Chapter 292: God is God
"Please rest assured that this matter will be resolved as soon as possible. However, there is one thing that I would like to ask you to be honest with. "The information I learned from the innkeeper is always one-sided, and we need to dig up more useful clues among the villagers. Chu Lingyi felt that this might be an opportunity, after all, he helped the villagers solve the water problem.
But when Chu Lingyi asked about the water monster, everyone kept silent, as if they had discussed it. Mu Li couldn't stand it anymore, he did all this for them, why did he hide it.
"We're here to help you, and as you can see, the water problem has been solved. Why do you still distrust us like this, it's really a mistake to help you. Mu Wei was angry and angry, he did so many things kindly, and now he can't get the trust of the villagers, he is really disappointed.
"It's not that we don't believe it, it's that we're afraid."
The villagers' worries are also normal, they have been troubled by the water god for a year, and now that the river has disappeared, no one dares to offend the water god. Under Mu Li's bitter heart, there are finally villagers who are willing to stand up and talk about the water god.
"The daughter of the second family of Wang was captured by the water god, but we didn't dare to say it, for fear that the water god would do other things to us."
It turned out that the villagers already knew that the so-called water god was not here to protect them, but to collect money, but no one had seen the true face of the water god, and they did not dare to act rashly.
"That's right. On the first night of every month, it will appear by the river, more than two feet tall, and its head is covered with aquatic plants. From time to time, strange noises were made, not to mention how terrifying it was, and no one dared to come out that day. "The villagers said that the god of water was as divine as if it really existed.
"There's more than one!"
"More than one?" Mu Li looked at the villagers suspiciously, how could there be more than one water god, and there was no one else with this idea, so it couldn't be realistic, so it would scare and scare the villagers here.
On the night of the first day of the new year, every family locks their doors and windows early, in order to prevent the water god from coming to the house to make trouble. For more than a year, the villagers have been offering to the god of water on time, but after a long time, the villagers' savings have also been looted by the god of water.
Who knew that even the water in the river disappeared after the offering was broken, and the villagers could not be afraid, and who knew what would disappear next, so no one dared to mention the matter of the water god to outsiders.
"Then let me meet this water god." Mu Li rubbed his hands, planning to compete with this water god to see who had a powerful brain. "Hey, let's go together on the first night."
"Stop, this king will handle this matter, you just stay at the inn."
Chu Lingyi didn't know the strength of the other party, how could he let Mu Li go rashly, but listening to what the villagers said, there was no need to use the way of a woman to marry to lure the water god out, so there was no need for Mu Li to take risks.
"When did you start to get so ink, and besides, shouldn't you have solved this matter earlier?" Mu Li couldn't understand what Chu Lingyi was thinking, he came to Hedong Village to help him, but he was repeatedly rejected by Chu Lingyi. "Forget it, what do you like, I don't care."
Mu Li turned around and left, but his kindness was regarded as a burden by Chu Lingyi, and Mu Li could not be angry in his heart. However, Mu Li will not give up so easily, she will definitely expose the face of the person who pretends to be a ghost in person.
As soon as the new year arrived, Chu Lingyi arranged for people to lay out by the river early, in order to capture the so-called water god in one fell swoop. In order to avoid Mu Li from making trouble, Xue Ping was specially sent to stay by Mu Li's side.
"I said you don't keep following me, I'm not your prisoner." Wherever Mu Li went, Xue Ping followed, which gave Mu Li a headache.
Xue Ping was also ordered by the prince, how dare he slack off. Besides, Mu Li's temperament is known to the entire prince's mansion, he is very wild, and he will sneak away if he doesn't pay attention.
"Princess, I also obey the prince's orders, you still stay in the inn, don't embarrass me." Tonight is the first day of the new year, and every household has closed its doors and windows, but Mu Li still wants to go out, so that Xue Ping is not nervous.
Danger outside can appear at any time, and the green kite is also trying to find a way to keep Mu Li in the inn. "Yes, Princess. Why don't you stay at the inn, why don't I play chess with you? ”
At this time, Mu Li didn't have such idle time, she just wanted to see what the so-called water god looked like, maybe it was for a beautiful man. Mu shook away from here, walked around, and tried to get rid of Xue Ping.
What kind of person is Xue Ping, he is a good hand at helping Chu Lingyi try the case, and he can't escape Xue Ping's eyes with Mu Li's little tricks. "Princess, don't toss, rest early." Xue Ping still wanted to wait for Mu Li to rest and help the prince, but it was impossible now.
"I said how can you be the same as your master, the chirp is endless." Mu Li simply sat down directly, since he loves to follow him so much, let him keep guarding.
According to the villagers, the water god will come out in half an hour, and Chu Lingyi asked everyone to raise their spirits, and they must not let the water god escape.
The villagers didn't sleep either, and they stood in front of the windows looking at the river after the candles, wondering if they wouldn't have to worry about the water gods coming to disturb them after tonight.
The god of water is powerful in the village, and the villagers have long been tired of seeing it. However, no one has the ability to confront the water god, so they can only let them bully. Fortunately, someone has finally stepped forward, and the villagers are looking forward to the end of the night, and tomorrow will be everything new.
Wang Er and his wife snuggled together, and they kept wondering if their lost daughter would come back tonight. Since the loss of her daughter, the second aunt Wang has gone crazy, and even the people in the village have stayed away from her all day long. Wang Er has always believed that his daughter is not dead, but she was just arrested by the water god, and he hopes that her daughter will come back tonight.
"Old woman, don't worry, our daughter will be back soon." After Wang Er lost his daughter, he didn't go out to work, so he stayed by Wang Er's aunt's side, for fear that Wang Er's aunt would go to the river to make trouble.
Second Aunt Wang smiled stupidly, "Niannian is back, Niannian is back." ”
When the hour came, a strange sound came from the river, and in the middle of the night, all the villagers hurriedly squatted down, for fear that they would be discovered by the water god.
"Listen, what's the sound?" Mu Li was born as a broadcaster and is extremely sensitive to sound, how does this sound sound like the harsh sound of a beginner's violin.
The green kite was a little frightened when she heard this, and she was next to Mu Li. "Princess, could it be that water monster is coming, it won't really eat people as they rumored?"
"Don't be afraid, it's all a lie."
The shopkeeper hid behind Xue Ping because he was afraid, thinking that Xue Ping's martial arts skills could protect him.
