Chapter 349: Blindness
Qin Shiqi felt that he had said a little too much.
"This is also your child, don't forget!"
Xiao Yuting didn't expect Qin Haimo to change his face so quickly. It was because he didn't have long eyes, he was blind, and he was confused by ghosts, so he fell in love with him.
"Okay, now hurry, it's late at night, and now it's even deeper, and I think if you don't sleep again, if you get cold, think about how much trouble you'll cause us. It's all angry just now, don't go to your heart, now the quilt is not cold, I'll carry you up. Qin Haimo was about to get up.
"No need, I don't worry about you hugging me when you come down, and there are children."
When Xiao Yuting heard Qin Haimo say this, the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared, she untied her coat, and was obediently held in Qin Haimo's arms.
Women in love are always blind, even if Qin Haimo was so kind to Xiao Yuting just now, but after Qin Haimo's words, Xiao Yuting felt that maybe Qin Haimo actually had her in his heart, but he didn't realize it himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't care about his body.
People are always willing to believe what they want to see. and not believing what they refuse to see. This is especially true in a relationship.
Just like Qin Zhiqi always thought that Ye Jinyu was married to Li Sui, and he was now with Li Sui, he was forced to do so. Xiao Yuting also believed that Qin Haimo had a heart for herself. But I have always been unable to face my own heart. His heart for the imperial sister-in-law is just a touch of obsession.
Either way, the night passed like this. The next morning, they all got up early, after all, in this kind of place, no one can lie in bed like in the capital, Li Sui and Qin Haimo did not have the habit of lying in bed. Now, it is a tense situation, and I dare not slack off.
The four of them ate a little bit, and the rest was left to the dark guards. Li Sui and Qin Haimo, each with half of the secret guards, went to the Xijiang River. Left half of the secret guards to guard Xiao Yuting.
They hired a local guide, who is actually someone who knows more about the local culture.
The man's name was Agen, and he was a good herder here, and he was also very thick, and he knew the surrounding terrain very well.
Li Sui stood on a high mound, looking at the Xijiang River getting closer and closer, and the real trip to the Xijiang River would not be easy. But no matter how he looked at the river, he didn't see anything different?
"Agen, why don't you go near this river, there are still some oases next to this river. Then your land is much more fertile than yours here. ”
Li Sui was a little incomprehensible, looking at it from his point of view. In the distance, the Xijiang River is like a one. The silver ribbons that flowed, but the weeds around him proved that there was definitely an oasis before, but now it was winter. to present this picture of decay.
"If you get close to the Xijiang River, the river god will get angry, and he will be angry, and he will eat our house, and even eat us! None of this is a no-no. From the ancestors, there is already such a rule. Where it is close to the Xijiang River for ten miles. Something is bound to go wrong. ”
Agen folded his hands and bowed in the direction of the Xijiang River, which is a custom on their side, as long as they talk about the mysterious river god. They had to bow in that direction. As if that would allow the river god to forgive their sin of discussion.
"Can you tell us why?"
Ye Jinyu was really a little curious, she didn't believe that a river could have such a great power, but since the locals said so, there must be a certain basis.
"Well, in fact, it's not that I can't tell you, it's very simple, they just have a legend, legend, once by the Xijiang River, where our ancestors lived for generations, when the land was fertile, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and life was very happy! Every year is a good year.
But then, people began to be dissatisfied with what they were getting now. began to fish and shrimp in the Xijiang River, fished out, and sold outside. In this way, people's lives are getting richer and richer, but there are fewer and fewer fish and shrimp in the Xijiang River. In addition, people also threw those garbage and messy things directly into the Xijiang River. The unrestrained use of water from the Xijiang River to irrigate crops.
There are even people next to the Xijiang River. Dig up the soil to build some ancestral halls or something, and dig ditches to continue the water of the Jiangxi River and put it into the farmland to irrigate the crops. In this way, the Xijiang River became worse and worse, which completely angered the river gods in the Xijiang River. The river god couldn't stand the people's misdeeds, so he caused a small flood that flooded several farmlands.
Unexpectedly, such an act angered the people who were already arrogant at that time. People began to build dikes in an attempt to block the Jiangxi River. They erected tall clods of earth and then planned the Xijiang River to be built as they wanted.
This act completely angered the river god of the Xijiang River, and the god of the river was so angry that he broke the dikes and flooded the farmland and swallowed the entire village. The entire house that existed along the banks of the Xijiang River was washed away.
