I secretly said that it was not good, and I got up and chased after it.

The two of us jumped out and yelled, but Aunt Yue over there didn't seem to hear it and didn't react.

The little white snake wrapped around her neck suddenly turned around, glanced at us, and leaped outward, plunging into the water like lightning. As soon as the little snake left, Aunt Yue's body shook, fell backwards and fell to the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.

At the same time, the water monkey seemed to have woken up from a big dream, erupted into a crazy scream, jumped up and pounced on Aunt Yuezi, its sharp claws stretched out, and scratched her face.

The claws of the water monkey are like iron hooks, more than an inch long, shining with black light, if this is scratched, it will definitely open the skin and flesh, and the face will be completely ruined!

In desperation, I raised the scythe in my hand and threw it at the water monkey. At the same time, he made a tiger pounce forward, and grabbed Aunt Yue's feet.

At this time, Mai Xiang's sister-in-law arrived, she was bold and strong, and smashed it down with a hoe against the water monkey.

The agility of the water monkey was beyond imagination, and in the face of the attack from both sides, it screamed strangely, swung away my sickle with one paw, twisted itself when it landed, let go of the hoe, and continued to scratch at Aunt Yue's face.

This evil beast is not big, but it is too fierce, in the face of the attack of two people, it does not go into the water to escape, it still only thinks about hurting people.

Fortunately, after a momentary delay, I finally adjusted my posture, grabbed Aunt Yue's feet and dragged her back a meter away.

The claws of the water monkey scratched the top of Aunt Yue's head, and then pounced forward, only to hear a movement of "Gang Changchang", the copper chain was tightened, and it was dragged hard.

Its feet were chained to the limit and stretched to the limit, and it refused to give up, struggling to scratch as hard as it could.

I held the soft Aunt Yue in my arms, looking at the sharp claws flying in front of me, my heart was terrified, if I was pounced on my body by this thing, my flesh and blood would be blurred in the blink of an eye.

I held my aunt in one hand, fumbled for the scythe with the other, and slashed at the distorted monkey face.

After this struggle, the copper chain did not move at all, and the water monkey saw that it could not do anything, so he no longer did a senseless struggle, and turned around and prepared to enter the water.

At this moment, Mai Xiangsao's hoe smashed down again.

The sister-in-law hated this evil animal very much, and this time she used her dead power, and the hoe was turned into a sledgehammer by her, with a "woo" wind.

It's a pity that the speed of people is still not comparable to that of this half-beast and half-ghost beast, and the powerful hoe was easily dodged and plunged deep into the mud and sand. The water monkey dodged the smash, jumped to the water's edge, and jumped high, ready to jump into the water.

However, the evil beast did not get its wish, and as soon as it took off, there was a harsh sound of metal rubbing, and the copper chain tightened again, and Shengsheng pulled it back.

It turned out that although Mai Xiang's hoe failed, it happened to be tied to the bend of the chain and circled halfway.

Although the water monkey is fierce, it is not a human after all, it is not so smart, and when it is trapped, it will not go around, but will struggle frantically and run to the opposite side, and it will circle in an instant.

Mai Xiang's sister-in-law didn't dare to get close to the hoe in her hand, so she hurriedly retreated, and we watched the water monkey from a distance around the hoe again and again, and finally entangled herself and couldn't move anymore......

It was so fierce that its two hind legs were entangled, and its front paws were still scratching, baring its fangs at us.

I was only free at this time, so I hurriedly checked the aunt in my arms.

I couldn't laugh or cry during this examination, my aunt was breathing steadily, and she was snoring finely, but she just fell asleep...... But there was something wrong, the water monkey was so loud and ugly, but she showed no signs of being woken up.

Aunt Yue was fine, I was relieved, grabbed the sickle again, gritted my teeth and walked towards the trapped water monkey.

Now it has no room to turn around, it has become meat on the cutting board, you can cut it however you want!

I didn't spare my hand, and there was a sickle on the top of its head, and immediately the skin and flesh opened, and dark red blood gushed out, emitting a strong fishy smell.

This thing is between life and death, and in the words of the blind man, its soul is dead, its body is half dead, and it is not a normal creature at all. After being slashed open by my scythe, not only did it not fear, but roared more fiercely, and its small gray eyes were full of fierce light.

I also got guts, scolding, slashing frantically, and flesh and blood flying.

I don't know how many times I cut it, but the water monkey finally stopped moving, and lay on the river beach to catch his breath, and it looked like it was about to die.

I took a lighter out of my pocket, lit it, and cautiously leaned in.

Blind Wang said that this thing has extremely heavy yin energy, and yin energy can help burn, and it doesn't actually need firewood to light it.

Sure enough, as soon as the flame touched its paws, it heard a "boom" sound, as if it was lit on gasoline, and the wet water monkey immediately burned into a large fireball.

The water monkey, which was still dying just now, jumped desperately, making a "squeaking" scream, and the big fireball was churning violently.

I hurriedly pulled Mai Xiang's sister-in-law away and waited for the water monkey to finish burning.

