Chapter 20 The Wenshui River was leveled
When I heard what Xiao Jiu said, I was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction she was looking, but I didn't find anything.
But she would never say such a sentence for no reason.
"What? What's coming out of the Wenshui River? I looked at her and asked.
She didn't speak, she put on the red cloth and walked straight outside.
It's also strange to say, Xiao Jiu's eyes can't see, and he is not familiar with the surrounding environment, but he can find a suitable way, and he walks very vigorously, not at all like a person with eye disease.
I hurried after him and followed a piece back to the village.
When I came out of the valley of the mass grave, I heard the sound of the waves of water.
Our village is still some distance away from the Wenshui River, and during the summer flood season, the village can hear the sound of water, but usually it can't be heard.
Now that the sound of water echoes in my ears, thinking of what Xiao Jiu just said, I realize that something big has happened.
I hurriedly ran to the front, and instead of following Xiao Jiu's ass, I ran to the village first.
Standing on a high place, I looked over the whole village and saw that the edge of the village was bright.
This is because of the sight created by the moonlight shining on the surface of the water.
Even when the Wenshui River flooded a few years ago, it didn't rise here, and if the water was a little bigger, I am afraid it would flood the houses in the village.
There was also a commotion in the village, and no one dared to sleep, so they were on guard outside, for fear that the water would rise again.
"Xiao Jiu, wasn't the river god beaten away by you? And even the river god's order to ask for troops was broken by you, why is this still happening? I asked, looking back.
Xiao Jiu stood behind me and said, "River God? That big crab, you say? Amusing! What kind of river god is it? It's just a little demon. ”
"The water of this Wenshui River has changed its direction, and other villages are not flooded, just for your village, it is obviously aimed at you, even if the river god's order to ask for troops is destroyed, you can't escape."
I was in a hurry, because I was afraid that I would be in danger, and second, I was worried about the people in the village and my home.
Most of the people in the village are from peasants, and the feudal tradition is serious, and they have guarded the family's one-third of an acre of land all their lives, and if the family is destroyed, I am afraid it will kill them.
I don't get much of them to see it, but I don't want to see it like that.
"What then? Can you suppress it? If it's suppressed, it won't happen again the day after you're gone, right? ”
Xiao Jiu said: "If I come out, I will definitely be able to suppress it for at least a year." ”
"A year? That... That's fine, at least to solve this urgent need first. I nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, let's go."
After speaking, Xiao Jiu walked towards the village and stopped talking nonsense with me.
I followed, and I met many villagers on the way, and when they saw me, they immediately surrounded me one by one.
"Chen Ping'an, you angered the river god, you hid yourself, let us suffer for you."
"Grab it and throw it into the Wenshui River!"
"Yes, only by throwing Chen Ping'an into the river can the anger of the river god be appeased."
“…”
They are talking word by word, and they are all eager to eat me raw, and they blame me for all the hardships they suffered today.
The words became heavier and heavier, and more and more people gathered, and in an instant my side became the focus of everyone, and people kept coming to this side.
Xiao Jiu was also surrounded, and I was afraid that she would be affected, so I protected her behind me.
As for my explanations, they were all useless nonsense, and they didn't listen at all, and they were bound to tie me up and throw me into the river.
Soon, this guy came over, and he forced his way through the crowd, came up to me, and looked at me.
"Ping, it's great that you're alive."
He was the only one who had a good impression of me, and I replied with a smile: "I'm fine, what's wrong?" ”
Sun Blind sighed and said, "Alas, early this morning, there was a problem with the Wenshui River, and the river changed its course in reverse and flooded our village. I don't know who spread it, saying that you offended the river god, this is the river god's guilt, and only by tying you up and sacrificing you to the river god can the river god's anger be appeased. ”
"The people in the village have been looking for you for a day, and you show up at this time, it's really... It's so irrational. He glanced at the angry villager next to him, and the meaning was obvious.
With the current situation, it is impossible to suppress it just by relying on the words of Sun Blind.
I shook my head, glanced at Xiao Jiu, and replied: "It's okay, since I appeared, I will definitely be able to handle it, don't worry." ”
At this time, Sun Blind noticed the person behind me.
He tilted his head and glanced out of the corner of his eye that could catch a glimpse of a person, with a puzzled expression.
"Who is this? Why did you come out with a red cloth? ”
Blind Sun knew about Xiao Jiu's existence, but he probably hadn't seen it, and I didn't say anything, so he shook his head and asked him not to ask more.
Then, I looked around and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet, listen to me!" ”
"What do you say, don't try to play tricks, be honestly tied up by us, lest we hurt you with our hands, and you will still suffer when the time comes."
"Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, their family is not a good thing, let's tie it up."
At this time, Xiao Jiu behind me came out with a rather dissatisfied voice.
"What's the matter with these people, so noisy."
I can understand the behavior of the villagers, but Xiao Jiu is different from ordinary people, and I am afraid that she will be angry because of this, so I quickly explained.
"Xiao Jiu, it's no wonder about them, it's mainly my problem."
"I don't have time to spend here." She ignored my explanation, walked past me, and walked straight ahead.
The people in the village didn't know Xiao Jiu, and they wouldn't do anything to her, but I was different, I wanted to follow Xiao Jiu, but I was stopped by the villagers.
A group of people held me up and were about to tie me up with twine.
"Sun is blind!" I shouted: "Hurry up and save me, I will solve the matter of Wenshui River for everyone, there will be no problem." ”
No matter what everyone said about Sun Blind behind his back, he really had some skills and prestige in the village, and no one dared to do anything to him when he got into the crowd.
This guy snatched the twine from the villager's hand and threw it directly to the ground, shouting in his mouth.
"Do you people have any conscience? Ping'an this baby is pitiful, the whole family has suffered misfortune, even if there is a fault, it is not the fault of this baby, you are so difficult for him, and you want his life, are you not afraid of retribution? ”
When they heard this, all the people fell silent, looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Blind Sun's tone also softened, and said, "Okay, everyone give me a face, and also give Ping An a chance to see how he can solve this disaster in Wenshui River." ”
After saying that, before everyone could react, he pushed me out of the crowd and whispered in my ear.
"If you can't do it, run, don't come back."
I was grateful to Sun Blind in my heart, but I didn't say anything, I finally ran out, and immediately looked at Xiao Jiu's back and chased after him.
When he caught up, Xiao Jiu was already almost at the water's edge.
"What are you going to do? Is there anything I can help with? I asked.
"You can't help, just get out of the way, just don't get in my way." After speaking, he paused for a moment, turned back and said, "I'm going to leave too, don't forget what I said to you." ”
I nodded and didn't say anything more.
And she stepped into the water.
As soon as you step on the water, the waves under your feet suddenly stir up, and the place where you step on it is the center, and push it straight forward, and the water level also faintly falls a little.
"Wenshui River! As I said yesterday, if you dare to deceive people again, I will calm you! Since you think you can offend me, let me show you today, there are some people you can't provoke. ”
Xiao Jiu spat out cold words from his mouth, and there seemed to be magic in his words, which actually calmed down the water that came up.
She stepped on the surface of the water and walked forward, and with each step, a cloud of water rose under her feet and turned into a water lotus.
Step by step, the truth is in the mouth.
I looked at it from a distance, and suddenly felt that I was very far away from her, such a person, and an ordinary person like me became husband and wife, it was really a flower inserted in cow dung.
Xiao Jiu stepped on the water lotus and walked forward, and the water level also changed.
With each step, the water level will drop a little and slowly retreat into the Wenshui River, no longer threatening our village.
I was stunned by this scene, and the villagers in the village were even more dumbfounded, and they all knelt on the ground one by one, thinking that the gods were coming, and kept kowtowing and bowing.
And there was also a change on the Nabun River, and a huge whirlpool emerged.
A wave of water appeared in the center of the whirlpool, tumbling and surging, as if something was challenging Xiao Jiu.
The red cloth on Xiao Jiu's body trembled, as if he was about to fly off his body at any time, and his walking speed slowed down, it should have been hindered by something.
When I looked closely, I noticed that there were faint blisters on the surface of the water, and it was supposed that something was going on underwater.
Xiao Jiu walked this part of the road, the distance was not long, but he walked for nearly ten minutes, and finally came to the center of the whirlpool, standing on it, stepping on the water lotus, not affected by the power of the whirlpool.
At this time, a deep and majestic voice came from the water.
"You are very unusual, it is not easy to practice when you think about it, don't take risks for an ordinary person today, otherwise the consequences are not something you can bear!"
The sound of thunder made even Wenshui River tremble.
"Chen Ping'an is just a person who has broken taboos, why is he worthy of your protection?"
Xiao Jiu was unmoved, and sneered: "This threat should be me, you are not qualified yet." As for Chen Ping'an, that's my person, and you are not qualified to move. ”
Then, an arrogant laugh came from the water: "Quack! ”
But the sound didn't last long.
Xiao Jiu squatted down and put his hand into the whirlpool, not knowing what she had done, the laughter stopped abruptly, and then a frightened sound came out.
"How is that possible? How can it be? You... You... You're here..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Jiu's hand pressed down deeply, interrupting the voice directly, and then her whole body also fell into the water.
