The daily life of the river god

Chapter 1 The new river god takes office

In the center of Chengzhong Village in the west district of Zengcheng, Lu Wenren stood on the old stone bridge in the middle of the river, looking at the waste river full of rubbish under the bridge with a flashlight.

I don’t know how long this river has not been cleaned. Under the circular light beam of the flashlight, it has transformed into countless shared bicycles, domestic garbage, kitchen waste, and old household appliances, blocking the four-kilometer-long river. It's full.

Four or 10 minutes later, the new River God, who had surveyed the entire river pollution situation, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his former boss who had just resigned.

The new three hundred river gods: "I want to resign."

It was one o'clock in the morning, but the former boss on the other end of the phone still responded to his text messages in seconds.

Former River God: "But our family's god is inherited from the ancestors. Your grandfather passed it on to me, and I passed it on to you. You can only resign and pass it on to the next generation if you have a child."

The new three hundred river gods: "Is there a faster way?"

Former River God: "If there is, your father, I won't wait 300 years for you kid to break out of your shell!"

.

The previous river god, Luzhai, was a black dragon. Since he married Lu Zhuzhu, the mother of the aquarium, Lu Zhuzhu gave birth to [-] dragon eggs in less than two years.

Luzhai thought that for at most 20 years, he would be able to resign and go home after the birth of the children in these eggs, and live a happy life with his wife and children on the kang.

Among them, 299 dragon eggs crawled out of the eggshell one by one as he expected within 20 years, transformed into adults and then gradually grew into adults.

Just the last egg left.

This egg has not hatched in the eggshell for 300 years. Luzhai looked forward to the stars and the moon every day. After waiting 300 years, the last son was successfully hatched, and it took another 18 years to wait for him to grow up.

He succeeded in making himself the river god with the longest accumulated serving time in the River God Realm, which made everyone feel sad and cry.

On the day the three hundred sons came of age on the same day, Luzhai immediately went straight to the Heavenly Court with the river map in his arms, and after passing on his position to his sons, he resigned on the spot.

Now unless the Tianzhu collapses, Luzhai is determined not to drill out of the Crystal Palace at the bottom of the Yellow River.

Among the river gods of all dynasties, there has never been one as miserable as him, who worked for more than 300 years before retiring.

The conversation came to nothing, and the former boss thought of his hard life of working for 300 years, and threw his mobile phone on the spot to go fishing to vent.

Lu Wenren, who just took office for the first day, stared at the black screen of his phone, so he could only put on the suitcase at his feet, walked down from the old stone bridge to the Heshen Temple, and opened the memo on the phone.

This mobile phone was a contact tool given to him by Heavenly Court after he became the God of the River, and it also contained work notes left by the God of the River before him.

The new river god walked to the right hand side of the 卝-shaped river, and opened the memo as he walked, trying to find out a piece of content related to garbage cleaning among the many precautions.

But he looked through all the river god treaties and still couldn't find a useful one. Lu Wenren stuffed the useless mobile phone into his pocket, raised his head and walked forward.

Go down from the old stone bridge and turn to the right side, walk about 500 meters to the right, and you can see a half-meter-high stone tablet on the side of the river, inserted obliquely on the river bank.

The light of the flashlight shone on the top of the stele, and the two words blurred on it could still be vaguely seen.

The river used to be named "Cloud River".

The shape of the river and the location of the river temple are also printed on the stele.

Above the oblique corner on the right side of the 卝 character, there is a small temple in the shape of Lu Wenren's home from now on.

Before he has no descendants, this river temple will accompany him through the next few hundred years of his life.

Lu Wenren stepped over the half-buried stone tablet in the river, walked forward for about 100 meters, and finally saw his river temple, which covers an area of ​​one square meter and is only one meter high.

There is a brown incense burner at the entrance of the temple, and half a furnace of incense ash is lying in it.

The newly appointed River God squatted at the entrance of his main temple, pointed the flashlight at the temple door, and pushed the temple door open with one hand. There was a wooden dragon statue in the center of the main hall. I don’t know when it was carved. It was smoothed out, and it looked like a crocodile rather than a dragon.

Lu Wenren reached out and took out the statue used to absorb the power of belief in the world, wiped off the dust on it and put it back in place.

Another black tile above the main hall was lifted to reveal a booklet placed underneath.

This booklet records the names and addresses of all non-human beings within a [-]-kilometer radius around the river in Zengcheng West District.

This is the rule of the world. All non-human beings who enter the territory blessed by the righteous god will abide by all the rules within the jurisdiction of the river god.

The new River God opened the booklet that was about to fall apart, and shone a flashlight on the list registered on it.

Trying to find a "non-human" who can let him spend the night, preferably tomorrow, who is willing to clean up the river with him.

The earliest record of the booklet was no longer clear what was written. Lu Wenren carefully flipped through the fragile pages, and finally saw a clear and square name written on the No. 20 third page.

Time: May 1996, 8.

