Chapter Seventy-Six: Distress
"Oh? Who is the second-generation sect leader? How godly are there? Lin Fan asked curiously.
Hu Yongsheng stopped, thought about it seriously and said: "The second-generation sect leader seems to be surnamed Xu, called Xu Fu, just like the name of the immortal in the Qin Dynasty, you say it's not a coincidence!" ”
Lin Fan stopped and asked in a daze, "What do you say his name is?!" ”
"Xu Fu? It is Xu Fu who went to sea in the Qin Dynasty to seek the elixir of life, and the name is exactly the same! What's the matter, Lord Lin, do you know him? ”
Lin Fan unconsciously clenched his fists, then released them, took a deep breath and said, "I know, but I'm not familiar with it, you tell me what kind of magic method he has?" ”
Hu Yongsheng smiled innocently: "Actually, this is not a secret, every household in Pingshan Town basically knows it." Saying that more than 80 years ago......"
As soon as Hu Yongsheng heard this, he immediately became energetic, and told Lin Fan the legendary story of Xu Fu endlessly.
During the turbulent years a hundred years ago, foreign missionaries came to Pingshan Town to preach, and later somehow became foreign doctors, and the Holy Light Sect also became the Holy Spring Sect, but fortunately, he saw that the common people liked the church from the bottom of their hearts, so it didn't matter.
During that time, he adopted a war orphan and taught him all kinds of advanced Western knowledge that he had learned all his life, and he did not disappoint Dr. Yang, who mastered all the knowledge of Dr. Yang in a few years, and even put forward some ideas that he had not thought about. Doctor Yang sometimes even feels like he was born for this boy. It seems that when he came to China to preach, meeting this boy and teaching him was the purpose of his birth.
During his time in China, he learned many interesting stories and legends about this land through communication with the townspeople, among which his favorite was the legend of Xu Fu going to sea to find immortal medicine, because he felt that it was very similar to Columbus and very romantic. So he named the little boy after that.
After Dr. Yang passed away, Xu Fu succeeded him as the second pastor of the Holy Spring Sect, and it was at this time that the Holy Spring Sect gradually expanded its influence because of his various performances, and was finally called the Holy Spring Sect by the townspeople, and he became the sect leader.
According to the town's elders, Xu Fu was in his early forties when he took over the church, but he still looked like a young man in his twenties. He treated the people in the church and sometimes taught the town children to read and write.
Originally, his behavior seemed to be at most a high-level intellectual supporting the township, until something happened later.
It was Chinese New Year's Eve, which was supposed to be a day of joy and joy for the family, but now it was a nightmare hidden in the hearts of the villagers of Pingshan Town.
It snowed heavily on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, and under the well-organized governance of the Dragon Group, the people in China returned to the scene of living and working in peace and contentment. However, the little stone family was not happy, and his father went up the mountain early in the morning to hunt game in order to add some meat to the family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but he was about to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and no one came back.
Shi's mother was a little anxious, worried about whether her man had encountered any danger on the mountain, but after thinking about it, there were people from the church on the mountain, even if something happened to the family, it was always okay to ask for help.
There are still three little ones in the family to bring, and the food on the pot has to be watched, so Shi's mother found the eldest of the brothers and sisters, Xiao Shi, and said.
"You take the flashlight at home and go up the mountain to find your dad, don't be confused by anything if you haven't come back for so long."
Xiao Shi was going to go out to have fun with his friends, but he had to give up when his mother shouted at him, and he was also curious why his father didn't come back so late, but since there was a church on the mountain, it was rare to hear of someone hunting and being injured by wild beasts, even if he was injured, he would be sent to the church for treatment as soon as possible.
But who made him the eldest son of the family, although he reluctantly went out with a flashlight, but he was still more worried about his father.
He went up the hill along the road used to be taken by the townspeople, and because it was dark, he went up much slower than during the day, and at night there were wild beasts in the woods, so he did not dare to shout his father's name too loudly, for fear of startling any animal.
"Abba......" Little Stone looked around vigilantly and whispered to his father.
Fortunately, there were no bushes in the forest where the beasts could hide, and by the light before the sun set, the vision was okay, but the dim forest had an indescribable eerie feeling.
"Big Stone ......"
His shouts echoed silently in the mountains and forests, and there was no response. He climbed higher and higher, and he could even see the whole view of the town through the gaps in the trees.
It stands to reason that it is just to hunt some pheasants and hares, and there is no need to climb so high, and the small animals in such a high position do not come back, if they encounter wild boars, it will be troublesome.
After all, part of everyone's impression of wild boars comes from domestic pigs, and wild boars in the mountains are real beasts, and an unarmed adult has to peel off the skin even if he is not dead.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi was a little scared, he remembered that the adults said that the church was also on the hillside, and his parents had taken care of him before, and if he encountered difficulties, he could go to the church to find Xu Dada.
He grabbed his flashlight and ran wildly in the direction of the church, the leaves in the forest rustling under the sound of his hurried footsteps.
Suddenly, he tripped over something under his feet, and the whole person rolled and flew out. When he came back to his senses clutching his broken knees, he shone a flashlight at the place where he had just fallen.
A familiar figure was lying on the ground, his back had been bitten by some animal, the blood had long since dried up and coagulated, and the wound was deep and bone-seeing.
"Abba?" Xiao Shi couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe that the person lying on the ground was the Abba who was fierce every day but loved him very much.
In his heart, Abba is omnipotent and invincible! How could it fall?!
Although he was still a child, he instinctively felt that with such a serious injury, his father was probably more than lucky.
He didn't care about the pain, ran to his father's side, looked at the wound on his back and didn't dare to shake, he could only pat his father's arm and father's face from the side.
"Abba, wake up, do you have a word?! Abba! ”
The father did not respond.
He picked up his father's heavy head and looked at the face as dead as ashes, he panicked, he slapped his father's face and arms vigorously, but there was no response.
"That's right! Mom said, if you have difficulties, look for Xu Dada! Abba, I'll take you to Xu Dada! ”
The little stone tried to drag his father's body, and he only moved a little bit with all his strength, so that he didn't know when he would be able to drag it to the church.
Tears blurred his eyes, and he wiped away the tears and snot with his sleeve, and ran in the direction of the church without looking back, as if he had made up his mind.
