Last time I was by the Rakshasa River, I heard the old fisherman say that the Qiantang River is flooded almost every year, and he didn't feel strange.

In the past five hundred years, although he has lived in Chang'an almost all of them, he also knows Datang very well.

The affairs of the world are not all in the palm of his hand, but even if he doesn't want to know the general situation, Emperor Tang will often send someone to tell him.

Flooding cannot be completely solved in this world, let alone Datang?

There is nothing strange about the annual flooding in many places.

Although with the help of the present Dahua, the scourge of flooding has been minimized to the greatest extent.

But there are inevitably places that cannot be taken into account, and there are many of them, and casualties are inevitable.

The problem is that the flooding of the Qiantang River is too irregular.

Perhaps most people think that there is no pattern to flooding.

Nature's temper is already changeable, and no one knows when she will explode.

But the opposite is true.

Not to mention the present world, even the original Datang has its own set of experience, through the river flood season, local climate, rainfall, past experience, etc., can summarize the approximate period of flood outbreaks in various places.

Floods are often preceded by warnings.

After Chen Yi learned about it, he found that every time the Qiantang River flooded, it was almost impossible to find these rules.

Just like the eldest aunt and uncle, come as you say.

And there is never a fixed period.

In short, almost once a year, except for autumn and winter, there is no way to say when the water will come.

This kind of uncertainty, which seems to conform to the "laws of nature", makes Chen also feel that it is a little deliberate.

It was as if someone had deliberately manipulated the flood so precisely to avoid suspicion.

If Chen Yi guessed correctly, then being able to have such a ability and avoid the ears and eyes of the Tang Dynasty government is definitely not an ordinary character.

At least congenitally, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

Chen Yi must find out this thing, he can't allow such a thing to stir up trouble in his own territory.

But that thing is really hidden, there is no beginning and no end, and it is not easy for him to find out.

"If you don't come out, then let the Buddha force you out......"

Chen also thought about it, so he went straight out of Jinshan Temple and came to the Rakshasa River.

Sure enough, the boy was still carrying stones on the rocky slope and throwing them into the river.

Chen Yi shook his head and walked over.

"Boy, do you want to get your mother back?"

He knew that this little boy was stubborn, and no matter how much he told him, he probably wouldn't stop and pay attention to him.

Unless it's the person he cares about most.

Sure enough, Xiao Tong changed his sluggishness of ignoring the people around him, made a pause, and raised his head suddenly.

Chen Yi ignored him instead, and continued to prickly his heart: "Although I don't think your mother is still alive, after all, she may have been captured by monsters, and so much time has passed......

"My mother is still alive!"

Xiao Tong didn't wait for him to finish, and said angrily.

Two crystal tears instantly hung on the little face.

How old is it......

Chen Yi shook his head secretly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Oh? How do you know? Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

“……”

I don't know if the heart-piercing effect has passed, or if the child himself reacted, his expression darkened, and he silently lowered his head to pick up the stones.

"Well, let's just assume that your mother is still alive,"

Chen Yi followed his words and said, "Then do you think that your approach can save your mother?" ”

"This Rakshasa River is connected to the Qiantang River, the Qiantang is vast, traversing Suzhou and Hangzhou, flowing for more than 1,000 miles, straight into the East China Sea, how vast?"

"You little child, you want to fill it with this stone? It's ridiculous. ”

Xiao Tong still didn't react, Chen Yi was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "If you do this, it's just a waste of time, I'm afraid that your mother, who is still alive, would have had a chance to be saved, but she was delayed by your stupid approach, and if you don't die, you have to die." ”

"No, it won't!"

Xiao Tong couldn't help it, raised his head and shouted loudly with a dissatisfied face.

Chen Yi laughed and said, "No? Then tell me, how much time will it take you to fill up this Qiantang River? ”

"I, I ......"

The little boy was confused for a moment, and then he craned his neck and shouted: "Even if I can't fill it, there is still my son, my son can't, and my grandson, one day, I will definitely be able to fill in this river and let the monster obediently send it back to my mother!" ”

After speaking, the little face glared at Chen Yi angrily.

“……”

Return sons and grandsons, do you think you are a fool? There is no end to the number of children and grandchildren?

Chen Yi listened to this childish language, and wanted to laugh a little, but he couldn't laugh.

"Hahahaha!"

But he laughed anyway, and he laughed to the sky.

The laughter shook the river.

The little boy was really angry and embarrassed by him, and his small chest was agitated rapidly, and his round cheeks were like a little toad.

"What are you laughing at? Don't laugh! ”

Chen Yi sneered: "What do you say son grandson, little milk baby, you have not dried up your milk, do you know where your son came from?" ”

"I, I ......"

The boy's face was flushed.

"Okay, it's still the same sentence, you can afford to wait, I'm afraid your mother can't wait,"

Chen Yi said with a smile: "Even if you have sons and grandchildren, when they can move stones, I'm afraid your mother will be eaten by monsters and there will be no bones left." ”

"No, it won't! You lie! Wow——! ”

The boy burst into tears, crying hysterically.

Chen Yi was sympathetic, but he didn't show mercy.

He was like a child at this time.

Crying happily is a good thing for him.

Like before, Chen Yi bets that it won't be long before he will inevitably die of depression.

"Cry, cry......"

Chen Yi walked to the riverside with his hands down, looked at the mighty river, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "If you cry enough, listen to what I say." ”

“……”

The boy's crying stopped immediately, replaced by a series of sobs and hiccups.

"If you want to throw stones into Zhenjiang, it's not impossible, I can help you,"

"If I make a move and fill up this Qiantang River, it will only be a backhand,"

"But if your heart to save your mother is really like a rock, I can also teach you a way to force that monster out by yourself, of course, that monster is really hiding in the water,"

"Although it will take some time, it has been delayed for many years, and it will be nothing if it drags on for another month."

Chen Yi said slowly, turned around, and looked at Xiao Tong: "How?" Do you want me to do it, or do you want to do it yourself? ”

"What you said is true?"

The boy bit his lip, full of anticipation and cautious.

Chen Yi nodded: "Monks, don't speak." ”

The boy immediately shouted, "I want to save my mother myself!" ”

"Then follow me back to the temple."

Chen Yi was not surprised, just nodded, and turned to leave.

The boy gritted his teeth fiercely, lifted his short legs, and chased after him.

……

Chan also took the child back to Jinshan Monastery and did not teach him immediately.

Instead, they tossed him aside, as if they had forgotten.

It took a few days.

Chen also stood on top of the rocks, overlooking the direction of Qiantang County.

In that Qiantang County, Qingbo Gate, in an alley, there is a very majestic mansion.

At this time, the lights are being put out, and the gongs and drums are full of doors.

To the surprise of the neighbors.

It's just that this mansion was originally a royal mansion, but it has been abandoned for many years.

In this night, not only did someone live, but also held a happy event?

Chen Yi smiled slightly, withdrew his gaze, and turned around.

The little boy was standing behind him, staring at a pair of dark little eyes, and said angrily: "You lied to me! ”

Chen Yi smiled: "Oh? When did I lie to you? ”

"You said you were going to teach me!"

Chen Yi shook his head: "I can't help it for a few days, and I still want to save my mother in Zhenjiang?" ”

"I'm ......!"

"That's it, if you don't wait, I'll teach you today......"
