Guarding a reservoir? I am guarding the river of time! - Chapter 290

“My lord, you are right. The senior didn’t ask for any compensation from me and fixed it for me for free.”

“That senior is a good man. I owe him a huge favor.”

Lao Shi said quietly.

“wrong.”

“We all owe him a favor.”

The majestic man said seriously.

“I’ll give you a year’s leave.” After saying that, he left in a hurry.

After the leader left, Lao Shi suddenly felt that the pickles and tofu in the pot were not as fragrant as before.

After all, there is a big difference between fishing and taking a vacation.

He just liked the feeling of taking a break from the busy work and fishing. Now that he was really given a holiday, he felt uncomfortable.

That night, Su Mu, who was meditating, noticed movement on the river.

He stood up and came to the river. Looking up, he saw a wooden boat parked on the river, which looked familiar.

I walked towards the wooden boat, and when I got closer, I found a figure sitting at the bow of the wooden boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing.

At this time, many fireflies flew on the river. With the dim light of the fireflies, the face of the figure could be seen clearly.

He was an old man wearing cloth clothes, a bamboo hat, and gray hair.

After seeing Su Mu coming, the old man put down the fishing rod in his hand, took off the bamboo hat on his head, clasped his fists at Su Mu and said, “Fellow Taoist, long time no see.”

Su Mu, an old man in civilian clothes, knew him. He had met this old man a few years ago.

He still remembered that after doing him a favor, he gave himself a fishing rod and a stone ring.

These two treasures helped Su Mu a lot, so he was very impressed. His name is also very unique, with only one word – “zero”

“It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zero.”

“It’s late at night, come to catch night fish?”

Su Mu asked with a smile.

“Not entirely, I just happened to be passing by and came to see fellow Taoist.” Old Man Ling said with a smile.

“It seems that Taoist fellow Daoist has lived a good life these years. He is getting younger and younger as he lives.”

Su Mu found that the old man was much better than when he saw him before.

At that time, he was weak even when he spoke and walked hobbled.

But it’s different now. Although his appearance hasn’t changed much, his energy and spirit are really much better, and his words are full of energy.

“It’s also thanks to the help of fellow Taoists.”

“I came here this time to remind fellow Taoists of something.”

Old Man Ling’s expression also became serious.

“What’s the matter?” Su Mu frowned.

“When you are guarding the river, fellow Taoists, you should be careful and be cautious.”

Old man Ling said word by word.

“What you mean is that someone is targeting me?”

Because the incident last time had a great impact on Su Mu. An unknown enemy came out of nowhere and tried every possible means to kill him.

But he didn’t know the man at all, so Su Mu also felt that someone was staring at him.

Could it be that in these years, when he was guarding the river and collecting river crossing fees, he unintentionally offended some big bosses?

Hearing this, Old Man Ling nodded: “Fellow Taoist, you must be careful.”

After finishing speaking, Su Mu replied: “Thank you for reminding me.”

“Ashore for a cup of tea?”

“No, I have something else to do. I have to rush back so I won’t disturb fellow Taoist fellows from resting.” The old man waved his hand.

“See you later.” After saying that, the old man rowed the boat and left the place in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry.

That night, Su Mu did not sleep or practice.

I have been thinking about all the people who crossed the river I met over the years. Who did I offend?

Until dawn, Su Mu couldn’t figure out the reason.

He stood up and stretched, not wanting to dwell on this matter anymore.

He just needs to be more careful. He doesn’t cause trouble, but he is definitely not afraid of trouble. Next time he encounters such a situation that kills him, he will definitely eradicate it.

There was an accident last time and the man was rescued.

“You don’t have to follow me during this time.”

Before going out on patrol, he thought of what the old man said yesterday and stopped letting the little fox follow him out on patrol.

If you really encounter any dangerous situation, you can escape alone.

Hearing this, the little fox also nodded resentfully, and then watched Su Mu leave.

Su Mu went out on patrol. If the little fox didn’t follow him, he would lie at the door and wait quietly for Su Mu to come back.

It’s strange to say that the little fox has been at home for so long, but he still can’t play with Nannan. He sticks to him and follows him from beginning to end.

As he walked, Su Mu patrolled all the way to a brand new body of water.

In order to earn more favor points, Su Mu has to patrol waters that he has never been to before. The more and more complex situations he encounters, the more favor points he will get after handling them.

At this time, Su Mu came to the intersection of a tributary.

He found that the water in the three tributaries extending from this junction was all still, which was strange.

Su Mu walked along one of the tributaries.

After walking for about an hour, he found two other tributaries and came to the side of this tributary.

That is, the three tributaries present three straight parallel lines, flowing in the same direction.

Su Mu quickened his pace.

Half an hour later, the sound of gurgling water came from the front, similar to the sound of the waterfall hitting the bluestone.

Su Mu followed the sound.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he was also stunned.

At the end of the three tributaries, there was a cliff.

This cliff was a thousand meters wide and a hundred meters high.

The water from the three tributaries flowed upward along the cliff.

This sense of déjà vu was like an inverted waterfall.

Because the water in a normal waterfall flows from top to bottom, while the water in this waterfall flows from bottom to top, which completely violates the natural phenomenon.

This also aroused Su Mu’s curiosity.

After approaching this inverted waterfall, Su Mu stretched out his hand, and the moment he touched the waterfall water, he was also stunned.

Because the speed of this water flow is very fast!

He looked up and looked above the waterfall.

Su Mu waved his hand and stopped the water flow directly, because it was not easy to climb up at such a high speed.

After the water flow stopped, Su Mu stepped on the waterfall and walked towards it step by step.

Strangely, the higher he went, the more obvious the heaviness under his feet became.

After walking only 30 meters, Su Mu’s forehead began to sweat.

When he walked to the last 10 meters, his feet were already very heavy, and every step was very strenuous.

There was only one last step left, Su Mu practiced his skills, took a deep breath, and jumped violently.

Arriving at the top of the waterfall, Su Mu stabilized his body and looked forward.
