Chapter 25: The River God
Sixteen also successfully escaped the entanglement of this group of children, and took a few turns before being sent to Shen Guan.
Luo Yunsheng went to see what was going on with the river god, Sixteen had been staying in the house and didn't know at all, he only learned after eavesdropping on the girl outside Shen Guan's house.
It is said that Xunyang has been flooding every few years, drought continues, in short, the weather is very bad, the people in the town say that some people have done everything to make God unhappy, so the river god has not rained, even if it rains, it is heavy rain.
Later, there was a goddess in Xunyang, who understood the meaning of heaven, and wanted to send boys and girls to the river god in order to ask for good weather, but how could people hand over their daughters, so this sacrifice was mostly a sacrifice offered by poor families who had no money.
After a few votes in a row, the weather in Xunyang still did not improve, and the goddess said that the people who sent it were not enough, and the river god wanted to marry and send the yellow flower girl who had not left the pavilion, so Xunyang set his daughter's marriage for a few days and nights, and let his daughter marry in a few days, both inside and outside the city.
Luo Yunsheng and the others were looking for the girl who had sacrificed today, and they agreed to spend the evening along the river to see where the girl had gone.
The young age did not know the reason why the girl sank into the river and drowned, and what they knew was that the girl really married the river god.
At night, I went to the famous river of Xunyang, the Xunqing River, which passed directly through Xunyang and flowed farther away, so the sacrifice would be carried out on that river. Because the river is big and long, leave the child behind, and the girl's body will not be found.
They talked all the way and said, "Do you think the river god is very old."
"It's shameful for him to marry a young girl at such an old age."
"Aren't we also some old men in Xunyang who go to the eldest daughter to be the little wife?"
Sixteen nights can't sleep, has been haunted by the river god's affairs, it stands to reason that Luo Yunsheng inadvertently blocked him twice, even if the other senior brothers ignored him when he first learned drama before, there was always a senior brother who stood up for her to relieve the siege, he would be dependent on the senior brother, and cared about the good of the senior brother, why Luo Yunsheng saved him twice He can still lie here safely, and he doesn't care about Luo Yunsheng.
He slept restlessly and kicked the quilt several times, and the quilt that had just been covered with heat was not a trace of heat from being kicked, and Sixteen didn't want to fall asleep and wait for Luo Yunsheng.
So he changed his clothes, lit a lantern and went out, the night was very quiet and cold, he let out a breath, he could be frozen into frost, he tightened his clothes, and came to the back door, which was where he and the old lady entered, at that time he was ignorant, he really had never seen the back door of the house made like the front door of an ordinary house.
The old man guarding the back door went to sleep, he waited outside the door with a lantern by himself for an hour, he couldn't wait for Luo Yunsheng to come back, so he couldn't help but set out to find it, his memory has always been very good, his drama can be memorized after watching it a few times, the road that the old lady took him through, the river on the road he remembered the route and could touch it, but it would fork a few times.
He finally found the river in the dark, and walked along the river, the river made a gurgling sound, he knew that there were demons and monsters in the play, and he also believed it, because of fear, he recited the Qingjing Sutra that Shen Wan often said in his mouth.
I only heard that there were really a few panicked boys running in front of him, which were the ones that Luo Yunsheng had made an appointment with during the day, but there was no Luo Yunsheng among the people who came running.
Duan Yuangeng saw Sixteen specially stop and tell him the truth: "You Miss Luo are entangled in the water ghost, I'm afraid you're going to have dinner for the river god", after speaking, he didn't wait for Sixteen to react, and caught up with the group of deserted and fleeing team.
Sixteen turned around and they were gone, and the cold wind blew the cold sweat in front of his head, and he continued to walk forward with a lantern
"Help, help" Sixteen heard the call for help, and hurriedly looked along the river beach outside, on the slope-shaped river beach, he stood on the top of the slope and just happened to see Luo Yunsheng who was crawling at the bottom of the slope. The girl clutched the dirt with both hands, apparently losing her daytime arrogance and imperiousness.
Sixteen and one arrows wanted to step forward to save Luo Yunsheng, but the slope was not easy to walk, he slipped down the slope without paying attention, slipped to the end and forgot the thrill just now and ran to Luo Yunsheng and grabbed her feet immersed in the river.
Groping, it was not the water ghost in the boy's mouth at all, but the aquatic plants floating up in the river, he took the aquatic plants from Luo Yunsheng's feet, patted Luo Yunsheng who couldn't speak, and scared Luo Yunsheng who couldn't slow down, he hugged Luo Yunsheng and patted her back, knowing that she was tired of crying, he carried her on his back, took the lantern that was extinguished when he slid down just now, lit the lantern again, and carried Luo Yunsheng home.
