"Head?

Just as he was startled, there was another movement in the water, a rapid gasp and a cry for help. His voice was weakened and he seemed short of breath.

Wang Dashi withdrew his body and looked at it, and there was a person in the lake who was half composed.

"It's not dead yet!" Wang Dashi shouted.

Wen Qingqing looked at the man in the lake intently, startled: "Ah- yes, yes, it's him-" looked very surprised. Suddenly feeling scared, he pulled the corner of Wang Dashi's clothes.

Wang Dashi didn't know who Wen Qingqing was talking about, but when he saw that the person in the water surfaced again, he only shouted: "Help, life-" Before he could fully shout, "Gollum...... Gollum ...... "Stuffed in the water again."

Wen Qingqing pointed to the figure in the water: "It's him, it's Mr. Feng Shui found in the village, and he is the one who wants to kill me!"

This reminder, Wang Dashi suddenly remembered, it turned out to be Feng Lingxiao. Gao Datong and the villagers found out that he was an impostor, tied his hands and feet and threw him into the water of Dongyang Lake, I don't know if the sky will not destroy him, or if the time of death has not arrived, but he did not drown.

Wang Dashi sighed and lifted him ashore from the water.

Feng Lingxiao's lips were purple from the cold, he shivered all over, spit out the water in his stomach, opened his eyes after a while, and saw that the person who saved him was Wang Dashi, and immediately knelt down: "Big, uncle, spare your life, spare your life!"

"Why did you call the uncle, hehe......" Wang Dashi laughed secretly and said: "If you deceive again, no one can save you, so you can do it yourself!"

Wen Qingqing hated the wind and the sky, looked at Wang Dashi, and said: "This kind of character is unforgivable, it was one of his lies that almost killed me!"

Feng Lingxiao moved his body to turn to Wen Qingqing, he had no strength, he fell to the ground with a pop, and then slowed down for a while before getting up, begging for mercy: "Aunt, girl's family, it's my fault, please forgive me!"

Wang Dashi said: "Wen Qingqing, he has been flooded for a long time and drank a stomach of water, this time it is a lesson for him!"

Wen Qingqing nodded: "Hmm!" suddenly remembered her dead father and cried again.

Feng Lingxiao kowtowed again and again: "Thank you, thank you for saving you, thank you for saving you......!"

"You don't have to repay this kindness, as long as you don't deceive in the future, don't do evil, it's your own practice!" Wang Dashi said, untying the ropes from his feet.

Feng Lingxiao kowtowed again to thank him, got up from the ground slowly, and limped away.

Wang Dashi said to Wen Qingqing: "At that time, the villagers tied his hands and feet and threw him into Dongyang Lake, but they did not drown him, which can be regarded as his luck and God's warning to him!"

Wen Qingqing wiped away her tears and said, "I didn't expect you to be a really good person!"

Wang Dashi looked at her and smiled.

The two chatted while walking, time passed little by little, their footsteps kept moving forward, and before they knew it, they had walked far, far away, and when they looked up, rows of houses appeared in front of them.

Wang Dashi felt strange when he saw these houses, and thought to himself, Qingshiwa Village is so big, and there are still Renzhuang villages so far away, but he didn't know that this was already a village two villages apart.

There is no mountain plateau in the distance, only Dongyang Lake within a radius of more than ten miles. Qingshiwa Village is rooted on the hillside, the hillside is undulating, and the village is built according to the slope, while the village at the foot is a plain area, the terrain is flat, and it is much lower than Qingshiwa Village. At the feet of Wang Dashi and Wen Qingqing was a small canal that stretched to the village. The channel is not wide, but it is very deep, but there is not a drop of water. Wang Dashi accidentally stepped on it, the soil was soft, and the soil on the side of the canal was sprinkled into the canal, he looked at it closely, only to find that the canal had just been dug up, and the project had not yet been completed.

Wen Qingqing said: "The people of Laofang Village are kind and friendly, and they work together to build a canal and river here to connect the water of Dongyang Lake, which is really wise and courageous!"

Wang Dashi looked at Wen Qingqing and said, "Yes, the wisdom of the people is endless!"

