He complained in a low voice: "Why can't this old man make it clear, so let's go up and catch fish for him?"

"Aren't all the fish in the river?"

"I still need your reminder?"

“......”

Obviously, the common sense that fish should be caught in the river is well known, but is this seven-star fish really that easy to catch?

Once turned out three paper umbrellas at home, let the three immortals paste a layer of lard on the umbrella, the lard can block the daylight, and then stick a layer of lotus leaves that can condense yin on the lard, the reason for this is that the three immortals can hide under the umbrella during the day, not exposed to the sun, and can also be protected by yin.

After all the necessary things were ready, he led the three immortals out of the house.

When I went out, the sky had just shed a layer of stuffy air, and a few large and thick black clouds were drifting from the other side of the sky.

"Senior brother, I think it's going to rain this day, and the sky is gray and gloomy overhead. ”

"This black cloud is going to float over now, and it is estimated that it will take some time, so we should go early and return early. ”

As soon as he walked briskly towards the river, the three immortals disappeared in the sun, as if three umbrellas were floating out of thin air, following closely behind him.

On the side of the river, he folded a thin bamboo stick as a fishing rod and tied it up to make a simple fishing rod.

"Now it's just a matter of hooks and bait. You guys dig up some earthworms in the dirt, and I'll find a way to get a hook back." ”

Don't look at the three immortals who are already ghosts, but they are still afraid of those things in their lives, especially fat potatoes, and especially soft worms like earthworms.

"Senior brother, I'll go with you to get fish hooks, and let green peppers and eggplants dig earthworms. ”

Everyone knew that potatoes were afraid of soft worms, so they didn't embarrass him. In this way, once a group with potatoes, a group of green peppers and eggplants, each set off.

The green pepper and eggplant group picked up a broken bowl on the bank of the river, and found a piece of fertile black soil not far away.

"Green pepper, you come to hold an umbrella", eggplant with his ghost hand that can penetrate the soil, like fishing in the water, "fishing" earthworms in the soil, and after a while, the earthworm family here is served in a pot.

"Eggplant, I see that we have finished catching this shallow earthworm, it's time to stretch out your arms and fish for the bottom. Your arms are much longer than mine, and here, hehe, I'll leave it to you. ”

Eggplant is also called high eggplant, as the name suggests, he is the tallest of the three immortals, and naturally his arm is also the longest.

"You short green pepper, I'm really convinced of you!"

Speaking of hard work, eggplant is the one they are most willing to pay, and this time he didn't say a word, straightened his arm and dug into the soil.

After "fishing" a few more handfuls into the deep soil, in the soil not far from their feet, the eggplant seemed to touch something hard, the thing was round, like a ball, stuck in the soil and could not feel its weight.

"Green pepper, I seem to have touched something, it's not round. ”

"Isn't there any treasure down here?"

"I don't know, maybe some kind of broken bowl is buried in the soil. ”

The eggplant shifted its position, its face pressed against the ground, allowing her right arm to go down further and touch the outline of the thing in more ways.

There are two large holes in the surface of this spherical thing, which can be inserted by the index finger and the middle finger respectively. The eggplant hooked his fingers into the inside of the hole, trying to pull the thing out. However, half of this thing was stuck in the harder soil, and the eggplant was pulled from side to side, and it took a lot of effort to loosen it.

"Green Pepper, come and put your arms around my waist, you can push hard as I push, let's pull this thing out and see what it is." ”

The two ghosts were like pulling turnips, and finally pulled this thing out of the soil after three strokes and five divisions.

You can't really figure out what this thing is, and when it comes out of the ground, it almost doesn't frighten the two ghosts.

"Ah......hh This, this, this...... It's a human head!"

The eggplant's fingers were still hooked into the hole in the eye, and when he saw the dead man's head, he was so frightened that he threw his arm so hard that he threw the head into the reeds beside him.

Knock ——!

"Ouch hey, it scared the hell out of me. ”

The eggplant gasped, still frightened, and the green pepper had already knelt on the ground, facing the position where he had just buried his head, his hands were clasped together and kowtowed, and his mouth kept babbling: "Unintentional mistakes, there is no blame......"

Three seconds later, the two ghosts looked at each other and smiled.

"Hehehe, we, it seems, are not human, right?"

"Hehehe, after all, we and 'it' are also 'ghosts in the same way', right?

The two ghosts smirked, amused by the embarrassment of being a ghost and afraid of ghosts just now, in fact, they were not afraid that they really didn't have the guts.

"Eggplant, did you hear anything just now? As you shook off the man's head, it looked like it hit something when it hit the ground. ”

"Did you hear that? It sounded like it had hit something hard like a big rock. ”

"Then what should we do now? Why don't we go to my senior brother?"

"I see that the earthworms are almost dug up, and they are all full of bowls, let's go and meet my senior brother. ”

Eggplant and green pepper got up and walked a few steps, but they all stopped, and they were a little reluctant to go, and the brothers pulled out the soil of the other person's head and threw it somewhere, and it was a bit of a conscience to walk away like this.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Don't talk about me, haven't you stopped?"

"Well, don't you think you can't go like this?"

"Hmm. ”

"So, let's put its head back?"

"Hmm. ”

Although these two ghosts found out in their conscience and wanted to "return" the heads of others, they shirked each other because they were afraid, and finally quarreled.

At this time, once he had made a fish hook with the potatoes, he also walked here, and the quarrel between the eggplant and the green pepper caught their attention.

"What are you arguing about? Look, the earthworms have run away. ”

The earthworms that the eggplant had just dug up crawled out of the broken bowl and burrowed back into the black soil.

Once he looked at the eggplant and the green pepper and knew that the earthworm had run away, he stood there indifferently and reprimanded: "You two are evil? What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and catch the earthworm back." ”

The eggplant didn't dare to speak, and the green pepper couldn't say what he wanted to say.

The four of them stood for a long time, and they waited a little impatiently, and the sentence "Just say what you have" shocked Qingjiao and immediately said it.

"There's something down here!"

When Qingjiao said this, his face became a little solemn, and he could see that the "thing" he was talking about was by no means something in the general sense.

"What's that?"

"It's a dead man!"

"Dead people?"

"Yes, right down here. ”

Eggplant and Green Pepper told the story of what happened, and finally the idea of returning the dead man's head.

Ma Yi, as the only living person among the four brothers, was bolder than the ghosts, and after he asked the approximate location of the head fall, he went into the reeds to search.

The reeds were not dense, and the branches of the plants were only half as tall as most people, and in a matter of effort, he found the head, but he also made a new discovery.

"You three come here, I found a box. ”

The four of them worked together to move the wooden box and the dead man's head to the clearing, and once they asked the eggplant to put the head back in its original burial place, and dispose of the dirt and weeds from the box themselves.

"What are you guys doing for so long, come over and take a look at this wooden box when you're done. ”

It took a long time to bury the head deep in the ground, and the ghost returned to the side, and the four of them watched around the locked wooden box.

"Senior brother, what do you say is in here?"

Judging from the sound of the force colliding with the contents of the box just now, I dared to assert that there must be some heavy object in it.

"Want to know what's in it? That's not easy!"

He lifted the big rock at his feet and smashed it on the lock that was locked out of the box.

When the box was opened, everyone was surprised to see that it contained a box full of gold bars.
