Facing the vicious middle-aged man, Xiao Mizi was speechless for a moment. When he went down to the lake, he did hear a woman's scream. The woman who screamed might be a family member of the man. When people saw him naked, they mistakenly thought he was playing a gangster, but they didn't mean to falsely accuse him.
At this moment, the old man who had once sunk the ship stepped forward and said: "Don't be reckless, Da Mang! This strong man once saved my daughter when my ship sank in the lake. I don't think he is unreasonable." Man. Just let him explain what is going on."
As he spoke, he pulled away Da Mang's hand that was holding Xiao Lizi's arm.
Da Mang reluctantly let go of Xiao Lizi, but stared at him angrily, waiting for his explanation.
Xiao Yanzi said: "Everyone, you guys rushed over in a hurry. You should have heard the noise here. That deafening explosion was made when I killed the water demon. The water demon self-destructed, stirring up You must have seen the water column soaring into the sky."
The old man from the shipwreck grabbed Xiao Lizi's arm and asked: "Strong man, there is indeed a water demon here, and you really destroyed it?"
"Uncle, your boat capsized for no reason. It was not without reason. Therefore, I concluded that there is a water monster in this lake." Xiao Jizi responded calmly, "Now that I know it, I can't let it continue to harm people, so I had the courage to go into the lake and kill it. Look, its body has exploded, its flesh and blood is everywhere in the lake, and there are also some fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs that were killed by the explosion."
Everyone couldn't believe it when they heard what he said. In order to verify it, a few young adults jumped into the lake and swam around. They caught some fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs that had been killed by the explosion. They told everyone about it for a while, and then everyone started to sigh. There was approval and surprise in his eyes.
A seemingly ordinary young man is actually capable of subduing demons and slaying demons. It’s really amazing!
After sighing, everyone thanked Xiao Mizi one after another.
Xiao Yanzi said: "Everyone, I have killed a big demon now, and there are many small demons in the lake. I plan to kill them tomorrow. When I went down to the lake, I put the clothes I took off on the branch of a tree. Now go take it off.”
As he spoke, he jumped onto the branch of the tree.
But Da Mang hurriedly grabbed him and said with a face of shame: "Brother, those clothes of yours, ah, and a cloth bag, I took them home, I will go home and get them for you."
Hearing this, the old man from the shipwreck reprimanded with a straight face: "Da Mang, do you really think that this strong man is playing a rogue, so you secretly took away his property and clothes? You can do such a shameful thing!"
Da Mang was scolded into silence and left in a hurry.
The old man from the shipwreck said: "Strong man, you can stay at my house tonight. You killed the water demon and you are the benefactor of all our lakeside families. We have nothing to repay, but we still have food and shelter."
Everyone agreed: "That's right, warrior, don't be polite to us. The fish we caught during the day are all fresh, and there are other dishes as well. Just tell us what you want to eat!"
After a while, Da Mang took Xiao Lizi's clothes back. Xiao Lizi put on his clothes, and everyone gathered around him and walked towards the village.
That night, everyone brought their own fresh dishes and gathered at the shipwreck old man's house. They drank and chatted with Xiao Dizi affectionately for most of the night.
Early the next morning, under the admiring and somewhat loving eyes of the old man's daughter, Xiao Dizi went to the lake to kill the little demon. When he came to the lake, he saw some people already busy fishing for fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs that had been killed in the lake. The villagers live a tight life, and they don't want to waste any food, so they plan to catch the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs and pickle them for eating.
Xiao Dizi found a deserted place, took off his clothes and got into the lake. He sank to the bottom of the lake and crawled into the cracks in the ground to look for the little demon.
The big demon was destroyed, and the little demons huddled in the cracks in the ground and did not dare to come out. When they saw the little demon, they all panicked and swam around randomly.
Xiao Mizi had a hard time killing the big demons, but it was very easy to kill these little demons. He could kill a small demon with just one finger of the sword, and in a short time, these little demons were all dead.
