The father turned his head and looked at the chicken coop outside the house.

It happened that the ghost snow, and my mother raised six chickens, and four of them froze to death. The mother had to put a mattress under the chicken coop so that the remaining two laying hens could live well.

I looked into my father's eyes, and his eyes were full of greed.

"Daddy, what are you looking at?" I asked in a deep voice.

The father reluctantly turned his head and said meaningfully, "This chicken has grown up." ”

I was a little confused, so I had to answer lightly.

Mother ordered another bowl of noodles and brought it over.

The father looked at it and frowned, "Baby, why is this bowl useless?" ”

The mother smiled, "There are only two chickens left in the chicken coop, and there are not many eggs, so the babies have eaten some today." ”

The father's face suddenly became angry, and he threw the noodle bowl on the table to the ground.

The noodle bowl shattered to the ground and made a "clang" sound.

"Baby, it, you go kill the chicken, I'm hungry, I want to eat meat!" Father shouted.

The mother was stunned and looked at the father with some horror.

In my memory, my father was a very kind person, at least in front of me, I have never seen my father murder my mother.

My mother finally remembered something and turned her head to look at me.

I thought about it for a while and said, "Auntie, Daddy is hungry, so let's kill a chicken." ”

I was a little afraid that the "father" in front of me would suddenly burst out and hurt my mother.

The mother was silent for a moment, nodded, and turned to walk towards the chicken coop.

The father grinned, saliva running down the corners of his mouth.

"Chun Yanzi, you are so sensible."

I smiled quietly, clenching the lightning strike wood in my hand.

If the person in front of me is really not my father, I will not hesitate to stab him with a lightning strike.

In the kitchen, there was the screeching of chickens and the sound of mothers sharpening knives.

"Kill the chicken, kill the chicken!" The father suddenly stood up and clapped his hands like a child.

At this time, Grandma Zhou, who was sleeping at the head of the house, heard the noise and walked out.

I looked at my father and me, then turned around and went back to the house.

"Chun Yanzi, come and beat my legs for me." Grandma Zhou, who walked back to the house, spoke.

After a deep groan, I got up and walked to Grandma Zhou's house.

"Close the door." Grandma Zhou whispered.

I closed the door suspiciously.

"Chun Yanzi, how did you get this thing?" Grandma Zhou said with a frown.

Hearing this, I panicked.

"This is a water monkey, he likes to learn to speak the most, you look carefully under his back, is there a bulging thing." Grandma Zhou continued.

To be honest, I didn't notice, after all, I sat face to face with my "father".

"That's the tail of the water monkey, tied up for the sake of learning."

"Grandma, what should I do? Or I'll go out and get rid of it!" I gritted my teeth.

Grandma Zhou shook her head, "It's already in mind, if it can't be killed, it will definitely retaliate another day." Do you know how it knows so many things? ”

After thinking about it, I shook my head.

"It is said that this water monkey originally lived in the well, and sometimes when we talked, he listened to it and remembered it."

I suddenly remembered that Jiang Qixi said that there is something under the old well, and it must be this water monkey.

"Grandma, wait a minute, you will use an excuse to call your mother into the house, and I will go out to deal with it!" I said.

Grandma Zhou knew that I had a lightning strike, and after thinking about it, she nodded, "Chun Yanzi, then you have to be careful." ”

I walked out of Grandma Zhou's house and sat back down at the wooden table.

In the kitchen, the smell of meat was already sounding, and I looked at my mother's busy figure with some anxiety.

"Baby, it, hurry up! Hurry up! Cooked, cooked! Father screamed.

The crazy demeanor of the "father" in front of me, I dare to be sure, if he is allowed to eat all the time, I am afraid that the two chickens will not be enough for him to be full, followed by rice, bacon, and then ...... Maybe it's cannibalism.

Mother finally came over cautiously with a pot of chicken.

Grandma Zhou cooperated and called her mother into the house and closed the door.

I was the only one who came face to face with my "father".

The father broke off the head of the chicken, stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and spit out the chicken bones.

I stood up, and "Father" looked up at me.

I smiled and reached into the pot, ready to scoop up a piece of chicken.

My hand was knocked off at once, and my "father" glared at me viciously.

"I'm hungry, you let me eat!"

My hand hurt and quickly pulled it back.

I pretended to walk over, and according to what Grandma Zhou said, sure enough, there was a ball of stuff bulging under the back of the "father".

What to do?

This thing is not my "father", it is a water monkey that lives under an old well!

I gritted my teeth and looked down to see that "Father" was gobbling up the last few pieces of chicken.

Holding the lightning strike wood in my right hand, I raised it up and stabbed it hard at my father.

"Tsk!" "Father" screamed like a mouse, abandoned the chicken in his hand, and turned his head to stare at me.

Gray smoke rose from the back of the body that had been stabbed by the lightning strike.

This thing is not simple, otherwise, it would not have broken through Jiang Qixi's fallen array so easily.

I shouted, grabbed the lightning strike and stabbed it down.

Suddenly, the "father" lowered his body, his black clothes were taken off, and the whole person rushed forward.

