The spring rushed down the steep wall, slapping every inch of the wall, splashing and falling, and the tiny streams on both sides of the wall froze into thorns, and only the middle rapids still flowed.

Manyue carefully stepped on a protruding stone, reaching for the turbulent water, the water lapping on his hand, cold and dull pain. She walked down and shook off the water in her hand, her hand was red, it was frozen red, "I watched Senior Brother Sixteen practice before, just standing at the bottom of this waterfall and rushing hard, I used to think it was nothing great, but now it seems to be really terrible." ”

There were a lot of gravel by the river, and she stepped on it carelessly, and the surface of her feet was slanted, and she was about to fall to the ground if she swayed, "Eh, eh-"

Lu Changfeng quickly grabbed her wrist with his hand, helped her stabilize her figure, and after realizing that something was wrong, he quickly released his hand and carried it to the back of his waist. His hands clenched, but he still couldn't stop the panic.

The rattling waterfall seemed to burrow into his body, turning into his blood and running rampant, until his heart beat like a drum, and his ears were hot and he refused to stop, but intensified.

"What's wrong with you?" Manyue leaned in to see him.

Lu Changfeng took a small step back, his expression was as usual, "The scenery is spectacular, and I am a little excited." ”

Manyue glanced at him a few times to make sure that he really didn't look out of the ordinary, then turned his head and walked towards the river, muttering in a low voice, "It's weird." ”

The river was rushing and rolling downstream, and several thick blocks of ice were floating on the surface. Manyue smacked her mouth, looked into the river, and wanted to see if there were any fish, so she could catch a few and roast them to eat, but she saw something different, "Lu Changfeng, come here." ”

There seemed to be something at the bottom of the river, black and rising, and it would be impossible to see anything from a distance unless you looked closely. Manyue frowned, and then beckoned to Lu Changfeng, a skeletal hand stretched out from the mass of things, grabbing her in an instant, and Manyue didn't have time to resist, so she was dragged into the water by a strong force.

Manyue choked on a few mouthfuls of water, constantly struggling in the water, and a skeletal hand grabbed her ankle and went deeper. Lu Changfeng also plunged into the water and swam towards her, and when Manyue saw his figure, she felt that this scene was familiar.

The runes on the chains in her hands lit up one by one, and Lu Changfeng grabbed her waist and swam to the surface of the water, without noticing. As soon as her feet were light, she stared intently at the bottom of the river, where a humanoid skeleton was lying on the mud, crawling on all fours, two red eyes staring at her in its sockets.

When she got ashore, she spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, and she didn't care about the cold, she slapped Lu Changfeng a few times, gasped and said, "Hurry up, this place can't stay." ”

Fortunately, it is not far from Liu Cheng's house, and he can go back to rest. Manyue sat on the horseback, shook her head, her vision gradually blurred, and there was a hot feeling on her ankles, it was the skeleton who made it!

"Lu Changfeng ......" Before he finished speaking, he fell headlong.

Lu Changfeng hurriedly got off the horse and helped her up, shook her a few times but didn't respond, so the two of them rode together and rushed to Liu Cheng's house.

The weather was cold, both of them fell into the water, and Manyue was unconscious again, Liu Cheng hurriedly knocked on the neighbor's door and found Aunt Zhang next door to change Manyue's clothes.

He found a few pieces of old ginger to make ginger soup for them, "The girl's body is poor, the weather is cold and the water is falling, it is estimated that she has a fever." Later, you can warm up with a bowl of ginger soup first, and then find a doctor to come and take a look at her, and just sleep and sweat. ”

Lu Changfeng responded absentmindedly.

Aunt Zhang was not tall and bloated, and hurriedly walked over like a big wooden stake: "Don't say anything about the wind and cold, this girl is evil!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Cheng stopped her.

"What nonsense, this Lu Gongzi doesn't know, don't you know? I saw that the red palm print on the girl's foot and neck had fallen into the river of the waterfall again, not an evil spirit. ”

Liu Cheng suddenly realized, "You mean, it's the ghost of Uemura?" ”

Lu Changfeng didn't believe in these strange powers, but when he heard Aunt Zhang say this, he couldn't help but ask: "Evil, what's going on?" ”

She is also warm-hearted, "You let Master Liu tell you that this disease is not something that ordinary doctors can cure, don't worry, I'll help you ask the village chief." ”

"Thank you very much." He bowed to Sister-in-law Zhang.

