I promise

Chapter 748 find
Ling Fu was trekking west along the north bank of the Yangtze River.

When he was in despair, an old boatman told him that his family had lived by the river for generations. One year, it was like this. There was a ten-day torrential rain, and the river surged. It is about the current situation. A strange thing happened under the rock.

When a merchant ship full of tea came to the foot of Yanyunyan, it suddenly disappeared.

At that time, there was not only that one boat, but also nearby fishermen who came back from fishing and got off the wrong boat with the merchant boat at Qiyunyan. The big boat sank, but the fishing boat was safe and sound.

What's even more strange is that at dawn the next day, in a village about ten miles away in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, women got up early to make clothes, only to find tea leaves gushing out from under the stone slabs by the river.

Thinking about how urgent the river was at that time, the densely packed tea leaves were turning over in the river waves, and they couldn't rush away.

People in the village thought it was a monster, and they were too frightened to go to the river.Reported to the official, the government ignored it, and even arrested the person who reported to the official, not to speak out.

After several days, brave fishermen went to the river to see, and tea leaves surfaced intermittently.After a while, the river was completely calm.

After many years, nothing like that happened again.

When the old boatman talked about the past, he was still puzzled: "I heard that the boat had a deep draft, which is also strange. How could the merchant ship that transported tea be so heavy... I said, my lord, why don't you go upstream to have a look? Just in case you find it, don’t let people keep soaking in the water.”

Ling Fu sat on the fishing boat and gnawed on the steamed buns, big teardrops rolled out.

For several days in a row, he was on the verge of collapse. He was both afraid and blamed himself, so remorseful that he wished he could kill himself.

It turned out that the daily thousand Buddha took off his robe and waved his pole to send a message to him. He had realized the situation had changed and urged him to run for his life.

He actually believed that Chang Qianfo would have other arrangements.

——how can you be so stupid!

For a person like Ling Fu who practiced martial arts, especially leg skills, the mountain road of more than ten miles was nothing at all.But this is the most arduous and longest road he has walked since he came to realize it.

It was raining heavily and the water was not smooth. People who were not living in hard times would not go down to the river to make a living, but they couldn’t resist the high pay from Lingfu. Almost all the young and strong men in the village who knew how to swim jumped into the river to help. I went fishing.

Women, children and the elderly asked nearby villages to see who had picked up someone by the river.

The momentum was so great that all the surrounding people came to watch. They heard that they belonged to the same family as Gu'an Tang, which offered rewards for people in the lower reaches of the river, and they all took off their clothes and went down the river naked.

"Doctor Lin of Gu'an Hall is a good person." Someone said, "How can I collect money for such a small favor?"

Even with so many people helping each other, from noon to dusk, the villagers who went out to get paid with Ling Fu's letters had already returned with their money, and there was still no news anywhere up and down the river.

— No good news, no bad news.

The villagers are ordinary people who work hard and have never seen so much money in their life. After receiving their money, they cheered in disbelief.

Someone lifted his chin toward the river, Ling Fu sat silently beside a raised rock, the rain washed his body, and he didn't move.

The people fell silent kindly, and someone went home to bring food and put it behind Ling Fu.

The torrential rain kept falling, and kind people held umbrellas and waited with Ling Fu, for fear that he would be overwhelmed and jump directly into the river at his feet.

An elderly mother-in-law came here stepping on a muddy mountain road. The wind and rain were too heavy, and she couldn't hear her shouting.

It was only when I got closer that I heard: "Zhang Yong's family, your children haven't returned yet? The children have all returned, and they said they didn't see Da Chuan and Xiao Zhu, and they ran away."

The woman who was called "Zhang Yongjia" panicked.

The villagers comforted each other, and then became anxious: the mountain road is wet and slippery under such a big rain, even if you fall, it will be terrible.I was in a hurry to find the child again.

They were running around in one piece, and some sharp-eyed people shouted, "Isn't that Da Chuan and Xiao Zhu'er?"

Following the direction of the man's finger, I saw two small shadows, one tall and one short, bouncing and running towards this side in the gray and beating rain curtain.

