During the Qingming Festival, it rained continuously for several days. Hongye has lived here for several months. Although she is not a warm person, she is familiar with the neighbors nearby.

Holding an oil-paper umbrella, he walked slowly towards the residence. He found a job as an accountant in a cloth shop on the next street. Nowadays, people who can read and know how to settle accounts can be regarded as senior technical employees. Finding a job should not be too easy. Gold fingers are useless.

"grandmother..."

As soon as he approached the door, the cries of the children next door came faintly.

Next door to Hongye lived a family surnamed Jiang. The couple set up a stall at the pier to sell some food every day. Every day, an old man and two grandchildren were left at home.It has been raining for the past few days, and the Jiang family and his wife close their stalls earlier than usual, so they should be home by this time.

After living for such a long time, the occasional crying of children can no longer attract his attention.

Hongye put away the oil-paper umbrella, opened the door and went back to the room.

As a demon who has cultivated human form for hundreds of years, Hongye doesn't need to eat, but since he wants to live as an ordinary person, he has to cook three meals a day.

The messy crying of the child next door still didn't stop. Hongye lit the stove with dry wood. He also tried to be quick and didn't want to save trouble. He sat idly and watched the small flame in the stove burn slowly.

Now, what he lacks most is time, and he likes to do everything slowly, as if this can make time pass faster.

The sound of banging on the door was clearly transmitted to the kitchen in the not-so-big yard, "Brother Ye, Brother Ye...are you there?"

The little boy's crisp childish voice was still crying, the kitchen was only two steps away from the door, Hongye immediately got up and opened the door after hearing the voice, "What's wrong?"

Jiang He is the eldest son of the Jiang family next door. He is usually very aggressive. He brings his younger brother Jiang Hai to fight cats and dogs with the children in this area.At this time, it was a miserable appearance that had just been abused.

When the child saw the door open, his eyes lit up, "Brother Lin, my grandma fell, and my parents haven't come back yet..."

As he spoke, Jiang He's eyes turned red again, "I can't help grandma..."

"Don't cry, I'll go and have a look." Without further ado, Hongye closed the door and followed Jianghe to Jiang's house.

Grandma Jiang was leaning halfway beside the stone steps of the main room, her gray gown was mostly wet by the light rain, and Jiang Hai, who was only five years old, was crying while insisting on holding an umbrella for her.

It was wet and slippery in rainy days, and it was estimated that I slipped and fell when I stepped down.

Grandma Jiang's face was pale, and she was so weak that she could only hum softly. Hongye carried her back to the house, "Aunt Jiang, where is your pain?"

"Legs...legs..." Grandma Jiang leaned weakly on the couch, humming with a trembling voice.

The two brothers Jiang He and Jiang Hai didn't speak, but kept wiping their tears away around their grandma.

It's not a trivial matter for an old man to fall, maybe he got hurt somewhere, Hong Ye took out a small bottle from her bosom, "Where are your parents?"

"I don't know. Uncle Wang on the opposite side said that there was a big wave on the pier, and several people were swept away. Grandma accidentally fell because she was anxious to see it." Jiang He said while crying, "Everyone is on the pier to watch Go, I can't find anyone to help grandma, woo woo..."

Many people living in this area are doing small businesses near the pier. It is normal to run to find someone when they hear the news, but how can there be big waves at this time?

Hongye patted the child's head reassuringly, "Grandma is fine, Brother Ye was an apprentice in the medical center before, this small injury will be cured immediately."

Jiang He looked up at him pitifully, "Really?"

Hongye affirmed: "Really!"

After all, he is a demon, such a small problem can't help him, the old man's face was pale with pain, Hong Ye poured out a small pill from the bottle, squeezed a little for Grandma Jiang, and used the old man's misplaced bone by the way The demon power is righted.

After a while, Grandma Jiang's complexion improved visibly with the naked eye, and the two children next to her immediately rushed forward with joy.

Jiang Hai is still young, so he just keeps repeating: "Grandma, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

Jiang He: "Grandma, are you feeling better?

Grandma Jiang fell and her whole body hurt like hell, but her feet hurt the most, so when Hongye asked her where the pain was, she said her feet first, but after Hongye took the medicine for him, she felt warm , Slowly spread from the stomach to the whole body, as if the whole person is soaked in warm water.

Just breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the two grandsons lying on the side, he could only raise his hand to comfort the grandson's head, and looked at the neighbor standing beside him, "Xiaoye, it's thanks to you this time, otherwise I would really be an old woman." I don't know what will happen!"

Hongye waved her hand indifferently: "A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, and it's just a hand in hand. Don't worry about it!"

The old lady didn't say much, she just kept this kindness in her heart, but when she thought of her son and daughter-in-law who didn't know how to live or die, her eyes immediately wet again, "Xiaoye, Aunt Jiang, I have something to ask for your help."

