Originally, everyone's attention was focused on the man and child who were saving people in the river, but when Lin Daiyu grabbed the willow tree, many people looked at her again.
Such a weak girl hugged the willow tree to...
My dear mother! The peddler, who was still holding a shoulder pole, saw that Lin Daiyu stretched out her arms to only hug half of the tall willow tree, which was actually swaying in her arms, and his hometown dialect blew out.
The same goes for everyone else.
Everyone looked at the dirt flying under Lin Daiyu's feet as if they had seen a ghost.
In just a few breaths, the willow tree actually fell to the ground at an angle.
Seeing the long tree roots and the fresh soil, everyone felt a sense of unreality.
Jia Lian slapped himself again.
The burning pain made him realize that this was not an illusion.
What happened to Lin Daiyu? Did she really encounter a fairy? Lin Ruhai rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking that he was seeing things.
Is this girl who brazenly pulled out the willow tree and carried it toward the shore really his daughter?
There was complete silence all around, with only the creaking sound of Lin Daiyu's feet stepping on the ground.
Carrying the huge willow tree, Lin Daiyu did not feel the weight at all.
She strolled to the shore and slowly lowered the willow into the water.
The man in the water was also stunned.
It was not until the willow branch hit him that he came to his senses. He grabbed the child with one hand and quickly grabbed a thick willow branch with the other.
After a while, the man and the child were pulled to shore.
The crowd remained silent.
Even the woman who had earlier cried for help just stared blankly at Lin Daiyu.
She was awakened only by the cry of a young child and rushed to the child.
The crowd suddenly began to boil like boiling water.
"Thank you so much!" The woman knelt down holding the child in her arms to express her gratitude.
"This girl is born with supernatural powers!" someone exclaimed.
"May I tell you the girl's name?" Someone came over.
Faced with the messy crowd, Lin Daiyu simply touched the silk handkerchief on her face.
Fortunately, the silk handkerchief didn't fall off! These people probably can't see their own appearance.
She glanced at her father from outside the crowd, nodded imperceptibly, turned and left.
Seeing that many people were catching up with her, Lin Daiyu simply turned her legs and started running.
She was not tall, and her dress was somewhat restrictive.
But to everyone's surprise, her running speed was not slow at all, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"How strange! There is such a wonderful woman in the world. Could she be the reincarnation of Lu Zhishen in Water Margin?" A man who looked like a scholar shook his head and sighed.
Turning around, he noticed a middle-aged man staring at him unfriendly.
The scholar scratched his head in confusion.
Just as he was about to ask the other party if he had any different opinions, he saw the man hurried away.
Lin Ruhai's face was gloomy and full of doubts.
He knew very well what his daughter's situation was.
If she was the reincarnation of Xi Shi, it would be fine, but what about Lu Zhishen? However, when Lin Ruhai thought of the scene where Lin Daiyu uprooted the weeping willow, his expression became a little dazed.
What you hear can be false, but what you see with your eyes cannot be false.
The muscular and powerful girl just now is completely different from my daughter's previous image.
Could it be that the Bodhisattva took a fancy to his daughter and accepted her into the Vajra Sect? Lin Ruhai was in a state of confusion.
"Uncle." Jia Lian walked forward.
Lin Ruhai took a look and sighed silently.
Jia Lian must have seen what happened just now, so this matter cannot be concealed.
How will my daughter get married in the future?
Is there anyone who dares to marry her?
Just when Lin Ruhai was secretly worried, he heard Jia Lian lower his voice and said, "Uncle, Sister Lin might have met an immortal!"
Lin Ruhai was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The idea of the female Bodhisattva taking a disciple was just a casual thought for him and he did not take it seriously.
Could it be that Jia Lian had the same idea as me and took it seriously?
There are no gods in the world! "Even if the most powerful strongman in this dynasty couldn't even lift the willow tree, let alone pull it out," Jia Lian said quietly.
Lin Ruhai was stunned.
He turned his head and looked.
Several men were standing around the willow tree, trying to lift it. Even with the combined efforts of five or six men, they were unable to lift the tree.
My daughter's extraordinary strength is indeed something that only ordinary people can achieve!
"Also," Jia Lian continued, "Uncle, do you know how you woke up?"
Lin Ruhai frowned: "Didn't the quack doctor make a wrong diagnosis?"
He always thought that the doctor exaggerated his condition and gave improper treatment, which almost caused him to be sealed to death in the coffin.
Fortunately, my daughter noticed it in time.
That's not right. How could she open the coffin for no reason?
Jia Lian whispered, "I saw it clearly yesterday. My uncle had indeed passed away. It was Sister Lin who took out an elixir..."
