Chapter 687 Will saving people break the rules?

Bai Ruozhu's family of three went all the way south. Jiang Yichun sat in the car with his wife and children. This was the first time for a family of three to travel. Unfortunately, there was no pleasant atmosphere of traveling at all. Apart from carefree pedaling, the other two people He always had a sad face.

"It will be fine, let's not scare the child like this." Jiang Yichun persuaded Bai Ruozhu while holding her hand.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but sigh again, "I hope I can find Old Man Shou Gu as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."

Jiang Yichun held Deng Deng in one hand and his wife in the other, forcing a smile and said: "It will be fine. Fortunately, we found it in time, and thanks to the little fur ball that Old Man Shou Gu gave you."

"Yes, I must thank him properly this time." Bai Ruozhu said.

At lunch time, the group of people found a small shop to eat some simple meals. Soon a guard came to report that Old Man Shou Gu had gone to Linchuan City further south, but they had already sent someone to deliver a message. Please Old Man Shou Gu is waiting for them in Linchuan City.

After hearing this, Jiang Yichun ate in a few mouthfuls, then asked the store owner to pack a lot of food, and said to Bai Ruozhu: "We will have some dry food for dinner, and we will eat it when it gets dark, so that we can speed up."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Okay, I'll eat it right away."

She ate slowly and mainly fed Dengdeng egg yolks and millet porridge.

For the next three days, the family hurried nervously, and finally arrived at Linchuan City in the evening of the third day.

Linchuan City is located along the river, hence its name. When Bai Ruozhu's family of three entered the city, it was their annual River God Festival, and many people were setting off lotus lanterns by the river, making it very lively.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun were very tired, but they did not dare to delay for a moment. After meeting with Jiang Yichun's men, they went directly to the place where Old Man Shou Gu lived. But when they arrived, Old Man Shou Gu disappeared, and no one knew When did he leave.

"How could this happen? Where is Old Man Shou Gu? Didn't you tell him that we are waiting for help?" Jiang Yichun got angry and yelled at his men.

A subordinate in black lowered his head and said, "My subordinates were negligent in their duties and did not notice that Old Man Shou Gu had left."

Bai Ruozhu was also worried, but she soon calmed down. She tugged on Jiang Yichun's sleeve and said, "Old senior knew we were coming and left suddenly. I'm afraid he either encountered something extremely dangerous or something really happened." An urgent matter is imminent. He left without leaving a message and is probably being hunted."

"You are right. Now I can only send people to look for him. We will stay in Linchuan City for the time being. If he escapes from danger, he will come to us." Jiang Yichun said.

The two of them took Dengdeng to an inn and checked in. The innkeeper was an enthusiastic middle-aged man. He said with a smile: "Guest, you are from other places. You must not know that today is our day to worship the river god, right? I Let me tell you, our river god is effective. If you have any troubles, just write them in the river lantern. If the river lantern floats out smoothly, your wish will definitely come true. You must try it tonight. .”

Bai Ruozhu was worried about Deng Deng, so how could she think about setting up river lanterns? However, Jiang Yichun was a little tempted and asked, "Where can I buy river lanterns?"

"They are sold by the riverside. You must go there early, otherwise they will be sold out," the shopkeeper said.

The two entered the room. Dengdeng was tired from the past few days and had fallen asleep in Bai Ruozhu's arms. Jiang Yichun glanced at his son and said with some distress: "Let's go put out the river lanterns. Regardless of whether it really comes true or not, it's good to pray for my son."

Bai Ruozhu is a modern person and doesn't really believe this, but she knows that this is the ancient way Jiang Yichun prayed for his children. She thought again that she had traveled through time, and that there might really be gods in the world, or even more than one.

"Okay, let's go now." She stood up and said.

"Let me hold the baby. I'm exhausted these days." Jiang Yichun took the sleeping Deng Deng and held her in his arms.

The family of three went to the river and bought a river lantern according to the shopkeeper's instructions. They wrote down their wishes for a speedy recovery for Dengdeng. Then they carefully put the river lantern into the water and watched as the river lantern followed others. The river lantern drifted away, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes people need a spiritual sustenance.

"Maybe we can find Old Man Shou Gu tomorrow." Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Well, maybe he will come to us on his own."

As she spoke, her gaze fell into the distance. Suddenly her eyes narrowed slightly. In the distance, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old leaned forward a lot in order to better place the river lantern. The skirt hanging down in front of her was Soaked by the river water. The person next to her said something because she was excited and accidentally touched her. The girl's center of gravity was unsteady and she swayed. Her feet slipped and she fell into the river.

"Someone has fallen into the water over there, let's go and take a look!" Bai Ruozhu said anxiously. It was so late at night and the area was noisy. If no one noticed, the little girl might be drowned.

Bai Ruozhu ran to the place where the girl fell into the water. Jiang Yichun hugged the child and called her, "Be careful. Come and hold the child, and I'll go rescue her."

"No, I know how to swim!" Bai Ruozhu jumped into the river without looking back and swam towards the place where the girl was splashing.

She thought of many things in that moment. For example, if she went to hold the child, it might be too late for Jiang Yichun to get into the water again. She also thought that the other party was a girl. If she was rescued by a man and carried ashore while still wet, she would never think about getting married in the future. She didn't want to get into trouble after rescuing someone, so she just saved her herself.

She quickly caught the girl. The girl didn't know how to swim at all, so she flopped farther and farther away from the shore. Bai Ruozhu was afraid that her tugging would put both of them in danger, so he simply knocked her unconscious, and then Drag the person to the shore.

At this time, many people had gathered on the shore, and someone shouted, "Someone fell into the water, someone fell into the water, look whose little girl it is!"

A woman rushed over, hugged the little girl and cried, "My Yu'er, nothing can happen to you. It's all my fault for not keeping an eye on you."

Bai Ruozhu pulled the woman away and said, "Don't interfere with me saving people!"

She started to give Yu'er first aid, but someone next to her shouted, "How can you save her? The River God will be angry!"

Bai Ruozhu made Yu'er spit out the water and gave her acupuncture to wake her up as soon as possible. She didn't have time to pay attention to what the people next to her said. When Yu'er woke up, she noticed that everyone around her was pointing at her. He scolded her, saying that she had broken the rules of the River God, and she dared to save the virgins even if the River God wanted to capture her. If she angered the River God, the whole city would be in trouble.
