Luo Fengtang's eyes were a little more cautious, and he told Yang Ruoqing: "You wait here, I'll go over and see what's going on."
Yang Ruoqing grabbed him and was eager to try: "You must take me with you, I want to see it too."
Luo Fengtang had no choice but to sneak forward together.
The further they went, the more obvious the gurgling sound became, as if they were trying to drink up the water in the river, which was not deep in the first place.
The moonlight hung overhead, and from the foot of the mountain to the fields, there were no big snakes.
"The thing is in the river."
Luo Fengtang said solemnly, raising the scabbard in his hand and pushing aside the lush grass by the river.
Yang Ruoqing stood on tiptoes and looked into the river. Then, her pupils shrank, and she patted Luo Fengtang's arm gently and excitedly, "Big frog, what a big frog!"
Luo Fengtang lowered his eyes and saw a big frog squatting among the water plants on the other side.
His legs were in the water plants and mud on the shore, his head was stuck in the water, and he was holding on to the mud in the water with a pair of thick arms and was drinking heavily.
"Oh my God, why are there such big frogs? Is this a frog that has become a spirit or is Ouyang Feng practicing toad kung fu?"
Yang Ruoqing was amazed again, she had never seen such a big frog before.
Squatting there is the size of an adult man.
If you add some diced lotus root and potatoes to make a hot pot bullfrog, you will probably need to make hundreds of pots... Uh, okay, I subconsciously went too far.
"No, that's not a frog, that's a person!"
Luo Fengtang's cold words reached her ears, breaking her thoughts about the hot pot bullfrog.
"What? People?"
She squinted her eyes and looked again.
Gosh, he's really human, those arms, those legs... what the hell are they!
Luo Fengtang kicked a small stone into the water with his feet, then pulled Yang Ruoqing to squat down together, using the weeds in front of him to block his body.
"Ding dong"
The small stone fell next to the big human-shaped frog and splashed water.
The thing was startled and raised its head suddenly.
This time, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang on the other side saw clearly that they really had a human face.
No, it was the same person at all, and it was not someone else. They both knew that person. Not only did they know each other, but they also had an unusual relationship.
It turned out to be Yang Yongqing!
"How could this happen? What the hell is he doing!"
Yang Ruoqing was so shocked that her eyes almost fell into the river.
"I'll catch him and ask him what's going on!"
She was so anxious that she was about to get up, but Luo Fengtang held her back.
"Don't be impulsive. Let's see what happens first."
Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to squat down again patiently, and then looked at Yang Yongqing on the other side.
Yang Yongqing looked like a big frog now. He was disturbed by the small stone. He raised his head and stared at a pair of eyes that were several times larger than usual. He looked around and then opened his eyes. He opened his mouth and let out a burp.
"Quack!"
He yelled twice more, turned around, put his feet on the ground with his hands, and jumped ashore.
After landing on the shore, he croaked twice, jumped over the shore along the old bridge, and then jumped in the direction of Changping Village.
His head was buried in the water to drink water, and his hair was completely wet. Now it was like a piece of black cloth hanging on the back of his head. Under the moonlight, this crouching and jumping posture was really eye-catching. Creepy.
Yang Ruoqing suddenly thought of an anime she had watched, Attack on Titan. Yang Yongqing's shape was like a giant in it, a humanoid monster.
"What kind of evil has he fallen into?"
Keeping a safe distance and following Yang Yongqing towards the village, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but mutter to Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang shook his head, "This is the first time I have seen such evil things. I think even if Taoist Yuan is here, he may not be able to give an answer."
The two temporarily changed their plans to go to the pasture and followed Yang Yongqing into the village first.
"With his appearance, if he meets any old man or woman who gets up at night to go to the toilet later, he will be scared to death." Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but hold her forehead and broke into a cold sweat for the villagers.
As a result, Yang Yongqing suddenly stood up before he finished speaking.
He walked like a normal person again, walking on two feet, swinging his arms and wandering towards Lao Yang's house.
"It seems to have returned to normal." Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing blinked, "Sleepwalking? In the dream, the prince turns into a frog?"
Luo Fengtang thought for a moment, "We'll observe again tomorrow night. Let's go to the pasture!"
Yang Ruoqing nodded, there were so many things, one after another, and they were all strange things.
The pasture is very quiet.
There was a wind lantern left outside the fence, swaying in the night wind.
There was also silence in the three low thatched houses.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang walked around the pasture, then climbed over the wall and entered the yard.
Sun stood for a long time under the tree where she saw the man squatting under an umbrella.
"To be honest, I felt that when we stood here, those things were just like us playing hide and seek, and they were too scared to come out. But when we turned around, they did whatever they were supposed to do. This is really It’s a headache!”
Yang Ruoqing held on to the tree with a look of helplessness.
Luo Fengtang also raised his head and looked at the moon, feeling helpless.
"I was thinking, this place used to be a village, and then it was massacred. What was the reason for the massacre? Next time I go back to the county seat, I have to visit the county magistrate and borrow the Wanghai County Chronicle to take a closer look. Maybe I can Find out the truth.”
Yang Ruoqing touched the rough tree body and said: "What if we know the truth? People can't be resurrected. The few sentences in the county annals were written at that time, which caused panic and disaster for the whole village. Those things are still It’s better to let it sit in the ground.”
The two of them stayed in the pasture until midnight, and everything was peaceful.
"That's it for tonight, let's go back." Yang Ruoqing tightened her clothes tightly and said.
Luo Fengtang wanted to stay all night, but seeing that Yang Ruoqing didn't have many clothes on, he took off his coat and put it on her: "Okay, go back first and come back tomorrow night."
Early the next morning, Yang Ruoqing found an excuse to come to the old house.
"Auntie, where is my little cousin?"
As soon as she arrived in the backyard, she met Jin coming out, holding the little girl of Yang Yongqing's family in her hand.
Jin made several gestures towards Yang Ruoqing, and Yang Ruoqing understood clearly that this meant that Yang Yongqing was still sleeping.
"Why is he staying in bed when he doesn't go to work in the fields in broad daylight?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
There are so many people in Lao Yang's family. Except for Yang Yongqing, who is serious about farming at home, everyone else is more or less doing other things to make a living.
Jin made another sign, this time it meant that Yang Yongqing was sick and had vomited.
"Then let me see him."
Hearing that Yang Ruoqing was going to visit Yang Yongqing, Jin quickly took the little girl back and led Yang Ruoqing the way.
This time she understood clearly that Jin just wanted to go to the village entrance to find Sun to ask for some brown sugar and boil water with Lao Jiang for Yang Yongqing to drink.
"Let me see how he is doing first. If it doesn't work, I'll call a doctor for you." Yang Ruoqing comforted Jin.
Jin nodded repeatedly, because Yang Yongqing lived in the same house with Mo. Mo was a fool and was confused in other seasons. In the spring, when the rapeseed flowers bloomed, he was even more stupid and couldn't distinguish between east, west, north and south, so Jin could only Lock up her room.
In the past, the Jin family would get sick in the spring. Later, Fu'er's death dealt a huge blow to the Jin family. It was like fighting fire with fire. In the spring, she didn't get sick at all.
Especially Yang Yongqing's child still needs her to take care of. Under the responsibility and pressure, her illness has improved a lot for the first time.
At this moment, she took out the key and opened the door, calling Yang Ruoqing to go in.
