(The first two days of the break are really a serious deviation in mentality, and I apologize to everyone here.) At the same time, cheekily begging everyone for a collection, a reward or something!hehe~)

Simple wooden building, living by the water. The two-storey layout, although there is no eaves hook, can also stand on the second floor by the railing, overlooking the distant mountains and waterscapes, which is pleasant. If it's raining, put up a small wooden chair and put a stack of peanuts and fruits. Sitting leisurely in it, eating delicious snacks while listening to the sound of rain falling like falling beads tapping on a plate, it is even more of a comfortable thing in life.

In front of the wooden building, there is a small garden. Wrap it around with neatly chopped green bamboo. In the garden, most of them are planted with flowers and plants. Even though it is now autumn, when everything is depressed, there is still some spring in the small garden. From this point, it can be seen that although the owner of this family was born in the common people, he is also a person who likes to raise flowers and cultivate sex in his spare time. With this, you can also know that the temperament of its owner will not be bad.

And in the middle of the garden, near the left side of the small building. There was a space that had been set aside proudly, and there were not many superfluous objects to put on the open space. In addition to a wooden table of eight immortals, there are two Taishi chairs that look very cheap and look more like their own hand-made. Although the style does not look very good, every detail is polished with great care.

Because it was lunch, I hadn't gone out to work yet. So at this time, there was a man sitting on both chairs, and by looking at his appearance, he knew that the two were chatting. But for some reason, one of them was a man with his back to the wooden building and wearing a gray robe. The simple face is full of anger. He was staring at the man sitting across from him with wide eyes.

Compared with the simple man in gray, the man sitting opposite looks much richer. A set of silk land costumes wrapped his fat body. On a plate with a greasy face, he maintained a smiling and amiable appearance at all times. A chain of pure gold of great value, hung close to the chest. In the light of the afternoon sun, it shimmers brightly. Not only that, but even the ten stubby fingers that were crossed on the table were also rings of jade, gold and silver.

Seeing that the man opposite was reluctant to speak, the rich fat man didn't feel anything embarrassed on his face. As for the anger on the man's face, he didn't take it to heart at all. Still smiling, he said: "I said Lao Yuan, you are not young anymore, why are you still like a child." That's it for you when you were young, and now that the children are so old, you still have such a stinky temper. After three or two sentences, you don't want to talk to people. When will you change your temper?"

The simple man in gray was already angry, and when he heard the fat man say this, he was even more angry in his heart. Placed under the table, his clenched fists suddenly opened, and he lifted it up and slammed it on the table. opened his mouth and said angrily: "If you don't change your surname Sun, I will make it clear to you today." I don't care what you're going to do, but I want me to nod my head, but there's no door. ”

With that, the man got up and went back to the house.

But before he could turn around, the rich fat man had already spoken again and said, "Old Yuan, I'll talk to you today." If you don't agree to this matter, you have to agree, and you also acquiesced in this matter. Why, now that it's your family's turn to contribute, your old Yuan will feel distressed? Could it be that in your old Yuan's heart, your family's life is human life, and other people's lives are rotten haystacks?"

Speaking of this, even the rich fat man who greets everyone with a smile on his face rarely has a trace of anger on his face. looked at the gray-clothed man's eyes, and was filled with a trace of blood in an instant. continued: "If nothing else, just all these years. Ask yourself, if we hadn't sent our children away one by one, would our town have the peace it has now?"

Suddenly, the rich fat man raised his hand and pointed it at his nose with a somewhat trembling index finger. said: "It's me, just me, a terrible person who instigates me on weekdays." For the sake of the town, it has now taken two lives. Two lives, Lao Yuan! Especially my son, who was only three months old, I didn't even have a fucking hot in my arms, and he was gone! Do you think I'm not distressed and uncomfortable? You see that I look like I've been smiling with everyone all day long, but who among you knows that I will be awakened by nightmares every night! If it weren't for that dog, who was raised by his mother, who actually ran away with his family overnight on Tuesday, would I have ended up like this? Although I hate that bastard to death in my heart, I don't blame him. Who made me Sun Ren the mayor of this Fuze Town!"

Tears had long obscured his vision. He could only raise his hand and wipe it away with the back of his hand.

But the tears that come out can be wiped away, so how can the scars left by those hearts be smoothed?

Rich fat people don't know!

Looking at the man surnamed Yuan again, the rich fat man had a tired look on his face. said: "Old Yuan, even if I, Sun Ren, beg you." For the sake of our Fuze Town, you can reluctantly agree to come down. ”

Maybe he thinks that just saying this is not enough. After saying this, he got up from the chair and bowed directly to the legs of the man surnamed Yuan. In his eyes, with the meaning of pleading, he looked at him and said, "I beg you!"

The man surnamed Yuan was startled and hurriedly walked to Sun Ren's side. Stretching out his hand to help him up from the ground, he sighed heavily and said, "Why do you bother? I understand what you say, but when I think of my child, I really can't give up my heart." Just ask what parents in the world are willing to push their children into the fire pit. ”

Sun Ren, who was holding the arm of the man surnamed Yuan, nodded heavily and said, "I also know that this is cruel, but there is no way." If we don't, it's not just one person who will die, but our entire town. ”

sighed again, as if draining the spirit of the man surnamed Yuan's whole body.

