The rain was finally lighter, and the water of the Golden River rose high, angrily slapping the rocks on both sides, splashing the wall of water a few feet high, as if it were boiling. The tavern was still alone on the shore, and most of the merchants were still there, for the torrential rain had washed away the way up the mountain. A few guests who knew a little cooking did it themselves, cooked some home-cooked meals for everyone, and those who had the strength helped to repair and strengthen the hole in the roof. Xiao Yi and a few people were on the edge of the Golden River, accompanying the young man. The young man knelt in the mud, sobbing slightly, and in front of him was a grave, which was solid and covered with weeds, so that it would not be washed away by the rain. The young man has been in this position for a long time, and Xiao B shields him from the rain,

"It's the third day, and people can't be resurrected from death, and the mourning is good. ”

The young man's body suddenly tilted, and he had already fainted. Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up and rushed back to the tavern. The young man was placed next to the fire, and the warmth hit, and then he slowly woke up. Everyone gathered around, only to see him tightly grabbing Xiao Yi's cuffs,

"Little, Brother Xiaoyi, is the shopkeeper really gone?"

Xiao Yi nodded and said,

"It's gone, it's gone. You buried it with your own hands!"

The young man was silent, and listened to Xiao Yi's question,

"He should treat you as a son, although you don't want to admit it, yes and no!"

The young man's eyes were foggy, as if he was thinking about something, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

"He, they're all good to me, it's just me ......"

He couldn't speak, but Ah Guo asked first,

"What about your biological parents?"

The young man shook his head and replied gloomily,

"Washed away by the water, it's also this golden river!"

The crowd was silent, and listened to Ah Guo again,

"And what's your name!"

But the guy sat up and asked Xiao Yi eagerly,

"Little, Brother Xiaoyi, is my sister still alive!"

Xiao Yi was confused by him and asked back,

"Who is your sister?"

"Yao Jing! I heard you talk about it that night, I was too busy to ask in a hurry! You say it, you say, is she really still alive!"

Xiao Yi's eyes widened, they didn't think that this Yao Jing was actually the young man's sister. Seeing that everyone was surprised, the young man explained,

"We are a family of four living on the bank of the Golden River, and last year there was a big flood that swept away my parents, but my sister and I survived. Later, I fled in all directions, and finally settled down. My sister inadvertently fell in love with the doctor who came to help the disaster, and she worked hard every day to help, but she was very happy. I remember that the man was always dressed in white, and he was extremely handsome and extraordinary, and the girls all circled around him, and it was no wonder that my sister liked it. But suddenly one day, the doctor left without saying a word, and he didn't say hello to his sister. ”

"Later, later!" asked the Ah Guo urge.

"Don't worry, listen to him!" Tong Lu likes to listen to this funny story the most, and it is also strange that Ah Guo interrupted him.

Later, my sister always wanted to commit suicide by diving. But you know, we grew up on the banks of the Golden River, and if it weren't for the rapids, how could we drown ourselves. ”

"Then why didn't your sister go to him? Also, that person seems to remind me of someone!" Tong Lu said, holding his chin.

"Do you know the doctor?" asked the young man, confused.

"That's not like a good person!Hey, let's not talk about this doctor, let's talk about your sister!" Tong Lu shifted the conversation back.

"My sister used to dive all the time, and then I got used to it. But one day, she jumped into the swelling river of gold and never got up again. I went down the river in search of her, and I arrived here, where I met my adoptive father and adoptive mother. I, I thought my sister was ......"

Tong Lu smiled and said,

"Your sister, now married to an honest man, living a stable life! We'll give you the address later, and you'll go see her when you have time! Hey, by the way, what's your name!"

The young man replied,

"Just call me Little Flute!"

Bai Qing liked the name and said with a smile,

"Xiao Qin, Xiao Di, your parents really know how to choose a name! In the future, we will call you Xiao Dizi! Xiao Dizi, well, it sounds so good!"