It was the first time Sixteen had carried her, and she didn't cry or make a fuss on his back, as if she was sobbing. Since that time, the group of boys who fled from the Luo family have never appeared, maybe it was really that night that Luo Yunsheng realized that they were not suitable to be friends, even if they played together, she was always the same as her mother.
is also like her mother, she can tolerate sixteen, she really calls sixteen uncle, she is sincere, and she calls it so in her heart. Since then, sixteen was invited by Luo Yunsheng to play with her a few days later, and the little chubby dun next to her also appeared, the little chubby dun is named Guo Changyuan, which matches his body type, but Luo Yunsheng likes to call him Guo Xiaopang looks kind, Guo Xiaopang is a quiet person, there are many books at home, and she has been reading a lot of books since she was a child.
He didn't know how he mixed up, but he got mixed up with Luo Yunsheng, who was a little bully and a female hooligan, in the children's circle, and it happened that sixteen had been added now, just so that the three of them could play the title of the three musketeers of the Luo family.
The name of the "Three Musketeers of the Luo Family" was given by Luo Yunsheng, and she had the style of wanting to be a heroine, and she was happy to be revenge, so Guo Xiaopang grabbed the thick pole of the plum tree and curiously asked Luo Yunsheng who fell on his sixteen legs: "Yunsheng, you said that your father's name is Luo Yunsheng, and you are also called Luo Yunsheng, the names of your father and daughter are the same, do you call you or your father when your mother calls you."
It was Luo Yunsheng who was holding the purple plum in his mouth with a comfortable face, and said casually: "How do I know, don't say that these two words of mine are troublesome to write, my father's name is much easier to write than mine."
"Your father is the head of the Luo family, it's so strange to choose a name, does he want you to be the head of the family in the future?"
Luo Yunsheng smiled, still closing his eyes: "How can I have the idle time to be the head of the family, I will be a ranger in the future, punish evil, promote good, and support justice, so that I will not only stay in this small Luo family."
After speaking, Guo Xiaopang's hand holding the plum branch was released, and the caught plum branch panicked twice, Guo Xiaopang said in response to the situation: "Naluo Woman is wise, remember to bring me with you in the future."
"No problem, you all bring it," she said, as she stretched out her index finger and circled aroundγγγγγ
Sixteen changes have been mingling with Luo Yunsheng and Guo Xiaopang since then, he can't speak among them, and he doesn't have to speak, Sixteen can't write, but what he thinks in his heart, plus actions, plus expressions, Luo Yunsheng will understand at a glance.
Sixteen looks good, if it is a girl, it must be a small jasper, every time he is embarrassed, his hands will be clasped together, put it in the middle of his stomach and smile embarrassed, because the master used to tell him that girls are like this to show their embarrassment, such a twist, Guo Xiaopang looked over and blushed without blushing.
It's strange to say that he and Luo Yunsheng really don't have this kind of reaction when they are together, it's a boy's reaction when they look at girls. Sixteen is a boy, Luo Yunsheng told him again and again in front of Sixteen, and carefully taught him to change.
"Uncle Sixteen, that's how men walk," she said, jumping out of her chair and demonstrating a step with her right foot in the open space in front of her, followed with her left hand and swinging her right hand back. Then move your left foot forward and switch positions with two hands. In this way, Luo Yunsheng walked a few steps heroically, like a butcher selling pork on the west street, the butcher was covered in horizontal meat, tall and mighty, so he walked tall and mighty.
Although it was very stupid, Guo Xiaopang wanted to snicker when he saw it, but Sixteen still learned from her, just like he used to learn to step with his master, which foot Luo Yunsheng lifted, he lifted whichever foot Luo Yunsheng stretched out, he stretched out his hands. Luo Yunsheng has the same hands and feet, and he also follows with the same hands and feet. The two of them walked crookedly and funny, Luo Yunsheng felt very weird, looked back at Sixteen with a serious and unconscious face, and couldn't help laughing at the weird actions of the two of them, she laughed Sixteen also smiled, Guo Xiaopang also smiled, several people gathered together, no matter how others looked at them with weird eyes.
The sixteenth daughter finally disappeared, which is worthy of Luo Yunsheng's hard work. He still served his sister Shen Wan to recite the scriptures, and he also listened to the scriptures but was not as serious as before, because Luo Yunsheng told him that there is no Buddha who will bless you at all, Luo Yunsheng does not believe in Buddhism and wants to be a person who is detached from the world.
Sixteen believe in Luo Yunsheng, but also believe in Buddhism, he did not listen to kneeling on the side of the Buddha hall, but also learned Shen Wan in the pious chanting, begging himself and Luo Yunsheng to be able to be safe and happy forever, he likes this girl, likes her as the dearest person in his life, and hopes that she will have a good life.
