Chapter Thirty-Four: The Great Net River God
The body of the river god was found?
When I heard the news, I was so shocked that I got up from the bed and stared at my mother-in-law with wide eyes.
"The river god of the Wenshui River... Really dead? The drunkard asked in a deep voice.
The mother-in-law said, "Anyway, the news I got is like this, and quite a few people have already rushed there. ”
"Where?" That's what I asked.
"The upper reaches of the Wenshui River are almost to a waterfall in the main basin of the Yellow River."
She looked at me, answered, and added.
"I heard that someone was caught in a net, but there was a mysterious woman guarding the corpse there, as if it was the person from the town of Pingwen Shuihe that night, so no one dared to go directly to collect the net, and discussed the plan to cooperate."
The drunkard sneered: "Those cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, and people who are on the left side of the door are still doing it together, which one of them doesn't harbor evil intentions." ”
"Hehe, it's all like this, and then it's dog eat dog." The mother-in-law laughed.
I didn't speak, thinking about the mysterious woman my mother-in-law just said.
Could it be Xiao Jiu?
Thinking of this, I was surprised and happy, but with my mother-in-law here, I didn't dare to show it.
Everyone was silent for a while, no one spoke, and finally the drunkard broke the silence and asked, "Mother-in-law, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
The mother-in-law stretched out her arms.
This action, convex and backward, hooking eyes, I can't help but look over.
"Look at what, the news that was released tonight will definitely not take any action, just wait, sleep well first, recuperate enough, let's go and see it together tomorrow."
"Besides, although the corpse of the river god is a treasure, it is also an ominous treasure, and it is naturally good to be able to get it, and I don't want to force it too much if I can't get it. If the Water Dividing Sword is born, I'd love to try it, it's much more valuable. ”
As he spoke, he lay directly on my bed, and his body pressed against my legs.
I was so frightened that I immediately put my legs away.
"Mother-in-law, if you want to rest, then I'll go down first, you can sleep well here, just call me if you have something."
As I spoke, I grabbed my clothes and put on my shoes and ran, making my mother-in-law laugh on the bed.
Naturally, the drunkard couldn't sleep in that room, so he went out with me and closed the door when he left.
Without the pressure from my mother-in-law, we both breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, I saw two old eunuchs squatting there in the corner of the courtyard, as if they had never moved, if they were not really alive, I would have thought they were dummies.
I leaned into the drunkard's ear and whispered, "Don't these two eunuchs eat or drink?" ”
"Leave them alone." After the drunkard finished speaking, he took the lead and walked to the side room.
After glancing at the two eunuchs, I didn't meddle anymore, so I followed the drunkard in.
There are some sundries in the side room on weekdays, and there is only one bed in it, which is not lived in on weekdays, and it is not often cleaned up, and there are bags of clothes stacked on it.
The drunkard threw down his clothes and lay down with his head upside down, not feeling dirty at all.
I glanced at him and wanted to say something, but as soon as the words reached my mouth, I heard a sound of snoring, and I could only hold back the words.
I simply cleaned up a corner, found a few more clothes to spread there, and sat down directly against the wall to rest.
I kept my eyes open and stared at the roof, and I didn't feel sleepy until midnight.
The drunkard got up in the middle of the night, went outside to go to the bathroom, and when he came back, I grabbed him and didn't let him sleep.
"Master Qi, I have something to say to you."
"What's that?" The drunkard frowned, quite annoyed, "If there is something to talk about tomorrow, go to bed first." ”
I grabbed him and said, "No, no, I won't be able to sleep if I don't talk to you." ”
He looked at me, yawned, and said impatiently, "Then you can say it." ”
"Mother-in-law or the person who gave me the forbidden technique, who is more powerful?"
This question made the drunkard Qi feel a lot more energetic.
He was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and replied: "I don't know, but after all, my mother-in-law has been wandering for so many years, and I haven't experienced any scenes, and no one has seen them, no matter how powerful that person is, he will not be my mother-in-law's opponent." ”
I nodded, "That's good..."
"Don't think too much, go to bed first, we will talk about big things later, don't worry about the sky."
The drunkard was free and easy, talked to me for a while, and went back to sleep.
I kept thinking about the wee hours of the morning, and I couldn't help but get tired, so I fell asleep.
The next day, I was woken up early in the morning, it turned out that Mr. Liu came in person, he didn't bring many people, only Liu Qiang followed him.
When I saw the sedan chair and the two eunuchs in the courtyard of my house, I was curious.
Later, I found out that it was someone who came with the big girl from Yaomen, so I didn't ask too much.
Mr. Liu knew the origin of the eldest girl, and he didn't dare to offend her, nor did he want to have anything to do with her and cause trouble for himself, so he couldn't hold back his curiosity.
And, this time, he's coming for me.
He deliberately avoided the drunkard and called me outside to talk to me alone.
With curiosity, I followed out and asked, "Mr. Liu, there are no outsiders here, if you have any matter, please tell me directly." ”
Mr. Liu nodded: "I got the news that the river god in our Wenshui River is really dead, and the body has been found." ”
I've heard my mother-in-law say it a long time ago, so I behaved very calmly and only replied: "The matter of the river god, whether it has anything to do with me or not, I don't know the inside story." ”
"I didn't come to you to ask you about the cause and effect of this matter, nor to investigate the relationship with you, but to ask you for something."