"I found it, I found it." The stocky boy named Da Chuan ran ahead, was caught by his mother and beat him, before he finished his words out of breath: "The next door in the next village Chen Erya, her father went to drink cattle by the river yesterday, and picked up a man in the grass. It is a man, tall and strangely handsome, I wonder if it is the son of this master's family?"

After finishing speaking in one breath, his articulation was very sharp.

"Where are people?" Someone asked eagerly.

The woman beat the child, and her flustered mood eased. As soon as she let go, Da Chuan fell to the muddy ground. She didn't get up immediately, panting and shaking her head to show that she was really tired. I can't speak.

The boy named Xiao Zhu was clever, knowing that he was going to be beaten up by his mother before returning home after dark, so he deliberately slowed down his pace just now.

Seeing that the mother had finished the beating, she should be fine. She trotted over, turned and pointed back, "Follow him. The man was seriously injured, so he insisted on leaving. Erya and his father were so angry that they tied him up with a rope." On the bed. When I went with my brother, Erya tricked her father out, and she was cutting the rope with a kitchen knife—"

After a while of fear, the little boy patted his chest and said, "Oh my mother, you scared me and my brother so much that I thought Erya was going to kill someone."

No one listened to what he said behind him, and they all looked up at the distant hills.

At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, and no matter how good my eyesight was, I couldn't see my face clearly from a foot away.I saw the shadow of a man rising slowly from the top of the hill that was mostly eclipsed by the twilight, vaguely a man.

The man walked very quickly, with a limp, and he couldn't walk fast at all.

Ling Fu stood up abruptly.

He kept his ears upright listening to the two brothers named Da Chuan and Xiao Zhu talking, and he didn't dare to ask questions, for fear of being disappointed.Then he just couldn't hold it anymore.

Although it was far away and the light was dim, he still recognized the person by his crooked shadow——that was Chang Qian Buddha!
It is a living Changqian Buddha who can still walk and move.

All the air in Ling Fu's chest seemed to be sucked out in an instant, and he let out a short "ah——" sound, but he didn't cry out completely, nor did he cry out.Under the astonished eyes of everyone, he stumbled and rushed, even running and crawling, and rushed to the man in one breath.

"My lord—"

In the pouring rain, the old housekeeper knelt in the mud, covered his face with his hands, and wailed like a child.

***
Since it is necessary to find people, the manpower of Guanggu'antang is obviously not enough.

Mo Yichan broke the rules and transferred nearly 5 taels of silver from the warehouse, hired escorts to escort them to the riverside, and spread them along the river.Prime Minister Mo Yuan, there are three or two people in charge in every place, and they send cash to hire brave fishermen or boatmen to help salvage and find people, and offer a huge reward of 20 taels.

The villagers took Ling Fu's handwritten letter, and they could receive the reward as long as they were in any place where the money was distributed in Gu'an Hall.Coincidentally, I happened to meet Mo Yuan who was in charge of the prime minister.

Looking for someone upstream sounds incredible, but Mo Yuan knew that Ling Fu was not a person who acted absurdly, so as soon as he finished dealing with the urgent matter at hand, he took someone to the address left by the villagers and hurriedly searched for him.

Enthusiastic villagers removed the door panel, put cotton wool on it, and used it as a stretcher to carry Chang Qianfo eastward overnight.I saw a few people carrying sheepskin lanterns from afar, but when I looked closer, was it the person who distributed the wages during the day?
Mo Yichan has two sons. The youngest son, Mo Cangcang, has been raised by Li Ting's family for a few years, and has developed an unruly and outgoing personality, which is more like that family; After tossing and turning, I have experienced a lot of wind and rain, and developed a calm and prudent character, calm in situations, and rarely lose my composure.

But now, looking at Chang Qianfo who was lying alive on the door panel and smiling at him, Mo Yuan's eyes were also red, he covered his eyes and turned away, crying hard.

He really didn't expect that Chang Qian Buddha could survive these days. He was stretched by a string and refused to let go, and he didn't dare to be sad. All he thought about was how to salvage the corpse as soon as possible, so as not to let Chang Qian Buddha become a wanderer. Water ghosts can't go home even if they have a home.
