River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 17
Guobei County, west of the city, Zhujia Street.

The Zhu family is a common surname in Guobei, but there are many poor households, especially in the west of the city.

In a courtyard with mud tile walls, Mrs. Zhu Yao was washing a pile of clothes. Since she became a widow, the land in her family was taken away by her husband's brothers. Do some part-time cleaning to make ends meet.

In the south of her yard, there is a fence, in which some native chickens are raised.

At this time, her daughter was lying on the fence, watching the chickens walking inside.

It was probably because I was thinking about those eggs. Usually it was a holiday, and I was reluctant to eat more, but today my mother gave away all the eggs.

Even though she is sensible, she also knows that she should express her gratitude to her savior, but in her little heart, it is inevitable that she still misses him a little.

"Mother, I'm hungry." The girl said.

"There's still half a pancake in the kitchen, go eat it yourself." Zhu Yao straightened her sore waist and said with a smile.

The little girl didn't seem to want to eat pancakes very much, so she lowered her head.

Zhu Yao also probably knew her little thoughts, so he laughed at her: "The benefactor saved your life, and those few eggs are not enough to repay the kindness, so don't make petty emotions anymore, be obedient."

"Oh." The little girl replied, reluctantly turning around to leave.

At this moment, a dog barking suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall.

The little girl poked her head to look, but she saw a yellow dog standing outside her house with a bamboo basket in its mouth.

She hurriedly said: "Mother, the benefactor's dog is here."

She recognized the rhubarb.

Zhu Yao stood up, walked over here and looked at each other, and saw the yellow dog standing outside the courtyard wall with a bamboo basket in its mouth.

When the courtyard door opened, the dog came straight in and put the basket in front of her.Then he turned and left, wagging his tail.

The bamboo basket is exactly her family's bamboo basket.

Not only were the eggs still inside, but there was even an extra ingot of five taels of silver.

"Mother, does your benefactor want our eggs?" the girl asked.

Without saying a word, Zhu Yao suddenly picked up the basket and chased him out of the courtyard.

But as soon as she went out, the yellow dog ran out to block her again, barking at her.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Zhu Yao's eyes were red, and the tears were uncontrollable.

Jiang Ling stepped out at the corner of the street with a sigh, and said, "Take it. Speaking of which, I can't finish eating all these eggs, and it's a waste. I might as well pay you back."

"But... my kindness is like a mountain, how can my orphans and widowed mothers afford it?" Zhu Yao felt very indebted.

"What kind of kindness is not kind, everything is fate. You keep the eggs, and you also keep the money.

When you hatch chickens in the future, if a chicken with seven-color feathers comes out, keep it for me, and I will come to pick it up at that time.

And this money is regarded as a reward, how about it? "

"Since it's what benefactor needs, you don't need money, and you should do it."

"If you don't take the money, then I won't be able to ask for it again. The fate between you and me will be broken. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yao was stunned.

After Jiang Ling smiled at the timid little girl in the courtyard, he greeted the yellow dog and wanted to leave.

I wish Yao Shi just wanted to see you off,
Jiang Ling waved his hands and said: "There must be more celebrations in a family of good deeds. Hard work pays off. I believe you will get better and better. Don't send them off. Go back."

Seeing his back, Zhu Yao's eyes blushed, he rushed into the courtyard and brought out the little girl, asking her to kowtow to the benefactor.

But when he came out again, the streets were empty, and the person and the dog had long since disappeared.

……

From Guobei to Linzhou, it should be a straight line to the east.

Jiangling inquired with others, and the fastest route is to go out of the west city gate and take the waterway, which can be reached in less than half a day.

After coming out from the west gate, the yellow dog looked back several times, and barked at Jiangling several times.

Jiang Ling thought it was puzzled by what he had just done, so he laughed at it: "What's the matter, are you reluctant to part with those eggs?"

The yellow dog barked again, not knowing whether to admit it or deny it.

