In the evening, when I was about to go home, Uncle Liang returned, followed by the drunkard. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The drunkard had already been here in the middle of the afternoon. He asked me to borrow the magic weapon that Father Gui passed on to me, and told me about the situation, and said:

"I went to see it at noon, and our original judgment was wrong, this accident was not the work of the mandrill, but the water monster."

"Water monsters? What water monster? "I wondered. The matter of the mandrill is not over, but a water monster bursts out, is there a monster everywhere in this world?

"It was the water monster that caused this disaster. This monster is a water monkey. ”

I've heard of the water monkey, and there are many legends about it. Water monkeys are also called water ghosts or water ghosts. When he appeared, he looked like a monkey and a man, short in stature, and looked like a child of one or two years old from a distance. Legend has it that it is so good at changing that it likes to trick children into playing in the water, thus dragging people into the water and drowning.

We have an old saying here that "the eyes of a cow's feet can drown a man", which refers to the water monkeys. It is said that someone is passing by a certain place, he is extremely thirsty, there is no water nearby, and suddenly he sees a small pit on the side of the road that has been trampled down by a cow, and there is a small pit with water in it, this person is extremely surprised, and he is busy leaning over to drink, but he is drowned. According to my understanding, it may have been choked to death after drinking too quickly, but the adults are conclusive: there is no water nearby, where does this water come from? How deep are a cow's footprints? How much water can it hold? It was a water ghost, in order to tempt people to drink. Because the water ghost is born from water, its power is infinite, and its mana is boundless, but on land it is so vulnerable that even a three-year-old child can't beat it.

When I was a child, my grandmother used to tell me not to play in the water, especially not to pick up something floating on the water. The water monkeys will change into many toys or flowers that they like, and float on the water near the shore to lure people to pick them up, thus dragging people into the water and drowning.

"This is a water monkey that has become a spirit, very powerful, and can spew ecstasy smoke, those people should have hit its ecstasy smoke when the reservoir passed by, and then you were aware of the breath of death. It may be practicing some kind of evil art, otherwise it will not create such a big disaster, although they are ghosts and demons, they generally do not indiscriminately hurt people's lives, they are to make a mistake, and they are also alone, like this time, it is extremely rare to be mad and crazy to bring disaster to the world, it must be eliminated, otherwise it will definitely cause a greater disaster next time. ”

I was shocked and quickly asked, "Do you have any way to get rid of it?" ”

The drunkard groaned: "Because my master's home is by the river, he has dealt with water monsters, and he has passed me a set of methods, I will arrange it later, don't look at that thing, it is infinitely powerful in the water, and its mana is boundless, and when it comes to the shore, it is just an ordinary ghost, and it is vulnerable." It has a quirk, within twelve hours after each crime it has to confirm whether the prey is really dead, if someone is drowned and immediately salvaged out of the water and removed, it is not sure whether it is really dead, it will be very manic, feel that its credibility has been damaged, it will speed up the next crime to prove its ability. Therefore, the dead bodies that have only been drowned are usually put on the shore, and today it drowned six people at once, and it will be very proud, and it will definitely go ashore in the middle of the night to check it. It's at its most active every night. When I pass by night, I will slay it by the sword, and let it be gone, and it will be destroyed forever. “

"I'll go with you that night." I said excitedly.

The drunkard said, "Don't go, you won't be able to go." There must be militia guarding there at night, it's not appropriate for you to go, and you'll have to go back tonight with your mother. Don't you see your Guan Boniang's scared look? Your mother and your sister may be more afraid, and you have to go home to give them courage. But you have to borrow my money sword to use, and the magic weapon is in hand, so that it can be foolproof. ”

"Then I'll go with you now!"

The drunkard looked at me and smiled: "I think it's better to forget it, you're not afraid that your mother will know how to spank you, and I'm still afraid that your mother will scold!" ”

Yes! I really don't fit to be in that kind of place. Others were surprised at my boldness and it passed, but my mother knew that she was definitely going to spank me, even Uncle Liang and the drunkard would also complain. Although the mother is warm-hearted, bold and generous, she is also very spicy, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and ordinary people can't stand it when she starts a temper.

