Under a willow tree not far from the Qishui Temple, the bored weasel looked a little low-willed at this time.

Squatting by the river, holding a dead branch in one hand, writing and drawing on the ground, I don't know what I am writing or drawing. The other hand is between the legs and gently covers the crotch.

A pair of eyes that were originally still thieves and thieves had aura, but at this time there was also some strange stagnation, and a trace of gloom.

Instead of looking at the scene of the temple in the distance, it lowered its head and looked at what it had drawn with a tree branch on the ground. It's like talking to yourself, and it's like you're telling someone about your dissatisfaction: "If there's a good thing, you know that you think about that stupid bird, and you don't put me in your heart at all." I still lost one bite at a time, calling your big brother. Hmph!"

Maybe it's because there's really uneasy anger in my heart!

When the weasel said this, the hand that grabbed the branch obviously increased a little harder.

The withered branches in his hands, after they can't bear this power. Suddenly, it was broken in two.

This made the weasel, who was already annoyed, more and more angry in his heart.

He suddenly stood up from the ground and turned to the river behind him. Looking at the turbid and turbulent river, the weasel spirit is even more unbeatable. With a curse in his mouth, he raised his hand and threw a branch that had broken his hand far away into the river.

However, by the incomprehensible it is angry. He grabbed a boulder from the ground, cursed in his mouth, "Fuck you", and slammed the boulder into the river.

"Poof!"

The water splashed and landed right on the weasel by the river. Although it is not soaked all over, it is not much better after eating the loss of short stature. Except for the back that was not wet, almost the whole body was already soaked. Especially at the moment when the water splashed, it was like the rising tide of the sea, surging in the face, and it slapped directly on its face.

The weasel, who was originally thinking of venting his anger in his heart, was completely enraged now. The little eyes are narrowed, and the little teeth are bared. He didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he bent down and picked up the stone from the ground and threw it fiercely into the water. Coming and going, it seems to be a weasel on a bar. After not wanting to take a step back, his whole body was completely soaked by the river.

But it didn't seem to care much about it, but the more the river splashed on it, the more energetic it became.

After a long time of incense, the weasel, who was exhausted and no longer had any strength, stopped throwing stones into the river. Some of them struggled to stand by the river, panting with their hands on their waists. Looking at the river that has been smashed by it countless times, it still flows. A bright smile suddenly appeared on the weasel's face, and he said to the Qishui River: "You are amazing, the master admits defeat!"

The ordinary sound of running water of "Bang la La~" seems to be responding to its words. But I don't know why, it fell into the weasel's ear, but it couldn't help but pout. said angrily: "What the hell, you wait for the master and I to achieve cultivation, and see if the master doesn't smash you into two pieces with one stone." ”

With that, the weasel looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost noon. Only then did he turn around and look in the direction of the water temple.

When he saw the servant who had been busy since the morning until now, without rest in between. The weasel's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of obscurity. Especially when he thinks of his own cultivation and the cultivation of the crested starling, the weasel feels a little ashamed of being inferior to others. Obviously, his qualifications are inherently better than that of the crested starling, and he is countless times easier than him in his cultivation. But because he was too proud and lazy, in the end, his cultivation fell behind him.

As for the path of cultivation, it is like a boat in a turbulent river. If you are not diligent, let alone going upstream, you want to stop in place and keep not going downstream, which is also very difficult. The meaning of this, it is even more clear. However, it is one thing to know in your heart, and it is another thing to be able to do it.

For the lazy weasel, even if it knows the meaning, it is always unwilling to work hard for it. Even many times, it will use its own talent and intelligence as an umbrella for its laziness and lack of hard work.

The crested starling once said about this that weasel countless times. But what can happen in the end? Weasel isn't supposed to be lazy, how lazy is to be!

In fact, many things in the world are very strange!

There are some things, the more others say about you, the more you will resist in your heart. It's like an ignorant child who will rebel against it. Even at this point, you know in your heart that this is not good, and you can't help but do it.

Until, one day, you wake up to yourself. You just go back and change, to restrain your behavior.

At this time, the weasel, after seeing the busy servant, had such a change in his heart. At the same time, its views on many things are no longer purely one-sided. Rather, I learned to look at the nature of each problem from a different perspective.

The most straightforward thing is that Chen Yijian asked him and the crested starling before who would like to go to the county office. At that time, it only thought about the benefits, but after getting the clear that there was no benefit, it decisively gave up this opportunity.

