Chapter Twenty-Four: The Water Ghost Asks for His Life

"Busy with marriage......"

"Your marriage?" I looked at him with questions.

"yes, I'm getting married soon. ”

After Ye Fanzhen finished speaking, his face was filled with a kind of happiness, as if he had long forgotten about his cousin's drowning.

"Three cannons, you say, why can't my cousin's body float?"

Ye Fanzhen looked at me with a questioning face.

I thought about it for a while: "It's hard to say, I'm just afraid that there is something at the bottom of the river that eats the corpse, or the corpse is stuck in a corner of the bottom of the river......"

After speaking, I thought to myself, this Ye Fan is really sad enough, first some time ago, my aunt's body was stolen, and now there is such a thing.

"Think of a way ......"

Ye Fanzhen's words interrupted my thinking.

"Don't worry, with me, the body will definitely be found!" I said with a sense of confidence.

"Come up all the people in the river. I shouted into the river.

The autumn river must be bitterly cold, and the people in the river, listening to my shout, all ran ashore after a while.

"Go home and get a rooster, if you want to live, take a few meters of red rope, three sticks of incense, a little paper money......"

I said to the woman.

When the woman heard my words, she quickly ran home.

After a while.

"Give ......"

The woman reached out and handed me the, but I didn't take it.

I looked at the woman: "Tie the red thread to the neck of the chicken, and throw the other end of the red thread into the water." ”

I lit the three sticks of incense in my hand and slowly inserted them into the ground.

Then he turned around and gestured for the woman to throw the into the water.

"Oh...... Oh......"

I saw that the rooster, accompanied by a few rooster crows, fluttered in the water for a while, and then slowly sank underwater.

"Brothers, don't look at it, hurry up and follow the position where the rooster sinks, and go into the water to find someone!"

I shouted to the crowd.

I saw that at my command, several young strong men plunged into the water.

"Found ......"

I followed the sound and saw a strong man, surfacing and giving me a thumbs up.

The strong man gestured, the corpse, right in this position.

After a short while, the body was recovered and brought ashore.

I looked closely, and the bodies that had been salvaged ashore.

I saw a purple handprint on the corpse's foot and neck, and black mud slowly flowed out of the nostrils.

I thought to myself, there must be something underwater.

"Everyone is scattered......"

I shouted to the crowd.

Several strong men carried the corpse and walked slowly.

And the woman, Ye Fanzhen, Ye Zhen and others, followed behind and cried bitterly.

When I came to Ye Fanzhen's uncle's house, I patted Ye Fanzhen on the shoulder: "Brother, people can't be resurrected after death, and the festival mourns and changes." ”

Ye Fanzhen looked at me with eyes full of sadness: "Three cannons, my cousin's death is definitely not an accident, what is it underwater?"

"What the hell have I done, God wants me to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person......"

Ye Fanzhen's uncle was lying on the corpse in pain, patting his thigh with his hand from time to time.

And Ye Fanzhen's aunt sat on the ground with tears in her eyes.

Suddenly, Ye Fanzhen's aunt, as if she thought of something, stood up and slowly walked to my side.

"Master, what killed my son?" she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Water ghosts. I replied calmly.

"My son has no grievances with it, why should it harm my son?"

"Looking for a substitute, a person who has been drowned, if he wants to be reincarnated, within three years, he must find a substitute, if he does not find a substitute, he will never be reincarnated, and he can only be a lonely ghost forever. ”

After listening to me, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Two years ago, wasn't Xun Dazhu in that river and committed suicide by jumping into the river?"

A crowd of onlookers shouted loudly.

Things were pulled back to two years ago.

That spring, the peach blossoms were in full bloom.

Liu Yuting, the daughter of Liu Sanwang's family, fell in love with Xun Dazhu in the village, and soon confirmed the relationship.

The young couple made a private lifelong decision to become husband and wife.

Who would have thought that Liu Sanwang thought that Xun Dazhu's family was too poor, and he didn't agree.

The young couple decided to end it all in a martyrdom way.

They made an appointment, but they never wanted to be seen by Liu Sanwang, so they locked Liu Yuting at home and didn't let them go out, and Xun Dazhu went to Liu Sanwang's house many times to find no results.

Liu Sanwang even said cruel words, if Xun Dazhu continued to entangle Liu Yuting, he would break Xun Dazhu's legs.

Liu Sanwang decided to find Liu Yuting's in-laws immediately.

Xun Dazhu waited at the door of Liu Sanwang's house for a few days, but he didn't see Liu Yuting go out.

At this time, Xun Dazhu was disheartened, Xun Dazhu walked to the river and jumped into the river alone.

Unfortunately, Xun Dazhu was wearing a red shirt that day.

They all say that they are dead

Liu Yuting...... My fiancΓ©e?"

Ye Fanzhen said to himself with a questioning look on the side.

Aunt Ye Fanzhen stopped crying.

I saw Ye Fanzhen's aunt and ran to Ye Fanzhen's side, "Fanzhen, this marriage can't be married." ”

A person, dressed in red, will surely become a terrible ghost after death.

"The date has been set, how can I excuse myself?"

Ye Fan's true face is entangled.

I could tell that he was helpless too.

"Brother, our father has always loved face, if you regret this, doesn't it mean that you want his old life?"

Ye Zhen made up on the side.

Due to a custom in our hometown, those who have not married and died young are not allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave.

The body of Ye Fanzhen's cousin was buried in his own farmland, without a ceremony, let alone a coffin, just wrapped in a straw mat and buried hastily.

A few days later, I was walking down the street.

I saw Ye Fanzhen walking towards me.

His face was flushed, and he was followed by a girl with yellow hair that hung down just right to her waist.

It seems that he has long forgotten about his cousin.

I thought to myself, the girl next to him is Liu Yuting!

"Three cannons, this is my wife Liu Yuting, come to my wedding on time the day after tomorrow......"

Ye Fanzhen looked at me and pointed to the girl beside me.

"Brother and sister, I will be fortunate to meet you, and I will definitely attend on time the day after tomorrow. ”

Farewell to Ye Fanzhen, I just came to the door.

I saw that at the door, Zhou Shihao, who had been waiting for a long time, walked towards me.

"Where did you kid go? Zhou Shihao looked anxious.

"What's the matter, little Zhou Zhou?" I looked at Zhou Shihao.

"Since yesterday, something strange has happened to my family. ”

Zhou Shihao looked at me with panic on his face.

"What's the matter, tell me about ......"

"Two days ago, my cow was lost, at first, I thought it was stolen by some greedy person, just last night, my cow, lost another one, because it had just rained, I followed the footprints of the cow to find it, where do you guess I found the cow?"

After Zhou Shihao finished speaking, he looked at me with a puzzled face.

"Don't sell officials, hurry up and talk about ......"

"Next to a new grave, there are only cow bones. ”

I looked panicked: "Take me to see ......"

I thought to myself, isn't Ye Fan really a cousin?
