Chapter 633 The Clown Is Actually Myself
This cake looks like an ordinary sugar cake with a special name.
Yan Ruyu touched it with her hand, and there was no warning in the space, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the cake.
After taking a bite, Yan Ruyu asked in confusion: "Mother-in-law, why is this cake called auspicious cake? What is the son of the water demon?"
Grandma Sun lowered her voice: "Have you never thought about why your ship broke down?"
Li Jingyao was stunned and thought to himself, isn't this just an excuse? What's the reason?
Yan Ruyu blinked curiously: "Why? The sailors on the ship couldn't tell the reason. Anyway, it's broken and needs to be repaired."
Grandma Sun's voice was even lower: "That's because there are evil spirits under the water."
Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "The son of the water demon?"
"No, no, the son of the water demon will not harm anyone easily. As long as the offerings are in place, he can protect people."
Grandma Sun's voice was low and hoarse, the light in the room was dim, and there was a slight night breeze in the courtyard. At this moment, it was actually a bit eerie.
Li Jingyao had been dealing with water for so many years, so naturally he didn't believe this. He ate the cake silently, thinking that people just like to make up stories, and he didn't know where the son of the water demon came from.
Yan Ruyu asked: "Protector? How to protect? What offerings do you want?"
Grandma Sun replied: "The offerings are different. Some people give more, and some give less. It depends on your own conditions and requirements.
The son of the water demon is benevolent and will not be demanding. "
Li Jingyao couldn't help but laugh briefly: "Since you are benevolent and righteous, you shouldn't ask for any offerings. If you ask for offerings, don't mention benevolence and righteousness."
Zi Su cleared her throat.
Grandma Sun frowned and said, "You can't say that. How can you ask someone to do something with nothing? What's more, you are the son of a water demon. How can you be ordered around at will? It's not appropriate."
Li Jingyao was noncommittal, but he strongly denied it in his heart, believing that this son of a water demon was not a good thing.
Yan Ruyu asked: "Grandma Sun, who is this son of the water demon?"
Granny Sun said in a gentle tone: "Speaking of which, you should have heard of it. Did you see a large village when you came here?"
Yan Ruyu nodded: "I've seen it before."
Huo Changhe asked: "Is it the one with the water bandits?"
"Exactly," Granny Sun said firmly, "their surname is Li, the head of the village, and he is the son of the water demon."
Li Jingyao almost choked to death on the cake he just swallowed.
Huo Changhe lowered his eyes and drank water.
Zi Su silently poured a glass for Li Jingyao and pushed it over.
Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter: "Grandma Sun, isn't Master Li a water bandit? How could he be the son of a water demon?"
"The water bandit is just his identity on the surface. In fact, he also has a hidden identity, that is, he is the son of the water demon. In the past few years, boats were robbed in Shui, which was not peaceful. Later, the Li family gathered those loose bandits into the stronghold and established a If we follow the rules, we can live a good life."
"As you just said," Grandma Sun glanced at Li Jingyao, "We are all at ease, enjoying peace, and don't think anything is wrong. It was not until recently that the situation occurred frequently, and we felt that it was wrong to do this."
"Blessings from gods and Buddhas require a stick of incense. He is the son of a water demon, how can he use it in vain? So, we started to make offerings and pray for peace."
Li Jingyao: "..."
Huo Changhe asked: "Then you should take the offerings to Shuizhai and give them to him directly. Isn't this more effective?"
Li Jingyao looked at him deeply, and Huo Changhe just pretended not to see him.
Grandma Sun said: "Young people don't understand this. The son of the water demon is his dark identity. How can he reveal his identity to others at will? It is even more impossible to accept offerings. Besides, it's not just him, but also his father, the water demon."
Li Jingyao couldn't help but want to refute, my father's surname is also Li, my ancestors are all surnamed Li, and they are all human beings.
Just as he was about to speak, Huo Changhe glanced at him and said displeasedly: "It's all because of you, who doesn't do business every day, delays my sister, and angers the demon god, so our ship is damaged here!"
Li Jingyao: "..."
Li Jingyao swallowed the words silently and lowered his head in silence.
Yan Ruyu's face darkened: "Brother, if you say that again, I will ignore you."
Huo Changhe looked away, and Yan Ruyu said to Granny Sun, "Then we also want to prepare an offering, but we don't know how to do it?"
Grandma Sun quickly stopped her: "We can't do it tonight."
"Why?"
Grandma Sun lowered her voice again: "Tonight is a big day. The water demon appears. No one is allowed to disturb us, let alone go near the water."
Li Jingyao sneered secretly: "The water demon appears? How?"
"I don't know that. No one knows. I just listened to the repeated orders from Li Zheng. You must stay at home tonight. You are not allowed to light the lights or go out."
"Li Zheng? Did Li Zheng say anything about the water demon and his son?" Li Jingyao gritted his teeth.
This dog is so upright that he deserves to be killed, right?
"That's right," Granny Sun nodded, "Li Zheng is well-informed. His son is still studying in the city, and the whole family is knowledgeable. What he said will not be false."
Li Jingyao took a bite of the cake with regret: bullshit knowledge.
Yan Ruyu was embarrassed: "If you are not allowed out, how can we get back to the ship?"
Zi Su took the opportunity and said, "Why don't you just stay at my house? Anyway, there are only two of us and my sisters-in-law at home, so we can live in a crowded place."
Yan Ruyu didn't refuse: "That's really troublesome for you."
Grandma Sun didn't dare to delay any longer, so she took her things and left.
Mrs. Zhou didn't really want to chat, especially since she felt that neither of the two men were very happy.
"Sister-in-law, you've been tired for a long day. Go to bed early and I'll take care of it." Zisu said.
Mrs. Zhou didn't get what she asked for, so she stepped into the house with a few polite words.
Yan Ruyu flicked her finger, and the sleeping pill popped in and exploded silently.
Not long after, Madam Zhou fell asleep.
Li Jingyao couldn't hold himself back for a long time.
"What's going on? You said a letter before, and you wrote me a letter?"
Zi Su said: "Exactly, there is a rumor about the son of the water demon that has been circulating here for nearly two months. I feel it is wrong, so I wrote to you specifically. Haven't you seen it?"
Li Jingyao shook his head: "I've never seen it before."
Otherwise, why would he be so passive and excited today?
"Did something go wrong on the way to deliver the letter?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"The person who delivered the letter was a boatman who traveled back and forth on the water. I asked him to deliver the letter twice. He only said that it should be delivered to the water village and to my uncle, and he put it in his old clothes. Every time he came back, he said, "The letter was delivered to me." arrive."
Zisu's uncle was the leader who died to save Meng Beiling. People in the village didn't know that he had died long ago, they only thought that he was still in the water village.
"If it's not the boatman's problem," Huo Changhe looked at Li Jingyao, "the boss needs to check inside your water village."
Li Jingyao's face was gloomy, which was what he was most worried about.
It would be really embarrassing if there was a mole in the water village and he became the son of a water demon for so long.
"I'll write a letter to Beiling and ask him to investigate secretly."
In case of emergency, Li Jingyao also brought carrier pigeons this time.
Yan Ruyu stopped him and said, "Don't use your carrier pigeon. If there is a spy, he might be found out. It would be really bad if he scares the snake."
