At night, my grandmother fell asleep, but I didn't feel sleepy.

Lying in bed alone, with mixed feelings in his heart, his originally good life was disrupted like this.

My mother doesn't know whether she is dead or alive, and there is no news at all; Now there is another daughter-in-law who doesn't know if it's a human or a ghost, and I really don't know what kind of life I will have in the future.

This night, my heart was churning and uneasy, but it was very quiet outside, and the sacrificial corpse did not make any more trouble, it seemed that I was really shocked.

The next day, I wanted to go to Mr. Liu and ask if there was any news of my mother.

But my grandmother stopped me and told me to stay away from their water ghosts on the Yellow River and not deal with them.

In order to prevent me from sneaking out, she stared at me all morning, and I had to give up, so I had to wait at home for news from Mr. Liu.

At noon, Sun Blind came to the letter, saying that he had found a drunkard surnamed Qi in the town.

Hearing the news, the grandmother immediately asked, "What did he do when he found it so quickly?" ”

I also looked at Sun Blind with curiosity.

He chirped and replied with some doubts: "I asked a friend to inquire, this guy is quite mysterious, not from the town, but he often comes here, saying that he is doing business, but no one knows what business he does, and he is also an alcoholic, pinching wine bottles all day long." ”

"It's certainly not as simple as it seems to be to have that person mention it, let's pack up and go to the town to find him."

Soon, we simply packed up and went to town.

There is still a distance from our village to the town, and my grandmother's legs and feet are inconvenient, and she also brings a blind man, so naturally she can't walk.

Blind Sun went to find Li Laoer, who sold tofu in the village, and asked him to ride a motorcycle and send us to the town.

When I arrived in town, I went straight to a small restaurant that was not famous.

According to Sun's blind friend, the drunkard surnamed Qi drank in it.

When we went, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no one eating at the restaurant, only one table was still occupied.

The man was dressed in an army green tattered coat, he looked dirty, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and he hadn't bathed for an unknown amount of time.

With one foot on a stool and a wine bottle in his hand, although there was only a plate of peanuts on the table, he drank very leisurely and sang from time to time.

Such a sloppy person is similar to a person named Hanako, and I can't help but suspect that I have found the wrong person.

Sun Blind became interested, and muttered: "Hey, I didn't know that there was such a chic character in the town, and I must make friends." ”

And when he had finished speaking, he went over and sat down in front of the man.

"Brother, in today's society, it's rare to see you as a profligate and unruly character?"

The drunkard Qi glanced up at the blind man and asked suspiciously, "Blind?" ”

"Half-blind!"

"Hehe, that's good, you can see it if you want to see it, and you can't see it if you don't want to see it, you are also a free and easy person."

Sun Blind laughed: "Haha, that's right, it seems that we are still like-minded." ”

"Haha." The drunkard also laughed, and handed the wine bottle in his hand forward, "Brother, let's take a whole sip." ”

"Good..."

Sun Blind stretched out his hand, but was beaten back by his grandmother.

"Blind, we're here to get down to business, what are you messing up here?"

I was also very speechless in my heart, I came here today for my business, and the drunkard Qi is still such a person, how can the two of them see each other too late.

Grandma didn't go around the bend, and said directly to the drunkard: "This eldest brother should be surnamed Qi, we came this time to ask you for something." ”

"Oh, you've got my door out." The drunkard smiled, "Then let's say, what's the matter?" ”

Grandma pulled me over and said, "My grandson fished out a sacrificial corpse in the Wenshui River and lifted its hijab, now I have temporarily suppressed the sacrificial corpse, and now I must dispose of it, I have come to ask you for help." ”

Hearing this, the Qi drunkard was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who asked you to come?" ”

"I'm someone, but I can't tell you." Grandma replied.

The drunkard laughed again: "Hehe, even so, then I can't help you, whoever asks you to come, you can go back and find someone." ”

At this time, the blind man Sun took the words.

"Brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse, this baby is a sacrificial corpse that he fished up from the water, it was a sacrificial corpse that didn't lift his head, and now even the old Liu Tou on the Wenshui River is begging him, you helped with this, maybe it's still a chance."

"Oh?" The drunkard groaned and stared at me.

Then, he poured another sip of wine, thought for a moment, and asked me: "Baby, I can indeed help you solve the sacrificial corpse, but you also have to pay the price, are you willing?" ”

I asked rhetorically, "At what cost?" ”

"Do three things for me." After speaking, he added: "These three things may be life-threatening, maybe I just saved you today, and you will die because of me tomorrow." ”

"I..."

Without waiting for me to speak, my grandmother answered for me.

"No problem, we agreed, and that's it."

I quickly pulled her: "Grandma..."

Grandma didn't speak, only gave me a reassuring look.

"Brother Qi, I agreed to what you said for my grandson, as long as you help solve the corpse sacrifice, if you have something to do in the future, he will definitely do his best to help you."

The drunkard didn't speak, poured down half a bottle of wine in his hand, grabbed a handful of peanuts, and got up from the stool.

"Okay, that's it."

"Thank you." Grandma bowed.