He described the appearance and the strange fragrance of the elixir in detail, and said, "This kind of elixir is definitely not something from this world!"
Lin Ruhai was silent.
He pondered the changes in his body.
When he woke up this time, he was indeed full of energy as if he had been reborn. Some of his previous illnesses had disappeared, and he even had sex with his sixteen-year-old concubine last night.
When he looked in the mirror in the morning, he discovered that the few strands of white hair on his temples had turned black.
If you think about it carefully, all of this is indeed unusual.
Lin Ruhai said calmly: "Who else knows about this?"
"It's just me." Jia Lian said.
Lin Ruhai nodded slightly and said, "Don't make this public."
This matter is of no trivial importance.
This is a pill that can bring people back to life! If it were to be revealed, not to mention the ordinary dignitaries, even the emperor would have to snatch the person away.
He didn't think he could protect his daughter with his own abilities.
Even if it is his father-in-law's family, I'm afraid they can't do anything.
The Jia family seems glorious, but none of the many men have made any achievements in officialdom. Without successors, I'm afraid their glory will not last long.
When those people learn about my daughter's destiny as an immortal, they might even take the initiative to go to the palace to exchange for wealth and honor.
He didn't want his daughter to become a bird in a cage, and he didn't want to use her as a bargaining chip.
Lin Ruhai's face was gloomy.
Jia Lian is a very smart person, so how could one not see what he is thinking?
He knew what kind of people the elders in the clan were. They had always had a good impression of the weak Lin Daiyu, so he would not make enemies with her at this time.
"My sister is much happier with my uncle. I think it's better for her not to return to Beijing," he said.
Lin Ruhai looked at him in surprise and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled and said, "In this life-and-death situation, I don't want her to leave again."
"Lian'er, please visit us often in the future," he added.
Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "Uncle is right."
The atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious, and they quickly returned to the mansion while chatting and laughing.
Lin Daiyu had changed her clothes and was sitting quietly under a crabapple tree in the yard reading a book.
Seeing her quiet appearance, Lin Ruhai subconsciously looked at Jia Lian, and his expression became more serious.
Without waiting for the two to speak, Lin Daiyu put down the book and looked at them.
"Daddy."
"Second brother."
She shouted with a normal expression.
The word "Daddy" dispelled Lin Ruhai's doubts.
He smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Daiyu interrupted him and said, "You want to ask about what happened just now?"
"Yes." Lin Daiyu admitted without hesitation.
"I knew it!" Jia Lian clenched his fists, extremely excited.
"What do gods look like? Do they have a scaly body, a green brow, and a bald head, and are different from ordinary people?" Lin Ruhai asked curiously.
Lin Daiyu smiled and shook her head: "No, the gods look the same as us."
"What did the immortal say?" Jia Lian asked.
Lin Daiyu shook her head: "I was worried about my father, so I asked the gods for a life-saving elixir without asking any more questions."
Seeing that Jia Lian wanted to ask more, she took the initiative to say: "Before leaving, the gods gave me a cup of wine. After drinking the wine, I became extremely powerful and became what you see today."
Lin Ruhai looked surprised.
Jia Lian couldn't help but ask, "Just one cup?"
Lin Daiyu nodded slightly.
Jia Lian was secretly disappointed.
He also knew that even if Lin Daiyu really had another cup, there was no reason for her to give it to him, but he still had a glimmer of fantasy.
"Can you see that immortal again?" Jia Lian asked tentatively.
Noticing her father winking at her, Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Of course."
"Really?" Jia Lian was so surprised that he almost cried out.
Lin Ruhai frowned secretly.
He didn't really want his daughter to behave abnormally.
Lin Daiyu's thoughts are different from her father's.
She didn't stay in the tavern for long, but she vaguely heard something.
Purchasing fine wines with incredible powers requires time and space coins, and before she left, she happened to see someone exchanging them for gold.
She had been secretly thinking about it at that time.
How could she not desire such fine wine?
If nothing else, it would be great to let my father live longer and have him always by his side.
But my father was a man of strong character, so it was not appropriate to ask him to raise gold.
She knew Jia Lian's character very well, so cooperating with him was a good idea.
With my father looking after me, this should not be difficult to implement.
"Of course it's true," Lin Daiyu said seriously, "I was invited to the immortal's cave."
She held the book in one hand and put the other hand behind her back, and said calmly: "In the cave, there is not only fine wine that can make people powerful, elixirs that can bring people back to life, but also fairy peaches that can extend people's lifespan for a thousand years..."
After reciting many items she saw in the tavern in one breath, Lin Daiyu looked at the two of them silently.
Jia Lian's breathing had become rapid.