The two were chatting, and suddenly they noticed a grass hut not far ahead, and there was a sound from inside the grass hut.

Wen Qingqing pointed to the thatched hut and said, "There must be a house built to dig through this canal and river, and it can be used for temporary rest!"

When Wang Dashi saw the thatched hut, he remembered that he was brought into the ancient tomb by the old man with crutches before, he was extremely sensitive to the thatched hut, and he was afraid that Wen Qingqing would go in, so he said: "Wen Qingqing, it's getting late, let's go back!"

Wen Qingqing nodded and walked back with Wang Dashi.

At this time, I suddenly heard the cry of a child coming from the grass hut.

Wang Dashi encountered a lot of ghosts and strange things, afraid that ghosts would appear in the grass hut to scare Wen Qingqing, he pretended not to hear the child's cry, and continued to walk back with Wen Qingqing.

Wen Qingqing stopped: "Alas, this, whose child is this, so pitiful!"

Wang Dashi said: "Maybe the child is making trouble!"

Wen Qingqing shook her head and looked at Wang Dashi in a daze, and a sadness suddenly appeared on her face.

Wang Dashi stopped at this time.

Wen Qingqing slowed down for a while and said, "Actually, in fact, I am a child picked from the grass, so I can't get used to hearing the child's cry!"

Wang Dashi was very surprised, he thought of himself, and for some reason he was abandoned by his biological parents.

Wen Qingqing said sadly: "At that time, I just had a memory. There are no other relatives in the family, and they all depend on their mothers for their lives. Then my mother fell ill, and a year later her condition deteriorated. One day, I invited Lang Zhong from the next village, Lang Zhong checked his mother's pulse, did not prescribe a prescription, and then left. It was a long night, and I watched the dim light squinting my eyes, but I didn't fall asleep, I always felt my mother's eyes full of tears, and she looked at me until dawn. The next morning, she endured the pain in her body and made my favorite oil cake, she coaxed me to eat a lot, she also ate a lot, and she ate a lot, and as she ate, her tears slipped down her eyes, and I looked at it and cried loudly. After eating, my mother took me away. My mother carried me for a long, long distance until it was dark, until I fell asleep on her shoulder...... When I woke up and found myself leaning against the edge of a room, my first thought was that my mother didn't want me anymore and had left me. My mother is very loving, my mother is very kind, she will not leave me like this. I cried and shouted, and then I ran back, and then a big hand grabbed me, and he became my adoptive father, who said that he was a distant relative of my mother, and that my mother needed to recuperate from her illness, and that she would take me home to visit her in a few days. The next day, I really missed my mother, so I kept crying, and he took me by the hand and took me out for a walk. We passed a road, and a lot of people gathered, and we came to see that there was a dead man, a middle-aged woman, who was weak, her lips were white, and she was lying quietly in a coarse linen dress, and it was my mother. I finally knew why my mother didn't want me anymore, I finally knew, she was there to keep me alive...... Later, I changed my name and grew up under the care of my adoptive father. ”

Speaking of this, Wen Qingqing's eyes were full of tears, and she said: "Every time I hear a child's cry, I think of my childhood......"

As soon as Wang Dashi saw Wen Qingqing, he felt that she was similar to himself, a hard-working person, and had a different experience, but he didn't expect to have such sad childhood memories. He shook his head, comforted, and then returned with her to the place where the child was crying.

The child's cry came from the grass hut, and when the two approached, it was already deep in the canal river, and there was also the sound of shouting and equipment beside it.

Finally, Wang Dashi and Wen Qingqing came to the back of the thatched house. There is a fire burning here, as a lamp to illuminate, there are more than 20 big men building a bridge over the channel, this excavated canal river from Dongyang Lake all the way through, separating the village from the field, the villagers of the village need to cross the canal river to farm, so they build a stone bridge over the canal river in the middle of the village and the field. The canal river has been dug up, only the water diversion is left, but the stone bridge has not been built several times, the stone pile can not be driven, and the pile will be crooked, one of them, the stone pile is driven down, and is preparing to erect the beam, the stone pile is tilted, and it collapsed soon after, I don't know what the reason is, the bridge just can't be erected, and the pile is not good. Therefore, there is a local saying that every time a bridge is built, a pair of young men and young girls must be driven under the piles, and only in this way can the stone piles be stabilized and built into a stone bridge. At first, the villagers didn't believe it, but after four or five repairs, it was not successful, so the villagers gradually had an idea, found a pair of children, and prepared to drive the children under the piles to build a stone bridge.