"It's really not easy for orphans and widowed mothers. Although they are like them, there are not many people in the world, but who told us to meet them? If you help, you will help. It's just a matter of raising your hands. It's just a matter of raising your hands for me. For their family In other words, maybe my small effort can help them overcome many difficulties in the future. Heh, I suddenly feel that this seems to be a bit of a credit card."

The yellow dog wagged its tail, not quite understanding what he said.

Jiang Ling smiled, and suddenly raised his hand, looking at the black ring on his hand.

This ring, as long as it is turned, can move across.

If you are in a hurry, using the power of the ring will be the fastest.

However, the transmission of the ring is so uncertain, no one knows where it will land in the next turn.

Seeing that the pier was not far ahead, Jiang Ling finally put down his hands and walked towards the pier.

"Forget it, let's take a ferry. It's not bad to enjoy the scenery all the way along the river."

It took more than ten steps, and suddenly the yellow dog barked again.

He bared his teeth and yelled at the back.

Jiang Ling turned his head to look again, but suddenly heard someone pointing at him and shouting: "It's him, it's really him, right here, don't let him get away."

Following the yelling, a number of big men rushed over, holding sticks and looking fierce.

Look at those figures, but they feel familiar.

After a few more glances, Jiang Ling finally recognized it. Aren't these the thugs from the [Xianheng Pawnshop]?
I just pointed out the cure method to them, and now they will repay their kindness and come to settle accounts?

He said to the yellow dog: "It seems that it is wrong to do good with evil, and evil people should eat evil fruits. Are you right?"

Wang Wang~~
The yellow dog barked behind him and stood aside.

Jiang Ling turned a blind eye and continued walking towards the pier.

When those nursing homes chased after him, he didn't look back and just said one sentence: "Don't run away before you recover from your illness."

The nursing home heard it and sneered, "Then I'll disappoint you, we're all fine."

"The shopkeeper is still waiting for us to arrest you and torture you, so let's hold your hand."

"Your trick has already been seen through by the shopkeeper. If you don't want to be imprisoned, return the ten taels of silver!"

Jiang Ling still didn't turn his head, and said as he walked: "Really? Give me a word, turn around here, and you are safe and sound. If you chase after him again, you will die of seven steps."

Those nursing homes also laughed, this is broad daylight, Qibu died of illness?

You quack trick, do you really think you can scare people?

Seven steps?

It's eight steps and nine steps, so what?
The Nursing Academy chased after him, and they were about to stop Jiang Ling, but just after they really took the eighth step, a group of seven people suddenly stopped their steps, and the seven orifices spurted blood suddenly.

He fell straight to the ground.

At the first moment, they were still full of vigor and viciousness; at the next moment, their limbs twitched and their whole body convulsed.

Jiangling didn't even look at it, but when he got to the riverside, he saw a passenger boat about to leave.He got into the boat and sat down in the stern.

The breeze came slowly, and the yellow dog crawled on the board of the boat, shivering, probably because he was afraid of the water.

And he looked at the pier, getting a little.

Spreading his five fingers, when he circulated a trace of spiritual power in [Yuanchi] in his hand just now, he actually noticed that there seemed to be a thread in his hands on the bodies of those chasing guards.

He knew that it was probably the [Plague] he had inflicted back then.

[Plague] Good or bad, it's all in his mind.When he breaks the silk thread, the disease can break out again, even worse than before.

"This reminds me of the allusion of Bigan digging his heart."

In the book "Feng Shen", it is said that Bigan was dug out by Daji and his exquisite heart was not dead. He asked the peasant woman on the road, can vegetables live without heart, and people can live without heart?
The peasant woman replied with a smile, people can't live if they don't have the heart, just after listening to the peasant woman's words, Bigan died immediately.

In fact, whether he dies or not, his fate is in the hands of the demon fox.One thought by the demon fox can sentence him to death.
