Hou Bin and Lao Fei choked on several mouthfuls of water, and they were frightened, and they were already a little dazed at this time. They didn't know who the man who had pulled them up was, but they felt that after they had been pulled up, they had been put on the shore, and the man had left.

When the two of them opened their eyes, when the sky was almost completely dark, the two only saw the back of a man walking in the direction of the water.

At this time, they realized that the monkey had not come out of the water, and it seemed that this person should have gone to save the monkey. But who is this person, judging from the back, this man can probably look like he is in his fifties. It doesn't look like the second uncle, and the second uncle can't suddenly appear in this situation, so who is this person? Both of them were wondering who this person really was at this time.

It is said that this person has been in for a short time, and there is no human figure on the water at all, but he sees that the water surface is not so calm, and there seems to be some unknown situation underwater. While the two of them were worried about the monkey and the old man who suddenly appeared, they heard a commotion in the water, and then the old man came out of the water with the monkey in his arms.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly ran forward two steps, not wanting the old man to shout, "Don't come here." ”

After hearing this, the two subconsciously took two steps back, and when the old man carried the monkey ashore, they found that the monkey had fainted at this time and was completely unconscious.

Hou Bin asked the old man worriedly: "Uncle, how is he, will there be anything?" Hou Bin pointed to the monkey and asked while looking at the old man in front of him who rescued him, it didn't matter, I saw that the old man had a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and he was dressed more sloppily, the more Hou Bin looked at the old man, the more he felt that something was wrong, how did he think that this old man was so familiar, it seemed that he had seen it somewhere.

But at this time, I was more worried about the monkey, so I didn't think much about it.

After hearing this, the old man said with a painful expression: "No, it's okay, it's just a few more sips of water." You, you hurry up and get out of here. Seeing the old man's expression when he spoke, Hou Bin saw that the old man's back was grabbed by something similar to a vine. I saw blood flowing from behind the old man.

When Hou Bin and Lao Fei saw it, they immediately panicked, and wanted to go behind them to help the old man find a way to get this vine down. As soon as the two of them stood up, they were stopped by the old man, who still had a painful expression and said, "You guys go quickly, leave me alone, I can deal with it myself." With that, the old man stood up, turned around sharply, shouted, and waved his right hand to "cut" at the vine.

I saw that the vine was "cut" and broken in an instant, and the vine that was "cut" was like life, and after struggling twice, it immediately retracted back into the water and disappeared. The section of vine on the old man's back writhed twice, then fell to the ground, turned into a puddle of black liquid, and finally disappeared.

When Hou Bin and Lao Fei saw this scene, both of them realized that the guy who was in the water just now should be an evil thing. When the Purple Scale Toad King was killed in the Ghost Fang Valley, after the Purple Scale Toad King died, there was a corpse left, indicating that it was something like a spirit. But those who turn into a black liquid after death are those things that are evil.

But whether the creatures in the water are spirits or evil things, there is no need to study these things at this time. The main thing at the moment is the unconscious monkey, and the injured old man. Hou Bin picked up the monkey on his back, and then Lao Fei supported the injured old man, and the four of them left the reservoir.

When the four of them walked to Xihuling, the old man covered his injured back with one hand and pointed to the monkey on Hou Bin's back and said, "I'm fine, this little injury is nothing, you two quickly pour out the water in his stomach." When the two men heard this, they hurriedly bent the monkey's body and pressed his back to help him pour out the water in his stomach.

After a while, the monkey reacted slightly, and Hou Bin and Lao Fei hurriedly shouted at the monkey: "Monkey, monkey, are you awake?" ”

When the monkey heard the shout, he opened his eyes, looked at the two people, and asked weakly, "What's wrong with me, where are we?" ”

As soon as the two saw that the monkey had woken up, they were not so worried. Just when the two of them were happy, when they turned around, they found that the old man didn't know when he was gone.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly shouted a few times, but there was no response. At this time, Hou Bin suddenly thought of something, and said to Lao Fei: "Oops! I remembered who this old man was, and I said how could I look at him so familiarly, just now I was worried about the monkey. ”

After hearing this, Lao Fei looked at Hou Bin with a puzzled expression and asked, "What?" Do you know him? ”

Hou Bin nodded and said, "Well, it's an acquaintance!" The last time the monkey and I came to see the second uncle, we came to the reservoir to take a bath one night, and when we came back, we encountered a ghost hitting the wall on this West Fox Ridge. At that time, the two of us couldn't get out of this Xihuling no matter how we walked, and it was this old man who took us out later. Speaking of this, Hou Bin pondered and said to himself: "Who is this old man?" Why does he appear at every critical moment? ”

And after Lao Fei heard what Hou Bin said, he also muttered in his heart, isn't this old man a human? But no matter if he is a human or a ghost, why did he save Hou Bin and them twice?

