"But the seven people soaked in the water refused to get on the boat no matter what. They raised their heads and stared at the people on the boat. They kept repeating those words to persuade people to go into the water. That scene... .That scene was incredibly weird.”
"Someone took a lantern from the boat and shone it into the water, and found that the faces of these people underwater...the faces of these people actually glowed with a faint green color!"
Yu Chengmu looked at the river, frowned slightly, and after a moment he whispered: "It's a water ghost."
"That's right!" The old man nodded sharply and continued in a hoarse voice, "The old man on the boat immediately realized that they were entangled by the water ghost, and the people who entered the water were probably captured by the water ghost. ."
"At this time, they no longer care about the fishing nets. They need to row the boat away immediately and return to the shore. The sooner the better!"
"But no matter how hard they rowed, the boat seemed to have taken root and couldn't row away. It was still spinning on the water."
"Then, someone shouted, saying that those people in the water were sinking and disappearing."
"As soon as he finished speaking, the man's boat shook violently."
"The people above didn't stand firm, and two people fell into the water immediately. The person who yelled also fell into the water."
"But before he could call for help, the person sank very fast. In the blink of an eye, both of them were gone."
"Some people later recalled seeing many hands reaching out from the water, and it was those hands that grabbed the two men and dragged them down."
"The water was tinged with black at that time, and those hands were extremely white, pale and pale. They didn't look like the hands of a living person. They looked like they had been soaked in the water for who knows how long."
"What happened next?" Du Moyu urged with a gloomy face.
"While these two people were being dragged into the water, the boat suddenly started to move. The rest of the people's minds went blank and they didn't care about anything except rowing desperately." The old man breathed a sigh of relief and looked at them with complicated eyes. "That's how I escaped back to the shore and saved my life."
"That night, when I heard that something like this happened, the village exploded. Everyone was worried all night."
"The most senior elders in the village got together and after discussion, they determined that the villagers had offended the river god in the Dushui River. The river god was punishing him for all this."
"It took a lot of time until dawn. The old village chief gathered the whole village together. Everyone took the sacrifices and went to the river again, intending to worship the river god and ask him to calm down his anger."
"This time, as soon as we arrived at the river, everyone was dumbfounded. They found that the river had actually receded, and on a big rock in the mudflat not far from the river bank, there was actually a large piece of fishing net wrapped around it. Most of the fishing net was still there. In the river.”
"After the villagers discussed it, they sent a few young people with good water skills to walk over on the wet mud, carefully untied the fishing net wrapped around the rocks, then pulled the fishing net and quickly returned to the shore."
"The fishing net is very heavy, and the other end is still in the river. A few strong young men can't pull it at all. More and more people come up to help."
"As the fishing net was pulled out of the water little by little, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. There were people hanging on the fishing net. No, it was... a corpse!"
"The corpses were connected to each other, and the latter corpse pulled the feet of the previous corpse with such strength that they could not break it apart. First, the two people who were shaken into the water, and then the seven people who jumped into the water on their own initiative."
"Finally...finally, after all the fishing nets came out of the water, there were a lot of corpses in the nets."
"The corpses were all soaked and entangled with each other. It was impossible to tell who was who, but who else could it be? It must be the villagers who were washed away by the flood!"
Having said this, the old man's breathing became rapid, and his pupils shrank uncontrollably, "Who would have thought... Who would have thought that the corpses of these villagers were not washed away, but were gathered together, right... Under water!”
"While collecting the corpse, we also found that the abdomen of the corpse was severely swollen. Although the corpse was soaked, it was all..." the old man gestured with his hands, his expression exaggerated, "They all looked like that, but the corpse The abdomen is especially exaggerated, and the outer skin is stretched until it becomes transparent."
"One of the corpses accidentally fell to the ground while it was being restrained, and its belly exploded as if it had been blown out."
"The belly is full of fish fragments, and... there are also some aquatic plants, sludge, and the like. It smells particularly fishy."
"Everyone was talking privately, as if these corpses had lived under the water for a while, that is... these corpses had eaten up all the fish in the Dushui River!"
Hearing this, Yu Chengmu twirled his beard and sneered, "Little ghosts eat wax, dead people carry coffins, and corpses hang under the water. Your village has done so many evils!"
Hearing Yu Chengmu's words, the old man's face became particularly ugly, but he was still explaining, "What did the master say? Our village...the village has always been kind to people, but we don't dare to do things that are harmful to nature. There is a god in the ruler!”
"You yourself know clearly whether you have done anything harmful or not." The fat man couldn't stand it anymore and glared at the old man.
Jiang Cheng looked at the old man and said calmly: "Okay, now tell us about the Wu family. Why do you call the eldest daughter of the Wu family Empress Dahe? What has she done for the village that makes her worthy of you?" Build a temple specifically for her.”
"Hey -" mentioning the eldest lady of the Wu family, the old man sighed subconsciously, "This eldest lady of the Wu family is the benefactor of our entire village. Without her, the masters would not be able to see our village now. "
Lei Mingyu didn't want to give face to the old man, he looked fierce, "What, you still think we are willing to see your village?"
The old man was scolded and couldn't help but shrink his neck, "Masters, I just talked about the corpses on the fishing nets, those water ghosts, and there are many other things like this. Many people have died in the village. We... ..We really couldn’t live anymore.”
"We slaughtered all the best livestock in the village and threw them into the crossing river to offer them to the river god, but it was still useless."
"Until late one night, a man in our village seemed to have suddenly gone crazy. He went from house to house and knocked on the doors. He said that he knew why the river god was angry. It was because the river god was too lonely under the water and asked the village to dedicate a woman to him. Be a wife.”
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng suddenly frowned, as if he could have foreseen a tragedy happening.
The fat man also hated such things and couldn't help but said angrily: "If he dares to say such a thing, do you dare to believe it?"
Hearing this, the old man had a mournful expression on his face, "I can't believe it. You don't know that the person who broke down the door to report the news... he was born mute!"
