After a group of people sent Wang Qiang to the mountain and returned to Wang's house, they began to disperse.

Lin Qingzhi was supporting his old uncle and walking towards home.

On a low mountain more than 20 miles away from Ping'an Town, there is a temple called "Taohua Temple".

The low mountain is called Taohua Mountain. It got its name from the fact that a scholar several decades ago planted peach blossoms on the mountain in memory of his wife.

Taohua Temple is very new, having been built only a few decades ago.

There are not many monks in the temple. Apart from the abbot, there are only two young monks.

The ancient Buddha with the green lamp can be regarded as three ascetic monks.

Many aunties in Ping'an Town believe in this temple very much and say it is very effective. For example, Auntie Lin Yu, who has been married to Shitou for so long but still has no son, went to the temple with several aunties in the village to pray for a child.

Linjiang Village is not far from Taohua Mountain.

It's a distance of more than ten miles, but because of the Luo River, the fastest way to get there is by ferry.

A few days had passed since Wang Qiang's incident. On the second day, after the fishermen and ferrymen had found out the news, they started setting out on their boats. However, when a few aunts walked to the dock, they found that there was not a single fishing boat or ferry boat on the river. Only the river was flowing slowly. A few people looked at the river without a single boat in silence.

I don’t know what happened. There was clearly a boat sailing on the lake when they passed by a few days ago.

at this time.

An old man wearing a conical hat came to the small pier. He rolled up his trouser legs and carried a long bamboo pole on his shoulder.

"Brother Wang, why is there no ferry across the river today?" Seeing the old man, an old lady in the crowd's eyes lit up and she quickly shouted.

"Oh! It's Xiao Liu! Where are you going?"

When the old man saw Aunt Liu, he walked up to her slowly and asked.

"Brother Wang, we want to go to Taohua Temple. There were fishing boats and ferry boats there yesterday, but why didn't we see any today?" Aunt Liu asked with some confusion.

"Oh! What a sin! Some time ago, something happened to the fishing king in your village. Last night, something happened to Xiaogang from our village. Someone saw with their own eyes last night that a green hand stretched out from the water, grabbed Xiaogang's thigh and pulled him into the water. In the end, he didn't float up..."

When talking about this matter, the old man slapped his thigh and whispered to everyone.

"Ah! Something happened again..."

Everyone looked at each other, feeling that something was amiss.

Luojiang has been very peaceful for hundreds of years and nothing has happened, but two things happened in the past few days.

If this is true, they really can't go to Taohua Temple.

You can only cross the river to Taohua Mountain after the matter is settled. Otherwise, you can only take another route, which is to go to Ping'an Town first, and then cross the Luoshen Bridge outside Ping'an Town.

As a group of women with faith in their hearts, and a group of women praying for their families, this distance means nothing, so after saying goodbye to Old Man Wang, they turned around and walked towards Ping'an Town.

The news that a fisherman in Wan'an Village was dragged into the water by a water ghost spread like wildfire. In just a few hours, even Lin Qingzhi at home heard the news.

However, he ignored it. Although there is a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but he is the kind of person who will not take the initiative to cause trouble unless trouble comes to him.

As for reopening the reincarnation cycle, it was because he was afraid that trouble would come to him in the future, and because the fisherman Wang Qiang had often taken care of Lin Qingzhi and his two children, allowing him to reincarnate safely was considered a way of repaying him a favor.

As for the water ghosts in Luojiang, Qian Yi, the night watchman from the Night Watch Department, is in charge.

At the gate of the yard, Lin Fan was once again carried back by Shi Tou. Lin Qingzhi took Lin Fan with a smile and treated his son's body. Then Lin Qingzhi left the room.

Today he went to the bank of Luo River not far away to cut some bamboo, preparing to make some traps and traps.

He had to have an income, but he didn't want to make refined salt and sugar. It was too troublesome and would definitely attract greedy people, which would then cause more trouble.

He made some traps and snares, placed them in Luojiang River and the mountains, put some spiritual water in them that the prey could not refuse, caught some prey and big fish and sold them for money. Even if the villagers saw them, they would not suspect anything.

Half an hour later, Lin Qingzhi had just returned to the yard carrying a bundle of bamboo when he saw Lin Yaoyao sitting on the steps, holding a small bowl in her hand and eating the food that Lin Qingzhi had left for her.

"Yao'er is awake. Is the steamed egg delicious?"

Lin Qingzhi asked with a smile after putting down the bamboo.

"Daddy, it's so delicious. I want to eat steamed eggs tomorrow morning..." Lin Yaoyao said happily, raising her little face covered with pheasant eggs.

"Okay! Daddy will make you some steamed eggs tomorrow."

Walking forward, Lin Qingzhi took out a small handkerchief from her pocket, wiped her smiling face, and then replied with a smile.

This handkerchief was sewn by the two little ones when their mother was still alive. His wife has been gone for a year and no one knows where she is now.

Shaking his head, Lin Qingzhi knew that she would come back one day, so he didn't think about it anymore.

Taking out a hatchet, Lin Qingzhi began to make a ground trap.

"Daddy, what are you doing?" Xiao Yaoer squatted beside her and looked at her father's actions with some curiosity.

"Daddy is making traps and snares!"

"What is a ground trap? Is it delicious?" Xiao Yaoer raised her head and asked curiously.

"You little foodie, you can't eat the ground trap."

"Oh! Daddy, why are you making something that can't be eaten? Isn't this a waste of time?" Xiao Yaoer pouted and shook her little head, feeling that her daddy was stupid.

"Although the ground trap can't be eaten, it can be placed at the bottom of the river to catch fish! Then Xiao Yaoer will have fish to eat. There are steamed fish, braised fish, fried fish, and many more..."

Lin Qingzhi wanted to tease his woman, and while talking he described the cooking methods and taste of the fish.

Every time Lin Qingzhi mentioned the name of a dish, Xiao Yaoer would swallow her saliva, and finally her big eyes would stare straight at Lin Qingzhi, with the word "want to eat" written all over them.

"I'll make it for you when daddy catches some fish, okay..."

"Yeah, yeah! Daddy, you have to keep your word!"

"Of course, how could Daddy lie to such a cute little Yao'er!"

"Hehe... We have fish to eat, and there are many ways to cook it. Daddy is so awesome. Next time I see Xiaoguozi, I will definitely tell her and see if she's greedy..." After hearing what her father said, Xiao Yaoer immediately stood up and turned around.

As expected of a foodie, she becomes extremely happy whenever food is mentioned.

It was not until noon that Lin Qingzhi finished making the four ground traps. As for the small trap, Lin Qingzhi had completed the preliminary preparations and could install it directly when he got to the mountain.