Mr. Liu's answer surprised me.
"Please, me? What do I have to ask you for? ”
He glanced into the distance for a moment before he spoke: "I have long thought about who I can entrust everyone to after my death, but I never expected that this person would be you in the end. ”
"Although you don't have any ability, but you have a relationship with the woman of Zhenping Wenshuihe, then you can support the heavy responsibility of Wenshuihe. From now on, you will have the responsibility to protect the Wenshui River. ”
"Wait," I immediately shouted, "What responsibility, I don't want to carry any mission, this kind of thing should be done by heroes, not me, not me, not I don't have that ability." ”
Mr. Liu waved his hand and said without refusal: "You don't have to excuse yourself, except for you, no one can protect the Wenshui River." ”
"What about you?"
"Me? Hehe, you also know that we have people from all kinds of forces here, and they all want to plot something that belongs to the river god. And I belong to a part of the Wenshui River, blessed by the river god for decades, even if the river god is no longer there, I can't let them bully no one in our Wenshui River, I want to use my life to protect the river god and protect the Wenshui River. ”
I was shocked and said, "Are you going to stop them from moving the corpse of the river god?" ”
"That's right."
When Mr. Liu answered, the determination in his eyes could not be changed.
To put it bluntly, he planned to send him to death and use his life to maintain his responsibility to protect the Wenshui River.
After a moment of silence, he said again: "Ping, there is something I should tell you, do you know why your grandmother has always had a bad attitude towards me when she was alive?" ”
I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know.
"Actually, you should call me grandpa, your mother is my niece. When your family was killed, your grandmother begged me to come here, but I didn't make a move, and she has been holding a grudge against me ever since. ”
I was very surprised, I didn't expect to have such a relationship with Mr. Liu, I had never heard of it before.
He continued: "I also know that I am sorry for your family, but I also have my difficulties, and I don't want to explain anything now, I just want you to know about our relationship, and let you know that there is such a relative as me." ”
"Okay, I've finished what I need to say, and I've already explained it to my disciples, and they will listen to your command when they encounter things in the future, and I also believe that you can do it well."
After Mr. Liu explained to me, he didn't give me a chance to refuse or refute, and left immediately.
I looked at his back as he walked away, and my thoughts flew far away.
"Hehe, this old guy is going to protect the river god, but if he goes to the place where the body of the river god is found, he will definitely be sent to death."
The drunkard appeared behind me at some point, interrupting my thoughts.
I said in a deep voice: "No matter what, he is a respectable elder." ”
For Mr. Liu, what I admire the most is not his ability to retrieve corpses, but his firm belief in his heart and will do whatever it takes to believe.
Very few people are able to do that these days, and I'm ashamed.
As night fell, a solemn atmosphere spread along the banks of the Wenshui River, and the fog on the river spread to the surrounding villages, so that visibility was very low, and there was no moonlight to be seen, and everything was shrouded in black mist.
My mother-in-law doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, nor does she eat the food cooked by the drunkards, so she waited for me and the drunkards to eat enough before packing up and going to the place where the body of the river god was found.
She didn't travel far, so she sat on the white sedan chair, which was carried by two eunuchs.
According to her description, the waterfall where the corpse of the river god was found must have been a watershed with no villages, and the terrain was high, the roads were steep, and there were not many people to go there.
But now it is different, when we used to be in that place, there were already many people gathered in that place.
The waves are rolling across the mountains, and the river water is pouring down, and the momentum is like a rainbow, whether it is a visual or auditory experience, it is enough to shock the mind.
As soon as he approached, his clothes were soaked with mist.
Under the waterfall, a huge net is hung along the water, with one end of the net in the water and the other end fixed to a huge stone.
We got to a crowded place and found that there were some blood stains on the ground in front of us, which had not yet congealed, and it should have just flowed, as if there had been a fight here.
The mother-in-law got off the sedan chair, which still caused a sensation.
The shadow of a person's famous tree is mixed in this way, who has not heard of the name of his mother-in-law?
She glanced around and asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoists, am I late and missed any good show?" ”
A hearty voice replied: "Just now, an old immortal corpse salvage on the Wenshui River came to stop us, and we killed him, and the corpse was just thrown into the water. ”
"Mr. Liu..."I exclaimed, but I was stopped by the drunkard Qi and didn't let me have a seizure.
The mother-in-law didn't care about Mr. Liu's life or death, and continued: "In this case, why don't you close the net yet, the body of the river god has been found, then pull it up and let everyone open their eyes." Whose net is this? ”
The voice just now replied again: "Mother-in-law, don't look for it, the owner of this net is dead, killed by a mysterious woman who appeared in the water." The woman's eyes couldn't see, but they were unusually powerful. If the mother-in-law is also interested, we are willing to take the mother-in-law as the leader and jointly collect the net and collect the corpse. ”
I can't see it with my eyes, I'm more sure it's Xiao Jiu.
My mother-in-law didn't know what I was thinking, she thought for a moment, and agreed: "Okay, then I'll sell an old man and lead everyone to collect the net and take a look." ”
No one around said no.
She was also very direct, immediately greeted people, gathered people, stepped forward and reached out and grabbed the net.
"If you dare to touch this net, I will make your blood splash."
At this moment, a domineering voice came up from under the waterfall.
The pitch is not high, but it reverberates clearly in the ears, making the heart tremble.
