"...... It was said that it was dark. The boat owner and the boatman were tired for a day and wanted to quickly pass through the canyon in front and stop to rest for the night. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the depths of the canyon. The sound was like this-"

"Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-"

An old mother had a mysterious expression, hanging her throat, dragging her throat, and her tone was rising and falling. She gestured to a boy who was only four or five years old who looked at her with his face raised.

"Young Master, have you heard it clearly? It's this kind of sound! It's not the sound of the wind! It came out from under the water! It's so scary! The young apprentices on the boat have never encountered them before. They were scared and all of them were so scared that they trembled with their legs. You know what the sound is?"

Without waiting for the boy to answer, the old mother bent down and approached him, her eyes widened and her hands grabbed the sky.

"It's a water ghost!"

The boy blinked his eyes and the two long rows of eyelashes moved. The girl beside him screamed, but she didn't know whether she was scared by the old lady's words or herself. The old lady threw a squint to her with a timid and contemptuous look on the corner of her eyes, and continued to gesture.

"Wow, there were three kingdoms fighting for hegemony in ancient times. On weekdays, over the past thousands of years, I don't know how many ships have sunk and how many people have drowned. In the end, they all turned into water ghosts and were trapped under the water! They were unwilling to give up, so they took advantage of the dark moon and high winds to come out to make waves, and specifically looked for those with weak yang energy and short life. As long as they dragged down the living people, they could be reincarnated..."

"Old Li, what are you talking nonsense? How dare you talk nonsense in front of the young master?"

Just as the old mother was talking, a scolding suddenly came. The old mother turned her head and saw that Honglian was coming. She quickly straightened her waist and closed her mouth, but she felt unwilling to accept it. So she muttered in a low voice: "Young Master, you asked me to tell stories by yourself-"

"You are still stubborn! The young master asked you to tell stories. How old are you talking about these people who are dying? If he is afraid and frightened, he will not be spared!"

Lao Li stopped talking. Honglian left her mother, twisted her feet and grabbed the boy into her arms and hugged her tightly.

"You're not scared, are you?"

The boy shook his head.

"I'm not afraid. The third duke told me that there are no water ghosts in the river. That sound is called water roar, which is the movement of the large vortex at the bottom of the water. The third duke also said that when the night is late, there are about ten miles away, and the experienced boatman in their water club can hear it, just like a warning, reminding them to be careful when passing by."

The child spoke late. When he was almost three years old, he didn't speak, and he was anxious. Finally, he put down his work and thought about various ways to make trouble. He was always worried that he was a little mute. Later, he finally spoke, and his mother was relieved. However, he was still not happy to speak on weekdays, so his mother was worried again, fearing that the child's IQ was not good. Unexpectedly, he suddenly said such a long series of difficult words. Although he was so stingy, he remembered clearly and spoke clearly, which shocked everyone around him.

"My little heart! Listen, listen carefully to me! Who says you can't say good things! You're obviously talking so well! We just don't want to pay attention to people normally! Oh! Why is your mother not here? I didn't hear it! And your father, when he comes back, my aunt will tell him to go!"

Honglian was really happy and reacted, hugging the boy and praising him non-stop.

The three dudes mentioned by the boy are Wang Niqiu, the leader of Shuihui. Because he was originally ranked third and was the sworn brother of King Zheng Long, the boy respected him as the third dude afterwards. As for Honglian, she was not here on weekdays, and this time she came at the beginning of the year, with the purpose of taking care of the boy. Although the old mother knew that Honglian had a close relationship with the master's family, she came soon after she was born, and was scolded by her. She was still a little dissatisfied with her. Now she is also very happy and praises: "It's still the young master who is smart! This is called a real person not showing his appearance! He doesn't like to talk, but actually knows everything!"

The boy desperately drilled out of Honglian's arms, "Mom Li, you can continue talking."

The old mother glanced at Honglian and said embarrassedly: "Young Master, didn't you just say that it was a whistle?"

"The story you told is nice, I want to hear it."

The old mother suddenly felt excited and made an innocent expression that was nothing to do with Honglian, and started to speak again: "... It was time to say that, just as everyone was shaking their legs, the boss of the boat walked to the bow of the boat calmly. He took out a wooden sign, raised it high, and shouted at the other end, "The Dragon King is here, the water ghost retreat quickly! As soon as he finished speaking, the sign emitted a golden light, which illuminated half of the river in an instant, and had not blinked yet. What a good guy, the ghosts who were still making trouble at the bottom of the water in front of him, drowning ghosts, and the water ghosts who were unable to think about jumping into the river and regretting that they jumped away! Seeing that the movement was gone, the boss of the boat quickly closed the sign, opened the sail again, shook and rubbed it. In this way, he passed the test smoothly and steadily."

"I know! I know this!" The girl also rushed to get in.

"This Dragon King is not the Dragon King in the Water, he is the Dragon King Zheng of the Water Society! Everyone says that he became an immortal a few years ago, and really became the Dragon King. He will always bless the ship on the river! The wooden sign is his token!"

The old mother kept the meat to say until the end and was snatched away by the little girl, and she muttered, but the boy looked confused and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he held it back.