This thatched hut is actually a simple kitchen. It's not too far from the village, but people don't want to go back to eat, so in order to save time and distance, the bridge is repaired, the water is diverted into the canal, and the kitchen has to prepare meals day and night.

After all, it is to drive a living child directly under the pile, which is so miserable that people dare not imagine.

According to the local saying, this kind of detrimental thing needs to be done quietly in the night when there is no light, but here is always dry, every day is the red sun, and at night either the moon is high or the stars are like fire. The night went on every day, and the villagers finally couldn't wait, and after deliberation, they decided to set up a black tent tonight to cover the light, drive piles under the tents, and bury the young boys and girls under the stakes.

The child seemed to know the death, the cry was very tragic, the big men around were ready, as long as the pile was laid, the pile was stable, and then began to erect the beam, and in three or two days, the stone bridge was completed in one go.

After Wang Dashi and Wen Qingqing heard about this, they didn't feel absurd and bizarre.

Wen Qingqing said: "The customs here are like this, it's just a pity for the child, but as a father and mother, how can I bear to want my child to be beaten under the pile!"

The child's cry comes from under the canal, and then the earth is buried on the child's body, and then it is rammed, and the stones are laid down to make the pillars.

Wang Dashi shook his head and jumped into the canal river with Wen Qingqing to take the child out, and the men who were repairing the bridge and driving piles immediately surrounded them, and this kind of posture seemed to eat the two alive.

Wen Qingqing was frightened and hid behind Wang Dashi, who used his body to block her, afraid that she would be hurt.

At this time, if Wang Dashi persuaded in the tone of an ordinary person, he thought about it, walked to the group, raised his head, and pretended to be calm and said: "The bridge has a bridge god, before you build a bridge, you must first worship the bridge god, and then use the blood of a rooster to expel the resentment born here, you don't need the life of a child!"

There was one person in the group, who was sturdy, black, and looked like a savage.

The black man grabbed Wang Dashi and said, "We spent a lot of money to get a pair of children, if you want, spend your own money to buy it, we two are used to build the bridge......"

Wang Dashi said: "In a person's life, life is the most precious, only once, can you bear to watch the two children die in your hands, if the two children are buried under the pile, your bridge is still not built, then what should you say?"

Hei Biao said: "Then naturally I don't want to, who wants to kill people when they are idle, but if the two children don't die, the stone bridge will not be built, and the delay will be even more!

Wang Dashi wanted to say that they were stubborn, but the local villagers all thought like this, so they didn't say anything more.

At this moment, a black shadow ran over in the distance, and Wang Dashi saw that it was the Wind Wandering Monk, so he called him over to think of a way.

Feng Yousheng was entrusted by Dafu Right and Dafu Zuo to look for Wang Dashi, and when he saw Wang Dashi and Wen Qingqing each holding a child in their hands, he said: "Ouch, so soon, all of you children have come out! I'm afraid that you will get lost, looking for you!"

Wang Dashi didn't have the heart to listen to the nonsense of the wandering monk, so he said to him directly: "The people here have built stone piles to build bridges, and they have built them many times without success, and they are going to drive these two young men and girls under the piles—— you are running from the world, hurry up and think of a way!"

Feng Yousheng looked at the people next to him, walked up to Hei Biao, and said: "Hey, killing pays for life, if anyone dares to put the child under the stake, let it go, and wait for God's punishment!"

"Hmph, where did you come from, this is our business in the village, and it's not up to you outsiders!" replied Hei Biao.

The Wind Wandering Monk suddenly appeared, making the group even more angry, and the three of them rushed out behind the Black Biao, looking at this posture, they wanted to teach the Wind Wandering Monk a lesson.

It turned out that Hei Biao was surnamed Luo, the eldest in line, known as Luo Boss, and the three people behind him were his younger brothers.