Ah Guo's mouth muttered,

"This name is good, it's called Little Dizi!"

Someone in the crowd chimed in,

"This little flute is smart and has a good character, since the old shopkeeper is your adoptive father, then this tavern should be taken care of by you. Oh, by the way, how do you make this wine?"

Xiao Dizi thought about it and replied,

"I also learned from my adoptive father, but it's hard to say if I can do it as usual!"

"No defense, many of us are here, we are greedy for this glass of wine, you are young, if it is worse, it doesn't matter, just improve and improve!"

"Thank you, uncles and uncles!

"Haha, very good, very good! Everyone keep drinking! Drinking!"

The crowd dispersed, each drank, ate and chatted with each other, and the tavern was restored to its former appearance, unaffected by what had happened a few days earlier. The little flute sat up slowly, a slight smile on his face.

Here Agora landed Tong Lu,

"Who is the white-clothed doctor, and how handsome is you......?

A series of questions made Tong Lu confused, so he had to deal with her,

"It's really handsome and indescribable, you, if you want to find him, you have to be faster, maybe you have already left Dali!"

When Ah Guo heard this, he was also energetic, and quickly packed up her baggage, put on her clothes and ran out of the door. Xiao Yi and the others were stunned on the spot, not knowing what happened. After a while, Ah Guo came back and came to a few people.

"By the way, where can I find it!"

Tong Lu was about to collapse, sitting on the ground with his head in his hands, not wanting to speak. Xiao Yi swallowed his saliva,

"Did you go to the Great Song Kingdom?"

When Ah Guo heard this, he ran out again.

The latter sentence "Let's go too, why don't we go together?" didn't get into my ears.

After a while, Ah Guo came back again, Tong Lu's eyes were glazed, and he couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at the fire. Ah Guo came to Xiao Yi's side and said with a smile,

"I don't have any money on me, can I?"

Xiao Yi smiled bitterly and looked at Bai Qing, who turned his head to look at Tong Lu again. Ah Guo hurriedly came to Tong Lu's side and stared at him directly, Tong Lu buried his head between his legs and shouted,

"Hurry up and give it to her, I can't stand it anymore!"

Bai Qing blinked at Ah Guo, took out a few silver ingots from his arms and handed them to her, and asked,

"Sister Ago, are you really not going to go with us?"

Ah Guo took the money and said happily,

"I'm going to find a man, what are you doing with me, I'm still too troublesome!

Ah Guo jumped up, turned around and left,

"I'm leaving, don't miss me!haha!haha!"

After saying that, she turned around and ran out again, Tong Lu let out a long sigh,

"Hey, it's finally gone!"

But after a while, Ah Guo came back again, and Tong Lu was going crazy!

"It's broken, and I'm going to stay for a few more days. ”

A few people stayed here, although there was no bed, but this tavern was very warm, there was wine and meat, nothing to talk to the crowd, but also very happy.

The next day, the rain finally stopped. Everyone contributed, and the obstacle removal work on this mountain road was also carried out in an orderly manner, and Ah Guo was not in a hurry, and the road was barely passable, so he walked alone. She had already inquired about the route, and she must not be so easily disoriented. Although Xiao Yi is not at ease, seeing that she is so persistent, it is not good to say anything. Tong Lu didn't want to meet her again, so the three of them stayed in this tavern for a few more days.

The wind was clear and the sun was still in sight, but it was a good day after the rain. Xiao Dizi brought a lot of wine and food to the three of them, and personally sent them away, and then they went back to the tavern satisfied. Xiao Yi and the three of them stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the tavern from a distance, it was the only one, but it was also a river and lake.

The three of them climbed over the mountain, and what caught their eyes was a large river from north to south, with no end in sight, and the valley was extremely wide, and there were many houses scattered on both banks, presumably the land on the bank of the river was also extremely fertile, feeding the villagers. There is a lot of sediment on both sides of the river, which should be brought by the mountain torrent, and the water flow here slows down and slowly accumulates.

