Chapter 52 Reservoirs

"No... Didn't you get bitten by a fish? The man asked, wide-eyed.

"Hmm." I nodded.

At this time, there was a smell of stinky feet all over the house, and in this way, it felt that women's feet were not so smelly. The woman was no longer able to move, and she had no strength to scold, so she lay on the bed and was panting, scratching the five toes of her left foot. I crouched down and looked closely at the marks on the soles of her feet. I saw that the mark was oval-shaped, about the size of a wine bottle cap, and it looked like it had been bitten by a fish. However, if it had been bitten a few days ago, it should have scabbed over by now, but the mark was so new that it felt like it had just been bitten.

I reached out and pressed the mark, hard.

"Hey... Oops, don't... Don't scratch the soles of my mother's feet..."

"How?" The man asked in a whisper.

I stood up, bit my lip and shook my head.

"What exactly is bitten, so you can't see it, in short, it's not a fish."

"My wife goes crazy every day, is it related to being bitten on the foot by this thing?" The man asked.

"It should be, she's hit an evil spirit."

"Is there a way you can cure her? If this continues, my chickens won't lay eggs..."

"I'll try it, but it's a pity that I don't have a magic weapon, and I only have a few talismans on my body."

"What do you need, just ask, as long as I have it in the store..."

I patted my forehead lightly and said to myself, yes, I forgot that this person runs a funeral supply store. I ordered this man to bring a handful of incense and a piece of yellow paper. It's a pity that there is no cinnabar pen, so you can only use a big pen. I wrote this woman's birth date on yellow paper. Then, with the man, I lifted the bed and moved it to the northeast corner of the room.

"Hey, you guys... Where are you going to carry the old lady? The woman shouted.

No one paid attention to her.

After moving the bed, I folded the yellow piece of paper with her birthday written on it, and ordered Miss Bai to be stuffed under her head. Then I took out my lighter, lit the incense, and blew a few hard breaths to make it burn.

"Yuxin, hold her down, don't let her move."

It was like a fog in the room, and Miss Bai choked with a cough, and after pressing the woman, I ordered the man to hold down his wife's left ankle. I pinched a vajra finger with my left hand, silently recited the vajra mantra, aimed at the mark on the woman's feet, took the incense in my right hand, and slowly leaned towards her feet...

When incense was still more than half a foot away from the woman's feet, the woman's whole body shook like an electric shock. Immediately after that, her strength increased greatly, and she twisted her body desperately, and Miss Bai pressed it very hard. I let out a loud cry and poked the incense on the woman's feet. With the sound of roasting flesh, the woman let out a strange scream. I removed the incense, and after stepping on it with my foot, I reached out and brushed the ash that was stained on the woman's feet. I saw that the mark had turned dark purple.

"It should be fine." I wiped the sweat from my head.

The woman was drenched in sweat, and she collapsed on the bed with a pair of dead fish eyes, only panting. I took out the yellow paper from under her head and opened it to see that there was something faintly black on the paper, as if it had been smoked by black smoke. I reached out and plucked out one of the woman's heads, wrapped it in yellow paper, gave it to the man, and ordered him to dig a one-meter-deep pit in the northeast corner of the courtyard at night, find a small stone, tie the yellow paper to it, and bury it in the pit.

This woman was bitten on the foot by an unclean thing, and the evil qi invaded the body, and accumulated on the chest and neck, as if she had hyperthyroidism, and she had a short temper and a perverse personality. The mark in the heart of the foot is equivalent to the 'breath' of the evil qi invading the body, I used incense against the breath, cast a spell to force the evil qi out, and was absorbed by the yellow paper with the woman's birthday written on it. After burying the yellow paper in the soil, it will not take long for the evil energy to disperse into the soil.

The man insisted on rewarding us, and I only accepted a handful of incense and two knives of paper from him. The man didn't do it, saying that this little thing was not enough to repay us for spending so much effort to cure his wife, and that he had to give us money.

"I don't need the money, big brother, let's ask you about someone."

"Just ask... You mean, the man who bought the paper from us? ”

"Hmm." I nodded.

The man thought for a moment and said, "I look familiar with that person, I should be from our town." ”

"Your town?"

"Anyway, I must have met him somewhere before. Our town is too big, and there are a lot of outsiders. There are often some people who come to me for paper work in the family, and I look familiar, but I can't name them..."

Judging from the physical characteristics of the person described by the owner of the funeral supply store, it was not any of the three fathers and sons. According to this, the paper figure in Gaojia Village was not made by two fathers and sons, but by someone else? That guy lives in this town right now? …

"Ah Leng, where are we going next?" Coming out of the store, Miss Bai asked.

I saw that it was still early, and after thinking about it, I said, let's go to the reservoir to have a look, this woman was bitten on the foot while fishing in the reservoir and then hit the evil spirit, which means that there is something unclean in the reservoir.

Heading east along Bluestone Street, you'll be out of town in a short time. In front of me is a winding path, on both sides of the road are weeping willows, and when the breeze blows, the willow branches swing around. After walking along the path for about four or five minutes, we came to the reservoir. The embankment of the reservoir is also covered with willow trees, and as soon as you climb the embankment, you can hear the roaring sound of the machine. As far as the eye can see, there is a row of pumping machines on the embankment on the south bank, and long water pipes are like black pythons, winding down the embankment and reaching into the water.

