Many people know that Shendu has developed water system and rivers are everywhere.

There are dozens of rivers flowing through the capital of God!

The river is surging, and we are rushing to the river and sea.

One of the rivers points directly to the north, which is the most magnificent water system in the capital of God. The part of the capital is called the "Fengyue River" and is the most prosperous and luxurious place in the capital of God.

However, the part outside the Divine Capital of this river flows northward and eventually flows into the northern Minghai, which is called "Bei Mingjiang".

It is said that—

At the end of Beiming River is the place where the ancient royal family originated.

Before the Fireworks Festival, the entire Shendu River started to rain heavily, causing the water level of the Shendu River to rise a lot. The river water gathered from the mountains flowed through Shendu and rumbled towards the northern Nether Sea.

The north of the capital of God is a vast forest.

Beiming River rolled through the forest, and the dim yellow river water splashed, uprooting many trees.

The heavy rain fell, and the little beasts in the forest hid.

Just on the Beiming River in a corner of this forest—

An old man wearing a tattered straw raincoat and a dark yellow bamboo hat was sitting on the ground. He was holding a slender bamboo pole in his hand, and the top of the bamboo pole was led by a thin line and landed in the river water, and a float trembled in the waves.

The heavy rain caused mud and water to splash. The old man's body was covered with mud and water, and his face was also a little dirty.

However, he was smiling, contented, and very comfortable.

Judging from his appearance, this person is about fifty years old. He has some white hair on his head, some wrinkles on his face, and a slightly hunched back.

As soon as he sat by the river, he didn't know how many hours had passed.

At this moment, a little girl of five or six years old, riding a small fragrant pig with a beast, jumping in the forest and passing by happily.

She was having a lot of fun, and along the way, she made a silver bell-like laugh, mixed with the sound of heavy rain and Jiang Tao, which seemed particularly strange.

"Grandpa, are you fishing?" The little girl saw the angler and jumped off the little fragrant pig curiously and came to the old man.

"Yes, girl." The old man said with a smile.

"But the river water is so fast that the little fish will not take the bait, and your bait will be dispersed soon." The little girl said seriously.

"Is that true? But the river water is turbulent, so big fish will come out of the hole. Grandpa likes to catch big fish." said the old man.

"Greedy! Big fish is very strong, so you can't lift it up, grandpa!" the little girl said with a smile.

"You girl, you dare to underestimate grandpa. Wait, grandpa will catch a big fish for you now." The old man smiled.

"Hmph, then I have to take a good look!" The little girl also sat down.

On this rainy day, she was also wearing mud, like a mud doll. However, mud could not hide the innocence and purity of the little life. Her eyes were blinking, like gems on a rainy day. The more the raindrops washed, the more thorough it became.

After a while—

"The big fish is here!" The old man lifted the fishing rod upwards, and indeed a fish was hooked. After struggling in the water for a while, the old man lifted it up.

After a closer look, the fish caught was only two fingers wide, not enough for a little fragrant pig to have a bite.

"Hehe, what a little fish, grandpa, you lost!" The little girl was so happy that she covered her stomach and kept laughing.

"Haha... it was grandpa who bragged and made a mistake! You little girl who made you laugh, ashamed, ashamed." The old man laughed, and for a while, he picked up a scoop of water, filled some water, and put the little fish in it.

"Grandpa, are you going to give me the little fish?" the little girl asked with her big eyes blinking.

"You guessed it right, so smart." The old man smiled.

"That's right, my parents say I'm very smart!"

"Do you like raising small fish?"

"I like it! Thank you grandpa, I will definitely raise the little fish." The little girl took the water scoop, her eyes flashing, and a small light.

Because, this is a colorful little fish, although it is small, it is really beautiful.

"It's great, grandpa also likes to raise fish." He smiled, paused, and said, "Girl, can you talk to grandpa with your conversation? Grandpa is lonely. He is old and always likes to think about it."

"Okay!" The little girl sat obediently on the side with her little fish, saying, "Is grandpa only one? It's so pitiful."

"Well, for a long time, I've only been myself. But grandpa likes fishing and raising small fish. Sometimes he is not that lonely." The old man said.