Seeing the old lady struggling to get up, Hongye stepped forward to give her a hand, "Aunt Jiang, if you have anything to say, I will definitely help if I can!"

"Xiaoye," the old lady held Hongye's hand, her wrinkled face was full of worry and pleading: "I heard from Uncle Wang that there was a big wave at the pier and many people were washed away, and your big brother Jiang is also there." There is a stall by the pier, and my aunt doesn’t want you to go to the pier, so you can ask for me, ask nearby, has anyone seen you Brother Jiang.”

As she spoke, the old lady shed tears.

Unable to see the relatives who brought him up crying so much, and worried about his parents, Jiang He volunteered to say, "Grandma, don't cry, I'll go and get my parents back."

After speaking, he turned around and ran outside.

"Stop." Seeing her grandson messing around like this, the old lady was so anxious that she almost rolled off the floor, "Come back!"

There were people coming and going at the wharf, and Jiang and his wife had to work, and they were afraid that they would not be able to take care of their children, so they never took their children there, for fear of accidentally losing them.

Seeing that Xiao Jianghai followed suit, he turned around and wanted to run out with his brother, but Hongye grabbed the child by the collar and dragged him back, telling him, "You stay at home and take care of grandma!"

Turning to appease the old lady again: "I'll go and have a look, don't worry if you're at home."

The location of Chengshan City is excellent, from where the Lingshan River flows into the river, it is connected to Yancheng County in the south, faces the river in the west, and faces Changwu City across the river.Since the wharf was built a hundred years ago, there are countless boats coming and going every day. No matter whether it is sunny or rainy, there are people coming and going, and it is very lively.

At this time, the area around the pier was indeed empty, and only a few figures could be seen wandering by the river in the distance.

The people who came here after hearing the news only dared to watch from a distance from the shore. In April, although it was raining lightly, the river surface was calm. If the tea sheds built on the shore were not overturned by the waves, no one would have seen it with their own eyes. , but would not believe that there would be such a big wave at this time.

Hong Ye led Jiang He closer, and only then could she vaguely see the people by the river, in gray Taoist robes, and magic weapons glowing with golden light.

Hongye's heart trembled, it seemed that this was really not an ordinary wave, there should be powerful monsters making trouble, otherwise it would not have attracted so many Taoist priests.

Looking at the people who are hundreds of feet away from the river but still can't help watching the excitement, Hongye lamented that curiosity killed the cat. If a demon with high morals fights with a Taoist priest, at such a small distance, they are simply living targets.Fortunately, there are many people around, otherwise he would be completely exposed to a group of Taoist priests without getting close.

These days, monsters and Taoist priests are mortal enemies, and they will never die when they meet each other.

Hongye was in trouble, and when the Jiang family couple couldn't find it, Jiang He pointed to one side and shouted excitedly: "Father, mother..."

The Jiang family couple was soaked through, but they were taking care of the injured man in the open space beside him. Hong Ye also knew the man, and Chen Da also lived on the same street as them, and usually worked hard at the pier unloading goods.

The Jiang family was also lucky. Because of the rain, there were not many customers. They closed the stall ahead of time. Just after walking back for a while, a wave hit and only wet the clothes. The people and the utensils for the stall were all in good condition. It's just pitiful. Some people were standing near the pier, some were involved in the river, some were overturned by the waves and fell out.

The waves come and go quickly.

The Jiang family couple hadn't recovered their senses yet, and the waves went away quietly just like when they came, leaving only a mess on the ground.

They were taken aback. They wanted to leave quickly, but just happened to meet the injured Chen Dasheng. Chen Dasheng was tall and strong, and it was a bit difficult for the Jiang family husband and wife to support them together, let alone they still had food. To move, the two eventually moved Chen Dahe and his things slowly to the open space here, and waited for the messenger to call Chen Da's family to pick him up, so they went back a little later.

"Xiaohe, why are you here?" Jiang Sheng looked anxious, the evil nature of the waves, and those Taoist priests, although he didn't believe in these things, he still felt a little uneasy.

"Father and mother, you haven't come back so late, I'm here to find you."

"Grandma fell and couldn't get up, daddy and you don't come home... woo-woo..." As he spoke, Jiang He recalled his grandma's fall and no one to help him, and his father and mother's panic and helplessness. He started to cry.

When the Jiang family heard that their mother had fallen, they were in a hurry and didn't know what to do. Just when Chen Da's family came, they even forgot the cart with the stove, bowls and chopsticks, and didn't pay attention to standing there. The red leaves in the crowd pulled Jiang He back.

Seeing that those Taoist priests were still only around the river, Hongye decided to be a good person to the end and helped Jiang's family bring the cart back.