As everyone knows, it has given up the biggest benefit invisibly!

When it suddenly woke up, it found that the crested starling was able to transform into a human form. All that remains in the weasel's heart is to complain and repent! felt that in Chen Yijian's heart, he didn't take it to heart at all. He worked hard and followed him for so long, but in the end he gave all the benefits to the crested starling.

Now that the weasel has a clear state of mind, when he thinks back to himself just now, he can't help but feel a little ridiculous and pathetic. Obviously, the opportunity fell on me first, and I didn't grasp it well and let it pass by. Not only do they not want to make progress, they reflect on themselves, but they also blame others. It's just ridiculous, can't be ridiculous!

The head was raised, and there was no longer a low emotion.

The smile on his face was as warm as a spring breeze at this moment.

He glanced at the official in the distance again, and finally turned into a yellow light, and disappeared in a flash, and disappeared in the same place, and he didn't know where to go.

As if the mind was connected, Hu Bin, who was busy, couldn't help but look in the direction where the weasel disappeared. After seeing that there was no one left, only the withered willow branches drooped on the surface of the water, swaying gently with the current. Hu Bin couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and retract his gaze from the distance.

On the one hand, he has to maintain the order of the people in the town, and on the other hand, he has to help the foil do some sacrificial things. It's already busy enough for him, where is he still in the mood to think about some of the things that he doesn't have.

Although he Hu Bin is now a member of the public family, he doesn't have to be so busy with the people so personally. But in his heart, he deliberately wanted to take this opportunity, not only to behave in front of his immediate boss, Lord Huang, but also to show himself well in front of the two young immortals. How could it be possible to put such a good opportunity and not take advantage of it.

For all the way from the lowest level of the government to the current position of the head of the three classes and six rooms, Hu Bin knows the truth very well.

So when he saw Huang Ye, he walked towards the river with Chen Yijian and others. The busy figure became more and more desperate, but during this period, he deliberately leaned towards Huang Ye and the others. When he came to Huang Ye's side 'unintentionally', he came back to his senses, as if he had found them. He smiled and said, "Lord Huang, you're here!"

Looking at Hu Bin who was sweating, Huang Ye was really happy. For him, it is simply a worthy thing to have such a capable person under his hands to help him share many things. A bright smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Hu Dutou has worked hard!"

Hu Bin stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said with a bright smile: "No hard work, no hard work!"

Huang Ye asked, "How are the preparations for the sacrifice?"

Hu Bin immediately showed a solemn expression on his face and said, "Lord Hui, everything has been prepared safely!"

Huang Ye nodded again with relief, reached out and patted Hu Bin's shoulder. Turning his head to look at Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu, he asked, "Two Immortal Venerables, the time has come, do you want to start now?"

Regarding the matter of sacrifice, Chen Yijian has never been in contact. Naturally, he didn't know anything and didn't speak.

I only heard Zhang Longhu say: "Let's start!"

Huang Ye smiled and said to Hu Bin: "Inform the people and start the sacrifice!"

Then, Huang Ye turned to Yuan He and his wife and said, "Come according to the previous arrangement!"

Yuan and his wife nodded, after glancing at each other. Yuan's mother took the lead in crying loudly, hugged Yuan Xiaoshan beside her in her arms, and cried and said: "Old Yuan, you are saving Xiaoshan! Xiaoshan is our daughter, can you really watch her die, how can you be so ruthless?"

Yuan He, whose face was as heavy as water, ignored his wife's crying. turned to kneel down in front of Huang Ye, and said to him: "Lord Huang, I beg you, you can let our little shirt go." If you want to die, I'll Yuan He die, I just ask you to let go of our little shirt, she's still a child!"

Huang Ye, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Yuan He and his wife in his heart. But since it has already begun, he can't break the original setting. On the handsome cheeks, in the face of Yuan He's intercession for the woman, a look of embarrassment immediately appeared. Stretched out his hand to help Yuan He, who was kneeling on the ground, up, but couldn't help him no matter what.

I had to sigh and say helplessly: "Old Yuan, although I am the magistrate of Fuze Town. But I can't do anything about the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation in the town. If I speak for you today, how can I be worthy of the dead children and their elders? Old Yuan, it's really not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really can't help you!"