Gradually, the fireball stopped struggling and burned quietly, and the fire was blazing with black smoke billowing and emitting a strong stench.

"It's dead, shouldn't there be a big flood this year......" Mai Xiang's sister-in-law muttered to herself, don't look at her bravery just now, in fact, it was a blast, and now I think about it for a while.

Compared with the threat of water monkeys, people are still more afraid of flooding, and it is difficult for those who have not experienced it to imagine the horror, the flood is overwhelming, all the way to the house collapses, and life is harvested like autumn leaves.

Legend has it that if any monkey is not killed and burned, it will be flooded this year. But in my opinion, this rumor may not be true, at least not at the moment.

Last time, when I fished out the female corpse, the copper chain was still three feet underwater, but this time, it had reached three meters above the river beach, that is to say, in just a few days, the water level of the Huai River had dropped by at least two feet!

Now it is not as good as in previous years, after the sixth month of the lunar calendar every year, there will be a dry period, and the river will gradually decline, but this year it will fall too fast.

Just pondering, Aunt Yue's puzzled voice came from behind him, "Why am I here?" Xiaoxi, Maixiang, I ...... What's going on? ”

Aunt Yue had already woken up, she sat on the ground, looked left and right, her face gradually turned pale, and she shuddered.

The two of us hurriedly greeted her, and one by one helped her up.

"Sister Yue, are you ...... by the river" Sister-in-law Mai Xiang was about to ask, but I interrupted her with a look.

After thinking about the wording, I asked softly, "Auntie, what did you do last night, do you remember it now?" ”

Aunt Yue's eyes were full of confusion, and after thinking about it carefully, she shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just remember that I came out to fetch water, and when I got to the well, I didn't remember anything later...... What the hell is wrong with me? ”

I don't know how to answer her question, it's all completely beyond my knowledge, but one thing seems certain, everything Aunt Yue did was done unconsciously.

I couldn't help but think of the night I first explored the bottom of the well, I was bitten by the same snake, and then I slept on the surface of the well all night, and when I woke up, I had no memory at all, and the situation was so similar to that of Aunt Yuezi. I just don't know what I did that night, after losing consciousness......

Now it seems that Aunt Yue has been entangled by the little snake, and it is conceivable that the snake is definitely not simple. I just don't understand, it doesn't seem to hurt people, what is the purpose?

Seeing that the fire was gradually extinguishing and the water monkey had been burned into a puddle of ashes, I breathed a sigh of relief and walked back with Sister-in-law Mai Xiang. The person has been found, and he has to hurry back to the village to inform the village chief and call everyone back, it is very unsafe outside.

I had just walked a short distance, and suddenly, there was a dense "rustling" sound like rain behind me.

Looking back, it scared us out of the sky. I saw that the river beach, which was empty just now, was crawling with black water monkeys, dense and uncountable, zombies lying on the ground and sniffing, sticking out their tongues to lick the ashes of the water monkeys.

Every time they lick it, they close their eyes and taste it as if it were the best delicacy in the world.

"My God!" Aunt Yue was timid, and she was so frightened that her legs became weak and she collapsed to the ground.

Mai Xiang's sister-in-law and I hurriedly set her up, and ran away, so many water monkeys, once they attack us, there will be no place to die today!

Fortunately, those water monkeys were so intoxicated with the "deliciousness" that they didn't notice our presence at all and let us run away.

After running half a mile in one go, we all threw ourselves on the ground, gasping for breath, both tired and frightened.

Looking back, there was a large mass of black pressing, and it made people's hairs stand on end. In the past, it was rumored that there was only one monkey in the water, but I didn't expect it to be a group this year! What does this mean?

"Yikes! A ship is coming! Mai Xiangsao found something, pointed to the other side of the Huai River and shouted.

When I looked at my finger, I saw a small boat coming from there, and there was a man standing in the bow of the boat, standing with his head held high, looking in the direction they were coming from, facing the group of water monkeys. The person who came was a middle-aged man, wearing a Taoist bun, five locks of long beard, wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, pedaling Baina shoes, and carrying a large package behind him.

I hurriedly jumped up and waved my hand and shouted, "Don't come here!" There are water monkeys! ”

So many water monkeys, one bite at a time, can tear him alive!

However, after hearing my warning, the Taoist priest not only did not go back, but chanted loudly.

"Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. Yu people say Haoran, full of gloom. Huanglu when Qingyi, Han and Tuming Court ......"

His singing voice is heroic and cheerful, melodious and frustrating, echoing endlessly on the Huai River, mixed with the sound of the waves, as if implying some kind of rhythm. My heart was beating like a drum, but when I heard the song, my mood gradually calmed down.

On the river beach, the water monkeys who were drunk with the ashes were immediately alert, stopped licking one after another, and looked at him with their necks closed, as if they were facing a great enemy, and shouted loudly.

I was extremely nervous, staring at the Taoist priest at the bow of the boat, holding the sickle tightly, and saying that if it was not good, I would have to try to go up and save people.

As we watched, the boat approached the shore in a leisurely manner.
