Chapter 15: Grandpa Passes Away

After speaking, I withdrew the thumbs up that I pointed at Ye Fanzhen.

"Just now I seemed to have a dream about bull heads and horses. ”

I saw the master sit up from the bed and said sleepily.

"They want to lock you away, it was Ye Fan who saved you."

"Isn't that guy dead?" the master looked dazed.

Hades confiscated him. ”

"Then isn't he a lonely ghost," the master said, reaching out and picking up the teacup on the table.

"Phew, why does this water smell?" the master grumbled, staring at the water in the bowl.

"It's the smell of alkali."

"No," the master's face was full of doubt, and he stared at the teacup in his hand for a moment.

"I'll taste it," I said, and I stretched out my hand in the direction of the master. "What kind of smell is this?" the master's teacup in his hand smelled of a pungent fishy smell.

"Isn't there something rotting in the water", I looked at the well-informed master.

"I'll take a look after dawn," the master's answer surprised me a little. At this time, Ye Fanzhen was hiding in a dark corner, and I knew that he didn't want his master to see it.

The eastern sky gradually turned a little white, and as soon as the master and I went out of the door, we heard the people on the street talking about something, and they were all in a hurry, following the crowd to the ancient well in the village. The wellhead was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, all of them talking about something in a panic. There was a pungent smell of decay all around.

"Sister, what are you looking at?" I said hello to a woman standing by the well.

"There's something down there. "I walked to the well, and there was something floating faintly under the well, but I couldn't see what it was in the dark well.

"Master, come and see, there is something in the well"

"I'm so dizzy, you can't see clearly, let alone me." The master waved his hand again and again.

At this moment, a few people with ropes in their hands and long poles walked briskly towards the crowd of onlookers.

"Get out of the way". The strong man at the head shouted loudly.

I pointed to the long pole and asked the strong man, "What are you going to do?"

A soft snort came out of the strong man's mouth, "Fish that thing out!"

After several hours of scrambling salvage, the thing was dragged up, and it turned out to be a corpse, with a gray face and a puffy body, and some places had begun to decompose, and it seemed to have been dead for a long time......

"No wonder there is a fishy smell in the water, it turns out that this corpse is at work." A middle-aged man pointed to the corpse and complained.

The crowd gathered together in twos and began to discuss. The master crossed his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the corpse.

"You all came here to find out whose house it is?" Because the body had been soaked under the water for too long, the crowd of onlookers shook their heads to indicate that they did not recognize.

"Since no one knows each other, first place the body in Yizhuang to see if there are any family members to identify the body." After speaking, the master brushed the whisker that had turned white on his chin.

"Phew, you nameless guy, you have to be in the well when you die, and there is no clean water to eat in our village," a middle-aged man with a beard on his face pointed to the corpse and cursed.

"Someone, come quickly," he said, and saw a man with a big shoulder and a round waist rushing towards us.

"Changshan, what's the fuss. The master scolded Changshan.

"Uncle Wen, go and take a look, something happened to the Longtan Reservoir." After Changshan finished speaking, I suddenly remembered that less than 500 meters away from this village was the Longtan Reservoir.

The master looked at Changshan and hesitated for a moment.

"Let's go, let's see". As soon as the master gave the order, the villagers rushed to Longtan. Fortunately, the village is not far from Longtan, and we came to Longtan Reservoir in less than a cigarette.

There was a layer of dead fish and dead shrimp floating densely on the surface of the water, and the master went to pick up a dead fish. How could the belly of this fish be blackened, the fish head seemed to be bitten off by something, and I saw the master frown and hesitate for a while.

The crowd began to spontaneously roll up their trouser legs and stand on the shore to catch dead fish and shrimp.

"Come and see. The voice came to my ears, but it sounded mixed with a hint of fear, and I looked for it and saw Changshan shivering, his mouth wide open, and his right hand pointing to the water. I helped the master to the long mountain.

There was a head hidden in the aquatic plants not far away, a pair of pale eyes staring at us, and the bold young man picked up a long bamboo pole and stretched out his head, poked his head dozens of times in a row, and did not make any response.

"Come and get him up with Changshan. The master's voice was a little heavy.

"Ah", with a loud cry from Changshan, they threw the corpse to the shore. I saw that the corpse's face was pale, its mouth was slightly open, and the two long teeth on the left and right sides stretched out of its mouth respectively, like the dragon king. I looked at the corpses and thought to myself, is it a coincidence that there are two corpses at the same time?

The corpses in the well and the floating corpses in the Longtan Reservoir caused some rumors to ferment quickly in the village. It is said that the dragon lord came out to arrest people and kill them. Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile, "These idiots, this kind of thing can be said, since it was the Dragon King who came out to arrest and kill people, then how could the Dragon King die." Many villagers in the village got together one after another, apparently to ask the village chief for an explanation.

"Master Wen, are you going?" asked a man in front of him who looked to be in his fifties to the master.

"Whoever likes to go, I'm afraid he can't control this matter!" The master's eyes were half-narrowed, and he shook his head as he looked at me, and motioned for me to follow the man to have a look.

"I'll be with you!" I looked at the man.

These villagers gathered at the village chief's house, talking and saying everything, the dragon king asked for his life, the fish and shrimp in the water offended the dragon king, and so on.

Since the village chief experienced the reservoir coffin incident, he didn't seem to be panicking, but can I manage this matter? I saw the village chief bow his head and remain silent, obviously pondering.

After more than ten minutes like this, the village chief raised his head, "Let Qiu Tianwen break it, this kind of thing is only a little capable of him in our village, but what should he need to prepare?"

"I know," I said, walking towards the village chief at the back of the crowd. After hearing this, everyone left the village chief's house one after another, and I returned to the master's residence.

"Master, the village chief said that you will break it tomorrow." I looked at the master.

"Well, I know," the master said with a hint of irritability, and lit the cigarette pouch pot in his hand.

At dawn the next day, the master led me with a large bag and a small bag on his back, and walked towards Longtan. Just as the master had just erected the altar, a voice came from the crowd, "It's useless for you to do this," which sounded a little arrogant. I saw a middle-aged man with a disheveled hair walking behind the crowd.

"What does he know about the madman in the village?" Changshan saw that it was the madman in the village, and let out a complaining voice. The madman slowly walked up to the master and whispered a few words to the master.

"Haha". I saw the master laughing.
