Chapter 18: The Ghost of the Pond

As soon as he went out, the boy's hoarse shout was faintly heard from the east end of the village, and Ding Xiaocong was even more anxious. Behind them, Rue Xiang's mother and son also followed, supporting each other, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The people in the countryside are united, a village is like a family, and no one will watch if there is something big or not.

Ruxiang's house is in the west of the village, you can hear it here, and the whole village can naturally hear it, and when Ding Xiaocong arrived, there was already a large group of people around the pond. At this time, the sky was bright, and the onlookers saw Ding Xiaocong and the village chief coming, and hurriedly got out of the way.

After last night's incident, Ding Xiaocong became famous in this village, and everyone knew that there was a young mage in the village who was only a teenager, and his ability was great!

The crowd parted, and Ding Xiaocong saw several big men in the center pressing a boy, looking anxiously over this side. Gensheng is only 12 years old, and he is pressed like this by several adults, and it won't take long for him to suffocate.

Ding Xiaocong walked over quickly, only to see that the boy was born with a tiger's head, his skin was tanned by the sun, and he looked very healthy. He was pressed face down, his face pressed to the ground, he still roared to himself, and the most conspicuous thing was that his legs and ankles were together, and they were wrapped so many times that they looked like they had been bolted up by hand.

"Nope! That's what it was tied on! Ding Xiaocong was stunned for a moment, reacted, squatted down and dialed the aquatic plants to observe carefully. I saw that the aquatic plants wrapped around the legs were coiled and intertwined, and the direction was very regular, and the natural winding would never be like this.

"Little ...... Master, let's see what's wrong with my son. Village Chief Guo urged on the side, after such a while, his family's face was purple.

Ding Xiaocong nodded, hurriedly closed his eyes, opened his witch eyes to observe, and after looking at it, he breathed a sigh of relief, there was nothing evil lingering, the child was just frightened. To put it bluntly, this is mania after overfright, and it may be a big deal in the hospital, which is a small meaning for him.

Ding Xiaocong reached out a hand and pressed it on the back of the little boy's head, rubbing it gently, and began to hum a very strange tune in his throat. The voice was indescribable, it felt eerie, and the most peculiar thing was that it was pronounced both inhaling and exhaling, and the melody was continuous, and the words seemed to be sung out of his mouth, but no one could understand them.

In fact, Ding Xiaocong couldn't understand it, this was the "ghost sound" given to him by Professor Mi, and he could use his voice to move his soul. When he first taught this to him, Professor Mi was very solemn, saying that this was a symbol of "ghosts and witches", and it was also a natal supernatural power, but in Mi Xiaojing's opinion, although this thing does have some effect on the soul, it is not very obvious, and it doesn't seem to be so godly.

Of course, that was before, and the current Ding Xiaocong no longer dared to have the slightest doubt about his master, as for this ghost sound that is not very effective now, it is probably because of his lack of cultivation.

Although the role is limited, there is no problem in soothing a restrained child.

The ghost sound fluttered out, and with the vibration of Ding Xiaocong's hand, the little boy's screams became smaller and smaller, his tense body gradually softened, and his mood gradually stabilized. The adults around who heard the ghost sound didn't react so much, but after listening to it for a long time, they felt a little dizzy, and some women who were in poor health actually retched.

Ding Xiaocong didn't know that after the ghost sound was cultivated to the extreme, it could directly call out people's souls.

Touching and touching, Gensheng finally stopped struggling completely, closed his eyes, breathed steadily, and heard a rhythmic fine snoring, and actually fell asleep.

"It's okay, just get some sleep, maybe be timid for a while." Ding Xiaocong withdrew his hand and moved his somewhat stiff wrist, he was still a half-old child, and he didn't understand the rules on the rivers and lakes, and what he said was not exaggerated at all.

"Thank you, thank you!" Village Chief Guo and his wife thanked them again and again, and prepared to hug their son.

At this moment, there was a "poof" sound in the pond, Ding Xiaocong suddenly stood up and went over there, only to see a splash on the surface of the pond, but he didn't see what it was.

"What a big fish!" Some villagers exclaimed, apparently a master who is good at catching fish and touching shrimp, "I didn't expect such a big fish in the pond, I went back and caught it with my net." ”

Seeing that the child was fine, the big guys relaxed, but Ding Xiaocong kept frowning and watching the water surface where the splash gradually subsided.

"Wait!" Finding out that the village chief was going to take the child away, Ding Xiaocong hurriedly stopped him, "Let me see it first." ”

Village Chief Guo was inexplicable, but he still sat on the ground as he said, hugged Genshengheng in his arms, and let Ding Xiaocong check it.

At this time, Gensheng was sleeping like a baby, his soul was coaxed to sleep by Ding Xiaocong, this sleep state was extremely deep, and he would never dream, he didn't sleep for 12 hours this night, and there was basically no possibility of waking up.

Under the attention of everyone, Ding Xiaocong squatted down again and began to unwrap the aquatic plants on the ankles of the roots layer by layer.

This aquatic plant is called Tho grass, and it has a tender green stem and is extremely strong. Ding Xiaocong's movements were very slow and careful, and he was not in a hurry.

As the onlookers watched, many of their faces began to change, and they also realized that this was not the form that naturally entangles during swimming. Of course, Village Chief Guo was not stupid, and at this time he also understood what Ding Xiaocong meant, and his face became ugly.

"Is it true that someone wants to kill his own son?" Village Chief Guo showed a touch of anger on his face, and then he was confused, the relationship between the people in the village is very good, and he has never had a grudge against anyone, who would do such a hurtful thing?

"Little master, this is what people did, right?" A villager couldn't help but ask, don't look at the fact that there are so many adults present, they all worship Ding Xiaocong as a god now.

"Not necessarily, let's see." Ding Xiaocong waved his hand, and finally completely untied the aquatic weeds.

Seeing Xiao Gensheng's ankle that was originally entangled in aquatic plants, there was an uproar at the scene, and people began to talk about it uncontrollably, only to see that there were three blood marks on Gensheng's left ankle, extending from the bottom of the calf to the heel, which was shocking. After soaking in the water for a long time, it no longer bleeds, and the wound turned to both sides, glowing a miserable white.

Obviously, it was a scratch, but it was not a human scratch. Ding Xiaocong gestured with his hand and came to the conclusion that a human hand would not be so small, and in addition, the wound was like being cut out by a sharp claw, which was very different from a person's fingernails.

"Little master, what is this?!" Village Chief Guo asked with a nervous face.

Ding Xiaocong was silent for a while, then turned his head and asked Ruxiang who came along, "How did you have an accident that day, can you still remember?" ”

Although the sun had already risen, Rue Xiang was still frightened and pale, her lips were bloodless, and she thought about it and replied: "That night was also night, I was washing clothes in the water port, washing and washing the mallet and bleaching, I went to fish, who knew that I hadn't caught it yet, and suddenly a hairy hand stretched out in the water, grabbed the mallet and brought it to the bottom of the water, I was frightened, so I ran back, and I didn't know anything while running......"

Ding Xiaocong nodded when he heard this, and a legendary thing came to his mind - water ghosts!