The body that sat down was a little rickety at this moment. didn't look at Sun Ren again, just nodded helplessly, and said, "Tomorrow I will take Xiaoyi to the river." ”

Looking at the man surnamed Yuan's expression, Sun Ren wanted to open his mouth to persuade him. But when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them. In the end, Sun Ren had no choice but to sigh helplessly, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

When he just walked to the gate of the small courtyard, he happened to meet Yuan Xiaoshan, who was going home. Looking at the bright smile on the little girl's face and the sweet voice that greeted him. Sun Ren's tears, which had been wiped away, flowed silently from his eyes again.

Yuan Xiaoshan, who didn't know why, asked with some doubts: "Uncle Sun, why are you crying?"

Sun Ren, who came back to his senses, immediately wiped away the tears on his face with his hands. Squeezing out a warm smile, Yun said lightly: "It's okay, it's just that I was careless just now, and there was wind and sand in my eyes." It's been wiped off by my uncle, so don't worry about the shirt. Uncle still has something to do, so he left first. I have free shirts to sit at home, and your aunt misses you a lot. ”

After speaking, Sun Ren took another step forward and walked forward. As for the young man who was following Yuan Xiaoshan, he only glanced at it slightly. After nodding to him, he left the place.

Looking at the departing Sun Ren, Yuan Xiaoshan was a little curious. But he didn't go too much to heart, but turned around and said to the boy that this was her house, and then took the boy into the small courtyard together.

When he saw his father walking at the door, Yuan Xiaoshan immediately walked briskly towards the man. As he walked, he took off the fish basket at his waist, smiled at the man and said, "Dad, I had a good harvest today, I caught several big fish." ”

The man looked up, a kind smile on his face. said: "Ask your mother to cook a good meal for us tonight." Then he saw the young man standing in the courtyard. I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is this guest?"

Yuan Xiaoshan, who had already put down the fish basket, hurriedly smiled and explained: "This is what I met on the creek, when I was catching fish, but I didn't know where a monster appeared. It almost scared me to death, but fortunately Chen Gongzi came to the rescue, otherwise I would have become the monster's dinner by now. So I brought Chen Gongzi to the house, planning to invite him to a meal, so as to express my life-saving grace to him. Dad, you don't have an opinion, do you?"

The man naturally didn't have an opinion, and smiled and said something like gratitude to the boy. The other daughter asked what was going on and why there were still monsters.

Then, Yuan Xiaoshan told the man everything that happened in Xiaoxi.

But looking at her somewhat pale face, you know that she has not completely recovered from the shock by this time. This made Chen Yijian, who was sitting on the chair and looking at the man, feel a little unhappy.

Even if you want to help me, there is no need to scare other girls' little girls so much, I will see that I will not educate you well for a while.

Chen Yijian didn't interject Yuan Xiaoshan's narration, he just sat on the chair. looked at the girl's side face, and the fear in her eyes. When he found that the man seemed to him, he immediately withdrew his gaze. Pretending to be looking at him all the time, with a big smile on his face.

But in Chen Yijian's mind, he was thinking about another thing at this time.

Chen Yijian, who is different from ordinary people, has already heard all the conversations between the fat man surnamed Sun and Yuan Xiaoshan's father in the small courtyard from afar. At first, he was a little unsure of what the two were talking about. But after he listened to all the conversations between the two, especially the words that Yuan Xiaoshan's father said at the end. He already had some understanding in his heart, and immediately began to plan a countermeasure in his heart.

If it were someone else, Chen Yijian might not be too heartfelt. After all, he had only heard about it, and he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. When he saw it, he took action to solve it, and there was no problem. But it is absolutely impossible for him to wait in the town for a day or two specifically for this matter. Although he was not in a hurry, he was not in the mood to meddle with things.

However, now that it is related to Yuan Xiaoshan, the meaning is different. Especially when following her all the way. Listen to her tell some interesting stories, and experience her kindness from the heart. Chen Yijian found that he really liked her. For the person he likes, Chen Yijian's consistent style is to give her the best without reservation. So, when he had a plan in mind. Immediately, in the way of his heart, he told all his thoughts to the weasel and the crested starling. And, let the two of them quickly go to the town to investigate, and then tell him what they found.

The bored weasel, who was already idle, would have any point in listening to Chen Yijian's plan. With an excited expression on his face, he flapped the wings of the crested starling next to him and said, "Let's go, you go to the town, I'll go to the river." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the crested starling to refute. In a flash, the figure had already turned into a yellow light and rushed out in the direction of the stream. And the crested starling also flapped his wings and quickly flew into the air.

According to Chen Yijian's words, there must be a river upstream of the creek. Otherwise, Yuan Xiaoshan's father would not have said that he would take her to the river tomorrow. So the weasel galloped upstream along the creek it had passed earlier. Sure enough, just as it was about to leave the town, it came to the end of the creek.

