After riding a donkey for a while, Lu Yun was also tired. He had to find every way to find Cao Xiu tomorrow.
The two of them agreed to meet at Jiangshendu, but the specific meeting location was not stated.
It’s not that Lu Yun doesn’t want to explain it clearly. If he really explains it thoroughly, he might be able to see the truth and reality by that old guy Cao Xiu.
I can't even calculate the trivial matter of looking for someone. Do you think you are cheating?
Lu Yun sighed: "Oh... I can't help but let that thing happen, and I'll just get together. I can only walk to the darkness with my teeth."
Thinking of this, Lu Yun planned to find an inn in Jiangshendu first.
If Cao Xiu cannot be found tomorrow morning, if he will be standing in the middle of the river during the sacrifice, he will not believe it. With Cao Xiu's ability, he will not be able to discover him!
Not long after, Lu Yun came to an inn, but was told that the customer was full and he found two or three in a row. This was the case.
It seems that I can only go to the bamboo forest I have been to before and draw a small building to rest.
The place is a bit far from the town. Tomorrow, I can only ask my white crane to travel a few more times to see if I can find Cao Xiu's figure when I look down from the sky.
After a day of twists and turns, night fell...
In the town, the lively scene during the day no longer exists, but it seems extremely quiet...
Above the river, a cargo ship that can accommodate twenty people is anchored at the ferry.
An old man, wearing plain clothes, was frowning, and most of his eyes were unbearable. He looked at the misty river surface on the deck and sighed from time to time.
The middle-aged man who looked like him also had a flash of unbearable feeling in his eyes when he saw the old man's appearance. He slowly came to his side and said, "Dad, it's getting late, so it's better to go back to the cabin to rest. The river is very damp and it's easy to catch a cold!"
"Old man, I can't sleep. How is that girl?"
When the man heard this, guilt flashed in his eyes and gritted his teeth: "The little girl has already fallen asleep, so don't worry."
"That girl is a good baby. Remember to give her delicious food and drink tomorrow. She will give her whatever she wants. Don't treat her badly!"
Suddenly, with a shout, a man was holding a child in his hand and drilled out of the reserve compartment under the deck.
The person who came was in his early twenties, barefoot and bare-haired, could tell he was a fisherman at first glance.
As soon as the man arrived on the deck, he said to the old man: "Lizheng, see who did I find in the cargo hold?"
I was looking at the man here. When I saw the figure in the hand of the visitor, my turbid eyes suddenly opened, and then my face darkened, and I scolded: "Shuiwazi, you are not at home for nothing, why are you here to do?"
I saw a six-year-old boy in his hand. The boy was wearing a ill-fitting, wide cannabis clothes and muttered: "No, nothing, I'm just here to play on the boat..."
When Li Zheng heard this, he stroked his beard and shook his head: "Needless to say, you are here to find Hu Niu!"
Shuiwazi, her eyes dodged and looked inside, burst into tears.
Poor and sobbed, "Tai-gong, can we not hand over the tiger girl to Master Jiang Shen tomorrow? She can't see her eyes, she has no father or mother, but Master Jiang Shen looks down on her.
Why not change to someone else? The village head girl, who often beat me with great strength and asked her to find Master Jiang Shen, I think it's OK!"
"fart!"
Li Zheng cursed and looked at his son beside him and said, "What else do you think? I've taken this little boy's eye, I'll know how to make trouble all day long, so why don't I tie him up quickly.
You, a father-in-law, can't even bear it. This brat must have sneaked up and taken Hu Niu away!"
Hearing this, his son came to the fisherman and grabbed the water kid, and was about to raise his hand to slap him.
But when I saw Shuiwa's snot and tears flowing, she wanted to hide but didn't dare to hide, but her eyes were full of stubborn expressions, but she still didn't make up.
Then he gently stroked Shuiwa's head and said earnestly: "Shuiwai, it's not that our village wants to hand over Hu Niu to Jiang Shen, that's what we have to do.
If you don't hand over, you will not be able to get out of the water to fish. The rice fields in the fields will be flooded, so we can eat whatever we want.
There are also the grain taxes assigned by the yamen officials to the village. If the time comes, they will not pay them all, and they will arrest the people in our village for labor. If they are not done well, they will die of exhaustion outside."
Shui Wazi wiped his nose with her sleeve and said dissatisfiedly: "Then let's take the whole village to another place and stop staying here. Let's see what the god of Jiang can do to us."
"You are still young and ignorant. Without the permission of the government, you will be gone if you move away. Our Qingshan is not strictly controlled, so you need to lead the way wherever you go.
If we lose our farming status, we will become a black refugee. According to our Yunling Law, this black refugee is a savage and can be beaten and killed at will and caught and sold for money!”
"Then, that..."
Shuiwa still wanted to refute it, but she couldn't tell me why.
Seeing this, Li Zheng waved impatiently: "What do you do when you say so much? He doesn't even have a single hair in his hair. Just take it down and take it to see."
And at this moment, suddenly the cabin door sounded and a sound of a bamboo pole hitting the deck came.
I saw a five-year-old child appearing in front of everyone.
She was wearing a clean robe, holding a bamboo pole in one hand, squinted her eyes, and was careful to come out of the cabin.
The young figure, with two braids on his head, tapped the deck with the bamboo pole in his hand to explore the way, and made a tender voice: "Grandpa Lizheng, I heard the sound of Shuiwazi. Has he come to play on the boat?"
Hearing this, everyone on the deck was silent, and even Shui Wazi didn't know what to say.
Seeing his father and grandfather cast a stern look, he stuttered: "Huhu...Huniu, I am Shuiwazi, here to play with you..."
Speaking of this, Shui Wazi's head was getting lower and lower. He knew that Hu Niu was blind and unable to see it, but somehow he didn't dare to look directly at Hu Niu.
I saw Hu Niu's pink face, and when she heard Shui Wazi come to play with her, she immediately smiled happily.
Then he touched his pocket and saw a little hand holding a candy man.
The candy man had tooth marks on his body. Hu Niu held it in his hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "Shuiwazi, look, I have a candy man, so I took a bite. It's so sweet, do you want it?"
Shuiwazi swallowed, but pouted and shook her head: "What kind of candy should we not eat? Who is a real man? You can eat tiger girl, I don't want it!"
Tick ​​tick tick...
The little girl, holding the bamboo pole in her hand, kept tapping and exploring and moving forward.
He came to Shuiwazi, stretched out the candy man in his hand, squinted his eyes, and smiled sweetly: "The candy man is so delicious, I'll give it to you, you can try it!"
"I……"
Shui Wazi hesitated to stretch out her hand, but in the end she couldn't help but take it from Hu Niu with greed.
Then he asked carefully: "Hu Niu, do you know what you are going to do tomorrow?"
Hu Niu smiled sweetly, chopped the ground with the bamboo pole in her hand, raised her face and proudly said: "I know, tomorrow, grandpa, and people from the village, will take me to fight monsters.
Shuiwazi, I tell you, I am so amazing. Look at the bamboo pole in my hand. I will use this bamboo pole to catch monsters in the water tomorrow.
If he doesn't bully the people in our village, if I hit him with a bamboo pole, he will not dare to bully people. By that time, everyone will be happy. As long as everyone is happy, I will be happy. Look at me, I am amazing!"
When Shui Wazi heard this, she glanced at the candy man in her hand. She was entangled for a moment, and suddenly her eyes showed firmness and shouted at Hu Niu: "You can't go tomorrow, otherwise you will die... um um um..."
