Wow!
The sound of water sounded.
A figure jumped out of the water, flew into the air, and landed on the fishing boat parked on the edge of Hanyue Lake.
Brother Eighteen, who had been waiting on the fishing boat for a long time, saw that Fu Shiyi was safe and sound. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Eleven, you are finally here, otherwise I would have sent a messenger talisman to Uncle Eighth. Hey...what are you doing?" Did you bring up the baby crocodile?"
Fu Shishi told the story of Jishui Crocodile Tuogu.
Brother Eighteen's eyes widened in surprise: "Ah, this... this is so amazing. I thought the stories in "Zhongnan Lu Liaozhai" were all fabricated."
Brother Eighteen was surprised, but also a little envious. At the same time, he couldn't help but remember an old incident.
When he was a child, he seemed to hear a rumor about Eleven from his great-grandfather while sleeping in a daze.
It is said that when Shi Yi was born, an old man in sackcloth passed by Luofeng Mountain and left a hexagram comment. He could not remember what it was exactly, but he remembered that the person talking to his great-grandfather was both excited and worried.
Fu Shiyi didn't notice the change in Brother Eighteen's mood. She saw that Fu You's wound on the boat had stopped bleeding but he still hadn't woken up, so she asked, "Brother Eighteen, is Fu You's injury okay? "
Brother Eighteen said: "I have sprinkled Coagulation Powder on him for the external injury. He will be fine after a few days of treatment. It's just that the meridians in his left hand were interrupted. I'm afraid he will have to take Xujin Pills."
Xujin Wan is a low-grade elixir. Sixth Sister can refine it.
On the way back to Xicheng, Fu Shiyi asked Fu You about the situation at home.
Brother Eighteen rowed the oar, turned to look at Fu Shi and said, "What, Shi Yi, do you want Fu You to go to Guyaju to help?"
Fu Shi nodded and said: "Knowing how to be wise out of desperation, robbing a young crocodile to make a grass baby water monster shows that Fu You is a bold and careful person, and it is even more commendable that he put his own life and death in order to save more tribesmen."
Brother Eighteen frowned slightly and said:
"Fu You is good, hardworking and reliable. His four older brothers are also quite honest, and they are all married."
"It's just his mother-in-law, Magu. I heard from people in Xicheng that she is a shrewd one. Magu has the final say in his family. I heard that the family of the girl who got engaged to Fu You some time ago was afraid that her daughter would be criticized by her when she got married. Because of this, I called off the engagement. This matter made a big fuss in Xicheng, but some people say that the woman broke off the engagement because she was in love with the brother-in-law of Fu Da’s sister-in-law in Dongcheng.”
East City is already richer than West City.
Moreover, Fu Da's family has worked in Guyaju for many years, so they are naturally popular among the clan.
Fu Shiyi vaguely felt that the latter possibility was more likely. After all, what was Magu's personality like? The two of them lived together in Xicheng, so they should have known each other before getting engaged.
Besides, for her.
Magu's character might be a bit more aggressive, but it doesn't hurt.
She originally planned to have three families come over. Fu You's family are all young and strong, and one family can take care of three. Magu was able to keep her calm, so she felt much more relaxed, otherwise she would have had to hire a steward to help them with their work.
Fu Shiyi has some thoughts, but he wonders what kind of person Magu is?
"Magu is said to be from your eldest brother's lineage. Before she was eight years old, her father drowned and died. After that, she lived with her widowed mother. However, her mother was frail and sick, so her father died less than half a year ago. , she took her own fishing boat and went fishing in the Miao River with the adults. When she reached the age of marriage, she was as good as any man at the helm, and she was beautiful, so the doorstep of her house was blocked. The matchmaker trampled several of them to pieces."
"But she didn't want to marry outside. She said she wanted to continue her father's legacy, and eventually she hired a son-in-law. When people in the West City mentioned Magu, they were both respectful and fearful."
Fu Shiyi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This Magu is truly an inspirational strong woman!
"By the way, I heard that Magu's mother once served your mother in Luofeng Mountain, and later..."
Fu Shiyi's mother is a taboo in the clan, and few people mention it. As soon as the eighteenth brother left his mouth, he felt that he had lost his words and did not dare to say any more. He only focused on rowing the oar.
Fu Shiyi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
She knew nothing about her mother.
All the people who had served her mother were dismissed. When she was a child, she and her second sister secretly searched for those people, but they seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
This was the first time she heard news about people close to her mother.
Fu Shiyi was not willing to let it go. He couldn't wait to see Magu's mother: "Brother 18, let's work harder and row faster."
Maybe she will know about her mother today.
Fu Shiyi couldn't help but get excited.
Brother Eighteen rowed the boat for a moment, shook his head and said, "Ma Gu's mother passed away long ago."
Fu Shiyi was like a deflated balloon for an instant. A glimmer of hope was suddenly extinguished, and he felt unspeakable disappointment. After a long time, Fu Shiyi spoke:
"Brother Shiba, when Fu You wakes up, please help me tell him that his family will tidy up in the past few days. When they are ready, they will go to Guyaju to help."
Fu Shiyi languished and lost his energy.
"chirp"
The young crocodile lying in her arms neighed sadly in his sleep.
Fu Shiyi patted the young crocodile's back comfortingly and said sadly: "From now on, you will be just like me, a child without a mother to love you."
As if aware of Fu Shiyi's loss, Xiao Huang, who was lying side by side with the baby crocodile in Fu Shiyi's arms, raised his beautiful neck and rubbed the back of her hand with a "squeak" sound.
Usually, when Xiao Huang is unhappy, this is how Fu Shiyi massages him.
Fu Shiyi smiled brightly when he saw this.
Xiao Huang slept in her sleeve at first, but when he saw her holding the baby crocodile, he crawled out and squeezed in with her. Obviously the little guy is jealous.
Fu Shiyi raised his head and looked up. Sitting on the bow of the boat paddling, he looked back worriedly at the generous back of Brother Eighteen, who was just like himself.
She is also living happily now, isn't she?
...
It has been almost a month since the baby crocodile came to Guyaju, but it still hasn't gotten over the emotion of losing its mother. It doesn't eat or drink, nor does it make a fuss. Its originally small size has shrunk by half. Fu Shishi has to go every once in a while. Give it time to regain its spiritual energy and hang on to its life. And let Xiao Huang accompany it.
Although the young crocodile is not as smart as Xiao Huang, it is still smart.
At first, Xiao Huang was afraid that it would take away Eleven's favor, but when he saw the baby crocodile acting stupidly, he felt relieved. It was rare to have such a playmate, so Xiao Huang would chirp around the baby crocodile every day.
When the eighth uncle escorted Qixingcao back to the mountain and turned back.
Accompanied by Xiao Huang, the young crocodile finally started to eat.
Fu Shiyi finally felt relieved.
The third-level spiritual peach has been obtained, and Gu Yaju has more than a dozen strong laborers from Magu's family, as well as Sanniang. Brother Sixteen. With Sixth Sister's help, Fu Shiyi was able to get away. After telling them, he planned to retreat to practice the fifth level of Qi.
