I saw that the villagers all jumped into the pool and shouted: "River god, we are wrong! The village chief sat on the shore and prayed, "River god, forgive them for being disrespectful to you!" ”

After a while, a miracle happened, and the water level of the pool, which had been swelling rapidly, gradually dropped and was already well below the shore of the pool. Seeing this, the village chief said, "The river god has forgiven you!" ”

A villager shouted: "The village chief's family has been able to communicate with the river god for generations, so that our village can be blessed with good weather and a good harvest of grain." Otherwise, the pool of water will flood into the fields, and how will I wait to grow crops! A few years ago, when we saw that the water in the pond was no longer rising, we snubbed the village chief, disrespected him, and did not offer sacrifices to the river god, which was the punishment of the river god and a reminder to us! ”

When the other villagers heard this, they all echoed it, and the village chief smiled with satisfaction and walked back to the village.

"Husband, it's so strange, the water in the pool was about to overflow just now, why did it drop so much in a while, could the village chief really be able to communicate with the river god?" Ji Qing asked.

Xiang Lu took a closer look at this place and thought: There is a large field near the pond, and there is no river flowing at all, except that the river god's anger makes the river rise, I am afraid there is no other reason. Unless the groundwater can gush up, but, if it is up, how can it go down?

Seeing that Xiang Lu was also puzzled, the general said, "Sima Gongzi, this is God's will. God controls this area, and the local people are disrespectful to God, and God will of course be angry. Just as the people were to be faithful to the king, the king punished him for the slightest disrespect. ”

Xiang Lu looked at the general, and saw that he looked foolish and loyal, so he didn't reply, but carefully thought about the secret of the pond.

At this time, several villagers came over and started talking.

"It's been three years, and the river hasn't risen, and now it's rising again!"

"But no, in the past, we went to the village chief's house every few days to worship the river god and get some sacrifices, so that the river would not rise."

"I heard someone say in the past that the village chief is the river god, we saw that the river did not rise a few years ago, so we did not go to worship, and we did not respect the village chief so much, and when the village chief was unhappy, the water rose!"

"Let's go! The farther away from this pool of water, the better! ”

Xiang Lu watched a few people leave slowly, and thought: I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with the village chief!

Xiang Lu took a closer look at the pool water and saw that the pool water had become calm and clear, and the turbidity just now had precipitated. Xiang Lu thought to himself: If you want to know why, you can go under the water to see, this pool of water is not up to people's necks, and it doesn't matter.

"General, can I borrow one of your men!" Xiang Lu said to the general.

The general saw that Xiang Lu seemed to be suspicious of something, but since he had something to ask for, his own people were idle anyway, so he replied: "Sima Gongzi, please command!" ”

Xiang Lu smiled and said, "Please have a few people, go down to the pool, and see if there is a hole at the bottom of the pool!" ”

The men in black took off their coats and went down into the pool. Holding his breath and inspecting it, Xiang Lu waited on the shore.

After a while, a man in black shouted, "There's a small hole here." ”

When Xiang Lu heard this, he smiled and said, "You all come up!" It's time for us to pay a visit to the village chief! ”

The general was puzzled: Sima Gongzi, do you suspect that the village chief is deceiving and deceiving the villagers! ”

Xiang Lu looked at the general, and then smiled: "General, is there any other explanation?" Then he went with his wife to the village chief's house.

The general thought for a moment, sighed, and followed.

At the village chief's house, the old man was sitting at a table of tributes, smoking a cigarette in his mouth, sighing and blaming himself in his heart.

"Village chief, the villagers have given a lot of tribute!" Xiang Lu Road.

When the village chief saw Xiang Lu and the others coming, he asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing in our village? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, we are just passing by, just now I saw you by the pool and the river god psychic, I was really interested, so I came to ask you for advice." Xiang Lu Road.

"I'm sorry, but the art of channeling has been passed down from generation to generation, and I can't tell outsiders." The village chief said.

"Haha! Village Chief, I don't need you to tell me, I will! Xiang Lu looked at the village chief.

The village chief raised his head, saw Xiang Lu's chest, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me about it?" ”

The ghost blows the lamp