Emerging from the crack in the ground, Xiao Dizi did not jump out of the lake, but groped his way to the place where the old man's shipwreck was, intending to fish out the sunken ship.
The old man and his daughter had no other livelihood but relied on fishing. This boat was the life of the family and was of immeasurable value to them.
After searching for a long time, Xiao Mizi finally saw the boat half sunk in the mud at the bottom of the lake.
He did not have the confidence to lift a boat on his own, so he quickly asked Hongrui for help: "Master, I want to lift this boat and relieve the old man's family from the difficulties. Can you help me?"
When killing the ferocious beasts sacrificed by the Great Demon of Huan Mountain, Hong Rui once held him up in the air, which showed Hong Rui's lifting ability. It was expected that Hong Rui would have no problem helping him hold up a boat.
Hongrui responded: "Well, it is the duty of a great god to help those in need. I am willing to help you!"
Xiao Dizi thanked Hong Rui and immediately came to the side of the boat. He gently shook the hull to make it less tightly bonded with the mud. Then he grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, gritted his teeth and exerted force, and lifted it up with both hands. The legs tread the water vigorously and rise slowly.
In less than a minute of tea, Xiao Dizi lifted the boat above the water, then flattened the boat and pushed it towards the lake.
Those who were salvaging fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs were stunned when they saw Xiao Mizi scooping up the sunken ship alone. After thinking about it, I felt relieved again - for a person who can easily kill even water monsters, what's the fuss about picking up a sunken ship?
What they lamented was that the old man who sank the ship was lucky to meet Xiao Mizi in the midst of trouble.
When Xiao Mizi pushed the boat to the lake, the old man who had sunk the boat happened to come here. When the old man saw Xiao Mizi salvaging his sunken ship alone, he immediately burst into tears and knelt on the ground to kowtow to Xiao Mizi.
Xiao Dizi hurriedly jumped ashore, helped the old man up, and was about to say a few words of comfort when he suddenly realized that he had no clothes on, so he smiled awkwardly, hurriedly found clothes to put on, and then returned.
The old man held Xiao Lizi's hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Strong man, you are the savior of the old man and his daughter!"
As he spoke, he bent his legs and knelt down again.
Xiao Dizi quickly supported him and said: "Uncle, don't be so polite. If I don't help you fish this boat out, you will find someone to fish it out. Isn't it the same for anyone who fishes it out?"
The old man responded: "Strong man, that's not what you said. I originally wanted to hire a few people to fish it out, but it's not that easy to fish out the boat. Most people don't want to do it. Even if they are willing to do it, they have to ask for high wages. . Old man, I usually rely on fishing to make a living, earning a meager amount of money, which is only enough for the two of me to live on. How can I afford the wages? Alas, at the critical moment, a penny will kill a heroic man, not to mention that the old man is not a hero! "
After hearing this, Xiao Dizi felt pity in his heart and was speechless for a moment.
The old man was grateful for Xiao Dizi's kindness in salvaging the sunken ship, so he insisted on keeping him at home for lunch. The young man couldn't live up to the old man's kindness, so he had no choice but to agree.
Poor people know how to be grateful the most. Xiao Dizi was also born in poverty and understands this very well.
During the meal, many people came to the old man's house. Those people still brought some sumptuous meals. While eating with them, they said to the old man: "Uncle, you don't know what kind of virtue you have accumulated in your previous life. When you encounter difficulties this time, I actually met a noble person!”
With tears in his eyes, the old man said: "Not only have I accumulated some virtue, but you have also accumulated some virtue? Otherwise, how could the water monster that usually harms us be destroyed by this warrior so quickly? From this point of view, we Everyone should accumulate more virtue and commit less evil, don't you think?"
"Of course this is the truth. The most important thing to do is to be grateful." Those people responded, "This strong man is our benefactor, but until now, we don't even know his name. We want to place a memorial tablet at home. If you can’t do it, how can you thank him for his kindness?”
