The rest is what we all know.

But the reason why he was forced to go into the water to eat fish turned out to be because the pond was dug up and the number of fish in it increased. This made him panic because he couldn't eat so many fish, so he deliberately bit the fish in the water to cause trouble for Riko. He just wanted to make Li's fish farming plan fail, so that the fish in the pond would not increase every year. The reason why he has become much older is because the yin qi of the fish is heavy, and eating too many fish will also damage the body, making the body aging faster.

But he didn't know that the reasons why Goster had imprisoned him underwater were all fake. He's just looking for a stand-in. Eating fish could not restore his soul, let alone truly cure his "heavenly gelding" body. His soul had been out of his body for too long, and it was basically impossible to get it back.

I wanted to help him, but I couldn't do it.

I think of the red-haired savage mountain father who was buried in the corpse breeding place and came back to life, he was not only covered in hair, but also stupid, and had a lot of strength, in order to beg for a cigarette to smoke, he could do a day's physical work for others.

His consciousness is clearer than that of Daddy, probably because he has not completely died once like Daddy, and he has not completely lost his memory.

But I couldn't bear to tell him the truth. He still has some consciousness now, probably because there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, which is the last bit of motivation to support him, and if this hope is also gone, then he is likely to become even more crazy than the mountain father. Not to mention mountain daddy, even normal people can't accept this kind of truth.

With that in mind, I had to tell him a big lie. I patiently told him that eating fish would indeed work for him, but not necessarily from that pond, but with other fish, and not so much. Then I put a lot of thought into explaining why it was the way it was.

Then, Uncle Li and I re-sent him to the previous hospital.

That's all I can do.

When he left there again, Uncle Li said inexplicably: "Is it true that his soul can't be recovered?" ”

I smiled helplessly and said, "It's like a lost thing, if it's just lost, go back to the same way and look for it immediately, maybe you can find it back." But I've been missing it for many years, and now I remember to look for it, so there's basically no hope. ”

Uncle Li let out a long sigh.

It took me three years before I realized that my statement was not accurate.

There are things that can be recovered even if they are lost for a long time. Even if it's the soul that is lost.

But three years later, the water zombie is no longer alive. In fact, the year after the water zombie returned to the hospital, his health deteriorated. The whole body begins to shrink. The people in the hospital were helpless, let alone what Uncle Li and I could do to help. Less than the end of the following year, the water zombie died. At the time of his death, his body had shrunk by nearly half compared to the original. Uncle Li took a photo of him as he was dying and sent it to me, and he was curled up like a dried corpse.

Uncle Li said that the water zombie was quite happy when he was alive, eating a steamed fish every day, and even the meat with thorns was eaten in the stomach, and it was not stuck in the throat. He is also hopeful about the curative effects of eating fish.

Hearing Uncle Li say this, I felt a little comforted.

But the girl I met three years later who raised hungry ghosts made me sigh again, if I had met her earlier, maybe the water zombie would not have died so early.
