After handing over the two baby girls to Li's second sister-in-law, the old man Tianshui planned to return to the city, after all, this matter still had to be dealt with, and it was not just one or two times to see how the group of people did things at that time.

"You keep these silver taels first, and I'll be back in a while."

The old man of Tianshui left a bag of silver for Li's second sister-in-law.

"This, where is the need for so much, not needed."

Li's second sister-in-law refused again and again, but the two children didn't spend much money.

"It's better to stay in a hurry."

The old man of Tianshui could not refuse, and then left.

After he returned to the city, he was still a sugar man, and gradually became familiar with the people in the city, and he also learned a general story from some information that was only a few words.

The people here originally wanted to worship the river god, but for a while, I don't know why they didn't continue to worship the river god. That is, from that time onwards, disasters occurred at every turn, and droughts and floods always caused trouble.

People are also becoming more and more panicked, for fear that they will not be able to live this day.

I don't know who brought it up, saying that the river god was dissatisfied with the loss of worship, so he made trouble. Then they hurriedly resumed their prayers, but it seemed that the natural disaster was still continuing, and there was no good harvest for fishing, hunting, and crops.

Then gradually some people said that the river god was going to accept people, and it was useless to use only three animals. There are more and more such statements, and it also makes people more and more worried. Not long after, someone actually proposed to worship with boys and girls.

It may be that the days are too sad, but slowly more and more people agree, and the boys and girls draw people by lots, and whoever draws them is who's house.

I don't know if it's the mental effect or what, this day seems to be better than before, and everyone thinks it's feasible. Gradually this became a custom, and every two or three months when there was a heavy rainstorm, the children were let go of the river. It's just that I'm afraid that the children will be too noisy, so I fed them all the drugs before letting them go.

After this custom lasted for a while, some people protested, thinking that there were too few boys, which would affect the harvest in the future, and they did not want to continue smoking boys. As soon as such a protest came out, some people said that the child who smoked should not be too old, and it was not easy to raise a child, and besides, the river god would prefer to be smaller.

In the midst of the discussions, the one who floated away became a baby girl.

Over the years, from a pair of baby girls to multiple baby girls, probably there are always people who think that girls grow up to marry outside, so slowly even if some people don't win, they want to secretly float the baby girl away. But in order to ensure order, they can't be allowed to come nonsense, but taking into account the situation of everyone, the number of floating girls has been slowly increased.

Therefore, before the rainstorm, everyone's mood is always not very good, and some families cherish their children and are unwilling to draw their own children, so they are always worried; Second, although some families don't mind one more girl and one less girl, they are their own children, so they feel a little uncomfortable; Third, everyone is still worried that the river god will be dissatisfied, causing disasters and causing disasters.

After the old man Tianshui knew all this, he always felt that it was a big mistake in the world, this kind of bad habit, no, this kind of vicious thing, there are still people doing it. It's unbelievable that sacrificing a new life again and again is for the sake of an unwarranted river god?

He was determined to stop this and change that.

But it was almost time for the rainstorm, and he had not yet found a suitable place to house the baby girl, which gave him a headache, after all, there was no suitable good hall nearby.

But in any case, before the next rainstorm, he was going to see the two baby girls who had stayed at Li's second sister-in-law's house before.

This time, in order not to cause trouble to the other party, he also deliberately bought some things to carry, pretending to be a cousin who came to visit.

"Nizi, the third uncle has come to see you!"

The old man of Tianshui deliberately raised his voice to dispel the inquiring eyes of his neighbors.

"Third uncle, you're here......"

Although Li's second sister-in-law didn't expect the other party to come like this, she still pretended to cooperate.

"Why did you bring so many things?"

After welcoming people into the door, Li's second sister-in-law asked in a low voice.

"I think since I'm a cousin, I can't be empty-handed, and it's not good to look at it."

The old man Tianshui explained simply.

"Let's take a look at the children first, they have grown a lot recently, and they haven't been sick, and they are all very well-behaved."

As she spoke, Li's second sister-in-law went into the back room and took the two dolls out.

"That's good, it's good to be healthy."

The old man Tianshui looked at the sleeping faces of the two children and felt very relieved.

"By the way, are you going to take them away this time?"

Second sister-in-law Li asked tentatively, although she has had a relationship with the child for so long, but this is someone else's child after all, how can she stay here forever?

"I'm in a bit of trouble, well, if it's no longer convenient for you to take care of these two children, I want to find another place for them. Do you know if there is a reliable charity hall nearby? ”

The old man of Tianshui thought about inquiring again, if there was still no suitable one, he would rush to another city at night to have a look.

"Zentang? The nearby good halls are not very ...... It's not quite suitable, if you can't pick up the children for a while, these two children can stay with me for a while longer. ”

Second sister-in-law Li thought about it, and there was no suitable good hall nearby.

"Alas, since that's the case, if you take care of it for a few more days, I'll think of a way again."

The old man of Tianshui sighed softly.

After seeing the children, the old man Tianshui did not stay here too much, but took the time to walk around the surrounding towns to see if there was a suitable place for foster care. But most of the good halls here are dilapidated, and there are no more people who are messing around, and there are almost no real adoption and care of children.

"Mr. Xu?"

The old man of Tianshui returned to Li's second sister-in-law again.

"I'm sorry, I think these two kids can only ask you for the time being."

The old man of Tianshui stood at the door tiredly.

"Come in first."

Second sister-in-law Li saw that no one was probing her brain here, and gave way to the door.

"But what happened?"

Second sister-in-law Li asked with concern.

"I searched around and there was no suitable place to take in the children."

When the old man Tianshui said this, his heart was a little heavy, there was a jackal in front of him who wanted to die, but there was no place to stand in the back.

"If it's for these two children, it's okay to stay with me for the time being."

Second sister-in-law Li didn't know that the old man Tianshui was not only worried about these two children, but also about the countless children that might exist in the future.

"But, there will be such a child after that!"

After a short silence, the old man of Tianshui sighed heavily and said his words.
