Chapter Twenty-Three: Ode to the Ghost

The two walked out of the water hole while talking, and the original hostile relationship had been frozen and very harmonious.

"Little brother, you and I hit it off at first sight, so it's better to ...... How about swearing to be brothers with different surnames? As soon as he walked out of the cave, Liu Chenghui patted Ding Xiaocong on the shoulder and said happily.

Ding Xiaocong's legs were weak and he almost fell off the cliff.

"Fierce Bear...... Brothers? Ding Xiaocong turned his head to look at Liu Chenghui's old face, he was already trembling, looking at his age, it seems that he is older than his father, how can he become a brother?

"My dad won't agree......" Ding Xiaocong said weakly.

"Let's ......" Liu Chenghui waved his hand with a big grin, looking at the posture, he was about to say, "How can our dad drip ......" After thinking about it, it is estimated that this "our dad" is not as old as himself, so he hurriedly changed his words and laughed, "It seems that it is not suitable for ......."

Ding Xiaocong nodded hurriedly.

"Oops......" Liu Chenghui scratched his head, "Then let's do it first, little brother, we have a meeting in the mountains and rivers, say goodbye, and meet again in the future." ”

Ding Xiaocong couldn't wait, and hurriedly made a "please" gesture, "Don't send it." ”

"Gone!" Yoo Seung-hye was very crisp, shouted and jumped to the side, and disappeared.

Ding Xiaocong looked at the swaying bushes by the water hole, Si Ren had gone, and he often breathed a sigh of relief, this guy was chattering, he felt completely unreliable, and it was so stressful to be with him......

The source has been discovered, Ding Xiaocong hurriedly returned the same way and climbed down from the cliff. As soon as he left, Yoo Seung-hye mysteriously poked his head out from the side and said to himself, "I didn't expect to meet him, this letter is perfect for him to send." ”

After saying that, the bushes shook, and this time Yoo Seung-hye was really gone.

@@@@

When Ding Xiaocong walked back to the village along the stream, it was already dusk, and almost all the people in the village gathered at the door of the village chief's house, which was an old cooperative, and the slogan of the year was still painted on the wall, and the open space in front of the door was large enough.

After seeing Ding Xiaocong, Village Chief Guo's hanging heart was relieved, and when he couldn't see anyone for a day, he thought Ding Xiaocong had run away. "I said Master Shallot, where have you been?"

Ding Xiaocong hurriedly smiled apologetically, and said casually, "I see the scenery on the mountain is good, and I went to climb the mountain to play." ”

Regarding the water hole, Ding Xiaocong didn't plan to let the villagers know, after all, they used the water flowing out of the hole, and they would inevitably be suspicious. In fact, after so many years, the resentment and viciousness in it have long been gone, and there will be no problems.

"Hey, my little ancestor, so you haven't eaten yet?!" Ding Xiaocong is a child after all, and the old village chief is distressed to death.

Ding Xiaocong was very moved, he didn't know what to say, so he had to smirk and scratch his head.

Village Chief Guo hurriedly pulled Ding Xiaocong into the crowd, asked someone to bring a bowl of rice, and then held a meeting on the spot. The content of the meeting is nothing more than not to be afraid, follow Master Shallot, and then each family immediately hands over the money.

Ding Xiaocong was eating while watching the adults busy, which was also interesting.

After eating, it was already dark, and Ding Xiaocong began to sum up with everyone. After today's day, he already has a complete plan, but this plan is not suitable for implementation at night, and he will have to wait until tomorrow day. As for tonight, he was going to lure the "water ghost" out to see, and the villagers had another task.

"I need rice, lots and lots of rice, huh...... At least three quintals. Ding Xiaocong put forward his own request.

Just now, Ding Xiaocong had promised that if he did what he said, he would definitely be able to get rid of the things in the water, and the villagers also trusted him, so they immediately moved under the arrangement of the old village chief.

Three quintals of rice is 300 catties, and it is 4-5 catties to each household, which is not a matter for the villagers at all, they are all grown by themselves, and the big guys immediately go home to scoop rice.

Ding Xiaocong left four or five strong men, and they were going to accompany Ding Xiaocong to the pond to protect them in secret.

This morning, Ding Xiaocong found that his ghost voice was attractive to things in the water, but it was just that the sky was about to dawn and there were too many people on the shore, so he was not hooked out.

There was a small forest between the village and the pond, and when he arrived here, Ding Xiaocong stopped and asked the big men who came with him to hide in the woods, and not to come out without his own instructions. At this time, the villagers didn't know what Ding Xiaocong was going to do, but they still obeyed his words and said that they would never go out easily.

With the assurance of these people, Ding Xiaocong walked to the pond alone, and in the night, his slightly thin figure looked so lonely.

"Erkongzi, Master Shallot is going to go down to the pond to take a bath?" A few people sat bored in the woods and chatted.

"No, I can't." Another person said, "Of course the mage is going to cast spells, let's just wait to open our eyes!" ”

"God, he's singing that song again......" Another man shuddered, and sure enough, there was a ghostly tune coming from the pond, melodious and lingering.

When I listened to it this morning, it was pretty good, after all, the sun was out, but it was the middle of the night, and it sounded particularly creepy, which made people feel ...... The feeling of unsteadiness is very uncomfortable.

The tune sounded, and several people stopped talking, all of them looked nervous, and kept scanning the surroundings, they felt that this tune would definitely attract ghosts! They guessed right, the ghost sound that echoed in the night for a long time would definitely summon all the spirits heard nearby, even the thing in the water.

Ding Xiaocong is now sitting on the ground not far from the pond, opening the witch's eyes with his eyes closed, humming ghost music with all his attention, and the strange tune seems to come from the primeval times, floating on the water.

The tone was not very mature at first, but as it was repeated over and over again, it became more and more flavorful and weird. At this time, if someone sees Ding Xiaocong's face, they will be surprised, his face is full of green qi now, he is like a ghost, and he can't see any anger at all.

From time to time, there was the sound of "gurgling" water, and I didn't know whether it was a fish, shrimp or a frog, jumping uneasily in the water, and it seemed that even they felt unusual.

The ghost sound continued, and after an hour, the few people in the forest were a little unbearable. Although it was night, the temperature was still very high during the dog days, and they should be sweating profusely when they hid in the woods, but they held their hands and shivered—it was cold!

This is a chill from the depths of the soul, it has nothing to do with the temperature, even if it is hot, they will feel cold, and wearing a padded jacket is completely useless.

Feeling this strange phenomenon, they looked at each other's pale faces, and the chill was even stronger, this is too exaggerated, right?

Not only them, but even in the villages further away, families are also closed, all the lights are on, and the family gathers together to listen carefully. The children hid in their mother's arms, their frightened eyes open, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

At the door of Village Chief Guo's house, the old couple was originally collecting the rice collected by the villagers, but now they all stopped what they were doing, and they were caught by this voice.

"Daddy...... Master Shallot is this going to exorcise ghosts, or to summon ghosts......" The wife said humbly.

"You know a fart, go home and watch your son!" Village Chief Guo waved his hand impatiently.

"Hey!" His wife hurriedly ran back to the house.

The entrance of the village, Ruxiang's house.

Rue Xiang and her daughter were probably the calmest people in the village, Rue Xiang Niang was sewing and mending under the lamp, and Rue Xiang was reading, but then they both stopped, listening to the ghost sound.

"This little guy is too godly." Rue Xiang Niang sincerely admired.

"Hmm!" Rue Xiang nodded, her eyes getting brighter and brighter, and a touch of red swelled up on her cheeks when she remembered the events of the day......
