Chapter 156: There are water ghosts in the river
The woman has bright eyes and good eyes, she belongs to the kind of girl who is good-looking, and when she saw Ruluo's polite words and deeds, she smiled slightly, "Then there is Little Master Lao." ”
A monk is a good character, and every word and deed is a good deed, but this little master met someone unladylike and made a friend who had a problem with his character.
The woman's name is Liu Huilan, she is a native of the town, she has always been gentle, if it weren't for Hua Wenxiang who almost removed her clothes just now, and was mistaken for saying such bastard words, the woman would not have directly slapped him if she said anything.
Ruluo carried a bucket full of water, as if carrying a chicken, and followed behind Liu Huilan.
Her house is far away from the old well in the town, and she has to walk for half an hour, during which she asked Ruluo if he was tired and wanted to help him carry it for a while.
Liu Huilan's family is not having a good time, there is an old father in the family, and the father and daughter have always depended on each other.
Ruluo originally planned to help Liu Huilan leave after carrying water, there was no point in staying here, and after a while at the well, Ruluo already understood that the woman in front of him was not the person he was looking for at first sight.
Liu Huilan went to the somewhat dilapidated house and took out a scoop, then scooped a handful of water in a bucket and handed it to Ruluo, "Little master drink saliva, the water in this old well in our town is sweet." ”
Her yard was filled with fishing nets, and there was a small, dilapidated wooden boat full of miscellaneous things, but there was nothing else in the yard, and it looked a little empty.
Ruluo thanked him, and then drank half a scoop of water.
Liu Huilan smiled: "Little Master and your friend are not from a small town, right?" ”
Ruluo nodded, "We happened to pass by here on our way, so we wanted to buy some dry food or something in the town, in addition to the two of us, there are a few other people in your town, but we are not together." ”
Liu Huilan sighed, "Little Master is leaving today?"
Ruluo smiled: "You don't need to call me little master, just call me Ruluo." We'll leave at dusk at the latest. ”
At this time, an old man walked out of the house, his voice a little hoarse, "Whelan, are you here?"
The old man is Liu Huilan's father, named Liu Dou, and the people in the town love to call him Liu Laodou.
The father and daughter make a living by fishing, but the sand river not far from the town has caused water ghosts these days.
Although the river is called the Sand River, it is not as muddy as it is now, and although the Sand River in the past is not crystal clear, it can be regarded as absolutely clean.
The name of the town is Taitou Town, the origin of the name of the town is very related, it is rumored that the emperor of the Great Hung Dynasty in the past paid a private visit, passing by here, the emperor who was dozing off in the carriage in order to wake up, wanted to take a look at the surrounding scenery to wake up, he just looked up and saw a small town in the distance, the emperor asked what the official was called here, the official said that the town had no name, so the emperor came to this town, and stayed here for a few days. The town is close to the Sand River, and there are many fish and shrimp in the Sand River, so most of the people in the town are fishermen.
Before leaving, the emperor gave the town a name, and he looked up in the carriage and saw the town, which was fate, so he gave it a homophonic "Taitou Town".
Later, the emperor also asked local officials to help the town build a water temple, and all fishermen would come here to worship the water goddess Niangniang before going out to fish, asking for safety.
However, this time there is a water ghost in the sand river, the magic power is vast, the whole sand river is muddy, black smoke and miasma, even if the people of the town worship the water god Niangniang, it is useless, the people who go out of the river to fish have disappeared several people, and now no one dares to go to the sand river to fish again.
Many people have lost their livelihoods, and many have come together to ask local officials for help.
Liu Huilan said with a smile: "Dad, this little master's name is Ruluo, and he helped me carry water all the way." ”
Liu Laodou smiled and said hello to Ruluo, and then asked Ruluo to sit in the room.
Ruluo refused: "Don't sit down, it's time to go, my friend is still waiting for me to hurry." ”
Liu Laodou is not easy to keep, so he let his daughter Huilan send it away, he hasn't seen a monk for some years, this young monk has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks good.
Liu Huilan, like her father Liu Laodou, is a warm-hearted person, she is determined to send it away, and the latter is not easy to refuse, this woman is very attractive, she is a good girl, but unfortunately she has no fate with herself.
The two didn't go far before they asked, "I see that your house is full of fishing nets, and your father is a fisherman?"
Liu Huilan nodded and sighed slightly: "It's just that the Shahe River has been haunted for a while, and my father and I haven't dared to go down the river for a long time." ”
Ruluo frowned, "Water ghost, the Sand River is the very muddy river not far from the town?"
Liu Huilan snorted, and then briefly talked to Ruluo about the situation in the town.
After the woman finished speaking, Ruluo suddenly stopped, "Did the local officials send someone to get rid of the water ghosts?"
Liu Huilan shook her head bitterly, "That water ghost has great powers, the official has been recruiting people to catch the water ghost, but no one dares to come, if it continues like this, the people of the town will starve to death." ”
In small towns, many people lose their livelihood if they can't fish.
After a moment of silence, Ruluo said: "Huilan, you go home first, I'll go say hello to my friends, and wait until we finish helping the town get rid of the water ghosts." ”
After speaking, Ruluo ran quickly, and soon disappeared in front of the woman's eyes, Liu Huilan was stunned for a while, and did not go home, but ran towards the entrance of the town.
