"My son!"
"My poor child!"
Not long after the Shangyuan Festival, the dragon raised its head. This is supposed to be a good time to hear the roar of gongs and drums, the sound of dragons singing in the sky, and dragon dances to offer sacrifices to stoves to welcome happiness. The feeling of spring at this time is even better than during the Spring Festival. Spring is singing in Asakusa and hundreds of insects are sprouting, making it very lively.
But this early in the morning, there were cries of mourning, parents crying over the new loss of their son, which completely disrupted the atmosphere of the festival. It only made people around want to go out and understand, but they were also afraid of welcoming bad luck.
"My son, my poor son..."
"My mother is obviously with you, why can something happen to you?"
"Now I can't even find your mother's bones. How can mother... how can mother be worthy of your grandparents?"
Unexpectedly, the dragon dance team composed of the people of Jingzhao had already taken to the streets beating gongs and drums. The sounds of one happy and one sad were mixed together very abruptly.
People who didn't want to cause this bad luck were attracted by the sudden stop of the dragon dance team and walked out of the house. As soon as they walked out, they saw the parents slumped on the roadside in tears.
"Mother Fang Fang, what's going on?" The neighbors no longer care about bad luck or not. The devastated look of a pair of parents has long left people with nothing but pity.
As soon as the man stepped forward, someone standing nearby whispered in his ear and stopped him: "Shh, don't ask me anything, it will only cause trouble to me."
The mother, disheveled and with dull eyes, leaned against the courtyard wall and slid to the ground. She was obviously exhausted. Even one shoe was lost, the other shoe was soaked in mud and water, and there were a lot of blood scraped out from the gravel.
As for the child's father, he had been kneeling on the ground for a long time. His red and swollen eyes revealed a gloom that even the light of the morning sun could not light up. The clothes outside the middle coat were obviously not fastened, and the inner clothes were now messy and scattered. Covered with mossy soil.
Now everyone can see that something is obviously wrong with the child named Fang Fang, and they don't know how to comfort him for a while.
When everyone was at a loss what to do, an anxious figure appeared in the crowd, who else but Li Lan.
The little fox demon was also following Li Lan, who was scolding Li Lan at this moment, "Didn't you say that those talismans of yours are effective? How could you make someone fall into the water?"
"That's all, I won't say it anymore, it's just that you guys do things without regard to the consequences..." It was obvious that Li Lan was in a bad mood now, and the little fox demon stopped saying bad words.
At this moment, Li Lan naturally felt uncomfortable. It is impossible for my own law to fail for no reason - if I hadn't noticed it this morning, I wouldn't even know something was wrong now.
The people around them reconstructed the whole story through the sobbing and hesitating words of Fang Fang's parents.
The child eventually fell into the river. When the parents got up early in the morning, the child walked out of the hospital uncontrollably.
Hearing the noise, a pair of disheveled parents ran after him. The child didn't walk very fast, but he could always keep six or seven steps away from the running parents.
They finally caught up to the river bank, but the child was already submerged in the rushing river water. He didn't even have time to struggle, and was carried downstream without any trace at all.
A pair of parents wailed like they were crazy, and then the people saw the scene...
"Just go to the river and have a look. We can't help here." Li Lan remained silent. The little fox demon glanced at the parents surrounded by everyone and felt helpless.
"Um."
The discussion in the crowd still did not stop, and someone mentioned with regret the little fox demon who helped him in the night of Shangyuan.
"It would be great if the heroine from that time was here, and nothing would happen."
"It's such a coincidence... It's also Fang Fang's fate. His parents have suffered a lot. Even if they have another child, they will have to bury this matter in their hearts and suffer for the rest of their lives."
"Fang Fang is a very well-behaved child on weekdays. No matter what his parents buy him or not, he won't act or make trouble. How could God not let such a child live!"
Although people felt sorry, they couldn't do anything. Logically speaking, the spring floods in Jingzhao City will not last until May, but the temperature this spring is already higher than in the past. The river ice in the upper reaches has melted, and the water level of the river has reached the height of the flood seasons in previous years.
"This Fang Fang has always been an example for my children to follow. It's no wonder that something happened suddenly on a day like this..."
"I'm afraid something is wrong!" Fang Fang's mother's friend remembered something, "On the night of Yuan Dynasty, the child suddenly became abnormal. I even asked his mother to take him to see the immortals in Evian Temple. long."
"I don't know why I went there but it still looks like this. Is there something in the river? It's really scary!"
There was something in the river. When the people heard about it, they all moved a few feet away from the river bank. Some even secretly cursed it as "bad luck".
"There are a lot of things in this river. How many people drown in this river every year, probably those who come out to find substitutes."
The people became more and more mysterious as they talked, and the father even cried so hard that he fainted without even falling over.
"My husband!"
The child's mother couldn't accept it now. All the pressure is placed on one person, and it is almost crushing. "The child just passed away, what should I do if you ask me like this..."
"Madam, don't be anxious. I think I just fainted because of the rush. Go to a breathable place and calm down. I think you'll be fine." Someone tried to comfort the mother, but the effect was very little. The mother only relied on her own tone. He held on and didn't faint.
"How could this talisman be like this?" When Li Lan arrived at the river bank, he immediately found many traces of damage.
"Haha, it would be strange if something like this doesn't happen!"