Name: 虺 (HUI)

Temporary residence: the first small western-style building on the upper left of the word 卝.

After reading the registration, Lu Wenren flipped through it, and found that it was all yellowed pages without a single name.

Since 25 years ago, within the jurisdiction of this river, there has never been a non-human being.

All the names from 25 years ago have been corroded by wind and rain so that they cannot be read clearly.

Crouching on the ground, the new River God flicked through it again with a flashlight, trying to find a backup list from this book.

After the registration book was almost torn apart by someone, Lu Wenren finally confirmed that there was only this non-human named 虺 in the book.

"There's not even an alternative." It seemed that he and this non-human named 虺 could only deal with the cleaning of the river.

I hope that the other party is a young and powerful non-human being.

Lu Wen made a wish from the bottom of his heart, but stood up after stuffing the register in his arms.

The new river god standing in front of the river temple looked up and looked around, and soon found the small western-style building that the non-human said on the opposite bank not far away. .

At this moment, in the first small western-style building on the upper left of the 卝 character, more than [-] non-human beings are sitting on both sides of a two-meter-long table for a meeting.

The first one on the right was wearing a royal blue community uniform, and the meticulous Nine-Tailed Fox with long hair pulled back turned the ballpoint pen in his hand, and said lazily, "Let me first explain the latest situation in the West District. This newcomer to the West District The new river god, named Lu Wenren, has just turned 18 this year, and is the youngest son in the Yellow River Crystal Palace."

The three-eyed young man on the left, who was grinding his nails, held the delivery helmet in his arms and continued, "Should we kill him first and then bury him, or bury him first and then kill him?"

"Kill him, do you want people to know that there are a group of non-human beings living here, or do you want to tell your uncle that you are not an immortal here to deliver food?" Jiuwei glanced at the young man opposite, and looked up angrily. A man standing in the dark with his eyes closed in the distance: "Boss, what do you think? Should we pay respect to this river god or make an offering? Or find a place to lock him up?"

As long as he doesn't die, the godhead on the opponent will always be there, and Heavenly Court will not come to investigate the situation in the West District for no reason.

She advocated locking people up and offering them food and drink.

"Hallelujah, we can influence him with love, wouldn't it be wonderful to let him join our big family?" The girl in the blond white dress clasped her hands in front of her chest, and a ray of holy light appeared in her mind as a halo. back.

"Are you sure the gods in heaven can understand your bird language?" The weasel spirit sitting in the corner scoffed at this idea.

Maria, with a holy light on her head, looked at this rude non-human with dissatisfaction.

If you don’t know the language, you can learn it. It’s good to just use the Bible as a teaching tool. .

Outside the door, Lu Wenren, who had come all the way, stood in front of this small two-story western-style building. The light at the door was automatically sensed. He stopped here before knocking on the door, and the light turned on.

"Hurry up and decide, what is your plan? There is no other news about this person except for 18 years? Is the news channel of your neighborhood committee too low-level?" In front of the long table in the living room, Poseidon told Nine-Tailed Fox quite dissatisfied.

What is the difference between knowing this news and not knowing it.

"There's nothing about his combat effectiveness, personality, likes and weaknesses, etc.?" The three-eyed young man sitting across from him holding a takeaway helmet also looked at Nine-Tailed Fox.

"No, this river god is going ashore for the first time, unlike his brothers who have already grown up ashore, so it's not easy for me to find out his name, okay? Neighborhood committees are where humans deal with the daily life of the community. It's not for you to investigate the secrets of the gods!" Kyuubi showed his dissatisfaction with this group of non-human beings who misunderstood the scope of his work.

"Ding dong... ding dong..."

The doorbell of the small mansion rang.

The twenty or so non-human beings sitting in the room immediately stood up, staring nervously at the direction from which the doorbell came.

After Lu Wenren rang the doorbell outside, he stood there patiently waiting for the non-human inside to open the door for him.

In the room, more than [-] pairs of eyes were looking at the doorbell that was still ringing persistently. Among them, the weasel spirit sitting at the end of the long table jumped up first, with a pair of flat eyes trying to open into mung bean shapes and staring at everyone present, "Yes!" Who! Who didn't come today?"

At a glance, all the stools on both sides of the long table were filled with non-human beings from the West District, not one more and one not less, and all of them were here.

"Do not open the door?"

Outside the door, the new God of the River rang the doorbell twice but did not wait for the door to open. He looked up in the direction of the small western-style building in puzzlement. The lights behind him were shining clearly.

Inside the door, the owner of the house, who had been silent for a long time, came out from the corner under the vigilant eyes of a group of non-human beings, showing his face as cold as frost in winter, and went out to open the door in front of many non-human beings.

The non-humans on both sides of the long table watched this scene helplessly, and the air in the room began to become thinner. The timid non-humans wanted to escape, and the bold non-humans had already pulled out their weapons and prepared to fight.

In this tense atmosphere, the courtyard door of the small western building was opened from the inside.
