Mr. Lu said: "These people really deserve to be punished, but it seems that their crimes do not lead to death. After all, it was a few lives, so they were killed in such a hasty way. It seems a bit excessive. ”

The little girl raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it too much?" When these fishermen catch fish, don't they catch thousands of fish and harm thousands of lives? If they have to pay for their lives, I don't know how many times they have died. I have been very merciful to them like this. ”

Mr. Lu coughed dryly, and said hesitantly: "This human life is ...... with the life of the fish" Mr. Lu probably wanted to say that human life is expensive, and fish life is cheap. However, he probably found it a little difficult to say this, so he kept silent.

But the little girl didn't intend to let him go, and said aggressively: "I heard from people who eat fasting and recite Buddha. All beings are equal. Since all beings are equal, human life is life, how can the life of a fish not be life? ”

Mr. Lu laughed dryly twice and said, "I am a Taoist priest. Not a monk. ”

This answer was a scoundrel, but it finally blocked the little girl's mouth.

The little girl snorted, and said no more.

I said, "Because you killed these people." So the gods locked you up in this place? ”

When the little girl heard me ask, she reopened the conversation, and she said, "That's not it, what is it to kill a few people?" Aren't you living people okay to kill a few people for fun? ”

I grinned and said, "Who do you listen to say that if a living person is fine, kill a few people to play?" ”

The little girl said confidently, "I saw it with my own eyes." There is a small village next to the Fish Temple. There is a man named Huang Er in the village who steals other people's wives. As a result, he was caught. The man was angry and beat Huang Er to death. Later, a few people in green clothes came and killed Huang Er. I was dazzled by it. ”

I laughed dryly and said, "These are all things for a reason, and they are not casual killings." ”

The little girl snorted, apparently not understanding. It is estimated that in her opinion, the world kills each other, like fish in the river. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp, rightfully so.

The little girl continued, "Ever since I capsized the boat and killed the fishermen. The incense in the fish temple suddenly got better. It turned out that these fishermen proudly told others about the dream of me. As a result, they died the next day. Everyone says that the fish temple has spirits. So they burned incense and kowtowed. There are those who seek officials, those who seek wealth, and those who seek heirs. Not the most, though. Or begging to go fishing and return with a full load. After all, this place is next to the river, and there are the most fishermen. ”

At this, the little girl suddenly laughed, and she said to me, "Sometimes I think you are a little stupid for the living. The fish god, the fish god, I, the fairy, are naturally a fish. He actually begged me to bless him to catch more fish and kill more fish. Isn't that funny? ”

I laughed dryly twice and said, "yes, it's kind of funny." ”

The little girl said, "I have no power to stop them from catching fish and eating fish." And you can't get all the fishermen into the river and drown. Then I came up with a solution. If you living eat fish, then I will eat the living. In this way, it is fair for the two debts to be offset. ”

I thought to myself, "So you two eat the living, and you come from here." ”

The little girl said: "I give a dream to the villagers and tell them that if you want the wind and rain to be smooth, then you must worship one person every year. Otherwise, I will let them go out of the boat once, and one person will die, and the next time the net will be empty. Naturally, these fishermen are terrified. So he said yes to me. ”

I glared and said, "It's so simple, I promised you?" ”

The little girl said, "Yes." At that time, there was an old beggar with a small child, begging for food along the street. Then the villagers said, "You have been eating our hundred family meals for a few years." This child was raised by us. Now that he can be used, it's time for him to repay the favor. Then he took the child away and put him in the fish temple. ”

Speaking of this, the little girl actually drooled, she stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, and looked at me with bright eyes: "The taste of human flesh is really not bad." ”

I shuddered and said with a dry smile, "And then? How did you meet the gods? ”

The little girl sighed and said, "Later, beggars from a radius of a hundred miles will not dare to come here. So the villagers began to raise money to buy children from traffickers. Buy one a year and put it inside the temple. Later, when the traffickers heard that the villagers had bought the children instead of raising them, they gave them to the gods to eat, and they refused to do business with them. It turns out that these traffickers are also afraid of going to hell after they die. ”

I thought to myself, "They have already sinned so badly by selling their children, and are they still worried about going to hell when they die?" ”

The little girl said, "That year, when it was time to worship the children, the village was not ready. There happened to be a family whose child was somewhat disabled, so the whole village voted and sent the child to the temple. ”

"The next year, when there were children in the village, they all gave them away. The village chief beat gongs and drums in the village, begging grandpa to tell grandma, but no one would take his children back and put them in the temple. Actually, I never said I wanted to eat children, even adults were okay. However, these adults refused to go. ”

A few days later, the fishermen came out again. Hehe, I'll show them how good I am. ”

The little girl sighed: "Since then, I have completely torn my face with the villagers. These villagers no longer worship children, and in fact, there is nothing left to worship. They began to ask Taoist priests to come and catch me. Those Taoist priests, some of whom had some skills, I hid in the river, and some of them cheated money, so I used them as snacks. ”

"Until one year, the gods passed by here, and heard that there were fish gods in this place, which disturbed the neighbors, so they took us in."

I thought to myself, "What the villagers said must be the fish demon, but in your mouth, you will become a fish god." ”

The little girl said, "The ability of the gods is too strong, and the two of us have no way to resist it. The fairy asked me, why did you kill the villagers? ”

"Although the two of us were afraid, we thought to ourselves, we are fish gods, you don't know what gods. Everyone is a god and should be on an equal footing. So it stands to reason that people can eat fish, why can't fish eat people? ”

After hearing this, the fairy actually nodded again and again, saying that it was very reasonable.

I always thought that the fairy would administer justice, but I didn't expect this fairy to actually approve of the little girl's statement, and I couldn't help but be surprised. Demon blood.

I said to the little girl, "If the fairy thinks what you say makes sense, why did he lock you up here?" ”

The little girl sighed and said, "The fairy also said that fishermen fish to support their families, and if they don't fish, they can't live, and as for their guilt, it will be decided by the people who have the underworld." And the two of us, first killed the beggar's children, and then killed the children bought from other places, and these children were not fishermen at all. We kill people purely for fun, not even revenge. ”

So the gods brought us to this place and said that we should also be fishermen, and when we knew that we were wrong, he would let us out. When we first arrived, the fish were alive, but then we ate less and less, and they didn't seem to have much fertility, so all that was left was the bones. But even though the fish are gone, we still have to be like fishermen, holding the boat to fish every day. ”

When the little girl said this, she sang the words again: "Cast the net lightly, pull the rope tightly, and wait for the fish in the smoke." Fish are difficult to catch, boats are heavily rented, and fishermen are poor. The broken fishing net left by grandpa, be careful to rely on it for another winter. ”

She sang for a while, and then said, "I learned this song from the fishermen by the river. The two of us are going to be fishermen now. Every day, I am hungry, hoping to catch a fish or two from the ghost lake to satisfy my stomach. At this time, where is the heart to love the same kind? I just want to eat enough. But these fish are very bad. The body is dead, but the soul does not go, but attaches itself to the bones, and jumps back and forth as if it were a live fish, and when you bring them into the net, you find that they are just fish bones. ”
