Chapter 45: The Man in the Water
He has been doing the profession of water ghost for more than 30 years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I haven't seen a monster in the water. But this encounter made his little heart almost unbearable.
Because the water flow in the nearby area is relatively slow, and the sun comes out and the light is abundant, you can see the bottom of the river clearly as long as you dive a little. At this time, the water ghost saw that the bottom of the water was full of water evil. The water is so distorted that he can't even make out his appearance. One by one, they raised their heads and stretched their hands upward, as if to take someone down.
The water ghost returned to the surface and told the villagers about the situation, which frightened everyone, which was an unprecedented event. Some people with bad hearts were directly frightened.
In the end, the water ghost fished out twenty-one corpses under the water, and he did all the exorcism before the villagers called the police to deal with them. What surprised Ah Hua the most was that among the twenty-one corpses, judging from their body shape and clothing, there were three corpses that were fish sellers, chicken brothers, and pork Rong. Ah Hua was very puzzled, could it be that the fish seller fell into the water again after he got on the boat last night? Who was the man who put the rope ladder down? Could it be pork Rong? Why didn't they save him last night? There are so many mysteries in this.
Later, the water ghost told Ah Hua that it might not be a person who threw the rope ladder down the boat, but it might be a water evil. The water brake was on the boat at that time. But that's for later.
Of the remaining eighteen corpses, seventeen were from the group of outsiders camping by the river. In other words, none of the people survived, and all of them died. The rest of the body was unrecognizable.
"Couldn't the rest of the corpse be the group of people camping by the river? How do you know that there are only seventeen of them? Ah Hua asked.
"I heard from the village chief about this, the first day that the group of people camped by the river, the village chief took a few people to them to plan to drive them away!" The water ghost said, "Because the edge of the Lion Ocean has never been peaceful, and the village chief is all for their good." But after the group talked to the village chief, the village chief didn't ask them about it again!
Until late one night a few days ago, one of the outsiders handed over a locked iron box to the village chief. He said that there were records of the condition of 17 of them, and asked the village chief to help them keep them, and if something happened to them, let the village chief deliver the iron box to the address he specified. That's why we're so sure that there were only seventeen outsiders. But the extra body is still unrecognizable. The preliminary judgment is that it is possible that the villagers of the upstream village drowned and floated to us, and they turned into water together. ā
"Will those outsiders know that they have become water evil?" Ah Hua asked.
"I don't know!"
"Twenty-one water demons were found, this is a big deal!"
The water ghost took a puff of his cigarette and said, "The village cadres are still discussing with the local police station, and they want to cover up the matter and don't want their superiors to know." Because there were so many deaths in one time, the village cadres and the person in charge of the local police station had to be held accountable. But no one can afford to do that.
And if the news of more than a dozen water demons in the team soil village spreads, no one will be willing to come to our village again. After that, the man will not be able to marry a wife, and the woman will not be able to marry. So it is estimated that the villagers will also be very cooperative in keeping this secret! You have to keep this secret well, or you will bear the consequences. But that's fine! You're going to die soon, anyway! "The water ghost said the last sentence so plainly.
But these words frightened Ah Hua, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with me?" Are the people of the village going to kill me? ā
The water ghost shook his head, and still said very calmly: "Those cadres are too timid, they just don't dare to take responsibility, how dare they kill people and set fires!" He said this as if he dared to kill people and set fires, and was about to kill Ah Hua. Ah Hua stared at the water ghost tightly and unconsciously moved back, ready to run away at any time.
"That'...... So who's going to kill me? ā
"River Demon!" The water ghost said, "You were entangled by the river demon last night, and I tried to help you do the exorcism, but it was unsuccessful. The previous generation of water ghosts has passed away, and now I can't do anything about it. Sooner or later, you'll become a water wreck! Unless you become a water ghost and believe in the ghost king, you may still have a chance to live. ā
Ah Hua didn't believe in these water ghosts or water demons at first, but after last night's incident, he saw those people with distorted faces standing under the river, and he began to doubt his faith.
"I shouldn't believe it judging by your expression, but it doesn't matter, your life has nothing to do with me anyway!"
The water ghost didn't say anything else to Ah Hua, and Ah Hua also went back. After that, Ah Hua experienced a lot of weird and terrifying things, and almost killed him a few times, and Ah Hua gradually began to believe it. In the end, he went to the water ghost to apprentice.
Because the water ghost is the guardian of the village's history, the villagers were initially opposed to letting a person with a foreign surname be a water ghost, but because the water ghost cannot have offspring, and this industry is a cursed industry, no one in modern times wants to be it. In the end, the villagers agreed to let Ah Hua be a water ghost.
"How can there be twenty-one people standing under the water!" Fei Bao said, "Your water blowing skills are weak." ā
"I saw it with my own eyes!" Ah Hua said, "And the older generation can testify!" ā
"We did all the information about the village before we came. Didn't find the report that you said that more than two dozen people died more than ten years ago! Qixing looked at Ah Hua tightly with sharp eyes and said, "Can the neighborhood committee have that much ability?" Or there is someone in the background, and this person is artificially high-powered. Or you're lying! ā
As soon as Qixing's words came out, all of us looked at Ah Hua with questioning eyes. But in the face of our gaze, he is still so calm.
"It's the first reason!" Ah Hua said, "At that time, the son of the village chief was an official in the central government, and his position was not small, so the village cadres used the power of the village chief's son to cover up the matter!" ā
"Why should I believe you!" Qixing said.
"You can choose not to believe it! And no matter how capable your department is, it's impossible to find anything! Because all the materials handed in are ruined! "Moreover, it is impossible to find witnesses." Because the witnesses back then were also the masterminds of covering up that incident. They are all accomplices, and it is impossible for them to tell you the truth of their crimes! ā
"What about you? Why are you telling us about things! ā
Ah Hua took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I said it just now, because I saw your determination and ability!" ā
The wolf said, "Is there a relationship between determination and ability, what you said, what we investigated?" ā
On the surface, Ah Hua's story does not have anything to do with our investigation, but I vaguely speculate on some clues, but I am not sure and need to be further confirmed. I frowned slightly, sorting out the clues that were starting to pick up.
"You're not looking for artifacts!" "I'm looking for something!" ā
My train of thought was suddenly interrupted by Ah Hua's words, and I thought to myself: No! Did you know we're looking for a bundle of gods? What the hell is this man coming from?