If this is true, then I really met a noble person today.
She dreams every day that the water ghost can be removed, and she goes to the water temple every day to worship the water god Niangniang.
Isn't your wish fulfilled?
Liu Huilan's footsteps were too slow, and when the woman came to the entrance of the town, she didn't find anyone.
She searched for half an hour in the vicinity when she suddenly found a delicate carriage.
There was a person sitting in the carriage, who was the disciple she had slapped before.
Hua Wenxiang saw Liu Huilan, her face full of black lines.
Luo Bei and the man were still drinking, the two of them drank slowly, poured a small drink, and tasted it slowly.
When the man saw the woman, he said hello drunkly, "Huilan, why did you come here, it's still a while before the dinner market." ”
Liu Huilan called Brother Wu with a smile, saying that she was not here to buy vegetables, but to find someone.
So he asked with Hua Wenxiang, "What about that monk friend of yours?" ”
The woman was a little embarrassed in her words, after all, she slapped the other party hard not long ago.
Hua Wenxiang is not that stingy person, just now Ruluo told them about the water ghost, everyone can only be good people and help the town get rid of the water ghost.
Hua Wenxiang said lightly: "He seems to have gone to your house to find you, and he should have told you that we will help the town get rid of the water ghosts." ”
As she spoke, Tu Yuelian and Li Jasmine in the carriage walked out, and Liu Huilan lost her mind slightly after seeing these two beautiful and beautifully dressed women.
On the side, the man who drank with Luo Bei was named Wu Dazhuang, although he was idle all day long, but he didn't care about it, and occasionally went down to the river to cast nets to fish and earn some wine money.
The two people who were drinking touched each other, and Wu Dazhuang had already described the water ghost in detail for everyone, so when Ruluo came to inform them just now, he only said a few words.
Hua Wenxiang and everyone were originally interested in helping the town get rid of the water ghosts and do a good deed.
Luo Bei was the first to propose to kill the water ghost with a sword, and he chatted with Wu Dazhuang, not to mention, the young swordsman was originally a generation of Guangfeng Jiyue, and he perfectly inherited the benevolent heart of his father-in-law Shan Xiongxin.
Liu Huilan saw that the other party and his party were quite young, and she was a little suspicious, even if they were those cultivators in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that the realm was not too high...... However, since the other party promised to help the town get rid of the water ghosts, the woman was still very happy.
Wu Dazhuang, who unconsciously called Luo Bei a brother and sister, said with a smile: "Huilan, don't worry, my Luo Bei brother's swordsmanship is first-class, and it is more than enough to kill that water ghost." ”
Liu Huilan smiled knowingly, this big brother Wu is full of mouths on weekdays, and it is even more so when he drinks a little wine today, but the man who drank with him looks quite handsome...... Oops, what a nymphomaniac!
Liu Huilan said enthusiastically: "You don't have a place to live, it's better to go to my house, although my house is a little shabby, but it is quite spacious, and it should be opened." ”
Wu Dazhuang waved his hand, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Huilan, your family is too crowded with so many people, in this way, the women live in your house, the men live in my house, and I live in a house by myself, which is more spacious, and this carriage can also lead to me, my yard is big, and the carriage can be loaded." ”
Hua Wenxiang glanced at Li Jasmine, Li Jasmine glanced at Tu Yuelian, and finally everyone lived separately according to Wu Dazhuang's statement.
The town is poor, there are no inns, and they are all adobe houses, so it is better for men and women to live separately.
After that, Wu Dazhuang swayed and took the three old people to his house, Luo Bei drank a lot more wine than Wu Dazhuang, but it was not as serious as him, but his head was a little confused, for which Wu Dazhuang also praised his amount of alcohol, saying that he had such a amount of alcohol at a young age, it was rare, and I would make two dishes in the evening, and our brothers would continue to drink......
Liu Huilan took Tu Yuelian and the two cats back to the house, and as soon as they entered the yard, they saw Ruluo walking out of the house with four wooden barrels, and the latter smiled and said hello, "Come on, you guys." ”
Liu Laodou, who was slightly hunchbacked, then came out of the house, his face full of gratitude, "Little Master Ruluo, take a rest, the water in the tank is full." ”
Ruluo used a flat pole to carry four buckets of water at a time, this is the third trip, and said with a smile: "Then don't mention it, use it first." ”
Li Jasmine walked over, "You little monk is quite good at coming to trouble!"
Ruluo smiled and asked, "What about Xiaohua?"
Li Jasmine smiled: "By the way, you go to them quickly, we will live separately tonight." ”
Ruluo was a little disappointed when he heard this, "Why do you still live separately?"
Tu Yuelian said: "It is inconvenient for men and women to live together. ”
When she saw the adobe house in front of her, she always felt a sense of intimacy, and she lived in such a house when she was in her own town. Although Li Jasmine is used to living in mansions or something, she doesn't care about simple houses and shabrows, as for the black ball, it is just a stutter.
Liu Huilan took the bucket in Ruluo's hand one after another, and said with a smile: "I'll take you to Brother Wu's house in a while." ”