Seeing that this man was short-tempered and had a bad face, Feng Yousheng compared himself with him, and said: "I am a living immortal who fell from the sky, I think you are ridiculous and ignorant, I have come to take care of you, your brains are all packed in the shell of your shoes and stepped on flat, I will make up for your brains!"

Hei Biao snorted: "Hurry up and get out of the way, you can't take care of the things here!"

Saying that, Boss Luo's three younger brothers rushed up to beat the wind wandering monk.

The Wind Wandering Monk was startled and hurriedly dodged aside.

The four brothers of the Luo family took the children in the hands of Wang Dashi and Wen Qingqing, and put them again at the bottom of the canal river to prepare for piling.

The Wind Wandering Monk laughed, pointed at the four of them and said, "You just wait for the punishment!"

Hei Biao and the second brother raised their fists and were about to beat them, but Wang Dashi hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

At this time, a person came running from a distance, wearing a coat, a fat figure, and his hair was bubbling with oil.

The big cooker put the things in his hand on the ground, there were four in total, and no one in the village had ever seen what this was, so they came over to watch.

Wang Dashi and Feng Yousheng also came over to take a look. These four things are monkeys and foxes, and foxes are not foxes, nor are they bobcats and mice, and they look strange.

Just when the group was talking, the wind wandering monk said: "This thing is the drought fish, the local drought, the failure of the construction of the stone bridge, are all caused by the drought fish, you hang these four drought fish on the tree, with wicker to whip hard, the drought fish screams, there will be a thunder in the sky, if the drought fish comes out of the body, and then the sky will rain!"

Listening to the words of the Wind Wandering Monk, some of the people in the group had heard about the dry fish, so they took advantage of the Wind Wandering Monk's words to start talking.

The group felt that the Wind Wandering Monk knew a lot, so they didn't pursue the Wind Wandering Monk, and more people protected him, wanting to learn something from him.

In this way, the situation eased down, and the child under the pile was picked up. Wang Dashi, Feng Yousheng and Wen Qingqing found a place to sleep.

When the villagers heard the wind and the monks blowing, they all felt that these four strange things were not good but evil, so they immediately found a big tree not far away, hung up the drought, and prepared to beat it vigorously the next morning, to get rid of bad luck, and cause a heavy rain!

The group went to sleep, Wang Dashi, and Fengyousheng also went to rest.

The next morning, after a night's rest, the villagers held back their strength, pulled four wickers and whipped the dartfish, the cat is not like a cat, the dog is not like a dog, no matter how it is whipped, there is no water on the body, from morning to evening, the wicker is replaced one after another, the skin of the dartrich is whipped to expose the internal organs, and there is no water coming out, until at last, only four whining cries are heard.

The Wind Wandering Monk has never seen the Dry Fish, whether it is or not, no one knows, at that time he was bent on rescuing the two children, so he took the four little monsters as stand-ins.

Seeing that the sky is about to get dark, and if it doesn't rain anymore, the wind wandering monk will not be able to collect the stalls. At this time, the villagers were also very anxious, so they sang a ballad of praying for rain: the water dragon in the sky, the big spring on the ground, the water dragon coming, the source of the earth, the big river on the earth...... Singing and singing, suddenly I heard rolling thunder, and then the dark clouds came, gathering more and more, condensing, covering the whole sky, and then, suddenly the wind blew, the dark clouds trembled, and rotated in the center, gradually forming a big hole, stretching straight to the ground, which formed a huge ghost wind. The villagers were so frightened that they closed their mouths and stopped singing.

After the singing stopped, it was dark, and soon a few light winds blew and the ghost wind disappeared.

I was expecting a heavy rain, but now I was disappointed.

The moon gradually turned white, and the sky darkened for a while, and after a while, it lit up, and soon the sun in the east showed its shadow.

Wang Dashi, Feng Yousheng and Wen Qingqing were woken up by bursts of crying, and came to the edge of the grass shed, only to learn that Hei Biaohan and his three younger brothers had died, and the cry came from the wives and daughters of the four brothers of the Luo family.

Why did they die so suddenly, and what was the cause of their death?
