Chapter 444 [Legend left by Li Yue]
Wei He unhurriedly narrated what happened back then, and Li Yue was beside him, interjecting from time to time to add details.
Soon what happened became clear and abundant in their statements.
After Li Yue used the tortoise's breath, his relatives and neighbors didn't notice the abnormality, so they took Li Yue in according to the funeral customs nearby.
Because Li Yue worked diligently and conscientiously, and brought some money with him at the beginning, he lived a good life, so they were able to devote more resources to his father's affairs. So before Li Yue's sons and daughters put him into the coffin, they changed him into a more luxurious inner garment, and then moved him into the coffin and nailed him for burial.
The process of the funeral was not much different from the surroundings, except that an extra music team was hired, and a few more pieces of meat were added to the meal for relatives and friends, that's all. Lying in the coffin, and using the turtle's breath technique, Li Yue couldn't see the outside situation, but could vaguely hear it.
The next thing was the ashes to the ashes. Li Yue only needed to get rid of the spell that made him look old and come out of the grave.
However, Li Yue got some surprises in the turtle's breath technique.
This spell can not only make him enter a hibernation-like state, but also allow the subject to enter a comfortable deep sleep and slowly adjust the body. Although he has a demon body and is well-cultivated, decades of hard work have left him with some pain, so Li Yue slept very comfortably in the coffin.
I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but this time he fell asleep, he caught up with the matter.
Hedong Village selected the cemeteries with the most suitable surrounding conditions for the ancestors, all of which were placed high on the hillside, with good Fengshui. But the most important thing is that the terrain here is high, there is no risk of submersion during floods, and there is no threat of landslides, which is much better than the location of houses in the village.
One day, Li Yue felt that she had slept enough, so she dug a hole from under the coffin and prepared to leave here.
He even planned to go to Jiangnan to take a look and visit the legendary wonderful place.
After leaving his tomb, Li Yue noticed something was wrong outside.
The showers continued, and the sound of the water boomed.
Standing on the hillside and looking towards Hedong Village, Li Yue was surprised to find that Hedong Village was already in jeopardy under the impact of the embankment burst flood. The scale of this flood was far greater than in previous years, and even threatened Hedong Village itself. People who stayed in the village built strong roofs to hide on it, hoping that the water level would recede as soon as possible to reduce casualties.
What made him feel a little suffocated was that those people hiding on the roof, in addition to his neighbors and folks, also his children and grandchildren. And the buildings around Hedong Village, some of which are quite old, have begun to collapse under the impact of the flood.
At this time of danger, Li Yue immediately showed his original shape.
Relying on his talent in water, he quickly moved forward in the flood, and after finding Hedong Village, he simply jumped out of the water in the shape of a dragon. Li Yue used his magic power to move all relatives and old relatives who were not out of danger to the safest place nearby.
It is also the place where Li Yue was buried in the ground before, that is, the cemetery of Hexi Village, where the terrain is quite high and the flood cannot reach it. With the evacuation of the last group of people, the damage rate of houses in Hedong village increased sharply, and the water depth gauge inserted by the river also showed a larger reading.
Although there has been a gap in the embankment here, there is continuous rainfall upstream, with flood peaks one after another, and the amount of water coming in is still increasing, and the most challenging moment has yet to come.
After settling these people down, Li Yue didn't speak or entangle, and he didn't even talk to each other. He just jumped into the river in one breath, swam for more than ten miles, and then climbed out again, as if he wasn't the one who saved people in the water just now. the same as myself.
In a moment of desperation, they were suddenly rescued by a jiao jumping out of the river, and the villagers of Hedong Village felt like they were in a dream. According to rumors, after Li Yue left, the villagers stared at the collapsed Hedong Village building for a long time before talking about the origin and identity of this dragon.
It was just a wild guess at first, after all, it was all formed by the condensation of my own imagination, but the villagers with good memory and good eyesight suddenly realized that the cloth wrapped around Jiao's body looked very familiar. So he asked several people to confirm that the other party was indeed wearing the same inner garment as the old man Li had worn when he was buried.
People who got the talking material tried their best to guess and talk. This is the only way for them to relieve their mental pressure in the face of the flood in front of them. So in the constant guessing and talking, the flood that kept destroying their homes in front of them seemed to be a little bit farther away from the hillside where everyone was.
As for the whereabouts of Father Li after his death, there are also many mysterious theories.
When the flood receded and everyone began to rebuild their homes, these guessed stories instantly had several stable versions and began to spread around. All kinds of bizarre experiences that only appear in story books were attached by the villagers and used on Father Li.
Over time, the guessers themselves believed it.
This is also what Wei He just said, Li Yue has already left his own legend in Lizhou, although no one knows the real situation, and no one knows the name of that Jiao. Although there are quite two or three stable rumor versions, it is a lie to say that Li's father turned into a jellyfish after his death.
Wei He spoke with great interest, and he told Fang Chang:
"In any case, it was incomparable that they were saved by a dragon in the flood. So Hedong Village even raised funds to build a small temple for the dragon that saved them in the flood. The temple is not big. It is only as tall as one person, and it was not completed in the village until Hedong Village was renamed Hexi Village, after the villagers had finished rebuilding their homes."
Beside Li Yue shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, let them do it, as long as it doesn't waste people's money and money. For me, that small temple even has some benefits, but I'm so ignorant that I can't tell the difference clearly."
Before coming here, Li Yue hadn't eaten yet, so she shouted "Brother Wei, you have to take care of my food" and pushed the door into the courtyard. So the three of them cleaned up the deep-fried dough sticks in the basket, ate up the vegetable soup and the two dishes of stir-fried vegetables, and left only a plate of pickled vegetables on the table.
The portion of vegetable soup was not enough on the way, Wei He went outside to ask for hot water to make a pot of rough tea to accompany the meal.
After eating and drinking enough, the three of them worked together, washed the dishes and returned them to the host, then wiped the table, put the teapot back on the table, poured tea and chatted.
