Chapter 349： water ghost

The more Chen Guanglu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he simply walked out of the inn with his men.

“Hey! Be careful, your enemies may be coming soon.”

Huang Xiwen called after him.

He is a retainer of Chengjun Prince's Mansion. He and Chen Guanglu collect grain in Qinchuan County, and they have a restrictive relationship with each other.

Seeing Chen Guanglu in trouble today, Huang Xiwen felt very relieved.

Chen Guanglu ignored him, but felt very vigilant in his heart.

The Jiang family is not a good person, and he has to do things for Prince Cheng, so he doesn't dare to act too openly. Otherwise, there is no need to go to such trouble to get revenge.

It's just a matter of killing a few people. It's not like Chen Guanglu has never killed them before. He can just take a few people and kill them directly.

But after killing people, he could no longer move around Qinchuan County and Zhouhe County, and his role in becoming the king of the county was not great.

That's why Chen Guanglu endured the evil fire until now.

When the king of the county issued an order to take Jiang Yingbao, Zhou Wuchang's young disciple, to the county town, Chen Guanglu breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s so good that I don’t have to worry about anything.

Unexpectedly, there was no news about the three people sent yesterday. I don’t know if they were delayed because they didn’t have a chance to make a move, or they were caught.

Chen Guanglu looked around and walked towards the dock.

If the task of arresting someone fails, the worst possible thing is to walk away. Prince Cheng did not stipulate that he must complete the task, so he was not in a hurry.

Coming to the dock, I looked at the big ship with satisfaction.

Having this boatload of food is considered a great achievement.

I don't ask for anything else. As long as I become the king of the county and be awarded a title, my Chen family will be a well-established noble family, and their descendants will enjoy endless glory and wealth for generations to come.

At that time, not to mention the little Jiang family, even that Wu Shi, it would be as easy to crush them to death as an ant.

Just as he was thinking about it, a little kid suddenly ran towards him and said loudly: "Mr. Lang, there is someone waiting for you over there. They say they have something important to report!"

Chen Guanglu felt something unexpected in his heart and asked the little doll: "Who asked you to deliver the message?"

The little baby was eating a piece of candy cake in his hand and said vaguely: "A black-faced uncle."

“How many people are there in total?” Chen Guanglu looked around.

The little baby stuffed the last bit of candy cake into his mouth and said loudly: "A man said that he had a broken leg and could not walk."

Chen Guanglu motioned to his men to look in the direction pointed by the little doll, and he quickly ran towards the big ship.

He was sure that the idiot Gao Xun had done a bad job.

And his intuition told him that the Jiang family would definitely not give up.

The only solution for him now is to avoid all dangers and hide himself until he leaves Qinchuan County.

When he arrived at the sampan, there were porters carrying grain in front and behind him. He followed a porter and stepped onto the sampan.

Halfway through, someone suddenly bumped into him from behind.

Chen Guanglu was unprepared and was knocked into the river.

Originally, he could swim, so he calmed down after being frightened.

But for some reason, his feet seemed to be tightly entangled with something, dragging him straight to the bottom of the water.

Chen Guanglu was shocked and tried hard to struggle but was unable to do anything.

The thing swam deeper and deeper into the water, like a seductive water ghost.

Gradually, Chen Guanglu lost consciousness and finally fell into darkness.

On the shore, several people emerged from the water, swam to the shore, and waved to the people on the boat: "There is no one under the water. They are probably swept into the bottom of the river."

Everybody lamented.

“Hey, why did he run to the sampan when he was so good? This is great, his life is gone.”

Someone asked: "Who hit Mr. Chen just now? Why didn't that person come ashore?"

"Who knows? The sacks weighed us down so much that we couldn't even lift our heads. Who would pay attention to who was behind us." "That person also fell into the river and never showed his head. It's probably finished."

“Oh, what a bad luck!”

Everyone was talking a lot, but soon someone came over and ordered them to shut up and forget what happened today.

It won't be a big deal if a few people don't drown in the river one day.

Huang Xiwen quickly asked people to move the food as quickly as possible and sailed out of Qinchuan County tonight.

Far downstream from the pier, a big gourd emerged from the bottom of the water. At one end of the gourd was a female doll paddling hard.

It was she, together with her father, who tied a rope to the tail of a big fish, then tied the other end to Chen Guanglu's feet, and let the fish send Chen Guanglu to the west.

This difficulty can be said to be great or small.

Because she had to catch a big fish with a pill first and then take it into the cave.

Later, the father disguised himself as a porter and knocked Chen Guanglu off the sampan.

Then, Jiang Sanlang used the rope thrown by the little girl to tie Chen Guanglu's feet.

No matter how good Chen Guanglu was, he would not be able to escape death this time.

Yingbao climbed ashore and it was already dark.

After taking out a pair of dry clothes and putting them on, she released her father and the horse.

As soon as Jiang Sanlang came out, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter was fine.

The little girl took him into the cave at the bottom of the river. She also took him in with a large flow of river water, which washed away many fungi near the pool.

Fortunately, it only washed down a small area and other areas were not affected.

However, it seems that a lot of fish and shrimps were also washed into the pool, and I don’t know if it will affect the water in the pool.

The father and daughter returned home that night, and it was almost dawn.

Chunniang was so worried that she didn't close her eyes all night. When she saw that her husband and daughter came back safely, she immediately went to cook for them.

"There's no need to be busy. We've eaten. You need to rest quickly. Bao'er is also tired. Let her have a good sleep." Jiang Sanlang stopped his wife from working and lay back on the kang.

My daughter soaked in the cold water for a long time, and she didn’t know if she would get sick.

Jiang Sanlang briefly told the whole story. He only said that Chen Guanglu fell into the river and disappeared, but he didn't mention anything else to his wife.

Chunniang didn't ask any further questions. She put some wheat straw under her daughter's bed, then returned to the house and lay down side by side with her husband.

March has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the spring rain has been falling non-stop.

Although the rain was not heavy, it rained continuously all day without the sun, causing the crops to start growing mold.

It was almost May, and it was still raining continuously, and the crops were showing strange signs. The newly ripe ears of wheat and millet began to germinate, which made the villagers extremely anxious.

It is too early to harvest at this time. Most of the wheat is still green pulp and cannot be stored after harvesting.

If you don't harvest it, sprouts will sprout from the large ears of wheat, and you can barely eat it. However, this kind of wheat is extremely easy to get moldy and cannot be preserved.

The villagers were on the verge of crying and came to ask Jiang Sanlang what to do.

Jiang Sanlang had nothing to do.

This year, not only did the ears of wheat sprout and become moldy, but even the fungi began to grow poorly.

Many of them develop worms and turn black before they grow up.

There is no other way but to waste this batch of mushrooms, boil the nutrient medium again, and cultivate the next batch of mushrooms.

The Jiang family’s mushrooms were not affected, especially the mushrooms grown by Yingbao, which were still plump and plump.

On this day, Yingbao and Sister Erni went to pick locust tree flowers outside the village, and suddenly they saw a large group of soldiers galloping towards them on horseback.

They were all wearing armor and carrying bows and arrows. They looked like they had just come off the battlefield.

Yingbao instinctively dragged Sister Erni to hide behind a tree and told her to be quiet, but Dahuang who came with her didn't know what her little master meant and barked at the cavalry like crazy.

So Ying Bao saw the group of cavalry galloping towards this side.
