By the time the person who had gone out to look for the water ghost's birthday came back, I had already wrapped all seventeen charms with the sun shade charm, and I was waiting for them to play their role at night.? And the children who were crying wolf were also taken home by their own adults, and when they went back, they were still muttering something? Actually, I can probably guess without thinking about it, these little guys must be muttering that I'm a bad uncle......

But what I didn't expect was that the people who came back didn't bring me any good news! Because according to the situation they inquired, not only in the Chushui village where we are, but even in the surrounding villages, no one died last month!

"How could it not be?"

I looked at the villagers who came back with a dejected look, and I suddenly became a little anxious! If I didn't have the birth date of the water ghost, although I could get rid of it, it would have had a certain impact on myself if it violated Taoist ethics! Because after all, the water ghost itself is also a victim, and I found its birth date to resolve its grievances and let it reincarnate smoothly. Getting rid of it directly is the next step, which is equivalent to me strangling a living being!

"Was there a newborn child who was thrown away that month ago?"

I suddenly remembered the appearance of the water ghost under the water, although it looked scary, but it did look like a baby, so I casually asked the villagers.

After listening to my question, the villagers who came back seemed to remember something. Grunted to me! Seeing my bewildered look, Master Zhang quickly translated what the villagers said to me.

Under the translation of Master Zhang, I immediately understood that what the villagers said turned out to be a very strange triviality! They said that there was a family in the village, and the head of the house was called Hou Jinyu, who was a young descendant! Hou Jinyu's wife was pregnant with the child at the end of last year, but she has not heard of the child's birth until now.

Moreover, there is a custom in Miao Village, whenever there is a newborn in the family, the child's father must go to the father-in-law's house to report the good news at the first time, and at the same time hang a symbolic sign at the door of his house; Hanging a tea branch on the door means that a boy has been born, and if it is a seedling, it means that a daughter has been born! In this way, the neighbors of the village will know that there is a new birth in the main family, and they will know whether it will be a boy or a girl.

But what makes the villagers feel strange is that from the end of last year to now, it has been almost eleven months, but Hou Jinyu's home has not moved at all! After all, according to the normal time, if the child has already been born, it is already time to make a full moon wine. Another strange thing is that Hou Jinyu's family has rarely gone out again since the past two months, and occasionally comes out once or twice in a hurry, for fear that others will ask something?

"Looks like it's supposed to be it!"

After listening to the words of the villagers, combined with the time of this incident, I was basically sure that the person who drowned in the river and turned into a water ghost should be the newborn child of Hou Jinyu's family that they said. After all, their family is not the king of Tota Li, so why can't they conceive for three years and give birth? And according to the villagers, their behavior has been abnormal in recent times, so I decided to go to Hou Jinyu's house to see what happened?

The wooden building of Hou Jinyu's house is not very far from their house, and we didn't walk a few steps to get there; Moreover, in order to avoid being closed, Granny Jiang and the village chief also followed us to Hou Jinyu's house, after all, the two of them were the most prestigious in the entire village!

After knocking on the door, Hou Jinyu came out to open the door for us for a long time, and after opening the door, he didn't seem to expect that so many people would come to his house, looking a little uncomfortable!

And while he's watching us, I'm watching his every move! The Hou Jinyu in front of him looks very ordinary, and he is also dressed in an authentic Miao costume, which does not make people think that there is anything strange about him.

Because the village chief was there, there was no need for us to talk too much, and after a few polite words, Hou Jinyu invited us to the house! Judging from his reaction, the village chief probably didn't mention the water ghost and his children to him.

When we entered the house, a few of us men sat down on the long-legged wooden bench of Hou Jinyu's house, and then chatted with each other; As for Granny Jiang, she glanced at Gao Jing and took her to the room on the second floor.

Within a few minutes, we heard a quarrel coming from upstairs! It seems that Granny Jiang, who went upstairs, quarreled with Hou Jinyu's wife.

Although I don't understand what they're arguing about? But as soon as I saw Hou Jinyu's face change, he was about to go upstairs, and the village chief and several other villagers also quickly got up and chased after him, and I knew that something was happening upstairs!

Just as we were about to follow to find out, there was a sudden sound of clattering footsteps on the stairs! I fixed my eyes and saw a woman with a big belly coming down the stairs, who looked like Hou Jinyu's wife! After the big-bellied woman went downstairs, Granny Jiang and Gao Jing also followed, so there was no need for us to go up again.

"Hou Jinyu's wife's big belly is pretended, and it is stuffed with clothes! After we found out, she quarreled with Granny Jiang! Gao Jing walked up to me and explained to me the reason for the quarrel just now.

After the woman went downstairs, she didn't say anything, just hid behind Hou Jinyu and kept crying; As for Hou Jinyu, what are they arguing with Granny Jiang and the village chief?

After arguing for about five or six minutes, Hou Jinyu suddenly squatted on the ground with emotion and cried with his head in his arms! I saw Granny Jiang, and they looked at him with a look of hatred for iron but not steel! There were also one or two family members of the deceased, who seemed to want to rush up to fight Hou Jinyu, but were stopped by the people in front.

At this time, Master Zhang came over and told me about the content of their conversation, that is, the ins and outs of the matter!

After listening to Master Zhang's words, I was truly sure that the water ghost who drowned in the river was indeed the child born by Hou Jinyu's wife a month ago!

A month ago, Hou Jinyu's wife was in labor! Originally, Hou Jinyu's family happily waited for the birth of the child, and even prepared the tea branches and seedlings to be hung at the door! But after the child was born, it made their hearts sink to the bottom all of a sudden, because their children only had half of their heads after they were born, and they didn't even have brains!

And the doctor at the hospital told him that the child has no brains and will not live long! And even if you are alive, you need a huge amount of money every day to ensure that your child does not have problems. (To be continued.)
