Chapter 12 River God

"The world is like a wilderness."

Jin Mei sat on the concrete platform on the edge of the building, her legs dangling as if she was very leisurely.

"Eh? Why do you say that?"

Xiao Yiqian asked, opened a pack of biscuits and ate them non-stop. They were chocolate-flavored and a little too sweet.

"Look how busy this place seems to be, but it has nothing to do with you. Staying here is no different from staying in the wilderness."

"You can't say that. There are relatives and friends. Aren't they related to me?"

Jin Mei turned to look at her, and jumped off the stage with a "plop".If she had changed the direction, she would have jumped off the roof.

"They are all liars, they are just a group of strangers who are related by blood." Jin Mei said, her eyes were horrifying.

Xiao Yiqian lowered her head, and the concrete floor under her feet suddenly turned into an endless abyss...

She woke up sweating profusely from such a dream, her face was swollen and her mouth was bitter.

Her boyfriend had been out for class for a long time, she looked up at the clock, it was past eleven o'clock.

At this time, the doorbell rang suddenly. She was very cautious and looked outside carefully with the door mirror, but there was no one.Opening the door cautiously, a note was placed on the ground in front of her. The short line of printed words made her terrified. She covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, and closed the door violently...

Liang San dragged the suitcase and walked off the high-speed rail, next to Meng Chang who was sleepy and still rubbing his eyes.

This is Toyosu.

It was originally a little-known fishing town, because a fisherman's son became a famous writer decades ago and wrote it into his own novel.With an aversion to the glitz of big cities and nostalgia for the hometown in memory, Toyosu is described as a paradise.

Decades later, all the people on this land were sheltered because of him, and Fengzhou became a famous tourist attraction because of that novel.The most famous ones are the water alleys and the B&Bs along the street, each of which is uniquely built, and after you live in it, you really have the illusion that you are worthy of a paradise.

Of course, the two of them didn't come here to travel - this is the place Xiao Yiqian mentioned, where Jin Mei and her boyfriend Zeng Yue traveled together.

Although a long time has passed, Meng Chang applied to come here for a field inspection, adhering to the idea that as long as it exists, it will leave traces.

Every time there is an opportunity to travel at public expense, Windsor is always the most active, but this time she didn't make a fuss to follow, and Brother Chen also stayed there to upload the news, and it turned out that the young couple traveled alone in disguise.

When they went out in the morning, the weather was fine, but when they got out of the high-speed rail station, they found some signs of rain. The sky was overcast and a bit muggy.

No matter where the stations are, they are roughly the same. It seems that there will always be snack shops that will never disappear, passers-by with luggage with different expressions, ticket sellers who try to make eye contact with you and want to sell tickets, and some ragged, sitting A beggar who doesn't know what to think about in the corner.

Whether you are a metropolis or a small county, the station is always the place where people of all colors gather the most. If you want to make a map of the world, it is always the most complete place to come here.

Feeling that there were too many prying eyes, Meng Chang felt a little uncomfortable, and the two of them, regardless of the price, took a taxi at the door and rushed to the hotel.The taxi driver was very active and kept talking to Liang San. Meng Chang swayed in the car and felt as if he was about to fall asleep again.

As a result, he fell asleep when he arrived at the hotel. He vaguely felt that Liang San was changing his clothes and taking his temperature. After a while, he was called to get up and take medicine. When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse, "I have a fever?"

"Well," Liang San handed the water glass to his mouth, let him drink it with his own hands, and then handed him a capsule, "After taking the medicine, eat some porridge, and I'll wipe it for you later, today Just don't take a shower."

After eating, Meng Chang felt that he was a little more awake. Lying on the bed, he heard the sound of rain coming from outside the window, so he asked, "Is it raining?"

"It's raining." Liang San said.

The illness came and went quickly, and Meng Chang woke up the next morning feeling refreshed.When he went out, he found out that they lived in a homestay too, and the owner was an elderly old lady who was cleaning the table.

When they saw them coming out, they asked, "Is the fever gone?"

Liang San nodded, thanking her for her kindness in helping to buy medicine last night.

"It's a small matter, but it's not a disease. It's the God of the River giving the strangers a blow...or one by one..." She muttered something and walked to the kitchen inside.

Meng Chang was curious, "What river god?"

Liang San also shook his head.

The story of the river god was answered in front of the breakfast stall, which was placed not far from the B&B. There were two wooden tables and a few chairs. The boss came here at six o’clock every morning with the equipment and materials. He has been selling noodles for more than ten years. .

