Chapter 48: Sudden Crisis
The two men stood like that, like stiff wood, when suddenly one of them turned and walked behind the other. Just when I was confused, I saw him suddenly reach out and push forward!
"Poofโ"
There was no cry for help, no shouting, no struggle, and after a few seconds, only a few black ripples remained throughout the pond.
I swallowed, a look of horror appeared on my face, and I turned my head to look at Uncle Mo.
He was stunned and speechless.
The man was still standing on the edge of the pond.
Suddenly, he crouched down and picked something up from the ground, then turned around, raised something in his hand, it was a knife, and ran wildly towards us.
I didn't even see the person's appearance clearly, so Uncle Mo immediately grabbed my arm and ran wildly.
"Ah, don't look at it, let's go!"
"Go to my house, go to my house to find my master!" I said, and Mo Laosan also agreed.
However, the man behind him was really chasing after him, as if we had some deep hatred with him, and he had to kill us.
I opened my voice and shouted to the village, "Murder! Murder! โ
The man behind him was gasping for breath, and he was only two meters away from us.
I turned my head to see that in the dim moonlight, the man was smiling, raising his machete and throwing it at us.
The blade cut through Mo Laosan's skin, and he screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
I immediately stopped, and first watched the two men fight together.
However, Mo Lao is still on the older side, and he is already in his forties this year, and he has no strength to resist after being punched twice.
Then, the man picked up the firewood knife that fell next to him and was about to cut it at Mo Laosan's head.
And just then, I threw the handful of dirt I had just picked up in my hand, and it hit him in the face.
As soon as his eyes were closed, he was so struggling with Mo Laosan that the knife fell again.
Mo Laosan knew that the opportunity had come, picked up the knife, and slashed at the man's arm and waist with his backhand.
The blood flowed like an infusion, and the flesh and bones fell off like chopping melons and vegetables.
Until he fell.
The barking of dogs and cries for help resounded throughout the village, and many people were awakened and rushed over with flashlights, all of them turned pale with fright from the pools of blood on the ground. After a while, Liu Ruxiang also came.
The person who was hacked to death also figured out his identity, and it was actually a big hadron!
I didn't dare to turn my head to look at the tragic situation behind me, and told everything I had just seen and experienced.
At this moment, another woman who was crying came over, and it was the wife of the village chief Mo Ershi.
"Oh no, no, you guys hurry up and see, my man is drowned!"
Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly gathered around to ask what was going on, how he drowned, and where he drowned.
"In my house, he collapsed in the sink and ran out of gas."
As soon as these words came out, everyone didn't believe it, including me, I felt weird, and I followed her to the village chief's house in a panic, and saw a terrifying scene: Mo Ershi's head was planted in the sink for washing his hands, and his head was all immersed in the water, and there was no movement, and his legs were still standing straight.
When I touched it with my hand, my body became stiff and cold.
Fear was written all over their faces.
"What to do! What the hell is going on? โ
Liu Ruxiang took a deep breath, calmed down, and told everyone: "Now that there are so many lives, the problem is not simple, there must be something at work under the water of the persimmon pond, if you don't deal with it, I'm afraid there will be an accident next." โ
In the whole village, only my master was my master, and everyone else was helpless about it, and they all turned their eyes to my master, hoping to save people.
Liu Ruxiang stood in the bathroom and looked around, looked down, and sighed: "I didn't expect this thing to be so fierce." โ
So now everyone called the whole village and waited together by the river. There is also the village chief, the corpses in the threshing floor outside, and the big strong man, the corpses are all carried to the edge of the persimmon pond, and everyone in our village has gone over, energetic and energetic, and we have to turn over this pond. The roots of everything are there. โ
Liu Ruxiang pointed out the goal, and everyone immediately took action and gathered at the wild persimmon pond.
Tonight, it is destined to be difficult to sleep.
As she walked, Liu Ruxiang told me about her next strategy.
"Do you remember that in the afternoon, someone said that when digging a deep persimmon pond decades ago, there was a person who was directly thrown crazy, and said that he was a woman, he wanted to get married, and finally conceived a child in his belly, right?"
I nodded, and the story was still fresh in my mind.
"According to the current information, it can be deduced that the first accident in the wild pond was decades ago, caused by excavation, which is enough to show that there must have been something wrong with the deep pond at that time, and it is very likely that some dirty things were deposited earlier."
Liu Ruxiang picked up the box and various materials, and asked others to prepare a live rooster, which is likely to be used in the later rituals.
When I came to Persimmon Pond again, it was more lively than every time I came before, and everyone gathered together, either crying, or shivering, or whispering.
Under the pressure of Liu Ruxiang's call and fear, everyone who could hold a shovel basically began to work, and the narrow and shallow canal soon began to become wide and deep.
Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed, and it was already half past one, and many children and old people were sleeping directly on the grass, and we had finally dug the ditch.
The pond water, with a hint of fishy smell, was drained from the canal and drained until only silt remained at the bottom.
However, there was not a single body under the pond.
The villagers were in an uproar, and some even questioned Liu Ruxiang's judgment, and I vaguely heard that someone was scolding the broom in their mouths.
Liu Ruxiang was unmoved and insisted on digging up the silt.
We went down to the pond first, and the other laborers followed, carrying them in baskets and scooping them in pots, cleaning up the silt, and then going down to dig up the wet soil.
"What's the matter, why is there still no corpse underneath, I think you are clearly a liar, you two are broom stars, maybe people are killed by the two of your apostles!"
"Let's dig a pond, tossing for a long time with no result!"
A few people began to accuse us of the master and apprentice, I was angry and annoyed, my master and apprentice were not for the good of the people in the village, otherwise they would have left directly, how could there be so many bad things?
As soon as I opened my mouth to question the two of them, I saw Liu Ruxiang holding a stick of incense and stopped somewhere in the pond.
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground: "Dig here." โ
The shovel went down, and within two clicks, I heard a "pop".