Liu Cheng served a bowl of hot ginger soup and let Lu Changfeng drink it, before he said to him in detail: "There were originally many people in our village, but later it was divided into two schools because of some festivals. In my grandfather's generation, it was completely divided into two villages, bounded by a waterfall, divided into upper and lower villages, and we were downstream to the lower village. ”

"What kind of festival is it that makes such a scene?" Lu Changfeng asked.

"Ugh." He sighed, "But the gods we believe in are different, we rely on the mountain, and the worship is naturally Beishanjun." I happened to see the god enshrined in the village, it was a female doll, and they said it was a god of the underworld. The gods of the underworld are so easy to get along with, they sacrifice the living, and the corpses are thrown into the river, and over time, some strange things happen. ”

"The village is rumored that what is worshiped in the upper village is not a god at all, but a demon in the underworld. Slowly, the rumors also increased, saying that there were Gu raised by them in that river, and no one dared to fetch water. ”

Lu Changfeng thought of what Aunt Zhang had just said, there was a red mark on the foot of the wild moon, and the demonic thing was groundless, and most of it was not credible, maybe it was stung by something in the river.

After thinking about it, he didn't have a clue, so he took a bowl of ginger soup and went to see if Manyue had woken up.

She frowned, her hands clutched the corner of the quilt, and she slept quite unsteadily. Lu Changfeng reached out to probe the temperature on her forehead, and it was not hot, but he didn't know why people kept falling asleep and couldn't wake up.

"Master, Master......"

It is said that when people are most unconscious, what they can't forget in their mouths must be the people closest to them. Lu Changfeng looked down at her, his eyes were gloomy, what she was thinking about was not her parents, not her brother, but the mysterious master.

Thinking about it, she doesn't talk about my father and my mother on weekdays, she always talks about her master, always the master says, the senior brother says, the master how, the senior brother ...... It turned out that the master was what she missed the most.

Lu Changfeng squatted down and looked at her carefully. She kept calling the master in her mouth, it seems that she is dreaming, looking at it like this, it shouldn't be a good dream.

"Little county lord, county lord......" He called her a few times, but did not see her wake up, hesitated for a few moments, and patted her on the shoulder like a child. Thinking about how her master should coax her on weekdays, I remember that when we first met, she asked him to call her Aman, and said that her master also called her like this, probably the elders in the world coax the younger generations are the same.

His voice was soft, "...... Ah man, the master is here, not afraid, not afraid. ”

A moment later, Lu Changfeng came out of the room, and Aunt Zhang also happened to push the door in, followed by a person carrying a medicine box.

"Lu Gongzi—" she waved her handkerchief, "the village chief is here." ”

Lu Changfeng thanked her, and then led the village chief in to check Manyue's pulse, the village chief pressed his hand on Manyue's wrist, and shook his head after a while: "This is indeed a disease spread in the village, and there have been people in the village before, but we can't cure it." The bell must be tied to the bell, and it is estimated that only the people in the village know how to treat it. ”

"I'm sorry for you." Lu Changfeng's face was embarrassed, "I'll go to the upper village." ”

Aunt Zhang hurriedly waved her hand, "This can't be helped, Master Liu should have told you, this, few people in our village dare to go to the boundary of the upper village......

The village chief also chimed in: "Master Lu, you don't have to be like this, there are so many powerful people in Shengjing City, if you bring the girl back, someone will definitely be able to save her." ”

"Let's go out first, don't bother her." When they arrived in the courtyard, the horses were tied to the pillars, and Lu Changfeng walked over and touched the horse's mane: "Aunt Zhang, I don't need you to lead the way, just tell me how to go to the village." ”

Lu Changfeng looked at the closed door with a firm expression: "Since I brought her out, I will definitely let her go back safely." Whether it's Gu or not, I'll go to the village for a walk, and it will be beneficial and harmless to ask a doctor to come back. ”

The village chief knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he put the medicine box on his back and said: "Since you want to go, I won't stop you, you can go with me to the house to get a few packets of insect medicine, and it will be easier to walk on the road." ”
