It was already dawn, and the village was noisy, with many people shouting and some ringing the gong in a hurry.

Only then did I remember that last night, Wang Blind Man and I went to the well three times to dig up the woman's corpse, and the well water was gone......

You know, this well is the treasure of the village, let's poke the big basket!

Thanks to something big in the village, no one went out at night, otherwise we made a lot of noise last night, and if we were caught, the consequences would be unimaginable!

I was frightened for a while, and I made eye contact with the blind man, and the old man's face was pale and frightened.

"Can't tell!" I whispered, and the blind man nodded again and again.

We were a little relieved and sat down on the pedals.

Suddenly, I thought of something, and my eyes widened suddenly. We didn't do anything last night, Aunt Yue is here, if she talks about it...... It's a big problem!

The blind man seemed to think of this as well, and gasped.

"No, you'll have to go outside and find out what's going on." I pushed the blind man.

"But......" The blind man's old face wrinkled, and he was about to cry.

Just when the two of us were passing the buck to each other, a familiar shout came from outside: "Xiaoxi, Ding Xiaoxi." ”

It's Guo Dajiang, "Wait outside, I'll come." ”

I quickly got up and put the mosquito net down. When I turned off the mosquito net, I saw that the place where I was lying last night was wet, and it seems that I cried all night after falling asleep last night......

Looking at the female corpse again, she still lies in the same posture as last night, quiet and beautiful.

Sighing, I clamped the mosquito net with a clip and pulled the blind man out of the room.

Guo Dajiang stood outside the gate and looked around, saw me out of the room, immediately greeted me, and asked mysteriously, "Do you know?" There was another big incident in the village last night! ”

"What's the matter?" I pretended to be ignorant, and the blind man was suffocating behind me and pretending to be dead.

Guo Dajiang sighed and said, "The matter is what Aunt Yuhe said this morning, Aunt Yue went out to fetch water alone last night and never went back; This morning, everyone searched all over the village, but not only did they not find anyone, but they also found that the well water in our village was gone......"

"What?!" I was shocked.

This time it's not a disguise, I never imagined that Aunt Yue didn't go back last night and disappeared!

When she was at the well, she was obviously scared, so why didn't she go home and ran away?

"Uncle Village Chief is gathering everyone, I'll talk about it." Guo Dajiang urged: "Xiaoxi, we have to go quickly." ”

There are people in the village, and I, as a member, must not stay out of the situation. Turning around, I told the blind man, "Wang...... Sir, you help to take care of the house, don't go anywhere. ”

When I spoke, I gave a look, saying that I was looking after the family, but in fact, I was optimistic about the corpse of my relative, and he naturally understood. Since he is not from this village and is old, he does not have to go.

After explaining, I casually picked up a sickle and stuck it in my waist, and went out with Guo Dajiang.

When I came to the middle of the village, the villagers were all there, all worried.

Guo Jiazhu, the village head, stood on the edge of the well and issued orders loudly.

"It's a small matter if the well water is gone, anyway, Huaishui is next to it, we don't have to worry about the draft, and finding talents is a big deal." Guo Jiazhu said a word, struck the gong, and began to assign manpower, "Old Wang's big cow, you and his seven sisters-in-law are in a group, go to the east to find it, and take the machine farming road; His second uncle, you and ......"

The orders were issued in an orderly manner, and they were all matched by a man and a woman to ensure that the combat effectiveness of each group was balanced. I secretly praised myself that Guo Jiazhu is really a talent.

When it was my turn, I was in a group with Mai Xiang's sister-in-law, walked the ridge in the southeast, and found Sanlitun until I found it.

Mai Xiang's sister-in-law was wearing rubber rain boots and carrying a hoe, and she pulled me in a heroic manner, and the two of us hurried out of the village through the crowd.

Not far from the village, there is an endless green gauze tent, more than one person high. As we walked, we were vigilant, because we were not far from the Qinling Mountains, there would often be wild beasts coming down to spoil the crops.

After walking not far, a gap more than a foot wide appeared in the field at the edge of the ridge, leading to the depths.

Such a gap may have been made by a beast, or it could be a person, I discussed a few words with Mai Xiang's sister-in-law, and I was in front of me and touched it.

As soon as I stepped into the gap, I noticed an abnormality, the green gauze tent was dry land, but there was a strong fishy smell here, and the smell was not easy to describe, so I hurriedly told Mai Xiang's sister-in-law to be careful.

As I went deeper, the smell of fish became thicker and thicker, mixed with the smell of blood, and I secretly shouted in my heart, and pulled out my sickle to guard against it.

After walking for a while, it suddenly became clear in front of me, and a large area of green yarn tent was lodging.

A bloody picture unfolded in front of me, on the fallen sorghum stalks, there was a monster covered in black hair and wet, eating on all fours. It was the carcass of a goat, gnawed to pieces, and its entrails scattered to the ground.

Hearing the movement, the monster turned its head and looked at the two of us, revealing a hideous face.

This face is somewhat similar to that of a monkey, but with a sharper mouth, a first-order intestine in its mouth, and a piercing scream at us, baring a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"Water monkeys!" I was taken aback.

