The village has changed dramatically

On the way back, Xia Fan was excited, and he kept asking Gao Wenshan about his cultivation experience, and Gao Wenshan didn't bother him, so he answered them one by one.

For example, Xia Fan asked, "When will I be able to cultivate to the First Fire Realm? Gao Wenshan smiled: "Two or three years." ”

Xia Fan was taken aback: "Ah? It takes so long!" Then the mood was a little low.

Gao Wenshan said: "A talent like yours may not be shorter" Xia Fan hurriedly asked: "How short?"

Gao Wenshan thought for a while, suddenly stretched out his index finger and compared the length of his thumb, and said, "It's probably so short.."

Xia Fan: "? ”

The master and apprentice braved the rain and walked along, when suddenly, the dark clouds in the sky were unusually dark, and then the thunder was rolling, and after a while, the rain poured down, and when they saw that the rain was too heavy, they found a stone protruding from the cliff to shelter from the rain. But the rain became heavier and heavier, and Gao Wenshan suddenly said, "Xiao Fan, let's get out of here quickly." ”

Xia Fan knew that such a downpour and mudslide were very bad.

It was surprising that it rained so heavily for no apparent reason in April.

After a long time, he hurriedly stepped up and ran into the village. Before entering the village, he hurriedly planned to go back to his second uncle's house to avoid the rain.

But at this moment, Xia Fan suddenly heard a boiling in the village, looking for the sound of the past, it was the Tiezhu family courtyard, the door was crowded with people at this time, the small courtyard was also crowded, the bustling crowd surrounded the Tiezhu family, the rain became heavier and heavier, everyone was wet, but they all stood still, and the voice of speech was extremely noisy. Xia Fan hurriedly went up to join in the fun, but the night's cultivation was not lacking in tiredness, and it was very spiritual, Xia Fan's young heart was extremely fond of watching the excitement, completely ignoring the heavy rain, and it didn't matter if he was drenched in some rain, feeling the benefits of cultivation, Xia Fan was in a good mood.

Approaching the crowd, Xia Fan didn't know what was going on, and vaguely heard that there seemed to be a woman crying in the crowd? At this time, a young girl hurriedly came to Xia Fan, it was Xiaofeng, who was arranged by the second uncle to take care of Gao Wenshan that day!

Xiaofeng's face was anxious, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried. When he saw Xia Fan, he immediately rushed up - hugged Xia Fan's arm, but he completely ignored the girl's reserve. With a slight cry, he said, "Little Friar, save Xiuxia quickly!"

Xia Fan, who didn't know the situation yet, was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Feng was a little incoherent, and stammered: "They, they want to throw Xiuxia into the river!"

Xia Fan was shocked and said: "What? ! ! !"

Xiaofeng hurriedly explained, only to hear Xia Fan extremely angry. scolded: "Damn, why are they all stupid?"

It turned out that yesterday evening, the old wizard in the village predicted that a natural disaster in the village was coming in the near future, and the flood would be flooded, and no one in Lijia Village would be spared. The only solution is to sacrifice the virgin born when a son is born! And only Xiuxia was born when she was a child in the whole village! Xia Fan sneered when he heard Xiaofeng. Xin said: "True, feudal superstition kills people!" I couldn't help but scold again: "Fart!"

Knowing the reason, Xia Fan hurriedly pushed aside the crowd, but unexpectedly squeezed to the front row with great effort, and the scene in front of him made Xia Fan's heart instantly cold.

The girl who took care of herself all the way has been locked in a bamboo cage at this moment, and the rain is falling from Xiuxia's cheeks one by one, hitting her dry and somewhat pale lips, her hair is messy, and there are no shoes on her feet, Xia Fan was shocked in his heart, What happened to this girl?

Xiuxia stayed quietly in the cage like this, not saying a word, her face was like ashes, she was really pitiful. Lin Xiaolan sat down next to the bamboo cage and shed tears, sobbing, completely lacking the demeanor of everyone when they first met, letting the rain and tears intertwine. Tiezhu clenched his fists tightly and said nothing, and the blood in his hands fell to the ground along the rain.

At this time, I saw an old woman of sixty or seventy years old standing next to the second uncle, with an old face, extremely ugly, covered in a black robe, wrapped herself tightly, and her hair could not be exposed. There is a pattern on his forehead that Xia Fan can't understand, thinking that this old woman is the wizard in Xiaofeng's mouth.

The old witch was now mindful of words, but the cane in her hand pointed to the sky from time to time.

Xia Fan looked at the wizard who didn't know where he came from, and then looked at the miserable appearance of the Tiezhu family, he was angry, he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Dead old woman, why do you want to throw Xiuxia into the river?"

Hearing Xia Fan's roar, there was no sound in the crowd in an instant, and everyone in a panic looked for the source of the roar, and saw that it was a strange boy who had just entered the village yesterday. Tie Zhu saw that it was Xia Fan and was trying to dissuade him.

For the first time in her life, the old wizard heard someone dare to call her an old woman, and she couldn't help but be furious, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she shouted sternly: "Where did you come from, wild boy, there is no place for you to speak here!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the second uncle hurriedly pulled the corner of the wizard's clothes, and quickly explained to the wizard's ear that the old wizard listened, and immediately softened his expression a lot, and said, "Master Xia, you are a guest, please don't interfere."

The matter of Lijia Village is not beneficial to Gongzi at all. ”

Xia Fan retorted: "The flood is overflowing, the river embankment should be repaired, is it just enough to throw people into the river?"

The second uncle interjected: "Xia Gongzi doesn't know, the river god is angry, and a woman must sacrifice to the river god to calm down!" Xia Fan sneered and said, "Nonsense, where is the river god in this world? What is the river god?" Fu said to the villagers: "Have any of you ever seen the so-called river god? “

"Boom"

Suddenly, a thunderclap passed through the sky, and the rain fell even more unscrupulously. The old wizard was shocked, and kept shouting, "The gods are angry?" The old witch quickly knelt on the ground, her body trembling.

In an instant, except for Gao Wenshan, and Xiaofeng, everyone also knelt on the ground in fright, Tiezhu, Lin Xiaolan, and even Xiuxia in the bamboo cage hurriedly knelt on the ground, and threw her body to the ground, Xiaofeng's parents hurriedly dragged Xiaofeng down and knelt on the ground when they saw this.

Only Gao Wenshan looked at Xia Fan and sighed helplessly, but he was extremely pleased. Xin said: "This kid is very bold! It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he dares to say anything." He smiled knowingly and said, "This kid is very good to my taste, very good, very good." ”

Xia Fan looked at everything in front of him and was at a loss for a while.

The wizard hurriedly said to the heavens: "Lord River God, this kid is not from his own clan, if you want to blame him, blame him." ”

Xia Fan became even more angry when he heard this, and was about to scold, only to hear the other villagers imitate the wizard's words and chant together. Even Tie Zhu hurriedly said, "Young Master Xia, don't talk nonsense. ”

Xia Fan was stunned, he didn't understand why Uncle Tiezhu, who was like a god of heaven yesterday, actually believed in this so-called river god! Xia Fan looked up at the sky, and Mu Ne said, "Am I wrong?"

Let the heavy rain erode the whole body, the whole body was extremely cold, only the red light flashing in the heart, that was the only warmth left in Xia Fan at the moment.

Gao Wenshan patted Xia Fan lightly on the shoulder and said, "You are indeed wrong, not because of your thoughts, but because you don't have the strength to solve the problem." ”