I can't understand what my grandmother is doing at all, and I don't want to deal with these things, so I'm not afraid of hurting me.

The drunkard put his hand on my shoulder and said to my grandmother: "The corpse has been shocked, and it is okay for the time being, just let your grandson go with me, and when we come back in two days, we can solve it." ”

"Okay." Grandma responded directly.

"Haha, he's a cheerful person, I like to deal with people like that." He said as he pulled me out.

Grandma also advised: "Ping'an, follow Master Qi, be obedient, don't be petty, and don't let down grandma's hard work." ”

After experiencing these things, I didn't have the right to take the initiative to make decisions, so I could only leave with the drunkard.

After we left, Sun Blind couldn't help it and asked, "Old woman, do you believe in this drunkard like that?" Not afraid of accidents? ”

"Since she is the person she refers to, she can't be wrong."

"Then aren't you afraid that as he said, you have saved peace today, and you will want his life tomorrow? I think he promised so easily, he must have some intention. ”

"Since she said that she is protecting the peace, it will be fine."

“……”

Sun was speechless.

I followed the drunkard Qi away, this guy looks not young, but his legs and feet are very neat, he is not sloppy at all, I am tired, he still strides forward.

"Master Qi, where are we going?"

He replied with a smile: "Hehe, take you kid to open his eyes." ”

"What?" I caught up and said, "What's the eye-opening?" ”

"I'll talk to you later, you can tell me about you first, which village? Who are the parents? ”

The drunkard chatted with me and took me around, and I didn't know where I went, anyway, until it was dark.

After dark, there were hardly any people on the road, and I don't remember the first time I asked.

"Where the hell are we going?"

He replied, "Listen, it's coming soon." ”

I was stunned, but when I came back to my senses, I realized that what he was talking about was the sound of water echoing in my ears.

Then he opened his mouth and shouted: "You want to go to the Wenshui River?" ”

"Yes."

I let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Why bother going to the Wenshui River, we can pass it from the road over there just now." ”

"It's different, you'll know when you get there."

This drunkard is drunk, but his head should be very clear, and his ability to sell Guan Zi is not small, so he can't pry his mouth open, and he doesn't say where he is going.

After walking for about half an hour, I finally came to the Wenshui River from a small road.

The Wenshui River is very long, and the places I have been to are just ordinary places, but the place where the drunkard brought me here seems to be a little different, although the current is not very large, but the sound is very loud, and the water is relatively muddy.

He said to me, "Hey, baby, haven't you been to this place?" Let me tell you, this place is an eye in the Wenshui River, and even your corpse collector Liu Lao Man would not dare to enter the water from here. ”

"Water eyes? What's that? I asked.

"Water Eye, that's... I don't understand it when I tell you, it's a very unusual place. ”

As the drunkard spoke, he walked to the side and dragged out a small broken wooden boat from the grass.

"Let's go." He beckoned me to get on board.

But I muttered, didn't dare to go over, and asked cautiously: "You... It can't be a corpse digger, right? ”

Grandma said she wouldn't let me deal with the corpse diggers.

The drunkard shook his head: "How can I be those water ghosts, how can they be compared to me, between us, there is a difference between the clouds and mud." ”

Seeing that he did not seem to be lying, I went aboard the ship with the letter in doubt.

On the boat, he gave me an oar and asked me to help row the boat.

But after the oars were launched, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and I couldn't row at all, I really didn't move at all.

Drunkard Qi looked at me with strange eyes, as if he thought I was pretending, and was still hinting that my acting skills were too poor. And I couldn't help but blush and explain: "I really can't row." ”

He didn't say anything, but nodded.

"You baby, it's weird, you can't paddle in this watery place, isn't it that even this river can't accommodate you..."

In the end, the broken boat stopped in the middle of the river, and the drunkard jumped straight down.

"Master Qi!" I tried to stop it, but I couldn't react.

But!

After he jumped into the water, he didn't even enter the water, and just stood in the river.

The water is only up to his thighs!

This is the Wenshui River, anywhere, it can be more than ten meters deep.

I was really dumbfounded.

The drunkard smiled at me: "Hehe, you know the special features of this water eye, come down, it's okay." ”

When I calmed down, I went into the water as well, and when I stepped on it, the water was only up to my thighs.

"Why is that?" I asked curiously.

The drunkard smiled mysteriously: "Secret." ”

Then, he admonished me: "You follow me well, this water eye has a range, out of the range, but it is not so shallow." ”

With that, he walked to the brightest part of the moonlight and bent down.

This time I learned wisely, followed his movements, when my face was close to the water, the turbid water suddenly became very clear, you can clearly see that there is a fist-sized whirlpool under the water, but this whirlpool does not seep down, but bubbles emerge, as if spitting water.

"Baby, do you know that there is an old saying that a three-legged toad is hard to find."

I subconsciously responded.

He grinned again: "I've been raising this thing here for three years, and I haven't sold it for 500,000 yuan, so I'll open your eyes today." ”

I saw him put his hand into the strange whirlpool, and he jerked it up again, and a fist-sized thing was lifted up.