I went home alone to get the copper coin sword. In the yard, Zhou Limin was smoking brown silk and twisting brown ropes, my sister and Zhou Xiaoyan were playing kicking fields, my mother was not in the house, I took a copper coin sword and hid it in my arms, and returned to Uncle Liang's house.

"Oh, by the way, now it's okay, you can unblock the two people in the bed and wake them up."

Don't be wrong, a drunkard can't be wrong, not long after he left, my mother came with my sister and sister, and sure enough, she asked me to go home. My mother said to Guan Boniang, the New Year will be in a few days, my father will not come back until the New Year, these days to buy New Year's goods, a little busy, let me go home at night to sleep.

Uncle Guan knew that my mother was afraid, and it was bold to call me home, no matter how young I was, I was a man after all, and my mother also knew that I had learned something from Daddy Nan. Guan Boniang smiled and said to her mother:

"If you don't come, I'm going to let Hong Yanzi go back to sleep at night, Fan Liang and I will go to my mother's place for the New Year this year, everything is packed, we will leave on the twenty-third, go to the city for the New Year, and I will come back at the beginning of the year."

The two of them said a few homely words, muttered about today's murder, frightened and regretted, and sighed again and again.

My sister Xiaojing pulled me to accompany her to see Yanying. Yan Ying recognized his life, and he looked very fierce, and his sister was afraid and liked, and she dared to approach me every time she was by my side.

After my mother returned home, I went into the house and woke up the sleeping Aunt Liang and Liang Xiaogang.

I took off the rune paper on their foreheads, stretched out my hand and patted it in their respective hearts, the two of them slowly opened their eyes, stunned for a while, and then sat up and turned over to get out of bed, I scooped two bowls of water, burned the rune paper in the water and asked them to drink. Uncle Guan told them about today's events on the side, so frightened that the father and son looked at each other with pale faces, and sat on the stool for a long time without saying a word, until Uncle Liang came back, Aunt Liang regained her composure and stood up to inquire about the details.

While Uncle Liang and Uncle Liang were talking, the drunkard pulled me aside, saying that it was a matter of the drowning man's soul not being dispersed and the machine and boat not being able to tow it, so let me lend him the pig-killing knife that Daddy Nan passed to me.

Uncle Liang and I said hello to them, and led the drunkard home. When I left the courtyard gate, I looked back, and saw that Aunt Liang and Xiao Gang were looking at me in a daze, and Uncle Liang was talking about something next to me.

I went into our yard one after the other, Liu Limin had not finished work, he was pressing brown silk and brown ropes with stone slabs, sewing a coat for two days, and he was trying to rush to work.

Seeing the drunkard, Zhou Limin was busy greeting and saluting cigarettes, and his mother also came out to say hello when he heard the sound, and the drunkard smiled and said: "You are busy, I will pass by, and ask the red lady for some books and paper rolls and tobacco." "Follow me calmly into the back room.

I took out the shiny pig-killing knife and handed it to him, he wrapped it in waste book paper and put it in a small bag, and giggled and asked me to draw a few demon slaying talismans for him to spare.

I took out a brush and yellow paper, and while grinding cinnabar, I said to him, "I don't have much yellow paper here, do you know where to sell it?" ”

The things I use now are all left to me by Daddy Gui, and I really don't know where to buy them when I run out. The drunkard smiled: "You can get it at the cinnabar pharmacy, but it's really hard to get good yellow paper." Well, I still have some of these things hidden in my house, and I will bring them to you tomorrow when you go to my house. ”

I hummed yes. Dip the brush in cinnabar, concentrate on the energy, draw two demon smuggling charms and hand them to him, when he was packing up the paper and pen, his mother came in to call for dinner, and the drunkard was leaving, and his mother stopped him and said:

"I said, uncle, do you look down on me or do you think my food is poor? I have been married to Xinghua Village for more than ten years, and it is rare to be at home when I am prosperous, and this is the first time I have left you for dinner! This is not? It just so happens that Limin is helping my family sew clothes and weave palm mats today, I know that you love to drink, with him with you, although you drink openly, this is finally okay, right? ”

The drunkard laughed and said: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are polite, I am a delicious leper customer, and I can't walk even more when I hear that there is wine...... Hehe......"