Even though Lin Ruhai had practiced qi cultivation very well, his face was filled with shock and he showed some signs of being moved.
"These things can't be taken or taken away at will, right?" Lin Ruhai asked.
Jia Lian also came to his senses and looked at Lin Daiyu.
"Of course not, otherwise the person standing in front of you would be Fairy Lin." Lin Daiyu smiled playfully.
"You!" Lin Ruhai reached out and touched his daughter's forehead, a gratified smile on his face.
This is still his daughter, and she only behaves so naughty occasionally when she is in front of him.
Jia Lian blinked in surprise, thinking that he didn't expect that there was such a side to Lin Daiyu.
But what Lin Daiyu said completely aroused his interest.
No matter what you get, it will be a complete transformation.
Compared with this, wealth is nothing.
He also knew that what Lin Daiyu said was true.
How could such a treasure be obtained without any conditions?
"What do you need?" he asked.
Pure soul? Devout faith? Or something else? Jia Lian racked his brains to think of something valuable to the gods, but unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu uttered two words that he could never have thought of.
"gold."
"Gold?" Lin Ruhai was surprised.
"Yes, gold." Lin Daiyu nodded, "A lot of gold."
"How much is a lot?" Jia Lian asked hurriedly.
"I'll go and take a look." Lin Daiyu said.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian both looked puzzled.
"Wait for me for a moment."
As Lin Daiyu finished speaking, her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The two of them looked at each other suddenly.
Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air, but as expected, he found nothing.
He realized he was wrong.
My daughter has the ability to disappear from her place at any time. If she were really sent to the palace, she might be worshipped by the emperor.
Jia Lian secretly swallowed his saliva, realizing that he had underestimated Sister Lin.
He then became excited again.
Lin Daiyu is very smart, so she wouldn't be too presumptuous to say such a thing.
Since she told me about this, maybe I can get a piece of the pie.
…
In the tavern.
Ying Yinman and others were talking about Lin Daiyu.
The person who spoke was Uncle Nine.
He has been in the tavern for quite some time and has saved a lot of money by hunting zombies and evil spirits.
Compared with other guests in the tavern, his strength is not worth mentioning, but in the world he lives in, he can almost be called the number one.
The most outstanding disciples of Maoshan, and even the senior Taoist priests, were far from being able to compare with him.
But this was the first time he had such a glorious time in a pub.
Ying Yinman, Xiaobai, Xiaolongnu, Huang Rong and others surrounded him and listened quietly to him telling the story of Dream of the Red Chamber.
"After Lin Ruhai's death, Lin Daiyu was the only one left in the Lin family. She was sent to Rongguo Mansion alone..."
"The old lady of Rongguo Mansion naturally took care of this helpless granddaughter. In addition, she received the inheritance from the Lin family, so her life could not be described as miserable..."
"Jia Baoyu is the old lady's favorite grandson, the future heir of the Jia family, and Lin Daiyu's cousin. He grew up surrounded by women. The two are of similar age, childhood sweethearts, and gradually fall in love..."
Ying Yinman couldn't help but interrupt, "If I could marry her cousin and become the mistress of the Jia family, that wouldn't be a bad thing, right?"
Xu Sanduo, who was standing by, bluntly retorted: "Marriage between close relatives is illegal."
"This is a closer relationship!" said Huang Rong.
"That's a remnant of feudal thinking. Close relatives marrying each other will easily give birth to deformed children." Xu Sanduo stiffened his neck and said, "If you don't believe me, ask the doctor."
Several people looked towards Sun Simiao who was not far away.
"That's right." Sun Simiao affirmed.
He happened to read the book "Genetics" recently, and combined with his own experience, he was very sure about this.
"Could it be that their child is deformed?" Xiao Longnu was surprised.
"That's not the case," Uncle Jiu shook his head and said, "Lin Daiyu is sentimental and lonely, but Xue Baochai wears a golden locket, and her jade with Jia Baoyu is a perfect match, so the old lady of the Jia family brought them together."
"Didn't they say that the old lady loved Daiyu very much?" Huang Rong asked in confusion.
"No matter how much she loves him, can he compare to her own grandson?" Uncle Jiu asked.
"Will Jia Baoyu agree?" asked Xiao Longnu.
"Xue Baochai is not ugly." said Uncle Jiu.
Ying Yinman snorted, "He is so heartless and disloyal."
"Where is Daiyu?" she asked again.
Uncle Jiu did not answer, but looked behind Ying Yinman with an embarrassed expression.
Lin Daiyu was standing there prettyly.
"It's okay. Go ahead and tell me. I'm curious too." She smiled, but the expression in her eyes was somewhat mysterious.
