Chapter 106: Water Ghost
From Meng Guobao's description, Meng Hao can roughly judge that there must be a problem by the river, under normal circumstances, the government has specially posted a reminder sign and made a protective fence, as long as it is a normal person, he will not take the initiative to walk over, and then drown.

What's more, the water is more than one meter deep, and the current is not very fast, and it is not easy for a sober adult to drown.
Soon, the car arrived at the Tuojiang River in the west of the town, and the two got out of the car and quickly rushed to the river.
There was a large crowd of people around the river, and the sound of crying came from the crowd, tearing hearts.
Meng Guobao's face was heavy, there was safe production in the work he was in charge of, and although the responsibility for this kind of thing was not him, he was also in a bad mood.
Meng Hao didn't immediately squeeze into the crowd, but looked around.
This place is close to the Tuojiang River, and there is a row of bowl-thick willow trees by the river, with clear branches, and some branches hang directly into the river.
On the left was a small hill, about three or four meters high, and on the hill was a willow tree the size of a basin, with its branches so luxuriant that it almost enveloped the whole hill.
A cold aura permeated the surroundings, making it much cooler than anywhere else.
"This place is usually very cool, and everyone likes to come here to enjoy the coolness, and they must have accidentally fallen down."
"Yes, at the beginning, I heard someone shouting for help, and then I jumped into the water to save people, who knew that people were not saved, and they had an accident."
"It's fate."
The onlookers talked a lot, and Meng Hao basically understood the situation.
"With such a shallow river, even if someone falls into the water, how can a few people jump down and not be rescued, and a person is still hit."
Meng Hao's heart was full of doubts, opened his yin and yang eyes, and looked into the river.
At this look, he couldn't help but gasp.
In the river water, wisps of yin qi floated from the middle of the river, like smoke and smoke.
"That's resentment, it seems that there are resentful spirits in the water, which is why people continue to drown here."
Meng Hao tried his best to see clearly, what was hiding in the middle of the river to harm people, but unfortunately the water in the middle of the river was very deep, and the yin and yang eyes were limited, and he could only see that yin qi emanating continuously.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
There was a rapid cough, and a man who had gone down to the river to save people finally woke up, his face was pale and frightened, and he calmed down a little when he saw so many people around, but his body was still trembling.
After him, two people went down to save people, but it was no big problem, only choked on some water, according to their description, when they went down to save people, they only felt that the rescued people were very heavy, and it took a lot of effort to drag them up, and they were so tired that they almost collapsed.
"Yes...... There is a water ghost ......" The person who just woke up was called Liu Erwa, he gasped and said in horror: "It pulled my feet and dragged me into the river, I was frightened, desperately swam to the shore, accidentally bit my tongue, I felt much lighter, a wave came from behind, choked me, and then ...... I don't know. ”
Meng Hao understood now, this Liu Erwa was lucky, if he hadn't bitten his tongue and the blood on the tip of his tongue flowed out to hinder the water ghost, I was afraid that he wouldn't have escaped this catastrophe.
As for the people who went down to the river later, it was also because of this that there was no accident.
Meng Guobao said with a gloomy face: "There are warning signs and protective fences here, why do you have to run here, don't you want to die?" ”
Liu Erwa said very aggrievedly: "I didn't, I was sitting next to me to enjoy the coolness, and suddenly I saw someone walking straight over, slowly climbing down the river, walking step by step to the middle, seeing that he looked sober and awake, and didn't pay attention." Later, Brother Wednesday next to him shouted 'save people', so he jumped down and caught up with the man, but he couldn't save him, I saw that he was going to sink, so I hurried over to save him......"
The crowd next to him exclaimed.
"I must have been fascinated by the water spirit."
"I think it's best to find a Taoist priest to do it and collect the water ghosts, otherwise no matter how many warning signs and protective fences there are, they won't be able to stop the water ghosts from harming people."
"Daoist Xie from Nanhua Palace will come later, I called him, this matter is not easy to handle in the town, let's do it ourselves."
It was Old Man Zhou who spoke, he was in his seventies, widowed and alone, living on government relief funds, and he liked to go to the Nanhua Palace on the outskirts of the town to brag and chat with the Taoist priests there.
Meng Guobao frowned, as the deputy mayor, he couldn't openly engage in this kind of superstitious activity, but the people themselves wanted to do it, and it was normal for him to be unable to stop it.
Besides, two people died here at once, and the relatives of the deceased found an old Taoist priest to spend their condolences, which is also human nature.
"You pay tribute to the deceased, pay attention to safety and impact!" Meng Guobao greeted first and set the nature of the matter, even if others talked about it, they would not be able to catch him.
Old man Zhou was old and refined, and he knew what Meng Guobao was worried about, so he patted his chest and said: "Mayor Meng, don't worry, we know the proportions, the two descendants on the street fell into the water and left, we just find a Taoist priest to chant the scriptures, and we won't do anything else." ”
Meng Guobao nodded, and immediately arranged for the on-site staff to continue to do the relevant aftermath work, and at the same time report to the superior as soon as possible.
Although this is a fatal incident, because the cause and effect of the incident are very clear, there is no need for the police to deal with it.
"The cordon here needs to be widened a little bit, and the railing needs to be built a little higher, so that there can be no more accidents." Meng Guobao said sadly.
Meng Hao thought for a while, walked over and said in a low voice: "Uncle, this matter is not so simple, no matter how high the railing is, it can't stop the dead." Well, I'll see if the Taoist of Nanhua Palace can solve it. ”
"What did you say?" Meng Guobao looked at Meng Hao with a shocked face, "You know this?" ”
Meng Hao didn't hide it, nodded and said: "I understand a little, what they said is right, there is indeed something in this river, I don't know what it is, uncle, you'd better dismiss everyone later, otherwise there may be an accident." ”
Meng Hao just looked at the time, today is a cloudy day, and the yin qi here itself is very heavy, so the water ghost will be even more powerful.
Liu Erwa's blood on the tip of her tongue should have long been invalid, if that Xie Daochang was a half-hanger and angered the water ghost, the situation would be more troublesome.
Especially for the elderly, children and women, their own yang energy is insufficient, and it is possible to be caught by water ghosts, which will cause a big incident.
Meng Guobao's face was heavy, and seeing that Meng Hao was very serious, he asked expectantly, "Since you know this, is there a way to deal with it?" ”
Meng Hao said: "The problem is not very big, at least there is no problem with self-preservation." I'll look at the situation, if Xie Daochang has a way, that's good, if it really doesn't work, I'll make another move. It is best not to stay here for the elderly, children, and women who are not in good health, because they are prone to accidents. ”
Meng Guobao nodded, pulled Old Man Zhou aside and muttered.
Old man Zhou immediately shouted loudly, causing everyone to disperse.
This old man was idle, enthusiastic, and had a bit of prestige on the street, and everyone knew that he had invited the Taoist of Nanhua Palace to do it, and they all stepped aside and watched from afar.
In addition to the family members of the deceased, there were also several strong guys at the scene.
Meng Guobao patted Meng Hao's shoulder and said, "I'll wait in the teahouse over there, you have to be careful, don't be reckless." ”
Meng Hao nodded and said, "I'll be careful." ”
At this time, an old man dressed in gray long-distance running came in a hurry, dressed as a Taoist priest, with a gray beard bent, and an old whisk in his hand.
"Xie Laodao, why did you come!" Old man Zhou stepped forward.