"Okay, OK." Honglian happily picked up the boy, turned around and walked in, "Let's change clothes, your father will come back later, pack up early and wait."

"Auntie, is the Dragon King my grandfather?" The boy put his mouth to Honglian's ear and asked softly.

"He is still there. Mom said that grandpa and mother-in-law are traveling to the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland together, and they may come back to see me one day. Why do they say that he has become an immortal?"

"Grandpa has been guarding the waterway for so many years. He is tired. Now he is handed over the burden to your third husband. Everyone can no longer see him, but they still miss him, so they all said that."

The boy seemed to understand, but he didn't continue to ask questions.

"Your mother, my sister and uncle, are they going to come back together to celebrate your birthday. Are you happy?"

The boy's surname is He and his name is Mingen. He is the son of Su Xuezhi, He Hanzhu. In a few days, it will be his fifth birthday, but unfortunately, his mother is not at home now. As for where he went, it will be a long story.

Last year, for her outstanding contributions in the development of antibiotics, she was awarded a World Medical Award of the year without her own knowledge. At that time, the news came and the whole country was excited, but in the end, she did not accept the award, and replaced it with a letter. In the letter, she stated that the achievement of this achievement was not her personal contribution, and for some inconvenience to be made public, she could not and dare not accept such honors. What should be included in the hall of honor should be medical practitioners in the world who are struggling unremittingly with diseases in the past, present and future. After evaluation, the committee decided to respect her wishes. At the same time, the Medical Award of this year was vacant by unanimous votes to express the jury's highest respect and affirmation of this medical achievement.

Although she did not attend the meeting to receive the award, an international medical conference was held soon after. She undoubtedly became a special guest. For the purpose of medical sharing and communication, she did not refuse this time. Coincidentally, her sister Helanxue obtained a doctorate in medicine after years of hard study and was about to return from her studies. In order to attend the meeting, and to attend Lanxue's graduation ceremony, and witness a commemorative moment in her life together, Su Xuezhi planned to go abroad.

This trip took at least half a year. His son was young and was not suitable for his fellow travelers. He Hanzhu could not leave his affairs for so long to accompany her abroad, so although he was extremely reluctant, at the beginning of this year, Su Xuezhi still set off with the medical conference and the principal and others to take a boat to Europe. Two months ago, He Hanzhu received her confirmed return schedule. Seeing the ship schedule, she returned home before her son's fifth birthday. There was no problem.

Over the past year, my mother went abroad and my father was busy with business and could not be with me at all times, so Honglian came to the He family again to take care of Xiao Mingen.

The day my mother came back was this weekend. He Mingen had already secretly remembered it clearly in his heart. At this moment, when he heard Honglian ask him, he nodded, and a small face showed a bright smile: "Good! I really want to know my aunt and uncle!"

"Also, mom is back and I'm going to celebrate my birthday with dad!"

He thought for a while and added another sentence in a solemn tone.

It was a coincidence that Xiao Mingen's birthday was the same month and day as his father He Hanzhu.

When he celebrated his first year, his father He Hanzhu was at home, but he was still young at that time, so he naturally had no memory. He had two years old, three years old, and four years old last year. He had memories, but every time he celebrated his birthday, his father went out for different reasons and could not come back. Therefore, He Mingen was very looking forward to the birthday that his father could finally celebrate with him at home.

"Yes! Your mother is back, and you can celebrate your birthday with your father!" Honglian smiled so hard that her eyes became a slit, "Let's go, your father should be coming back soon, aunt changes you clothes, and wait for you and your father to have supper together!"

At the provincial government office, the visitor got up and went, the secretary followed him and said that the next group of people who were originally scheduled to meet had arrived, and people were waiting in the waiting room, whether to bring them now.

"Are you the old people who sealed the so-called petition letter for the People's Handprints?"

"Yes. They believe that it is insulting to allow ordinary schools and ordinary colleges to recruit female students at the same time. The old system should be restored to recruit male students alone. As for female students, they have their own female school to go to. They also said that even in foreign countries, they are branches of men and women, and they strictly guard the defense line..."

This group of so-called local geniuses have been bothering themselves more than once for this matter. He Hanzhu had never seen him before, but later he was very upset. He originally planned to call him here today and talk to those people. But now, he looked at the time and was in no mood to talk to those people again, saying, "Cancel, there is something happening temporarily, but I'll be gone. Tell them on my behalf. According to the latest data statistics from the Education Bureau, in just eleven counties under the provincial government, there are more than 5,000 families who have signed up to send girls in their families to study, not to mention the rest of the province. If the new policy is not implemented, where can so many female schools come from out of thin air? They oppose, let them find ways to pay and build more female schools. When will they solve this problem help me solve this problem, I will do everything they want!"

Now, not only in the provincial government, but also in Xiatou County, many parents are gradually changing their minds and are willing to send girls to school. The reason for this change has played a great role in the publicity Su Xuezhi has done over the years and her role model power.

The secretary was stunned, then held back his laughter and nodded: "I understand! I will reply to them now!"
