Chapter Seventy-Six: The Ancient River

I said in my heart, on the other side of the Yellow River is Gaojia Village, what is this old fox doing in Gaojia Village? Seeing him sneaky like that, it's probably not a good thing...

When I looked at the long grass, I saw the figure of the old fox jumping high and low in the grass, flickering and flickering.

"Let's go with him." I leaned over Miss Bai's ear and whispered.

Under the cover of the long grass, we followed the old fox from a distance. The wind was very strong on the river beach, and the grass was 'whirring and lala', and the old fox should not have noticed that someone was following him. After walking about half a mile to the east, the old fox suddenly stopped, turned sideways, and startled me and Miss Bai at the same time. I thought I had been revealed, but as soon as I gritted my teeth, I was about to stand up and meet him, when I saw the old fox bending over and bending his knees, and jumping over a small pond formed by rainwater, and a few ups and downs overturned the embankment of the Yellow River, and the bridge where Miss Bai and I could not see.

"Let's go, keep chasing!"

Crossing the river embankment is a small road, walking along the path for a while, only to see a large cemetery in the distance on the left, under the moonlight, the old fox kneeling in the middle of the cemetery, facing the south, is facing the moon to worship, the thin figure is pulled by the moonlight, it looks very strange.

I couldn't help but think of the legend of the 'fox worshipping the moon', and I said, is this old fox not a human at all, but a fox that has cultivated a human form? … Miss Bai and I were both very nervous, and our palms were sweaty from the hands we held together. I fixed my mind, pulled Miss Bai, cautiously sneaked over, hid behind a big tomb, looked at it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that the old fox was not worshipping the moon at all, but worshipping a tomb.

The tomb was much smaller than the four nearby tombs, and had been blocked by him before, and it could not be seen far away, as if he were worshipping the moon.

The old fox bowed for a while, stopped, and said to the grave, "Dad, you have a spirit in the sky, bless me to find that thing..."

Stuff? What is it? … I quickly turned my thoughts, and it seemed that the old fox had crossed the river in search of something. The old fox couldn't speak clearly, and he called 'Daddy' at the grave, which I heard as 'shoes'. The old fox said to the grave for a while, and I understood a rough idea, it turned out that this was Xu Xiangqian's grave. I have a feeling of crying and laughing, and my heart said, this old fox doesn't recognize his younger brother Gao Laosan, and even his father Xu Xiangqian's clothes and mounds have to be set up separately, and Gao Laosan and Gao Laosan have made one by one...

Listening to the meaning of the old fox's words, he was looking for something to deal with the river god in the reservoir. It rained continuously, the soil in the cemetery was very soft, because of the listening attention, I didn't feel that my feet were sinking, when I felt that something was wrong, it was too late, my body leaned up, my center of gravity was unstable, my hand waved a few times, Miss Bai hurriedly pulled me, did not pull, but was taken by me and fell to the ground.

"Who?" The old fox jumped up.

"It's us."

Miss Bai pulled me and the two of them stood up. The old fox shot two fine lights out of his small eyes and looked us up and down.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Uncle, I've heard it all, what are you looking for? Say it and we'll help you find it. I said.

"This, no matter (about) your business, you still have to hurry up."

"Why isn't it our business?" I snorted, "Why, don't you still believe us?" ”

The old fox shook his head.

"Then why isn't it our business?"

"You better go, I said I don't care about your business, I don't care about your business." The old fox turned to look at the moon.

"Okay, let's go, but we have to do one thing before we go."

"What's the matter?" The old fox turned around.

"Call the police." I spread my hands and sighed, "Confess everything we know, after all, it is a legal society, although Gao Xiaowen is innocent, but he also has to be dealt with by the judicial department, and someone has a private affair and scares him to death." If it's our own person, we help this person hide and talk about the past, and now people treat us as outsiders and want to drive us away, so what else is there to say, everyone breaks up..."

Before I finished speaking, the old fox took a step forward, "You dare! ”

"What's not to dare?" My jaw straightened, "Do you want us to stay and work with you to find something to deal with the river god, or do you want us to call the police and arrest you?" ”

The old fox sneered, "I'll catch you first." ”

"Do you think we are Uncle Yang?" I smiled, "You can scratch and try." ”

The old fox lunged at me, grabbed my arm, and I jerked back, but did not twitch, so I bowed and kicked the old fox in the lower abdomen. The old fox was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand and stepped back, Miss Bai was already waiting there, reaching out and grabbing his two wrists, locking them behind his back, and his knees against his waist. Miss Bai's method of locking people and taking people is very clever, and the old fox struggles violently, but he can't break free, so he doesn't move.

"Uncle, tell us, what are you looking for, we will help you find it, one more person and more strength, I know that the reason why you let us go is for the sake of our safety, but when the river god is born, if the Yellow River floods like the legend, more people will die..."

