Han Chi and the others were forced to go on the road again, but the rebellion of the displaced people had not subsided and they did not dare to return according to the original route, so they could only make a detour to Dingzhou Mansion, and then cross Zishui, so that the original journey of only four days was doubled, so Lao Zhang's ceremony must not be in time.

Since they are not in a hurry, the two of them don't need to go too fast. And in the direction of Dingzhou Mansion, there are many imperial army gathered, but there is no need to worry too much about security, and it is not the main battlefield direction, but there are no major incidents along the way.

There are many refugees along the way, but they are all blocked in the north of Dingzhou Mansion, in the words of Songzi Daochang, the imperial court will not let these refugees go south, especially into Dingzhou Mansion, because the imperial court is worried that there are those rebels among these refugees or simply there are chaotic people mixed in it, this is not to dress up, this chaotic people and refugees are dressed the same, but some have taken up arms, some have not.

There are all kinds of unbearable things, but Han Chi has no way to do more, and can only share some food with those old, weak, sick and disabled, maybe it's better than nothing, but Han Chi insists that he can do a little bit, not for a return, not for his own peace of mind, just want these people to have more hope of living because of this stutter.

Things will always develop in a good direction, and when Han Chi entered the Dingzhou Mansion, he heard that the imperial court had begun to provide relief to the victims, which was the best news Han Chi had heard in the past half a month.

With the army from the south, the stable prefectures and counties have successively opened porridge farms, although it cannot guarantee the food and clothing of these refugees, but it is not how difficult it is to live, but among them, the sale of children and daughters is always indispensable, that is, it is common to pawn oneself as a slave, but these are placed in more than 100,000 families scattered and injured in the major events, but it is nothing.

Dingzhou Mansion is still prosperous, but Han Chi has no intention of watching, so he just rejected the kindness of Songzi Daoist who wanted to take him to Panheng for a few days to change his mood, and then the two of them just went in and out, but they only stayed for one night and left Dingzhou Mansion, which is one of the most prosperous in the world.

It's just that this night is not without gain, but because of the ebony card, the speed of the aura recovery is much faster, so he helped Han Chi open up again at the inn in Dingzhou Mansion, but this time it is not very special, Han Chi's body seems to be very accustomed to this way of cultivation, so he still doesn't need to rest and quickly relax.

The chief of Songzi also confirmed the particularity of Han Chi's body, so he asked Han Chi to start over what he had encountered, and he also felt that it might be the effect of Zhao Ji's mouthful of wine, which was naturally Han Chi's chance, and the chief of Songzi decided to open a trick for Han Chi every two days, so that one is that he can keep up with the ebony brand's own aura recovery, and the other is because if Han Chi has other inappropriateness, he can stop it in time.

After a few days of walking like this, the two came to the side of Zishui, and after Zishui, they could return to Quyang Mansion where Tianyiguan was located for another day, and seeing Zishui made the hearts of the two of them a lot more stable, but there were too many lives and deaths on this road, but it made the mood of the two returning home more urgent.

It's just that Zishui is not a small river, if you want to cross this river, you can only find the ferry, and the folk fishing boats can usually take people to cross the river, but Han Chi and the others still have two sturdy horses, but they can only find the ferry of the official's family, which was delayed for half a day, and when they found the ferry, it was already evening.

At this time, there happened to be a boat that had not yet departed, and the chief of Songzi hurriedly took Han Chi on the ferry, and the old boatman in charge of the boat waited for a while, but did not find that anyone was coming, so he drove the boat away from the ferry under the urging of everyone.

Han Chi and Songzi Daoist stopped at the place where the horse was tied on the boat and chatted, naturally they would not talk about any cultivation, and the law must not be passed on lightly, let alone fall into the ears of others, these are ordinary people, and it will not do them any good if they hear this.

It's just that before I thought about it, when the boat reached the middle of the river, it shook violently, and it lost control and circled in the middle of the river. At first, Han Chi thought that it was just a normal thing to encounter rapids, but he didn't expect to hear the old boatman shouting, "This is to meet the river god, everyone stand firm and grasp it, don't fall into the river, if you fall down, you can't help, as long as you grasp it, you can be fine, I have been on this river for more than 30 years, everyone believes in me!"

Now Han Chi has opened three more tricks, but he is much stronger than ordinary people, even if the hull of the boat shakes badly, he is standing very steady, and when he heard this, he asked the chief of Songzi Dao, "This Zishui does have a river god?"

The chief of Songzi shook his head disapprovingly and said, "What kind of river god is this? It's just a water ghost, but I didn't expect this water ghost to have some mana and dare to come and shake such a big ferry."

Han Chi asked again with confusion, "Water ghost?"

Matsuko explained carefully, "It is a water ghost, mostly turned into a person who died in vain in the water, and there is not much mana, but there is one more trick, which is to shake the boat that walks alone in the water, if someone falls into the water, it will take the opportunity to drag the person who falls into the water to the bottom of the water, and harm the person's life."

Han Chi roughly understood what was going on, so he asked Daoist Songzi again, "Can you get rid of this water ghost?"

The face of the chief of Songzi Dao changed when Han Chi asked this, but he quickly returned to his normal color, and then said, "If such a ghost thing on land is not my opponent, but I can't do anything about him in the water, but there is no need to worry too much, listen to this boatman's house, this water ghost does not have too sharp moves, and it will retreat when it is tired."

