xiaopeng intends to use to make a living.
Willow on the shore.
Luo Sui looked anxiously at the river.
Although Song Xiaopeng told her that he was good at water, could hold his breath, and could stay in the water for half an hour without any problem, but now, he has been diving into the river for more than half an hour.
The third uncle came out of the house of the village chief Li Hammerzhu and brought a few villagers to come, intending to tell Song Xiaopeng about the matter of getting Li Hammerzhu.
It's just that a few people came to Song Xiaopeng's house, but they found that no one was at home.
Unexpectedly, when he walked out of Song Xiaopeng's house, he saw Luo Sui wandering on the willow bank on the bank of the Qingshui River.
The third uncle couldn't help frowning.
I thought to myself what this girl was doing on the riverbank, but Xiao Peng kicked her out.
Came to the riverside.
From afar, the third uncle shouted: "Xiao Sui, why are you here alone, did Xiao Peng's kid make you angry?"
"Ah, Uncle San, how did you come here. Luo Sui looked anxiously at the river, Sanbo and the others came, she didn't find it, heard the sound, looked back, and found that Sanbo walked over with a cane and two villagers, "Brother Xiaopeng didn't make me angry, he caught fish in the river." ”
"What??," Sanbo was startled, "What about people, how long have you been down?"
"Uncle San, it's been more than half an hour. ”
"More than half an hour, so long!" "The third uncle froze in place, staring blankly at the river, "Nonsense, it's just nonsense!"
"Uncle San, don't worry, Brother Xiao Peng is good at water. Although Luo Sui was also worried, in order to comfort the third uncle, she could only dissuade Song Xiaopeng, and Song Xiaopeng said what she said.
"Xiaopeng, this kid, is not so assertive in doing things. Since he dares to go down, it means that he is sure, don't forget, our watery Luo Sui girl was rescued by Xiaopeng. The villagers who came with Sanbo followed Luo Sui's words.
After listening to Luo Sui's words, the third uncle's worried expression eased a lot.
However, the eyes did not leave the river for a moment.
Waiting is worrying and tormenting.
Ten minutes passed slowly.
The third uncle was in a hurry.
Luo Sui himself was also anxious, and his heart was full of thoughts.
The two villagers who followed Sanbo were also anxious, they had received the favor of Song Xiaopeng's brothers and sisters in the past.
The water is good, you can hold your breath, and you also need to come out of the water from time to time to breathe!
But now more than ten minutes have passed.
Not to mention the head popping out of the water to breathe, and there is not even a ghost in it.
You must know why the Qingshui River is called the Qingshui River? The Qingshui River is clear all the year round, and the sand in the river can be clearly seen in the shallow water of three or four meters.
"You two hurry to the village and find a few people with good water qualities, and look along the river. The third uncle couldn't wait any longer, and a worried look appeared on his face.
The two men who had followed him nodded and ran towards the village.
When a few people left, the third uncle looked at the river and asked, "Xiao Sui, Xiao Peng, this kid has always been impulsive, why don't you stop it!"
He didn't blame Luo Sui, but he was a little heartbroken.
Song Xiaopeng's character he knows, what this kid is going to do, his personality is as stubborn as a cow, and he can't pull it back.
Crash!
At this moment, a human head emerged from the bottomless river.
Who is Song Xiaopeng if it's not Song Xiaopeng?
Dragging half a sack of fish in his hand, he swam towards the bank of the river.
Luo Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The third uncle was happy at first, but soon his face became gloomy, and he motioned for Luo Sui to help him and walked towards the place where Song Xiaopeng swam ashore.
Song Xiaopeng put the fish on the shore and looked at the fruits of his labor, and was overjoyed. This skill of recuperating in the water is really useful. Looking at Luo Sui walking towards the third uncle, Song Xiaopeng smiled and said, "Third uncle, why did you come to the river!"
"It's long!" said the third uncle, with a straight face, not smiling.
"Uncle San, aren't you happy that I caught so many fish?"
"Happy, happy!"
"Xiao Sui, what's wrong with the third uncle?"
"What do you say? Of course I'm worried about you, and I'm nowhere to be seen when I go down the river. ”
"Uncle San, I'm not an ordinary person anymore, it's okay to be in the water for a few hours!"
"Yo he, it's very capable!" Song Xiaopeng didn't explain, but as soon as he explained, the third uncle immediately blew his beard and kicked his eyebrows, "Have you grown your skills?"
"Am I not?"
"Hmph, do you know how turbulent this water is, what if you have three long and two short, and something happens! How can I explain to Xiaoyu?"
"Uncle San, I can breathe in the water, you really don't have to worry. Song Xiaopeng was a little helpless and explained, "Now that I go up to the mountains to hunt, I can't catch any prey, so I think I can cultivate, I can go into the water to catch fish, and I can live." ”
"You and I can't be a three-year-old child, if cultivators can breathe in the water, then why are there still cultivators drowning!"
"Uncle San, Brother Xiao Peng is also for life, don't be angry with him. I will take care of him in the future and will not let him mess around. Actually, I taught him his ability to breathe in the water last night. I was worried just now, and I was also afraid that he didn't learn. However, now it seems that Brother Xiao Peng is very talented, so don't worry about it, okay?" Luo Sui is not only beautiful, but also has a delicate mind.
Song Xiaopeng was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Luo Sui to help him comfort the third uncle.
"Really?" it was the third uncle, who couldn't help but ask when he heard Luo Sui's words.
"Really. Luo Sui nodded, and winked at Song Xiaopeng without leaving a trace.
Song Xiaopeng saw Luo Sui winking at him, smiled wryly, and then echoed: "Yes, third uncle, Luo Sui hasn't died in the water for so long, the method of breathing is amazing, even if I learn a little fur, I can stay in the water for an hour!"
"Hmph, you kid, if you get cheap, you'll still be good! However, since the girl taught you the method of collecting interest, then it's no problem. After listening to Luo Sui's explanation, Sanbo suddenly had a big change of 1,800 degrees, but looking at Song Xiaopeng, he still said angrily, "You kid, if you don't treat the girl well, see how I clean you up!"
"How dare you, now there is Sanbo as a backer!" Song Xiaopeng said with a dry smile.
"Third uncle, in fact, I didn't teach him much!" Seeing Song Xiaopeng glancing at himself fiercely, Luo Sui said with a little weakness.