Someone had already cleared the river sand from the aisle, and the three of them went down to the riverbank without much effort. There were a few people waiting, and there should be a cruise ship docking here. After a while, an old man slowly rowed over, carrying five or six people, all dressed as farmers. The old man had dark skin and gray hair, but the muscles and bones of his arms were still strong, and it must have something to do with his daily boating. The old man scolded and scolded in his mouth, Xiao Yi has excellent hearing, but he really listened,

"Come home at night, little brute, see that I don't break your legs......"

Xiao Yi was funny, thinking that he was just saying some angry words. It turned out that a few people on the bank were just picking up the goods and not crossing the river, so there were only three people on the boat. The old man tied the rope to the trunk of the tree on the shore and looked this way.

"Have you eaten, if you haven't eaten, come with me to my brother's for some food?"

Xiao Yi stood up and said with a smile,

"We have food and drink here, grandpa might as well eat some here!"

Xiao Yi took out the wine and meat from his bag and handed it over. When the old man saw it, his saliva couldn't help but flow. He stretched out his hand and took the meat, but his mouth said,

"It's not good!"

Just took a bite, and then said,

"Oops! This meat is fragrant! Tsk, it's delicious!"

The three of them only thought that this old man was funny, and Xiao Yi handed him the wine again. The old man was even more excited, picked up the wine and sniffed left and right, and then drank a piece of meat in one sip, his mouth was covered with oil and water, and he enjoyed it very much. Seeing him eat so happily, the hearts of the three of them were also happy.

The old man quickly finished eating, and kept licking his fingers, trying to lick all the oil off his hands.

"Grandpa, is that enough, we still have it here!" Xiao Yi stepped forward and asked.

Thanks to Lord Hong, we can eat meat from time to time, unlike before, we don't have a big meal of meat all year round, so I was really panicked at that time. ”

The old man took off the rope and stood on the boat, stumbling slightly, and then laughing,

"The dolls are sitting firm! Grandpa, I've been rowing for decades, and I'm very steady!"

He said this, but Tong Lu Baiqing grabbed the boat with one hand,

"Grandpa, you're all right?" asked Tong Lu in a sound voice.

"Haha, how could there be a problem!"

The boat went off the shore and slowly moved towards the opposite side, each oar being extremely powerful. There was a slight breeze, and the old man's snow-white short beard was slightly crooked, and he exhaled and inhaled in his mouth, with some white gas. Just halfway through the river, the old man's legs and feet shook a little, and the whole boat shook slightly, but he was still comforting Tong Lu Baiqing,

"Don't worry, don't worry, I drank three catties of soju in one go, and I still got on the boat to ferry, just a little wine is nothing!"

Having said that, the old man's legs trembled even more, and he had to lower his body, and the hull of the boat slowly stabilized. In the end, the old man simply sat at the stern of the boat and stopped rocking the oars. Xiao Yi saw that he was no longer strong, so he paddled the water to stabilize the boat.

"Hey, why didn't you use it, so I drank so much! Well, I'm sleepy, I'm sleeping!"

When Xiao Yi and the three of them heard this, they were also shocked. Seeing the old man swaying sideways, he was about to fall into the river. Xiao Yi took three steps and made two steps, ran from the bow to the stern, and pulled the old man when his face was on the water. The old man smacked his lips and fell asleep sweetly. Xiao Yi's movement was still a little big, and the boat shook violently, and it took a long time to slowly stabilize. The water is so fast that it seems that it will have to be far downstream to find a place to rely on. Xiao Yi put the old man in the boat, poked Tong Lu, and the two worked together, and the boat was on the right path.

When he came ashore, Xiao Yi tied the boat, but the old man slept very deeply, so he had to carry it on his back and go to the village to find his family. Tong Lu followed behind, scolding,

"This boat sits badly, with wine and meat in vain, and in the end you have to paddle by yourself, no, you have to send people back, what a sin!"

