Chapter 81: Salvaging the Shipwreck
Facing the vicious middle-aged man, Xiao Yanzi was speechless for a while. As he went down to the lake, he did hear the screams of a woman, who was probably a member of the man's family, and when they saw him naked, they mistakenly thought that he was a hooligan, but they did not mean to accuse him.
At this moment, the old man who had sunk the ship stepped forward and said, "Reckless, reckless!" This strong man, when my boat sank in the lake, once saved my daughter, and I don't think he is a serious person. What is going on, you will allow him to say what is going on. ”
As he spoke, he pulled away Damang's hand that was holding Xiao Yanzi's arm.
Da Mang reluctantly let go of Xiao Yinzi, but stared at him angrily, waiting for him to explain.
Xiao Yanzi said: "Everyone, you rushed over in a hurry, you should have heard the movement here. That deafening explosion was made when I killed the water demon. The water demon blew itself up, stirring up a column of water that soared into the sky, as you must have seen. ”
The old man who sank the ship grabbed Xiao Yanzi's arm and asked, "Strong man, there is indeed a water demon here, and you really destroyed it?" ”
"Uncle, your boat capsized and sank for no reason, not for no reason, so I believe that there is a water demon in this lake." Xiao Yanzi calmly responded, "Since I know, I can't let it continue to harm people, so I dared to go down to the lake and destroy it." You see, its body has exploded, and the lake is full of its flesh and blood, as well as some fish, turtles, shrimps, and crabs that have been blown up. ”
When everyone heard him say this, they couldn't believe it. In order to verify it, several young adults jumped off the lake and swam around, grabbed some fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs that were blown up and came back, and talked to everyone for a while.
A young man who looks ordinary has the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, which is really amazing!
After sighing, a group of people thanked Xiao Yanzi one after another.
But the little man said: "Everyone, I have destroyed a big demon now, and there are many small demons in the lake, and I plan to kill them tomorrow." When I went down to the lake, I put my clothes on the branches, and now I go and take them off. ”
As he spoke, he jumped onto the branches.
Da Mang hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a ashamed face: "Brother, your clothes, ah, and a cloth bag, I will take them home, so I will go home and bring them to you." ”
When the old man on the shipwreck heard this, he reprimanded with a straight face: "Da Mang, do you really think that this strong man is a hooligan, so he secretly took away other people's belongings and clothes?" You can do such a shameful thing! ”
Da Mang was reprimanded speechless and left in a hurry.
The old man who wrecked the ship said, "Strong man, you can go to my house tonight." You killed the water demon, you are the benefactor of all our lakeside people, we have nothing to repay, but we still have food and shelter. ”
Everyone echoed: "Yes, strong man, you must be polite to us." The fish we caught during the day were very fresh, and there were other dishes, you can just say what you want to eat! ”
After a while, Da Mang took back Xiao Yanzi's clothes. The little man put on his clothes, and everyone surrounded him and walked towards the village.
On this night, everyone brought their own fresh dishes, gathered at the old man's house on the shipwreck, and drank and talked with the little man warmly, and chatted for most of the night.
Early the next morning, under the admiring and somewhat loving eyes of the old man's daughter, the little man went to the lake to kill the little demon. When he came to the lake, he saw that some people were already busy fishing for the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs that had been blown up in the lake. The villagers are living a tight life, and they are unwilling to spoil any food, so they plan to take these fish, turtles, shrimps, crabs back and pickle them to eat.
Xiao Yanzi found a place where no one was, took off his clothes and went down to the lake, sank to the bottom of the lake, and went into the cracks in the ground to find the little demon.
The big demon was destroyed, and the little demons all shrank in the cracks of the ground and didn't dare to come out.
It is difficult for the little demon to kill the big demon, but it is very easy to kill these little demons, a finger sword can kill a little demon, and it will not take long for these little demons to die.
Coming out of the cracks in the ground, Xiao Yanzi did not jump out of the lake, but groped his way to the place where the old man wrecked, intending to fish out the wreck.
The old man's father and daughter have no other livelihood, they all rely on fishing to survive, this boat is the life of the family, and its value is immeasurable for them.
After searching for a long time, Xiao Yanzi finally saw the boat that was half-sunk in the mud at the bottom of the lake.
He didn't have the confidence to pick up a boat alone, so he hurriedly asked Hongrui for help: "Great god, I want to pick up this boat and relieve the distress of the old man's family, can you help me?" ”
When he killed the fierce beasts sacrificed by the Great Demon of Huanshan, Hongrui once held him in the air, which shows Hongrui's ability to lift up, and it is expected that Hongrui will have no problem helping him hold up a boat.
Hongrui responded: "Well, helping the needy, this is the duty of the great god, I am willing to help you!" ”
Xiao Yanzi thanked Hongrui, immediately came to the side of the boat, gently shook the hull of the boat, so that it was no longer so tightly bonded to the silt, and then grabbed the boat with both hands, gritted his teeth and forced, vigorously lifted up, and stepped on the water with both legs, slowly rising.
Before the tea was ready, the little man lifted the boat to the surface of the water, then flattened the boat and pushed it towards the lake.
Those who were fishing for fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs were stunned one by one when they saw Xiao Yanzi scooping up the sunken ship alone. After thinking about it, he was suddenly relieved - a person who can easily kill even a water demon, what is there to make a fuss about picking up a sunken ship?
They lamented that the old man who had sunk the ship was blessed to have met the little man in distress.
When the little man pushed the boat to the lake, the old man who had sunk the ship happened to come here. When the old man saw that Xiao Yinzi had salvaged his wreck alone, he was on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Yinzi.
The little man hurriedly jumped ashore, picked up the old man, and was about to comfort him with a few words, when he suddenly realized that he had no clothes on, so he smiled awkwardly, and hurried to find clothes to put on, and then returned.
The old man grabbed the little man's hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Strong man, you are the life-saving benefactor of the old man's father and daughter!" ”
As he spoke, he bent his legs and knelt down again.
Xiao Yanzi hurriedly supported him and said, "Uncle, don't be so polite. This boat, if I don't help you catch it, you will also find someone to catch it, and whoever catches it is not the same? ”
The old man responded: "Strong man, that's not what you said. Originally, I also wanted to hire a few people to fish for it, but it was not so easy to fish for boats, and ordinary people were reluctant to do it, even if they were willing to do it, they had to ask for high wages. Old man, I usually rely on fishing to make a living, earning a small amount of money, only enough for the father and daughter to live, where can I afford to pay those wages? Alas, at the critical moment, a penny suffocates a hero, not to mention that the old man is not a hero! ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yanzi felt sorry in his heart, and he was speechless for a while.
The old man was grateful for the grace of Xiao Yinzi to salvage the sunken ship, and he had to leave him at home for lunch. The little man was just the old man's hospitality, so he had to agree.
Poor people know how to be grateful best, and Xiaoyinzi is also from a poor background, and he has a deep understanding of this.
During the meal, many people came to the old man's house, and those people still brought some sumptuous meals, and said to the old man while eating: "Uncle, you don't know what virtues you have accumulated in your previous life, but you actually met a noble person when you encountered trouble this time!" ”
The old man said with tears in his eyes: "Not only do I accumulate virtue myself, don't you also accumulate some virtue?" Otherwise, how could the water demon that was the common scourge of us let this strong man be wiped out so quickly? From this point of view, we all accumulate more virtue and do less evil, don't you say? ”
"Naturally, this is the reason, and the most important thing to do is to be grateful." Those people responded, "This strong man is our benefactor, but until now, we don't even know his name and surname, and we can't do it if we want to set up an offering tablet at home, how can we feel his kindness?" ”