On one side, the boss gave them a lecture.

In the past, people relied on mountains to eat mountains and water, and the people of Fengzhou depended on rivers for their livelihood.It is said that one year, for some unknown reason, those who went out to fish could not catch anything. The nets set out the night before were collected empty the next day.

Gradually, there were rumors among the people that someone had angered the river god, and the witch in the village told them that they wanted to worship the river god, so everyone found the river god temple that had been in disrepair.

It was already dilapidated and dusty, but it was strange that the person who went in to clean it heard a baby crying.At first, the cleaning fisherman thought he had heard it wrong, but everyone felt the cry, so they searched together, and finally found an infant baby behind the statue of the river god.

I don't know how long it has been placed there, but it looks almost full moon, looks pink and juicy, and smiled when seeing someone hugging him, very cute.

The witch said that the river god made the fishermen unable to catch fish so that people could save the child. As long as the child is taken good care of, the river god will return the fish.

After hearing this, everyone really took care of the child and gave him a name.As a result, as the witch said, after a few days, there were fish in the net pulled out of the river.And the child raised by the fishermen happily grew up to be three years old. On the day he turned three years old, he suddenly disappeared and no one could find him.

After disappearing, miasma began to rise in the fishing village again, and a large number of fishermen fell ill.

One night, many people had a dream. They dreamed that the missing child knelt in the gods to pray for the fishermen. In the light, the god stretched out his hand and touched the child's head.After waking up from this dream, the miasma disappeared, so people here began to worship the river god for generations, lest they would anger him again one day.

After the two of them ate the special fish noodle soup and heard the story, the owner of the stall said: "Where do people still believe in the river god? It's all the older generation's story."

Meng Chang thought for a while and asked, "Then what is the identity of that child?"

"The son of the river god? Or someone important?" Liang San said, "What else could make him sacrifice the interests of so many people to save a child."

If you keep asking, it will become the classic question of whether you can move the rails or not. Meng Chang lowered his head and smiled, but didn't answer. He looked at the wooden chopsticks in his hand, which were carved with some unsophisticated patterns.

Seeing his silence, Liang San said, "But if I were the river god, I would do the same, as long as I can save the person I want to save."

"Hmm..." Meng Chang simply cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks on the table so that the boss could take them away.

Liang San watched his movements, and knew in his heart that Meng Chang must have different ideas from his own.

They said they came to check for clues, but the two of them had no clue, so they had to follow the flow of people and walk along the water alley.

The stone roads vary in width and narrowness, and the further you go, the more strenuous you feel. There are boatmen punting in the water next to them, and many tourists take advantage of the opportunity to take the boat. Anyway, the price is not expensive, and you can enjoy the coastal scenery along the way.

There are occasional small shops selling small ornaments or local embroidered products nearby. Meng Chang is quite interested in those, so he looked along the road and was unwilling to take a boat.

After a while, it began to rain again.

"There was thunder last night, but you were a sound sleeper, so you probably didn't hear it?" Liang San said.

Meng Chang shook his head and propped up a transparent plastic umbrella bought at the store for ten yuan apiece, "It means spring is here."

Gradually move forward, I don't know if I have gone too far, there are fewer tourists and shops.Most of the houses that appeared seemed to be private residences, some with iron doors, some with mottled wooden doors, but without exception, the green bricks in the corners were covered with green moss, which looked wet and heavy.

Meng Chang wore a pair of sneakers for walking today, but the laces suddenly came loose after walking for a while.

Liang San squatted down to tie his shoelaces. After finishing tying, he still didn't stand up. He squatted and looked up at him. Meng Chang's face was against the skylight, which was a little blurry.

Meng Chang was a little embarrassed holding the umbrella in one hand, always worried that someone would see it, "Why are you squatting all the time?"

Liang San suddenly lowered his head again, revealing a small hair spinner on the top of his head, and a muffled voice came into Meng Chang's ears, "Touch my head."

Meng Chang smiled, "Are you Wangcai raised by Yuanyuan's family?"

Liang San didn't speak, so he had no choice but to reach out and touch his head again.

The man's hair was very hard, rough to the touch, and had no feel at all.

But it seems to be a ceremony, like an ancient beast squatting down, telling you that my pride cannot be broken by anyone, but only you are special, I allow you to sit on my back, from now on your heart is My heart, your will is my will, and I will obey all that you say.I belong to you.