"But Xiaoyuer can't speak and can't help grandpa relieve his boredom." said the little girl.

"You don't understand this, my grandfather said, any life, even a little fish, has thoughts. This is the wonderful place for living beings. It is not a number. It starts to experience things from birth, and from these things, it has its own ideas. Perhaps the experiences and ideas of a little fish are very few, but hundreds of thousands and millions of them gather together, that is called 'Tao'."

"Tao? What is Tao? Grandpa, is it a delicious food?" the little girl asked with her head tilted.

"Yes, it's very delicious. Grandpa likes it the most." The old man said with a smile.

"I want to eat too." said the little girl.

"If you eat it, your mouth will rot. Do you still eat it?"

"Then... forget it. I'll eat the food made by my mother, it's delicious!" said the little girl.

"Haha, that's right. Only bad people like Grandpa can eat those bad things."

As soon as I said this, a shouting sound came from afar.

The little girl was startled and stood up and said anxiously: "Grandpa, my father and mother are here to find me. I'll go home first. Next time I'll come to play with my grandpa!"

"Okay." The old man nodded.

"Pig, go quickly." The little girl was agile and turned over and rode on the little fragrant pig, holding the water scoop in her hand.

"Goodbye, grandpa!"

"Goodbye, kid."

Perhaps he ran away in a hurry, so the little fragrant pig mixed it, and the little girl fell down and fell into the mud.

"Wow!" The little girl cried and was confused.

The old man quickly put down the fishing rod, went up to help her up, took out a piece of cloth from his arms tremblingly, wiped the girl's face clean, and muttered: "At a young age, be careful when walking. Many people fell down once, but they could never get up again."

"Grandpa, the little fish is gone!" the little girl said while crying.

"It's okay, grandpa, look for it, don't worry, grandpa has a little fish, billions of small fish." The old man said with a smile.

suddenly--

A young man and woman flashed out of the forest.

They saw at a glance an old man was holding the little girl and smiling ugly, while the little girl was still sobbing.

"Shameless old man, get out!" The man came up instantly and kicked the old man in the chest. The old man flew out and hit a tree. He didn't get up for a long time.

"Dad, you...you..." The little girl was frightened and couldn't speak at all, and tears flowed down her face.

"Go home with dad and let you run around! Now the world is chaotic, and there are so many bad people. Are you looking for death?" The man was a little stern and pulled the little girl up.

"Grandpa, grandpa..." The little girl looked at the old man lying on the ground, and before she could even speak, she was taken away by her parents with her companion beast Xiaoxiang Pig.

The heavy rain poured down, and the rain curtain swallowed the whole world. The water accumulated in the low-lying areas in the forest was increasing, almost submerging the old man who fell to the ground.

He was motionless on the ground.

But in fact-

His eyes were open, quietly looking at the mud in front of him.

"Catch you!" He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed a colorful little fish in the mud and water.

"I want to run out of my palm, naughty!"

He stood up, holding the little fish in one hand, tidied up his straw raincoat with the other, and then put a bamboo hat on his head.

Then, step by step, walked to the riverside, looked at the Shendu, and then looked at the end of Beiming River, and looked deep.

He knew that it was his hometown.

"The law of heaven is boundless, life and death are ruthless, people are like fish, but unfortunately the river is surging, and countless murderous intentions are there. Life is a sea of ​​suffering, who can escape..."

His tears flowed down.

"A man is a dream, and a dream is a good thing, what can I do?"

He looked at the little fish in his hand, sighed, and said, "If you want to survive, you can only eat fish, alas..."

He was in pain.

But--

He stuffed the live little fish in his hand into his mouth, and bit it into two pieces in the first bite, dripping blood. He swallowed it directly with the second bite.

Perhaps the fish bones slashed his throat, and he coughed violently for a while, revealing a look of pain.

But in the end, he still smiled.

After laughing, he carried the fish basket, picked up the fishing rod, sorted out the straw raincoat and hat, stepped on a pair of tattered bamboo shoes, and walked along the Beiming River and towards the Shendu step by step.

In the rain, he opened his mouth and said happily:

Don't listen to the sound of the leaves hitting through the forest,
To be continued...