Han Chi naturally nodded, but at this time he found that there was a commotion in the middle of the boat, but it was a couple holding a baby, but the baby was crying at this time, no matter how the mother coaxed, it was useless.

At this moment, the rocking of the ship was even more violent.

The panic of the people was brewing even more violently in such a situation where life and death were uncertain and there were ghosts and gods on their side, and I didn't know who shouted, "It must be the cry of this baby that attracted the river god."

Just listening to this Han Chi knows that it is not good, because human nature cannot withstand temptation, especially when it comes to one's own interests, and when it comes to one's own life and death, it can make some things worse.

At first, the boatman still comforted everyone, "Don't panic, this boat is very strong, as long as everyone doesn't move, I will definitely ensure that everyone crosses the river safely."

It's just that this underwater ghost is a little unusual, and after a while, not only did it not retreat, but it shook even more, that is, Han Chi had to lie down on the side of the boat to stand firmly.

The baby may have been frightened, but the cry continued.

At this time, someone shouted, "This river god must have come for this baby, give this baby to the river god, and we will all be saved."

After these words, the atmosphere on the ship began to become strange, and although no one echoed it now, the expressions of everyone looking at the baby changed, and even the old shipwreck at the helm stopped talking.

Han Chi knew that it would definitely be bad if it went on like this, what he needed to do, and he had to do something!

If there is a war, the hundreds of thousands of Li people are powerless to save themselves, and now they are just on a boat, a baby is still swaddling, and it is rare for them to stand by and watch?

Thinking of this, he asked Daoist Songzi Daoist, "Daoist, can Taoist priests tell lies?"

Matsuko Daochang's eyes turned around a lot, and then he replied, "But it depends on what it is for."

Han Chi asked again, "Is there really only one way for this water ghost?"

The chief of Songzi replied, "If he had other ways, we would have been buried in the belly of the fish long ago."

Han Chi nodded several times before thinking about it again, and then said to the others on the boat, "What kind of nonsense did you just say! Who said that the river god would like babies?"

Han Chi had already opened the four orifices, and the voice was also a lot louder, and as soon as he opened it, the people in the boat could hear it clearly.

The others saw that Han Chi was dressed exquisitely, and there was a tall horse next to him, so they naturally knew that Han Chi was not an ordinary person, so no one came out directly to confront him, but out of nowhere came from the crowd, "It must be so, I don't believe you ask the boatman."

When the boatman heard this, his face darkened, but he did not answer.

Han Chi replied with a sneer: "Even if you are the river god, how can you harm people's lives for no reason?" I think it is the river god who knows that there are cunning and vicious people on the ship, and wants to punish the gods to purify the world, if you don't believe it, ask the Taoist next to me, is this the case?"

At this time, everyone remembered that there was indeed a Taoist chief on this ship, so they all looked at the Taoist Songzi chief.

Songzi Taoist looked at everyone's opinion, and immediately continued, "That's right, gods and ghosts know people's hearts, and treacherous people will be punished for heaven when they pass the realm under their jurisdiction, but you don't need to worry too much, as long as you all have good thoughts now, support each other, and help each other in the same boat, if the river god feels everyone's sincerity, he will naturally retreat."

When everyone heard this, although they were still worried in their hearts, they were not as panicked as they were just now, and the person who was going to sacrifice the baby to the water ghost just now did not dare to make any more noise, for fear that everyone would sacrifice themselves to the river god.

After a while, I don't know if the water ghost was tired, or if the people on the boat were settled, the water ghost felt that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so he really retreated.

When the hull of the ship was stable again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they all saluted to the chief of Songzi Road, and their gratitude was even more overflowing, but at this time, no one dared to move.

When the boatman saw that there was really nothing unusual, he hurriedly steered the boat and sailed towards the opposite shore, and for fear of another incident, he asked several boatmen to take out their oars to speed up the boat.

The boatmen, however, exerted all their strength and did not dare to rest for a moment, and it was not long before the ship came to shore.

Waiting for the boat to stop, everyone on the boat rushed to get off the boat, but Songzi Daochang and Han Chi were not in a hurry, and when there was no one else on the boat, they slowly led the horse off the boat.

Before leaving, the boatman ran over and wanted to return the money for Han Chi and the two to cross the river, but the Songzi Daoist did not take it, but only persuaded the boatman to do more good deeds and not have evil thoughts.

The boatman hurriedly agreed, and promised that he would respect the Taoist in the future, and he said it sincerely, but the Songzi Taoist only left a good sentence for himself, and turned away.

Look at the back of the boatman, but there is also a little bit of a baby retreat from the water ghost thoughts, but he didn't make a sound, if he had such a thought in this position, but he didn't know how many people's lives would be harmed, Songzi Dao Chang warned this time, how much will there be some use, but how long it can be managed, but it is not easy to say.

The so-called blessing and misfortune have no way but people to bring on themselves, and the retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow.

It's just that human life is so harmful? If this boat family raises this ghost with a human body in the future, sooner or later they will die at the mouth of this ghost.

For some reason, Han Chi, who got off the boat, actually had this kind of realization in his heart.