Since then, no one has dared to build a house on the banks of the Xijiang River. If it is established, it will definitely be swallowed up by the Xijiang River if it does not last for a period of time. "Unlimited
When Agen spoke, he kept looking at the Xijiang River in the west, clasping his hands together and constantly waving.
"It's a bit of a miracle. The river also looks quite calm. How is it possible to engulf so many villages and engulf people's houses? ”
Ye Jinyu looked from afar, and the Xijiang River was not like the big rivers they had seen before. It flows very slowly, and very smoothly. The other great rivers are rushing forward, scrambling to be the first, mixed with the roar of each species, rushing away.
"These things are true, and they are all rules that have been handed down from our ancestors. And we don't know why. All we can say is that there really is a river god here. We can't provoke him, and here in Xijianghe, it's winter, it's a dry season, and its water level is relatively low. In the summer, it's much higher. I'll take you up and take a look, and you'll see the riverbed. ”
Ah Gen was a little clumsy, dancing and gesturing for a long time, but he didn't understand, so he simply led everyone over to have a look.
Ye Jinyu and the three of them glanced at each other, frowning a little, the locals actually said it so miraculously and reasonably, then this matter may probably be true. But what exactly is the reason, they do not know yet.
However, they never believed in ghosts and gods, especially the river gods this time.
But if it's human, it's terrible, maybe it's just a coincidence. There have been several floods that have scared the locals. With this mentality, the three of them went to the Xijiang River.
The wide riverbed is only half of the water at this time. The water of the river is clear, and even if you catch it casually, there are a lot of fish and shrimp, and its fertility can be seen.
"It's a waste of such a good resource, you don't know how to use it."
Ye Jinyu looked at the fish and shrimp all over the river, there are so many in winter. It's incredible.
"There is no way to do this, these are the people of the Xijiang River God, and we don't dare to move, every time we move, there will definitely be a big disaster that will befall our village. I advise you not to attack their ideas either. Agen looked at the three of them with some concern, for fear that they would touch a few fish on a whim and go back.
"Don't worry, we don't have any interest in these fish and shrimp, we are here to find an old man this time."
"You say you're here to find an old man, why did you come to the Xijiang River, did he live here before?"
Agen was a little puzzled.
"Then Agen, tell us about what happened thirty years ago, anyway, it's about thirty years ago, has anything special happened? When did you start to stay away from Xijiang for generations? After Li Sui looked at Xijianghe carefully, there were some questions that puzzled him.
"Thirty years ago? I was thirty-nine years old, I was nine years old, and nothing special had happened, but there was a group of people who had been stationed in our village, and I don't know what they were doing, but they were divided into two groups, one in white and one in blue. We don't know what's going on. They circled around the Xijiang River all day long, and after about half a month, they left again. ”
Agen recalled that there was indeed this group of people thirty years ago, when he was nine years old, it was the age of fun, when those people first came to their village, he was very curious, and kept following them, and some of them were quite good at talking, and gave him a lot, at that time there were still snacks that he couldn't even think of, so he still remembered it vividly.
"Did that group of people come with anything with them, and they didn't take anything with them when they left?" Li Sui felt that the main thing now was to understand which batch of treasures this batch was. And then it's a deception years ago, is there any gain? If they are all poached by others, then what are you going to do?
"When they came, they took some simple tools, and when they left, they didn't have many of them." Agen reminisced and found that when the gang came, there was nothing special except for the better food.
"Okay, then please lead us around and take a good look at this Xijiang River." Li Sui had also guessed that the group of people was not here to hide, but to dig, but for some reason, they left early and found nothing.
Agen folded his hands and bowed in the direction of the Xijiang River, which is a custom on their side, as long as they talk about the mysterious river god. They had to bow in that direction. As if that would allow the river god to forgive their sin of discussion.
"Can you tell us why?"
Ye Jinyu was really a little curious, she didn't believe that a river could have such a great power, but since the locals said so, there must be a certain basis.
"Well, in fact, it's not that I can't tell you, it's very simple, they just have a legend, legend, once by the Xijiang River, where our ancestors lived for generations, when the land was fertile, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and life was very happy! Every year is a good year.
But then, people began to be dissatisfied with what they were getting now. began to fish and shrimp in the Xijiang River, fished out, and sold outside. In this way, people's lives are getting richer and richer, but there are fewer and fewer fish and shrimp in the Xijiang River. In addition, people also threw those garbage and messy things directly into the Xijiang River. The unrestrained use of water from the Xijiang River to irrigate crops.
