The uncle's attitude made me a little confused, if it was someone else, it would be fine, but he mentioned Shui Yao, and what I am most concerned about and care about at the moment is Shui Yao's problem.

"Uncle, can you reveal it, it's really not good, I'll buy you a few more lanterns, each for two hundred, how about it?"

The old man suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed behind us, his expression was extremely frightened, and he said tremblingly: "Dragon, dragon, there is a dragon in the river!" ”

Shui Yao and I turned our heads suddenly, only to find that it was empty behind us, only some young people were putting out lanterns, singing and cheering, and then kept moving away.

When I knew that I had been fooled, I turned around to find that the old man was gone.

glanced at Shui Yao, and after a while, he saw a middle-aged man walking out of the forest, he saw Shui Yao holding a lantern in his hand, and couldn't help but smile and said, "This lantern is so good-looking, it only costs 20 yuan." ”

In the end, I paid another 20 yuan and found a relatively wide position with Shui Yao.

Shui Yao placed the lantern on the gentle surface of the water, and with a gentle push outward, it slowly flowed down the river.

She was like a devout believer, standing on the shore, her hands clenched into fists, watching the lanterns slowly fade away.

Finally, Shui Yao turned around and leaned gently against me.

"I was abducted when I was very young, very young. At that time, it was about 5 or 6 years old, and I no longer had the impression of my father and mother in my memory, but there were a few pictures, one of which was that I was holding a lantern on the embankment, and I put the lantern into the water like now, watching it go away. ”

This was the first time Shui Yao had mentioned her past to me, and I listened very carefully.

He put his arms around her tightly and asked softly, "Did you go to find your family later?" ”

"I can't." Shui Yao shook her head slightly, "We are house slaves, the Li family spent money to buy us from human traffickers, saying that they gave us a second life, they are our reborn parents, and all our actions are in their hands, even now, this is true." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be shocked: "You mean, now they know where you are?" ”

"Not right now." Shui Yao shook her head slightly, looked at me and whispered, "We had surgery when we were very young, and they seem to have installed some kind of instrument in a certain part of our body, through which they can know where we are and what we have done at any time, and at the same time they can execute us." ”

I was dumbfounded, I really didn't expect the Li family in Chang'an to do such an inhumane thing!

"I've been worried about this too, but I can't tell Childe, once I do, they will turn me into a human bomber and injure Childe."

I didn't speak, but my fists clenched and clucked!

"For this reason, I went out of my way to find the empress and begged her to take off my instrument."

"Have you taken it off now?" I looked at Shui Yao with a nervous expression.

Shui Yao shook her head slightly, and smiled sadly: "Ranhong took me for a thorough examination, and she told me that the instrument is installed in our cerebral cortex, and after years of growth, it has been integrated with the cranial nerves, and once it is removed, it may cause cerebral palsy and sudden death." They just made a simple shielding of this instrument, and only when they were far away from the Li family, could it have a shielding effect. Once they return to Jinling, they will fall into their control again. ”

"Shui Yao, you stupid girl, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I held Shui Yao in my arms,

"Childe and Miss's days have just begun, you already have a lot of things, I don't want to be a burden to Childe." Shui Yao hugged me just as hard, and my chest was quickly soaked with her tears.

"Childe, childe...... I really want to hold Childe like this, watch Childe in a daze, and listen to Childe tell funny jokes. Shui Yao raised her head suddenly and looked at me with burning eyes, "Shui Yao has no regrets in this life." This time, they must know that the Li family Bayu also has a strong strength, even if I die, I will not let them know the secret of the son! ”

As he spoke, Shui Yao turned around and was about to rush into the Dragon River, and as soon as I stepped forward quickly, I hugged Shui Yao into my arms.

"With me, who can kill you!?"

I roared, and I was also venting the resentment in my heart!

I hate myself for being incompetent!

Since Shui Yao entered my world, she has encountered suffering three times and twice, and this God seems to be deliberately trying to trick her, constantly letting her taste the suffering of the world.

"Shui Yao, Shui Yao, my good Shui Yao......"

"Childe, let me go. In that water, it was as if a voice was telling me that only when I die can I be liberated and happy. ”

"Fart! Put the special mother's shit! I was furious, put Shui Yao straight, and stared at her eyes, "Shui Yao, you remember, I don't allow you to die, you can't die without my martial arts!" ”

"Childe ......"

As I was talking, I noticed that there was fog all around, and there was already water mist by the river, but the fog was very thick, and after a while, I heard the sound of someone knocking on bamboo tubes with something.

"Knock, knock...... Knock, knock, knock......"

I looked in the direction of the sound, but I found that I don't know when a stone arch bridge appeared on the river in front of me, and the arch bridge was not a staircase, but as smooth as a road, and then I saw an old woman, riding a battery tricycle modified car gear, emerging from the fog, slowly and leisurely. As she rode her bike, she tapped a thick piece of wood on a bamboo tube placed next to her seat.

"Knock, knock."

I took Shui Yao's hand and hurriedly walked over.

I don't know why, I always have a feeling that the appearance of this old woman should be able to change Shui Yao's tragic fate!

I think she appeared because of Shui Yao.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law."

We walked head-on, and the old woman stopped when she heard my shouting.

When I got closer, I noticed that this was a kind-faced, kind old man, and she was dressed simply, just like the old woman who occasionally gave us milk candy when she was a child.

Her car gear looks simple, and there's no smell on the surface.

"Mother-in-law, what are you selling here?"

The old woman was about to speak, when three young men came out of the woods not far away, laughing as they went.

They were about a hundred meters away from me, and it was supposed that the sound should not have been so clear, but I heard it word for word, and it was as if they were talking in our ears.

"Hey, that girl tasted so good just now."

"Lao Tzu hasn't been so cool for a long time, but he didn't control it for a while, and he died of it, it's a pity."

"What's a pity, there are so many female tourists who come out alone now, and it's still Halloween, when we are whole, it's really like a haunting, and no one will rely on us. When the limelight passes, when the time comes, find a young and beautiful person with a good figure, lock her in the basement, and play every day. ”

"Okay, pay attention to this, I'm excited when I think about it."

"Hehe, that girl has a few hundred dollars in her pocket just now, let's go to the city to find chickens to play with."

As they spoke, they staggered onto the bridge.

As soon as they saw the car gear, three people immediately surrounded them. And what makes me feel a little strange is that they don't seem to see us, only the old woman and her car gear.

"Hey, old woman, what are you selling?"

"Dumplings, ravioli."

The old woman's voice was hoarse, and it felt like a rusty saw grinding wood.

"How many bowls?"

"Eight dumplings, six wontons, each bowl will die (14), a total of (14) yuan."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be quite humorous as an old woman who is dying." A young man with long hair said with a smile, "I earned a few hundred yuan just now, and I will invite you for this meal today, and each person will have a bowl of dumplings!" ”

Because I was a little worried that these young people would behave rudely, I took Shui Yao's hand and stood quietly on the side and watched them.

The old woman got out of the car, bent over, first took out a plate of dumplings from the clean drawer with iron plates, counted forty-two dumplings, put them in boiling water, then closed the lid, took out three plastic bowls, and put them in plastic bags; Then take out the boiling water bottle from the lower grille and pour the boiled water on each of them.

She took some tender green leaves from the grate, put them in boiling water, and boiled them with the dumplings for a while.

"Old woman, okay, no, we're all starving!"

"It's coming, it's coming."
