Chapter 5: Soul Fishing
Oops!
When Long Yang woke up with his head touched, he couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info said that he should have shouted at the moment when he was knocked unconscious, and he shouted it at this time.
"What's going on?! Yan Yan, you took me out to see the world and knocked me unconscious? Long Yang sat up, his memory still stuck in the previous picture.
"What's going on! You don't know how to die like this again! If it hadn't been for Grandma's arrival, you would have been finished! Yan Yan was reprimanded by her grandmother and just found a target to vent.
"What's wrong with me? I don't even know what's going on?! I'll go, do you have a better reason? Long Yang pretended to be innocent, he wanted to find clues, so he could only start from Yan Yan. What's more, he can only contact Yan Yan.
"I let you out with my grandmother behind my back, you are good, you are confused, and you will go in the direction of the wise man, I can't stop you. Do you know our rules here?! ”
"Lost? Propriety? Long Yang scratched his head, he really didn't know about this, but it was also what he needed to know.
"You stupid hat, where do you think you've been?!" Yan Yan forgot her grandmother's instructions again and began to talk eloquently. "This is the tomb city, surrounded by ghost kings, if it weren't for the wise men, we would all die." Yan Yan spoke, and Long Yang listened carefully.
It's really unusual here, all people are people, and this is not nonsense, because they are people from the cemetery, people who live in the tombs.
The owner of the Tomb is a wise man, and very few people have seen him, only that he is the guardian of all people in the Tomb. The wise man has great wisdom and great energy, and he gives people food and a safe place to live.
Moreover, there is a Yin River not far from Long Yang's residence, where Yan Yan fished for souls. The so-called soul fishing is to fish out the ghosts from the Yin River, store them in special containers, and then hand them over to the tomb man, who will hand them over to the tomb officer, and the tomb officer will hand them over to the tomb owner, and the tomb owner will hand them over layer by layer until the wise man.
Of course, the members of each tomb, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, must complete a certain soul-fishing task every day, otherwise they will not be able to exchange for a day's food. If you have more, you will be rewarded, and if you have less, you will be punished. The rat meat that Long Yang uses to restore his body is the extra reward for Yan Yan after completing tasks every day. This girl is tired.
What Yan Yan said was true, but her information was too little, and Long Yang could only know so much. After sorting out these, Long Yang didn't ask Yan Yan too much, but talked to her about other things.
"You've lived here since you were a child?" Long Yang asked.
"Well, I've lived here since I was a kid and grew up with my grandmother." Yan Yan is already familiar with Long Yang, and she is not as defensive as before. Besides, grandma seems to have a good impression of Long Yang, and she naturally has more affection for Long Yang. Moreover, she has lived with her grandmother since she was a child, and she has not had much contact with others, and when she meets someone who can talk, she opens her heart.
"What about your parents?" Long Yang then asked.
"Grandma said they went to a distant land, to fight ghosts. I probably hadn't met them, and even if I did, I don't remember them at the time. Yan Yan lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked about that." Long Yang said apologetically.
"It's nothing, I've asked my grandmother countless times before, and she always answered like this. Later, I didn't ask anymore, and it was the same answer anyway. Yan Yan smiled bitterly.
Yes, children who have left their parents are like duckweed without roots, and it is difficult to find a belonging. In contrast, Long Yang still has a few opportunities to get along with his mother, and with the company and teaching of his father-in-law Jin Shan, he is much happier than Yan Yan. Thinking of this, the corners of Long Yang's mouth were smiling.
"You're laughing at me?!" Yan Yan saw Long Yang's expression, and her face was full of anger.
"You misunderstood, I'm basically like you, I lost my parents when I was a child, and I haven't found them yet. I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at myself, because I've been looking for them for so many years and haven't found them yet. Long Yang honestly told Yan Yan about his life experience, since they are connected by the same fate, how can they laugh at each other.
"So you're so miserable?" Yan Yan's face changed, and she sympathized with Long Yang.
"I'm sure your mom and dad will be back, and if I can help you one day, I'll look for you." Long Yang made a solemn promise, and his eyes were full of determination.
"Really?" Although Yan Yan said that she had a question, her joy was beyond words.
"Really!" Long Yang nodded heavily in promise, expressing his determination.
"Thank you! Longyang. At this time, Yan Yan really regarded Long Yang as her own person, and there was no gap in her heart to question. Long Yang didn't agree casually, he wanted to find his parents, and what if he found another one.
Thinking of this, Long Yang's face suddenly darkened, and he looked very annoyed.
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Yan asked with concern.
"To tell you the truth, I promised my brother to help him find his mother, but there is no news so far." Long Yang whispered, with a heavy heart. The brother he said was the dog baby, the dog baby's mother was missing, tried his best, worked hard, and there was no news.
"Did you look for it?" Yan Yan looked into Long Yang's eyes and asked.