The two of them thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, and then they remembered that the monkey was still hanging on the side. Hou Bin patted the old fat shoulder and said, "Let's go quickly, I'm afraid this Xihuling is not safe." In case you really encounter a ghost hitting the wall again in a while, it will be troublesome. With that, Hou Bin stepped forward and picked up the monkey and left.

At this time, Lao Fei followed behind with a nonchalant face and said: "What are you afraid of when the ghost hits the wall, it's all some small tricks, I can break it." ”

Hou Bin wanted to ask Lao Fei how to break this ghost wall, but now the most important thing is to leave Xihuling, so he swallowed back the words when he came to his mouth.

After the three of them arrived at home, Hou Bin told the second uncle the whole thing, and the second uncle was surprised and said, "How is it possible?" I've lived here for more than 50 years, and the Xihuling Reservoir has always been peaceful, and although I've occasionally heard of people drowning, nothing strange has ever happened. How could there be a river charm in this reservoir all of a sudden? ”

The second uncle judged from Hou Bin's description that what they encountered was likely to be a yin and evil thing called the river charm.

The river ghost is one of the water ghosts, and this water ghost is different from other water ghosts. People who die by drowning normally will turn into water ghosts after death, because this is an unnatural death, there will be a certain amount of resentment, and they will look for a substitute, so it is common to hear that someone is pulled into the water by water ghosts and drowned. However, although this water ghost has resentment, after all, it was because of his own reasons that he ended his life prematurely, so he has resentment, but it is not very big, and it usually does not cause much impact.

But River Charm is different. River charms are usually killed by others, such as being forcibly pushed into the water and drowning. In this way, this resentment will be very great, and such a water ghost is naturally not so easy to deal with.

Looking back and talking about it, the second uncle felt incredible when he heard that Hou Bin and they could actually meet the river charm in the Xihuling Reservoir, but he didn't come up with anything after thinking about it for a long time. In the end, I decided to go to the Xihuling Reservoir the next day to find out.

Having said that, the next day, the second uncle took the three of them, and the group of four went to the Xihuling Reservoir. When they passed by the mass grave, they found a faint wisp of smoke wafting in front of the Land Temple.

The first person to see this scene was Hou Bin, Hou Bin pointed to the direction of the Land Temple and said excitedly: "Wouldn't it be that the hundred-year-old yellow skin is burning incense here again?" ”

As soon as they heard this, the other three people also took the opportunity to look over. Lao Fei had also heard of such a thing as burning incense with yellow skins, but he had never seen it, so he was curious to go over and take a look.

Originally, the second uncle didn't plan to go over to see Huangpizi burning incense, and the purpose of his trip was mainly to see the situation of the Xihuling Reservoir. But seeing that everyone had passed, he had no choice but to follow.

At this time, Hou Bin said excitedly to Lao Fei as he walked: "Do you see this land temple, this is built by me, my second uncle and the three of us." Also, I promise you haven't even seen the yellow skin that burns incense, the beard is all white, and ......" Before Hou Bin finished speaking, several people had already come to a place not far in front of the Land Temple.

What they expected was that there was indeed a yellow skin in front of the Land Temple, and it was the yellow skin of the white-bearded man they saw last time, and what they didn't expect was that this yellow skin was not standing there like a person worshipping the Land Temple as they had seen before, but lying on the ground, motionless, and there seemed to be something wrong with its back. At this time, Hou Bin and several people felt very strange and hurriedly came to Huang Pizi's side.

When they came to Huang Pizi's side, they found that Huang Pizi had been injured in the back. Although the wound is not very large in comparison. But on the petite yellow skin, this is not a small injury.

At this time, the second uncle hurriedly stepped forward and carefully held the yellow skin in his hand, and found that it was still alive, but because of the injury, it had no spirit. The second uncle looked at Huang Pizi's injury carefully, and then was stunned for a while, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and said to himself: "It turned out to be it?" ”

Hou Bin and the others were confused by the sentence that the second uncle suddenly came out of, and they didn't know what the second uncle meant.

Hou Bin asked the second uncle with a puzzled face, "What is it?" Who is it? ”

I saw the second uncle standing up with the yellow skin in his arms, and said anxiously: "Don't go to the reservoir first, now hurry home." ”

Although a few people didn't know what the second uncle had discovered, the second uncle in front of him must have wanted to save this yellow skin. A few people hurried back home with the second uncle.

After arriving at home, Hou Bin hurriedly asked, "Second uncle, do you want me to buy some medicine or something?" ”

The second uncle said while carefully looking at Huang Pizi's injury: "No, last time in Yeziling, King Sam gave me a pack of medicine, it seems that I can't keep it now." ”
