Chapter 63: Water Ghosts
Not long after Li Si got on the boat, he chatted naturally with the three of them, two of whom were his students and were close to him.
And Lou Chuanfu is respectful of his talent and fame, and naturally there are compliments.
So Li Si quickly integrated into the conversation.
From the conversation, Li Si learned that the Lou boatman's name was Lou Qing, and he was a fisherman who lived near the river since he was a child, and he made a living by fishing, and sometimes he would cross the river with passengers to earn money.
Because this Lou Qing is a villager from a nearby village and has never dealt with Li Si, Li Si doesn't recognize him, but Lou Qing knows him.
Because all the things that Li Si did after crossing over have spread among the county seat and the nearby countryside.
In particular, the song "Compassion for Nong" also spread in the villages near Fengmen County, and the poor people who heard this poem had a good impression of Li Si.
"Sir, this is my fishing rod, give it to you, and I'll watch you fish." At this time, Yu Hu smiled and handed over a bamboo pole about two meters long.
When Li Si saw this fishing rod, he was a little eager to try, he had fished once in his previous life, and he had never fished again, so this fishing was also a bit of a novelty.
After taking the fishing rod, Li Si saw Yu Hu pinching something in the small jar, which made the cabin a little smelly.
Then I saw Yu Hu get a little black something out of it, and then wrapped the small half of the earthworm on the hook.
"What is this?" Li Si saw this black thing, and asked with some doubts.
"This is cow dung, this is Uncle Wang's big black la. I secretly went to his cattle pen yesterday afternoon and picked up some, and the fishing was particularly good. Yu Hu had a proud look on his face.
Hearing Yu Hu say this, Li Si's face suddenly stiffened, this is taking cow dung to fish? Are you fishing so disgusting?
"What's wrong with you, sir?" Yu Hu asked with some confusion.
Li Si sighed, and then smiled: "Then I went out fishing." So saying, he walked to the bow of the boat.
Although it is said that you can stick out the rod in the cabin to fish, then you will not get any sun.
But Li Si felt that the smell of this cabin was a little spicy, so he walked to the bow of the boat to fish.
At the same time, Yu Hu and Sun Zhi also walked out, and just like that, the three of them arrived at the bow of the boat, leaving only Lou Boatman to slowly prop up the boat's penny in the back.
In this way, a small boat glides slowly on the green water of the lake, and from time to time there is a leisurely scene of birdsong from the nearby shore.
Li Si and Sun Zhi sat at the bow of the boat and threw the hook far away, leaving Yu Hu alone to watch.
"Do you want to come fishing?" Li Si turned his head and said to Yu Hu with a smile.
"Sir, don't speak, the fish will be scared away by you." Yu Hu stretched out a finger to make a shushing motion, and then lowered his voice and said, "Sir, I can't catch a fish." I'll just look at it. ”
After speaking, Yu Hu smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.
Li Si also reacted at this time, this Yu Hu was afraid that he would not win Sun Zhi if he didn't catch fishing, and he would be embarrassed when the time came. So I gave myself the fishing rod.
Sighing, Li Si shook his head and smiled, stopped talking, and continued to wait for the fish to take the bait.
"Li Si......" A childish voice suddenly came into his ears.
Li Si frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Who?" ”
At this time, Li Si also noticed that after he made a sound, Yu Hu and Sun Zhi next to him did not move, as if they hadn't listened.
"Yu Hu?"
"Sun Zhi?"
Li Si stood up, screamed twice, and shook his hand in front of the two, but the two of them didn't react at all, as if nothing had happened.
"Li Si......" The voice continued to come again.
Hearing this voice, Li Si walked towards the sound with some hesitation, he walked to the side of the boat and looked into the river.
"Li Si......" A pale little face in the river suddenly became a little happy when he saw it, and he couldn't help grinning. And this smile suddenly revealed his four fangs.
Li Si looked at the child floating in the water, and estimated the position of the child in his heart, which was about a meter above the water.
Coupled with the height from the water surface to the bow of the boat, the child was almost two meters away from Li Si.
After estimating the distance, Li Si gave up the idea of killing the ghost.
It's just that he is a little strange, neither his predecessor nor himself has provoked water ghosts, how can there still water ghosts know themselves?
"You must go to Zetianfu in mid-August this year to raise people for the ......exam," the child's voice seemed immature, but there was a sense of old-fashioned vicissitudes in it. It's like a seventy or eighty-year-old man speaking in the tone of a child, which looks extremely weird.
Hearing this kid say this, Li Si suddenly knew in his heart that this water ghost belonged to the Nie family.
"Got it?" The child's face slowly floated up, staring at Li Si underwater.
"What you just said, if you don't come and say it, I can't hear you." Li Si touched his ears, and a distressed look appeared on his face.
"Hehe......" Hearing Li Si say this, the kid laughed, but instead he sank a little in the water, staring at Li Si with a pair of blue and white eyes.
The corners of Li Si's eyes twitched slightly, this ghost thing was so cautious.
"Remember, if you don't take the imperial examination in mid-August, you will die, your friends will die, and everyone you care about will die......" The child glanced at Li Si deeply, and then slowly sank to the bottom, his face gradually submerged by the dark green river.
At the same time, Yu Hu suddenly exclaimed: "Sir, why did you change places all of a sudden?" ”
Hearing Yu Hu's words, Sun Zhi and Lou Chuanfu both looked at each other suspiciously.
Li Si also looked at Yu Hu strangely and said, "I just walked in front of you, what's wrong?" ”
"Is that so?" Yu Hu was a little stunned and scratched his head in distress.
He was a little strange, he saw Mr. fishing one moment ago, and the next moment, Mr. changed positions.
Is it because I am dazzled? He suddenly wondered if he had broken his brain during the fight.
"It's on board!" A voice suddenly interrupted Yu Hu's thinking, and he saw that Sun Zhi's guy had caught a fish the size of a palm and was screaming excitedly.
After Yu Hu saw it, he was immediately a little afraid, if he really fished with him, he would probably lose his dead.
And it was this interruption that Yu Hu suddenly forgot what happened before.
At the same time, Li Si also exhaled, sat on the side of the boat and continued to catch fish. He was really afraid that Yu Hu would be entangled.
It should have been the ghost's ability just now, and he suddenly remembered that the ghoul had an ability called ghost blinding, and the one just now was obviously much more clever than the ghost covering his eyes.
After all, the ghost will feel the weight around the eyes increase. At the beginning, Li Si was knocked unconscious, and he didn't pay attention when he woke up. Otherwise, it would have been discovered a long time ago.
