Beside Qinchun Spring.

Boss Tu took the incense copper coin paid by Qinquan Dragon King, twisted it again and again with his thumb and index finger, put it in the corner of his mouth and blew it again and again. After carefully distinguishing it for a long time, he said expressionlessly:

"The quality of this copper coin meets the conditions and can be used as tax."

After saying that, he threw it with his other hand, and the two carps returned to the Qinchun Spring with two "pops".

For two days, the carps swung their tails half-deadly, as if to tell others that they were still alive.

Ao Qing couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when she saw this, and a smile appeared on her face. Her sacrifice was not in vain, and this season's incense tax was finally met.

Boss Tu collected the taxes, but there was no trace of joy on his face.

Compared with this insignificant copper coin, he would rather see Ao Qing unable to pay taxes.

"Huh, it's just a tax payment once, don't get too carried away!"

He snorted:

"Because you are an old friend, I won't charge you interest this time. Next time, remember to pay taxes on time, otherwise it won't be as simple as a copper coin."

After saying these harsh words, Boss Tu did not embarrass Koi too much and finally left.

This world is very long, there will be many things to deal with in the future, and many things need time to be polished.

Good things take a long time! Those who achieve great things must be patient.

This is the fundamental reason why he has been able to survive as a tax envoy for many years.

Mr. Tu left, but the words he left behind were deeply imprinted in Ao Qing's heart. This season of paying taxes was passed without any danger, but what about next time?

If you want to gather incense and copper coins, you must sacrifice living beings.

There has been a severe drought for three consecutive months, and all the living things in this spring spring have been reduced to pieces, and the incense is not as good as before. It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to try to gather a copper coin for incense in one season.

Are you going to borrow it again?

Ao Qing returned to Qinchun Spring with a lot of worries, and saw a dark yellow carp swimming over angrily, and cursed loudly:

"Look at what a good Dragon King you are, borrowing money can delay you for so long. Do you want to kill your two nephews?"

Ao Qing felt aggrieved today and was planning to go home and find someone to talk to.

Unexpectedly, Fei Fei did not receive comfort from his family when he returned home. Instead, he was greeted with abuse.

A line of tears could no longer hold back from flowing out of her beautiful eyes.

"Cry, cry, cry! You just know how to cry!"

Ao Qing shed tears, but Huang Carp not only did not mean to comfort him, but actually scolded him even more fiercely.

"Look what happened to your two nephews. If I hadn't secretly used magic to maintain them, I'm afraid they would have died at the hands of that bully."

"I shouldn't have let you inherit this Dragon King in the first place!"

Ao Qing lowered her head and allowed her mother to scold her. Suddenly she thought about it and said with disbelief:

"Wait, you still have magic power left?"

She knew that in order to cope with this severe drought, many living beings in Qinchun Spring worked hard to maintain the water source of Qinchun Spring. It was not until the magic power of all living beings was exhausted that they went their separate ways to make a living.

Even he, the master of the spring, only has a few emergency powers left. Why does his mother still have some energy left?

Being questioned suddenly, Old Huang Carp seemed to know that he was in the wrong, his eyes were a little evasive and he did not dare to face Ao Qing directly.

But the next moment, she woke up again.

Now there are only three or five small fish in Qinchun Spring, all of them are his grandsons, and the Dragon King is his daughter, so he has nothing to be afraid of, and he suddenly becomes hardened.

"Do you think that everyone is like you, a hot-blooded young man who spares no effort in doing things? When you become a Dragon King, you can't wait to dedicate yourself. If I hadn't been here today, Ao Ding and the others wouldn't have been killed by you!"

After his mother scolded him, Ao Qing suddenly entered a certain state, his mind was calmer than ever before, and he did not cause the slightest disturbance.

Before today, she might have been ashamed, but after experiencing today's changes, her heart seemed to have quickly become stronger in a very short period of time.

"wrong!"

Her mind was running at an unprecedented speed and she quickly caught the loopholes.

"You still have no traces of mana fluctuations on your body, so you must have used external force."

If Qin Chunquan had external help, she wouldn't be in such a miserable state today.

Therefore, this item must be somewhere beyond one's control.

She couldn't help but her eyes fell on a scale on the yellow carp whose luster was slightly different from other parts.

She knew that was where her mother stored her things.

Eliminating all impossibilities, the only answer becomes obvious.

She stared at her mother with burning eyes, like a hungry wolf staring at its prey, but her voice was so calm that there was no fluctuation:

"Do you have any of your father's and brother's belongings?"

Old Huang Li had never seen his daughter look like this before, and felt a little chill all over her body. She was silent for a long time, and replied in a hoarse voice:

"No, it means no. How many times have I told you not to worry about them anymore."

Upon hearing this familiar answer, Ao Qing turned around expressionlessly, a teardrop quietly falling from the corner of his eye.

She pursed her lips and stopped talking. She swam exhausted to a corner, where there was a water palace symbolizing the Dragon King.

…

"Geez~"

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, the roosters crowed impatiently, and Yishicun soon woke up from his deep sleep.

Today, the busiest area in Yiyishi Village is undoubtedly Qinquanbian.

The villagers lined up in a long line carrying wooden barrels, chatting about news and past events in twos and threes.

A small figure crossed the long dragon fetching water, came alone to the altar under the boulder, and silently placed a shriveled rat stem.

Wei Wu recognized him at a glance. Only the most naughty little kid in the village would do such a sacrifice.

Wei Wu looked at him curiously. The day's plan starts in the morning. Early morning is usually the time when every household goes to the spring to fetch water. This little kid also helps his family fetch water in the early morning. Why did he change his gender today?

With the last experience, the little kid's prayer movements seemed much more skillful. He clasped his hands together and lowered his head and whispered:

"Master Shi, the merciful and righteous God who saves the suffering, Ergou brought you your favorite rat, I just ask you to save my mother. Abba said, if there is no blessing from the gods, my mother will leave me forever, Ergou

I don’t want my mother to leave.”

After saying the prayer, he looked back at the rat on the altar repeatedly as he did last time, and reluctantly left.

Wei Wu looked dumbfounded at the rat on the altar, wondering how this little kid could have such a wrong impression of his love.

However, is the little kid’s mother about to pass away?

A figure appeared in Wei Wu's mind. At first, the figure was an innocent and romantic little girl, and then it kept changing like a slideshow. From wearing a wedding dress to holding an infant child, the appearance of the figure in different periods gradually became clear.

His mother's name was Tie Sanniang, and she almost grew up in a stone village. Wei Wu had witnessed her life, and now it seemed that he was about to witness her departure.

Is it time to say goodbye again?

Since people settled in Yiyishi Village, the earliest group of people have bred for three generations.

Wei Wu saw many separations between life and death, but he still could not reach the legendary state of being indifferent to life and death.

Birth, old age, illness and death are the laws of heaven and earth, and cannot be shaken by an ordinary earth spirit.

Wei Wu was in a low mood and fell into memories again. Suddenly he was shocked and realized that something was wrong.

"Tie Sanniang was in her prime at this time. Unless something unexpected happened, she shouldn't have passed away so early."

"No, I have to go and have a look. Maybe there is a chance of improvement. Even if things don't work out, I can see you one last time."

Tiesan's natal family is very close to the boulder and is within the range of activities.

With a thought from Wei Wu, the spirit turned into a shadow and soon came to her home.
