Chapter 311: Granny Jiang
On the third day, we arrived at a village called Chushui Village, and we heard people nearby say that there is a Gu woman in Chushui Village, and she has a lot of research on Gu arts, and this Gu Po's surname is Jiang, so the people in the village call her her.
When we arrived at Granny Jiang's house in Chushui Village, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the layout of Granny Jiang's house was no different from other people's houses.
The Granny Jiang in front of her looked much older than the grass ghost women we had seen before, and she was about eight or ninety years old from her face. But what surprised me was that according to the people in the village, Granny Jiang was actually 110 years old this year.
I heard from the people in the village that Granny Jiang began to learn Gu art since she was a child, and she had no children or daughters under her knees, and she lived alone in this wooden building all her life; People in the village generally come to Granny Jiang to see a doctor if they have any minor problems, and Granny Jiang has never received their money.
I saw that Granny Jiang was a little bent when she walked, maybe because of her long-term exposure to Gu techniques, her complexion was a little dark, which made people feel very uncomfortable. And her accent is also the local dialect, we didn't understand a word, fortunately we came to find a local driver, so we can maintain normal communication.
After a few words of greeting with Granny Jiang, we got to the point! Granny Jiang told us that the current grass ghost women are actually not worthy of their names, but they are just earthworks that can cure diseases and save people, or they raise a few poisonous insects to treat people and remove Gu under the reputation of grass ghost women.
In her opinion, the real grass ghost woman is disdainful of revealing her reputation, and she will not take the initiative to treat people if her Gu art has not reached a certain level. This is also the reason why Granny Jiang only said to the people in the village that she was a Gu woman, not a grass ghost woman! Because she felt that she had studied Gu art for decades, and she had only learned a half-baked child, how could she be worthy of the title of a draft ghost woman?
Later, we talked a lot with Granny Jiang, and although her face didn't look very good, it was still good to us; And she was also very curious about the Gu in the forest, and was willing to help. It's just that the old man is too old, and he definitely can't stand any rushing! So I rushed back to Wenshan with Hu Yifei and the driver overnight, preparing to bring Lin Zi over tomorrow for Granny Jiang to see.
Early the next morning, Hu Yifei and Gao Jing and I rushed to the water village with the unconscious Lin Zi! But before we could enter the village, we saw a group of villagers in the village in front of us, and I didn't know what was going on.
The car was blocked out, and it was no longer easy for us to sit in the car; So I got out of the car and walked over to where the villagers were, to see what was going on. As I got closer, I heard a cry from the crowd in front of me.
"Oops, why is it so miserable?" When we separated and gathered around saw what was going on, we were taken aback.
I saw a child of eight or nine years old lying on the ground wet, shriveled all over, even his eyeballs had been gouged out, and not only that, but even one of his hands was covered with blood, and the nails on his ten fingers had all been pulled out. Next to the little boy's body, there is also a man, a woman and an old lady, wearing the unique costumes of Miao Village, looking very sad to cry, according to my estimation it should be the little boy's family!
"Who is so cruel? Not even such a young child! The local driver who followed us also followed us to look inside, and when he saw the tragic condition of the little boy's body, he was immediately frightened and turned his head away, and muttered a burst of muttering in his mouth.
"Could it be a water ghost?" As I stared at the scars on the little boy's corpse and at the disturbing villagers, I suddenly came up with such a word in my head!
"Did this kid come up from the river?" To test my idea, I pulled a local villager next to me and asked him about it.
"He said yes!"
Because I spoke Mandarin, the villager could naturally understand it, and hurriedly nodded to me like a chicken pecking rice, and looked surprised. It's a pity that I can't understand the dialect he mutters, but fortunately, the driver was on the side to translate for me, so I knew what he was saying.
“%¥……&&”
But what I didn't expect was that my simple question actually attracted the attention of the villagers, and when they saw that I had told me the place where the little boy had died, they immediately surrounded me and began to speak, but in a dialect that I did not understand. However, judging by their expressions, it seems that they should be asking why I know? Or ask me to help them or something......
"They said that several people had died in the village, and all of them were children, and the death was exactly the same, so let you help them!" Seeing that I was a bit of a godless man, the driver knew that I couldn't understand what they were saying, and hurriedly translated it for me on the side, but the general meaning was similar to what I had just guessed.
Seeing so many villagers staring at me, I knew that something was going on again! I had to take out a yellow talisman from my backpack, recite the Transcendence Spell, and then put it on the little boy's corpse. After that, I told the driver to tell the villagers to dispose of the child's body first, and then come to me to talk about the matter in detail after the disposal was completed.
After listening to what I said, the driver conveyed my meaning to the villagers as it was; The villagers naturally knew that it was not good to leave the corpse like this, so they hurriedly did what I said. And we also took advantage of this opportunity to send Lin Zi to Granny Jiang's house.
"You just said that it was the water ghost who killed the children in the village?" As soon as I arrived at Granny Jiang's house, Gao Jing couldn't wait to ask me.
"That's right! According to the death of the little boy, it should be almost inseparable! I nodded and answered Gao Jing's question, and I couldn't help but think of a statement about water ghosts.
Water ghosts, also known as water monkeys, are generally people who commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water or drown because of accidents, and after they die, they are resentful and then wander in the place where they drowned, becoming water ghosts. Because water ghosts are trapped in the water and cannot be reincarnated, driven by resentment, they will hide in the water and wait for someone to pass by, deliberately lure people to the river, or force people to fall into the water and die, and pull them to be substitutes for the dead ghosts!
And not only that, but the water ghost also likes to play tricks on people who are dragged into the water by it. When someone is lured to drown, it will suck up the blood of the deceased's body, then gouge out his eyeballs and pull out his nails, the method is very cruel!