On the water's edge, many people walked around with trouser legs, buckets, and long nets.

"Let's go down and have a look."

I pulled Miss Bai and descended from a place where the slope was not too steep to the water's edge.

"Uncle, can you catch any fish in this reservoir?" I asked a middle-aged man.

The man told us that this reservoir was originally only used to store water for irrigation, and after the water level dropped overnight, I don't know where so many fish came from, didn't it rain all the time a few days ago, and the people in the town generally thought that it must be a day fish that fell from the rain, and since it was not artificially raised, it could be fished at will.

I nodded, looked at the bucket at the middle-aged man's feet, and saw that there were four or five fish in it, with one gill and one on the cheeks, two of which were Yellow River carp, and the other three could not be named.

"It's weird." The man pointed to the distance, "So many pumps have been pumping water for irrigation in the vegetable greenhouses for two days and two nights, and the water level in this reservoir has not dropped at all." ”

"Oh?" I frowned and looked at the pump in the distance.

"Oh, there seems to be fish there..."

When I tried to inquire again, the man, as if he was afraid that someone would rob him, took the net, carried the bucket and ran away.

"It's strange, where do so many fish come from this reservoir?" Miss Bai said.

"Strange, it's strange," I muttered, "what does it mean that the pumping machine doesn't drop the water level?" It shows that there is constantly foreign water pouring into the reservoir, and looking at the fish in the man's bucket, it seems to be growing in the Yellow River. Could it be that ... Could it be that this reservoir is connected to the Yellow River?! ”

It is possible that the water level of this reservoir should be on the same level as the water level of the Yellow River. My heart suddenly moved, thinking of the horror scene we had in the Yellow River earlier, and the 'hole' in the riverbed that Miss Bai had said. I've always wondered that since the cave has so much suction, it means that there is a river flowing into the hole. Since the river enters the hole, it must not be a dead hole. I couldn't figure out where the hole leads, but when I heard the middle-aged man say it just now, and then look at the pumping machine in the distance, could it be that the hole leads to this reservoir? You know, in terms of straight-line distance, this reservoir is at least ten miles away from the place where Miss Bai and I fell into the water in the Yellow River before, and if that hole really leads to this reservoir, it would be incredible.

Miss Bai and I have the same idea. I can't help but think of the pond in front of Yang Shujun's house, which is connected to the well outside the village...

"I see." Miss Bai said.

"Understand what?" I was stunned.

"The fish in this reservoir were sucked in by the hole under the riverbed."

"That's not right." I pointed to the pumps, "If the reason why the water keeps pouring into the hole and gives it suction is because the reservoir is pumping, then it's only been two days, and two days ago, there was no pumping here, and the water from the Yellow River wouldn't have entered the hole, and the hole wouldn't have sucked the fish." Didn't you hear what the man just said, when the water level in the reservoir just dropped, there were fish..."

The drop in the water level of the reservoir indicates that its original water level was higher than that of the Yellow River, and after connecting with the Yellow River, the water poured into the Yellow River, so it was impossible to suck the fish through at that time. So there is only one possibility, and that is that the fish swam by itself. I feel that there must be something in this reservoir, these fish, attracted by the things in the reservoir, so they swim from the Yellow River...

I pulled Miss Bai to step on the wet water's edge, looking at the water surface as I walked, and there was nothing unusual.

"Come here, here's one!"

Coming to a location, not far from us, a girl pointed to the water and shouted, and a boy ran over with a chopping net. It looks like it's a couple. The boy turned the net pole, and the net pocket at the front was erected, and he slashed into the water, and when he came out of the water, he saw a big fish in the net pocket, and he was shaking in it.

The girl cheered loudly, drawing all eyes from the crowd.

"Huh? Why is this fish so weird? ”

After the boy pulled the net over, the girl cried out.

I looked over and saw that the fish was fat and fat, with a pointed mouth and two fins in front that were like two small fans.

"Ah Leng." Miss Bai tugged at me gently.

"What's wrong?"

"This is the Yellow River Dolphin, and I went with them to visit the Aquatic Biology Museum and saw specimens of this fish."

"The Yellow River Porpoise?"

"Hmm." Ms. Bai said, "Now the wild Yellow River Dolphin is very small, just like wild boars and other wild animals, protected by the state..."

I nodded, and said in my heart, there is actually a red river dolphin in this reservoir, which shows that it is connected to the Yellow River.

When I heard that I had caught a strange fish, many people came to see it.

"Oh, this is a guinea fish, this fish is worth a lot!" An old man said.

The girl's eyes lit up with excitement, and she jumped up and kissed the boy on the face, "Husband, you're awesome!" ”

The boy looked around triumphantly, and poked the guinea fish in the mouth with a flirtatious face. After pouring the fish into the bucket, the two of them got up to leave, but I stopped them.

"Wait a minute."

The boy was stunned and looked me up and down, "What are you doing?" ”

"You can't take this fish with you."