"Always looking!"
"That's, that's good, that's not breaking your promise, that's what you're doing, it's just that it hasn't come to fruition." Yan Yan saw the regret and sincerity in Long Yang's eyes, and she understood Long Yang. "I believe in you."
I believe you! This sentence was also said by the dog baby. Since Long Yang promised to help him find his mother, he has never urged Long Yang, and he has not even asked when he came to ask. But Long Yang knows that the dog baby cares more about his mother's whereabouts than anyone else, because his father is no longer there, he himself is no longer there, where is his mother?!
"And your grandmother?" Long Yang reorganized his thoughts, withdrew from his sadness, and continued to ask.
"My grandma? Oh, and everyone here calls my grandmother a ghost woman. Speaking of her grandmother, Yan Yan also withdrew from the emotion of missing her parents, full of affectionate words.
"You say you're thousands of years old, what's the matter?" Long Yang peeled off the cocoon and asked the questions in his heart one by one. I was going to get out of the house and come to the outside world to know all the secrets. But who knows, he was knocked out as soon as he showed up, and he didn't get any detailed information.
Besides, how can a little girl of seven or eight years old be thousands of years old!
"What's this, I'm thousands of years old!" Yan Yan completely calmed down and became the original little girl's actions and expressions. "How old are you?" She asked proudly.
"Me? I'm less than twenty. Long Yang didn't dare to say the specific age, and only reported twenty. Compared with Yan Yan's age of thousands of years, it is the same to report more and less, and they will be despised.
"Hee-hee, you're so young, according to this calculation, you should call me 、、、、、、 old senior!" Yan Yan uttered countless old words, almost saying that she was angry.
"How do you calculate time here, you are a stinky girl of seven or eight years old, why are you so old?" Long Yang asked unconvinced. It's true, how can there be such a thing, it's a little girl!
"Then I don't know, I'm that big anyway!" Yan Yan pouted and shouted.
"Okay, good, you're an old-fashioned old-timer, and you're very old, okay?" Long Yang raised his hand in surrender, he really couldn't argue with this little girl, because she was really a child.
"That's pretty much it, forget it, forgive me."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then laughed. Not only did Yan Yan and Long Yang eliminate their vigilance, but Long Yang also really liked this willful and cute little girl.
It was precisely because the suspicions of the two were eliminated and the estrangement disappeared that they were able to talk so much, and after talking for so long, Long Yang had a general understanding of this tomb city. But Yan Yan knows little, and he knows only a limited amount, so it can only be an approximation. As for what the tomb city is and who the wise man is, Long Yang still doesn't know anything.
"What the hell is going on with your fishing soul?" Since I don't know anything, let's wait until later, and the last question to ask at present is that Long Yang mentioned soul fishing again.
"Hey, it's fun! The first time I fished souls, I fished out someone, haha! Yan Yan didn't have a straight shape, which pot didn't open the pot, and said to Long Yang with a smile.
"Eh~, can you not mention this stubble?" Long Yang's old face was flushed, although he had been mentioned twice by Yan Yan, he was still embarrassed.
"I can't talk about it without mentioning it!" Yan Yan deliberately made things difficult and said, and her little face pretended to be innocent.
"Good, mention, mention! Well, let's mention it again! Long Yang also pretended to be angry.
"Okay, I'll tell you. To be honest, it was my first time fishing for souls. The so-called soul fishing is to fish for ghosts in the Yin River near us. Those ghosts are the villains who have invaded our tombs, and we must keep cleaning them out of the Yin River in order to keep the tombs safe, or they will become harmful monsters. Long Yang, monsters are terrible and can eat people. Yan Yan flashed her eyes and preached seriously.
"Monsters?"
"That's right, they came down the Yin River, they drew popularity here, and then they became monsters."
"You've seen it?"
"I haven't seen it, I heard it from my grandmother. And when the monster appeared, my grandmother locked me in the house and wouldn't let me out. ”
"Oh, you go on."
"There are rules in the Tomb City that only those who are over ten thousand years old can fish for souls by the Yin River, but I am not yet eight thousand years old and have no qualifications. That day, my grandmother couldn't stand my soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she let me take the lead! Yan Yan spoke happily, and she was even happier when she talked about it. Grandma was watching from the sidelines, and as soon as I threw the rod, I hooked something, and I didn't know it was you until I brought it up. Yan Yan looked at Long Yang and stuck out her tongue.
"Ahem, well, okay, thank you, you go on." Long Yang coughed twice, hiding his shyness. Say yes and don't mention it, this girl, hey! "Go on, go on."
"No, we'll come back after we fish you out, and I didn't have anything to eat that day, it's all your fault!"
"Blame me, blame me!" It seems that he was really fished out of the Yin River by Yan Yan, what kind of river is this Yin River, and he actually entered it and came here.
Today's second update. Weekend, take a break and continue tomorrow!