Bai Qing patted him on the back and said with a smile,

"I thought this grandfather was so cute that he could fall asleep rowing a boat. You see how sleeping he is, he really looks like that little child. Haha, you see, you're still eating your fingers!"

Tong Lu smiled helplessly and stopped talking. Although this old man is small, but a drunk person, it is really not easy to carry, the old man slid down from time to time, and Xiao Yi simply carried him directly on his shoulders later. The three of them walked back for a while before they saw the village. There were some naughty children in the village, and they were not afraid when they saw the living, and when they saw the old man rowing boat, they excitedly took a few people back to the old man's house. Xiao Yi gave some food to the children, and then sent them away.

"This grandfather's house is on the edge of this river, and we walked around the village and came back. ”

Tong Lu looked around for some dry firewood and threw it on the ground.

"Hehe, I'm quite good at picking places, it's a lot higher than the water, and when the water comes, it floods a lot of farmland, but it doesn't endanger this place. ”

When it got dark, there was still a little chill, and Xiao Yi lit a fire to see this room clearly. The house was very small, with a row of hay in the middle and a small bed in it. Outside, slightly wider, there were a few pots and bowls and large bundles of dry wood on one side of the doorway, and some fishing tools on the other. Underneath the walls of the house were large stones, and the top was made of mud and grass, and the roof was also reinforced layer by layer, and it rained for so long that no rain came in the house. Xiao Yi put the old man on the bed, covered the quilt with his heart, and then took out the wine and meat to share with the three of them.

Tong Lu is also a good wine person now, although he drinks very little every time, but he must drink wine, he took a sip lightly, made a very enjoyable appearance, and said with a smile,

"It's really good, let's walk the rivers and lakes, make our home everywhere, and still have wine and meat, hurry!

Bai Qing snorted and laughed,

"Lu Lu always loves to pretend to be a hero!"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, Xiao Yi came to the door, looked out, and saw several villagers hurrying over, and when they came to the door, they saw Xiao Yi and asked in unison,

"Is Sha Lao okay?!"

Xiao Yi smiled,

"It's fine, just drank some wine, it's fine!"

But the faces of those people changed greatly,

"Oh, how can you give him a drink, if you can't get it, you're going to die!"

Xiao Yi was shocked, Tong Lu Baiqing also stood up, and when the villagers entered the house, the house was very crowded. The man in the lead took a closer look, and then he breathed a sigh of relief,

"This old man always said how he could drink when he was young, but now, he gets drunk when he gets drunk, and he gets drunk for two or three days, and the people in this village don't dare to give him wine to drink. I can't blame you for just coming. Seeing that he is fine, I will wait until tomorrow to invite a doctor and prescribe a sobering soup for him. ”

Bai Qing interface,

"I'm a doctor, and I can show my grandfather! It's just that I have no medicine on my body...... But tomorrow you can go up the mountain to find some. ”

Several villagers saw that she was not very old, but they were a little skeptical,

"I see, it's better to ask for a Lang Zhongcai. The little girl is kind, we understand it!"

Tong Lu only felt strange and said casually,

"Many of you came to see grandpa together, it seems that he is very popular!"

The man in the lead laughed,

"Sha Lao has been rowing this ferry for decades! Our parents grew up riding in his boat, but he is the oldest man in the village! Today, he is more than 70 years old, but he still carries people across the river every day without collecting a penny. Our villagers on both sides of the strait are grateful to him, and they take turns to bring him some food and drink every day, and his little grandson also grew up eating these hundred family meals! Hey, by the way, where did that kid go!"

"Grandpa has a grandson?" Xiao Yi asked suspiciously.

"This kid's name is Sha Ci, and he is also very filial. Sha Lao has no son, this grandson is the orphan son he adopted more than ten years ago, although the two are not biological, but the relationship is good! Erfu, you go and ask those dolls to see if the little sand is. ”

Tong Lu muttered in his mouth,

"Hehe, 'Little Sand', that's an interesting name, 'Little Fool'!

