Chapter 17: Misfortune is not a one-way street

"I'll come, I'll come." Honghua Daxian took the bowl and went out with chopsticks, he was an expert, and Ding Xiaocong was relieved.

Rue Xiang was whispering to her mother on the other side of the bed, Ding Xiaocong looked at it, it was not suitable to lie on the bed anymore, so she had to struggle to stand up. Yun Xiangniang hurriedly left her daughter and went up to support him, and thanked him a thousand times, "Thanks to you, little master, this is ......"

A red cloth bag was stuffed over, Ding Xiaocong pinched it, and the thick ones were banknotes, at this moment he wanted to cry, and finally earned the first money in his life, and the tuition fees were settled, for a boy who was only 15 years old, how difficult it was!

"Little master, I'll help you go to rest, see if you are tired." Yun Xiangniang saw that Ding Xiaocong's face was pale and sweaty, and she was distressed to death.

It was difficult for Ding Xiaocong to understand why Rue Xiangniang was so polite to him, after all, he was still too young to understand these deep-seated human feelings.

The time was too late, the road was too far, Ding Xiaocong was so tired that he couldn't go back, so he could only sleep here for one night. There are only two rooms in the house, and that night, he was arranged to sleep in Rue Xiang Niang's room, while Rue Xiang Niang stayed up all night to take care of her newly recovered daughter.

This night, Ding Xiaocong pinched the money in his pocket and slept very sweetly.

When the average boy is 15 years old, in addition to going to school, he is playing, and some people who are out of line are secretly smoking a small cigarette and drinking a little wine, and he Ding Xiaocong can already earn money with his ability, in the final analysis, all this is the blessing of those ten days of class.

That night, Ding Xiaocong dreamed of Professor Mi, it was on a snowy mountain, the cold wind was whistling in the snow, Professor Mi stood on the top of the knife-like mountain, let the wind sweep, and stood still.

"Master, Master!" Ding Xiaocong was very excited, and while climbing up against the wind and snow, he shouted, although he had only been a master and apprentice for ten days, Professor Kemi was kind to him.

But no matter how Ding Xiaocong climbed, the distance between the two sides could not be narrowed.

"Go back, boy." Professor Mi smiled and waved his hand, "You must not climb this mountain, be an ordinary person in peace." ”

"But I miss you." Ding Xiaocong was anxious, continued to climb up, and shouted.

Professor Mi shook his head and sighed, "You and I may have a goodbye day, but not now, someone has come to look for you, why don't you go back soon?" ”

After speaking, Professor Mi waved his hand, and Ding Xiaocong only felt a strong wind blowing in his face, which actually blew him into the air and fell into the abyss.

"Ahh Ding Xiaocong screamed loudly, sat up from the bed, and opened his eyes only to find that it was just a dream.

Ding Xiaocong covered his face and shook his head, smiling bitterly to himself, he and Professor Mi really had a strange fate. Master and apprentice, and according to Professor Mi, Ding Xiaocong is his only apprentice, but until now he doesn't know Professor Mi's name and where he lives.

Just as I was pondering, there was a quick knock on the door outside—bang, bang! "Rue Xiang's mother, open the door quickly, something is wrong!"

Looking out the window, the sky had just turned blue and not yet fully lit, that is, it was more than five o'clock, Ding Xiaocong was puzzled, could it be that something happened to Ruxiang's family again? Why did someone knock on the door so early?

"It's coming, it's coming." There was a sound of "tapping" footsteps outside, and Rue Xiangniang opened the latch while agreeing, "What's wrong?" I'm fine at home. ”

The person who came did not explain, but broke in directly and pushed open Ding Xiaocong's door.

It was a dark and thin man, about forty years old, thin and simple, after seeing Ding Xiaocong, he knelt down in front of him and cried: "Little master, please go and save my family." ”

Ding Xiaocong was dumbfounded, he suddenly realized that in the dream just now, Professor Mi said that someone was looking for him, but he didn't expect it to really happen! Is this a coincidence, or does Professor Mi really have a fairy-like supernatural power and give him a dream?

No, no, no! Mi Xiaojing shook his head, although Professor Mi's cultivation was like a mountain to him, it couldn't reach this level, right? It's also too exaggerated.

"It must be a coincidence, um......" Ding Xiaocong calmed down, jumped out of bed and put on his shoes, hurriedly helped the man up, and comforted: "Uncle, don't worry, talk slowly about something." ”

"Hey." The middle-aged man stood up crying, grabbed Ding Xiaocong's hand, and began to talk about what happened this morning.

The name of the person is Guo Jinshui, the head of the village, the couple has a middle-aged child, and there is a 12-year-old son under the knee, who is about to enter the fifth grade of primary school, and his nickname is Gensheng. This morning, Gensheng somehow got up early, saying that he was going to take a bath in the dam at the east end of the village, but the couple didn't take it seriously and agreed.

Who knows, something will happen.

The boy took a bath in the pond, and it was at most half an hour to go back and forth, but Gensheng went and didn't come back after an hour. The village chief and his wife felt that something was wrong, so they hurriedly put on their clothes and went to the pond to look for them, and sure enough, they found them.

At that time, in fact, it was 10 minutes ago, the sky outside was blue, half dark and not bright, and the couple had just come to the water's edge with a flashlight, and they saw a black shadow fluttering in the water, which looked like a child was drowning.

The two of them were scattered, and they threw themselves into the water and pulled them up to see that it was indeed their own son.

Supposedly, this is an ordinary child drowning incident, but what happened next is unusual. At that time, the village chief waded to the shore with his son, only to find that his son's leg seemed to be tripped by something, and at this time he didn't think elsewhere, there were aquatic plants in the water, and his son could swim, and if he didn't let the aquatic weeds wrap his legs, he wouldn't have drowned.

After the village chief carried his son to the shore, he found that his legs were entangled by the aquatic weeds, and he couldn't pull them open. But the problem is that after Gensheng came ashore, he was mentally abnormal, desperately kicking and beating his parents, rolling on the ground, and the couple couldn't hold him down.

Thinking of Ruxiang's incident, the village chief suspected that his son had hit an evil spirit, so he asked his wife to look at his son, and he hurriedly ran to find Ding Xiaocong.

When Ding Xiaocong heard that something was really wrong, he grabbed the bag containing his sister and tied it to his waist, didn't even bother to tie his shoelaces, and followed the old village chief to rush outside. From beginning to end, the village chief didn't let go of Ding Xiaocong's wrist, as if he was afraid that he would run away, so he basically dragged him away.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Ding Xiaocong suddenly thought of something, grabbed the door frame with his left hand, pulled the village chief to stop, looked back at Rue Xiangniang, and asked solemnly: "I seem to have heard you say, what dam did you go to before the accident?" ”

At this time, the opposite door was pushed open, and Rue Xiang, who had a haggard face, walked out, just in time to hear Ding Xiaocong's question, she took over the conversation and replied: "There is a dam in our village, and he ...... born from his roots."

"Let's go!" Without waiting for Rue Xiang to finish speaking, Ding Xiaocong turned around and pulled the village chief to run, it is very likely that these two things are related.
