Three o'clock in the afternoon

Gao Wenshan remembered very clearly, Xia Fan said that he came here because of a long sword, and if Xia Fan wanted to go back, he had to find the sword in the first step to know the reason, and then make plans, that is to say, that sword was the key to the problem, no wonder Xia Fan's expression just now was too excited. He said in a deep voice, "Are you sure? ”

Xia Fan was stunned, then calmed down, and hurriedly stopped Gao Wenshan and said: "Master, I'm not very sure, it's just very similar, I remember very clearly, there are two words engraved on that sword." ”

Gao Wenshan asked, "Which two words?"

Xia Fan had a puzzled expression on his face and said, "It's strange to say, the words on that sword are exactly the same as my friend's name!" Gao Wenshan said in surprise, "Oh?" Fu said again: "Can you just take a look at that sword?"

Xia Fan looked disgusted and said, "Master, there are so many people, you go and bring other people's totems, is this okay?"

Gao Wenshan seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Xia Fan's attitude, and said calmly: "So what? ”

Xia Fan was a little dissatisfied with Gao Wenshan's statement, frowned and said, "Isn't everyone the same?"

Gao Wenshan immediately straightened his face and said, "Where is it, Xiao Fan, you are now a monk, they are mortals, understand?"

Seeing that Gao Wenshan was displeased, he changed his words and hurriedly said: "I know that the master is very powerful, but I think it's really bad like this! ”

Gao Wenshan snorted unhappily. Seeing that Xia Fan is so indecisive, he really doesn't look like him at all. I think that as long as I look at something I saw at the beginning, no matter what the consequences, I can always get it. It's a bit overbearing, but as long as you don't do anything despicable, so what?

Although Xia Fan was very excited at the moment, he still felt that he had gone to get other people's things for no reason, so what was the difference between him and a robber? Besides, what if he found the sword?

Feeling that he seemed to have made the master unhappy, he hurriedly smiled sweetly at Gao Wenshan, dragged the corner of Gao Wenshan and shook it, and said, "Master, don't be angry, it's important to save people." Okay, okay?"

Gao Wenshan was taken aback by Xia Fan's actions, goosebumps all over his body, and he suddenly trembled.

Wait until the iron pillar respectfully places the sword with the scabbard on the existing shelf, puts on the pillar incense, makes a bow, and bows down, and then completes the task.

With the witch in the upper position shouting "Rise!"

The iron pillar and the seven strong men attached a piece of long wood prepared in advance to the bamboo cage containing Xiuxia. The first four and the last four. On top of the bamboo cage, a huge red cloth covered it. The dragon head and tail carved from the wood were also embedded at both ends of the wood. At the same time, they carried the bamboo cage together and slowly walked out of the hall.

Xia Fan sighed: "Although this ceremony is grand, it is a little sad. ”

Along the way, the second uncle and the witch walked in the front, and every thirty-three steps had to stop, kneel three times and bow nine times, and there were words in their mouths, and after a while, they were covered in mud. The bamboo cage team led by the iron pillar was in front, and the villagers followed behind. Xia Fan didn't want to follow the team, so he walked very fast, but when he passed by the iron pillar beside him, he was stopped by the iron pillar softly, and said worriedly: "Xiao Fan, help me take care of Xiaolan." ”

Xia Fan nodded knowingly and walked straight to the river.

Xiaofeng, along with several girls of the same age, picked up the scattered flowers in the bamboo cage as they walked, and held them in their arms, even if their clothes were soiled by muddy water. Xiaofeng cried like a tearful child, and it was really not a happy thing to see her best playmate on the road.

Xia Fan was incredulous, and said in surprise: "It's strange, so many people don't have an umbrella!" Thinking to himself about such a heavy rain, aren't these people afraid of catching a cold?

For a moment, Xia Fan thought to himself: "If I don't know the truth, will I go with the flow today?"

When we arrived at the river, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Xia Fan saw a small bamboo raft parked by the river, presumably, this is Xiuxia's final destination! Every time the thunder sounds, Xia Fan's heart will tremble, and he is worried that nothing will go wrong.

The downpour of rain for a day and night made the originally calm and slow-flowing river become turbid, and the river water like a huge thunder swept like thousands of horses on the ground, rushing downstream in the shouts and neighing. The surging waters surged like raging lions, the surging flood howled and poured in, and the wind roared as if it were about to devour everything.

Suddenly, I found that the originally calm river in front of me had turned into a crazy appearance, and the tide was crashing on the embankment, rolling up huge waves, and the poor embankment seemed to be unable to stop the power of the flood soon. The hearts of the people became more and more worried, and everyone was looking forward to it. But what are you looking forward to? Is this expectation really useful? Xia Fan couldn't help but sneer, "It's just throwing an innocent girl into the raging river!"

Seeing that the afternoon was about to come at three o'clock, the old witch took out a wad of yellow papyrus and lit it, and when it was burned to ashes, she scattered the ashes in the river. He danced at the river sailor and sang a spell that no one could understand. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said happily to everyone: "The river god already knows everyone's intentions, and when the three o'clock in the afternoon arrives, quickly give the sacrifice to the river god." ”

Xia Fan saw that the old witch used the fire fold that is often found on TV when she burned the paper, and felt funny: "It's still easy to use a lighter." But he was suddenly surprised, "Yellow paper? How is it possible? In this 130,000-year historical blank period, there is paper?!! papermaking technology was not invented by Cai Lun of the Western Han Dynasty?"

Daddy, you'd be amazed!

Sure enough, Dad's conjecture was not wrong, for such a long time, human civilization would inevitably develop rapidly, but why didn't it pass it on? What happened in the past 130,000 years? Then I thought, if Xia Guangxing knew that he had become a monk, would he be scared to death? Haha. If one day I went back to my father and told him about it, would he believe it?"

Just when Xia Fan took the long exam, Tie Zhu and the others had already released Xiuxia from the cage and placed it on the bamboo raft that had already been parked, and the red cloth when the bamboo raft was paved, Xiaofeng and the other girls slowly put the flower branches in their arms and in the bamboo cage beside Xiuxia. When Xiao Feng approached the bamboo raft, he found that the few bamboo rafts made of bamboo were all tied with ropes, and they were all slipknots! Xiaofeng couldn't hold back anymore, so she was about to rush up and hug Xiuxia.

But he was grabbed by Li Laishun, who was quick-eyed: "Be bold, don't retreat!"

Suddenly being caught, Xiaofeng struggled violently in Li Laishun's hands, grabbed it with both hands, Li Laishun was careless for a while, and Xiaofeng grabbed a few blood marks on his face.

Xiaofeng shouted loudly: "Uncle Tiezhu, save Xiuxia!"

Li Laishun was angry when he boarded, and suddenly snapped twice! Without saying a word, he slapped Xiaofeng twice, and when he saw that he was about to raise his hand again, Xiaofeng covered his face, but he didn't dare to dodge.

"Stop" Xiuxia's hoarse voice sounded, and when she heard that it was Xiuxia who spoke, Li Laishun gave up and threw Xiaofeng aside. But still uneasy, he looked at the direction of Tiezhu again, and saw that Tiezhu's face was indifferent, and he wondered in his heart: "How can the thief Tiezhu still endure it, doesn't he plan to save his daughter?"