As soon as he saw this scene, the crowd that was still noisy immediately quieted down. In the eyes that looked at the Yuan family one by one, there was no sympathy, no compassion, and no ridicule. Because, many of them have come over like this.

Yes, it's just disappointment in this world.

Yuan He, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't seem to hear Huang Ye's words at all. Still motionless on his knees, he opened his mouth and said to him, "Lord Huang, I beg you." As long as you promise to let go of our little shirt, you will be a cow and a horse in the future, and I Yuan He will not have any complaints. ”

"The auspicious time has come, and the sacrifice to the river god begins!"

A sharp voice suddenly sounded from the crowd. Huang Ye, who was just about to speak, was forcibly interrupted.

Chen Yijian looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old woman wearing a black robe with a simple incantation on her face walking out of the crowd. And behind her, there were also four young men. The same face is painted with quaint incantations, the only difference is that all four of them are shirtless. On the shoulder, there are also simple incantations painted all over.

The four of them followed behind the black-robed old woman in silence, passed through the officials in front of the crowd, and came to Huang Ye and the others.

The old woman who stopped looked at Huang Ye respectfully. Looking at Yuan He, who was still kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but sigh heavily. But he didn't say anything, but said to Huang Ye: "Lord Huang, don't miss the auspicious time!"

Huang Ye nodded, a little unsure of what to say!

And as soon as Huang Ye nodded, four men followed the old woman. immediately walked in front of Yuan Xiaoshan, and the two grabbed Yuan Xiaoshan's arm and pulled her out of the woman's arms. The other two pressed Yuan's mother's shoulders at the same time, so as not to let her struggle. But when her daughter's life is at stake, how could she stop there?!

Not to mention that two men came up to hold her down, even if there were two more, she wouldn't be so resigned and let them take away her daughter.

After seeing her husband kneel down to Huang Zhixian, he still couldn't change the ending. A hideous expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he shouted: "I'll fight with you!"

Although her shoulder was held down, she couldn't use any strength to resist. Then she didn't use her hands at all, just opened her mouth and bit it towards the arm of one of the men.

Suddenly, a scream came out of the mouth of the man who had been bitten. The hand that held the woman's shoulder loosened slightly. But soon, he endured the pain and held her shoulder again.

Yuan He, who was on the side, wanted to come forward to help. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the black-robed old woman, and said to him with a solemn face: "Yuan He, it's not only your daughter's life!"

A simple sentence made Yuan He lose all his spirit at once. The body that had just stood up collapsed to the ground. looked at his daughter and wife, his eyes were full of guilt and helplessness.

"It's my Yuan family who can't stand you!"

Yuan Xiaoshan, who had been silent, didn't know where the strength came from. He broke free from the two men's pull and looked at his mother. There were faint tears in his eyes, and he said, "Mother, let it go!"

The woman who still resisted was stunned. She wanted to say something, but when she saw her daughter's eyes, she didn't know what to say. In the end, he just grabbed his daughter's arm and refused to let go.

Falling tears, crystal clear. Under the sunlight, there is a shimmering halo of colors.

Yuan Xiaoshan slowly raised a hand and peeled off the hand that his mother grabbed him. said: "Mother, I will be your daughter in the next life." ”

The strength of both sides made the woman unable to grab Yuan Xiaoshan's hand in the end.

Seeing her daughter walking towards the river, the woman had long since stopped crying. Even the roar turned into a wordless mouth at this moment.

Originally, in the plan, she just had to make a show! There was no need to really put her emotions into it, after all, this was not her real daughter at all.

In the beginning, she did. But I don't know why, when she heard 'Yuan Xiaoshan' say that sentence, I will still be your daughter in the next life. Her heart couldn't help but tremble, as if the Yuan Xiaoshan in front of her was her daughter.

When a moment of love comes, it is like the waves of the river and the sea, how can it be replaced by a single fake word? !

The sudden change made Chen Yijian and Zhang Longhu never expect. The two hurriedly glanced at each other, and Zhang Longhu took the lead in walking out. came to Yuan's mother, helped her up from the ground, and secretly used skill to make her fall asleep. Then he turned to Yuan He and said, "Uncle Yuan, my aunt should be in a coma caused by excessive sadness, you can help her aside to rest first." ”

After listening, Yuan He's somewhat worried heart relaxed. After saying thank you to Zhang Longhu, he calmly walked to the side.
