Chapter 17: The Invisible Water Ghost
After explaining the matter, the elders of the preparatory system had their own affairs to worry about, and the dragon spirit left the council hall.
He wandered around the village, looking around and wondering if he could improve the invention when he saw something.
I didn't go far when I saw Cang Jizi chasing after him from behind and shouting, "Dragon Spirit, wait." ”
The dragon spirit said angrily: "You still dare to come!" ”
Cang Jizi stopped a dozen steps away, raised the meat in his hand and said, "You forgot to take your meat." ”
The dragon spirit glared at him angrily and didn't speak, Cang Jizi laughed and said, "Dragon spirit, I was wrong about that matter, I apologize to you." You see, I've worked so hard to help you bring the meat, so let's even if it's even, okay? ”
"Give me the meat." Long Jing said with a cold face.
Cang Jizi walked over cautiously, handed the meat in one hand to Long Jing and said, "Either my meat will give you half of it, which will be regarded as compensation, and you must not beat me." ”
"Boom!"
"Oops!"
The dragon spirit slammed on his head with a shudder, and Cang Jizi held his head and inhaled the cold air, and tears flowed out.
"Humph! You kid just owe a beating! The dragon spirit scolded, picked up the meat and left.
Cang Jizi hurriedly rubbed his head and followed, and said in his mouth: "Alas, where are you going?" Let's go to your house and eat barbecue. ”
The dragon spirit ignored him and continued walking, and soon came to a dwelling place near the water.
More than a dozen families live here, all built close to the water, with several canoes floating on the calm river below.
A group of villagers were moving, there were people in the water on the trees, and men, women and children were laughing constantly.
Long Jing took a closer look and recognized that one of the pregnant women was the fourth lady of Gouxian, and only then did he know that he had arrived at the settlement of the Gou family.
The Gou family is good at fishing, so they live close to the water.
Seeing Long Jing coming, the Gou family greeted him with sincerity and fear, and Long Jing also responded with a kind attitude. This was the first time he came to the territory of the Gou family, and the Gou family respected him very much, so the dragon spirit stopped and chatted with the Gou family.
Hook Gong has not come back, some of the young men have gone out to fish, some have gone to the pig's house, only the old and weak women and children are at home, and the old man who received him is an old man.
After talking with the old man for a while, the dragon spirit learned that the ancestors of the Gou family had encountered the Soul Eater Water Demon in the Great Lake, and was almost dismembered, and was later rescued by the dragon god, so their clan believed in the dragon god so devoutly.
Long Jing listened to him tell the scene at that time, and saw a group of women carrying strings of big fish up and down, and the wife of Gou Xiansi stood in the water with a big belly to wash the fish, and couldn't help but feel that the aborigines were solid.
At this time, I saw Cang Jizi, who was eating a lot on the side, suddenly put down the grilled fish in his hand, and said in surprise: "I saw a big fish swimming towards them in the water." ”
"Big fish? Where? The dragon spirit stretched his neck curiously to look, but he didn't see anything, and the old man also said that he didn't see it.
"There, the size of a man, are you blind?" Cang Jizi shouted loudly.
The dragon spirit blinked vigorously, but still didn't see anything.
Cang Jizi felt that he was deliberately pretending not to see, pointed to the water below, and shouted angrily: "That, that, that!" Just swim around them. Eh, no, how do you look like a person? ”
His face suddenly changed, his body shrank, and his voice trembled, "It saw me!" It, it, it...... It's arresting! ”
As soon as Cang Jizi's words fell, he heard a scream, and Gou Xiansi's wife fell into the water, struggling desperately with her hands and feet, but she couldn't get up.
The women around her tried to go over to help her, but saw her move quickly under the water as if she was being dragged by a large shark, straight into the depths of the forest.
The dragon spirit was startled and quickly rushed to the edge of the platform, and a fish leaped into the water, just in front of the moving splash. Ignoring the danger, he pounced on the fit and hugged the woman in the water, pulling up with all his might.