I looked at the clothes on the ground with some trepidation, this was clearly a shroud, but the "father" was wearing it in reverse, and at night, the light was dim, so I couldn't see it clearly.

When I turned my head again, I found a horse-faced monkey baring its teeth and holding a piece of chicken bone in its hand, neighing at me.

Grandma Zhou is right, this is a water monkey, living in my old well every day, and it happened that the ghost snow closed the town, and the bronze beast fell out, and it came out.

"Spring Lady! Spring Girl! The horse-faced monkey's voice became extremely high-pitched, and it shouted at me angrily.

"you third grandma!" I said angrily, grabbed the lightning strike wood and rushed up again, thinking that I had stabbed a little crooked just now, and this time I would definitely kill this ghost.

The horse-faced monkey covered the wound I had stabbed earlier, lay on the ground, and quickly jumped in the direction of the old well.

I also ran away, chasing after the old well, the old monkey turned his head, looked at me angrily, and jumped into the old well, making a "grunt" sound.

I gasped and stood by the old well, so angry that I picked up two stones and threw them down the old well.

Nothing but empty echoes.

Mother and Grandma Zhou cautiously walked out of the house, looked at it, and beckoned to me to come back first.

I shook my head stubbornly, I was afraid that if I left, this horse-faced monkey would sneak out and harm people again, so I just stayed here and waited for Jiang Qixi to come back, and then make plans.

In the second half of the night, Jiang Qixi turned over the wall and went home.

I pouted and looked at Jiang Qixi.

"? Chen Xichun, what are you doing here? Jiang Qixi said suspiciously.

I told her about the horse-faced monkey, Jiang Qixi thought about it for a while, and said, "This water monkey should have jumped out because of the heavy yin qi in the town now, it's okay, although it has rough skin and thick meat, but the means are not good, it is just a begging for food." ”

"I'm afraid it will come out and harm people again!"

Jiang Qixi nodded, "I went out to see, and I also saw a monkey in the courtyard of a house, I was still surprised at that time, there are still monkeys jumping in on this ghost snow day?" Now that I think about it, that monkey is also a water monkey. ”

After Jiang Qixi finished speaking, he thought for a while, took out an ink line from the small flower bag, and then caught the only remaining laying hen in the chicken cage.

"Jiang Qixi, what are you going to do?" I wondered.

"Fishing for monkeys." Jiang Qixi didn't raise his head.

"If it knows you're luring it, how can it take the bait?"

"It will." Jiang Qixi said lightly, "This water monkey is greedy and will not easily let go of any bite of food." ”

I watched suspiciously as Jiang Qixi tied the chicken and sent it to the well with an ink thread.

After a while, I heard the frantic crowing of chickens.

"Hooked." Jiang Qixi smiled, and then pulled the ink line.

"Hanged?" I'm overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qixi shook his head and pulled the ink line up. The laying hen tied to the ink line had its neck twisted, curled up with chicken wings, and was stained with blood.

"Cunning stuff." Jiang Qixi scolded, and after tying the dead chicken again, he slowly put it under the old well.

I didn't dare to breathe, so I put my head on the old well and watched it fixedly.

Suddenly, I saw the ink line shake again.

"Jiang Qixi, it's eating chicken!" I shouted.

Jiang Qixi made a silent gesture, "This starving ghost, let it eat more, it's easy to catch it if it's addicted to it." ”

Hearing this, I stopped talking and stopped talking.

After a while, the ink line became more and more fighting, Jiang Qixi frowned, and pulled the ink line hard.

At the bottom of the old well, a terrible scream came out.

"Got it." Jiang Qixi smiled, and then slowly collected the ink line.

The horse-faced monkey was fiercely restrained by Jiang Qixi's ink line and dragged out of the old well.

I was so angry that I stepped forward, raised my leg and kicked a few times, and the two laying hens were all harmed by this thing!

Jiang Qixi looked at the horse-faced monkey, thought about it, walked to the well, and put the bucket down.

"It's out of the water." Jiang Qixi's voice was a little excited.

"Sure enough, this thing is holding down the water outlet!" I said angrily.

Jiang Qixi nodded, "In this way, there is finally some hope." ”

I suddenly thought of something and pointed out the courtyard, "What about the others?" ”

"Help. However, it is good to have a few wells with water, and at the moment, it is not too ostentatious. Jiang Qixi said lightly, and then took out a yellow talisman from the small flower bag and pasted it on the horse-faced monkey.

I looked at the horse-faced monkey that was slowly turning into charcoal, and I felt a sigh of relief.

"Chen Xichun, I thought about it for a while, the lightning strike wood in your hand seems to have weakened."

I thought about it, if it was really as Jiang Qixi said, in the old ancestral hall, he could still stab the old snake with the flower skin to death, why is it so bad to beat this water monkey now, although the accuracy is not good, but it is also stabbed.

"Ghost Snow is a Yin Thing, and Lightning Strike Wood is the Heavenly Treasure of Zhigang, I guess, it may have been temporarily suppressed by Ghost Snow, to put it mildly, you are almost like an ordinary person now, so, during this time, it is better for me not to leave your side."