When the man heard this, he laughed,

"That's the way we have an accent, the two words are somewhat similar, and everyone is used to calling him 'Little Sand'. ”

A few people sat around chatting, and after a while, the two blessings came back,

"The doll of the Li family said that he took the three girls of the Wang family up the mountain, and he wanted to go with him, but the mountain was too big, so he stayed at home. This Wang family is also big-hearted, we went to ask him to know that my daughter was lost, and I was in a hurry!"

"When did you go?"

"Early in the morning!"

"Oh, little fool! I don't know how scary this water is! Quickly inform the people in the village, and follow me up the mountain to find it!"

Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to speak,

"I'll go with you! I don't dare to say anything else, but I have a lot of strength. ”

A few people looked at Xiao Yi and felt that he was physically strong, capable and powerful, but he was a good hand, so they no longer shied away. Xiao Yi then said,

"These two are with me, and they have also studied medicine for many years, so it's better to let them stay here and take care of Sha Lao, right?"

The man hesitated for a moment, and then replied,

"Okay, then let's hurry!"

Xiao Yi turned around and nodded to Tong Lu Baiqing, and went with those people.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was already bright, and in the waterfront hut, Tong Lu was sitting next to the fire and napping, while Bai Qing was standing at the door looking forward. The road is dangerous in the dark, and there may be torrents from time to time, and she is worried that Xiao Yi has not closed her eyes all night. Tong Lu fell to the ground, but he woke up, looked outside the door, rubbed his eyes and said to Bai Qing,

"What is there to worry about, Brother Xiaoyi's physique and skill, we are all dead and it won't be his turn!"

"Baba blah, baba babble, sew your mouth up!"

The two were arguing, and Xiao Yi ran back,

"I searched for a night and didn't see anyone, hoping that I was just trapped by the flash flood. Come down and replenish some provisions, and send them to the mountains for the others. You two are here and I'll help them. ”

After speaking, Xiao Yi went to get the meat, Bai Qing grabbed his arm, and said hurriedly,

"Brother Xiaoyi, I'm going too!"

Tong Lu glanced at him,

"What are you going to do, causing trouble?"

Bai Qing glared at him and said,

"Just in time to find some medicinal herbs on this mountain!"

Tong Lu turned around in place a few times and spoke, seemingly a little reluctant,

"Okay, I'll go too, I don't want to be alone next to this grandfather, it feels weird. ”

Xiao Yi looked at the two of them and didn't say anything more. The three of them took food and went out together. I found the villagers and went back to take care of Sha Lao.

Bai Qingtong's foot strength is not bad, he has not stopped, he has been walking up the ravine for two hours, the mountain is high and the road is slippery, the water is deep and the grass is long, and he has just walked into the belly of the mountain. I met a few villagers, but unfortunately, there was still no news. Xiao Yi gave them food, and continued to climb the mountain with Bai Qingtong Lu.

The water of this mountain stream is extremely fast, and the mountain stone is snapped, and the green mountains on both sides are luxuriant, and the flowers, birds, insects and beasts are hidden in it, full of vitality, and it is also hidden danger. There are many small tributaries in this ravine, and Xiao Yi consulted with the villagers to find them separately. Xiao Yi insisted on continuing to go up, and everyone thought that the two of them were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and they would probably not go deep into the mountains again, not to mention that the water was so big, it was not easy to go up. Xiao Yi thought that saving people still needed more hopes, and everyone saw that he was so persistent, so they went with him. The three of them left the crowd and continued to explore the mountain.

The road was very difficult, and I searched for a way out as I walked, and sometimes I made a mistake and had to come back again. The three of them walked for a long time, and then they climbed up the waterfall of more than ten zhang and turned into the valley above, and from below, there was no longer a human figure.

Suddenly, the valley shook, as if the earth had cracked.

I heard someone shouting in the distance,

"The flash flood is coming! the flash flood is coming!"

The sound was instantly drowned out by the loud noise.
