Chapter Twenty-Three: Doubts

The night was dark, and a cold wind blew towards me, and the feeling of pulling out the cold instantly soaked my whole body.

I took a deep breath and let my heart sink.

I don't know my dad's whereabouts now, and I hope that according to Zhang Yiqing's method, I can see my dad tomorrow.

I stood at the door and looked outside, and then Qi Yao called out to me and said, "Qin Huai, rest early." ”

I said okay, I turned back to the house, cleaned up the room, lay on the bed, I thought about how to make the three incense sticks immortal tomorrow, I thought for a while and didn't come up with any signs, the only way may be to keep the three incense sticks alive, and when they are about to be extinguished, I will immediately renew them, so that they can last until the evening.

I thought about it for a moment, and then I fell asleep.

It wasn't until dawn the next day, when I heard the rooster crowing outside, that I quickly flipped out of bed, and I found three sticks of incense and lit them.

After lit, I stayed next to the three sticks of incense, staring at it at any time, not long after I got up, Qi Yao also got up, Qi Yao didn't say much, washed up, and began to make breakfast, Qi Yao can be said to be a good-looking, and very diligent girl.

I looked at Qi Yao in a daze, I used to live with my father, but now there is another Qi Yao.

When she made breakfast, she quickly called me to eat, and after breakfast, I washed the dishes and chopsticks.

In this way, I kept staring at the three incense sticks until the evening, and in the evening, the weather was a little cold, and a gust of wind and cold wind blew, and I couldn't help but shiver, and I remember that I looked at the time, and the time was about half past seven.

Qi Yao was also standing beside me at this time, standing silently, without saying a word.

I didn't delay, I called my father's name as soon as I opened my mouth, I shouted the first time, but there was no response, I looked around, but I didn't see anything, the night in the countryside was dark, and at a glance, I couldn't see anything at all.

I took a second breath and shouted, and after the second one, there was nothing but echoes in the night.

I shouted twice and didn't see my dad respond, and it seems that the third one shouldn't be rewarding.

Thinking so, before shouting the third time, I also asked Qi Yao, "Did you find anything?" ”

Qi Yao shook her head and told me, "No." ”

I started to worry in my heart, don't shout nothing, my mind started to go up and down.

But the third voice still had to be shouted, I looked forward, and soon shouted the third tone, and the third voice fell, and there was still no response, and after the third sound, I did not speak again.

But I'm very worried, can I see my dad like this?

The three incense sticks continued to burn, and Zhang Yiqing didn't see anyone, but at this time, there were footsteps outside my yard, and my heart immediately followed the footsteps to my throat, I thought, is it my dad coming?

I walked towards the front, but as soon as I got to the door, there was a sound of slamming the door outside, and the sound of slamming the door was very urgent, and one after another, I asked, "Who is it?" ”

My second uncle's panting voice came from outside, saying, "Xiaohuai, open the door quickly, I'll tell you something." ”

I opened the door with my hand, and when I opened it, my second uncle's face was pale, and he didn't look very good.

When I saw this, I hurriedly asked, "Second uncle, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Come on, come with me, I see your dad."

"What!" I asked in immediate surprise.

He repeated: "Xiaohuai, when I was taking a shower just now, I saw your father walking by my window. ”

I hurriedly ran to the second uncle's house, and within five minutes, I ran to the second uncle's house, but where was there still a figure here at this time, I asked the second uncle, "Second uncle, in which direction did my father run?" ”

The second uncle pointed in a direction, and I quickly chased after it, and the direction my father walked was the direction of my village.

I ran all the way and ran for a ride, but found that the second uncle didn't catch up, but I couldn't care so much at this time, it was more important to find my father, I ran to the location of the village entrance, and I saw a figure standing under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. Although the distance is relatively far, I can still tell from the vague outline that it should be my dad, but what my dad is doing standing under the old locust tree in the middle of the night.

I ran after it, and I was about to catch up with my dad, but suddenly my dad walked forward again, and I was shouting my dad behind me.

But no matter how much I shouted, he wouldn't look back, and I couldn't catch up with him, as if no matter how fast I ran, he could overtake me.

In this way, after chasing for a ride, my voice was almost hoarse, and my father went further, just to the Qinkou River.

After running for about half an hour, I was so tired that I couldn't breathe, and my dad had already arrived at the position of Qinkouhe last night, which was the position where Zhang Yiqing and I went last night, I called my dad, and when I saw that I shouldn't shout dad, I opened my throat and shouted Qin Youyi.

But it still didn't work, there seemed to be some ghost thing calling my dad, and the next second, I saw my dad jump and jump into the Qinkou River.

For a moment, I was dumbfounded.

What is my dad doing, I shouted at the river to my dad, but there was no response, and the strange thing is that my dad jumped into the Qinkou River, not even the splash, waited for about a minute, my dad still did not come out of the water, I was in a hurry, I was ready to jump into the Qinkou River, but before I could jump down, I felt that someone grabbed my clothes behind me, I looked back, and saw that the person who grabbed my clothes was Zhang Yiqing.

Zhang Yiqing had a faint smile on his face, and when I saw him, I was stunned for a few seconds, not knowing when he appeared in front of me.

It's really unaware.

"Don't go, you can't save him."

I saw my dad jump in with my own eyes, how could I not care if my dad lived or died.

"Are you really going down?"

I said of course I was going down, and that was my dad. When my words fell, Zhang Yiqing suddenly let go of me, my body lost its tension, and I fell forward at once, and then I fell into the water, I grew up here, and the water nature can't be said to be too good, but it's barely okay.

I jumped in and searched for it, but I couldn't find any sign of my dad, who was like he hadn't been here.

Zhang Yiqing clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking indifferent, and after I searched for ten minutes, Zhang Yiqing asked me, "Did you find it?" ”

I replied no.

Zhang Yiqing continued: "I said, you can't save him. ”

I rowed towards the shore, and when I saw my dad's accident, I was about to cry, and I couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhang, won't my dad survive this time?" ”

Zhang Yiqing shook his head, as if he was not sure about this matter.

I saw him shake his head, and hope instantly ignited in my heart, I looked at Zhang Yiqing, waiting for Zhang Yiqing to continue.

Zhang Yiqing looked into the river and said: "Your father has offended the underworld and the existence of the Qinkou River, and I can basically be sure now that your father is not offended by the river god." ”

I asked, "Who is that who has sinned?" ”

"Your dad probably offended someone he shouldn't have offended."

When Zhang Yiqing said this, it was like playing a dumb riddle with me, my dad must have offended a powerful person, otherwise, my dad would not have had an accident.

Zhang Yiqing didn't speak at this time, his eyes also looked towards the water, and I followed suit, but this made me suddenly think, if my father didn't offend the river god, could it be Qin Shihuang who offended? Zhang Yiqing told the story of Qin Shi Huang asking for the elixir here last night, but Qin Shi Huang did not succeed in seeking the elixir at the beginning.

Thinking of this, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and I couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhang, could it be that the person my father offended was Qin Shi Huang?" ”

After I finished saying this, Zhang Yiqing hurriedly made a silent gesture towards me, and reprimanded me: "Qin Huai, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhang Yiqing's voice became a little more stern, and I was immediately afraid to speak when I was drunk by Zhang Yiqing.

Afterwards, Zhang Yiqing also arched his hand to the river and said: "Please don't be angry, don't be surprised by what the child says." Saying that, Zhang Yiqing also bowed his hand.

But after Zhang Yiqing finished bowing, there was a sudden movement on the river.
