Chapter 109 Living in a fishing village!
Shiba Village is a small village on the edge of the Li River. There are more than 800 people in the village, half of whom make a living by fishing.
Sun Ergou is an orphan in the village. He is eleven years old this year. Not long after his birth, his parents encountered a heavy rain while fishing in the Lijiang River, and their boat was destroyed.
Fortunately, he also has a grandfather who is over sixty years old. The two of them depend on each other, which allows him to live until now.
On this day, Sun Ergou was getting into a cage by the river.
Suddenly, a white shadow appeared in the river upstream.
“Big fish!”
This was the first thought in Sun Ergou’s mind.
Immediately took off my shirt, picked up a harpoon, and plunged into the water.
The people living on the Lijiang River are good at water. In addition, everyone in the village practices martial arts, so they can come and go freely in the water.
Sun Ergou is one of the best.
With just one harpoon, you can always gain something on this Li River!
As soon as Sun Ergou entered the water, he dived into the river, swinging his waist and abdomen like a flexible fish.
Soon he swam to the side of the white shadow.
At this time he was dumbfounded:
This is not a big fish, it is clearly a person!
“I don’t know what evil you have done, but you were taken away by the River God!”
“Oh, I will fish you into the earth to make peace!” Sun Ergou saw this man , it really reminds me of my parents.
This person’s relatives also hope that someone can bury him, just like I also hope that someone can see the bodies of my parents and bury them properly.
So he held the man's ankle with one hand and paddled the water with the other.
In a short time, they reached the riverside and struggled to pull the man ashore.
Looking at this person casually, I saw that his chest was still heaving!
“This man is not dead!”
Sun Ergou took him back to his home without hesitation.
“Ahem!”
Zhou Xun struggled to open his eyes.
The entrance is a somewhat shabby but extremely clean house.
Fishing nets, cages and a harpoon hang on the mottled wall.
"Where am I?"
He remembered cutting a huge piece of wood and hollowing it out, then lying in it and swimming down the river. After that, he had no memory.
Wake up here.
As the mana was being used, bursts of tingling pain came from the meridians.
Looking inside, there are faint cracks in the meridians.
The mana in Dantian is also mostly silent.
What can be used now is equivalent to the first level of Qi training.
This time when I ran for my life, my foundation was severely damaged.
“Fortunately, I escaped!”
This can be said to be the most dangerous time in Zhou Xun’s training career.
The true elixir cultivator was chasing her. If he hadn’t had the divination skills, he would never have been able to discover the mark of divine consciousness. Then he would have been caught up by her, and his fate would be self-evident.
If you can’t solve the problem, just solve the person who caused the problem!
The Zhendan monk is really domineering!
Shaked his head, took out a healing pill from the storage bag and took it.
At this moment, a clear young voice sounded.
“You’re awake!”
Zhou Xun looked at the plain-looking, dark-skinned fisherman boy in front of him.
"It's you who saved me!"
"No matter what, we fishermen will help others when we see them in trouble!" The young man didn't care.
"Thank you!" Zhou Xun said.
"You just woke up and are feeling weak. Here is a bowl of fish soup. Drink it and you will recover quickly!" The young man brought a bowl of fish soup with several pieces of fish meat lying in it.
Zhou Xun has never eaten this mortal food since he traveled through time, so he was a little hesitant.
Looking at the young man's innocent eyes, Zhou Xun took it and ate it all.
“It tastes very good!” Zhou Xun commented.
Seeing Zhou Xun finish drinking the fish soup, the young man also smiled happily. Early the next morning, Zhou Xun walked out of the room.
After taking the healing pill, Zhou Xun felt that his body was slowly recovering.
He decided to stay in this village until his health recovered.
Then absorb the elixir essence and restore the foundation.
It has only been four months since he last absorbed the essence, so he will have to wait eight months to recover.
In the evening, the young man came back, and with him was a rickety old man with white hair and a haggard face. He had to walk with a cane.
Zhou Xun glanced at it and knew that this man was seriously ill and would die soon.
"Brother, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
"Much better!" Zhou Xun replied.
After dinner, the young man found Zhou Xun but stopped talking.
"What seems to be the matter with you?" Zhou Xun took the initiative.
"Brother, are you literate?"
Zhou Xun nodded.
"Can you teach me then?" the young man asked anxiously.
“Yes!”
“That’s great, thank you, brother!” the young man said happily.
Then he talked about the benefits of literacy.
After you become literate, you can work as an apprentice in the town, so that you can earn money and treat your grandfather's illness.
In fact, the old man's illness is a big deal to a mortal, but to Zhou Xun, it is just a trivial matter.
But he doesn’t plan to take action now.
Wait until he leaves and then heal the old man.
And, he will also give the boy a gift.
Next, every day is about healing and teaching teenagers how to read.
In this way, two months have passed. Zhou Xun's cultivation level and body have recovered a lot. Now the magic power he can use has reached the fourth level of Qi training.
On this day, the village chief suddenly notified the whole village to gather.
Said something big was announced.
On the high platform, a somewhat wealthy middle-aged man was announcing loudly.
"Next month is the triennial River God Festival in our town!"
"As you all know, the River God Festival requires a boy and girl. This time, the boy and girl are our Shiba Village's turn. !”
Hearing this, there was a commotion below!
"Quiet!" the village chief shouted.
"This is Master Kunai. He will choose the boys and girls for this sacrifice!" He said respectfully and invited out a middle-aged man dressed in yellow robes and dressed as a Taoist priest.
"Immortal cultivator, third level of Qi training!"
As soon as he looked at this person, Zhou Xun understood his details.
The middle-aged Taoist priest came on stage,
“Today, I will be responsible for selecting the men and women to be sacrificed!”
He said simply, and then took out a talisman with a painting on it. Holding a small ruler, I saw this person pretending to work for a while, and then fired a magic formula.
A green ruler flew out and hovered over the heads of the villagers.
Seeing this scene, everyone bowed down and called them Immortal Master!
At this moment, the ruler fell down and stopped on the head of an eleven or twelve year old girl.
“The girl chose her!” The middle-aged Taoist priest said calmly with no expression on his face.
The mother next to the girl was shocked when she heard this. She immediately knelt down and cried bitterly.
"Master Immortal, I only have a daughter, please spare her!"
"Sacrifice to the River God is related to the livelihood of the entire Miandu Town in the next three years, how can we just change it!" The middle-aged Taoist priest Leng coldly.
Hearing this, the villagers immediately spoke up.
"Yes, this is related to our livelihood in the next three years. Second Aunt, you can't be stupid!"
"Yes, what should we do when the river god is angry!"
Some people even forcibly picked up the girl.
“No, give me my daughter back!” The woman was heartbroken and cried out to heaven and earth.