"Ugh..."

The old fox sighed, lowered his head, and I glanced at Miss Bai, who slowly let go of her hand.

"What I'm looking for is something left by Dayu (Yu) back then..."

The old fox said that after the legend Dayu put the river god in the Yellow River, in addition to sending the nine-tailed fox to guard the river god, he also buried two things on the beach of the Yellow River, one is a turtle shell engraved with the five elements of secret arts, and the other is a map of the ancient river. I don't know for what purpose, Dayu did not append the method of dealing with the river god with the secret technique of the five elements, but appended it on the river map. For thousands of years, many people who heard this legend and story ran to the river beach around Qingshi Town to look for these two things, but no one found them, until later, Xu Xiangqian dug up the turtle shell under the guidance of the fox fairy, but the river map has never been missing...

"So, what are you looking for?" I asked.

"Hmm."

"Could it be that the picture is on the other side of the Yellow River?" I glanced north.

Lao Hu said that he suspected that the picture was in Gaojia Village, because, in the barren land of Gaojia Village (which he roughly meant), there was actually a capable person in the Ming Dynasty to help the imperial court control the floods of the Yellow River. The 'capable man' that the old fox said was the tall man buried in the ancestral grave of Gaojia Village. The old fox thought that the tall man might have obtained the map of the ancient river. It is said that Master Gao was promoted because of the management of floods, and what is even more strange is that when Xu Xiangqian was alive, he told SΓΉ Laohu that Lord Gao's name was not recorded in history... The old fox thinks that there must be a lot of articles here, if the river map is really obtained by the tall man, he will return to his hometown and may bring it back to Gaojia Village...

Miss Bai and I were stunned when we heard it, and I said in my heart, how can this kind of myth and legend be completely taken seriously, just a 'suspicion in Gaojia Village', so I ran over to find it, who knows if there is such a picture? However, having said that, the so-called dead horse is a live horse doctor, instead of being helpless and waiting for the river god to be born (if the reservoir thing is really the river god), it is better to help this old fox go to Gaojia Village to find it, what if there is really such a picture? …

"Ah, I see!" My eyes suddenly lit up, and I said to the old fox, "Fox, the fox in the reeds of Gaojia Village is also helping you find this picture, right?" ”

"How do you know?" The old fox was stunned.

I said in my heart, no wonder the fox lured Zhao Yinyang to dig open the ancestral grave of the Gao family, it turned out to help the old fox find the picture, maybe because the picture was not found, in order to vent its anger, so it stole the skull, is this the specific reason, I just guessed, the fox's mind, how can I find it thoroughly? The old fox said that the fox who helped him bite the rope for Xu Xiangqian back then had long since died of old age, and now the fox in the reeds is the descendant of the previous fox...

After discussing it, we decided to go to Gaojia Village with Lao Hu early tomorrow morning to look for the legendary river map, I don't know if there is one...

"Is this how the blue sky and the white sun house (broad daylight) are you going to find it?" The old fox said.

"What are you afraid of?" I smiled, "Whoever dares to say a word from those bastards in Gaojia Village, I will break their teeth one by one." ”

That night, the old fox went to the hotel with us again. I woke up Xiang Feng and Yang Shujun who were sleeping soundly, and told them the ins and outs and my thoughts.

"Okay, that's it." Yang Shujun slapped his thigh and yawned, "Cross the river tomorrow and come back... Yes... Go back to Gaojia Village. ”

"Uncle Yang doesn't have to go." I say.

"Why?" Yang Shujun asked.

I smiled slightly and pointed to the wall, "You can take these Yang Sect female generals next door to go back first, the people of Gaojia Village are so barbaric, in case of conflict again, you have to protect them." ”

"His grandmother's." Yang Shujun scolded with a smile, "Why did you become our Yang Sect female general?" It's obviously your cold family girl, right? ”

"What, boiled girl, boiled girl? Do you bring anything to eat on the road? The old fox sat up.

"No, we're kidding." I laughed and said, "Uncle, let's go back to sleep." ”

"Wow..."

The old fox curled up at the foot of the bed and fell asleep again. His sleeping position is both funny and pitiful.

"Okay." Yang Shujun said, "I'll take them away, but Xiaobai doesn't have to go, she is so good, let her go with you." ”

"Then it's up to her." I smiled.

"What else does she mean, I'm sure I'll go with you..."

Sure enough, as soon as I talked to the three of them the next day, Miss Bai thought about it and said, I'll go with you, one more person will do more. Little Tutu pouted and kicked his legs repeatedly, "Do I want to go too..."

Yang Shujun coaxed her like a child, and I couldn't help but be happy. After Yang Shujun and the three left, we each ate something, ran to the Zhendong Reservoir to have a look, and then packed our bags and went out.

Thank you for the brave new crown
