Chapter 4: Xi Ye

"Click!"

The sound of the explosion and thunder shook the water tank where I was staying, and the rain outside was a little lighter than before.

I covered my ears with my hands, but I still felt terrible.

However, I also saw that in Xiye's yard, suddenly there was an extra figure.

You know, no one will come out in this kind of weather, even Xiye and eldest brother stay in the house.

But it seems to have come out of nowhere, and I can't be mistaken.

With another flash of lightning, I could see the thing in the courtyard more clearly than the last time.

It's just that I was so frightened by this thing that I said he was human, but he was covered in fish scales, and he said he wasn't human, but he could walk upright.

At this time, another explosion thundered out.

My head was dizzy again, and my chest was even more suffocating.

I guess a few seconds later, when the lightning appeared outside, I saw that inside the courtyard, what looked like a person earlier, was gone.

However, on the floor of the courtyard, there were more scattered things, and there were some grass and wood strips, as well as torn clothes, and a "human" head!

But I know that it was the grass and wood man who Xi Ye said, and used it to help me die.

It's just that in such a short period of time, the grass and wood man appeared in the courtyard, and he still changed like that, which really scared me.

It was also at this time that I suddenly felt that something was wrong, like something was on the side of the water tank I was waiting for.

Although it was raining outside, I still vaguely smelled a fishy smell, and floated directly into the hole in the water tank.

I couldn't help but feel sick to my stomach because of the smell, and I just made a movement.

As a result, the water tank I was staying in immediately vibrated as if I had been hit by something.

When lightning appeared outside again, I looked out through the hole, but I was completely stunned.

For there were two eyes that looked like the eyes of a dead fish, and they were looking inward.

If you want to say what is the most frightening thing in this world, I am afraid that this is the time.

I forgot how I was reacting.

But the water tank I was staying in was directly knocked over, and I rolled out of it.

The things in that rainy night, with a thunderclap, also rushed straight towards me.

I was about to die, but suddenly I was pulled away, dodging what seemed to be a human being.

Moreover, the thing that pounced on it was also blocked by another figure.

At that time, I didn't come back to my senses at all, until I was brought into the house by the person who rescued me, and after a long while, I realized that it was my eldest brother who saved me.

It wasn't until this person was that I cried directly, and the eldest brother didn't say much, just hugged me.

After the thunder and rain stopped outside, Xiye also came back.

It's just that there are two more shocking scratches on the old man's chest clothes.

Fortunately, Xiye was not really injured, and he also asked me to go out with my eldest brother.

When my eldest brother and I came outside, I saw an extra humanoid corpse in the puddle in the courtyard!

The most bizarre thing is that the corpse has been skinned, and most of the places are exposed flesh, and in some places, there are things like fish scales.

I looked at it for a moment, and I knew it was the thing that almost killed me not long ago.

But the more I looked, the more I felt a chill in my heart, because looking at this dead man who was skinned, I couldn't help but think of Lao Zhangtou's family and his apprentices, they didn't die like this, they were skinned off!

The eldest brother also talked to Xiye about this, and mentioned "Dragon King Skinning".

Xi Ye said that these dead people who were skinned by the Dragon King were estimated to be controlled, and as for the things that controlled them, maybe it was the ghost Dragon King.

Now, it can be regarded as unraveling some things that were not clear before.

That's the so-called dragon king skinning, but it's actually done by dead people!

But the more this is the case, the more terrible it becomes, and the dead people who have been skinned will not only reappear, but also harm others.

Xiye felt that there must be something greasy in this.

and the so-called Ghost Dragon King, it must not be simple.

It's just that even though I know this, I can't figure out more things at once.

Xiye asked me and my eldest brother not to worry about the affairs here, he just took care of it.

My eldest brother and I were also worried about my father, so we didn't continue to delay and began to rush back.

When my eldest brother and I returned home, there was nothing unusual except that we couldn't find my father.

This is also good news, because I originally thought that something happened to my father, but now there is still some possibility, and my father is still alive.

After that, in addition to using various ways to find my father's whereabouts, the eldest brother provided for me to study.

Whenever I was on vacation, my eldest brother would also carefully teach me about the business of recovering corpses.

However, the eldest brother didn't go to fish for the corpse again, he completely changed his career and began to do aquatic products, and he made a fortune after a few years of hard work, and he also married a wife and had children.

As for Xiye's words, his name is Zhou Dexi, and then he left in the winter when I was seventeen years old, and the funeral was handled by the eldest brother for him, and it can be regarded as someone sending him to the end.

Before Xiye's death, the relationship with my family has not been broken, and I also know that he used to be a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple, but later he still couldn't get rid of the fetters of Hongchen, and he went back to the village to marry his childhood sweetheart.

However, Xiye has no offspring, his wife died early, and then he lived alone.

The relationship with my family, in fact, is quite simple, that is, Xiye drank too much for a year, fell into the river and almost drowned, but was saved by his father.

Before Xiye died, he was still thinking about me, because he said that he could only help me block for nine years, and when I was nineteen years old, something would still happen.

But over the years, Xiye hasn't found out any clues, and when he died, he was a pity.

When I was nineteen years old, I just finished the college entrance examination, and I returned to my eldest brother's house during the summer vacation.

I also clearly feel that my eldest brother is very worried because of my business.

But he couldn't do it, in the past few years, he didn't mention it in front of me, and I knew that he was afraid that I would be stimulated.

It's just that I don't really care about these things, because I'm already thinking about them.

But neither of us could have imagined that this would happen so quickly.
