"Bite your face?" I frowned a lot. Although I didn't say it directly, I felt weird.
Water ghouls rarely have the habit of chewing people's faces, and they won't let people tell them about it.
They all live in the water and make a living by eating dead bodies.
That is to say, there are too many water ghouls in the Red River, and they are being calculated by others, so they drag people away from the shore.
Is there actually this kind of water ghoul in Yangjiang?
While I was thinking, the fisherman nodded repeatedly. He covered his face with one hand, glanced at the river with great vigilance, and then said: "A few days ago, there was a cargo ship with people who did not believe in evil. They came from other provinces to deliver goods. Not only did he talk about the water ghouls, he even said that he would kill two of them and roast them. As a result, all the people on the ship were eaten by the water ghouls that night. It was not until yesterday that the corpse guards at Mashan Yizhuang took away the corpses. "
My pupils tightened again, and I nodded and said, "Did anything special happen?"
The fisherman shook his head, with a nervous look on his face: "I can't say enough. In the past few years, people have died every now and then. There are not even a thousand, but six hundred. I hope the immortal master can come out of seclusion as soon as possible."
With that said, he hurriedly walked further in the direction.
I took a deep breath and returned to the shore again.
Looking out over the river and watching the fishermen coming and going, I have more thoughts in my mind.
Time passed slowly.
It was starting to get dark.
When some fishermen passed by me, they gave me a friendly reminder, saying that it was dark and unsafe in this place, so I should hurry back to the city.
I gave them a kind smile in return and did not leave.
When the time gradually reached midnight, that is, after eight o'clock, it became completely dark.
There were no boats on the water.
Only the edge of the pier on the shore was full of boats.
The horse next to me kicked its hooves twice and wanted to walk away slightly uneasily.
I held the reins and gently stroked the side of the horse's face to soothe it.
The water level seemed to have risen a bit during the night, almost reaching my feet.
I was about to go to the dock to untie a boat and go to the middle of the river to have a look.
Since there are three things to do in Kaiyang, one of them is to be a ghost.
The man should be referring to the water ghoul.
Of course, this was heard by Zhang Jiugua, and he used this information to deceive me.
I just happened to be able to solve this problem easily.
However, this matter is not easy to solve.
The water ghoul is underwater, and even the Taoist priests of the Liu family have trouble getting down.
If I don't figure out why there are so many water ghouls here, it will be difficult to eradicate them.
Walk towards the pier.
Before I even got on the pier, a group of people walked up from a distance, holding torches for lighting.
I didn't move the boat immediately. After all, I picked it up without asking. Any further misunderstanding would only delay things.
Not long after, the pedestrian arrived at the bottom of the pier.
The leader was a lame man with a broken leg. He had a wooden stick tied to one leg to maintain balance and walk.
Beside him, there were two young men.
The two people looked very similar. They were both about 20 years old and had long horse faces.
One of them is skinny, the other is a bit stronger.
Their faces were extremely pale, as if they had not seen the sun for a long time.
The three of them went to the pier, and the cripple in the leader pointed to a slightly larger boat on the west side.
The two young men went straight forward and reached the front of the boat. A young man in the front jumped into the boat and soon pulled out something wrapped in white cloth.
I saw at a glance that the center of the white cloth was human hair...
Is that a corpse? !
The young man pulled it out, and the young man on the dock helped to lift it.
"Dad, this corpse is not stiff yet. He has to be poisoned when he goes back. Where are his family members? Why can't they come out?" The thin young man said with a bit of a male duck voice.
The lame man coughed and said, "It's not easy to fish out the drowned people in the water quickly. They are afraid of being targeted by the water ghoul. Let's leave quickly."
After the lame man finished speaking, he was about to walk towards the bottom of the pier.
At this time, he suddenly raised his head and looked at my face.
His body suddenly stiffened, showing a bit of confusion.
In fact, I started watching him too.
The clothes on this man looked familiar.
Of course, it’s not that the one I’ve seen recently looks familiar, but the outfit is clearly that of a corpse exorcist.
In addition, his face looked particularly familiar.
Although time has made him older, the skin on his face has become wrinkled.
But I still recognized it.
This person is Ma Baojin who parted ways with us after he broke his leg!
When I went to get the Tongqiao Golden Ruler, Jiang Pan and I joined forces, but were temporarily betrayed by Ma Kuan and Ma Baojin, and almost lost their lives on the mountain!
Later, something happened to Ma Baojin on the mountain. We went down to rescue people, but Ma Kuan betrayed him again.
This time he gave up Ma Baojin's life and escaped alone.
Later, Jiang Pan was seriously injured, and Ma Kuan and I became enemies. After Ma Kuan left, we revived Ma Baojin, and he left alone, saying that he wanted to find a place to take his wife and children with him until he grew old...
I only remember so much of what happened back then.
I never expected that I would see Ma Baojin in Kaiyang!
The fisherman was talking about Mashan Yizhuang during the day!
It turned out to be Ma Baojin’s charity village!
"Ma Baojin?" I stopped thinking and shouted in a low voice.
His body trembled, and then he quickly lowered his head.
"You made a mistake." His voice changed a bit, and he walked back in the direction of his return with the wooden stick on his lame leg.
The two young men looked up at me in surprise.
But the stronger one quickly lowered his head and moved forward. He whispered: "Let's go, brother."
The thinner young man followed him off the pier.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Baojin led the two young men out more than ten meters away.
I squinted my eyes slightly and did not follow him.
I just feel a little sad.
Ma Kuan died under my knife, but Ma Baojin had two sons.
Fate has protected him, and we can see the difference between him and Ma Kuan.
I was ready to step forward to punt the boat, and the boat I saw happened to be the boat where they pulled the body.
But the figures in the distance suddenly turned into two.
I also heard the sound of rushing water.
A panicked roar came: "You beasts! Get out!" The voice was hoarse and thick, and it clearly belonged to Ma Baojin.
Another horrified cry also reached the ears.
"Let go of my brother! I will fight with you!"
The voice behind was clearly the stronger young man, and he immediately jumped into the water!
As a result, several black shadows emerged from the water and pushed him directly into the water.
Further on the water, there were several black figures, dragging a person quickly towards the river!
"Baozhong! Baoyi!" Ma Baojin's roar almost broke his voice.
The next moment, his steps were extremely staggering, and he ran towards me.
But he was lame, and after running two steps, he fell to the ground and let out a scream.
I frowned and immediately stepped onto the boat.
But I didn't hold the boat anymore, so I quickly crossed the hull to the stern. I jumped into the water and swam quickly towards those black figures!