After looking around, I noticed that there was no one else. Only then did the weasel boldly reveal his true form, and he walked towards the end of the stream.

Because at the confluence of the creek and the river, a dam was built by the locals that was not very high. So there wasn't much water flowing into the creek, and most of it was flowing along the creek all the way north. Only a small part of it flows into the creek through a specially carved gap in the dam.

The river is quite wide, and the weasel should be about seven or eight zhang in estimate. Because the river is relatively fast, the water surface is not very clear. If you just look at it with your eyes, you can't see the depth of the river.

Walking on the wide road by the river, along one side of the river, there are rows of willows. On the other side, there is the farmland cultivated by the people of the town. The weasel did not rush to investigate the river, but followed the path under his feet, starting with the confluence of the river and the stream. First I walked towards the upper reaches of the river, and after walking for about a mile, I turned back and walked back. Then, when we reached the meeting point, we followed the lower reaches of the river and continued to move forward.

This time, the weasel didn't go far before he saw what he was looking for. A humble temple with no gate, built next to the river. From the plaque hanging on the door, which reads 'Yishui Temple', you can know that this is the temple of the river god in this river.

With a smile on his face, the weasel slowly walked towards the temple. When he walked into the temple and found the clay statue enshrined in the temple and the offerings on the table in front of the clay statue, the smile on the weasel's face became even brighter.

Regardless of whether this is a temple of the river god or not, walk a few quick steps to the offering table. Reaching out, he grabbed an apple from the offering table and stuffed it into his mouth. While biting the apple, he looked at the clay statue of the river god and said, "Hello Lord River God, my name is the jade-faced little yellow wolf." Of course, this is the name given by friends in the rivers and lakes. Today, when I passed by your door, I saw that your door was not closed, and that I was a little hungry, so I came in and asked you for something to eat. Anyway, you have it every day, so don't worry about these trivialities with me. ”

As he spoke, the weasel had finished eating the apple in his hand. Reaching out again, he grabbed a pig's head from the table. Without saying a word, he just handed it directly to his mouth. And its body, with its feet on the ground, sat down on the offering table in such a grand manner. With the quilt facing the clay statue of the river god, he said: "Lord of the river god, I used to hear from a friend that as long as you become an immortal, you can be fearless, and you can do whatever you want." Is that true?"

No one answered.

The weasel continued to smile and said, "For example, let the people pay tribute to some good men and women. I heard that as long as you eat these good men and women, you can improve a lot of cultivation, isn't it, Lord River God. ”

Still no one spoke.

The weasel, with his back to the clay statue, simply twisted his butt on the offering table. Face the clay figure and discard the pig's head in your hand. Holding his little head in his hands, he looked at the clay statue with yearning in his eyes, and said, "You have something to say, if that's really the case." I'm too lazy to practice, I go out every day to catch a few and come back to eat, and I guess it won't take a few years for me to become a god. ”

There was still no one in the temple to speak.

This made the weasel who was talking to himself a little unhappy. Pointing to the clay statue, he said in a disrespectful tone: "You should say something, there is no good way to practice and hide it alone." Good things must be taken out and shared with everyone, otherwise it will be unjust. ”

Still no one spoke.

The weasel sighed and said with some loss: "It seems that my friend is also, and I have to be happy in vain." ”

Next, the weasel no longer speaks to the clay statue. Instead, he concentrated all his attention on the offering table, reaching out and picking up one tribute after another.

When all the offerings on the table are eaten by the weasel. The weasel sitting on the offering table couldn't help but burp, but said, "You are also a river god, why do you just pay such a tribute." It's not enough to plug your teeth, is there anything else?"

Suddenly, the weasel's eyes lit up. The diminutive body stepped on the offering table and walked briskly towards the huge incense burner used to worship incense. While walking, he didn't forget to say to the clay statue: "Lord River God, borrow a few mouthfuls of incense from you to fill your stomach, your temple is full of incense, you shouldn't have anything to do with me." ”

Suddenly, a majestic voice came out of the clay statue's mouth: "Bold and demonic, you have to inch in!"

The weasel, who was obviously startled, immediately jumped off the offering table. After a dozen paces away from the clay statue, he stopped. Looking up at the 'alive' clay statue, he said with a flattering face: "Lord River God, don't make such a big fire, don't I just want to borrow a few mouthfuls of incense from you to fill my stomach." Besides, I didn't really do it. Calm down, calm down!"

The clay statue, which was already open, became more and more vivid at this time. A hint of pale golden brilliance slowly flowed in the eyes. Looking at the weasel on the ground, I couldn't see how the mud like lips moved. I heard a majestic voice, which continued to sound from the clay statue: "What a demon who is as bold as the sky, not only does he not retreat when he sees the temple of this immortal, but he dares to approach. is even more provocative in front of the immortals, don't you know how to write dead characters?"

There was a flash of fear in the weasel's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal. Looking at the golden eyes of the clay statue, a smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth. said: "The dead word must know how to write, but I don't know if the river god knows how to write it?"

The golden light suddenly soared, obviously mixed with an angry voice, and shouted: "Look for death!"
