Lu Qi hid his figure in the dense forest and watched the scene happening by the river dozens of steps away.

When the young woodcutter cried sadly for the axe sinking into the river.

The ‘River God’ emerged from the river and asked softly.

"Young woodcutter, why are you crying here?"

The young woodcutter saw the "River God" floating out of the river, with a childish face, and an extraordinary temperament, just like a legendary immortal. He was stunned on his honest face, and was extremely surprised and quickly knelt down.

"See... I've seen the old god."

"No need to be polite. I am the river god of this river. Is there any difficulties you have encountered? Maybe I can help you."

The kind-faced old man stroked his white beard and chuckled.

"River God? Pay a visit to Master of the River God!

Returning to the Lord of the River God, I usually make a living by chopping wood and support my mother at home.

But just now, I accidentally dropped the axe that chopped wood into the river, and then I cried in a hurry."

The young woodcutter felt extremely distressed and said anxiously.

Lu Qi looked at the figure flying on the river, his eyes slightly condensed.

He felt a little familiar from the old man, and there seemed to be a demonic aura rising behind him.

"Same kind, monster?"

Lu Qi was thinking deeply.

Don't understand what this monster wants?

Why do you pretend to be a river god and deceive people? What are the benefits for him?

"By the way, this monster can float in the air, it should be much more powerful than me.

I wonder if he noticed me.”

Lu Qi's thoughts moved, and he carefully observed the old man's expression and his eyes moved slightly.

"It seems that he didn't notice me at all, or did he just pretend to be unaware of it?"

"It's easy to deal with when the axe falls into the river.

I just need to fish the axe for you.”

Hearing the woodcutter's words, the "River God" smiled and said.

He turned and sneaked into the river.

After a while, the "River God" floated out of the river with a golden axe in his hand.

"I found an axe. Do you think it was the axe you dropped?"

Judging from the words of the "River God" and the actions of holding the axe, he seemed to have no idea of ​​the value of this golden axe, and just regarded it as an ordinary axe.

The young woodcutter looked at the golden axe with his eyes straightened.

If he could get this axe, he would probably not have to chop wood or worry about food and drink anymore. The mother at home could live a good life with him.

But he remembered his mother's earnest teachings to him, telling others to be honest and not to take things that are not his own.

and……

The young woodcutter kneeling on the ground looked up at the "River God" and then quickly lowered his head, and a hint of fear flashed across his honest face.

As the saying goes, there are gods who rise up three feet high, how dare he deceive the gods?

"Back... Go back to the river god, this axe is not the one I fell into the river."

The woodcutter stammered back.

"Not this?"

The "River God" sneaked into the river again, and after a while, he caught a silver axe and asked again.

The silver axe was also very attractive, but the young woodcutter gave up even the golden axe, let alone a silver axe.

He was much fluent in answering this time.

“Not it.”

The "River God" sank into the river for the third time and finally picked up the axe that the woodcutter actually fell into the river.

"Then should be this one?"

"Yes, this is the axe I fell into the river.

Thank you, Master He God!”

The woodcutter knelt down and bowed and thanked.

The "River God" stroked his snow-white beard, his eyes were smiling, and he praised.

"It's great that you can still keep your true feelings in front of gold and silver.

Your honesty is more valuable than gold and silver.”

"Since that's the case, I will give you the other two axes."

"What?"

The woodcutter's expression was beyond surprise, and it was a little unbelievable.

‘River God’ waved his sleeves.

The three axes with gold, silver and iron were floating in front of the woodcutter.

He stared at the two golden and silver axes in front of him, and he could hardly pull them out in his eyes.

As for the iron axe that he was crying anxiously for just now, he had been directly ignored.

"Are these two axes mine?"

The woodcutter was immersed in surprise for a long time. After he came to his senses, he kept bowing excitedly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Master He!

"You can give these two axes, but... I have a condition."

A strange light flashed secretly in the eyes of the "River God" and said.

"I will give you these two axes, so you are not allowed to hide them. If anyone asks, tell him the whole story.

Let everyone know the benefits of being honest."

“Yes…yes.”

The young woodcutter held three axes, was delighted and excited, and nodded instinctively like pounding garlic.

But then he hesitated again.

Although he is honest, he is not stupid, and he understands the principle of not showing off his wealth.

If a thief with greed is targeted, how can he end up?

"You're worried that someone knows that you got these two axes to murder you?"

The "River God" caresses his beard and comforts his soft voice.

"You don't have to be afraid, I will protect you, and no one can harm you."

"With the protection of the River God, I will not be afraid." The woodcutter showed a simple smile on his face.

"Very good, go..."

"River God" waved.

The young woodcutter left happily with three axes in his arms.

I didn't care about the firewood chopped on the ground before.

With the golden axe and the silver axe, he no longer has to chop wood in the future.

"It's soon, it's soon..."

The "River God" looked at the woodcutter's back for a long time, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, murmured in a low voice, turned around and sneaked into the river, disappearing.

Lu Qi, who was hiding in the forest not far away, saw this scene and was sure that this "river god" really didn't notice him.

It would be better not to show that sinister look in front of him.

"strangeness?

This guy feels far better than me, and he didn't even notice me."

Even Lu Qi himself was a little unbelievable.

"When this person finally sneaked into the river, he seemed to be mumbling something, and I didn't hear it clearly.

Otherwise, maybe you know what he is going to do.”

Lu Qi's eyes flashed.
