The Theory of Water Ghosts
I have to say that this insignificant detail is enough to make Chu Lu's impression in Chi Zhongtian's heart much better, at least, Chi Zhongtian feels that Chu Lu's work is much happier than Guo Ming's.
After getting off the boat, Chi Zhongtian did not delay at all, and directly with Guo Ming, he took Chu Lu to the warehouse where the corpse was parked.
As soon as he entered, Rao was also mixed with the rivers and lakes, and he was also startled by the corpses all over the ground, and generally sighed that it was fortunate that it was not his own person, and he was also guessing who this was, with such great ability.
"Master of the village, there is still one in the other warehouse, you take your time, look carefully, it is best to find some clues. Chi Zhongtian said on the side.
"Don't worry, the owner of the pond!" he walked over and casually lifted the white cloth on a corpse.
Soon, he looked at more than a dozen corpses in a row, and Chi Zhongtian observed that the further back, the faster he looked, and even later, he directly lifted the white cloth and glanced at it, immediately covered the white cloth, and then walked to the next corpse, which showed that Chu Lu must have found something.
"Master Chi Zhuang, they are definitely not water bandits on the Jialing River. After reading the thirtieth body, he didn't look at the back one, and walked directly to Chi Zhongtian and said this.
"I wonder why the lord of the village is so sure?" Chi Zhongtian asked.
"Master Chi Zhuang, although these people are not water bandits on the Jialing River, I know their origins!" said Chu Lu with sharp eyes.
"Oh?" Chi Zhongtian was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Say it quickly!"
"If I'm not mistaken, they should be water ghosts on the Fuling River!" said Chu Lu in a firm tone.
"Water ghost!" Guo Ming was the first to exclaim when he heard it.
When Chi Zhongtian heard the word water ghost, he didn't know what to do for a while, and immediately asked, "Master of the village, what is a water ghost?"
"Master Chi Zhuang, this water ghost also eats in the water, but most of them are people with excellent water nature, not only can they hide in the water for three days and three nights without coming out, but they can also dive into the deep water that ordinary people can't dive, they specialize in doing some digging boats for others and catching some rare fish in the deep water for a living. Chu Lu said simply.
"Master of the village, how do you know that they are water ghosts? Guo Ming couldn't help but ask beside him, because he also knew what water ghosts were, but he didn't see it.
Chu Lu smiled slightly, then walked up to a corpse, lifted the white cloth on it, and then pointed to the corpse's feet and said: " The owner of the pond, you see this, this kind of shoes, is made of fish skin, and it is also a kind of deep-water fish, called Tang Minnow, this kind of fish can not be eaten, but its fish skin is not only very light, but also very tough, and there are many invisible small floating spines on the fish skin, which can help it swim in the water, Tang Minnow is relying on this, in order to swim very fast in the water, but this kind of fish, only in deep water, never swim to the top, so, can catch this fish in large quantities, but also made of shoes, this is only the water ghosts can do, ordinary people, not so idle, no ability。 ”
After Chu Lu's words, Guo Ming was the first to react, and he was amazed, and Chi Zhongtian on the side also sighed that this Chu Lu was a veteran on the water, and he could see through these at a glance.
"Okay, since the lord of the village is so sure, then how do you know that they are from the Fuling River?" Chi Zhongtian then asked.
"Master Chi Zhuang, this water ghost is not so easy to find, I won't tell you, none of my hundreds of brothers have the ability to water ghosts, but on the Fuling River, there is a group of water ghosts, this, people in this area of mixed water, all know. Chu Lu said.
"Do you know where they are?" Chi Zhongtian then asked.
"I really don't know about that, because we haven't dealt with each other before, and I'm afraid few people will know where they are. Chu Lu said with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, didn't you say that they all have to rely on business to make a living? That's easy, let's go to the vicinity of the Fuling River to inquire, and we will definitely be able to ask some clues." Chi Zhongtian comforted from the side.
"Master Chi Zhuang, the water ghosts are not easy to deal with, you have to think about it. Chu Lu said.
"Hmph, just a water ghost, what are you afraid of? General Guo, how about you please lend me a boat and send me to the Fuling River?" Chi Zhongtian said.
"Okay, I'm going to get people ready!"
I don't know weishenme, now Guo Ming can be said to be obedient to Chi Zhongtian, whatever Chi Zhongtian said, he agreed without saying a word, and in just a few blinks of an eye, the boat was prepared for Chi Zhongtian.
Chi Zhongtian deliberately brought Chu Lu with him, after all, Chu Lu was mixed on the water, and he would definitely be able to help with him, and Chu Lu was also happy to deal with Chi Zhongtian, so he happily agreed.
The two of them floated south along the Jialing River in a small boat, and soon entered the Fuling River, the biggest difference between the Jialing River and the Fuling River is that Chi Zhongtian felt that the water of the Jialing River was not as clean as the Fuling River.
Soon, the two sailed the boat to the shore and stopped near the ferry, the ferry port of the Fuling River is similar to that of the Jialing River, and there are also many boats parked here, there are small boats that carry people to cross the river, and there are also a few slightly larger boats, and the owners of the boats who have no business find a slightly larger boat to go up together, and then get together to play dice and other things for recreation.
After Chi Zhongtian and Chu Lu got off the boat and walked to the shore, a few people peddling food came over, and generally speaking, whether it was the boat owner or the pedestrians who came by boat, they would eat something first when they arrived at the shore.
Although I had just eaten a meal in the Jishui Village in Chulu before, I didn't eat enough to eat the fish pond in the sky, and I saw that these food sellers were cooked beef and some steaming pancakes, so I moved my index finger and bought a few catties of cooked beef and some pancakes, and divided some of them, and the two of them tried their best to eat the pancake roll beef, and after eating, they suddenly felt much better.
"Alas, this boat ride is the most tiring, the big boat is stuffy, the small boat is shaking, and it is uncomfortable. After Chi Zhongtian had eaten his fill, he said as he walked around the shore.
Chu Lu smiled slightly: "What the owner of the pond said is reasonable, when I first started this business, I was not used to it, and then it gradually got better." ”
"When we're full, it's time for us to get down to business. Chi Zhongtian said with a smile.
"That's that, Master Chi, you wait here, I'll go find someone to ask. As he spoke, he was about to move forward.
"Hey, not busy. Chi Zhongtian suddenly stopped him.