Isn't this image the legendary water monkey? This thing has always stayed in the Huai Shui and rarely goes ashore, so it will run into the field to hunt livestock?

Just as I was in doubt, Mai Xiang's sister-in-law behind me roared angrily, raised her hoe high, pounced on it and smashed it hard.

I have to admire, although she is a woman, Mai Xiang's sister-in-law is braver than most men. This thing looks scary and ugly, and there is blood on its mouth, and I was so panicked when I looked at it, she actually said that she would fight it.

My sister-in-law was on the line, so I naturally couldn't get behind, so I also launched a charge with a scythe.

The water monkey was frightened, the hair on his back stood on end, and after making a strange cry, he turned and ran.

The speed of the evil animal was too fast, and I saw it kick its hind legs, and jumped out like lightning, and in a "bang" sound, the green gauze tent was knocked out of a road, and the blades of grass danced wildly.

Mai Xiang's sister-in-law and I slashed into the air, shouted, and chased along the passage where the water monkey had crashed out.

It is impossible to run past the water monkey, but the traces it leaves along the way cannot be erased, and it is chased along the gap.

At that time, I couldn't be angry, this evil thing will harm livestock when it comes ashore, and I can't keep it from harming the children next time, I just want to catch it and smash it to pieces!

I have to say that this idea is a little uncalm, not far in front of the Huai River, not waiting for us to catch up, the evil animal is afraid that it will already go into the water.

After running for a while, I rushed out of the green gauze tent, and the waves of water were displayed in front of me.

Looking ahead, the tidal flats on both sides of the Huai River are gentle, the turbid waves are rolling, and the sight is unobstructed, where there are still water monkeys. This thing has limited combat effectiveness on the shore, and once it is in the water, it is its world, and it can no longer be caught.

I stamped my feet with hatred, and when I knew that, I would have brought a gunpowder troll, and one shot was blown off, eliminating harm for the people.

There was a shouting from behind him, and Mai Xiang's sister-in-law didn't run as fast as me, so she just got out at this time. I hurriedly grabbed her and sighed, "I don't have to chase her, I went into the water." ”

Mai Xiangsao gasped, threw the hoe on the ground, and said hatefully: "The plagued water monkey, just now, I was almost able to break its bones!" ”

At this moment, I found something, and quickly covered my sister-in-law's mouth and pulled her to squat down together.

Through the grass, I saw a black thing emerging from the Huai River, slowly approaching the shore.

Mai Xiang's sister-in-law immediately widened her eyes and gently grabbed the hoe on the ground back.

It was a hairy mass that looked a lot like the water monkey that had just escaped.

"If you dare to go ashore again, you will have to pick your skin!" The sister-in-law whispered viciously, and tightened the handle of the hoe.

As we watched, our mouths gradually widened, and our eyes were full of disbelief.

In the Huaishui, the mass gradually rose, but what was revealed was not a water monkey, but a head!

That wasn't the point, as he rose further, the man first revealed a plaid shirt, then dark trousers, and finally a pair of white and bare feet.

It was none other than Aunt Yue, who disappeared last night!

"My God, Sister Yue is so bold!" Mai Xiang's sister-in-law exclaimed, "She even dared to go into the Huai Shui alone!" ”

I hurriedly pulled my sister-in-law and signaled her not to speak or stand up.

I vaguely felt that Aunt Yue's behavior was not quite right.

On the river beach, Aunt Yue has completely come out of the water, still walking towards us, leaning forward thirty degrees, with her hands on her chest, as if she is carrying something, very difficult, and her feet are not slipping in the mud.

After turning her back from the river for three meters, Aunt Yue was relieved and sat on the river beach.

At this time, I finally saw what she was carrying.

It was a bronze chain, and there was a bronze lock at the top, the same one that held the corpse of my girl, which I fished out and threw back into the river.

Looking at this strange scene, my brain completely crashed, what was going on? Mai Xiang's sister-in-law also noticed that something was wrong with Aunt Yue, and covered her mouth with her hand, looking at it in horror.

On the river beach, after resting for a while, Aunt Yue suddenly hummed a strange song to the river. Her singing voice is melodious and continuous, and it is so ghostly that I get goosebumps when I hear it in broad daylight.

After singing for a while, the river in front of Aunt Yue was divided, and a black thing came out, this time it was not mistaken, it was the water monkey who had just escaped!

The ferocious water monkey seemed to have turned into a cat, and while swimming, it made a "whining" sound, like a night owl crying, unspeakably ugly. When he came ashore, he walked up to his aunt and lay down on the ground, whimpering louder, but he did not dare to move.

Aunt Yue was not afraid at all, picked up the bronze chain, stuck it on the feet of the water monkey, pinched it hard, and the bronze lock that I had pried open was locked again.

Just as Aunt Yue lowered her head to lock it, I saw a small snow-white snake swimming out of her long black hair.

The head of the little snake was pressed against the aunt's cheek, and the snake letter was uncertain, and the scarlet eyes stared at the water monkey lying next to it, but the aunt seemed to be unaware.

"Sister Yue!"

Sister-in-law Mai Xiang finally couldn't help it, and ran over with a hoe shouting: "Snake! You have a snake around your neck! ”
