Chapter 178: Mengxi (3)
At this time, Xiao Jiu was like a trained monkey, while he was dissatisfied with his master, he didn't dare to resist.
I could only run around at a faster pace than my master, and I was lying on the bed inside, and let out a burst of snickering!
When I came to my room, Xiao Jiu lay on my bed, his ass pouted high, because he had just been beaten by his father, so his ass was more than half fatter than before.
He played with my phone and asked me nonchalantly.
"Brother Fang, do you really not remember what happened before?"
"Well, I don't remember."
I said casually, thinking of the old man who said that the big lake capsized and died at night, and I couldn't help but ask Xiao Jiu if he knew?
I didn't know that Xiao Jiu was excited when he heard it, and put down his mobile phone and said!
"Brother Fang, don't really say it, I and Youfei went to the big lake to see it during the day, I heard the people on the other side of the market say that it is the lake god in the big lake that is powerful, but I and Youfei don't believe in the power of the lake god, because a few years ago, someone in the big lake inexplicably overturned the boat and sank to the bottom of the lake, this thing is still what my father and I saw with our own eyes, so I think that there are water ghosts in the big lake making trouble!"
"What do you mean by that?"
I looked at Xiao Jiu in surprise, and seeing that I was curious, he seemed to be interested, and began to chatter.
"This has to start when I was a child!" Xiao Jiu seemed to be reminiscing and said to me!
In fact, at that time, the Great Lake was not a Great Lake, it could only be said to be a turbid and stagnant water, and as long as anyone passed by that stagnant water, they would smell a disgusting stench.
So at that time, whether it was running errands or running doors, people would stay away from that backwater!
But in such stagnant water, why are there fishermen fishing now?
That's because one day, it suddenly rained heavily in the area!
It is said that it is heavy rain, to be precise, it is more like a flood, because in this flood, the heavy rain flooded the market and Zhuqing Village and many other places.
It was at that time that many people died, and the bodies were washed away by the rain and flowed into that stagnant water!
After that, the lake seemed to be reborn after a baptism, the lake began to become clear and bright, the water level rose, and the big fish came out of the water to play, because the flood destroyed many places, some people thought of the seafood in the lake, and made an idea, and after that, fishermen began to appear in the market
Occupation!
It's just that for the dead man who rushed into the big lake, because everyone has never seen it, and nothing strange has happened in the lake.
On the contrary, the big fish in the lake provide people with an abundance of delicious food and nutrients, and soon everyone forgets about it.
Until one time, someone capsized in the big lake, and everyone on the lake saw it, and the old man at that time took Xiao Jiu out to see it, and the two of them also saw this scene!
Right in front of him, the boat of the person who had the accident seemed to be firmly grasped by a big hand, and the invisible force slowly dragged the boat into the bottom of the lake, and even the people with the boat disappeared.
Things were still boiling, and people who knew how to water jumped into the bottom of the lake to look for the man, trying to find out, but only then did everyone realize that although the lake was clear, it was bottomless, like a huge sinkhole, and there was endless darkness underneath!
The bottom of the lake is too deep for everyone to go too deep, and the lake on the surface is calm.
Except for the fish and shrimp swimming around him, everyone couldn't find the man, or the boat!
This matter is too suspenseful, leaving a pimple in everyone's hearts, some people say that the lake god in the lake is powerful, and this is recognized by the fishermen.
For the sake of the delicious taste of the lake, they came up with a way to worship the lake god!
Meng Xi is a famous black coffin in Zhuqing Village, everyone knows about this, and even his reputation has spread far and wide outside the market.
So everyone thought of him at this time, so Meng Xi was invited by everyone and asked him to help do a ritual for the lake god!
On that day, Mengxi came, and he took a boat on the lake alone and personally performed a ritual for everyone.
Everyone at that meeting was on the shore, because it was too far away, so they couldn't really see it, only to see Meng Xi standing indifferently in the boat from a distance, but his expression was very strange, his mouth seemed to be muttering or muttering something, at that time, everyone only saw a cloud slowly floating in the lake.
It was green, like a woman's long hair, a bit like seaweed, but no one had ever seen such a thing at that time, so naturally they didn't understand anything.
I saw that the green thing floated under Meng Xi's boat, and Meng Xi, who had been closing his eyes tightly, also opened his eyes at this time, he scooped up the mass of things, his face was heavy, and slowly returned to the shore!
The green thing was taken away by Mengxi, and no one knew where it was taken or what it was going to do, and no one cared.
Because everyone only cares about whether they can go to the lake or not, has the ritual calmed the wrath of the lake god?
At that time, Meng Xi also left only one sentence to tell everyone, that is, to ask everyone not to fish in the water, saying that there is no lake god in the big lake, and there is only a swamp of dead people under the lake, and those who have accidents are dragged down by the dead people under the lake as companions.
Because they need the living to take their place, to free them from the confinement of the swamp!
Meng Xi's words frightened everyone, and in this regard, the profession of fisherman also stopped for a while, including Xiao Jiu and his father, for this reason, the father and son had no basis for their lives, and they survived by relying on the wild fruits in the mountains and the generosity of the people in Zhuqing Village.
This is also the reason why the old man asked Xiao Jiu to send fish to Zhu Qingcun and did not receive any remuneration!
Because of the frustration and despair of life as a fisherman, no one knows better than his father, and the important thing is that Xiao Jiu was still young at that time, although he could help himself with his work, but the poor development and short stature really made the old man worry a lot!
Fishermen can't catch fish, so what can they do in this poor and plight place?
The turning point of the matter was one day, because there were many fishermen who were in the same desperate situation as the old man, and the bottom of the pot that could not be opened at home knocked on their heavy hearts, until one day, a fisherman finally couldn't bear it, and he was forced to go down to the lake to fish!
In other words, this incident also attracted the attention of many people at that time, because everyone thought of what Meng Xi said, saying that the bottom of the lake was a swamp of dead people.
And in this man-eating swamp, the fisherman dares to go to the lake to fish regardless of his life, so what awaits him?
Fish, lots of fish, big live fish that are fat and delicious!
That day, the fisherman only spent half a day of hard work, and under the eyelids of everyone, he used a big net to catch waves of big fish.
This caused everyone present to exclaim, and everyone seemed to be dumbfounded, and their eyes widened in disbelief at the fisherman who had a full harvest!
Because in their eyes, at this moment, they only see the money after the sale of delicious food and big fish!
What a dead man's swamp, what a big lake's lake god, at this moment, everyone left it behind, and even Meng Xi's warning to them was forgotten.
Since then, the livelihood of fishermen has begun to rise here!
