There are legends about water ghosts in almost every place and country, but Ding Xiaocong has never seen them, and Professor Mi did not introduce them at the beginning. After all, it's only ten days, and there are so many things to teach that it's impossible to cover everything.

Ding Xiaocong judged that the so-called water ghost should be a combination of unjust souls and animals, as for the way of combination, he did not know, according to legend, this thing is the aggregation of the unjust souls of the drowned, and dragged people into the water to drown out of instinct, which is also in line with the symptoms of Ruexiang.

After hearing the name "water ghost", the villagers were panicked, and the discussion became louder and louder, which soon made Ding Xiaocong unable to think.

"Village chief, this matter must be resolved, otherwise the babies will not be able to live in peace." Some villagers proposed to the village chief, and everyone immediately agreed.

There is only one pond in the village, where drinking water and washing are usually done, and there are many children in the village.

Things have to be solved, but how? Almost at the same time, everyone's eyes fell on Ding Xiaocong, isn't this a ready-made mage.

"Little master, look at ......" The village chief looked embarrassed, and stopped talking. Anyway, Ding Xiaocong is just a half-old child, and he doesn't look sophisticated, he was tired last night, and it's really hard to toss people anymore.

Ding Xiaocong was not thinking about whether he was tired or not, he was carefully looking at this pond, and he didn't hear what Village Chief Guo said at all.

The pond is close to the foot of the mountain, about more than 100 meters square, it is an irregular rectangle, because there is live water from the mountain to replenish, the water quality is very clear, the edge part can see the pebbles at the bottom of the river, the middle is deep, the black hole is hollow.

He has no experience in dealing with the water ghost Ding Xiaocong, but he knows that the evil creatures of this level are much beyond him, and with his own strength, it is impossible to fight at all, and if he doesn't do it, he has to take his life.

“2000…… What do you think? ”

A weak voice came from beside him, interrupting Ding Xiaocong's thoughts, "What? ”

Immediately, Ding Xiaocong understood, this is the price, 2,000 yuan! "It's done!"

Ding Xiaocong blurted out without thinking, and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good!" The old village chief patted his thigh, "That's it, the little master has agreed, as the village chief, I will take the lead in this matter, make money according to the head, don't push any of them, otherwise don't blame me for taking someone to your house to dismantle the door beam!" ”

Village Chief Guo usually looks honest, but now he has a domineering style, and the villagers nodded "yes" again and again, and no one dared to make a discordant sound.

The village chief is not a state cadre, but is elected by the villagers, and is generally a highly respected person of the same clan, and such a person naturally has a high prestige in the village. Besides, it's only 2,000 yuan, and there is not much money to be distributed to individuals, and no one will offend the public for this small amount of money.

"Little ......"

"Just call me shallots......" Ding Xiaocong was shouted uncomfortably, and hurriedly corrected it.

"Master Shallot, what are you going to do? If you want people and things, just say. The village chief patted his chest and said.

Ding Xiaocong thought for a while and said, "I definitely won't be able to draw it during the day, I want to wait until the night to do it." ”

Evil things are afraid of the sun, no matter what the condition of this water ghost is, it will definitely not go ashore during the day, and you can't go into the water to catch it, right? This pond is alive, and it is completely impossible to drain it and catch it, so you can only wait for the night, the above is Ding Xiaocong's preliminary judgment.

Village Chief Guo nodded, waved his hand to the crowd, and shouted: "Everyone disperse first, gather at the old cooperative at noon, everyone brings money, and no one is allowed to disgrace our village!" ”

After the words of the old village chief, the villagers gradually dispersed and went home to prepare.

"Master shallots, let's go to my house for dinner." After waiting for the others to leave, Village Chief Guo said politely.

Ding Xiaocong thought about it and nodded, he might need a lot of people to help at night, so it would be more convenient to stay at the village chief's house. At that moment, the village chief Guo and his wife held their son and led Ding Xiaocong to the center of the village, leaving only Ruxiang's mother and daughter in the same place.

"This young man is good, honest and capable." Rue Xiangniang looked at Ding Xiaocong's back and muttered to herself.

"Mom, what did you say?" Rue Xiang asked with a puzzled expression.

Yun Xiangniang was startled, hurriedly changed the topic, carried her daughter home, and whispered all the way: "You are going to study in the city, so far away from home, my mother can't take care of you, if only there were relatives and friends in the city......"

"Mom, it's okay, I can take care of myself......" Rue Xiang seemed to understand something, and her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, and her face turned red.

@@@@

"Oops!" Ding Xiaocong sat on a chair at the door of Village Chief Guo's house, rubbed his hot ears, woke up suddenly, and blurted out exclaim. He was tempted by 2,000 yuan just now, and he agreed to someone without thinking about it, and now he remembered that if he didn't go back tonight, but it was the second night, his parents would never agree, and the question would be over.

"Master shallots, what's wrong?!" Village Chief Guo, who was accompanying him, was taken aback and thought something was wrong.

"It's okay, I'll make a call." Ding Xiaocong waved his hands in a panic, took out the phone and ran away.

Looking at Ding Xiaocong's somewhat embarrassed back, Village Chief Guo sighed, "This is still a half-grown man!" ”

"Hey, Mom." Ding Xiaocong dialed the phone while running, and hurriedly explained (lying): "He is alone in the Dahai family, he is afraid, let me accompany him for another night......"

As soon as he said this, Ding Xiaocong's heart hung up, because of nervousness, his voice was obviously a little fluttering, but don't be heard. In Ding Xiaocong's impression, his father was more shrewd, and his mother blindly believed him, so he dialed his mother's phone this time.

It may be that Ding Xiaocong's strategy is appropriate, after his mother Gao Qun heard his explanation, she didn't mean to blame at all, and said softly: "It's okay, you can sleep in the sea house tonight, and when you come back tomorrow, tell your father and ask him to pick you up." ”

"Whoa!" Ding Xiaocong breathed a sigh of relief, said a few more casual words, and hung up the phone in a hurry, he still understood the truth that if you say too much, you will lose. He secretly rejoiced, when did his parents become so easy to talk? If it's like before, it's definitely not going to pass.

Probably busy preparing for trading, Ding Xiaocong thought so, and didn't take it to heart.

At the same time, at the Ding family, Gao Qun put down the phone, turned his head with a sad face and said, "It was Xiao Shallot who called, and he said that he wanted to play at Luo Daoming's house." ”

"That's good." Ding Jiazhu, who was sitting next to him, viciously snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe in evil, what kind of leather treasure, as long as he dares to enter this door, I will keep him sideways, and he may not go out!" ”

With a "bang", Ding Jiazhu put a two-foot-long water pipe pliers on the coffee table, making a loud noise.

If Ding Xiaocong was here, he would be surprised, he wouldn't have seen him for two days, Ding Jiazhu, who was originally very particular about appearance, seemed to have changed as a person, with messy hair, unshaven beard, red eyes, sallow face, and horizontal nose and vertical eyes like a door god. The ashtray in front of him was stuffed with cigarette butts, which had taken on a perfect chrysanthemum shape, and no one had the heart to pour it......