He didn't know what the underwater thing was, but he felt that the pull of the thing was very strong, dragging the two of them and moving forward quickly. The surface of the water was very clear, but I couldn't see what it was, and there was only a shadow slightly darker than the water in front of me.
"Why can't I see it?" With all his might, the dragon spirit finally managed to get the woman's head to the surface of the water.
He reached out and touched the water for a while, as if some mucus was attached to the woman. When I touched it again, when I touched the woman's ankle, my heart was shocked - it was a big hand!
"What the hell?"
The dragon spirit was a little flustered and kicked hard at that hand. It was as elastic as kicking rubber, and after several kicks, the hand finally let go, and the two of them immediately stopped moving forward.
The dragon spirit hurriedly dragged the woman to the water's edge, and as soon as she swam a short distance, she heard Cang Jizi on the tree shout, "That thing is swimming towards you again!" On the right-hand side, be careful, it's here! ”
"Rub 'your' big 'master'!" The dragon spirit was furious, standing in front of the woman, staring intently at the barely discernible shadow.
Seeing that it swam quickly, it kicked over again, but it felt like it had not touched anything, because the water splashed and the water surface fluctuated, and there was no trace of the thing.
"It scattered, and it wrapped itself around that sister again." Cang Jizi shouted again.
The dragon spirit turned around and grabbed the woman, and was not dragged away anymore, but saw that the mucus on the woman's body was getting more and more, as if it had been pasted by colorless oil.
He wiped it with his hand a few times, but it was difficult to wipe it off, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to drag the woman to swim to the water's edge.
Finally reached the shallow water, the dragon spirit picked up the woman, and saw that the colorless mucus on her body flowed down with the water, and there was nothing left in an instant.
"What a weird thing." The dragon was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay in the water for long, and hurriedly carried the woman to the platform.
Everyone rushed over to rescue, and after the woman spit a few mouthfuls of water, she quickly came to her senses and cried in shock and fear.
Seeing that she was fine, Long Jing relaxed and sat back to rest and gasp.
The Gou family came over to thank him, and the old man of the Gou family said excitedly: "If it weren't for the dragon son to come to the rescue, my woman would probably have died." “
The fourth lady of Gouxian was about to kowtow, but Long Jing hurriedly supported her and said: "You are pregnant, don't bow down, I am the only young man here, I should save you, and it is the same for someone else." ”
The colluding old man shook his head and said, "No one can save the person who was dragged into the water by the invisible water ghost." Only you, the dragon, can save people from the invisible water ghosts. ”
"That thing called the Invisible Water Ghost?" The dragon spirit had never heard of such a strange creature, and asked, "Does it often haunt the village and harm people?" ”
The old man said: "The jungle is full of water ghosts, but they don't harm many people. ”
"Invisible water ghosts only harm young children and pregnant women, and since the establishment of the village, there have been less than ten times when water ghosts have harmed people."
Although the dragon spirit had close contact with the invisible water ghost, he still couldn't figure out what it was, and asked, "What is this thing?" ”
"A water ghost is a water ghost, it's invisible, and no one has ever seen it before."
The old man stared at Cang Jizi in surprise and said: "I never expected Cang Jizi to be able to see it, it seems that what the great wizard said is right, this son is indeed from an extraordinary background." ”
The dragon spirit turned his head to look and saw Cang Jizi's face pale and roasting on fire, so he patted him on the shoulder and asked, "You tell me about the appearance of that thing carefully." ”
Cang Jizi looked overly frightened and said: "It looks like a person, with long claws, a large mouth, and very sharp teeth. ”
"It could detect that I saw it, and its eyes glowed green, and when it looked at me, I felt chills all over my body, and my heart was troubled, like being burrowed into the body by a poisonous worm."
The more the dragon spirit listened, the more mysterious it became, that thing was mysterious, and Cang Jizi's ability was even more mysterious.
He is accustomed to analyzing problems with scientific thinking, and he also believes that science can explain all mysterious things, but this time he has no clue.
